]]>By the Numbers
$3M – Amount needed in order to reopen the California Tower to the public in 2015
1911 – California State Legislature authorized the use of the park for an exposition, as well as ratified the decision to name it Balboa Park
25 cents – Admission paid by anyone who wanted to watch the construction
1 million – Number of plants John Morley was hired to put into the ground of the canyons (another 50,000 were on the Exposition grounds)
$1,937,445 – Amount spent erecting the buildings for the Exposition
42,486 – Spectators at the December 31, 1914 concert, opening ceremonies, and fireworks (about equivalent to the then-population of San Diego)
San Diego’s City Park was founded in 1868. But as late as 1909, only about 100 of the 1,400 acres had been landscaped. That year, the president of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, G. Aubrey Davidson, had the idea of using the park to host a celebration for the opening of the Panama Canal, which was slated for January 1, 1915. San Diego would be the first U.S. port north of the canal, and city leaders wanted to take advantage of their geographic position to boost the economy and help develop the park.
New York architect Bertram Goodhue chose a Spanish Colonial Revival style for the 1915 Panama–California Exposition. Officials liked that it would distinguish SD’s event from the San Francisco Panama–Pacific Exposition, which would have a “Beaux Arts” look.
Park commissioners gave it the name “Balboa Park” after Vasco Núñez de Balboa, a European explorer who first saw the Pacific in 1513. As the Panama Canal would connect the Atlantic to the Pacific, the moniker was a good association for the park and the planned fair.
The 2015 Centennial, which kicks off this month, refers not to the 100th anniversary of the park, but rather the recognition of an entire century since the Exposition, and of enjoying the park’s architecture as we know it today.

1960 – Los Angeles Chargers founded (moved to SD the next year)
1967 – First year the Chargers played at Qualcomm Stadium (then San Diego Stadium)
71,500 – Seating capacity of Qualcomm Stadium
1990 – Year the Charger Girls were formed
28 – Charger Girls in current squad
2,500 – Number of nonprofits the Chargers supported in SD County last year
Back in the Sixties, Charger cheerleaders were just local high school groups, rotating around the field at Balboa Stadium during home games. But by the time this photograph was taken, the Chargettes were a full-fledged squad performing at San Diego Stadium. The photo above shows the 4 p.m. game on November 13, 1977. The team, which included quarterback James Harris, running back Bo Matthews, and kicker—and La Jolla High School alum—Rolf Benirschke, played its best against the Denver Broncos (even though the Broncos won, 17–14).
The Chargettes’ pleated skirts were short, but compared to today’s midriff-baring uniforms, they were relatively modest. (We love the neckerchiefs!)
The year after this photo was taken, the squad would be disbanded, in part because a few of the women had posed for Playboy. But those Chargers’ girls would be back—with visions of the Super Bowl.

$500 – Initial cost of an aviation course at the Curtiss School of Aviation.
1917 – North Island commissioned as a Naval Air Station.
16 aviation world records broken in 1923 by Lts. Lowell H. Smith and John P. Richter, thanks to the new refueling system.
1963 – North Island Station granted recognition as the “Birthplace of Naval Aviation” by the House Armed Services Committee.
23 aviation squadrons currently located at North Island.
317K jobs in San Diego as a result of defense spending
San Diego, the “Birthplace of Naval Aviation,” has much to celebrate during National Aviation History Month this November. When flight enthusiast Glenn Curtiss came to California from New York for a flying exhibition in 1910, he discovered the long, flat, sandy beaches of North Island were ideal for landing planes. Curtiss opened the Curtiss School of Aviation in 1911. Among the first to enlist was Lt. Theodore Ellyson.
Just three years later, the government bought the land to create Naval Air Station. In Curtiss’ spirit, the North Island base continued to advance flight research. In the picture above, Lts. Lowell H. Smith and John P. Richter achieve the first successful midair refueling while flying over North Island on June 27, 1923. Other impressive aviation feats launched from North Island include the first seaplane flight and the first nonstop transcontinental flight.
Today Naval Air Station North Island is homeport to aircraft carriers and squadrons, advancing aircraft practice and providing thousands of jobs. (The two carriers alone will pump $1 billion into the economy this year. Cha-ching!)

