This year is the 70th annual Coronado
4th of July Parade with a theme of “America’s Heritage.” As soon as the last firework shell was shot off on July 4, 2017, the Coronado 4th of July Committee starts planning for next year’s activities. These activities, which start off running at 7 a.m. and wind down by 9:20 p.m. are put together not just by the Coronado 4th of July Committee but by other organizations and volunteers as well. The parade has many returning entries that are on everyone’s favorite list and some new entries that are sure to be crowd pleasers. The day’s activities could not have happened without all the volunteers and donations towards the day. The volunteers are not just the people who run those activities but all the people who participate in them. No matter how much time is put in, from one volunteer hour to thousands of volunteered hours, the day’s activities could not run smooth without them. The donations received are priceless as they make all the day’s activities possible. These donations not only come from Coronado residents and
businesses, but from supporters all over the United States that agree our City’s Celebration is one of the best! We all know that the 4th of July in Coronado is a fun filled, jam packed day but let me be the first to thank you for participating, volunteering, watching, and/or donating to make this great day even better. I would also like to thank both the City of Coronado and the Port of San Diego for their donations and support. Here’s to a wonderful 2018 Coronado 4th of July Celebration and looking forward to an even better 2019 with the theme of “The American Dream.” If you wish to volunteer or donate towards the Coronado 4th of July Celebration, please contact us at: Coronado 4th of July Committee, Box 180541, Coronado, CA 92178-0541; 619-328-2461; coronado4thofjuly@ usa.net or CoronadoTimes.com/4th (courtesy of CoronadoTimes.com).

The Orange Avenue medians will open at 5 a.m. on July 4. There is no camping or staking out. People on the median prior to 5 a.m. will be asked to leave and subject to a citation. Items left unattended on the center median will be removed and taken to the Coronado Public Services building, located at 101 B Avenue, where they can be claimed on July 5, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Items not claimed by 2 p.m. on July 5, will be discarded. You may set up on the sidewalk side of Orange Avenue before 5 a.m.; however, you cannot leave items unattended or block public rights-of-way.

2018 Coronado Magazine - July
In response to world events over the past few years, where common vehicles have been used as weapons against people in public gatherings, the City of Coronado has taken measured steps to provide more defined and secure perimeters for our City events that take place in public rights-of-way. Anchors for over 300 steel bollards recently were installed on the perimeter of the Fourth of July Parade event area. Bollards will be placed in these anchors on the morning of July 4th, starting at 8 a.m. They are in locations where police barricades and vehicles were positioned in the past. Once the bollards are placed, those access points to Orange Ave. will be closed for the duration of the event. The bollards will be removed following the conclusion of the Parade by Public Services crews, as they restore Orange Avenue to its pre-Parade condition, starting at First Street.
Where does the parade start?
The parade starts at First Street and Orange Avenue and ends at Churchill Place and Ocean Boulevard, and lasts about two hours. The parade travels in the southbound lanes of Orange Avenue.
When does the parade start and what is the new pre-parade event this year?
The parade officially starts at 10 a.m.; however, new this year will be a pre-parade Fun Run down Orange Avenue at approximately 9:15 a.m. This event is hosted by the Islander Sports Foundation. Just after Orange Avenue is closed in preparation for the parade, runners will sprint from Fourth Street to Star Park Circle. This pre-parade run will last about fifteen minutes. The Islander Sports Foundation will have volunteers positioned along the route to keep the area clear for runners. Please be sure to use caution during the Fun Run as runners will be sprinting down Orange Avenue.
Where is the best place to watch the parade?
The parade can be viewed anywhere along the southbound lanes of Orange Avenue from First Street to Churchill Place. The parade is also broadcast live on Coronado TV, on Spectrum 19 and AT&T 99.
What roads are closed during the parade?
Orange Avenue will be closed between First Street and R.H. Dana. Vehicle traffic may cross Orange Avenue during the parade road closure only at Third and Fourth streets. The 100 and 200 blocks of D, E, F, G, H, I and J Avenues will be blocked or have access restricted. First Street between Alameda Boulevard and Orange will be closed, as will Churchill Place and a portion of Isabella Avenue.
How do I catch the bus? Is there a bus for Cays residents? Where can I park my vehicle in Coronado? Public transportation will continue to be provided. Routes normally located within the parade route will be relocated during the closures. The Free Summer Shuttle operating hours will be expanded on the Fourth of July. The shuttle will run in the Village from 7:58 a.m. to 10:43 p.m. The City has contracted with MTS to provide special, free bus service on the July 4th holiday for Cays residents. This free bus will operate from 7:40 a.m. to 11:10 p.m. in 30-minute intervals, from the bus stop across from the Cays Fire Station to the turnaround at the Community Center.
Parking is authorized in any marked legal parking spot. The parking meters and permit parking will not be enforced on July 4; however, all other parking rules and regulations will be in effect. Vehicles that are parked illegally are subject to being towed at the owner’s expense. If you see a “No Parking” sign, do not park your vehicle there or you will be subject to being towed or receiving a citation. The parking restriction signs are certified by the Coronado Police Department several times prior to and on the Fourth of July so moving a sign will not be a valid excuse. Saving parking spaces is not allowed.
Are fires or barbecues allowed on the public beach?
Where can I park my motor home/RV/trailer?
It is not permitted to build a fire on any public beach, except in a City-provided fire pit or portable barbecue. All coal and debris from a portable barbecue must be discarded in an official fire pit or hot coal container. The Coronado Municipal Code states that a fire in a fire pit or portable barbecue shall be used only to build beach fires for cooking or warmth, and it shall be unlawful to use the same as incinerators to burn waste or any material restricted by the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District. The materials used for fires on the public beach shall not exceed a height of 12 inches above the upper edge of the fire pit or portable barbecue and shall be contained within the inside edge of the fire pit or portable barbecue. All fires must be properly extinguished before being left unattended. Ashes cannot be covered. All unburned wood shall be removed or placed in receptacles provided by the City. Glass items or containers of any type are not allowed on the beach. Alcohol is not allowed on public property, including the beaches or in the water.
Are anchorage permits needed for Glorietta Bay (A-5) on July 4th?
Permits will not be needed from 12 p.m. on July 2 until 12 p.m. on July 5, in Glorietta Bay. Coronado Lifeguards will be directing boaters to the special anchoring area. Vessels attempting to enter before that time will be turned away. A-5 will be closed due to its close proximity to the fireworks barge. Overnight anchoring permits will be required starting Thursday, July 5.
Can I smoke in Coronado?
As of January 1, 2014, the City prohibits smoking on all public property, and on private property within 25 feet of an enclosed building.
What time do the fireworks start?
The fireworks display at Glorietta Bay will start at 9 p.m. The barge is in the water between the Coronado Golf Course and the Coronado Community Center. The fireworks will last about 15 minutes. The Coronado fireworks display is not connected to the Big Bay Boom.
Motor homes can be parked in any legal space they fit into. Oversized vehicles are not required to obtain an oversized vehicle permit on July 4; oversized vehicle permits are required prior to and after July 4. No awnings or slide outs from motor homes, RV’s or trailers will be allowed as they create hazards for other vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians. All trailers must remain attached to vehicles being towed and there is no overnight camping or lodging allowed in the City.
What time does Silver Strand State Beach open on the Fourth of July?
Silver Strand State Beach is set to open at approximately 6 a.m. on July 4, which will allow vehicles to enter about an hour earlier than normal. The State Beach gates will close at 8 p.m. on July 3. Vehicles, motorhomes and trailers are not permitted to stop, park or line up along any part of the highway or roadway at any time.
Where do I report issues with public or portable restrooms?
Contact the Public Services Department at 619-522-7380 for matters related to public bathrooms and service, or maintenance issues.
Final Notes
The City reminds the community to keep a watchful eye on their children. Parents of lost children should contact a Police Officer, security staff or call 9-1-1. For non- life-threatening emergencies, contact the Police Department at 619-522-7350. Public Services crews will be out cleaning up and handing out trash bags throughout the day, but City officials ask that people leave the City as clean as they found it. 2018 Coronado Magazine - July

