High bacteria levels, persistent odor prove Cove stench problem is still far from over By DAVE SCHWAB

A roundup of ghoulish events around town Ever since we were kids, we loved this time of the year. The weather is starting to cool down and almost everywhere you look, there’s no shortage of Halloween fun. Whether you’re into costume parties, haunted thrill rides or prefer family friendly events, there are plenty of fun activities to choose from.

In La Jolla, one of the best bets for family-friendly and affordable fun is the 13th annual Haunted Birch Aquarium: Shipwrecked! This interactive exhibit is every kid’s dream. Guests are encouraged to come in costume to wander the museum halls, collect sweet treats and hear Halloween stories. The event also features live music from zydeco band Billy Lee & the Swamp Critters, as well as prizes for best costumes. Kids 2 and under are admitted free. Check out www.aquarium.ucsd.edu for tickets and more information about the Oct. 25 and 26 event.

In Mission Beach, Belmont Park has been transformed into a frightfully fun Halloween zone. The masterminds behind San Diego’s popular attractions, “The Haunted Hotel” and “The Scream Zone” teamed up with Belmont Park to create its first ever family-friendly haunt, BOOmont Park. The Halloween festivities are held Friday through Sunday and on Halloween Day starting at 5 p.m. So far, this new attraction is a big hit with locals.

“Our family has kids ranging from 2 years old up to 16 years old, so it’s great because there’s something for everyone,” Pacific Beach resident Tamara Ramirez said. “BOOmont Park is perfect for big families like mine because it’s literally a one-stop shop.”

BOOmont’s attractions include BOOmont Manor, a family-friendly haunted house, free trick-or-tricking, Zombie Laser Tag and pumpkin-patch painting. www.-

The popular La Jolla Shores restaurant has earned quite a reputation for its creepy, spooky décor. Every Halloween, owner Barbara Beltaire goes all out, transforming her Italian bistro into a garden of ghoulish figures. Customers say Beltaire has a real talent.

Far from over, the battle to quench the stench at La Jolla Cove may actually have intensified as some say bad odors persist while high bacteria counts have triggered the need for signs to be posted warning of a potential health hazard.

“We sample numerous beaches routinely, including this particular beach (Cove), and the sample came back high with respect to bacteria levels, and that’s what has caused us to post signs out there,” said Keith Kezer with the county Department of Environmental Health. “The signs are basically telling people there is an increased risk to illness. What we’re doing is educating people on what the water quality is, so they can make a decision for themselves and their families.”

Kezer said the recent Cove sample was above state standards for two different kinds of bacteria — enterococcus from the intestines of humans and animals, and coliform, a bacteria universally found in the feces of warm-blooded animals and commonly used as an indicator of the sanitary quality of foods and water.

“The state standard for enterococcus is 104,” said Kezer, noting the sample level for the bacteria is typically in the 10 to 20 range for an uncontaminated body of water. The sample taken at the Cove was above 104.

A high fecal coliform count is also the same

Shores lifeguard tower, a long time coming, opens to praise from community

By DAVE SCHWAB

La Jolla Shores’ long-awaited cantilevered lifeguard tower drew rave reviews from city staff, public officials and local residents at an Oct. 11 open house.

“We’re ecstatic to be in the new tower, which we’ve been in since mid-June,” said Lifeguard Services Sgt. Ed Harris.

“Space,” replied Harris when asked what the biggest difference is between the new and old towers.

Noting the new tower has ample

room for male and female lockers, restrooms and a modern kitchen, Harris said there’s a separate storage facility now in the middle of the parking lot.

“We used to have equipment stored up by the high school on Nautilus,” he said. “We’ve put it here in the garage. It’s great.”

Associate city engineer Jihad Sleiman, a liaison between the community and city on the project, said the new tower’s design is

as practical as it is aesthetically pleasing.

“The old boardwalk had a huge kink in it where bicyclists and skateboarders used to run into one another,” he said. “Look at it. It’s so beautiful. So nice. It looks futuristic.”

Asked whether she missed the old high-rise tower, Shores resident

STUDENTS HAVE ANOTHER REASON to don those Halloween costumes for the Bird Rock Elementary Fall Festival for Kids on Wednesday, Oct. 30 from 12:30 to 4 p.m.

Held at Bird Rock Park, adjacent to Bird Rock Elementary, the event features giant jumpies, carnival booths and more. Wristbands are $13 the day of the event. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

THE SAN DIEGO FRENCHAMERICAN SCHOOL hosted grandparents and special friends day on Oct. 6. Grandparents were invited to visit their grandchild’s classroom and share a favorite childhood book with the class. The day was a great success, as the children discovered their favorite books were also grandma’s or grandpa’s favorites long ago.

People Offering warm welcomes down the coast Years ago, La Jolla native Julie Taylor was the first person to play a guitar during a traditional church service at the request of the youth minister of La Jolla Presbyterian Church. She rocked them then, and she rocks today.

Taylor followed her music dreams to LA and out to the world. She returned to San Diego after more than two decades for a brief reprieve. She so enjoyed helping her mother, Rose Mary Taylor, with Welcome Wagon services that she decided to stay a while longer.

Today, 15 years later, Taylor is emerging as the key player in San Diego coastal communities spanning from Encinitas to Point Loma and downtown, Hillcrest, Mission Valley, Clairemont and University City. She is the force behind Newcomers San Diego, a welcoming service for those newly arrived.

Through her passion for helping newcomers feel welcome, Taylor is a model for women who are learning and growing successfully.

Born the fourth child of six, Taylor was self-taught first on the guitar, then the dulcimer and piano. A sister’s boyfriend showed her some chords, and off she went playing songs, à la Joni Mitchell and others.

She lived at home and went to Mesa College for a year until she found her way into California School of Arts. She put herself through

school as an entertainer at prominent hotels and clubs while studying classical guitar and composition.

