Moonlight Amphitheatre–Broadway’s Best Under the Stars We’re giving away tickets!

SPAMALOT, June 11–28 Spamalot is an outrageously goofy musical with an upbeat score and clever lyrics, lovingly ripped off from the classic cult comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Audiences everywhere are eating up Spamalot which tells the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table on their quest for the Holy Grail in the irreverent signature style of Monty Python.

Flying cows, killer rabbits, taunting Frenchmen and show-stopping musical numbers add up to one of the greatest and funniest Broadway musicals of the modern age! The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and received 14 Tony Award nominations. This Moonlight premiere will feature the original Broadway sets and costumes. Rated PG. THE MIDTOWN MEN, July 5, 8:00 P.M. In concert and a one-night performance–the four stars of the original cast of Broadway’s Jersey Boys! See and hear the best hits of the sixties in an unforgettable concert experience!

MARY POPPINS, July 16 – Aug 2 Yes, Mary Poppins is flying into Vista and onto the Moonlight stage! The cherished Disney film has been reimagined into a spectacular new musical with a book by Downton Abbey’s Julian Fellowes.

Featuring all of the unforgettable songs of the movie

plus brand-new breathtaking musical numbers and spectacular effects, Mary Poppins takes both children and adults alike on a magical musical adventure where “anything can happen if you let it.” Mary Poppins is everything you could ever want in a hit Broadway show and has amassed more than 40 theatre awards from around the globe. Rated PG. MY FAIR LADY, Aug 13–30 Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle have been vying for our hearts–and each other’s– since 1956 when this musical debuted on Broadway. My Fair Lady is the triumphant standard by which all other musicals are measured. Based on Shaw’s play and Pascal’s movie Pygmalion, with book, music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, My Fair Lady is the winner of multiple Tony Awards. The show blooms with witty comedy and characters in this tale of Eliza Doolittle’s transformation from street vendor to high society lady. With some of the best musical theatre songs ever, it’s no wonder everyone falls in love with Eliza. Rated PG. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, Sept 10–27 Based on the hit DreamWorks film and the incredible true story that inspired it, Catch Me If You Can is the high-flying, splashy new Broadway musical that tells the story of Frank W. Abagnale, Jr., a teenager who runs away from home in search of the glamor-

ous life. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer–living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. But when Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Carl chases Frank to the end... and finds something he never expected. This delightfully entertaining musical has been created by a Tony Awardwinning “dream team,” with a book by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and a swinging score by Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman (Hairspray). Rated PG. The Moonlight Amphitheatre is located just minutes away in nearby Brengle Terrace Park in Vista. For ticket information, call (760) 724-2110, or visit www.moonlightstage.com.

The Desire to reach hearts is wise.” These are the words and ambitions that Touching Hearts Across Nations set forth for the charity event that is proudly presented by Show Your Talent and takes place at Morgan Run Club and Resort, in Rancho Santa Fe, Friday, June 27, at 5:00 PM.

to the Billboard Hot 100 between 1962 and 1998.

It seems only natural that Dionne Warwick, U.S. Ambassador for the Hunger Project that helps feed the world’s impoverished children, will be performing at a fundraiser devoted to raising awareness of the international charity organization Ignite, Dehli India, as well as a San Diego-based charity, Promises2Kids, that supports foster children.

Hudson, the creator of the new reality TV talent show pilot called Show Your Talent, collaborated with Genis to open their talent show at Spreckles Theatre in San Diego, after which they will take it on tour to Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, New York, and other cities. Auditions are already in progress. The show takes viewers and performers to a new

2014 San Diego County Fair–Here Comes the Fun! Win Free tickets! June 7 – July 6 “The Fab Fair” is the theme for this year’s 2014 San Diego County Fair and will kick off the summer with a tribute to the British Invasion phenomenon that began 50 years ago in 1964. The British Invasion refers to the Beatles “Fab Four,” and other musical acts and aspects of British culture that became popular during this period of time. “Give Peace a Chance,” is an exhibition that commemorates John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s historic “bed-in” for peace. The exhibition features photography by Gerry Deiter, the only photographer who was present in their hotel room for all eight days of the bed-in.

