2010-07-22T07:29:00.000-07:00

Jason has always known his talents go beyond events, but as so many of us experience money obligation and responsibility often lead us down a safer path.

In the past few months, Jason has landed a role as ESU SWAT DIAMOND in the film SALT, won BEST EXPERIMENTAL DOCUMENTARY for his human generosity film titled “BIRTHDAY FREE FOR ALL” at the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival (NYIIFVF), and Created/Produced/Hosted a pilot for a television show called “STEEL EARTH” that focuses on recycling abandoned machines. The best part of all these projects is Jason is funding them with money from selling classic car parts he has collected over the years on EBay.

What does Jason say about waiting till now to make his move? “If you never give up it is impossible to lose. And I would never put a ticking clock to my passions and dreams”.

Beach Tennis USA (BTUSA), the organization responsible for the sport of beach tennis in North America, today announced a strategic partnership with The International Tennis Federation (ITF), the world governing body of tennis, to expand the global development of the sport of beach tennis. Under the new agreement, BTUSA may propose tournaments for sanction by the ITF as part of the ITF Beach Tennis Tour. All sanctioned tournaments will contribute to the international player ranking system and appear on the ITF’s official tour calendar.

BTUSA, founded by New York City real estate developer Marc Altheim, launched the first pro beach tennis tour in the U.S. in 2005 and has overseen the sport’s steady domestic growth, mostly through grassroots efforts in South Florida, Southern California, Chicago, and Long Island.

“Beach Tennis USA has done a great job introducing, developing and promoting beach tennis in the U.S. since 2005 and we look forward to combining our knowledge and resources to further grow this exciting and dynamic sport in North America. With the ITF Beach Tennis Tour now in its third year we are thrilled to welcome the 2010 US National Championships onto the calendar, which will be one of only three tournaments this year to offer players maximum ranking points towards the ITF Beach Tennis World Ranking,” said Jackie Nesbitt, Head of Professional Circuits at the ITF.

“We’re very excited to be aligned with the ITF. The success of beach tennis as a truly global pro and recreational sport rests in our ability to unify the many countries and organizations currently playing, and to standardize the rules of play on an international level,” said Marc Altheim, BTUSA’s Founder and Commissioner. “This partnership with the ITF is one major step in that direction,” added Altheim.

Nyack, New York-based Q.bel Foods, makers of all-natural chocolate wafer rolls and wafer bars, today announced they will be exhibiting at the Summer Fancy Food Show on Sunday, June 27 to Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Q.bel will be announcing the addition of two new varieties to their wafer bar line: “Double Dark Chocolate 70%” (vegan) and “Mint Dark Chocolate” at Booth #4529 at the Summer Fancy Food Show, held this year at the Jacob Javits Center located at 655 West 34th Street in New York.

These healthy indulgences are perfect for anyone who wishes to enjoy a rich, decadent chocolate candy bar that is free of the chemical additives found in most commercially produced chocolate. The new flavors of chocolate wafer bars join the existing varieties, which include “Milk Chocolate”, “Dark Chocolate” and “Peanut Putter” wafer bars and wafer rolls. All Q.bel products are made with all-natural ingredients and contain no preservatives, artificial colors or flavors, hydrogenated oils, nor high-fructose corn syrup. Q.bel’s wafer bars are covered in Belgian chocolate, and the wafer rolls have a crispy cookie inside. The company plans to add additional varieties in early 2011, including a line of gluten-free Q.bel.

Q.bel all-natural wafer bars and rolls were launched in January 2009, with an initial national rollout by Whole Foods Market. Since then, many other leading retailers in the health and natural foods industries have selected Q.bel in response to consumer demand for healthier, great-tasting snacks. In the twelve months ending in December 2009, Q.bel sold over 1 million candy bars and has already attained the number one rank in the “All-Natural Chocolate Wafer” category.

Q.bel products are available nationwide in all Whole Foods Markets, many specialty and natural food stores and regional co-ops, and retail for $1.29-$1.59. For more information about Q.bel, visit www.Qbelfoods.com or follow them on Twitter at twitter.com/QbelChocolate.

