Introducing the Lillian August CollectionExclusively at Le Dimora

Dear Readers,

With a busy spring season already underway, it is always a

privilege to be invited to various events around town; from fashion

shows to fundraisers, golf tournaments and wine tastings, there’s

always something to do. And while I most enjoy meeting you, our

readers, I also appreciate the opportunity to explore the various

parts of San Diego. So as we enter the warmer months of the year,

I implore you to seek out adventure in our own “backyard,” and

savor alfresco living in America’s FINEST City!

Over the next few months, expect to see new additions in our

editorial line-up. In expanding our editorial content offering and

direction, we hope you enjoy getting to know our contributing

writers and photographers, rising lifestyle trends in fashion and

technology, along with a few surprises here and there.

I’d like to personally thank Sandy Redman, Ramin

Pourteymour, Denise Hug and Phyllis Parrish for joining our

cover shoot for April. Shot on location at the Grand Del Mar in

Rancho Santa Fe, the cover is a prelude to The Arc of San Diego’s

upcoming “Jewels of San Diego” Gala on May 5. Returning with

a bold Moulin Rouge Cabaret experience for attendees, the much

anticipated spring event will raise much-needed funds for the Arc’s

annual programs. For more information about The Arc’s programs

and event details, please see pages 38 and 43.

Enjoy!

NEW IN TOWNGETTING TO KNOW SAN DIEGO’S LATEST ADDITIONS

Warren Sheets Design Masterminds Redesign ofLa Jolla’s Grande Colonial

The landmark Grande Colonial, celebrating its Centen-nial anniversary in 2013, has completed $500,000 renova-tion of the hotel’s entry and foyer, lobby and surrounding public spaces and three adjacent meeting rooms. Interior design was provided by Warren Sheets Design, Inc., a San Francisco-based architectural and interior design firm noted locally for their work on The Grand Del Mar resort. The 1913 Colonial-Revival style hotel now features elegant European-residential style interiors – done in what Sheets describes as “new traditional” – with a bold color palette and subtle contemporary nuances. “We wanted to speak to the hotel’s colorful past by creating a strong juxtaposition of old and new,” Sheets explained.Web: thegrandcolonial.com

San Diego’s Historic Gaslamp Recently Welcomed Red Light District’s Dining Room and Social House Concept

Red Light District’s menu, created by Executive Chef Ja-son Maitland, is inspired by old world comfort food with mod-ern French and Japanese influences. Items are hearth-style entrees that re-invent the local dining experience in down-town San Diego by bringing back local, sustainable comfort food. Eloquent service is modeled after European standards with tableside preparation of select menu items. In addition, specialty menus will change seasonally. So named after San Diego’s gaslamp district of the early 1900s, the restau-rant is located at 409 F Street in a 160-year-old building. Web: rldsd.com

Schubach Aviation Adds Hawker 800XP to FleetSchubach Aviation, San Diego’s largest air charter com-

pany, has augmented its fleet of corporate, luxury aircraft with a newly acquired Hawker 800XP. The aircraft is best suited for transcontinental flights to the East Coast, Canada

or Mexico, or for passengers wanting spacious cabin room for shorter-range trips. Featuring the largest cabin in the mid-size jet category, the Hawker 800XP can accommodate up to eight passengers.Web: schubachaviation.com

Headquartered in San Diego, Adaptive Market Space Brings New Online Auction for Adaptive Equipment

Adaptive Market, LLC works to help improve lives for individuals in the disabled community by providing an online market to buy and sell previously owned adaptive equip-ment. The site became a reality after realizing many people in the disabled community stored equipment they no longer needed and/or in cases where they did not have the means to purchase new equipment. With many failed attempts of selling online in other mainstream markets, it became clear that an online market focusing on people with disabilities and their needs is necessary.Web: adaptivemarketspace.com

