GREAT old photos of Seal Beach from Founder’s Day
Wow…and Wow again!
The Seal Beach Founder’s Day website is fantastic. As is the blog of Michael Dobkins! It includes a group of old photographs,silent movies of the Pacific & Electric Red Car Service training film. (“Hey conductor help all the ladies…not just the pretty ones!”) and tons of old photos of the beginning of our town.
Mike Dobkins has the most extensive collection of Seal Beach photos that Libby Applegate, one of the people who created Founder’s Day said she’d ever seen. Dobkins is also on the publicity committee for the upcoming 95th Birthday celebration (Oct 10, 2010)
Today’s post answers the question, “what do The Beatles, the Memphis Belle B-17 Flying Fortress, and Clancy’s Saloon have in common?”
Go to http://sbfoundersday.wordpress.com/author/sbfoundersday/ or http://sbfoundersday.wordpress.com/
You will see tags for 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, Clancy’s Saloon, Mamie’s, Seal Beach, Seal Beach Pharmacy and much, much more.
This blog is a link from the founder’s website (built by Alison Cotter a member of the publicity committee.) More people are following Mike’s blog because he has up to date information for Seal Beach Founder’s Day. They are alsoon on Facebook and Twitter.
They are presenting a slide show at the Marina Community Center on Wednesday evening, October 27, 7:30 – 9:30 PM. Admission is FREE
Since last Friday, the site has posted two images of the Seal Beach Pharmacy that once occupied the current storefront of Clancy’s Saloon at 111 Main Street. While researching for a future post, Libby Applegate stumbled across a matchbook cover for another business that once ran at the same location. If you were in the mood for better bar-b-q, cocktails, and shuffleboard, Mamie’s was the place to go in the late forties and early fifties.
What is interesting about this matchbook cover is the illustration of the buxom babe preparing to go fishing by charmingly asking us if we’ll bait her hook. The signature reads “PETTY,” who was George Petty, a well-known cheesecake artist working in the Albert Vargas style. He did a series of pin-ups called “The Petty Girls” for Esquire magazine from 1933-1956. His glamorous gals were reproduced extensively as nose art on American World War II airplanes, including the famous “Memphis Belle” that was featured in a wartime documentary and feature film. You can find an image of a Petty Girl in the crowd on the album cover for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. And between 1948 and 1951, George Petty drew five sets of girlie matchbook covers for the Monarch Match Company in San Jose to be used on business matchbooks across the country, including Seal Beach’s very own Mamie’s.
One of the fascinating things about local history is how even minor ephemera like a matchbook cover can lead you far away from your original subject.
To learn more about George Petty, visit The Pin-Up Files or view more samples of his artwork at the American Art Archives.
Be sure to check back each week for more historical photos and stories of Seal Beach.

LIBRARY SERVICES DEPARTMENT- 2010 Summer Reading Program Wrap-Up
The Huntington Beach Library held three very successful Summer Reading Programs this year. The general theme was “water” and the children’s library really made a splash this summer with their fun program, “Make a Splash: Read!” An amazing 4,964 children signed up this year. More than 840 people attended the final two concerts on August 13 featuring Dave Kinnoin. Once again, the show was held in Central Park on the bandstand stage, which provided more space and shade to the excited crowd. Huntington Beach teen patrons, aged 12-18, made some real waves with their program: “Make Waves at Your Library.” A record 445 teens signed up for the program and completed 1,268 hours of reading! Components of the program included a “Bingo Card”, a “Pirate Pizza Party”, and prizes like an annual beach pass. The Adult program “Water your Mind: Read”, registered 711 participants who completed 3,100 entries for the prize basket drawings – which means they read that many books! An impressive 35 book reviews were submitted. No doubt, as the summer winds down, the library’s readers will continue to excel into the fall!
PLANNING & BUILDING DEPARTMENT-Poseidon Update-The final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR) for the Poseidon Desalination facility has been posted to the Planning and Building Department website at http://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/Government/Departments/Planning/major/poseidon.cfm.

The project is located on Slater Avenue between Beach Boulevard and Newland Street. Improvements include replacement of existing pavement; limited concrete work to replace curb and gutter, sidewalk, curb access ramps, and cross gutters, installation of tree wells, and landscaping. Staff has been coordinating this work with Lake View Elementary School staff in order to minimize impacts on the school during construction. In addition, the contractor has been working six days a week to complete the project before the first day of school. Although the project will be substantially completed by September 8, the final paving of the street surface will remain and is scheduled for Saturday, September 11 to minimize major construction during school hours. Student safety is top priority and staff will continue working with the contractor to assure that the construction zone is safe and free of any obstructions.
Charles Antos says “Goodbye” to District One in November
Comments Off on Charles Antos says “Goodbye” to District One in November
With the upcoming election, when popular Council Member Charles Antos is not able to run since he’s just completed his second four year term, his supporters will be looking for his guidance in picking a successor.
Its fitting that there are four candidates vying for his District One seat. District One encompasses Old Town and Surfside and rest assured that there are private interests at play that would like to have a friend in that District One seat.
There are four people scheduled to challenge for Antos vacated seat: Elley Deaton, Scott Levitt (son of Mike Levitt – District Five Councilman) Robert Aguilar and Joe Kalmick. Most likely there will be a run-off for the Old Town seat since its unlikely that any candidate will get more than 50% of the vote and if that happens there will another election in January.
The other two Council seats to be voted on are: District Three and District Five. District Three encompasses Bridgeport, the Coves, the Hill and Herron Pointe. Gordon Shanks is the present Councilman and Amalia Almasy is the challenger. District Five has portions of Leisure World and Councilman Michael Levitt is being challenged by Anne Seifert.
Hold on to your hats folks…there may some fireworks near election time!

