BRIX is located at 16635 Pacific Coast Highway and their number is 562-592-3167 and their website is http://www.brix4wine.com/
Warship Open House June 19th and 20th
The public will have a unique opportunity to visit an advanced U.S. Navy warship and meet her crew at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station June 19 and 20th.
The guided missile destroyer USS Gridley (DDG 101) will be open for weekend public visitation, with Saturday tours given from 10:00 am to 2:00 p.m., and Sunday tours provided from 10:00 am to 1:30 pm. Hands-on displays of other Navy and Marine Corps equipment will also be available, including Marine Corps and SEAL vehicles, as well as high-tech motion ride chair simulators with vision goggles. Music will be provided by members of Navy Band Southwest.
The tour is free of charge and no reservations are required. Cameras are permitted, and walking shoes are highly recommended. No backpacks or handbags will be allowed onboard the ship, and the vessel is not accessible to the handicapped. Public entry will only be available via the station’s Wharf Gate, located on Seal Beach Boulevard, 200 yards south of the Pacific Coast Highway intersection. No access will be available from the station’s Main Gate.
The Gridley is a sister ship to the USS Dewey, which was commissioned here in March, and many people were unable to get tickets to that event. However, this is a chance to see the same type of ship and the last time there was an “open house” on guided missle destroyer in Seal Beach there were over 10,000 visitors. The lines moved quickly and the crew were worthy ambassadors for their ship. The firepower on just one of these destroyers is equal to some of the naval battle forces of World War II.
Commencing operations in 1944 as a U.S. Naval Ammunition and Net Depot, Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach is the Pacific Fleet’s premier ordnance loading and storage installation. The base provides munitions for a majority of the fleet’s surface ships, and services approximately 50 U. S. Navy vessels annually. More information on USS Gridley can be found online at http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=4200&tid=900&ct=4 and http://www.gridley.navy.mil.
For more information or to arrange media access for this event please contact the station Public Affairs Office at (562) 626-7215.

FREE SUMMER CONCERTS. . . Start July 7!

Seal Beach Chamber Presents the Annual Concert Series
From classic rock to blues and folk tunes – and of course, a few “Regular Guys” – FREE summer concerts by the pier are once again on the way to Seal Beach starting June 7.
The Seal Beach Chamber Summer Concert Series will kick off Wednesday July 7 with the fabulous Irish Sounds of Sligo Rags. All concerts are at Eisenhower Park at the foot of the Seal Beach Pier from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays through Sept. 1. The Sligo Rags opener will feature a sidewalk sale up and down Main Street from 3 to 8 p.m.. The final concert of 2010 will be on Saturday Oct 9 at 4 p.m.
“These summer concerts are fun, and we encourage the public to attend” said Seal Beach Mayor David Sloan. Because of the very positive response from the community, the chamber expanded the band lineup this year, bringing a total of TEN concerts to Seal Beach, promising rockin’ entertainment each week all the way up to Labor Day and then a huge finale on October 9 with the Sin Twins. The 10th concert will coincide with Seal Beach’s Founder Day, which is a celebration of Seal Beach’s 95th birthday. The concerts will also feature a “Vendor Village” from 2:00 to 8:00 on each of the concert dates. Each week will be a great and fun environment for attendees of all ages.
“These summer outdoor concerts give us a great opportunity to get together as a community while celebrating summer and the outdoor lifestyle we enjoy in Seal Beach and the surrounding communities,” said George Banker. “The concerts were incredibly popular the last 2 years – I saw people putting out beach blankets and lawn chairs early in the morning to save a seat for family and friends.”
The concerts are offered FREE to the community, thanks to the support of the major concert sponsors Jim Klisanin of Baytown Realty and Alan Brawer of Verizon FIOS.
“As a local business owner, I think the summer concert series is a great way for local businesses to give back to the community and also have the community come together for a great summer celebration each Wednesday night,” said Eric Lenahan, “As a local resident, my family and I look forward to these summer concerts and look forward to seeing all the families in town enjoying the great bands that will be playing.”
Fast becoming a favorite summer tradition, the concert series draws everyone from groups of friends and neighbors to families with young children, all who gather up beach blankets to enjoy some sweet tunes and a picnic dinner under blue summer skies.
“We have surfed, swam and enjoyed Seal Beach since the early 1960’s and feel a special kinship with the town and its people” said longtime Seal Beach resident Roger Douglas of the Elm Street Band. “The Summer Concert Series is a continuation of our relationship with Seal Beach. A good time will be had by all.”
“I really look forward to our Seal Beach Summer Concerts each year as a way to celebrate the beginning of summer. There are beautiful sunsets by the pier and a great time to see family and friends,” proclaimed January Eilers. “There is wonderful food and great shopping readily accessible on Main Street. I am so excited for 10 concerts in 2010! See you at the beach.” With an eclectic mix of many musical styles, the Chamber Concert Series offers something for everyone:
July 7 – Sligo Rags A popular mix of contemporary and traditional Irish and folk themed music.
July 14 – Hollywood U2: non-stop energy and an endless stream of hits from “With Or Without You” to “Vertigo” pay the ultimate tribute to the greatest Rock and Roll band of its generation.