The culinary program at 100 Wines Hillcrest will take casual, wine bar cuisine to a new level; heavily influenced by Spain, France, and Italy, the menu will showcase a num-ber of shared small plates crafted by numerous local chefs, including Katherine Humphus, a rising culinary talent and Executive Chef of BO-beau kitchen + bar. The restaurant will also feature a vast array of wines ranging from local California to international selections. A concept by Cohn Restaurant Group founders, David and Lesley Cohn, 100 Wines will embrace a cozy and intimate 2,500 square foot space along University Avenue in Hillcrest. The restaurant is set to open in Summer 2012. Web: 100wineshillcrest.com

birthplace of California. And while it is a

cornerstone destination for tourists and out-of-town

A s the baseball season opens with great fan-

fare and new additions to the roster, is the

promotion of Josh Byrnes as the Padres’

general manager that has sparked much interest

and media buzz; waiting anxiously in anticipation

to see what the new frontman will bring. Lauded

by team Vice Chairman Jeff Moorad as a terrific

leader, Byrnes brings a confidence and boldness

to the role along with an 18-year career in Major

League Baseball that spans the Cleveland Indians,

the Boston Red Rox, the Colorado Rockies and the

Arizona Diamondbacks. In directing the overall

management of drafting, development, and the

team roster, Byrnes is in fact the ninth GM in

franchise history. Byrnes took the time to share with

FINE Magazine his vision for the future of the San

Diego Padres and their upcoming season, as well as

his personal thoughts on being in San Diego.

Q: Mr. Byrnes, please tell FINE Magazine and our

readers what you feel will be your main goals for

the San Diego Padres baseball organization; both

short-term and long-term, in guiding and leading

them into a championship position?

Josh Byrnes: We have worked very hard to build a

young talent base. Most baseball publications have

ranked our farm system number one in baseball or

near the top. Now that we have that foundation,

we need to have some patience to let the players

mature. As we grow into a more competitive team,

we will try to add the right pieces so that we truly

become a championship-caliber organization.

Q: What do you feel will be some of the challenges

and obstacles that the San Diego Padres will have

to overcome in order to achieve the results of these

goals?

Byrnes: Patience is one challenge. Any team trying

to win with a lower payroll must have a deep group

of young players on the roster. With youth comes

uncertainty. We need to monitor the progress of all

of our young players and determine when they can

contribute to a winning team.

Q: With all your knowledge and experience you

have attained in the world of professional baseball,

being involved in various organizations, how do

you see your task as being different in managing the

San Diego Padres now that you are more seasoned

and further advanced in your career, in where you

possess a culmination of understanding and know-

how to administer a team?

Byrnes: Many lessons from my time in Cleveland

(1994-1999) still apply. We will need to grow with

this core of players. I will need to determine when

to be patient and when to be aggressive. I would

like to think that my experience will help me make

those determinations. We have a great staff here

that provides valuable input on any decisions that

are made.

Q: What message would you like to convey to the

local fans of the Padres about what to look forward

to with the new management and the direction of

our team?

Byrnes: Every team wants young talent in their

organization. We have that. It has been proven

that a farm system this strong almost always leads

to success at the Major League level. We are very

optimistic about our future, and we are very hungry

to start our winning ways as soon as possible.

Q: How do you view the fans as well as the people

of San Diego in comparison to the other cities you

have been in?

Byrnes: I have found the fans in San Diego to be

very knowledgeable, very fair and very passionate.

“I have found the fans in San Diego to be very knowledgeable, very fair and very passionate. In general, the fans want to see a plan,” notes Padres GM Josh Byrnes. “They want to see a team that plays with passion. Most important, they want a championship. Our goals are the exact same.”

Josh Byrnes, Padres GM

FINEsd.com 35

In general, the fans want to see a plan. They want to

see a team that plays with passion. Most important,

they want a championship. Our goals are the exact

same.

Q: When you have some downtime from baseball,

what are some of your favorite past-times and local

hotspots that you enjoy around San Diego?

Byrnes: With a young family, I have enjoyed the

typical San Diego spots (the beach, Sea World, etc.).

San Diego is my wife’s hometown, so she certainly

knows her way around better than I do.

Q: Lastly, on a personal note, you are originally

from the Washington, D.C. area and moved around

quite a bit with the different baseball organizations;

can you please tell our readers what you love the

most about being on the west coast in San Diego

and what do you miss most about being on the east

coast?

