THE LATEST: A man driving a stolen CR&R modifi ed pickup truck caused a three-car collision at the intersection of Pacifi c Coast Highway and Dana Point Harbor Drive in Dana Point shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday.
The other two vehicles involved were a white Toyota Matrix and a van belonging to Haines & Cross Upholstery and Carpet Cleaning.
Chemicals from the cleaning van were spilled on the roadway as a result of the accident.
Fire Department Battalion Chief Jim Bailey said that, according to Materials Safety Data Sheets supplied by Haines & Cross, the hazards appeared to be mild to moderate, but worthy of being evaluated by the hazmat team.
To ensure the safety of the responders and pedestrians, authorities expanded the blocked off area around the van. The hazmat team arrived shortly after 3 p.m. to clean up the spill.
According to Dana Point Chief of Police Lt. Lynn Koehmstedt, the suspect took the truck from the grounds of Marco Forster Middle School, proceeded southbound on Del Obispo and ran a few red lights before crashing.
A CR&R employee was making a de-livery at the school. A dumpster was still attached to the truck’s hydraulic lift at the time of the theft.
The drivers of all three vehicles, includ-ing the suspect, were taken to Mission Hospital. All were complaining of pain but the extent of their injuries was unknown as of 2:30 p.m.
WHAT’S NEXT: Following the suspect’s release from the hospital he will be booked into the Orange County Jail in Santa Ana and will be arraigned within 72 hours of the
THE LATEST: After announcing last week that a meeting to discuss Southern California Edison’s proposed response to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s confi rmatory action letter regarding re-pairs and maintenance of the nuclear plant would be held in Dana Point, the NRC has announced that the location, and perhaps the date, of its meeting will change.
An NRC news release originally indicated that the meeting would be held at a Dana Point hotel on November 16. However, Victor Dricks, a spokesperson for NRC-Region IV, which has oversight over San Onofre, stated that “last minute issues” had put both the location and date of the meeting into question.
WHAT’S NEXT: The NRC expected to an-nounce a new time, date and location for the meeting by Wednesday, but as of press time on Thursday, no announcement had been made.

THE LATEST: The agenda for the next City Council meeting—November 20, 6 p.m. at City Hall Council Chambers, 33282 Golden Lantern—will include discussion on short-term vacation rentals in Dana Point and a presentation of the city’s Tourism Business Improvement District, or TBID, annual report for 2012.
At the September 18 meeting City Coun-cil directed staff to prepare recommenda-tions on how to regulate short-term rentals in the city rather than step up enforcement of the ban already in place.
Mayor Lara Anderson said the vacation rental issue has continued to be a hot topic
proposed ordinance.Council is also expected to decide
whether it feels the TBID program should be continued and to set a date to hold a public meeting to renew it.
“I am looking forward to seeing the TBID annual report,” Anderson said. “I believe the program had a successful sum-mer and am hopeful that the council will see fi t to continue the program into the new year.”

among residents, and the city has received an abundance of correspondence from the public since its last appearance on the agenda in September.
The TBID annual report will contain information regarding the program’s success with its promotional campaign fi nanced via a $3 per night fee collected by the hotels.
Program guidelines of the TBID—formed in 2009 as partnership between the city and its four largest hotels to market the city as a premier travel destination—require yearly review and re-approval by January 1 of each year.
WHAT’S NEXT: Staff will present the council with examples of short-term rental programs, regulations, related costs and revenue scenarios.

COMPILED BY KEVIN DAHLGREN
All information below is obtained from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department website. The calls represent what was told to the deputy in the field by the radio dispatcher. The true nature of an incident often differs from what is initially reported. No assumption of criminal guilt or affili-ation should be drawn from the content of the information provided. An arrest doesn’t represent guilt. The items below are just a sampling of the entries listed on the OCSD Web site.

of residences and throwing them into the street.
DISTURBANCE-MECHANICALValencia Place/Blue Lantern (12:30 p.m.)A patrol check was requested for an empty parking lot where loud construc-tion equipment was bothering residents in the area. Several minutes after the initial report, police received a second call reporting that the construction noise had stopped.
MUNICIPAL CODE VIOLATIONSCalle Real, 26800 Block (9:19 a.m.)A resident called police to complain about construction happening in his neighbor-hood.

