Martin Lawrence Gallery brings out charity’s artistic side By KENDRA HARTMANN

La Jolla’s resident

Martin Lawrence Gallery will combine two decidedly La Jollaesque notions — art and charity — on Nov. 15 by giving art connoisseurs the chance to give back during a special exhibition to benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF).

The event will feature two heavyweights: basketball Hall-ofFamer Bill Walton in person, and artist Marc Chagall on canvas. A raffle, which will be drawn by Walton, will allow one lucky guest to go home with an original Chagall.

“This is the art of giving,” said gallery sales consultant Richard Sertucha, who has been active in charity events with CAF for years.

“We’re selling art, and we’re giving back. This will be the biggest [CAF] event yet, I think. [Martin Lawrence] is a big name, right on Prospect Street, and we’re bringing in big art.”

The gallery has long been active on the charity circuit, and especially with regard to CAF of late, with Martin Lawrence’s participation in CAF’s 20th annual San Diego

hen it comes to promoting events in La Jolla, Sherry Ahern is un-

equaled.

Whether creating a farmers market, staging an art and wine festival or fundraising to help save a distressed community center, Ahern has the moxie and experience to get the job done.

“I have always been the entrepreneur — a promoter,” said Ahern, a La Jollan since age 2, who owns an international agri-business selling hybrid seeds to farmers along with husband Kevin.

“All my life, from the time I was a little kid, I liked to do things to help people,” Ahern said. “I like to start things from scratch and give the money away.”

Ahern is grassroots. Allow her to establish the roots, and she’ll undoubtedly get you the grass.

The farmers market Ahern started as a fundraiser for La Jolla elementary schools just celebrated its 15th anniversary. The La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, another communal “seed” planted by Ahern, turned 5 this year.

And the La Jolla Community Center, with the help of Ahern, attorney Glenn Rasmussen and a core group of volunteers, has transitioned from near-bankruptcy and is on the road to self-sufficiency.

“I wake up in the middle of the night with these epiphanies,” she joked. “My husband just says,

‘You’re having a bad dream.’”

Ahern is Russian Jewish and was born in Michigan. She married an Irish Catholic from Texas who grew up in El Centro. Ahern said their relationship endures in part because of shared “humanitarianism.”

“We married for love,” said Ahern, noting her two children, now in their 20s, have been schooled in both faiths.

Ahern’s prescription for success

in life as well as business has two ingredients.

“Stay focused, and never give up,” she said, adding that philosophy helped her persevere through the two years it took to establish the La Jolla Open Aire Farmers Market, an idea she came up with as a school fundraiser 17 years ago after both her children had gradu-

Community news is alive and well at La Jolla Today, sister publications

By STAFF

The San Diego Community Newspaper Group remains one of the few independently owned and operated community newspaper outlets in San Diego, with the acquisition of Main Street Media (which publishes eight local community papers, including the La Jolla Light) by the U-T San Diego on Nov. 4.

With a current circulation of 60,000 between its three coastal newspapers — The Peninsula Bea-

con, Beach & Bay Press and La Jolla Today — SDCNG has represented beach-community residents since 1989. It has been independently owned by the same local family, and has operated out of offices in Pacific Beach, since its inception.

Publisher Julie Hoisington, who started the company with former husband David Mannis, said

SDCNG >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

SDCNG strives to provide communities with news taking place in residents’ figurative (and sometimes literal) backyards that would otherwise go unreported. The publications, she said, try to be a true reflection of the neighborhoods they serve and be the independent voice for these communities. Mannis currently publishes the Uptown News, Downtown News and Gay San Diego.

“The acquisition of the La Jolla Light and sister publications in San Diego County by the U-T would be an effort to reach more households,” Hoisington said. “With the devastating decline in subscriptions, dailies are scrambling to gain back revenue share lost to direct mail competition, alternative classified advertising sources like Craigslist and other niche publications. This strategic move by the UT may allow them to gain back a much-needed market share.”

Other independent community news outlets remain, including the Coast News Group, whose share of the news market in North County San Diego has increased since the U-T bought the North County Times last year. Since the sale of North County’s only daily paper, North County Times’ offices were closed and its operations folded into the U-T. Some North County readers

have complained that the local news they had become accustomed to reading was greatly diminished after the takeover.

“The U-T seems to be neglecting coverage previously provided by the recently purchased North County Times,” said Coast News Group publisher Jim Kydd. “This has helped us and we are moving to provide more coverage and circulation in these areas.

“I have even been approached to start a new daily to fill the void, which I have no plans to do,” Kydd continued. “If [the U-T does] the same with Main Street’s papers, we will prosper in the areas where we compete. If the U-T decides to invest in Main Street’s papers, it could be a different story. Only time will tell.”

Hoisington emphasized the need for community papers that operate on a sustainable model.

“At the end of the day,” Hoisington said, “it (the acquisition) has to make business sense. They (U-T) will have to make changes in order to cut costs. Will they raise rates?

Will they close a few titles that are not producing enough, or are not part of the mass market plan? We can’t be sure. The beauty of an independently run newspaper is we have always had the same business model — produce a true community news source, deliver the papers to everyone we can (at our expense) and provide a solid advertising partnership with local businesses, realtors and organizations.”

chooses one nonprofit to benefit from its annual gala every year.

This year, the beneficiary was CAF. “[The Triathlon Challenge] was an interesting interaction with community involvement,” said gallery director Brenda Klippel. “Challenged Athletes started 20 years ago at the Cove, so it was a perfect tie-in for us here, with our location. They’ve made a real difference in the lives of athletes, and it was so great to see that firsthand and be a part of it.”

Klippel and Sertucha said they feel La Jolla is the perfect location to let art lovers combine that love with the chance to help others.

Having a local celebrity like Bill Walton doesn’t hurt either, they said.

“Bill and other CAF athletes will be here, which is a big draw,” said Sertucha. “But the art is just as much a star as Bill is.”

Klippel agreed that the chance

There’s just a lot that goes into it.

To see people over the years evolve into good health has meant a lot to me.”

This will be the first year Sertucha is bringing the event to Martin Lawrence.

“To go into a new gallery, and have Brenda be supportive of this idea and helping the kids, it’s meant a lot to me,” he said. “I’m a great idea person, but I need an organizer. That’s where Brenda has been tremendously helpful and Martin Lawrence tremendously supportive.”

The special exhibition featuring Challenged Athletes Foundation members, Bill Walton and Chagall paintings will take place on Nov. 15 from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

The gallery is located at 1111 Prospect St. To RSVP, call (858) 551-1122.

Local businesses support La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival

Traditional annual event draws thousands to San Diego’s Jewel

DON BALCH

The newly formed nonprofit La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival Foundation announced it will be able to keep the tradition alive for the 56th annual event.

The parade and holiday festival, which draws more than 25,000 people a year, will kick off Sunday, Dec. 8 at 2 p.m.

The theme this year is “Christmas in the Surf and Sand.” In honor of their 50 years, the WindanSea Surf Club has been named Grand Marshal.

