BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School held a ribbon-cutting event for its new learning commons on Friday, Jan. 27. The plywood walls finally came down revealing a new gathering spot for students filled with flexible furnishing such as moveable couches and chairs, plenty of places to plug in and even a row of beachy Adirondack chairs to take advantage of sunshine pouring in from the front windows. TPHS Principal Rob Coppo said he was thankful that the Prop AA-funded project was completed on time, staying on schedule despite having to work around 2,600 kids on campus. He thanked his staff for dealing with all the challenges of construction and cut the ribbon alongside San Dieguito Union High School District Board President Amy Herman and Clerk Beth Hergesheimer. “Without the board’s support this kind of thing doesn’t happen,” Coppo said. “We’ve got this
BY KAREN BILLING Whispering Palms Community Services District is starting from “square one” on its plans to refresh the landscaping at the community’s entrance on Cancha de Golf and CSD-managed land along Via de la Valle. At its Jan. 24 meeting, the board, which includes two new members, requested to begin a productive dialogue on what they would like to see, working with landscape architect Pat Coyne on a new design. “It’s a blank slate at this point in time,” said General Manager Chuck Duffy, noting the old controversial plan which proposed removing and replacing 54 palm trees on the Cancha de Golf median is no longer in play. The hope is for Coyne to begin discussions with the board at its Feb. 14 meeting. Duffy said there wasn’t a lot of controversy with the lower landscaping in the previous plan, designed by Coyne. Those elements included removing the turf from the Cancha de Golf median and along Via de la Valle, and installing cobble and drought-tolerant plants such as low-level agaves. Board member Byron Hanchett said he would like to take the landscaping project in pieces, dealing with Via de la Valle and Cancha de Golf landscaping separately. “I think it’s critical for us to think globally but break this into bite-size pieces for decision making,” agreed board member Doug Manatt. Specifically, Hanchett said he would like to address the spit rail fencing along the golf course that is in disrepair. Duffy said there is SEE LANDSCAPING, A22

Owner of North County Dance Arts shares lessons from working with Debbie Reynolds BY STACEY PHILLIPS When Louis McKay was 12 years old, a neighbor heard him singing in his backyard. She happened to be a pianist in the orchestra at the Starlight Theatre in San Diego and invited him to audition for the lead role in Oliver Twist. Soon after, McKay landed the role of Oliver. That experience was the beginning of an extraordinary musical career, which included being a lead singer, dancer and choreographer for the Debbie Reynolds Show. During the eight and a half years he was part of the show, McKay developed a close relationship with Debbie Reynolds that continued until the leading lady died on Dec. 28, 2016. McKay’s love of dance carried over into the studios he owned over the years, including North County Dance Arts in Carmel Valley, which he currently runs with his wife Tanya, a classically-trained ballerina. North County Dance Arts has been in business in San Diego County since 1981, beginning in a small studio in Solana Beach off the Coast Highway. The studio provides all levels of dance instruction from beginning to professional. It was voted “Best Dance Studio” in San Diego County for 36 years. McKay said he

Before hiring new teachers, McKay said he invites them to come and teach. “I make sure the teachers know how to break down the steps and have a great rapport with the kids,” said
McKay. McKay said the studio focuses on technique, terminology, and discipline in a nurturing environment. They take a sincere interest in all their students, encouraging and inspiring them in their love of dance. “When people come to the studio they feel appreciated, they feel liked and part of a family,” said McKay. “They tell us, ‘This is our home-away-from-home.’” Over the years, McKay learned many life lessons from Reynolds, which he now passes on to his own students at the studio. “You
want to teach the kids to respect each other and most of all to respect themselves,” said McKay. “That’s our goal.” Much of what he instills in his students is from many years of being a part of musical theater and the Debbie Reynolds Show. Following his performance in Oliver Twist, McKay joined a musical theater group called the Bright Side, which he was part of until he was 20 years old. He said that his father, a singer with the San Diego Opera, and mother, a lyrical soprano, were very supportive of his talents.
His father encouraged him to follow his dreams of becoming a professional singer and dancer. After borrowing $600, he helped McKay move to Los Angeles and get settled in a studio apartment in Hollywood. McKay began taking dance classes there. A friend in his tap class, Pat Rico, who was known for the movie “Tap,” encouraged McKay to audition for the Debbie Reynolds Show. McKay recalled Rico telling him the audition was 11 blocks away and started in a half hour. With a change of clothes as well as his tap and jazz shoes in hand, he ran to the audition. He soon realized that he had headed in the wrong direction. “I took off running again,” said McKay. When he arrived, he was told the audition had ended. After Reynold’s assistant heard his story, she talked to Reynolds about watching one more audition. When they asked what he wanted to sing, he replied that he was unprepared and had just found out about the audition a half hour earlier. They asked if he knew the lyrics to the Oliver Twist song, “Who Will Buy.” It happened to be one of his favorites from his first performance eight years earlier. McKay, just 20 years old, was hired as a back-up dancer and SEE DEBBIE, A22

Prostate Center of San Diego opens in La Jolla BY ASHLEY MACKIN To bring new options to the realm of prostate cancer, The Prostate Center of San Diego is now open in La Jolla, and offers an alternative James treatment not used Cooper for prostate cancer anywhere else in the United States. The facility is located at 4120 La Jolla Village Drive, within the Outpatient Surgical Center of La Jolla. The Center – with Michael local physicians Dr. Stehling Ross Schwartzberg and Dr. James Cooper – uses a procedure known as irreversible electroporation (IRE) or NanoKnife, which was adapted for the treatment of Roos Schwartzberg prostate cancer by Dr. Michael Stehling
of the Prostata Center in Offenbach, Germany. “IRE is not offered anywhere in San Diego for prostate cancer. It is used in the United States, usually at the larger cancer centers, but it’s mostly being used for other solid organs such as the kidneys or liver or pancreas,” said Cooper. “But it’s not being used for prostate cancer anywhere that I’m aware of.” Schwartzberg and Cooper are radiologists with expertise in prostate imaging that have successfully performed thousands of diagnostic and therapeutic image-guided procedures. The two became credentialed to be able to do the procedure last fall. “The system uses a minimum of two electrodes that create a small electric field in the gland. It surrounds the cancer cell and we turn on the probe to create and electric field that actually changes the membrane potential of the cell and kills it, but just that cell,” Cooper said. “The kill-zone is just that area and maybe a few millimeters around it, but that’s it.
ASHLEY MACKIN
The Prostate Center of San Diego is located at 4120 La Jolla Village Drive, within the Outpatient Surgical Center of La Jolla. The collateral damage of surrounding structures – most importantly the nerves and vessels – is minimal to zero, depending on where the cancer is. If it is right in the middle of the gland, there is almost no side effect, if it is closer to the edge where the nerves are, the risk gets a little higher, but nowhere near as high as other therapies.” According to press material, this results in far fewer side effects and a much faster recovery time. In most cases, patients are back on their feet the next day.
“Prostate cancer is a little different than other cancers because, fortunately, it tends to be more benign than not. The big challenge is finding the ones that are going to be a risk to the patient. More often than not, a patient will die with the cancer (from old age or something else) than from the cancer,” Copper said. He explained when diagnosing the cancer, physicians assign the cancer a number, known as the Gleason Score, from 2-10. With 2 being benign and 10 being the worst.
“Most people now think 6 or below either doesn’t need to be treated or can be watched,” he said. So when it comes to treatment, conventionally used therapies can be seen as extreme. “For decades, available treatments have been to do nothing, a complete removal of the prostate gland – which has significant side effects, mostly impotence and urinary incompetence in significant percentages – or whole gland radiation.” SEE PROSTATE, A21

