PuBLIShErS LEttEr

Dear Readers,

As most of us begin to plan our summer vacations or destinations for the fall, it’s also a great time

to look back at where we’ve been and where we are going. This month’s issue is all about travel—

both near and far, the familiar and exotic. But it’s also about looking great when you get there.

Summer swimsuits foreshadow tropical hideaways, while the desert sun highlights golf resorts and

shopping explorations. Travel is also about the people we meet, the memories we share and the

lasting impressions we take with us as we discover more of the world we live in.

It’s all about location, and though San Diego beckons people from all over the world, I for one am

truly glad to call this city home. Wherever your travels take you, always make it a FINE occasion.

Eat well, play hard and have fun.

Enjoy your vacation.

PLUM NEW LOCATIONrancho santa fe

After breaking hearts by closing its location on Paseo

Delicias, Plume—a stationery and gift shop—recently

reopened just down the street in Browtique and Spa in

Rancho Santa Fe. Founded by Courtney MacDonald,

Plume was originally a stationery shop that soon

added unique and sophisticated accessories, clothing

and jewelry. Now women can get their stationery (by

appointment) and treats while indulging in one of

Browtique’s spa services. It’s this kind of synergy that

makes Rancho Santa Fe fabulous.

SUB ZERO CREATIVITYencinitas

Add ice cream to the list of bespoke items you enjoy.

Sub Zero, a yogurt and ice-cream shop featured on

ABC’s “Shark Tank,” just opened its latest location

in Encinitas. Unlike other parlors where customers

choose from premade and pre-selected flavors, Sub

Zero uses liquid nitrogen to instantly create and freeze

a custom tailored dessert right before your very eyes.

This franchise is quickly expanding, with 24 stores in the

United States—including one in Escondido and two in

Carlsbad—and one opening in Dubai.

POLITE PROVISIONSnorth Park

Feeling a bit peaked? The antidote is Polite Provisions, a trendy soda shop

and bar that serves up “local tonics, elixirs and cures.” And if peaked gives

way to peckish, you can head next door to Soda & Swine for a bite to eat.

Drinks—from creative cocktails to house-made sodas to punch bowls that

serve more than four people—are made to order while customers watch

from high bar stools. It’s equally chic and nostalgic—and just what the

doctor ordered.

laDies of JustiCe | luxury | lifestyle | living

An imposing lady stands in front of most judicial buildings. She is not security. She is not a bailiff. She is an icon of fairness and judgment. In her right hand, she holds a suspended set

of scales symbolizing truth and fairness, upon which she measures and

balances the strengths of a case’s support and opposition. In her left

hand, she wields a double-edged sword, symbolizing reason and justice.

They call her Lady Justice. This icon may date back to ancient Egypt,

however one can’t help but conjure it up when talking to Debra Lewis

and Sara Compton, the business attorneys behind INC. Legal, APC.

The mother-daughter team is proud of its partnership, which helps

them foster long-term professional relationships.

Lewis is a 30-year veteran of small business law, which includes

litigation, contracts, trade secrets, start-ups, landlord and tenant

services, employment, buy and sell agreements, shareholder disputes

and real estate. She served as the mayor of Rancho Santa Margarita

in 2000 and in the kitchen cabinet of Orange County Supervisor Tom

Wilson.

Lewis’ daughter, Compton is a graduate of UCSD and University of

San Diego Law. She is a certified mediator and has actively served on

several jury trials, including serving as second chairperson and assisting

in jury trial. Her mediating skill has been successful in resolving disputes

without the necessity of going to trial.

An added benefit of having the two women combine their

understanding of how legal requirements intersect with business

practicality and reality is that a client gets billed for only one attorney. It

is this caring quality which differentiates them from just being attorneys,

to also serving as invaluable business and legal advisors.

The chief tenet in their philosophy is to operate with a preventative

strategy to avoid potential expensive courtroom battles. But both are

fearless champions of truth and fairness, and have the strength to

brandish the sword of reason and justice if need be. It’s no chance that

the symbol of their logo is a knight chess piece, representing strategy

and strength.

Lewis and Compton recently sat down with FINE to discuss their

success and philosophies on small businesses.

FINE: What is the success rate of your mediations versus going

to trial?

INC: Success in a lawsuit depends heavily on legal strategy. We

school our clients early on in the process. As anyone knows, it can be

an emotional roller coaster. Managing expectations is key, along with

Ladies of Justicethe legal minds behind inC. legal discuss winning strategies.

May 2013

honestly assessing how each piece of newly acquired information

impacts a client’s position, for better or worse. Therefore, the strategy

is to be in the strongest position possible to win at trial, which in turn

allows the greatest potential for a good settlement before trial.

Lewis: In the overwhelming majority of cases, in my 30 plus years

of doing this, I am able to avoid trial and settle the case on terms

satisfactory to the clients.

FINE: How do you stay current with new legislation between

Orange County and San Diego?