Old Seal Beach Warrior Remembers 1945
May 24, 2010 by Wilm
Filed under Local News
Gordon Logan was bitterly cold that January night 65 years ago.
In addition to the temperature the 19 year old was also more than a little apprehensive the there were no clouds beneath the plane. This would certainly make them a better target for the ‘88s’ …. the ack-ack (Anti-Aircraft) guns of the German Army.
His RCAF Halifax bomber was carrying 16 five hundred pound bombs that they successfully dropped on Ludwigshaven, Germany that night. The German Army had just suffered a tremendous defeat at the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes forest of Belgium. Hitler’s Army may have been reeling but his air defenses were still formidable.
Logan looked back on that evening in a conversation with me last week. “It was a ‘good bombing’ by that I mean ‘successful.’ No bombing is really good when civilians are killed but that raid was one I will never forget. There were hundreds of searchlights and we felt like every German gunner was looking just at our plane. Flak was everywhere. Hundreds of pieces of burning metal going all over the sky. On that mission our Halifax had some holes in the skin. Many of our missions were ‘fair dinkem ‘ but not Ludwigshaven” he said. (Note “fair dinkem” loosely translates into “piece of cake”)
Logan, a resident of Seal Beach (College Park – East) for 40 years, was 18 years old when he went to the recruitment office in Chicago to enlist. After a brief conversation the recruiting sergeant told him he couldn’t enlist without a lot more paperwork because he wasn’t an American.
Gordon didn’t know he wasn’t an American. His family had moved to Chicago from Canada when he was a youngster. Rather than go through the rigmarole of collecting all the required paperwork he decided to go to Canada with a friend and enlist there. One problem was the $5 bus fare. He was a little short. His Dad asked how much more he needed. “Four dollars” was his answer. Pop reached in his pocket loaned him the four dollars which was promptly paid when Gordie returned to Chicago in 1946. (Gordie didn’t know he was an “illegal alien.”)
In Canada he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and went to Gunnery School and then shipped out to England. His crew was together for the entire duration of the war. 28 missions. Hanover, Hanau, Sarrbrucken, Stuttgart, Mainz, Essen, Berlin.
Logan flew on Lancasters, Halifaxs and Mosquito bombers. His favorite was the wooden Mosquito, a wooden plane that was one of the fastest bombers of the war. Normally the Mosquito’s went to the target early, in a sort of “pathfinder” group that dropped incendiary bombs to light the target. (To view video of Mosquito click here.)
On one Mosquito mission, April 9, 1945, 300 of the planes went to Kiel Bay, Germany to bomb the sub-pens. An added prize was the pocket battleship the Admiral Scheer. (Similar to the “Bismarck) The Scheer was by far the most successful German capital ship of the war and it fell to the RAF and the RCAF that day.
When I asked why he preferred the Mosquito…..I could tell by his glance I’d asked a really dumb question. “Because we got back to base a few hours earlier and that gave us more time at the Pubs!”
Gordie told me that he really didn’t mind the de-briefings that many of the flight crews complained about. “As soon as we were debriefed we were given our ration of rum, about two ounces. I was a youngster and two ounces was enough to quickly make me mellow. We’d leave the de-briefings, jump on our bicycles and ride of to the pub. “I was a pretty fair athlete in those days and could play the pub-games pretty well. I usually won enough to pay for my pints. I can tell you that the next mornings we’d look at those bikes and there was many a front wheel that was no longer round.”
On May 8, 1945 his notes say “Cessation of Hostilities.” His next three missions May, 8, 9 and 10, were his best of the war. Each flight returned 24 released prisoners of war and they were rushed to hospitals in England. In all Gordon had 456 hours in the air.
Gordon said that everyman in their crew believed that Captain Moffat, their pilot, was the best commander any crew could have had. His only question, not really a complaint, was that Captain Moffat got the Distinguished Flying Cross and since all the members of the crew went to the same places and faced the same dangers he always wondered why the whole crew didn’t get a DFC?
The rest is history. Gordon returned to Chicago and married his high school sweetheart Shirley in 1946. They moved to California and Logan retired from Metropolitan Life. This year the Logans celebrate their 63rd anniversary and 40 of those years were in Seal Beach, with there two sons and two daughters and their grandchildren. They are truly a wonderful family.
Seal Beach can be happy that the flak over Ludwigshaven missed our friend and neighbor, Gordon Logan. We’d have never heard about his gambling successes in the English pubs.
(IF YOU KNOW OF A LOCAL VETERAN WITH A STORY TO TELL – – WE WANT TO PRINT IT HERE!)

