Walking into Clayton’s Bakery & Bistro is like walking into a portal to a period in time when life was simpler. The cafe takes us back to the early 1900s, a time of immigration and diversity and various international influences.

Owner Mary Frese along with long time best friend Chelsea Schoeni have been dreaming up the concept for years. Mary is owner and operator of both Clayton’s Coffee Shop and Clayton’s Mexican Take Out. This is her third restaurant in Coronado.

“Our partnership in business and in friendship along with a fusion of our creativity has produced something very special to us,” said Frese. “We wanted an establishment, conceptually, that could have existed before the coffee shop came along.” Influences for the bistro and bakery were pulled from New York, Italy and Eastern European cafes.

The two of them had so much fun choosing all of the design elements. “All of the little touches are extremely important to us because we wanted everyone to have a full experience that is delicate and sweet and aesthetically pleasing covering all of the senses from the aromas to the visually appealing such as the warm lighting and copper ceiling,” said Frese. “What we wanted to create was a very specific experience with incredible food, the beauty of presentation, and joy of dining out.”

Currently, the bakery and bistro are open for early morning and midday service. Supper service is coming soon.

The concept of early 1900s carries over into how the food is prepared as well, returning to the simplest form of baking and cooking. For example, their New York steak will be roasted on the loin then carved off, which is how it traditionally is cooked. The oatmeal is imported from Ireland along with traditional Eastern European pastries and delights. More Naked cakes and more sweets, like Nutella-filled donut holes, will be coming soon. There will also be international specials and seasonally changing menus.

“I love seeing the alignment of all of our inspirations coming together,” said Frese. “The people of Coronado have been so generous with their appreciation for bringing in a neighborhood bakery & bistro and it is truly reciprocated! We feel very grateful to have the opportunity,” said Frese.

Some key members in the creation of the concept included their chef and baker Elana Palma at Clayton’s Coffee Shop. “She doesn’t even know how amazing she is. She gave us the confidence to take this on,” said Frese. As for adding in the bistro menus, Elana brought in professional chef Ira Sylvester. “It is the dream team, we are so blessed,” said Frese.

You can enjoy all of their sweet and savory creations on the back porch, front porch, or inside their dining room, the names of their multiple seating areas. The back porch is decorated with tomato and basil plants and is still expanding, with outdoor heaters, twinkle lighting and large awnings to protect from rain in the near future. The interior has decorative tiled walls, warm tones, dark woods and touches of elegance right down to the small glass vases of flowers on each table.

“I hope it’s magic for everybody,” said Frese.

August 2019 It is a great honor to gather to celebrate August 3, 1969, the opening of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge.

A host of significant events are celebrating 50 years in 2019 – Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, Woodstock took place on a dairy farm in New York, and Sesame Street debuted. Locally, the San Diego Padres became a Major League Baseball team. For our region, one of the most significant events of 1969 was the opening of the 2.1-mile-long San Diego-Coronado Bridge which forever linked its two namesake cities.

Change is inevitable but rarely in the history of a town can one event so pointedly mark such an immediate and powerful change in the character of a community. No longer was Coronado a small resort-residential village accessible only via San Diego Bay or the Silver Strand. Many would say the change was for the good. Others would steadfastly disagree.

The bridge quickly became a major link in the region to vital military establishments as well as stunning beachfront property. For Coronado – a fully self-sufficient small town with no traffic signals but two car dealerships and a department store – the bridge transported residents to modern shopping malls and mega theaters in San Diego. It also marked the end of the ferry boat era and the beginning of Coronado as a bustling resort town.

The opening of the bridge brought about significant transformation in Coronado as well as in San Diego’s Barrio Logan. Within a few years, the Coronado Cays planned residential community, Coronado Hospital and the Coronado Shores condominium complex of 10 tall towers opened. As a result of this growth, citizens became aware of the importance of preservation. In Barrio Logan, the bridge mobilized a community. Residents fought to create Chicano Park to protect their neighborhood and culture.

For 50 years, the San Diego-Coronado Bridge has fascinated and captivated us and, at times, frustrated and vexed us.

Improvements have been made to the structure with lighting, earthquake retrofitting and the installation of a center barrier, and is in a continuous cycle of paint, repair and maintenance. Efforts continue to prevent incidents on the bridge and make the structure safe.

It is at once a wondrous link to the mainland and an exciting trip to an enchanted city, depending on your point of departure. We take a moment today to reflect on its impact on our region and how it is shaping our future. Here’s to the next 50 years and to the graceful blue structure that brings us together and makes us stronger.

