'Three days, 11 hours and 26 Miles to home'
Kick Tommy band
co-founder Larry Cox
is promoting Catalina
STAFF REPORT
It is 5:45 a.m. Pacific Standard
Time. As the morning sun pre-
pares to bring full daylight upon
the quiet beachfront morning,
a man ponders the day ahead.
Sitting at a table in a Huntington
Beach Starbucks, he knows the
next 45. minutes will be the last
peaceful moments for catching up
on some personal business and
answering a few timely emails.
And yet, an unforeseen phone call
from a back-east business associ-
ate will eat up approximately 20
of those minutes. It is going to be
another busy day for the man.
One glance at the day's to-do
list says it all. An early breakfast
meeting with a concert promoter.
Go over the artwork proofs for pro-
motional materials for the upcom-
ing concert. A video meeting on
Skype with some Las Vegas staff-
ers regarding a new product line.
A test run with the programming
of some new lighting equipment.
A meeting with the venue owner
for the upcoming concert. Finish
some voiceovers for a promotional
video ad. Go over a contract for
a product sponsorship. A lunch
meeting with a manufacturer's rep-
resentative. A five-hour afternoon
band rehearsal for the upcoming
CD release concert. And unavoid-
ably, a late-day appointment and

Descanso Fresh ice cream shop opens
Offerings to include
ice cream treats for
children and adults
STAFF REPORT'
A new ice cream shop/cafe
opened its doors this week in
Avalon. Descanso Fresh began
serving on Monday, June 15, just
in time for summer.
Located at the Descanso Beach
cove and adjacent to the newly
opened Catherine's Terrace,
Descanso Fresh is a gourmet
espresso bar and cafe that will
serve homemade grab-and-go food
and beverages.
Descanso Fresh is a throwback
to the classic "ice cream shoppe"
on the beach. "Descanso Fresh
brings some sizzle to the Island
this summer with a brand new
concept- a twist on a beloved
ice cream shoppe along with
gourmet offerings, unlike any-
thing we've seen here before,"
said Ben Villalobos, director, food
and beverage, for Santa Catalina
Island Company. "The new expe-
rience of Descanso Fresh is just
the first of many that guests can
expect at Descanso Beach Club
and Catalina Island." Offerings
will include Catalinaisland's cel-
ebrated Buffalo Milk ice cream
and other alcofiol-infused adult
treats, in addition to gourmet Lilly
coffee, milkshakes and smoothies.
Open to guests of all ages, menu
prices range from $3-$12.
Football
From page 6
"We plan to go all the way"
Forcella said.
The entire Vince Lombardi
quote is, "Football is life. It
requires perseverance, self-denial,
hard work, sacrifice, dedication
and respect for authority."
The Medical Center is delight-
ed to have Forcella on its "team"
as an important contributor to the
mission and vision to provide qual-
ity health care to each individual,
improve the overall health of the
community and bring excellence
to patient-centered care and health
enrichment.
The California Interscholastic
Federation All-Star Game will be
played on Saturday, June 27, at
Joe Machado Field at 5:30 p.m.
Avalon athletes who are partici-
pating as "All Stars" include #14

Contreras, #65 Edoardo Pedroza,
#72 Cesar Silva and #88 Andy
Garcia. Admission prices are $8
for Adults, $5 tor Students and
