If you want the warranty to include subterraneans, be sure to ask the pest company about this and negotiate with them to include this coverage as subterranean infestation is almost as common as dry wood termites, in terms of what I see on pest inspection reports (one passes my desk almost daily). 2. When selling your home, you may get a termite inspection. If a “section 1 clearance” is negotiated, (a certification stating your home is free of wood destroying pests), keep in mind that this section 1 clearance includes not only drywood termites, but also subterraneans as well as any wood-rot (fungus from moisture is also considered a wood-destroying pest). Even if you have a contract, most companies will charge you for the inspection report (usually about $75-$120) and is not included in the maintenance contract. ese contracts also usually don’t cover subterranean termites as already discussed but it also does not include any dry-rot or any wood repairs that are oſten necessary. 3.

I see this happen time and again and while sometimes it may be true that this is evidence of the previous infestation, it is technically impossible for the pest inspector to tell. I always suggest having the pest company inspect, cover up (again) any old droppings, and schedule them to come out about 90 days later to verify whether there are new droppings or not.

What’s The Deal With TERMITES & PEST MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS??

Termites exist year round here in San Diego. Although you may have had your home fumigated or even

received a “termite clearance” when you closed escrow a couple years ago, those darned termites could have come back. In addition to the dry wood termites, there are subterranean termites that come from a different source, so basically you are never free of the risk of termites.

Many homeowners purchase a pest maintenance contract specific to termite infestation. Lots of companies sell these annual contracts and while they may give you peace of mind, there are a few items to be aware of:

1. These contracts will typically guarantee that your home be maintained as free of wood destroying termites, but not usually subterranean termites. If you want the warranty to include subterraneans, be sure to ask the pest company about this and negotiate with them to include this coverage as subterranean infestation is almost as common as dry wood termites, in terms of what I see on pest inspection reports (one passes my desk almost daily).

2. When selling your home, you may get a termite inspection. If a “section 1 clearance” is negotiated, (a certification stating your home is free of wood destroying pests), keep in mind that this section 1 clearance includes not only drywood termites, but also subterraneans as well as any wood-rot (fungus from moisture is also considered a wood-destroying pest). Even if you have a contract, most companies will charge you for the inspection report (usually about $75-$120) and is not included in the maintenance contract. These contracts also usually don’t cover subterranean termites as already discussed but it also does not include any dry-rot or any wood repairs that are often necessary.

3. What if you have an annual maintenance contract and you find dry wood termites, which ARE included in the coverage? This is where you have to be aware of how to work with the termite companies. When you get your initial termite clearance and/or just have the house fumigated as standard maintenance, be sure to check that the pest company took proper protocol to remove or cover any old termite droppings once the pests have been killed.

CITY4| JULY 2016 | MID CITY NEWSPAPER GROUP

As part of his effort to make city governmentmore efficient and accessible for all San Diegoresidents, Mayor Kevin Faulconer introducedan innovative pilot project and mobile appcalled Get It Done San Diego that allows SanDiegans to easily report problems and requestimprovements for their neighborhoods.

“Our city government should be just as inno-vative as people we serve and it has always beenour goal to improve customer service. If wehave mobile apps that can check email, checkthe weather and check in our flights, we shouldhave a mobile app that helps residents checkon street repairs,” said Faulconer.

With Get It Done, which is available foriPhone and Android users, people can reportnonemergency problems to the city throughthe new mobile app and web portal atwww.sandiego.gov. The Get It Done app alsoallows San Diego residents to track the progressof a complaint and increase efficiency for bothresidents and City crews.

To report a problem, people can now takeand upload photos related to over 20 non-emer-gency problems with roads, street lights, trafficsignals and more. The Get It Done app usesGPS information embedded within photos toautomatically update the address and locationof problems. After uploading the photo, theapp user simply has to identify a few detailsabout the problem and click submit.