Taylor put out an album of country music called “Avenue of Heartaches,” backed by a talented band. She wrote and sang and was on a world tour, then performed in events in Los Angeles.

In 1998, she returned to San Diego and began working with her mother, Rose Mary, for Welcome Wagon. Four months later, however, it went out of business when a large company that had purchased it from the founders changed its system and failed. The Taylor women immediately opened their own business, called Newcomers International, which got its start in La Jolla.

Both worked the business until Rose Mary retired in 2006. The business then became Newcomers

San Diego.

Taylor contacts people who have just moved — more than 100 individuals and businesses each month — and informs them about their new community. She offers letters of welcome from high-level government officials, tells people of their civic leaders and civic events, voting information, public and cultural events, locations of the post office and library and provides phonebooks and community newspapers.

She invites every newcomer to the seasonal Community Connections Newcomers Appreciation Event, hosted by some of her sponsors, where they can get a look at her musical talent, as she provides the evening’s entertainment.

In addition, as Newcomers San Diego grows, Taylor has set in motion a training program to bring in additional relationship builders who want to help the business grow.

La Jolla woman testifies of rape near Rosecrans

By NEAL PUTNAM

A 30-year-old La Jolla woman has identified a man whom she said raped her behind a closed restaurant on Pacific Highway near Rosecrans Street. He has been ordered to stand trial on four charges.

The victim told San Diego Superior Court Judge Joan Weber that Michael Meretse Tesfa, 22, also robbed her of her iPhone, backpack and most of her clothing after he ran off March 18.

Weber ordered Tesfa to stand trial for rape, kidnapping, robbery and false imprisonment on Oct. 3 at the end of a preliminary hearing. Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth McClutchey ann-ounced she may file a charge of kidnapping for rape, an offense that carries a life sentence. A trial date of Jan. 24 was set on Oct. 17 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh. Tesfa has pleaded not guilty.

The sexual assault took place behind Perry’s Café, which is open for breakfast and lunch, but is closed at night. The woman said she was in the area after taking the wrong bus and

ended up at the Old Town Trolley Station, which is close to the restaurant.

She testified she met Tesfa earlier in the evening and she declined his invitation to go to a hotel. She said at that point “he was very charming, very friendly.” The victim became anxious as she started to recount the steps leading to the rape and a recess was called.

She returned and testified she and Tesfa were walking to the trolley station and they both sat on a bench in front of the closed restaurant. She said she was looking at bus schedules and was startled when “he hit me in the face with a closed fist.”

The victim said he pulled and dragged her to the back of the restaurant at an indented area.

“It was really scary back there — no light. It was a place where nobody could see me or hear me scream,” she said.

“He shoved me down on the ground. I started screaming for help. He was stronger than me,” she said.

TOWER >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

Susan Goulian said, “Not at all.

Here we have an unobstructed view and this tower, from the distance — you can’t see it. They did a wonderful job.”

Approved by the city in 2002, it took years for the new Shores lifeguard tower to be funded. But it was all worth it, said all of the parties involved.

Project designers Rick Espana and Ralph Roesling from Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, Inc., who were at the open house, talked about overcoming challenges in the tower’s design. “[The community] said, ‘Make it disappear,’ ” said Espana. “Obviously, we couldn’t do that. So the next best thing was to go with a

thin profile.”

Roesling discussed the architectural feat behind the tower.

“We wanted the scale to be more like a residence where you feel warmer,” said he said. “The idea of just making the stairs the tower allows you to make it very compact and almost transparent. The tower actually really floats at that point.”

The tower, Espana said, is “unlike any other lifeguard station that’s out there right now. We think the best part of it was opening up the park.”

The project, Roesling said, was a pleasure for the architects, given all of its challenges.

“This was one of the most fun projects that we’ve ever done in our office because of all the structural challenges, and getting in all the amenities that the lifeguards

Mayer identified the suspect as Alan Deller, 63, a resident in the condominium complex in the 3200 block of Via Marin.

A neighbor of Deller’s heard two shots fired five minutes apart and saw bullet holes appear on inside walls on both sides of his residence, Mayer said.

Police evacuated the complex while officers attempted to contact the sus-

San Diego lifeguard Chief Rick Wurts stood a few hundred yards down from the new tower in the footprint of the old tower.

“If you go down the beach toward the water’s edge and you look up, it really does disappear into the background,” he said.

Wurts said the project is a winwin all around.

“It’s great for the community,” he said. “It’s great for the lifeguards, provides us a better vantage point for water observation.

The way it sits out provides a better view corridor for the people who are here. Having the garage here is incredibly helpful. We look forward to this tower taking us into the future for many years.”

The standoff continued until about noon when the suspect went outside his condo and was taken into custody without incident.

Effort to change La Jolla parade moniker renewed What’s in a name?

Everything, for some in La Jolla when it comes to Christmas.

A simmering controversy that first erupted in 2005 over a request to strike Christmas from the name of the community’s annual December parade has resurfaced.

Then — and now — pressure is being exerted to have the La Jolla Town Council Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival changed to something more generic and less overtly religious to make it more inclusive of non-Christians.

Eight years ago, a handful of La Jollans, including the late Murray Galinson, a philanthropist and political power broker, and Jack McGrory, former San Diego city manager, petitioned the nonprofit La Jolla Town Council, sponsors of the parade now in its 56th year, to consider changing the parade name.

In the end, that attempt fell just short as La Jolla Town Council trustees voted 11-10 by secret ballot against the proposal.

Now, current La Jolla Town Councilman Howard Singer has revived the debate over changing the parade’s name.

On Oct. 16, Singer successfully petitioned the San Diego Human Relations Commission (HRC),

which agreed to act as a liaison in re-establishing a dialogue between opposing sides on the parade name issue.

The mission of the HRC is to promote activities that foster mutual respect and understanding, protect basic human and civil rights and create an atmosphere that promotes peaceful and harmonious relations among all members of the San Diego community.

