ODOR DESTROYER? The city installed a gate in the fence at La Jolla Cove on Dec. 31 with the hope that, as more visitors are encouraged to venture out onto the rocks, the groups of sea lions and birds that have gathered — and defecated — on the cliffs will begin to retreat, taking with them the stench that has plagued the area for years.

With gate inviting visitors onto bluffs, Cove residents and business owners wonder if infamous odor will be quelled By DAVE SCHWAB Numerous other methods could — and maybe should — be tried to dissuade sea lions from hauling out at La Jolla Cove now that the city’s installed a gate in the fence on the bluffs allowing public access there. According to a marine mammal expert, those methods might include non-lethal “tools” like a sprinkler system, use of sound (above and below water), perhaps even utilizing “air dancers” — inflatable, giant puppets often used to advertise products. Monica DeAngelis, a marine mammal biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a federal agency studying ocean and atmospheric conditions, said California municipalities experiencing problems with pinnipeds have experimented successfully with numerous ways of

Events
JAN. 28: NATIONAL KAZOO DAY WHERE: Seuss Room, Geisel Library, UC San Diego, noon HOW MUCH: Free (includes free kazoo!) WHAT: The kazoo may be best known as an annoying party favor, but research tools at the UC San Diego Library reveal some historical surprises and current uses. Speech therapists have had success using the kazoo as a rehabilitation tool for adults and as an ice-breaker for young children who are perhaps too shy to engage in prescribed vocal exercise. Anthropologists and sociologists have found ancient kazoos thought to be used in solemn ceremonies in Africa and Mexico. Classical composers and pop musicians alike have snuck kazoos into their compositions and recordings. Come to National Kazoo Day at UCSD to discover fascinating kazoo literature (scholarly articles and musical scores) and listen to some new chamber music for kazoo composed by alumni of UC San Diego. Encore songs from The Cat in the Hat Songbook will be performed, if the audience insists. A collection of kazoos from many decades and many countries will be on view and, while supplies last, a free kazoo for guests. Contact Scott Paulson at (858) 822-5758 or spaulson@ucsd.edu for more information.
JAN. 24: FILM BUFFS’ BOOK DISCUSSION WHERE: D.G. Wills Books, 7461 Girard Ave., 7 p.m. HOW MUCH: Free WHAT: Noted film historian professor Noah Isenberg will discuss his new book, “Edgar G. Ulmer: A Filmmaker at the Margins.” Ulmer is perhaps best known today for “Detour,” considered by many to be the epitome of a certain noir style that transcends its B-list origins. In this fascinating and well-researched account of a career spent on the margins of Hollywood, Noah Isenberg provides the little-known details of Ulmer’s personal life and a thorough analysis of his wide-ranging, eclectic films. Ulmer's daughter, Arianne Ulmer Cipes, will participate in the event. (858) 456-1800, www.dgwillsbooks.com.
JAN. 16: FOOVIE: “DIEGO STAR” WHERE: The Loft, UCSD, 7 p.m. food, 8 p.m. movie HOW MUCH: $34 food and movie, $10 movie only WHAT: ArtPower! Presents “Diego Star” in its Foovie (food+movie) series. The movie follows the story of a cargo ship stuck on the Canadian Saint Lawrence River for repairs. Traoré, an Ivory Coast mechanic is unjustly accused of causing the damage. Far away from home and family, Traoré tries to offer friendship to Fanny, a 20-something single mother who takes him in, while he struggles to fight for justice. Menu for the evening: cold frisée salad with roasted fennel, toasted garlic croutons and poached egg with lemon-pepper beurre blanc; whole salted freshwater fish seared and roasted with asparagus tips, herb new potatoes and French hollandaise; strawberry sorbet with mint honey sauce and a dark chocolate strawberry. Vegetarian options available upon request. Drinks sold separately. Tickets: (858) 534-8497 or www.artpower.ucsd.edu.

deterring them. DeAngelis said there’s a provision in the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) safeguarding marine mammals, which allows municipalities to use largely harmless methods to deter them when they become problematic, as many residents and business owners say they have in La Jolla where their waste on rocks is contributing to a pungent odor. “With the MMPA, we’ve seen an increase in certain species like the California sea lion, which have done extremely well with the protections offered,” said DeAngelis. The federal marine biologist said “no one tool, no one non-lethal deterrent works 100 percent of the time” in discouraging pinnipeds from hauling out or engaging in other problematic activities. But she added, “We’ve found in our research that it’s best to have a random tool box of methods.” Noting sea lions are “very smart animals” that “figure things out very quickly,” DeAngelis said several ways of discouraging them have been tried with some degree of success along the California coast. “Water sprinklers can sometimes work. They (sea lions) find them disruptive as they come out on the rocks to rest and thermal

regulate (cool off),” DeAngelis said. “We’ve done tests on sounds in the water that keep them away from fishing vessels. Another thing we’ve tried with success is air dancers. They’re relatively cheap and marine mammals don’t like the random movements of them.” DeAngelis said such non-lethal methods of deterring pinnipeds do not require approval by any government agency. She said a section of the MMPA allows municipalities wanting to discourage pinnipeds with non-lethal methods to do so with justifiable cause. “But we (NOAA) recommend municipalities call us first and allow us to help them with a plan,” she said. Bowing to public pressure, the city installed a gate in the fence Dec. 31on the Cove bluffs, which