Byrnes: For the most part, the east coast has a

longer history than the west coast. As an example,

the Red Sox have a fan base that spans several

generations. When we won the World Series in

2004, I heard of many people going to grave sites

to tell deceased relatives that the 86-year drought

was finally over. There is a real sense of history and

a real sense of community in San Diego. Everybody

loves living [here] in San Diego, but there is also a

sense of community pride. Obviously, sports teams

are part of that community pride. We definitely feel

a responsibility to put the best possible team on the

field. f

The Jewels of San Diego Gala, a charity

benefitting The Arc of San Diego, originated

with the philanthropic generosity of Phyllis

and John Parrish in 2010 - a couple who moved to

San Diego 37 years ago from New Orleans. With

a strong passion to make a difference in the lives of

those who were less fortunate, the couple decided

to develop an alliance with The Arc of San Diego,

in helping the disabled community; due in part to

also having raised a son who had a disability. It is

through their commitment and desire to give back

that they organized a group of giving individuals

to progressively continue on with The Arc and its

mission to help those challenged with the disability

and their family members.

Currently in its third year, the Gala provides the

financial avenues to establish support systems and

programs to enhance and improve the day-to-day

lives of members within the disability community.

This year’s event will be a musical held at the

Grand Del Mar, and is being choreographed by TV

personality Mary Murphy and produced by Leonard

Simpsons’ There’s No Biz Like Show Biz. The evening

will feature the highly anticipated Moulin Rouge

Cabaret Show for guests to enjoy. Distinguished

Honorary and Committee Members will also be

honored for their loyal contributions in helping

The Arc further its mission to offer the gift of an

independent lifestyle.

“My vision and involvement for The Arc

with The Jewels of San Diego is to know that all

members of society with a disability, including my

son, will have the opportunity to lead a self-sufficient

lifestyle,” Phyllis Parrish expressed. “And, to have the

reassurance, as a mother, to know that individuals

like my son, who struggle with a disability will be

able to take care of themselves and lead successful

lives of their own someday.”

w e often take for granted the value of

being independent until it is taken away,

or may not even realize how much of a

privilege it is to have the personal freedom and means

to do things on our own. The Arc of San Diego strives

to assist individuals with disabilities, and continues to

provide the gift of helping those with disability-based

challenges achieve and maintain an independent

lifestyle. Due to the commitment and initiative of

forward-thinking advocates, the organization of The

Arc can be attributed to a group of concerned parents

and their vision of implementing various support

systems and providing resources for individuals with

disabilities. This movement was pursued further by

The Ocean Beach Junior Women’s Club, and by 1951

California’s Governor, Earl Warren, signed a bill,

offering Public Education Training for individuals

with learning and developmental disabilities; soon

after, The Society of Exceptional Children was

established.

In continuing with this cause, The Arc is

dedicated to promoting and attaining a healthy and

productive livelihood for the young as well as adults

with disabilities — both intellectually and physically.

In creating service programs within the community,

The Arc promotes awareness and offers outreach

support groups in fulfilling an integral role of

helping individuals and families overcome obstacles

encountered on a daily basis. This includes assisting

families to cope with the inherent-born disabilities

of young infants, offering job placement and

educational classes, and teaching adults life skills in

becoming self-reliant with the goal of reaching their

full potential.

The Arc’s Jennifer Bates Navarra, Vice President

of Marketing, shares a moving story of one of their

volunteers, by the name of Meliha, who started

volunteering as a result of her sister’s support from

The Arc and how it impacted their family. The

assistance provided by The Arc gave Meliha and her

family the hope that her sister would have the means

to lead a normal and productive life. And, due to

The Arc’s tremendous support, empowering Meliha’s

sister to maintain an independent lifestyle, Meliha

had the urge to give back to the community and help

others in need. In November of 2011, Meliha began

donating her time by leading music classes at the

non-profit.

Other service programs of The Arc include:

• The Parent Infant Program: Focused on young

children from birth to 3 years of age, who are

considered “at risk” or have developmental

delayes. Its objective is to create a relaxed and

playful environment, while simultaneously

enhancing their motor, cognitive, and language

skills; as well as, encourage personal and social

interaction through specific self-help activities

by having speech therapists and behavioral

specialists involved with their progress.

The Arc of San Diego continues its mission to simply empower disabled individuals in

reaching their fullest level of independence through its many programs and very presence.