“We wouldn’t care if it was the Santa Claus parade or the community parade or the holiday parade,” Singer told commissioners Oct. 16.

“The fact is, people won’t discuss this with us, and they feel they’re above discussing this with other people. Therein lies the problem.

And that’s why we’re here.”

Singer noted numerous other parade names throughout the county, including Balboa Park’s holiday event (December Nights, formerly Christmas on the Prado) have been changed without incident. Singer also said he felt resistance in changing the La Jolla parade name to something more inclusive might be the result of lingering antiSemitism from La Jolla’s past when Jewish residents were discriminated against in housing

and other areas.

Singer’s sentiment was echoed at the commission hearing by Debbie Allen, San Diego chapter president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

“Christmas is not universally celebrated by everyone,” said Allen, noting many Christmas traditions were borrowed from Romans, pagans and other nonChristian cultures.

“To include all of our neighbors is not an easy task,” admitted Allen. “But we all aspire to represent cultural diversity celebrating the uniqueness of all people.”

Noting our nation is “no more segregated than when we worship,” Allen said, “I’m here to ask that the parade name be changed to make it more inclusive of the entire community, and better representative of the true diversity of La Jolla.”

HRC chair Mark Dillon said the group is “not a judge, not a jury,” but that its role is one of facilitator.

“How can we respond to this in a public way to increase the likelihood that it gets resolved?” Dillon asked, suggesting something be done that “moves this forward.”

Commissioner Joyce Abrams suggested the group offer to serve as mediators in further discussion of the issue.

Commissioner Bruce Abrams then moved that the commission write a letter to the mayor supporting consideration of changing the La Jolla parade name, while NAME GAME La Jolla Town Councilman Howard Singer and Debbie Allen, chapter president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, hold a sign at the recent meeting of the San Diego Human Relations Commission where Singer and Allen testified to the need for a change in the name of the La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival.

offering to mediate the dispute by appealing first to District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, asking her to bring the two sides together to attempt to resolve their differences over the issue. Lightner, meanwhile, deferred to the event’s organizers, as well as the formal process for changing an event’s name, in a statement to the press.

“This has been a contentious issue for years,” Lightner wrote.

“The annual event, which is very popular and well-attended, is organized and funded by a group of local residents. It is the group that makes the decision on the parade name/theme and it must go through the same special-event permitting process as all others held in the city of San Diego, i.e.

Gay Pride Parade, Filipino-American Festival, Praise Fest, Pacific Islander Celebration, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Pro-Life Rally, etc.”

Commissioners conceded it’s too late to have any impact on this year’s parade, which is scheduled for Dec. 8.

No one at the commission hearing spoke in favor of keeping Christmas in La Jolla’s parade name.

Members of the La Jolla Town Council could not be reached for comment.

Should You Hire A New Doctor?

With so much emphasis lately on the U.S. healthcare system, good communication between patient and doctor is being increasingly emphasized. New apps and technology is a sign that healthcare providers are quite focused on better engagement with their patients. Doctor’s are even taking com-

munication training in order to improve how they engage their patients. So what do you do if you feel the relationship with your doctor just isn’t working?

Changing your doctor can be timeconsuming and difficult. Before leaving your present doctor, try to resolve the issues you may be having. The following is a guide on when you should consider leaving your present physician.

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.

We don’t have any money,” said LJVMA president Phil Coller, referring to its current financial situation as “grim” at the group’s Oct. 9 meeting. “One of the ways to try and solve this problem temporarily is to sublet part of the space that we occupy as the

LJVMA Information Center.”

Although no agreement is yet in place to sublease the office space, Coller added, “It will raise a substantial amount of rent.”

Coller said the present financial shortfall is primarily the result of “an extremely poor response to advertising on TV screens” at the information center, as well as unanticipated funding cutbacks from various sources, including grants.

“Can’t we just lower the prices of the TVs?” asked LJVMA board member Claudette Berwin.

“We’ve already done that,” replied LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune.

LJVMA treasurer Tom Brady pointed out the use of the advertising screens as a source of income “was a gamble that didn’t quite work out,” adding the group’s safety net is “the value of the lease on some very desirable property.”

CIVICREPORT >> La Jolla Town Council The La Jolla Town Council got a lesson on Internet safety and cyber bullying at its Oct. 10 meeting.

Sara Napoli, president and CEO of the San Diego Police Foundation, talked about fundraising and community outreach benefiting law enforcement, as well as discussing the growing threat, especially to young people, posed by Internet crimes.

“The chief of police founded the organization and since that time, we’ve funded equipment, training and outreach programs for our police department,” Napoli said about the nonprofit foundation,

which uses grants to enhance police/community relations, crime prevention and public safety.

Napoli talked about the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

“Their job is to catch predators luring children online and get [suspects] off the streets,” Napoli said, adding another part of her job is to speak with children and parents to help “kids stay safe online.”

Napoli also talked about another growing Internet crime: cyber bullying. Citing a recent example of a young local woman from Ire-

land who was having trouble “fitting in” and committed suicide after cyber bullies hounded her with text messages and emails, Napoli said the foundation is working with police to educate students and parents about the best ways to respond to cyber bullying. That is being done through the SafetyNet: Smart Cyber Choices program, which offers an online parent guide that can be viewed at www.smartcyberchoices.org.

Napoli said the foundation’s

The LJVMA board voted to sublease about two-thirds of the information center at 1162 Prospect St. Monthly rent for the sublease space is about $6,500. For more information, call Fortune at (858) 454-5718.

Moving on to matters of neighborhood beautification, the group sanctioned “Partners in Grime,” a La Jolla Community Foundation proposal to clean up the downtown Village.

By DAVE SCHWAB

Coller said La Jolla has a widespread reputation for being beautiful, but “we do not live up to that promise by any measure.”

