June is Hot Dog Month
Hot dogs and baseball still go together
Cleveland’s classic
Sugardale hot dog
Crowned Winner in
MLB Contest
Like a Turkey on Thanksgiving, hot dogs
are the quintessential summer ballpark food,
and the National Hot Dog and Sausage
Council (NHDSC) estimates that baseball
fans will consume more than 18.5 million
hot dogs and nearly 4.2 million sausages
during the 2015 Major League season. The
combined hot dog and sausage total could
stretch from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia to Chase Field in Phoenix. The hot
dog total alone would reach as high as 7,827
Empire State Buildings.
“It’s no surprise that hot dogs and sausages continue to hit a home run with fans,”
said Eric Mittenthal, NHDSC vice president
of public affairs. “Hot dogs remain the No.
1 concession at ballparks, as teams offer innovative creations along with classic favorites to appeal to all tastes.”
The Dodgers can relish in victory as the
team’s fans are once again projected to consume the most hot dogs, totaling more than
2.5 million.That is enough to round the
bases at Dodger Stadium 3,551 times, and
based on last year’s attendance, means that
66 percent of fans at Dodger home games
will eat a hot dog.
The New York Yankees have come from
behind to reclaim the second spot, as fans
are expected to consume more than 1.5 million hot dogs. Batting third are the Cleveland Indians at 1,252,463 hot dogs, followed closely behind by the Texas Rangers
with 1,024,559 anticipated hot dog sales.
The Chicago Cubs round out the lineup of
top hitters, with fans expected to consume
more than 855,000 hot dogs, representing a
21 percent increase over last year.
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers
have reclaimed the top spot as sausage
champions, expected to sell 480,000 this
season, which is enough to run the team’s
famous Klement’s Sausage Race 380 times.
The Brewers are the only team in baseball
expected to sell more sausages than hot
dogs. The reigning major league champs,
Hot dogs dressed as regional favorites across the country.
the San Francisco Giants, nearly clinched
the top position, but came up short with
450,000 projected sausage sales. The Boston Red Sox pitched a curve ball, as last
year’s sausage champ fell to third place.
Despite the drop, Fenway Fans are still expected to eat 327,500 sausages this year.
Hot Dog Rookies
While perennial hot dog favorites remain
staples at ballparks across America, teams
are launching new creations that are sure to
be all-stars, including:
• Chips and Dip Dog: This natural casing dog topped with French onion dip, potato chips and chopped green onions is sure
to please any Detroit Tigers fan.
• Mac and Cheetos Dog: Cubs fans can
enjoy this innovative creation with mac and
cheese and Cheetos atop a Vienna hot dog.
• The Thomenator: The Indians are paying homage to Jim Thome with a 10-inch,
all-beef hot dog topped with diced onions,
Sauerkraut and three Pierogies
• South Philly Dog: The Phillies are
bringing together classic Philadelphia flavors with a hot dog topped with roasted red
peppers, sharp provolone and broccoli rabe
• Cuban Pretzel Dog: Pittsburgh Pirate
fans should come hungry to eat this footlong, all-beef hot dog that features slices of
ham, pulled pork, Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard and pickles, all wrapped in pretzel
hoagie roll.
Best in Baseball
Following more than two weeks of spirited competition, the Cleveland Indians’
Sugardale Dog has been crowned America’s
baseball hot dog champion, according to
results from the NHDSC’s MLB Madness
Bracket contest. Classic and unique hot
dogs squared off in the contest, and fans
voted for their favorite dog in polls on the
NHDSC Facebook page.
Despite claiming victory in the unique

