Citizens group fights city’s new rentals proposal
Cheers for Mission Bay’s home opener
If STVR allowed in residential zones, it may violate the city’s general plan The City of San Diego has been put on notice by citizens group Save San Diego Neighborhoods that if the mayor and City Council intend to change the city’s municipal code to allow short-term vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods, it must comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On Tuesday, Sept. 8, Save San Diego Neighborhoods’ attorneys delivered a letter with the notice and The new Mission Bay High School cheerleaders perform at the first Friday night game in their new stadium.

After a few fumbles, Friday night lights shine bright at MBHS About five minutes before the kickoff of the Mission Bay Buccaneers game against the West Hills Wolf Pack on Aug. 28, players wandered about on the sideline, cheerleaders were still figuring where to stand, and the bleachers were only about half full. Everything felt tentative. But there's bound to be a little confusion when a school plays its first Friday night game under the lights at its brand new stadium. Unfortunately, that apprehension filtered onto the field as the Bucs first half was
marred by fumbles, penalties and miscommunication and a 13-3 deficit at the half. But then after the sun had set and the team had burst through the cheerleaders' banner to start the second half, everything came together. The Buccaneers scored 33 unanswered points, the cheerleaders jumped and screamed, and the fans found out that stomping on the shiny new bleachers could create a cacophony of sound. In the end, the team earned a season-opening win, and the school's new sports complex shined in the night – a beacon for Buccaneers to follow. – THOMAS MELVILLE
By DAVE SCHWAB You’ve heard of the better mousetrap? A Pacific Beach couple have recently come up with their own innovation: a better flytrap. Dennis and Joylyn Darnell were sitting in the kitchen of their North PB home about a year ago when Dennis, an engineering graduate from UC San Diego, had the proverbial “light bulb” go up over his head. “Dennis really hates flies,” said wife Joylyn, pointing out Dennis had “tinkered” with developing flytraps previously and

Saúde! Brazilian Day festa on Sunday in Pacific Beach By DAVE SCHWAB The eighth annual Brazilian Day San Diego, on Sunday, Sept. 13, will dazzle with a parade, live music and a street fair featuring Brazilian products and cuisine on the streets of Pacific Beach. A carnival-style parade with vibrant floats, extravagant costumes and energetic music starting at 3 p.m. is the highlight of the festival. There will also be nonstop entertainment on two stages, including musical bands and dance ensembles. A food court with a vendors exhibition and a kids zone will round out festivities. The festival is being conducted between Bayard and Everts streets, just one block from the beach, and will cover five blocks along lively Garnet Avenue. The event provides a day for the entire community to come together to embrace the cultural flavors, sounds and arts of Brazil. Two stages full of attractions will bring some of the best Brazilian artists and performers throughout California as well as several artists direct from Brazil. Billed as the biggest Brazilian Day on the West Coast, event director Paulo Batuta promised San Diego’s version will bring the “spirit of Brazil” to the beachfront. He added

the culturally inspired affair will be better than ever this year. “We’re going to have better costumes and more floats,” Batuta said, noting there will be a new type of cuisine, acaraje, deep-fried blackeyed peas from West Africa and Brazil, served this year in the event’s
food court. Batuta noted the 13th is expected to be hot, which he said reminds him of the South American country and is sure to help bring a “Brazilian vibe” to PB. “Brazilians refer to San Diego as the Rio de Janeiro of the United

States,” said Batuta, noting Mission Bay’s geography with its beaches and bays is similar to Rio, which is known for its carnivals, samba dance music, Sugarloaf mountain and Christ the Redeemer statue landmarks. “San Diego is one of the best
places for Brazilians to come, many of whom live here,” added Batuta. The theme for the 2015 Brazilian Day parade is “The Olympic Spirit,” referring to Rio de Janeiro, which will play host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Festivities will also include a kids zone with face painting, inflatables and activities led by “Nos de Chita,” a performing arts group that involves children in storytelling, body percussion and games. This year, the Brazilian Day event will be broadcast live by Terra.com, one of the leaders in online Latino media, with a presence in 19 countries, including Brazil, the U.S., Mexico and Spain. The eighth annual Brazilian Day San Diego, street fair, and parade is the second largest Brazilian festival in the U.S. attracting nearly 50,000 attendees annually. It is free and open to the public. Brazilian Day is produced by Brazilian Institute for Arts and Culture, a local nonprofit organization. For information, visit braziliandaysandiego.com.

Business Liquid Foundation – a quaint local surf shop with a great vibe in Mission Beach By DAVE SCHWAB
The shop's super-long ‘shark’ board, which was shaped by Marty Allen, with the image of a shark on its nose, sells for $1,200. PHOTO BY DAVE SCHWAB
When it comes to serving the local aquatic community, Liquid Foundation is squarely on solid ground. “It’s always been a board shop, all about surfing,” said the Mission Beach company’s president, Matthew Gardner, who also owns Cheap Rentals nearby, which now offers monthly memberships. “It’s not just a big corporate place,” said Gardner of his updated boutique. “It’s just a great local surf shop that you really feel good going into. I loved that vibe about it.” Liquid Foundation is a surf boutique carrying custom-made boards from four renowned shapers. It offers full lines of men’s and women’s surfwear and carries accessories for dogs, including a line of “Barking Dog” socks, from which a portion of proceeds goes to support the San Diego Humane Society. “We really stand behind brands with important causes,” noted Gardner. Gardner finally took over the business in February of 2014 after having been approached repeatedly to do so by the previous owner. “He really sweetened the deal

with a better price, a different layout,” Gardner said, adding, “I would have hated to see it (Liquid Foundation) go. So I jumped at the chance to jump in and keep it alive and revamp and revitalize a lot of the aspects that make LF unique.” One thing Gardner changed was Liquid Foundation’s image. “Before, it had that biker-bad-boy kind of image,” he said. “I cleaned up the image, made it a little more family- and community-friendly. We’re trying to be a little more inclusive of the everyday kind of person.” The company features numerous high-profile, topflight brands like Reef, Electric, Sector 9 and GoPro. One section offers Reef sandals of every size for every age. Another section is devoted to GoPro action, sport-oriented waterproof still and video cameras that can be mounted on surfboards or on surfers themselves. Items are in the $250 to $500 range.

