Hispanic Insights
Back-to-school ideas from Borden Dairy/LALA
September means back-to-school ... and
also means it is time for the annual dilemma
for parents in what to pack in the kids’
lunches.
Borden Dairy/LALA has some ideas,
thanks to a slew of new product introductions over the past few months, including
kid-centric drinkable yogurts in new flavors,
easy-pack Art gelatins, and other items.
“Our target market for these new items
is the millenial generation,” said Fred Leahy,
Sales Director West for LALA, a division
of Borden Dairy.
“One of the items is Art gelatin packs,
available in a plastic tub or tube, making
both highly portable for lunchboxes,” Leahy
said.
“There’s also new Frusion ‘Go Wild’
Smoothies, available in a variety of flavors
that kids love,” he added.
“Besides our complete line of regular
milk and yogurt products, we have LALA
Chocolala low fat milk, which has been making its way into milk cases around Southern
California,” he said.
“We know that back-to-school is a busy
and exciting time for families everywhere,”
Leahy said. “We know all of our products
are wholesome, nutritious and delicious and
designed specifically to help make that
morning ritual of packing lunches and getting them in backpacks a little less hectic.
“Our company has always been a leader
in innovation, quality, and value,” Leahy
said, “and we are proud of our reputation as
we help send children back to school this
month.
Borden Dairy/LALA offers a wide variety of
new back-to-school lunchbox items such as Art
Gelatins and Wild Drinkable Smoothies along
with Chocolala Milk ... and the company adds
attractive store displays.
Besides the back-to-school items, LALA
Yogurt Smoothies are delicious, convenient
and easy to enjoy anytime. They are made
with yogurt and real fruit for a wholesome
boost of calcium, protein and vitamins, all
in a size that’s just right.
The delicious fruity taste and simple
goodness comes in a 7-ounce bottle. They
are made with real fruit; are an excellent
source of calcium, Vitamin D, protein and
Vitamin A. They are low fat with no artificial colors, flavors or high fructose corn
syrup.
Borden Dairy and LALA are the same
company. Borden Dairy was formerly
known as LALA Foods, Inc. and changed
its name to Borden Dairy Company in July
2011. The company was founded in 2004
and is based in Dallas. Borden Dairy Com-
Mexican Independence Day
Mexican Independence Day is not
Cinco de Mayo, as most Americans believe; it is the 16th of September or
Dieciseis de Septiembre.
Five other Hispanic countries – Costa
Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,
and Nicaragua – celebrate their independence on Sept. 15, and September is also
Latino Heritage Month, so there are
plenty of reasons to celebrate all things
Latino in September.
Cinco de Mayo (May 5) is observed
to commemorate a rag-tag Mexican
army’s unlikely victory over French
forces that were considered much superior at the Battle of Puebla on May 5,
1862, under the leadership of General
Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.
pany operates as a subsidiary of Grupo Lala,
S.A. De C.V., one of the largest dairy companies in the world.
LALA’s branded products have been
quickly growing in popularity among U.S.
Hispanics, while the acquisition of the
Frusion and other brands has bolstered its
share of the drinkable yogurt and yogurtbased dessert categories.
The Southern California Division of
LALA is headquartered in Ontario, near the
Airport.
LALA’s heritage comes from the leading producer of milk, yogurt, cheese, cream
and yogurt-based desserts in Mexico. The
company owns 23 manufacturing facilities
in Mexico, the U.S. and Central America,
employing 30,000 people. LALA’s distribution network, the largest in Latin America,
comprises 160 distribution centers and
6,000 refrigerated routes, serving more than
550,000 customers every day.
The company’s portfolio of brands includes LALA®, Frusions® Go Wild, Nutri
Leche®, Los Volcanes®, Monarca®,
Mileche®, Vive®, Siluette®, Natural’es®,
Bell® and Parmalat®.
LALA’s mission is to develop and produce top-quality, innovative and nutritious
products for its customers while supporting
a culture of corporate social responsibility,
education, poverty relief, environmental
protection and sports and cultural activities.

