Point Loma resident celebrates 101 years

Elisa ‘Tia Elisa’ Mendes celebrates her 101st birthday with her great niece Bernie Virissimo. COURTESY PHOTO

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

The stucco home on Rosecrans Street in Point Loma is well known for its longstanding sun bleachedwhite shell garden out front. But now it’s noteworthy for another reason: One of its longstanding tenants, Elisa “Tia Elisa” Mendes, just turned 101 years old on March 23. Asked the key to her longevity, Tia Elisa replied, “The secret is I’ve worked all my life and taken care of myself and lived right. I never drank or smoked.”

“When she came to San Diego she got a job in the canneries,” said her son Danny. “She came from the island of Madeira crossing over in 1939. She spent nine years in Rhode Island. At night there she worked in a factory making uniforms for soldiers during World War II. She came to San Diego in 1948 because she was told this was a place for opportunity, and because there was an active Portuguese community here.” Becoming a centenarian is truly rare but is an increasingly reachable milestone. Thanks to

improved medicine, better diet, and healthier living, humans’ longevity has gradually increased over time. Today, roughly one person in every 6,000 reach their 100th birthday – 0.0173 percent. Fifty years ago, only one person in every 67,000 reached the century mark. Tia Elisa’s husband, Frank, was a tuna fisherman. So was Danny, who became a tuna fisherman in the South Pacific, like his dad, at age 16. Tia Elisa retired from the tuna cannery at age 62. Danny said his mom, a Roman Catholic who has attended St Agnes Church at 1140 Evergreen St., traveled a lot after retiring. “She’s been to Russia, China, Germany, and France,” Danny said. Asked which foreign country she liked the most, Tia Elisa said, “My favorite country is my home, Portugal. I was born there. Of course, I love this country too. I went there (Portugal) four or five times with my husband back and forth. I went from Lisbon to Italy and Italy to France.” Of their shell garden, Danny said it’s composed of shells brought back by his dad from the Galapagos Islands during his commercial fishing trips. “It was my dad’s project. We still get people commenting

on it, and it’s been featured in magazines and in a story in the Peninsula Beacon in 2013.” Added Danny: “I had one guy from Los Angeles who told me if we ever wanted to get rid of it (shells), that he’d lift the whole thing up, transport it back to LA and preserve it, and maybe put it in a museum. But I didn’t want to do that because it would have been a mess and I didn’t want to put grass there.” Queried about what she likes most about Point Loma, the 101-year-old said, “I like it because

of my own people. I get along with them.” “There’s a Portuguese network here,” added Danny. His mom also likes participating in the annual Festa do Espirito Santo celebration held annually at United Portugal S.E.S Hall in Roseville. It was at one of those Festas in her late 20s when Elisa met her future husband. Would Elisa Mendes like to live another 10 years? “No,” she replied. “To live to be that old – you go through a lot.”

Kitten season pounces upon San Diego this spring San Diego Humane Society holds virtual ‘kitten shower’ for supplies By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Springtime brings with it a busy kitten season for the San Diego Humane Society, which is holding its annual kitten shower virtually this year. Through March 31, community members can donate items including kitten formula, bottles, heating pads, scales, and blankets from Humane Society’s online baby registries. Donated supplies will help thousands of orphaned kittens under eight weeks of age brought to the Humane Society requiring 24-hour care. Purchased items are delivered directly to the Humane Society. “As the days get longer and it gets lighter, that triggers animals to go into their breeding cycles,” said Humane Society nursery and foster manager Jackie Noble. “And as animal babies are being born, that coincides with people being outside doing things more and discovering orphaned kittens. “We are doing our kitten shower to help us have a successful kitten season. We rely on the generosity of our community to ensure each kitten gets the shelter, nourishment, medical care, and love they need to thrive.” The Humane Society’s Kitten Nursery was the first of its kind in the country, providing aroundthe-clock care. Before the 24-hour Kitten Nursery was established in 2009, many orphaned kittens were in danger of euthanasia because of a lack of resources required to care for them. But today, these fragile kittens have the chance to grow, thrive, and be adopted. And given San Diego’s yearrou nd m i ld weather, Noble noted that “we actually have two peaks in our kitten season.” She added the first peak is the end of April extending into May. “Then we’ll have a second peak usually around August and September when the second litters of the year are being born.” Noble added the Hu ma ne S o c iet y a l s o ha s a fo s t e r

KITTEN CARE Place the kitten on a heating pad or wrap them snugly in a warm towel until their temperature stabilizes. Always make sure there is a blanket or towel between the kitten and the heat source to prevent them from being burned. For kittens, less than 4-5 weeks, set up a cage or crate with a heating pad or disc on the bottom ensuring half the area has heat and the other half does not. Place a towel or blanket over the heat source. A soft fleece baby blanket works best. Cover the cage in front of the crate with a towel to keep the area draft free. Any formula designed for kittens will be suitable for orphaned kittens but no cow’s milk. Once prepared the kitten formula must be refrigerated if not used right away. It must be discarded after 24 hours or else it will spoil and cause kittens to get diarrhea. Formula is made with 1 part formula to 2 parts warm water. Kittens less than 2 weeks of age should eat every 3-4 hours. Kittens 2-4 weeks should eat every 4-5 hours. They should not be woken up overnight to feed if they are sleeping. Kittens should eat approximately 30 mls of formula for every 100g they weigh. This should be spread over a 24-hour period. Kittens that are weak and not eating enough may need to be fed more frequently. These kittens may also need supportive fluids and dextrose. Test the formula temperature before feeding; it should be warm, not hot, and around 100 degrees. You should warm the bottle by placing it in hot water or a microwave can be used. Mix the formula well and test the temperature before feeding.