The Fair will have more than 100 food vendors serving everything from deep-fried Oreos to some healthier

“The Fab Fair” is the Theme and Main Exhibit of 2014 San Diego County Fair “The Fab Fair” Exhibit Hall (located near the front entrance gate) presents two photographic exhibits never before seen in California. When the four lads from Liverpool first visited the United States in back in1964, the British Invasion was sparked. The amazing photographic exhibit “The Beatles! Backstage and Behind the Scenes” opens the CBS Television archives with more than 80 never before published photos from that era.

LIFE Magazine photographer, Bill Eppridge, captured The Beatles first U.S. performance on the Ed Sullivan Show–as well as the month-long tour that followed–as the Fab Four visited 20 U.S. cities, including San Diego.

The photographic exhibit “Give Peace a Chance” commemorates John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s historic “bedin” for peace which lasted May 26 through June 2, 1969 in Suite 1742 of Montreal’s Queen Elizabeth Hotel. LIFE’s Gerry Deiter was the only photographer present in their hotel room for all eight days of the bed-in. Never before had a celebrity been so available in person and by telephone to the public, and through his photography he captured intimate moments intended to break down barriers between power, celebrity, status and convention with a desire to end war and violence in the world.

In 2010, 15 states and 22 countries participated in the festival. In 2011, Pizza Port of Solana Beach won Best of Show for its Poor Man’s IPA Beer entered in the Specialty Beer Class. That was the third year in a row that Pizza Port took top honors. Last year, Eagle Rock, the threeyear old Los Angeles craft brewery, entered their Equinox Sour Ale and was crowned Best In Show at a competition that saw nearly 1,000 entries from over 190 breweries across the globe. Also in 2013, The Champion Brewery Award was bestowed on the brewery location with the most cumulative points based on awards. San Diego’s own The Lost Abbey was crowned Champion Brewery for winning six total medals.

The judging for this competition is serious business.

may be entered only once. If the same beer is produced at multiple locations, only one location may enter the brand.

Each entry must meet the TTB definition of beer, mead or cider and must possess the general characteristics of beer, mead or cider and conform to the general trade understanding of beer, mead or cider.

No judge may participate on a panel where he or she has an entry or where there may be the appearance of a conflict of interest. Beers served at the San Diego International Beer Festival will be provided by the breweries that participated in the competition. Beer Festival Tickets are $58 and VIP Brewers Lounge are $100.

North County Restaurant North County Reviews Restaurant Reviews Tip Top Meats

John Haedrich, master butcher, owner and creator of Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad, has not only created the finest Butcher Shop, European Delicatessen and Gourmet Market in North County, but throughout San Diego. Affectionately called “Big John’ he has given back 100fold to his community, residents, places of worship, schools, Camp Pendleton Marine families, community organizations and San Diego County. Andy Lee, Publisher of the North County Sun, says, “John is one of those amazing people that cross our paths once in a lifetime.

I look up to him, and admire him and his achievements. He is a hard working, kind, and giving man with a big heart and people who know him, love him and respect him.”

Tip Top is a one-of-a-kind butcher shop, a gourmet European-style delicatessen and a full service European marketplace. Nobody in San Diego County comes close to the service and value that Tip Top

provides. Tip Top has been providing the highest quality meat and poultry for North County residents since 1967 and now the best just got better! Tip Top now serves Certified Angus Beef, which is the best quality there is. The Big John Breakfast and the Big John Burger are also two of the best deals in town. When you think about meat, go see Big John!

Stock up for summer barbecues and 4th of July with USDA Choice and Prime Cuts for a wonderful celebration with your family and friends. Tip Top Meats will be open on Father’s Day and 4th of July.

Pick up some Tri-Tip, New York Steaks, or Steak Kabobs. Steak Kabobs are only $6.98/lb and Baby Back Ribs are thick and meaty for only $5.98/lb. (prices subject to change) Tip Top Meats is located at 6118 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad 92011.

Bruegger’s Bagels

Bruegger’s will be open on 4th of July and Father’s Day. Try a Bruegger’s Breakfast Sandwich for the perfect way to start your day.

Their classic breakfast sandwiches combine egg and your choice of peppered bacon, ham, sausage or turkey sausage on a hot fresh bagel. We recommend their new Riviera Egg Sandwich. This delicious sandwich comes with an egg patty with brie cheese and prosciutto on a rosemary olive oil bagel. Of course, our all-time favorite is their classic Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese, stacked high on a fresh bagel with sliced tomato, red onions and capers.