for years has deterred people from frequenting the rocks above where sea lions in ever-larger numbers are hauling out. Responding to recent developments at La Jolla Cove, District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner said it’s been “legal for people to walk on the bluffs,” despite the fact that the fence has been up for more than a decade. “As a long-time advocate for the protection of public views and physical access to our beaches and coastline, I have supported installing a gate in the fence at La Jolla Cove,” said Lightner. Nonetheless, Lightner urged residents and visitors alike to “be cautious when accessing the area because the bluffs can be unstable and slippery, and to be careful not to harass or disturb the marine mammals and winged wildlife.” Long term, Lightner said she supports developing a citywide coastal management plan to deal with the proliferation of seals, sea lions and migratory birds along San Diego’s 26-mile coastline. Lightner said she will push for city funds to be included in the upcoming budget cycle to develop a plan that could incorporate best practices from other California municipalities like Pacific Grove, Carpinteria and San Francisco that deal with similar challenges of balancing the needs of people and marine animals.
NEWSBRIEF >> TESFA TO BE ALLOWED TO ACT AS OWN ATTORNEY — A suspected rapist accused of attacking a La Jolla woman behind a closed restaurant near Rosecrans Street has won his bid to become his own attorney in the Jan. 24 trial. Michael Tesfa, 22, was initially denied his request to be his own lawyer last month when he appeared before San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenia Eyherabide. Tesfa complained about his courtappointed attorney. Eyherabide asked Tesfa if he

knew the burden of proof a prosecutor must show to win a conviction. Tesfa replied he didn’t know. She asked him about his background, and he said he is a former security guard with a high school diploma. However, Tesfa insisted on seeking a closed-door hearing with another judge about replacing his attorney, and he appeared before Judge Frederick Maguire in an hourlong hearing Dec. 18. Maguire granted his request, citing current case law. Defense attorney Euketa Oliver was taken off the case.

City mourns passing of an icon who endeared listeners with integrity, ‘Colemanisms’ On a day when the San Diego Chargers thrilled local fans with a playoff victory, it was the death of a local broadcasting icon that turned cheers to tears on Jan. 5. San Diegans and people across the country learned that Jerry Coleman, a decorated baseball player, war hero and broadcaster, had passed away at Scripps Memorial Hospital. Coleman, considered a local treasure by a heavily military town, was born Sept. 14, 1924 in San Jose and died at the age of 89. He suffered from head injuries in a December fall at his La Jolla home in addition to pneumonia. His wife, Maggie, notified the Padres of his passing. Local baseball fans knew Coleman as the voice of the San Diego Padres since 1972, interrupted for only one season when he became the on-field manager of the team in 1980. His occasional verbal malaprops, which became known as “Colemanisms” further endeared him to regular listeners.
La Jolla Wellness Studio A new way to workout is now available in La Jolla, and though it may seem hard to believe, the La Jolla Wellness Studio will tell you that its 15-minute workout from start to finish will do just as much, if not more, than the 60 minutes you’re spending sweating in the gym. The La Jolla Wellness Center provides a revolutionary approach to fitness and your health, creating a workout regimen that is quick, easy and based on more than 2 years of science and medical research. What makes the La Jolla Wellness Studio stand apart from other fitness centers, is the technological approach it employs, utilizing vibration technology and focusing on the equal importance of preparation and recovery time, its owners explained. First time visitors have their body scanned to produce a 15-point comprehensive analysis that personalizes the exact areas and measurements to focus on. For more information go to lajollawellnessstudio.com or call (858) 444-0340.
A favorite of fans was when Coleman made the call as former Padre Dave Winfield chased a long fly ball to center field. “Winfield hit his head against the wall, and it’s rolling toward the infield!” Coleman, ever humble about his many accomplishments, endeared himself to countless people across the United States for his service as a U.S. Marine Corps pilot. He delayed his debut as a professional baseball player to serve in World War II and then left the New York Yankees to serve in the Korean War, flying 120 total career missions, receiving two Distinguished Flying Crosses and 13 Air Medals and three Navy Citations. A member of the U.S. Marine Corps Sports Hall of Fame, Coleman is the only major league baseball player in history to see combat in two wars.

flict and an SBD Dauntless dive bomber like the one he flew in World War II are on display at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, where he was named to the Hall of Fame in 2011. His military service earned him the nickname “The Colonel,” after he achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. In interviews, Coleman fondly recalled his military service as the greatest time of his life. “Your country is bigger than baseball,” he said. Coleman’s major league playing career with the Yankees began as a second baseman in 1949 when he hit .275 and was named Associated Press Rookie of the Year. He made the American League All-Star team in 1950 before being named Most Valuable Player in that season’s World Series on a team that included Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto and Johnny Mize. In his final season in 1957, Coleman batted .364 in the World Series against the Milwaukee Braves. He appeared in six World Series, earning four championship rings. A meeting with legendary sportscaster Howard Cosell convinced Coleman to enter broadcasting and he began in 1960 with CBS television. Eventually, after two seasons with the California Angels, Coleman was named lead radio announcer for the Padres. His signature phrases were “Oh, Doctor!” following an amazing onfield event and “You can hang a star on that, baby!” when an assistant would swing a large gold star hang-

ing from a stick out the window of the stadium’s broadcast booth to the cheers of fans. Coleman was given the Ford C. Frick Award of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005 and entered the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2007. He co-authored an autobiography, “An American Journey: My Life on the Field, In the Air and On the Air” in 2008 with New York Times writer Richard Goldstein. As Coleman made his mark on sports broadcasting, he also left indelible impressions on the communities in San Diego, especially La Jolla. He and his family had a long and enduring relationship with The Bishop’s School, where the health and fitness room is named The Coleman Family Health and Fitness Center and where annually, the Jerry Coleman Athletic Leadership Award is given to a captain of a Bishop’s upper school athletic team, often presented to the student by Coleman himself. Daughter Chelsea Coleman was a 2003 graduate of Bishop’s, while wife Maggie served as president of The Bishop’s School Board of Trustees from 20032005. “Jerry Coleman”s effervescent presence and his heroism were — and will continue to be — an inspiration to all of us, particularly to the current students with whom he

