Tonys Blog
Its always a proud day for me to be a part of this great nation and appreciate those that have fought or that are currently defending such liberties we enjoy within our borders and beyond. Its also a time to reflect on my ancestors whom made very difficult decisions to leave their country to be a part of the spirit that became our pledge - the pursuit of happiness. And while my exposure to the political world is admittedly quite naive, there is nothing that makes more proud than returning home to within our US borders while others only come to visit with envy. Its a new generation Im a part of and our beliefs certainly lack the depth of those that proceeded us. But its the American Dream that lives on and my family is proud to appreciate/celebrate it everyday... Happy Fourth of July and GOD BLESS Amercia!

south bay
Lunada Bay, a neighborhood on the west side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Palos Verdes Estates, was one of the early areas developed as part of the Palos Verdes Project. It may be hard to envision today, with the extensive landscaping and groves of trees which currently exist on the Peninsula, but the Palos Verdes Peninsula in the 1920s primarily consisted of coastal sage brush with very few trees. The Palos Verdes Project in the 1920s and 1930s employed a large number of gardeners who planted trees and plants. A very large nursery was constructed on the current site of Lunada Bay Plaza to grow plants to be used by the Palos Verdes Project. The large median strip down the middle of Palos Verdes Drive West was planned to accommodate the expansion of the Red Car trolley line to the area. Original plans called for the construction of the Lunada Bay shopping plaza on Via Mirola, but it was later built on Yarmouth Road. Original plans also envisioned several recreational facilities which were never constructed. One of these, the proposed Pacific Coast Yacht Club, was to be a million dollar enterprise backed by leading yachtsmen, to be housed in a palatial building south of Bluff Cove, and included a large marina. Another planned improvement was a breakwater to be constructed to form a swim cove at Lunada Bay. The fountain in the median strip of Palos Verdes Drive West in Lunada Bay was a gift

from funds raised by 250 neighborhood children organized by Jeane Burke, a resident of Rocky Point in Lunada Bay, and a plaque at the fountain displays the fountains name: Fuente de los Ninos (the fountain of the children). The fountain is dedicated to G. Brooks Snelgrove, who was the original engineer for the Palos Verdes Project in 1923.The fountain was refurbished in December 2008, paid for by the generous donations of Lunada Bay residents. One interesting event that occurred in 1961, which people still talk about, was the running aground of the Greek freighter Dominator just off of Rocky Point. The freighter was heading south along the Palos Verdes coast line, and thinking they had reached the Los Angeles harbor, made an ill-fated left turn too early and ran aground. Only a small amount of remnants of the ship can still be seen at low tide. A large landslide occurred during the El Nino winter of 1982-1983 above Bluff Cove on Palos Verdes Drive West which caused 2 homes to be destroyed. City drain pipes failed during the heavy rains that winter. The City continues to own seven of the homes which were bought to settle a lawsuit. The City Manager and several police officers lived in the homes for many years, but due to recent slide activity, the city has

{history of surfing in the south bay}
As the owner of Spyder Surfboards and a longtime surfer and resident of Hermosa Beach, Dennis Jarvis is full of knowledge when it comes to the history of surfing and just how great of a surf city Hermosa Beach was at one time. South Bay Digs caught up with Jarvis to chat about how surfing has changed the past few decades, the local legends of the sport and what he sees for the future of surfing.

