Man gets life sentence in UTC sexual assault A man who dragged a young woman 20 yards up a grassy hill outside the UTC mall in August of 2014 and tried to sexually assault her was sentenced Oct. 16 to life in prison plus four years consecutively.

Adan Espinoza Moore Jr., 23, will have to serve seven years of his life sentence plus four years before he would be eligible for parole, said Deputy District Attorney Aidee Brunner.

The victim, now 22, was attacked at 8:20 p.m.

Aug. 20, 2014 as she walked towards a pedestrian bridge over La Jolla Village Drive.

Moore’s attorney, Mary Privo, blamed much of the incident on Moore’s addiction to viewing pornography, saying “He was so desensitized to his addiction.

He became almost like a robot.”

In the probation report, Moore said he had SEE ASSAULT>> PG. 9

Debate among council hopefuls centers on STVRs, Children's Pool

By DAVE SCHWAB Three candidates vying to replace First District Councilmember Sherri Lightner, who terms out in 2016, debated all things La Jolla discussing what they’d do to polish the Jewel at a public forum Oct. 8 at La Jolla Rec Center.

Obama crashes wedding at Torrey Pines golf course, to newlyweds' astonishment A San Diego couple getting married at one of the United States' most storied golf courses had the surprise of their lives when they stumbled upon the nation's president.

Brian and Stephanie Tobe were at The Lodge at Torrey Pines the morning of Oct. 11 getting ready for their wedding when they first got word President Obama was in the area playing golf. They had heard rumors that the president would be at the same course as their wedding was taking place but didn't think much of it.

Around noon, they heard the president was on the course.

"We're stacked up against the window, looking out as we see him coming down across the green," Stephanie said, recalling how they watched the president head to the 18th hole.

The couple's wedding ceremony was set for 4:30 p.m. at a spot right above the 18th hole, Stephanie said.

Their photographers, Erin and Jeff Youngren, had been trying to see if the couple could get closer. The couple were putting the final touches on their respective wedding outfits when their photographers spotted the president coming nearby. They saw he was shaking hands and

decided this would be the couple's only chance to meet him. Erin barged into the room and said, "This is our chance."

Stephanie said she didn't hesitate.

"I picked up my wedding dress and just started running down the hall," Stephanie said.

"Our friends are yelling and screaming the moment we come out onto the grass," Stephanie said.

"I darted ahead; I didn't care," said Stephanie, who recalled running ahead of her soon-to-be husband. "I just had to get there.

"Honestly, I'm normally a pretty shy person, but man, yesterday, for the wedding day and in that moment, I didn't care about anything," Stephanie said.

The couple met the president, shook his hand and took a couple of photos with him.

"It was just really nice, just totally unexpected," Stephanie said. "I never thought we'd have a chance in the world to meet him."

Though the talk was brief, Brian, a doctor at the Veterans Administration office in San Diego, said he talked to the president about his work at the hospital and their shared connection to the University of Chicago. Obama was friendly and

a good listener, Stephanie recalled.

"He specifically told my husband Brian not to step on my dress," said Stephanie, laughing at the memory.

Her wedding dress included a long lace train.

Stephanie's Aunt Judy, who would be officiating the wedding, even asked the president if he would like to take on her role and officiate the wedding, to which the president jokingly replied that Judy looked like she could handle it.

Stephanie and Brian Tobe flank the crasher-in-chief.

Merchants elect board members, discuss signage, Pillage the Village

By DAVE SCHWAB In October, La Jolla Village Merchants Association elected new board members and discussed progress on directional/wayfinding signage, organizing Pillage the Village trick-or-treating and setting up the Village Holiday Festival of Lights competition.

The following candidates, including their vote totals, were elected to the group: Christophe Cevasco, 66; Nancy Warwick, 57; Brett Murphy, 50; Michael Dorvillier, 46; ClaudeAnthony Marengo, 45; Ike Fazzio, 38; and Adam Barno, 32. They will be sworn in at the start of the Nov.

11 board of directors meeting for the 2015-2017 term. Also in November, the association's executive committee officers will be nominated and voted on.

Association executive director Sheila Fortune said the number of votes cast in this year’s board election was down to 80, from 116 last year.

“Next year, we’re not going to do mail-in ballots again, because it was very expensive, averaging out to almost $40 a vote,” Fortune said, adding that turnout is better when association members vote in person.

Association director Claudette Berwin, who is co-chairing the

annual Pillage the Village children’s Halloween celebration along with Leon Chow, distributed event posters and noted a planned kid’s costume contest “should be great.”

Berwin said Pillage the Village will be held Friday, Oct. 30, the day before Halloween, so kids can go straight from La Jolla Elementary School to trick or treat in the Village.

“The costume contest will be held later at La Jolla Real Estate Brokers Association, with costumes in four or five different categories,” Berwin said.

Pillage the Village will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. For more information, visit pillagethevillage.info.

Fortune updated the group on plans for this year’s Holiday Festival of Lights competition, which asks Village merchants to add lighting and dress up their businesses for the holidays.

“This will be our second annual Holiday Festival of Lights,” Fortune said, “and last year, we had about 20 participating businesses decorating their storefronts and putting up lights after Thanksgiving.” She added that, once again, holiday decorations will be judged in different categories and prizes awarded to competition winners.

“We just want to light up the Village if we can,” Fortune said. “Hope-

fully, everyone will participate.”

Association director Richard Walker talked about work moving forward on developing directional/wayfinding signage in the Village.

“Right now, we’re concentrating on the look and feel of the signs, what should go into the design details,” Walker said, adding, “Then after that, we’ll figure out how we want to fund them.”

Another issue to be discussed is where signage should be strategically placed, said Walker.

Fortune pointed out that whatever signage design is ultimately chosen, it needs to be vetted with the other community groups in La Jolla.

Man guilty in kidnaps of two women for robbery A man who was earlier convicted of robbing two women in La Jolla was found guilty Oct. 16 of kidnapping both women for robbery, which means he could receive two life terms in prison.

Keith Luckett, 25, of Moreno Valley, was barred from the courtroom after he made an outburst during the closing arguments. He was told of the verdicts by his attorney in another room.

Luckett was convicted of robbing the two women Aug. 12 at his second trial, but the jury deadlocked on whether he had kidnapped them for robbery.

The seven-man, five-woman jury in his third trial deliberated an hour on Oct. 16 before convicting Luckett of the kidnapping for robbery charges, which involved him forcing two women to go to their bank ATMs and withdrawing $500 each on May 4, 2014.

Deputy District Attorney Jessica Coto said Luckett faces two life terms plus six years consecutively in prison when Luckett is sentenced on Nov. 13. Luckett will have to serve 20 years in prison before his first chance at getting parole, said Coto.

Lauren Gonzalez and Stella Cha were out-of-town visitors to La Jolla to attend a wedding when Luckett pointed a gun at them in front of the La Jolla Woman’s Club at 7791 Draper St. around 12:40 a.m. Luckett ordered Cha to drive to the women's ATMs to retrieve money.

Luckett had a DNA profile with law enforcement, as he had been arrested after making threats to his father-in-law. Police arrested him at a recovery shelter and found a black BB gun under his bed. It is not known whether he used the BB gun or a real gun in the robberies.

Bringing it on This hardy group is none the worse for wear as more than 5,000 supporters of the San Diego-based Challenged Athletes Foundation met at La Jolla Cove for the 22nd annual Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge on Oct. 18 – an event that raised $1.4 million to help physically challenged individuals get the support they need to succeed in sports and in life. In a related event, 150 cyclists arrived in San Diego on Oct. 16 after raising $1.6 million during the 10th anniversary of the seven-day, 620-mile Mazda Foundation Mil-

lion Dollar Challenge cycle ride down the coast of California. The Challenged Athletes Foundation also held six clinics designed to teach challenged athletes the skills and confidence they need to reach their physical fitness and athletic goals. Funds will allow the foundation to provide adaptive sports equipment, travel and training and competition expenses to athletes around the world with physical challenges and to support the organization’s mentoring programs and schedule of annual, free mobility clinics.

Surf camps, nonprofit status topics at Shores group parley

By DAVE SCHWAB In October, La Jolla Shores Association was updated on the status of surf camps and clued in by the current chair on efforts to make the advisory group a nonprofit.

San Diego Lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky noted that ocean temperatures, even at this late date, remain unseasonably warm. He said warm weather and 72-degree water tem-

peratures recently were keeping lifeguard crews extremely busy.