spoke last year when we honored him at our Veteran’s Day observance,” said Bishop’s head of school Aimeclaire Roche. “Jerry’s constant, lifelong appreciation for the work of his teammates and his fellow servicemen spoke to his humility and his care for all that makes America a great nation. Jerry Coleman will be sorely missed by the Bishop’s community.” Coleman also had ties to the Mount Soledad Memorial Association, where a plaque commemorates his military service. Coleman was initially not eager to be honored with a plaque at the site, said memorial association trustee Bob Phillips, because “he felt you should be deceased before being on the wall.” Phillips urged Maggie Coleman to encourage her husband to allow the association to honor him with the plaque, as Phillips felt Coleman’s war record was too significant to put on hold. In the end, Phillips said, Coleman did permit the plaque, even agreeing to allow the association to invite his lifelong friend, Bobby Brown, who he had played semi-pro baseball with in San Francisco. “The event set all records for attendance with over 1,000 individuals there to honor Jerry,” said Phillips. “ … To this day, it is one of the frequently visited plaques at the memorial.” Phillips said those interested in the location of the plaque can call the association office at (858) 4592314 or check with a docent at the site. On Sept. 15, 2012 the San Diego Padres unveiled a statue of Coleman wearing a flight suit at Petco Park where fans have been leaving flowers and mementos since his passing. A free service will be held Jan. 18 at 10:30 a.m. at Petco Park. Fans may enter through the East Village gate on 10th Avenue or the Park Boulevard gate. For those who would like to make a donation in Coleman’s memory, his family suggests the Semper Fi Fund (www.semperfifund.org). Dave Schwab contributed reporting.

La Plaza shopping center aiming for summer debut The transformation of the former Jack’s nightclub at the corner of Girard Avenue and Wall Street into La Plaza high-end boutique shopping center is on track for a summer 2014 opening. “We started the first of August. We had a little bit of delay with getting our building permits,” said Paul Prellwitz, senior project manager for Dempsey Construction, which is remodeling the old Jack’s site. “We’re trudging along right now looking for a May 1 completion.” Prellwitz said the three-story, 33,626-square-foot space at 7863 Girard Ave. is being reconfigured around a central courtyard. The building is being fully improved to the lot line boundaries, with no offstreet parking. “We’re removing all the existing finishes, taking it down to concrete, then putting in the new skin,” said Prellwitz, noting Dempsey just finished structural demolition on the project and is in the early stages of interior concrete work. Prellwitz said once that’s done, the individual retail spaces will each be customized for their new tenants. To allay fears about redevelopment being disruptive, the building has been wrapped in a protective plastic barrier, with a 6-foot-
wide plywood tunnel erected along the Girard and Wall Street sidewalks to shield pedestrians. In addition, a canvas canopy sits atop the building’s center courtyard to reduce noise. Prellwitz said project improvements include a complete exterior renovation featuring the installation of plaster and pre-cast concrete features, a new glass window system throughout the building, decorative rustic guardrails, new pavers and tiles, and hand-painted accent tiles installed throughout. A key architectural feature will be an elevator/clock tower constructed on the Girard Street side of the building. “We saw this as an opportunity to redevelop and revitalize, arguably, the premier corner in La Jolla with a new energy, while bringing back the elegance that existed in La Jolla in years past,” said Jon Williams, CEO of San Diego-based Davlyn Investments, the project owner who acquired the property at auction in November 2012. “Since we purchased the building, we have been working diligently with architects, brokers and designers to create a boutique retail center that satisfies even the most discerning shoppers’ desire for quality products in an intimate environment. With most
suites surrounding a center courtyard, the synergy that will be created for our tenants, and the convenience for their customers, will be unmatched in the area.” Thus far, the only tenant, Lissilaa Boutique, has announced it will be moving into the new shopping center. “Hopefully, stores will start opening at the beginning of the third quarter,”said Marcelle McAfee, regional manager for Davlyn. “We’re still in the process of negotiating leases,” said McAfee. McAfee estimated the ultimate number of retail spaces in the center will likely vary between 17 and 22. She said the first three or four tenants in the mix will likely be announced sometime this spring, with other tenant announcements following in “dribs and drabs” after that. “We’re just excited to get moving on the project and we’re really looking forward to having the building up and running in the area,” McAfee said. The retail space has had a long and troubled history. Bill Berkley, who previously owned Jack’s, went out of business July 31, 2009. It was later disclosed that one of his employees had allegedly embezzled funds from Berkley, a case that is still pending in court.

How to save thousands when selling your home LA JOLLA, When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. A
recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell at the price you want.

A criminal complaint may be filed within three years of the offense, or one year after the person was initially identified by law enforcement
• Search warrants: chemical tests (SB 717) — This amendment to current law authorizes the issuance of a search warrant to draw blood from a person in a reasonable, medically approved manner, to show that the person violated misdemeanor DUI laws when that person has refused an officer’s request to submit to, or has failed to complete, a blood test. This law has been in effect since Sept. 20. • Immigrant licenses (AB 60, effective Jan. 1, 2015) — Requires the DMV to issue a driver’s license to an applicant who is unable to submit proof he or she is legally present in the U.S. The department will draft new regulations and prepare field offices to process these new applications. Applicants will be required to meet all other driver’s license qualifications. WORKPLACE
• Minimum wage (AB 10 and AB 442) — The minimum wage in California has not risen from its $8-an-hour benchmark since 2008. That will change on July 1, when the minimum wage goes to $9 an hour. Another increment occurs on Jan. 1, 2016, when the minimum wage rises to $10 an hour.

