SAN DIEGO MUSEUM MONTH
California Surf Museum The California Surf Museum’s 8th Annual Gala/Auction is on Saturday evening, November 21. The event takes place at the Springhill Suites by Marriott, which is located at 110 North Meyers Street, in downtown Oceanside. The event is from 4pm to 10pm. The purpose of the fundraiser is to “preserve surfing’s rich heritage,” said Jim Kempton, President of the Museum’s Board of Directors. Greg Noll, an American pioneer of big wave surfing and a prominent longboard shaper, is this year’s honoree. Noll is best known for being the first surfer to ride a wave breaking on the outside reef at the Banzai Pipeline in 1964. Along with Noll, there will be other famous celebrities from
the world of surfing in attendance. Other honorees include Big Wave World Tour inventor Gary Linden, and one of the best women surfers in the world, Sarah Gerhardt. Gerhardt is the first woman tow-in surfer, and the first woman to surf Mavericks. Tickets include delicious appetizers, dinner, dessert, no host bar, and two CSM guest passes. Tickets for this fundraising event are $125 per person. Corporate sponsorship packages are available. The Gala coincides with a major exhibition titled Going Big: A History of Riding Giant Waves Around the World. The exhibit includes portraits of world famous big wave spots, stunning photography, and tales of the legendary
big wave riders who over the last 75 years have pioneered one of the most epic challenges in sports history. The exhibit features surfboards that were ridden, showing the progression of equipment as well as the savvy and technique necessary to push the limits of what was thought impossible. Photographs from some of the barrier-breaking rides and biggest waves ever ridden are on display.
evoking history, war, and conquest. Charles Moxon is the resident artist from November 14 to December 5, and his work will remain on exhibit until January 2. With lightening and fluid brush strokes, Moxon’s portraits are reminiscent of the 17th century Dutch Masters. Often using actors and models as his subjects, Moxon has found a way to explore the theme of performance both on the stage and in everyday life. Sophia Narrett is the resident artist from January 16 to February 13. Her work will remain on display through
March 12. Narrett’s embroidered paintings provide a setting for what she calls “honest fantasy.” Her work envelopes her own experiences as well as societal fantasies about desire, identity, and gender. The LUX Art Institute is located at 1550 S. El Camino Real, Encinitas 92024. Admission is Free. Call (760) 4366611 or visit www.luxartinstitute.org.

San Dieguito Heritage Museum Learn what our hills looked like before they were covered with homes. The San Dieguito Heritage Museum, founded in 1988, collects, preserves and interprets the local history of the San Dieguito area, including the communities of Encinitas, Olivenhain, Leucadia, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar, and Rancho Santa Fe. The timespan covered by the museum’s collections begins 10,000 years ago, with artifacts from local Native American tribes such as the Diegueño, Luiseño, Kumeyaay, and their prehistoric ancestors. Artifacts trace the development of our area from a small set of railroad towns through the prosperous beach lifestyle of the
present day. The museum’s collection reflects the farming that dominated the region from the late 1800s to World War II, with numerous agricultural implements, photos, and household items on display. Transportation is also well represented by a stagecoach, mail dray, fire engine, and Model T touring car. Local history is kept alive through the popular free weekend ‘Families Make History’ crafts program. Each art project focuses on an aspect of local history and is geared towards families with elementary school age and younger children. A bit of history is learned while making a creative object to take home. This program runs from 12 to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays, with a new project scheduled each month.
The museum grounds include the main museum building, which contains the core collections and rotating quarterly exhibits. The Olivenhain Teten House, built in 1885, has been recently renovated and contains many of its original furnishings. The Teten House is open on Saturdays only.