San Francisco-based Adina for Life, Inc., creators of Adina beverages, today announced that Filipe Fa and Sione Fa, contestants from Season 7 of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser”, will make an appearance at Whole Foods Market Scottsdale, located at 7111 E. Mayo Blvd in Phoenix, AZ on Saturday, May 22 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The Fas will share tips on how to eat right and stay fit and prepare your bodies for beach season. The Fas, Mesa, AZ residents and cousins who lost a combined total of 255 lbs during their time on “The Biggest Loser”, have joined the Adina Team as their newest Brand Ambassadors to take a stand against the myriad of artificially sweetened, High Fructose Corn Syrup-filled beverages that proliferate the coolers of convenient stores across America.

"When I weighed 360 lbs., I never really bothered reading the labels of the beverages I drank. The calories can really add up with those super-sugary sodas and sports drinks," said Filipe Fa. "Now I'm hyper-aware of what's on the label. When I tasted Adina Holistics, I was amazed at just how much great flavor they packed into a low-sugar drink."

Adina Holistics™, like all Adina for Life beverages, were inspired by a vision of a world that “Drinks No Evil”. The company, which makes beverages for the consumer who is both health-conscious and passionate about good taste, is led by former Odwalla® founder and CEO, Greg Steltenpohl, and former SoBe® founder, John Bello.

Adina for Life, Inc. Announces $14 Million Investment Led by Dallas-Based CIC Partners

2010-04-06T10:26:00.000-07:00

San Francisco-based Adina for Life, Inc., creators of Adina beverages, today announced the completion of a $14 million round of equity financing. Leading this newest round is Dallas, TX-based CIC Partners, which includes former PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Roger Enrico, and Michael Rawlings, former President at Pizza Hut, Inc. Other investor partners include Sherbrooke Capital, Pacific Community Ventures, Good Capital, and Seraph Capital—all investors in previous rounds, as well as many of Adina’s distributor partners.

Adina for Life will utilize this newest round of investment capital to bolster national distribution of its flagship line of organic, fruit-infused herbal beverages, Adina Holistics™, which was recently named “Best Non-Carbonated Beverage” by Beverage Spectrum Magazine at the 2009 BevNet Awards. “After 10 months of due-diligence, we are confident that the strong combination of proven talent and a superior product will successfully compete in a very crowded marketplace”, said Michael Rawlings, managing partner at CIC Partners. Rawlings added that “John Bello knows how to develop and deliver what today’s consumers want.”

Adina’s management team also received a major upgrade last month with the addition of new President and Chief Operating Officer, Norman E. Snyder. Snyder served as COO at SoBe Beverage, where he worked closely with Adina for Life CEO and beverage industry icon John Bello. “Norm is a multi-faceted executive who learned the business from the ground up—a person who will add tremendous value and experience to the team,” said John Bello. Bello added that Snyder was instrumental in the growth and development of SoBe, leading up to that brand’s acquisition by PepsiCo in 2001 for $370 million. “I can’t think of anyone else better suited for this position than Norm and I’m thrilled he’s on board.”

Roger Enrico, former Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo and Chairman of Dreamworks Animation SKG, and Rawlings will assume board positions with Adina. “I’m enthusiastic about this newest venture and to be joining forces with John Bello and his team,” said Enrico. “In the changing face of today’s beverage market you win by aligning yourself with the right people…Adina has all the ingredients to rise above the competitive clutter.”

Since the company’s inception, Adina has always attracted socially responsible investment partners, including Boston-based Sherbrooke Capital, and San Francisco Bay-area groups such as Good Capital and Pacific Community Ventures. “We are excited about the potential of Adina Holistics, which represents a healthy, organic product that has broad appeal to trend-setting and responsible consumers across the country,” said Penelope Douglas, President at Pacific Community Ventures. “Adina is breaking the mold by offering great tasting, light and refreshing beverages made with all natural, Fair Trade ingredients from around the world.”

The “Drink No Evil” Team Introduces New President, Norman Snyder

San Francisco-based Adina for Life, Inc., creators of Adina beverages, today announced it will exhibit at the 2010 Natural Products EXPO West, at the Anaheim Convention Center, in Anaheim, CA. At EXPO West, Adina will unveil two new flavors in its line of 100% USDA Organic, Fair Trade, fruit-infused herbal beverages, “Adina Holistics™”—Jade Green Tea with Tulsi, and Coconut Guava with Lychee.

