Polo at the Del
Melissa Ganzi Works to Spread the Appeal of the Sport of Polo by David Axelson
If you appreciate people who are capable of successfully
handling many distinct elements simultaneously, then Melissa Potamkin Ganzi is the person for you. She is a true polo multihyphenate, as an active player-patron-promoter-horse breederand historian. She is also the mother two polo players, as well as the wife of Marc Ganzi, a championship-winning player in his own right. Additionally, Melissa Ganzi has a plan to keep the sport vibrant and relevant in the future. This will be the third year the Ganzis have participated in and been a force behind-the-scenes in the Polo America’s Beach Polo series played at the Hotel Del Coronado. The event returns Friday through Sunday, Sept. 7-9, 2018. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Ganzi is the granddaughter of Victor Potamkin, a prominent Cadillac dealer in the New York area. A description of Ganzi floating around the internet

2018 Coronado Magazine - August
is ‘Cadillac Heiress.’ When asked if she was involved in the current operations of the Potamkin dealerships, Ganzi laughed and said, “No, that started when I played polo against Prince William and I suppose I had to have a title.” While you let that reference sink in, rest assured we return to that topic before this article concludes. Marc Ganzi also has a robust ancestral business background. His internet title is ‘Steakhouse Scion,’ due to the fact his father Wally Ganzi is the co-owner of The Palm Restaurant chain now with three locations in New York City, a total of 22 eateries across the United States, plus a sprinkling of international locations for good measure. Marc Ganzi has also done exceedingly well on his own and was the founder of the cellular infrastructure company Global Tower Partners. He sold that firm and currently he serves as the founder and chairman of Digital Bridge, Inc. Melissa added, “Marc is on the board of a bunch of other
FEATURE companies as well and he works very hard.” The point is that to participate in polo at the level the Ganzis do, some serious financial resources are required. They have been referred to in print as the ‘Royal Couple of Polo.’ The couple has two children, who not surprisingly play polo at a high level. Son Grant Ganzi, 20, attends Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. Daughter Riley, 18, is about to enter her freshman year at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Both Grant and Riley have played in Beach Polo at the Del in the past and Grant will return to compete in Coronado next month. Melissa said of her daughter, “If she can make it this year she will, but it’s not looking good. She just wants to be a college freshman.” Melissa has been around horses since the age of six, and competed in dressage, cross country racing and show jumping. When asked about the cross country event, Ganzi responded, “It’s jumping in a natural setting including anything you can find on a trail, with longer distances between the jumps. I was in the Bridle Wild Pony Club in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. We had to learn about the care of the horse and we all loved our horses. We would have a mounted day with riding instruction, then a book day where we would work on the knowledge of teaching a horse, common issues and concerns. It’s a good program.”
Ganzi’s conversion to polo started in 1995, when she married Marc. “I would ride polo ponies with Marc’s Dad, Wally. And he bought me my first polo pony in December 2000. I started playing polo at the Royal Palm Polo Club with (world-class polo player) Juan Bollini. For me as an equestrian and already knowing how to ride, it was easier to learn to play.” At this juncture, the follow-up question was posed to Melissa about playing polo at various times with Prince Charles, Prince of Wales; Prince William, Duke of Cambridge; and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. “It’s super fun and a unique and wonderful experience. When I played with Charles, it was one of the last times he played polo. Harry also played that day and he is a great rider. Charles was the more accomplished player because he competed more often. Riley just played in a charity event at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club in England July 26. The event was held for Harry’s charity Sentebale, which is located in the nation of Letusi, Africa. He helped build a compound for kids who are HIV positive, to go to camps and receive treatments. It was a St. Regis Hotel event, and we work with them in Aspen, Colorado for our polo events.” When we spoke for our interview, Melissa Ganzi was in Aspen, where the summer polo season runs from July through Labor
FEATURE
Day. The family is also in Aspen in December, a season which includes the Snow Polo World Championships. After the summer season concludes in Aspen, 50 polo ponies owned by the Ganzis will be shipped to Coronado for the Polo America Beach Polo event, before eventually making their way home to Wellington, Florida. The other eight months of the year the family resides in Wellington, which is a hotbed of international polo during the winter months. Melissa also makes a point to participate in the Snow Polo World Cup in St. Moritz, Switzerland. One of the major attractions for Beach Polo is witnessing at close range, the beauty, performance and agility of the horses. Ganzi, who owns between 400 and 450 polo ponies said, “The horses are the most important aspect of the game. It doesn’t matter how good you are as a player if the horse can’t get you there. We have separate strings of horses and we transport horses back and forth between Wellington and Aspen. During the summer, we take some of our younger horses and place them into strings. We have a breeding operation on our Santa Rita Polo Farm in Wellington, and we have a farm in Ocala, Florida where we raise and train the horses. We have had some top stallions and we have won a bunch of awards. In our breeding, we use horses with top Argentine blood lines, combined with American thoroughbred racing blood. One of my favorite horses is named Open Quarzo. He plays on the beach in San Diego, in the snow, and pretty much all over the United States.” Ganzi is very much attuned to the future of polo. “An area where we have been successful, in both Aspen and Wellington, are our children’s programs. We work with the Polo Training Foundation and we provide horses to the kids for free. They have to follow the rules, wear helmets and the equipment we have purchased. The kids have opportunities to start and participate in the sport, do well, and have something that stays with them. Then they may come back to the sport as adults. In Aspen we have 12-14 older kids and eight or nine younger kids. In Florida, we do a state-wide tournament with up to 180 kids.”