“We’ve had a lot of rescues in La Jolla Shores, including cliff rescues at Black’s Beach,” said Stropky, adding a pilot program to extend evening hours for surf camps at the Shores has been successful and gone without incident.

“It’s worked for us,” said board member Izzy Tihanyi, a surf camp owner.

Board member Janie Emerson moved to extend later hours in the surf camp’s contracts with the city, with an annual review of the functionality of those camps. The group unanimously approved her suggestion.

Association chair Nick LeBeouf said he has been exploring the possibility of the advisory group becoming a 501(c)3 nonprofit, which would allow it to accept charitable

donations to pay for group operating expenses as well as community improvements being undertaken on behalf of the group.

Immediate past chair Tim Lucas urged caution, noting nonprofit status involves “rigorous (financial) accounting on an annual basis.”

LeBeouf said he knows of an organization that would help guide the association through the process for a reasonable 9 percent fee.

Education

Lawsuit filed against San Diego Unified in case of injured La Jolla football player San Diego Unified School District is the target of a lawsuit in the case of a La Jolla High School football player who suffered multiple concussions during a game last year.

The player's family said the teen was told to ignore the injury and that he was put back on the field.

Trey Enloe's parents said the coach did not do enough to protect their son from severe brain injuries, adding that the teen suffered multiple concussions during a junior varsity football game last October in which La Jolla played Point Loma High School.

His parents said Enloe, now 18 and a senior, told his coach he was not feeling well following the first hit. William Berman, the family's attorney, claims the assistant coach sent him back on the field. "He was told to get back in there, to 'suck it up,' and get back in the field," said Berman.

According to Enloe's mother Jana, her son took one blow after another.

By the third quarter, she said, Enloe's eyes were dilated, and he was talking out one side of his mouth; his father David reported that the teen had vomited on the sidelines.

During the game, Enloe's team-

mates told him to see the trainer, who told his parents Enloe had sustained the worst concussion he had ever seen.

"When you start letting coaches inflict their personal desires to win at all costs, that is when we have problems," said Berman.

Berman said Steve Wachs, the assistant coach, was suspended for two games and has not come back to the team.

Concussion protocols have rippled down from the NFL to high school sports. More than 300,000 sportrelated injures have been reported each year, and related findings have come under increased focus. In January of 2013, the National Institutes of Health released findings on late former San Diego Charger Junior Seau, whose autopsy showed similarities with those of people “with exposure to repetitive head injuries.”

Seau, 43, committed suicide in May of 2012. Similarly, former NFL player Dave Duerson shot himself in the chest in 2011, leaving a note asking that his brain be studied for trauma.

A spokesperson for the school district said the district is not able to

comment on pending claims or lawsuits but has changed its concussion policies and requires all coaches to pass the California Interscholastic Federation concussion course. The federation commissioner says it is up to the district to enforce the rules but will investigate if there is a complaint.

The Enloes said despite state guidelines, schools and coaches need to do more to educate and train for concussions.

"I definitely think,” Jana Enloe said, “that more can be done on training, and definitely, if a child says 'I don't think I can go in,' don't put them back in the game.”

Meanwhile, she said she fears the injuries may have led to depression. "'I just have to ask you,'” she said, “'have you ever thought about taking your own life?' And he said, 'Yes, mom, I have.' That is the part I just, as a mom, I don't want my child to ever have that feeling.”

The Enloes said Trey will go through another round of testing in February, when his doctors will determine if he will suffer from the concussion for the rest of his life.

Bird Rock parents beat the heat amid sweltering classroom temps (Editor's note: Soaring temperatures this school year have sparked some ire among parents regarding the quality of learning in the scores of San Diego classrooms without air conditioning. San Diego Newspaper Group's Beach & Bay Press of Oct. 15, in fact, features a story on the topic – meanwhile, here's a look at a group of Bird Rock Elementary parents that took matters into their own hands.)

By MARIO KORAN VOICE OF SAN DIEGO

As heat spiked over the last couple months, some San Diego classrooms neared 100 degrees. Parents took photos of thermometers and contacted news outlets. One parent said she was pulling her kids from school until it cooled off.

Another said she wouldn’t subject her dog to the conditions in kids’ classrooms.

Have patience, the district said; a plan to air-condition more schools is in progress.

But parents at Bird Rock Elementary in La Jolla didn’t wait.

They paid for it themselves.

Now, all Bird Rock classrooms have new, high-capacity air conditioning units either installed or

on the way, according to a flier sent to parents. And why stop there?

“Now that we have air, we have big plans for shade. Shade in the lunch arbor. Shade over the blacktop play structure. Shade between the bungalows. And trees. Why not?”

All this is made possible by Bird Rock’s robust school foundation, a nonprofit that raised more than $150,000 in the 2013-14 fiscal year, according to its tax records.

That’s money that will stay in the school and directly benefit Bird Rock students.

Mike McQuary, a San Diego Unified trustee who represents schools in La Jolla, said Bird Rock parents approached the district to ask if they could foot the bill for air conditioners. District officials said that was fine, so long as they filled out paperwork and made sure the equipment they planned to install was up to standards before officials signed off on it, McQuary said.

“I don’t think we should let some kids suffer because we can’t roll out AC across the district,” McQuary said.

Parents at other schools can do the same thing, he said.

Richard (Moon) Mullen, 84; former Vietnam Donald W. Wilkie, 84, founded POW founded Junior Olympics By DAVE SCHWAB Birch Aquarium at Scripps It is with huge regret that we note the passing of La Jolla resident Richard Dean (Moon) Mullen, USN (Ret.), a kind and thoughtful gentleman and a true American hero who was a La Jolla Kiwanian for many years. He was 84.

It was Moon’s experience in Japan, witnessing a family-oriented, Olympics-like event, that gave him the idea for doing something similar here.

That ultimately turned into the Junior Olympics, hosted by La Jolla Kiwanis every year and held at La Jolla High School Stadium, in which hundreds of local students, boys and girls, participate.

The Chicago native was a combat pilot shot down over North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and he was a POW for several years. One of his cellmates was John McCain, the Arizona senator and former Republican presidential candidate.

Moon once gave a speech to Kiwanis about his POW experience.

“Harrowing” is not the word for what he and others endured for our country.

He recalled how he was physically tortured, once being tied together with another POW, with whom he

RICHARD (MOON) MULLEN

became lifelong best friends.

They held each other up; otherwise, one or both of them would have fallen and been severely injured given their depleted conditions.

Worse than even the physical beatings was the long periods of isolation Moon and his colleagues endured.

They were able to communicate only by Morse code, tapping on their cell walls.

Moon told of “movie night” in the POW camp, where, to pass the time and remain connected with their native lands and their pasts, each prisoner recounted his favorite films, scene by scene.

But what was truly remarkable

about this man was not just his love for country — or what he sacrificed for it — but the amount of forgiveness in his heart and soul.

Moon returned to North Vietnam many years after his imprisonment.

He gave another speech to Kiwanis afterward, noting that the majority of people there are now so young — and also that so much time has passed since — that the war is largely just a distant memory there.

Moon said he was in favor of normalizing relations between the nations, pointing out he felt it was the right thing to do.

I remember him also being outspoken in favor of McCain’s 2008 presidential bid – though Moon was the first to remark, after McCain lost, that we all needed to get behind president-elect Barack Obama.

Richard (Moon) Mullen was one of a kind. I share some of these recollections of him in the hope that others can benefit from his experience — and wisdom — and learn to be more kind and thoughtful of our fellow human beings.

Moon can never be replaced. And he certainly will never be forgotten.

Donald Walter Wilkie, director of the Scripps Aquarium-Museum from 1965 to 1993 and founding director of the Stephen Birch Aquarium-Museum (now known as Birch Aquarium at Scripps), died on Oct. 5 in San Diego. He was 84.

Wilkie oversaw the transformation of what started as a few marine exhibits near the beach in La Jolla into a leading aquarium and educational facility that today sees more than 420,000 visitors a year.

“Don helped many young professionals grow into their fields,” said Harry Helling, newly named executive director at Birch. “I worked with him early in my career, and his kind advice helped to guide me onto a long pathway of successful contributions to the field of informal science education.

Indeed, we are all grateful for Don’s service as a leader in the renaissance of informal science centers and for his vision for today’s Birch Aquarium at Scripps as a world-class ocean interpretive center.”

Wilkie was born on June 20, 1931 in Vancouver, British

DONALD WILKIE

Columbia, Canada. He earned his bachelor’s degree in zoology at the University of British Columbia in 1960 and master of science in ichthyology (the study of fish) from University of British Columbia in 1966. Following graduation, he spent a year working for the British Columbia Fish and Game Department studying the ecology of coho salmon and steelhead trout and then spent two years as assistant curator at the Vancouver Aquarium.