program for people willing to take kittens into their homes. “We usually get more tha n 4,000 k it tens each season, from teeny tiny newborns all the way up to eight weeks,” she pointed out. “Our goal is to use our resources here at San Diego Humane Society is to keep those kittens healthy until after eight weeks when we spay and neuter them and place them up for adoption. Our goal is always to get them healthy and stable and find them their adoptive homes.” The Hu ma ne So ciet y ha s teamed with Amazon, Target, and Walmart to have “various different websites people can go to and order supplies they see on that list,” said Noble adding, “Then those supplies are divided between our campuses and our foster programs.

Positioning is very important. Laying kittens on their backs while feeding may cause aspiration which is when kittens inhale formula into their respiratory tract rather than swallowing. Aspiration can lead to pneumonia which is often fatal in young kittens. To prevent aspiration, feed the kitten flat on their belly. When placing the bottle into the kitten’s mouth, open the mouth gently with the tip of your finger. You may need to place the nipple in from the side of the mouth rather than into the front. To prevent air from getting into the stomach, hold the bottle at a 45-degree angle. If they refuse to take to the nipple or suckle, try rubbing the kittens' cheeks or cupping their faces. This often encourages them to latch. If you have multiple kittens you can feed them together to encourage sibling competition for the nipple. Using a toothbrush to “groom” the kitten helps them to relax because the roughness feels like a mama cat’s tongue.

The Humane Society’s scope of social responsibility goes beyond adopting animals. The organization offers programs that strengthen the human-animal bond, prevent cruelty and neglect, provide medical care, educate the community and serve as a safety net for all pet families. Serving San Diego County since 1880, San Diego Humane Society has ca mpuses i n El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona, and San Diego. For more information, visit sdhumane.org.

Tracy Dezenzo of the San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture pitched Midway-Pacific Highway Community Planning Group at its March 17 meeting on participating in a San Diego Public Library program. The program is asking for the public’s help in creating a photographic, historical collection titled “SNAPSHOT: a photo journal of life during the pandemic.” “They are asking San Diegans to submit 1-10 photos that could reflect a moment in time, a feeling, or an expression of how you would summarize the pandemic experience,” said Dezenzo, adding the deadline to submit photographs is June 30. Submissions can be made at https://www. sandiego.gov/public-libra r y/ snapshot.

SANDAG MULTIMODAL CORRIDOR PLAN Gia Ballash of the San Diego Association of Governments, the region’s transportation planning agency, spoke at Midway-Pacific Highway Community Planning Group’s March meeting. She addressed regional plans to evaluate travel modes and transportation facilities in a defined corridor, including highways and freeways, parallel and connecting roadways, transit, pathways and bikeways. SANDAG and Caltrans are developing a Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan for the Central Mobility Hub and Connections Corridor, which proposes turning Old Town Trolley Station into a Central Mobility Hub with connections to San Diego International Airport. “Our focus is on gathering input into the plan

we’re developing for the corridor refining concepts for the proposed central mobility hub,” said Ballash. A video detailing the Multimodal Corridor Plan can be viewed at https://sandag.mysocialpinpoint. com/cmhandconnections.

Real estate agents say it’s a seller’s market in Point Loma and Ocean Beach By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Peninsula brokers say the current real estate seller’s market with exceptionally low inventory is making it extremely tough for prospective buyers. But not impossible. “I’m working with a lot of young clients now who aren’t getting family help, and they’re buying homes in Ocean Beach and Point Loma. So it’s doable,” said Catrina Russell with Coldwell Banker West, who specializes in OB. “I’ve helped people in their 20s get homes, partly because interest rates are so low. If they can come up with a down payment, or even help with a down payment, between that and interest rates at historic lows, that can make their payments affordable.” “If they’re a cash buyer, they have much more leverage,” advised Robert (Tripp) Jackson of Catalina Realty, about how buyers can get a leg up in a seller’s market. “Be prepared and set to go with a firm-approved lender. Be more aggressive. Try to appeal to the seller. It’s amazing how, if a buyer writes a nice letter to a seller and tells them about their family or something, how a seller will connect with them.” Statistics presently show above-average housing appreciation. San Diego County median home prices have risen 14.4 percent since last year due to low mortgage rates. However, demand

remains at an all-time high while inventory is at a low making it a seller's market. Notably, the average home today is only on the market for 51 days before being sold. Peninsula housing inventory is unquestionably low right now. “We have 13 properties for sale in the 92107 ZIP Code,” said Russell noting that number is typically in the 30 to 40 range. As to why inventory is so low, she pointed out, “People in our community have owned their homes for a very long time and they’re not selling now because they don’t need to.” “I’ve never seen it so low,” agreed Jackson about current inventory. As to why he speculated, “With people getting laid off, I think homeowners were afraid if they put their homes on the market they wouldn’t sell. But the reverse is happening. People are selling their homes.” Russell said there’s more inventory now in Point Loma, which is making it easier to buy there than in OB. But the demographics of where Peninsulans are buying are changing. “Both communities are split into smaller mini-communities, with different pockets in each that are more desirable or not,” she said. “I’m finding more people now wanting to buy into what we used to call the war zone close to Dog Beach and the water. It used to be people were not looking in the war zone. But the dynamics are changing because there hasn’t been any