“Best Restored Beach” Award to S.B. for 2010
Comments Off on “Best Restored Beach” Award to S.B. for 2010
A press conference will be held today, May 24th, at 2 p.m. in Eisenhower Park adjacent to the pier. Seal Beach is one of only 4 cities nation-wide to receive this award by the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association.
The Seal Beach project involved nourishing a popular but eroding beach east of its pier using 74,000 cubic yards of offshore dredged material and was funded by the City of Seal Beach at a total cost of $1,182,000. This beach provides a resource to millions of people in a high-density population area on the border of Orange and Los Angeles counties. Such investment in their coastal resource allows the city the flexibility to better manage the sand within their compartmentalized shoreline over time. The widened beach offers improved storm wave protection to shorefront residences and has increased the recreational beachfront.
“When we first started this process, we knew we wanted to be good stewards of the beach, and we identified several objectives of our efforts. Some key partners helped make this project a big success” said Seal Beach Mayor Pro Tem Michael Levitt, speaking for the City Council. “We feel we have laid the groundwork for future actions to protect one of our most precious assets, the beach. We’re humbled to have these efforts recognized by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association”.
“This is a clear case of many hands make light work. We greatly appreciate the efforts of our fine City Manager and his staff, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and especially the efforts of Mr. Kim Sterrett of the State of California Department of Boating and Waterways.” said City Council member Charles Antos.
Seal Beach City Manager David Carmany added, “Seal Beach is one of the nicest beaches in California, so restoring and keeping the beach in good order is a big part of the job description for our Public Works Department. And it’s obvious that this was a truly a labor of love for our consultant engineer Moffatt and Nichol. There’s no better firm in this arena.” The effort played a significant role in mitigating flood damage as a result of the recent El Nino pattern which saw high tide and wave run up at East Seal Beach.
Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce is working to bring more special events to the City’s beaches and its President, Seth Eaker, feels strongly about the beach project: “Our beach represents one of the strongest draws for our Main Street business corridor. It brings families, special events and visitors from not only our region, but all over the world to our city. It is one of the best kept secrets in coastal California, and the re-nourishment of the beach benefits all of us through improved access, a better visitor experience and a desire to revisit and spend in our community.”
For the Seal Beach project, a high level of cooperation between local, state and federal governments allowed an unconventional contracting process to succeed within a tight timeframe and budget. Dredging was conducted by Manson Construction as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Stage 12 Surfside/Sunset project which is a Federal and State funded project. The Department of Boating and Waterways was also instrumental in the project’s launch. The Department of Boating and Waterways provides safe and convenient public access to California’s waterways and leadership in promoting the public’s right to safe, enjoyable, and environmentally sound recreational boating. For more information about the Department, please visit http://www.dbw.ca.gov/
Permit procurement, final engineering and construction support services for the project were provided by Moffatt & Nichol, a local firm with a long association with the city of Seal Beach. In 1983, after a season of extremely heavy storms, the city contracted Moffatt & Nichol to conduct a sediment budget analysis that found the loss of beach material from East Beach to be between 4,200 and 7,800 cubic yards a year. For more information about the firm, please visit: www.moffattnichol.com .
The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) was founded in 1926, the ASBPA promotes the integration of science, policies and actions that maintain, protect and enhance the coasts of America. For more information on ASBPA, please visit http://www.asbpa.org/

Another Coyote Attack Saturday A.M.