2018 Coronado Magazine - August
Ganzi also devotes her time to the history of polo, as president of the Museum of Polo & Hall of Fame in Lake Worth, Florida. She also maintains a vigorous playing schedule. “During the summer in Aspen, I play almost every day, and in at least one tournament every week. During the Florida season, I play a lot. I play in three snow events, two on the beach, two in the arena, and 30 or more on grass.” As for her favorite polo moments to date, “It’s really when I get to play in Aspen with Riley and Grant either in tournaments or in practice.” Ganzi is enthused about her return to Coronado, the Hotel Del Coronado and Polo America’s Beach Polo. “Polo has a long history at the Hotel Del and the backdrop of the hotel captures a bit of magic. I love all the events surrounding the weekend and everything has a component to it that’s special. When (event promoter) Randy Russell came to me with the idea for Beach Polo at the Del, it was an absolute ‘yes.’ The first year we brought three teams and since then it has been four teams each year. The games are competitive, fun and there couldn’t be a better place to play. The city of Coronado embraces it, and although the event is in its early stages, we have a lot of fans who come back every year. It’s a credit to Randy that although the hotel has changed management, he has made the transition, worked with them and saved the event. Randy has been able to navigate through the changes.” There are six international caliber polo players who will be competing in Beach Polo at the Del. Ganzi said of the group, “Alejandro Novillo Astrada and Nacho Novillo Astrada played in the Argentine Open and are among the Top 15 players in the world. Juan Bollini has won the British Open and among all the players, they have won everything in polo.” The teams for the 2018 Beach Polo at the Del event include: Team Aspen Valley–Grant Ganzi, Juancito Bollini, and a player to be named later; Team Porsche San Diego-Melissa Ganzi, Alejandro Novillo Astrada, and Juan Bollini; Team
Viejas Casino and Resort-Marc Ganzi, Nic Roldan, and Pablo Dorignac; and Team US Polo Association-Chevy Beh, Nacho Novillo Astrada, and Carlitos Gracida. The Bollinis, the Astradas, Dorignac, Gracida and the Ganzis all return from the 2017 event. As we concluded our interview, conducted as she was en route to a tournament in Aspen, Ganzi added, “Our organization is glad to be part of Polo America Beach Polo, and to participate again this year.” Support for Polo America’s Beach Polo comes from Platinum Sponsor The Hotel Del Coronado. Additional support is derived from Gold Sponsors which include Porsche San Diego, Silver Seas Yachts, Discover Coronado, Grayse Women’s Fashions, Brady’s Menswear, Aspen Valley Polo Club and the U.S. Polo Association. Tickets to the event come in a variety of packages. The VIP Tent includes boxes on Millionaire’s Row; Gold VIP tables, located on the front row of the second terrace of the tent; and Silver tickets. Ticket prices range from $100 to $125 for Silver tickets, which includes two drink tickets; Gold Tickets are $250 each or $2500 for a table of 10, which includes a three-course luncheon and wine; while Millionaire’s Row box seats are $200 each or $2,000 for one of the luxurious boxes that feature white leather furniture with seating for 10. This category includes 20 drink tickets.

oronado is a true paradise. Of course, as residents, we know this, and while we might quietly bemoan the swarms of tourists careening around the sidewalks and bike paths in the rental surreys, can we really blame them? Before we were residents, my family sojourned here annually from Virginia to see family and make new friends. On the first trip, we did the de rigueur touristy things. We sweated it out at the Safari Park (still known to me as the Wild Animal Park). We schlepped to the zoo and bought overpriced stuffed animals. We lost the kids at Sea World. We did what tourists do. We toured. We spent a lot of money. We got tired. The next year after arriving at our vacation rental, we unpacked our bags, walked across the street to the beach, and started planning our outings. Should we go to Legoland? Take a harbor cruise? The Birch Aquarium at Scripps? So many choices (and so much money!). Then we looked out at our kids, who were content to make drip sand castles with their cousins until the sun went down and eat ice cream three meals a day, and asked ourselves “What are we thinking?!�

We were in the middle of one of the most special places in the country. Why on earth would we drag our cranky children to stand in a long line with other cranky children, when Coronado had everything we needed? We were making work out of a vacation, which, you know, is not the point of a vacation.
You can start by driving over the bridge, or have someone else drive you, so you can really take it all in. You can look at the great expanse of ocean before you, Point Loma, and of course the Del, and you can say “Wow, I actually live here.” That view never gets old, does it?
For that trip and every one after that, until we made our dream come true and became official residents, we stayed on the island. We enjoyed the company of family, played ball at Sunset Park, bought boogie boards at Central Drug, danced at the Concert in the Park, and shopped locally.
Of course, the beach is the main attraction here, and on a summer day, you can grab your kids, the neighbor kids, a cooler of icy drinks, and head for the shore. I’m partial to Shipwrecks, in front of the Shores, as there’s plenty of parking (important for those of us with parking anxiety) and less sand to cross before getting to the water.
That was many years ago, and as residents with four kids in school, we fell into the usual patterns of daily living. We were so busy existing in Coronado that we kind of forgot to appreciate the little things our little town has to offer. We forgot how to see it from the eyes of a newcomer. If you’ve fallen into a similar rut, it’s not too late to enjoy Coronado with the sense of wonder that brought so many of us here over the years.

Pro tip: Swing by the hardware store and buy a big, soft-bristled paint brush. It gets the sand off your feet in a jiffy, and no billowy baby powder mess! You may want to pop into Bay Books on your way to the beach and ask a friendly staff member to recommend a good beach read. In addition, they have magazines, cookbooks, and a fun kids’ section—something for everyone! Beyond the beach, but not far from it is the Tavern, a great place to take the kids (or not), where you can belly up to the bar or slide into a quaint booth and order up a lavender lemonade and a small dish of roasted Brussel sprouts. Lots of places do sprouts, but no one does them like the Tavern. No time for the beach and yet need to cool off the kids and keep them happy? Moo Time is there for you. It’s vacation, remember, so get them an extra scoop. If you’re really lucky, they’ll have Islander Crunch on the menu (and if they do, please get one for me!). 2018 Coronado Magazine - August

Hop on your bikes (don’t forget your helmets!), cruise over to Spreckel’s park. Younger tykes can enjoy the playground, and if your kids are older, they can toss around a football. And if it’s too hot to even think about being outside, go right across the street to the air conditioned library, grab a magazine, and peacefully chill for an hour. The library offers a weekly story hour in the Ruby Room as well, for the little ones. To make your staycation feel like a real vacation, how about a little souvenir from Krowntown where there is a great selection of Coronado-themed hats and shirts. Owned by Roberta O’Neill and Chris Hutton, they’ve designed the official 92118 Day shirts and do custom orders as well. They’re just opposite Miguel’s Cocina. You can do all of this in a day, or you can spread it out over a week or two. It’s your staycation, Townies! Enjoy!