In addition to their famous bagels, breakfast sandwiches and bagel sandwiches, Bruegger’s also offers a healthier “Under 500 Calorie” menu. If you are a calorie counter, try one of their Skinny Bagels.

Guests can now order any of Bruegger’s 15-plus varieties “skinny,”

due to Bruegger’s unique slicing process. Instead of changing the recipe of its time-tested, New York-style bagel, Bruegger’s slices the bagels thinner using a process that removes approximately one-third of the bagel’s center but preserves its unique eggshell crust and delicious toppings. The result is a lower calorie bagel without sacrificing variety or taste. Another healthy choice is their Skinny Zesty Egg White Sandwich. This comes with an egg white patty on a skinny sesame bagel, with turkey sausage, Swiss cheese and sundried tomato spread.

Bruegger’s operates 300 bakeries in North America with 8 bakeries in San Diego. Renowned for its award winning bagels, Bruegger’s offers a wide variety of freshly prepared breakfast and lunch options made with high quality ingredients served with its unique brand of hospitality.

We love Gregorio’s! The story of Gregorio’s Restaurant is so uplifting it’s hard to put into words. Gregorio’s owner, Greg Nelson, has done more for families and children of the Carlsbad Boys and Girls Clubs than anyone can imagine. As a young boy, Greg grew up and spent his days going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carlsbad. That experience had a profound effect on him and who he is today. From 2010 to 2012, he donated 100% of his profits from Gregorio’s Restaurant to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carlsbad.

Gregorio’s is located “upstairs” at the Village Faire in Carlsbad Village at 300 Carlsbad Village Drive, Suite 208, Carlsbad 92008. Call (760) 720-1132 or visit www.gregoriosrestaurant.com.

This summer relax and enjoy Pelly’s spacious outdoor patio just steps from Carlsbad State Beach. Sit under an umbrella on a bright sunny spring day.

Located in the Poinsettia Village Shopping Center and between Starbucks and Subway, you’ll enjoy some of the tastiest char-grilled fish in San Diego.

The food is simply amazing and their Fresh Fish Market is always stocked with your favorites and some great local catch.

Pelly’s fresh fish market and seafood restaurant offers locals and visitors the freshest fish in town. It’s fast and delicious!

Pelly’s has an excellent reputation for serving delicious fresh fish lunches and dinners, especially their char-grilled mahi-mahi, chargrilled halibut, and grilled fish tacos. If you’re in the mood for a salad, try their fresh ono salad, or Pelly’s special salad, or their stone crab salad. They also have the best fish sandwiches in San Diego and we recommend their famous Manhattan red or Boston white clam chowder. Pelly’s is not a fancy, sit down restaurant, but the quality of their freshly prepared seafood more than makes up for it. Their prices are very reasonable. Check their board for their Catch of the Day. Pelly’s offers Seafood Platters that will suit any 4th of July party or family get-together. Big sellers are their ceviche, stone crab, or bay shrimp salads.

Dry Eye Condition During Warmer and Dryer Summer Season So often we neglect taking care of our eyes and our vision.

Sometimes we don’t pay enough attention if we have dry eyes, blurred vision, or easily get eye infections. Don’t take your eyes for granted and take the time to make an appointment with someone who has an extensive background in ocular diseases and conditions. If you are looking for a caring and professional optometrist, then we recommend Dr. Kristin Peterson-Salgado of Solana Beach Family Optometry.

Dr. Kristin Peterson-Salgado graduated from the University of California, Davis in 1993 with high honors and then went on and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley School of Optometry in 1997. For fourteen years she has been practicing medically-based optometry with a focus on ocular disease, geriatrics, traditional and hard-to-fit contact lenses, diabetic exams, and Lasik or cataract surgery pre-operative exams.

Dr. Peterson-Salgado opened her private practice in Solana Beach in 2000 with a desire to continue her medically based practice while also incorporating vision exams for the entire family. Dr. Peterson-Salgado enjoys fitting all types of contact lenses, including bifocal, monovision, rigid gas permeable, and astigmatic lenses. She also has an extensive background in the treatment of dry eye conditions.

