By maureen megoWan / re/max Palos Verdes execs

Marineland of the Pacific, which opened in 1954, for many years provided the primary tourist attraction in Rancho Palos Verdes. the attractions of Marineland included the 320-foot Skytower soaring into the blue ocean-side sky at the parks entrance, the splashy acrobatics of Orky and Corky the killer whales, Bubbles the pilot whale, and snorkeling the curved, faux-rocky recesses of baja Reef amid rainbows of tropical fish. Marineland was only the second oceanarium in the United States when it opened to the public Aug. 28, 1954.

In 1986, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, the publishing giant which then owned Sea World in San Diego, was in the process of rapidly expanding the Sea World enterprise throughout the nation, and was in desperate need of proven, successful breeding pairs of killer whales in order to supply their new Sea World locations with their headline act, Shamu, the killer whale. Harcourt had been denied a permit to capture additional killer whales in the wild and was therefore limited to acquiring killer whales already in captivity. Harcourt approached the owners of Marineland which was then struggling financially, with an offer to purchase their star attractions, Corky and Orky, who had proven to be a successful breeding pair of killer whales. the owners of Marineland were unwilling to part with them, and instead offered to sell the entire Marineland park.

Orky, the larger male, at Marineland show.

In public testimony to the City Council of Rancho Palos Verdes, company officials stated that their intentions in acquiring the park were to renovate and keep the park open. they really only wanted Orky and Corky, however, and planned to shut the park down and to immediately sell the land to an Arizona developer, and quickly did so after closing the park. Harcourt completed their purchase of the park in late 1986, and within a few weeks after the purchase, moved Corky and Orky to their Sea World Park in San Diego in the middle of the night without any prior notice to the public, and closed Marineland, claiming that the park was going to cost more money to renovate than they originally estimated. Unfortunately, Orky, the male, died two years later in 1988, however Corky is still alive (she is now believed to be about 40 years old and the oldest of the seven killer whales in San Diego) and performing daily at Sea World in San Diego. She gave birth to seven calves, however all died soon after birth, with the oldest living only for 46 days. Palos Verdes residents, to this day, mourn the loss of this wonderful community asset, which fortunately, however, has been replaced by the beautiful new 5 star terranea Resort.

As a twenty-one year resident of the South bay, I continue to be amazed at the breadth of local talent we have living here. Over the course of our first ten publications, South bay Digs has been lucky enough to sit down with locals like former NHL Star & LA Kings player Marty McSorley, Malaga bank CEO Randy bowers, Chez Mlange owners Michael Frank & Robert Bell, Sit n Sleep CEO Larry Miller, Shade Hotel owner Mike Zislis, as well as twenty year floral business owners Lisa Gallien & Lee Hoven-bakos of Growing Wild. One thing they all have in common a love and respect for the local community.

In this issue, we had the chance to sit down with Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach and local Manhattan beach resident Jim Cleamons to discuss teachable Moments on the basketball Court, starting on page 29. Coach Cleamons is an amazing person, who uses basketball as a muse to teach others about life.

South bay Digs continues to build momentum in the local real estate marketplace as the only 100% targeted real estate marketing platform for the beach cities in the South bay. Our March 4 issue had over $400,000,000 of active property listings for sale! Since we launched last October, our unique and innovative multi-channel media platform has delivered over 317,862 media impressions for home sellers and local real estate professionals alike utilizing the most relevant media channels (Print 235,000, Online 22,062, Social Media 60,800.)

We hope you enjoy this issue!

NEW MANHATTAN VILLAGE LISTINGSPOTLIGHT ON MANHATTAN VILLAGE


CONTACT ED FOR A FREE CUSTOMIZED MARKET ANALYSIS OF YOUR HOME.

Manhattan Beach, CA -

Nestled into a secluded, guard-gated area of

Manhattan Beach, Manhattan Village is an exclusive

collection of 400 custom town homes and court

homes, representing the finest in beach living. The

development was built mainly between 1983 and

1987 with some newer Estate Homes that were more

recently constructed.

The community boasts a main pool and spa area,

four additional spas within the community, and a quiet

family atmosphere. In addition to a seven member

Board of Directors, the community is governed by a

variety of active committees.

This type of community is unique in the South Bay

especially the beach cities. It is extremely rare to find a

gated community and conformity in the area, as most

of the area is made up of 50 and 60 year old tracts

that have been partially redeveloped.

The village has been very popular for newly

placed L.A. Athletes for many reasons. SportStar

Relocation, a real estate and concierge company

owned and operated by Ed Kaminsky, often receives

continual requests from their clients to find special

properties throughout the country. The proximity to

the training center in El Segundo and LAX, makes it an

easy commute, and the gated/private aspect solidifies

it as a great choice for athletes and their families.