Poway OnStage Presents Bram Stoker’s Dracula October 25, Sunday, 7pm From LA TheatreWorks, the company that brought you The Graduate, comes an all-new adaptation of a terror classic presented in a unique format, as an old time radio play. This stage production of Dracula includes significant sound effects to achieve the feel of a radio play. Just in time for Halloween, this is a production not to miss. In Charles Morey’s acclaimed adaptation, Count Dracula slips quietly into Victorian London with a cargo of his native Transylvanian soil, necessary for resting between
claiming his victims. The city seems helpless against his frightful power, and only one man, the resourceful Dr. Van Helsing, can stop the carnage. But to do this, he must uncover the vampire’s lair and pierce Dracula’s heart with a wooden stake—setting up an epic battle between good and evil. Over the years, the story of Dracula has been shared and passed down from one generation to the next, while never losing its place as one of the greatest horror stories ever told. Poway OnStage is located at 15498 Espola Road, Poway, CA 92064. For more information on LA TheaterWorks presentation of Dracula visit www.powayonstage.org.
The Old Globe Theatre In Your Arms Through October 25 This ravishing evening glides, leaps, and twirls through the giddy extremes of romantic love. A truly unique event, it ranges across eras and cultures and tells its stories through the universal language of dance, employing classical ballet, swing, tap, ballroom, jazz, flamenco and more. Full Gallop Through October 25 Before Anna Wintour or The Devil Wears Prada, there was Diana Vreeland, the larger-than-life doyenne of American taste. Unceremoniously fired as editor of Vogue, she hunkers down in her famous all-red New York apartment and plans her comeback: a magazine of her own. The path to get there is as complicated and outré as Vreeland herself. Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! November 7-December 26 Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is back for its 18th year. This wonderful, whimsical musical based upon the classic Dr. Seuss book, celebrates the holidays as the Old Globe Theatre is once again transformed into the snow-covered Whoville, right down to the last can of Who-hash.
Globe for All: Much Ado about Nothing November 10-22 Soldiers return victorious from battle, their sights now set on the peacetime pleasures of love and merrymaking. But for Shakespeare’s wittiest couple, Beatrice and Benedick, romance is a “merry war” all its own, and their clever barbs protect their wary hearts. As You Like It November 14-22 Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy, As You Like It, is a lighthearted look at the fickle and passionate nature of love. Rosalind, after being banished, meets lovesick Orlando. Will wit and merriment overcome jealousy and deception? How will true love ever find its way, lost in the delightful madness of the forest? The Old Globe’s Annual Christmas Tree Lighting November 15, Sunday, 6pm The 10th annual Old Globe Christmas Tree Lighting takes places on November 15. The tree is to be located in the center of the Globe’s Copley Plaza and will remain for the run of the Grinch.

Star Theatre Company Noises Off October 2-4 This comedic play uses the concept of a play within a play. It is set in English provincial theatre, where a second-rate theatrical troupe is preparing to perform the tour production “Nothing On.” Complicating matters are the personal problems and backstage relationships that have fostered jealousy and petty squabbling and intruded upon any professionalism this motley crew can muster. As the tour progresses, the eccentricities of the cast comes to the forefront and the performances on the road dissolve into chaos on and off stage. The Star Theatre Coast Kids Presents Guys and Dolls November 13-22 Set in the hustle and bustle of prohibition in New York City, Guys and Dolls soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces
you to a cast of vivid characters including: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight “mission doll,” out to reform the evildoers of Times Square; Sky Masterson, a high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she’s been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game. The Star Theatre Company Presents Annie, Jr. December 11-19 America’s most beloved musical Annie, Jr. is once again being presented at the Historic Star Theatre in downtown Oceanside, giving a whole new generation the chance to experience this classic musical about never giving up hope. The Star Theatre Oceanside is located at 402 N. Coast Hwy. Oceanside, CA 92054. For more information visit www.startheatreco.com.
North Coast Repertory Theatre The Fox on the Fairway Through October 4 A hilarious comedy by Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo), The Fox On The Fairway scores a hole-in-one with non-stop laughs. The lineup of players includes a beleaguered country club president, his cocky nemesis from a neighboring club, a newly minted, but thoroughly love-besotted golf pro, a sexy waitress, his sex-starved vice president, and his suspicious wife. Chapatti October 21-November 15 Two lonely animal lovers in Dublin cross paths, and an unexpected spark begins as they re-discover the importance of human companionship. This heartwarming second-chance comedy celebrates unforgettable characters who still believe in love. Directed by Tony Award-winning actress, Judith Ivey.