Sunday, November 11
DISTURBANCEDiana Drive, 33700 Block (10:47 p.m.)A resident called police after hearing

ILLEGAL PEDDLINGPacific Coast Highway/Crystal Lantern (7:44 a.m.) A man was seen walking near McDonald’s asking people for money. The caller told police the man was very agitated and may possibly be under the influence of alcohol or drugs
THE LATEST: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission rejected a petition last Thurs-day by environmental group Friends of the Earth for a license amendment review at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
The decision was made at a public meet-ing in Rockville, Md.
The license amendment review process had been championed by advocates of anti-nuclear activists as a way to get an outside review of the plant’s safety record and viability.
The Commission rejected FOE’s argu-ment that a license amendment process should have been undertaken when the steam generators at Units 2 and 3 were replaced in 2010 and 2011. However, it did provide FOE with the ability to petition the chief administrative judge of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel to consider whether the confirmatory action letter sent to plant owner, Southern Cali-fornia Edison, by the NRC constituted a de facto license amendment and is subject to a hearing.
The decision also stated “restart of SONGS was not imminent.”
THE LATEST: Orange County Public Librar-ies ordered the Friends of the Library Bookstore at the Dana Point branch tem-porarily closed, effective November 1.
The county announced at its October 24 volunteer recognition event at the Laguna Niguel branch that it would begin to work toward putting together formal licens-ing agreements with Friends bookstores county-wide.
The announcement came as a result of county attorney Jacqueline Guzman discovering that no license agreements

…Friends of the Library Bookstore?

exist between the county and any Friends groups. Guzman recommended that, for the protection of the libraries and the Friends groups, there should be formal agreements specifically allowing the non-profit volunteer Friends groups to occupy county property for the purpose of selling books in order to provide financial support for library services.
Guzman on October 29 informed the Friends of the Dana Point Library board that the Dana Point bookstore would be closed while the county works on the project.
According to Orange County Librarian Helen Fried, all other Friends bookstores will remain open and their boards will be contacted by the county regarding their licensing agreements after January.
Recent infighting between the current Friends board and a group of former volunteers dubbed “Save Our Bookstore” has escalated, resulting in an effort by the group to oust the board and, in response, the filing of a lawsuit against Save Our Bookstore by the current board.
“We felt that since a new board is set to be elected in December at the Friends’ annual meeting, and in light of recent internal conflict among the board and former volunteers, this temporary closure would provide the group an opportunity to amicably resolve their internal member
conflicts,” said Fried. “We hope that the newly elected Friends board, members, volunteers and library staff can meet after the election to reaffirm all the parties’ expectations and continue the partnership we have enjoyed all these years.”
There are 34 county owned libraries in Orange County, but not all have Friends bookstores.
Friends nonprofit support organizations are neither organized nor controlled by the county.
WHAT’S NEXT: The recommendation is still awaiting final approval by the OC Board of Supervisors and is expected to appear on a meeting agenda some time in December.
Books donated during the temporary closure are being stored in the warehouse at library headquarters in Santa Ana and will be delivered to the Friends bookstore upon reopening, Fried said.
Fried added that once members of the new board and county representatives sign the license agreement, the county will authorize the store to be reopened.
An official reopening date is yet to be determined, but Fried estimates a tentative date of January 1.
FIND OUT MORE: Stay tuned for updates. —AS
WHAT’S NEXT: While the group ex-pressed disappointment with the decision not to have the adjudicated hearing, it expressed positive feelings about other po-tential oversight measures announced by the commission, including a directive the commission’s staff to reexamine whether a license amendment review should have taken place, as well as whether a future license amendment review should be un-dertaken in light of past actions by Edison.