inventory.” What can a buyer do to separate themselves from their competition? “Pay all cash and remove their contingencies – physical inspection, review of disclosures, etc. – upfront,” answered Jackson. “The best deal for a seller is to get cashed out and close escrow in 30 days or less. If you come in all cash, it’s going to be very difficult for somebody to compete with you who needs to get vetted and approved for a loan.” Russell is uncertain about the future of Peninsula real estate, though she thinks the status quo is unlikely to change soon. “This market is so crazy, I don’t think anybody knows,” she said. “Hopefully in the future, we’ll have more inventory, which will level out the playing field for buyers. It’s tough to be a buyer with multiple offers on everything. But I think that will continue. The volume of buyers trying to get in on the market is far outweighing the inventory. I don’t see how we can catch up.” Jackson pointed out homes will sell in today’s market if they are priced right. “Some sellers think their home will still sell if they put a big fat price on it,” he said. “But I’ve seen homes on MLS sitting for months and months with sellers hoping the tide will eventually rise for them. Let the market come and speak to you. The market will pay you what the market will pay you, at that moment in time.”

BUSINESS New OB Meat Co. shop proves popular on Newport FRIDAY · March 26, 2021

THE PENINSULA BEACON

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

OB Meat Co. owners Bobby Kokinda and Shannon Nault have poured their life’s savings into their new Newport Avenue storefront and it shows. The duo, with no prior food-industry experience, started an online retail meat company out of their OB residence in mid-June 2019. Now, after a nearly two-year permitting odyssey and months

of remodeling, they are proud to unveil their new custom-made storefront at 4853 Newport Ave. The space, sandwiched in-between James Gang Co. printers and Chapter One Tattoo, formerly housed the Village Kitchen, a sitdown Mexican-American eatery, for more than 30 years. “We’ve been on a soft opening since Valentine’s Day,” said Shannon. Bobby noted their remodel was a major redo from top to bottom.

“This is a new floor and what’s underneath it is new,” he said. “We did everything – new front, heating and ventilation, display cases, counter, oven hood – you could imagine this place needing.” “It’s all brand new,” commented Shannon. “We were online just doing beef jerky,” pointed out Bobby. “And pop-ups,” added Shannon. “We needed to find the right place and the funding,” continued Bobby. “We found both and went

with it.” Bobby talked about how they found their dream place. “We were walking down the street and we called the guy whose name was on the wall on the lease sign and that was it,” he said. “The Village Kitchen was still here with everything in it but was not operating. We said, ‘If you clean it up, we’ll rent it.’ Three months later we got a call that they’d cleaned it up. So we signed.” “And then COVID hit,” recalled Bobby. “What were we going to do?” he and Shannon asked themselves. “Everything was shut down. We had no place to go. We were renting kitchens and we couldn’t do that anymore.” But Kokinda and Nault persevered. And judging by the reception they’ve gotten so far, it was worth it.

“I’ve talked with the people who owned it back in the day and they were really happy to see a momand-pop take it over,” Bobby said. “I’ve been thanked personally by a few people for helping to revitalize this end of Newport. I’m just hoping to have my business take off, and provide for the community around me and the folks that come in.” Bobby said they haven’t set a date for their grand opening just yet. “Probably right before summer,” he said. “We’re thinking the end of May or June.” Of the new business Bobby said: “It’s a growing process. We’ll probably expand our hours once we really get going. We’d like to ship steaks to the East Coast. We’d like to work it out where people can take a steak to the beach and have dinner.” Kokinda said his clientele is as diverse as Ocean Beach. “We’ve had everybody in here from the guy who lives in the alley, who loves our food and is always trying to come in and get some, to the people who live at the end of the Point at the top of the hill,” he said.

