Oceanside Theatre Presents: Light Falling Down October 25 – November 3 Oceanside Theatre Company, operating The Brooks Theatre and Studio 219, presents a world premiere of Light Falling Down, written by Aimee Greenberg, live on stage at the Brooks Theatre from October 25 to November 3.

The live stage world premiere, directed by Christopher Williams, is set against the backdrop of WWII in Poland in 1942 and present day California. Greenberg’s play is a haunting and illuminating drama that is inspired by the true stories of female survivors of the Shoah living in Southern California.

This episodic story follows a young woman, Alice, after finding a young Jewish girl hiding in her garden underground. Alice is faced with the decision to either turn her in to the Nazis or to keep her hidden in the dark. But

Alice has a secret, too. Intertwined with Alice and Ruth’s predicament, is the story of Tuvia, her daughter Ava, and her neighbor Eva. In modern day California, strange coincidences lead to mistrust and the pursuit of buried truths.

This novel and moving piece of theatre explores the nature of survival, human spirit, and forgiveness.

The writer Aimee Greenberg has been creating, directing, and performing in original performances and plays for nearly three decades. A native New Yorker, Aimee trained with theatre icons Sandy Meisner, Wynn Handman and Stella Adler.

The Brooks Theatre is located at 217 North Coast Hwy in Oceanside.

Tickets are on sale at www.oceansidetheatre.org.

Admission is $21 general, $17 seniors, $14 students and military, or $14 on “Preview” night only.

Poway Center for the Performing Arts Roger McGuinn and Marty Stuart with the Fabulous Superlatives October 11, Friday, 8pm What do you get when you mix the Byrds’ signature 12-String “chime,” one of country music’s most celebrated pickers, toss in some of country-rock’s most beloved anthems and back it up with a road-seasoned band? A dream concert for fans of the SoCal Country Rock sound, and an evening of music history! Byrds founder and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Roger McGuinn takes the stage with five-time Grammy Awarsd winner Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives to perform Byrd’s classics such as “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “You Ain’t Going Nowhere” and “Turn, Turn, Turn.” A concert borne out of Stuart’s weekly TV show, “The Marty Stuart Show,” this concert brings a bit of the Grand Ol’ Opry and the ‘60s Sunset Strip to Poway. Tickets are $63 or $53.

Barbara Eden and Hal Linden in A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters October 26, Saturday, 8pm Television stars Barbara Eden (“I Dream of Genie”) and Hal Linden (“Barney Miller”) star in a modern American Classic: Boy meets girl. Girl writes to boy. Girl and boy correspond throughout their lives. Love Letters, A.R. Gurney’s beloved play about two people who grow up and are in love with each other’s writing, is as much a celebration of the power of the written word as it is to love itself. Andy and Melissa first “meet” when Melissa writes to invite Andy to her birthday party. Their correspondence continues, growing longer and more familiar as they seek friendship in their respective boarding schools. They sympathize (and amiably bicker) throughout marriages, children, divorces,

love affairs and careers that take them down different paths.

Poetic, elegant, and profoundly touching, Love Letters shows that, despite how things seem, what divides us is rarely as powerful as what connects us, and love comes when you least expect it. Tickets are $13-$58.

Berkley Hart and Back to the Garden presents The Last Waltz November 16, Saturday, 8pm In 1978, Martin Scorsese released The Last Waltz, a film that would set a new standard for rock music documentaries. The film chronicled the last performance by The Band (“The Weight,” “Up on Cripple Creek”) and featured an all-star line-up of guest musicians including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, the Staples Singers and more.

Now Berkley Hart (O Berkley Where Hart Thou?) and Back to the Garden return to the Poway Center to recreate the legendary concert live on stage, aided by some of San Diego’s finest folk, rock and blues musicians. Tickets are $13-$42.

Poway Center for the Performing Arts is located at 15498 Espola Road, Poway, CA 92064. For more information or for tickets, calle the Ticket Office at (858) 748-0505 or visit www.powayarts.org.

La Costa Film Festival Debuts at La Costa Resort and Spa October 24–27 The 1st Annual La Costa Film Festival was the dream of founders Michael and Ruby Callihan and members of the La Costa Resort and Spa. Together they soon discovered kindred spirits in Jenifer and Jack Chrysler, who have a long history of theatre and film production.

In years past, all you had to do was gaze at the glamorous pictures of Hollywood celebrities that adorned the walls of La Costa Resort and Spa. Today, those pictures are gone, and the Resort has transformed into a stylish modern marvel. Yet the lure and romance of those Hollywood icons still beckons. We can’t bring back the past, but we can draw on the magic and mystique that’s still present, and begin a new legacy.

The La Costa Film Festival will surely enhance our appreciation of the arts in North County, and more specifically, La Costa, where Hollywood stars once traveled to, and enjoyed as a place to, get away from it all. The only difference is, this time, everyone is invited to the party.

For more information and film dates and times, visit www.lacostafilmfestival.org.

San Diego Musical Theatre Presents Ain’t Misbehavin’— The Fats Waller Musical Show October 1-13 San Diego Musical Theatre presents Ain’t Misbehavin’– The Fats Waller Musical Show at the Birch North Park Theatre through October 13. The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930’s Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway’s best.

The inimitable Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky

tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, rent parties, stride piano players and that jumpin’ new beat, Swing. Although not quite a biography, Ain’t Misbehavin’ evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the songs he made famous in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Assembled under the expert eye

of director/lyricist Richard Maltby, Jr., Ain’t Misbehavin’ is one of the most popular, well-crafted revues of all time.