Nonprofit La Jolla Community Foundation has volunteered to step forward and “try and help clean up the Village,” he said.

• The La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) discussed the ongoing problem of weekend traffic tie-ups on La Jolla Shores Drive at its Oct. 9 meeting.

“We need to do something to adjust the traffic lights or something because traffic is backed up sometimes on La Jolla Parkway all the way up to Highway 52,” said LJSA board member John Kassar.

Some members cited the possible need for a traffic study, while others discussed various ways traffic could be alleviated, like with the

installation of traffic circles.

• During public comment period, Peter Bavasi, speaking on behalf of UC San Diego and the Scripps Coastal Reserve, opposed creation of a new Shores off-leash dog park.

La Jolla

OPENS ITS DOORS uests can view La Jolla’s period architecture and tour many of its most historic institutions in the community’s Cultural Zone at the third annual Open Doors, an openhouse style event Sunday, Nov. 3 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event is a collaboration between Cultural Zone organizations, including the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), La Jolla Historical Society, the Women’s Club, Cuvier Club, The Bishop’s School, St. James by-the-Sea, the Bed & Breakfast Inn at La Jolla and the La Jolla Recreation Center.

The tour is a great way for people to see buildings the public doesn’t always have access to, and explore the area’s cultural heritage and historic architecture.

One of the attractions at Open Doors will be an exhibition titled “Scripps on Prospect” co-hosted by the La Jolla Historical Society and MCASD in Axline Court at the museum at 700 Prospect St. The collaboration examines the historical evolution of MCASD, originally Ellen Browning Scripps’ residence and Wisteria Cottage, once the home of Ellen’s half-sister, Eliza Virginia.

Historic architect Irving Gill designed or remodeled both iconic buildings, which have remained cultural and educational landmarks. The exhibit profiles the long and enduring history of each structure.

“The idea here is almost to think about the cultural zone as a museum and put the institutions and the architecture that is unique to the Cultural Zone on display free to the public for this particular day,” said Heath Fox, executive director of La Jolla Historical Society.

The “Scripps connection” is the theme of this year’s third installment of the cultural zone open house. That theme is showcased by the joint “Scripps on Prospect” exhibition.

“We’re showing the evolution of the villa and cottage, which became MCASD and Wisteria Cottage, tracing the history through photographs, architectural drawings and other documents celebrating the cultural zone here in La Jolla and the history and architecture of this place,” said Fox. Another participant, St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church at 743 Prospect St., is gearing up for the event. Walter DuMelle, assistant to the rector, said the church has been busy assembling a display of “architectural plans and art and all things St. James.”

DuMelle said guests will notice the seaside church has a major restoration project under way, renovating its bell tower, roof, repainting its walls and restoring its stained-glass windows.

“We’ll have two in-house architects available to discuss the renovation project going on,” said DuMelle.

DuMelle said St. James is on board with this year’s Open House theme, “Emphasizing the Scripps Legacy,” along with its connection to other cultural-zone institutions. The Scripps family made a generous donation to St. James allowing creation of the church’s landmark bell tower.

There are other treats on tap for visitors to St. James on Nov. 3, said DuMelle.

“Along with opening our front door, we will have organ demonstrations so people can enjoy getting up-close-and-personal with that and there will be some singing as well,” he said.

There will be refreshments at the special event, including coffee and scones.

FRIDAY · OCTOBER 25, 2013 LA JOLLA TODAY

Fitwall workout offers a one-stop-shop fitness plan for all ages 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 cutting-edge 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.

Fitwall is a cross-training method blending basics — and high-tech — in one comprehensive fitness program.

“There’s an opportunity to reimagine the fitness experience, what fitness means,” said CEO Joshua Weinstein, of the business philosophy behind Fitwall La Jolla, which opened at 7710 Fay Ave. in May. “You can come and work out here, do it in 40 minutes, have fun and it’s going to be a welcoming and great experience.”

Fitwall’s motto is, Don’t train harder: Train Smarter.

“This is a revolution in the way you can train your body,” said Weinstein. “You can get better results working out here three times a week for 40 minutes than you can going to the gym for an hour and a half each day.”

The Fitwall research-based program eschews weights and other

traditional equipment in favor of a one-device-fits-all approach, the Fitwall vertical training system, which utilizes interchangeable steps, bars, straps and elastic bands.

The Fitwall program professes to deliver strength, cardio and flexibility combined in one intense, fast-paced, 40-minute workout.

The validation of the program, Weinstein said, is the quality of the trainers Fitwall employees, who he said are career fitness coaches “won over” by the Fitwall system.

“We use strength and conditioning coaches who’ve used thousands of tools,” said Weinstein.

“But they’ve come to work here with one tool, because they realize that one tool is more powerful, and can have a bigger impact, on people’s physical health than a room with a thousand tools. That really speaks volumes.”

Weinstein said Fitwall appeals to active men and women of all ages and types.

“We have 9-year-olds working next to professional surfers, working out next to 75-year-olds who’ve had double-bypass surgery,” he said. “You can’t really name any other fitness experience that can integrate all of those.”

Yoana Teran, Fitwall’s market

ALL-IN-ONE FITNESS Yoana Teran, Fitwall’s marketing manager, demonstrates the Fitwall method, above. The workout is based on a single apparatus, which utilizes steps, bars, straps and elastic bands.

manager, demonstrated the Fitwall method. She first selected a “peanut,” an electronic monitor, which every client wears, allowing the Fitwall system to carefully measure things like clients’ heartbeats so the individual can see how they, as well as everyone else in their 16-member class, is performing.

“You’ve got everything right here on the wall,” she said, step-

ping onto the apparatus. “You can really see if you’re pushing yourself enough.

“There are no weights involved, only your body weight and gravity,” Teran continued. “Any time you are on the wall, gravity is pulling you down and you have to use every single muscle of your body for strength. It’s a lot of body stimulation.”

coach, walked over to the back of the wide-open fitness room and pointed to a wall inscribed with 14 workout “fundamentals,” a list of exercises like pull-ups, squats, extensions and calf raises.

