Woman found dead on cliffs below gliderport The body of an 18-year-old Asian-American woman was discovered on the cliffs beneath the Torrey Pines Gliderport by a passerby walking the beach on Sunday, Feb. 14 at 12:30 p.m. The woman had reportedly fallen 50 feet. A backpack, water bottle and flashlight \u2014 still turned on \u2014 was discovered near her body, which was found 80 feet high on the cliffs and airlifted out, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque. She had died of multiple blunt force injuries, according to the medical examiner\u2019s report. It\u2019s unclear why the woman, who was from Millbrae in San Mateo County, had been hiking on the cliffs the night before, Luque said. The Medical Examiner\u2019s Office has withheld her name until her family is notified. \u00a0\u00a0 PB Stabber sentenced to 285 days, deported A Turkish immigrant who stabbed a man in Pacific Beach was sentenced Feb. 10 to 285 days he had already served in jail and he will be deported. Agahan Alemdar, 23, \u00a0who had been living in La Jolla, was released to immigration authorities, said Deputy District Attorney Steve Marquardt, and will be deported because of his felony conviction in the Aug. 3, 2009, incident. Nathaniel Thompkins was stabbed in the neck with a knife following an argument with Alemdar at 4 p.m. in a courtyard at 1038 Hornblend St. San Diego Superior Court Judge Theodore Weathers fined Alemdar $1,060. Marquardt said Alemdar had been place on an immigration hold after his arrest. Alemdar pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon on Jan. 11 and could have been sentenced to four years in prison, according to court records. The judge ordered authorities not to release him from jail, but process him through immigration authorities for deportation. PLJ to try new trash compactor on Wall St. The trash compactor may be making a return \u2014 not to nationwide households but to the streets of La Jolla. Contractor Arnie Mazza has offered to place a solar-powered trash compactor and recycling bin outside the post office on Wall Street at no charge. The 4-feet-tall by 2-feet-wide trash compactor can receive six times the amount of garbage than a city trash can, according to Glen Rasmussen, the secretary for Promote La Jolla. If the “Big Belly,” as it\u2019s called, is a success, Promote La Jolla will consider installing more of them throughout the village. Nearby merchants and volunteers have agreed to dump the contents of the compactors. Merchants are happy with the Big Belly trash and recycling compactor that has stood outside Jeff\u2019s Burgers in La Jolla Shores for the past few years and has also seen plenty of recyclables, according to Rasmussen.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meanwhile, Promote La Jolla is still considering whether to rehire Urban Core to sweep the streets, gutters and sidewalks twice each week. Urban Core is a nonprofit that provides jobs to disadvantaged youth. Since Promote La Jolla lost its contract last July following a city investigation into its finances, merchants and volunteers have stepped up to keep the streets clean. The Nell Carpenter Beautification Committee has hosted monthly clean-ups, which have drawn 40-plus people each time. “Most of us believe that the village is cleaner than it was before,” Rasmussen said. “Merchants are pitching in. They\u2019re not as lax because they\u2019re not paying someone else to clean. They\u2019re doing it every day. We all believe that self-help is a good thing and that it\u2019s contagious.” “One school of thought says that for a permanent solution, you need to pay someone to do it,” Rasmussen continued. “Others say that the people will do what ought to be done anyway.” Promote La Jolla will continue to discuss rehiring Urban Core at its next meeting on March 10 at 3 p.m. at the La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave. For more information visit www.lajollabythesea.com or call (858) 454-5718.
