dear Readers,
with the racing season upon us and summer holidays in full bloom, we
celebrate with you the lifestyle and luxury that is Southern California in July.
the season often extends family vacations of trotting the globe and exploring
the natural wonders of the world that surround us; which of course, makes
for a welcomed home coming.
Seaside racing – 72 years in the making – promises big bets and unforgettable
ponies; jump ahead to page 40 to see why it’s a personal favorite. we invite
you to join us in del Mar on July 20 for opening day at the racetracks – an
event marked not only for its fashion and hats, but as a “bucket-list” kind-of
experience not to be missed.
in fact, our entire July issue is inspired by the races, centered on the “turf
and Surf” theme. Join us this month as we sample del Mar dining and design,
summer fashions and trends, as well as a Hawaiian getaway to the north
shore. it’s no wonder why San diego continues to rank among the world’s
leading summertime destinations.
new this month, download your own copy of Fine Magazine on your iPad!
Easy and free, take Fine out and about with a simple touch of the screen!
Enjoy!

of sal ivat ing excitement for a hopeful long

s ince 1937, when crosby greeted the f i rst

lured many a celebr i ty, dignitar ies, horsemen

“…and awa-a-ay they go” – the s ignature

according to craig fravel, del Mar
thoroughbred club (dMtc) general manager,
“the ‘Win and you’re in’ races that make up

leading tracks in the country. checking the
l i s t of top tracks and the number of chal lenge
races ass igned to each, i t reads l ike this :
saratoga (5), Keeneland, santa anita fal l
meet, del Mar (6) and belmont fal l meet (8).
the breeders cup has spread the wealth in this
regard and del Mar has gotten i ts fai r share.”
in regards to the future of the horse racing
industry in cal i fornia, Joe Harper, ceO of
dMtc, offers this special ins ight: “for our meet
this summer at del Mar, we’ve inst i tuted a
program where we’re going to reward owners
for going out and gett ing racehorses f rom other
jur isdict ions and br inging them to cal i fornia to
run.”
With the quest ion of a viable industry on
everyone’s mind regarding the del Mar
fairgrounds master plan, Harper responded,
“cal i fornia horse racing is in a most chal lenging
— and most interest ing — t ime. Master plan
or no master plan, del Mar and horse racing
wi l l carry on in san diego. you can count on
i t . We’ve got a special spot here with our
gorgeous location on the beach and we’ve
got the ideal summer racing dates.”
Most racing fans are unaware that west coast
racing is an is land by i tsel f f rom the east coast.
“the racing states in the east are bunched
together and there is a lot more interaction
among them and their horses. i t ’s a long way
out to cal i fornia for most folks, so anything
we do is usual ly self -contained,” notes Harper.
“We’re going to give direct economic rewards
to cal i fornia owners, or owners f rom out of
state, who br ing their horses here to our t rack
to take part in our seven-week meeting. We’ve
got a whole industry that looks forward to
escaping the gr ind and the smog in los angeles
and heading south to let their col lect ive hair
down. del Mar stands on i ts own. i t’s a good
thing and we work hard every year to make our
good thing better.”

S i tuated on Kauai’s North Shore, the
252-room, 51-suite property is greater than the
sum of i ts parts. In combination with the 2009
refurbished St. Regis brand’s sophist icat ion
and the Hanalei Bay’s breathtaking locale,
the two icons are fused into one, creating a
luxury resort unl ike any other. With a 300 foot
promontory, the towering cl i f fs of “Bal i Hai” –
also known as Mt. Makana, and the celebrated
expanse of a Pacif ic sunset, the visual display
is “ l i fe-changing,” to say the least.

An extravagant claim for a resort , Chr is White

the iconic St. Regis exclus ive brand and Kauai’s

as creating a marr iage. “We’ve taken the best
sophist icat ion of Manhattan and joined i t with
the roots of the Hawai ian culture on Kauai,
celebrat ing both of them.” Pausing br ief ly, he
adds, “Most people may not know that Kauai

i t does not get more authentical ly Hawai ian
than that.