• Arc Community Employment Program:

Guides and offers employment opportunities

for individuals with disabilities. This service

allots professional advice on job placement

with various organizations throughout San

Diego, and assistance in writing resumes while

providing individualized coaching for the

interviewing process.

• Currently, The Arc is in the process of

implementing health and wellness programs in

fitness facilities, lending access to the disability

community to promote overall health through

nutrition and proper exercise.

In recognizing individuals with disabilities,

the month of March is officially commemorated

“Disability Awareness Month,” due to a

proclaimation by President Ronald Reagan in 1987.

In the declaration, our former president stated,

“For many of these people with developmental

disabilities, there is now the prospect of a brighter

future and greater opportunity. Americans are

becoming increasingly aware that such disabilities

need not keep individuals from realizing their full

potential in school, work, at home, [or] as members

of their families and their communities.”

Reagan’s powerful message affirms these values;

and The Arc of San Diego continues paving the

way for members of the disability community to

actualize their full capabilities. Last year, The Arc

celebrated their 60th year of service, and along

with their continued efforts of initiating programs

for individuals with disabilities, the non-profit

keeps the heartfelt mission from a group of Ocean

Beach women alive by laying the foundation for the

disability community to excel, prosper, and lead

successful lives in becoming independent. F

LOVEby Design

A s a matchmaker and relationship

coach, I provide insight and advice

to many single professionals seek-

ing love. So if you’re ready to take your “me” to a

“we”, here are some quick tips for making it happen:

1. Get crystal clear on what you are looking for.

Who you choose shapes your destiny! Know

your own core values and make sure they align

with the people you date. This is a MUST for

successful long-term relationships. Use your

head AND your heart!

2. Be grateful for the all the wrong people you’ve

dated. Appreciate the lessons, notice your

patterns, and don’t keep making the same

mistakes. Evolve. When you meet “The One”,

you’ll understand why none of the others have

worked out.

3. Be your best self so you can attract the

best! When you are whole and happy, you will

fi nd a love that compliments you, not completes

you. Complete yourself. When you have self-

esteem and “a life”, you won’t make someone

else responsible for your happiness or respon-

sible for your pain.

4. Design a plan and TAKE ACTION! Every time

you get out of the house is a dating opportu-

nity. Take risks, try new things. And when your

current plan doesn’t work, rather than getting

discouraged, change your approach! Dedicate

yourself to fi nding love. It’s worth it!

Choose LOVE!

Home to San Diego, Shea Chic Boutique — offering all-natural lotions, creams, candles, and bath products — has become one of the fastest growing brands in the region, boasting a 300 percent growth spurt in the past year and a half. With an ever-present tenacious spirit, Founder April Leffingwell has created quite the buzz from Hollywood to New York; not to mention a true California luxury.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Born out of illness, craftswoman of ‘all

things fragrant’, April Leffingwell began

Shea Chic nearly by accident. “I simply

couldn’t get out of bed one day,” she explains. April

found herself homebound due to a degenerative

spinal condition that kept her in bed for nearly

six months. Trapped and forgoing a robust career

in radio, she was used to the simple pleasures of

perfumes, creams and soaps which, ironically, were

to begin a therapeutic value soon enough.

As her husband began bringing scented treasures

home to lift her spirits, an idea began to emerge

in April’s mind about making soaps and creams

of her own. Some of her research revealed harsh

chemicals present in one of her previously favorite

products, and ultimately, April decided to seek out

only natural ingredients for her own creations.

After recovering some mobility, she began making

products, and after sharing some of her soaps and

creams with friends, an inspired enterprise was

born.

WHAT IS IN A PRODUCT – SHEA STyLE

Using Shea Butter as a foundation with its healthy

cellular-invigorating and moisturizing properties,

April began experimenting with all kinds of scents

to create designer-inspired fragrances that she

loved. As a fatty nut grown in Africa, Shea Butter

contains vitamins A and E and has antimicrobial

and anti-inflammatory qualities. In addition, it

protects against harmful UV rays and is effective in

ameliorating some skin disorders like eczema and

psoriasis, among others.