Sincerely,

Richard Bailey Mayor cc:

50 Years

Before the Bridge

By Joe Ditler Before the bridge, Coronado was a sleepy little town that essentially went to sleep at 8 p.m. every night. There were no one-way streets, no stop lights, no jet noise, and pedestrians had right-of-way in crosswalks.

It was a different time, to be sure.

I came to Coronado in 1967, at the age of 15.

My fascination for the Enchanted Isle after more than half a century hasn’t dimmed. If anything, my love and intrigue for what was, is more.

People often call me “the Coronado historian,” but I’m just a storyteller. People ask me all the time about what’s left from that earlier Coronado. Most of all, it’s the friends I’ve made along the way, and continue to cherish in my daily life.

I like the way the wind creeps over Point

50 Years Darkness enveloped us quickly. There were no lights on, in or below the bridge. The cold sea air howled through the unprotected catwalk area, freezing the water in our eyes and the spit in our mouths. Sometimes a piece of the flooring was missing. That was tricky, but we managed to get around the holes.

Then, once we were about 180 feet over the water, we came to a door—a large, circular door that resembled a watertight hatch on a ship. We opened it, crawled through, and suddenly we were walking on cement in what appeared to be a large container. The three middle spans are all like that.

Of course, the bridge hadn’t quite connected in the middle when we began to do our little nighttime treks, so we would go as far as we could, then sit and hang our legs over the ledge and enjoy whatever refreshments we carried with us.

Below us a much slower city and harbor tucked in for the night. We could see the ferryboats slowly making their way across the bay to the northwest of us. Little did we know at the time what a strange and ironic drama was unfolding in our lives, nor did we have any idea how this bridge would change Coronado.

Within the year, our small town would be gone forever. In its place would be a major tourist destination with rapid and unlimited access to the outside world. Was it worth it? No, I don’t think so.

Nowadays, all we really have left of old Coronado is the memories.

The underbelly of the bridge, the workers’ catwalk. Here it is seen many years after our teenage adventures up there. The floor grating looks much more solid and dependable now. When we walked on the old one, it sagged under our weight.

Reserve your 50th Anniversary Commemorative Medallion San Diego-Coronado Bridge

On August 3, 1969 the San Diego-Coronado Bridge officially opened. On August 3, 2019 the City of Coronado, California Department of Transportation, County of San Diego and Port of San Diego will honor the golden anniversary of the opening of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge with a community concert on the Golf Course greens. The concert is free and open to the public. Local band “Ron’s Garage” will perform from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, August 3. There will be activities for children, a VW bus-themed photo booth courtesy of Discover Coronado, booths from sponsoring agencies, and food and beverages available for purchase.

In preparation for this event, the city has been researching the history of the bridge and the opening festivities held in August 1969. The occasion was attended by then Gov. Ronald Reagan. A historic plaque was unveiled, stamped with intricate designs featuring the new bridge connecting San Diego to Coronado and the crests of the two cities forever joined. Medallions bearing these images were distributed as commemorative gifts to all those who attended the luncheon at the Hotel del Coronado on Saturday, August 2, 1969.

Coronado Magazine

Fast-forward 50 years and the City discovered a 1969 medallion available for purchase online. With assistance from the internet, the company where the medallion was originally produced was found and traced to a new company in Wisconsin who had purchased the original manufacturer’s molds. As luck would have it, the original molds were still in their possession. In the meantime the City Clerk also found a set of molds in the City’s vault. To commemorate the Golden Anniversary of the Bridge the City is reissuing the medallions and a limited number will be for sale through the Cultural Arts Commission.

Medallions may be purchased for $35(+ tax) per medal.

What is in a Name?

San Diego - Coronado Bridge Did you know that it took 20 years to officially name the San Diego - Coronado Bridge? It was made official through Assembly Concurrent Resolution 86 and is memorialized by a plaque unveiled in 1989 and currently hanging next to the original plaque on the building at the entrance of the bridge. Many inadvertently insert the word “Bay” in the name. There is the San Diego Bay or Glorietta Bay but there is not a Coronado Bay and so the name is simply the San Diego-Coronado Bridge.

Caltrans Employee Photo Contest California Transportation Department (Caltrans) District 11 employees were invited to submit their best photos of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge in a contest to celebrate the bridge’s 50th anniversary. Employees were encouraged to use their free time to capture a photo by camera or cell phone or use a photo taken in the past. No photos from atop or under the bridge were permitted so not to have an unfair advantage. A total of 48 photos were submitted, with 13 making it to the final round. Judges Kelly Purvis from the

City of Coronado, Brett Shoaf of Artistic Visuals, and Caltrans District Director Cory Binns selected Jose Delgado (camera—top picture) and Oliver Asis (cell phone—bottom picture) as the contest winners, who, by the way, were also dubbed “Fan Favorites” by popular employee vote.