M ost individuals dream of retir ing at
the age of 60 to 65. However, there
are some enthusiastic vis ionaries
that continue their dreaming and work ethic
later in l i fe with the abil ity of changing the
future and the l ives of those around them.
Carlsbad entrepreneur Ted Vallas fal ls into
the vis ionary category, affecting the l ives of
not only those he knows, but future travelers
in San Diego as well.
In 2012, San Diegans and other neighboring
residents wil l soon have the opportunity of
f lying out of Carlsbad’s McClellan-Palomar
Airport, with even a weekend direct f l ight to
Cabo San Lucas. With only 3 percent of this
airport’s use being employed for commercial
aviation, this wil l increase residents’ choices
Mcclellan-Palomar Airport to offer commercial flight destinations
including Sacramento, San Jose, Oakland, Las vegas, Phoenix and
cabo San Lucas. Kansas city, Missouri. Salt Lake city and Houston are
also scheduled for future availability.
FINE sd . c o m L iFeStyLe | LUXURy | L iv inG 65
and conveniences in air l ine travel and private
aviation.
Originally chosen to replace the Del Mar
airport in 1959, McClellan-Palomar Airport is
one of busiest s ingle runways in the U.S., with
approximately 200,000 annual operations
– according to Loudairport.com. Currently,
McClellan-Palomar Airport is mainly uti l ized for
privately funded aviation, including general
aviation and fl ight school opportunit ies open
to the public. Many private jet companies
capital ize on the airport’s excellent location,
including the well know Schubach Aviation
Company.
But thanks to Ted Vallas and his vis ionary force
in the aviation world, local residents
that cannot afford to charter a f l ight
wil l now have the option of – at the end
of 2011 – f lying to various commercial
destinations out of Carlsbad. California
Pacif ic Air l ines intends to add six
routes, which include Sacramento, San
Jose, Oakland, Las Vegas, Phoenix and
Cabo San Lucas.
McClellan-Palomar Airport’s General Manager,
Wil l ie Vasquez sees this expansion as a posit ive
one for local residents. “In terms of commercial
aviation, it wil l put some good use to our
terminal. Right now we only have one to Los
Angeles. This wil l give North County residents
the opportunity to f ly to more destinations,
EX
CLU
SIVE
including Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Those fl ights
wil l be offered starting only on the weekends.”
Vasquez also explained that the airport has
been receiving quite a few calls with interest in
when this wil l be happening, asking “Are they
ready to go, yet?”
Within f ive years, California Pacif ic Air l ines’
plan is to expand these destinations to at
least 10 cit ies that wil l reach into the Midwest
area, including Kansas City, Missouri, Salt
Lake City and Houston – offering residents the
luxury of access to more destinations and the
convenience of a closer airport. According to
CPA, “The new California Pacif ic Air l ines is the
long-held dream of North County entrepreneur,
Ted Vallas, who began his business
career in the 1950s.”
For some of us, dreaming is merely
a thought or a fantasy. But for Ted
Vallas and the Carlsbad community,
dreaming can be the expansion of a
vis ion soon to be realized not only by
Mr. Vallas, but for travelers f lying to
Cabo from North County on a sunny
Saturday morning without the hectic commute
through downtown San Diego or even across
the border. Apparently convient, air travel just
reached new heights. u

THE NEED
More than 300,000 acres of coastal
promontor ies and wetlands have been
preserved along the Cal i fornia coast
to-date; roughly def ining 469 mi les of the 840
spanning the Pacif ic. However, 90 percent of
al l coastal wetlands are forever gone, and only
3.5 percent of the coast has been deemed
as protected reserves; f rom LA to San Diego,
only 25 percent (approx. 15,000 acres) of the
histor ic coastal wetlands present ly remain.
Nonetheless, s ignif icant st r ides for natural
ecological processes have progressed within
the last 50 years; a culmination of efforts
result ing in the continued survival and
comeback of coastal habitat – as nature
intended. The Sur fr ider Foundation alone
has celebrated 150 documented victor ies
nat ionwide between 2006 and 2010 – 33
percent of which occurred in Cal i fornia; these
mi lestones range from coastal preservat ion
and beach access, to water qual i ty and a r ise
above plast ics.
According to the Foundation, “An
environmental v ictory is a decis ion made in
favor of the coastal and ocean environment
that results in a posit ive conservat ion outcome,
improves coastal access, or both.”
THE PLANSur fr ider act ively supports 30 campaigns in
Cal i fornia alone (72 nat ionwide), as ide from
its four main programs: A Rise Above Plast ics,
The Blue Water Task Force, Know Your H2O and
Ocean Fr iendly Gardens. Local act iv ism has
seen such efforts as:
• Unti l a new ordinance is devised, the
Solana Beach chapter was successful in a
Protecting Oceans, Waves and Beaches Since 1984
At their very core, the Surfrider Foundation advocates for coastal preservation. The vision began with three local surfers in Southern California, and has since grown to include more than 100 chapters in 15 countries worldwide.

temporary ban on the construct ion of new
seawal ls , which would have contr ibuted
to addit ional loss of beach along the
adjoining coast l ine.
• “Save Trest les” stopped a proposed tol l
road that would have destroyed the state
park and damaged the sur f .
• New offshore oi l dr i l l ing has been stopped in
the continental U.S. for the next seven years.
In relat ion to this , “Hands Across the Sand”
recently held i ts global in i t iat ive protest ing
new offshore dr i l l ing. In championing clean
energy solut ions for U.S. independence on
foreign oi l , the event was a visual message
of human sol idar i ty to our nat ion’s leaders.
A RISE ABOVE PLASTICSIn an effort to further educate the publ ic
about the harms of plast ic, the Rise Above
Plast ics (RAP) campaign – or iginat ing in San
Diego, the Foundation’s f lagship chapter –
act ively engages local decis ion makers in
pursuing a ban on both s ingle-use shopping
bags and polystyrene takeout containers; not
to mention a reduction on plast ic bott le usage
across the board.
“Central to our campaign is an attempt to
k i l l the demand for non-necessary plast ics at
the source, by encouraging the development
and use of ‘alternat ives’ and reduction of
packaging,” notes the Foundation. “We aim
to transcend the knee-jerk acceptance of
s ingle-use plast ic bott les or ubiquitous plast ic
shopping bags when better robust, reusable
and sustainable options exist .”
The campaign recently created a “Day Without

effort to t imely alert sur fers, beachgoers, and off icials

Just last year, Heal the Bay issued an al l -encompassing