“Taste of Seal Beach” Success Returns for October!
Comments Off on “Taste of Seal Beach” Success Returns for October!
The Seal Beach Founders Day committee launched their once every five years “A Taste of Seal Beach” in conjunction with sixteen local eateries with a new twist.
This year instead of a one-day on site tasting the $20 card ( Only 500!) will be good for the entire month of October…when we celebrate the 95th Anniversary of this great town. When you purchase the card this year you can use it for the entire month and if you decide to go to every participating establishment you will find the use of the card will give you a return that exceeds $160.
This is a win/win for all involved. The program will provide:
1) An excellent value to the buyer and,
2)It will drive new business to the participating restaurants during October, traditionally one of the slowest months of the year and,
3) It will support the 95th Founders Day Committee in its fundraising efforts.
ALL net proceeds from the sales of the cards and other programs will go back to the City of Seal Beach Recreation Department as a gift for future recreation programs.
There will only be 500 cards sold so local Seal Beacher’s should get theirs early. (Remember this year’s car give away for the Fish Fry was won by a fellow in Pennsylvania!) Cards can be purchased at the City of Seal Beach Recreation Department, Chamber of Commerce Office, and at our Founders Day Sales Tent every Saturday and some Sundays from 9-1 at the Pier.

Wiener Nationals A Great Success!
Well they may be little dogs but the Los Alamitos Race Track and the Seal Beach Animal Care Center think they are giants.
Los Al had one of the biggest nights of the year. The crowd was estimated at close to 20,000. (We don’t know the exact tally as we go to press.) These little dogs have the hearts of champions and the people they let live in their houses are well aware of their pooches enthusiasm.
Every dachshund had his or her own gallery.
Some had entire “teams” of supporters with their own tee shirts and uniforms.
Team Pretzel
This may not have been a photo finish in the eyes of the judges…..but every dachshund figured they were in a close race….”just a few more yards and I’ll be there!”
"One more yard and we'd have had him!"
.….and once in a while we noticed a shy guy.
"No way I'm going out there!"
I cannot describe how enthusiastic the crowd was. You can tell by these photo shots that it was impossible to get close to the rail. I’ve been at Los Alamitos race track when they had $100,000 races and didn’t draw as many folks as were there Saturday night. And everyone was smiling…including the dogs.
A great night and hopefully a lot of cash for the Seal Beach Animal Care Center. They do wonderful work. Most are volunbteers and they don’t put any animals to sleep!
Keep next year’s date on your schedule and send $10 this week to the Seal Beach Animal Care Center.
For more information, go to www.sbacc.org – or call the Care Center at 562-430-4993 during our open hours.

FREE Fishing Tournament For Returning Military
Comments Off on FREE Fishing Tournament For Returning Military
The Heroes Tournament put on by the Southern California Tuna Club has always been a wonderful trip for the military and for the Tuna Club members.
It’s a completely FREE deep sea fishing experience for all active and reserve military memebers returning from deployments within the last year.
Because of the success of prior tournaments The Southern California Tuna Club has again extended an invitation to Service Members to go ocean fishing for a day. The trip is all-inclusive (tackle, bait, and lunch), there will be no payment required, except for required fishing licenses. First come first served.
The boats are sportfishers that are privately owned by Tuna Club members. These are not “Day Boats” so there are better accommodations and an all around better fishing experience.
Each Service Member may bring 2 immediate family members or 1 unrelated guest. No exceptions. Guests should be at least 12 years old and in good health. Anglers 16 and older must be licensed to fish. Please purchase a license prior to the trip (approx. $15 for one day).
It is recommended that you bring a variety of clothing as temperatures/conditions vary throughout the day. Sunscreen is a must! Non-marking soled shoes are required to prevent damage to the boats’ decks.
If you’re interested please call or send an email to a POC to make your reservations. Please include your name, rank, contact number, e-mail address, number of guests, and the best time to call as we will be confirming reservations approximately 7 days prior to the event. Last day to register is noon 2 July, 2010.
Reservations are a must as there are a limited number of seats (70 total) on a first come, first served basis.
Pick up time will be at 7 a.m. at the Long Beach Yacht Club. The estimated conclusion time is 1400. The address is 6201 E. Appian Way, Long Beach, CA 90803.

“NEW” Alley for Seal Way
Seal Way Residents have been advised with a construction notification of alley improvements starting next month.
To wit:
Dear Seal Way Residents
The City of Seal Beach announces the Seal Way Alley Reconstruction Project from 11th Street to 14th Street. The project will reconstruct the entire alley and place back concrete pavement.
The project is expected to start on Monday, July 12, 2010 and be completed by Monday, July 19, 2010. Below is the proposed construction schedule:
| MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY | SATURDAY | SUNDAY | MONDAY |
| July 12, 2010 | July 13, 2010 | July 14, 2010 | July 15, 2010 | July 16, 2010 | July 17, 2010 | July 18, 2010 | July 19, 2010 |
| DEMOLITION | GRADING | POUR AND PLACE CONCRETE | CONCRETE CURE | OPEN TO PUBLIC | |||
During this construction window, all alley access and parking including garages will be restricted. The City intends to use a rapid set concrete mixture that will reduce the cure time and allow residents to be back on the alley by Monday, July 19, 2010.
The City realizes this will be an inconvenience and your cooperation will be critical to the safe and successful completion of the project. As part of the project, the City will issue parking passes to each resident for the parking inconvenience. The trash schedule will remain on schedule.
If you have additional questions please contact David Spitz, Project Manager, at (562) 431-2527 ext 1331.
If you have any further questions staff will be hosting a Public Meeting at: 10th Street Parking Lot Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 7:00pm
Respectfully,
Sean P. Crumby – Director of Public Works
