RH Dana third-grade teacher Lori Georgia said that she’s excited to start the new school year and watch the Spanish dual immersion language program continue to grow. “The dual immersion language program has moved up from kinder, first, second, and now it’s up another grade level with third grade,” Georgia said. Third-grade Spanish teacher Maria Arbelo added that she is “excited to see our students grow emotionally, form lifelong friendships and a love of learning.”

The special anniversary prices, which will run from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3, are the Wind & Sea’s way of saying thanks to its loyal patrons who return year after year, Mardian said. “Who knew that 50 years later, I’d still be at the helm of Wind & Sea?” said Mardian in a recent media release. “These 50 years have been incredible to watch the restaurant grow, build relationships in our community and serve people the best food, day in and day out.”

Surviving 50 years in the restaurant business—an exceptionally tough business, Mardian said—required exceptional vigilance, consistency, and loyal return ing“Youcustomers.haveto be ever-present and always mindful of what’s going on, what’s coming in the front door and what’s going out the back door,” Mardian told the Dana Point Times last week. “You have to keep up the same energy levels as I did in Multiple1972.”

TOP NEWS DANA POINT SHOULD KNOW THIS WEEK

The start of the 2022-23 school year on Tuesday, Aug. 16, marked a hopeful return to normalcy for many families and teachers at RH Dana Elementary School. Students entering the campus were welcomed with a sign saying “Bienvenidos Whales,” as well as music and bubbles. As families gathered at RH Dana for the first day of the school’s morning assembly, parents and teachers alike voiced their excitement for the coming school year and anticipated growth for elementary students. “I think this school is growing every single year; we get new families, you get new students and then at the end of the year, it’s always how the kids blossom,” said Jonathan Antonio, a first-grade paraeducator. “That’s always what I look forward to: end results.” “Thrilled to be back; summer is exciting, great, but it’s always nice to be back with the kids,” Antonio continued. Third-graders Aiden and Landon Radomski are looking forward to math and recess, their mother, Lindsay Radomski, said.“I’m very excited to get the kids back and to watch our school grow,” Radomski said. “Our school, our community, our staff is all growing; it’s a beautiful space for all of our kids, and we’re going to keep moving forward.”

As the RH Dana community continues to grow, RH Dana Principal Kristen Nelson noted that she is also excited for the dual language immersion and environmental science programs to expand this year. “We are looking forward to continuing to grow as a school,” Nelson said, adding: “We will focus on our marine biology and environmental science component more this year.” “New and former families continue to volunteer and support us in so many ways,” Nelson continued.“So, looking forward to this school continuing to grow and thrive.”

If your customers believe in that consistency and that operation, they’ll comeLookingback.”toward the future, Mardian noted that he’s worried about how construction during the Harbor Revitalization will affect his customers. “Wind & Sea has been perennially, by far, the busiest restaurant in the harbor and has remained so to this day,” Mardian said. “So, we’re looking forward to the new harbor. We’re weary and concerned about how we’ll survive during the construction period.” Mardian opened Wind & Sea in the Dana Point Harbor on Aug. 22, 1972, and has run the restaurant to this day, opening several other restaurants in Dana Point and Hawaii. To celebrate the date of the 50th anniversary, the Wind & Sea on Monday, Aug. 22, will host a private event; however, the restaurant will be open to the public after 5 p.m. “Our guests make every day special, and our employees are the backbone of our operation,” Mardian said. “My mission has been to treat every one of our employees like a member of my family. This business has always been very personal to me, and I appreciate our employees and our guests more than I can say. Thank you for an amazing 50 years.”

She’s looking forDana BREEANA GREENBERG ward to the normality with the pandemic simmering down, she said. “I’m just excited that the kids get to enjoy a normal school year,” Garcia said. Barbara Borkowski, whose daughter is entering second grade at RH Dana, echoed Garcia’s sentiments. “I’m glad that we’ve figured it out and everyone can stay healthy and have a normal school year,” Borkowski said. “We love RH Dana, we love the community, we love that we get to have our daughters learn a different language, we love the teachers and principal.”