The Get It Done app will help improve threeimportant functions of city government:

1. It makes it easier to report problems.According to a recent city survey, 83 percent ofrespondents stated that they did not want tocall the city government to report a problem.The new Get It Done app eliminates the needto call the city for various problems, by allowingresidents to address issues online, which wasthe preferred method of 50 percent of surveyrespondents. The app also allows residents toreport problems with their name or anony-mously.

2. Get It Done allows residents to better trackprogress. The app makes it easier for residentsto find out what is happening with a city projectin their neighborhood. This system allows res-idents to check the status of projects in realtime and view information on their “favorite”issues throughout the city.

3. Get It Done increases efficiency for resi-dents and city workers. The app allows users toupload a picture which contains location datausing GPS. This allows the city to process infor-mation much faster because it links the user toCity crews. Similar to the way most privatebusinesses run, the app uses a Customer Rela-tionship Management (CRM) software systemthat directly links reports to a work order sys-tem. The systems connects all reports aboutthe same problem into one group and createsa single report so that every individual is noti-fied about the progress of an issue.

Accion, a nonprofit microlen-der with a 21-year history in SanDiego, has received a $250,000investment from Pacific WesternBank. The funds provided byPacific Western Bank were dis-bursed to Accion in late 2015 andwere approved as a qualifiedinvestment by the CaliforniaOrganized Investment NetworkTax Credit Program from the Cal-ifornia Department of Insur-ance.

Accion will lend the investmentdollars, which were provided atzero percent interest over a five-year term, to underserved smallbusiness owners in Southern Cal-ifornia, increasing these businessowners’ access to capital.

“Our mission is to providebusinesses with access to capitaland the support they need to startor grow their businesses, servingas a true partner in enabling themto create powerful positive socialand economic change,” saidAccion CEO Elizabeth Schott.“These funds will be essential insupporting our clients thatwouldn’t otherwise be able to getthe much-needed funding fortheir business.”

Pacific Western also provideda $15,000 grant to Accion. Thefunds will help Accion deploy theinvestment dollars, directly tounderserved business ownersacross Southern California.

This fund has been used to helpborrowers like Lisa Carroll. Lisabegan working as an accountantnearly 20 years ago after receivingan accounting degree. She worked

for some time at a CPA firm, butdecided to start her own businessin 2001 to allow for a flexibleschedule to care for her son. Lisastarted Number Crunching Inc.,a home-based bookkeeping busi-ness providing accounting ser-vices other small business. Cur-rently, Lisa has about 50 clients,and demand is continuing togrow.

In order to serve more clients,Lisa was in need of equipmentupgrades for increased storagecapacity and online security tohandle sensitive client informa-tion. Accion was able to approveLisa for a $10,000 loan for equip-ment upgrades to grow her clien-tele base.

“I was able to receive the capitalI needed to take my business tothe next level,” said Lisa. “Thanksto Accion I was able to hire twosubcontractors, so that I can ser-vice more clients and grow therevenue for my business.”

The tax credit program pro-vides tax credits to investors andhelps CDFIs raise funds for pro-jects that create social and envi-ronmental benefit in California.Without the program, many ofthese community developmentprojects would not be funded.

Each year the Department ofInsurance may award up to $10million in tax credits to support$50 million in capital from insur-ance companies and otherinvestors for community devel-opment. Investors earn a tax cred-it worth 20 percent of their invest-ment.

While Mission Hills is home to anabundance of historic homes in a vari-ety of styles like Craftsman and Mis-sion Revival, the neighborhood canalso boast of homes like the CleaHouse.

Designed, engineered and built byboutique San Diego firm NakhshabDevelopment & Design, the new LEEDGold-certified Clea House, althoughjust minutes from Downtown SanDiego, is set on a serene Mission Hillscanyon slope. This mid-century mod-ern-inspired single-family home com-plements its surroundings and pre-serves the property’s existing terrainwith a seamless cantilever design. Ele-gantly perched on a three-story accesscolumn that encases an elevator, a stair-way and one “bonus” room per floor,the nearly 4,000 square-foot CleaHouse functions primarily as a single-level residence with large, open spacesthat beautifully blend the indoors withthe outdoors.

