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!

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.”

blending the hues of earth and air, the St.

Regis Pr incevi l le is s imply incomparable.

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.

AUTHENTICALLy

hawai’ iTaking up residence along the North Shore – settled between the bounty

of Hanalei Bay and Kauai’s rugged coastal slopes, the St. Regis Princeville

Resort celebrates the natural beauty and luxury of an island getaway.

An extravagant claim for a resort , Chr is White

of the St. Regis Pr incevi l le, stands by i t . “S i tt ing

where the resort s i ts , the location cannot be

dupl icated,” he says pass ionately. Between

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

s ingular beauty, White descr ibes the property

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 s [actual ly] the birthplace of the Hula.” And

i t does not get more authentical ly Hawai ian

than that.

And so i t i s that the total i ty of St . Regis

Pr incevi l le Resort speaks exquis i tely to the

blending of St . Regis’s incomparable service to

Kauai’s cultural express ion. Al l 51 suites receive

“It’s l ike having your own personal concierge,”

says White. “They handle anything from

unpacking service to arranging tee t imes for

golf .”

Addit ional ly, guests take pleasure in the weekly

Mai lani Dinner hosted at sunset, shar ing the best

of Kauai’s culture. With an int imate gather ing

of 80, guests “celebrate the end of the day

and the coming of evening with a toast as the

sun goes down,” notes White. I t i s a profoundly

Hawai ian r i tual , steeped in meaning, t radit ion,

and reverence.

“There’s more going on here than just a hotel

too,” White adds. “The Makai Golf Club s i ts on

this unbel ievable piece of ground; i t ’s an awe-

inspir ing location.” Indeed it i s , as golfers play

on the state-of-the-art tur f with vistas revealed

in such sharpness, i t i s imposs ible to not be

inspired and forever changed. The beauty, the

culture, service, and activ i t ies fuel White’s f inal

thought: “every day I dr ive to work is a humbl ing

experience; i t ’s an amazing place, al l of i t .”

By Machel Penn Shull

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