Joining the Adina team at Expo West are brand ambassadors and contestants from NBC’s “The Biggest Loser”, Filipe Fa and Sione Fa. The Fas will be on hand to discuss how they lost a combined 360 lbs, and how they have kept that weight off through a highly disciplined program of exercise and healthy eating and drinking habits—including the elimination of beverages containing High-Fructose Corn Syrup.

Adina’s management team also received a major upgrade this month with the addition of new President and Chief Operating Officer, Norman Snyder. Snyder, who was most recently President and Chief Executive Officer of High Falls Brewing Company, in Rochester New York, has over 15 years of senior- level management experience in the beverage industry. He also served as COO at Rheingold Brewing Company and SoBe Beverage, where he worked closely with Adina For Life CEO and beverage industry icon, John Bello.

In May of 2009, Adina For Life introduced Adina Holistics™ Herbal Elixirs in California and Northeast test-markets. By year-end, it was clear Adina had succeeded in creating a winner; defining an entirely new beverage category supported by a motivated and capable DSD network. “Holistics actually outperformed SoBe in its first year in business,” said John Bello, Adina’s acting CEO and founder of SoBe Beverage. “Holistics is on trend with what consumers and retail buyers want, while providing independent distributors with a brand that can compete in a market in need of some excitement.”

Adina Holistics™ uses adaptogenic herbal extracts known to exert a normalizing influence on the body with flavors that include: Pomegranate Acai with Yumberry, Cranberry Grapefruit with Goji, Mango Orange with Chamomile, Blackberry Hibiscus with Rooibos, Passion Peach with Amalaki. New flavors, which will launch in March 2010, include Coconut Guava with Lychee and Jade Green Tea with Tulsi.

With market earnings gained during the first eight months since Adina Holistics™ was introduced, the Adina management team made several swift modifications and enhancements to the formulas and packaging to further improve performance in 2010. Those changes included flavor and packaging improvements to give Adina Holistics™ an even more competitive taste profile, stronger shelf presence, and differentiation within the six-variety fruit-infused herbal elixir lineup. “I’m confident in all the improvements and believe we have all the pieces in place to get the monkey howling in 2010,” says Bello.

Beach Tennis USA® (BTUSA), the organization responsible for launching the pro sport of beach tennis in North America, today announced that it has adopted the use of the paddle, currently used in international competition, as the official equipment for regulation tournament play. BTUSA, who formerly promoted the use of a standard, regulation tennis racquet for use at its events, stated that the move to paddles was primarily to facilitate the unification of the many international beach tennis associations throughout Europe, South America, and Asia.

“By converting to the paddle, Beach Tennis USA will be able to work more closely with our international partners to grow the sport, both on the pro and recreational level,” said Marc Altheim, BTUSA’s Founder and Commissioner. Altheim added he believes the use of the paddle would help introduce the sport to more “non-tennis” players, allowing for beach tennis to become a more mainstream common activity for casual beachgoers.

To further its efforts in unifying the sport on a global level, BTUSA will also adopt the international court dimensions of 8 X 8 meters, and a net height of 170cm (5’ 6 ¾”).

Beach Tennis USA recently completed its fifth National Tour at the 2009 National Beach Tennis Championship, in Long Beach, NY, and plans to announce dates for its 2010 season in February. To learn more, visit www.beachtennisusa.net.

About Beach Tennis USA
Beach tennis, which was launched in the U.S. as a pro and recreational sport in 2005 by real estate developer Marc Altheim, combines tennis and beach volleyball into one exciting and fast-paced game. Now entering its sixth season, Beach Tennis USA has garnered increased attention while hosting events throughout Florida, Southern California, South Carolina, and New York. Beach Tennis USA has also gained recognition in the tennis world, attracting many former top-rated tennis players. The company continues to grow through the additions of its “BTUSA Places 2 Play” program, which helps local municipalities, hotels, beach clubs, and other interested parties to establish permanent beach tennis courts.

Purple Wedding Flowers Now Available in New Modern Collections from Bridesign.com

Many brides have wanted purple wedding flowers, but have found few options. Now brides who want natural purple flowers for their wedding have two exciting choices in new collections created for 2010 by Bridesign.com. Bridesign.com is the creator of the “wedding flower in a box” program that allows Internet-savvy brides to save 30-40% on assembled wedding flowers.

“We listened to requests from brides who wanted flowers in purple. In creating our new modern collections for 2010 we made sure to have two natural color choices in purple,” said Juanita McAllister, President of Bridesign.com.