“They’re all multi-joint movements, which do a lot in a little amount of time,” Harski said.

“Each workout is a combination of all those things.”

Harski said Fitwall is a more holistic fitness approach.

“It really connects your body together so your body works as one unit versus a bunch of isolated pieces,” he said. “From an athletic standpoint, we want to be able to integrate all the pieces together to allow people to get all the strength, cardio and flexibility they need. If you’re always running or cycling, for example, you’re getting a lot of wear and tear on the same pieces.

This keeps you fit without wearing out your go-to pieces.”

Fitwall is a paradigm shift, said Weinstein.

“You don’t need to have a bunch of muscle-bound people or a lot of heavy weights that are often the things that turn people off from fitness,” he said. “Folks in La Jolla and elsewhere are really responding positively to what we’re doing.”

GUEST COLUMN

Why you need to improve your sleep hygiene Regular bathing and grooming is only a start. If good personal hygiene matters, sleep should also be a top priority.

When this area is ignored, the entire body can suffer. This is especially so if weight loss and personal fitness are concerns. Even the best diet and exercise plans can be easily derailed if sleep is neglected.

Medical researchers say that poor sleep is one of the most prevalent problems encountered in society. This is due to a number of factors, including: • Staying up too late and/or getting up too early • Consuming drugs such as caffeine and nicotine throughout the day • Over-stimulation in the evening hours • Stress Poor sleep can have a number of negative effects that may ripple throughout a person’s entire life.

Some of the side effects that can occur when poor sleep habits are ingrained include: • Constant fatigue • A tendency to be moody, irritable or quick to anger • Lack of concentration • Loss of coordination, which can also impact ability to drive • Tardiness and/or absenteeism

• Eating problems, including binge eating, loss of appetite • Dependency on stimulants • Difficulty in interpersonal relationships Getting into a normal sleep routine can assist with weight loss efforts for a variety of reasons.

When the body is deprived of sleep, a person will simply be more likely binge eat, late-night eat and may lack the energy necessary to exercise.

When a good sleep schedule is created and actions support proper sleep hygiene, the entire body and

mind can benefit. Here are some tips that can help improve sleep hygiene: SET A SCHEDULE AND STICK TO IT

The body craves routine. This is especially so when it comes to sleeping patterns. Set a realistic bed time and wake time each day. Try to stick with it on workdays, weekends — all the time.

DEVELOP GOOD EATING HABITS

Food and ability to sleep do go hand-in-hand. To promote healthy sleep, a person has to not only eat healthier, but also smarter. It’s best to avoid large meals before bedtime.

Spicy, sugary and heavy snacks should also be avoided. When possible, stop eating about two hours before that set bed time.

AVOID USE OF DRUGS BEFORE BED

Drugs don’t have to be illegal to wreak havoc on the likelihood of enjoying a good night’s sleep. It’s best to avoid legal drugs such as caffeine, nicotine and alcohol before bedtime. Stimulants like caffeine, for example, can keep the body pumped up, preventing sleep entirely. Nicotine and alcohol can get in the way of a person enjoying a truly restful night’s sleep.

By ISRAEL LOBUE GET PHYSICAL

Building exercise into the regular routine can also help promote healthier, more restful sleep habits.

Exercise doesn’t have to take place at night, either, to have an impact.

Even light exercise can help a person improve sleep hygiene by reducing stress and burning off extra energy.

Losing weight and getting into shape doesn’t just call for diet and exercise. Proper sleep hygiene can play a critical role in the process.

When sound habits are developed, the entire body can benefit.

The Preservationists

MUSTHEAR >> Anyone who enjoys the sounds of New Orleans or classic-style jazz in general will want to check out the 13-piece Preservationists, performing at the La Jolla Community Center on Nov. 1, 5 p.m. The official band of Mission Bay High School under the leadership of music director JP Balmat, the award-winning ensemble has turned out several generations of great jazz musi-

cians over the years. While much of the music world these days is based on hype and what a producer can do behind the scenes, watching these youngsters perform is both exciting and inspiring. To paraphrase Pete Townshend, the kids are alright.

Experiencing symphonic excellence Starry, starry nights

OPUS: left: Jing Yan (violin), Doug and Susan Lowrance, Doug Hall (French horn), Jisun Yang (violin; associate concertmaster), Jane Rice (SDS director)

with Vincent Andrunas The San Diego Symphony (SDS) held its annual black-tie fundraising gala Oct. 19. It began outside Copley Symphony Hall, where B Street, closed to traffic, was converted to a posh party venue.

Chairpersons Hélène and George Gould gave their gala Erté’s artdeco style, and subtitled it “Glitz, Glamour and Gershwin.” The reception featured gourmet hors d’oeuvres, gorgeous models flaunting stunning Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry and two beautifully restored 1920s Rolls Royce automobiles.

After the reception, partygoers ascended to the 34th floor University Club, where they found a string quartet and spectacular panoramic views. An elegant seated dinner awaited; amuse-bouche plus three courses, with a Chateaubriand entrée. Symphony CEO Edward Gill noted that at 103 years of age, SDS is California’s oldest symphony — and one of America’s very best.

“We’re the top of the country right now,” he said, “probably the most successful orchestra in America today.”

Fifteen consecutive years of balanced budgets — and achievement of “Tier 1” status — attest to that claim. So does the fact that SDS will play Carnegie Hall on Oct. 29, followed by Shanghai, Beijing and Yantai, China, in early November.

A surprise live auction addition was a Beverly Hills lunch with a moonwalker — famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin — who was also a gala guest. The auction and subsequent paddle raise helped event proceeds exceed $700,000 for SDS’ music education and outreach programs, which reached over 51,000 San Diego children last year.