Jim Zoll is pictured during his tour in Vietnam, where he served in Army Intelligence. As a (then) 2nd Lieutenant, Zoll’s job was to intercept communications among the North Vietnamese military. As the war wound down, Zoll and his unit volunteered with a local orphanage, including teaching sign language to deaf children. Photo Supplied by Jim Zoll 2018 Coronado Magazine - July

Jim Zoll Turns Vietnam War Volunteerism into Second Career in Education by David Axelson Among the many positives emanating from the recent Coronado Chamber of Commerce Military Ball, was the video project orchestrated by Mike Woiwode where he conducted interviews with Vietnam Era Veterans, and they recalled their service to their country. One interview which stood out featured Army Intelligence Officer Major Jim Zoll (U.S. Army-Ret.). Zoll is a native of Buffalo, New York and graduated from St. Francis High School in Athol Springs, New York. A football and track letterman in high school, he went to St. Francis College in Biddeford, Maine, where he lettered in soccer and track and field. When asked how he wound up going to college in Maine, Zoll said “I went sight unseen to St. Francis, which is one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. It’s located at the mouth of the Saco River and the Atlantic Ocean. It’s known now as the University of New England. Drafted into the Army while he was in his senior year at St. Francis, Zoll was allowed to complete his degree in History and English, prior his induction into the service. In short order Zoll graduated from Engineering Officers Candidate School, selected Army Intelligence as his career path, and was trained in Electronic Warfare and Cryptology. Shortly thereafter he became an Army Communications Protocol Officer in Japan.
Service to their country is a long-standing tradition in the Zoll Family, covering three generations. Zoll said simply, “Military service was expected of us.” Zoll served in the Army for 22 years. He elaborated on his family’s military service. “My Dad John G. Zoll was a full colonel and was a field hospital commander during World War II. He served at the Battle of the Bulge. He told me when I went into the Army, ‘Be wise, be patient, and be aware of everything around you.’ After he was on active duty, Dad went into the Army Reserves. My brother John C. Zoll was a sergeant and served in the artillery in Vietnam. My sister Mary Martha served in the Army and was a Specialist Fourth Class and my younger brother Emmett served in both the Coast Guard and the Navy. My wife Sally Ann and I have a son Corey who is a full Colonel and is graduating from the Army War College in July. We’re very proud of him.” While stationed in Japan, Zoll worked closely with the commanding general of the Army Security Agency. Zoll picked up the story, “One night at dinner the General asked me, ‘Have you had a combat tour?’ I said no. The general said, ‘If you are going to stay in the Army, you have to have a combat tour.’ Three weeks later I got orders for Vietnam. He was trying to help my career.”

This ID card enabled Zoll in his role as an Army Intelligence Officer with the 22nd Division Advisory Radio Research Team in Vietnam, access to any air flight at any time. Zoll served in Vietnam from March 1972 to February 1973.
Prior to his posting in Vietnam, where he served from March 1972 to February 1973, Zoll went to language school to learn Vietnamese. He was then assigned to the 22nd Division Advisory Radio Research Team in Vietnam. “Our mission was to intercept, decode, translate and encode lowlevel voice communication among the Viet Cong or the North Vietnamese Army,” Zoll explained. “The concept was the information would go all the way around the world to the United States and back to Vietnam in 24 hours. We would get the coordinates where the Viet Cong or the North Vietnamese were, airlift in, and move to the coordinates to see what we could intercept.” The loss of friends in battle had a profound impact on Zoll. “The challenge you faced is you had a team and you operated as a team. If someone was a casualty, you would call a helicopter in to pick them up and you would never see them again. You didn’t get attached to anybody.” One morning while walking out of a bar in Vietnam at 10 a.m., Zoll figured something was wrong with this picture and decided to do something about it. “The war was winding down and we were getting fewer and fewer assignments. We were responsible for ourselves, without a headquarters, so we had a lot of down time.” A meeting with the Mother Superior of an orphanage and leprosarium in Vietnam to discuss a volunteer effort, began in a very unusual way. Zoll said, “I walked into what looked like Shangri-La, an area that faced toward the South China Sea. There were Catholic statues everywhere. There was an area where I parked that was the distance of a football field away from the leprosarium. I got out of the jeep, in uniform and loaded for bear. Then a huge black dog came out of nowhere, running straight for me. I got back in the jeep, got my rifle off my shoulder and started to chamber a round. 18

