THE LATEST: Doheny State Beach made the Beach Bummer list again, earning a No. 7 ranking this year on the not-so-flat-tering ranking by nonprofit Heal the Bay.

It’s the fourth time in five years Doheny placed on the top 10 list of the state’s most polluted beaches although the Dana Point beach improved from last year, moving from the sixth worst beach to seventh.

The only other beach in Orange County to make the annual ranking was Poche Beach in San Clemente. Both Doheny and Poche displayed the only poor water qual-ity grades of “F” in the county during the 2011 summer dry weather time period, the report says.

The report cited the results of a 2007-2008 study, published in a January 2012 article, that suggested an increased risk of swimming-associated gastrointestinal illness at Doheny.

“Doheny State Beach’s largest source of contamination is urban runoff from the San

Juan Creek, though this creek does not flow to the ocean year-round,” the report says.

WHAT’S NEXT: In 2010, Doheny State Beach was part of a pilot project to rap-idly test water samples and release the

THE LATEST: Southern California Edison engineers are testing whether a sensor on emergency diesel generators at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station could trip and shutdown the back-up power in the event of an earthquake.

Plant owner SCE submitted a report to the Nuclear Regulator Commission this month explaining that it was unclear whether the vibration sensor, which is designed to shut down the diesel generators during excessive vibration — an indicator of mechanical woes, would also trip if vibration from a temblor were to occur.

“Because the condition has not yet been thoroughly evaluated, it is considered a potential ‘unanalyzed condition,’” the utility company said in a statement. “SCE engi-neers are continuing to analyze the condi-tion and have not reached a final conclu-sion if the sensor would actually cause a shutdown during an earthquake.”

Both units at the power plant south of San Clemente have been off line since January. SCE shut down Unit 2 January 9 for service, and Unit 3 was taken off line January 31 af-ter a radiation leak was detected in a steam generator tube.

WHAT’S NEXT: The sensors have been deactivated and all contingency emergency response actions that ensure the diesel generators operate after an earthquake are still in place, the statement says.

THE LATEST: The Dana Point Veterans of Foreign War Post 9934 officially opened the doors to their home office at City Hall May 24.

The ribbon cutting and open house drew nearly 70 people for the outdoor ceremony.

The opening comes as the VFW begins providing monthly veterans assistance with benefits and answering questions about membership. On the second Tuesday of the month, VFW members will host hours at the Dana Point Community Center from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Members of the VFW and their auxiliary also meet the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.

THE LATEST: Dana Point’s 23,322 regis-tered voters will head to the polls Tuesday, June 5 — if they haven’t already submitted their mail-in ballots — to take part in the state primary.

Voters will decide their party candidate for a host of offices, including president, congressional and other area offices.

Two statewide ballot measures will also be considered. Measure 28 proposes re-ducing the time office holders in the state legislature can serve from 14 years to 12 years. Measure 29 imposes a $1 per pack tax on cigarettes and increases on other tobacco products.

In Orange County, voters will weigh in on Measure A, which seeks to make the county’s public administrator posi-tion appointed rather than publicly

sembly Bill 1589 would limit the number of parks closed from 2012 to 2016 to no more than 25 and requires that the state Parks Department find an alternative to a park’s closure and inform the public of their reasoning before ever doing so. The bill could additionally raise more funds through revenue sharing between parks and would also allow individuals to receive tax deductions if they donate more than the cost of an annual park pass. “People come to south Orange County for the sun, sand and breathtaking views that our parks offer,” said bill author State Assem-blywoman Diane Harkey of the 73rd As-sembly District, home to three state parks: Doheny State Beach, San Clemente State Beach and San Onofre State Beach.

Researchers worked with nonprofits to disseminate the informa-tion via social media and other methods. The success of the pilot project helped to influence Los Angeles to conduct a similar program at eight beach locations in 2011. More technical studies are expected in summer 2012 and 2013.

A Return to its Core

emorial Day has become the unof-ficial start of the summer season, and it was ushered in on Monday

by the familiar sounds and smells of backyard barbecues and get-togethers. But in Dana Point, summer is additionally signaled in by the sight of pristine boats, sails and throngs of people lining the Harbor.

The 12th Annual Dana Point Harbor Boat Show began on Thursday, May 31 and will run until Sunday, June 3. The four-day event features more than 150 in-water and on-land exhibitors, showcasing luxury yachts and other vessels, as well as marine-related activities and products.

