FACING THE STRANGE by Krysta Murray
As David Bowie sang, “turn and face the strange.” Some people just don’t like change and I understand. It certainly can be scary, even the good kinds of change can cause stress and feelings of dread. In this new year, resolutions may involve some type of change or you may have little choice in an impending change. As someone who has faced the strange more times than I can remember, there is good news. Sometimes fear is mistaken for anxious, nervous feelings- like performers who have stage fright before a show. It’s normal to feel that way, but after their performance they typically feel incredibly good for braving the stage and experience a thrill from their accomplishment. Frequent moves are a typical aspect of military life, as are deployments. Both of these are pretty significant changes that require adjustment compared to whatever it is we may consider the regular day-to-day life at that time.

OPERATION HOMELIFE
“If you don’t ask for help, it can easily be assumed you don’t need it.”
Currently we are at our fifth duty station as a military family. Essentially that averages out to about one major move every three years, though really we were in one place closer to 18 months and another for nearly five years. I have lived in the North, the South, the East and the West of the United States as well as overseas and let me just say, no two are alike. I can however say that I am grateful for it, and here’s why. With every change, I have learned new things about myself as well as about the world around me. I feel more cultured and that I have not only expanded my mind, but my ability to adapt. New experiences teach us all something if we are willing to reflect on the lessons we learn along the way. Wanting to stay within our comfort zones is perfectly normal and understandable. Unfortunately, most of us find ourselves pushed beyond it whether we want to or not. So how can we become better at making the most of it? Because the fact of the matter is, you may not choose to go through this change, but you can choose how to respond to it. Be proactive. By this, you prepare as best as you can rather than waiting until something happens to take action. For example, a new duty station would mean researching the location. What is the weather like, how is the cost of living, is it more city life or rural. Then I begin looking into housing options, schools in the area, job potential. Will we need to downsize belongings, save more money, etc. I tend to make a lot of lists and check lists. This often is the same for my check-out process, such as what I need to cancel, who I need to inform and what I need to collect before I leave. Though you can’t always be 100 percent prepared, being informed helps bring back some of the control Page 8
Coronado Magazine - January
of the situation and makes the adjustment a little smoother. The same things are required when you become a new parent, get a new job or even a new pet. It is better to get as much of the information as possible and plan ahead rather than find yourself in an unfavorable situation that could have been prevented.
Assess your situation. Look for the things you can control. This will help you to feel more focused. This will also allow you to identify the things you cannot control. Whether it’s because of other people, mother nature or simply poor timing, we cannot control everything. These are the things that must be let go. Instead, focus on the challenges you can tackle and by doing so, the problem becomes smaller, your stress levels lower and often the path to a solution becomes clearer. Being in a constant state of overwhelming stress won’t get you very far, so take a breath and take things one at a time. Be positive. Actively and repeatedly transmitting negative emotions can prevent the adaption process. It also likely brings down everyone else around you. Have you seen the Saturday Night Live skit Debbie Downer? Don’t be like her. That isn’t to say you shouldn’t vent, it is perfectly normal to be overcome by negative emotions, but don’t stop at that and declare defeat. Not everyone can provide you a way to fix things, but they can show support and offer you advice. You just have to be willing to keep an open mind.
Seek advice. Most of the time people worry about change because they fear the unknown. The first day at a new job can be riddled with nerves, as can getting behind the wheel of a car and learning to drive, or heading off to college or buying a home. These can all be confounding to the novice person, but someone somewhere has experienced similar situations and can provide you with resources or tips on how to overcome those debilitating emotions. You should not feel like you ever have to do something alone. Most of us underestimate the kindness of strangers, or even overlook the familiar people we already know that could be the support we need at the time. It is ok to need help, but most of the time you will have to seek it out and ask for it. Don’t expect others to know how much you do or don’t know. If you don’t ask for help, it can easily be assumed you don’t need it. In this new year we all
OPERATION HOMELIFE
may experience many changes, expected or unexpected. View the change as an opportunity to learn and grow rather than as a setback. Maybe you will move away from home and find out you are quite independent. Or meet new people who become lifelong friends who would not have otherwise come into your life. I have made friends that are currently residing all over the world in the many years of my relocations. I have certainly become more open-minded to new customs as well, some of which I now include in my regular day-to-day, others I respect but do not practice myself. I have eaten foods I never would have thought I would try let alone like; met people I never would have thought I could relate to. I see the world in an entirely new way. Don’t be afraid to turn and face the strange, you just may like what you see. And if not, at least now you know.