Nancy Jeremiason Pillar of San Diego Real Estate Community Nancy (Dunham) Brown Jeremiason, 79, passed peacefully surrounded by the love of her daughters, Stacey and Crista, and best friend Nancy O’Brien Dirito on March 5, 2021 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Born into a lineage of strong women on April 25, 1941, Nancy carved a successful path as a mother, mentor, businesswoman, and friend. Friends and family of Nancy knew her as a true Francophile. Nancy’s love of Paris began in Miss Archibald’s French class at Harry Ells High School in Richmond, CA. Nancy would eventually study for a semester at The Sorbonne in Paris, and embark on a return trip to create treasured memories with her daughters in 1998. Nancy was accomplished in French cuisine, perfecting the tempestuous hollandaise and béchamel sauces, and sharing her culinary creations as gifts of friendship and love for those lucky enough to know her. Nancy earned a college degree in French from U.C. Berkeley in 1964. She moved to San Diego in 1966, where she would briefly teach Catholic school, marry, start a family, and build a life of leadership and generosity, swiftly becoming a pillar of the San Diego real estate community. Widely known and respected by her clients and colleagues, Nancy started her career at Regatta Real Estate before building her own business at Village Realtors. Ultimately, Nancy joined the Willis Allen Real Estate team where clients adored her and fellow realtors relied upon her for her infinite experience. Throughout her career, Nancy is fondly remembered for mentoring new realtors, and as a member of the San Diego Real Estate Ethics Board, Nancy always could be counted on for her integrity. She led by example, showing that buying and selling properties had more to do with building a foundation in which friendships are formed, memories are made, and promises are kept. In her spare time, Nancy enjoyed cooking and baking, spending time with her family, enjoying her beloved cats, and being an unwavering fan of the UC Berkeley Cal Bears. As an avid sports fan, Nancy loved watching football and baseball both in person and on TV. She was a crossword puzzle enthusiast and avid reader of the Sunday paper up until the days right before her passing. Nancy is survived by her daughters, Crista Jeremiason of Martinez, CA, Stacey Kinley and son-in-law Robert Kinley of Pinole, CA, sister Barbara Jean Brown of Willmington, DE as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. In her final days, Nancy reminisced about a friendship of 70 years with Nancy O’Brien Dirito, as the two had been inseparable regardless of time and distance. To celebrate Nancy’s life of compassion and generosity, Stacey and Crista suggest sending memorial contributions to the San Diego Zoo or the San Diego Humane Society.

Point Loma teen raising awareness and funds for women's heart health By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Point Loma resident Ayla Bocaya has been nominated to be part of the Go Red for Women Teen of Impact campaign this year for the American Heart Association. Go Red for Women, the AHA’s signature women’s initiative, is a comprehensive platform designed to increase women’s heart health awareness and serve as a catalyst for change to improve the lives of women globally. According to the AHA, it’s no longer just about wearing red, or just about sharing heart health facts. It’s about all women making a commitment to stand together with Go Red and taking charge of their own heart health, as well as the health of others. Under the program, they make a commitment to involve a friend or a family member in the heart-healthy program. On March 20, Bocaya held a Heart Health Dog Day and fundraiser event at Ocean Beach Dog Beach. Bocaya’s mother, Rita Aloisio, noted the fundraiser, advertised through social media, “was really an opportunity for people to help spread awareness about heart health.” “We actually went and got some dog frisbees and squeaky pull toys and gave them to people when they put in a donation to my daughter,”

said Rita, adding Ayla was nominated to be the first Teen of Impact representative for Woman's health for the AHA in San Diego, along with three other candidates. All proceeds for Bocaya’s campaign will go toward the American Heart Association Teen Impact program. “Ayla is on her journey to promote woman's cardio health,” Rita said. “In assisting her, I encouraged her to be a team player by earning her points by doing a variety of promotions, activities, and of course, donations. The candidate with the most points earns a scholarship for the college of their choice.” Ayla was personally motivated to be on a mission to promote heart health. “My dad actually had a few heart problems a year ago and had to go to the hospital for a really long time,” she said. “That was my reason for helping, to spread awareness.” The Dog Beach AHA fundraiser was a success. “We raised a total of $753 and Ayla is just about to break the $2,000 fundraiser marker,” Rita said.

Spring has arrived – time to dig in for urban gardeners By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Spring has sprung for Point Loma urban gardeners and a Midway District nursery, and OB Hardware’s gardening section, are catering to all their needs. “It’s a great time, a lot of people are looking for seeds to get their gardens going, it’s just been a bit earlier than past years,” said Michael DeEmedio, co-owner of OB Hardware at 4871 Newport Ave. “We’re all stocked up here ready for springtime.” Olivia Betterton, assistant ma nager at fa m i ly- ow ne d Walter Andersen Nursery at 3642 Enterprise St. in the Midway District since 1968, and in existence since 1928, said spring planting time is now. She talked about this year’s most popular items. “The biggest sellers right now are probably a mix of either vegetables or house plants, like calathea (decorative leaves), peperomia (ornamental tropical perennials), and String of Dolphins

(s uc c u lent dolph i n- shap e d leaves) are always popular,” she said. “House plants have been really popular this year.” DeEmedio said OB Hardware carries plenty of planter boxes and all the accessories for outdoor gardeners. “We have plenty of sun and most people are doing that around here, which means they need a lot of potting soil, or planting mix if people want to plant in the ground,” he said. “We’ve got two full racks of San Diego Seed Company seeds. People really love that selection.” Touring Walter Andersen’s t h r e e - qua r t e r ac r e, c o m partmentalized nursery site, Betterton strolls by the colorful vegetable section out front. “Lots of summer veggies out here now, you’ve got a salad

People come down from all over the place for super hot peppers. It’s like their own niche group.” OB Hardware has an entire wall reserved for gardening tools, everything from hoses to shovels. “You name it,” said DeEmedio of his selection. “Pretty much anything your day-to-day gardener might need. We also have lots of fertilizer and things like starter pots.” Continuing her nursery tour, Betterton walks by the seed section which includes decorative landscape rocks. Also carried are different types of fertilizer, organic and not, plus insecticides, herbicides, and soils. There are also patio sets, benches, and knick-knacks. Another in-store section carries birdhouses, feeders, birdbaths, and wind chimes. Outside in the back, and on the side of Andersen’s, is an extensive tree section including species such as citrus, stone, and tropical fruits plus avocados, apples, peaches, and plums. There

is also a huge selection of berry bushes. What’s new in the gardening realm? “Lots of young people are gardening, starting their own gardens at home,” answered DeEmedio. “It’s a good way to get your food and stay busy.” Open since 1919, OB Hardware is a full-service hardware and garden supply center. The store carries a little bit of everything including screws, nails, fasteners, plumbing and electrical supplies, and kitchen items, as well as paints. The hardware store’s entire back room is devoted to