Comments Off on Another Coyote Attack Saturday A.M.
The following note from City Mgr Dave Carmany’s office.
“The beautiful College Park West neighborhood in Seal Beach has been having ongoing conflicts with coyotes, especially in the rear yards of homes that back up to Edison Park. This morning, May 22nd, a resident reported yet another incident and saved his dog from a coyote in his backyard.
“The city recognizes that this is a serious problem, and is taking steps to address it. A neighborhood meeting was held on May 1st; approximately 40 residents attended to express their concerns. Since that meeting, City volunteers have distributed educational flyers to all 322 homes in the neighborhood and also posted warning signs on every street light pole. The city put up a banner at the entrance to the tract (see attached picture) to alert residents.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, by making life for coyotes in your neighborhood more difficult, you will increase the likelihood that they will go somewhere else. Any Seal Beach resident observing a coyote in the neighborhood is encouraged to phone the Animal Services Department at (562) 570-7387 to report the sighting or encounter.

New textbooks for Texas…but not for California?
Comments Off on New textbooks for Texas…but not for California?
The School Board of the state of Texas adopted a “new” curriculum last week for social studies and history in its schoolbooks.
It “weakens” or changes, (depending on your political leaning) the history most know of slavery, civil rights struggles in ’60’s and U.S. relationship and involvement with the United Nations as well as hundreds of other items. The changes were brought about with a conservative stamp of approval and hailed by Republicans throughout the state of Texas. This new take on education will be used to teach 5 million Texas students for the next 10 years.
Of course Texas should be allowed to teach in any manner they it chooses and with that many students they will have no trouble finding a publisher, however, what is of great significance to other states is that textbook printers sometimes use books designed for Texas in other states.
In California, State Senator Leland Yee has introduced legislation ( SB1451) to protect the largest school system in the United States (California) from using books containing the “revised studies” adopted in Texas. Critics say the changes are historically inaccurate and minimize the efforts of minority contributions to U.S. hisotry.

What say you about the old power-plant land?
May 22, 2010 by Wilm
Filed under Green Issues, Local News, Real Estate
Comments Off on What say you about the old power-plant land?
The Bay City Partners, owners of the 10 acres near Ocean and First, have submitted a “new plan” for development.
To “What’s Up In Seal Beach” …. it looks pretty much the same as the old one. Still a 70%-30% split…not the 75%-25% that was cast in stone several years ago by the city. Still taking much of the land along the river for homesites. Still offering to drop their litigation against the city if the new plan is accepted.
To many of the residents of Old Town the new plan is not new at all. They see their years of struggle to protect that land from over-development and to protect as much public access as possible for our citizens and visitors in jeopardy.
Several of our city councils over the years have adjusted the building restrictions on the 10 acre parcel in an effort to be fair to any potential developers and still protect the neighborhood. When the present owners bought the land they were well aware of the last, and hopefully final, use restrictions. Nothing was hidden in the purchase that we know of…and if it was perhaps they should talk to the seller.
To come and plead for additional waterfront exposure for their development many years after the fact hopefully will fall on deaf ears. A “few more homes” translates into “many more dollars” and also “a life time of lost access.”
The only reason the land is not a complete bluff park is that the city couldn’t afford to buy it. To many it is a heartache that anything will be built on that beautiful piece of land.
If we take a look at our neighbor to the south, Huntington Beach, and see what they were promised by the developer of the Bolsa Chica Mesa and what they got we can understand why so many Seal Beach residents are against any change in the existing planned land use of that parcel.
We urge you all to call and/or write to our council and Mayor and tell them exactly how you feel ..and be sure to tell them where you live!