Lewis: We are active in the business community [and] we regularly

meet with business owners and other professionals that service

the business community. I am co-editor of the North County Bar

Association’s (San Diego) monthly publication, which gives me access

to authors writing about legal topics and new development. Both

Sara and I have authored articles for the magazine. We [also] attend

continuing legal education classes to keep current on the law that

impacts our clients. We read numerous publications [and] maybe most

importantly, we listen to our clients.

FINE: Do you find San Diego to be more prevalent in one

practice area than Orange County and vice versa?

INC: Many of our Orange County clients are in the construction

industry. They range from design professionals to trades people such

as civil engineers, flooring, window coverings and tile contractors. San

Diego has a very prominent technology community. But both counties

have a strong entrepreneurial base or privately held corporations or

limited liability entities, many still run by original owners. This is the

type of business we service.

FINE: With heavy taxations and liabilities in California, have

you seen a decline in small business startups?

INC: On the contrary. The past few years have seen people laid off

from jobs starting new businesses. People who may never have had

the courage or resources to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams have

been forced to do so by the economy. New businesses and growing

businesses need good legal advice from the beginning. Too often, we

have to help the do-it-yourself client clean up a mess because they did

not appreciate the longer-term ramifications of legal decisions early

on. We meet too many people who started up corporations or LLCs

through an Internet site, and have no clue why they chose the entity

they chose, and more importantly, what they need to be doing on

a day-to-day basis to make sure the corporation or LLC is there to

protect them in a lawsuit or against creditor demands. Or they have

incorporated in another state only to find that they didn’t avoid the

California taxes or liabilities, but rather now have exposure in two

states. Too many times, we have seen business owners who have surfed

the web, used a contract and found that it didn’t protect them as they

expected.

FINE: What are the top three important considerations for a

small business startup, and how would your firm differ from

others in expertise?

INC: From a legal perspective, we would say: Have a good business

plan. [A lot of businesses] fail because someone is turning a hobby

into a business without any idea of what it takes to make a success

of it. [Such as,] what is my product or service? Who are my target

customers? Do I have enough or do I need investors?

Once you decide the business idea is viable, have a clear

understanding of why you are taking a specific action, which may have

legal ramifications. For example, why am I incorporating vs. choosing

an LLC?

Get a good legal advisor early. Staying out of trouble is so much

easier and cheaper in the long run than cleaning up a mess. Looking

for anyone, [whether] a lawyer, a dentist, or a doctor in crisis is not the

best decision.[continued on page 28]

FINEsd.com | facebook.com/FINEmagazines 27

FINE: How do you handle (if any) prejudices from male clients

or contemporaries?

Lewis: When I started practicing in the early 1980s, it was common for

me to be the only woman in the room. At one deposition I was taking,

before I could ask the first question, the male deponent threatened

me, jumping up with a lit cigar in his mouth just inches from my face

and shouted, “Don’t think because you’re a woman, I won’t hit you!”

He thought he could bully me because I am a woman. He did not

know I had a green belt in karate, and that I had been training with

my husband and two daughters—Sara being one of them. I grabbed

the cigar from his mouth, threw it in the garbage and got into a karate

stance. “Go ahead. Throw the first punch, but I’m throwing the last

punch!” I will never forget the look of shock on his face. He sat down

and the deposition went forward without any interruptions.

Now I’d say almost half the lawyers are women; it is so much different.

We still run into that kind of prejudice from time to time. We handle

it by being extremely knowledgeable and confident in our positions.

When an opposing party can see that we are serious professionals and

not just blustering, that is usually sufficient.

FINE: Which charity organization does INC. Legal stand

behind?

Compton: We are huge supporters of the military, and in particular,

the Marines. My husband is gunnery sergeant in the Marines and

stationed at Pendleton. We understand firsthand the extreme financial

and personal sacrifices military families make to protect the rest of us. We

also help former Marines in their new business ventures.

Another cause we support is Amniotic Fluid Embolism (AFE). This is

a rare and deadly condition and the second leading cause of maternal

death in the U.S. We give our legal services to the AFE foundation.

FINE: What inspires you every day?

Lewis: How lucky I am to have a great family that I love and that

loves me. To have a daughter that actually wants to practice with me.

My four grandkids that I love to pieces and my husband [of 41 years],

Steve. Not many people have all that and live in this great California

climate.

Compton: Helping people find solutions to legal problems. I am

inspired to be a role model to my two daughters. I want my daughters

to be strong, independent and self-sufficient. I want them to see that

education and hard work are what will allow them to be productive and

give them the freedom to choose a career path that is fulfilling. I also

want them to see that a woman can achieve balance between having

a fulfilling successful career and a great family life. Additionally, since

their father is a career Marine, he is gone for months at a time. While

he is gone, they inspire me to stay strong. I want to show them that even

though daddy is not with us for a while, he is still in our hearts and he

loves us and even while he is away, we are still a family.