Guests adjourned to the virtually full concert hall. CEO Gill introduced gala honorary chairs Joan and Irwin Jacobs, whose support over the years has included financial gifts totaling $130 million, and presented them with a commemorative plaque. While the Copley name will remain on the auditorium, the overall facility has now been renamed the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Center.

The orchestra’s 90-minute performance featured Gershwin’s “An American in Paris” and “Rhapsody in Blue,” and Ravel’s

Seated: Nicole Velazquez, Jennifer Edstrom, Emily Scott.

“Bolero.” The audience responded with thunderous standing ovations, giving particular attention to piano soloist Kevin Cole for his incredibly masterful “Rhapsody” performance.

The fun didn’t end there. Partygoers returned to the now-redecorated University Club for more libations, sumptuous buffets, fine cheeses, decadent desserts, a dance band (and elsewhere, a solo singer) and casino gaming.

Concert plus after-party tickets cost $250 — well worthwhile for the entertainment received. Fullevent tickets, including VIP reception, dinner, concert and post-concert salon, cost several times as much. This was an opportunity for people to financially support SDS programs, while receiving in return seven hours of lavish sensual delights — a memorable evening of the finest quality — and the satisfaction of helping San Diego’s kids. *** Las Patronas (LP) is a revered organization of about 50 accomplished La Jolla women who perennially raise substantial funds to support numerous worthy San Diego nonprofits. At LP’s recent annual La Jolla Country Club luncheon, it welcomed six new members, and celebrated the success of its 67th Jewel Ball, dubbed “Lucky 13.” Chaired by Erin Wyer, with co-chairs Megan Heine and Marlena Poulin, the August event

raised more than $840,000, all of which will be distributed to carefully vetted beneficiary organizations.

Each Jewel Ball involves all LP members in a full year of planning and laborious preparation, resulting in the most significant social event in the entire region. Susie Piegza, chairwoman of the next (Aug. 2, 2014) Ball, introduced its theme with a retrospective video based on her mother’s 1956 trip to Havana. Titled “Moonlit Mambo,” it will celebrate the color, music and romance of 1950s Havana with the verve and panache for which this annual event is renowned.

SEE RETIREMENT >> PG. 19 In 1609, when colonists first

We live in a world where nearly everything is programmed to survive by killing one other. Imported plants take over native species, big fish eat little fish, and big animals prey on smaller ones. Ant colonies war with each other; primates do the same. Within our bodies, white blood cells gobble up intruders; in the heavens, black holes gobble up stars.

Eat and be eaten, kill or be killed.

So, we are doing the same.

Whether it is dissenting political parties or tribal warfare, conflict is part of human history wherever our species lived and still exists today in remote places in the world.

We should be surprised when there is peace and good will for a few years, not when there is war and ill will.

We are territorial animals. We want each other’s land or oil wells or to force others to believe in our God or our political system — how different is it except for scale and technology from wanting each other’s goats or women or totems?

So even when it is not one nation against another, it is one belief system against another. And that, perhaps, is the most destructive of all.

When we raid a neighboring village (or nation) to take their resources, we are satisfied with our loot, but often the prize we want is to convert others to our belief system.

We become so entrenched in the fight that we justify the violence as divinely ordained (or moral and necessary to the great cause or the revolution). So, where does that line of reasoning take us?

The Christians who led the Crusades (also to kill infidels), or the ones who instigated the Inquisition to kill Jews, or the ones who killed Native Americans in the New World in the name of Christ, are they all sitting with God? What God would be pleased that people kill in his name — Allah or Jesus?

Will the Catholics go to heaven, but not the Baptists? Or, will the Baptists, but not the Mormons?

Does a Muslim have the answer or a Jehovah’s Witness or an Inuit?

Did God speak to Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed and Joseph Smith?

Even within the same religion there is dissent: Orthodox versus Reform Jews and Christians fighting with each other. So, what is it?

Will half of Ireland go to heaven and the other half be denied access?

Do we know which: the Catholics or the Protestants? Will the Sunnis or the Shiites?

Is it a clash of religion or a clash of culture? Is it the “have nots” against the “haves,” the bearded ones against the shaven, or the covered heads against the bare ones? Is it dark skin against light?

Merchants warned of imposter SDG&E scam Warnings are being issued by the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) and the Pacific Beach Business Improvement District (PBBID) to merchants who are being targeted by a telephone scam, in which imposters posing as representatives of San Diego Gas & Electric are attempting to extort money.

According to the business advocates, the scam involves an immediate threat by the scammers to have a merchant’s power disconnected by SDG&E

within a very short period of time if “X” amount is not paid.

Reports have been filed that dollar amounts range from several hundred to over $1,000. The scammer apparently has access to specific information about a merchant’s account and payment history.

According to the OBMA and PBBID, SDG&E will not call merchants to settle up on an outstanding invoice, but rather leave a written notice. Merchants are urged to call SDG&E

first to confirm any information before making a payment.

This is a crime that should be reported to the police department’s Economic Crimes Division at (619) 446-1031.

For more information about the scam, visit the SDG&E website at www.sdge.com/node/ 2755.

Merchants are also encouraged to call (619) 224-4906, or email info@oceanbeachsandiego.com to report similar activity.

Town Council trustee Nancy Garner proclaimed the Oct. 5 Dancing with the Stars fundraiser to be a huge success, thanking the council committee that helped her stage it.

“Next year, we’re going to start early enough to get sponsorships to cover the cost of the event so that all our money will be profit,” Gardner said.

Her sentiments were echoed from others who attended the event.

outreach programs have reached “75,000 young people in sixththrough eighth-grades and 10,000 adults.”

She said projects the foundation has funded, like trauma kits used

by SWAT teams, have saved police officers’ lives in the field, as have the police canines the foundation has helped fund.

“Those specially trained dogs cost almost $12,000 each,” Napoli said, noting dogs can smell “800 times better than we can.”