The only flowers that come naturally in purple are Peruvian Lilies, Mini Callas, Orchids, and Carnations. Roses come in a pale lavender, but do not naturally come in the vibrant purple that many brides seek. Most industry attempts to dye roses deep purple have come with mixed satisfaction from brides, so this practice is usually avoided.

Bridesign has provided flowers for over 3,000 U.S. weddings since 2005 with a 100% satisfaction rate. The arrangements are completely assembled and ready to go right out of the box or brides can order bulk flowers.

The new Peruvian Lily collection and Mini Callas collection from Bridesign are bold and vibrant with a distinctly modern feel. Peruvian Lilies are among the most long lasting flowers; thus a perfect symbol of lasting devotion. This variety of Peruvian Lillies grown for Bridesign is particularly impressive. The bell shaped flower bodies are larger and open to a star and the colors are more vibrant. The hand-crafted collections range from an intimate 7-pieces for small weddings to 36-pieces for grand weddings and are available in purple, hot pink, light pink, red, orange, white, and yellow. This is a festive collection accented with flowing decorative ribbons.

Mini Callas represents magnificent beauty. Slivers of lily grass delicately bind the bouquets and the stems are wrapped with light elegantly decorative material that is a beautiful complement to any style of wedding gown. The hand-assembled collections are available in purple, light pink, white, orange. The orange is a particular hybrid that features yellow highlights.

Bridesign flower artisans handcraft each wedding bouquet, boutonniere, corsage, and wedding centerpiece and ship them to arrive two days before the wedding. The arrangements are completely finished. Bridesign.com is the only Internet supplier of wedding arrangements that require no assembly. The wedding flowers are still blooming in the specially engineered box. Every bouquet is assembled before shipping and timed perfectly for maximum beauty on the wedding day.

Shipped overnight by FedEx® directly to the bride’s home or wedding destination, the wedding flowers are transported with the stems inserted into individual water tubes, the hand-crafted arrangements are cradled in special interior packing, and each item is strapped in with velcro-like seatbelts. The patented box Bridesign.com created to protect the flower arrangements is a game changer in the wedding industry for brides seeking fresher, more affordable wedding flowers.

Bridesign.com offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee and maintains a double back-up system. By delivering two days before the wedding, if anything does not meet the bride’s satisfaction, Bridesign.com can overnight another order. Should something still not meet her satisfaction, Bridesign.com maintains a relationship with 19,000 same-day U.S. florists, who will fulfill the order or any remaining parts of the order at Bridesign.com’s cost. The result has been 100% of Bridesign.com’s weddings have had beautiful wedding flowers on their wedding day.

Nyack, New York-based Q.bel Foods, makers of all-natural chocolate wafer rolls and wafer bars, today announced the addition of two new varieties to their wafer bar line: “Double Dark Chocolate 70%” (vegan) and “Mint Dark Chocolate”. These healthy indulgences are perfect for anyone who wishes to enjoy a rich, decadent chocolate candy bar that is free of the chemical additives found in most commercially produced chocolate.

The new flavors of chocolate wafer bars join the existing varieties, which include “Milk Chocolate”, “Dark Chocolate” and “Peanut Putter” wafer bars and wafer rolls. All Q.bel products are made with all-natural ingredients and contain no preservatives, artificial colors or flavors, hydrogenated oils, or high-fructose corn syrup. Q.bel’s wafer bars are covered in Belgian chocolate, and the wafer rolls have a crispy cookie inside. The company plans to add additional varieties in the spring of 2010.

The Q.bel product line was launched in January 2009, with an initial national rollout by Whole Foods. Since then, the product line has been selected by many leading retailers in the health and natural foods industry. In the twelve months ended December 2009, Q.bel sold over 1 million candy bars and has already attained the number one rank in the “All-Natural Chocolate Wafer” category.

Q.bel is available nationwide in all Whole Foods Markets and many specialty stores and retails for $1.29-$1.59. For more information about Q.bel, visit www.QbelFoods.com or follow them on Twitter at www.twitter.com/QbelChocolate.

Adina Holistics Wins BevNet "Best of 2009"

2009-12-09T08:34:00.000-08:00

Holistics Wins Best Non-Carbonated Beverage!