“Multiple generations of the same families

have shared the tradition of the La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival over the years and we are excited to give them another amazing event,” said Ann Kerr Bache, event chairwoman. “It truly captures the community and holiday spirit, as well as La Jolla’s magic. There is a reason we call it the ‘Crown Jewel.’”

The event is unique in that it is organized and run by a small committee of community volunteers and is fully funded through community sponsorships and donations with more than 70 percent of the donations being from individuals.

Fundraising co-chairs for the 2013 event are local business leaders Peter Farrell, Bill Kellogg and Jack McGrory, assisted by Debbie Dorsee of the Dorsee Company.

“There is strong support among the community for this longtime tradition,” said McGrory, a veteran real estate and development executive and community leader.

“Thousands of kids and adults alike look forward to the La Jolla

Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival every year. It would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors and donors.”

To date, the major Parade Sponsors are Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, La Jolla Management Co. and the San Diego Board of Supervisors funded by Supervisor Ron Roberts. Other sponsors include a mix of residents, businesses, community foundations and private donors. A complete list of donors and sponsors can be found at www.ljparade.com.

The Foundation is shy of its fundraising goal for the 2013 parade and holiday festival. The deadline for donations and sponsorships to be recognized in the Parade Program is Nov. 15. To donate, visit www.ljparade.com/#!donate/c8k 2.

This year’s parade is shaping up to be the best ever with more than 100 entries, including beauty queens in vintage vehicles, a dozen bands, 60 equestrians and several thousand kids marching in various groups (Girl Scouts, Brownies, gymnastics, Boy and Cub Scouts,

Health & Fitness

Cycling studio invites members to take a break from the everyday 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.

Breakaway Cycle in La Jolla is the Zen of physical fitness. And instructor Paul Drake is the Zen master.

“I had someone come up to me

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT ljtoday.com for a look at La Jolla’s newest fitness concept, Orange Theory. Ron Jones, the Voice of La Jolla, spoke to owner Billy Borja recently. You can listen to the interview on our website through Jones’ Voice of La Jolla news briefs.

the other day and say, ‘I attain a certain level of internal understanding while I’m on the bike spinning,’” said Drake, who has a master’s degree in exercise science and has been a competitive cyclist on the international scene. “They said, ‘I get lost in my thoughts and I’m completely gone.’ When I come into this studio, I may be carrying something with me. By the time I walk out, I feel great with a renewed sense of purpose, feeling and courage.’”

Drake said his students find they’re more fit after losing themselves in his choreographed spinning sessions, which he describes as “concerts in motion.”

“The class I do is a slow progression,” said the fitness instructor.

Dealing with pupils, some of whom “have never really spun before,” while others are “exceptionally good,” Drake works hard to balance the class out.

“We start out classes the same way: the first song is your warm up, the second is transitioning, by the third song you’re really moving and the fourth, fifth and sixth songs you’re always climbing extremely hard,” Drake said, noting he also balances contemporary music with classic rock, even slipping in occasional tunes from the 1950s and ’60s to keep things interesting.

CYCLE THE DAY AWAY Breakaway Cycle is celebrating its one-year anniversary this month on Fay Ave.

Drake said it takes a while to attain a level of fitness “that allows you to internalize things, become more in tune with who you are as a person.”

Studio cycling and spinning are group classes taught on stationary bicycles. The popular spinning program, invented by ultradistance cyclist Johnny G. and licensed by Schwinn, manufactures the bikes used.

Group cycling classes follow the same basic pattern: Participants pedal a stationary bike while the instructor talks them through a visualization of an outdoor work-

out. During the class, the pace and intensity vary, with pedaling speeds ranging from as fast as possible to pedaling slowly from a standing position.

There are lots of ways to burn calories, said Drake, noting spinning is among them and one of the lower-stress alternatives.

“It’s a non-weight-bearing situa-

tion and is extremely high cardiovascular,” he said. “The idea is you want the metabolism to turn over.”

Each spinning instructor’s class is different because they all bring something unique from their personal backgrounds, said Drake. The benchmarks of his classes are the science he brings to bear and his emphasis on endurance.

And then, of course, there’s the music, which Drake believes spurs people to try harder and achieve more.

“A lot of people want to come to a workout if there’s a flow and a rhythm in the class,” he said. “You can get people to do things they would never do on their own if they were just listening to music themselves.”

Drake also hopes his competitive cycling background rubs off on his clients.

“I have a 75-minute Sunday class for athletes, which comes from training I received at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado,” he said. “I bring ideas from there, combined with stuff I know actually works, and make it palatable for them to come in, utilize it and then take it out and have some success on the road.”

The San Diego French-American School invites prospective parents to an open house to visit the preschool, kindergarten and first-grade classes on Wednesday, Nov. 13 from 8:30 to 10 a.m.

Visitors can learn about the benefits of a bilingual curriculum

Obregon said he chased Farmer 1 to 2 miles over four minutes. A police helicopter was also overhead and was able to spot Farmer after he turned on Prospect Place and allegedly attempted to hide. Obregon said he arrested Farmer for driving on a suspended license and with no insurance.

Another motorcyclist, Javlon Mamajonov, testified as a defense witness. He said he was riding in the group and the officer did not turn on his siren. Mamajonov said the officer flashed a red light, but no one in the group knew whom the officer wanted to pull over.

Farmer’s attorney, Robert Sagerian, told O’Neill that Farmer’s motorcycle didn’t have mirrors so he didn’t see the officer wanted to pull him over. He unsuccessfully asked O’Neill to reduce the felony evasion charge to a misdemeanor.

Motorcyclist involved in La Jolla high-speed chase jailed By NEAL PUTNAM A motorcyclist believed to be the organizer of a group of motorcyclists who rode at high speeds on North Torrey Pines Road sparking complaints was jailed Oct. 29 after a judge ruled he was in violation of probation in an unrelated domestic violence case.

Shadrach Daniel Farmer, 31, of Lakeside, had been free on $50,000 bond following his Oct. 10 arrest after he was charged with evading police with reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.

There were complaints from La Jolla residents of motorcyclists riding at high speeds.

“He’s the organizer of the Thursday night rides,” said San Diego Superior Court Judge Robert O’Neill during the preliminary hearing.

Police officer Anthony Obregon testified he used a radar device to clock Farmer going 77 mph in a 45 mph zone at 10:15 p.m. on Torrey Pines Road. Obregon testified he attempted to pull Farmer over and Farmer did drift to the right lane

O’Neill said Farmer’s license expired Nov. 28, 2012, and he failed to appear in court on June 15. He said Farmer refused a sobriety test during a May 24 traffic stop.

The judge jailed Farmer after noting that Farmer failed to perform five days of public work service and did not enroll as ordered into a 52week batterer course as part of his probation conditions. Farmer pleaded guilty to battery on his girlfriend on Aug. 16, 2012 and he originally received a suspended 180-day jail term.

Seaside Home undergoes studio makeover Seaside Home, San Diego’s award-winning, nationally recognized interior design atelier, has begun a re-branding process at its headquarters in La Jolla.

The process will include selling all of its $4 million inventory in order to re-set the floor with merchandise more conducive to a high-end, service-oriented interior design studio.

The store will officially reopen as Seaside Home, Studio of Interior Design at the start of 2014.