Who loves short shorts? Joyce Axelrod! Introducing Jewish Film Fest’s ‘Queen of Shorts’ BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT eb. 8 marks the start of the 27th annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival (SDJFF), presented by the Center for Jewish Culture at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. This year’s 12-day festival, Feb. 8-19, features 60 films from 21 countries at five venues around the county, and is expected to attract thousands of viewers, Jews and non-Jews alike. One of the highlights is the Joyce Forum, a full day of short films on Monday, Feb. 13, at ArcLight Cinemas in Westfield UTC Mall. The Forum, which includes four 90-minute programs of films, each 2-30 minutes long, was named for SDJFF founder Joyce Axelrod. Axelrod’s life began in Española, a small town outside Santa Fe, where her father owned a furniture store and she was known as “the little Jew girl.” “My father came from Lithuania, he spoke Spanish better than English, and we were the only Jews in town,” she said. “His customers were Hispanics and Indians from the nearby reservations. When I was in third grade, we moved to Albuquerque, and later I went to college in Tucson, where I met my husband, Bob Axelrod, and started teaching school.” Widowed young, she took a job teaching in Japan, on an American airbase. “It was a fabulous experience, and when I came home, I was anxious to start a new job and a new life,” she said. “In 1970, I went to San Diego, loved it, and found a job teaching special education in El Cajon.” The program she developed for teaching simple skills to her students was so successful that school administrators asked her to make a video to show their progress. “They handed me a camcorder,
assured me they wouldn’t judge me on my cinematography, and I did a short piece that was good enough to use as a teaching tool.” In 1972, she met Joe Fisch, a local attorney, and fell in love. They bought a house together, but didn’t get married until 1991, in a “surprise wedding.” Among their other unconventional choices: every few years, they’d close up their house and live somewhere else for several months: Manhattan, Jerusalem, London, Philadelphia, Boston, Montreal, Seattle. “People look at me and think they know who I am,” Joyce said. “They’re always surprised to hear about all my adventures.” On the more traditional side, she joined the boards of various organizations, including the JCC’s Center for Jewish Culture, La Jolla Athenaeum, Playwrights Project, and the local branch of the United Jewish Federation, who asked her to create a slide presentation for their 50th anniversary in 1987. Then Lynette Allen, Director of Cultural Arts at the JCC, invited her to help start a film festival there. “At first, we set up 60 folding chairs in the gym and showed four films a year,” Joyce remembered. “Then someone said: why don’t you have a real festival, in a real theater? So in 1990, we rented Sherwood Auditorium (at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla), which holds 500 people, put up posters for the First Annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival, and showed four films in 10 days, with capacity crowds every time.” And what about shorts? “Back in the day, festivals only used shorts as filler,” she said. “If a feature ran under 90 minutes, we’d fill in with a

RSF Toastmasters to hold special event, ‘Catch the Liars,’ Feb. 7 Think you can spot a liar? Toastmasters isn't just about becoming a better speaker and leader. On Feb. 7, the RSF Toastmasters Club is hosting a special meeting. Teams of 3 Toastmaster members will each tell different versions of the same story, and the audience has to guess which one of the three is telling the truth. There will be a prize for the audience member who guesses correctly. RSF Toastmasters members have recently enjoyed speeches about the best homeopathic cures for the flu, how to use breathing exercises to de-stress and an adventure in the wilds of Alaska. The club also did a fun "Table Topics" story that began with the fictional event of inheriting a chinchilla farm in Arkansas. Each person took a turn expanding on the tale, and there was much laughter and inventiveness. Come join the fun. Guests are always welcome and don't have to participate in speaking unless they choose to do so. The RSF Toastmasters club meets Tuesdays at the RSF Library Founder's Room from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Questions? Contact Tim Canty at Timothy.Canty@WellsFargo Advisors.com.

Author tells of jihad, conquest and priceless manuscripts BY JOE TASH In 2012, under the radar of many Western countries, armed jihadis - some affiliated with Al Qaeda - took over a large swath of Mali, which borders Algeria and Mauritania in northern Africa. Along with its toll on the country’s residents, the terrorist occupation of Mali also put at risk a valuable historical resource - hundreds of thousands of precious, handwritten and illuminated manuscripts, containing ancient wisdom on all manner of subjects, from religion to science to art. The jihadis, who were known to destroy ancient temples and artifacts, threatened at one point in the occupation to burn the manuscripts. Determined to protect the manuscripts of Timbuktu, one of Mali’s major cities, a group of librarians and literature lovers risked their lives to protect the hand-written tomes, smuggling them out of the repositories where they resided and secreting them in trunks and foot-lockers in a series of safe-houses. In one particularly hazardous operation, the rescuers transported the trunks in small boats on the Niger River. The story of how the manuscripts were saved from destruction at the hands of terrorists is detailed in “The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu,” by Joshua Hammer, who was the featured speaker at the January meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. The book was published by Simon & Schuster in 2016. In the book’s prologue, Hammer describes how a young librarian was accosted by armed jihadis at a checkpoint, his four-wheel drive filled with precious cargo: “He cast a glance at

There, covered with blankets, lay five padlocked steamer trunks, each one filled with treasure: hundreds of illuminated manuscripts, including some from the 15th and 16th centuries, the Golden Age of Timbuktu. Encased in goatskin covers with inlaid semiprecious stones, they were gorgeous works composed by the most skillful scribes of the era, fragile pages covered with dense calligraphy and complex geometrical designs in a multitude of colors. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the terrorist group that had seized the north of the country four months earlier, had several times vowed on television and radio to respect them, but few in the city believed their promises. The extremists had declared jihad against anyone and anything that challenged their
vision of a pure Islamic society, and these artifacts - treatises about logic, astrology, and medicine, paeans to music, poems idealizing romantic love - represented 500 years of human joy. They celebrated the sensual and the secular, and they bore the explicit message that humanity, as well as God, was capable of creating beauty. They were monumentally subversive. And there were thousands of manuscripts just like these hidden in safe houses in Timbuktu.” Hammer, a former Newsweek bureau chief for Africa, who now writes as a freelancer for Smithsonian and Outside magazines, said he first learned of the manuscripts of Timbuktu while researching an article in the mid-2000s.