Then were was a whistle and the dog stopped a foot in front of the jeep. The dog and I walked back to the Mother Superior together. She asked me to leave my weapons in the jeep. I objected at first, but she said, ‘Please do it for me.’ I dropped the weapons and went in. They had a French meal set up for us, (Zoll’s 12-man unit) including roasted chicken. It was the first time in seven months that we felt human. We ate at a long table with silverware, crystal and china.” After discussing with the Mother Superior that he and his unit wished to assist the orphanage during their down time, she responded that buildings needed to be constructed and she wanted someone to work with 15 orphans, between the ages of four and 15. But there were some restrictions that were met with some token resistance from his men. Zoll said, “The rules were we couldn’t wear uniforms; we had to be in civilian clothes; we couldn’t bring weapons to the hospital; and the times we could work were from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.” The first three points were understandable considering the circumstances but placing a time restriction for a volunteer effort seemed confusing. Zoll explained, “There was a hospital component at the leprosarium and we suspected they were providing medical services to the Viet Cong. The nuns set it up as a non-weapons area and they probably said the same thing to the Viet Cong.” Early in their interaction with the orphans, Zoll noticed a portion of the group wasn’t responding. Zoll said, “In fact, they stayed away from us. So, I asked the Mother Superior, ‘Why don’t these children interact with us.?’ She said they are deaf and don’t communicate. I thought, we can fix that, so we wrote Gallaudet University (in Washington, D.C.) and we asked them to send us some materials on teaching the deaf. And we started teaching ourselves sign language as we taught it to them. And we got to work on our Vietnamese.”
FEATURE
Along the way, Zoll’s unit constructed three buildings for the orphanage, including the acquisition of the materials needed for the projects. “We wrote up the supply lists we needed, which we thought would cost $2,000. That was our annual limit for materials. When we left, we had $10,000 in materials for just $200. My first sergeant took care of the details. That was quite a deal and we did that three times. Because we weren’t attached to a headquarters, someone had to ‘steal’ a deuce-and-a-half (a two and-ahalf ton cargo truck) to take the supplies to the orphanage. I never asked how we got it.” As his tour in Vietnam concluded, Zoll applied to be admitted into the master’s program at Smith College (Northampton, Massachesetts) in Deaf Education. He also holds a master’s degree in educational administration and education from the University of San Diego, and a PhD from USD in educational leadership. His last degree came with an added bonus, as that was where he met his wife Sally Ann Zoll, who was also in the process of earning her PhD. She is the CEO of the United Through Reading Program, a position she has held since January 2007. The couple has two children Cory and Chelsea and four grandchildren Ethan, Sadie, Quinten and Shane Annabelle. Backtracking a bit, armed with a freshly minted master’s degree from Smith College, Zoll started his career in education at the Rochester (New York) School for the Deaf, which included designing and teaching a life skills course to his students. Zoll eventually decided to become a principal, completed his masters at USD and accepted a position as Assistant Principal at Torrey Pines High School. About that time, Proposition 13 passed and education jobs in California became scarce. Zoll became the principal at a combination junior high/high school in Miami, Arizona. That was followed by becoming the principal at University of San Diego High School (now Cathedral Catholic) for five years; principal at Coronado Middle School for two years; then working for an educational software company. Other positions in education included a stint as the principal at Imperial High School; a three-year run as principal at Valley Center Middle School; six years as Superintendent of the Julian High School District; and then serving as the high school principal at the St. Helena
School District in Napa. Zoll characterized that position as, “The best five years of my life.” The job in St. Helena came with some logistical challenges as Sally was working in Dallas, the couple kept their home in Coronado, and Jim had an apartment in St. Helena. Sally said of the experience, “Mostly I flew to St. Helena because Jim had weekend events and all kinds of things. It was an extraordinary time.” Then in a full circle life moment, Zoll took a final job teaching position, working with deaf students in the San Diego Unified School District. Sally said, “Jim would come home so relaxed from teaching, as opposed to years of being in administration. He used to come home and talk about the kids. He had wonderful stories.” In retirement now for a year and a half, Jim, a 24-year member of the Optimist Club of Coronado (note he is wearing an Optimist Club shirt in the accompanying photo with Sally Ann), now supports her in her work and travel on behalf of United Through Reading. His interests include reading and gardening. All of which is a long way from the war in Vietnam, his moment of self-reflection and decision to help others, and finally a career devoted to educating children.
Jim and Sally Ann Zoll have been married since 1985 and both have had careers in education. Jim served in Army Intelligence for 22 years. Later, he served as a teacher to deaf children and also worked in educational administration. Sally is the CEO of the non-profit organization United Through Reading.

Patriotic Pacifiers, Tips for a Stress Free 4th of July )
(kinda
by Hattie Foote Ah… Fourth of July in Coronado. There is really nothing like it, and I am confident that there is no other town that knows how to celebrate our beautiful country like we do. We don’t just eat a hot dog and wave a sparkler. Ohhhh, no. We hit the ground running, and don’t quit until the firework smoke settles.
It is a grand day, but a long day, especially with kids. I feel a fluid game plan is essential, so I am going to give you a rundown on what our day looks like. Hopefully you’ll find some helpful ideas for your own family. First off, I have a confession to make. We have never sat and watched the whole parade. I just can’t bring myself to wake up before the sun rises to claim my spot. I give major props to the people who are organized and caffeinated enough to do that. We are definitely more of a wandering family, and I have discovered that a wagon is life changing. Load that thing to the brim with all your survival tools for the day and you will be prepared for anything.

Decorating your transportation as a family the night before is a festive activity to get the party started. I like to take the kids to Coronado Hardware to pick out the decor; that place has it all! Being the nomads we are, I like to bring a themed treat to hand out to our friends who welcome us into their parade spots. It can be as easy as decorating Rice Krispie treats or sugar cookies with sprinkles or M&M’s. Keep it easy so the kids can be involved when you make them. One of my absolute favorite things about the holiday is how it brings everyone together. So hand those treats out and meet your neighbors!
As the parade winds down, we walk home and regroup. I put the kids and husband down for a nap as I prepare for the next phase of the day. I restock the wagon with refreshments, blankets, and jackets.