San Diego Comic-Con International 2014 July 24–27 The San Diego Comic-Con Inter­na­ tional show at the San Diego Convention Center is so gigantic, that the scene outside on the streets surrounding the Convention Center is almost as inspiring as the scene inside! Originally showcasing comic books, science fiction, fantasy, film, and television, Comic-Con International has expanded over the years to include a larger range of pop culture elements, such as horror, animation, anime, manga, cartoons, movies, TV Shows, toys, collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels.

San Diego Comic-Con International began as the Golden State Comic Book Convention and later the San Diego Comic Book Convention in 1970 by a group of San Diegans, which included Shel Dorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger and Mike Towry. Comic-Con is held at the San Diego Convention Center and is traditionally a four-day event that goes from Thursday through Sunday. A threehour preview night happens on Wednesday and is open to professionals, exhibitors, and some guests that are pre-registered for all four days. Throughout the years, Comic-Con has grown to be so enormously popular that it’s very difficult to get tickets and the Convention Center has become too small of a venue. There were over 150,000 attendees in 2013. The convention is the largest in the Americas, and fourth largest in the world after the Comiket in Japan, the Angoulême International Comics Festival in France, and the Lucca Comics and Games in Italy.

Along with panels, seminars, and workshops with comic book professionals, there are previews of upcoming feature films, portfolio review sessions with top comic book and video game companies, and evening events such as awards ceremonies and the Masquerade, a costume contest, as well as the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival, which showcases shorts and feature length movies. Traditional events include an eclectic film program, screening rooms devoted to Japanese animation, gaming, and various other programs with speakers and slide shows. ComicCon features a large floor space for exhibitors.

These include media companies such as movie studios and TV networks, as well as comic-book dealers and collectibles merchants. There’s also an autograph area, as well as the Artists’ Alley where comics artists can sign autographs and sell or do free sketches.

Oceanside Museum of Art Spitting In the Wind July 5–November 2 Spitting In the Wind is a tribute to the long-standing friendships of Richard Allen Morris, John Baldessari, Bob Matheny and Russell Baldwin and the astonishing range of artworks they made while living and working in the San Diego area. The exhibition focuses on the late 1950s and the 1960s, when these young artists frequently saw each other’s work and participated in the same exhibitions. The exhibition gathers period works from each artist and presents them together with related artifacts.

Quilt National July 26 – November 23 The Oceanside Museum of Art is proud to present its second exhibition of Quilt National. Quilt National is a biennial juried exhibition of international fiber art organized by the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, Ohio.

OMA will be exhibiting 32 of the award-winning quilts from the Dairy Barn Arts Center for this 18th biennial exhibition.

Obon Festival at Vista Buddhist Temple

Life Is Good Festival At Park Dale Lane Elem School

July 26–27, 12–8pm

June 6, 5-8pm

The heart of the Obon Festival, held at the Vista Buddhist Temple on July 26 and 27, is the colorful Japanese “Bon Odori” folk dancing. It is a time to remember and honor all those who have passed on before us. Reverend Jon Turner explains: “We gather to dance not just for our ancestors but with our ancestors. We dance the steps that have been passed down from generation to generation. In this country, what began as a festival celebrating our connectedness with our ancestors now emphasizes our interconnectedness with all people.”

The movements and gestures in each dance often depict the work of farmers, fishermen and other ordinary jobs from rural Japan and may employ fans, small towels, or wooden hand clappers. Community members are invited to jump in and participate. Come as you are – tee shirts, shorts, flip flops, or summer kimono (yukata) – and join in the dance!

The free festival encompases Japanese folk dancing, food, music and demonstrations. It’s open to the public. Japanese food is on sale until 6pm or when sold out and includes teriyaki dishes, tempura, sushi, udon, Okinawan soba noodle soup, yakisoba, somen noodle salad, won ton, Japanese desserts of manju, and mochi ice cream.

Enjoy Taiko drumming by several groups and cultural demonstrations and performances, and a silent auction of Japanese items.

Vista Buddhist Temple is located at 150-B Cedar Road, Vista, CA. 92083.