Homegrown Businesses: Island Carpets

André and Kristy Pierre, owners of
After graduating from Cal Poly with a degree in international business, André headed to Philadelphia for a job as a salesman with International Materials which shipped products around the world. Even as he headed to Philadelphia, he knew someday he would return to Coronado. He returned home in 2001 to work in the family run business, started in 1976 by his father. He admits he needed a job where he could “get his hands dirty,” something a bit more physical than simply selling.
Island Carpets, know how fortunate they are to call Coronado home. Graduating from Coronado High School in 1995, they both left college to investigate other areas and try jobs attuned to their majors, but Coronado provides the life style they want, so returning to establish themselves in their hometown seemed smart. With a safe environment, good schools for their children, and the outdoor life the Pierres enjoy, not to mention the lure of a beach only minutes away, Coronado promised the foundation for a forever During the high school and college home.

He readily acknowledges his parents as good role models in both the private and business arena. He credits quality workmanship and products, as well as customer service, for the success of Island Carpets for so many years. In 2009, André took over the business when his father retired. André still enjoys working in the field, but he deals with contractors and employees to fill all the commitments in the various areas. Keeping the business local, although he occasionally ventures across the bridge to work on

residents’ second homes, and renting a nearby warehouse to store supplies keep the overhead low, which tends to make his estimates competitive with larger firms. After André’s sixth grade class with only six students at Christ Church Day School, transferring to Coronado Middle School was “fresh and fun.” There he met everyone who would be his best friends. Those friends followed to Coronado High School (CHS) where they were all together in ASB and sports.

Sandy Ferguson, who taught history, was one of his favorite personalities, being easily relatable and in charge of sports. Robin Adair was a favorite teacher, also. The Pierres began dating at homecoming a year before graduation. They had a great time together and with the same circle of friends, it was easy to continue the relationship with group hangouts in various homes and at Stingray Point at the golf course. “Coronado was so mello; 8 p.m. or 9 p.m., no worries about being out.

He noted that while the traffic and businesses may have changed, a constant is the people who seem the same caring, concerned citizens they were years ago. As wonderful as the climate and amenities are in Coronado, people contribute as much as the environment to the desirable locale. The two Pierres welcomed the return to Coronado and starting their own family. The family, including 11 year-old Noah and 8 year-old Lucy, enjoy being on the water, especially taking their 20-foot SeaRay boat for family trips and hanging out at Stingray Point beach.

What is the Value of a House? 1116 Tenth Street
Part II- The Schramm and Griffin Story - 1913-1960 by Luan Troxel
W
hat is the value of a house? The value can be connected to our memories of growing up, the door frame that our parents marked ours and our siblings’ growing heights every year, and the recollection of the time your brother broke his leg falling off the roof. In other words, the value of the house hinges on history. The history of the Eagle House, 1116 Tenth Street, where the Eagle Newspaper spent the last quarter century, is rich. As discussed in Part I, 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). With the Eagle House, it is sometimes hard to tell when one resident came and another left – it has had many residents in its days. That is because it appears to have been built as a duplex. So, multiple families lived there simultaneously by design. Add to that the dislocation of the two World Wars and the Depression which caused many families to consolidate homesteads over time and the oftentransient nature of the residents of our town, and many individuals have lived in the house and many babies born and taken to it as their first home. Additionally, because of the number of families that 26

unimproved, perhaps a shed was built. And, the improved value of the first part more than doubled. Another major change is shown in the Lot Books between 1939 and 1940. It appears that at that time, the lots were reconfigured, such that the value of improvements, while remaining the same overall, shifted between the two lots. Prior to this time, most of the value of improvements was on one of the two lots. Now, it appears, each piece of land had a house on it. And, a new address was associated with the property. The Schramm Cottage remained at 1116 Tenth, but the new lot (with a house) was labeled 1000 C.
appear to be present at a given time, some have speculated that the house might have served as a boarding house for some time. In any case, by 1913, a new long-term family had come to stay. In that year, Walter Schram(m), a plumber and contractor, purchased the properties and moved in with his wife, Maria (sister of Mary Watson, a one-time housekeeper in the home of Mr. Elisha Babcock). And, there they both resided until their deaths, he in 1922 and she in 1951. During this long tenure, the house came to be known as the Schramm Cottage. Walter identified his occupation on documents as a plumber and contractor who worked for some time at the Hotel Del. It is possible that this could explain what some have said are touches inside the house – cup and acorn moldings, for instance that show a marked similarity between the little house at 1116 Tenth Street and the Hotel Del. In fact, some theorize that 1116 Tenth Street is one of the oldest structures in Coronado (possibly built just after the Boathouse and the Del just possibly moved to its current location). Or, perhaps it was built on-site in 1897 and Walter simply picked up ideas from his work at the Del that he wanted to add to his own home.
The record becomes less clear during the 1940s as the United States and the rest of the world descended into World War II. It is possible that Maria reconfigured the lots lines deliberately to sell one of the lots In any case, Walter and Maria Schramm along with a house. lived in the house on Tenth Street for many years. The newspaper in those days covered Whether that was the intent or not, by all the comings and goings and happenings 1947, Mrs. Elsie Griffin was resident at the in town. From that, we learn that the address. Elsie was living in Coronado, but Schramms entertained many guests at the at another location in 1944. At that time, Schramm Cottage and that Walter greatly she listed her occupation as being in the enjoyed fishing and clamming - once Coronado Dairy Lunch, the successor to successfully catching 100 mackerel in a the Coronado Dairy. Records show that she sold the Coronado Dairy Lunch in 1946, single outing! perhaps to purchase her “joint share” of the The news also showed darker years for Schramm property. And, Elsie eventually Maria, beginning in 1922. First, both her came to own the entire property – both lots husband and sister passed away in 1922. – when, upon Maria’s death, Elsie, who was Then, we learn that her house had been also executor of the estate, was transferred robbed with an intruder entering through the property through a termination of the the front door when Maria was in the back joint tenancy. and stealing her “lady’s Persian leather bag.” Also, Maria fell ill in 1938 and ended up spending time in the Coronado hospital. And, throughout the 1930s, Maria appeared to have fallen on economically hard times as well, like many Americans of the time, as her property appeared on the Delinquent Tax List year after year throughout the decade.
It is unclear what the relationship between Elsie and Maria was exactly. Certainly, Maria was a widow and Elsie might well have been, too. While the 1930 census shows that she was married and had several children, by the 1940 census, she was living in a home where her sister was identified as the head of household. Was this because her husband was off at war? Had he passed Big changes happened in 1929. In that away at some point earlier? Or, had the two year, there were improvements on part of of them separated? These the property that had previously remained