We make our rounds to the different parties around town, a Concert in the Park that begins at 4 p.m. in Spreckels Park, then head to the Coronado Yacht Club to barbecue dinner. So many activities! If you have made it this far, you are exhausted, sunburned, and stuffed. Just hold on for those fireworks, because, man, are they worth it! The golf course gives a spectacular view of the show over Glorietta Bay. You can also catch the Big Bay Boom over at the Ferry Landing. Both start at 9 p.m. I have also noticed glow stick necklaces are hugely popular with the kids as it gets darker, so I will definitely grab some of those!
Now watching with kids can go one of two ways. Magical or a nightmare, you won’t know until that first pop! Oh those little rascals always keeping us on our toes.
The day is long. I feel like we need a vacation after the 4th, it’s exhausting! (Luckily I know of the perfect beach to recover at the next day!) Remember it’s a marathon not a sprint. Kids make it so special, even if there are a few meltdowns along the way. Enjoy your family, friends, and community as we honor our great nation. Cheers to the Red Wine & Blue (lame mom joke)!
Happy Birthday America!

elebrate Your History Our Country’s History by Denise Lyon
T
he Fourth of July is one of Coronado’s biggest celebrations, complete with picnics at the park, music, an old fashioned parade, and lots of family and friends in town, all set against the backdrop of the Hotel Del Coronado and our beautiful ocean. This year when you break out the usual red, white and blue decorations, add a little of your own history and traditions to your celebration. Bring back fond memories like the taste of your mom’s cherry pie, picnics at the beach full of sand and drenched in sun, and looking forward to staying up late to watch the fireworks. These recollections remind us of simpler times and transport us to fond memories of family and friends. We will hopefully remember that it’s never too late to make memories or start a new tradition. This year I am using a farm table that was made about the same time the Declaration of Independence was signed. I think of its history, of all the places this table has been over the years and everyone that has gathered around it to share a meal. This table helps take me back in time to our country’s rich and eventful past, full of people that over the years have given so much to show their love of our country. You too can celebrate a few of your family’s traditions by doing something that captures your family’s history and takes you through the window of time. It doesn’t matter if it is a barbecue that includes your dad’s recipe for ribs, a tablecloth from your grandmother, watching the parade or fireworks or establishing a new family tradition. Just add red, white and blue to make this Fourth of July inspiring and memorable. Wishing you sparkling Fourth of July, full of sun, fun and family! 2018 Coronado Magazine - July

How to Make American Flag Mason Jars • 4 Mason jars • Red, white and blue acrylic, spray or bottled, or chalk paint • Paint brushes, one about ½ inch thick and one fine tipped brush • Washi or painter’s tape • Thick twine Lay out newspapers on your painting surface. Paint three Mason jars white, one jar blue. • Create the stripes by using a white jar and tape off the areas you want to paint red stripes with Washi tape. When the red paint is dry, remove the tape from the jar promptly. You can always touch up mistakes with a fine paintbrush. • For stars, use a white jar and cover it with removable star stickers. After applying the stickers to jar, paint everything over with blue paint. When dry, remove the star stickers. • To get a distressed look use sand paper or an emery board on the smaller spaces around the raised lettering on the jar to make the lettering stand out. • Tie a bow with a piece of thick twine around the top of the jar. *Optional: Spray the Mason jars with a coat of clear enamel spray paint. 36

Savor Summer Off the Beaten Path
by Kel Casey
Summer in Coronado. It’s a love/hate relationship. It is, after all, summer. It’s shorts and flip flops. It’s sangria, the concerts in the park, and lemonade stands. It’s dining al fresco, music on the patio, and of course, our beloved beach. That’s the love part. There is also the traffic, and the crowds, and the six seater bike surreys desperately trying pedal across Third and Fourth Streets at 1 p.m. on a Friday afternoon. It’s still paradise, just more … people-y. A lot more people-y. As a local, I recognize how ridiculously fortunate I am to be able to say “I live here.” I know that traffic and surreys and people are part of the Coronado culture. But once in a while, I need a little respite from the cacophony of summer in a resort town. To maintain a sliver of sanity during the high tourist months, I’ve found a few tips, tricks, and places that allow me to enjoy the summer months in our village in a relatively low-stress way.
Café 1134 Start early. If you are a member of the dawn patrol crowd, you already know this. Summer vacay might be great for sleeping in, but sleeping in is not great if you’re looking to avoid a crowd. Hitting your fave coffee shop before 8 a.m. ensures a good parking spot and a short wait, even in the busy blocks of Orange Avenue. I like to hit up Café 1134 for a Mexican Mocha and a Mexicano burrito- stuffed with eggs, and soy chorizo, potatoes and avocado, it’s easily enough for two. Find a seat upstairs and spend a little time catching up on emails, reading, or daydreaming. Go late. Coronado is a family-friendly destination. Families get tired after a day at the beach or the Safari Park, and aren’t inclined to a lot of late night clubbing. Thankfully, we have a few spots in town that are perfect for late evening noshing. Saiko Sushi is open until 9 p.m., so you can pop in before they close and have a sake flight and a piece of their insanely decadent cheesecake du jour. Yes, cheesecake. Trust me here. (You’re welcome.) Night and Day café is open, well, all night and day, and they offer up a righteous plate of carne asada fries. It’s also the home of Hector’s famous shrimp omelet and the most outrageous plate of chocolate chip pancakes you’ve ever dreamed about. 40
2018 Coronado Magazine - July
Calypso Café Early and late are also great options for the beach and bay. Hit the beach at dawn or twilight, and your only company might be a soaring pelican or pod of dolphins. If you time it right, you can explore the jetty at low tide, but remember, the jetty is part of a delicate ecosystem, so tread carefully and look, don’t touch. Take the time to explore the dunes along Ocean Boulevard as well as the shore, and you might see rock squirrels, or a rabbit near Dog Beach!
Wander off the beaten path. While Orange Avenue has plenty to offer tourists and locals alike, some of my favorite hangouts and shops are on the side streets or a short trek down the Strand. Furthest away, and maybe one of Coronado’s best kept secrets is Calypso Café, in the Cays. Parking is always plentiful, and the fare is fresh, varied and delicious, with Italian, Middle Eastern, and Mexican dishes available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their lamb kebabs, chicken mole, and amazing hummus are all standout menu items. Not far off of Orange Avenue is Chez Loma, the quaint ‘n cozy historic home converted to a French restaurant on Loma Avenue. You can indulge in a fine multi-course meal in the main dining areas, or enjoy happy hour at the tiny bar, where the full menu is also available. Happy hour offerings include plump duck tacos, served with avocado, cilantro and lime, and a juicy burger and frites. Their frites are some of the best in the area— thin, hot, and wholly addictive. Try ‘em. You’ll see. 2018 Coronado Magazine - July
41
Forego the restaurant altogether and grab an overstuffed sandwich and side from one of our local liquor stores and enjoy it in one of our quiet parks (but clean up your trash before the gulls find it, please!). My teens and I are partial to Central Liquor, where you can’t go wrong with a gyro, the “Californian” (my daughter’s fave) or a Ruben and a container of potato salad. Other options are Avenue Liquor and Wine (adjacent to Vons at Ninth and Orange), and Park Place Liquor and Deli. Buy a lottery ticket while you’re there, take your sammy to the beach or Rotary Park, or my favorite, Bayview Park at the end of I Avenue, and dream a little dream while you’re making your tummy happy.