FINE: How did you come to choose the knight (chess piece) in

your logo?

Lewis: Through brainstorming with Sara. She thought of the name,

“INC. Legal.” We wanted our name to say who we are at a glance.

We [also] wanted a logo that evoked the image of strength and being

strategic, since that is how we practice. We thought about the queen,

but we did not want to confine our image to strictly female. The chess

horse piece often makes the opening move, and it is used strategically

to take opponent pieces and protect its own pieces. And the horse is a

strong animal.

BeyonD tHe Horizon | luxury | lifestyle | living

Vietnam. Southeast Asia. Ho Chi Minh. These words tend to stir conflicting images for

a generation who witnessed the world

change, as soldiers were sent into the

jungle over night. Today they represent

both history and the unknown—an exotic

Communist nation in the midst of a

postmodern globalized world.

But often it is from the ashes that new life

arises—a new destination to explore and

discover. Vietnam still lives in the shadows

of Western society, but just beyond the

horizon, a new day comes and Vietnam

is looking brighter than ever. More than

2,000 miles of coastline boarding the South

China Sea harken international travelers

to experience tropical beaches, incredible

World Heritage Sites and stunning

biodiversity. And while the country’s

natural grandeur appeals to those souls who

seek adventure and wisdom, its surprising

metropolises are equally breathtaking—as

this ancient culture attempts to balance a

profoundly difficult history with modern

Western luxuries, technology and culture.

Vietnam is one of only a handful of

Communist countries remaining in the

world. Long since divided by ideology,

the country now enjoys solidarity

geographically and politically, proving it

a safer and easier travel destination. The

size of this country is best represented

by the various cities, local people and

activities that highlight various points

of historical and modern interest. It’s a

destination that has worked effortlessly

to attain status beyond assumptions that

linger from decades passed. Traveling here

is an exploration of food, culture, and

international shopping, as well as a test of

personal discovery, as adventure seekers

dive into the unknown and unexpected.

Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi

Minh City is the contemporary heartbeat

of Vietnam. This metropolitan area is

home to more than nine million people

with many luxurious accommodations to

take visitors from the intense city hustle to

pleasant and calming comfort. The Rex

in District 1 is an updated hotel famous

for entertaining American officers and

war correspondents in the 1960s and 70s.

Limousine services, a private gym and staff

babysitters are just a few of the unexpected

luxuries afforded to guests at this historical

hotel. The Park Hyatt Saigon effortlessly

balances familiar comfort and exotic pull.

From elegant stateroom windows, the busy

streets below look strangely peaceful as

hundreds of motorbikes, pedestrians and

small vehicles make their ways in collected

chaos. The Hyatt staff is fluent in English

Beyond The HorizonMoving into the future, vietnam also retains its past.

and ready to assist in planning a day’s

adventure to various exciting destinations

throughout the city.

Some of the country’s best historical

points of interest, including the Saigon

Zoo and Botanical Gardens, can be

enjoyed within this city. One of Ho Chi

Minh City’s most notable crossings—Ben

Thanh Market—is prized by locals and

tourists alike. Just about anything can be

purchased from within several adjoining

buildings, from silk blouses and souvenirs,

to steaming bowls of pho and incredibly

refreshing Chè—a mixture of exotic

cut fruits, molasses, coconut milk and

shaved ice. This market is a great place to

experience the lifeblood of the economy

and the hustle of cultural intersections, as

people from all over the world come here

to shop incredible bargains.

The Diamond Plaza, also located in

District 1, is home to several high-end

luxury boutiques that cater to tourists with

discerning taste. Completed in 1999, this

multi-level shopping mall also includes

a cinema, several cafes and restaurants,

office suites, and apartments. This

beautiful architectural jewel foreshadows

the budding industrial future of the city

and the country’s desire to accommodate

Westernization.

The intense sound of transportation that

fills this busy metropolis is silenced moving

up the coast. For travelers that seek both

privacy and opulent accommodations,

there is no substitute for Da Nang.

Centrally located, Da Nang is famous for its

international port and pivotal role during

the Vietnam War. The city is quiet and

slow—almost still compared to Vietnam’s

major cities. The sand that stretches across

these beaches is fine and white, the ocean

breeze cool and fragrant—and the people

and hospitality reflect this lifestyle.

Vietnam takes an incredible leap toward

resort and luxury lifestyle in Da Nang,

which draws people in from all over the

world. The tropical climate and unspoiled

stretches of sand have been recognized the

world, and some of the best hotels and

resorts in Asia are here.

Guests will feel completely at peace at

the Furama Resort in Da Nang, a luxury

resort that surprises travelers with beautiful

suites, beachfront views, five-star dining,

spa services, and several lagoons and pools

for lounging. But the pool is the last place

to be in Da Nang. The pristine beaches

and turquoise waters are best viewed from

shady cabanas situated in the sand. During

the day, the beach is only sprinkled with a

few people, as locals don’t typically enjoy

the waves until the sun begins to set—

making these secluded beaches the perfect

place to quietly rejuvenate under the sun.