Meanwhile, Seaside Home will continue to serve its clients.

“The re-imagining of Seaside Home,” said Sheryll Jack-

man, “began with a merger of renowned La Jolla designer, Kathleen Buoymaster’s Studio, into Seaside Home, and the creation of a state-of-theart interior design library in June 2013. This was followed by affiliating with legendary interior designer Joanne Hutchinson in August.

Together, we are embarking on an entirely new concept for the San Diego region — the creation of an all-encompassing, service-centered, concierge-level interior design destination in the heart of La Jolla.”

Children’s Pool debate at a standstill until Coastal Commission weighs in

By DAVE SCHWAB

Both sides came to City Council chambers Oct. 29 to spar over a proposal to deny humans access to La Jolla’s Children’s Pool during the harbor seals’ five-month pupping season only to learn the bout had been postponed.

The city had proposed designating Casa Beach as an environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA) preparatory to closing it to public use Dec. 15 to May 15 during the marine mammals’ pupping season to protect the seal rookery from harassment.

But Todd Gloria unexpectedly postponed the controversial engagement.

Announcing that an 11th-hour letter from the California Coastal Commission had challenged the appropriateness of the ESHA procedure, the interim mayor said the hearing has been delayed at least until January.

The California Coastal Commission’s letter endorsed the substance of the city’s seasonal closure of the pool while opposing the

specific method proposed.

“While we are supportive of the city’s proposal to impose seasonal restrictions, including full beach closure to the public during the pupping season, we do not support an ESHA designation at Children’s Pool,” according to an excerpt from the commission’s letter.

The letter goes on to state that ESHA-designated pool areas would preclude numerous recreational activities for which the beach was created, including “sunbathing, accessing the water, passive recreational uses and possible repair/maintenance of the breakwater.”

“Under the Coastal Act, marine mammal protection and maxi-

mum public access are both mandated,” the letter concludes.

Pro-beach access Friends of Children’s Pool hailed the postponement of the Children’s Pool hearing as recognition “that the Children’s Pool is a unique area and that the city’s proposed ESHA is not appropriate,” adding the delayed hearing essentially “sends the item back to the drawing board.”

La Jolla Friends of the Seals disputed pro-beach access’s assessment of the situation, noting on its website, “The reason for the postponement is to bring the city and the California Coastal Commission into alignment on the strategy that accomplishes that goal ... which both agencies support. While this delay is unfortunate, we are not discouraged. In fact, we feel encouraged that once the strategy is finalized, beach closure during seal pupping season will be approved by the city and the California Coastal Commission.”

MAYORAL SPECIAL ELECTION: C A N D I DAT E STAT E M E N TS EDITOR’S NOTE: To better inform our readers about the political views of the four most prominent candidates in the Nov. 19 mayoral special election, the San Diego Community Newspaper Group developed a seven-pronged interview for the political hopefuls. The candidates queried were former City Attorney Mike Aguirre; District 8 City Councilman David Alvarez; District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer; and former state Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher.

Candidate: MIKE AGUIRRE (Former City Attorney) What is the greatest challenge/challenges facing our beach communities and how do you propose addressing this/them?

MIKE AGUIRRE A: Stormwater runoff fouls our beaches and bays every time it rains. New waterquality rules take effect in 2018. It will cost about $2.7 billion to make the upgrades. The city wants to increase homeowners’ monthly stormwater fees by more than 1,000 percent to pay for the upgrades, but the fee increase requires a vote, which will fail. The city will face up to $37,500 in daily fines when there’s runoff into the ocean. I will negotiate with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to phase in implementation of the regulations while increasing investment in storm-drain upgrades.

The homeless situation and the issues/problems associated with them continue to grow seemingly on a daily basis and are pervading nearly every neighborhood in San Diego. How do you propose to resolve the issue?

A: Homelessness is a regional issue. The county’s 18 cities and our county government should consolidate, coordinate and share efforts, including churches, nonprofits and other organizations. We can achieve higher efficiencies by working together, as well as pooling scarce resources and obtaining greater amounts of grant funding. In Orange County, funding is being provided through Proposition 10 (1998) that created a tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products to go to early childhood education. In addition, the county developed a “10-Year Plan to End Homelessness.” Participants identified about $4.5 million in additional county funds. We should explore a similar approach.

Medical marijuana dispensaries have been an ongoing controversy for years for the city, law enforcement, the dispensaries and those who believe medical marijuana is of benefit to them. How would you resolve/reconcile this controversy?

A: As a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, I support enforcing the law. In August 2013, the Deputy Attorney General provided “guidance … concerning marijuana enforcement,” which tacitly acknowledges states’ rights to permit and regulate marijuana. Regulations should be drafted that include Department of Justice concerns about preventing distribution to minors, diversion from states where

its legal to other states, “drugged driving,” and cultivation, possession or use on federal property. Additionally, local concerns about operation and location should be revisited.

However, until there is a commitment from the current U.S. Attorney to not file charges under the Controlled Substances Act, we cannot move forward.

Specifically in the Pacific Beach community, merchants and residents are divided over the issue of the proliferation of alcohol licensing for local pubs. What is your position?

A: We must adopt stricter measures for alcohol-serving establishments in the beach area. Instead of discretionary minor-use permits, the city Planning Commission should approve alcohol sales permits for bars, restaurants and liquor stores.

Businesses applying for an alcoholsales permit will be required to complete an operational management plan as a condition for the permit.

Failure to comply would result in enforceable actions. Establishments that obtained liquor licenses prior to the new requirement can’t be grandfathered in. Therefore, we would adopt a “deemed-approved” ordinance placing tighter rules on new and old alcohol-serving businesses by establishing performance standards.

In La Jolla, the matter of seals versus human access to beaches rages on year after year in the courts, the Coastal Commission and at the city level. As mayor, what policy would you advocate?

A: The city should have prevented the seals from colonizing Casa Beach in the 1990s. Now, the seals have taken over the area. In 2009, legislation permitted the City Council to establish Children’s Pool beach exclusively for use as a marine mammal sanctuary. Federal and state laws support closing the beach from December to May and installing a rope barrier across the beach during summer. There is not much more to be done other than ensuring that the rest of La Jolla’s beaches are protected from seal colonization.

What is the most crucial economic issue facing San Diego today and in the future, and how do you propose addressing this?

A: Budget decisions over the last four fiscal years allocated more money to be spent on 17,000 city retirees’ pensions than the city’s FireRescue Department. The unfunded pension debt is now at $8 billion. It currently costs every San Diego household almost $4,500 a year. On it’s current course, the cost will double within five years. At the same time, our streets are budgeted below current maintenance levels. Our infrastructure needs will cost more than $1 billion. We can’t maintain

basic city services if we don’t deal with the pension liability that is draining our general fund budget.

Would you advocate for further expansion of the San Diego International Airport and possibly a second runway? Why or why not?

A: The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority has studied expanding the existing runway or adding a second parallel runway and found both options to be infeasible. It would require significant acquisition of surrounding commercial and residential land, approximately 2,000 acres that is made up of just less than 600 acres of commercial industrial, 120 of institutional and 800 acres of residential, with the remainder falling into other categories. The population within the required area of acquisition is 18,600 residents. The technical study identified huge challenges with the concept, including land acquisition, social impacts, environmental impacts and operational concerns.