Behind the scenes at the Seminar
When you get a free minute at the 46th
National DDBC Seminar at the Omni La
Costa Resort and Spa Sept. 12-14, stop and
think about it for a moment.
The education, the comaraderie, the food,
the surroundings we all enjoy did not just
happen, as it does this time every year.
To provide you with the above items ...
and much more ... you have a dedicated
Seminar Committee to thank.
Led by General Chairman Kristal Clark
(Advantage Sales & Marketing), this year’s
Seminar promises to be one of the best ...
and there have been several great seminars
just in the past few years.
You can thank Clark and her team, including Co-Chairman Liz Wilson (Ralphs),
DDBC Business Manager Susan Steele and
2014 DDBC President (and 2013 Seminar
Chairman) Connie Thatcher (Advantage
Sales & Marketing) for the setting at La
Costa.
The rest of the team has been dedicated
since Day One. The opening Tisdell Cup
Golf Tournament is handled by veterans, so
there will be no unexpected surprises. Make
sure to tip your golf cap to Past President
Bob Dressler (Advantage Action), Bill Back
(Zacky Farms), Steve Nguyen (Unified Grocers), and Henry Rodriguez (Nasser Co.,
Inc.). There is a lot more behind the scenes
work going on besides figuring out which
team starts on which hole.
The prestigious National DDBC Luncheon Festival – always one of the highlights
of a highlight-filled weekend – seems to get
bigger and better every year. That is thanks
to a group of experienced cheese-slicers,
dessert arrangers, and table-setters handling
food items donated by member companies,
beginning work at dawn to be able to feed a
hungry crowd that knows more about food
than any other group around.
Say “thank you” to Jan Beecher-Seidel
(Premier Action Group), Sharon Fails
(Nasser Co., Inc.), Patti Winsell (Horizon
Sales), Cambria Fetherston (Crossmark),
Barbara Dolbee (Bonert’s Pies), and Jordan
Francis (JTJ Sales), among other volunteers.
And don’t forget to remember to add your
appreciation to the group at DPI Specialty
Foods, which gathered the goodies at their
warehouse in Ontario and transported them
A view from the pool area of the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad.
to Carlsbad (as they have done every year
at every location).
When you sit down to one of the breakfasts or dinners this weekend, many of those
same people are to be appreciated, along
with Cheryl Van den Hende (Monterrey),
who handled liaisons
with the chef and
kitchen staff.
The program is
top-notch with a lineup of retailers that can
fill us in on what’s going on these days and
what’s ahead in the
days to come.
Clark, Thatcher,
Kristal Clark
Past President and
previous Seminar Chairman Lisa Juarez
(Cacique) are mainly responsible and the coordination and graphics are again produced
by Ed Silva (Ralphs), who makes things run
smoothly and cleanly.
And no program can be produced without healthy cash donations. All the contributors are listed on pages 12-13, but the difficult part of asking for money was handled
with aplomb by Co-Chairman Liz Wilson
(Ralphs), who led the Committee in reaching and surpassing its goal with time to
spare, which makes for a better Seminar all
around.
Others on the Sponsorship Committee
are active DDBC retailers Jim Veregge (Unified Grocers), Silvia Quiroz (Cardenas
Markets), and Melissa Griffin (Stater Bros).
Also, Laura Taketomo (Food 4 Less) did a
lot of the asking for food donations as well
as items for the Silent Auction, which is
another popular attraction of the Seminar.
Sarah Ramirez and Past President Sue
Bargsten, both of DPI Specialty Foods, have
rounded up some outstanding and unique
items for the Silent Auction as well as items
for the golf goodie bags and the welcoming
goodie bags, along with Della Frorenza
(Nasser Co., Inc.) and Jordan Francis (JTJ
Sales).
Others with fingerprints all over this
Semiar are Cynthia Yarak (Risvold’s), and
Past Presidents Rona Reeves (Acosta) and
Bill Mackie (Nasser Co., Inc.).
As you can see, there is much more behind the scenes work going on than normally
meets the eye ... and this Seminar Committee deserves a nod to their enthusiasm, energy, and competence for giving us such an
outstanding weekend.
My hat is off to them.