MCAS Miramar Air Show—The Show Must Go On! October 4-5 Marine Corps Air Station Miramar is host once again to the MCAS Miramar Air Show. Due to military air show budget cuts and cancellations of shows throughout the country, it appears that the Miramar show will go on. Although all “military” air performances will be grounded, there will be a lot of really great air performances from non-military aircraft and the ground show will be better than ever. This year, the Air Show takes place on October 4-5, at MCAS Miramar.

The Patriots Jet For­ma­tion Team will headline the aerial performances. The Patriots are an aerobatic Formation team that began flying in 2003. The team consists of former Navy Blue Angels, Airforce Thunderbirds and Canadian Snowbirds pilots that perform 6-ship manaeuvers in their L-39 jets. Other Air Show performances will be The T-39 Tribute, “Dusty” doing a Disney Plane performance, B-25J Executive Sweet, Sean Tucker’s Oracle Challenger, John Colliver’s Wardog, Bret Willat’s Sailplane Magic, Hanggliders, Hawker Beechcraft, Red Bull Helicopter, and radio controlled aircraft.

New this year will be Racelegal Drag Racing on the Flight Line. That’s right, you can bring your own car and race it down the Miramar Runway! Also, this year will have live rock bands including American Hitmen, Royal Bliss, and Sawyer Brown.

Complementing the aerial performances, drag racing, and live music, the flight line will have military equipment exhibits, including tanks and drones with plenty of aircraft, show memorabilia, and refreshments. You really won’t want to miss the famous Wall of Fire display or the fireworks show. During the air show everyone will have the opportunity to spend time with our military’s most important asset–our service members. Talking with these

brave young men and women will reveal their dedication and passion for protecting our nation and our way of life.

The air show has been a Miramar tradition for more than 50 years. The first large-scale Miramar Air Show was in 1953 which was then Naval Air Station Miramar, and 300,000 people attended. The event faced cancellations throughout the 1960s and 1970s due to the Vietnam War, but since 1974, it was held without interruption until it was cancelled in 2001 due to the September11 attacks.

To get there, take I-5 to the Miramar Rd. exit, and follow Miramar Rd. to the west gate of MCAS Miramar. To purchase special seating (grandstand, box seat, and chalet) call (619) 220-TIXS. For more information call (858) 5771000 or visit www.miramarairshow.com.

Spin That Record: Vinyl’s Big Comeback

MiraCosta College Music

By Anna Shuster

Hearts and Hands and Voices October 13, Sunday, 3pm This special performance brings together the MiraCosta Chamber Choir and Masterworks Chorale with special guests to present an evening of compelling music celebrating the rich history of choral singing from early music to contemporary choir compositions. Directed by Arlie Langager.

The 21st century loves the past.

Our nostalgic culture celebrates throwback fashions, polaroids, and going thrifting to find the perfect ‘60s sweater. The biggest comeback in this retroinspired age, though, provides an audiophile playground of possibilities: vinyl records. Unless you’ve been hiding out in a cultural bomb shelter, you can’t really deny the resurgence of vinyl records in the 2000s. Teens have started busting into their parents’ record collections and looking to build their own. Stores that cater to that age group (namely Urban Outfitters) have begun stocking their shelves with Crosley turntables and the latest releases on vinyl.

All the classic names are there on the shelves (including The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, and more), but even new artists have their names plastered on shiny new vinyl. The Black Keys, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, and even Deadmau5 have released albums on vinyl. If you haven’t seen this evidence for yourself, consider the numbers. Between 2005 and 2009, record sales saw a $42.5 million leap, according to digitaldreamdoor.com. And it’s still growing. Last year, LP sales increased 14.2 percent, which is pretty impressive for a medium people still think died in the 90s.

LP is short for “long playing” record. The term essentially means a full album on vinyl, as opposed to a twosong “single,” which is smaller in size. Some LPs are “33s,” meaning they are played at 33 rpms. Older records, known as “78s,” could only play about five minutes of music per side. Singles play at 45 rpms.

All of these records have two sides: the “A” side and the “B” side. Traditionally, the big hits from the album are all found on the “A” side. That’s why a lot of rarer, more

obscure songs by a given artist are usually referred to as “B-sides.” This is especially true for singles, since they only have two or three songs in total.

Both LPs and singles appear on record store shelves today—and not just at Urban Outfitters. Local record stores like Lou’s Records in Encinitas are more rare these days than in years past, what with the influx of digital music sources like iTunes and Spotify, but they’re still rocking along.

The little brown building that houses Lou’s vinyl appears right off Coast Highway 101. Shelves run down the length of the narrow building, with the cheap reject records at the end on the far left. New releases are right by the door and behind the counter on the right, and everything else is in alphabetical order along the various walls and shelves.

Lou’s has been slingin’ records since 1980. Record lovers rejoice ‘cause cozy local record stores like this are the lifeblood of the record culture, after all. They even have a day to celebrate them: Record Store Day. Each year, on the third Saturday of April, artists release exclusive records to celebrate stores like Lou’s, and people line up to snag purple, heart-shaped, or liquid-filled vinyl. The real reason for this day, as well as the whole feeling of being in a record store, is best summed up by a Bad Plus quote on the Record Store Day website: “it’s the place you go to get inspired, to find something off the beaten path.

They are a wonderful resource to discover new local talent or something you can’t find anywhere else. You believe in the place because it’s run by music lovers. You trust, take chances, and discover new things. You leave with an armful of records feeling like you’re part of a community that supports music. And you can’t wait to get home and listen.” Or, as Brent Smith of Shinedown once put it, “go indie or go home!”

Places I Remember: My Time With The Beatles– Never Before Seen Photos of the Public and Private Lives of the Fab Four

By Henry Grossman Published by Curvebender Publishing “Even though The Beatles had lots of photographs taken of them, occasionally one of the photographers would be out of the ordinary – Henry Grossman was one such photographer.” —Sir Paul McCartney Best known for his classic contributions to publications such as Time and LIFE, revered photographer Henry Grossman has captured everyone from Oscar-winning actresses Elizabeth Taylor, Meryl Streep and Barbara Streisand, seven Presidents including John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon to rock ‘n’ roll legends Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart and the Grateful Dead.