The winning photos will be displayed at the City of Coronado’s 50th anniversary celebration Aug. 3 at the outdoor free Community Concert on the Coronado Golf Course at 6:30 p.m.

Her mother and grandparents, the Beauchamp family, resided in Coronado for many years. During her childhood, Makovic became familiar with the charm of our city. After college, she moved to Italy where she and her husband, Arturo Sbicca, produced cultural and historical documentaries mostly pertaining to the small medieval town of Assisi. After living in Italy for 20 years they brought their family back to live in Coronado. They now spend their time commuting between the two cities always looking for an interesting story to tell.

“Come to the Land by the Sea” Celebrating the Jubilee at Coronado Cays

This would set the framework for all comic and pop-culture conventions to follow. With just over 300 attendees packed into the basement of the Grant, the convention featured special guests Jack Kirby, Ray Bradbury, and A.E. van Vogt, as well as program panels, a dealer’s room, and film screenings – all of which remain major elements of San Diego ComicCon (SDCC) today and remain true to the various groups and interests the convention was created for: fans, creators, and dealers.

PARENTING

by Hattie Foote

Mom

Back to School, Back to School The June gloom has passed, the 4th of July crowds have died down, and now the real Coronado summer weather is here. Before you bust out your margaritas and bathing suits, I have to warn you I am about to rain on your parade.

I am here to talk to you about back to school. I wish I had wisdom to share, but to be completely honest, this will probably be more of a panicked rambling from a mom about to send her first baby to kindergarten.

Let’s discuss, mmmmm’kay?

When I dropped Lux off for her first day of preschool, I was nine months pregnant and highly emotional. I waddled home, bawling my eyes out and counted down the three, long hours until I could pick her up. Granted, I quickly came to cherish those three hours of alone time, that was until baby brother made his debut two weeks later! So I can imagine, pregnant or not, dropping her off on her first full day of school is going to be double the waterworks for me.

Tropical Bliss AT HOME

by Denise Lyon

Nothing says summer like fresh pineapple, icy drinks and a bathroom transformed into a spa.

Think bold, cool and relaxed.

Turn your home into an exotic get away with just a few quick and easy fixes.

Enjoy tropical drinks and add a spear of pineapple, fresh mint, ice and flowers.

Garnish with a straw, paper umbrella or stirrer.

Palm leaves and tropical flowers are everywhere and they are an inexpensive way to decorate a table or a fruit plate.

Hollow out a pineapple and fill it with a mix of your favorite colorful ice creams and sorbets.

The juicy pineapple will flavor the ice cream and you might be transported to Hawaii for a moment.

Fill your bathroom with tropical indoor plants that will turn your bathroom into a mini spa. Add a few candles and thick towels to complete the look. Maybe add a coconut bath bomb or a few drops of essential oil.

Lo and behold, those people existed! I went to meetings and found me some friends! We exchanged tips and information as we went through the process of moving, we vented when we ran into struggles, we unloaded all our worries over a glass of wine. Best of all, my son met friends! He was excited to move and be with them. As a matter of fact, I have no idea how I would have done any of it without them.

Three and half years in a small community overseas, I relied on the military base. I relied on the support of the community and friends and so did my son. People in the same situation were the only ones who seemed to relate to things we went through. My son went to a DODEA school, so basically every student was a military child.

About Last Month’s Cover Without a doubt, Coronado’s biggest event of the year is the 4th of July holiday.

When it comes to the cover, it’s always difficult to come up with some fresh ideas when red, white and blue prevails everywhere you go. Inspiration came with the idea of what Coronadans love to do - ride their bikes and decorate them for the holiday.

When it came to the style of bike, we needed a beach cruiser. We went to Hollands Bicycles where they set us up with the perfect Townie cruiser, beautiful baskets attached. (Thank you, Hollands!) We parked the cruiser on the median on Orange Avenue, filled the basket with deep red geraniums and carnations, added some ribbon and a flag for good measure.

Although June Gloom predominated, we still got some great photos and we’re happy with the way the cover came out.

Corn on the Cob What’s in Season?

Boiled, grilled, roasted or microwaved, served hot with butter or cold in a salad or salsa, nothing beats the versatility of corn.