When players are on the road or taking time off in the

off season, there is comfort knowing there is constant

security in the area. Manhattan Beach is not known

to have celebrity stalkers or paparazzi but the added

defense of a guard gated community is definitely

a plus. Ed Kaminsky is a local realtor at Shorewood

Realtors and represents many of the athletes that buy

and sell in the South Bay.

One of the biggest draws of the community is the

serenity and beauty that exudes throughout. This is a

low density community and only allows for 8.7 homes

per acre. With this type of density you have plenty of

green and open space; lush landscaping adds to the

beauty of the area. Besides the pool and activity areas,

there is also a private entrance to Manhattan Village

Shopping plaza that has everything you need from

great restaurants, a grocery store, movie theatres,

shopping mall and nearly every bank you can think of,

all within walking distance or a very short drive.

Although the adjacent golf course is not a part of

the development it does offer nearby recreation for all:

for some lucky homeowners it offers great vistas on

the course from the homes. The golf course is a 9-hole

course with mainly par 3s making it a perfect place to

practice your short game.

The community was developed with 3 distinct

property types: The Estate Homes are state-of-the-art

in scale, in appointments, and in design. The floor plans

are open and additionally designed for family function.

Three and four bedroom single-family homes in five

imaginative floor plans. A choice of Mediterranean,

Tudor, French or Cape Cod motifs. The privacy of each

street entrance is enhanced by the subtle blending

of landscape and masonry, contributing to lovely

neighborhoods. Many of them are located on quiet cul-

de-sacs. The sizes typically range from approximately

2000 sqft up to over 3100 sqft.

The Town Homes achieve that successful balance

of function and form. They win lasting appreciation

from homeowners. Traditional side-by-side town

homes with numerous, premium corner units. Single or

two-story floor plans, many with golf course views. The

garages are on the same level as the main entrance to

the home. Each home has its own private patio, hand-

crafted masonry fireplace, and large master suites with

spacious private baths and closets The sizes range

from just over 1400 sqft to just over 2000 sqft.

The Court Homes offer four distinctive variations

on the attached living concept. A unique cluster

arrangement provides every home with its own

landscaped, semi-private courtyard. A showcase of

breathtaking split-level design, with private entrance

garages tucked under the living area. Each home has

a cozy wood burning fireplace, gourmet kitchen, and

large master suites with those spacious private baths

and closets. The sizes range from approximately 1400

sqft to just under 2000 sqft.

So whether you want a cozy 2 bedroom court

home or a private single family residence, the choices

are available, the privacy is second to none, and the

value is well protected as the demand has always

remained constant. For more information on floor

plans and availability or to showcase your Village

property to the best buyers available contact Ed

Kaminsky directly at 310-427-241

* Although price per square foot can be a base for

valuation it can range dramatically based on upgrades

to the unit, location within the development and style

and design of the specific property.

If your schedules too packed to earn that Ph.D. in philosophy, spend a half an hour with Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Jim Cleamons. Youll come away wiser and ready for the second half of basketball season. Quick to quash rumors that he is a Rhodes Scholar, Cleamonss quiet wisdom transcends the conventional and leaves little doubt as to the source of his success as a teacher and mentor. South Bay Digs had the honor of speaking with Cleamons on a resplendent Manhattan Beach afternoon. In the process, we learned a few things about life, love and the pursuit of excellence.

you had a great win last night. What are the key factors for a higher percentage of wins in the second part of the season? Just prior to the All Stars break we lost three games in a row. Any time you lose three games in a row in Los Angeles, especially with the Lakers organization, you dont want to go out in public. youd be surprised how many owners and bosses we have. Everyone wants to know whats wrong with their team. Fans have to understand that we want to win as much as they want us to win. A lot of what you do in sports, youre required to do as a team; its not an individual competition. You have to coexist and sometimes theres a level of mental fatigue. These arent excuses, its just the nature of the business. We as a team know when were not performing well. Were hopeful that well ride our ship after the All Stars break and play the way we know were capable of playing.

you mentioned mental fatigue. certainly intellect is a part of the game. How do you think your academic achievements influenced your ability to lead a team?My senior year in college I was extremely fortunate to be named Athlete of year at my university. Academically, I am fortunate and blessed. I just try to do a good job. but I am not a Rhodes Scholar. Lets nip that rumor in the bud.