Halloween is a city holiday at Barbarella

By DAVE SCHWAB This time of year, going to Barbarella in La Jolla Shores is a frightful experience.

Which shouldn’t surprise anyone, since owner Barbara Beltaire spares no expense every year in making her Italian restaurant La Jolla’s Halloween “hang.”

Surrounded by countless decorations of “things that go bump in the night,” Beltaire noted her annual Halloween haunt 15 years ago “started small, with people sending me things,” then really took off. “I started getting into it after seeing the reaction of the kids and adults,” she said. “I was having so much fun that I turned it into something that I can give to the community once a year.”

Beltaire has so many decorations she has to store them in a warehouse most of the year.

“I have so much Halloween stuff, I can’t put it all out,” she admitted.

Beltaire drew inspiration for celebrating holidays in a big way, especially Halloween, from her mother.

“She was the original influence,” said Beltaire. “She loved to have fun and make people happy. It’s really a lot of fun: more than I could have ever imagined,” she said.

The amount of scary decorations is truly astounding. Beltaire estimated she’s invested as much as

‘I encourage my customers to dress up, and they do. And we’re talking all ages: people in their 80s and 90s, kids, dogs.’

BARBARA BELTAIRE, OWNER OF BARBARELLA

$100,000 over the years in spiders, bats, ghosts, ghouls, a mummy “choir” and some 50 “mechanicals” that howl, hoot and leer and are endlessly entertaining/frightening.

“Some of the kids scream and are scared to death,” noted Beltaire, who added her employees have been possessed by her Halloween spirit.

“They are really playful with it,” she said. “They’ve been inspired by my insanity.”

Her employees dress in costume for a couple of weeks leading up to Halloween. One recently suggested they all have a cowboys and Indians theme night.

Suggestions like that fit neatly into Beltaire’s business philosophy. “I tell my employees they need to be ‘daymakers’ — that’s our job,” she said.

Asked if her Halloween decorating is a business draw, Beltaire responded, “That was not my intention. It is my intention to give back and do this for the community.”

Beltaire doubts there’s anyone anywhere who does Halloween in a business quite the way she does.

“I don’t think anybody else is crazy enough to do this,” she said with a snicker, while adding, “It’s a pretty big burden. It’s something you have to maintain day and night, plugging in all the electrical things.

That’s pretty intense.”

Beltaire also dresses up Barbarella for other holidays, like Hannukah and Christmas. But Halloween, as anyone who’s visited Barbarella this time of the year can attest, is completely over the top.

Beltaire said her Halloween haunting, though expensive in countless ways, is entirely worth it.

“I don’t buy fancy shoes or clothes,” she said. “I don’t drive a fancy car. I just spend all my money on my restaurant — and Halloween.

It’s for everybody else. I could have bigger problems, you know.”

Beltaire owns upward of 100 Halloween costumes, many of which she loans to her employees to wear. She said people young and old come in to share her Halloween “happening.”

“I encourage my customers to dress up, and they do,” Beltaire said.

The spirit of the season is all too evident at Barbarella.

“And we’re talking all ages: people in their 80s and 90s, kids, dogs.”

Other fun things happen at Barbarella, like Barbara Day, celebrated every year on Dec. 4.

“That’s St. Barbara’s Day,” pointed out Beltaire, adding, “It’s our name day.”

So Beltaire hosts a special invitation-only event wherein all the Barbaras come down with a gift in hand for a wing-ding and all the proceeds are donated to a worthy charity, like Toys for Tots last year.

Beltaire said Halloween, though, is truly special, because it gets her

re-energized every year “putting more money into it, keeping it fresh.”

She presented two Day of the Dead pillows made especially for her by one of her older patrons.

“How nice is that?” asked Beltaire, adding, “Every year, she makes me something for Halloween. That is the sweetest thing ever. The customers are amazing. They keep me alive.”

Barbarella is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner at 2171 Avenida de la Playa. For more information, call (858) 454-7373 or visit barbarellarestaurant.com.

The neighborhood plays at The Lot; you should too

By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN During the afternoon of Oct. 16, Mark Watney didn't eat a single fish taco. Not one. I know this because I've seen a video of his activities that day, and I scrutinized it very thoroughly on your behalf. His choice of solid fare consisted of two items – potatoes and more of 'em. This is especially odd in a place like San Diego, where fish tacos are almost the local currency.

Full disclosure: Watney, a botanist and a lower-level astronaut, is also Matt Damon's character in the new movie “The Martian,” and his diet is pretty much imposed on him as he fights to survive the burnt-orange planet's deadly climate. The movie, based on UCSD grad Andy Weir's debut novel, lives and dies by its sometimes outlandish improbabilities, and at 2 hours and 40 minutes, it's a tad long. But two things do stand out here: Melissa Lewis, Watney's commander, is played by Jessica Chastain, to whom I'll pledge my undying hand in marriage at the first opportunity; and the best fish tacos in the history of the universe are only steps away from the theater.

In fact, they're in the same building, now known popularly as The

Lot. Looming over the site at 7611 Fay Ave. some 17 months after the closure of iconic Jonathan's Market, the exterior is the picture of postmodern architecture – a bulky, officious entry whose squeaky-clean lines and pristine accessories somehow make you wonder what's going on inside. The answer becomes all too apparent at the very first encounter with staff.

Bottom line: Amid its craft cocktails, locally sourced coffee, exceptional cuisine and celebration of leisure, The Lot is absolutely everything everyone says.

And that says absolutely everything.

I was told that the personnel were expecting me for lunch, but I never thought I'd be the central figure in what amounted to a coronation.

Floor manager Robert and waiter Tyler could not have been more accommodating and knowledgeable, especially when it came to my meal preference (beer-battered fish tacos; what else?). Tyler's time as a kid in Hawaii fueled his savvy on the fare, and he said I'd picked the best possible white wine to pair with (New Zealand's Esk Valley Sauvignon Blanc). Meanwhile, I noted to my astonishment that every single

The Lot's postmodern look and accessories make you wonder what's inside.

taste of my fish and tomato-heavy salad was distinguishable from every other.

“That's what we want,” Tyler said with a nod and a thumbs-up. “That means the chef's done his job.”

The guy who did his job is Matt Sramek, late of Avant and the Rancho Bernardo Inn, who explained that plans for The Lot's second locale, at NTC's Luce Auditorium in Point Loma, will now see daylight

sometime in January. He added that ownership is also formulating efforts toward expansion into L.A. Even as Sramek spoke, Robert was planning a surprise in the form of a delicious little ceviche affair featuring octopus, which I'm normally crazy about anyway.

(Please be advised, however, that this dish is normally available only for dinner and that Sramek probably won't repeat his gesture for your

The Twin Study, NYC - 1960s Doing it Better

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. Reading some recent studies about identical twins triggered memories of a study led by Dr. Peter Neubauer in the 1950s and '60s while I was working as his assistant at the Child Development Center in New York City. Neubauer was a noted child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. He was a founding member of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry and a member of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. He died in February of 2008 at the age of 94.

What was unusual about the study was an intentional separation of identical twins for the purpose of research.

The purpose was to understand the impact of nature versus nurture, heredity versus the environment.

I was getting my master’s degree in clinical social work at Columbia University, and I was placed with an adoption agency doing home studies, working with the young women who were giving up their babies. We were also monitoring the success of the adoption by visiting the newly adoptive parents' homes.

Although I was not directly involved in Neubaur’s study, he often talked about it with me. I remember some of the examples of the research. There were originally 21 children (three of them identical triplets). They were given up for adoption and separated at birth. None of the parents knew of the other twin’s

existence.

Studies of twins separated at birth and reunited exist, but this is the only study that followed the infants from birth. The parents were told it was a development study. A team of psychiatrists, pediatricians and observers documented information through psychological tests, school records, parental interviews, films and minutes of nearly 1,000 weekly conferences.

Several children found each other through friends who knew one twin and recognized the uncanny similarity upon chancing on the other twin at some other location. Of the final 13 children involved in the study, three sets of twins and one set of triplets have discovered their siblings. There are still four people who don’t know they have an identical twin.

The biggest surprise from this research was that twins reared apart did not exhibit any more differences that those reared together. One reconnected set of twin girls found to their amazement that even though they had been raised a continent apart, they had the same favorite book, the same favorite music.