Dining, Sipping, and Drinking Wasabi Sushi Restaurant
Tucked away in a quiet strip mall in the Shadowridge neighborhood of Vista, across the street from Rancho Buena Vista High School, you’ll find Wasabi Sushi Restaurant. Now under new management, this unassuming Japanese restaurant is a very good choice. The small dining room with black tables and chairs and sushi bar is the perfect setting to enjoy freshly prepared fish of every flavor and variety. Open every day of the week from 11am to 9:30pm, they serve a Daily Lunch Special for $11.95 that includes 1 House Roll, 1 Specialty Roll, Miso Soup and a fresh garden salad. Happy Hour is nightly from 3-7pm, and Monday Night Football is available at the bar. Waitperson Betsy was very helpful and made suggestions about the menu, while Sushi Chef Ian was busily at work making his unique
and tasty creations. The menu had some very nice choices including appetizers, nigiri sushi, sushi rolls, specialty rolls, tempura, Udon noodles, a variety of bowls, salads, curry, and a bento box. I recommend the Vista Dreaming Roll which is jumbo shrimp, cucumber, tuna, salmon, avocado, albacore, crab, crunchies, and drizzled with eel sauce. The Rainbow Roll was also very good. The smoked salmon and maguro nigiri sushi were delicious and the fish was very fresh.

Pick up a fresh hot pumpkin bagel with pumpkin cream cheese, a dozen hot bagels for the office, or a Bruegger’s Breakfast Sandwich for the perfect way to start your day. Their classic breakfast sandwiches combine eggs with your choice of peppered bacon, ham, sausage or turkey sausage on a hot fresh bagel. Our all-time favorite is their classic smoked salmon and cream cheese, stacked high on a fresh onion bagel with sliced tomato, red onions, and capers. In addition to their famous bagels, breakfast sandwiches and bagel sandwiches, Bruegger’s offers a healthier “Under 500 Calorie” menu. If you are a calorie counter, try one of their Skinny Bagels. Guests can now order any of Bruegger’s 15-plus varieties “skinny,” due to Bruegger’s unique slicing process. Instead of changing the recipe of
its time-tested, New York-style bagel, Bruegger’s slices the bagels thinner using a process that removes approximately one-third of the bagel’s center but preserves its unique eggshell crust and delicious toppings. The result is a lower calorie bagel without sacrificing variety or taste. Another healthy choice is their Skinny Zesty Egg White Sandwich. This comes with an egg white patty on a skinny sesame bagel, with turkey sausage, Swiss cheese and sundried tomato spread. Bruegger’s operates 300 bakeries in North America with 7 bakeries in San Diego. Renowned for its award winning bagels, Bruegger’s offers a wide variety of freshly prepared breakfast and lunch options made with high quality ingredients served with its unique brand of hospitality. Visit www.brueggers.com.
This holiday season, relax and enjoy Pelly’s spacious outdoor patio just steps from Carlsbad State Beach. Sit under an umbrella on a sunny morning or afternoon. It’s the perfect place for a late breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and the best place for the freshest fish and for people watching. Located in the Poinsettia Village Shopping Center, between Starbucks and Subway, you’ll enjoy some of the tastiest char-grilled fish sandwiches, plates, or salads in San Diego. The food is simply amazing and their Fresh Fish Market is always stocked with your favorites, including great local catch. Try a healthier choice for your family’s Thanksgiving feast, or a seafood platter for your Sunday football gatherings. Pelly’s is one of the original fresh fish markets in Coastal North County. On any given day, depending on the season, Pelly’s Fish Market offers large fillets of fresh ahi, yellowtail, albacore, mahi-mahi, halibut, Atlantic salmon, swordfish, sea bass, and a wide assortment of local shellfish
including oysters, clams, mussels, and lobster when in season. Pelly’s has an excellent reputation with locals for serving delicious fresh fish lunches and dinners. We recommend their char-grilled mahi-mahi, char-grilled halibut, and grilled fish tacos. If you’re in the mood for a salad, try their fresh Ono salad, Pelly’s special salad, or their stone crab salad. They have the best chowders too! Try their famous Manhattan red or Boston white clam chowder. Pelly’s is not a fancy sit-down restaurant, but the quality of their freshly prepared seafood more than makes up for it; and their prices are very reasonable. Check the board for their Catch of the Day. Pelly’s very popular Seafood Platters will suit any size party or family get-together. Big sellers are their ceviche, stone crab, or bay shrimp salads. Pelly’s Fish Market is open 7-days a week. They are located in the Poinsettia Village Shopping Center at 7110 Avenida Encinas #101, Carlsbad CA 92011. Call (760) 431-8454 or visit www.pellysfish.com.