There are more than 12 million reg-istered recreational watercrafts in the country, according to 2011 data compiled by the Department of Homeland Secu-rity, U.S. Coast Guard and the Office of Auxiliary and Boating Safety. California’s 855,243 registered vessels are the second most behind Florida. Orange County has three harbors along its 42-mile coastline. Of the three, Dana Point is the smallest: Newport Harbor and Sunset Harbour in Huntington Beach boast over 9,000 and 3,000 boats, respectively. Meanwhile, Dana Point Harbor’s two marinas feature approximately 2,400 boat slipways.

All visitors to the boat show, from the most die-hard of boating enthusiasts to casual observers, can purchase or climb aboard nearly 70 different boats docked in the nearby channel, according to a listing on the show’s website, as well as several more on land. Yachts, sailboats, electric boats and powerboats are just some of the vessels that will be featured at the show.

And it’s not just about boats either. Visitors can take in demonstrations in the on-land exhibition and check out the newest kayaks, paddleboards and, a local favorite, stand up paddleboards.

“Dana Point Harbor has become world-renowned and the epicenter of the paddle-board sport,” said Brian Dunn, general manager of the show’s presenter, Vintage Marina Partners.

To the north, Newport Harbor’s own four-day boat show featured more than 200 yachts and boats in April, but accord-ing to Dana Point’s boat show organizers, who call their event “the biggest little boat show in the west,” the local flair is what makes their show special.

While other in-water boat shows may cater to larger crowds or take place in large convention centers, the Dana Point show’s charm comes from its ability to

By Brian Park Dana Point Times

12th Annual Dana Point Boat Show all about the boat

draw visitors in from all over the South-land, yet still remain a local affair that’s become a summertime tradition.

“In our opinion, boat shows should be a local event rather than something that goes on in a convention center,” Dunn said. “We have a great relationship with the city, and the boat show is part of the fabric of events.”

This year’s installment marks a return of sorts to the show’s earlier days. Last year, event organizers pushed the start date back a week to coincide with National Marina Day, instead of its usual schedule during Memorial Day week.

The show has also done away with the Green Expo this year in an effort to shift the focus back onto boating. The Green Expo became a part of the show in 2010 and was created to raise awareness and promote environmental and conserva-tion issues in and around the ocean.

“We just wanted to go back to the core of boating and just return to the reason why we started the boat show,” said Chris Leininger, marketing manager for Red Willow Group, the show’s marketing company. “It was part of a larger discus-sion with all the show organizers whose

goal has always been to support the local boating industry.”

Organizers felt that after two years, the principles emphasized by the Green Expo were well-ingrained into the show. Although the Green Expo is no longer associated in name, the idea of environ-mental stewardship will still be evident in the show, as well as other future events throughout the city. On-site recycling bins will be available, and the show will use recyclable products and water and energy conservation practices however possible.

“We’ve really integrated the whole green emphasis into our company, in part-nership with the county, the Harbor and the city of Dana Point,” said Dunn. “I’m sure you’ll be hearing a lot more of what the city of Dana Point will be doing, and I think we’ll be seeing a stand-alone event.”

Planning for the show began last fall. In addition to reaching out to sponsors, vendors and exhibitors, organizers had to coordinate with the Dana Point Harbor Department to ensure the Harbor’s on-land facilities and channels could accom-modate the boats and large crowds.

“It definitely is a long planning pro-cess,” Leininger said.

Even in the few days leading up to the event, organizers were scrambling to ensure all exhibitors were accounted for and that the Harbor was prepared to take on the heavy boat and visitor traffic.

“I know they’re expanding the docks down there,” Dunn said in an interview this week. “The last-minute shuffle, mak-ing sure everything comes out just right. That’s the way these things work. A lot of boats are sold, and things are kind of in flux for a show like this.”

The show has drawn as many as 10,000 visitors in the past, and that re-mains the goal for this year’s showcase, according to Leininger.

“We’ve gotten a pretty big response. A couple hundred tickets have been pur-chased, and we’re excited about that, and we still have more to go,” Leininger said.