Corn is low in fat, a good source of fiber and contains folate, thiamin, phosphorous, vitamins C and B, and magnesium. It has antioxidants, too. A plain ear of corn has about 110 calories and has less sugar than a banana or apple. Corn can be yellow, white or mixed. Sweetness has nothing to do with color, but rather with its growing conditions and its genetic type.

Buying corn on the cob can be a mystery - just what is inside those green husks? Refrain from peeling back husks. It is unsanitary, messy and most importantly, speeds up the process of sugar becoming starch and dries it out. The tassels at the end should be brown and moist. Black or dry tassels indicate old corn. Also, the more silk in the tassel, the more mature kernels on the cob.

Notice the husk - it should be tight around the ear.

Gently squeeze the ear from the outside from top to bottom, feeling for solidness, roundness and even kernels. Avoid holes in the outside husk, a sign of worms. The bottom stem where the ear was plucked should not be brown.

Store corn, unhusked, wrapped tightly in plastic, away from other strongly scented foods, in the refrigerator and eat within three days; it’s best if eaten day of purchase. Corn should never be shucked until just before you cook it. To freeze, blanch 2 1/2 minutes in boiling water, immediately followed by an ice bath and freeze just the kernels.

Frozen corn keeps up to a year.

Enjoy the perfect summer food!

Persimmons Loaf

“It tastes more like cake than bread, so I call it a loaf. Also, I soak one cup of

raisins in 1/2 cup Burgundy wine for 2-3 days before I make the loaf,” says Pat Jones. “The wine that the raisins don’t absorb is poured into the batter.

Sometimes I let the raisins soak for a week or more before making the loaf--the longer, the better.”

Persimmons are in season October through February and the large, heartshaped Hachiyas can be found at the Tuesday Farmer’s Market by the bay.

CalSavers:

What Is It and Why It’s Important.

by Andy McNamara We hear the headlines all the time, “10,000 Baby boomers are retiring every day” –but how many of those 10,000 boomers are actually ready for retirement?

CalSavers is essentially a state sponsored IRA that makes automatically saving into a retirement plan a breeze. The program touts itself as having low fee investment choices, easy administration for employers, and Every year thousands of Americans begin an opportunity to automatically save for retirement, but unfortunately many are retirement. woefully underprepared and have not saved enough for retirement. Many in Public Policy recognize this trend as unsustainable, especially in a high cost state such as California.

So recently several states, including the State of California, have instituted new laws to try to incentivize employers to offer retirement plans and to get employees to save more for retirement. The program in California is called CalSavers.

Page 78

Coronado Magazine

Here is what you need to know if you are an employer in California: If you already offer an employer sponsored plan to your employees, you must register with CalSavers through their “Employer Portal” to inform them that you already offer a retirement plan for your employees.

If you do not currently offer an employer sponsored plan, California employers are required by state law to set up a CalSavers program for their employees. The savings program officially launched on July 1, 2019 and is set to phase in the mandatory participation over the next few years. So, if you are business owner and do not currently offer a retirement plan for your employees; take a look at these deadlines in regards to enrolling in CalSavers:

FINANCE

June 30, 2020 -Any employer with more than 100 employees June 30, 2021 - Any employer with more than 50 employees June 30, 2022 - Any employer with five or more employees If the business is found to be in noncompliance after 90 days from these deadlines, an initial penalty of $250 per employee will be assessed. After 180 days of non-compliance, the penalty is $500/ employee.

An important note for employers is that there is no fee to the employer to set up or administer the plan. Also, the contributions are all made by the employee and there is no matching requirement for the employer.

Here is what you need to know if you are an employee in California: Once your employer is enrolled, an automatic 5% of your pay will be redirected into an Individual Retirement Account on your behalf. This money is after tax and works the same way as a Roth IRA-contributions go in post-tax but are tax free upon withdrawal. As long as you are 18 or older, your employer has more than five employees, and they don’t offer a retirement plan, you are eligible. The first $1,000 of contributions will go into a money market fund and then additional contributions will default to a target date retirement fund based on your age. You can customize the systematic contributions by increasing or decreasing the contribution percentage, you can customize your investment options, and

if for whatever reason, you do not want to contribute, you do have the option of opting out of your contributions.

Bottom Line: If you are an employer that doesn’t offer a retirement plan and employ more than five people, you can visit CalSavers.com or call 855-650-6918 to learn more how to enroll your company in the mandatory program.

And if you are an employee of a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan, make sure your company knows about this new program so you can start saving for your future!

The Art Of Collecting

“I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am.

The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.”

- Michel Foucault

What is the art of collecting ... the compilation of that which is beautiful, desirable, valuable?

Or is it something more?