However, most are unaware of Grossman’s long relationship with the Beatles during the 1960s.

For over four decades, the vast majority of Grossman’s Beatles archive (which tops a staggering 6,000 photographs) has been tucked away, awaiting rediscovery. Now, over 1,000 of these images—most of which have never been published or even seen—are being made available in Places I Remember: My Time With the Beatles, published in

a limited quantity of 1,200 numbered copies, the first 250 signed by the photographer Henry Grossman.

The collection is unprecedented in its scope and intimacy.

At 528 pages and featuring over 1,000 black and white and color images, Places I Remember, is a landmark in the world of Beatles photography. The images are presented chronologically, and the accompanying text

by Grossman clarifies and explains events along the way.

The result is an engaging first-hand account of a journey into the Beatles’ world at the height of their fame.

Places I Remember can be purchased directly through the publisher’s website, at www.Curvebender.com. The book is limited to 1,200 numbered copies. Books 1-250 are signed by Henry Grossman.

Casa de Bandini is an esthetic delight, decorated down to the tiniest detail with hand-crafted furnishings, fine Mexican folk art and colorfully hand-painted murals. Intricately designed lanterns and stars of tin, brass and glass illuminate the Cantina, where guests enjoy their famous Bird Bath Margaritas in tasty flavors like mango, peach, strawberry, raspberry and lemon lime.

Diners are charmed nightly by strolling mariachis playing popular Mexican ballads.

Bandini chefs use only the freshest ingredients for their ambitious menu, which includes more than fourteen salsas and sauces made fresh daily,

delicious selections of homemade salad dressings, and hot corn and flour tortillas prepared throughout the day between the Cantina and dining room.

Off The Hook

Off the Hook is open everyday and is a really great place to impress family, friends and guests over the holidays! Now serving beer and wine with beer and wine pairings, this family owned and operated seafood grill, located in Encinitas, is the talk of the town. Their motto, “Reel Fish.

Done Right. Done Fast” pretty much says it all.

Try their huge 1½ pound live Maine Lobster dinners for an unbelievable price of $26.95! These dinners come with cole slaw, corn on the cob, French fries and lemon butter. You will most likely pay over $40 for a dinner like this anywhere else! They also offer Maryland Crab Cakes dinner for $17.95, and Sweet Snow Crab 1-pound Crab Leg dinners for $18.95.

This is how Off the Hooks works: First you select your favorite fish; then you choose your favorite flavoring; and then you tell them how you want it–either 1) as a sandwich; 2) as a salad; 3) in a bowl; or 4) on a

plate. Off the Hook fresh fish selections include favorites such as ahi, halibut, swordfish, mahi mahi, ono, salmon, trout, snapper, shark, etc.

Flavor selections include lemon butter, garlic butter, Cajun, blackened, lemon olive oil, garlic olive oil, or teriyaki.

Solterra Winery & Kitchen

tations to all their events. Dining guests get 10% OFF any bottle of wine purchase or 15% OFF 6 bottles or more.

The Van Alyea family, a young married couple with a baby and a sweet Golden Retriever, have opened the first ever full-service winery, tasting bar and kitchen in Encinitas located on Highway 101 in Leucadia. Master Wine Maker, Chris Alyea, says, “We have 60 tons of grapes coming in within the next 6 weeks.” This amounts to 150 barrels, which equates to 300 bottles per barrel. And, this is just another day in the life of the Alyea family and Solterra winery. They are truly answering the dreams of North County residents and visitors who love fine wine and the SoCal beach lifestyle. Solterra is beyond a shadow of a doubt, a destination winery on the map of Encinitas and San Diego County.

Their 5,000 sq.ft. facility features stunning architecture with high ceilings and large open windows gazing out onto Hwy 101. The winery is a wood barrel room with fermentation tanks, crusher and press. Adjacent to the winery is a full kitchen, bar and dining room. Perhaps the most interesting piece is the long concrete outdoor fire pit bar that seats up to

20, located just inches from the sidewalk and passers by. We’ve all seen large open windows, gas lit heating lamps and outdoor tables in front of bars and restaurants along historic Hwy 101, but Solterra has outdone them all with their long outdoor fire pit beach bar!

The buzz on the street is loud and clear by sommelier, wine lovers, experts, and guests that their wine is absolutely wonderful; and we couldn’t agree more. We highly recommend the Beacons Blend, named after our famous local surf spot. Owner and master winemaker Christopher Van Alyea is pouring more than twenty in-house wine varietals made from premium grapes he’s collected throughout California and Mexico. The Van Alyea Ranch is their vineyard in Sonoma County.

Solterra is open for lunch and dinner, from 11:30 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Monday to Thursday and until Midnight Friday and Saturday nights. You can also enjoy an ice cold local beer and play bocce ball in the back.

Solterra is located at 934 North Coast Hwy 101, Leucadia 92024.

Open Tue–Sun; closed Mon. (760) 230-2970 www.solterrawinery.com.

Gregorio’s Restaurant

The story behind Gregorio’s Restaurant is so unique and so uplifting, it’s difficult to put into words. The City of Carlsbad will hopefully some day erect a statue of Gregorio’s owner, Greg Nelson, for all he’s done for families and children of Carlsbad. As a young boy, Greg grew up and spent his days going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carlsbad. That experience had such a profound effect on him and who he is today, Greg Nelson, for three years, from 2010 to 2012, donated 100% of his profits from Gregorio’s Restaurant to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carlsbad. And for that reason, and also that this is the season to be thankful for all we have, and that Gregorio’s cuisine and service are top-notch and the prices so reasonable, please go to Gregorio’s Italian Restaurant, upstairs in the Carlsbad Village Faire shopping center.