This applies only to specific crimes that include solicitation for murder and vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. • Whistleblower protections (SB 496) — Expands whistleblower protections to include reports alleging a violation of a local rule or regulation. It also protects employees who disclose or who might disclose information regarding alleged violations “to a person with authority over the employee or another employee who has authority to investigate, discover or correct the violation. SB 496 also prohibits retaliation against an employee because the employer “believes the employee disclosed or may disclose information.” • Immigration status (AB 263 and SB 666) — Two new bills protect undocumented workers from retaliation or adverse actions when they file employment-related claims or complain about wage theft.

worker’s legal status in the country because of the complaints. A penalty of up to $10,000 per employee can be issued to the employer per violation. In addition, state authorities can pull an employer’s business license for reporting or threatening to report a worker’s immigration status in response to an employee’s wage complaints. • Attorney fees (SB 462) — A new law states that employers who win wage-claim lawsuits may recover attorneys’ fees and costs from the employee only if a trial court finds that the employee filed the lawsuit in bad faith. • Recovery-rest periods (SB 435) — California law currently requires employers to give employees who work outside in weather exceeding 85 degrees several five-minute cooldown periods, or recovery periods, in a shaded area to protect from overheating. Under this expanded law, employers are prohibited from requiring employees from working during a recovery period and they must pay them one extra hour of pay for each workday a required recovery period is not provided. • Anti-discrimination (SB 530 and AB 566) — Currently, state law restricts employers from considering certain criminal records in making hiring choices. Under SB 530, employers are prohibited from asking a prospective new hire to disclose information about a conviction that has been dismissed or ordered sealed unless certain limited exceptions apply.
• Domestic-work employees (AB 241) — The Domestic Worker Bill of Rights provides for specific overtime pay for certain in-home employees or a “domestic work employee who is a personal attendant.” Those with in-home help will need to carefully determine whe-ther the new law applies to them because AB 241 contains many specific definitions and exclusions.

• Sexual-harassment definition (SB 292) — Amends the definition of harassment to clarify that sexually harassing conduct does not need to be motivated by sexual desire. The law clarifies that hostile treatment can amount to unlawful sexual harassment, regardless of whether treatment was motivated by any sexual desire. — For a complete list of new laws and descriptions, visit www.leginfo.ca.gov.

View from52 SANDY LIPPE La Jollan Tom Johnson is a lot of things to a lot of people. He is husband to Christine, a Navy pediatrician at Naval Medical Center San Diego; dad to three daughters, Katie (5), Maggie (9) and Emily (11); extraordinary athlete with 25 marathons under his belt, including Boston when he was 10, Ironman triathalon at sixteen and current cross-training competitor. Johnson can add another title: survivor of sudden cardiac arrest that occurred the day after Thanksgiving. He was hospitalized for 11 days, seven of them in intensive care, three of them in a medically induced coma with a lowered body temperature. When his mother called a friend to tell her Johnson had suffered sudden cardiac arrest, “impossible” was the friend’s first response. He was 45 minutes into a cross-training compe-
La Jollan learns the importance of being prepared in event of cardiac arrest tition when he collapsed forward and no pulse could be found. His pediatrician wife began CPR with the help of a pharmacist. “I was lucky to get high-quality CPR for 8-10 minutes,” Johnson said. Statistically, every minute you go without CPR, your chance of living drops 10 percent. The American Heart Association reports that outof-hospital sudden cardiac arrest accounted for 359,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2013 with a survivor rate of 9.5 percent. The sudden cardiac arrest website says that the condition is the leading cause of death for adults over 40 and is equivalent to the number who die from Alzheimer’s, firearm assaults, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, diabetes, HIV, house fires, motor vehicle accidents, prostate cancer and suicides combined. Paramedics arrived and whisked Johnson to Scripps Hospital (he sang the praises of Fire Station 21 in Pacific Beach). First para-medic on the scene was Ron Crase. The Johnson family paid a visit to Capt. Greg Lloyd and Crase on Christmas Day. “They were thankful we came back to see them,” Johnson said. “Most of the time, paramedics don’t get a follow-up phone call, let alone a personal visit.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Marie Holbrooke, avid traveler and music lover Marie Jean Hlavacek Holbrooke passed from this earth suddenly from natural causes on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at her home in La Jolla. She was 86. Marie was born to Frank and Ella Hlavacek in Chicago on July 7, 1927 and was raised in La Grange Park, Ill. She had two brothers, John M. Hlavacek of Omaha, Neb. and Frank A. Hlavacek, deceased. She attended Oak School and Lyons Township High School, graduating in 1945. Following her tenure at Lyons Township Junior College, Marie graduated from Indiana University in 1948, majoring in mathematics and where she was also a member of the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. Following graduation, Marie went to Bombay, India to visit her brother John, a correspondent with United Press International. Upon arrival, Oct. 6, 1948 she met her future husband, Marshall D. Holbrooke, who was stationed in India as a field representative for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. The couple was married on Nov. 19, 1949 at the La Grange Congregational Church.
MARIE HOLBROOKE, 1927-2013
Following a year in Ft. Worth, Texas, they settled in La Jolla in 1951 where they raised their four children: Marsha (Ron) Winters, John (Winnie) Holbrooke, Helen (Patrick) Keohane and Carol Holbrooke (Dale Duffala). Marie treasured adopted son Albert Thomas and his wife, Beverly, and their five children. She had five grandchildren: Alexandra and Andrew Winters; Hilary and PFC Steven Holbrooke, USMC; and 2nd Lt. Christopher Keohane USMC. Marshall predeceased Marie on Dec. 7, 1994. To say Marie enjoyed travel would be an understatement. She had friends and family across the globe and enjoyed visiting, explor-