Redefining luxury at a new Da Nang

hotel is the Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort,

an InterContinental hotel with absolutely

every amenity one could imagine while

on vacation. This palatial escape includes

a library, game room, complete business

center, health spa, limousine services and

more. An English-friendly and hospitable

staff meticulously prepares every detail for

guests in this Vietnamese paradise.

In Da Nang, a savory menu of fresh

seafood is available almost year round.

From simple fish to more adventurous

crustaceans, travelers to the city by the sea

simply can’t miss the bounty lining most of

the main streets, calling customers in with

May 2013

[continued on page 32]


May 2013

huge tanks of live seafood—some almost

escaping these aquariums to make it back

to sea. And seafood isn’t just on the menu.

Here, most restaurants enjoy oceanfront

views as well. For a comfortable dining

experience and incredible ocean view, dine

at The Blue Whale Restaurant, known for

its modern and updated interior, complex

wine list, abundant seafood selection and

helpful Western accommodations.

Once recharged in Da Nang, Vietnam

has more adventure to offer in the north,

where the county’s culture is far more

traditional and exotic to Western explorers.

Once occupied by the French and once

the capital of French Indochina, Hanoi

is the capital of Vietnam and the second

largest city. This northern metropolis

is wildly different than Ho Chi Minh.

The urban areas surrounding the Red

River are architecturally inspired by the

French occupation and known commonly

as the French Quarter or Old Quarter.

Here, travelers can take in the collision

of European and Asian style, along with

traditional histories at several museums

including The National Museum of

Vietnamese History, The Vietnamese

Museum of Fine Arts and several Ho

Chi Minh exhibitions. Hanoi is far less

cosmopolitan than the south, as a strong

division of political ideology is present

despite the unification of this country, and

the people who live here tend to struggle

marrying the new world with the old.

From Hanoi, just a few hours east,

travelers prepare to behold one of the most

beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Sites

on the planet—Ha Long Bay. Northwest of

the Golf of Tonkin, the bay is dotted with

monolithic islands covered in lush jungle.

Many of these islands are hollow and reveal

stunning cave interiors and natural grottos

that transform the surrounding world into

a playful fantasy. The legend of this bay

claims that gods sent dragons to protect the

Vietnamese people from foreign invaders.

The dragons spat out jade and jewels that

took shape as the islands that blocked the

invaders and now make up the bay.

The stories of these island formations

may be lost to antiquity but touring these

breathtaking seascapes is more luxurious

than ever before. Aboard handcrafted

wood boats called junks, guests can watch

the panoramic views slowly change with

the tide—sailing through a maze of sea

and jungle. Enjoy fine wine and dining,

luxurious suites and several water activities

like snorkeling and kayaking, aboard

one of several fleets that tour regularly

throughout the year. These intimate and

romantic cruises provide a unique glimpse

of the natural beauty while affording a

unique slice of luxury on the open China

Sea.

Those who commit to make this journey

will return changed—by the people, the

common experience of the human spirit,

and the understanding that the world is a

much bigger and more diverse place than

one could simply ever imagine, even when

enjoying luxury abroad. For many, Vietnam

is the Far East of imagination, and perhaps

traveling to this destination will fill a much

needed reality—that Vietnam is evolving,

changing, becoming a place that people

can experience with eyes wide open, as

the sun sets on the eastern shoreline, just

beyond the horizon.

For more than three decades, the Ramage family name has been synonymous with the development

of Olivenhain real estate. Ray and Phyllis

Ramage built one of the first homes on

Dove Hollow Road in the mid 1970s, a

time when Olivenhain real estate had yet

to blossom. When Phyllis Ramage first

went to work for Coldwell Banker—the

proverbial new kid on the block—she knew

exactly which territory would best suit

her ambitious career: Olivenhain. While

no other agent wanted to sell homes in

what many considered “the sticks,” Phyllis

Ramage gladly took the opportunity to

market where she lived, quickly building the

reputation as the monarch of Olivenhain

real estate.

“I knew Olivenhain had a similar potential

for growth as Rancho Santa Fe did,” she

said. And when no other real estate agent

shared her vision, Phyllis Ramage accepted

a wide open market in which to develop. “I

can remember selling my first house over

$1 million,” she recalled. “I knew at that

point my vision for Olivenhain was coming

to fruition.”

In 1989, Phyllis’ son, Lee Ramage

came into the business after a career as

a professional motocross racer and San

Diego police officer. “I became a police

officer because I needed to work at a job

that was dangerous after retiring from

motocross racing,” Lee Ramage quipped.

“I just knew I wouldn’t be happy unless the

hair on the back of my neck stood on end

at least a few times a week.”