Most of us thinks of Italian cuisine as heavy, but Gregorio’s has a wide variety of light and healthy options, and is a great place to pop in and out for a quick lunch from 11am to 3pm! They are open daily

for lunch and dinner and will treat you as if it’s your home away from home. They offer seafood, Sicilian chicken, an amazing eggplant parmesan, pasta, pizza, steaks, sandwiches, great salad selections, burgers, and divine desserts, including homemade cannoli.

They have recently remodeled their full-bar and offer Happy Hour Monday–Friday with $5 appetizers and daily drink specials. Martini Mondays is great with $2 off martinis. They have Two for Tuesday specials; and on Wednesday, wine is 1/2 off all bottles, all night; Thursdays get $2 off all bottled beer; and Friday is TGIF with $2 off–you call it! Gregorio’s is open 11–9pm weekdays, 11–10pm Fridays and Saturdays, and Happy Hour is 3–6pm Monday through Friday.

Gregorio’s is located “upstairs” at the Village Faire in Carlsbad Village at 300 Carlsbad Village Drive, Suite 208, Carlsbad 92008. Call (760) 720-1132 or visit www.gregoriosrestaurant.com.

Urban Pi

Urban Pi is a unique, fast, casual pizza concept driven to serve only the highest quality, good-for-your-body food possible. The concept centers on using fresh, locally sourced ingredients for the entire menu. The Urban Pi is a “creative” pizza that starts with the best ingredients including organic flour, organic tomato sauce and an organic cheese blend (mozzarella & provolone).

Pi encourages you to be as unique as the concept, by creating your own unique pizzas. You will be able to order their pizzas directly from a pizza maker, who will then pass the pizza to a server, who will then top the pizza with any toppings desired, right before your eyes! The pizza will then be baked in a hearth oven and will be ready in about 5 minutes.

In addition to the custom pizza, Urban Pi serves specialty pizzas, spe-

cialty plates, pastas, custom made salads, a limited offering of sandwiches, desserts, “creative” sweetie pis and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The menu and service system are designed to feed one person or an entire group. You can enjoy the experience for lunch, dinner, or late evening at home or in the comfort of their beautiful restaurant. If you dine in, they have a back patio area for your enjoyment.

Urban Pi is located at 2673 Via De La Valle, Del Mar, 92130. (Across from the Flower Hill Mall). It is open Monday through Thursday from from 11 am until 9:30 pm. Friday and Saturday from 11 am until 10 pm and on Sunday from 11 am until 9 pm. For more information, visit www.urbanpi.com or www.facebook.com/UrbanPi.DelMar.

Yummy Cupcakes

Yummy Cupcakes, the very first cupcake-only bakery, began in Burbank, California in 2004. The idea of buying a regular-size cake for a party with only a couple of flavors seemed limited. Why not offer the option of many small cakes in a multitude of flavors so everyone can be satisfied? The idea of opening a cupcake-only bakery was a risk, but the first day they opened their doors, the line was out the door and down the street! It was an instant success!

Yummy Cupcakes has just opened its first bakeshop outside the Los Angeles locations in the U.S. in Encinitas and word is already spreading fast—like frosting on a warm cupcake—just how delicious Yummy Cupcakes’ cupcakes really are!

Margaret and Roger Grueczny Cut From the Same Fabric and Sewn Together Celebrate 33 years of Marriage and 34 Years Operating La Costa Upholstery

By Andy lee La Costa Upholstery was one of the first advertisers (ten years ago) in the North County Sun, at that time called the La Costa Canyon Neighborhood Newsletter and later the La Costa Breeze. Every time I have walked into La Costa Upholstery over the years, either Margaret or Roger or both have greeted me with a smile and something nice to say. In all these years, and although they are always busy, either on the phone, the computer, in the back manufacturing and upholstery plant, or with a customer on their showroom floor, I have yet to see them argue with each other. When I mentioned this to Margaret, she said, “Well, moments do come up, and when they do, Roger usually says something funny to make me laugh, and I do.” It’s easy to see that these two were made for each other, like a matching sofa and comfortable chair, and I’m sure that’s why they always have a smile on their faces, and thousands of happy repeat customers.

If your sofa cushion or stuffed chair is starting to look a little shabby, how about giving it a new look? La Costa Upholstery is the best around and Roger or Margaret are always there to help you. You’ll get friendly, expert and personalized service every time. La Costa Upholstery is currently having their annual Fall Savings Sale. You can save 30% Off all fabrics!

There is truly nothing else like LUX and is the only organization in the region with a live-in residency program. Each artist lives on-site as he creates a new artistic piece, and interacts with visitors as his creation unfolds. In addition to liaison-led tours providing intimate access to the artist-in-residence, the institute’s exhibitions, and it’s permanent collections of

outdoor sculptures, LUX also offers a wide range of artist inspired camps, classes, and events for all ages.

LUX Art Institute’s innovative experiences will expand once their new Education Pavilion opens later this year. LUX has partnered with Anne Sneed Architectural Interiors to re-envision the existing 7,000 square foot floor plan and exterior facade into a more modern, spacious, and functioning art education center with two large youth classrooms, a lecture space, an artist’s workshop, an adult art lab, a gallery for kids’ art, and a digital lounge. A series of rolling garage doors along the back of the building will open up to a backyard furnished with native gardens, shaded picnic areas and a small amphitheater designed by award-winning landscape architect Glen Schmidt.