ing and collecting new friends along the way. As well as hosting AFS International students, the Holbrooke home was a gathering point for extended family and friends. At home she was active in the Social Service League of La Jolla, continued her involvement with the AOPi sorority and American Association of University Women, San Diego Branch. She was the first woman president of La Jolla Lutheran Church where she sang in the choir. Marie was a loyal patron of the San Diego Symphony where she was recognized on her 85th birthday for her continuous subscription for more than 50 years. She also attended La Jolla Playhouse and the Old Globe Theatre regularly and would post her enthusiasm for productions on her Facebook page. A memorial service will be held at La Jolla Lutheran Church, 7111 La Jolla Blvd., at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18. In lieu of flowers, honor her with donations to La Jolla Lutheran Church, or Social Service League of La Jolla, 7441 Olivetas Ave.

>> CONT. FROM PG. 3 Deputy District Attorney Betsy McClutchey said she regretted the ruling, but said her office cannot object as to whether someone should act as their own lawyer. The ruling means Tesfa will get to personally question the 30-year-old victim at the trial before a jury, although a sheriff’s deputy will be very close by. The victim was overcome with emotion for a while when she testified at the preliminary hearing on Oct. 17. She said she took the wrong bus and ended up at the Old Town Trolley Station on March 18. She said she walked around to Perry’s Café, which was closed, and sat on a bench around 7:30 p.m. She said Tesfa approached her and she declined an invitation to go to a motel. She testified he punched her in the face, and dragged her behind the restaurant. He stripped her of most of her clothing and raped her, she said.

cardiologist placed a cardio implant in his chest. Johnson, a 1982 graduate of La Jolla High, ran track and cross country there. His hometown La Jolla friends, especially members of the Torrey Pines Christian Church, jumped at the chance to help and pray for him in his time of need. Bird Rock Elementary School families sent meals. Cards, flowers, and prayers came from across the country. How could an excellent athlete and disciplined diner like Tom Johnson be a victim of cardiac arrest? Johnson’s mother pointed to an underlying cardiac abnormality as a culprit, while attributing his remarkable recovery to his excellent physical condition and the quick action taken by his wife administering CPR. Johnson has always kept a workout log and he now can do a moderate 30-40 minutes on an stationary bicycle. He has missed only three days of workout since returning home Dec. 9. “I am optimistic about going forward,” Johnson said. When asked about this second chance in life, he said he was blessed to have his wife and the pharmacist perform CPR. “The planets were lined up. God was looking down. Now my mission is to make sure an AED, automated external defibrillator, is in every public building and that people get quality CPR training,” Johnson said. “In my case, this wasn’t a heart attack caused by a blockage; my heart looks the same as it did before, but I was clinically dead. I hope readers will come on board and help me get the word out about the importance of AEDs and CPR, as well as checking out their gene pool for any underlying abnormality involving the heart. This has been an extra special Christmas and a second chance at life in this new year, 2014.”

Looking for that new-year bod? Pilates offers a lifestyle, not just a workout Pilates is an increasingly popular — and effective — fitness option these days, and in La Jolla there are numerous places from which to choose. “Our gym has the reputation of being pretty intense, no-nonsense,” said Armone Sullivan, founder and president of Armone’s Core Connection at 7438 Girard Ave. A ballet dancer, competitive cyclist and Realtor, Sullivan’s former home Pilates studio ultimately morphed into a fulltime career with a little help from her friends. “We have something for beginners, someone who hasn’t worked out in years, professional athletes, elderly clients — everybody.” Pilates is a physical fitness system developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. He began rehabilitating German soldiers, then brought the workout system to New York City and refined it treating injured dancers. Featuring a body-conditioning routine designed to help build flexibility, muscle strength and endurance in the legs, stomach, arms, hips and back, Pilates emphasizes spinal and pelvic alignment. Though they start with the central tenets of the workout, all
Pilates studios are not necessarily made equal. “We have more than 45 classes a week specializing in ride-andglide, 25 minutes of indoor cycling and 25 minutes of Pilates — the only studio here that does that,” said Jessica T. Shehab, owner of Pilates Plus La Jolla at 7712 Fay Ave. “Our focus is on core flexibility and strength training using less time, higher intensity.” The common thread among studios, however, is the target area of the body. The workout develops breathing, promoting a strong core, or center, and improving coordination and balance. “In Pilates the focus is the core,” stressed Sullivan. “It’s a series of exercises using your body weight along with spring resistance always stretching, as well as contracting the muscles. You get a full body workout. But everything starts from the core.” Pilates practitioners Sullivan and Shehab agreed the fitness system is much more than just a workout. “We want people to start and maintain a healthy lifestyle,” said Shehab, noting Pilates is often best combined with other disciplines like yoga and spinning.
CORE CLOUT Pilates focuses on strengthening the core of the body, building flexibility and muscle strength.
“The benefits are amazing,” she said. “You’ll stand taller. You’ll feel muscles you never thought you had.” Sullivan agreed the system promotes a lifestyle, not merely a workout routine. “It’s not just fitness. It’s a way of life. It enhances anything else — surfing, running, etc. — you’re doing. You learn to breathe properly, how to stand properly. Your posture improves. Your balance