In addition, Shea Butter’s rich moisture melts

into the skin and with April’s deft hand at fragrance

combinations, it is easy to see how the business has

skyrocketed so quickly. “One customer told me

she is addicted to the Goddess cream,” says April,

smiling. It is almost as if you want to keep applying

it because of how silky your skin feels and how

tantalizing it smells.

Currently, Shea Chic boasts more than 90

products of creams, soaps, bath salts and bombs,

candles and lip balms for women; there is also a

line of soaps, creams, and fragrances for men as

well, with a shave cream in early testing. Even more

so, the company has grown 300 percent since its

inception in August 2010. Remarkably, Shea Chic

has provided products in gift bags at the Emmys,

American Music Awards, Golden Globes and the

Oscars this year alone, a stunning accomplishment

for any company so new to the market.

Finally, Shea Chic’s fresh fragrances and product

names are evocative of the Southern California

culture and lifestyle: names like Surfer Girl,

Bite Me and Zen, to name a few. In fact, April’s

hope is to make Shea Chic a ‘must buy’ item for

California natives and visitors alike. “It’s all about

the experience of pampering yourself,” she says.

“Someday I hope the Shea Chic name becomes

a ‘must take away’ thing for people after visiting

California.” With such a meteoric rise and over 300

celebrity endorsements on record, that day could

come quite soon indeed. F

S ince beginning my journey on “The

Biggest Loser” nearly three years ago, I

have learned many things; some good, and

some, not so good. I am on a mission to share with

anyone who will listen to what I have experienced

so they may glean from my successes and steer

clear of my mistakes. Anyone who is on a journey

to health and wellness will know that there is always

ups and downs, and always a lesson to be learned.

Let us start with the good stuff:

Wellness Rule # 1: Only YOU Can do it For You

I get messages, posts, and emails daily asking

to “help motivate me” in their plight. I have some

bad news: I can’t. Motivation comes from within

yourself; you have to find the reason that gets you

up out of bed every day willing to do whatever it

takes to shake the unhealthy shell you live in and

do something for yourself. Your reasons should not

be someone or anything temporary; if they are, you

will fail when faced with pain or fatigue.

Wellness Rule # 2: Eat Lean, Clean, and Green

Ask yourself the following types of questions

when food shopping: is my food “clean?”; is my food

colorful?; can I pronounce all of the ingredients in

the product? If you do not know what an ingredient

looks like, do not eat it! Try this: stick to items with

seven or less ingredients; has a mom; or grew in the

ground, on the ground, in a tree or on a vine.

These rules should help you as you are

making your decisions on what to eat. Remember

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY and you will find

yourself eating less because your body gets what it

needs; you will stay fuller longer and your body will

detox any unhealthy foods, and you will start to see

and feel changes in your mood as well as your body!

And now for the not so good stuff that I hope all

of you will avoid as you seek your own health.

The Seven DeaDly SinS of WeighT loSS:

1. Not Measuring: Measuring your food may

seem like a really small thing, and it is. However the

consequence of NOT doing it is no small thing! For

me, I did it so much that I got into a groove; there

were times when a measuring cup is not handy, but

I thought when you measure 95 percent of the time

your eyeball measuring is not too far off from the

truth. But when you get used to not measuring and

that 95 percent becomes 5 percent of the time, your

eyeballs get bigger, and bigger. Pretty soon your

“cup” runneth over.

2. Taking a Break: A great person, who meant

well, and had very great intentions, gave me some

really bad advice; they advised me to take a break

to give my body a few weeks to heal from all the

intense workout sessions and losing 225 pounds.

Believe me, those words were honey to my ears

and I gladly welcomed a day where my body did

not ache. But what I should have done was slow

down. By taking a break it lead to sedentary hours

and that led back to old habits which led to longer

breaks, and eventually weight began to creep back

on. When I decided I had enough of a break, it was

devastatingly hard to get back into the groove.