The indoor school mask mandate for California was lifted in April of this year—marking a shift from the previous school year, when students and educators were required to wear masks indoors while on campus. However, masks are still recommended under CUSD’s COVID-19 safety plan for the current school year. Other CUSD safety guidelines include encouraging families to screen children, requiring staff to self-screen, posting signage reminding students to wash their hands, and schools frequently cleaning surfaces.

Gabbard has worked in home building for 26 years and served as an enlisted Ma rine and Combat Engineering Officer. In Gabbard’s candidate statement, he vowed to be the city’s “fiscal conservative, tax payer and budget watchdog,” and support “prudent, managed development and traffic programs that favor our residents.” Federico’s hopes for a reelection to the City Council are all but certain, as he, too, is the only candidate qualified to run for his seat in District 3. Federico, who served as Dana Point’s mayor in 2021, was first elected to office in 2018. Looking toward his likely second term in office, Federico wrote in his candidate statement that he plans to invest in infrastructure improvements, improve public safety and city services, and rewrite the city’s General Plan. “When reelected, I will continue working with you and my fellow councilmembers to find long-lasting solutions to our city’s most challenging issues,” Federico wrote in his candidate statement.Pagano,the chief financial officer for Pan-Pacific Mechanical, qualified for a ballot placement for the District 2 seat on Aug. 10.

Dana Point’s municipal code currently prohibits cannabis businesses from operating in the city. Santa Ana, Costa Mesa and Stanton are the only cities faculty’s flexibility and resilience over the past few years. “For the past three years, even despite COVID disruptions of learning and growing together as a staff, I’m really proud of our faculty and staff here because during the last three years, they have collectively rebuilt a mission vision with values and goals and they’re all aligned to really what we come down to, which is connect and inspire every Dolphin every day,” Baker said. “Not only do we want to create a mission, but we want to live it, and that’s what we’re doing,” Baker continued.“Dana is in a good place; our morale is high, and our teachers are ready and willing, as they always are, to go the extra mile to ensure our students are successful.”

A measure to legalize cannabis retail in Dana Point will not be on the ballot this November. The citizen initiative proposing to allow up to three cannabis businesses to operate within the city failed to meet the Aug. 12 deadline to qualify for the upcoming election.

In his candidate statement, Pagano pointed to three goals for the position: maintaining quality of life, being fiscally responsible and supporting local law enforcement.“Icommitto rational and pragmatic problem-solving for residents of District 2,” Pagano wrote in his candidate statement. “I commit to listening to you with an open mind. I commit to leading District 2 with integrity and for the benefit of all our citizens.” CUSD is also changing air filters on a regular basis and providing “adequate” air flow, according to its safety plan. Social distancing and vaccinations are not currently mandated. At Dana Hills High School, COVID protocols mainly apply to staff, Principal Brad Baker explained. “For staff, we’re following Cal/OSHA, along with CDPH, so we’ll continue to do that through the district’s guidance,” BakerNelsonsaid.added that staff at RH Dana will be encouraging students to wash their hands frequently. “Yes, we will still be careful in many ways,” Nelson said. “Students will be asked to wash hands, stay home when sick, and voluntarily test when exposed to a COVID-positive person.”

This is also the first year that middle schools and high schools will experience a later bell schedule because of State Senate Bill 328. The later start time is aimed to give students a chance to get more sleep, with classes at Dana Hills starting at 8:30 a.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and later on Mondays for teacher collaboration, Baker explained. Baker added that he’s proud of the South Orange County artists Chris Justice of Dana Point and Andrew Myers of Laguna Beach will host an art show at the interactive art studio and gallery space in Del Prado on Saturday, Aug. 20. From 6-9 p.m., the artists are inviting the Dana Point community to join them for an evening of art and cocktails that Casazul Tequila is sponsoring. The art show will feature new pieces from Justice and Myers. Myers specializes in Screw Art, drilling thousands of screws at different depths, using the screw heads as a canvas to create images. Justice, known for his abstract paintings and American flag series, is an artist in residence at the Prado West Development. Guests can RSVP for the event, located at 24471 Del Prado Ave., Suite B, Dana Point, by visiting Myers’ website andrewmyersart.com/rsvp-2022.at

Dana Hills High will host a parent and community night on Sept. 1 at 6 p.m. led by the Dolphin Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the school’s students, to share a new vision for the school. “Some exciting releases, what we have planned for the next two years; some new partnerships, pathways, some academic improvement and unique offerings that will hopefully tie into some partnerships with our harbor and our ocean, coastal area occupations, so we’re really excited about that,” Baker said.