Candidate: DAVID ALVAREZ (City Councilman, District 8) What is the greatest challenge/challenges facing our beach communities and how do you propose addressDAVID ALVAREZ ing this/them?

A: San Diego needs a mayor who will make government work for every neighborhood, including our beach communities. As mayor, I’ll invest in the beach neighborhoods, create jobs, support schools and give everyone the respect and dignity they deserve from their government. Our coastline is one of San Diego’s most incredible resources and my Blueprint for San Diego’s Future includes a vision to ensure our beaches and waterways are clean. I’ll invest in water technology to stop dumping sewage into the ocean and implement lowimpact development projects to clean runoff before it gets to the ocean, rivers and bays.

The homeless situation and the issues/problems associated with them continue to grow seemingly on a daily basis and are pervading nearly every neighborhood in San Diego. How do you propose to resolve the issue?

A: The city has made strides in providing additional homeless services in recent years. The temporary winter shelter and the recently opened permanent year-round shelter offer wrap-around services aimed at helping homeless toward

self-sufficiency. However, these projects are not enough. We must provide year-round services throughout the entire city. As mayor, I’ll put pressure on the county, state, and federal governments to provide more funding for services to the homeless and help with mental health and addiction, as well as providing job training.

I’ll also ensure the city invests in more affordable housing to help working families afford a place to live in our city.

Medical marijuana dispensaries have been an ongoing controversy for years for the city, law enforcement, the dispensaries and those who believe medical marijuana is of benefit to them. How would you resolve/reconcile this controversy?

A: Patients with medical conditions requiring medicinal cannabis deserve to have safe access under the law. But we must fairly regulate dispensaries to provide that access while preventing any of our communities from being unfairly overburdened with them. As mayor, I would support a law that regulates and sets clear guidelines and operating standards for dispensaries. This ordinance should also address tax revenue derived from the legal sale of marijuana to provide cost recovery for city inspection and enforcement activities and set penalties for dispensaries that break the law.

Specifically in the Pacific Beach community, merchants and residents are divided over the issue of the proliferation of alcohol licensing for local pubs. What is your position?

A: To address the oversaturation of alcohol licenses in particular communities, I’ll work closely with our police chief to ensure that police department review of alcohol license applications more heavily weights the number of existing licenses in the area. This review will determine the balance of community convenience and necessity for additional licenses. However, the city must be sensitive to the needs and desires of each individual community, as some neighborhoods may desire fewer licenses, while others may be looking to attract new investment through new restaurants or stores, which may need to sell alcohol. I’ll look to our community planning groups for recommendations regarding alcohol licenses.

In La Jolla, the matter of seals versus human access to beaches rages on year after year in the courts, the Coastal Commission and at the city level. As mayor, what policy would you advocate?

A: It is clear to me that the South Casa Beach deserves special protection as a habitat area for the

seals that currently exist there, especially during pupping season.

As such, I support the city’s current plan to install a rope barrier on Casa Beach during pupping season to protect both seals and people.

What is the most crucial economic issue facing San Diego today and in the future, and how do you propose addressing this?

A: San Diegans need more employment opportunities. Many have suffered during the recession and are out of work or underemployed. Our neighborhoods have been left behind because of a lack of investment and a blurred economic vision that favored only big downtown projects. In my Blueprint for San Diego’s Future, I present a clear vision to support entrepreneurs and small businesses that make up the backbone of our economy. As mayor, I’ll create public-private partnerships to spark neighborhood investment and revitalization, targeting employers in high-growth sectors.

I’ll also present a big-picture plan to grow our cross-border economy and build partnerships with Asia.

Would you advocate for further expansion of the San Diego International Airport and possibly a second runway? Why or why not?

A: I currently serve as one of the city representatives on the San Diego Regional Airport Authority where we oversee airport operations and capital improvements. I know that there is simply not enough room for an additional runway at Lindbergh Field. Our best strategy moving forward is to utilize the airport capacity we have there, much more effectively like we’ve done with the Green Build expansion of Terminal 2. This project involved more than 7,000 workers and more than $415 million in contracts awarded to local businesses, while utilizing available space to increase productivity.

Candidate: KEVIN FAULCONER (City Councilman, District 2) What is the greatest challenge/challenges facing our beach communities and how do you propose addressing KEVIN FAULCONER this/them?

A: The beach communities include some of San Diego’s oldest neighborhoods and, like many urban communities, have significant infrastructure challenges, including needed street and neighborhood repairs. This is because past city leaders prioritized unsustainable

pensions over investments in our neighborhoods. As your councilmember, I’ve been proud to work to improve San Diego’s beach and urban communities. As mayor, I will take that approach citywide. I am committed to cutting government waste at City Hall and investing the savings not in unaffordable employee pay, but into rebuilding our streets, water and sewer pipes, streetlights and crumbling sidewalks, boardwalk and seawall.

The homeless situation and the issues/problems associated with them continue to grow seemingly on a daily basis and are pervading nearly every neighborhood in San Diego. How do you propose to resolve the issue?

A: I’m proud of the work I’ve done to help solve homelessness in our community, including leading the effort to open the city’s first permanent, year-round homeless service center downtown. It’s more than a shelter — it’s a “one-stop shop” that provides medical care, job training and other rehabilitative services to end the cycle of homelessness. I also helped the Monarch school, which serves homeless students, secure a new location so it can continue to change lives. I remain committed to solving homelessness in our communities and, as mayor, I will work to create policies that achieve this goal.

Medical marijuana dispensaries have been an ongoing controversy for years for the city, law enforcement, the dispen-

saries and those who believe medical marijuana is of benefit to them. How would you resolve/rec oncile this controversy?

A: I believe we need to offer compassionate care to individuals who need treatment, while keeping marijuana dispensaries a safe distance from schools, parks and children. For years, I worked with my City Council colleagues to find a fair and sustainable solution and offered an ordinance that allowed for dispensaries — mostly in industrial zones that don’t impact our neighborhoods.

Under the [resigned Mayor Bob] Filner administration, we saw a proliferation of these facilities in our communities due to a lack of regulation.

As mayor, I will work for a fair solution that protects our neighborhoods and families.

Specifically in the Pacific Beach community, merchants and residents are divided over the issue of the proliferation of alcohol licensing for local pubs. What is your position?

A: As mayor, I will work with state regulators and the police department to ensure that any establishment that has an alcohol license is acting responsibly. There are many well-run restaurants and bars in the area — the key is full enforcement of the regulations for any establishments that aren’t following the rules.

San Diegans will always have a seat at the table in my administration, and I’m committed to working together with beach businesses and

News neighbors to protect our quality of life.

In La Jolla, the matter of seals versus human access to beaches rages on year after year in the courts, the Coastal Commission and at the city level. As mayor, what policy would you advocate?

A: I believe this beach is one of San Diego’s greatest assets, and seals and humans should be able to coexist peacefully. I support closing the beach during pupping season to protect the health and safety of the baby seals. I also support preserving — and improving — public access during other parts of the year.