Everything you
need to know ...
“Success in Service” has been selected
as the theme for the 46th DDBC National
Seminar, which is scheduled to be conducted
Sept. 12-14 at the Omni La Costa Resort
and Spa in Carlsbad.
The following is what to expect during
the Seminar:
Friday
Golf
The Sixth Tisdell Cup National Deli
Scramble officially kicks off the Seminar
and this year will be played on the Legends
Course at the famed Omni La Costa Resort
course, home of one of the premier stops on
the Ladies Professional Golf Association
(LPGA) tour and long considered one of the
finest golf resorts in San Diego.
The Legends Course is more spacious
than the Champions Course, with a more
open look, while providing a complementary set of strategic challenges and a variety
of visual encounters.
Bentgrass greens have been redesigned
and enlarged from an average of 3,000
square feet to an average of 5,000 square
feet.
Greens at the first, 12th, 15th and 17th
holes have been relocated.
Every bunker has been redesigned and reconstructed, complete with new drainage
and sand (numerous bunkers have been removed).
The Legends Golf Course, previously
known as the South Course, has undergone extensive restoration and remodeling in the past two years. When the
National Seminar was held at La Costa
in 2011, this course was closed and the
Tisdell Cup National Deli Scramble was
held at a nearby course. This will be
the first time a DDBC Tournament has
been conducted at a La Costa course.
Tees have been rebuilt and reshaped to
provide more space.
Fairways feature “golfer-friendly”
paspalum – a salt-water tolerant grass that
provides favorable, cushioned lies – and
have been widened.
The annual tournament was named for
DDBC Hall of Fame member Ken Tisdell,
who was chairman of the event for a number of years. A perpetual Cup ... the Tisdell
Cup ... was added six years ago and the tournament since has been known as the “Tisdell
Cup.” The names of the winning team members are engraved on
the cup each year.
The 2011 Seminar,
was held at La Costa
but the golf tournament was held at an
outside course.
Omni Resorts is
the new owner of the
facility and is in the
final stages of upgrading all aspects of the
resort, including both the Champions and
the Legends Courses.
The Tisdell Cup is scheduled for an 11
a.m. shotgun start on Friday, Sept. 12.
Brian Stodart
Brian Stodart is an accomplished professional pianist, guitarist and vocalist. He will
provide background
entertainment at the
Friday night mixer
and dinner following
the golf tournament.
Stodart performs at a
variety of entertainment venues and ceremonies. He has performed at weddings,
Convention Centers, Downtown Disney, and
at the beach with his mobile Grand Piano.
He appeared at the DDBC’s 2011 Awards
Night in Temecula and also at previous National Seminars.
From James Taylor, The Beatles, Elton
John and Billy Joel, to Norah Jones, Kings
of Leon, Jason Mraz and Coldplay, Stodart
skillfully delivers an eclectic yet familiar
mix of the greatest singer-songwriters of the
last four decades.