His propensity for danger was curbed

greatly after he married his wife of 25

years, Tammi, in 1988. “It was time to

stop thinking of myself, and start to think

about raising a family,” he explained. “Law

enforcement is not an ideal job for a family

man.”

Naturally Lee Ramage approached his

mother to ask for a partnership, which she

enthusiastically accepted. However, there

was one stipulation: He would have to

expand the business, and the only method

Phyllis Ramage would accept left her son

knocking on the doors in Olivenhain and

getting to know the neighborhood. After a

few years of prospecting door to door, Lee

Ramage was able to more than double the

family business. Today, no other agent has

sold more property in Olivenhain than the

mother-and-son duo.

Olivenhain Legacyno agent is better equipped to sell in olivenhain than the ramage real estate group.

“I truly believe my training as a

professional athlete equipped me to

represent our clientele in a way no other

agent can,” Lee Ramage said. “I’m

competitive—when my negotiations result

in the sale of a client’s home, I feel like I

did when I won a professional motocross

race.”

His mother proudly agrees: “Lee is

just incredibly driven and that translates

into something valuable for Olivenhain

homeowners.”

Lee Ramage is confident when he says

he and his mother can get more money

for an Olivenhain home than any other

agent. “We have so much more to offer a

homeowner that wants to sell their home,

including the only real estate office in the

heart of Olivenhain,” he said. “Every

prospective home-buyer will drive by our

office at some point.”

This exclusivity provides their clients

several distinct advantages. Clients can

rest assured knowing that their property

will have prime visibility, thanks to their

Olivenhain central office location. Lee

and Phyllis also offer complex brochures,

available in boxes on the side of their

office building, as well as innovative video

productions. These video productions

include high-definition home tours that

offer perspective home buyers the ability to

tour a Ramage listing 24 hours a day, seven

days a week, anywhere in the world. These

video tours link to QR codes featured in

print advertising, brochures and for sale

signs, giving prospective homebuyers the

opportunity to view a video of a client’s

home on their cell phone or tablet. These

videos provide the Ramages’ listings with

international exposure thanks to the

internet.

“We are also consummate salespeople,”

Lee Ramage added. “We don’t send

our assistants to open our listings for a

prospective home buyer like most other

agents. We show up to sell the home and

the neighborhood. It takes knowledge

and the ability to sell to get top dollar for

an Olivenhain home. Homeowners that

choose other agents to sell their homes

don’t know what they’re missing.”

Recently, the Ramages became part

owners in the real estate company, FINE

Homes Real Estate,. a combination of

luxury real estate and an extension of

FINE Magazine, which distributes 30,000

magazines monthly to affluent communities

throughout San Diego County and into

Orange and Los Angeles counties.

The Ramages are native to San Diego.

Ray Ramage graduated from La Jolla High

School and is the acting broker of FINE

Homes Real Estate, as well as an associate

pastor at Horizon Christian Fellowship in

Fairbanks Ranch and the right-hand man

for Pastor Bob Botsford. Phyllis Ramage

graduated from San Diego High School

and was Miss San Diego in 1955, Miss

Majorette of America and in the half-time

show for the San Diego Chargers in the

1960s.

Their son Lee Ramage graduated from

Torrey Pines High School and was the

number one ranked 500cc professional

motocross racer in the State of California

in 1981, until an injury ended his career.

He and his wife have three children, the

oldest, Robert, of whom is just starting in

the family real estate business.

hear more about the advantages of listing

a property with a family that has left its

legacy in Olivenhain. Call 760-518-9646

DESERT GEM | LuxuRy | Lifestyle | Living MAy 2013

Surrounded by the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains and offering year-round sunshine, it’s no surprise that

La Quinta has been named the “Gem of

the Desert.” For decades, visitors have been

drawn to this California city to experience

the best in leisure and luxury. And this gem

does not disappoint.

Long hailed as an exclusive resort

getaway, La Quinta hosts some of the top

golf courses in all of the desert, as well as

dining, shopping in the quaint village area,

biking along the Bear Creek Trail, and

hiking in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto

mountains.

The most prominent feature of this area

is the mountain ranges. First populated

by the Cahuilla people—one of a few

Native American tribes that dug wells—

the San Jacinto Mountains are known for

their natural beauty. The “Palm Springs”

segment of “Soarin’ over California”—

Disney’s famous simulator tour of the

state—was actually shot at the famous

PGA WEST golf complex in La Quinta,

with the Santa Rosa Mountains clearly

visible.

Thanks to its surrounding natural beauty

and plethora of amenities, the city enjoys a

healthy tourism industry, especially during

the cooler months when the snowbird

tourists arrive. A “golf mecca” in both

the summer and winter, La Quinta boasts

more than 20 golf courses, including

PGA WEST, which hosts the Humana

Challenge (formerly the Bob Hope Desert

Classic) each January. The city’s public

SilverRock resort owns the Arnold Palmer

Classic Course, and La Quinta Resort &

Club has six courses open to its guests.