“(The cameras) come with all sorts of different accessories, depending on what else you want to do,” Gardner said, adding the cameras and their mounts “float in the water.” Near GoPro is a rack of floating, polarized sunglasses made from recycled materials. In the back are the custom-made surfboards, a cornerstone of the shop’s business. Shapers include Marty Allen, of Australia, and Jim Ellington, of San Diego, who’s been designing and shaping boards since 1976. “Jim got his start on the North Shore of Oahu,” Gardner said, “and he’s always been right here in Mission Beach. Everybody knows him. He’s a classic guy and makes a very nice, clean, sharp surfboard.” Also on hand is a surfboard line from North County, called Kailani. Surfboards are typically in the $450 to $550 price range. The shop's Cadillac surfboard is a super-long “shark” board shaped by Allen, with the image of a shark on its nose, selling for $1,200. Liquid Foundation also has a rack of trendy Sector Nine skateboards. Gardner noted that skateboarding is an important crossover business for him. Also carried are complete lines of board shorts; thin, stretchable, quick-drying T-shirts; and fulllength wetsuits, all of which, Gardner noted, are “comfortable and easy to wear when you’re out surfing.” Gardner has a dream for what he’d like Liquid Foundation to become. “We have big goals in mind with our new wholesale line,” he said. “We want to get our brands inside of (surf) shops, yet still keep that local vibe. That’s the difficult goal we’re trying to accomplish through our wholesale line; not just selling more products that everybody else has, but giving people a choice that makes them feel like they’re shopping (somewhere) that touches them on a more personal basis. That’s what I want to try and convey.”

bill that also includes the Hard Fall Hearts, Dice For Lights and The Triggers. While the Redondo Beach based Darlings have never scored a hit, they have attracted a diehard audience with hook-filled rock tunes and manic shows somehow managing to meld a sound somewhere between the Buzzcocks and Social Distortion. If you haven’t caught them yet, this tenth anniversary tour is the perfect excuse – but make sure to get there early, the openers are well worth hearing as well.
On Friday, Sept. 18, blues and jazz combo Blue Largo hosts a release party for their latest album. Led by guitarist Eric Lieberman, the band has been a local club mainstay since their formation in 1999, their bright, brash take on swing music in particular being popular with local dancers. The latter point is important, as this is not a band for just background listening per se but one you will get the most enjoyment of when you can get up close and feel the energy.

Featuring her classic take on the song “Sabor A Mi,” the album became an instant standard and remains the best selling album in the legendary stars catalog. On Sept. 12, Dizzy’s will host a special tribute concert dedicated to the music of Edie Gorme y El Trio Los Panchos, featuring singer Gabriela Bojórquez, pianist Roberto Salomón and Gabo Núñez on bass as well as local percussion virtuoso Charlie Chávez. A perfect date-night event, the evening will focus on romantic Latin classics, but this is no mere nostalgic trip.

With a slew of hit tunes, it’s no surprise that tribute bands have sprung up around the world in their honor, including San Diego’s own, Blink 180True, who perform at the 710 Beach Club on Sept. 18. No surprises are likely to be included in the night’s repertoire, just the hits, from “What’s My Name Again” to “I Miss You.” Blink 182 is apparently about to embark on the next chapter in their story with new guitarist Matt Skiba, so this show will be a fun summation of the band’s successful first act.

Ask Ask The The Trust Trust & & Estate Estate Attorney Attorney Question:
SM
When do I need to do a probate and how long does it take?
A probate may need to be done when someone dies to take the title or ownership of the asset from the decedent, the person that has passed away, and distribute it to the heirs. If someone dies with real estate in their own name alone, then you must do a probate. A timeshare only will probably not need a probate. In the event that the title or deed to the real estate says “tenants in common” with 2 or more persons names listed, then there will be a probate of that interest.
Answer:
A bank account, brokerage account, or stocks valued at the date Virginia Weber of death of over $150,000, will need to be probated if there are Laskowitz no beneficiaries or other name listed on the account. If there is Estate Attorney another name on these assets and that person has also died, you have to do a probate. If there is a life insurance policy with no surviving or beneficiary listed, then a probate it is, if it is valued at over $150,000. If you add up all these assets and it is over $150,000, you must do a probate. A probate takes a year or more of work in court to be completed. The filing fees and costs, excluding attorneys fees are over $1,500.00. On an estate that is $150,000, the attorneys fees and administrators fees will each be $5,500.00. That brings the total minimum cost of a probate to $12,500.00. Probate is expensive and that is why you must consider a living trust!! Call me for a free 15 minute consult to determine how much you will save by completing a living trust.