3. Not Journaling: After leaving “The Biggest

Loser,” I was no longer hounded until I got my

journals in. When I took my “break,” I also took

a break from journaling. Journaling is one of the

easiest ways to get a grip on what is going in your

body and what activity you are putting out. If you

are a writer and you like to set goals, try FitBook. If

4. Not Listening to Your Body: During my

Biggest Loser stint, I was offered to run a marathon;

I jumped at the opportunity because it was a way

to challenge myself and have a short term goal

that would require training to help keep me on

track. Throughout the show I had chronic knee pain

and had been told by a doctor that my orthopedic

structure (bones) was not that of a runner; as a

result, running a marathon would not be in my best

interest. Well, I am stubborn and wanted to prove

everyone wrong. A month out from the marathon I

was running up to 13 miles. In training, I tore the

meniscuses in my knee; and it was devastating. I

was not able to run the marathon and the injury led

to an ACL tear in the other knee. When you have

an injury and it is screaming at you, listen.

5. Doing it on Your Own: This is a mistake

that I have often made in many areas of my life.

I stopped reaching out to others, including my

Biggest Loser family and friends. I decided that I

needed to walk this walk alone and that I needed to

figure everything out before I reached out. Boy was

I wrong. By doing this, I cut-off accountability and

I cut-off people who understood what I was facing.

Accountability is one of the most important things

you can have in your journey.

6. Caring Only What Others Think: As I

started slipping into my dark hole, I stopped going

to events, even with my personal friends and family;

I couldn’t face anyone because I was terrified to let

people down or disappoint others. I did not want

anyone to know I was a failure. When you begin

to compare yourself and worry about what others

think, you WILL NEVER MEASURE UP, YOU

WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH. A journey

of weight loss and wellbeing is a personal journey;

and while you may run with others, no one runs

for you.

7. Becoming Apathetic: I just went into autopilot

mode, delved into my work and started focusing on

everything but my health. I still worked out and

some of the healthy habits I had started, remained.

But I let whatever I could fall in the way of me

focusing on my health.

I share these with all of you because if you can

relate then you know you are not alone. If you

can’t, then hopefully you can avoid it all together.

Health has no normal, so get out there and start to

make some changes. f

S urfing, like dancing, falls into the rare

category of performable activities which

can be considered primarily both a sport

and an art. A football player is not judged by how

gracefully he tackles another man to the ground,

and there is no marketable value in the underlying

aesthetic of a batter’s swing; but with surfing,

the manufactured ease of a long barrel ride, or

the beauty of a drawn-out bottom turn reflect a

mastery over wave and equipment that only the

best surfers can call their own. What generally goes

unsaid, though, is how so much of that grace and

ease of movement is made possible by the unsung

architects of the surfing experience.

Tim Bessell is one of the world’s most renowned

shapers. With over 46,000 surfboards shaped, and

a career spanning 40 years, his experience is almost

unparalleled within the industry.

Having started surfing at an early age, Bessell

was already hunched over foam decks in his garage

and shaping by his thirteenth year, and working as

a professional in the Sunset Surfboard shop by age

15 — by which time he had already shaped 200

boards. Soon after that he moved to Hawaii to shape

for one of the worlds pre-eminent manufacturers,

Lightning Surfboards, and was humbled at how

much he had left to learn. “After 500 surfboards I

thought I was [at the top of my game]; after 5,000

I realized I didn’t know anything, and now after

about 40,000, I feel like I am finally comfortable.”

Bessell will be quick to tell you that there is much

more to shaping than just a simple understanding

of board mechanics. With a long background in the

arts and architecture, he cannot help but think of

shaping in a more dynamic light.

“Surfing is both an art and a science,” he

explains. “You’ve got to know about hydrodynamics,

but you’ve also got to have an understanding of

form and aesthetic.” Both aspects of design must

be employed because, in Bessell’s words, “the end

result of every design is the experience a surfer has

at the end of it, riding a wave.”

Recently, Bessell has made another stab at

blurring the borders between shaping and art. With

the acquisition of a license to portray images from

postmodernist legend Andy Warhol, he has decided

to push forward on a line of boards decorated with

pieces from the Warhol collection. For Bessell, this

is “a dream come true,” so if on your next ocean

adventure you see a surfer emerging from under

the lip riding a six foot thruster plastered with

pictures of Campbell’s soup cans, you can know

that somewhere out there in the world, Tim Bessell

is smiling.

Within the surfing community, Bessell has made

a reputation for himself as a renaissance man of the

sea. With his hands now in furniture design, gallery

art, and the conversion of shipping containers

into homes, you cannot go far in this town without

running into one Bessell project or another, and

that is most certainly a good thing. f