The city filing identified a Dayne Andrea Keating as the applicant for the petition. Attempts to contact the applicant had been unsuccessful as of press time on Thursday. To qualify for the upcoming General Election, the petition had to have been submitted with signatures from 10% of registered voters and verified by the Orange County Registrar of Voters before Aug. 12.

am hyperaware of people’s food choices. That being said, I am concerned only with my own plate during my meals, planning for all sce narios, especially when away from home. When I am dining with others, though, it seems that they become “more” aware of their food choices, often expressing concern, and even shame, with what they might order or put on their plates. I try to assure them that I am not here to judge anyone. I know the food chaos that exists in most people’s lives is not their fault, as we are victims of our environments, but that doesn’t mean you can’t choose to calm the chaos. Fact is, our lives today are tumultuous.

Do you have a yearly physical, is your bloodwork current, and are you up to date on your mammogram, colonosco py, and prostate screening, just to name a few?Iwill acknowledge that these things are easier to adhere to, as they happen with less frequency. When it comes to nutrition, making food choices never ends and can require much effort.

tunately, the City Council has approved a Rule 20 project in Dana Point, the first in over 20 years. This will be to underground the powerlines along Stone Hill, from Golden Lantern to Palo Alto. At the urging of P.A.L. (the Poles and Lines Coalition) and others, Congressman Mike Levin has worked to make federal funds available from the recent biparti san infrastructure act so that the city will have enough money to pay for this work. Supervisor Bartlett’s larger point, though, still holds, which is to ask, “How much longer do we have to wait, and how much more devastation, death and destruction do taxpayers have to endure, before serious action is taken to underground power lines?” That question should be put to the power companies, like Edison, PG&E and SDG&E, who enjoy a complete monopoly within their service areas. They must bear some responsibility for the problem. It is time for them to become proactive and begin the process before being forced to.

lishes the old 1980s action-horror classic four decades later. In the greater wilderness of 1700s pre-Amer ica, Naru (Amber Midthunder) is a female member of the Comanche tribe who wants to hunt and fight with the men instead of work domestically. Her older brother, Taabe (Dakota Beavers), already has the strength and skill she longs for, and thinks she’s in over her head. When the bigger animals in the forest start getting brutally killed, Naru senses something unusual is lurking in the tribe’s territory. Prey has been getting lots of praise for cleverly reinventing the Predator franchise, as well as putting the spotlight on Native American characters as film leads. It makes sense the first prequel in the series would be set in historic Native years, as John McTiernan’s original Predator (1987), and most of the sequels, take place in the jungle, among natural surroundings. The few complaints I’ve seen of Prey didn’t actually bother me. One is that everyone in the movie speaks English, when obviously they would be speaking Comanche. Because the characters are speaking English anyway, I don’t mind the dialogue and characters sounding somewhat modern, because this is ultimately a fictional fantasy with contempo rary(Andactors.forthose who did enjoy Prey enough to watch it again already, there actually is a Coman che-dubbed version also featured on Hulu.)

Another criticism I’ve seen is about the heavy CG effects during the action scenes. Naru’s canine companion, Sarii, is played by a real dog for its screentime, but all the big, wild animals are CG-animated. I’m fine with mixing both practical effects and computer graphics, and I have to agree with the filmmakers that it’s probably easier for both humans and animals to just artifi cially create huge grizzly bears and wolves, rather than train them. All in all, Prey does the simple, basic task of giving audiences quality popcorn entertain ment without any fluff. Midthunder, Beavers and Trachtenberg, who also directed the refreshingly subversive 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016), are impressive, and I’m excited to see what all three of them do next.

As far back as I can remember, my two boys wanted a dog. I held out until my sons were a freshman and senior in high school. I know, it makes no sense. Maybe, I hoped a dog would entice my older son to leave his college dorm and return home to visit his furry utteredsimplyarose,ofwhenThroughfriend.theyearsthesubjectadoptingadogmyhusbandsaid,“No.”Thisresponsebyaman who had never owned a dog—ever. The closest he came was his childhood pet lizard on a leash (that’s another story). Determined to find our dog, my sons and I snuck out to several shelters. We settled on a Lab-mix who stole our hearts with her beautiful big brown eyes. My sons named her Lilikoi (Lili) Cujo. At the shelter, we were warned that Lili had been abused.