questions remain unanswered because there is no further mention of him at the time Elsie is living on Tenth Street. So, the story of Maria and Elsie might be that of two women helping each other make it in the world. But, otherwise, it is not clear how or why Elsie came to jointly own the property or how she was chosen to be Executor of Maria’s estate. For many years, there was rumor of a “twin” house on the same lot as the Schramm Cottage. It was reportedly closer to the corner of Tenth and C, roughly where the El Cordova Garage currently stands. In fact, the Lot and Block book of San Diego County, which records values by year of land and its improvements, suggests (by a doubling of improved value) that the “twin” – or perhaps more of a sibling or cousin – might have appeared in 1898.

Silver Strand:
Nature’s Bridge to Discovery
O
n June 29 the San Diego chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects announced the winners of the 2018 design awards. Among the winners, the Silver Strand Nature’s Bridge to Discovery was awarded to the Schmidt Design Group, Inc. for their historic restoration of a San Diego landmark. “The first phase began 19 years ago,” said Glen Schmidt, FASLA, president of the Schmidt Design group. “And [the project] is still thriving today. It was recognized for its Innovativeness, sustainability and landscape durability.” Among the most prominent landforms within San Diego, the Silver Strand encompasses an eight-mile strip of land that holds the scenic State Highway SR-75, linking the cities of Coronado and Imperial Beach. The site is narrow and exposed to harsh wind and coastal conditions. It contains a variety of threatened and endangered species and is immediately adjacent to an important open space preserve for the endangered California Least Tern. Prior to the project the corridor was overgrown with invasive Carpobrotus Ice-plant. Early conceptual design work by others for the corridor included a simple trail, benches, and non-native landscape. However when Schmidt looked at the project, he saw the potential of Silver Strand and its value. 30
2018 Coronado Magazine - August
The bus shelters along the Silver Strand were established 1999-2001.
“I really wanted to connect people to the Silver Strand, with the whole idea of discovery,” said Schmidt. He opted for an area of discovery and environmental education as the theme and “Nature’s Bridge to Discovery” became the project name. The Schmidt Design Group created a new multi-purpose hiking trail, scenic overlooks, median landscaping, interpretive education, utility undergrounding, bus shelters, public art, city entry monuments, and significant new native habitat for the endangered and threatened species in the area. Public artist Paul Hobson was a key member of the design team. “Paul collaborated with us on many aspects of the design,” said Schmidt. “The wing deck design, for example, was his idea.”
Relief sculptures are visible along the pathway and urge the visitor to stop and explore. “Look for the legless lizard,” said Glen Schmidt, president of Schmidt Design Group.
A significant challenge was the number of jurisdictional boundaries, easements, environmental, and cultural constraints that existed along the Silver Strand corridor. Land ownership included the Cities of Coronado and Imperial Beach, County of San Diego, South Bay Biological Preserve, U.S. Navy, as well as easements with CALTRANS and MTS. The landscape architect accomplished the goal of adhering to the original design intent throughout a tedious review process that included approvals from a total of no less than fifteen local, state, and federal agencies. Considerable effort was made to utilize sustainable materials and methods 2018 Coronado Magazine - August

before this was a mainstream concept. Examples include the use of sustainable SFC certified wood, on-site water harvesting, exotic plant removal, and revegetation of native plant material utilizing seeds harvested from the immediate areas. Rustic materials inspired by the dramatic setting of the area include materials such as corten steel, concrete, granite, and brushed stainless steel. Nature’s Bridge to Discovery incorporates several discovery points along the new pedestrian trail, as well as the restoration of native habitats throughout. Traditional interpretive panels combine with more subtle gestures: relief sculptures that emerge along the pathway, laser-etched tiles, engraved messages in railings, and granite stela sculptures. Eelgrass, marshlands, and the ever-present wind that sweeps over the Silver Strand inspired organic shapes throughout the project. Since the ribbon cutting in 1999, visitation has increased on the Silver Stand and eco-tourism has blossomed. The local Beautification Committee developed educational brochures for the corridor to assist visitors in self-guided tours. Another brochure of public art in Coronado was created which included identifying several discovery points in the project as public art. After more than 19 years the project continues to provide an inspiring place to walk, jog, bike, and connect with this very special natural open space. “It’s a great place for people to visit and enjoy its beauty,” said Schmidt.

In 2014, San Diego Magazine named the project as one of the top hidden gems in San Diego. And Pacifico Beer created a commemorative glass that featured the Solstice Monument in Nature’s Bridge to Discovery as one of the “mysteries waiting to be discovered” in San Diego. The project has been recognized with a local ASLA Honor Award, Orchid Award, as well as a National Rails to Trails Award.
The terns are an endangered species and probably Coronado’s best know avian tourist; they are known to nest along the Coronado shore. The least tern’s local status is not only celebrated with the Wing Deck, but also at the trail’s second discovery point, which features soaring granite monoliths that tell the birds’ history, migration patterns and breeding habits. Heading south along the path, flagstone markers list the terns’ migration route all the way down to Costa Rica.
The Wing Deck was designed by Paul Hobson