San Diego’s Demand for Solar Energy Skyrockets Before SDG&E Changes Take Place Experts Say Monumental Changes will Occur in Less than Six Months SAN DIEGO, Calif. (August 24, 2015) – As a result of Assembly Bill 327, passed in 2014, the rules of solar will be changing for future investors of renewable energy in California. There is a maximum capacity of solar that can be installed by property owners under current favorable conditions in each of the state’s investor-owned utility territories, and San Diego Gas and Electric will be the first to hit its cap. An educational workshop surrounding the changes will take place for the beach and bay communities on Saturday, September 12 at 11:00 a.m. in the Marina Village Conference Center. The billing arrangement that provides solar owners full retail credit for the energy they put on the grid, called net energy metering, is ending. Property owners who install a solar energy system prior to the cap being hit will receive 20-years of grandfathering protections under the current attractive full-retail credit program. “We have never seen such a great demand for solar in the eleven years we have been operating in San Diego,” said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power, whose company far exceeded 2015 projections even in early winter months. Industry experts suggest that the cap
for net-energy metering will be hit sometime between December of this year and early 2016. In order for property owners to get grandfathered in to current rules, their projects must be installed and energized. “Given changes that will be coming next year and favorable conditions right now, there has never been a better time to go solar,” said Bernadette Del Chiaro, executive director of the California Solar Energy Industries Association (CALSEIA). Next year, solar incentives will become less attractive on a national level as well. The Federal tax credit for solar currently covers 30 percent of a project’s cost but is ending in 2016 for residential properties, and will be reduced to 10 percent for commercial property owners. “Those who wait to go solar will not receive the same sweet solar deal that has always been available in our region,” said Sullivan, “The opportunity to be grandfathered into net metering is creating unprecedented demand, a solar gold rush.” Property owners can learn more about the changes at the free educational lunchon on Saturday, September 12 at 11 a.m. in the Marina Village Conference Center.

Latest report reinforces need for more affordable housing in San Diego The San Diego Housing Federation says the report released this summer, Linking Innovation with Inclusion: Demography, Equity, and the Future of San Diego, shows “linking people and place” through affordable housing policies moves San Diego forward equitably and sustainably. Conducted by University of Southern California Program for Environmental and Regional Equity, the report highlights how a lack of diverse, equitable communities impacts the region’s long-term economic, environmental and social well-being, and it identifies challenges lower-income San Diegans face – particularly the communities of color, immigrants and youth. “These data show that, without a
college degree, San Diegans are making less than the regional housing wage and, even with a college degree, black and Latino workers still make less than the regional housing wage,” says Bruce Reznik, executive director of the San Diego Housing Federation, the region’s leading voice for affordable housing. The regional housing wage is the average income that a person needs to make to spend no more than 30 percent of his/her take-home pay on rent or mortgage, nearly $27 an hour in San Diego. “San Diego’s economy relies on these hardworking individuals, so we need more affordable and transit-friendly housing to lift all of San Diego,” Reznik said.
In addition to identifying these types of issues that affect the region as a whole, the report provides solutions to the long-term threats, many of which directly relate to affordable housing. This isn’t surprising, says the Housing Federation, as the nonprofit knows that affordable housing is underutilized in San Diego in solving many of the current and projected problems that this report highlights. The report’s recommendations for a more equitable, sustainable San Diego include: Establishing stable funding sources for affordable housing: Policies such as linkage fees that create resources for affordable housing units to help keep the cost of living balanced throughout the city, ensur-
ing the region’s growth and the future middle class. Protecting current residents from displacement: More affluent populations are moving to the urban core, driving lower-income communities to our suburbs that often lack transit and other infrastructure to serve these communities. Forcing these lower-income communities away from job centers and into cars results in more congestion, pollution and lost productivity. Policies that are responsive to the needs of existing residents and that protect these residents from displacement pressures are vital in combating this trend. Focusing on more mixedincome communities: By utilizing policies such as inclusionary hous-
ing, where housing developers dedicate a certain amount of housing units for low-income residents, ensures more balanced communities. Increasing civic engagement among emerging populations: By providing programs at affordable housing communities and involving these residents in the policy decisions that impact their communities, we can help develop leadership and break cycles of poverty. Addressing social and economic inequality: The report also has many other recommendations aimed at promoting greater equality, such as investing in education to serve our growing high-tech sector, which are bolstered by having safe, stable and affordable housing.
New policies for free and reduced lunches at SD Unified Schools
Strong surf keeps lifeguards, police busy over Labor Day weekend A strong swell and warm water combined with good weather and large crowds made this a very active weekend in all areas, according to San Diego Lifeguard Lt. Andy Lerum. Statistics from the San Diego Lifeguards for the three-day Labor Day weekend were: beach attendance 450,500, water rescues 675, medical aids 192, and preventive acts 8,026. Above, huge waves on Monday at Sunset Cliffs swept a man off a rock and onto a beach, where he was rescued by SDPD. He was not injured. PHOTO BY MIKE McCARTHY
Two pedestrians struck by vehicles in PB last week A 28-year-old male driving a Chevy pickup truck northbound on Dawes Street violated signs, made an illegal left turn and struck a 72-year-old male pedestrian about 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 31. He was crossing Grand Avenue in a southbound direction on the
west side of the intersection. The pedestrian died at the hospital due to head injuries suffered in the accident. Traffic Division is investigating. A suspected drunken driver whose car hit a woman in Pacific Beach on Sunday, Aug. 30, was arrested as she attempted to run
away, according to a San Diego police officer’s report. A sedan being driven by a 24year-old woman struck a 20year-old pedestrian on eastbound Garnet Avenue near Morrell Street shortly after 9:30 p.m., according to San Diego police officer Dino Delimitros.
Delimitros said the victim suffered head trauma and abdominal injuries. The driver ditched her car and ran but was arrested nearby on suspicion of felony DUI and hit and run, Delimitros said. Her name was not immediately released.
The San Diego Unified School District recently announced its policy for providing free and reduced-price meals for children served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The Food and Nutrition Services central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by the public. Household size and income criteria will be used to determine eligibility for free, reduced-price or fullprice meal benefits. Currently, there is no charge for reduced-price meals at San Diego Unified schools, and full-price meal rates are $1 for breakfast, $2 for elementary lunch and $2.50 for secondary lunch. Children from households whose gross income is at or below the appropriate levels are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Households who receive CalFresh (also known as SNAP or Food Stamps), California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs), Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payments (Kin-GAP), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits are automatically eligible for free meals regardless of the income of the household in which they reside. Application forms will be distributed to households with a letter informing them of the availability of free and reduced-price meals for enrolled children. Applications are also available in the school office. To apply for free or reduced-price meal benefits, households must complete an application and return it to the school office or mail it to the central Food and Nutrition Services office for processing.