Also on hand is a huge selection of native plants, as well as a wide assortment of pots of all shapes, sizes, and materials. Betterton noted Andersen’s likes to carry hard-to-find items. “We try to carry unusual things,” she said. “You can go elsewhere and get the run-ofthe-mill stuff. We want to have a little more to offer people than everybody else. And we tend to do a really good job.” Betterton had some advice to offer local gardeners as they strive to get the most out of their plantings this spring and summer. “If you’re going to start with veggies or edibles, something you’re going to eat, I tell them, ‘Don’t be overly ambitious.’ Start small and build a little bit of confidence. Some people think they’re going to grow this crazy rare super tropical thing that they’ve never seen before. Sometimes it’s good to start small, get comfortable. It’s a learning experience. See what you like and what you’re good at.” Any other advice? “Get out there and garden,” concluded Betterton.

LOMA CLUB TO ADD MINI GOLF, COCKTAIL BAR Construction is underway for the renovation of Liberty Station’s Loma Club along with the addition of a mini golf course and cocktail concept, called “Tappers.” obrARCHITECTURE worked closely with Laura Johnson and Luke Mahoney, co-founders of the East Village’s You & Yours Distilling Co., to dream up and design this new concept. The Loma Club has occupied the 9-hole par 3 course since January 2020 and has extended the course amenities by adding a live music venue

and social club to the site. The project includes a two-phase renovation and addition of a 3,200 square-foot clubhouse currently at the Loma Club and an 18-hole miniature golf course. This new miniature golf extension will be called “Tappers at the Loma Club” and The Loma Club Clubhouse will be receiving a renovation with an upscale cocktail bar addition. John Levan and Oliver Mahoney, business partners with Johnson and L. Mahoney, will co-operate the course and bar. As this is the first major renovation on the Clubhouse since it was built in 1914, all parties intentionally worked to preserve the historic fabric, yet it is designed to present a more up-to-date look, including a

family-friendly aesthetic with hints of classic films like Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore throughout. Construction will be phased so daily play and use of the facilities will not be interrupted. Expected completion is summer of 2021.

April Fool‛s Day Surprises The first day of April is April Fool’s Day. It is a time for lots of fun. People like to play harmless jokes and pranks. One favorite trick is to point out something that’s not really there! April Fool’s Day used to be called All Fool’s Day. It is thought to have started in France. A long time ago, March 21st was the date of the New Year. A little over a week of parties and fun followed. On the last day of the festivities, April 1st, formal visits were paid and gifts exchanged. In the 16th century, the Gregorian calendar was introduced. March 21st was no longer New Year’s Day and April 1st was no longer the right day to visit and give gifts. News traveled slowly in those early times, so many people continued to celebrate April 1st as the last big day of the holiday season. Many others did not like the change of date and refused to change their ways. People who clung to the old ways were called “April fools.” Today, on April 1st, you might hear someone call out, “Poisson d’Avril!” They have fooled someone and are calling them an “April fish.” The person took the “bait” and was easily “caught.” April Fool’s Day is a day for tricks that hurt no one. It is a time for laughter.

111-year-old building at Naval Base Point Loma renovated for use By KAREN SCANLON AND MARY ELLEN CORTELLINI | The Beacon

By mid-1904, the construction of San Diego’s Army post was completed. Barracks buildings, hospital, officers’ quarters, bakehouse, and a guardhouse ran along the hillside in the lee of the Point Loma peninsula. But something was missing at Fort Rosecrans, and at many U.S. Army posts of the era. A feel-good place for soldiers to gather. “Before the mid-1890s, a soldier was issued his basic kit of uniform and ration, three meals a day, and a place to sleep,” says military historian Joe Janesic, Coast Defense Study Group, Los Angeles. “For anything extra, the nearest store at many posts was miles away. “The solution: A regional commander would contract a vendor called the post sutler who held exclusive privilege to provide goods and services to soldiers. These sutlers were enormously corrupt, and often soldiers became indebted to them. The post exchange grew out of the need to better serve enlisted personnel.” Construction of the Fort Rosecrans Post Exchange, a large, red-brick building, began

in 1908, its architectural style unlike the Colonial Revival of other nearby structures. According to San Diego Union and Daily Bee, April 5, 1908, the Fort Rosecrans Post Commander, Major G.W. Gatchell, stated: “The post exchange is established at most army posts for the purpose of making the life of soldiers more enjoyable. The building is large enough to contain a gymnasium, library, and a lunch counter…where soldiers can buy pies and cakes…” and other non-essentials. And so it was. The building was completed with a main floor, basement, and a half second story finished as an interior balcony. Costly, up-to-date gymnastic paraphernalia, including traveling rings, horizontal bars, weight machines, vaulting horses, and two punching bags sat on hardwood platforms. Installation was such that all apparatus could be removed or suspended from the ceiling and the floor used for dancing. In the basement were two bowling lanes installed in 1909 by the Brunswick-BalkeCollender Co. The company installed billiards and pool tables elsewhere in the building. The authors contacted Brunswick to ask if photos existed of the alleys installed