THEN & NOW
The Coronado Historical Association Presents
Driving into the Museum by Vickie Stone, Registrar & Curator of Collections Coronado’s past. Since the museum acquired the truck, Jeff Tyler volunteered his time and talent to restoring the truck and servicing the maintenance needs so the truck remains operational.
The Laundry Truck in front of the Hotel del Coronado. Date unknown. Coronado Historical Association’s Collection
One of the Coronado Historical Association’s most beloved
museum collection treasures is a Model T truck. The truck was built in 1923 by the Ford Motor Company. Many of the Model T’s at that time were nicknamed “Tin Lizzy.” Its original function was as the laundry truck of the Hotel del Coronado. The truck was one of five, with the label #5 prominent on it’s side. The trucks picked-up and delivered clean laundry from the Hotel del Coronado laundry service to residents across the island. Tom Wearden was the Hotel Del employee who drove the truck for seven years. The hotel gifted the truck to Wearden upon his retirement in 1930. In 1942 Wearden was in a fender bender and subsequently stopped driving the truck due to “too much traffic.” Over the years, the truck fell into disrepair until after Wearden’s death when the ownership of the truck transferred to his grandson, Captain Herb Underwood. In 1978, Captain Underwood restored the car to pristine condition and repaired the damaged parts to be operational once again. Following Underwood’s restoration, the truck changed ownership until it was rediscovered in a barn in Paso Robles in 2004. Museum members Bruce and Alana Coons bought the truck, and then in 2007, Richard Kenney bought the truck from them for the express purpose of the museum’s educational outreach. Former Executive Director Joe Ditler facilitated the donation and was active in securing the truck as the museum’s largest collection item. The truck donation demonstrated the community’s value in the Association as trusted stewards of
Various private garages across Coronado stored the Model T since it was acquired by the museum. Last fall, the Coronado Historical Association had to vacate the truck’s storage space and faced a challenge when finding a new storage site. After thinking of all of the alternatives, the Association brought the vehicle into the museum building as a long-term solution to the vehicle’s nomadic existence. Being in the museum allows staff and volunteers to easily prep the truck for parades and other event use. The truck also serves as a beautiful attraction for family visitors who see the truck when walking by. The truck’s public display increases from a few days a year to every day that the museum is open. Thanks to the dedicated laundry truck team - which includes Doug Clarke, Jeff Tyler, Bill Gise, and Bear Thorkelson - the Association is able to keep the truck as a prominent feature in Coronado’s annual Fourth of July parade, Christmas parade, and Coronado Mainstreet’s Motorcars on Mainstreet. Stop by the museum to see the popular laundry truck in person; or if you find it missing, look for it out-and-about town for an upcoming event.

No Time to Cook:
Lemons are Crown Jewels by Linda L. Austin My Eureka lemon tree is a treasure. I have buds, green and yellow lemons all year round. Need a lemon, just take the clippers to the backyard. The tree is a bit lopsided because trimming it involves discarding buds or green lemons which is hard for me to do. When people talk of gathering a few lemons, I talk of gathering brown grocery bags of lemons for friends and neighbors. I have collected over one hundred in one day a few times, often over sixty.
NO TIME TO COOK Two freezer drawers stay full of frozen juice in one or two cup measurements for lemonade when the family comes over. Lemon juice is always in my refrigerator since I add it to water, which I have a difficult time drinking in its natural state, and iced tea. Since I could go all day with very little liquid, I make myself drink a certain quantity which seems to prevent leg cramps for me, and lemon juice makes it more tolerable. The beneficial virtues of lemon juice are undisputed, even though some claims seem a bit unbelievable and all claims may not be one hundred percent valid for everyone. Searching the web, you would think lemons cure or prevent every malady: wrinkles, elasticity in skin, indigestion, colds, flu, inflammation. According to research, lemons, also, “aid in processing the good stuff in food more slowly,” and stimulate the immune system. Drinking lemon water is even a “natural way to freshen your breath and banish nasty bacteria from your mouth and gums.” Since lemons are high in nutrients, therefore promoting a healthy body, they seem a worthy ingredient in any recipe. Add the lure of easy, quick dishes and the recipes are keepers. My ready access of excess lemons prompts me to search out recipes using the juice and rind. Fresh lemons grate quite easily. Consequently, I frequently cook with lemons. Fortunately, lemon is my favorite flavor for desserts: cakes, pies, ice cream. I enjoy chocolate and coconut, but that tangy citrus zing is always a pleasure.
Asparagus with Honey Mustard Dressing
Serve asparagus either hot or chilled with sauce. This sauce is so easy and really dresses up the asparagus. Makes a nice dip for cold asparagus, too. 1 pound asparagus, trimmed 1/3 cup sour cream 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 ½ teaspoons honey 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste Place asparagus in pot with steamer rack. Cover rack with water. Bring water to boil, and boil covered one minute. With cover on pot, remove from heat and allow to steam 10 minutes or until desired tenderness. Mix remaining 4 ingredients together. Chill a few hours if convenient. May use immediately. Spoon over asparagus. Serves 4.
Broiled Shrimp
24 large uncooked shrimp, (about 2 pounds), peeled, deveined, tails removed 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons butter, melted 2 garlic cloves, minced ½ to ¾ teaspoons red pepper flakes 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Preheat broiler. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Whisk oil, butter, garlic, pepper flakes, and parsley in medium bowl to blend. Add shrimp; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Arrange shrimp in single layer on broiler pan or on skewers. Broil until opaque in center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to large container; sprinkle with lemon juice. Note: For appetizer, leave tails on.