Six months after his father's death, Shane Hardin continues the family tradition at iconic Hodad’s By TERRY RATNER In early August, I spot a young man in a wheelchair outside Hodad’s in Ocean Beach. A California license plate on the front tray reads “Ricky.” He’s wearing a black button-down shirt with “Hodad’s” embroidered over the left pocket, a Padres hat and a Bluetooth headset. A yellow burger wrapper sits on his tray table next to a soft drink and a Gumby. I ask him if he comes here a lot, and with a wide smile, he says, “I volunteer at Hodad’s.” I’d never entered Hodad’s before my interview with restaurant owner Shane Hardin, the late Mike (Bossman) Hardin’s 24-year-old son, who is now Hodad’s third-generation restaurateur. This is not a situation Hardin anticipated – it’s just the way things happened. Hardin meets me at the entrance and introduces himself with a smile. He’s low-key: respectful, selfassured, with a hint of shyness. A full beard gives his young face a modicum of maturity. His shoulderlength strawberry-blonde hair shows off his blue eyes. He’s dressed in casual attire with a sleeve of tats on his left arm he calls “a work in progress.” In the adjacent parking lot, I stare at a piece of street art – a purple, black and white VW with six feet of cabin cut out of its middle. It’s a Newport Avenue icon, covered with stickers, rust holes, a Hodad’s logo (People’s Republic of OB) on a side window, religious pamphlets stuck under the wipers and gnarly surfboards strapped on top. While I snap photos of Hardin, four bikini-clad Italian Gidgets gather around him as if he is a rock star. He blushes and tells them the legend
‘Hodad’s is my livelihood, not my life.’ SHANE HARDIN HODAD’S OWNER
of Hodad’s. While they exchange contacts, he says, “Join me later for burgers and shakes. It’s on me.” Hardin and I slither our way through a block-long line of hungry people. Stepping into the interior, a hodgepodge of boards from forgotten surfers, vanity plates, decals, bicycle wheels, lifeguard rescue cans and the front-end of a Volkswagen (booth for three) keeps patrons entertained – reminders of a life missed. The Rivieras, the Ventures and Dick Dale play loudly, but nobody seems to mind – not the gremmies or the old carps. Jeremy Diem, general manager for the past 12 years, joins us at a table for four. All around me, people are chomping down on juicy, humongous burgers. By this time, I’m jonesing for a Hodad and a phat shake. He insists I order anything I want. Diem talks about his growing bond with Hardin and how he’s changed since the death of his dad. “Taking over the responsibilities of the guy who pretty much invented the job for himself isn’t easy,” he says, “Shane’s been around from the start. He now walks a little taller and greets everyone with his father’s demeanor and smile. He’s learning the biz.” “It’s exactly six months to the day since my dad died,” Hardin says. He talks about his transition from son to boss, overseeing more than 90
employees. “I take it one day at a time. My goal is to move forward; the customers don’t want to feel like something is missing. I follow dad’s motto, ‘Hodad’s is my livelihood, not my life.’” I can’t help but notice a shell tattoo on Hardin’s right wrist. He tells me it represents his trip to Spain – walking the Camino de Santiago (just under 500 miles). “The scalloped shell symbolizes St. James. It’s a reminder of my spiritual journey.” Hardin talks about another recent trip to Japan and how it helped him with the business: “Mostly, it’s the work mindset that I bring back. The Japanese go to work, thinking it’s all about the team. The only difference is we’re family. Employees are our biggest assets.” Samantha, a blonde waitress dressed in a cropped T-shirt and shorts, talks freely about working at Hodad’s. When asked about having Hardin for a boss, she smiles: “He’s amazing, a chip off the old block. Every time he sees you, he gives you a big hug.” Before leaving, I ask Hardin what he loves to do besides running the restaurants. “I’m bassman in a band called Los Seafinks. Love music, beaches, cliffs and caves. October is my favorite month because I get to relax and be myself – tourist season is over.” “Are you the next Bossman?” “I’m not out on the beach selling shark repellant to tourists, like my grandfather, and I’m not the gregarious unofficial mayor of OB, like my dad.” He looks down and says, “My feet are way too small to fit the Bossman’s shoes. I’m just me.”