Airport Innovation Lab tests concepts to enhance passenger health and safety The Airport Innovation Lab at San Diego International Airport (SAN) has launched its fifth accelerator program, this one focusing on health and safety at airports. Six companies with solutions that enhance the touchless journey or advance queue management have been welcomed into the program to test and refine ideas in a real-life airport environment. The six companies and their concepts are: • Ariadne Maps: Test and further develop a software and hardware product for indoor crowd analytics and localization to better understand the movement of passengers in the terminal environment. They will also develop and test a dashboard that may include some of the following: a number of unique visitors, duration of average visit, hourly occupancy of area, duration of visit per hour, heat map over a time period, etc. • Art of Context: Test recently developed patent pending universal touchless device technology that provides a drop-in, touchless alternative to using touchscreens in existing kiosks and interactive digital signage. Users will be able to interact with the kiosk using familiar and intuitive interfaces such as voice control and remote control via their mobile device. • Honeywell: Will utilize existing technology to evaluate the value created through deeper video analytics and the effects of positive/negative real time feedback available to the public in the areas of social distancing, mask detection and possibly contact tracing. • Intelligent Track Systems A/S: A modern and fully Intellectual Property protected lightweight trolley fitted with a computer tablet that scans passenger-boarding pass. • TrayMask: Recyclable sanitary cover for an airplane seat back tray table, referred to as "TrayMask." • ZeroWaste/Banqloop: Smart waste bin enabled with sorting robotics, grinding, and packaging of raw sorted material. “COVID forced airports around the world to re-evaluate health and safety protocols to mitigate spreading the virus,” said Rick Belliotti, director of customer experience and innovation at SAN. “We recruited companies that offer viable solutions to

reducing passenger contact with hightouch points and effectively managing social distancing. this is an exceptional batch of innovators and we are already extremely impressed with their ideas that have the potential to shape the future airport customer experience.” From now through the summer, the fifth cohort will participate in a full-virtual program that includes online workshops, sessions with subject matter experts from the Airport Authority and potentially live testing in the airport as health and safety restrictions permit. At the end of the program, successful innovators have the potential to enter into contract negotiations with San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, the airport’s owner and operator, and/or gain entrée to other airports and analogous businesses including other transportation hubs, convention centers, shopping malls and other large venues such as ballparks, theme parks, and hotels. “COVID-19 has taught us a lot about mitigating the spread of the virus in a large public venue,” said Kimberly J. Becker, Airport Authority president and CEO. “As we focus on recovery and plan for the redevelopment of our Terminal 1, we are very interested in concepts that add to creating a safe and healthy environment for all who travel through our airport. Those innovations that succeed at SAN now in the midst of the pandemic will add to our ability to be ready for when passenger volumes return to normal.” The unique Airport Innovation Lab was launched to reduce barriers for innovators to break into the aviation industry. Pre-pandemic, participating companies tested and developed their concepts in this 3,500-square-foot space which offers a functional mini-terminal area with ticket counters and a bag claim carousel, all without passenger or security concern to work around. With the onset of the pandemic, the program shifted to a full-virtual format and as stay-at-home restrictions allow, testing is conducted onsite at SAN.

at former military posts, in particular, at Fort Rosecrans. Brunswick’s vice-president of capital equipment, David M. Sella, researched their archives but said nothing was available prior to the 1930s. Communications continued with Sella, and Brunswick gifted two vintage bowling pins for San Diego’s renovated building. Local craftsman, Jim Craig, constructed a handsome wooden wall mount for one of the pins, which is included in a permanent history exhibit presented to the Navy by the authors. Most of the Army’s early post exchange buildings were constructed from the same government blueprint. Furthermore, according to San Diego Union and Daily Bee, Feb. 22, 1909: “The work of installing the bowling alleys at Fort Rosecrans will begin this morning… they are the same as were recently built in the gymnasium building at Whipple Barracks near Prescott, Ariz. by

Brunswick’s LA rep, S. P. Dysinger.” The authors contacted the Arizona Historical Society, which was able to provide photographs of Fort Whipple’s bowling lanes. Since no photographs of the Fort Rosecrans alley have been discovered, they can rely on the Fort Whipple replica. The Post Exchange and gymnasium served soldiers until Fort Rosecrans property was transferred to the U.S. Navy in 1959 for a submarine support facility. Soon after, a renovation scraped the sporting equipment, a second story added, and the building was employed otherwise. For the past 20 years, the handsome brick building stood empty and forlorn, until the 2020 renovation. The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed a public grand opening, but today, the Security Department at Naval Base Point Loma occupies the former Army Post Exchange building.