Lifetime Achievement Award
Kevin Davis, Bristol Farms Markets
President/CEO has
nearly 45 years in
supermarket industry
Kevin Davis, President and CEO of
Bristrol Farms, will be presented the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Dairy Deli
Bakery Council (DDBC) of Southern California at its October membership meeting.
Davis, a longtime supporter of the
DDBC, becomes the second person this year
to receive the prestigous award, joining the
retired Eleanor Bennett (Unified Grocers),
who was honored at the May meeting of the
Council.
Davis started in the food industry in 1970
as a box boy. He joined Ralphs in 1974 and
worked all store level jobs through promotion to Store Manager in 1980.
He has encouraged employees to be active in the Council, including Pete Hejny,
who served as DDBC President in 2000, and
Robin Bell, a member of the Board of Directors for several years.
Davis also has been a keynote presenter
at past DDBC National Seminars and at
DDBC membership meetings.
Earlier this year, Davis was presented the
Robert B. Wegman Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence by the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) at FMI’s Midwinter Executive
Conference in Phoenix on Jan. 12.
Davis’ hard work, focus and early confidence were instilled in him by his parents,
but he received most of his mentoring under Ralphs executives Byron Allumbaugh,
Patrick Collins, Jim Brown and Al Marasca.
“They took me from box boy to senior
vice president of marketing; they supported
and encouraged me at college, at USC’s
Food Industry Management Program, and
later at graduate school at UCLA,” said
Davis. “In the early 1980’s there was lots of
growth and through it all, they gave me the
opportunity to be entrepreneurial, creative
and to try new things.”
In 1985, he was promoted to Assistant
District Manager and in 1986, was promoted
to District Manager. In 1986, he was promoted to Director of Sales and Advertising;
in April of 1988, to Vice President of Sales
Kevin Davis
and Advertising and in 1992, to Senior Vice
President of Marketing. His responsibilities
included sales, marketing, promotions, advertising, merchandising, pricing, public relations, marketing research & analysis, private label management and ethnic & specialty merchandising.
He left Ralphs after 21 years to become
Executive Vice President of Bristol Farms
in May of 1996. He was promoted by the
Board of Directors to President in July of
1996 and to Chairman of the Board, President and CEO on February 8, 1997.
Bristol Farms was acquired by SuperValu
several years ago, but Davis led a group to
take the company private again in 2011.
Davis continued to motivate this creative
spirit in his role invigorating the independent operator community at FMI through his
dedication to committee activities that help
his fellow, smaller store operators compete
in the food retail space. Davis is also a
prominent member of the food retail community, serving on FMI’s Board of Directors and as chairman of the 2014 Midwinter
Executive Conference.
Davis is past-chairman of the California
Grocers Association; director, past president
and currently advisory board member of the
Western Association of Food Chains; and
past chairman of Unified Grocers. He was
named Alumnus of the Year by the USC
Food Industry Management Program in
1999 and Executive of the Year in 2011.
He also is Director and Past Chairman
of California Hospital Medical Center Foundation Board; and Past President for the
Food Industry Circle at City of Hope.
Recognized early in his career in 1986
by Business Week Magazine as one of the
50 “Fast Track Kids,” Davis noted, “I was
always encouraged to do what I would do if
I owned the company, so I did, and most of
it worked. The confidence to try new things
eventually led me to Bristol Farms, where
we have grown from three stores to a multiformatted, specialty grocer operating 21
high-end, unique and successful stores.
“It hasn’t always been easy, there are ups
and downs in every business and in every
career, but I believe that good entrepreneurial leadership comes from a sense of confidence in people, and in the ability to make
the right things happen if, as a leader, you
can clearly communicate a vision that others can believe in and that you simply help
them accomplish.”
Davis attributes his greatest satisfaction
in business to maintaining the Bristol Farms’
vision of quality and service through its
people after several rounds of acquisitions
over the last 17 years.
Davis and his wife of 33 years, Cindy,
have seven children. Of course, they met in
the supermarket industry. She said, “Kevin
looks for people’s strengths and helps to
develop them to their fullest. He is encouraging and optimistic. Through the challenges which arose during the purchasing
of Bristol Farms, Kevin’s main concern was
for the people who work with him.
“His determination and knowledge grew
during the acquisition, and with each new
challenge, he believed more in Bristol’s employees and their ability to be successful
under this endeavor. Kevin is rewarded by
the dedication and longevity of the people
who work with him. He loves the grocery
industry and the life he has created for himself. We, his family, are blessed that he
shares his stories and his passions with us.”
Leader.
Mentor.
Partner.
Visionary.
Philanthropist.
Our sincere appreciation for
your many contributions to
the Dairy-Deli-Bakery Council
and the food industry.