What is the most crucial economic issue facing San Diego today and in the future, and how do you propose addressing this?

A: The lack of regulatory certainty facing San Diego businesses is harming our ability to grow our economy and create good-paying jobs. We must streamline the permitting process so that businesses can thrive. As mayor, I will update the city’s community plans to stimulate economic development through streamlined review processes and building incentives. I will also fight against tax increases that would negatively impact the expansion of small businesses and cost us jobs. I will continue to work to protect the jobs we have, including in the tourism economy, life-sciences sector and on the working waterfront.

Would you advocate for further expansion of the San Diego International Airport and possibly a second runway? Why or why not?

A: I have strongly opposed the misguided concept of adding a second runway at Lindbergh Field because of the devastating effects it would have on nearby homes and businesses. I would continue that approach as mayor. San Diego’s airport is key to local economic activity.

I support improvements to Lindbergh Field, but, unfortunately, the geographical constraints around the airport make additional expansion difficult.

NEWSBRIEFS >> DRIVER RELEASED IN FATALITY OF PB MAN IN UC — An ill driver who allegedly killed a retired Pacific Beach man in University City when she ran through a red light was released from jail Oct. 31 after her attorney argued she needed medical care not provided in jail.

The driver, Soranon Booppanon, 39, of San Diego, appeared three times in a wheelchair in San Diego Superior Court since the Oct. 23 crash, which killed George Matteson, 77, and seriously injured his wife, Betty Matteson, 74.

Booppanon has pleaded not guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while under the influence of prescription drugs. Her attorney claimed Booppanon was driving herself to a medical appointment at 10:30 a.m. when she collided with Matteson and another car at the intersection of La Jolla Villa Drive and Genesee Avenue.

Attorney Kevin Milmoe told Judge Jay Bloom on Oct. 30 that Booppanon was not receiving her liver medication in jail and she needed to get out of jail for treatment. Another attorney made the same argument the next day and Judge David Szumowski ordered her released on her own recognizance.

Deputy District Attorney Mackenzie Harvey argued that $100,000 bail, which was set at her arraignment on Oct. 25, should remain the same.

After ordering her release, Szumowski ordered Booppanon not to drive and to have someone take her to medical appointments. She agreed to those conditions. Her attorney said she now has no vehicle as it was damaged in the crash.

A preliminary hearing was set for Thursday, Nov. 7, although it may be delayed. At her arraignment, Booppanon was crying and tearfully told the prosecutor to tell the victims she was sorry.

INFORMATION CENTER — The La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) announced it has subleased part of the group’s office space at 1162 Prospect St. to generate needed revenue.

“LJVMA has executed a sublease for our back office space with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty,” said LJVMA’s executive director Sheila Fortune. “We are very pleased to have them as a sub-tenant. They will pay a rate of $6,500 per month and split the utilities and maintenance 50/50.”

Fortune said the sub-lease will enable LJVMA to operate with reduced overhead expenses necessitated by a reduction in grants and advertising income over 2013.

Sotheby’s took possession of the office space Nov. 1, but Steve Games, Pacific Sotheby’s board chairman, said the Realty won’t be completely moved in until Nov. 15.

Games said the arrangement is a good fit.

“We’re looking forward to being very complementary to the information center,” said Games.

The information center’s location also isn’t bad.

“Being in between La Valencia and George’s, it doesn’t get much better,” Games said.

Games said Sotheby’s staff will assist LJVMA with helping visitors find restaurants and stores while serving their real-estate needs, which he noted frequently begin with an Internet search.

“We think this location will give us an opportunity to put a face and a company with the Internet,” Games said. “We think we can help all of the companies in La Jolla sell real estate.”

Bay Wine and Food Fest to mark 10th anniversary of culinary creativity

f

or the last decade, the San Diego Bay Wine and Food Festival has been showcasing America’s Finest City and it’s coming of age as a culinary powerhouse. The festival returns Nov. 18-24, featuring more than 200 wine, beer and spirit purveyors, 70 of San Diego’s finest restaurants and 30 gourmet food companies.

“This is our 10th anniversary and we have to turn up the heat,” said event organizer Michelle Metter.

Started as an idea by a couple of foodies who were out to create an event to bring together people who love to eat and drink, the festival has grown to attract more than 10,000 people annually.

About one-third of the participants come from out of town, said Metter, a huge boon to the local tourist economy in a historically slower off-season. The annual economic impact to the city is estimated to be $3.5 million.

“We always had that hope that we would be able to last and build an event that people found exciting enough year after year to come back,” said Metter.

This year, organizers have mixed in a few new ingredients to celebrate the milestone.

The festival will kick off with a black-tie Celebrity Chef Dinner and Big Bottle Live Auction to raise money for culinary scholarships. The event, previously a luncheon, has raised close to $300,000 to educate the next generation of chefs. Ten acclaimed chefs will put together a six-course meal for this dinner, held downtown at the Marriott Marquis & Marina. Each table will be hosted by a different winery that has specially selected wines to pair with the courses.

“It’s very exciting to celebrate our city and the wonderful wine and food festival,” said Bernard Guillas, executive chef of the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club and La Jolla’s Marine Room restaurant.

Guillas, who has been involved in the festival since its inception, is helping coordinate the gala dinner.

“The festival is a very well-respected and blossoming event. Nationwide, it has become the buzz,” said Guillas. “[The founders] had the vision and together, every year, we strive to make it better and better.”

A new feature in recent years has been smaller, more exclusive tasting events. This year, for example, Maison Louis Latour president Bernard Retornaz will host an intimate double nine-year vertical tasting of Burgundy wines. As another option, Chateau Montelana Winery VP Brian Baker will host a vertical tasting luncheon at Bertrand at Mister A’s, limited to 12 guests.

For those who are a little old-fashioned, bourbon whiskey smiths Nathan Stanton and Anthony Schmidt will host a hands-on bartending seminar at the “Pappy Van Winkle tasting experience.”

Not to be overlooked on its home turf is San Diego’s craft-beer scene. Stone Brewery’s new Point Loma location at Liberty Station will host a class themed “Master Pairings: Beer and Cheese” during the festival, led by Stone’s Beer Sommelier, “Dr. Bill” Sysak. Afterward, Stone will hold a fish taco and craft-beer pairing, with a winner-take-all Fish Taco TKO Competition — a battle to determine San Diego’s best.

Cooking Light Magazine has been a major sponsor of the festival, and this year effort has been made to try to integrate some active options to counterbalance the week of indulgence. The festival’s first Fit Foodie 5K Race” will take place along the Embarcadero on Saturday, Nov. 23. On Sunday, Nov. 24, fitness personality Kristin McGee will host Sunrise Yoga and Brunch.

The largest stop on the festival tour, as always, is a Grand Tasting event held Saturday, Nov. 23 at Marina Park North behind Seaport Village. This expansive wine and food fair includes a Chef of the Fest Competition for cash and prizes, and hundreds of wines, beers and spirits.

Heels2Heal celebrated its fourth annual Charity Gala on Oct. 19.