SCENE
What has changed in surfing over the past few decades? It has all been about technology. Through the 1960s and possibly before, the advent of polyurethane foam blanks created a lighter surfboard. That was a huge bonus at the time and became much more mainstream. It actually grew into a really flourishing business throughout the South Bay. This is where the Greg Nolls and the Dewey Webers started. The lighter surfboard allowed us to have more style in the maneuvers. They really started exploring different designs which brought a whole new standard. The surfboard performed under your feet. Surfers then had specific styles catered to the board they liked, so when a guy took off on a wave at 16th street, you knew who is was. Over the years here, we can see a change in board performance and the technical aspects of the board that has helped people do so many different maneuvers. People dont realize that where we are in the advancement of the surfboard is so much father along then anything we ever thought it would be. Why have so many Hermosa Beach surfing legends been forgotten? If we had better waves, wed have more eyeballs on the city. Wed be more of a cultivator of surfing and skating. The things of today are still inspired by the guys that created it. We have a cycle in the surfing world, just like other sports. Everyone had a unique style in the 70s around here. The whole professional California movement kind of started here with Mike Purpus and Mike Benavidez and Chris Barela and Terry Stevens. They got it going. These incredible surfers then went out on the world stage and proved that we could do it. Ted Robinson had a quick style with very little arm movement and was a top 16 surfer. Chris Frohoff is another. He went up against the best in the world
and would win two contests in one day and his arms were more like a bird the way his wrists were held. Everyone would try to emulate him. These guys are legends in the California scene, but arent getting enough acclaim. The thinking in the world of surfing now on Hermosa Beach is that it is a dying resource for the professional world. Not too many people have come out of here recently. This was the hot bed at one time. People at the Hermosa Beach community center are doing a great thing by keeping it alive, but the city itself is doing a huge disservice by not utilizing the history of surfing here. They could really step it up. I could go down a list of about 50 people who deserve to be honored in some way, but have never received that attention. What would you do to bring more of an awareness to the history of surfing in Hermosa Beach? If you dont get the youth behind the sport, you are out of business. The issue with that is that it is making these guys irrelevant, especially to the youth who likely dont know who they are. Bring in these guys and make it relevant again. As the owner of Spyder Surfboards, I need to make that 10-year old kid love surfing and learn about it. It is a loss if these guys arent known. How has the culture of surfing changed since youve been involved in the sport? So many of the surfers today come off very corporate. What happened to the fun? A lot of the fun has been sucked out of it and turned into a dollar sign. When it turned from a $15 million industry to a $60 billion industry is when things changed. You have companies like Hollister, Target and Walmart, where they are making $50 billion and are sucking the fun out of it. The majority of the top 30 surfers are super corporate. You want to have ambassadors to grow the sport. You need people at the top who are fresh and different. To sell
yourself, you really need to be talented and also have a great personality that keeps people interested in you. What do you see for the future of the sport? It scares me. What Im afraid of is that we are getting to the end of the perceived value because the kids dont get the value. We need to build back the relationship with the surfing enthusiast. The product because of these bigger companies has been diluted and it needs to be plugged in once again. If I was surfing in todays world, Id be out there looking for a sponsor instead of just going out to surf and watching my favorite locals guys, like I did when I was younger. Unheard of stuff is happening right now when it comes to tricks. How much further can it go? People will probably start to switch their stances up or try to separate from the surfboard like they do in motocross. What was it like when you were on tour and how does it compare to the professional surfers today? It was all about doing hard carves and 360 degree turns when I was on the tour and now it is all about how high you can get from the wave and then landing it. What I see now is more consistency and speed with the top pros because of the equipment. They are getting to places on the wave that we never could. They are pretty much able to do everything you can and want to do on a skateboard. What would you do to keep the sport prominent? If I had an opportunity and was at the board meetings of these big companies, Id say you need to stop being so technical about everything. Where is the fun? Surfing is fun. That is missing. The guys in the 1960s would fall asleep on the beach in Malibu because they wanted to be the first ones out in the water the next morning. Where is that at? We are missing that right now. You need to get back to the core of surfing. It is a relaxing thing and can be spiritual for others. Im a big fan of surfing. It should be fun and is fun.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT KAMINSKY REAL ESTATE GROUP
Ed Kaminsky
I knew Ed was one of the most active agents in the area, so when we started working with him I thought he might be too busy for us. I was pleasantly surprised to find out he was there for us morning, noon and night, every step of the way. I dont think he sleeps. He is organized, a great negotiator and his team was spectacular. - Paul K., Manhattan Beach
Tina Kaminsky
My wife and I had already spent three or four months monitoring the online listing sites and visiting open houses on our own before we decided to enlist the services of a buyers agent. We felt confident that Tina and Ed understood what we were looking for and over the next few months they worked with us, developing our understanding of the local market and helping us hone our own priorities as we visited listing after listing. They brought us an opportunity that checked off several of our must-haves, but was located in a section of Manhattan Beach that we had not seriously considered. After spending a few hours in the neighborhood, we knew it was perfect. We put together an offer over the weekend and although we found ourselves in a multiple bid situation, by Thursday we were in escrow. - M. Fransciso, Manhattan Beach
Becky Davidson
If youre looking for an amazing Realtor, Becky Davidson is it! My husband and I just bought our first home and couldnt be more thrilled. Beckys professionalism, knowledge of the market and enthusiasm made the process go very smoothly. Right from our first meeting, I knew she understood our needs and was totally committed to helping us find our perfect new home. Becky always made herself available to us by email, phone or text. We never had to wait long to get an answer to our questions or a follow up on an issue. Another quality that makes her a stand out agent is that she never pressured us into the wrong home. Who needs the added stress of second guessing such an important decision? If we are ever in the market again, we will definitely be calling Becky. - Ivonne and Sal Huertas, Redondo Beach
STACI BROOKS
When we decided it was time to buy our first home to support our growing family, we really didnt know where to begin. We couldnt have been more fortunate to connect with Staci, who not only found us the perfect house but also helped us through every step of the process. We had many specific needs, including space for a home office, a quiet street, a house that required very little maintenance (we arent very handy!) and she found us the needle-in-ahaystack that fulfilled them all. She both brought us to a fantastic house and helped us get a great price as well. We love it and will absolutely be recommending her to our friends in the South Bay who are buying a home. - Ryan Leach & Lydia Veilleux