Trot for the Troops
By Andrea SwayneDana Point Times
The 35th Annual Dana Point Turkey Trot provides the opportunity to support Marines and their families
his Thanksgiving marks the 35th running of the annual Dana Point Turkey Trot, an event that has
become a cherished holiday tradition for thousands of Dana Point families as well as many who travel to the city each year to participate.
Aside from the early morning fun of joining nearly 11,000 runners, many in amusing costumes, this year’s Turkey Trot also offers participants meaningful opportunities to engage in both “thanks” and “giving” to Camp Pendleton-base Marines, Sailors and their families.
Event organizer, the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce, has earmarked proceeds to go toward supporting the Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment Support Group’s efforts to show our active duty 5th Marines the community’s appreciation and lend support to them and their families whether in-country or deployed.
In addition to running in the event, participants may elect to make an addi-tional donation to sponsor a Marine, their spouse, or child’s entry into the event or to purchase a post-event Thanksgiving din-ner for them at Mahé Restaurant.
The 5th Marine Regiment Support Group is reporting that although this year’s Thanksgiving dinner program has so far attracted much attention from members of the community wishing to dine with Marines at Mahé Restaurant fol-lowing the Turkey Trot, the support group is still in need of donations to sponsor
T
dinners for the honored guests.“The public’s support of the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner at Mahé for our 5th Marines has been outstanding; so much that we are now sold out of civilian dinner reserva-tions,” said group director Alan Wick-strom. “We are, however, still in need of sponsorship for our Marines’ dinners.”
Wickstrom added that although Mahé foots much of the dinner bill—along with providing the venue, chefs and staff to make the meal a success—the support group relies on donations from race participants and other members of the community to feed the Marines and their families.
There are two other opportunities, besides simply entering the race, for the public to contribute to the support group’s efforts.
Participants can elect to add an addition-al donation to their entry fee when regis-tering for the race, or for those who want to contribute without running, donations can be made online at www.danapoint5th-marines.com or www.turkeytrot.com.
Donations may also be sent via mail to the 5th Marine Regiment Support Group at P.O. Box 471, Dana Point, CA 92629-0471.
For information on where and how to drop off a donation, call the Support Group at 949.378.7984.
JOIN THE FUNThe Turkey Trot offers something for
everyone from elite runners to beginners and walkers, so even if the race has not yet become a tradition in your family, why not
The Dana Point Times caught up with special event guest, endurance athlete, best-selling author and speaker, Dean Karnazes, to discuss his partici-pation in this year’s Turkey Trot and to gather his advice for race participants, whether beginners or experienced racers.
Karnazes has been hailed by Men’s Fitness Magazine as one of the world’s fittest athletes and one of TIME Magazine’s “Top 100 Most Influential People in the World.”
Karnazes is credited with a host of extraordinary feats of endurance including his most recent en-deavor, running 50 marathons, on 50 consecutive days, in all 50 states.
Here is a sampling of what he had to say:DP Times: I have heard that you once lived in
this area. True? If so, can you tell us a little bit about how it feels to be a guest of honor at such a long-running local event like the 35th Annual Dana Point Turkey Trot?
KARNAZES: Indeed true. Although I currently reside in the San Francisco Bay Area, I graduated
give it a try this year. With a 10K, 5K and Mission Hospital
Kids’ Gobble Wobble as well as the Aviir Health and Wellness Expo, the Turkey Trot is a healthy and energizing way to kick off Thanksgiving Day.
Advanced registration is available online at www.turkeytrot.com through November 19.
Onsite registration will be available Wednesday, November 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Dana Marina Plaza parking lot at the corner of Dana Point Harbor Drive and Golden Lantern, near Mahé Restaurant.
The two-day Aviir Wellness Expo begins November 21 with highlights including a talk and book signing at 1 p.m. by ultra-marathoner Dean Karnazes, courtesy of event sponsor The Greek Gods Greek Yogurt.
Expo attendees are also welcome to join Karnazes on a 1-mile Harbor run begin-
from San Clemente High and my parents and brother still live in the area. In fact, my nephew, Nicholas, attends Dana Hills High School. All of my family is running the Dana Point Turkey Trot this year and we’re all very excited. I first ran the Dana Point Turkey Trot over a decade ago. It is a fantastic event and I am thrilled to be back.
You run with what seems to be super-human endurance and dedication. How much of your ability is innate and how much is training?
While I don’t consider myself “super-human,” my body does have certain qualities that allow me to run long distances. Of course, rigorous physical training is a crucial component of preparing a body for such challenges, but there are other factors of equal importance. Diet and nutrition play an es-sential role, as does mental focus and determina-tion. Running hundreds of miles in a clip is as much of a mental challenge as a physical one.
What advice can you give to recreational run-ners who would like to improve their endurance/go farther, faster and longer?
www.danapointtimes.comDana Point Times November 16-22, 2012 Page 6
ning at 3 p.m. Wednesday. Race day registration will run from 6
a.m. to noon in the same parking lot.Karnazes will also be in attendance on
race day to kick off the 10K and to run alongside participants of the Mission Hospital Kids’ Gobble Wobble.
The Aviir Health and Wellness Expo will also include free diagnostic heart testing by Aviir, flu shots by Walgreens and free samples from The Greek Gods Yogurt. The Chamber will also be offering all new Turkey Trot themed merchandise for sale.
“This year’s event will be bigger and better with an expanded health and well-ness expo, tech shirts and upgraded com-petition level medals. Plus race division medals for a variety of age groups,” said Heather Johnston, Chamber of Commerce executive director.
In addition, the top three finishers in each age group will be presented with special winners’ medals. DP
Every runner is different. The best advice is to listen to everyone, follow no one. What works for me may not work equally well for you. Experiment, try new things, keep an open mind and learn as you progress. Ultimately, only you can determine what works best for you.
Do you have any quick tips beginners running the Turkey Trot for the first time?
Sure, don’t beat me! (laughter). Seriously, I ap-plaud all those who are just starting out and the best guidance I can offer is to try and enjoy yourself. The course is incredibly scenic so engage in the sur-rounds. Sure, there will be pain, there’s no denying that. But embrace that pain and overcome it. The difficultly makes the reward of finishing all the more meaningful. If that doesn’t work, think about the extra slice of pumpkin pie you can enjoy for Thanks-giving because of the calories you burned during the run (more laughter).
Run if you can; walk if you have to; crawl if you must; just never give up! DP