Held at the private La Jolla estate of Alex and Laleh Roudi, the event featured a fashion show with New York fashion designer Yigal Azrouël. The evening began with a social hour and delicious bites from San Diego restaurants and caterers, with CBS Channel 8 morning anchor Dan Cohen opening the show.

As the event began, Go Country 105 radio host Shawn Parr emceed the live auction. A bidding war began on two exclusive frontrow tickets to the Yigal Azrouël 2014 runway show at New York Fashion Week, and in the end, three of these packets were given to lucky audience members.

The finale of the evening was the much-anticipated fashion show, produced by Kapture Vision and showcasing Azrouël’s spring 2014 collection. The catwalk filled with knockout black-and-white outfits accented with chartreuse, to which the audience responded with wild cheers and applause. For more information, visit yigalazrouel.com.

Proceeds for the night went to Miracle Babies, a nonprofit that gives help to families with critically ill newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit. One of the recipients was on hand with her baby to praise Miracle Babies for their assistance. For more information, visit www.miraclebabies.org.

From Lori Bell to

Daniel Jackson and in between, Zlalkovich has accompanied the best in town. While his sets at Eddie V’s are a bit more reserved than say, one of his appearances at Dizzy’s, the intimate V lounge is still a wonderful way to experience the man and his craft.

with Vincent Andrunas In 1904, New York court clerk Ernest Coulter, recognizing that caring adults could help steer kids away from trouble, started a volunteer movement that eventually became Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

A San Diego chapter began in 1961, and now operates multiple innovative programs focused on giving young people the guidance, mentoring, and positive role models that increasing numbers of today’s parents cannot, or do not, provide for their own children. More than 1,725 local children will have mentors this year because of San Diego’s “Bigs” chapter — but more than 500 kids remain on the waiting list.

More than 600 people attended the Bigs’ 51st annual Gourmet Dinner fundraiser recently at the Hyatt Aventine. Chaired by John Frager and themed “Mission Possible — Agents of Change,” it began with “shaken, not stirred” martinis, Montesquieu wines, a seafood buffet featuring sushi and huge shrimp, and a large silent auction.

Later, guests enjoyed a seated dinner featuring tournedos of beef. A program included entertaining videos of the organization’s work, Bigs and their Littles sharing their stories on stage, a 13-item live auction, and a donation paddle-raise.

>> CONT. FROM PG. 1

ated from the school.

“They didn’t have a library or a librarian,” said Ahern, a longtime member of the Friends of La Jolla Elementary School Foundation board. “I came up with the idea (farmers market) two years before I started working on it.”

Ahern said starting the farmers market to raise funds to spare music and arts from the budget-cutting knife was “like inventing the wheel because it had never been done before at a school.”

The first hurdle to be cleared was creating a 501(c)3 nonprofit to operate and maintain the market.

Establishing the market from scratch was like tiptoeing through a mine field. Ahern said more than a few mistakes were made early on.

“We started in the fall, which you never should do because it’s cold at the end of the growing season,” she said. “It was also the rainiest winter we’d had in 25 years. I think it rained nine Sundays out of the first 10.”

But focus and persistence paid off and “we never lost a nickel,” she said.

Fifteen years later, the market continues to thrive and La Jolla Elementary School now has a library and a librarian, and offers art, music and physical education programming.

Ahern said she was inspired by La Jolla’s past to create another school fundraising event.

“I could always remember La Jolla being an artist’s village and people painting on easels down by the ocean,” she said. “I felt we needed to go back to our art roots.”

In 2008, at the height of the real estate and banking recession with huge state budget cuts coming down for local schools, Ahern set out to create the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, benefiting La Jolla, Bird Rock and Torrey Pines elementary schools.

Five years later it has grown to the point where this year “we had to turn away 250 artists,” said Ahern.

“We plan on growing it.”

As far as reviving the La Jolla Community Center, Ahern said a core group of volunteers set out to resuscitate the facility, which had the stigma of being a “senior center.”

“My goal is to get everyone in La Jolla over the age of 25 to see the place,” said Ahern, noting the new and improved center is now “very sophisticated and cultured,” with a commercial kitchen offering a wide array of educational and entertainment options to members and guests.

Reflecting on having created two signature community events while having helped save and transform an iconic facility, Ahern said she believes all three efforts played to her most important strength.

“What I’m best known for is networking,” she said. “My life is all about networking.”

Bird’s surf scoop Time for winter surf U.S.–Japan space out for watery mission Photo by Goulding/jagmediaproductions.com

Bird Huffman fter a prolonged summer of warm weather and water, the winter seems to be starting to settle in for the surf world.

Although this may seem sad to many ocean lovers, the vast majority of wave riders welcome it with arms wide open. After what has to go down as the worst summer ever for surf, San Diego’s well overdue for a good winter of waves.

Now is the time to check your gear out and tune it up for the waves to come. Look over all of your boards carefully. Strip them of wax, look for damaged areas needing repair that you have neglected since last winter. Spotpatch the small stuff if you know how or take your boards over to Joe Ropers Board Repair shop on Morena Boulevard

A

across the street from the Circle K market. Joe and his trained crew can fix anything, but it takes time to do it the proper way. Being the No. 1 board repairman in San Diego for around 40 years, he is always busy. Expect him to have your board for a while to get the job done right, though rush orders can be negotiated.

It might be a good time as well to check on the quality and condition of your leash. Winter waves are stronger and longer and a leash failure could spoil a whole session or more if the board ends up getting hammered on the reef areas or jetties.

Take a look at your fin system closely, as well. Back the set screws out and re-tighten to make sure that a replacement fin or a new style can be taken out and reinstalled quickly to minimize time out of the water trying to fix a stripped or frozen screw.

Break out last year’s full suit and look for any wear and tear areas that might be covered under warranty. If found, send it in now, as others in the same situation will be sending theirs in, too, thus clogging up all of the

WINTERY MISSION As the world turns, the NASA– JAXA core-research satellite will be launched as part of the Global Precipitation Mission, orbiting Earth along with other internationally launched satellites to provide global rain and snow data at three-hour intervals.

COURTESY

When I entered NASA’s “Let it Snow” international photo competition as part of a climate studies course, I didn’t expect to win. My tongue-in-cheek photo depicted drifts of snowlike seafoam washed ashore. A month later, when I received email congratulations for my winning photo, now a permanent fixture on NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement webpage (http://pmm.nasa.gov/node/763), I decided to find out what was behind the seemingly whimsical contest.

Turns out, it’s an exciting joint project between the U.S. and Japan, which will make for a game-changer in the near future of weather and climate forecasting and understanding.

SURF CHILL Time to break out the full wetsuits and pray for some winter swells.

wetsuit repair facilities and possibly leaving you without a suit for a month or more.

This might be the time to break into the piggy bank and spend the cash on this year’s warmest new suit (reference my last article for those details).

The message here is to be prepared! Finally surf is coming our way and after more than three months of almost nothing to ride, it’s time to get back on the program and catch some waves.

Till next time, Bird

Presently, it seems we are bombarded with wayward weather reports, leading many of us believe we are better weather forecasters than the experts. But our experts could do better at tracking weather as it forms, moves, intensifies and abates if they not only had access to a massively larger set of weather observations but that said data were continually updated since weather can change on a dime.