By FRANK SABATINI Jr. With its production facility named the Lomaland Fermentorium and an onsite tasting room boasting a sensational mosaic of Michael Jackson created from thousands of Post-it notes, consumers soon learn that Modern Times Beer isn’t your everyday craft brewery. Since launching two years ago in the Midway District by comic book enthusiast Jacob McKean, the warehouse has become home to a prolific line of aroma-driven beers famous for their hybrid styles. It has also spawned a coffee roastery on the same grounds and a second tasting room in North Park called The Flavordome. At Lomaland, visitors enter a 2,000-square-foot space complete with ample seating options, including a spacious bar propped up by hundreds of hard-cover books. But the academia vibe quickly turns zany under the looming gaze of Jackson holding a monkey, positioned opposite another lofty wall plastered with comic-book pages from McKean’s collection. Near the entrance hangs a series of curious, velvet portraits depicting the names and faces of the company’s key investors. They’re referred to as “the league of partygoers and elegant people.” The bar is rigged with 16 taps, five of them devoted to core beers such as the Lomaland bright-rustic saison, the Fortunate Islands hoppy-tropical wheat ale, and the acclaimed Black House coffee stout, which maintains a 90-point “outstanding” rating by BeerAdvocate magazine. The other handles rotate weekly and focus on seasonal releases, pilot batches and “mysterious experiments,” many of which can be found only inside the company’s tasting rooms in the form of flights, pints and growlers. The philosophy behind those beers: “Combine features from established categories to create new Island-of-Doctor-Moreau-style mash-ups,” referring to the fictional sci-fi doc from the namesake novel who transformed animal parts into hybrid humans. Among the latest newfangled rollouts is Mega Blazing World, an imperialized, amber version of the hoppy core favorite, Blazing World. “It’s a double-dry hop beer that will stick around for at least a few weeks, depending on sales,” says Modern Times chief operations officer Chris Sarette. Also fresh from the tanks is an IPA named Floating World, made with rare South African hops. “We were on a mission for a couple of years to acquire those hops, and we finally got them,” Sarette

adds. In its short history, Modern Times has produced 24,000 barrels of beer in the last year alone while offering regular monthly releases in cans, bottles and on draft. Sarette cites the hoppy “sessionable” pale ale, Oneida, as among the most popular since it was introduced on tap in late May. “It developed a huge following very quickly, and we’ll continue rebrewing it for about three more months,” he says. Currently in the making is Aurora, a red rye IPA that promises a unique flavor profile combining spiced malts and fruity hops. Sarette says it will be released in early September, noting that any of the seasonal brews can potentially repeat next year. McKean founded Modern Times after working several years at Stone Brewing Company, choosing an inconspicuous warehouse where trade-show booths used to be manufactured. Its location on Greenwood Street, however, may seem dubious to some as visitors loop behind the Body Shop to get there, passing what is an adult entertainment business rather than an automechanics garage. The atmosphere is decidedly G-rated, a welcoming gathering spot frequented by urban hipsters and scented with the fragrances of beer and coffee beans. Food isn’t served, but it can be toted in from numerous nearby restaurants and taco shops. And like its satellite tasting room in North Park, which happens to feature a mosaic of Yoda from Star Wars made of floppy disks, children are permitted if closely supervised by their parents. Modern Times’ core beers are distributed in retail outlets along the West Coast and as far away as Berlin. In addition, their coffee beans have entered the market locally in places like Snooze in Hillcrest and in most locations of Whole Foods.

Staples and Trader Joe's to open this month in rebuilt Pacific Beach plaza By DAVE SCHWAB After months of construction, the Staples-anchored strip mall at 1650 Garnet Ave. between Jewell and Ingraham streets is finally open. Sort of. The center unofficially reopened Aug. 31, when San Diego County Credit Union (SDCCU), which had been operating out of a trailer outside the mall construction site, moved into and began operating out of its new retail space in the rebuilt mall. “Staples and Trader Joe's should be open later in the month (September),” said Vicki Piazza, with the project’s architect Carrier Johnson. “PetSmart should be open in October.” Piazza noted there are two other prospective tenants in the reconstituted mall who she said are “working their way (toward) signing leases, so they probably won’t be up and operational until early 2016.” The architect said she didn’t know if a formal grand opening is planned for the mall, given the staggered tenant openings. Alison Mochizuki, director of public relations for Trader Joe’s, confirmed that they are moving soon from their present location at 1211 Garnet Ave. to their new mall site a few blocks up the road at 1640 Garnet Ave.
Trader Joe’s current site in PB will close at 9 p.m. on Sept. 23. The new store will open at 8 a.m. on Sept. 24. ALISON MOCHIZUKI TRADER JOE’S SPOKESPERSON
“It has been our pleasure to serve the customers in the present location for nearly 29 years,” said Mochizuki. “We appreciate the welcome we received, and are hopeful that our loyal customers will continue to visit us in our new location.” Mochizuki said the plan is for a “seamless transition” between stores. She said business will close for good at 9 p.m. at Trader Joe’s current site on Wednesday, Sept. 23. She said the new store, at its new location, will open at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24. Mochizuki noted parking is much better at the new site. “The current center has 58 parking spaces,” she said, adding, “The new center has more than 300 spaces.” Trader Joe’s has expanded to more than 400 stores in 40 states. The company, which began in 1958 as a chain of convenience stores in
Southern California know as Pronto Markets, changed its name to Trader Joe’s in 1967. Trader Joe's started as a small chain of specialty cheese and wine shops. Over the past 40 years, it has evolved and grown into a national chain of neighborhood grocery stores. Trader Joe’s philosophy is to bring its customers the best food and beverage values and the information to make informed buying decisions. The chain now offers more than 3,000 unique grocery items under its label, grouped according to categories, like kosher or organic. Two businesses previously in the mall, Empire Beauty Supply and Salon and Daisy Cleaners, moved months ago across the street to the property that once housed Pacific Coast Bicycles at 1637 Garnet Ave. Piazza said the initial idea to keep half of the building space at the Staples mall and rebuild the other half had to be abandoned. “The building, built in 1962, just wasn’t equipped to handle modern big-box retail,” Piazza said, adding the entirely new mall building is “rebuilt to almost the exact specifications of the older building but slightly smaller.” Staples has said that its new rebuilt prototype store is as much as 2,000 feet smaller than its previous space.
Nelson Photo Supplies moving to Point Loma Plaza By DAVE SCHWAB San Diego’s oldest surviving camera shop is relocating from Little Italy to Point Loma. After 60 years at 1909 India St., Nelson Photo Supplies is moving to 3625 Midway Drive in Point Loma Plaza. Nelson’s owner, Larry Kuntz, anticipates opening soon in his new revamped retail space next door to the Malt Shop and Petco-Unleased. “We are moving in late October and should be ready to open our doors to the new store location on Nov. 1,” said Kuntz. Kuntz said there were two main goals in finding a new space for his 65-year-old company: to be within five miles of his previous location and to have improved parking. Kuntz, a Point Loma resident, noted his new, 5,000-square-foot space is about the same size as his existing facility. But he added the parking situation is far better. “We had to put parking on the roof because there was no parking down there,” said Kuntz of his current location. “It was always an
issue. We now will have free, unlimited parking. Our customers have told us they’re just delighted with our new spot, though it’s an empty shell that we’re making tenant improvements to. That will take about four to six weeks.” Locally owned and operated Nelson Photo has been the most recognized photo retailer in San Diego providing photographic products to several generations of photographers. Nelson has catered to everyone from amateurs to professionals as well as serving San Diego’s biggest businesses, municipalities and schools. Starting in 1950, Al Nelson opened his Nelson Photo Supplies on Fifth Avenue in downtown San Diego, then moved to India Street in the mid-1950s. His son Gary Nelson grew the shop into a larger industrial and retail business. He retired and sold the retail portion of the business to Nancy and Larry Kuntz in September of 2001. Nelson Photo’s extensive product lines include the top-name brands in the photo business. Their products include film and digital cam-
eras, digital video, lenses, filters, tripods, bags, printers, binoculars, books, frames, wedding albums, photo albums, photographic chemistry and paper, darkroom equipment and studio lighting. Nelson sells used cameras and lenses, including all the latest action cameras and camera phone accessories. It also rents cameras and lenses. It develops film and carries the largest stock of pro films in San Diego. Nelson Photo is committed to serving the customer, which is reflected in the company slogan, “Where cameras, supplies and good service come together.” “This store has always been about taking care of our customers,” said Kuntz. “It’s something that’s been kind of ingrained in our employees. We sell products – but we’re here to service you. We want to make sure that the camera people buy is the one they want.” Nelson will celebrate its 65th year in business at its Little Italy shop Oct. 3. “Then we start the process of setting up and moving into the new store by the end of the month,”