Kindergarten And Transitional Kindergarten Options 2014–2015

By Cindy Cleary-Cesena The specifics of kindergarten and transitional early entry kindergarten programs in California can be confusing because each California public school district and each individual private school may develop and implement their own plans. California began phasing in Kindergarten eligibility requirements in 2012 to increase the age of students. In 2012, children turning five years of age by December 2 were eligible for Kindergarten. This coming school year ( 2014–2015) children must be five years of age by September 1 for Kindergarten eligibility. This change was implemented based upon research indicating a slightly older child is better equipped to thrive in an academic environment and has a better grasp of social and emotional skills.

Some California public school districts and private schools offer optional transitional early entry Kindergarten programs for children. This coming school year, children

Mindfulness

By Brenda Videnoff “A healthy mind is the true key to happiness,” said His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, during his keynote speech at the recent Global Spa and Wellness Summit. “We spend so much energy on physical health and hygiene—but we need to spend more on mental hygiene and the ‘hygiene’ of emotion.”

This is one of the biggest movements the wellness industry has ever seen. People are craving (and needing) a reboot of their brains—and the reasons are plentiful.

not turning five by September 1 are eligible for Transitional Early Kindergarten. Usually children must be five no later than December 1, but this varies by school. The purpose of Transitional Early Entry Kindergarten is to provide students with an academic foundation and social skills necessary for success in Kindergarten. Transitional Kindergarten program attendance is particularly important for children not attending Pre-Kindergarten programs and those attending Pre-Kindergarten programs without early literacy and academic components in their curriculum.

Parents of four and five year old children are faced with important decisions in the coming months. For children not yet ready for a comprehensive academic kindergarten program, look for a pre-kindergarten program with an engaging early literacy based curriculum to foster and enhance learning and social skills. For children ready for a more academic approach, a two-year transitional early entry kindergarten program is an excellent choice to facilitate the joy of learning.

There are some private schools that offer two-year programs that are also recognized by the State Department of Education as a private kindergarten elementary school. La Costa Valley Preschool & Kindergarten is one such school.

The school has successfully offered kindergarten and transitional early entry programs since 1991. Eligibility is based upon a student’s demonstrated developmental and academic readiness skills necessary for classroom and personal success. Now is the time to begin exploring program options. If you begin the process now, you may find it is a good adventure and you won’t feel pressed when making this important decision for your child’s academic success.

Cindy Cleary-Cesena is Executive Director at La Costa Valley Preschool & Kindergarten, Faculty Member of San Diego State University–Child and Family Development Department in the School of Education, and President of The San Diego Association For The Education of Young Children.

Mindfulness gives us an effective tool to cope with today’s highly stressed-out world. Mindfulness Massage has been proven to re-wire our brains to become less anxious, happier, more focused and even more creative. All walks of life are waking up to the fact that mindful living breeds a healthy mind, one that is able to focus and get things done.

More studies are surfacing that compel us to continue this quest for a “change of mind.” This includes research that shows an hour of yoga a week reduces stress by a third and cuts healthcare costs by an average of $2,000 a year, while other studies have linked mindfulness to improved sleep, emotional stability, better cognitive functions and increased productivity. The physical benefits of spa and

wellness activities have long been known to reduce stress and relax our bodies, but today and beyond there will be a sharp focus on interweaving mindfulness techniques into these practices to help us reach a whole new place of serenity and calm and give us the tools we need to focus on what’s important in our lives, both at work and at home, helping us to be in the moment with those we most care about. Mindfulness Massage incorporates relaxation techniques including breathing, guided imagery and use of essential oils.

June 10, Solo Start at 12pm, June 14, Team Start at 12pm

July 19, 8am – 5pm

Known as the “World’s Toughest Bicycle Race,” the Race Across America (RAAM) begins in Oceanside just below the Oceanside Pier in the Amphitheater. Solo riders leave Oceanside on June 10 at 12pm and team riders leave on June 14 at 12pm. Racers travel 3,000 miles, cross 12 states, pass through 88 counties and 350 communities to finish in Annapolis, Maryland.

Race Across America is the the world’s top endurance cycling event. Each racer will climb more than 100,000 feet. This is roughly the distance from the ground to the edge of space, more than three times the altitude flown by commercial jetliners and four times the altitude of Mount Everest. Many solo racers will sleep no more than 90 minutes per day over the 8-12 day race.