Cheese varieties continue to grow
Move over mozzarella, there’s a new cheese in town. Indeed,
there’s a smorgasbord of exotic cheeses finding their way into meals
nationwide as food manufacturers and restauranteurs seek to satisfy consumer demand for more indulgent and healthier cheese options, according to Cheese: Natural and Specialty Cheese in the
U.S. and Global Markets, 5th Edition, a recent report by market
research publisher Packaged Facts.
Retail dollar sales in the $16 billion natural and specialty cheese
market are forecast to grow by a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 4% during 2014-2018.
“The broadening of the American palette beyond traditional favorites, cheddar and mozzarella, is driving growth of higher priced
specialty and ethnic cheeses. Consumers are generally looking for
products that are more indulgent, with new tastes and experiences,
or healthier, more nutritious indulgences that still taste good,” says
Packaged Facts research director David Sprinkle.
On the indulgent side, flavors of some newly launched cheeses
continue to be more robust, with smoky, peppery, and gourmet varieties most prevalent. On the health side, marketers have continued to promote cheese as fundamentally nutritious and good tasting, despite its high fat content. Sodium as well as fat content are
challenges to growth, and marketers have been addressing consumer health and diet concerns with better tasting reduced salt and
fat cheeses, and cheeses made from healthier milk. Various recent
healthier, better-for-you cheese launches address other needs and
desires such as low lactose/lactose free and organic ingredients.
Cheese sales have also benefitted from the snacking trend. Marketers are introducing products that cater to hectic, busy consumers looking for convenience in the form of products that are easy to
use and store while also good for on-the-go consumption. These
and other products also address the needs of the growing single or
dual household segment that wants smaller sizes that are easier and
more affordable to purchase and consume. Meanwhile, moms perhaps are the real heroes when purchasing cheese products, and they
drive sales of snack-friendly forms such as string/stick cheese given
to their kids.
CMAB joins Fuel Up to Play program in California
The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB), representing
California’s more than 1,500 dairy families, announced its activation of Fuel Up to Play 60 (FUTP 60) in California for the 20142015 school year.
Fuel Up to Play 60 is an in-school physical activity and nutrition program created by the National Dairy Council in collaboration with the National Football League. The program encourages
youth to consume low-fat and fat-free dairy products, fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains while achieving at least 60
minutes of physical activity every day.
“We know that children need a well-rounded and nutritious diet,
and one that includes dairy, to make sure that they are fueled up for
optimal learning and to sustain them through at least 60 minutes of
physical activity per school day,” said Jennifer Giambroni, Director of Communications for the CMAB.
“This is just one of the reasons we are excited to partner with
FUTP 60. Through this program, California dairy families are helping schools and students gain access to resources that will help
make children healthier, more active and create good habits for
life,” she said.
Since its launch, FUTP 60 has helped to make wellness part of
the game plan in nearly 73,000 schools across the country. Qualifying California schools participating in FUTP 60 may be eligible
for up to $4,000 for the 2014-2015 school year to help support
their health and wellness programs.
This competitive program is designed to support schools that
implement plays from the 2014-2015 edition of the Fuel Up to
Play 60 Playbook. These plays can range from creating a healthy
breakfast program in a school to coordinating the 100 Mile Club,
which challenges students to walk, jog or run 100 miles at school
in a single school year to improve their health and well-being.
With students spending approximately 180 days in school each
year and with many students receiving both breakfast and lunch at
school, school can be a place where healthy habits can be taught
and encouraged. Each FUTP 60 play is designed to complement
current fitness and wellness initiatives within schools.