What is the Value of a House?
1116 Tenth Street
Part I - The Hammer Family - 1886-1913
by Luan Troxel What is the value of a house? This is a question many of us ponder when we consider buying homes for ourselves. In an environment such as Coronado where prices are high and land is scarce, we find that many very expensive real estate transactions result in a house being torn down because the underlying value of the property mostly hinges on the land. In other words, in such a scenario, we consider the value of the house to not be all that great. On the other hand, we often ponder the question, too, at more poignant moments in life, such as when our families (often older parents) move from what we consider to be our family homes. Then, the value of a house hinges on so much more than the real estate value. It is the same for a community when we contemplate the value of an old building – something which the community of Coronado routinely does as its residents tend to care deeply about the community and maintaining a sense of its history. We see the building as a physical reminder of our history and as an opportunity to learn more about it – to understand where we, as a community, come from and where we have been. It is in that vein that I decided to uncover what I could about the building at 1116 Tenth Street, which I have started referring to as the “Eagle House,” because of its quarter century association with Coronado’s longest-running newspaper. How valuable is this house – what does it tell us about the history of Coronado? 2018 Coronado Magazine - July
47
What does it share with a broader history of the United States – are there common themes that we see by virtue of who lived in the house and what they did there? How can it inform our understanding of how much has changed and how much has stayed the same? And, finally, how does knowing the history of our community impact the way we see our world? The lot on which the Eagle house is now located shows up on the 1886 map of Coronado which shows the lot layout of the Coronado Beach Company. The lot changed hands several times before William O. Hammer owned it. William and his father, Olaf, were some of the earliest residents of Coronado proper. Olaf appeared for the first time in the Coronado section of the San Diego directory in 1889/1890. So, he arrived 48
in Coronado at least one year before it was incorporated as a city and just about the same time as the completion of the construction of the Hotel Del Coronado. And a local news story put William here as early as 1887, when it reported that he bravely jumped on a runaway Wells, Fargo wagon and prevented the team of horses from causing a “serious accident.” Indeed, according to an article in the Coronado newspaper in 1931, “Mr. Hammer is one of Coronado’s earliest and bestknown residents and property owners.” In fact, given that the U.S. census put the population of Coronado at 935 in 1900, William and his family were easily among the first 1,000 residents of the City of Coronado.
There, he married and that is where his son, William, was born in 1866 or 1868. William came with his parents to Coronado and followed his father into the painting business. However, he far surpassed his father in business, for many years listing himself as a painter, later as a painter and paper-hanger, and eventually, as the treasurer of the Otay Oil Company. More relevant for our town, however, was that he became a major owner of commercial property on Orange Avenue. According to San Diego County Lot Books, the lot that the Eagle House is on appears to have been sold by 1892 -1893 at the latest, but a house did not appear on the lot until 1897 – which makes it a very old house for Coronado, having been built within ten years of the completion Olaf was a painter, native to Denmark, of the Hotel Del. William was apparently who had first moved to Salt Lake City, its first resident and owned the lot. But, Utah, prior to coming to California. by 1902, he and Olaf had bought up
2018 Coronado Magazine - July
three parcels which roughly encompassed the land on which today sits the Troxel* Building on the corner of Orange Avenue and Tenth, the Eagle House and the El Cordova Garage. Hammer became a quite prominent figure in Coronado. Not only were he and his wife, Cora, actively involved in local politics as election judges and clerks, they also had an active social life. Professionally, however, he was most associated with the development of Orange Avenue real estate. He purchased and developed commercial properties up and down Orange Avenue, including 965 Orange Avenue in 1931, which the Eagle and Journal touted as “a substantial modern business block … in modernistic style … The foundation and walls of the building will be substantial enough to bear the weight of a second story if the future should make it advisable to add one.” And, he caused a bit of a stir when rumor got around the same year that he was considering making 975 Orange Avenue into a mortuary. Also, the same year, he was issued a building permit for a store building at 947 Orange Avenue and was identified with 969 Orange Avenue. And, he was, in 1922, the builder of 1007 Orange Avenue, with two stores downstairs and two apartments up. Before he was all that, though, William O. Hammer lived in the little house on Tenth Street. He remained there until at least 1909. Other members of his family appear to have resided there at times until about 1913, at which time, two of the lots that had belonged to the Hammer family reverted to the next long-term resident family, according to the tax records. The one parcel that remained with the Hammer family was the one facing Orange Avenue (Troxel Building). Next issue: Value of a House: The Schramm and Griffin Families - 1913 -1960