Summer racing season ends as American Pharoah says goodbye to Del Mar Del Mar Thoroughbred Club finished its 76th summer season on Labor Day, completing a 40-day stand that saw total handle figures rise by nearly 10 percent, field size hold firm despite more racing and its new dirt track receive positive feedback from local horsemen. The track had two exceptional racing highlights during its season. The first saw the track’s premier race – the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic – won in smashing fashion by the champion mare Beholder, the first time a female had beaten males in the 25-year history of the mile and one quarter. In addition, Del Mar basked in the return of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, who set up shop for training at the seaside course for the summer following his run to glory this past spring. The handsome colt, winner of the Del Mar Futurity in 2014, highlighted his summer activities with a special parade for the racing fans on Sunday, Sept. 6, when nearly 33,000 fans turned out to see racing’s newest hero. Beholder and American Pharoah could give Del Mar fans one extra thrill this fall: It now appears quite possible that the two could meet at Keeneland, Ky., in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, a possible showdown that would have the rac-

ing world beside itself in sweet anticipation of a battle royale. Del Mar stretched its summer season out to eight weeks for the first time – running between July 16 and Sept. 7 – and added four more racing days to its agenda beyond the 2014 schedule. In the process, the track increased its cumulative handle from $443 million in 2014 to $486
million this year, a jump of 9.8 percent. Field size stayed at a California high of 8.8 horses per race for the third year in a row, even in light of the track running 354 races in 2015 as opposed to 326 the summer before. The new dirt main track, installed over the winter at a cost of approxi-

mately $5 million, performed well throughout the session, even overcoming freakish rain storms in the first weekend of the meet by utilizing its freshly installed drainage system to good advantage. “Both tracks performed very well,” said Del Mar Thoroughbred Club president and CEO Joe Harper. “We had a strong racing product
and generated momentum going into the fall season. There is a new normal, not just at Del Mar, but with California racing in general. “More racing here means more opportunities, but also less immediacy for our fans. We will continue to adapt as Del Mar plays a larger role in the industry,” he said. Del Mar’s second fall session, which will consist of five weeks instead of four this year, will run between Oct. 29 and Nov. 29. It will feature the two-day Breeders’ Cup meet on Oct. 30 and 31 being held at Keeneland. The track’s new dirt course drew mainly positive reviews. Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella was one of its fans. “I think it’s a very good track,” he said. “One of the best dirt tracks we’ve seen.” On-track attendance for 2015 was off by 12 percent, averaging 14,558 for the 40 days as opposed to 16,535 for last year’s 36.