On Friday, June 1, the show will be open from noon until 7 p.m., and visitors can purchase tickets, hot dogs, sodas and beers for only $1 each. Regular admission tickets cost $12 for adults and are free for children under 12 who are accompanied by a paid adult. However, on Saturday and Sunday, visitors can save $5 on tickets if they purchase them through the show’s website. Saturday’s show goes from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the final show on Sunday will go from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Free parking is available, as well as shuttle service, every 10 minutes, from Doheny State Beach and Dana West Marina.

Letters to the EditorKUDOS TO DANA POINT

KATHLEEN BROUGHAM, Dana PointI’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to

the city’s Director of Public Works Brad Fowler and the city engineer for taking this matter (of the crosswalk) seriously and their quick response (DP Times, May 17). I am truly impressed with the speed in the construction effort to move the crosswalk. This intersection is much safer now. Thank you very much.

FUNDS FOR STATUE BETTER SUITED TO HOMELESS

SHER FULLER, Dana PointRegarding a Doris Walker statue, it’s

another $40,000 of taxpayer money down the drain. I knew Doris, and we spoke many times about the homeless in our city. It upset her seeing people in need ignored. Instead of another $40,000 statue, I’m sure she would have been ecstatic knowing that something was being done for the homeless in her name. That would have made her rest in peace. There are so many things that can be done for folks down and out, like setting up a one-day temporary clinic, perhaps in the Plaza or one of our beautiful parks, where the homeless could go for health checks, dental checks, hair cuts, collect donated clothes and toiletries. We see them scattered all over town. Sin-gularly most folks feel they can’t do much, but if we all came together for just one day we could help everyone and in the process make Doris smile again.

How about it, Dana Point? Instead of ignoring the homeless, how about we give them a hand? It could be made an annual event, The Doris Walker Helping Hands Day. It would also ensure that Doris is re-membered annually, not just by a $40,000 statue in a park that not everyone sees of-ten. It would also show that our city cares about our homeless population and does not just pretend that they don’t exist. It would shine a positive light on a progres-sive caring Dana Point. Talk about positive

press. Doris would have preferred this option. That’s just who she was and still can be every year if we really want to give tribute to a wonderful woman. The words, “What would Jesus do?” come to mind.

APOLOGIES IN ORDER

REV. PAUL LACHLAN PECK, Capistrano BeachIt is a saddening thing to read about a

group of senior citizens who have devoted so much of their retirement energies to do-ing such a marvelous service to the com-munity, only to be summarily discounted and dismissed by an elected Friends of the Library president. What a horrible thing to do to so many wonderful women.

I am a life member of the Friends of the Library and have only great thoughts and memories of my browsing in the book-store and bringing home a stash of reading material. The chairman would do well to ponder a poem that I love to read, espe-cially the fi rst verse, which I share:

“Speak gently, it is better farTo rule by love than fear;Speak gently, let no harsh word marThe good we may do here.” — David BatesWe often, in the heat of a moment,

forget that those whom we chastise have worked hard and long to attain a place in life where they could give back so beauti-fully—as in a library setting devoted to the public interests.

These ladies deserve a well-earned apology from him who chastised and fi red them. It was not merited.

BOOKSTORE WOES EASILY FIXED

LUCIE LOWERY, Aliso Viejo As a life member of Friends of the Dana

Point Library, my comment on the unfor-tunate tangle highlighted in your cover story of last week is that it can easily be unsnarled. Just as countries cannot pros-per under a dictator, neither can a small volunteer organization. It is time for a free election of offi cers. A single individual, no

matter how dedicated, should not take on the responsibility of selecting the presi-dent, especially an individual who has not been vetted.

The so-named president has proven to be an erratic and disrupting infl uence, alienating and actually “fi ring” volunteers who have been operating the book store adjacent to the library for years and providing many thousands of dollars to the library for publications and children’s programs.

I take only one exception to your excel-lent article: The volunteers are not all older ladies; there are gentlemen volun-teers also, and younger ladies as well. Thank you for letting the sunshine in at the venerable Dana Point Library Book Store.

BOOKSTORE VOLUNTEERS A SPECIAL PART OF COMMUNITY

CATHY CLARK, past Ways and Means chairmanI was sorry and dismayed to read about

the problems involving the Friends of the Library. I started the book sales when we moved to Dana Point from Sierra Madre, where I was the chairman of the book sale. We actually started used book fundraising in the small library downtown in what is now the dentist and chiropractic offi ces before the present building was built.