“It’s a really exciting time for us as we get ready for the Education Pavilion,” says LUX director Reesey Shaw. “We’ve

known for a while now how much more space we’ve needed, and for years we’ve heard the requests from members and supporters for more room, more programs, and more parking. So it’s thrilling to know that soon enough, we’ll no longer have to limit class size, turn kids away, tamp down events, redirect adults interested in art education, or have interns and staff crammed into tight quarters. We look forward to being the sort of center for creativity, education, and community that San Diego needs.”

LUX Art Institute is located at 1550 South El Camino Real in Encinitas. Hours are Thursday and Friday, 1-5pm; Saturday 11am-5pm; and cost is $5 for two visits, or free for members and all under 21.

San Diego 17th Annual Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure November 15-17 Once again, it begins at the Opening Ceremony at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Three days and 60 miles later, it ends in Petco Park on Sunday afternoon. Gearing up for this annual and historical event, participants commit to raising at least $2,300 each and spend several months training to prepare for it. They devote their entire three day weekend to the cause. Each year, there are thousands of walkers in San Diego whose combined efforts raise tens of millions of dollars for the fight against breast cancer.

About $240,000 stays in San Diego County to help fund local programs.

The Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

is a 60-mile walk for women and men who want to make a personal difference. Since its inception in 2003, the Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure has raised well over $500 million.

Proceeds help pay for global breast cancer research and local community programs supporting education, screening, and treatment. It has helped pay for millions of breast screenings, and has funded research, advocacy, and community programs. Virtually every major advance in the fight against breast cancer in the last 30 years has been impacted by a Susan G. Komen grant.

Participants walk 15-22 miles a day during the event.

They are provided meals, snacks, drinks, shower facilities, tents, safety guidelines, and 24-hour medical support. A crew of volunteers spends the entire three days with the walkers and staff to make this event possible. There will be public cheering stations throughout the three days.

Cheering station locations will be announced online two weeks prior to the event, so come out and show your support!

Two Inspirational Local Men and Their Battle with Cancer Many people associate National Cancer Awareness Month with breast cancer. In fact, the month of October is about awareness of all types of cancer: skin, colon, breast, cervical, colon, lung, lymph, brain, and so on. There are over 200 types of cancer.

I know two Encinitas local heroes who are battling cancer, Giles Douglas and Loren Nancarrow. They do not know each other but both are bravely fighting for their lives and are truly amazing and inspirational individuals.

Giles Douglas Finlayson, En­cinitas surfer, paddler, sailor, adventurer, and friend to just about everyone, has been supporting cancer foundations with his Stand Up Paddle (SUP) events for the past four Giles Douglas Finlayson years. Ironically, last year he was diagnosed with Stage-four Squamous Cell Carcinoma that began on the top of his head and spread down his neck and is now fighting for his own life. The City of Hope removed the operative lymph nodes and San Diego Cancer Research Institute followed up with 30 days of radiation and several rounds of Chemotherapy.

According to Giles, “Between the two of them, they have, so far, saved my life.” What is amazing is that although his cancer has taken a huge toll on the quality of his life, he is still producing the “Island-to-Island Waterman Charity Relay” that takes place on October 12. The SUP race begins at Santa Barbara Island and ends at Catalina Island. He is asking people who participate to please send donations directly to City of Hope and the San Diego Cancer Research Institute. You can sign up, or get more details at www.islandtoislandwatermanrelay.com. There’s also an article about the event in the sports section of this publication.

Loren Nancarrow is a beloved local TV anchorman, journalist, and environmentalist, who was diagnosed with Stage-three Brain Cancer in February 2013. He has recently been travelling, reporting and blogging

on the road with his dear wife, Susie, in their new RV. I met Loren at Starbucks about 20 years ago and often ran into him at various Starbucks locations. He really likes his morning coffee, and always has something nice to say. Loren and family founded The Nancarrow Project and put together a Nancarrow Project Team to compete in a charity 5k run for the San Diego Brain Tumor Foundation that took place last month and raised over $11,000. Loren is always looking for a way to give back. You can follow Loren and read his incredible insights about family, his disease, his battle, and his inspirational thoughts at www.thenancarrowproject. com. You can also read his daughter Hannah’s blog at www.hannahjanemedia.com.

This is Loren’s blog of Sept 3, 2013, titled “Left in the Dust.”

“It’s been a rough few weeks. Our road trip to the Northwest was beautiful but I was limited in my ability to get around, so Susie had to do more than her share (and she did so gladly).

Part of learning about cancer is learning a whole new vocabulary. This week, our term is “radiation necrosis.” According to one of my doctors, that means the radiation did its’ job—just a bit too well. So well that it left a rim of scar tissue where the bulk of the tumor once was. This scar tissue is pressing down on my brain and has basically put my entire right side to sleep. Tomorrow we’ll find out if it stays or if it goes (whether or not I’ll have surgery to remove it).

This is all troublingly reminiscent of Susie’s mom, who had this very same cancer while Susie and I were dating. And with each surgery there was a little less of Phyllis left behind. That’s the conundrum of brain cancer; all the available options have high risks. In this case, doing nothing means a loss of function and quality of life, while acting radically (surgery) can either fix things or really mess me up.

So how will I make this decision? Well, I was the youngest of 4 kids and I hated being left in the dust.

I felt like I spent all my time just trying to keep up.

Cancer has made me feel that way again. So, the answer as to whether or not I’ll choose surgery is an easy one for me. Someone is offering me a way to keep up with the pack (my family) and I’ll grab it.

Thousands of wo-­ men and men come together, each raising money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Then they take their commitment to end breast cancer one step further and walk 60 miles over the course of three days. Seventy-five percent of the net proceeds raised by the 3-Day funds national research and large public health outreach programs. The remaining 25 percent funds local community and affiliate outreach programs. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all, and energize science to find the cures.

The Del Mar Fairgrounds is located at 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd. in Del Mar. For more information or to sponsor a walker visit www.the3day.org or call 1-877 GO KOMEN.