Architect and NDD principal SoheilNakhshab defied the challenge of theproperty’s steep lot by rising above itwith the use of innovative engineeringand architecture that he says enable thehouse to appear to “float over theslope.” The home’s unique concretestructure, simple lines and minimalistapproach all lend to its distinctivemodern aesthetic.

Upon entering the home, residentshave the choice of ascending the stair-way, taking the elevator to the mainfloor or stopping at any of three mul-tiple-use “bonus rooms,” each completewith full bath and shower. This stackof rooms adds to the versatile appealof Clea House while underscoring itsability to serve a multi-generationalfamily and provide residents the abilityto age-in-place. The bonus rooms canfunction as a variety of auxiliary spacessuch as a home office accessible toclients without having to enter themain living area, yoga studio, hometheater, music room or extra bed-rooms.

An elevator allows direct-access tothe home’s primary living areas, creat-ing greater accessibility to its elderlyresidents. The main floor offers anabundance of light and space andincludes a large entertaining room forboth family and guests, and is a focalpoint for panoramic views out a frontwall of windows that spans almost theentire length of the home. Sleek teakcabinetry surrounds a seven-foot longcustom metal crafted fireplace provid-ing generous storage and addedwarmth to the living room. The samecabinetry is employed in the adjoiningkitchen and cleverly implemented toconceal most of the appliances, creatingcontinuity between the two spaces andadding to the home's minimalist aes-thetic. A massive Carrara marble islandprovides a large workspace and an ele-gant and inviting bridge between the

kitchen, living room and dining room.The backside of Clea House spills

out onto a large patio nestled into thehillside through another glass wall, thistime a 20-foot wide Fleetwood slidingglass door that tucks away into thewalls when open. Stairs from the patiolead up to a large rooftop deck onwhich residents enjoy the beautiful SanDiego climate and peaceful canyon set-ting. An array of 25 discreet solar pan-els are cleverly integrated into therooftop design to provide an annual11,200 kWh of power. “We receivemore solar credits than we use so ourelectric bill is non-existent,” says Soheil.Below, a rooftop garden on the garageprovides added visual interest and con-tinues the natural landscape of thecanyon through the property.

The second half of the main floor iscomposed of three one-bedroom suitessituated around a separate and moreintimate gathering room. As elsewherein Clea House, the details impress: flushdoors with hidden frames, elegant fix-tures and finishes, and bathrooms withmotion sensors to light middle-nightvisits. Instead of bathtubs, Nakhshabdecided to build oversized showers, andthe one in the master bath features animpressive 10-foot wide enclosure thatincludes his and her dual showers onboth sides.

In line with the NDD's green designphilosophy, sustainable measures areused throughout the home to the stan-dard of LEED Gold including droughttolerant landscaping, nontoxic pestcontrol, water efficient fixtures and fit-tings, high efficiency LED lighting,Energy Star appliances, solar PV, andenvironmentally preferable products.This NDD signature home offers theminimalist but luxurious and sustain-able design for which the firm's teamis famous.

The Clea House is at 540 OtsegoDrive.