This year is the 33rd edition of RAAM. Spectators are invited and encouraged to attend this important event whether cheering on a racer or just looking to see a small piece of sporting history. For more information visit www. raceacrossamerica.org.

The day prior to the festival, July 18, from noon until dusk, an exhibition sandcastle will be on display for all to see. From 6pm until midnight that evening there will be a Sandcastle Ball. But it is at 8am, on July 19, that the main festivities begin. The new Sun & Sea Festival will feature world-class, award-winning master sandcastle builders fashioning some of the best sand creations on the West

Coast in a fast-paced, five hour build.

The Sun and Sea Festival will also include a community parade featuring youth groups and civic organizations, a farmers market and international food fair, a pancake breakfast, live music, children’s activities, a Kids ‘n Kastles competition, and on-stage entertainment.

Del Mar Thoroughbred Horse Racing Features Big Concerts, Beer Fests and Food Events Win Free Tickets!

The 2014 summer season at Del Mar kicks off on Thursday, July 17 and runs through September 3. Racing at Del Mar takes place Wednesday through Sunday, with post time for the first race on most days at 2 p.m. On Fridays the first post changes to 4 p.m.

The legendary Del Mar Racetrack once again welcomes the nation’s fastest horses and Southern California’s most spirited party-goers. The seaside facility’s sevenweek meet is filled with big races, free concerts, and exciting weekend events.

The Seaside Stage will host the racetrack’s Summer Concert Series, featuring free shows from a lineup of performers that includes Counting Crows, Weezer, and Ziggy Marley. Returning to the track this year is the Del Mar Grill Fest on August 9, where 25 championship barbeque teams, restaurants and caterers will be serving up anything and everything grilled: meats, seafood, veggies and desserts. The Gourmet Food Truck Festival is back with 50 food trucks for guest to indulge from. Del Mar’s beer fests are better than ever, featuring San Diego breweries on July 26 and International brews on August 24.

Del Mar’s richest and most prestigious race, the $1 Million TVG Pacific Classic, will take place on Sunday,

August 24, with a post time of 1 p.m. and is expected to attract many of the country’s top jockeys, trainers and race horses.

This year’s calendar also features fan favorites such as Donut Days on July 19 and August 23, Free and Easy Wednesdays (weekly), Daybreak at Del Mar (weekly on Saturdays and Sundays) and handicapping seminars throughout the season. Dog lovers can cheer on the fastest dachshunds in the west between races during the Wiener Dog Nationals – a perennial family favorite at Del Mar on Labor Day Weekend, August 30.

Then the legendary track will open its gates again on Friday, Nov. 7 for its first taste of fall racing – a month of sport that will fill a void in the Southern California racing calendar caused by the recent closing of Hollywood Park in Los Angeles.

61st Annual World Championship Over The Line Tournament in Mission Beach July 12-13 and July 19-20, 7:30am

The Old Mission Beach Athletic Club’s Over The Line Tournament (OTL) has become more than just a local San Diego tradition. With the first tournament being held over 60 years ago, OTL has become notorious worldwide. This year the event is held on July 12 and 13 and the following weekend on July 19 and 20. Men and women of all ages, from all over the world, flock to Mission Bay’s Fiesta Island to compete in this one-of-a-kind event. The tournament is expected to draw more than 50,000 competitors and spectators.

Over The Line participants compete in a softball-like bat and ball sport. Three player teams are encouraged to create unique and unusual names for their teams and many teams participate while wearing wild costumes. The

Over The Line court is made of a rope triangle in the sand.

Hits are made when a ball is hit into fair territory on the fly without being caught by fielders, when any ball is touched and dropped by fielders or when fielders cross “The Line” or any of its extensions when attempting to catch a ball.

Three hits in an inning scores one run, while each additional hit in that same inning scores one more run, and a home run “Clears the Bases.” On the first weekend of play, teams compete in three-inning games and any team lucky enough to make it into the second weekend of play will participate in four-inning games.

The Over The Line Tournament is a public event and free to attend, however it is not an appropriate or safe event for children due to crowds, bat and ball related games and language. The Old Mission Beach Athletic Club reminds competitors and spectators to follow the seven “B”s: No bottles, No bicycles, No bowzers (dogs), No babies, No boas, No bad attitudes and No battles. There will be several stands to purchase hot food and cold nonalcoholic drinks, as well as a beer garden where beer and mixed drinks will be served.