According to Richard E. Goodspeed,
Unified’s board chairman, “[Brad’s] deep
expertise in manufacturing and distribution
with one of the world’s largest CPG companies will add a valuable perspective to our
board and complement the retail experience
we gained with the appointment of Rocky
Laverty in April.”
Laverty was president and CEO of
Farmer Bros. Co from 2007 to 2011 and also
served as president and CEO of Smart &
Final from 1993 to 1998.
Bob Ling, president and CEO of Unified,
said Alford’s appointment “reflects our confidence regarding the business prospects for
independent retail grocers and our commitment to serving that market. Adding two
such distinguished directors [as Alford and
Laverty] in the space of a few months only
strenghtens the overall capability of our
board.”
Sprouts
Phoenix-based Sprouts Markets will
move to new headquarters next spring. The
natural grocery chain’s new corporate headquarters will be at 5455 E. High Street in
Phoenix.
“Our new High Street office will allow
for greater collaboration and engagement
with team members and business partners,”
said Doug Sanders, president and CEO of
Sprouts. “It also will better reflect the
Sprouts brand and our commitment to
sustainability.”
Included as part of Sprouts’ 77,400square-foot headquarters will be a new
Sprouts grocery store.
Sprouts operates more than 175 stores
across 10 states.
Safeway
Safeway shareholders voted overwhelmingly at the chain’s annual meeting to approve the merger with Albertsons.
The transaction, announced in March, is
expected to close by the end of the fourth
quarter, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval.
Meeting at the chain’s headquarters in
Pleasanton, shareholders approved and
adopted the proposal for AB Acquisition
LLC, an affiliate of Boise, Idaho-based
Albertsons, to acquire Safeway. According
to Safeway, 70% of the outstanding shares
and 96% of the shares voted were in favor
of the merger.
Shareholders also approved a non-binding advisory proposal to approve a mergerrelated compensation plan for Safeway’s
top-level executive officers; and they voted
down two other measures, in line with recommendations by the board of directors:
90% said no to a proposal to label products
containing genetically modified ingredients,
and 88% voted against extending producer
responsibility.
Pending any divestitures that might be
required by the Federal Trade Commission,
the merger with Safeway would leave
Albertsons with close to 2,400 stores, including approximately 1,300 from Safeway,
with total sales approaching $60 billion.
WAFC
Jay Cummins was elected to the WAFC
Board of Directors of the Western Association of Food Chains on July 19.
Cummins is President of Kroger’s
Smith’s Food & Drug Division, based in Salt
Lake City. He is responsible for 132 Smith’s
supermarkets in Utah, Nevada, Arizona,
Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.
Cummins began
his 41-year career
with Kroger as a clerk
in 1972 in Huntington
Beach. In the following years, he served in
positions of increasing responsibility in
store and district management and in Grocery Merchandising for the Food 4 Less Division. In 2002, he was appointed vice
president and general manager of the Food
4 Less Midwest Division, where he led the
expansion of the Food 4 Less price impact
warehouse store format into the Chicago
area.
In 2004, he was tapped as President of
Kroger’s Los Angeles-based Food 4 Less
Division, which operates stores in California, Nevada, Illinois and Indiana. He became President of the Mid-Atlantic Division
of Kroger in 2007, and has served in his

July meeting of DDBC
Casino Night a tribute
to Jean Dreshner
Popular retailer remembered at
fun-raiser and fundraiser
The July meeting served as the third Dairy Deli Bakery Council
(DDBC) of Southern California Casino Night, but it also was the
first Jean Dreshner Memorial Casino Night ... and that’s the name
the event will be known as going forward.
More than $3,500 was raised through a raffle with all funds being donated to the Lymphoma Research Foundation. Dreshner died
in September 2013 of lymphona.
A group of Dreshner’s friends from the industry coordinated the
evening and chipped in to post a grand raffle prize of $1,000.
The group consisted of Irene Graves (Quest Sales & Marketing), Sue Bargsten (DPI Specialty Foods), Patti Winsell (Horizon
Sales Corp.), Sharon Fails (Nasser Co., Inc.), Janet Rice (Acosta
Foodservice) and Cindy Yarak (Risvold’s).
Members of the group, led by Graves, were winners at the DPI
food show in May at Pechanga Resort in Temecula and put their
winnings ... mostly Graves’ ... into the fund at that time.
Ironically, Graves’ ticket was drawn as the winner and she graciously donated it back to the Lymphona Research Foundation.
DDBC Hall of Famer Jim Veregge (Unified Grocers) put together a slide show that was played twice during the evening, highlighting Dreshner’s participation at many different industry events.
Attendees were able to play Black Jack, Texas Hold’Em, Roulette, and Craps throughout the evening and were given tickets for
a chance to win varied and valuable prizes.
In addition to the game prizes, there were raffle prizes besides
the grand prize available.
“This event continues to grow each year and we anticipate it
will continue to do so,” Veregge said.