Fortuna, best knownas frontman for the Radiohead tribute act Karma Police and guitaristin Oasis tribute Foasis, has racked up extensive medical bills in hisrecovery, but hopefully this concert, featuring Strange Love (DepecheMode), The Cured (The Cure), Light My Fire (The Doors) and morewill help defray expenses. This is a wonderful opportunity to do agood deed and take in a great night of music at the same time. www.musicboxsd.com

July 29Popular Kneehighs Keep the Albums ComingRock influenced hip hoppers The Kneehighs host a CD release showfor their latest album, “We Put The Fun In Dysfunction,” at the Cas-bah on July 29. The bar was set high by their previous effort, “Riseand Shine,” which took home the 2007 San Diego Music Award for“Best Hip Hop Album.” But “WPTFID” is another winner, full ofgreat hard groove-edged tracks such as “I Swear I’m Never DrinkingAgain” and soul tinged “Future Speak.” Both are standouts amid thedozen tracks here —clear indicators of why, after more than a decadeperforming in the area, the Kneehighs remain one of San Diego’smost popular bands. www.casbahmusic.com

August 14A Rare Appearance by Rhett MillerFormer Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller performs at the Soda Baron Aug. 14. One of the most respected singer-songwriters of thepast 20 years, Miller normally plays much bigger venues than this,making it a mandatory show for any of his legion of fans. His mostrecent album, “The Traveler,” continues Miller’s fine tradition ofAmericana, but whatever he ends up playing at this intimate concertwill thrill anyone lucky enough to be in attendance.www.sodabarmusic.com

Pershing Drive Bikeway Endorsed by North ParkPlanning Committee

North Park motorists who relyon Pershing Drive for access toInterstate 5 and Downtown mayhave to find alternate routes whena new bikeway takes up half of themajor artery, reducing the currentfour lanes of traffic to two.

The 2.6-mile Pershing Bikeway,a San Diego Association of Govern-ments (SANDAG) project, wasendorsed 10-1 by the North ParkPlanning Committee at its June 21meeting. The vote helps clear theway for the project to begin con-struction as scheduled in fall 2018.

Part of SANDAG’s $200 million“San Diego Regional Bike Plan” ini-tiative, the Pershing Bikeway willbegin at Utah and Landis Streets,run down Utah to Upas Street, andtravel east on Upas to PershingDrive. The bikeway will continuedown the length of Pershingthrough the Florida/26th intersec-tion to connect with B and C streetsjust past the Interstate 5 entranceramps.

In his presentation at the meet-ing, Chris Carterette, SANDAG’sactive transportation planner, saidthat Pershing Drive “has a lot ofexcess capacity to utilize” andadded, “The combination of lanereductions and lower speed limitswill improve safety for all roadwayusers without significant changes inroadway operations.”

SANDAG intends to replace thecurrent two lanes of Pershing’snorthbound traffic with twobuffered bike lanes going in eitherdirection and a designated pedes-trian walkway. The current twolanes of southbound traffic will bedivided into two one-way car lanesseparated by a yellow line and aprotected southbound bike lane.

The extra lane for bicyclists, saidCarterette, will allow them “to goall the way from C Street to Upaswith hardly any conflicts or cross-ings. ... We’re proposing thebuffered bike lane because there willcontinue to be people riding thatwill want to go down the hill veryfast.”

At the critical intersection of Per-shing and Redwood, SANDAG isplanning to construct a new traffic

roundabout just south of a newpedestrian crosswalk spanning theartery. Such features “will provideclues to people driving to help themdrive more calmly,” he said.

Addressing concerns that astalled car could block an entirelane of traffic, Carterette said,“There is plenty of room for a vehi-cle to break down and still havetraffic move around it. The bikelane also could be used as an emer-gency stopping lane.” Putting a bar-rier between the two lanes ofopposing traffic to prevent head-on collisions is inadvisable, he said,because “with a 35 mile-per-hourspeed limit, that shouldn’t be nec-essary, and having a barrier wouldencourage people to drive morequickly.”

As for the logjam of southboundcars headed for the freeway andDowntown each weekday morning,SANDAG spokesperson DavidHicks explained in a subsequentemail that “traffic studies for Per-shing Drive determined that thereis excess roadway capacity toaccommodate a lane reduction insome areas. The key design featurethat maintains the existing func-tionality of Pershing Drive is theretention of four travel lanes at theintersection with Florida Drive and26th Street. This will allow morningtraffic to queue up the same way itcurrently does.”