Adina’s Holistics line is poised to do what many brands have for the past decade struggled to do: fill the giant shoes left by the likes of SoBe. Sure, they needed a heavy dose of John Bello, SoBe’s founder and now Adina’s CEO, to do it, but it works. The brand that Bello, along with Adina founder Greg Steltenpohl, have created blends just the right ingredients, including high quality flavor, great packaging, and an irreverent monkey character into something that’s fun and on point with what the mainstream but “trying to be healthy” consumer is looking for.

Filmmaker J. Paris To Screen "Birthday Free For All" at New York International Independent Film & Video Festival

2009-10-28T10:17:00.000-07:00

Award-winning filmmaker J. Paris will screen his new documentary, “Birthday Free For All”, at the New York International Film and Video Festival, Thursday, October 29, at 10:00 p.m., at Village Cinema East, 181 Second Ave, in Manhattan. The film chronicles Paris’ birthday, where he tests the limits of human generosity among the strangers he encounters during the 24-hour adventure.

Cruising the streets of New York and New Jersey in a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Paris and crew cross paths with a myriad of unusual characters, ranging from the seemingly ordinary to the delightfully macabre, in quest of obtaining as much free stuff as possible.

“This film definitely proves that the best things in life are free! The generosity of the human spirit will never cease to amaze. We received everything from donuts, scratch off lotto tickets, a watch, free car wash, sniper rifle bullets—the list goes on and on,” said Producer/Director/Writer, J. Paris. Paris also won acclaim last month at the Cinema City International Film Festival, in Los Angeles, taking the Best TV Pilot Award for his new show, “Auto Archaeology”.

Adina for Life, Inc., creators of Adina beverages, today announced that Filipe Fa and Sione Fa, contestants from last season’s “The Biggest Loser” on NBC, have joined the Adina Team as their newest Brand Ambassadors to promote the launch of “Adina Holistics™”, the company's new line of organic, herbal beverages.

"When I weighed 360 lbs., I never really bothered reading the labels of the beverages I drank. The calories can really add up with those super-sugary sodas and sports drinks," said Filipe Fa. "Now I'm hyper-aware of what's on the label. When I tasted Adina Holistics, I was amazed at just how much great flavor they packed into a low-sugar drink."

Adina For Life Declares Holistic Warfare
At 2009 NACS Show
Adina Holistics—New Line of Organic, Herbal Elixirs and
“Biggest Losers” Filipe Fa and Sione Fa Lead the Charge
Against Artificial, HFCS-Ladened Beverages.
Drink No Evil!

San Francisco-based Adina for Life, Inc., creators of Adina beverages, today announced its participation at the NACS Show 2009 in Las Vegas, NV on October 20-23, where it will mount an aggressive awareness campaign to promote the launch of its new line of herbal elixirs, “Adina Holistics™”. Taking a stand against the myriad of artificial, High Fructose Corn Syrup-filled beverages that proliferate the coolers of convenient stores across America, Adina Holistics is inspired by a vision of a world that “Drinks No Evil”.

The Adina management team, comprised of seasoned beverage industry veterans that include the Founders of Odwalla® and SoBe®, have created the new line of herbal beverages specifically for consumers who live healthy and active lifestyles, in search of better tasting, better-for-you choices.

“This year’s NACS Show is a great forum for us to champion the ideal that consumers are demanding healthier beverage choices—not just at the health food stores and gyms, but at the corner deli and gas station,” said Greg Steltenpohl, Co-Founder of Adina for Life, Inc. Steltenpohl, who recently brought in SoBe Beverage founder John Bello as Adina’s Acting CEO, will also be on hand at the NACS Show to unveil the new line.

Joining the Adina team at the NACS Show are newly appointed Adina Brand Ambassadors and contestants from season seven of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser”, Filipe Fa and Sione Fa, who will be on hand to sign autographs throughout the show. “When I weighed 360 lbs., I never really bothered reading the labels of the beverages I drank. The calories can really add up with those super-sugary sodas and sports drinks,” said Filipe Fa. “Now I’m hyper-aware of what’s on the label. When I tasted Adina Holistics, I was amazed at just how much great flavor they packed into a low-sugar drink.”