Starting Over by Linda L. Austin

Coronado Magazine - January
At 93, Audrey Geisel, Mrs. Dr. Seuss, woke with, “I love breakfast. You have the whole day in front of you.” According to her recent obituary, she never looked backonly forward, and she never complained. The beginning of a new year is a great time to look forward. We might like to hit the re-set button, but rarely do we get the chance to completely erase a wrong decision with no consequences. To keep Geisel’s optimistic outlook, however, we all know we need to move on, do what we can, and accept the failures as part of life’s experiences that make us who we are. New Year’s Resolutions were once an important topic the last week of December. People thought about what they wanted to change in their lives. While the good intentions may have evaporated within weeks of the new year, reflecting on how to be a better person, improve conditions around us, or live a healthier life style was beneficial. Granted most resolutions involved exercise or dieting, but some centered on altruistic goals: being more thoughtful to someone, such as showing attention to older family members, visiting disabled friends, sending more cards, or calling more often. The personal development goals were plentiful, too: read a book a month, complete crossword puzzles or Sudoku daily, attend lectures or concerts more often, watch the history channel.
The new year gives us the optic of beginning fresh, of starting a new path, of correcting wrongs. We need to decide what is most important in our lives, genuinely important, then question whether we demonstrate that to the people who know us. An interview with Charles Krauthammer’s son about the last book Krauthammer left for his son to finish focused on what was important to him. Home movies showed Krauthammer in numerous settings, confined to a wheelchair, watching, laughing, and encouraging his young son to ski, swim, play games. During the 3-hour ride to the slopes, the son once asked his dad to teach him something. Thereafter, the long ride was a learning session on a specific topic, the constitution being one threehour lesson. His son had no doubts what was important to his dad, even though his famous dad wrote editorials and books, was a public speaker, regularly attended baseball games to satisfy his passion, and was a guest on television talk shows. He had a full life. He was busy, but evidently he made time for what was important to him, his family. If you need to adjust your priorities, make a list of how to do that. Put items in your phone calendar to remind you to stay on track. Need to call home more often? Choose a day each week and enter your prompt. Plan a regular day each month to meet a friend to walk or have coffee. Want to eat healthier lunches or be more frugal? Pack your own lunch. Want to get rid of clutter in your home? Choose one room a month to organize
cabinets, drawers, shelves. Keep the giveaway bag handy. Always wanted to paint or write? Sign up for a class. Days and years rush past us, and we should make the time we have count. Everyone has the same number of minutes in a day. How do we use them is the important question. The beginning of a new year is as good a time as any to realign our routines, to accomplish the dormant goals we have held for years, to demonstrate what is most important to us. The Pearls Before Swine cartoon by Stephan Pastis had Pig saying, “I think I’ll consider my life a success if when I die I leave this world with no regrets.” We will probably all have a few regrets. Hopefully, they will be small ones, perhaps ones we could not have handled differently at that time in our life. We may not be able to control situations that arise, but we can control how we react to them. Regrets may occur from lethargy. We simply fail to take the step to accomplish what we want to do. Write down a plan for the year with deadlines for each minute step. Share your goal with a friend who will encourage your dream, maybe even join you in your venture. We can attempt to do better this year, to enrich our lives, to make the day count. We all have flaws, and we all know what they are if we are honest with ourselves. Indecision, inactivity, procrastination can lead to missing out on wonderful experiences. Change occurs gradually and only with determination; however, it never occurs if we fail to acknowledge what we need to do and step out to meet the challenge. Carol Burnett said it succinctly, “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.”
“Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.”