First Hand Learning Lessons
Designing My House as an Interior Designer By Jessica Tompane of J Hill Interiors
My husband and I feel extremely blessed to have the unique opportunity of building our home from scratch here in Coronado. We never dreamt to be able to do something like this, but life is like that. You just never know what is around the corner! We are 95 percent
complete with the project and hope to move in this summer (final pictures to come soon). Even though I have designed dozens of homes for clients, been a part of dozens of renovations and several new construction projects, there were still
some key reminders that stick out in my mind. If by sharing this, I could save you hassle, time or money, I see it as a win! I believe there is always an opportunity to learn, thus, I used this experience as a way to expand my knowledge and learn more about my own industry.
2018 Coronado Magazine - July

INTERIOR DESIGN Complete all design decisions way sooner than you think: For our clients, we do this before any construction begins, but chances are, if you are doing your own home, you are going to wait till last minute to make design decisions. However, don’t do that. The reality is that as soon as framing is done, they will need your plumbing valves. Thus, you need all your plumbing fixture selections on site quickly thereafter as well as the quantities and locations called out. To select the finish and style, you need to know what else is being implemented in those spaces. What cabinet color/ stain are you doing? What light fixtures are going in there? What are your tile and countertop selections? Before construction begins, pick out everything for each space, down to cabinet hardware and paint colors. Your design will be more thought out, cohesive and rushed decisions will be mitigated. My husband and I did that, and we are so happy we did. There were little to no rushed decisions on materials and finishes.
First things first - Demolition Phase
Cabinetry is the critical path: Order your cabinetry way sooner than you think is necessary. I even knew that going into it, had the drawings done six months ahead of time, and yet still we pulled the trigger a little late on executing the actual cabinetry order. That mistake put a heavy burden on the back end because most finishing trades are contingent on the cabinets being installed. I have also seen on other job sites where the cabinetry delays put heavy time and financial burdens on the client and/or other trades. Be proactive on cabinetry!

2018 Coronado Magazine - July
Don’t skimp on: Lighting, finished carpentry and flooring. We were lucky to have an amazing finished carpenter, but wow, what a difference it makes. Also, really study finish packages. You don’t have to do the most generic package out there. Sometimes doing something a little more unique costs the same as a conventional trim detail. Flooring and lighting are other aspects that are aesthetic but also highly functional. If you can, spend a little more on your flooring product, as well as ensure you have a sufficient general lighting plan (recessed lights) along with decorating lighting fixtures throughout to add some interest to your home. I tried to use sconces and pendants anywhere I could in the home and it made a huge difference. They all just got installed last week actually! Think of light fixtures as jewelry for your home.
INTERIOR DESIGN Don’t submit anything unless it is 100 percent final. It is very easy to have preliminary notes, drawings and schedules, etc., mixed up with final drawings due to how many moving parts are in a new construction or renovation project. Sometimes it’s tempting to send information to keep people moving, but it ends up just being confusing. Inevitably, an old version or note will get mixed up with a final version and it can cause challenges later on. Take the time to plan out all information, schedules, drawings, etc., up front to avoid confusion later on.
Framing & construction underway
Note the substantial recessed lighting used
Underbuilding vs. Overbuilding Overbuilding is generally considered unwise unless it truly is your forever home, however, underbuilding is just as unwise depending on the situation. If you are cognoscente of your home’s resell value, especially with Coronado homes’ price points, stay away from things that could possibly deter buyers: Cheap window packages, vinyl/laminate flooring and low quality cabinetry. Those are the top things I notice are tempting for people to implement for budget’s sake, but in the long-term, you may lose out on potential gains. Your team is the most important factor. Construction, especially in the case of new construction, could be a multi-year commitment with whomever you hire. First off, make sure you trust the company. Secondly, make sure you like the company and the people you will be working with most (your project manager). Third, make sure they have reputable experience in the city where the construction will take place (especially if permitting is involved). There were so many hurdles and challenges that inevitably occurred, and through that, we are incredibly grateful for who we hired. Don’t hire, or not hire, a builder or architect solely based on their costs or fees. Take into consideration all of the above and how the company or individual would fair under imminent construction challenges. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. If you would like referrals to who we worked with, feel free to email me directly: Jessica@jhillinteriors.com 2018 Coronado Magazine - July

Have fun and take risks! Even on client work, I always get a little nervous right before an installation and think things like, “Oh no, what if that wallpaper was too risky? What if that rug doesn’t go with the sofa? I should have gone more neutral on the tile to match perfectly.” However, as soon as the goods are installed, I wished I would have taken even more risks. I took a lot of risk with our home and I am so glad I did. We used some pretty funky wallpapers and did some pretty unconventional things, but it’s really what gives the wow factor. At the end of the day, it’s our home, so if we like it, that’s all that matters! Happy constructing!

THEN & NOW
The Coronado Historical Association Presents
Blue Stars on the Fourth of July by Vickie Stone, Registrar & Curator of Collections
A pilot stands in front of an airplane that is parked on Rockwell Field on North Island, 1919. Collection of the Coronado Historical Association.
The Coronado Historical Association is proud to announce its participation in the ninth annual Blue Star Museums, a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and more than 2,000 museums across America. The program offers free admission to the nation’s active duty military personnel and their families for the whole summer through Labor Day. This Fourth of July, we invite military families to visit our museum as part of the Blue Star Museum program. “Visiting a museum is a great way to get to know a community—whether it’s in your hometown or a stop on a road trip,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu.
Association’s family learning exhibit John D. Spreckels: The Man, The Legacy covers the development of North Island as a military installation. Spreckels’ invitation to Glenn Curtis in 1911 and the government seizure of the property prior to World War I decidedly ensured that the military was woven into the fabric of Coronado forever. It will run through August 31.
Later, in the thick of World War II in 1943, the Navy expanded to a plot of land that was built after the dredging of the bay and it was developed to train landing craft crews. After the war, they expanded to create the Naval Amphibious Base, one of the training facilities for the Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) and the Sea, Land, and Air Teams (SEALs). There is a section of the permanent exhibit devoted to UDTs and Navy SEALs. Coronado’s military legacy is shown through items from the early land development to support Men sitting on the beach during training at the of the military operations through Navy Naval Amphibious Training Base in Coronado, 1949. SEAL involvement in the Vietnam War.
At the Coronado Historical Association we offer military families engaging exhibits and fun family programs as ways to connect to Coronado’s Collection of the Coronado Historical Association. community. On display now, the 62
Another highlight is the museum’s permanent exhibit “Coronado Enchanted Island” which details how the military played an essential role in the city’s development. By 1937, two airfields were commissioned and the Navy covered all of North Island.