Kader Haidara, the architect of the manuscript rescue effort, and he returned to Mali in 2013 as the French Army drove out the terrorists. The book, along with providing fascinating details about the manuscripts and the rescue operation, also provides a portrait of three central jihadist leaders. “I felt people would want to know a bit about these guys,” said Hammer in an interview before his talk at the literary society. While many of the terrorists met with violent ends, some survived to go on and fight with ISIS, Hammer said. “After they were driven out by the French, they made it to the next jihad hot spot,” he said. The manuscripts remain in Bamako, in southern Mali, the country’s capital, said Hammer, while Mali’s once thriving tourist trade has dried up to “zero.” In the book, Hammer also conveyed his appreciation for the local culture, including desert blues music festivals that once drew such rock luminaries as Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and U2’s Bono. “Mali, of all those countries in the Sahel (region of Africa) does seem to be this hotbed of art and music and literature, and it’s been that way for 600 years or longer,” he said. Hammer, who lives in Berlin with his family, is now thinking about his next book, which may be set in America, and has also been approached by a London-based film producer who wants to make a docu-drama about “The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu.” “I think it’s doable,” he said of the film project. Hammer’s book, “The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu,” is available on amazon.com.

Orphan pup: From filth to fab to forever home
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
U.S. poet laureate Juan Felipe Herrera addresses a crowd of The Bishop’s School students Tuesday, Jan. 25.
Poet laureate on ‘mission’ to inspire Bishop’s School students BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN In one of their first encounters, U.S. poet laureate Juan Felipe Herrera and the students at The Bishop’s School, where he’s spending a week as the 2017 Endowed Scholer-in-Residence, he asked a student for her family’s origin. “She took her time,” Herrera said, adding that he could feel momentum growing in the class, and when she revealed the answer, “There was an inner emotional insightful moment. That’s my mission.” Herrera explained he’s on a quest to help students achieve their highest expression potential. “When you say something in a poem, people can relate to that. That’s what you can do with poetry but it needs to have sincerity, your full attention and freedom to express yourself at that level,” he explained. The poet, the first Mexican-American to be United States poet laureate, spoke to the entire The Bishop’s School student body Jan. 24. “Do what you really like to do. I have a Ph.D. in daydreaming. If you like to daydream, daydream. My daydreams became all this,” he said. Herrera, who grew up in San Diego, credited his teachers for challenging him, prompting the growth that made him become a poet. “Your teachers present you with life puzzles sometimes. When I was in 6th grade, my teacher wanted me to do a theater piece on Peru. My teacher had a lot of faith and support in me. I didn’t know how to do it, but I crunched it
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
The Bishop’s School gym was a full house to receive U.S. poet laureate Juan Herrera. out and somehow with my wizard genius I did it,” he explained, and immediately started playing his harmonica, one of the highlights of his lectures for students. He also told students about his struggles as the son of Mexican migrant farmers growing up in San Diego. Herrera illustrated with point with the story of a time when his teacher asked him “Juan, what are you?” And he replied, “What am I … I am Hawaiian. Because I had just come back from San Francisco and I had amazing friends from Hawaii, but I’m Mexican and I said, I’m not going to lie anymore. I told myself, I don’t want to be scared or nervous when my teachers ask me a question anymore.” For his poetry, Herrera often uses Spanish and English waived together into a whirlwind of rhythms and words. Asked how an only-English speaker would understand his poetry, he said, “You don’t have to know what those words mean, you can just look at them, and you’re good. There’s no requirements in poetry, even if you know all the languages in the poem.”
Herrera invited students to write “celebration poems” and read them or give them to someone. “A poem does not exist if you do not give it away. It is empty if you not read it out in your beautiful voice. It has to have your voice, without your voice is not really a poem.” He insisted “giving” is especially important in the present times, because “people are feeling a little agitated. It’s good to have a gift from someone else, a stranger especially, someone that they don’t know, or maybe know a little bit. It’s very deep and magical. You don’t have to think too much, it can be a poem about what happened today, or how you feel, or what you dreamed about. Or just a few words,” he continued. He said that one of his first experience as a student was when his teacher told him to sing in front of his entire class. “She said, Juan, you have a beautiful voice! I don’t have a voice Miss, I don’t talk at all. And that was my life puzzle. I had to figure it out. … And all of you, students at The Bishop’s School, have beautiful voices. Every single one of you.”
When Bobby arrived at Helen Woodward Animal Center in early January, his filthy, matted fur was more than unsightly, it was painful. Mats between his toes made walking uncomfortable and bloody lesions festered under dirt-crusted knots. The male Bichon Frise blend seemed to be suffering the effects of many years of neglect. Shockingly, his medical exam revealed that he just 18 months old making him little more than a puppy. Transferred from an over-crowded shelter in the California desert, few details were available about Bobby’s history. When he arrived at Helen Woodward Animal Center, his future wasn’t looking so certain either. After his initial medical exam, Center staff contacted Sydnee’s Pet Grooming and asked if they’d be willing to help with Bobby’s medically-necessary makeover. They agreed and Bobby was soon swept off to the salon. The results? Astounding.
COURTESY
From dingy to dapper, Bobby is looking fine after a full make-over by Sydnee’s pet grooming. Underneath Bobby’s unkempt mane was an adorable pup, and without illness and injuries holding him back, his playful personality shone. It’s no wonder that just days after his makeover, he found his forever family. “It’s amazing what a little love can do,” said LaBeth Thompson, intake manager at Helen Woodward Animal Center. “We didn’t know what we’d find under all of that mess, but we knew he deserved a chance. A pair of
caring hands, some soap, and a few days later, he’s someone’s beloved pet. That’s what it’s all about.” Bobby is now in his forever home with his mom, dad and human brother.