I have gathered a few highlights of the study that point toward the prevalence of DNA over preferences in behavior and life choices: 1. Both twins had a diaper rash within a day of each other. One pediatrician suggested changing the milk formula and the other suggested a different laundry soap, both babies got better at the same time.

2. One mother complained of her child’s poor eating habits — he would not eat unless there was ketchup on his food. When queried about the food habits of the other twin, that child’s mother kept saying there was no problem. When the researcher kept probing, she finally said all was well as long as she put ketchup on

At the Vancouver Aquarium, he conducted the first year-round sampling program of shore fish in British Columbia, which included several fish previously thought to be rare in British Columbia waters. Wilkie also spent two years as curator of mammals and fishes at the Philadelphia Aquarium. In 1965, he became director of the Scripps Aquarium-Museum, at the time located on the Scripps Institution of Oceanography campus.

Under Wilkie’s leadership, the aquarium was revitalized and a new education curriculum was developed. His duties included general administration, planning and designing exhibits, collecting aquarium specimens and developing education programs for schools and the public.

Wilkie was instrumental in the planning, fundraising and building of the Birch aquariummuseum, which opened in September of 1992.

The new facility, which now sits on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is four times larger than the Scripps Aquarium was.

Wilkie was a seasoned diver — his favorite spots included ice floes in Alaska, a South Seas dive spot in Palau, the Great Barrier Reef, Espiritu Santo in Baja California Sur, Mexico and more.

Wilkie is survived by his wife Pat, his brother Gordon Wilkie, his children Linda Hauck, Doug Wilkie and Susanne Fitzpatrick and stepson Jeff Bennett, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions in memory of Don Wilkie can be made to the Birch Aquarium Endowment Fund and the Price Philanthropies Ocean Science Education Fund. In particular, the Wilkie family wishes to support the postdoctoral fellowship component of the program, which prepares Scripps oceanography graduates to assume leadership roles in STEM education.

3. One little girl was very involved with ice skating and spent a lot of time in the rink. Her twin loved roller skating and did it as often as she could.

4. Each twin had an abscess in the same tooth a couple of days apart.

5. Two of the infants were placed in homes with very different mothers. One was an insecure, often neglectful mother, who was often neglectful, while the other was a confident, doting mother.

Surprisingly, both girls exhibited similar behaviors such as thumb sucking, nail biting, clinging to their blankets, wetting the bed until they were 4 and crying when left alone. They were both prone to nightmares and full of fears.

6. There is an interesting example of a young boy in his late teens repeatedly getting into trouble with the law. He ended up in jail, while, at the same age, his twin joined a religious sect, shaved his head and walked about in an orange robe begging on streetcorners. Although the specific behaviors were different, each chose an alternate lifestyle very much at odds with the mainstream.

This study was never published to protect the identities of the remaining twins. It is in the Yale University archives, not to be published until 2066.

This study could not be replicated today.

At the time, it felt like an opportunity for research to resolve the "nature versus nurture" controversy, and no harm was thought could come from separating the twins. In 1981, the state of New York began requiring adoption agencies to keep siblings together.

SeaWorld to challenge Coastal Commission's conditional approval

By DAVE SCHWAB A new “wrinkle” has developed in the contentious debate over SeaWorld’s plan to nearly double the size of its killer whale enclosure: the California Coastal Commission approved the expansion, but attached conditions that the theme park has deemed unacceptable.

Coastal Commission staff recommended the project be approved with the stipulation that SeaWorld cannot populate the pools with orcas caught in the wild, nor use genetic material from wild orcas to breed killer whales in captivity.

That decision led to SeaWorld’s subsequent announcement Oct. 15 that the company intends to pursue legal action against the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for “its overreaching condition that would

ban killer-whale breeding at SeaWorld San Diego.”

“Animal welfare is governed by federal and state laws that do not fall

within the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission's appointed board,” said Joel Manby, president and CEO of SeaWorld

Parks and Entertainment. "As a regulatory board charged with managing coastal development and related land-use decisions, the Coastal Commission went way beyond its jurisdiction and authority when it banned breeding by killer whales at SeaWorld. By imposing broad new jurisdiction over all future SeaWorld marine animal projects, as well as aquarium projects elsewhere in the state, the commission has overstepped both federal and California law."

"It simply defies common sense that a straightforward land-use permit approval would turn into a ban on animal husbandry practices – an area in which the commissioners have no education, training or expertise,” added Manby. “To say that this is a dubious decision with no legal basis is an understatement,

UCHS running back Tomo Pollard and the art of sports Tomo Pollard gains part of his inspiration from art. “It gets me in a zone,” the 5’11”, 180-pound running back and cornerback from University City High School says. “Once I start working on a piece of art, it’s hard for me to stop. I want to finish it.”

Pollard, in his fourth year in Delia Martin’s art program at UCHS, used acrylic to paint a trio of flowers that Martin chose, among other students’ pieces, to show at the San Diego County Fair last June. He would like to continue his painting in his college years, hopefully while playing football for a major college program, “when I get bored.”

Describing his method in creating art, Tomo says, “If I’m painting a rose, everything in my thought process has to do

But not every school has a foundation, and few of those that do have the cash to have air-conditioning units installed immediately.

It’s an issue that has come up before, and one that Bill Ponder, who serves on the school district’s bond oversight committee, said raises a broader concern.

“This gets into a much deeper issue, a troubling question about how the school board is creating disparities between students,” Ponder said.

About seven years ago, when schools across the district had to slash budgets and say goodbye to teachers, school foundations in La Jolla were able to raise enough private funds to hold their staff.

School foundations are meant to pay for extras at school, like playground equipment, but over the years, private funding evolved into a kind of budget staple.

with it. I see a rose (in a picture); I think of patterns I can add to it, things I can put in it.” The senior, who addresses an interviewer as “sir” and makes eye contact, comes off as thoughtful and under control.

For the first two football games this season, Pollard wasn’t inserted on offense in Coach Ryan Price’s program. He focused his energy on his cornerback position on defense.

In week three, he carried the ball once on offense for seven yards. Then, in week four, in a 59-0 rout of San Ysidro at home, the 17-year-old gained 104 yards rushing on only a pair of carries.

After a bye week, the fleet back not only rushed for 78 yards on an economical three carries in UC’s game at Francis

taken a hands-off approach when it comes to foundations. In fact, school board member John Lee Evans said we need to encourage more parents and community members to support foundations.

McQuary agrees.

“The sad part is, we’ve got to do it this way,” he said. “We need reach out to community providers until the state can provide the basic services that our schools need.”

But San Diegans have already agreed to tax hikes that could help solve this problem. Construction bonds have paid for air conditioning in some of the district’s hottest classrooms, but under the current plan, schools near the coast aren’t scheduled for AC. And there have been other priorities for some of that money, like new athletic facilities.

Parker, he also ran back a kickoff in the second half 90 yards for a touchdown.

The navy-Columbia-and-white won that contest, 56-14.

The Centurions (6-1 overall) are in a heady position leading into Central League competition, having defeated Bishop’s 20-19 on Oct. 16.

Pollard’s economy of rushing attempts while producing yardage carries over into his brush strokes. In a regular class period, he’s got only 58 minutes to break out his materials, get into his “zone” and begin painting before putting everything away again. Yet he says he generally finishes a subject in “two to three weeks,” despite, he laughs, arriving late some-

Ponder said district officials will meet in the next few days to discuss expanding that plan to include more schools.

Those who support foundations, including McQuary, point out that schools in low-income neighborhoods get additional state and federal funding to support their students.

But those funds are tied to specific programs. Schools face a lot fewer restrictions on how they spend foundation dollars. Then there are schools in middle-class areas, which don’t get much foundation money or federal funding for low-income students.

The biggest question – one that’s difficult to answer – is whether foundations worsen the already existing disparities between the haves and have-nots.

McQuary said they don’t. Sort of.

“I wouldn’t say they worsen the inequity. I’d say it highlights the need to provide equity,” he said.

which is why we must and will challenge the commission's decision."

SeaWorld plans to nearly double its orca enclosure from 5.8 million gallons to 9.6 million gallons for a new exhibit called the Blue World Project. The expansion includes pools 50 feet deep that contain spots where the killer whales can rub and scratch themselves, according to SeaWorld.

But People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which considers keeping orcas in captivity as tantamount to slavery and animal cruelty, had a different take on the CCC’s decision.

"The CCC did right by orcas in requiring, as a condition of approval for the Blue World Project, that SeaWorld stop breeding them, which

Privo described the incident as “a fairly short event” because two bystanders heard the victim’s screams and their intervention caused Moore to run away. Moore told the two bystanders that she was his girlfriend, but she screamed that wasn’t true.