By Andy Lee When this all started I somehow pictured myself be­ ing healthy until the end — and then it would simply be over. That hasn’t been the case and that’s what I’m finding most difficult. So my hopes are that in the coming days I’ll have surgery and I’ll awaken stronger, more mobile and Loren Nancarrow ready to run with the pack. In the meantime, I’m receiving daily foot massages from Hannah, watching way too much Netflix and doing my best to remember that others have it far worse. Mostly, I’m just looking forward to getting back out there with a full head of steam (rather than scar tissue).

I hope some of this will inspire you to appreciate your bodies and put them to good use. Perhaps you’ll join The Nancarrow Project Team for the San Diego Brain Tumor Foundation’s 5k fun run/walk later this month.”

Please do whatever you can to support The Nancarrow Project and the San Diego Brain Tumor Foundation. The success of the San Diego Brain Tumor Foundation depends upon the generosity of people like you. The foundation is a non-profit, voluntary, grassroots organization dedicated to providing essential information and support for brain tumor patients and their families. Their website is www.sdbtf.org.

Note: Since this blog of Sept. 3, Loren had the surgery to remove the scar tissue, and so far, as of Sept. 25, it seems to have been successful and he was just released from the hospital.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to Giles and Loren and their families and everyone else out there who is battling cancer and life’s challenges. We wish you the physical and mental strength to win your battle and ultimately achieve a full recovery to enjoy this Thanksgiving season and many years to come.

Must-Have Style For Men

By Haim Knister From Brad Pitt’s shoulderlength hair to prohibition inspired looks, rules are gone when it comes to Men’s hairstyles this season. Men’s cuts make a statement whether they are au natural or short and styled. Barbering is staging a comeback as men are turning to classic coiffeurs for some much needed guy time.

Going back in time, men’s styles such as the Gothic looks of Victorian and Edwardian men, James Bond, the Roman style, the modern mountain man, James Dean and the Prohibition look have made a strong impact on mens styling. The styles are trendy, but still masculine.

Understanding the type of hair, length of hair and texture helps when choosing a style.

The Roman style that resurfaced with Gerald Butler in the movie 300 is perfect for someone looking for low mainte-

nance. The look features a short crop. The James Bond look is sophisticated and clean, but is has to be maintained. The look is best if the hair is straight and fine to medium. The modern mountain man combines a classic clean square cut with a full grown beard. The Wavy Comb-Back is a classic style with medium sides and long length on top and the slick-backed side part is best with short sides and long length on top. And to create the Hipster look featured on David Becham and Charlie Hunnam from Sons of Anarchy, men are going for this look since the style is edgy. Men with straight, medium or thick hair can let their hair grow, as seen on Brad Pitt; this look is becoming masculine again.

Achieving the trendiest styles take time. For men with short styles the look varies with cuts cropped on the sides and neckline and varying lengths on top or keeping the hair cut close to the scalp, or a spiky cut to create varying degrees of fullness. Once the hair grows longer, an asymmetrical cut is easy to do. However, growing the hair takes time and patience. Men have begun using finishing products to

define the texture of the hair, in order to give these vintage styles a more cutting edge with volume and movement.

Many men are coloring their hair to make a statement.

Once virtually unheard of, men are becoming more comfortable with using color. Either bright colors intended to add highlights, or a combination of 2-3 colors, gives the hair a great deal of depth. And finally, frequent visits to the hairstylist or barber every 3-4 weeks are important for the health of the hair, as well as keeping it nicely shaped.

Haim Knister is the owner of Haim Salon. His professional award-winning staff is dedicated to staying up to date with the latest styles and will be ready to help their client’s look and feel beautiful. Stop by and meet Jay Fata, Education Director at Haim Salon, and Artistic and Technical Director for Eufora’s Hero for Men. Jay specializes in men’s hair cutting and styling. Haim Salon locations include the Del Mar Plaza, the five-diamond Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad, and the triple five-star Grand Del Mar Resort.

Dry Air and Forced Air Heating Can Be Hard on Eyes So often we neglect taking care of our eyes and our vision. Sometimes we don’t pay enough attention if we have dry eyes, blurred vision, or easily get eye infections.

Don’t take your eyes for granted and take the time to make an appointment with someone that has an extensive background in ocular diseases and conditions. If you are looking for a caring and professional optometrist, then we recommend Dr. Kristin Peterson- Salgado of Solana Beach Family Optometry.

Dr. Kristin Peterson-Salgado graduated from the University of California, Davis in 1993 with high honors then went on and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley School of Optometry in 1997. For 13 years she has been practicing medically-based optometry with a focus on ocular disease, geriatrics, traditional and hard-to-fit contact lenses, diabetic exams, and Lasik or cataract surgery pre-operative exams.

Dr. Peterson-Salgado opened her private practice in Solana Beach in 2010 with a desire to continue her medically based practice while also incorporating vision exams for the entire family. Dr. Peterson-Salgado enjoys fitting all types of contact lenses, including bifocal, monovision, rigid gas permeable, and astigmatic lenses. She also has an extensive background in the treatment of dry eye conditions. She is board certified in the treatment and management of ocular disease and can prescribe medications for eye infections, allergies, and dry eyes.

Dr. Peterson-Salgado grew up in Del Mar and currently lives in Solana Beach with her husband (4th generation Solana Beach resident) and their 2 kids.

Stress Relief an Important Element of National Massage Therapy Awareness Week at Elements in La Costa October 20-26 October 20-26 is National Massage Therapy Awareness Week, and brings to light the benefits of massage. In today’s always on-the-go society, stress can be found in all aspects of our lives. Although some types of stress can be healthy for the mind and body, a 2012 study from the American Psychological Association (APA) revealed deepening concerns about the connection between chronic disease and stress. While massage can increase circulation, improve energy, and restore balance in the body, stress relief remains one of the most prevalent reasons people seek the natural form of therapy.