Scream Zone, Haunted Trail, and Haunted Hotel Will Scare You to Death Now until October 31 Win Free Tickets! Enter to win a free pair of tickets to either The Scream Zone at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, The Haunted Trail at Balboa Park, or the Haunted Hotel in the Gaslamp District, downtown San Diego. The Scream Zone is San Diego County’s largest haunted experience. This year, The Scream Zone has been distorted and “metamorpho-cided into murderous homicide” with brand new attractions such as Karnevil, The Haunted Hayride, and Paintball Apocalypse. The House of Horror has been recast, reconfigured, re-formed, embellished and embalmed. Haunting and chilling your inner core, this malicious mausoleum lodges beasts and brutes, freaks and fiends, conjuring the stuff of your worst nightmares. The Karnevil freak show stars Dr. Marvel S. Mayhem and his travelling troupe of bloodthirsty curiosities. Headlining these vexing oddities are the unsettling devious deviations and mutant aberrations. Climb aboard the Haunted Hayride and ride through the gateway to hellacious hallucina-
tions where Zombies await to delight and decay. The Walking Dead meander, wander and saunter beside you as you move down the cold, dark, dreaded path of the deceased and departed. More info and tickets at www. thescreamzone.com. The Haunted Trail and The Experiment is located in world famous Balboa Park. This creepy haunt is one mile long and San Diego’s only outdoor haunted attraction. It includes a separate maze called “The Experiment,” where you run the gauntlet past horror icons Freddy, Jason, Michael Meyers, The Ring Girl, The Exorcist Girl, and The Scream Character. Watch your back while creeping down New Orleans’ famous old Bourbon Street, as vampires lurk in the shadows. Squeeze through the crowd of creepy clowns on the Haunted Ghoul Bus; and as you experience the Alien Autopsy, just remember that no one can hear your scream in outer space. You are sure to be chased by chainsaw-wielding Voodoo Masters. More info and tickets at www.hauntedtrail.net. The Haunted Hotel has been named one of the top haunts in the country by Haunt World Magazine, and has been featured in Fangoria Magazine, and on The Travel Channel as a standout haunt. The doors
at the Haunted Hotel downtown San Diego are open through November 1. The Haunted Hotel is located in downtown San Diego at 424 Market Street (4th & Market) in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter. The Hotel is loaded with new demented, hair raising effects so real that victims run screaming for their life as they try to escape. It turns its lights off every Wednesday and attendees must find their way through with only a free glow necklace. More info and tickets at www. hauntedhotel.com. Win Free Tickets! We are giving away free pairs of tickets to your choice of one of these three scary attractions. Just visit www.NorthCountySun.com and fill in the simple entry form.