The SANDAG presentation didnot address how the new PershingBikeway will affect traffic enteringand exiting the Naval Medical Cen-ter through the Florida-Pershingintersection, and it was not clear ifthe agency has been discussing its

plans with the U.S. Navy.The majority of the 30-plus

attendees at the NPPC meetingwere bicycle enthusiasts who spokeglowingly of the project, as didNPPC Chair Vicki Granowitz, whopraised SANDAG’s civic leadership,saying “This is something we askedthe city to do, and the city refusedto do it.”

Public commenters who sup-ported the project cited its positiveimpact on bicycling safety and airquality. Addressing the physicalchallenge of climbing Pershing’snotoriously steep grade, one sup-porter envisioned that more com-muters will opt for bicycles withelectric motors.

The only commenter who spokein opposition warned that popula-tion spikes resulting from planneddensification will swell vehicular

traffic on Pershing and lengthen thecommutes of North Park residentswho are forced to drive.

Granowitz noted that “over-whelmingly, the public input hasbeen to support this project,” citingdata that included “17 emails insupport ... and a Facebook post insupport that got 16 likes.” She con-cluded by framing the debate as alifestyle difference between agecohorts. “I know that people areafraid of change ... [but] this gen-eration of millennials don’t use carsthe way people of my generationdid,” she said. “So I would ask peo-ple to try to support innovation andvision.”

IPA, Stout, Pilsner, Lager, hops, and bitter are just a few beer terms you will hear tossed around the local bars of San Diego. With San Diego County becoming such a hot bed for craft beer drinkers,

some people may be intimidated by such lingo. Brewmaster Ryan Brooks from Coronado Brewing Company has some tips on finding the ideal beer style for you.

For many of us, the first style of beer we drink is of the lighter variety including Bud Light, Miller Lite, Coors Light, and Mexican Lagers such as Corona, Pacifico, Tecate. These lighter beers were important to my pallet training. There is nothing wrong with a mass produced lighter beer. This is an important step for new beer drinkers in learning what styles your pallet prefers.

The next step for the new craft beer drinker would be to experiment with all-malt versions of Lagers such as: Kirin, Kona Longboard, and Full Sail Session. All of these beers come from 100% malted barley and skip out on the corn, rice or sugar adjuncts that make a beer lighter in flavor and cheaper. This will help you understand some of the different tastes that beer styles have.

One of the good things about craft beer is that you can buy the beer in single bottles, most likely in a 22-ounce bottle. Start off with a familiar style, lager,

pilsner, maybe even pale ale. Trying all the different styles of beer in a smaller portion will help you understand what your pallet can handle.

One of my favorite things to hear from a novice beer drinker is the brutal honesty of their tasting notes. I distinctly remember quotes of “it tastes like wet crackers” or “it smells like how a clear gummy bear tastes.” These are the best real tasting notes. Too many times beer drinkers get that wine snobbiness about them and use generic tasting words that are overused. I’m a fan of honest tasting.

You love it or you hate it. There is no right or wrong answer, if you taste it, that flavor is there for you. Over time you will be able to pick up subtleties that in the beginning get over looked due to a flavor overload from more malt than usual or an increased in bitterness, hop aroma. I encourage all beer drinkers to not always write off a style or brand because of a bad experience. Our pallets are always changing and what you hated at one point can become your new favorite. Take a chance and be open-minded. But most of all enjoy a beer.

There is no reason to be intimidated by craft beer. One of the great things about craft beer is that there are so many different styles to choose from; it’s almost impossible not to find one that you enjoy.