Since the fi rst offi cial running of the Dana Point Turkey Trot 35 years ago, the annual Thanksgiving Day race has become a cherished family tradition for many Southern California families as well as those that travel from out of state to take part.

Who is the fictional secret agent based on the popular stories by Ian Fleming celebrating his 50th anniversary on the silver screen with Skyfall? It’s Bond. James Bond. Starring Daniel Craig, the sixth actor to portray Agent 007, and debuting six years after the stellar Casino Royale and four years after the underwhelming Quantum of Solace; Skyfall jumps back in an outstanding way. After failing to take down the villain who stole a list of important British secret agents’ identities and being shot by his own partner (Naomie Harris), Bond goes into hiding leaving the rest of the world believing he’s dead. Meanwhile, someone has hacked into the computer of Military Intelligence, Section 6 (MI6) agency head M (Judi Dench) and is planning to attack both her and MI6. This turn of events encourages Bond
to get back in the game and track down the menace behind the stolen list. Ralph Fiennes co-stars as MI6’s new chairman, Ben Whishaw plays Q, Bérénice Marlohe is the second Bond girl and Javier Bardem is the latest Bond foe. Skyfall is the first 007 feature with a completely original script (by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan) not based on one of Fleming’s stories. Oscar winning director Sam Mendes delivers great Bond-worthy action sequences, but the real draw and heart of the film shines as the origins of the secret agent himself are studied and challenged. The theme song by Adele isn’t too shabby either. —Megan Bianco

REOPENING
The Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel, 34280 Pacifi c Coast Highway, held a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday, October 18, to celebrate its grand reopening, after completing a six-month long, $1.5 million renovation project.
Formerly a Holiday Inn Express, the hotel has been a Best Western member since the beginning of August. Although the hotel still offers the same amenities as before, many of the facilities have been refurbished and modernized. In addition to complimentary breakfasts, the hotel also features a remod-eled pool, meeting facilities, a business center and a fi tness center.
The fi tness center might be small but includes state-of-the-art, brand new equip-ment for both cardiovascular and weight-training workouts. Just adjacent to the fi tness center is the pool, which includes a sun deck. The meeting, or Riviera, room is large enough to seat up to 50 people, and the business center, located in the lobby, features comput-ers, work stations and printing stations.
“We’ve always had these things, but they’ve been improved through our renova-tion,” Karen Mitchell, director of sales and