To bring this to reality would require many more weather satellites than we have or can afford to operate. More weather satellites do orbit the planet but they are owned

Hair Extensions FAQ How Do You Match Extensions to a Clients Existing Color?

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

How Do You Customize Extensions for a Client With Thinning Hair ?

Use an extension with a smaller attachment bond and a single strand application process so the hair is not damaged and can hold the weight of the extension. This will give natural looking volume and length to thinning hair. cont’d on page 21

What type of hair extensions do you use?

Judy uses Great Lengths all-natural hair extensions and prefers these extensions because they are created from 100% human hair and use a unique, application process that attaches a bond of protein the same molecular structure as your hair. This application process does not harm your own hair . While others use techniques such as welding,waxing, gluing or knotting,which strain your hair to a high degree Judy uses a much more gentle principle called modulating. An extremely hightech method of bonding the hair strand to your own hair. Extensions can be used for volumising, lengthening, colouring or simply adding texture; Judy will offer a free consultation guiding you through your new style.

Whether creating a new look, following fashion or with a special occasion on the horizon. Judy’s hair extensions have over 55 colours to choose from and blend with your own hair for perfect colour matches. Most importantly your own hair will not be damaged and the extensions can be easily removed by an expert.

Can extensions damage my hair?

No, they will not. Actually, even very fine and damaged hair can become healthier if you’re wearing hair extensions because they will protect your hair from things that could damage it

WINTER WONDERLAND Judith Garfield’s winning photo in NASA’s “Let it Snow” international photo competition, taken at La Jolla Shores. Winter storms bring extreme tides, which interact in a singular way with the ocean’s giant kelp to create a snowfall with a twist. Winds whip up the ocean, causing kelp strands to break, which releases their alginate (a nontoxic, viscous substance) into the water.

The slippery alginate is like bubble bath, and the churning ocean is like a faucet of running water. The resulting suds, called seafoam, pile up on the water’s surface.

Onshore winds then blow the meringue to shore. As the tide ebbs, a winter wonderland is left in its wake. ©2013 JUDITH LEA GARFIELD

I see now that NASA’s photo competition was not the least bit frivolous because it not only brings awareness of the program but the GPM website will allow the public access to the same Core satellite data as the experts.

For more information, visit pmm.nasa.gov/GPM/science-objectives.

like curling irons, blow dryers, styling heat and environmental damage.

Because of the unique application bonding system, the extensions can be easily removed. This is different than many hair extension methods that bond too tightly to your hair. Those old methods can lead to hair breakage when being removed. Judy’s La Jolla hair extensions are joined to your natural hair by using a safe, all-natural, keratin protein bond application system.

Are extensions uncomfortable?

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

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

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

Judy will recommend hair care products, brushes, combs and appliances for use at home. Hairstyling is very similar to how you style your hair without extensions. www.hairextensionsoflajolla.com Contact Judy in La Jolla today for answers to any more of your hair extensions questions.

and operated by other countries, and each collects data independently of one another. That’s not terribly efficient because the data can’t be shared because the data sets are customized to each country’s own standards (connecting observations from one system to another would be akin to trying to standardize a wallet containing dollars, Euros, rupees and sheckles).

What to do?

Enter the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, a joint undertaking by NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), with cooperation from a consortium of international space agencies with their own orbiting weather satellites. The mission involves launching a “Core Observatory” research satellite next year, which will carry the first instruments able to make three-dimensional measurements of precipitation from space.

The Core will also act as a sort-of Grand Central Station (i.e., the reference standard) for worldwide weather sharing by collecting and unifying all incoming global rain and snow observations from the consortium’s satellites to make them meaningful. These data will be updated every three hours (how long it takes for all the satellites to observe precipitation over the entire globe).

What the GPM mission gets us for our money will advance our scientific understanding of Earth’s water and energy cycle, meaning we can expect improved climate models, which will translate to improved regional weather and precipitation forecasts and warnings (a welcome development).

To date, it has been the Wild West up in the sky in terms of weather satellites but now we are on a (GPM) mission to follow the water. Knowing where and how much precipitation falls globally is vital to our understanding of the complexities that make up weather and climate, which impact all life on Earth (seafoam formation being just one remarkable example).

Don’t second guess — just enjoy and be happy

Inside REAL ESTATE Charles Schevker & Natasha Alexander

In a previous article I mentioned that I own a Porsche. Whenever there is a discussion about car buying, especially among men, there is always someone who swears they purchased a new car and made such a good deal that the dealer lost money. Now if this brings satisfaction to that person, then let them think so because you and I know differently — car dealers do not lose money on any deal.

When I bought my most recent Porsche, I walked into the showroom saying, “I want that exact car. I have a trade-in, this is my bottom-line number and I do not care how you divide internal profits between your new-car and used-car departments.”

I could have second-guessed my decision, but I did not care if I paid more than the next guy. I realize that the car dealership needs to win something, and at the same time I need to win something.

Oh sure, maybe I could have negotiated

harder for an extra $500 or so, and, well, perhaps while I was negotiating, someone else could have come along and bought my car from underneath me. I have since enjoyed that car for the last seven years and whatever additional monies I would have benefited by tougher negotiation is now meaningless to me.

We witness similar events in real estate.

Oftentimes, when buyers are in strong competition for a house, they refuse to offer just a few thousand dollars more that might ensure them winning the deal. Rather, their attitude of “I am king because I have the money,” or “I am not going to let that seller make money off of me” (which, by the way is so self-defeating), allows others to slide in and seal the deal for themselves.

Make no mistake about it — we work extremely hard for our clients. While you may not get “the best price” (because it changes by circumstance), ask the question of yourself: is it more important to get the house you really want, or lose it for a few thousand dollars? Believe it or not, most deals are lost over a small amount compared to the overall price.

Let’s reframe that. If you had to pay $5,000 or $10,000 or $100,000 more than you wanted and if you plan to stay in that house happily for 5 or 10 or 20 years, how much does that amortize per year? It may not be more than a few gallons of gasoline at today’s prices. Don’t second guess — just enjoy and be happy.

What about sellers? We spend many hours preparing marketing data to assist our selling clients to decide the right listing price for their house.

There are several pricing strategies that yield different results. Most times we receive offers at or near full-listing price within days of placing the property for sale. Oh, at first the seller is overjoyed. Then in about two weeks time, the seller begins to make statements like, “I’m just wondering … if we had listed my house at 5 percent higher, would anyone have bought it at that price?”

The answer is … nobody knows. Perhaps, had the house been listed at a higher price, fewer people would have been interested, and maybe no one would have made an offer. There are many possible scenarios. The point again is, don’t second guess — just

enjoy, be happy and be thankful that you were able to move forward quickly with your future plans.

Every decision we make — and there are thousands daily — are subject to second guessing. Each of us has to decide what is of greater importance, and we all seek satisfaction in different ways. Don’t let secondguessing impede your ability to charge forward with your plans.

Here is one thing not to second-guess — selecting the right real-estate agent. Be sure to hire a competent, knowledgeable, ethical and results-driven real-estate agent, and allow them to serve as your business partner.