While the Association’s museum is always free, active military personnel and their families will get 10 percent off in the museum shop on July Fourth. Coronado’s special connection to the military makes 4th of July celebrations some of the most patriotic, festive, and brilliant in the country. From floats in the parade to demonstrations in Glorietta Bay, the military help make Independence Day traditions memorable. This July Fourth, we hope that military families stop by for us to say “thank you” for your service.

A Jewel in the Crown
S
an Diego’s most iconic beachfront property, The Hotel del Coronado, was the largest resort hotel in the world when it opened in 1888. J. Bartlett Richards, a wealthy Nebraska cattleman and banker, crossed paths with the influential architectural duo of William Hebbard and Irving Gill while staying at the hotel. Irving Gill was known to frequent the hotel bar in search of his next architectural commission. After some discussions, a deal was struck to purchase Coronado’s most eligible oceanfront parcel from Isabella Babcock, daughter of one of Coronado’s founding fathers Elisha Babcock.
2018 Coronado Magazine - July
65
A notice of completion for the project was signed in 1903. The result was perhaps the largest and most spectacular house on the peninsula; a 13,000-square foot English Tudor home to extensive gardens designed by Kate Sessions. The threestory mansion was constructed of timber and dark red brick sourced from the Coronado Brick Yard once located on the Silver Strand north of Imperial Beach. The initial ownership of the estate was short lived. J. Bartlett Richards was imprisoned by the Theodore Roosevelt Administration on federal charges, the result of allegations that Mr. Richards had fenced in federal lands to allow his livestock to graze. Richards died in prison, and the property was sold. 66
2018 Coronado Magazine - July
Walter Hamlin and Florence Kenneth Dupee purchased the property in 1913. They commissioned architect Frederick L. Roehrig (designer of Hotel Greene in Pasadena) to expand the residence. At the time Coronado had become the polo capital of the West Coast, and Mr. Dupee was in need of living quarters for his polo team. The estate became famous for it’s raucous parties during the competition season. The Dupees also hired internationally known interior designer Elsie de Wolfe to act as a resident party planner. Her custom designed green and white lawn umbrellas would later inspire the official colors of the City of Coronado.
The property again changed ownership when Mr. Dupee died. His widow remarried famed California Congressman George Burnham, and the family resided in the home until the 1950’s. The property was then sold to the Van Ness family of Arizona. The estate was subdivided and reduced in size after the passing in 1975 of its previous owner, Arizona businessman C.E. Van Ness. The development group subdivided the gardens of the property into 6 separate residences which now line Loma Avenue and Star Park Circle. The developers were 1 vote short in their petition to the City Council to convert the main residence into a bed and breakfast. After the failed vote, the developers sold the remaining estate to the Pastor family of Coronado.
In the mid 1970’s the then dilapidated Hotel Del Coronado was undergoing an $80 million restoration under the supervision of it’s owner, influential businessman Larry Lawrence. At the behest of his wife Shelia, Lawrence bought the estate in 1983 from the Pastors. The Lawrence family undertook an extensive 5 year renovation of the property in the early 1990s. The project marked a return to the estate’s former glory and providence. Larry and Shelia Lawrence renamed the property Crown Manor, a name that is still revered in local circles.
2018 Coronado Magazine - July

Larry and Shelia Lawrence would regularly open their home for community events and poltical fundraising. Larry Lawrence was one of the largest donors to the Democratic party in the 1980’s and 1990s. Crown Manor has been host to nearly all contemporary California and national politicians, including Governor Jerry Brown. Pundits referred to Crown Manor as the Western White House during Bill and Hillary Clinton’s well documented visits during the presidency. Larry Lawrence died in 1996 after being named US Ambassador to Sweden. Shelia sold the property in 2000. The current owners purchased the property in 2003. The architectural and historical integrity of the English Manor remains intact today, including the large central entrance with a foyer separating the grand salon – resplendent with a 24-karat gold ceiling – and a music room – with antique light fixtures and ornate wall paintings – on each side. The kitchen was redesigned to host dinner parties of up to 250 people. The half-dozen bedrooms on the second floor were transformed into a private suite, including a bedroom, bath, dressing area, living room, dining area, kitchen, and two adjoining offices. The more numerous bedrooms of the third floor were gutted to serve different purposes. Servant quarters were built over the four-car garage, accessible by a connecting elevated walkway. Outside the house, the grounds were reshaped to include sculptures in the front and back, a koi pond, and three murals featuring reproductions of art by Monet, Matisse, and Renoir.

Coronado Cooks: Beverly Bass-Press Contributor Linda L. Austin Linda L. Austin is also a contributor to the E&J with a monthly column “The Grandmother I Always Wanted.”
The Hotel del Coronado is a significant landmark in Coronado’s history and, also, in Beverly Bass-Press’ history. Many residents are familiar with her “Hotel del Coronado Cook Book” which reflects her association with the hotel in many capacities, but especially as Food and Beverage Director. Some of the elegant recipes featured at various functions of the hotel, as well as tales of visiting celebrities, serve to document her 15 years there. For Bass-Press, the spectacular presentation was as much a part of the meal as what the guests ate. The visual aspect had to match the allure of the food’s taste. The artistic flare came 70

“Bass-Press’ fascination with food and cooking started early. At eight years old, she was making fudge, and by twelve she was famous for her tuna salad.” Lawrence ripped the resignation letter to shreds and convinced her to stay one more year. However, when she went to sign the new contract, she noticed it obligated her to three years. The 100th birthday party of the Del on Feb. 19, 1988, took three years to plan. Seven hundred invited guests were to mingle with one hundred celebrities who had some connection with the Del. The chefs worked with Bass-Press to create memorable dishes for the birthday party meant to beat all birthday parties. The event was a grand finale to her career at the hotel. Bass-Press retired in 1989 and remembers her fifteen years with the Hotel del Coronado with smiles. Grueling hours, no sleep or a little sleep at the hotel before the next event, but a chance to shine and be the expert while doing what she enjoyed was reward enough. Never one to simply sit back and let life pass, she soon approached Lawrence for permission to write a Hotel del Coronado Cook Book, frequently requested by hotel guests. With full cooperation from the chefs, she chose recipes featured at special events while remembering they were for the home kitchen. The book, still in publication, was first printed in 1993. Besides, the Del cookbook, her favorite cookbooks are Settlement Cookbook and Julia Child’s French Cookbook. On a book signing tour in Philadelphia, she met Julia Child and has a picture with her.