SD Gulls new head coach focused on developing winners By SCOTT HOPKINS New San Diego Gulls head coach Dallas Eakins is a man with a plan. The Gulls, who will play as the Anaheim Mighty Ducks' top affiliate in the American Hockey League, the final steppingstone for players to the National Hockey League, recently introduced Eakins to the local media. Eakins, with an intense and focused look, outlined his goals of winning games while helping each player develop his potential in a team environment, which he said begins with discipline. "Discipline means doing the right thing the right way the first time and all the time," he said. He stressed a sense of urgency he will instill in his players. "We don't want any wasted days in development, and we don't want to waste days by not winning," he added. "Discipline and commitment are critical." And, when their time on the ice ends, Eakins emphasized the Ducks and Gulls organization places a priority on their players being active members of the city. "We want to be embedded in the community 365 days a year," Eakins said, and getting out in the community will be mandatory, “whether it is partnerships with the military, schools or hospitals. People have given to us on our way up, and now it's our time to give back." Eakins has been head coach of the NHL's Edmonton Oilers and also spent eight years in the Toronto Maple Leafs system, where he was head coach of the Leafs' AHL entry. He led the team to the AHL's Calder Cup finals and was named a head coach for the AHL All-Star game. As a player, Eakins, a left-handed defenseman, was a member of championship teams that won the Calder Cup and International Hockey League's Turner Cup. The Gulls camp started Wednesday, Sept. 9 in Anaheim. Drafted players, entry-level prospects and free agents will attempt to impress Ducks and Gulls coaches. The best of this bunch will join the Ducks NHL training camp on Thursday, Sept. 17, beginning a process in which those who don't earn a spot on the Ducks team will be assigned to San Diego. They will join five players already signed to play here. The Gulls will play 34 home dates at the Valley View Casino Center, including 13 Fridays, 12 Saturdays, seven Wednesdays and single games on Tuesdays and Sundays. See the full schedule at sandiegogulls.com.

San Diego Bayfair powerboat racing next weekend in Mission Bay Described as a “dramatic 200 mph duel in the sun” during three full days of diversified, high-powered thunderboat racing, San Diego Bayfair’s World Series of Powerboat Racing will be held Friday to Sunday, Sept. 18 to 20. Guests on East Vacation Island, Crown Point and Fiesta Island will see the H1 Unlimited hydroplane series, Grand Prix West, in addition to numerous smaller boat-racing classes. Ticket are required for adults to see the races. Children under age 12 are admitted free. Tickets for San Diego Bayfair are now available for purchase online. In addition to online ticket purchasing, guests can buy tickets at the race site. Ticket booths are available on Fiesta Island, Crown Point and across the street from East Vacation Island. Recent invites to more than 23 individual racing classes and more than 150 high-competition teams highlight this year's exciting speed classic on the waters of Mission Bay Park. The boats, some racing at speeds topping 225 mph, come every year to San Diego because of the outstanding race course conditions and summer weather. But it's the family festival, live entertainment, vendors, great food and beer gardens, fireworks, kids fun zone and other family activities that set the event apart from others in San Diego's jewel, Mission Bay Park. Bayfair, San Diego's largest annual family festival and sports competition, attracts race fans from all over the world, with more than 150,000 spectators attending during the event’s three days. Bayfair is renowned for its family festival atmosphere (1,000-plus motorhomers), inter-

active exhibits, vendors and specialty foods, nightly live entertainment and Saturday night’s fireworks extravaganza. San Diego Bayfair attracts more powerboat racing classes than any other site in the world and is known as the hallmark event of this kind in the nation. The different classes of boats will race on the famed Bill Muncey Memorial Race Course, in
honor of the sport's greatest unlimited driver, with 62 unlimited wins. The Bill Muncey race course is the fastest race course in the world. Parking with shuttle service starting at $10 a day is available at Crown Point and Fiesta Island. Shuttle hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Shuttles run every 15 minutes in a continuous circle. For more information, visit www.sandiegobayfair.org.
Real Estate From yogi to librarian, sharing the love of reading with Lee’s Little Lending Library By DAVE SCHWAB Lee Fowler Schwimmer of Pacific Beach used to be a yoga instructor. Now she’s a librarian, of sorts. Having set up Lee’s Little Lending Library in front of her home on Diamond and Dawes streets, Fowler Schwimmer said of her motivation, “We’re being nice to the neighborhood. It brings a nice energy into the community and makes it more of a neighborhood where people know each other, wave and say hello.” Best of all, Fowler Schwimmer noted her little lending library, entirely free and located four blocks from the beach, is open “24/7.” The yoga instructor-turnedlibrarian loves her community, as attested to by the “I love PB” mosaic she created on her house. Now, she has a people’s library to complement it. Fowler Schwimmer felt it was important to present a handy, wholesome, free recreational alternative for people of all ages. Fowler Schwimmer noted there are enough “bars, tattoo parlors and wild, crazy running around” to go around in the beach community. So, in her own small way, she’s

making her personal contribution toward making the beach community a little calmer and more laid back. Lee’s Little Lending Library is a global trend Fowler Schwimmer has adopted and made her own. “There is an international movement afoot, and that movement is called the Little Free Library, which

is a trademarked brand,” she said. “You can go on that website and register your own Little Free Library. It costs $40.” Adding, however, that she “didn’t go that route,” Fowler Schwimmer nonetheless said she was exposed to the personal library concept on the Internet. “I thought, ‘What a delightful thing to just give free books introducing them into the neighborhood,’” she said. She added there is no contract — and few terms — associated with her little lending library. “If you want to borrow a book and return it, I trust you,” Fowler Schwimmer said. “Or take one of mine, and give me one of yours.” Noting “reading is an option,” the independent librarian is hopeful “parents will come by with their kids” and take full advantage of her book repository. The library’s design, though, was admittedly a bit of a challenge. “I’m not a mechanic; I’m not a carpenter,” Fowler Schwimmer admitted. “My husband and a friend designed it. We all kind of pitched in.” SEE LIBRARY, Page 15