improves. There’s nothing like Pilates.” For both fitness trainers, Pilates was life-transforming, both personally and in their careers. “It changed my life completely,” said Sullivan. “The beauty of Pilates is you can do it forever.” Sullivan mentored under a Pilates instructor who practiced the discipline well into her 1990s. “And there are more than 1,000 exercises that can be done using different pieces of equipment,” Sullivan said. Shehab was introduced to Pilates by a girlfriend who took her to a class. “I fell in love with it,” said Shehab, who was in the real-estate industry during the economic downturn several years ago. “I was laid off, I had an opening to get in (the Pilates business) and took the risk and it worked out,” she said, noting Pilates Plus expanded a year and a half ago into a larger 2,500-square-foot space. “I have 150, maybe 200 clients,” Shehab said. “About 400 people go through the doors each week.” The Pilates experience, Sullivan said, is “customizable.”

“We’re not a big gym,” Sullivan said of Armone’s Core Connection. “We’re not about big-group classes, about numbers, getting 20 or 30 people in at a time. We’re about the individual and making sure that person gets exactly what they need.” PILATES OPTIONS IN LA JOLLA: • Kore Pilates: 7843 Girard Ave., (858) 551-1104, korepilates.com • White Light Pilates: 5689 La Jolla Blvd., (858) 459-9992, whitelightpilates.com • Gotham Pilates: 7760 Fay Ave., (858) 454-5711, gothampilateslajolla.com • Windansea Pilates: 504 Nautilus St., (858) 454-0900, windanseapilates.com • Pilates of La Jolla: 7556 Fay Ave., (858) 459-4002, pilatesoflajolla.com • Vida Pilates: 702 Pearl St., (619) 991-8432, vidapilatesstudios.com • Pilates Plus: 7712 Fay Ave., (858) 456-1516, www.pilatespluslajolla.com • Armone’s Core Connection: 7438 Girard Ave., (858) 255-8609, armonescoreconnection.com.

Start off small when setting New Year’s resolutions The new year is a time for new beginnings and to set goals that strengthen one’s spirit, mind and body. While it’s tempting to make big goals, it’s essential to start small. Set goals that are attainable, easy to sustain and lead to big benefits over time. As a community-serving organization here in La Jolla, we see how things like getting involved in with the community and making lifestyle changes can change someone’s life for the better. Here are five New Year’s resolutions the La Jolla YMCA recommends for 2014: EAT HEALTHY: Make water your drink of choice (supplemented by age-appropriate portions of 100 percent fruit juices and low-fat

Limit screen time (television, video games, computer, etc.) and instead set aside an hour or two for activities. If weather permits, go for a walk, bike ride, trip to the park, or have a game night at home with family or friends. BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE: It’s important for children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day (30 minutes for adults).
PUT EXTRAS TO GOOD USE: Do you have extra canned goods or clothes that could benefit others in need? Clean out your pantry, closet or attic and donate extra items to homeless shelters or community
outreach programs. “At the Y, we are committed to strengthening communities and believe this begins with strengthening the people within the community,” said Sue Ball, executive vice president of the La Jolla YMCA. “Setting a goal to achieve any one of the Y’s recommended five New Year’s resolutions can help improve one’s health and well being.” For additional tips or to learn more about how to get involved with the YMCA, contact your local YMCA at (858) 4533483 or visit www.lajolla.ymca.org. — Contributed by the YMCA La Jolla

As we look forward to a new year, La Jolla Today looks back at the stories that shaped 2013. Take a walk along memory lane with us as we recall the good, the bad and the ugly of the last 12 months. We’ve also asked a few residents to reflect on their 2013 in La Jolla and to give us their hopes for the coming year.

The San Diego Community Newspaper Group started off 2013 with a bang as the La Jolla Village News became La Jolla Today.
“I am happy that Phyllis Minick and Melinda Merryweather have raised $200,000 for the beautification of the Children's Walk. In 2014, we should see great progress there. I am looking forward to working with Partners in Grime to help beautify La Jolla. I’m also looking forward to seeing new faces at community groups and continued success in the membership drives of LJTC and LJCPA.” — Cindy Greatrex, president, La Jolla Town Council

In November, voters headed to the polls to find a new mayor for the city. The election resulted in a runoff between Kevin Faulconer and David Alvarez.
The year finished off with another successful La Jolla Christmas Parade.
“I look forward to 2014 being a banner year for La Jolla. Much unfinished business has been resolved, including, I hope, the seals versus people issue at the Children’s Pool. We have two new lifeguard towers and through efforts of wonderful citizens like Phyllis Minick, the park above the Children’s Pool will be finished. We should have a few muchneeded sidewalk cafés, which will add to the pedestrian allure of our Village. For safety reasons, it would be wonderful to see the traffic slow down and potholes be filled. We need to solve the lack-of-parking issues and figure a way to keep employee parking away from the main shopping and restaurant areas. We are blessed to be able to live in La Jolla, and with a little more joint effort, the Jewel will be polished.” — Nancy K. Gardner, CMC Finance, Inc. and La Jolla Town Council trustee
The fall brought about some big events in La Jolla, especially the La Jolla Town Council’s inaugural Dancing with the La Jolla Stars.

In August, the city was consumed by the melee surrounding former Mayor Bob Filner, who resigned Aug. 23.

Near the end of January, a live webcam appeared at Children’s Pool. Sponsored by the WAN Conservancy and sanctioned by then-Mayor Bob Filner, the camera gave the world a glimpse into the goings on at the controversial site.