Home Sellers Advisory This advisory to home sellers is provided as a courtesy by David Boe, the owner and broker of Boe Real Estate . . . sharing 30-years of local broker experience selling over 1,000 homes. Advisory #1: Beware of the “High Price” listing presentation. These agents have one goal and that is to get a signed listing contract by presenting an unrealistic high list price . . . knowing that the seller will eventually have to lower the list price to sell their home. Two clever responses can help sellers mitigate this scenario. Advisory #2: Beware of the “Universal Phone Call” that goes something like this; “Hello, I have a buyer interested in buying your home, are you interested in selling?” Truth is very few of these solicitation calls have a specific buyer. If you answer yes to their question, then simply ask them to put their buyer’s name on a “single party” listing agreement, so your obligation to pay a reduced commission is only if that specific buyer buys your home. Buyer’s broker commission is normally 2.5 to 3 % . . . so why pay more? Advisory #3: Beware of the “Great Promise”. These agents convincingly tell you that they list and sell most of their own listings, with no other agent involved . . . and because of this, they will lower the total listing commission
from 5 or 6% to 3% when they sell your home themselves. The truth is, very few agents list and sell their own listings! This is easily verified by an MLS printout of SOLD listings that clearly shows the listing and selling offices involved in all the sales. Are they the same offices? . . . probably not. Advisory #4: Beware of a lower than normal commission posted in MLS to “buyer’s broker”. While commissions are negotiable, money motivates sales people and buyer’s agents typically expect a minimum of 2.5% for selling a median priced home . . . and they deserve it! If less than 2.5% is proposed by your listing agent, ask them for an MLS printout of the listings for your neighborhood that will clearly show the commissions paid to other buyer brokers . . . rarely will you see less than 2.5%. You want maximum agent motivation to sell your home by offering at least 2.5% to the buyer’s broker. David Boe offers 30-years of broker experience and personally handles all the negotiations and required paperwork. David Boe has saved his buyers and sellers thousands of dollars with reduced commissions to sellers and rebates to buyers. You can reach David Boe at his direct line at (760) 846-0486 or visit www.DavidBoe.com. CalBRE#00672393.

Save Hundreds or Thousands of Dollars By Having Dental Work Done In Tijuana By Andy Lee I have a very good dental plan, but it doesn’t cover gums, molar crowns, some root canals, bridges, etc. I recently cracked the porcelain of a 15-year old crown and it wasn’t covered under my dental insurance. I called a few San Diego dental offices and was quoted between $1,100–$1,500 for a porcelain over metal crown. I went online to look at dentist reviews, and found a dentist in Tijuana, Shirley Baker, D.D.S.. She was advertising permanent porcelain crowns for $320. I called her office and asked many questions. Her English-speaking receptionist convinced me that I should give it a try, and I’m glad I did! The next morning I drove to the border and parked my car on the U.S. side and walked across. It’s a bit of a walk and you should bring a friend. The dental office had a yellow taxi waiting for me (no charge!) The driver, Manny, spoke perfect English and in 5 minutes we arrived at the office. There was a coffee shop on the first floor lobby. I bought a latte. The elevator woman opened the elevator door and used her card and pushed the 3rd floor button for me. I opened the door and the office looked just as nice as any dental office in the U.S. and better than most. I filled out a detailed dental history form. There was a woman sitting next to me and told me her husband was getting a root canal and that they have been coming here for six years. They too live in San Diego. I was soon called in. Dr. Baker and everyone there spoke perfect English and were very professional. After an X-ray the doctor and hygienist went to work. They gave me an iPod to listen to music. After removing the cracked crown she took another X-ray because she found a large cavity below the gum line under the old crown. She proceeded to remove the decay, filled the cavity, took an impression for a new crown, and gave me a temporary crown. I returned in 10 days for the permanent crown, and it looks more natural than my other two crowns. Total cost was $320 plus $50 for the filling. I saved over $1,000 and had one of the best dental experiences ever. Manny drove me back to the border (no charge, but I gave him a $10 tip). I saved over $1,000 and the experience was great. Here is Dr. Shirley Baker’s number (619) 270-2165. Please let them know you read about this in the North County Sun. Keep smiling!