Bass-Press’ fascination with food and cooking started early. At eight years old, she was making fudge, and by twelve she was famous for her tuna salad. For a surprise birthday party for her mom, she fixed tomatoes in a rose shape stuffed with tuna salad and French rolls. When her parents returned home from their shoe store, the fire department greeted them. The house was filled with smoke from the broiler. Her love of cooking persists. When she traveled extensively, she would search out the regional dishes, return home, and replicate them. Now she prefers making down home food or comfort food, finger food, and sensational salads. She enjoys cooking, but unlike her mother who created delicious chiffon pies in multiple flavors, Bass-Press is not a baker. Her goto dessert is a strawberry, banana, Jello creation, but she does sometimes make a yellow cake with brown sugar and pineapple. While Bass-Press strives for healthy foods, she avoids organic foods and margarine. Butter is her staple.
Entertaining heads her favorite activities, as you might imagine. For lunch her menu often includes ham salad and deviled eggs. Dinner is buffet style, so Cheese Burger Loaf guests can choose what they like. Her buffet always has five items: two entrees, “Once you have treated yourself to a burger this way, you will not be patronizing your local Burger King.” – Beverly Bass-Press an exotic salad, a unique vegetable such as ¾ pound lean ground beef Egg Wash: Separate 1 egg.

ASK AN EXPERT: Estate Plans
Jefferson J. Rotherham, CFP® Director of Financial Planning The Gensler Group Wealth Management Solutions 619-554-1300
Do I need a Trust? – Estate Planning On occasion I meet with people who have meaningful assets, and when the conversation rolls around to estate planning they will make a comment such as the following, “Do I really need to spend the money for a Living Trust? I believe my beneficiaries are up to date and I completed a Will a while ago.” One of the major benefits of creating a Living Trust is the process forces one to fully think through their estate plan and what is significant to them. Upon their passing, their property can then be disposed of as they saw fit according to their wishes. A Trust also offers several other benefits such as: • Assets held in the Trust can avoid the cost of probate (which in CA can be substantial). • Assets held in the Trust can usually transfer much quicker and more efficiently than probate. • One can make contingency plans if they were to become physically or mentally incapacitated. • Financial affairs can be kept private. Probate is public. • Usually, when going through the process to create a Trust, one will also complete any necessary or desired Powers of Attorney (POA) and medical directives. This can help round out an estate plan.
You’ve Got Questions?
With all those advantages (plus others not mentioned), why doesn’t everyone have a trust? Creating a trust does involve an upfront commitment of thought, time, and expense which can be daunting for some. Often, we do not like to take the time to consider our passing. As an example, try a Google search of “famous millionaires that died intestate.” Yes, there are that many wealthy people who never took the time to even complete a Will, much less a Trust, and in many cases their estate paid dearly in the form of fees and time spent distributing.
We’ve got Answers!
Does everyone’s situation require a Trust? Probably not. Many accounts can avoid probate if they are titled correctly (Joint Tenancy, Payable On Death, Transfer On Death) or have beneficiaries designated (such as 401ks, IRAs, 403bs). Additionally, for relatively “small estates,” California does offer what some may consider “a simplified or streamlined probate process”.

2018 Coronado Magazine - July
In the end, it is a personal decision if a Trust is right for your situation. Ensuring assets pass per one’s wishes and bypass probate can be extremely beneficial… Unless of course you are one of Howard Hughes’ distant cousins.

Do you need an estate plan for your digital assets? With traditional estate planning, you take steps to ensure that your executor or personal representative can access the information needed to gather and safeguard your assets, contact creditors, and, if necessary, oversee your business after your passing. This can be challenging with digital assets if you do not arrange the proper authorization ahead of time. Digital assets include your online financial accounts, your personal e-mail accounts, and your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts. The assets may or may not have a value. For example, you might own a domain name for your small business, which would have value, but the photos you uploaded to Shutterfly have sentimental value only.
something similar, on your social media accounts. You may assign different roles to different people. For example, you may decide to appoint one person as your executor and another to have access to certain social media accounts.
Your executor should be able to access information on your computer’s hard drive relatively easily with the help of a technician. But this may not be the case for online accounts and data stored remotely. Even if you give your usernames and passwords to your executor or a family member, he or she may run up against service-agreement limitations that deny him or her the ability to access, manage, distribute, copy, delete, or even close accounts. Further, “unauthorized use” laws can lead to legal issues for your representatives if they are deemed to have exceeded permissible access levels.
Consider investing in a password manager. Sites such as LastPass and Dashlane maintain a record of your online accounts and passwords in a digital safe. You can set them up to transfer the passwords to your representative at a specific event, such as your death or incapacity.
Don’t assume your digital estate has no value. Some frequent flyer points are transferable after your death. Credit cards with cash-back feature stores are generally redeemable after your death, but only if they are claimed. Internet domain names are potentially sellable, and blogs are a form of intellectual property.
How can you ensure that fiduciaries and family members have access to your assets?
• Ask your attorney about inserting provisions into your will that grant your executor the authority to access your non-financial Fortunately, lawmakers are starting to pay attention. A new digital assets and accounts. statute, the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA), addresses whether and how a family member, executor, • Talk to your attorney about adding language to grant your powerattorney-in-fact, or trustee can access digital assets.

It is important to create an inventory of your digital assets. Be sure to store this inventory somewhere other than an e-mail account. • Check online service providers’ policies on death or disability. Each Some e-mail providers, like Yahoo!, will close an account that has provider has its own access-authorization tools, and the terms vary, been inactive for several months and delete the e-mail history. so be sure you understand who can and can’t access information.