Scripps physician co-writes book on reconstructive facial surgery Salvatore J. Pacella, M.D., division head of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Scripps Clinic and Scripps Green Hospital, has co-written a textbook detailing the latest advances in facial reconstruction after skin cancer. The book, “Aesthetic Facial Reconstruction After Mohs Surgery,” includes a chapter written by Hubert Greenway, M.D., chairman of Mohs and dermatologic surgery at Scripps Clinic. The textbook is a comprehensive guide on the repair of soft tissue defects of the face after Mohs surgery. Mohs surgery is regarded as the most effective treatment for most types of skin cancer. “Being diagnosed with skin cancer can be a devastating experience for anyone. Of course you want to have
Salvatore J. Pacella, M.D. the cancer removed but you also want to be satisfied with all the results. This includes repairing all aspects of the face
with minimal scarring,” Pacella said. “This book focuses on the latest advances in plastic surgery that minimize scarring so that it can be barely perceptible.” Pacella provided more than 30 hand-drawn illustrations for the book, which contains more than 700 photographs and comes with a five-hour instructional video. Pacella, a local resident, is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and is on the board of the Scripps Clinic Medical Group. He also volunteers with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, a nonprofit that provides free reconstructive plastic surgery for children with facial deformities. Visit www.scripps.org.

Village Viewpoints to present ‘The Ballerina of Auschwitz’ at Feb. 12 event in RSF “The Ballerina of Auschwitz,” Dr. Edith Eva Eger, will be the guest speaker at the Feb. 12 Village Viewpoints event at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. Eger was taken to Auschwitz when she was 16, one of three Hungarian Jewish daughters. Her father was a tailor and her mother a civil servant and they lived in a small town in what is modern day Slovakia. In March 1944, late in World War II, Hungarian Nazis came to her house and arrested her family. The Jews in Hungary were among the last of Europe’s Jewish communities to be targeted by the Nazis. The family was taken to other internment centers before they were finally loaded into a train and shipped to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, occupied by Nazi Germany. Upon arriving at Auschwitz, Dr. Josef Mengele,
a top medical officer “stood at the end of a line of prisoners deciding who would go to the gas Dr. Edith chambers Eva Eger and who would head for the prison barracks.” Edith was pulled aside by Mengele and not allowed to follow her mother. Her parents died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz along with more than a million other Jews. This would not be her final encounter with the infamous SS doctor who later became known as the “Angel of Death.” “Dr. Mengele came to the barracks and wanted to be entertained,” Eger says. Fellow inmates “volunteered” Eger to perform for the man who had ordered her parents’ SEE EGER, A22

Egyptian ambassador visits tapestry display at Botanic Garden BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY After installing an exhibit of 24 Egyptian garden-themed tapestries earlier this month, the San Diego Botanic Garden hosted a visit by Egyptian Ambassador Lamia Mekhemar on Jan. 19. The tapestries, which are on display through March 31 and came from the Ramses Wissa Wassef Art Centre in Egypt, were originally developed as an experiment in creativity in 1952 by leading Egyptian architect Ramses Wissa Wassef, who believed everyone possesses artistic skills but these develop only when they practice the crafts as children. Wassef then began teaching children to weave, which is a skill they brought into adulthood. The children were instructed to depict whatever they liked but copying, preliminary designs and help from adults were not allowed. The goal was to show any child can create works of art, confirming that creativity starts at youth. Since Wissa Wassef died in 1974, his widow Sophie and daughters Suzanne and Yoanna expanded the experiment, guiding more children to master weaving. Now, 30 adult wool and cotton weavers work at the Art Centre in Egypt. Eighteen wool and six cotton tapestries have been on display in

Mekhemar, who was visiting from the Consulate General of Egypt in Los Angeles, said the displayed pieces used a dying technique, from henna and local plants, that belongs to Egypt. She considered the art expressive. “You see the evolution of the art from childhood to adulthood,” she said. “You can see the character of each of the artists.” As he was leading Mekhemar on a
tour of the exhibit, Julian Duval, president and CEO of the San Diego Botanic Garden, said he believes children taking the time to learn art in the United States is rare. “I think the idea of children having so many things available to them these days and virtual reality, it makes it difficult for a child to want to take the time to learn artistic techniques,” he said. “I think there’s something sad about that. This [weaving] can take a long time, but it’s something you produce with your hands, which is a human

One piece, which is not on display in the exhibit, includes poinsettias, which were originally grown by Ecke Ranch in Encinitas about a century ago and have become a staple flower during Christmastime. “The plants in many of the tapestries are from all over the world, and it’s very interesting that this one was done with poinsettias,” Duval

said. “I think that it makes me feel good because it talks about the universality of some of these things. It doesn’t matter where you come from. The beauty of nature is something we all share in different ways.” Mekhemar said she was excited to see Egyptian art on display. “I’m glad to see it’s well appreciated because this is so spontaneous,” she said. “It comes from the environment, from the attitudes of people and how they feel inside. The art really reflects that.” Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear, who also attended the tour, said Mekhemar’s visit is a testament to the hard work performed at the San Diego Botanic Garden. “Encinitas is lucky to draw such prominent people to see the resources that we have,” she said. “The San Diego Botanic Garden is an example of a premiere garden in the region, and [Mekhemar] wanting to come down and see the things we have here is a reflection of that.” The 24 pieces on display are for sale, with proceeds divided between the garden, artist and curator Glenn Weiss, Duval said. About a half dozen have been sold since the exhibit opened. For more information, visit www.sdbgarden.org.

The Oaks Farms recently upgraded its equestrian facilities.
Del Mar homebuilder’s unique Oaks Farms project named ‘Nation’s Best New Community’ BY STACEY PHILLIPS Amid rolling hills and large oak trees sits a world-class equestrian center in the upscale community of Oaks Farms. During a typical day, you’ll find horse trainers and riders on the 20-acre property located in San Juan Capistrano. Developed by the Del-Mar based homebuilder Davidson Communities, Oaks Farms has been the recipient of multiple awards. In January, it was named the nation’s Best New Community by the National Association of Home Builders. The Oaks Farms also received top honors for Best Landscaping and Best Interior Merchandising. “I’m honored and delighted, but most of all so pleased for the team who worked so hard and so well together to make this happen,” said Bill Davidson, president of Davidson Communities. “The Oaks was literally a once-in-a-lifetime project.” Thirty-two single-family homes, currently under construction in the gated community, feature open floor plans and indoor/outdoor living. The architecture is a combination of Farmhouse Modern and Adobe-Ranch. The Oaks Farms was also recognized as North America’s Project of the Year at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference 2016 Gold Nugget Awards ceremony and Best New Community from the Southern California Building Industry Association. “For us, this is the Triple Crown of homebuilding,” said Bill. Once owned by Joan Irvine Smith, the great-granddaughter of the legendary California pioneer James Irvine, the property was sold to Davidson Communities in 2013. Bill said the goal was to preserve and enhance the history of the area while incorporating modern advancements. “It was a huge responsibility and we took it very seriously,” he said. This included preserving 12 heritage oaks estimated to be more than 100 years old. In addition, hundreds of other trees and native plans were saved. The live oaks were relocated and can now be seen gracing the entry to the