Obituary: Leslie Perlis – Point Loma High alum and renowned glass artist By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Leslie Perlis

Point Loma High School alumna and glass artist Leslie Perlis, 70, died recently from COVID complications. She is best remembered by those who shared her life as one of the high school’s biggest supporters. “She was the high school’s patron saint and mom,” said Mel Gillum, her soulmate. “She always was very active in Point Loma High with band moms or fundraising for the school’s music department.” “She remained active in the

community throughout her life and started the Eric Pratt Drum Line Fund to support the Point Loma High School Band Boosters when her son, Eric, passed a few years ago,” noted Midway business owner Cathy Kenton who characterized Perlis as colorful. “Leslie lived for color and she colored in so many ways throughout her life,” she said. Leslie Perlis moved to San Diego when she was in the sixth grade attending local schools and graduated in 1968 from PLHS, noted Kenton, who added Perlis graduated with an art degree from UCLA and went on to become internationally recognized for her art glass work. Kenton said Leslie was an only-child who “quickly found two ‘sisters’ in Margy Newman and me. The three of us, often referred to by our families as the ‘Three Musketeers,’ were inseparable throughout the years and remained best of friends throughout our lives.” Kenton noted Leslie lived and worked at her studio in the Sunset Cliffs area, where she crafted her works of art. “The installations in my home are two of her smaller efforts,” Kenton said. “Her work is a feature in many churches, synagogues, restaurants, and residences. Several of her commissions and pieces can be seen on her website, leslieperlis.com.”

On her website, Perlis’ is described as “a pioneer in the studio glass movement celebrating color and original design to bring this centuries-old art form into the future.” Her website also notes she was an “author and teacher who gave detailed instruction and inspiration to glass artists worldwide.” Perlis wrote a book titled “Dimensional Mosaics with Fused & Painted Glass Elements.” “Leslie had 40 years-plus in the glass business,” said Gillum adding, “Her credits include Nati’s Mexican Restaurant where she was commissioned to do a window for the waiting area. She also designed the window, that was 5-feet by 15-feet, for Point Loma Presbyterian Church, nicknamed the red brick church. She did numerous projects at Sunset Hills Elementary and Dana Middle schools. She also did a commission for the Brigantine Restaurant, as well as the chapel at Lawrence Family Jewish Center in La Jolla. Her work appeared in private homes, synagogues and churches throughout San Diego and across the United States.” Perlis was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Art Glass Association of Southern California. Gillum described his best friend as “always cheery and bubbly, ready for an adventure.”

Kenton recalls Leslie “loved dancing and together with her partner of nearly 10 years, Mel Gillum, she enjoyed dancing, off-roading, camping and travel.” Added Kenton, “I could tell you stories for days about Leslie, as can Mel and many others.” Gillum described one of Leslie’s more famous pieces of glass art called “The Escaping Girl” as “semi-related to Leslie’s own journey of coming out of darkness. But what it doesn’t show is that she was always reaching back to help other people.” Gillum added Leslie was involved for a decade putting together stockings around the holidays to be given to military troops. “Last year we did over 200 stockings for troops,” he said. “And we would bring them over to our contact on North Island.” Leslie was the full organizer, shopper and financial backer for the “stockings for the troops” projects. Concluded Gillum of Perlis: “Leslie died very young at heart, and lived every day to its fullest along with her love of music, dancing, art and colors.” In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting a donation to be made to PLHS Boosters, in memory of Leslie for the Eric Pratt Drum Line Fund.

San Diego brewer, marketer wins ‘Woman of the Year’ national award By KENDRA SITTON | The Beacon

San Diegan Megan Stone was honored at the Craft Beer Marketing Awards as the first recipient of the “Woman of the Year” award in 2020. Industry peers selected her for the award based on her experience as a brewer, marketer, social media influencer, and “diversity, equity and inclusion” advocate. “I put these efforts in because it’s things that I care about and I don't necessarily sit there and think about how people think of me or how popular I am. It was just nice to know that people appreciated the work,” Stone said. “I think it's nice to have a woman of the year category because it shines the light on the different people that make up this industry.” Stone started in the craft brew industry as a server at Dogfish Head Brewing in Delaware and became fascinated with the process of brewing. “That's where my obsession with beer started. I just thought it was so interesting how unique beer can be,” said Stone, who is non-binary and uses she/her and they/them pronouns. “As a seasonal server, my orientation was a brewery tour, and after the brewery tour I was just in complete awe and in love with everything and decided that I wanted to be a brewer, so I propelled myself into

that world.” During their breaks, they would read books on brewing and eventually entered an employee brewing contest, which they won alongside more experienced brewers. From there, Stone transitioned into brewing full-time. After moving to San Diego from Delaware, Stone began the Instagram profile with the @ isbeeracarb handle that would launch them into social media

popularity and a new career. Stone has more than 33,000 followers who view photos of her interests, including beer, fashion, travel, and colorful hair. In addition, Stone shares some of their experiences as a member of the LGBT+ community in a male-dominated industry and advocates for inclusion that helps people from all backgrounds thrive. "I've always been a very creative person and a very visual person so it was definitely a natural occurrence. I didn't seek out anything from Instagram. I wasn't looking to be Instagram famous or an influencer, it just sort of happened... And then from there, all these opportunities arose,” she said. “As a female in the craft beer industry as well, I applaud Megan Stone’s efforts,” said Craft Beer Marketing Awards co-founder Jackie DiBella in a released statement. “We’re here to support her endeavors, and equally proud to honor and celebrate the amazing efforts our industry has contributed in our new category for human rights.” Stone’s burgeoning popularity on Instagram led to another career pivot from solely brewing into running social media, marketing and consulting for breweries across the nation and even internationally. Like when she first became