We cannot become immune to stress as it will always be a part of our daily lives, however, incorporating regu-

lar massage into one’s wellness routine can yield significant long-term health benefits. Hoping to support the health and wellness of area residents, local resident, Scott Wooden, recently opened the doors to Elements Therapeutic Massage of South Carlsbad.

“Massage is gaining popularity among physicians and their patients as people become more proactive about their own health,” said Scott. “And they are realizing that receiving a professional massage – with the right therapist – can truly help improve one’s quality of life. Our therapists are trained to provide a completely customized massage experience for each of our clients, using the right technique and right pressure depending on the client’s physical condition or health goals.”

Elements is making therapeutic massage increasingly affordable and available to time-starved consumers who recognize the value of massage in maintaining their overall health and wellness. Wooden added that “Elements Therapeutic Massage is founded on the healing benefits of massage, and we’re looking forward to making a positive impact on our clients’ lives.”

Elements of South Carlsbad, located at 3247 Camino de Los Coches, is open 7-days a week, welcomes walk-ins and offers a membership program that allows clients to receive regular, discounted massage therapy services throughout each month. For more information or to schedule an appointment visit www.elementsmassage.com/southcarlsbad or call (760) 585-9101.

The Scream Zone At Del Mar Fairgrounds New Zombie Paintball Safari Now Open It’s 2013 and your worst nightmare has come to fruition. Scream Zone, now in its 16th year, is more terrifying and bloodcurdling than ever!

New this year is the Zombie Paintball Safari. Climb aboard the carriage of no return.

Your blood will run cold as you are transported into the world of the undead…..will you survive an attack of Creepy Carnivorous Dilapidated Diversions? The Zombie Safari gives you the chance to open fire and shoot paintballs at live zombies. It’s not your run-of-the-mill paintball adventure. Here, the zombies are, shall we say, running rampant and unrestrained. It’s shooter against zombie and only you have the ammo.

If your heart still beats prepare yourself to be thrilled- to- the bone with three more “spooktacular” Halloween haunts featuring: The House of Horror, The Chamber and The Haunted Hayride. (Not recommended for children under 10years old.)

“High Anxiety” fills the air as you enter the malicious mausoleum known as The House of Horror, featuring 12 new terrifying devious dens, including 13 Ghosts, Zombie House, Monster Attack, Texas Graveyard and the Underworld. Movie monsters lurk around every dark corner to intercept and ambush your futile attempt to run… so don’t bother.

Climb aboard The Haunted Hayride where all of your “frightmares” come to life. NEW on the Hayride this year is the Zombie Prison, Zombie Town and Zombie Containment. The Hills Have Eyes (for you) and Haitian Voodoo. Horror movie master Lon Chaney said, “There’s nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight.” A sudden state of hysteria will grip your heart as Clowns suddenly appear to unnerve you, making your heart skip a beat…or two. And don’t let Doll Town fool you…the term “child’s play” will NOT come to mind as those pretty, peculiar oddities entice you to stay and play, and play and STAY. The Walking Dead will saunter aside your chilling chariot moving you along the cold, dark and dreaded path.

The Chamber will send chills up and down your spine as the menacing maze does its best to keep you in its clutches with a secure DEAD-bolt!

The 13th Annual Dos Equis XX Monster Bash on Saturday, October 26, will take over more of the Gaslamp Quarter than ever before when from 6pm to Midnight eight blocks will be filled with three stages, 10 bars, 50 toxic dancers, and thousands of partygoers dressed in every fetish and fantasy possible.

The sexiest and wildest San Diego Halloween bash is going to be bigger and better as it brings in the hottest

international DJs to rock the streets with electrifying mixes.

Party your brains out to the electronica and DJ mixes.

The streets of Downtown will be your ultimate fantasy of costumed insanity as the scariest demons, sexiest vampires and most lustful undead run through three sinful Mega-Clubs.

In true Monster Bash fashion, the best Halloween Party

in San Diego will end with a parade of the bizarre, peculiar, scantily clad, comedic and creative as the World Famous Costume Contest takes over the Trudy’s Trash House stage and offers up a Grand Prize of $5,000. From the moment you enter the Gates of Hell at Market and 6th Avenue, you will know you have entered a world of lust, depravity and madness as haunted souls run wild for one night where rules can be broken and immorality is welcomed. 21+ only call (619) 233-5008 or visit www.

TITLE Boxing Clubs’ New Fitness Workout Hits North County If North County residents can be characterized by one quality, it’s that we love to stay fit and healthy. As a Solana Beach local of 30 years, TITLE Boxing Club Carlsbad owner, Brad Schwartz, lives this firsthand.

With over 20 years as a physician, Brad experienced the joy of helping people become healthier and consistently saw the need for preventative health care, including exercise.

After taking his first boxing and kick-boxing fitness class at a TITLE Boxing Club, Brad was hooked on one of the most intense, full-body workouts he had ever experienced. Brad’s excitement was contagious and soon he was joined by locals Hannah Bassett, Development & Marketing; Anna Hodge, General Manager; and Karine Breed, Director of Trainers.

The TITLE Boxing Club Carlsbad team has partnered to introduce their fun and effective workout to Coastal North County residents.

TITLE Boxing Club is one of the fastest growing fit-

ness concepts in the nation. The key to the TITLE Boxing Club program is the POWER HOUR. The Power Hour is an hour-long fitness class with a personal training feel.