Bill Davidson community as well as on the perimeter streets. Smith’s vintage rose garden was also preserved. The Davidson team established an on-site nursery to propagate oak seedlings, ornamental shrubs and multiple succulent varieties, which were then replanted throughout the 20 acres. Original materials from old barns, fences, railing and stalls were also preserved and used throughout the property. Part of the project included renovating the equestrian facilities and The Oaks Farms now has two riding rings, a lunging ring, 10 turnouts, two new tack rooms and a new laundry room. A 2,250-square-foot Social Barn, which includes a stone fireplace and barbecue facilities, was built for spectators. The equestrian facility is operated independently from the enclave of new homes. Bill said it took a year and a half to obtain the necessary approvals to move forward on the project. It is estimated to take an additional year to build the final phase of homes. “We went as far as the East Coast in search of SEE COMMUNITY, A22

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON
International Baccalaureate coming to San Dieguito One of the most exciting developments in years for the San Dieguito Union High School District is the advent of an International Baccalaureate program at La Costa Canyon High School. Beginning in the fall of 2018, LCC will offer the two-year IB Diploma Programme, starting with 11th-graders and adding on in 2019 to include 12th-graders. That means this year’s current ninth-graders will qualify to participate in LCC’s first IB class. LCC administrators said students can also transfer in, as space allows, from other San Dieguito schools. IB has spread over the last 45 years to more than 130 countries, and as of this year the organization says it has 5,964 programs offered worldwide in 4,583 schools. Four programs are available: the Primary Years Programme for ages 3-12, the Middle Years Programme for ages 11-16, the Diploma Programme for ages 16-19, and the Career-Related Programme for ages 16-19. The Diploma Programme, founded in 1968, is the two-year curriculum for high school students and is the oldest of the four programs. In addition to standard academic material, IB students learn critical thinking, global awareness, community service, intercultural understanding and responsible citizenry. Through experiential, discovery-based learning, IB students are educated with an international perspective. Founded in 1968 in Geneva, Switzerland, International Baccalaureate is a non-profit organization governed by an elected 17-member board of governors. According to its website [www.ibo.org], the main sources of income are authorization and evaluation fees, workshops and conferences, publications, annual school fees, examination fees, and other fees including donations. IB’s Diploma Programme (DP) includes three core elements: •theory of knowledge (students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know) • extended essay (independent self-directed research, explained in a 4,000-word paper) •creativity, activity, service – or CAS (students complete a project
related to those three concepts) “Through the DP core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service,” the website states. The aim is to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills. The extended essay is similar to a dissertation. It’s a research project that students, working with a mentor teacher, will complete in their junior year, explained Thea Chadwick, LCC English teacher and the school’s IB coordinator. In addition, students take courses in six subject groups: studies in language and literature (critical analysis of literary texts), language acquisition (foreign language), individuals and societies, science, mathematics and the arts. In the category of individuals and societies, approved IB classes include: business management, economics, geography, global politics, history, information technology in a global society, philosophy, psychology, social and cultural anthropology, and world religions. The goal is to have students gain a deep appreciation for human experience and behavior, the history of social and cultural institutions, and the varieties of physical, economic and social environments that people inhabit. Science courses include biology, computer science, chemistry, design technology, physics, and sports, exercise and health science. The arts include dance, music, film, theater and visual arts. Chadwick said not every class will be offered to start with. “We are still working on exactly what courses (within the subject areas) we will initially offer that first year and what we will ‘roll out’ as we progress,” she said. “The plan is to expand course offerings as we move forward in the program.” IB vs. AP The high school Diploma Programme is a major commitment from students. Some describe it as more than a program and more like a lifestyle, due to its high expectations for rigorous academics, emphasis on global citizenry and community service component. Recognized internationally as an exceptional inquiry-based program, IB offers two levels of
www.rsfreview.com coursework – standard level and higher level. Students take at least three (not more than four). subjects at higher level, and the remaining at standard level. The website explains that students are expected to demonstrate a greater body of knowledge, understanding and skills in higher level classes. As with Advanced Placement classes, weighted grades will be offered for IB, in Years 1 and 2 and for both standard and higher level classes. Students can take IB classes and earn the weighted grade without being in the Diploma Programme, and they do not need to fulfill the three Core components. The Core is only required of the IB Diploma candidates. Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s Associate Superintendent of Educational Services, said to graduate with an IB Diploma, students need to take classes in a range of subject areas, not like AP where students can take just one class. IB and AP also differ in their assessments. For IB, multiple assessments are built into the school year, unlike AP which has a single test at the end of the year. “The actual number of [IB] assessments varies by course,” Grove said. “Some have four, some may have three or five. Most of these are embedded within the course, with one summative assessment at the end.” Although many compare IB with AP, they are very different approaches to education. Said one administrator, “AP is built around an exam, and IB is built around a philosophy of learning.” AP classes will continue to be offered at LCC as well. Intensive process LCC principal Bryan Marcus said the change in the bell schedule this year, from six periods to seven, works well for the IB program. He said his teachers (which currently number 85, not all full-time) are enthused about the program, with many interested in IB training. He said he has hired 13 new teachers this year, some with IB experience from other schools. Chadwick has already progressed in her training, and four other teachers, possibly six, have signed up for training in Houston next month. The hope is that 14 teachers at LCC will complete their IB training in time for the 2018 roll-out. LCC currently has a counselor trained in IB to help students select courses. Grove said an application was submitted to the IB organization last April and was approved in June. LCC is now classified as a candidate and is working on becoming authorized. Becoming an authorized IB school is an intensive process and includes site visits by an IB team and regular evaluations.
To be authorized, Marcus said his school is implementing an action plan that includes building capacity among staff and proving that the school has the necessary resources (technology, media center, etc.) to sustain the program. This is similar, he said, to what schools need to do to receive accreditation from WASC (the Western Association of Schools and Colleges). Going through this process to receive IB authorization “has brought our staff closer together,” Marcus said. Other nearby schools with successful IB programs include Ocean Knoll in the Encinitas Union School District and Rancho Buena Vista High School and Vista High School in Vista. Marcus, who is in his third year as principal at LCC, said one catalyst for pursuing the IB program is to increase interest and enrollment at LCC. Changing the bell schedule to allow kids to take more than six classes a year helped, he said. But being the only school in the district to offer a powerful program like IB will, he hopes, provide another strong incentive for students to select LCC as their school of choice. Marcus is aware of the cultural misperception that LCC is a “jock school” with a focus on sports. He’s working to inform the community that LCC is more than that, that it’s a well-rounded school with strengths in academics and the arts, as well as athletics. He noted that a number of seniors have been accepted to top-ranked universities for this fall, the school now has five sections of theater (up from just two a few years ago), and pep rallies focus on the entirety of the school’s strengths and not just sports. Cost Grove said the district will pay all fees for LCC’s International Baccalaureate program, which break down annually as follows: • $11,000 IB membership fee • $10,000 for ongoing teacher training (more for start-up) •$10,000 for instructional materials •$5,000 for teacher stipends for CAS and Extended Essay •Cost for release time for one period for IB coordinator “We know the actual cost for some of these items, and we’re estimating for some,” Grove said. “I made sure to estimate on the high side, especially once the program is SEE SUTTON, A21