Acknowledging the growing awareness and acceptance of holistic and natural health by U.S. consumers, “Adina for Life” created the line of Holistic drinks that tap into the 5,000-year-old “emerging trend” of Ayurveda. Adina Holistics™ are infused with adaptogenic herbal extracts known to exert a normalizing influence on the body with flavors that include: “Honey Lemon Aloe”, “Mango Orange Chamomile”, “Blackberry Hibiscus”, “Peach Amalaki” and “Honey Eucalyptus” in addition to the new flavors that were launched last month, “Grapefruit Goji” and “Pomegranate Açaí”.

Adina Holistics™ follows the recent successful launch of Adina “Natural Highs™” coffee energy drinks which received the “Best of 2008” award from BevNet.com, Inc., the leading beverage industry publisher. “Natural Highs™” is available in five flavors: “Carmel Kick”, “Vanilla Nutcase”, “Mocha Madness” and “Double Xxpresso”.

Adina Holistics™ was launched in May 2009 in two strategic markets; California and throughout New England with a strong DSD network, many of which collaborated with Adina in the development of the products and packaging. As of September 2009, distribution has expanded to the Midwest in states such as Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, as well Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. The company also plans to distribute to locations in New York in late October 2009.

About Adina for Life:
Adina for Life, Inc., is led by a pioneering team of entrepreneurs from Odwalla®, and SoBe®. Inspired by the founder vision to create a world that “Drinks No Evil,” these industry innovators came together to grow Adina and change the way the world does business—one drink at a time. The company is dedicated to producing great-tasting, better-for-you fair trade beverages, using only natural and/or USDA organic, directly sourced ingredients from around the world.

Adina natural beverages has three product lines: its newest Adina Holistics™, launched in spring 2009; Natural Highs Coffee Energy; Adina Tribal Blends, an organic fair trade line of exotic gourmet coffees and tea, launched in late 2007.

Lee Whitwell and Joslynn Burkett Sweep Competition

The 2009 Beach Tennis USA National Championship produced two days of exciting, fast-paced action. For the first time ever, the National Championship in the United States featured a “Paddle Battle” in addition to the regular racquet competition. On Saturday, September 5, teams from all over the world competed using paddles, rather than conventional tennis racquets. The European athletes in attendance, who have played with paddles for years, were the teams to beat in this tournament. In the Men’s Pro division finals, it was two Italian teams that would square off: Gianluca Chirico and Massimo Mattei (Ravenna, IT) versus Maurizio DiCori and Emanuele Bianchedi (Ravenna, IT). Both teams are very familiar with the sport of beach tennis, having competed in over 100 tournaments in Italy, combined. Although DiCori and Bianchedi were new-comers to American sand, it was no detriment to their game, as they defeated Chirico and Mattei 8-5. Over on the Ladies Pro Division, the finals match consisted of two Southern California teams, Lee Whitwell and Joslynn Burkett (San Diego, CA) versus Lucy Streeter and Kristen Flagler (Hermosa Beach, CA). Flagler and Streeter knocked out Nadia Johnston (Long Beach, NY) and Nicole Melch (Cresskill, NJ) in the semi-finals to advance, however they were no match for the duo from San Diego as they easily captured the first Paddle Battle title by a score of 8-4.

Sunday, September 6 featured the tennis racquet version of the 2009 Beach Tennis USA National Championship. In the Men’s Pro Division, the two-time defending champions Matteo Marighella and Alex Mingozzi (Ravenna, IT) advanced to the finals to face off against former national champions Chris Henderson and Phil Whitesell (Charleston, SC). Henderson and Whitesell, who won titles in 2005 and 2006, were eager to defeat the Italians and bring the trophy back to the U.S. In dramatic fashion, the pair of Americans stunned the crowd as they delivered powerful serves, which was enough to defeat the seemingly unbeatable Italian team, 8-6. In the Ladies Pro Division, it was the duo from San Diego, CA yet again who would advance to the finals. Lee Whitwell and Joslynn Burkett would face the hometown hero, Nadia Johnston, and her partner, Nicole Melch, who have been unstoppable in the tournaments in which they competed this season. The only thing fiercer than competition was the wind that made it very difficult to serve the ball. But the Ladies battle through and seemed to be on par since a tiebreaker set was necessary. The San Diego team proved to be too much for Melch and Johnston as they gained and maintained momentum in the tiebreaker set to win it, 9-8(5). Whitwell and Burkett cleaned up in Long Beach, NY, winning both the Paddle Battle finals and the 2009 Beach Tennis National Championship.