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Annual Light The Night Walk November 6, Friday, 4:30pm–8pm The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer, hosts its 16th Annual Light The Night Walk on Friday, November 6, at Petco Park. LLS aims to stomp out blood cancer through the Light The Night (LTN) Walk. As there is no means of preventing or early screening for blood cancer, LTN is helping LLS to literally shine a light on the need to raise funds for treatments and cures. The LTN Walk is a powerful and unique fundraising campaign of LLS, which brings together families and communities to honor blood cancer survivors and those lost to the disease. Walkers join together at twilight holding illuminated lanterns—white for survivors, red for supporters, and gold to remember those lost to cancer. In addition to the Walk, the
evening’s festivities include music, food and family activities. Despite advances in survival rates, about half of blood cancer patients do not survive; so more funding is needed to advance research and ensure access to treatments. You can help LLS achieve its goal of a world without blood cancers by joining LTN. Through LTN, anyone—big, small, young, or old—can have maximum impact on the LLS mission to find cures and to improve the quality of life for blood cancer patients and their families. The Light The Night Walk is a free event. Petco Park is located at 100 Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92101. For more information call (858) 277-1800 or visit www. lightthenight.org/sd.

Chiropractor Dr. Jamie Kaszer Makes Sure You’ll Get Back Into Balance By Andy Lee On a recent appointment at Dr. Jamie C. Kaszer’s office in Encinitas I was able to experience Dr. Kaszer’s chiropractic approach. Dr. Kaszer has a global view of the body and does extensive research, testing, and computations for each of his patients needs. Like myself, most of us have some kind of chiropractic issue; maybe some annoying pain, a recurring headache, or maybe a past operation and physical therapy for rehabilitation. Surgeons and physical therapists work to fix a localized area such as a knee replacement for example. So, the knee gets repaired, then the physical therapist stretches and strengthens the area until the patient is back walking on his feet again. But Dr. Kaszer’s approach is more global, and asks, what about the thing that may have caused the injury in the first place, or what about afterwards? Will the patient continue to put unwanted pressure on the repaired knee? Maybe one leg is longer than the other, or maybe the patient is overweight, or maybe doesn’t have good posture, or maybe just favors one leg more than the other? This is Kaszers global approach. It’s an approach to stresses putting the patient’s body and possibly lifestyle “Back into Balance.” After a thorough investigative Q and A with the doctor, Dr. Kaszer takes photos, video, and X-rays, and then computes and analyzes his very rigid and mathematical measurements. After a very technical and complex process, Dr. Kaszer treats the patient with a painless chiropractic adjustment that ultimately puts the patient Back Into Balance. It’s quite amazing! To learn more, or to make an appointment, call (858) 847-3333. The office is located at 555 N. Vulcan Ave, Encinitas 92024. You can also visit www.whatisnucca.com.

If you have never walked or run along the Pacific Coast in Encinitas in late November, you are in for the surprise of your life. Early morning offers a beautiful color to the Pacific Ocean; the waves have a special look during this time of year. Start your Thanksgiving morning with friends and family at the Encinitas Turkey Trot, 5K/10K. The course starts under the famous green “Encinitas” sign arched over Pacific Coast Highway. The scenic loop then passes by the famous “Cardiff Kook” surf statue, rises above some of the most popular surf breaks in the world,
and heads down to Cardiff State Beach, then ends up back at the Encinitas sign. In addition to the Turkey Trot, there is also a costume contest for which participants can best display the spirit of the Trot. The top three winners are announced at the costume award ceremony immediately following the 10K race. Please note that although normal running attire does represent the Turkey Trot as a race, it is not considered a costume. Check-in is at 6am, the 10K starts at 7:30am, and the 5K Fun Run/Walk and Costume Contest are at 8am. The event supports North County’s Food Bank, a non-profit assisting needy families throughout our local communities. For more information visit www.encinitasturkeytrot.org.