The following morning, as I stood in the kitchen, I saw Lili digging in the backyard. At first, I was relieved and thought she was marking her spot. But, upon second glance, I realized she was on a mission like an escapee from Alcatraz. I ran into the backyard just as she ducked her head under the iron fencing and pulled her back into our yard. I learned that morning she is persistent; it’s perhaps her most marked trait. On Day 3, Lili made her great escape and vanished. My husband, who didn’t want the dog, searched more than anyone, spending hours and days in the hills behind our home. After three weeks of February’s freezing temperatures and hailstorms, my husband suggested we donate her dog food; I reluctantly agreed. Hours later, Animal Control called; they’d found Lili burrowed in the hillside behind our house. Overjoyed, I raced to bring her home, but she didn’t share my enthusiasm. Her return lasted one night. The dogged fugitive disappeared again the next day. Dejected, we realized she was likely gone for good. The next morning, my older son opened the garage door, and there on the driveway sat the escapist. SUMMERDAYSDOGOF | Life’s a Beach by Shelley Murphy

head, she would duck or run. We weren’t deterred; instead, we were determined to love her and gain her trust. On Jan. 31, 2012, they finally got their dog. My boys knew they weren’t getting a basketball prodigy like Air Bud, but they hoped for something between an athletic pup and a leashed lizard. The day of Lili’s homecoming, we realized we’d underestimated our challenge and our dog. As we drove from the shelter, Lili began shaking like a leaf. Arriving home, she bolted from the car, ran into the street and hid underneath a nearby parked car. My younger son’s friend, in a white T-shirt, shimmied on his stomach under the car and rescued her. We tried consoling her that day and night, but our united efforts failed.

In the evenings, Lili waits for the sound of my husband’s car, then races toward it with Air Bud’s agility. Adopting a dog is a major responsibility—just ask my husband. But it also delivers great rewards; their bond of loyalty, companionship, and affection is unbreakable. Turns out, you can teach old dogs new tricks.

O to embrace adulthood. Have open discussions with college-bound teens about their fears, expectations, and anxieties. Listen without judgment or comment, give them space to process their feelings, and ask them what they need from you. If they are open to it, brainstorm solutions to their concerns and help them find resources that they may not have thought of previously. For example, many new college students might not know how helpful it can be to get to know your professors during office hours or how to access campus resources such as mental health counseling or academic workshops. Though the summer beach days and late movie nights are over for now, this academic year is a great opportunity for your teen to conquer challenges and develop new skills. Transitions can be very challenging for any teen, but with proper support, positive encouragement, and appropriate guidance, you will likely be amazed at how your teen has transformed during this academic year.

avoid screen time right before bed. It can also be challenging for teens to juggle the demands of school, extracurriculars, and jobs. Parents should try to validate these challenges, while helping them develop tools for managing these demands.Someteens might find it helpful to plan and stay ahead with a wall calendar or personal planner, where they can mark the dates of their exams, important assignments, and any other commitments they may have.

alking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell is not exactly what you would expect if you based your opinion of the book on just the title. In fact, Gladwell digs much deeper. This book is not at all about talking to people you encounter every day, but are strangers. This is not a selfhelp book for the introverted or shy. Rather, Gladwell points out how we misread people all the time and then wind up blaming the other person for any misunderstanding.Thebook is divided into five parts: Spies and Diplomats; Default to Truth; Transparency; Lessons; and Coupling.InSpies and Diplomats, Gladwell shows how Fidel Castro had a double agent working for him, but at the same time, duping the United States. Later in the same section, Gladwell discusses how Neville Chamberlain completely misread Adolf Hitler’s intentions, while Anthony Eden and Winston Churchill saw right through Hitler.Part two was by far the most fascinating part, as the author goes into the psychology of how most people default to the truth when dealing with strangers. However, he does present us with the Holy Fool. This is the person who ranges from not trusting anyone to building a bunker in the basement because the government cannot be trusted.Infact, Gladwell’s example is exactly the bunker-building, fully armed, and Kevlar-protected person. His name is Harry Markopolos, and he was the first—and for a long time, one of the very few—who caught onto Bernie Madoff and his pyramid scheme. Unfortunately, no one believed that Madoff was a scammer until the damage was done. Gladwell also takes apart the Amanda Knox case in Italy, and the Jerry Sandusky case, as well as torturing terrorists, which almost always fails. This book was a Seaside Book Group choice at the Dana Point Library. While the group was split on the book, I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend this fascinating book, especially because Gladwell did his research and has numerous references and citations to back up his points.