Moore told the judge he took responsibility for committing “a stupid mistake in my life.” The prosecutor took issue with the word “mistake,” saying it was much more.

The jury convicted Moore June 9 of kidnapping for rape (which carries the life term), four counts of assault involving choking the victim and assault with intent to commit rape.

Valentine ordered Moore to register as a sex offender for life.

He was given credit for spending 384 days in jail and fined nearly $11,000.

He was arrested Nov. 17, 2014, after DNA on the victim matched his. The probation report described several prior incidents in 2013 and 2014 in which his DNA may have been taken by authorities.

In 2013, Moore disrupted classes at Mesa College while he was drinking heavily and was pepper sprayed when he battered an officer. In 2014, he asked lewd questions to a female student.

Songa Designs' beautiful accessories are the natural choice Fashion Files

Diana Cavagnaro

Songa Designs International was co-founded by San Diegans Sarah Sternberg and Ellie Kates in 2011. This beautiful accessory line is sparked by nature, featuring the use of eco-friendly materials. The firm was recently featured in Accessories magazine as the Item of the Day. The jewelry is inspired by traditional African culture and is designed here in the U.S. Then, each piece is handmade by artisans in Rwanda. This gives the women involved in the manufacture a chance for economic independence.

Songa means “the path forward” in Swahili.

Sternberg said she originally was in commercial real estate and working for her MBA when everything changed in the economy in

2008. She decided to try something different and volunteered for a nonprofit in East Africa for 15 months. This is where she met Kates, after which the women decided to start this business.

The Zaza necklace, left, is fabricated from the sisal leaf and upcycled fabric. This necklace is big and bold and the perfect statement piece. The Saba necklace is made from recycled paper beads and glass seed beads. The Bella Bling bracelet is made from hand-woven banana leaf, sisal leaf and natural stones.

The Tasara pendant and the Lekayla earrings are made with repurposed cowhorn and recycled paper beads to create a gorgeous look. The stunning Diva necklace comes in black and fuchsia, with beads made from upcycled fabric and recycled paper.

All are examples of the ONE Collection, a combination of forgotten jewelry and indigenous materials.

Beach will devote himself to a career as a theater and development consultant. He will continue to reside in La Jolla with his partner Wesley and, according to a recent email, will remain with the music society on a part-time basis to complete the design and construction of the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center.

Lancino takes charge of the music society, definitely on the brink of change and growth what with its new concert hall, The Conrad (named for principal donor Conrad Prebys), set to open January of 2018 on the site across the street from the former Jonathan’s market.

Lancino’s expertise includes arts management, artistic administration and operations. She has enjoyed a three-decade career in the performing arts, holding executive positions with such organizations as IMG Artists, G. Schirmer and Carnegie Hall. Lancino also served as interim artistic director

for New York's Chamber Music of Lincoln Center.

La Jolla Music Society SummerFest Artistic Director Cho-Liang Lin, who worked with Lancino while she was engaged in the above, is looking forward with excitement to working with her again. As for Lancino, she said, “Leading this dynamic arts organization is an opportunity for me to draw from my diverse experiences to maintain its continued success.”

It's a cinch the dart board at rural Ireland's The Weir pub hasn't seen action since Beelzebub was probably 3. In fact, the whole place is hosting a dust-bunny picnic as we speak, and regulars Jack, Jim and Finbar top the guest list. The Weir isn't so much a tavern as a dusky little clubhouse, with the first-string patrons gulping away lost hours over a sea of “small ones.”

ghostly tales are as tall (and sometimes as unpleasant) as the legendary things that go bump in the night.

Two items about Conor McPherson's eponymous play, currently up at Carlsbad's New Village Arts, leave a lot for discussion: These wellmeaning blokes, including Weir owner Brendan, are joined at the hip, and their stories' supernatural color reflects the paper-thin veil between life and death (not unlike

ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN Celebrate Dia De Los Muertos at Fiesta De Reyes This Year Old Town San Diego's Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is held each year on November 1 and 2 and is a community-wide celebration of the history, Hispanic culture and rich heritage of the region. It is at this time of year that the spirits of loved ones who have died are thought to return to Earth to celebrate with friends and family.

As is the custom every year, the Fiesta de Reyes courtyard in Old Town will be full of fanciful, humorous, and visually stimulating décor, offered as tributes to many of San Diego’s early citizens. Many life-

sized Catrina skeleton dolls in fancy dress, and some greater than life size, hold court at Fiesta de Reyes throughout the fall season.

Lively folklorico dancers, dressed in Dia de los Muertos costumes, will be performing on the Fiesta de Reyes stage throughout the weekend, starting on Saturday, October 31, and extending through Monday, November 2. Artistic face painters will also be on hand all three days to help you celebrate the event in style.

Visit the many altars at Fiesta de Reyes, presented in both tradition-

al and contemporary ways, including an altar at the new Casita Verde home and garden shop dedicated to celebrating the loved ones of Fiesta de Reyes employees. At Tienda de Reyes, one can find the largest selection of Dia de los Muertos merchandise in all of San Diego.

The shop will be hosting face-painting artists all three days and will also be hosting demonstrations by two local Dia de Los Muertos artists in the store on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

The activities start at 11 a.m. and go until 11 p.m. on Sunday and

until 10 p.m. on Monday. Free parking is available throughout Old Town with extra parking available across Taylor Street in the CalTrans parking lot all day on weekend days and after 3 p.m. on weekdays.

Fiesta de Reyes is located at Juan and Calhoun streets, a one-block stroll from the Old Town Trolley Station. In addition to the Casa de Reyes restaurant and Barra Barra Saloon, the plaza boasts 19 specialty shops. For information call (619) 297-3100 or visit www.fiestadereyes.com/ddlm.

Soon enough, it's curtain time, and the break offers a chance to reflect on the centuries-old connection among food, drink and theater. Hey, maybe that's the draw to a venue like The Lot – perhaps the place is a 21st-century retake on the Dionysian pairing between storytelling and the high-end cuisinery that goes with it. Gone are the old clay tables and rostrums that dotted the Ancient Greek parlors and pubs; in their place, you get state-of-the-art audiovisuals, which in the case of “The Martian” are peppered with surprisingly appropriate bumper music like Donna Summer's “Hot Stuff,” David Bowie's “Starman” and ABBA's “Waterloo” and were filmed in Jordan and Hungary. A rich man's “Apollo 13,” this film is, with Ridley Scott's aging but accurate directorial hand evident throughout.

The venue boasts seven largescreen theaters with outstandingly good acoustics and seats for 55 to 70 each. Yes, the seats recline; yes, they come with built-in footrests; yes, they're covered in leather; and yes, they flank call buttons should the munchies declare themselves. Maybe one of the coolest touches of all: No wastebaskets in the men's room (probably the women's too), only wood-lined receptacles on the tops of the sinks. How Lot it all is!

your comfort, like all the others.

The difference is that, like Damon, I'm a total damn star.)

But enough about “The Martian,” which you'll see in due time. The important thing is it's playing at what could easily become a pivotal community resource. I hope CEO/La Jolla resident Adolfo Fastlicht and his crew see the possibilities for a gigantic draw here – like the tens of thousands who gather at UCSD (probably three miles away) for medical meetings, educational conclaves, architectural seminars and everything else. The Lot could become the region's focal point for such conferences and more, fueling an especially robust coffer for the rest of us.

Until then, The Lot is indeed living up to its tagline, “Where the Neighborhood Comes to Play.”

Reports of repeat business and a deluge of good wishes support this – and if it keeps up, Jessica and I just might have to host our rehearsal dinner and reception here. I may be the star, but out of question, she's the rest of the galaxy.

A cornerstone business on this block is Erling Rohde Plumbing Company/art gallery, at 5763 La Jolla Blvd. Owner Michael Glancy noted the establishment, which started in 1910, may be the longestrun family-owned business in La Jolla. The company has been operated for the last 30 years by the grandson of the founder, Michael Glancy.

Mike returned from Vietnam in the '70s and decided to seize the opportunity to work in a “good trade.”

Diamonds on the Rock, at 5630 La Jolla Blvd., is the place to shop for that special “stone” for all occasions.

“I developed a passion for gemology watching my father and uncles’ enthusiasm for gems,” said Debra Levine, whose grandfather established the family's first jewelry store 95 years ago in Endicott, N.Y. In 1986, Debra moved to California to attend the Gemological Institute of America, where she obtained her graduate gemologist diploma.