interested in brewing, Stone took to reading everything she could find and listening to podcasts about marketing. Despite never enjoying school and even dropping out of high school, Stone loves to learn in hands-on ways. “I just like to immerse myself entirely in that world. I love learning and that's one of the things about brewing is you're constantly learning and the same with marketing — trends in the industry are constantly evolving so it's really stimulating and challenging and that's something that I really enjoy,” they said. As she used her knowledge to help friends with small businesses, Stone found new opportunities to be a part of the beer industry as a marketing consultant and social media manager. Stone has worked for San Diego breweries such as Refuge, Mikkeller, Modern Times, and Societe. Stone brewed collaborations in Panama and the U.K. In 2019, she founded a diversity, equity and inclusion apprenticeship at U.K.-based Laine Brew Co. Beyond advancing her career, Stone used her platform to discuss problems she and others faced in the largely straight, white male industry. Stone said they always cared about equality and that they have focused on issues in the craft beer industry for the last few years because they are already so passionate about it. Advocacy was

not something she initially sought out but started in response to other people making her feel she did not belong. "I definitely had a lot of great experiences and a lot of great people in my life and great mentors, but sometimes the people who are not so great are a lot louder," Stone said. "I try really hard to change people's perspectives... I didn't want to have a platform that was just beautiful photos. I wanted it to have some sort of impact. I realized that I had this platform and this sort of reach with an audience and that it was very useful in encouraging people to be better and to do better." The CBMAS recognizes 34 beer-marketing categories that celebrate the best of craft beverages. Presenting sponsor, Hillebrand supports CBMAS’ mission to honor the individuals and teams that promote beer industry growth through innovative and creative marketing. “I’m so glad Megan was nominated for this award. Her passion is contagious. She is a human rights warrior,” said CBMAS co-founder Jim McCune in a released statement. In 2020, CBMAS extended to judging hard seltzer, cider, and mead. New categories have been added and the awards competition now includes entries from all over the world to be judged by 330 industry professionals.

THE McCURDY MINUTE Real Estate Topics Everyone Can Relate To NEW DECADE, NEW DECOR Well kind of...skip 2020 for obvious reasons and get a fresh start in every sense of the word. Stay on trend with these home decorating and style tips for 2021 and beyond. “New decade, new decor. Stay stylish this coming year...and beyond." Remodeling and refurnishing can be overwhelming and costly...if you let it. Here are some trends you can integrate into your home as slowly or quickly as you like. COLOR PALETTE Flashback two decades - colors were deep, warm and earthy. Taupe dominated wall color, broken up by mustard or brick red accent walls and shades of dark green against dark wood floors, cabinets, and Travertine tile. 2010 both softened and muted the mood to a cooler palette that included whites, grays and blues against

light rustic wood floors for a lighter and more beachy feel. Recently, we have seen the movement toward classic black and white both exterior (think modern farmhouse) and interior (white subway tile with white marble kitchen counters, white cabinets, and statement light fixture). Moving forward expect whites and neutrals to remain popular but with brighter pops of color integrated into paint and decor. 2021 color of year...? "Ultimate Gray" AND "Illuminating" as the accent. Below, see how to integrate loudly or softly. TEXTURES Think cozy fabrics to soften the room such as shearling, knotty wool, worn leather and woven, natural materials to curl up with. Keep in mind, many of these fabrics are too heavy for our SoCal seaside weather, so lighten up with lighter versions such linen, cotton, and bamboo. On the contrary keep

your eyes peeled for industrial finishes like metal and rivets. ROOMS Of course, 2020 declared home office as a new sacred room, so think about how to recreate your or your kids' quiet space to read and work. But, let's talk kitchens. With entertaining on its comeback, make your kitchen THE place. Everyone always ends up there anyway, so why not make it just as inviting as a dining or family room? Kitchens are by default, functional spaces that provide a place to prepare and serve food. But since we spend a lot of time in our kitchens, make it your own space to showcase your personality. Spice it up with bright cabinet colors, open shelves with accent pieces, and interesting light fixtures. Frame your favorite piece of fine art and admire it more often! TRENDS THAT TRANSCEND Notice trends that might remind you of your

younger years or...reinvent the wheel. Wicker and rattan has made a come back as well as antique art because it tells a story. Floating vanities, vintage flair, diamond patterns and brass are all the rage, but use sparingly to create interest but not distraction to a room. Moody, dark walls filled with funky art and a midcentury dining set merge old world with reinvented modern flair. OUTDOOR LIVING Since we live indoor/outdoor year round, it's only fitting to include inspiration for outdoor space versus man caves (sorry guys) Natural woods and materials will continue to thrive, but you will also see minimalist design with structured metal frames in chrome, brass, copper and aluminum (hint: make sure to pay premium for powder coated versions of these metals or they will quickly deteriorate in our damp, ocean air). Furniture design moves toward

function such as modular seating, removable hammocks, and dual purpose storage tables, benches, and couches. Interactive spaces that include planter boxes and gardens are fun too- include and inspire kids to get outside! ABOUT US We hope this article was useful.