Let Them Eat Cake, Who Needs Naps? by Hattie Foote
Hello 2019! New Year, fresh start. As much as I envision myself drinking cucumber water and eating kale salads, while reading the latest self help book I remember I’m a mom. A delusional one at that. After barely making the holiday season out alive, I’m thrown back into the trenches with my daughter’s January birthday. Not just a birthday but a five year old girl birthday! The pressure!
Coronado Magazine - January Page 15
I have to give her credit, her ideas for a party have been impressive and not at all unreasonable. Her current vision is to invite her entire class and teachers to a mermaid party. Sounds harmless right? More specifically a pool party where every guest gets personalized mermaid tails and matching crowns. Also Ariel will show up and teach everyone to talk underwater, obviously. Damn you Disney! Luckily she is ok with a Spreckels Park back up plan. In fact, every birthday party she has ever had has been at Spreckels, why mess with a good thing? I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but last year’s party took the cake (see what I did there?). In fact I have inspired a good chunk of friends to throw the exact same party and its a real crowd pleaser. Of course I’m going to share with you guys. So let me introduce the breakfast birthday party! We have always had trouble with afternoon parties because of nap schedules. Between sugar highs and sleep deprivation, It can be a recipe for disaster. So we set up a bagel, donut, and coffee bar on a picnic table, and started that wing dinger at 9 a.m. We had a piñata and bounce house (make sure to get a permit with the city) and the kids had a blast. Keeping it simple is what works for us. I will say we went to a little girl’s birthday party at Be Polished and it was adorable. I am savoring my sons birthdays right now where all he needs are a balloon/cake situation and he’s a happy camper! Obviously I am still in the little kid season of life, so I offer zero ideas when it comes to older kid parties. Growing up, I was at a birthday sleepover every other weekend and they were so casual and fun. As a parent now it sounds slightly intimidating, so I will cross that bridge when I get there. Do you remember that MTV show “My Super Sweet Sixteen?” I grew up in New Mexico, and I remember one of the first episodes was filmed in San Diego and I was in shock. It was about these 16 year old girls who looked like they were 25, acting horribly and spending money like they were the Kardashians. Truly my worst nightmare. Page 16

PARENTING

PARENTING
I mean I went to one birthday party when I was younger that I thought it was so high class. The birthday girl’s dad owned like seven Burger Kings and so we got to eat there and then they rented out an indoor playground. Talk about fancy! I hope my kids will be ok with beach bonfire parties because that sounds pretty perfect to me! Enough about the kids, what about us grown ups? Honestly, wine, cupcakes and some peace and quiet sound great! I usually don’t love attention on me, however this year I am turning the big 35 so I think we will do a little celebrating! We have so many great restaurants on the island, we will probably stay local! Just no surprise birthday party Chris Foote, we remember what happened last time you did that ( I thought we were being robbed and started crying, don’t ask )! My husband actually turned 40 last year, and we ditched the kids and went to Italy for ten days, and it was as magical as it sounds. Page 18
Coronado Magazine - January
To be honest we could have gone to El Cajon and it still would have been amazing. You have to check out my instagram (@hattiefoote) to see his gift. My dear friends at Scala Pictures, a San Diego videographer filmed us at our beach and it is the most touching, tearjerker of a short film. It truly was a gift to our whole family and is a special birthday present idea for anyone near and dear to you. One last birthday I would like to shout out is to the Coronado Historical Association who turns 50 years old this year! How beautiful was the 50 years Christmas lights over the building during the holidays? So Happy Birthday to everyone this year, I hope they are filled with good health and good laughs. Phew I feel like I just knocked out a years worth of birthday cards with that last line! Cheers everyone!