She was then selected to work at the institute as a diamond grader in its lab. Her desire to work more closely with people led her to transfer to the education division, where she continued her career as a diamond instructor.

In 1990, she moved to San Diego, where she became a partner in a diamond wholesale company. She chose to open a store in Bird Rock because, she said, “it has the intimate feeling of a small community” and is reminiscent of her hometown.

Debra is joined by son David at her new Bird Rock location, which offers “that personal touch in selecting the perfect engagement ring, designing

custom jewelry or repairing your jewelry.”

Beads of La Jolla, at 5645 La Jolla Blvd., is one of several artsycrafts businesses around this block.

“With 1,200 square feet of stones, glass, porcelain, shell, vintage German, Fire polish, druks, seed beads and tools, Beads of La Jolla is the goto place for anyone with an interest in beading,” said the store in promotional materials. “Expert-level customers will find everything they need to make their visions a reality, including a large selection of Sterling, gold and base metal findings and chain.

Get the long beautiful hair you have always dreamed about

of Hearing Loss

When a woman wants long hair, it can be very disheartening to accept the fact that not all hair grows the same way. For many women, no matter how hard they try, their hair simply doesn’t seem to grow past a certain length. Or, maybe it gets longer, but it also starts to thin out and appear stringy.

Hair extensions are an innovative solution that allows women to have the hair they’ve always wanted. However, when considering hair extensions, it’s important to not only understand the product, but to also be familiar with the stylist who will be performing this service and his or her qualifications.

At Hair Sensations it all starts with a free consultation with Fanchoise, she will listen to your desires, evaluate your hair for optimum results, and talk about color, length, care, and any questions you may have.

Fanchoise has over 30 years of experience with hair, and has been certified in several Great Length® techniques.

If you’re ready to transform your image and your life, you can call 858.456.8647 or visit hairsensations.com

NOTICE OF INTENT TO CIRCULATE PETITION Notice is hereby given of the intention of the persons whose names appear hereon to circulate a petition within the City of San Diego for the purpose of protecting the City’s existing and future facilities and infrastructure – including facilities like the Qualcomm Stadium site in Mission Valley and the Downtown San Diego Waterfront, as well as general infrastructure like streets and sidewalks – from the shortterm and long-term impacts of tourism caused by the lack of a comprehensive, integrated planning and financing mechanism. The petition seeks to require tourists and the businesses benefitting from tourism to pay their fair share of the costs to develop, maintain, and enhance existing and new facilities and infrastructure in an economically sustainable and environmentally responsible manner; and for the closely related purpose of improving transparency and accountability in the city’s planning, financing, managing, and sales and marketing process for tourism-related facilities and infrastructure. Implementing these measures is necessary to ensure that such facilities and infrastructure can be used and enjoyed by tourists and the City’s residents alike in the near and distant future.

comply with any and all mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements that would be required under the California Environmental Quality Act in the same manner and to the same extent as a project that is not exempt from environmental review under the Act. The mitigation measures shall include, at a minimum, all of the following: (1) Construction that satisfies the Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) silver standard as of the effective date of this section, or the standard’s equivalent if approved by the U.S. Green Building Council, and a plan to reduce vehicle miles traveled to the project that includes incentives for the use of public transit.

(2) Compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local rules and regulations governing historical resources.

(3) The proponent or proponents of any project authorized by this section shall make to the San Diego Unified Port District a one-time payment of $15 million no later than one year after the issuance of any certificate of occupancy for the project, in exchange for the Port District’s binding legal commitment to match that payment with $35 million over a 30-year period. At least 90% of the total $50 million in funds shall be used exclusively for the development, design, entitlement, and construction of public park and recreational facilities to be included in Phase 2 of the Port District’s North Embarcadero Visionary Plan, and up to 10% of the total funds shall be used exclusively to enhance public access and activate public uses along the Downtown San Diego Waterfront adjacent to the San Diego Convention Center. The funds may not be used for any purpose not expressly authorized by this paragraph, and in particular may not be used to satisfy any of the Port District’s obligations under Section 1 of that certain Memorandum of Understanding commonly known as Port District Document No. 57019 filed in the Office of the District Clerk on November 15, 2010, except that up to one-half of the proceeds may be used to acquire the real property described in Section 1(C) of the Memorandum of Understanding.

purchased by the San Diego Unified Port District for the purpose of accommodating a future expansion of the San Diego Convention Center. Nothing in this section is intended to diminish the parking rights subsequently acquired by the San Diego Padres on Tailgate Park. §61.2805 Protection of Open Space, Public Access, and Other Tourism-Related and Tourist-Frequented Facilities on Waterfront (a) The City has no legal authority to, and therefore shall not, seek the approval of, operate, lease, own, loan money to or for, financially support, or otherwise directly or indirectly participate, whether through a joint powers authority or otherwise, in any form of acquisition, development, design, entitlement, construction, operation, or maintenance of any structure, facility, infrastructure, or use in the coastal zone that in any way comprises or is intended to comprise an extension, expansion, annex or other component or portion of the San Diego Convention Center beyond the physical footprint of the Convention Center structure as it existed at 111 West Harbor Drive in the City of San Diego immediately prior to the California Coastal Commission’s approval of San Diego Unified Port District’s Port Master Plan Amendment No. 6-PSD-MAJ-45-13 (Port District Master Plan Amendment no. 45) on October 10, 2013. (b) Nothing in sub-section (a) of this section is intended to apply to any structure, facility, infrastructure, or use in the coastal zone that is not contiguous to the San Diego Convention Center as described in sub-section (a) or that is not authorized by the Port Master Plan Amendment identified in sub-section (a); or intended to apply to the City’s liability for deferred maintenance of the existing Convention Center as of the effective date of this section. (c) Nothing in this Division prevents the City from seeking the qualified electors’ approval of a future expansion of the San Diego Convention Center in the coastal zone.

Except as otherwise required by sub-section (c), any project described in sub-sections (b)(1)-(3) of this section shall be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. (e) The City shall provide the public with an opportunity to review and comment on any proposed mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements under sub-sections (c) and (d) of this section and shall adopt the requirements at a public hearing noticed in accordance with the Land Development Code’s requirements for Process Five decisions. (f) Nothing in this Division affects any vested rights.

The transfer instruments, including all required restrictions and covenants, shall be made available for public inspection at least 30 days prior to their execution by the City.

At a minimum, the restrictions and covenants shall ensure the following: (i) The portion of the site (approximately 28 acres) proximate to the San Diego River and bordered generally on the north by the elevated trolley line shall be reserved exclusively in perpetuity for restoration of that segment of the River in accordance with the San Diego River Conservancy’s Strategic Plan Update 2012-2017 and other planning documents applicable to the Conservancy. A portion of the site in reasonable proximity to the existing trolley station on the site shall also be reserved exclusively and in perpetuity for and developed as an Urban Rivers Scientific Interpretive Center, to be operated by the Qualified Recipient as a center for eco-tourism, teaching, public education, and scientific research, including the monitoring of the River from its source to the Pacific Ocean.

Zone that received any land-use approval before this Division takes effect.

It is the sense of the qualified electors that the highest and best use of land within the Overlay Zone is an off-waterfront expansion of the San Diego Convention Center. (b) Any Operator of a Hotel who pays an assessment to the Downtown Tourism-Financed Improvement District created in accordance with the requirements of Section 61.2802 may, in the Operator’s sole discretion, deduct from the Transient Occupancy Tax remitted to the City by the Operator pursuant to Division 1 of Article 5 of Chapter 3 of this Municipal Code a portion of the assessment paid by the Operator to the district, subject to all of the following procedures and limitations: (1) The deduction from the Transient Occupancy Tax remittance may be taken no sooner than when the Operator remits its assessment for the district and only to the extent of the assessment amount being paid with the remittance.

Rent during the remittance period is $100 for an Operator of a Hotel with at least 30 rooms, the deduction ceiling described in this sub-section would be represented by the following formula: $100 * 0.02 = $2.

As a further example, assuming that the total Rent during the remittance period is $100 for an Operator of a Hotel with less than 30 rooms, the deduction ceiling described in this sub-section would be represented by the following formula: $100 * 0.0055 = $0.55. (e) Sub-sections (b)-(d) of this section shall have no force or effect while Section 35.0128(a) of this Municipal Code remains in force and effect. §61.2808 Governance of Tourism Sales and Marketing and Convention Center Bookings; Withdrawal of Authority to Outsource Governance and Bookings; Alternative Financing for Off-Waterfront Convention Center Expansion (a) In order to maximize the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax revenues, as well as optimize the planning and budgeting process for tourism-related facilities and infrastructure, it is the sense of the qualified electors that the City shall take all reasonable steps to consolidate City-wide tourism and San Diego Convention Center management, sales and marketing, and bookings.