The first-time Taste of Old Town event, presented by Tequila Herradura last year, will return to the streets of Old Town San Diego on Thursday, Sept.10, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Event chairperson Chuck Ross of Old Town Family Hospitality Corp., the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Fiesta de Reyes said the inaugural event surpassed all expectations last fall and 13 restaurants in Old Town have begun the planning for the second-annual Taste of Old Town. “Nearly 1,000 San Diegans
blazed through the streets of Old Town last year for the sellout event, sampling selections of spirits and beer paired with culinary specialties,” Ross said. “Participating restaurants and tequila sponsors said it was wildly successful. We received nothing but rave reviews from the public as well.” Produced by the Old Town Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Tequila Herradura, Taste of Old Town tickets are now on sale for $35 per person at tasteofoldtown.com. Desig-
nated drivers can purchase food-only tickets for $25. Ross said prices will go up $5 if people wait until the day of the event and they may risk missing out altogether. “We sold out last year so we recommend people purchase their tickets ahead of time,” Ross explained. Ross added that Old Town Trolley Tours will be providing free shuttle service throughout the event, so that attendees can be sure to visit each of the participating restaurants. Restaurants,
tequila brands and other Old Town businesses are also providing a variety of raffle prizes. Participating restaurants in 2015 are The Alamo, Barra Barra Saloon, Cafe Coyote, Casa de Reyes, Casa Guadalajara Cosmopolitan Hotel & Restaurant, El Patio de Old Town Fred’s Mexican Café, Miguel's Cocina, Old Town Mexican Café Old Town Tequila Factory Rockin Baja, Rust General Store & Bistro.

Joylyn said Dennis then suggested, “Why don’t we just drill a hole in there (can lid), and then put in a little tube where they (flies) walk through?” Joylyn, a San Diego State University marketing graduate, responded, “I don’t care. Go for it.” “So he did it,” she said. Dennis said he went to a chain home appliance store that very night to buy parts to construct his better flytrap. A year later, the couple have a patent pending for their “Garbage Can Fly Trap” and have launched a fundraising campaign on kickstarter.com to get prospective buyers to help them launch early development of their new household flytrap. “People have given $5,500 in pledges for the $10,000 we requested (on Kickstarter),” said Dennis, noting investors in his prospective product can pledge anywhere from $11 to $200 to pre-buy the product. “For $200, I’ll come out to your house and defly it myself,” quipped Dennis. Joylyn said the beauty of the new product is that its design “uses the natural attractant of your garbage” and doesn’t require any unnatural chemical lures, pesticides or anything of the like. Dennis has also refined his new invention, which employs a flypaper-filled canister inserted underneath the garbage can lid to trap flies that wander through the hole into the lid. He has even developed a push button which allows the fly-filled canister to disengage and fall into the garbage with a finger push. The
Lee’s Little Lending Library has been open about six weeks and thus far has gotten rave reviews. People leave comments inside on Post-its furnished just for that purpose. “People say, ‘What a great idea this is, and thank you very much,’” with some taking books while promising to “leave some books later,” Fowler Schwimmer said. The newly minted little librarian said she’s concerned about stocking her shelves with a good cross-section of literary choices. “I don’t want it to be all romance novels,” she said. “I want some recent books, some fiction, good-quality stuff.” Since families are headed to the beach, Fowler Schwimmer also wants to ensure she has kids picture books as well as classics like Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys. There’s also a doggie bowl in front of the Lee’s Little Lending Library for fourlegged browsers. “It’s hard to have too much reading,” concluded Fowler Schwimmer. “It’s a great thing to encourage. When you make something convenient and easy to use, what goes around comes around.” Of her reward for starting her own private, free community lending library, Fowler Schwimmer said, “I get paid for doing this in smiles.”

user then just has to snap a new canister into place, and they’re good to go once again. How long does it take to fill a flytrap? “I’ve filled one up in a day,” answered Dennis, noting it varies with the season and location of the can. The Darnells have also launched into acquiring a patent for their new fly-catching device, a long process that could take two to five years. They had to hire an attorney and submit an application, some 41 pages long. “You have to describe it all (product), then make claims about what it can do,” said Joylyn. What’s the next step for the entrepreneurial couple? “We’re working on making one (flytrap)

They (restaurants) have huge needs.” A video of the couple’s new innovative household flytrap can be viewed at www.garbagecanflytrap.com.

asserts that to allow STVR into residential zones violates the city’s general plan and adversely effects all ten elements of the plan, in particular, noise, housing and services and safety. “The eventual adoption of an ordinance expressly allowing STVRs in single family residential zones will have multiple, foreseeable, direct and indirect physical impacts upon the environment and constitutes a nonexempt ‘project’ under CEQA,” the letter states. Save San Diego Neighborhoods further contends that complying with CEQA and working through the environmental impact report (EIR) process will inform the discussion regarding the appropriateness of allowing STVR to operate in San
Diego residential neighborhoods. Save San Diego Neighborhoods believes that the results of an EIR will not support the imposition of a new ordinance permitting STVR in residential zones in San Diego. On the contrary, the EIR will identify significant impacts that the city will be unable to mitigate, including depleting housing stock, noise pollution, air pollution, traffic congestion, and additional and unmanageable stress on City services, in particular first responders – fire and law enforcement – water, trash, and parks and recreation personnel and facilities. The Save San Diego Neighborhoods CEQA letter was served this week because the city is moving forward on a draft ordinance that would make short-term vacation rentals in residential zones lawful. Although the proposed draft ordinance may be modified in the coming weeks, the existing draft permits absentee-

Of those, 65 percent – 2,283 rentals – are whole-house, absentee-owner mini-hotels located throughout San Diego’s residential neighborhoods. Hundreds of San Diego residents packed two City Council meetings this spring to complain about the proliferation of vacation rentals and the negative impacts they create, saying, “We are the neighbors, and we’re telling you there is a problem.” Save San Diego Neighborhoods was formed in the wake of STVR. Hundreds of citizens have joined the group via savesandiegoneighborhoods.org. Save San Diego Neighborhoods is now conducting an online petition whose early results show citizens unanimously support enforcing the city’s current municipal code to ban STVR mini-hotels and taking legal action against the city, if needed.