Salmon with Lemon-Mustard Sauce
Couldn’t be easier; the sauce makes a nice addition.
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced 2 scallions, thinly sliced 4 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Coarse salt and ground pepper In a 9-by-13-inch dish, combine mushrooms and scallions. Place salmon fillets on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together mustard and lemon juice. Spoon mixture over salmon. Bake at 400º for 15 minutes or until done. Serve salmon over vegetables. Serves 4. Alternatives: Microwave on high for 8 to 10 minutes or until salmon is cooked through. May substitute orange juice for lemon juice.
Lemonade Cream Cheese
1 8-ounce package cream cheese at room temperature 4 tablespoons jarred lemon curd Zest of 1 lemon 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar Cream cheese must be room temperature and super soft or the mixture won’t blend. In a small bowl, mix the lemon curd, zest, juice and sugar until completely mixed. Add the cream cheese and mix with a rubber spatula until you have a cohesive mixture. Taste and check for both tartness and sweetness, adding more lemon juice or sugar if needed. Serve on scones, biscuits, toast, or use as a filling or glaze for cakes.
Lemon Aioli for Salmon
Zest and juice of half a lemon. 1 cup mayonnaise Extra virgin olive oil. Kosher salt Freshly grated black pepper Stir lemon zest and juice into mayonnaise. Add drizzle of olive oil. Taste for salt and pepper.
Salmon is an easy, quick, healthy entrée. For years I shied away from cooking much seafood. After dinner at a friend’s house where delicious salmon was served, I determined to experiment. Now we have salmon often. You can top salmon fillets with almost anything you like, including thin lemon slices. Cook them at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, and the entree is ready. Buying in bulk may be a challenge for only two people, but I’ve learned to use the freezer and cook wisely. I purchase a slab of salmon, cook two servings the first night, cook the remainder before the expiration date with a different recipe, and use any cooked leftovers for tossing into lunch-time salad or pasta. Since I tire of cooking the same thing over and over, my collection of salmon recipes and sauces to serve on the side continues to grow. Once I forgot a sauce, so I rushed to the kitchen and quickly whipped up a new concoction using what was readily available. When Paul asked what was in it, I refused to share my secret. He had raved about it, so I hated to admit it was super simple, only bottled chili sauce mixed into sour cream until it was a pleasant pink color. That sauce was tasty and has become a regular addition to seared salmon.

NO TIME TO COOK Experienced cooks add lemon to almost everything. Giada De Laurentiis says, “I made lemon spaghetti in an early season of ‘Everyday Italian,’ and to this day people still come up to me and say they love it. It’s very, very simple. Basically, you cook the pasta and mix together Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice and zest and pour it over the pasta.” Apple slices and bananas tossed in a little lemon juice stay fresher longer, and most salad dressing recipes can substitute lemon juice for vinegar. Experiment with a few drops of lemon juice in vegetables to add flavor to the ordinary green beans or Brussel sprouts. Sprinkle cooked spinach with lemon. Enhancing your cream cheese with ingredients to make Lemonade Cream Cheese for your breakfast breads is speedy and adds a flair to even store-bought bagels and English muffins. In quotations, lemons get the sour end of the deal. We all know, “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” as if lemons are an undesirable object in need of doctoring to make them acceptable. In my household, lemons are the crown jewels.
Orzo Salad
Recipe from Coronado resident Lori Boulanger.
You can add shrimp or chicken if you wish. This can be made a day ahead 4 cups chicken broth 1 ½ cups orzo 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 1 ½ cups red and yellow Teardrop tomatoes, halved ¾ cup red onion, finely chopped ½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped ¾ cup red wine vinaigrette (recipe follows) Flat Italian parsley for garnish Bring broth to a boil, covered, over high heat; stir in the orzo. Cover partially and cook until pasta is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Drain orzo through a strainer over a bowl. (If you want, save the broth and freeze for another use.) Transfer orzo to a large bowl, and toss until it cools slightly. Allow to cool further. When cool, add the remaining ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste; toss and add enough Red Wine Vinaigrette to coat. Garnish with parsley and serve at room temperature.
Red Wine Vinaigrette ½ cup red wine vinegar ¼ cup fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons honey 2 teaspoons salt ¼ teaspoon pepper 1 cup olive oil, extra virgin
Whisk all together. You will have plenty left over for salads, etc. 42

The House Next Door
What was originally a front and back house on a lot owned by an investment partnership, was divided
up to build two homes side by side. Builder and interior designers Susan and Mark Hunt of Sandcastle Homes, with Christian Rice as architect, built the two spec houses. One home on 358 J Avenue is called “Relax - Don’t Worry, Be Happy” and is currently owned by the Cason family. The other home on 360 J Avenue, a “Traditional Coastal Charmer,” is owned by the Sherev family. Each home has three bedrooms and two and a half baths and goes 2400 square feet with the garage. 44
2018 Coronado Magazine - August
Two homes built side by side with the same floor plan. Two families with different uses for each home. Two very happy neighbors.
“Both homes on this project were to have the same interior floor plan and exterior shell, but it was important to us that each home look and feel completely different,” said Susan Hunt. Susan Hunt was the designer on the project while her husband Mark Hunt was the builder. “We feel a strong personal connection with the homes we build and when all is said and done, we couldn’t be prouder to turn over our homes to their new homeowners.”
CORONADO HOME STYLE
360 J Avenue Dimitri and Patty Sherev, owners of 360 J Avenue, had been working with a realtor and trying to purchase a second home in Coronado and were having a difficult time finding the right one. “At one point, I got on my bike and starting at Alameda, began riding up and down the streets (looking for homes),” said Patty Sherev. She came across 360 J, still in the stages of being built. Her realtor connected her to Susan Hunt, who offered to show Patty her own home so that she could see more of what she had envisioned for 360 J. “I immediately loved Susan and what she had planned,” said Patty. Because the house was still under construction, Patty was able to add input, choosing colors and requesting a window seat in the front bay window. Patty and Susan worked together, often bypassing the realtors involved. When the Sherevs closed on the house, their realtor commented that it was one of the friendliest and most open transactions she had ever seen.

358 J Avenue Aimee and Will Cason had been looking for a house in Coronado for a while. “We found out about the home (358 J Avenue) through a friend of ours at our child’s soccer game and put an offer on it, even before it hit the MLS (Multiple Listing Service),” said Aimee Cason. “We had been searching for a similar style home on Coronado for about five years and the fact that it was a new construction really sealed the deal.” Their home on 358 J is their full time living space and forever home. It has the beach style, high-quality finishes and practical layout the Casons love and need with their busy family of three young children and a large English cream golden retriever. “We have plenty of outdoor living space, which makes it easy to entertain and host barbecues,” said Aimee.