CCA boys basketball team Naturalist to discuss improves to 16-5 overall the world of sea turtles
VINCENZO PELUSO
Ryan Michaels scored 12 points in the Ravens’ victory over Sage Creek (9-12).
The Canyon Crest Academy’s boys varsity basketball team chalked up conference wins last week against Sage Creek 56-37 and San Dieguito Academy 67-59. The victories moved the Ravens to 3-1 in league play and second place in the Avocado West Conference, trailing only Torrey Pines who sits on top of the conference at 4-0. A large early lead and a balanced offensive attack carried the Ravens to victory over Sage Creek (9-12) with Ryan Michaels and Tyler Elsom leading the way with 12 and 11 points respectively, while forward MJ Metz pulled down a season high 14 rebounds. Hot shooting aided a motivated San Dieguito Academy (7-15) team to a one point first half lead, but the Ravens found the range in the third quarter and pulled away in the fourth. MJ Metz was strong on both ends of the court with 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Ryan Michaels again led with 20 points. CCA was ranked #1 in the CIF Division 2 Power Rankings as of Jan. 29. The Ravens continue league play against La Costa Canyon (15-6) on Tuesday, Jan. 31 (after presstime for this newspaper) and Carlsbad (11-11) on Friday, Feb. 3. Both games are at home.
The American Cetacean Society will present Jeremy Smith discussing, “Sea Turtles in America, My Experience,” 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8 at Sumner Auditorium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The lecture is free to the public. Smith works for San Diego Whale Watch, where he’s been a naturalist for the last four years. His background includes educational work at the North Carolina Aquarium, Duke Marine Lab and Sea Camp San Diego, where he’s taught kids about marine science. His sea turtle experience began in 2001 on the beaches of southern Florida. He’s worked with loggerheads, hawksbills, leatherbacks and green turtle species on nesting beaches including Barbados and Saint Croix. He spends his summers in St. Croix helping biologist Kelly Stewart (who writes the monthly Natural La Jolla column in the La Jolla Light) with a population analysis and genetics study of leatherback sea turtles. Directions to the event can be found at acssandiego.org

FROM SUTTON, A18 up and running. I believe that our actual annual costs will be less.” The total estimate comes to about $56,000 per year, and he said this would be paid completely out of the district’s general fund. Parents will not be asked to financially support the program, he confirmed. In an email, Grove reiterated that no parent donations or foundation support will be required to sustain the IB program. “We are committed to supporting the core costs of the program,” he said. The only fundraising that might take place to support the IB program, he said, would be to raise money for enrichment activities related to the program, such as field
trips, and to assist students with the cost of the assessments. IB assessments, like AP exams, are pricey and not included in the program. To receive an IB Diploma, students need to pass the assessments which cost about $116 per class. Students would need to pay for this directly, just as they do for AP exams. Not the first time This isn’t the first time San Dieguito has considered incorporating IB into its schools. An Intent-to-Apply was submitted in 2007 for Earl Warren Middle School and Torrey Pines High School, and both schools were accepted. IB’s Middle Years Program was planned for the schools’ seventh, eighth and ninth grades.
At the time, this idea was promoted as a way to attract middle school students to Earl Warren and away from overcrowded Carmel Valley Middle School. But in 2008, discussions came to a halt over budget issues. Rick Schmitt, who in 2008 was the district’s associate superintendent of educational services, said the idea was also proposed for Torrey Pines back in 1996 and again in 2003. The issue was dropped back then for lack of staff support and to focus on more pressing issues. Although this is not the first time IB has been considered in the district, this is the first time it’s progressed this far. As an added bonus, this may be the first time in six
years that there’s been an issue that the five members of this divided school board can all enthusiastically support. The International Baccalaureate program will be discussed at La Costa Canyon’s high school selection forum on Monday, Feb. 6. The forum is open to the public and will provide students and parents with information on LCC and all its programs. The pep rally starts at 5:30 p.m., and the offerings fair begins at 6:15. La Costa Canyon currently serves about 2,000 students in grades 9-12 and is located at One Maverick Way in Carlsbad. Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

FROM PROSTATE, A5 These options reportedly involve a very high risk of side effects, with impotence rates as high as 70 percent, as well as a high incidence of urinary incontinence. Faced with these risks, many patients choose to forego treatment and instead take a “wait-and-see” approach, in which they and their physicians watch for signs of tumor progression before taking any treatment action. “We believe that patients shouldn’t have to choose between actively fighting their cancer and giving up on their current quality of life,” said Stehling. “With IRE, we are able to offer them the best of both worlds: an effective, proactive treatment option that also lets them get on with their normal, daily lives as
soon as possible.” Stehling recently presented an analysis of clinical data from over 380 patients treated over a five-year period at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, the world’s largest radiology conference. He reported that the new image-guided procedure had a 100 percent success rate in treating the local cancer, which means that each tumor treated was effectively destroyed. Cooper said, “We’re happy to be collaborating with Dr. Stehling because this is such a common disease, diagnosed daily on a national scale. So now we have the equipment and are ready to go, we are just getting the ball rolling.” Learn more at (866) 833-8262. prostatecentersd.com

Leucadia. Since then, the company has built more than 45 new home communities throughout California. They include San Francisco, Marin County, Rancho Mirage, San Diego and the California Delta. The company has also renovated several historic structures. These include the four-year restoration of the Canfield-Wright House in Del Mar — a Spanish Revival mansion built in 1910; and the Amy Strong Castle in Ramona — the centerpiece of Davidson’s Mt. Woodson master-planned community. Both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “We’ve been very fortunate to find assets like The Oaks Farms, the old Amy Strong Castle at Mt. Woodson, and the old Canfield-Wright House in Del Mar,” said Bill. “We get a tremendous amount of pleasure in restoring and enhancing these unique properties. If you haven’t seen The Oaks, you really should—whether you’re an equestrian lover or not.” Over the years, Bill said he has seen many changes as a homebuilder. “The changes I have observed have been in the way people live,” said Bill. “The trend has moved toward the great room concept and as much flexibility in the floor plan as possible.” Bill said his greatest joy is “when homeowners tell me how much they enjoy the house we built, and that they have turned it into a home.” For more information, visit www.davidsoncommunities.com, TheOaksFarmsLiving.com or call 949-391-0920.