Walk two blocks in any direction in Hermosa Beach, and youll come across at
least one surf shop. But just one of these surf shops has stayed true to its owners original vision: Keep stoked, be happy, and be the best for every customer who comes into the store. Eddie Talbots formula for a laid-back surf store could also be considered his
winning formula and the main reason that E. T. Surf has remained in business experiencing many changes.

E.T. soon became known throughout the community as the store that would sell
materials to the underground surfers. Ryan did the shaping, while Ed and Ralph did all the glassing. It was the best, enthuses Talbot. Everyone in the surfing community was
there to help. It wasnt about the money. But there was a certain stoke in the air that was and still is hard to explain. Talbot describes this unique period as a time when there was no goal, other
than not getting a haircut and fighting the establishment. An establishment that they obviously later became a part of. But at least in our minds the fact of not getting totally sucked in made it all worthwhile, says Talbot. And Talbot doesnt forget who got him started in the first place. Greg Noll influenced me the most during that part of my life, not only as a boss employees at E.T. Surf. Daniel Del Castillo has been the store manager at E.T. for over 25 years, and he credits Talbot with being the main reason why hes still there. Hes made it to where I could stay hes such a great guy, explains Del Castillo. What started out for E. T. as selling surfboards and related items has evolved into skateboards, shorts, tee shirts, boogie boards, snowboards, and countless other items, all with a laid-back feel. Change is the one constant in our business, says Talbot. We dictate nothing. Stop into E.T. Surf sometime not only will you see tons of surf, skate, and snow merchandise and get great customer service, youll experience a bit of Hermosa history.