(2) Regardless of how frequently an Operator remits Transient Occupancy Tax, under no circumstances may the deduction from any remittance exceed the total amount of the assessment actually paid by the Operator during the remittance period or the deduction ceiling for that period, whichever is less. As used in this subsection (b)(2), “deduction ceiling” means the product of the total Rent subject to Transient Occupancy Tax during the remittance (b) The City may enter into a management agreement with a private contractor to period multiplied by 2%. manage and oversee the operations and For example, assuming that the total maintenance of the San Diego Convention Rent during the remittance period is Center, including any related facility out$100, the deduction ceiling described in side the coastal zone. Any such agreement this sub-section would be represented by shall be subject to the following procedures the following formula: $100 * 0.02 = $2. and limitations: (c) Any Operator of a Hotel who pays an assessment to the Suburban Tourism-Financed Improvement District created in accordance with the requirements of Section 61.2802 may, in the Operator’s sole discretion, deduct from the Transient Occupancy Tax remitted to the City by the Operator pursuant to Division 1 of Article 5 of Chapter 3 of this Municipal Code a portion of the assessment paid by the Operator to the district, subject to all of the following procedures and limitations: (1)The deduction from the Transient Occupancy Tax remittance may be taken no sooner than when the Operator remits its assessment for the district and only to the extent of the assessment amount being paid with the remittance.

(2) Regardless of how frequently an Operator remits Transient Occupancy Tax, under no circumstances may the deduction from any remittance exceed the total amount of the assessment actually paid by the Operator during the remittance period or the deduction ceiling for that period, whichever is less. As used in this subsection (c)(2), “deduction ceiling” means the product of the total Rent subject to Transient Occupancy Tax during the remittance period multiplied by the actual rate of assessment up to 2%.

For example, assuming that the total Rent during the remittance period is $100, and that the actual rate of assessment is 1.5%, the deduction ceiling described in this sub-section would be represented by the following formula: $100 * 0.015 = $1.50.

(3) The other provisions of this sub-section (c) notwithstanding, no deduction may be taken if the Operator is not being assessed by the district (i) at the rate of not more than 0.25% for the maintenance, repair, restoration, or remodeling of the San Diego Convention Center within its existing physical footprint in the coastal zone; and (ii) at the additional rate of at least 0.25% for the acquisition, development, design, entitlement, construction, operation, and maintenance of the structures, facilities, infrastructure, and uses necessary for an expansion of the San Diego Convention Center in the Overlay Zone.

(1) The management agreement shall give the contractor responsibility for all shortterm and long-term bookings at the Convention Center and any related facility under the City’s control immediately prior to the making of the agreement.

(2) The management agreement shall require the contractor to assume all liabilities, debts, and other contractual obligations, and other obligations of the City, the San Diego Convention Center Corporation, and the Convention Center Expansion Financing Authority in existence at the time the agreement between the City and the contractor is made, including but not limited to deferred maintenance and current maintenance, labor and employment agreements, booking commitments, and lease agreements; except that the contractor need not assume, and the City shall retain, the City’s debt-service obligations under any indentures and related contractual obligations for bonded indebtedness related to the Convention Center. Except as expressly permitted in the preceding sentence, the contractor may not assume less than all such liabilities, debts, contractual obligations, and other obligations. Prior to the City’s approval of the management agreement, the contractor shall submit a detailed written plan specifying how and when each assumed obligation will be satisfied. The plan shall ensure that all obligations that were not satisfied by the City prior to its approval of the management agreement, and all obligations that must be satisfied by the City during the term of the management agreement but are being assumed by the contractor, are satisfied by the contractor in a timely manner and in any event no later than the end of the term of the management agreement. Not more than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the contractor, the contractor’s chief executive officer or president shall certify under penalty of perjury that the contractor satisfied all obligations that were required to be satisfied according to the plan during the ended fiscal year. The annual certification shall include the information required by sub-sections (b)(11)(i)-(ii) of this section. The City shall not make any payment to the contractor, including any reimbursement, more than 90 days after the end of the contractor’s fiscal year unless and until the City receives the certification required by this sub-section.

(3) The City may not compensate the contractor or provide any direct or indirect financial support of any kind to the contractor in connection with the management agreement, except as expressly authorized by sub-section (b)(4) of this section.

The contractor may hire a fee-forservice manager to carry out the contractor’s obligations under the management agreement, at no cost to the City. The contractor’s decision to hire such a manager shall not relieve the contractor of its obligations to ensure the performance required by the management agreement with the City, or change the nature of the relationship between the City and the contractor under the agreement.

(4) The City, the contractor, or both may enter into any other agreement with any third party for the purpose of generating assessments or other revenues that can be used by the contractor to promote the City as a tourist destination or to compensate the contractor for its services under the management agreement with the City, provided that there is no cost to the City beyond that authorized by sub-section (b)(3) of this section.

VI. Defending the Ordinance In the event that the City declines to defend or declines to appeal an adverse judgment against the Ordinance, it is the intent of the People of the City of San Diego to grant formal legal authority to the Ordinance’s proponents or any of their designees to defend this Ordinance, either by intervening in or by defending the Ordinance on behalf of the People and the City in a legal proceeding, because the proponents of this Ordinance have a direct and personal stake in defending this Ordinance.

No action to challenge the validity of any portion of this Ordinance shall be maintained unless such action is commenced within 30 days after the Ordinance takes effect. In the event of such a challenge, the summons and complaint shall be personally served on the City and on the proponents of this Ordinance not more than 10 days after the challenge is commenced. The court shall dismiss any challenge that is not commenced, or for which the summons and complaint are not served, as prescribed in this paragraph.

STATEMENT OF REASONS Tourism is a big part of San Diego’s identity – the product of our location, weather, and international image. Critically important to our economy and our life style, it only requires from us the delivery of first class-facilities necessary to accommodate visitors who demand beautiful venues and the very best of experiences.

Tourism both benefits from and impacts San Diego’s infrastructure. The health of each is inextricably linked.

But our tourism-related and -impacted facilities and infrastructure have become rundown and are failing from lack of vision and years of neglect. This is the result of there being no single, coordinated mechanism to handle the necessary planning, financing, management, and sales and marketing of these public assets.

Our City’s tourist tax is far below its competitive market average, contributing to a roughly $1.7 billion facilities infrastructure deficit throughout the City.

No action to challenge the validity of any portion of this Division shall be maintained unless such action is commenced within 30 days after the Division takes effect. When businesses and visitors pay their fair share to keep up public assets, we all benIII. Effective Date; Amendment efit.

A recent report found that our competing cities’ tourism tax rates are much higher than the City’s rate: Anaheim 17%, Seattle 16.5%, San Francisco 16.25%, and Los Angeles 15.5%. San Diego is at 10.5% – at least 45% behind – and that adds up to delayed repairs, declines in public maintenance, the postponing of new attractions and venues, and the loss of world admiration. We cannot allow that to continue.

Along with fair-share funding, we also need a better approach to oversight of these issues, and our valuable tourist assets, so our problems do not repeat themselves.

Requiring tourists and tourism businesses to “Pay Their Own Way” is a sensible, unified way to manage our tourism economy in a financially and environmentally responsible manner.

SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER GROUP | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2015 | SDNEWS.COM

Leaves and flowers fuel begonias' beauty If you are looking for an easy-togrow flowering plant that will reward you with flowers yearround, Begonia richmondensis is a great choice. Known for its attractive waxy angel-wing leaves as much as for its never-ending supply of charming flowers, Begonia richmondensis is more commonly known as the sun, shrub or Richmond begonia.

In our mild coastal climate, this hearty perennial will bloom yearround, and the amount of sunshine it receives will dictate the colors of its leaves and flowers. It can be grown in full sun along the coast, and more sun will create plants with bronzy leaves and reddish-salmon flowers.

When grown in a shady environment with filtered sunlight, the leaves tend to be silvery-green and the flowers a more delicate shade of pink. Also, a white variety, Alba, should be grown in the shade to keep its delicate color intact.

These robust plants grow to about a 2'-by-2' plant in size and can be grown in the garden as well as in containers. They prefer well-drained soil and need to be kept moist. If you let them dry out, their appearance will be affected in a negative way.

Feed them about once a month with a balanced fertilizer (I use Eleanor's VF-11). A couple times a year, pinch back the branches and shape them so they do not become too leggy. You can also shape these begonias into hanging basket arrangements.