The Seaside Book Group meets on the fourth Monday of every month at the Dana Point Library. For more information, please call 949.496.5517.

Planning out their semester can also give teens the opportunity to say “no” to other activities if their schedules are beginning to fill. Helping teens organize their schedules builds important skills in time management, boundaries, and workload expectations.

We can ease the discomfort by helping them establish a consistent and organized homework and schoolday preparation routine. It is good to establish a quiet, distraction-free workspace, and to encourage a consistent homework time. Help avoid rushed mornings by choosing school clothes and packing backpacks and extracurricular equipment the night before.Asyour teen becomes more structured and organized, be sure to praise and encourage them for successful efforts and improvements.

The second season of the Tony Henney era for the Dana Hills High football program kicks off on Friday, Aug. 19, and with the program on an upward trend, the Dolphins look to start out on the right foot once again. Dana Hills has won its past three season openers after previously not having won an opener since 2013. The Dolphins will attempt to make it four in a row when they welcome University to Dana Hills on Friday. Dana Hills comes off a record-breaking and historic season, during which numerous offensive passing marks were set by a high-octane offense to reach the CIF-SS playoffs for the first time since that aforementioned 2013 season. The Dolphins have replaced plenty of For in-game updates, news and more for all of the Dana Hills High School sports programs, follow us on Twitter @SouthOCSports and on Instagram @South_OC_Sports

Dana Hills football opens the season on Friday at home against University. The Dolphins have won their previous three season openers. Photo: Keaton Larson graduation-vacated spots on that offense, and University provides a great opportunity for Dana Hills to show what those players can do. Dana Hills dominated University on the road last season, 43-0. That game kicked off a string of four consecutive shutouts over University, as the Trojans lost the final seven games by a combined score of 308-27. University does return seven players on offense, but the Trojans are inexperienced along the line of scrimmage—an area of targeted improvement from Dana Hills over the offseason. University will provide one wrinkle to test the Dolphins with dual-threat junior quarterback Koa Saito. The Dolphins are likely to focus on the ground game early, as they try to establish themselves as a physical presence this season. The offensive and defensive lines spent the offseason pushing hard in the weight room, and University presents the first opposition on which to test that new strength and attempt to open holes for senior running back Christian Guarascio.

AUG. 14 • 13 boats, 333 anglers: 156 dorado, 4 bluefin tuna, 2 yellowtail, 42 calico bass, 5 sand bass, 2 whitefish, 2 sheephead, 1 bonito, 1 barracuda, 1 sculpin, 218 bass released.

efinitely a fun week here for us on a lot of different fronts. Local bass action on the half-day scene was still a bit slow despite some better conditions and pretty good water temperatures. The water was 68-71 degrees along the coast. Most of the bass we caught were on the fly-lined sardines and cut bait. Artificial lures fished well this week, too.

BY ZACH CAVANAGH, DANA POINT TIMES DOLPHIN REPORT

There were some nice fish caught off the bottom, as well. On Saturday, Aug. 13, the Reel Fun had a 33-pound halibut on their afternoon half-day trip. It was caught on a dropper loop rig with a live sardine.