After three years and with no perma-nent bookstore in sight, I resigned and started working as a temporary library clerk in the Orange County Library system. I have watched the Friends and the book sales grow through the years. The Friends group pushed through to a real bookstore, and, with the hard work of

many faithful volunteers and leaders like June Bauer, it has been able to raise much money for our Dana Point Library. These funds have been a tremendous help by adding dollars to stretch tight budgets for many programs.

These extras include special books and magazines and speakers such as horti-culturists, artists and authors. There are also the highly successful and much-loved summer reading and children’s programs presented by retired librarian Carolyn Hopkins. These have all added to a good library experience for our patrons and have helped promote the joy of reading for our young people.

It is my hope that these present problems will be settled soon and that the memories of the good things accom-plished in the past will supersede them. I also hope that the Book Store and its wonderful crew of volunteers can get back to what they do best: giving their time and efforts to making our library and its Friends group a special part of the com-munity of Dana Point as they have always done most successfully.

The City of Dana Point Community Services and Parks Department has organized the sum-mer Movies in the Park series since 2009.

“We aim to provide quality community events for Dana Point,” Recreation Supervisor Sherry Murphy said. This one has really grown since the first year we did it.”

Last year, about 1,000 local residents attended each movie showing, she said.“It’s a nice, fun family event. Every age group loves it, from kids to seniors,” said Murphy.Attendees can park in one of two parking lots or on Park Lantern. Valet parking at Laguna Cliffs Marriot Resort will be

SPORTS SPOTLIGHT

At the end of each high school sea-son, coaches suggest their picks for the most valuable player of their respective league. Usually it is just one standout athlete who gets the honor, but this year, sophomore Christian Hessenauer and junior Bryce Yould from the Dana Hills boys volleyball team took home the South Coast League Co-MVP title.

Hessenauer, who plays the opposite position, and Yould, a middle blocker, both helped the Dolphins make their push into the playoffs earlier this month and were the offensive focal points of a team that went 30-5 overall (8-0 league) en route to their third

consecutive South Coast League title. “They’re a really good one-two

punch,” coach Oz Simmons said. “When Bryce is in the middle and we’re passing well, we’re getting the

ball to him…If we aren’t passing well, we go to Christian on the opposite, where we can score off digs in transi-tion.”

The Yould-Hessenauer duo saved their best for the playoffs, combining for 38 kills in their second round vic-tory over Newport Harbor.

“That’s how it is—we push each other,” Yould said. “Against (Newport Harbor) we both played great. A few weeks earlier (against San Clemente) I wasn’t having the best game, but he stepped up. We’re both really com-petitive and we both click real well.” —Steve Breazeale

DOLPHIN DYNAMIC DUO EARN MVP NODS

Dana Point Table Tennis Club Booms

ne by one, people enter the gym at the Dana Point Community Center. It’s the day before Memo-rial Day, and not many are expected to show up

because of the holiday. But in they come, dozens of them, with their gym bags, workout shoes and paddles.

Those milling around talk about what part of their game they’ve been working on. Forehands, backhands and spin seem to be the popular subjects.

And then the noise starts. The squeak of a sneaker, the metronomic click, click, click of a little round, plastic ball.

Those fi ling in are here for table tennis, or as most of us know it—ping pong.

Under the tutelage of former U.S. National Men’s Single Champion Atilla Malek, dozens fi ll the Community Center gym every Sunday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. to learn the game and have fun.

The 20 or so members of the Dana Point Table Tennis Club who attended Sunday had a special place for their paddles, which were coveted like prized possessions that never left the hand, bag or back pocket of the one it belonged to.

Each session begins with a warm up, where the paddles are removed from their secure means of travel and put to good use. The old play against the young, the novice play against seasoned players.

From there, Malek gives guidance, splitting the group up into two sections.

“The members show up and they like to have some sort of structure, so I tell them where to play,” Malek said of the club’s serious but not so serious nature. “First things fi rst: people are here to have fun. So I provide a sort of semi-structured workout that keeps them busy and involved.”

When looking over his career accolades, it’s safe to say Malek, 59, knows a thing or two about the sport.