THEN & NOW
The Coronado Historical Association Presents Wende Wagner: Coronado’s Surfer Girl by Christine Stokes, Museum Director
Wende Wagner sits on the hood of a car in Hawaii while she is surrounded by many surfers of Coronado. Photograph courtesy of Pat and Vince Flynn.
She is best remembered for her role as ‘Lenore “Casey” Case’ on the 1960s television series, “The Green Hornet,” but here in Coronado, she was known as a local surfer girl. Locals Pat Flynn and Ky Roberts remember Wende Wagner from Coronado High School: “She was exotic, Bohemian, and unique. She was a wow when she came to Coronado.” Wagner was always edgy and ahead of her time. She certainly made waves at Coronado High School (CHS) when she arrived in her junior year (1958). Born to U.S. Navy Commander John H. Wagner and Rudy Arnold Wagner, a champion skier, Wende grew up living throughout the U.S. at her father’s various postings, but it was Coronado that she called home. Her father was a well-known swimming and diving Page 20
Coronado Magazine - January
coach, and indeed Wende Wagner had a love of the water also. According to Pat and Ky, Wende Wagner was one of the first, if not the first, CHS student to wear a bikini bathing suit as far as they can remember. She was a bathing beauty, and a skilled swimmer and surfer. Both her love of the water and looks came from her father. He was part Cherokee. His lineage gave her the long black hair that made her unique. Pat notes, “She wore it most of the time in two braids with her straight across bangs. Pretty much no one else at CHS wore braids then.” Wagner was Wendy when she was at Coronado High School and changed the spelling of her name to Wende after her Hollywood discovery. As a Coronado teenager, Wende found
herself attracted to the waves and the collection of youths who were known informally as the Coronado Gypsies, guys with nicknames like “Dooley” (Tom Carlin), “Skeeter,” and “Gunker” (Chuck Quinn). She was a natural in the water. Carlin taught her to board surf in Coronado. As Wagner was the only girl, she didn’t need a nickname; she was just “the girl.” The Gypsies could be found in the surf. According to Tom Lisanti’s 2003 book, “Drive-In Dream Girls: A Galaxy of B-Movie Starlets,” while living in Coronado with her family, Billy Wilder, then filming “Some Like It Hot,” saw Wagner swimming and offered her a screen test. Her parents forbade it until she completed her senior year at Coronado High School. After graduating in 1959, she visited Wilder and did a screen test, but turned down a role in “The Apartment.” Instead, Wagner traveled the world as a fashion model, then made her television debut in an episode of “Wagon Train” in 1959. One of the most interesting aspects of Wagner’s career is her time as a stunt double. During the first half of the twentieth century, in Hollywood’s early days, stuntmen often dressed up as women to perform stunts in movies. But not all stunt doubling was done by men. In the silent era, many film actresses performed their own stunts., and by Wagner’s time, women in the industry were looking to secure their jobs. In fact, Jeannie Epper and 20 other women formed the Stuntwomen’s Association of Motion Pictures (SWAMP) in 1968. While living in the Bahamas Wagner became an underwater stunt double in the series “Sea Hunt” and “The Aquanauts.” She also doubled for Joanne Dru in underwater sequences
in the 1960 film “September Storm.” Wagner even appeared on “What’s My Line?” in December 1960 as a “Stunt skin-diver for television films”. She married fellow underwater expert Courtney Brown whom she had met while working on the shows. After her marriage to Courtney Brown they lived and worked in the Bahamas, later becoming parents to a daughter named Tiffany. After she divorced Brown, she moved to Hollywood, where she met and married her second husband, James Mitchum, son of actor Robert Mitchum. Sadly, Wagner died prematurely of cancer on Feb. 26, 1997, at the age of 55. Learn more about Wagner and the stars of Coronado by visiting the Coronado Historical Association’s museum at 1100 Orange Avenue. The Association’s newest exhibit: “Coronado’s Golden Age of Film” features a retrospective of Coronado’s fascinating film history, including a Coronado Hall of Fame of the many cinematic Coronadans, like Johnny Downs and Anita Page. Visit coronadohistory.org for more information.
Wende looks out over the surf with Tom Carlin, son of one of the Coronado Historical Association’s most prolific founding members, Katherine Carlin. Photograph courtesy of Pat and Vince Flynn.

Got Gratitude? Back to Earth After the Holidays by Brooke Clifford

Coronado Magazine - January
FEATURE
I’m no stranger to feelings of melancholy, and I know how winter can exacerbate such states. We’re coming off the high of the holidays and it’s worth trying to hold on to that sense of wonder and gratitude instilled in our lives as we move forward into the new year. Something as simple as gratitude can be a very powerful emotion, easy to summon yet strong enough to drive away any storm.
My family suffered two losses this year, one at the start and the other at the end of the year with the loss of a grandparent. While sad, both events spurred a lot of happy moments in which we delighted in looking back through old family photographs and re-telling favorite stories. I’m so grateful for the time I had with them and to have such wonderful family…even when we aren’t always perfect.
You may already be aware of the plethora of benefits gratitude can provide. There plenty of “10 Surprising Ways Gratitude Can Change Your Life” style articles floating around the internet but every now and then it’s worth revisiting. Gratitude is a conduit for positivity, and positive feelings improve mood, which in turn improves our health, relationships, and by extension helps us achieve our goals in life – be they in the workplace, New Year resolutions, interpersonal relationships and more.
I’m also grateful for the people who offered their support, and was reminded of how my family extends beyond flesh and blood relatives to friends and neighbors.
Let’s face it. Life is always give and take. It is easy to enjoy and celebrate the gives in life, such as friends becoming first time parents, cousins getting married, sister becoming engaged, new jobs on the horizon. I am thankful for the chance to celebrate these joys. However, in the dark moments of the takes in life, being grateful is harder. It’s ok to feel down, but know that when you’re done crying, you can find a rainbow. You just need to look.
While those were life changing events, what about every day life when someone cuts you off in traffic, you get put on hold forever, you suddenly have to fill in for a coworker? What works for me? Walking. Whenever I’m feeling frustrated, down, or overwhelmed I try to find time to go for a walk. Strolling by the beach or the bay never fails to remind me how much I love Coronado and how lucky I am to have grown up here. I walk past houses where old friends used to live and spots that trigger happy memories with my siblings, and meaningful moments with parents. Even though my life isn’t where I want it to be right this second, one of the joys of being in my hometown right now is the many fond memories I have from this place. This helps me refocus on the beauty and good in the world on days when that hope is more difficult to find.