UC bank robber sentenced The University City bank robber who was shot by a security guard was sentenced Oct. 16 to five years in state prison.

Casey Alan Wilson, 27, of El Cajon, is the only one of three people charged with the June 11 hold up of Wells Fargo Bank on Genesee Avenue to plead guilty. Wilson was shot in the arm and face and the getaway driver left him at a hospital.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenia Eyherabide ordered Wilson to pay more than $22,100 that was stolen from the same bank on May 7. Wilson pleaded guilty to two robbery charges and received credit for 147 days in jail. He was fined more than $2,500.

Robert Anthony Hodge, 28, and Laura Joyce Elshire, 43, will get a trial date set for them on Nov. 4 after they were ordered to stand trial for the same robbery. If Hodge is convicted of the May 7 robbery, he would have to share the restitution order.

No money was taken out of the bank on June 11. Elshire was arrested inside the bank. Hodge and Elshire have pleaded not guilty and they remain in jail.

Deputy District Attorney Chandelle Konstanzer asked Eyherabide to sentence Wilson to seven years, while his attorney sought a lesser sentence. The probation department recommended a 4-year term.

Donations are being sought for the San Diego Police Foundation, which provides funds for things like trauma kits used by SWAT teams and police canines. A dozen of the dogs are retiring next year.

“It was brilliant, everything about it, including the light show,” said Phyllis Minnick from the audience, about the fundraiser that paired professional dancers with local VIPS. LJTC president Cindy Greatrex commented about another successful council-sponsored event, a La Jolla Goodwill Store fashion

show held at La Jolla Woman’s Club.

“The next day after the sunsetter/fashion show, $680 worth of clothing was purchased from Goodwill,” said Greatrex. “It was a fabulous time seeing the models in the fashion show.”

Either we don’t have the time or we haven’t the interest. On the rare occasion that we flip through the channels in search of intelligence, we are curious and yet compelled to watch a few of these real-estate reality shows.

What amazes us is that, when we are dealing with people in the “real world,” they seem to believe they are entitled to the same great opportunities as shown in these television shows. Here is what is portrayed in those shows. A couple embarks upon a house search in some city or exotic vacation area.

This couple is seemingly so naïve they place all their trust with a real-estate agent that we are to believe they are meeting for the first time in their lives. As the real-estate agent begins to ask canned questions, it is clear that the couple has not sat down in advance to agree on their dream house. Owing to the couple’s combining “wish lists” for their dream house,

The real reality behind real-estate reality shows the real-estate agent is immediately challenged with “Mission Impossible.” Lo and behold, within the next 25 minutes of television time, we witness the classic “rabbit out of the hat.”

It unfolds this way: Mr./Ms. Real Estate Agent by happenstance or by the grace of television manages to locate three homes from within the available resale inventory. One is always below budget, one is close to the budget and the third is somewhat out of affordability range for the couple, thus creating television drama. How will they ever make a housing decision that will bring them everlasting joy? It matters not which house has the better features and benefits, one person in the couple always has issues.

The other thing that is notable to us is that the price points in the television real-estate markets border on the ridiculous — like a 4,000-square-foot house with full upgrades and amazing views for under $500,000.

Hmmm, this would not be La Jolla. Nonetheless, as the drama builds up to yawn level, the couple by the end of the show must make a

REAL ESTATEBRIEFS >> La Jolla’s largest condo sells for $8.2 million The largest condominium to ever sell in La Jolla at a little more than 6,500 square feet closed escrow the first week of October with a sales price of $8.2 million.

“I checked, and nothing that I could find comes close to being

as expansive as this condo in the Village of La Jolla, and probably all of San Diego County,” said Joan Schultz, the property’s agent with the La Jolla office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.

“Where can a buyer find something this magnificent in the heart of La Jolla with two huge patios spanning more than

decision from among the three choices.

At this point, we are wishing our lives were only this easy. We would love to show only three properties knowing the buyer has to select one, then quickly transact the deal and get paid. In real life, consumers in this country are insulted by so few selections.

As we are awakened by our own snoring, we catch the finale to learn that this once-differing couple have managed to choose a house that, by the way, was not even close to one of their “wish lists” — go figure! Wow, great job of resolution management. AND … And … no less, their offer was accepted at below asking price. So now those home buyers out there in TV land are more likely to believe they, too, have the opportunity to grab their dream home, all the while offering a lower price.

Sorry, but that is so 12 months ago.

For certain, these reality shows have been staged and pre-scripted, which lead to fantasies in the minds of people. These same people go out into the real world with those fantasies and become either very intolerant to deal with because they are insulted by the

1,000 square feet with sweeping ocean views?”

According to Schultz, the buyers were from San Diego and wanted to be able to walk to the Village with ease.

“They are so excited to be in the Village, so close to all of La Jolla’s quaint shops and restaurants now,” she said.

Schultz said the property is one of a kind.

“This condo is just a work of art designed by the late Arthur

Porras, who used the most beautiful woods and stones in exquisite combination,” she said.

The unit, with its three and a half bathrooms, office and dramatic views, was a prime example of his work and vision.

“This is a home that makes you feel warm and comfortable among its grace and elegance,” Schultz said. “Porras found a way to combine design elements in such a way you feel a sense of peace and calm wash over you.

real-estate agent’s selections, or they get very frustrated because they cannot achieve these expectations.

This is the reality. Every market, whether real estate, investment securities or precious metals, will experience cycles. Currently, the real-estate market is to the seller’s advantage, so if you associate yourself with those reality real-estate television shows, well, you may lose your window of opportunity to buy the next home for you and your family.