The experience is like no other, with energetic music and motivating instructors. No class is ever the same. Each 60-minute class uses the principles of boxing and kickboxing conditioning to provide a full-body, high-intensity workout without actual sparring. Classes are structured to use High-intensity Interval Training (HIT) to burn up to 1,000 calories and rapidly tone muscles. Each class has a 15-minute warm-up, then the gloves come on. Next comes eight 3-minute rounds on the bag, separated by 1 minute of active rest plyometrics. The last 15 minutes target the core, often incorporating medicine balls, and then cool down.

Founded in 2008, the first club found immediate success and a passionate following. Since that time over 100 franchises have opened their doors across the nation and continue to open at a pace of 10 clubs per month. As described by founder and retired professional boxer and announcer, Danny Campbell, “This workout is catching on, especially with women, because they get results. Every time you go into one of the clubs, you have a trainer that leads the class and motivates you. Every time you hit that 100-pound

bag you are burning body fat. When you walk out, all emotions are left on that bag except the unmatched sense of empowerment and confidence.”

The TITLE Boxing Club Carlsbad team will be opening their doors in mid-October and are excited to see new members’ eyes light up as they punch a heavy bag for the first time and work with them as they shed pounds and feel the most invigorating workout of their lives.

TITLE Boxing Club Carlsbad is located at 3247 Camino de Los Coches (in the Sprouts shopping center across from Stagecoach Park). For more information visit facebook. com/TBCCarlsbad and www.titleboxingclub.com.

Island-to-Island Waterman Charity Paddleboard Relay Santa Barbara Island to Catalina October 12, Saturday, 7am Start The Island-to-Island long-distance, open– ocean paddleboard race will take place on Saturday, October 12.

This is the only fourth race of its kind in Southern California. Giles Douglas, 62, resident of Encinitas, California, produced the first transchannel island paddleboard race in 2004, and is doing so again this year, only much bigger this time.

Douglas, a well-respected waterman, used to compete in every major paddleboard race in California, Hawaii, and Australia until a boating accident in Malaysia in December 2009 almost took his life. After months of multiple surgeries and being in a foreign hospital, he returned to Encinitas. He is now battling cancer. Thankful to be alive, Douglas is again putting on this event and is donating its proceeds to the City of Hope for cancer research, as he has done in past years.

There will be a fundraiser benefiting City of Hope and San Diego Cancer Research Institute at Hapifish at 190 Coast Hwy 101 in Encinitas on October 8, from 5:30 to 8:30pm. There will be raffles and sake and sushi specials.

Please come and join the fun! Call (760) 452-7245.

The Island-to-Island Waterman Relay will begin at the landing at Santa Barbara Island at 9:30am, October 12, and will end at the Isthmus of Catalina Island. The event will include four separate classes in teams of three: Stand Up paddle 14’; Traditional lay down paddleboards stock division and 18’ unlimited division; OC 1’s; and Surf Ski’s. The course travels due east and is approximately 28 nautical miles.

At 3pm the gate opens to the event and at 3:30 one of California’s best Polynesian shows will begin. An awards ceremony with a catered dinner, dancing and cocktails will begin around 7:30 pm. The event will conclude promptly at 10:30 pm.

There will be lodging, camping, and boating options available for all contestants and attendees. Anyone wishing to attend the event can ride over aboard the Catalina Express out of San Pedro. Call Catalina Express for daily departures.

Sign up online for either the Luau or the 3-person relay team competition and to confirm information about dates, times and details, please visit www.islandtoislandwatermanrelay.com or Island to Island Waterman Relay on Facebook.

The Headquarters Salon and Wig Store’s Pink Charity Foundation “Feel Great Look Great” Helps Chemo Patients Purchase Wigs The Headquarters is one of the best places in all of San Diego to get a wig or hairpiece, especially if you are a recovering chemo patient. Owner, hairstylist, and wig specialist, Cathy Ketchum, is an expert working with wigs and styling hair and especially working with chemo patients. It has been her life dream and goal to someday have a foundation to help patients that are having a difficult time financially and need help purchasing a wig. Cathy’s new charity foundation “Feel Great Look Great, Inc.” does just that. Chemo patients that need help with purchasing a wig can now ask and receive financial assistance. The Foundation’s board will consider every application and will soon let patients know its decision. As far as Cathy knows, this is the first foundation of its kind.

Cathy and her foundation are just starting up, so if you could, it would be great if you can make a tax-free donation to help chemo patients afford to look their best while going through the process. Some longer recovering chemo

patients need better quality “real hair” wigs because the wigs need to last longer for washing and maintaining, sometimes up to two years or longer.

Experience really does matter in this business. Cathy Ketchum began working with wigs in East Lansing Michigan in 1975. She opened her first Headquarters Salon in San Marcos on Rancho Santa Fe Drive in 1985, and just recently opened her new, beautiful 2,700 square-foot salon and wig store in San Marcos on North Twin Oaks Road near Hwy 78, across the street from the US Post Office.

The Wig Store has a private consultation room. They will find and fit you with the perfect wig. Because they are a full-service salon, they will also custom cut your wig to perfectly fit you, and to make it even more natural, they will also color it to match your hair color or give it a perm.

If you purchase a wig from them, they will cut it and customize it at no additional cost. Headquarters specializes in working with chemo patients. Cathy says, “My whole heart

National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) Services National Breast Cancer Foundation partners with medical facilities across the country to provide free mammograms and diagnostic breast care services to underserved women. They require that medical facilities within their network have the capacity to continue treatment after an abnormal finding or diagnosis of breast cancer.

While NBCF provides free breast care services through its National Mammography Program (NMP), sometimes those in need are unaware that the program exists. Through patient navigation programs at medical facilities within their network, NBCF promotes the NMP to those that need it most. Patient navigation is a proactive approach to helping patients overcome the barriers of cost, fear, and misinformation surrounding a disease and its prevention. By helping underserved women to navigate the health care system, navigators provide the vision that gives women hope. For more information visit www.nbcf.org