Even though they are perennials, after about three or four years of nonstop blooming, they will need to be replaced. To keep a continuous supply in your garden, you can propagate them from leaf cuttings.

1) Fill small pots or empty flower 6packs with a "growing" medium (potting soil with peat moss and pealite mixed in). 2) Cut a leaf off your plant and slit the stem section open with a sharp knife. 3) Insert the stem end into the growing medium; place the pots in a warm, sunny place and keep the soil moist. After a few weeks, the leaf cuttings will begin to sprout roots, and as more leaves appear, you can transplant them into larger containers.

ing (the yarn about windows rattling at the house one of the characters rents is pretty good), their tellers are absolutely not. Count the seconds between sentence fragments. The intervals between each and every utterance are virtually the same, even as the characters insist on remaining seated almost throughout, leaving very few clues as to their unique affectations or roles in life.

These people aren't portrayed so much as stenciled. And that's even stranger than their speeches.

The language and comportment clean up (a little) with the arrival of Valerie, a young Dublin woman Finbar brings by (we're not told why he's her escort); it turns out she's renting a house not far from the tav. The guys' creepy stories are no match for Valerie's, which tragically involves a child and implies Valerie has had actual contact with spirits. From there, the men are supremely deferential, with Jack telling his own story of personal loss.

We get inklings of understories from time to time – but beyond that, the action almost resembles a staged reading, with virtually no thought to the subtext or to the characters' greater raisons d'être. One speech unceremoniously picks up where one leaves off, replete with holes the size of the the-

ater. The bar's dowdy condition gets short shrift as well, with nary a character using the stage as a tool for character development.

Samantha Ginn and Ron Choularton play Valerie and Jack; both are exceedingly smart and nimble performers and here are well-cast. Finbar hasn't gone so far uptown as to abandon his lads, and Tom Stephenson portrays him accordingly. Jim (Tom Deak) and Brendan (Max Macke) have kind of an agreeable washed-out quality, with Deak's portrayal the best of the show.

Kelly Kissinger's set and Chris Renda's lights are persistently and appropriately one-note – but that monotony isn't meant to extend to the characters, and certainly not to the direction. Director Kristianne Kurner is one of the better voices in area theater, and I haven't forgotten her superb performance as the seething Kate Mundy in NVA's “Dancing at Lughnasa,” from 2008.

But “The Weir” represents a dramatic departure in tone and her directorial values that shape it. If you're looking for a piece on life's breathtaking serendipites, an afternoon with “The Bridge of San Luis Rey” is the far better option, with or without a small one in hand.

“The Weir” runs through Nov. 1 at New Village Arts, 2787 State St. in Carlsbad. $32-$35. (760) 433-3245, newvillagearts.org.

times. “Miss Martin comes over and tells me to put my things away” if he dawdles at the end of the period in wrapping things up before his next class.

Besides Martin’s tutelage in the fine art, Tomo receives inspiration for sports from his big brother, Royce, 25, who starred at UCHS from 2005 to 2007, played wide receiver at the University of Hawaii then signed with the New York Jets in the NFL before being injured. “In the offseason, he works me out, trains me, motivates me to be better than I am,” says Pollard.

Royce tells his rapidly developing baby brother, “Go get yours.” Tomo expands on what his brother means by that phrase: “Work hard enough, put in the time, see you reach your goals.”

Pollard doesn’t hesitate to name his brother as the big influence in his life. He’s also blossoming under Price’s leadership. Tomo has bought into his coach’s all-for-one, one-for-all mentality.

He doesn’t just play his positions on defense, offense and special teams. “I like to promote encouragement on the playing field,” is the way he puts it. “I let (my teammates) know if they made a good play. I give them props.”

After 204 all-purpose yards in the win over Parker, with a whopping 31.5 yards per carry on offense after only three games at running back, Pollard has big dreams in football. He says he would like to play at Hawaii, like his brother, or Utah, “though they haven’t recruited me yet.” He hasn’t caught a pass yet, but the sky could be the limit after his quick progress running the ball.

will ultimately end captivity for long-suffering orcas in California," said PETA spokesman David Perle in a statement released after the vote.

Perle and PETA contend that the CCC oversees development along the coast, and that therefore “SeaWorld falls under its bailiwick because it is along San Diego's bayfront.”

Arguing the expansion of SeaWorld's killer whale habitat is “the biggest issue the Coastal Commission has faced in its 40 years,” Perle pointed out.

The commission received some 200,000 emails and 50,000 letters prior to its vote on the Blue Planet Project. The magnitude of the public’s interest consequently caused CCC to move its regularly scheduled meeting from Long Beach City Hall to the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center to accommodate the crowd. Every one of the 500 seats was taken, and an overflow crowd of about 150 people stood outside.

PETA has challenged the ethics of keeping killer whales captive and profiting from their alleged commercial exploitation in public shows, brought to a flashpoint by the critical documentary “Blackfish.”

Two years ago, Point Loma High theater students reacted to it with a public-service announcement calling for SeaWorld to eliminate orca show performances.

residences and businesses anywhere in La Jolla.” Haskins said he hoped candidates in the debate would “share their vision” for improving the community.

After introducing themselves in opening remarks, Bry and Ellis stressed their business acumens and backgrounds.

LaCava positioned himself as the political “insider” with the experience and know-how downtown.

“I’ve been an entrepreneur, a journalist, a teacher, a wife, a mom, a community volunteer and a grandma,” said Bry, an entrepreneur in the for-profit and nonprofit sectors who co-founded ProFlowers.com and is currently COO of Blackbird Ventures, which invests in early-stage technology companies.

“I am running because I love our community and want to help make it safe, clean and prosperous.”

“I came to San Diego in 1987, raised a family and started a business with every nickel I had that had 15 employees and has since grown to 180,” said Ellis, founder, CEO and principal shareholder of MC Direct, one of the largest full-service direct response agencies on the West Coast.

“I am a nonpartisan problem-solver who wants to bring common-sense reform.”

“I’ve spent the last 10 years working on community planning in La Jolla and citywide,” said LaCava, an San Diego State University grad and a civil engineer who’s served on 26 committees and boards, including the San Diego Community Planners Committee, overseeing the city’s 42

planning groups. “What I can tell you is that promises made by past council members — I’m going to deliver for you.”

All three candidates fielded numerous questions from citizens and from forum co-sponsors, the San Diego Police Officers Association and La Jolla Light.

The candidates weighed in on the hot-button issue of Short Term Vacation Rentals (STVRs).

“I believe STVRS should be in two different categories — homesharing, where the owner is in the home, which is OK, and businesses renting out whole houses,” LaCava said.

“People shouldn’t have to live next to mini-hotels in single-family neighborhoods. I can support home sharing but am opposed to whole-house rentals.”

“I oppose STVRs in single-family neighborhoods because that takes housing away from permanent residents, and it destroys the character of the neighborhood,” said Bry. “We don’t need businesses adjacent to neighbors making them feel like they’re next door to the La Jolla Marriott.” ”We need to get rid of the bad actors who’ve been operating STVRs and toughen existing laws to provide more enforcement,” said Ellis. “This is a quality-of-life issue in our neighborhoods. We have to crack down on the investor types who are moving in just trying to make a buck.”

All three candidates had divergent

takes on the long-simmering issue of shared use between humans and seals at Children’s Pool.

“There is a plan in place now that appears to be working,” said Ellis.

“That issue has not bubbled up in my interaction with neighbors in the community. I would vote to leave it the way it is right now.”

“Shared use doesn’t work; too many visitors here for the first time don’t know the rules (about staying away) from the animals and (consequently) having to be chased away,” said LaCava. “I’m no longer in support of shared use.”

“I support the Coastal Commission ruling having the beach off limits (to people) during pupping season,” said Bry. “We’ve put enough attention into this issue. There are more important things in La Jolla to talk about.”

All three candidates iterated their campaign platforms during closing remarks.

“I’ve already been working for you for the past 10 years down at the city,” said LaCava. “If you support me to do this as a full-time job, I will work for you as a councilmember.”

“I have a proven track record (of accomplishment),” said Ellis. “I promise to have a nonpartisan, problem-solving approach. I hope to have your vote.”

“As an entrepreneur, I’ve been able to develop numerous (economic development) programs and initiatives,” said Bry. “I would bring that to City Hall.”

Convention center chief to retire Carol Wallace, president and CEO of the San Diego Convention Center Corporation, announced Oct. 21 her retirement from the post effective Dec. 31.

Wallace will serve as a consultant to the corporation through 2016.