REAL ESTATEROUNDUP >> Keller Williams Realty celebrates 30, finds new home in La Jolla Keller Williams Realty Celebrated its 30th birthday on Oct. 18, as well as the grand opening of Keller Williams Realty La Jolla.

Keller Williams Realty opened its newest San Diego-based independent luxury franchise at 7817 Ivanhoe Ave., just two months before the international company turned 30 years old.

With a net gain of 12,000 associates in the past year, Keller Williams Realty is now the largest real-estate franchise in North America.

“We are not a company of com-

placency,” CEO Mark Willis said.

“We have the best business model in the industry and it’s leading to increased productivity, profitability and profit sharing that are at alltime highs for our company and unrivaled in our industry.”

In recent months, Keller Williams Realty has shattered its monthly records for listings taken, contracts written, commissions earned, owner profit and profit share.

Year over year, units are up 8 percent, closed volume is up 17 percent and gross commission

income is up 18 percent.

Ninety-five percent of the company’s offices are profitable year to date — a figure that far outpaces the standard for franchise businesses.

In the past 12 months, the company has distributed $58 million in profit share to associates, a 33 percent increase over the previous year.

of milestones for the company: • The release of the Keller Williams mobile app, personally branded for each of the company’s 90,000 associates. In the past 30 days, more than 58,000 consumers have downloaded the app to their Apple and Android devices.

• Publication of co-founder Gary Keller’s new book, “The ONE Thing,” which has appeared on 117 bestseller lists, including The New York Times, where it has been on the business bestseller list for five months, and The Wall Street Journal, where it earned the No. 1 spot.

Willis used concepts from “The ONE Thing” to illustrate his presentation, which took place at Mega Camp, the real-estate industry’s premier educational and networking event for top producers.

“Keller Williams leaders, what you’re doing is lining up a perfect domino run,” he said. “Being No. 1 in agent count in the United States was our first domino. We’re

on our way to knocking over bigger and bigger dominos until we’re No. 1 in agent count, transactions and volume all across the world.”

Keller Williams Worldwide President Chris Heller also announced the company’s expansion into the United Kingdom.

In recent years, the company’s global division has announced franchise agreements in Austria, Germany, Indonesia, Southern Africa, Switzerland, Turkey and Vietnam.

Heller touted the achievements of the company’s regions outside of North America and welcomed more than 100 international guests from countries, including Brazil, China, Colombia, Ghana, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Poland and Russia.

“Around the globe, entrepreneurs, brokers and agents are looking for and asking for what we offer,” Heller said. “They crave our models, systems, training and technology. And because Keller Williams can offer all of those at a level they have never seen before, we are attracting tremendous talent and gaining momen-

tum.”

Keller Williams is offering some of the newest technological advances in real estate, as well.

New technology deliverables for consumers include: • The ability to search both online, and through a mobile app, for homes based on criteria or by custom drawing on an interactive map • GPS localized data displays homes in a given area that match the consumer's price range • The ability to easily swipe through galleries of photos to decide whether a home fits one’s needs and then add it to saved searches for convenient reference on the app or via the agent’s website, where the saved searches are synced • The ability to save notes on properties for future reference; and • Faster communication between agents and consumers via call, text or email.

Benefiting the India Flood Victims

by Harcourts Prestige Properties La Jolla Please RSVP by Nov. 10, 2013 The river Ganges is home to thousands of villages, farms, temples and ashrams. In the last several months, floods and landslides have destroyed many of them, and claimed tens of thousands of lives. The number of victims are especially great because, at this time of year, thousands of people come to this region from all over India to visit holy sites.

April 2012, Siva Sculpture

Our ashram here in San Diego has a close relationship with Mini Ki Reti, Rishikesh, a town with many After flood - June 2013 temples and ashram along the river, which has been hard hit. However, higher up in the mountains the situation is much worse, and our friends in Muni Ki Reti are bringing desperately needed food and medical assistance to those who are stranded.

This is a rare opportunity for us here in San Diego to make tax deductible donations and know that 100% of our aid is going directly to those in need, not to administrative or other organizational costs. The relief work we are contributing to is being organized and managed by completely reliable people who are at Nataraja Yoga Ashram have know for over 20 years.

Doing Who do you want to be when you grow up? it Better

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. Whether you’re just out of school, changing jobs, or re-entering the job market, the first thing you need to think about is not only what jobs are available, but what kind of person you are. What are the necessary conditions for you to do your best work? What about you should be most highly valued?

What are your objectives? Do you want to earn the most money immediately, or do you want a position with the most opportunities for advancement? Is the work climate important to you? Think about it.

Write down the minimum acceptable salary in terms of your lifestyle.

Be realistic. Ask yourself how far you want to go. In other words, how high up is the top for you? Do you aspire to be a CEO or would you rather supervise only a few people?

Would you prefer to be a member of a work group, or do you work best when you are alone?

Where would you like to work?

You may like certain parts of the country, either because it is what’s familiar to you and you already have established friendships and family or because you want to go to a new place. Do you prefer mountains or the seacoast, a warm or cold climate, an urban or rural setting?

Give some thought to the kind of organization you’d like to work for.

There are a couple of issues to consider: First, would you prefer working for a large company or a small one? Some of the answers may be found within your own experience.

Did you enjoy attending a small school or a large one? Are you more comfortable with anonymity or intimacy? Contrary to expectations, you can find friendships while working in a close-knit unit of a large company. At first glance, it might seem that there will be more oppor-

tunities for you in a large company, but it is also possible to get stuck, forever, in the lower rungs. In a small company you are more visible, and, if you do well, you’ll have a chance to move up, unless there is simply no room at the top.

Do you want to work for a manufacturing company or for a service organization? Although there is usually more money to be earned in industry than in service or nonprofit, they also tend to have different corporate cultures.

Think of what kind of work atmosphere you would like. Would you prefer a traditional organiza-

tion, very formal and structured, such as a bank or insurance company? Or would you feel more comfortable in an innovative organization, such as an advertising agency or a firm on the edge of new electronic technology? In these places, creativity is rewarded but the anxiety level is higher. Decide whether you enjoy the challenge of being a pathfinder or whether you would rather leave those hassles to others and follow an already beaten track.

What feels too risky for one person is no risk at all for another.

Another major question you should ask yourself is “What can I

Think in terms of where and when you have felt most appreciated, most skilled, most knowledgeable. What was so satisfying about those times?

Were there skills involved that you want to be able to use again or perfect? Perhaps you wish to learn something new and wouldn’t mind starting lower down, taking some time to get up to speed.

In these hard economic times with a poor job market, knowing yourself, and knowing what your abilities and preferences are, will make you a more convincing candidate when the time comes to be interviewed.

do that is marketable?” The other side of that coin is: “Who would hire me?” If you don’t think your liberal arts college degree is enough to land you a job, if you have been out of the workforce for so long that you don’t know where to start, or if you’re dissatisfied with your present work and want to try something else, take heart. You have all kinds of skills that will be valuable to an employer. You just need to figure out exactly what they are and how to present them. You need to translate what you know and what you have done into a list of skills that will make an employer want to hire you.
