latest update September 2, 2010

09/02 ... Burning the candle at both ends can have potentially disastrous results if one does not pay close attention to ones actions.  more>>

08/29 ... I did not select the headline for the article I wrote about the lack of review of the venting ducts on the wall of the Plaza.  more>>

08/29 ...  I find it ironic that the City claims to have "green goals" (as Waste Management put it in their letter) yet appears to have deregulated trash collection.  more>>

08/28 ...  Why is such a massive vent required for hamburger cooking?  more>>

08/28 ...  I am very unhappy that the council has decided to OK the closing of a city “Land Mark”!   more>>

08/16 ...  I applaud you for your emphasis on "revitalization" and the DRB's role.  I especially appreciate your survey ...  more>>

07/15  The November elections can be a very pivotal election for Del Martians.  The city is running on financial fumes and there ARE solutions to make our city more fiscally sound.  ...  more>>

by Zoey ZoBell

Herb Turner: A Del Mar Original
Sam Borgese

Editor's note:  This piece is longer than what appeared in the print edition.

Herb Turner was a highly accomplished person in a community of notably accomplished people.  For me he defined the description as a genuine "human being." Gene Schwartz, past Del Mar resident, professional publisher  and writer for over 20 years of various local news papers, described it best in his notice of Herb's death to friends in Del Mar:

Del Mar Shores Cinema Series Debuts  with 189 South

The highly anticipated 1st Annual Del Mar Shores Cinema Series kicks off September 25 with the critically acclaimed adventure film, 180 South, Conquerors of the Useless. The 16-mm, high-definition film follows the re-creation of an epic surf, sailing and mountain climbing journey from Ventura to Chilean Patagonia with Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins, the founders of Patagonia and North Face, respectively.

The Friends of Del Mar Parks family event, the first of many to be scheduled in the coming years, celebrates the rich connection of the Del Mar community with the preservation of open spaces for future generations, and features films that emphasize a message of social or environmental responsibility. With support from the Del Mar Foundation, Dexter’s Deli, and Weatherly Asset Management, the event will also feature live acoustic blues performances, a “Lick” Garden” with treats for the family dog, a craft beer garden and children’s “jumpies.” The event is free to attend, and food and beverages will be available for sale.

All family activities kick-off at 5 p.m. on Saturdaym Sept. 25th, with the main attraction starting at twilight.

Bye, Y’all 
Take Back the Beach Party