360 J Avenue Patty’s favorite part of the house is its flow, especially where the cantina doors open up to a lanai with a fireplace, extending the living space into the outdoors. “There is such a nice feel to the backyard,” said Patty. In connection with that, she “loves the front Dutch door and the beautiful shell dining room chandelier which doubles as a wind chime when the breeze flows through the open cantina doors.” The Sherev family actually resides in Scripps Ranch where their they have a much larger house and a pool. Their home on 360 J is their vacation home, close enough to use often, far enough away to consider it a get-away when they visit. With two teenagers, one headed to UC Santa Barbara as a freshman in the fall and the other a sophomore in high school, it was a perfect choice. The house is easy to care for and just the right size for their purpose.
While there are still ties to Scripps Ranch, the Sherevs find themselves spending many weekends at 360 J. When they have family or friends come into town, it is a nice place for them to stay. For the Sherevs in their Traditional Coastal Charmer, they are finding they spend more time in their house on J Avenue than they had originally expected.

“I just love this house,” said Patty Sherev. “It’s my happy place!”
CORONADO HOME STYLE
358 J Avenue The Caslons like the practicality of their house, utilizing every square foot of space, often with little extra touches that the Hunts added to their home. There is a secret play space under the stairs, sand dollar stepping stones in the front and back yards, and a large, elegant tub in the master bathroom, a perfect spot for the kids’ bubble baths. They, too, have a double Dutch front door that offers a breeze and an inviting feel. Aimee loves the kitchen because it is “so beautifully decorated and has a functional design that makes it easy to feed and supervise the children while they work on school work or just draw a pretty picture.” The 13 foot kitchen island is done in distressed wood offering lots of storage space, beauty and indestructibility. The back splash tiles are a shimmering green and silver, reminding her of the ocean. Beyond their home, the Casons enjoy being on J Avenue. “We felt welcomed by the neighborhood immediately when many of our neighbors stopped by to introduce themselves and their families the day we moved in,” said Aimee. “People don’t waste time here!” “As dual working parents, we realized our move to Coronado has been the best decision of our lives because we see our children not only thriving in the school, but also in their new friendships and sports,” said Aimee of the community. “Will and I always wanted to live in a beach house and this is truly the idea family beach home,” said Aimee of their Relax - Don’t Worry Be Happy home.

Letting the Inside Out
COSPLAY: The art of dressing up as a character & bringing that character to life.
Why I Cosplay
“I can make a kid forget the cruelty of this world…for one fleeting moment, they meet a hero. And the world is ok for both the kid…and you.” @roshikamehame 52
2018 Coronado Magazine - August
“I have met a number of wonderful friends from different walks of life. I’ve even had the chance to volunteer with some of them to help different organizations as we showed up in character. It’s been an interesting journey and despite those who’d poke fun, I don’t regret starting it or continuing it. I’m still enjoying the ride.” @cobesplay “The most important reason to me, though, is to bring my own representation to the community. There’s a seriously tiny portion of chubby, brown girls in media and entertainment storylines, so I hope seeing us amongst the fanbase somehow disrupts the conditioning of conventional beauty standards.” @angibiao “Cosplay allows me to be anyone, to explore the aspects of my heroes that I admire, to find the places where I share weaknesses with characters and learn to work within them. Without exaggeration, cosplay allows me to build myself.” @vanalosswen
“Cosplay provides a moment of freedom from daily life.” @eve_a “[Cosplay] kind of reminds me a lot of science, which I love…it’s all about experimentation, a trial and error approach [in creating costumes]. Nobody will know what to do the first time trying something (unless you are lucky), it’s a learning process; you try one thing and if it doesn’t work out, then think your way to a solution and you try something else.” @corona_cosplay 2018 Coronado Magazine - August

Letting the Inside Out Giving Voice to the Many Parts of Me by Brooke Clifford
Most of my life I’ve been labeled as “the
quiet one,” and while there is truth to that, I’m also so many other things that aren’t apparent on the surface. At times it’s frustrating being pigeon-holed and I’m sure many of us have experienced this. But then there are those rare moments where you find the feeling of total belonging without the labels, an “I am among my people” moment. July 17-21 saw San Diego Comic-Con take over the city with its annual ode to geekdom, and that’s exactly the feeling I experienced upon walking into the convention center as the event kicked off just weeks ago. I love just about everything about ComicCon – the panels that connect fans with creators, actors, and influencers in the wideranging entertainment industry; the insanity that is the 460,000 square foot exhibit hall
54
2018 Coronado Magazine - August
with larger than life booths that could feature anything from full-sized dragons to a replica of the Millennium Falcon cockpit for that perfect photo op, as well as an artist alley of incredible talent each year; the sneak peaks and exclusives; the many fan meetups that occur throughout the convention; and of course, the cosplay. I first worked up the courage to cosplay about five years ago at San Diego ComicCon, and one thing I love about cosplay is how freeing it is for me. There are no prior expectations of you, only of the character you’re portraying. In many ways the quiet, calm façade I present on the surface in everyday life is a mask while my costumes can actually provide deeper insight into who I am. I choose characters that I identify with in some way – personality traits, motivations, struggles, etc. – which sparks that inspiration and
desire for me to cosplay. Rather than acting as an opportunity to be someone completely different, cosplay actually gives me a chance to be more of myself than I might otherwise feel comfortable being in public. I can freely showcase more of my goofball side with my Spider-Man suit, or channel my inner fierceness as Toph, the blind
female warrior from Avatar. Alternatively I have moments of melancholy as Korra, the female lead warrior from “Legend of Korra” who carries the burden of saving the world, or Jack Frost, who tries to let humans know he’s real, and so forth. No one would make a fuss about “quiet” or “always happy” Brooke being so animated, or outspoken. Beyond that, not only will the people around me not be pushing back against these personality traits when cosplaying, they’ll be actively providing affirmation of these qualities as we interact. And if you were to look at my history of cosplay and see themes start to appear in the characters I choose…well, you probably wouldn’t be too far off in making connections. Just as these characters represent some aspect of the self, so to can they stand as something we aspire to be and the roles in life we see ourselves in or strive to achieve. After having actively pursued this fun, if time-consuming, hobby for a few years now, I was interested in digging a little deeper. I reached out to the cosplay community at large and see what it is that draws others to be a part of this phenomena, creating an Instagram post with a challenge to my fellow cosplayers asking them - why do you cosplay? While there’s something undeniably personal about creating something from scratch, as #WhyICosplay answers came in I did see two commonalities appear: Firstly, the art of creating a costume. As we get older there seems to be less time and opportunity to explore our creative side and many of the answers I received included the challenge of bringing a character to life as part of the appeal. Despite inevitable frustrations and mistakes (cosplay is a constant learning process!), achieving that final product and getting enthusiastic feedback from others only spurs that desire to dive back in and challenge yourself to make it even better or start something new. Consider that years ago people would tinker over their cars or a broken toaster and sew their own clothes, mostly out of necessity. Today, in our digital-driven world, there are a lot less opportunities to work with our hands and create - something I’ve found can bring a sense of accomplishment and confidence. Making costumes has certainly been a great
creative outlet for me where I’ve learned many handy skills I never thought I would from sewing to soldering. And secondly, community. Almost every answer that I’ve received has touched upon this as a major factor. Cosplay brings people together of all ages and walks of life. It gives us a common thread from which to strike up a conversation with strangers who could become friends. There is an incredible amount of encouragement in this community, online and off, which in many ways acts as a big, reciprocal loop of support, inspiration, and
motivation; things everyone should have but aren’t always easy to come by in real life. The concept of cosplay has become more mainstream over the past few years. More and more people participate in this phenomenon each year. Cosplay = “costume play,” because it really isn’t just suiting up. It’s becoming the character, learning the poses and mannerisms, putting your own spin on them as an actor would and