And golf is not the only draw to the La

Quinta Resort and Club. In 1926, Walter

Morgan built it as a secluded hideaway

for nearby Hollywood’s celebrities and

socialites. Blessed with the natural beauty

of the mountains and the desert, it began

as a private retreat for such Hollywood

legends as Greta Garbo and Clark Gable.

Today, La Quinta has grown into a retail,

restaurant, art and entertainment hub

tucked in this quaint mountain cove.

Desert GemArticle by Wayne McCollum | All photos used with permission

From golf to shopping, La Quinta offers something for everyone.



While La Quinta has some of the most

beautiful housing communities in the

country, it is also home to a wide range

of lodging accommodations. From the

quiet solitude of a bed and breakfast to

world-class resort facilities, the needs

of the business traveler to that of the

visiting tourist can be met. Nestled into

the community, these beautiful retreats

provide breathtaking views and service to

meet the needs of the most discriminating

traveler. While the La Quinta Resort’s 800

casitas, suites and villas spread over 45

acres of lushly landscaped grounds and

citrus groves, Homewood Suites, Lake La

Quinta Inn and the Embassy Suites each

offer their own quaint charm and a variety

of accommodations.

Full of local charm, Old Town La Quinta

boasts a picturesque Main Street, lined

with restaurants, antiques, cafes and shops.

At Old Town, you can pass the day with

friends, run a quick errand or relax at a

sidewalk café. The area is alive with outdoor

concerts, art shows, seasonal activities and

a weekly in-season farmers’ market, and

the nearby La Quinta Museum features

historical artifacts from the area.

No matter your pleasure, you’re sure to

find plenty of reasons to come and enjoy

this little piece of paradise.

Global AppealModel Summer Crosley bares all on her mission

to encourage environmental conservation.

Jet-setters from around the world know that from here to there, locale is everything when deciding what to pack and where to play. For model and actress Summer Crosley, her three travel essentials are sunscreen, multiple sunglasses and a camera to capture the action. Touring the world is just part of the gig for this leggy globetrotter, and these exotic locations have inspired her passionate conservation efforts that have people looking at the big blue picture.

It’s hard to imagine this incredible beauty

running and hiding from a camera lens, but that’s exactly how she describes herself as a young girl. Today, this is clearly not a problem, as Crosley has earned international modeling success with GQ India, GQ South Africa, GQ Australia, FHM and Vogue Italy. This eco-conscious brunette has global appeal and with her international celebrity, she plans on making a difference.

Recently, Crosley’s growing career has taken her to South Africa, Brazil, Bali and Fiji—exotic destinations perfect for snapping pictures, enjoying culture and taking in stunning environmental beauty.

And it’s this natural beauty that Crosley saw under attack as she prepared for luxurious fashion shoots and noticed these world-renowned beaches were littered with trash.

“I started noticing that some of the most beautiful beaches had trash on them…so I decided to take action and start beach clean ups,” Crosley explained. “Our oceans need to be protected, and we’re the ones that need to take part in the solution.”

Crosley is using her star power to boost awareness for ocean and wildlife conservation, an issue that effects San Diego personally with each passing year. More and more, celebrity figures step up and out of the spotlight to take action


continued from page 43

New York

alongside charities and organizations that support these conservation endeavors both at home and abroad.

“I encourage people to start their own beach cleanups amongst friends or family… even on their own, if they’re out on a beach stroll or taking the dogs for a walk,” Crosley advised. “I also encourage people to stop using plastic. Only about a third of all plastic products are recovered for reuse and recycling. Plastic is the main cause of why our oceans are in danger.”

Crosley currently works in partnership with Sea-thos Foundation (seathos.org), an ocean conservation program that helps to protect ocean biodiversity and wildlife. She also owns a company that uses seashells to make candles, donating a portion of these proceeds to the organizations she supports.

“[My] hope is that I get the idea out there and other people will take part,” Crosley said. “There are so many areas of our world with marine or animal life that need to be protected. On a recent visit to Africa, I learned about the decrease in population of elephants, lions and several other



Brazil

New Zealand

animals due to hunting.” With so many organizations and charities

that focus on environmental conservation, it seems that on a global scale, the best remedy is perhaps the smallest. “If everyone would just take part and pick up one piece of trash, our oceans would become much cleaner,” she added.

Crosley’s message is simple, and with the support of others at home and abroad, beauty can remain beautiful for generations to come: “I hope my journey takes me to more beautiful places, with special people, and I make long-lasting memories,” she said.

ALL THAT JAZZ | Luxury | LiFESTyLE | Living

Rolling out the red carpet for their annual black-tie event, The Jewels of San Diego is excited to host

“All That Jazz”—a gala to benefit The

Arc of San Diego. On May 31, guests will

arrive at the US Grant Hotel for a beautiful

cocktail reception, delicious cuisine, live

entertainment and dancing well into the

night.