47th DDBC National Seminar
Homage to 9-11 added to program
Highly decorated
veteran applies his
training in speaking
Thomas Cleary, founder and CEO of
Marksmen Leadership, has joined the program as a keynote speaker at the 47th DDBC
National Seminar, which is scheduled for
Sept. 11-13 at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott
in Dana Point.
“The date of this year’s Seminar coincides with 9-11 in our country’s history and
the Seminar Committee wanted to acknowledge the date by offering an insider’s look
at our recent military history,” said Laura
Taketomo (Food 4 Less), General Chairman
of the Seminar.
“Besides hearing Cleary’s comments, attendees will have the opportunity of helping our service members overseas by creating gift boxes of personal items donated to
the cause,” Taketomo said. “These will be
shipped to our military personnel around the
world.”
Donations for razors, toothbrushes,
travel-sized soap bars, wet wipes, cotton
swabs, CDs, and beef and cheese stick
snacks already have been secured with more
donations on the way, according to
Taketomo.
Cleary joins previously announced
speakers from the food industry on the dais.
Greg McNiff (Senior VP Merchandising &
Marketing for Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions),
Valerie Jabbar (Vice President, Marketing
for Ralphs Grocery Co.), and celebrity chef
Aarón Sánchez, have been announced previously.
Thomas Cleary
“Cleary offers the perfect combination
of leadership and teamwork, which ties into
our theme,” Taketomo said. “It takes a ton
of both to operate in the military.”
Cleary comes with more than 26 years
of serving his country with military training, leadership and combat experience as
an active duty United States Marine and as
an Army Reservist. With more than 10 different occupational and leadership advancement schools attended, Cleary includes the
elements of Special Operations and Military Police to bring leadership higher and
faster with a stronger scope of personal
strengths.
As a highly decorated Veteran, Thomas
has been awarded 30 medals, ribbons and
commendations, as well as an expert rifle
and pistol badge, while serving in various
military and combat operations, to include
OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom).
His loyalty to his country and his training continues to assist, promote, challenge
and train him personally and lead others successfully. He also served as a law enforcement officer for 20 years, with more than
50 training and leadership courses completed throughout his career. He has worked
various assignments and was recognized as
a standout officer receiving 82 Commen-
dations, ribbons, citations and letters of
appreciation while working for the California Department of Corrections, Los Angeles Police Department and Newport Beach
Police Department.
Currently, he is teaching college courses
and assists the college with online classes,
advanced degrees, course development, curriculum and syllabi, as a member of the
advisement board.
With his extensive background, he has
observed the need for leading those who are
facing adversity within the workplace or in
life. He has seized the opportunity to continue to serve others, which he has turned
into a business and book called “Marksmen
Leadership.”
As a personal expert marksman and firearms/tactics instructor, he brings 7 elements
of marksmanship and transforms them into
7 Principles of Leadership. In his book, he
shares an in-depth perspective on each area
of Leadership, using those 7 principles. Just
as in marksmanship, if you practice these
principles, you will hit your target and meet
your goals of improving in the area of leadership.
He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Leadership and Development,
graduating Cum Laude. He is currently enrolled at Vanguard University, where he is
working toward a Master’s in Leadership,
with the goal of obtaining a Doctorate.
He was born and raised in Los Angeles.
He has been married to his high school sweetheart for 25 years. They have four children.
The Seminar will officially kick off with
the Ken Tisdell National Deli Scramble golf
tournament on Friday at the prestigious
Monarch Beach Golf Club.
The golf awards will be presented at the
welcoming get-together Friday evening.
Business sessions will be conducted Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday night’s
dinner will feature entertainment and dancing to the band “Quest.”
“This year’s seminar will be “resort
casualwear” dress for all events. Dress to
impress or dress to be comfy, excluding
bathing suits – we want everyone to enjoy
the relaxed beachside location in their own
way,” Taketomo said.

ALDI has plans to enter California
German-owned discount grocery chain
ALDI plans to continue its U.S. expansion
with 45 new stores in Southern California
over the next year, according to an announcement on June 11.
A company spokesman said that the new
outlets would be open by the end of 2016,
creating about 1,100 jobs.
A regional headquarters and distribution
center will be built in Moreno Valley, about
60 miles east of Los Angeles.
The expansion is part of a $3 billion plan
to add 650 new stores across the nation.
The company opened its first U.S. store
in 1976 and now says it has nearly 1,400
locations across 32 states.
ALDI is known for its focus on bulk purchasing and own-brand products.
The U.S. operation is part of a privately
held German company Aldi Sued. It is the
same company that operates the Trader Joe’s
chain.
Raley’s
Jim and Joyce Raley Teel have announced they will transfer majority owner-
ship of Raley’s Family of Fine Stores to
their son, Michael Teel, the company’s
President & CEO. The Teel’s four daughters will continue to hold minority ownership. Transitioning to a third generation of
family ownership is an important step in
keeping Raley’s a family-owned company
and Northern California business leader.
In a letter to Raley’s employees, Jim and
Joyce Teel stated, “This is a significant accomplishment, as fewer than 12 percent of
family businesses transition to a third generation. With Mike’s passion and vision, we
have great faith he will guide and grow the
business for future generations.”
The Teel family is committed to continuing family ownership of the company for
generations to come. This transition ensures
the continued presence of a strong familyowned business, one of the largest privately
held companies in the Sacramento area, that
contributes positively to the region’s
economy and community.
“My grandfather saw the potential in this
area 80 years ago,” Mike Teel said, “I want
to continue that legacy, and continue to in-
vest in the Sacramento region. It’s poised
for growth and so are we. This is our home,
and we’re here to stay.”
Mike Teel will own 92 percent of the
company and become majority owner, with
his sisters equally sharing the remaining
eight percent. Other details of the deal are
a private family matter.
Over the last decade, Raley’s has focused
on expanding products that customers want
more of, including organic and natural food
offerings. Under Mike Teel’s direction,
Raley’s will continue to expand healthy offerings for customers with a focus on quality customer service.
“I am honored to take Raley’s into the
third generation of family leadership. This
is an exciting time for the company, our
team members and for me,” said Mike Teel.
“I’m very proud, as my parents were, when
they took on the responsibility of leading
this company. I look forward to working
with my sisters and the entire Raley’s team
to honor our parents’ and our grandfather’s
legacy.”