singer for the Debbie Reynolds Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. “The whole thing was a dream,” said McKay. “That’s how my whole life has been.” They performed at the major hotels, including the Riviera, the Desert Inn, the Frontier and the Sands. In addition, they performed throughout the United States and Europe as well as in Australia, New Zealand and Mexico City. “We traveled the world,” said McKay “They were the most amazing years of my life.” The first five years he was a lead dancer and sang. Eventually, he began choreographing her show as well and appeared in “Annie Get Your Gun” on Broadway. “She always included us and made us feel like we were a family and that’s what she was always about,” said McKay. He said when she was invited to dinner, “…she always took us and paid for everything. Always. She treated us like her own children.”
McKay was part of her show during a time when Reynolds was having financial difficulties. He said he’ll never forget when she called him up to her room and gave McKay a $5,000 check to put toward expenses. He and his wife had recently had a baby and her gesture meant the world to him. During this time, he also operated dance studios in San Diego. At one time, he and Tanya were managing four of them. Reynolds came to the grand opening of two of the studios. “She came down from Los Angeles and even performed a couple of numbers for the audience,” said McKay. An autographed photograph in his dance studio from Debbie Reynolds, says,” To Louis, My ‘2nd’ Son! You are a marvelous talent and a great dancer. Happy Teaching, Love, Debbie.” McKay said he continues to choreograph and teach at North County Dance Arts seven days a week. “There’s never a bad day,” said McKay. “You’re with kids who love what they are doing. And you dance all day.” Visit www.northcountydancearts.com.

Steve Martin returns to Globe with ‘Picasso at the Lapin Agile’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER The world of Paris 1904 as seen through Steve Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” awaits The Old Globe Theatre playgoers Feb. 4 to March 12. Those who saw Martin’s previous Globe productions — the world premiere of the musical “Bright Star,” which earned five Tony Award nominations on Broadway or the world premiere of the comedy “Meteor Shower” — will not want to miss his exciting take on this classic. Back in the day, Lapin Agile was a treasured cabaret for struggling artists, comedians, writers and intellectuals. Portraying them in this cast are Philippe Bowgen as Pablo Picasso; Donald Faison as Freddy; Kevin Hafso-Koppman as Visitor; Liza Lapira as Suzanne, Countess and Female Admirer; Hal Linden as Gaston; Ron Orbach as Sagot; Marcel Spears as Charles Dabernow Schmendiman; and Luna Vélez as Germaine. Justin Long stars as Albert Einstein. You may remember Long as actor, producer, director and writer (“Dodgeball,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “New Girl,” “Ed”). “I’m a huge fan of Steve Martin’s comedy and writing,” Long said. “I enjoyed reading this play years ago, and thought how fun it would be to do it. My friend, Justin Wallman, who is part of The Old Globe, and I did a play together a few years ago, so it was an easy choice. We want to bring some happiness to this world, and I’m fortunate I can participate in some of that.” Einstein was one of several characters who strolled into the Lapin Agile where the regulars would gather and talk about their work. “I liked how Hal Linden said it was a bit like an episode of ‘Cheers,’ and if Einstein was part of that show he would be Frasier Crane because he loved to argue,” Long said. “Some of these characters end up being very important figures of the 20th century. They debate love, life and art to a heightened reality that is so fun. No one has a better ear for comedy than Steve Martin, so it has great dialogue —
rhythmic, cerebral and sometimes stupid in the best way of joy and fun. There are moments that are more profound and there’s a pee joke — it’s quintessential Steve Martin.” Long said he did some research about the historical figures in the play. “That research made it easier for me to inhabit the parts about Justin Long plays Einstein’s shoes and mustache, Albert Einstein. and get an overview of his theory of relativity. I have to speak in scientific terms and see scientific abstracts in a beautiful way. I remember the character Professor Ludwig Von Drake in Walt Disney’s cartoons, and comic book characters ... that was my first introduction to Einstein, but it was a little over the top with the accents and Einstein has to be clear. There are moments in the show that are kind of like Marx Brothers-esque; the lines are very rhythmic and remind me of Groucho.” Long said he agrees that Martin’s work is forefront on the American stage, and he likes the humanity he puts forth in this script. “The way he frames ideas and stories with humor and depth creates so much meaning, and yet he keeps it funny,” Long said. “I think that’s a difficult marriage and that’s why I’ve always been a fan. Anyone with a profound fondness for art and life, and who is curious about how science figures into that, will enjoy this comedy. I find it fascinating to see these humans mix, and to imagine how they drank a beer, talked, carried themselves, sat at a bar, danced .... or tried to hook up with the same girl.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” runs through March 12 on The Old Globe Theatre’s Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego. Tickets from $29. (619) 234-5623. theoldglobe.org

National Charity League, Inc. San Dieguito Senior Waltz Dinner
M
embers of the class of 2017 of the National Charity League, Inc. San Dieguito Chapter (NCL, Inc. San Dieguito) and their parents and escorts enjoyed a special evening at their Waltz Dinner held Jan. 8 at the Estancia Hotel in La Jolla. In preparation for their Senior Recognition, the girls (called Ticktockers) and their fathers and escorts enjoyed a special waltz-dancing lesson. Fathers and escorts contributed heart-warming toasts to their wives and daughters in celebration of their six-year NCL journeys. The evening concluded with a very special touch as each of the Ticktockers shared letters they had written to their mothers out loud in front of the entire audience. These touching sentiments were precious and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Grade Level Advisor and Senior parent Marie Morse complimented, “What poise and courage and confidant the girls demonstrated!” The families couldn’t be more proud of the girls. The Waltz Dinner is a special tradition for the senior class and a lovely prelude to the chapter’s Combined Event, which features Senior Recognition, and the 10th grade class Fashion Show on March 12. NCL, Inc. San Dieguito currently has 268 members and provides hands-on volunteer service for 24 philanthropic organizations in the community. Members are women and their daughters in grades 7-12. Through this community service, NCL, Inc. develops socially responsible community leaders and strengthens the mother-daughter relationship. The traditional six-year core program also includes leadership development and cultural activities. For more information about the NCL, Inc., San Dieguito, please visit www.sandieguito.nationalcharityleague.org.