The three-quarter-day trips have been mixing in some time off the beach fishing kelp paddies for dorado and then folding in the bass action in the afternoon, when the conditions have set up better. The success has pretty much mirrored the half-day trips, and anglers are having to work at it a bit to get the bites.The best opportunities this week had to be in the offshore scene. Offshore boats had great dorado fishing for the all-day trips. It was classic kelp paddy-type of fishing. Fly-lined sardines fished the best. There was some nice yellowtail as well to go along with the dorado. Boats were seeing some good spots of bluefin, too. Our 6-Pac fleet was catching that fish well on the troll and a few fish on the kite and flyer. The big news here was that we added a new boat to the fleet. The boat is called the New San Mateo, replacing the San Mateo. The boat is a beautiful, factory-built 1977 50-foot Delta/Delta. It is set up very well for our fishery. The boat has side-scan Sonar, nice electronics, a 2-ton refrigerated saltwater fish hold and a speedy 15-18-knot cruise speed. The boat is ready for charter. The New San Mateo ran its first trip on Saturday, Aug. 13. Captain Mike Hansen ran the boat. Forty dorado and five yellowtail hit the boat’s deck on its first trip as part of the Dana Wharf fleet. We’re super excited to have this boat in service and running charters. Check it out on our Instagram page @fishdanawharf. Here are the latest fish counts from Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching: AUG. 16 • 7 boats, 112 anglers: 147 dorado, 5 yellowtail, 23 calico bass, 12 sand bass, 7 sheephead, 3 sculpin, 305 bass released.

Football Opens Season Against University on Friday

Girls Volleyball Loses Tight Opener, Hosts Santa Margarita It was a tough opening night for the Dana Hills girls volleyball team, but the Dolphins showed promise for the season ahead.Dana Hills dropped a five-set thriller at Laguna Beach on Monday, Aug. 15, at Laguna Beach High School. The Breakers took the first set in strong fashion, 25-15, but the Dolphins battled back to take the next two sets, 25-19 and 15-17. Laguna Beach evened the match in the fourth set, 25-17, to set up the decisive fifth set, in which the Breakers defended their home court by a thin margin, 15-13. Laguna Beach has beaten Dana Hills in three straight five-set matches, and the Breakers have won six of the past eight against the Dolphins dating back to 2015.

With deep roots in the Dana Point area, in 1946, Harrison met and married Cecelia Yorba, a descendant from a California Spanish land grant family. They lived in her 18th-century adobe house in San Juan Capistrano, less than a mile inland from Doheny. The family continues to own and live in the home to this day. Harrison died of a heart attack in 1993 while driving home with his wife after a morning swim in Hawaii. “He was part of the lore and legend of surfing,” Steve Pezman, co-founder of The Surfer’s Journal, explained in Harrison’s 1993 Los Angeles Times obituary. “And Lor rin was a major player in the culture in those naive days when California wasn’t carpeted with subdivisions.”

T GROMS OF THE WEEK

Born in Garden Grove in 1913, Harrison first started surfing in 1925. The boards of choice during this era were largely self-made, 130-pound redwood planks. Undaunted, Harrison cut his teeth on the waves at Corona del Mar. A decade later, he became the first person to surf San Onofre. In 1932, Harrison decided it was time to make a pilgrimage to Hawaii, so he stowed away on a cruise ship bound for Waikiki, though he was caught before he could set foot on Hawaiian soil and sent back to the Remarkablymainland.persistent, less than 24 hours later, he once again stowed away on a boat. And once again, he was caught. But this time, he was allowed to stay in the Islands. The experience was transformative.

The annual Whitey Harrison Canoe Classic started in Newport Beach, before being included in the Dana Point Harbor opening ceremonies in 1971.

Paddlers take to the water for the 50th Whitey Harrison Canoe Classic on Saturday, Aug. 13. Photo: Alan Gibby

BY JAKE HOWARD, DANA POINT TIMES ast weekend, the annual Whitey Harrison Canoe Classic celebrated 50 years of racing and good times. Hosted by the Dana Outrigger Canoe Club, this bit of living, breathing, pad dling history is a 20-mile, 9-person outrigger canoe race that kicks off just outside the Dana Point Harbor before heading north to Laguna Beach. The boats turn around at Main Beach in Laguna before heading for the finish line at Doheny Beach. And while the race was subject to a bit of a fog delay on Saturday morning, Aug. 13, once the paddlers hit the water, it was on. With the men’s, women’s and coed divisions loaded with talent from all over the paddling world, and Harrison’s extend ed family on hand to soak in the celebra tion, it was a beautiful day on the water. Named after Lorrin “Whitey” Harrison, the race is dedicated to the man’s memory and legacy. Considered one of the earliest pioneers of California surf and beach cul ture, Harrison’s impact up and down the coast of California cannot be understated. “(Pete) Peterson and (Whitey) Harrison