Each year the tournament is held at Mission Bay’s Fiesta Island, which is located at 1590 East Mission Bay Drive. When traveling from North County San Diego to Fiesta Island, take the 5 South to the Sea World Drive exit, head west, turn right on East Mission Bay Drive and the entrance is on the left. For more information visit www. ombac.org.

According to Brent Stephens, Owner and Surfing Instructor at Concept Surfboard and Bike Shop, “You have to be able to adapt in this business and have an edge.” That’s just what he has done with Concept, located just two blocks from Moonlight Beach. Yes, Concept has surfboard rentals, wetsuits, beach accessories, and beach cruisers for rent to grab and go, but what is unique about Concept is the concept of letting surfers rent and try out the latest and newest local and global brands and sometimes very pricey surfboards before they lay down a bunch of cash to buy one.

What a Concept..”ride before you buy!” exclaims Stephens.

And, it’s working! He literally attracts all types of surfers from beginner to pro trying out his boards and helps his higher-

end clients get custom boards made.

Stephens is also a very respected surf instructor in the surfing industry and professionally manages surfers with their surfing carriers. He also hires expert surfing instructors to help him with all-year and especially summer surf camps.

His surfing camp school called Dawn Patrol has been partnered with the City of Encinitas Recreation Department for more than six years. Dawn Patrol is one of the most popular surf camps in North County and classes fill up and sell out quickly. Dawn Patrol offers different types of camps depending on gender, age, and proficiency. They offer beginning and advanced classes and even have all-girl surfing camps.

If you are thinking about taking surfing lessons this summer contact Surf Patrol before they fill up at (760) 753-6870 or through the City of Encinitas Recreation Department.

Concept is located 2 blocks from Moonlight Beach at 215 West D Street, Encinitas 92024. Call (760) 753-6870 or visit www.conceptboardandbikes.com.

On Saturday, July 12, thousands of people will gather at “Dog Beach” in Del Mar to crown a beach bocce world champion in each of four divisions: Men’s Open, Men’s Beginner/Intermediate, Mixed, and Women’s. Enjoy an outstanding day filled with food, sun, and of course, championship beach bocce ball action, while raising money to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad. This event will surely be a sellout. There will be over 365 two-person teams competing in this event to raise money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carlsbad.

Roberto Vigilucci has done a lot by giving back to the community. Everyone is invited to Dog Beach on July 12.

Have fun, enjoy the day, but please just this one day leave your dog at home because space is very limited. Please no giant umbrellas and pop-up canopies. Adult beverages are allowed in the tournament area only. Costumes are encouraged! Shuttles from Del Mar Fairgrounds will be provided.

After the tournament stop by any local Vigilucci’s Italian restaurant and enjoy a meal or a drink just to say “thank you” to Roberto for supporting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carlsbad. For more information call 760-729-0207 or visit www.beachbocce.com.

Carlsbad Beach Fest – Music and Professional Sand Sculpting at Tamarack State Beach June 14, Saturday 8am – 3pm The 7th Annual Carlsbad Beach Fest will be held on Saturday, June 14, from 8am to 3pm at beautiful Tamarack State Beach in Carlsbad. The event is free and open to the public, with the hope of raising awareness and generating support for coastal preservation, stewardship, improvement projects and educational scholarships. Events throughout the day will include live local music, local food vendors, dancing, professional sand sculpting, Legoland’s Sea Life Aquarium Touch Pool, and interactive educational and artistic activities for children and adults alike.

Nearly the entire event—including music equipment, water pumps, refrigerators, etc.—will be powered by solar energy panels. The sand pile used for the professional sand sculpture will be watered with seawater, rather than potable drinking water (in a drought season). A grunion run monitoring session will be performed on Thursday night prior to sand piling the following Friday to ensure we are not endangering sensitive grunion habitat.

Reusable bags will be made available for beach cleanup activities while supplies last and we kindly ask that volunteers bring their own bags and gloves. Free t-shirts will be available for cleanup volunteers while supplies last.

Beach cleanups are a great way to help improve beach and

ocean cleanliness, but they only deal with the symptoms of the problem, not the actual problem itself. This is why the Carlsbad Beach Fest stresses stewardship and personal responsibility by promoting a “pack-in, pack-out” or “leave no trace” philosophy.