In 2010, Phyllis and John Parrish brought

their passion for charity to fruition by

establishing The Jewels of San Diego and

developing a strong relationship with The

Arc of San Diego, an organization known

for its outstanding contributions to people

with disabilities. Honorary Jewels chairs—

including the Parrishes, Jeanne Jones and

Don Breitenberg, Marilyn and Kim Fletcher,

support their shared philanthropic mission by

supporting this event. Celebrating its fourth

year, the gala has been acknowledged as one

of the best parties of the season, honoring

individuals who support the community,

as well as raising awareness and money for

those most in need.

The smooth sounds of jazz will fill the

Presidential Ballroom with music and

entertainment performed by Wayne Foster

Music & Entertainment. The evening’s

performances will continue with a jazz era

dance performance by dancers from Mary

Murphy’s Champion Ballroom Academy.

Throughout the night, guests will also enjoy

live and silent auctions of fabulous items sold

to benefit The Arc of San Diego’s essential

life services.

The Arc of San Diego currently serves

more than 2,500 children and adults with

disabilities, and depends on the spirit,

passion and generosity of the philanthropic

community. The Arc is one of the largest and

most respected organizations in San Diego,

serving people with disabilities including

mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy

and Down syndrome.

The Arc of San Diego boasted an

amazing 300 person guest list last year, with

predictions of an equally successful event this

year. Tickets to this one-of-a-kind evening

can be purchased for $200, with proceeds

benefiting The Arc of San Diego. Preferred

Scottsdale has rightly been called the “Ultimate Resort Destination.” With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, the Arizona city offers romantic getaways, gourmet dining,

championship golf, family vacations and adventurous activities.

The city’s calendar of special events is full of annual favorites:

• January: Fiesta Bowl, Barrett-Jackson Collectors Car Auction

and the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

• February: Parada del Sol Concert and Rodeo.

• March: San Francisco Giants Spring Training.

• April: Scottsdale Culinary Festival.

• May: Summer concerts at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park.

• June – August: Golf at exclusive courses at discounted rates.

• October: Scottsdale International Film Festival.

• November: Scottsdale Fashion Week.

To accommodate for these special events, Scottsdale resorts and hotels

are as abundant as the saguaro in the Sonoran desert. Luxury resorts,

hotels and renowned golf resorts set against the beautiful landscape

cater to those who seek the best in personal services, first-class amenities

and red-carpet hospitality. Be prepared to pamper yourself at one of

the much-talked-about Scottsdale resort hotel spas, offering unique

hand-tailored messages and services that will leave you feeling as if

you’ve visited the Fountain of Youth.

While there seems to be no end to the choice of accommodations,

you might want to stay at the prestigious Westin Kierland Resort &

Spa to be near the heart of some of the best shopping and restaurants

imaginable. If your penchant is to be close to some of the best golf in

the desert, then you want the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, located

adjacent to the renowned courses of Troon North Golf Club. One

of the oldest yet most popular stays is the JW Marriott Camelback

Inn, which is showing off its recent $50-million transformation. The

Phoenician, with its AAA five-diamond rating, and the “Jewel of the

Desert,” the Arizona Biltmore, round out the best-of-the best list.

The city is famous for its fine dining, and you will find a collection

of fabulous restaurants peppered about the area. For the steak lover,

look no further than Mastro’s Steakhouse on E. Pinnacle Peak Road,

or on to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse on N. Scottsdale Road. Avanti, a

valley tradition since 1974, serves up some award-winning Italian and

Mediterranean dishes. Scottsdale has more that 90 restaurants along

with its 300 retail shops and more that 80 art galleries.

Don’t forget to stop by the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, which

park. In addition, kids will love the carousel and additional playgrounds

throughout the park. For adults, a railroad museum houses miniature

railroads and much history to explore.

For the shopping enthusiast, Fashion Square Mall, the fifth largest

mall in the country, awaits. The Borgata of Scottsdale and the Hilton

Village are two specialty malls that offer unique stores in a rich, relaxing

environment—and both are outdoor malls. A few minutes out of the

city, and you get a feel of western flavor, with activities for the whole

family, including hiking, climbing, horseback riding, hot air ballooning,

off-roading, outdoor target-shooting, rafting, tubing and water sports.

And some say no trip to Scottsdale is complete without a horseback

riding adventure. Riding along desert trails and through pristine

streams is sure to bring out the cowboy in everyone. No matter the

season, Scottsdale is where you can truly experience “Old West values

and contemporary luxuries.”

Scottsdale resorts and hotels are as abundant as the saguaro in the Sonoran desert. Luxury resorts, hotels and renowned golf resorts set against the beautiful landscape cater to those who seek the best.

Bo-Beau Kitchen + Bar | luxury | lifeStyle | living

As you wind down Point Loma Blvd in the middle of eclectic Ocean Beach, it’s hard to imagine

finding a quaint French farmhouse at the

end of your journey. BO-beau Kitchen +

bar is nothing less than a diamond in the

rough, a jewel of fine French cuisine that is

distinctive in its location as well as quality.