DDBC function last year.
Sue Bargsten (DPI Specialty Foods), Janet Rice (Acosta
Foodservice), Patti Winsell (Horizon Sales), Cindy Yarak
(Risvold’s), Sharon Fails (Nasser Co., Inc) and Irene Graves
(Quest Sales &Marketing) worked hard to make the evening
a success.
Action stopped on the Casino floor while a slide show of
Jean Dresher, put together by Jim Veregge (Unified Grocers) was shown.

Sales) (center) and Kathie Porter (Unified Grocers) wait for

Tricia Phelps and Pilar Villasana, both of Bar-S. Villasana
began with the company on July 7.
Johnny Porter, Steve Nguyen (Unified Grocers) and Dave
Thatcher (Alta Dena) try their luck at Texas Hold’Em.
Robin Bell (Bristol Farms) and Cheryl Van den Hende
(Monterrey) were all smiles during the evening.

Down Memory Lane
Celebrating 50 years
of the DDBC News
When the first issue of “Deli News” hit the streets in 1964, a
tradition was born.
The “Deli Council of Southern California” had been formed in
1960 and grew steadily from its infancy into a full-fledged organization quite rapidly.
The name of the Council was changed to the current Dairy Deli
Bakery Council at the turn of the new millenium and the magazine
followed suit.
The Hoffman Brothers ad for smoked bacon was one of the
first for the fledging magazine, at first called “Deli World.” This
one debuted in July 1963, just months before the magazine became a regular occurance, which happened in 1964, and the name
was changed to Deli News.
The magazine was produced by a variety of editors and companies during its first quarter of a century existance and has been
produced by Pacific Rim Publishing Co., Inc. of Huntington Beach
since March 1990, meaning Editor Dave Daniel will be celebrating his 25th Anniversary with the DDBC and the magazine.
Look for a nostalgic holiday look in the year-end issue coming
up.

Alex Zamarron joined the Concept Food

He will continue to do that, as well as representing Concept’s clients, primarily in the
Hispanic independent markets,” Illingworth
said.
“Alex has a tremendous wealth of knowledge, having spent many years with Los
Altos Cheese, and before that with Lulu’s
Gelatin Company,” he added.
Zamarron can be reached at
[email protected] or [email protected].

Dave Simonson
A celebration of life for Dave Simonson,
former president of Albertsons Southern
California region, will be held September
11 at 10 a.m. at Holy Name of Mary Church
at 724 E. Bonita Ave., San Dimas, Calif.
91773.
Simonson died in late June following a
battle with dementia. He was 67.
He spent 26 years with Albertons, starting in 1978. He retired in 2004.
“Dave fought a very tough fight,” his wife
Cathie said, “waking
up each day with a
smile on his face,
frustrated by his deterioration and constantly saying ‘I can
do better.’ As his dementia advanced he
would often talk to us
like he was talking to
his team. He was at Albertsons SoCal until
the end. He missed the industry and the
people in it every day and my heart broke
for him.
“While his dementia was the result of his
bypass surgery in 2001 we realize that, because of that surgery, we were given 13
wonderful years. All of our grandchildren
have known him and that is a beautiful blessing,” she adds. “We are the family we are
today because of this extraordinary man. He
did not want to leave us and fought like hell
to stay. He had one last shot of tequila with
us, on a sponge swab, and smiled. He was
surrounded by his entire family when he
passed, wearing his USC ‘Fight On’ shirt.”
Prior to taking the helm of Albertsons in
Southern California in 2000, Simonson
served as EVP of the company’s operations
at its headquarters in Boise, Idaho. Before
that, he held a variety of operating positions
within Albertsons’ former Southern California division, including district sales manager, director of operations and VP of operations preceding the merger with American Stores Co. Simonson relocated to Boise
in 1996 as SVP and regional manager. He
was named to the EVP role in January 1999.