Your real-estate agent should have the metrics and data available to present to you a clear picture of the real estate market. This will help you to have a clear mindset.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”

— Dwight D. Eisenhower,

U.S. general and 34th President (1890–1969) Perhaps the only way we can counteract our evolutionary propensity is by education. Starting in kindergarten, through high school and college, offer classes not only about understanding diversity but also embracing the ones different from us. We tend to be more comfortable with people similar to ourselves, but our job as teachers, parents, mentors, and leaders is to help people get out of their comfort zones, explore and hold out a hand to those so different from us.

“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher

esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher (1844–1900) Yet tolerance is not valued by everyone, some see it as a vice, a lack of moral integrity. Maybe the real conflict isn’t between extremists groups, but between the philosophies of absolutism and relativism.

If we are programmed to fight, is there a way to deprogram ourselves, to accept each other as different but still part of the same human family? Is there a way for us to just love one another, not only in spite of, but because of…?

sensitive, year-round teaching area that’s ecologically fragile with intertidal pools that are in both a state marine conservation area and an area of special biological significance. Unleashed dogs would disturb sensitive marine animal and plant life in the inter-tidal zone.”

• Lifeguard Lt. Rick Strobel told LJSA there is a good chance the city will soon discuss starting a request for proposal (RFP) process to regulate Shores snorkelers, as has been done previously with other beach user groups.

LJSA Parks & Beaches Committee chair Mary Coakley Munk urged caution in initiating a new RFP process.

“It seems like we’ve singled out some groups, like kayakers and surfers, and given other groups a pass,” she said. “We’re working with scuba divers on a way to regulate their use of Kellogg Park, which they’ve been using for their businesses for years.”

Strobel assured the group safety was the No. 1 concern in the process.

“We’ll look at it from a public-safety standpoint,” replied Strobel. “We don’t have a timeline, but we’re seriously looking at it right now.”

Some LJSA board members echoed the need for an official presence in the area.

COMFORT ON THE BEACH On Oct. 14, LJSA reconvened on the site of the north La Jolla Shores restroom to review alternative design plans for the new facility, voting 6-3-1 in favor of a flat roof design. “The meeting was well attended by the community which overwhelmingly wanted a lower roof line for (less) view impact,” said Shores boutique owner Terry Kraszewski.

“We desperately need a park ranger and some maintenance on the park and we’d like to see that money (beach user fees) come here before going to the [city’s] general fund,” said LJSA board member Janie Emerson. “That’s a high concern to all of us, and we’re going to keep saying it until it happens.”

“We’ve heard that loud and clear,” responded Strobel.

In response to a community request to find out if lifeguards have any authority in enforcing laws pertaining to ice cream and other commercial vendors in Kellogg Park, Strobel said lifeguards’ purview is what goes on in the water, and with

businesses the city has RFP contracts with, such as kayak operators and surf camps.

In other action: • LJSA chairman Tim Lucas, responding to Bob and Kim Whitney’s claim of possible code violations involving parking at 2210 & 2226 Avenida de la Playa, said the city has informed him that one residence is in compliance, while the other is in the process of retrofitting their property to be in compliance with city codes.

The group’s next meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 6:30 p.m. at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Building T-29.

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.

The woman said he punched her six times and pulled her clothing off her.

“It felt like forever. I was crying. He was continuing to hit me. I was screaming.”

She said he suddenly stopped, zipped up his pants, and “took off toward a canyon toward Pacific Highway” with her clothing and iPhone.

She said she grabbed a dirty long sleeve shirt on the ground and put her legs through the sleeves. She ran toward a liquor store on Rosecrans Street and asked that someone call police.

She was taken to a hospital. She had a black eye and lost part of a tooth. She had glass in one foot from broken glass on the ground.

A stipulation between the prosecutor

La Jolla Today

and defense attorney Euketa Oliver was read into the record indicating that DNA from Tesfa matches semen that was found during an exam of the victim.

Police officer Ryan Schultz testified he responded to the 9-1-1 call and found Tesfa in a dry riverbed. He said Tesfa was “sweating profusely” when he saw him and noticed he was wearing a black backpack and holding a pink jacket.

Tesfa dropped the backpack and ran when he saw the officer, but Schultz said he caught up to him and arrested him.

Schultz said he secured the victim’s property. He said the victim identified Tesfa as the suspect at a curbside line up.

Tesfa’s mother attended the hearing.

He is on probation for punching his mother in the face in a misdemeanor battery case in 2012, according to court records. He has pleaded not guilty, and remains in jail on $750,000 bail.

BRIEFS >> CONT. FROM PG. 4 switchblade.

An investigation is continuing.

— Dave Schwab 70-YEAR-OLD DETAINED FOR SOLICITING UNDERAGE GIRLS A federal judge has ordered the owner of an Ocean Beach realestate school to remain in federal prison without bail after he was charged with sex trafficking of two young teenage girls.

Michael F. Lustig, 70, was arrested during a traffic stop on Governor Drive in University City on Oct. 1, following a year-long investigation that started when he was arrested during a prostitution sting at a motel on June 8,

2012.

Authorities looked at Lustig’s cell phones and discovered he had been texting two young girls, aged 13 and 14. The two federal charges Lustig is facing involve sex trafficking of a minor that affects interstate commerce.

The girls apparently received money from Lustig for some type of sexual activity. The evidence against him includes his text messages to the girls. Lustig sent more than 60 texts to one girl in a two-month period in 2011, according to court documents.

The words bookstore and library were used as words to set up a date involving prostitution, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Lustig allegedly rented motel rooms, according to surveillance camera footage.

“The defendant is alleged to have lured children into sex for money. This suggests he is a predator,” wrote U.S. Magistrate Judge Mitchell Dembin in his ruling on detaining Lustig without bail.

“There appears to be no conditions short of custody that will adequately protect the community,” concluded Dembin.

Lustig’s profile on Linkedin.com says he is the owner of Real Estate License Services that is located in Ocean Beach. The website for the school doesn’t mention his name.

His next appearance in U.S. District Court is set for Oct. 29 and he has pleaded not guilty. He remains in custody.