Born and raised in Hungary, Malek was already a fi xture on the European table tennis circuit before he and his wife moved to the U.S. in 1978. Since then he has represented the U.S Men’s table tennis team in ’83, won national titles in the Over 30 and Over 40 divisions and earned the 1980 U.S. Open Team champion, to go along with his ’78 Men’s Singles title.

In the back corner of the gym, Malek, ever the watch-ful eye, conducts his personal training sessions for those

wishing to improve their game. A futuristic-looking machine is strapped to one side of a table spits out perfect serves to the player on the opposite side, allowing Malek to stand in the middle and critique the players’ form. His eyes dart back and forth as he examines every aspect of a player’s motion.

“I can teach people in two minutes what they couldn’t

learn in 20 years. But once I show them how easy it is, they start to get better and have more fun,” Malek said.

Outside of Malek’s corner of the gym, there are battles taking place; the most interesting one is between 14-year-old Cole Riel and 80-year-old Ken Dewhirst, both of Laguna Niguel.

Riel plays with the youthful energy you would expect from him. He jumps into the air, throws his right arm up to maximize spin and fi nishes his move with an authorita-tive stomp of his right foot.

On the other side of the net, the tall, bespectacled Dewhirst looks unassuming but moves around with the fl uidity of a man half his age. His upper body never seems to get off balance as he glides from one side of the table to the other, keeping up with the youngster.

Dewhirst, who is attempting to qualify for the U.S Open Senior Division, was released from the hospital only three months ago but can’t stand staying indoors for very long, according to his wife and No. 1 fan, Rosemarie Dewhirst, who sits in the stands to watch the action.

The club has grown since its inception back in March and now boasts about 30 regular members with new ones coming in every Sunday, according to Malek, and the club plans to host its fi rst tournament in July. The Dana Point Open Table Tennis Tournament will feature experienced and recreation level competition, so everyone can partici-pate. Another tournament, which will feature more skilled players, is being planned for September.

Malek welcomes all levels of players to come and join in the activities. A three-month club membership costs $59. If you want to learn from Malek himself, you can take part in his individual lessons, which cost $25 for each two-hour session.

SCOOP ON THE LOCAL SURF COMMUNITYDP SURF

6DPDana Point

Age: 11, Marblehead ElementaryRyan Martin started surfing at the age of 7 but really got into it at about age 9. Since then, he has been honing his skills, and this season marked his first time completing a full competition series. And for a first-timer, Ryan had a remarkably successful year with a No. 7 ranking in the National Scholastic Surfing Association Explorer Super Grom division. In NSSA Open competition, Ryan surfed his way to a fourth-place finish at the West Coast Open Championships, which took place May 17-20 in Huntington Beach, with a No. 8 ranking in the Mini Grom division. He has now turned his full attention to practicing for the upcoming NSSA Nationals com-petition, focusing special effort toward making his hits more vertical and landing airs more consistently. He is dedicating three to four hours every day to practice—

weather and conditions permitting. When not in the water, Ryan enjoys skateboarding and hanging out with his friends. In school he is a mostly-“A” student whose favorite subject is math. He will attend Shorecliffs Middle School next year and will try out for the surf team. Ryan credits his parents for much of his success this year. “My dad gives me great advice as my coach. My mom takes me to the beach every day and gives me a pep talk before every heat,” he said. “Having my parents on the beach cheering me on makes me happy and confident that I can do it.”—Andrea Swayne

GROM OF THE WEEK Ryan Martin

Hobie Innovates

By Andrea SwayneDana Point Times

hen it comes to surfing heritage, few have made such lasting and long-term contributions to the

culture and industry like Hobie Alter and company. From innovative surfboard design to the invention of the Hobie Cat catamaran and an enduring sports retail chain, a new exhibit at the Surfing Heritage Foundation celebrates all things Hobie.

Barry Haun, foundation curator and creative director, has brought together an interesting and historically significant exhibit titled “The Innovations of Hobie,” on display through July 15 at the Surfing Heritage Museum, 110 Calle Iglesia in San Clemente.

Haun said he was honored to curate such an important exhibition with which to introduce the new Croul Family Foun-dation Gallery.

“Hobie has contributed so much to the whole culture of modern surfing—and mostly out of his own desire to just have fun. As Hobie put it, ‘I like designing stuff,

Haun also hopes the show will encour-age the foundation’s current audience to support their work, create excitement for what they have planned for the future and inspire new visitors to the museum.