Sip of success: Local resident creates Cosa Salvaje tequila BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Elle France is hoping to change the tequila drinking experience with her new Cosa Salvaje tequila. She has put her own “sexy and sweet” take on the Mexican liquor and it has been picking up momentum since its first pours in August of last year. “I’ve always loved tequila and the tradition that goes into making it,” said France of the method of making true tequila in Jalisco, Mexico from the native agave plant. “My tequila is a sipping tequila, like a cognac. You don’t shoot it, you sip it.” Cosa Salvaje, which translates to “wild thing,” is made from 100 percent blue agave in a distillery in Jalisco. The smooth-drinking tequila features sweet, warm, spicy, peppery, herbaceous flavors and France promises even non-tequila drinkers will love it. It is now being sold at Carmel Valley Liquor, Seaside Market, Rancho Santa Fe Market and Deli, Old Town Liquor, Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido and is on the menu at Pacific Coast Grill. France has lived in the Carmel Valley area for several years and both of her children went to Torrey Pines High School. She has a background in marketing and also

Elle France has a new tequila on the market, Cosa Salvaje. worked as a matchmaker in Rancho Santa Fe — her matchmaking expertise has been featured in a reality show called “The Romance,” a dating show that features 14 women competing for the affection of 10 eligible bachelors in San Diego. The show will begin airing Feb. 12 and is also available to view online (find out more at theromance.tv). France started her tequila project a year and a half ago. In doing research, she found a consultant in
Cosa Salvaje tequila. Jalisco and took a leap of faith. It turned out to be the best leap she ever took, finding the perfect person to help her in the process (she declines to name him for the sake of keeping a little mystery). At the Mexican distillery, she tasted several different tequilas and created her own tequila profile. She chose to make Cosa Salvaje tequila blanco, which means unaged. “The margarita is the number
one mixed drink in the world and blanco tequila is used for it,” France said. The bottles are made out of recycled glass in Mexico, so each has its own unique imperfections and wrapped around the cork is a strap of top-of-the-line leather, stamped with the Cosa Salvaje logo. The shape is like a flask but a “super sultry and sexy, 007-style” that France loves.
The artwork on the bottles features three different ladies — one of them is a familiar blonde. And unlike many liquor bottles, the artwork continues on the back of the bottle, showing the backs of the ladies on the front. When the first batch of tequila arrived in August, France said it was crazy and “mind-boggling” to think she had her own tequila brand. She has been doing her best to just step back and enjoy the moments —like seeing her brand on a menu or when she went into Carmel Valley Liquor, where Cosa Salvaje has its very own shelf, and met a couple who had just purchased 30 bottles of her tequila. She is grateful for the support she has received from the local community and for the building excitement around the Cosa Salvaje brand — the tequila will be featured at a pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles this month and is being poured in actor David Arquette’s bar Bootsy Bellows in Aspen, Colo. She hopes to get as many people as possible to take a sip and experience something a little different and a little wild.

He loves going for fun adventures and has a real zest for all life has to offer. According to his previous owners, this happy-go-lucky boy has done well around children, cats and other large dogs, but doesn’t always like to share his things so older children may be best. Piston is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E. Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

Preserving La Jolla: Historical Community La Jolla has been earning its reputation as “the jewel” of San Diego ever since it was incorporated into the city in 1850. Its nickname stems not only from La Jolla’s beautiful natural landscape, but also from the structures built upon it. La Jolla has a uniquely dense architectural history from historic beach cottages to Mid-Century modern homes to the striking designs of Irving Gill. My great-grandfather, Ernie, who started his career as a carpenter in southern DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263 sdveininstitute.com
England, came to La Jolla in the 1920s and founded a family construction company here. My grandfather, father, and I have all continued the tradition of community involvement that Ernie began back in the 1920s. Our family built the Soledad Cross and conceived and built the Mount Soledad War Memorial. My father, George Dewhurst, planted the pine tree on the corner of Prospect and Draper on behalf of the La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club, and every year GDC Construction decorates the tree for the Christmas season. So I care deeply about historical preservation in this great community. Over the last few years, it has been hard to miss the struggle over the preservation of La Jolla’s beach cottages, which has played out in the local press. Most of these homes were built as seasonal vacation properties, which, over the years, became year-round residences. Once people
took up full-time residence in the cottages, many had to be significantly renovated from their original condition. These renovations lead the San Diego Historical Resources Board, which decides which local buildings receive historical designation, to classify a cottage as being historic significant or not. If a building is 45 years old or older, it must be cleared for demolition or significant renovation by this board. Therefore, some homeowners in La Jolla face the unique responsibility of preserving the architectural history of their community. It is essential to historic preservation for the owners of older local homes to find ways to blend the old with the new. If you own an historic property of a certain size, you may be able to open it up to the public for viewing or even for private events, which benefits both the community and you. Also, you can apply for the Mills Act to receive a reduction on your property taxes for preserving your historic property.
One way we can preserve our exceptional community is to develop new projects or remodels while tipping our hat to those older styles. Local architects and homeowners can maintain the charm of La Jolla by looking back to the Arts and Crafts Movement, by drawing inspiration from the Jewel’s post-Victorian beach cottages, and from studying the MidCentury modern styles. The trick is to give those styles a contemporary slant and to maintain comfort and convenience as well as aesthetics. Part of the charm of La Jolla has always been the blending of the different architectural styles. This lack of uniformity has added to the character of the community, it is one thing, along with our beautiful coastline, that makes La Jolla so special. Next month, I’ll discuss what goes into restoring and maintaining a historic property.

“
After deciding to replace my 2 ageing BMWs with more fuel efficient vehicles with lower cost of ownership, I purchased a new vehicle from Mossy Honda, and then went to Mossy Ford to check out their plug-in hybrids. My salesman was very knowledgeable...hands down the most knowledgeable salesperson I have ever dealt with.
Throughout the process, everyone we came into contact with was awesome. They worked hard to get the terms that we felt comfortable with and explained all of the contracts and other options that were available to us.

Local hotels, restaurants earn top AAA ratings BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Four San Diego County hotels and one restaurant earned the AAA’s coveted Five-Diamond Rating, the Automobile Club of Southern California announced recently. Making the list were the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, The Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla and the Fairmont Grand Del Mar.
The Five-Diamond restaurant is Addison at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. “The AAA Five-Diamond Rating is achieved through very personalized and dedicated work to provide guests with a high-tough luxury experience,’’ said Patricia Marenco, the Auto Club’s approved accommodations supervisor. “Guest service is a point of pride for these top hotels.’’ The Auto Club also
released its list of Four-Diamond Ratings for hotels and restaurants. To earn the rating, hotels must be “refined, stylish with upscale physical attributes, extensive amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail,’’ according to the Auto Club. Among the local establishments landing on the list were L’Auberge Del Mar and Mille Fleurs in Rancho Santa Fe.
Fairmont Grand Del Mar No. 1 luxury hotel, TripAdvisor reviewers say BY LORI WEISBERG San Diego’s Fairmont Grand Del Mar, which two years ago was sold to Fairmont Hotels, is regarded as the top luxury hotel in the country, thanks to users of the TripAdvisor website.