everyone, cosplayer or not, becomes a part of this shared illusion as we interact at this event. For the moment you are the hero, villain, adventurer, etc. and everybody plays along. You are able to go outside your normal everyday self and venter into the world to be seen as you would wish to be seen, and there’s a vulnerability in that which contributes to the strength of this community and the significance of this hobby in our lives. Adam Savage (“Mythbusters”) may have put it best in his “My love letter to cosplay TED Talk”: “We’re connecting with something important inside of us, and the costumes are how we reveal ourselves to each other.” For all of these reasons, my experience as a cosplayer so far has been among the most positive in my life, even if my closet is growing more and more crowded with costumes. The joy and freedom of creating and being the characters I love, the ability to bring others that same joy by doing so, and the people involved in this community are why I cosplay. I don’t foresee my forays across the bridge to San Diego Comic-Con and similar events in costume slowing down any time soon. And I think I speak for everyone when I say it’s just plain fun.

PARENTING
Built in Best Friends by Hattie Foote
I
“ am never having another baby; I am one and done.” I can vividly remember telling my OBGYN this a week after my daughter was born. Becoming a first time mom humbled me, in ways I never knew possible. I had an awful recovery, low milk supply, and anxiety by the boatload. Fast forward two years later, and I had made it! I actually felt confident with this whole motherhood gig. I could navigate Spreckels Park like a pro and I made my daughter organic smoothies, it was a breeze! Then I got cocky and said let’s do it again. Famous last words.

PARENTING
I love the saying that there is no better gift to give your child than a sibling. It’s true, my sister is my best friend, I cannot imagine life without her. After the morning sickness and exhaustion calmed down, I enjoyed my last few months with my girl. I made sure to include her in all of the excitement, we brought her with us to the ultrasound when we found out the gender. We let her pick out things for his room and tried to be enthusiastic about her baby name choices. Although I’m not sure how much baby brother would appreciate his name being Tinkerbell or Dory. 60

I cried the whole span of the bridge as we drove to the hospital. Saying goodbye to our life as a family of three really hit me hard and unexpectedly. Of course the minute our daughter and son met, I was fully ready for our new chapter as a family of four to begin. I read a tip somewhere to have the new baby give the sibling a present at the hospital, like a “I come in peace” situation. In theory it seemed like a cute idea, but really our daughter could have cared less. A real life babydoll was much more interesting! So we headed home to our new normal, and can

I just say how awkward is it the day you get home with a new baby? Its like what do we do now? Anyway, now the fun begins! As it usually goes, the second child experience is a little different than the first child. Long gone are the days of mommy and me music classes and hand sanitizing every five minutes. I mean my second child legit ate a taquito off the mall floor. Number two is your sidekick as you run all over town for number one’s school, activities, and playdates. Every week at dance class it turns into a giant playdate for all the siblings who had to tag along, so it works out great! The one thing I had and still have a hard time with is balancing your time individually and as a family. I can tell when it might be time for my husband or I to take our daughter on a date. Just the other day I took her on a girls only date to see a movie at Village Theater. It doesn’t even have to be anything extravagant. Sometimes I take only one to the grocery store with me and let them pick out a little treat. Or even better, a treat they can share with their sibling when they get home. Any opportunity to get them excited about sharing, I will take!

We have just recently entered the phase of them playing in their rooms together which is very exciting. And then not so exciting when the inevitable screams about who took what start! We went to Bayside Books and let them pick some stories to read together at night which has been very cute and a nice bonding activity. I’m deep in the throes of hair pulling and biting, which is just a joy I tell you! My poor neighbors. I haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing sibling rivalry yet, but I know its waiting in the wings. I have zero advice for that, but will gladly take it if you have it! I know its different for everyone, but the transition from one to two was much easier for me. I will say that living in Coronado played a huge role in that. The fact that I can strap the kids in and walk to the grocery store, bank, literally everywhere , is just priceless to me. Something I appreciate in town is the parenthood camaraderie. Little gestures go such a long way, whether it’s handing out a baby wipe to a mom with a cream

cheese smear down her shirt, or a dad taking one for the team and playing tag with the big group of kids at the park. Even just a smile to the parent who is dealing with an epic tantrum. Once I was wrangling both my screaming kids at the beach and I thought I was going to burst into tears. Just then, a complete stranger came up to me and said “you are doing a great job.” Something so small and simple gave me the push I needed and I try to remember that when I see a fellow parent in need. It literally takes a village. We tapped out, I’m only built for two kids. No matter how many kids you have or what your journey is, I admire you. We are all in this together, so lets be kind to each other. A little grace (and wine) goes a long way on this crazy parenthood journey.