DDBC Happenings
City of Hope to be honored at July meeting
A tribute to the City of Hope will be the
focus of the July membership meeting of
the Dairy Deli Bakery Council (DDBC) on
July 7 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Garden Grove.
“The DDBC has been a huge supporter
of the City of Hope since our inception in
1960 and the relationship has flourished
ever since,” said Susan Steele, Executive
Diretor.
Over the years, the food industry has supported the City of Hope through its various
industry committees and the Southern California Food Industry Circle has helped to
raise more than $145 million in support of
the City of Hope in the past 40 years.
Dr. Joseph Alvernas will be the featured
guest speaker. Dr. Alvernas has worked at
the City of Hope’s Banner Transplant Program, which he helped co-found.
Dr. Alvernas is a national co-chair for
two Bone Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Networks, which studies stem cell transplantation in HIV infected patients, along
Dr. Joseph Alvernas, City of Hope
with many other committees and boards.
There will be a special Silent Auction
with the proceeds going to the City of Hope
and the DDBC Scholarship Fund.
In addition, two Big Cheese Award honorees will be presented. They are Luke
Abbott (Monterrey – The Natural Choice),
who was profiled in the May-June issue,
and Emily Aguilar (Daisy Brand), who also
was profiled in the May-June issue.
Big Cheese Award winners for the remainder of the year are:
September: Robert Burke (Advantage
Action).
October: Damian Valdez (Super King
Markets).
November: Connie Thatcher (Advantage
Sales & Marketing).
December: Melissa Griffin (Stater Bros.)
There is no meeting in December. Her
award will be presented at the November

Officers will be held Jan. 9 at Orange Hill

May Meeting of DDBC
A two-fold purpose at Casino Night
The second Jean Dreshner Memorial
Casino Night and Mixer had a two-fold
purpose in May ... to honor one of the more
active retailers in the Dairy Deli Bakery
Council (DDBC) of Southern California,
and to have some fun while raising funds
for the Lymphoma Foundation.
The gathering gave the DDBC members
in attendance the opportunity to meet many
members of the Dreshner family, including
her husband, Bob Hernandez. Siblings
Larry Dreshner, Jan Dreshner Hornstein,
and Vivian Dreshner Hopkins, also were on
hand, as well as their spouses and other family members.
Brother-in-law Rich Hornstein, along
with his wife, Jan, Larry Dreshner, and
Hernanez also spoke briefly.
Program Chairman Jim Veregge (Unified
Grocers), a former co-worker of Dreshner’s,
presented a slide show, featuring Dreshner
in dozens of photos from DDBC events.
Dreshner was a regular at DDBC golf
tournaments and several photos of her on
various golf courses were shown, prompting her brother to comment, “From the looks
of this, you might think that Jean was a professional golfer. She was far from that,” he
said with a laugh.
A flash drive was presented to the family following its presentation.
The remainder of the evening consisted
of approximately three hours of Casino entertainment, featuring Black Jack tables,
roulette, craps, and Texas Hold’em games.
Winners collected tickets in proportion
to their amount of winnings and were able
to place them in raffles for a wide variety
of prizes donated by member companies.
There also was a bountiful buffet of
Mexican foods in honor of Cinco de Mayo,
which has become a tradition of DDBC
meetings held in May ... even those meetings falling after May 5.

DPI Specialty Foods Show
Western theme attracts crowds
A western theme saw throngs of people mosey-ing through the
DPI Specialty Foods show in May at the Pechanga Resort in
Temecula.
The show has grown in the number of vendors and visitors over
the years. A golf tournament was played the following day.
A new attraction this year was an impressive showing of displays, also known as shippers. Many manufacturers are providing
extra shelf space to supermarkets and grocery stores with the use
of shippers, which is a self-contained display case that can be used
anywhere there is available floor space.
Many of the vendors displaying their wares were in the spirit of
the Western theme, outfitting their booths ... and themselves ... in
appropriate cowboy and cowgirl get-up.
The show has outgrown its orginal space in one of the Pechanga
ballrooms and took over lobbies and exterior hallways to
accomodate everyone who wanted to take part.

Hot dogs are still a home run
Continued from Page 6
dog half of the bracket, the Texas Rangers’
Boomstick struck out in the bottom of the
ninth to earn second place. The Atlanta
Braves’ Dixie Dog and the Detroit Tigers’
Coney Dog rounded out the final four.
Indians fans clearly love their hot dog
as they turned out in droves to vote,” said
Mittenthal. “It’s not only a classic dog, but
the Indians also offer the local Bertman’s
mustard to top it with, making for a perfect
ballpark experience.”
Fans who voted in all 15 matchups won
a free NHDSC t-shirt, while the participant
who shared the polls with the most people
on Facebook received a gift card for their
favorite hot dogs or sausage.