marketing, said. “The response has been positive so far. We’ve gotten some excellent reviews on Trip Advisor and Yelp.”
The hotel features 87 rooms, which have all been remodeled with brand new furnish-ings, beds, draperies and carpets. Mitch-ell highlighted two rooms: the whirlpool suite—which includes an oversized king bed and bathroom with a whirlpool tub—and the two-room suite, which Mitchell called “perfect for families.”
The hotel welcomes prospective guests to tours of the new facilities. Mitchell says the hotel will also be offering special holiday rates. For more information, visit www.best-western.com and search “Marina Shores Hotel,” or call the hotel at 949.248.1000.
GRAND OPENING
George Robles is a 30-year veteran of the clothing industry, and if there’s one thing he’s learned over the years, it’s that there’s nothing more important than quality. That is, Robles’ philosophy is to offer a combina-tion of high quality merchandise with top-of-the-line service. On August 10, Robles premiered his newest venture, Georges Fashion, in Dana Point.
“I sell and like to deal in better quality goods,” Robles said. “There was a need here to keep a quality clothing store in the area.”
Georges Fashion carries suits, sport coats, casual wear, belts and other accessories. Some of the top brands the store carries in-clude Alberto, Robert Graham, Eton, Zanella, Reyn Spooner, Tommy Bahama, Bugatchi, Nat Nast and Scott Barber.
Although the store primarily caters to men, Robles says he also carries ladies tops, jeans and leather coats. The store also offers tuxedo rentals, which Robles anticipates will be particularly popular with the high school crowd during formal and prom seasons.
“We try to allow the people a better option instead of going to the mall,” Robles said. “Whether it’s for themselves or for a gift, they can come to fi nd whatever they need.”
Robles has already struck up a relationship with some of the local hotels. When hotel guests on business trips experience ward-robe malfunctions, Robles and his staff are contacted to tend to their needs.
“It just happened the other day when a customer forgot a shirt at the Marriot. We hopped on over and took care of his needs,” Robles said.
During the holiday season, the store is
offering customers 20 percent off fi rst-time purchases. Georges Fashion is located at 32932 Pacifi c Coast Highway, Suite 23. For more information, call 949.661.2300.
ANNIVERSARY
Surterre Properties has come a long way in six years. The company has grown to include six offi ces throughout south Orange County, including one in Monarch Beach, and has completed over $6 billion in sales.
The company attributes much of its success to its “technologically-advanced” team, consisting of 340 agents and 40 staff members. Their aggressive online campaign has led to greater hits on search engines, and in turn, has increased their exposure. Surterre also touts their real estate app, which connects users with all the features on the company website.
Surterre has also done their part in the community by offering regular e-waste and document shredding drives, in an effort to promote environmental sustainability. Over 50 tons of e-waste and over 45 tons of pa-per have been recycled, according to a news release. For more information, visit www.surterreproperties.com.

5GIRLS TENNIS • The Dolphins run to another CIF-SS Championship may have ended after their 9-8 loss to University on November 7, but their hopes at a State Regional title are still very much alive.
The Dolphins (20-2) rattled off a clean 7-0 sweep of visiting Stockton on Novem-ber 13 in the inaugural CIF State Regional tournament.
It is the fi rst time the debate as to which girls tennis team reigns supreme in the southland will be answered. Up until this season there has not been a tournament that pits contenders from the entire Southern Section (Los Angeles, San Diego, Central and Southern) against each other.
The Dolphins started their State Regional title bid on the right foot in the new format that features four singles play-ers and three doubles teams.
The Dolphins singles players made short work of the Stockton individuals, winning all four matches in the format. Alyssa Smith, Jessica Perez, Cassidy Spearman and Gressa Sempre all won their matches in two straight sets.
The doubles format went just as well, if not better, for the Dolphins. Every one of the Dolphin duos won their matches with clean, 6-0 sweeps in each set to ensure the Dolphins advance to the second round of the tournament.
Next Match: 11/16 vs. Granada Hills, at The Claremont Club, noon.

Age: 5, Concordia Elementary
Maddox Bray caught the surfi ng bug early when he stood up on his fi rst wave at T Street at the age of 2. Now at age 5, he and his twin brother Makai are the youngest competitors in the Western Surfi ng Association Championship Tour. Maddox is currently ranked No. 17 of 28 in the Micro Grom U9 Push-in division. He has also played AYSO soccer for two years and enjoys football and skateboarding. Not only is he very dedicated and competitive in sports, he loves school and has even been known to request more homework. His older sister Malia, also a competitive surfer, is largely responsible for motivating his success in surfi ng and school and he enjoys spending time with her in both pursuits. According to his mom, he likes to be helpful around the house too, even asking for chores. Although Maddox admits he really likes to win surf contests, his main motivation for practicing is to learn to do 360s and get barreled. “I like it when it’s double overhead and I want to get tubed,” he said. “I love trophies but I’m OK if I don’t win all the time. One time my brother won a contest in Carlsbad and shared the prizes with me. He gave me a backpack.” Maddox practices four to fi ve days a week at T Street, un-der the tutelage of his dad or sister. “I like to practice hitting the lip and then go home and eat a yummy turkey and lettuce sandwich my mom made,” he said. —Andrea Swayne