The front entrance is surrounded by

visions of the French countryside, complete

with weathered wood containers filled with

dried herbs, wrought iron accents and old

garden tools. Indoors, gaze upon stone

walls, tall beamed ceilings, antiques, and

a stone hearth fireplace. All of the tables

are packed together in typical bistro style,

surrounded by people in conversation,

adding an exciting and vibrant exhilaration

to the atmosphere.

Be sure to start your experience at the bar,

with a wonderful view of the open-air patio

and potted vegetation. A large wall is filled

with endless bottles of fine wine, finishing

the image of a far-away country and

simpler life. The wine list is nothing short

of impressive, with varietals that span the

world, but certainly the French selection

is the most logical choice. Be sure to ask

your server for a suggestion on the perfect

pairing once you’ve chosen your meal, as

the staff is well-versed in complimenting

your dish with the best wine.

It’s rare to find an authentic and cozy

French bistro in Southern California, but

this tiny little structure houses one of the

finest culinary artists in town. With plenty

of big-time experience under her belt,

Executive Chef Katherine Humphus has

an extraordinary talent in bringing France

to your tableside. “We have somehow

managed to have a real neighborhood feel

and yet be a ‘destination’ restaurant at the

same time,” she says. “Plus the ambience is

one of a kind.”

Bo-Beau’s cuisine has reached an

impeccable maturity displayed by

Humphus, who says she’s mastered the art

of multitasking, while still understanding

the difference and importance of time

constraints, quality, and perfectionism.

Her propensity for creative cuisine has

been seasoned by various stops along

the way, including an internship at the

revered French Laundry in Napa Valley,

California. “I originally started with the

Cohn Restaurant Group at The Prado at

Balboa Park,” she says. “After leaving for

a few years to go to culinary school at Le

Cordon Bleu in Paris, I returned and asked

owner David Cohn if he had any new

projects in the works. He told me to check

out “BO-beau, a new French bistro idea”.

It’s not only the diners having a good

time, but real pleasures await from a

playful and modern menu daring to offer

French specialties served in large portions

that are complete and grounded. Using

sustainable, local, and organic ingredients,

Humphus sources most of her products

from Specialty Produce, also supporting

Point Loma Farms as often as possible.

With one of Bo-beau’s most popular

dishes, the Crispy Brussel Sprouts,

Humphus makes liberal use of balsamic

vinegar, pancetta and shaved parmesan,

all flamboyantly presented in an old-

fashioned glass jar, spilling out over a rustic

cutting board as a plate. Also seen floating

through the dining room on a regular

basis were flatbread choices, highlighting

Humphus’ mastery of combining old

and new styles to delight her guests. Two

perfectly different flatbread examples

include the Chorizo with Serrano,

marinara, five Italian cheeses and basil, or

the Banh Mi, with sesame pork meatballs,

pickled carrots and daikon, jalapeno,

cucumber, cilantro and sriracha aioli.

The Frisee Salad was a study in freshness

and artistic technique, boasting a

poached egg as its centerpiece, effortlessly

suspended atop tender lettuce and dressed

in a warm bacon vinaigrette with truffled

goat cheese toast as its base. This salad

pairs nicely with the Moules (Mussels) in

a red curry broth, that not only boast a

nice texture and color, but lend a subtle

sweetness and spicy bite.

My standards were set high for the Boeuf

Bourguignon, a dish many cooks cannot

master successfully. Humphus captures

the true essence of this traditional dish

that is comprised of a rich and velvety

gravy with slow-cooked and fork tender

chunks of beef and al dente vegetables,

including baby carrots, mushrooms,

pearl onions, and fingerling potatoes. Just

when I thought it couldn’t get any better,

Humphus unremittingly shows off her

exotic mystique with a juicy-to-the-bone

Chicken Fricassee balanced with tarragon

dumplings, seasonal vegetables and

champagne mustard seed.

Humphus makes a sumptuous ending to

the meal with the Ménage a Trois, which

is not only delicious, but impressive to

behold. Three complimentary desserts are

strategically placed side-by-side, leading to

a treasured journey into sugar land. The

homemade Peanut Brittle is subtly sweet

and studded with salty peanuts, and unlike

your run of the mill store bought brand,

it is not overly crunchy and offers more

of a soft, cookie-like consistency. The

Kahlua Pot de Crème is superbly silky,

complimented with an amber caramel

sauce and topped with miniature fluffy

marshmallows. And finally, the pecan

praline cheesecake adds a rich and velvety

texture to its partners on the plate –

definitely all too easy to lap up!

Using sustainable, local, and organic ingredients, Humphus sources most of her products from Specialty Produce...

Commissioned by North Coast Repertory Theatre, this world premiere drama, set in 1890s Cuba, introduces a family coping with the changing landscape of its country as it struggles for independence.