“Physicians of Exceptional Excellence”
The San Diego County Medical Society (SDCMS), working collaboratively with San Diego Magazine for a decade, has continued and will continue to evolve our process for identifying those board-certified physicians within the county who are held in highest regard by their peers.
In 2014, we improved the process to ensure that all modes of practice were fairly represented in the selection.
Even so, measures of quality in healthcare are complex, varying by user and by intent. San Diego County’s physicians and patients alike understand that no process for identifying our communities’ many “top doctors”—however carefully constructed—will be without its limitations.
Our voting process, which has always been and will remain transparent, is the following: any board-certified physician in San Diego may vote for any board-certified doctors who practice within San Diego County to whom they would refer their patients and family members. Voting is open to all physicians, not just members of the Medical Society.
In 2014, more than 1,300 physicians voted with a selection rate of 7.4 percent. Each selectee was then reviewed by SDCMS to confirm his or her board certification, Medical Board of California standing, and current practice status.
This year’s process resulted in 732 physicians being honored by their peers.
This list, however, should be used with caution as a guide in choosing a physician for yourself. This list is by no means complete—most physicians are excellent and highly trained, and this was only one process to recognize a few of them. The best choice of a physician for a given person includes personal factors and intangibles that are best discussed with your doctor when a referral is made. Nurses and other healthcare professionals can also add insight into selecting a physician who best suits your individual needs.
Top Doctors 2014
J. Steven Poceta, MD
None of this should detract, however, from the recognition that those on this list fully deserve. These individuals have been identified by their peers as physicians to whom they would entrust the care of their own family members and patients. Among these honorees, 41 have been recognized by their peers in nine of the past 12 years, 47 have been recognized 10 of the past 12 years, 22 have been recognized 11 of the past 12 years, and seven have been recognized in all 12 years. There is no greater compliment one can receive from one’s colleagues!
We encourage all San Diego County physicians to participate in their county and state medical societies as we work toward the SDCMS vision—”Physicians United for a Healthy San Diego.”
Congratulations to all the doctors honored!

1960 – Scripps becomes a department within UC San Diego
1,492 employees (professors, researchers, and more), plus 629 volunteers
3 Nobel Prize winners
$189 million in research expenditures (fiscal year 2012–2013)
4 research vessels
2015 – Scripps’ new Navy-owned research vessel, Sally Ride, will be delivered
Before sky-high real estate and UC San Diego took over the hills north of La Jolla Cove, there was science. A little marine biological lab known as the George H. Scripps Memorial Marine Biological Laboratory, designed by renowned architect Irving Gill, was completed in 1910 near what is now a paved La Jolla Shores Drive. (E.W. Scripps, who purchased the land, had to build a road just to get there.) The building was the first permanent marine science facility of the Marine Biological Association of San Diego, the nation’s first oceanographic institute, founded by Ellen Browning Scripps, E.W. Scripps, and other community leaders in 1903.
After becoming part of the University of California in 1912, the organization was renamed Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1925. A decade later, it was responsible for the country’s first curriculum in oceanography. During World War II, its scientific studies of surf enabled successfully timed landings on Normandy, and identified a crackling sound made by a snapping shrimp, which helped the Navy detect submarines. They could also mimic the sound and hide their own subs.
Today, the original lab is referred to as the Old Scripps Building and remains the oldest building on the UC San Diego campus.

1971 – Renamed San Diego State University
9 Researchers at SDSU’s Center of Surf Research
77,959 for Fall 2014 admission, a new record

College president Edward L. Hardy had a vision. With increased enrollment at what was then known as San Diego State Teachers College, the original campus location could not accommodate the growing student body. Hardy imagined the new campus should be an expression of both learning and architecture. In February 1931, the college moved into the seven mission-style buildings of the present San Diego State University campus.
As the second man to hold the position, Hardy completed a 25-year tenure, during which the campus name changed twice. In 1923, it evolved from its original name of the San Diego Normal School to San Diego State Teachers College. Again in 1935, the California State legislature authorized the expansion of degree programs and removed the word “Teachers” from the title, making it San Diego State College. Having helped the college gain recognition and respect, Hardy retired in June 1935.
