The biggest local contract listed was for $4.8 million, paid to Aztec Shops, Ltd., a nonprofit university auxiliary. The SDSU procurement office told the investigative news site California Watch that the money was related to the administration of Aztec Corner, the student-housing complex on Montezuma Road where 19-year-old Shirley Jennifer Poliakoff was found dead in her room on the morning of May 6, 2007, the victim of cocaine and alcohol abuse. … It was big news in Canada but caused nary a ripple among local media. Two weeks ago, U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey Miller sentenced former 2002 Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding to 48 months behind bars after he was busted by federal agents for buying cocaine for a Vancouver drug ring during a June 13, 2008 sting at a San Diego ­hotel.