About Ryan Brooks: Ryan Brooks began home brewing in 2008 and quickly became involved in the local craft beer scene. His first brewing job came a year later when he started to work for Black Market Brewing in Temecula. Brooks’ next opportunity came at a brewery all the way around the world. In 2011, Malt Shovel Brewing in Sydney, Australia offered him a position to brew with them. After his year in Australia, Brooks returned to Black Market and earned the title of Head Brewer. Coronado Brewing came calling in 2012 and named Brooks their new Brewmaster, and he has brewing for them ever since. Recently, Brooks achieved one of the most prestigious awards in the brewing industry, World Beer Cup Champions for mid-sized brewery and Brewmaster for Coronado.

San Diego is becoming NorthAmerica’s bicycling capital, whereannual revenues from wholesale andretail sectors of the bicycling indus-try top $547 million, according to areport by San Diego Sport Innova-tors.

In the wholesale cycling and relat-ed manufacturing, there are cur-rently more than 50 companies withannual revenues of $97.4 million,according to the report. The retailsector — bikes and related cyclinggear — total $220 million per yeargenerated by 227 independent bicy-cle dealers, with those IBDs employ-ing an estimated 1,226 workers.Other bike-related retail activitytotals $230 million with $56 millionin retail salaries and wages.

The report also focused on SanDiego’s Cycling Consumer. One-third of San Diego County residentsor 1.1 million people currently par-ticipate in cycling. That’s a cyclingpopulation that exceeds the entirepopulation of top cycling cities likeAustin, Texas (885,400), Portland,Ore. (609,500) and Boulder, Colo.(102,200). Additionally, 37 percentof San Diego cyclists or 470,000identify themselves as“frequent/avid” cyclists; San Diegocyclists are 29 percent more likelyto purchase a new bike in the nextyear than U.S. cyclists overall; andSan Diego has experienced an 84percent increase in the number ofbicycle commuters since 2000.

The report pointed to San Diegodemographics that support bothcycling participation and industrygrowth. San Diego’s median house-hold and per capita income is$63,996 and $31,043, respectively,versus the U.S. totals of $53,482 and$28,555. An important statistic tocycling growth is that San Diego’s18-34 age group totals 27.4 percentof the population or No. 1 in thecountry.

San Diego continues to be a pio-neering leader nationally with anemphasis on high-performance fit-ness; leading engineering of highperformance machines; the birth-place and hotbed of Triathlon train-ing; and a political will to get thepopulation out of cars and ontobicycles, the report states. As of2015, it said, San Diego County hasapproximately 1,340 miles of bike-way facilities, with the city of SanDiego planning to more than dou-ble that number by 2030.

“This is an ambitious endeavor

to better share the wonders ofAustralian photography with thepublic,” MOPA Executive DirectorDeborah Klochko said. “We’re notlooking to re-create or redefine it.We want to showcase it, whilelearning more about the phenom-enal work being done.”

Sydney photography collectorand dealer Josef Lebovic donatedthe photo books and supportedPeter and Olivia Farrell in theirdecision to gift their representa-tive collection of Australian pho-tography to MOPA. In addition,the donation will establish an

acquisition fund for the ongoingpurchase of contemporary Aus-tralian photography.

A range of artists are represent-ed in the collection from early20th century icons, such as MaxDupain, David Moore and OliveCotton, to more recent work of

internationally known photogra-phers like Tracey Moffat and BillHenson. Henson’s photographUntitled #20 (LMO SH177 N2A)is the first piece from the newacquisition to be included in anexhibition at MOPA. “DefyingDarkness: Photography at Night”is on display through Oct. 2.

The upcoming 2018 exhibitionand accompanying photo bookwill be one of the major projectsMerry Foresta will undertake asMOPA’s first curator-at-large.

Foresta said she is interested inwhat kind of voice this work adds

to a global conversation aboutcontemporary photography.

“Historically, institutions inAustralia have energetically creat-ed a context for the understand-ing and appreciation of photog-raphy,” Foresta said. “We will havean opportunity to see the broadrange of work offered by Aus-tralian artists. With its strongemphasis on engagement withnew artists and audiences, MOPAoffers an opportunity to experi-ence new art and big ideas.”