Prominent happenings in 2013: “Sidewalk cafes, valet parking, funding of long-term delayed projects — Torrey Pines Road (TPR) share of maintenance and improvement budgets.” — Dan Courtney, La Jolla Community Planning Association trustee
Also in March, the United States Postal Service announced its formal plans to sell the La Jolla Post Office. Despite more than a year of united community resistance, the USPS made a decision to relocate the post office’s services and operation to a yet-to-be-determined location nearby. As yet, the new location has not been determined.
“2014 offers the opportunity to build on the successes and lessons learned of 2013. While some of La Jolla’s debates will continue to linger, perhaps for years, there is always the hope for a meeting of the minds on permanent solutions. I hope we continue to build community consensus using the city’s neighborhood input for infrastructure process and prioritize needed public improvements. I hope we can follow the lead of other communities in updating our roadways to complete streets that are safe for cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Pacific Beach’s good work in forming an EcoDistrict is another idea that La Jolla should emulate. La Jolla’s organizations have stabilized and are doing a good job serving their constituencies; in 2014, I hope we can bring those organizations together in a unified coalition to create a single vision and implementation plan to move La Jolla forward. On the lighter side, let’s resurrect an old idea — La Jolla entry monuments — by hosting a design competition. 2014 will be a good year for La Jolla. Working together, we can make it even better.” — Joe LaCava, vice president La Jolla Community Planning Association
“I would love to get rid of the thousands of cars that come every day to see seals, as we never created parking for them, so we as a Village are thousands of parking spaces short every day as the city of San Diego wants to force us to have a free SeaWorld on what once was a quiet sweetsmelling, clean shore line. I would love to see the Mount Soledad Cross add some arms and have every symbol of whatever anyone believes in to honor all those that have served our country. My choice to add would be the peace sign and a heart. I would love to see La Jolla become its own city so we can save what is left. It is so sad to see the destroyed streets and sidewalks. When I look at the streets and sidewalks in Del Mar and Coronado, they are perfect because they are their own cities. All it will take is $2 million from someone

I hope to restore and improve more beach access, as that is what you do when you are fortunate enough to live on the shore of America and it is an honor for me to do it. I would love to see many more people who love the Village stand up and just do one thing to make it better. Talk is easy. Please take this year to do something to improve our Village. It is our home.

Arts & Entertainment UCSD student poses triple threat with academics, athletics and music
By BART MENDOZA
It’s hard enough to make it as a musician, with long hours of rehearsal and gig time, but for a combo athlete/musician, things can get pretty tough. Such is the case with singer/songwriter Nash Howe. The UCSD Triton is both All-American and CCAA champion. A San Diego resident for the past three years, it was “athletics and family that brought me here to La Jolla,” said Howe. “Javelin brought me to San Diego and music is what made me fall in love with it.” Howe hails from Aptos, Calif., “a small town just south of Santa Cruz — a mecca for Americana, folk music and creative media in general.” He said that while sports brought him to the area, it was the “weather, people and the UC that has made it an incredibly beautiful and accessible place to call home for the past three years.” “Balancing time between sports and music and school is so difficult,” said Howe. “Especially when the sleep and eating requirements of an athlete bash heads with the time-consuming nature of studio recording. I’m still trying to figure out how to do it better but honestly, my friends help me the most.” That said, Howe is a realist about his chances for success in both fields. “My grandfather always said ‘Nashy, be a Christian-scholarathlete — good grades are like money in the bank.’ So really, academics come first. But luckily, a lot of my study at UCSD falls within the confine of music — its creative process, its movement through space and the physics of sound itself. I’ve learned that music is not only an imaginative palette, but music also a science; not one or the other.”
MIXING TALENT, PASSION AND PERSEVERANCE UCSD javelin thrower Nash Howe has found his passion in the music scene in San Diego. In both athletics and music, Howe said he has been influenced by members of his family, some of whom are highly accomplished in both. COURTESY PHOTO
He cites his family as his biggest athletic and musical influences. “My grandmother Marjorie, father Ralph, and sister Allsun are my major role models in both sport and my passion for music,” he said. “Marjorie was a gold medalist in the senior Olympics and studied art and voice in college, eventually getting a degree in education.

but an artist at heart.” Meanwhile “Grandpa Bob” was a football player in college but health problems cut his career short. “So he picked up shot put,” Nash said. “He introduced my grandma to the idea and two weeks later she threw over 40 feet and took gold. She is an athletic, bold, beautifully talented musician with the work ethic of a gold medalist, and I would be lucky to be like her.” Howe grew up listening to his
grandmother play piano, but said his sister was a bigger influence on him when it came to music. “Allsun doesn’t know this, but she’s the one who inspired me to start writing my own music,” he said. “When I was about 10 years old on one Thanksgiving Day, I heard her playing my grandma’s Steinway, and asked her to teach me what she was playing.

Nogura is a student at UCSD, who alongside Howe has formed a Producers Club at the university to help aspiring producers hone their production skills and expand their techniques by experimenting with music of all types. “Daniel is one of the best producers I’ve worked with and in conjunction with Gomez and

A portion of the album’s proceeds go to the charity, Love Hope Strength. “They put on concerts to raise money to help fight and bring awareness to breast cancer,” he said. “My sister recently beat breast cancer and luckily, now she’s fine and beautiful as ever. But this organization does great work through a medium that I love to help fight breast cancer.

Members and donors (numbering about 500) were invited to enjoy the fete.

SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER GROUP | FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2014 | SDNEWS.COM
Give your home a fresh look in the new year Many New Year’s resolutions revolve around changes in lifestyle, improved health or kicking old habits and developing new ones. There are, however, simple changes that can be made to your home that will make you feel brand new without the grueling trips to the gym. Jill Winninger, senior interior designer at Seaside Home at 1055 Wall St. gave La Jolla Today some tips for freshening up your home in the new year. Q: What are some easy ways to freshen up the interior of your home? A: Freshening up your entire home can feel overwhelming. I recommend concentrating on one room at a time. Start with the rooms where you spend most of JILL WINNINGER your time. That will allow you to see your progress and enjoy it daily. Some easy ideas that will give you a lot of bang for your
buck are moving accessories from one room to another, updating your framed family photos by inserting a new picture, adding colorful pillows, rearranging the furniture, keeping fresh flowers in a prominent place, adding a pop of color to your everyday dishes with new salad plates or soup bowls and filling unusual bowls with collections of shells, glass orbs or fresh fruit. You’ll be surprised what a difference some small changes will make! Q: What are some ways to make an outdoor space more liveable? A: Outdoor spaces are becoming rooms in and of themselves and add to our options as places to relax and to entertain. Think about how you want to use the space. Do you want dining space for regular meals, a place to relax and watch the sunset or a vibrant setting for entertaining? Narrow your decorating focus to the way you want the space to function and your results will be successful. Adding pots of colorful flowers, cushions in outdoor fab-
rics and candles are easy updates. Consider an investment in beautiful dinnerware and glassware to complete the look. Then, enjoy the space often! Q: What are some new trends in interior design that are easy to incorporate? A: We continue to see a major focus on color. Copper and golds are returning as featured finishes. Look for them in lighting, accessories and surface finishes. They’ll work well with the variety of blues we’ll see emerging, including turquoise, navy and cobalt. These are easy colors to work and live with. Look for them in fabrics, wall coverings and painted furniture. With the revolution of outdoor fabrics, our gardens and patios continue to be a major focus. Indoor/outdoor spaces and ways to achieve them will be an ongoing design trend. — Jill Winninger is a member of the American Society of Interior Designers and a certified interior designer in California. She specializes in high-end residential design.
Selling your home? Your pricing strategy could work against you
price influence the amount of time a home will remain on the market? Here is another question to consider: What is market value? Is it the seller’s list Charles Schevker & Natasha Alexander price?

ing special events coordinator Penny Buckingham. Rounding out the Village scene were porpoises, palm and evergreen trees, those seals that everybody loves, and snow everywhere (unusual for La Jolla!). Signs said “Don’t Touch,” but experienced guests know they would be removed at a certain hour, when most of the cookies would become available for guests to enjoy as they wished. The Village scene, however, would remain protected — as a significant piece of art, the Athenaeum would keep it on display for about two weeks. Wine and non-alcoholic punch were served, as were roast-beef sandwiches, cheeses and lots of tempting baked goods. The party closed with guests singing “The Twelve Days of Christmas” at the piano.

Karen Cohn, chairwoman and
(for the second consecutive term) president of the San Diego Opera (SDO) board, hosted an exceptionally elegant party at the lovely La Jolla home she shares with husband Don. The event recognized and thanked major supporters (“angel gala patrons”) of SDO’s upcoming (Jan. 25) season-opening celebration. Karen will team with Iris Strauss and Debbie Turner for the gala, which will have an Italian clown circus theme befitting the season’s first opera, “Pagliacci.” Jeff Strauss and his Pamplemousse Grille staff catered the affair. The cuisine was Italian, starting with little artisan pizzas; then penne with meatballs, lobster ravioli, Tuscan-style leg of lamb, rosemaryand thyme-crusted filet mignon and a ratatouille salad. Later, an ice cream dessert bar offered chocolate and caramel sauces and other goodies to make the most decadent sundaes imaginable.
Triple-crown-wearer Ian Campbell (general director, artistic director and CEO) spoke briefly about the opera company’s upcoming (2015) 50th anniversary year and thanked the Diamond Circle Producers for exceptionally generous donations to ensure SDO’s continued artistic excellence. Three prominent couples have each contributed $500,000, and an equal amount came from the “Dow Divas” (a group of very involved women who are both investors and cultural activists). Campbell introduced Nicholas Reveles and Priti Gandhi. Longtime associates of the company, both have deep roots as serious performers. Ably accompanied by Reveles on piano, Ghandi delivered a stunning recital of a Puccini aria, followed later by a powerful rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” (from an opera set in a land called Oz).

Selling your home? Let us help you with your pricing strategy Most people decide on a listing price based upon the amount of money they want or need. That strategy has no relevance to a buyer. A price should be selected in tandem with the market dynamics and that price should represent value to attract buyers. Let us provide you with a market analysis and information you need to make the right decision.

that they have an aggressive marketing plan to get your home sold. Here are a few things to consider when contemplating the list price: (1) Home buyers today are more informed and knowledgeable about home pricing, so they are less likely to be fooled. (2) When a home is listed for sale, it is “new” only one time, and then only for about the first 30 days. If a house is removed from the market and then returned a few months later, it is not “new and improved.” (3) The longer a house remains on
the market the more a buyer will perceive it as having problems. (4) The more problems a buyer perceives, the more points they’ll deduct and the lower the price they’ll offer. (5) The longer a house remains on the market, the more likely you are to lose out on your next goals, or the more it will cost you to achieve them. So back to the question: Does time influence price, or does price influence time? In a twisted way, both are correct. But let’s face it — if you are selling your home, you want to set your listing price to sell your home within the first 30 days, get the cash as soon as possible, then move on with your life.