If you bring something to the beach—whatever it may be—we urge you to take it home with you and leave no trace that you were ever there…outside of your footprints in the sand. The mission of the Carlsbad Beach Fest is: clean beaches, clean oceans, stewardship, and education.

The event highlights the beaches, ocean and lagoon waterways found within Carlsbad, raises awareness concerning the effects of marine debris, and provides an opportunity for residents to participate in beach cleanups throughout the day…and have fun doing so!

Informational and educational event booths will be located adjacent to Tamarack State Beach parking lot at the bottom of the ramp below the intersection of Carlsbad Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue (http://ow.ly/wr2i7).

Foundations, non-profits, corporations or other groups interested in sponsoring or partnering with the Carlsbad Beach Fest should contact Mat Huff at: mat@carlsbadbeachfest.com or 760-271-5787. For more event details, visit www.carlsbadbeachfest.com.

Professional Bull Riding at Del Mar Fairgrounds August 16, 8pm Professional Bull Riding (PBR) thunders into the Del Mar Arena Saturday, August 16, during the 9th Annual Del Mar Invitational, a Touring Pro Division event. Come early and spend the day at the races FREE! Present your PBR ticket at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Race Track’s Stretch Run Gate and receive FREE admission to the live horse races meet on August 16.

Returning this year is the crowd pleasing Bull Poker and Cowboy Teeter-Totter. During Bull Poker, four cowboys sit at a poker table in the middle of the arena with a bull on the loose. Knowing when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em, knowing when to walk away, and knowing when to run are vital to staying alive and/or winning the prize! In Teeter Totter, the cowboys bob up and down on the teeter-totter, trying to stay out of the bull’s way. Who will be brave enough and remain seated long enough to avoid becoming mincemeat? Can the four cowboys on the teeter-totter outsmart the snorting, angry bull and avoid spilling blood?

The PBR’s Touring Pro Division offers the best bull riders the opportunity to qualify for the Built Ford Tough Competitions and Finals. This event features the world’s toughest riders and the industry’s most notoriously mean and nasty bulls, to create non-stop, edge-of-yourseat action. A diverse group from different backgrounds and personalities, over 800 cowboys hold a PBR membership but; they all share the same goal — to conquer the rankest bulls in the world.

Box Seats for PBR are $66.00 and Grandstand seats are $26.00. Military discounts available.

Tickets for the Del Mar Invitational Professional Bull Riding event are on sale now at www.ticketmaster.com and at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Administration Box Office. For more information visit www.delmarfairgrounds.com.

Fallen Angels

Unnecessary Farce

By Noël Coward Directed by Rosina Reynolds

april 15 – may 10, 2015

Freud’s Last Session

Betrayal

This is Noël Coward at his inimitable best.

FALLEN ANGELS provides an entertaining two hours of sheer delight, when you combine two slightly bored British women, an amorous Frenchman, clueless husbands and one very cheeky maid. You have the ingredients for an enjoyable evening that only Noël Coward can provide.

OFF BROADWAY HIT!

It’s the perfect setup for a laugh-filled evening at the theatre. An embezzling mayor, his female accountant who can’t stay dressed, two undercover cops, nefarious hit men, and of course, videotape. A zany San Diego premiere that will leave you howling with laughter.

Master playwright Harold Pinter explores the shifting balance of power within a love triangle.

Passionate, explosive and surprisingly funny, BETRAYAL is considered one of Pinter’s most innovative and influential works, one that is certain to provoke lively discussion long after the curtain falls.

Nearing the end of his life, Sigmund Freud has a final visitor, the writer and former atheist C.S. Lewis. The result is a lively debate touching on love, religion, politics and life.

Mark St. Germain infuses this fictional meeting with gentle humor and sharp dialogue. A mustsee for the discerning theatre-lover.

A San Diego premiere, this wildly entertaining musical spoof of 1940s film noir is laced with mystery, music and demolished dreams. In the best Raymond Chandler tradition, GUNMETAL BLUES is fresh, funny and thoroughly inventive!

Revel in the sophistication, wit, insight, heart and genius of Broadway’s most innovative and influential artist, composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim. An unmatched evening of enchantment for musical theatre fans.