got it. Were all about accuracy here. so how are academics and athletics related, in your opinion? I had a really strong mother, aunt and uncle. If you didnt cut the mustard academically, there was no way in the world youd have an opportunity to participate athletically. I remember the first time I got a B on my report card. You would have thought the sky was falling. I was punished for six weeks. When I brought home that b in reading, my mom, who was an educator, made me read every night after dinner for six weeks. At the time I saw it as a punishment, but now that I am a parent, I realize the dedication and love [my mother had for me]. In her own stern way, she was giving love to me. I see athletics and academics as forces that work in conjunction with each other to help you add a certain amount of caring and passion to whatever you do in your life.

it seems youve channeled that combination of discipline and dedication in your work with youth in the community.I partnered with the brotherhood Crusade to do a summer camp called books and basketball. young people come to learn basketball, but actually we teach them more about academics and life. We teach them about science and diversity. the younger kids take classes in chess,

(lefttoright:lakerScoachingStaff:aSSiStantSJimcleamonS,BrianShaw,heaDcoachphilJackSon,aSSiStantfrankhamBlen)


etiquette and manners, also financial literacy. They still have time for basketball. We try to show them that theres more to life than sports. Especially with basketball, you use the sport; dont let the sport use you. All too often in these communities, young people grow up thinking that by the magic of television, careers are made. they dont understand the hard work and dedication that takes place before you turn on the television. Its my belief that if you expose them to what happens behind the scenes, it will help in the long run to broaden their horizons. young people are resilient, and their curiosity about what happens around them is boundless. We tell them to ask questions of the adults and people who are their mentors and teachers, to use the resources available to them to enhance their lives.

How much of what you instill in the kids translates to your effectiveness as a coach?One of the reasons I got into education to begin with is that I enjoy the light that shines when a young person really understands. I hesitate most of the time to tell people that Im a coach; I like to refer to what I do as teaching. I see the basketball floor as a classroom. youre using certain parts of your brain to do an athletic action in the same way youd use other parts of the brain for English, history or biology. It all works hand in hand. As a teacher I [help students] reduce the stress of learning through practice. [this applies] not only in the classroom as a student, but also in the classroom on the basketball floor in front of thousands of people. If you can do it in practice, you can do it on the basketball floor. With the right heart, the right mind and a spirit of collaboration with your coaches, teachers and teammates, you can win. And winning doesnt always mean championships, but it means doing the best you can in each situation.

switching gears, your career has enabled you to live all over the u.s. How did you choose manhattan beach and what do you like most about living here?When Phil Jackson accepted the coaching job in June 1999 and asked me to join the staff, I had no idea where in L.A. I wanted to live. the Lakers were moving to [a new practice facility in] El Segundo and moving into the Staples Center. I had a newborn child and I didnt want to spend a lot of my time commuting. My wife and I looked at various communities and settled on Manhattan beach. the reputation of the Manhattan beach schools was one of the things that attracted us. Also, with a wife and two

young daughters, shopping is important. the access to shopping in the South bay is tremendous. Plaza El Segundo is a crown jewel. We not only have shopping in downtown Manhattan beach, you also have Del Amo and the Galleria. Then there are the restaurants. For someone whos on the road 90 percent of the time, when Im home, I dont want to travel far to get to the services I need.

Who was your real estate agent?Ed Kaminsky is the agent my wife and I work with exclusively. Ed does

what most successful people do: He listens. He is a problem-solver who addresses whatever challenges there may be. A lot of the Lakers use Ed for their relocations.

if you had the chance to redo any decision youve made in your life, what would it be?We had a gorgeous home in Manhattan beach. We both really enjoyed it, but in the late 2004 season, Phil was not re-signed by the Lakers and I accepted a job in New Orleans. So we sold this home. As I look back, we would have been better off if we had stayed. When we got to New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina hit. We had bought a gorgeous home there and we lost that house. I moved for the right reasons, but financially and emotionally, moving my family from a home we all loved and then experiencing Katrina was traumatic, but we survived. It makes you thankful you have family.

after sitting with you these past 30 minutes, its easy to see where your success comes from. you have this tremendous sense of whats important. I deal with people every day that have an effect on my life, but on whom I have no effect. If I cant communicate, and if they dont want to do what I want them to do, what am I supposed to do? Pitch a fit?

It doesnt solve the problem. you learn to control those things you can control, and what you cant, you give back to God. but you still try to work through it. If each person helped another, the world would be a much better place. the person that you help may not be able to give back to you what you gave to him, but your blessing is going to come back from someone you dont know yet. this is one of the things that athletics has taught me. People talk about Phils Zen. Zen is just being in the moment. So if we cherish every moment that we have and do the best we can, we all can be successful.