Boards had become shorter and guys began building their own boards, Talbot explains. The mind set was that all the large board builders were in the business of business and that surfing had lost its soul. Talbot had started out working for Greg Noll, the legendary local board shaper, who allowed a certain amount of catering to the underground by selling blanks and resin to surfers wanting to build their own specialized boards. This was a move that was counter to his [Nolls] best interests, but I feel it was his way of sympathizing with the real heart of surfing, says Talbot. Talbot, meanwhile, was just having fun surfing and describes himself during this time as, far from ready to join the real world. However, he knew a decision would have to be made soon: take surfing seriously, or be a part of his own world. As Noll was retiring soon, he offered to let Talbot take over the business. Cautious about taking on the stores accumulated debt, Talbot joined up with Pat Ryan, Ed Sakal, Ralph Houghtby and Billy Robinson all of whom had left Noll on good terms -and E. T. was born.
but as a mentor, says Talbot. That influence is now passed on from Talbot to his own

The Beverly Hilton, on Wilshire Blvd. in the iconic symbol of wealth and luxury that is Beverly Hills, has a newly redecorated pleasure of a swimming pool that happens to be the largest outdoor heated pool in Beverly Hills (it spans 93 feet by 36 feet). The Aqua Star Pool is heated year-round to a perfect 82 degrees and has just been reinvigorated by stylist Estee Stanley for summer 2013. Stanley created a classic summer style with lemon trees and lush bougainvillea that shade plush white pool chairs and fire pit arrangements perfect for sunset cocktails. Each of the poolside cabanas are styled with navy and white pillows and playful art pieces. Al fresco lunches at the hotels signature restaurant, Circa 55, will now be enjoyed under modern sculptural lighting with refined yet relaxed seating options. The pool staff is outfitted in Lacoste from head-totoe in a navy and white palette to compliment the bright dcor. The outdoor oasis plays host to numerous fashion photo shoots and remains the place to see and be seen in Los Angeles, with a history as star-studded as Hollywood itself. The recently deceased swimmer and classic film star Esther Williams officially inaugurated the pools new look by swimming through white gardenias with three of her swim students. Angelina Jolie fulfilled her promise to jump in the pool in her Randolph Duke gown, after she won the Golden

ESMoA
brings a rt to
WRITT EN By Quinn Robe rts
South Bay residents Brian and Eva Sweeney had a dilemma. As art collectors, they could no longer find space on the walls of their home to hang artwork. Trying to figure out how to solve that problem, Brian thought about finding a storage unit and placing all of the unhung artwork there. It was only when he saw a place for sale in El Segundo that he had the idea of opening a space to showcase the art, which locals now know as ESMoA. Opening a little less than five months ago at 208 Main Street in the heart of El Segundo, ESMoA has been quite popular with the local community.

basic drawing materials. It will also host an event called Experiences in Embodiment: The Art of Yoga on July 12. Then on July 20, ESMoA will help explore the history of nudity in western art from antiquity to today in Discover Truth: The nude in art. Everyone is excited to see what is new and fresh. The appreciation for art grows the more you see it. You get more out of it the more knowledgeable you become, Brian Sweeney said. We are trying to mix it all up. Well have a 15th century piece next to one that was made just a few years ago. We have all different types of mediums next to each other. Focused on art education, Brian and Eva also enjoy having schools from El Segundo and the surrounding communities come to ESMoA. With so many school districts cutting back on their art programs, Brian sees the space as a kid friendly atmosphere that can take less than 30 minutes to explore. People tend to think differently when surrounded by art. Art helps people become more creative and make them more well rounded, Brian Sweeney said. We are extremely happy with the amount of people that are coming through the space. It has definitely exceeded our expectations. I never imagined that this is where we would be. We started with baby steps and it has all gone very quickly. For more info on ESMoA, visit: esmoa.org
I just wanted to have a warehouse to be able to look at the artwork once in a while. I started trying to find an inexpensive place to put them, when I came across the spot in El Segundo, Brian Sweeney said. I started thinking some more and talked to the mayor and realized this would be a great way for people to see fine art. We wanted to build a space that would be free and open to the public. Showcasing 35 to 40 works of art for about three months during each exhibit, ESMoAs current exhibit is called Truth and runs until August 25. Some of the highlights include works from Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera, Robert Mapplethorpe and Gustav Klimt. Five pieces in the current exhibit have even hung at the Getty. Just in the next month, ESMoA will also have three different events. The first is Drop-in Life Drawing (July 7, 14, 21. 28), a free workshop with draped models and