have and what you can pass along to others. There are so many different organizations and opportunities to volunteer that you can almost certainly find opportunities that pertain to your interests and things you already enjoy doing or care about. Love the beach? Participate in a beach clean-up day! Love to read? Schools and libraries are often looking for volunteers to help out where you can share and inspire that same passion in others! If you’re familiar with my writing, you know I’m a cosplayer, and one of my goals this year is to get more involved with charity cosplay groups and events.
That’s my go to, but there are plenty of other ways you can get in touch with gratitude. Spend five minutes a day writing in a gratitude journal, and you’ll find new ways to recognize the things you’re grateful for and it will shift your perception of your life. Once you start reflecting on the things you’re thankful for, you’ll find it’s easy to think of more. It’s wonderful to be grateful for the obvious, but try to find something new and different everyday. If traditional journaling isn’t your

thing, find a way to make it you. Maybe that’s one #gratitudejournal post on Instagram a day, or a #thankfulthursday post once a week where you can keep it private or connect with the community using that same hashtag. Whatever form your gratitude journal takes, it’s going to be a source of happiness to reflect upon when you need it. Gratitude doesn’t have to be a solitary act. If you have time, volunteering is another avenue to achieve positivity in your life, and in others’ lives. It is a way of appreciating what you
Maybe you just can’t make organized volunteering work right now and that’s totally okay. A random act of kindness can have the same effect and powerful meaning. It can be as small as paying the meter for someone or baking extra cookies to share with the neighbors. Pick up the phone and call an old friend or your grandparent. Basically doing something nice for someone else expresses your appreciation for them and passes the positivity along. There’s a line from the film “Love Actually”: “Often [love’s] not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there.” I think that can be applied to gratitude as well. It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture.
FEATURE
Just taking that extra moment to thank someone, reflect on the positives in your own life or let someone else know you appreciate them, even a complete stranger, can make a difference – sometimes the biggest difference. And that one little act that starts from a place of thankfulness inspires kindness, and that kindness will only grow from there.
something extra about how that person’s thoughtfulness was special to you, your gratitude can spread, giving joy to someone else.

Perhaps you could start a gratitude jar with your family, or simply reach out to someone who has made a difference in your life to thank them. Of course, one way to express gratitude is through the timeless art of the thank you note. Once you sit down to actually put pen to paper, you can find yourself thinking of the recipient and how grateful you are for not only what they have given to you, but for who they are in your life. It is an exercise beyond the good manners your parents taught you. Once finished, it can uplift your mood. (Not to mention give you one more thing to cross off your to do list.) Interestingly, I have noticed that sometimes people get thanked for their thank you note! The simple thank you note lets people know that you received their gift and like it.

The Power of the Thank You Note When it comes to thank you notes, nothing can compete with a handwritten note sent in the mail. That being said, in today’s world, many people choose to email, text or make a phone call to say thank you. Those are certainly viable options. Anything to relay that you are appreciative of what someone has done for you or given you is good. Know your giver and what form of appreciation would be appropriate for them. If they are happy with a text or if saying thank you in person is enough, then you are set. If you send an email and the giver is good with that, perfect (although be sure they read their emails!). When in doubt write the thank you note. You can never go wrong with that. Hand written thank you notes are a must, however, when it comes to wedding and shower gifts, condolence notes and gifts, and work related gifts. I would add grandparents to that list, too. Most thank you’s should be sent within a day or two of receipt, (except for wedding and illness where etiquette gives you more time), but don’t use that as a reason not to write. It is never too late to say thank you. Take an extra minute or two to add something personal, beyond perfunctory. There are plenty of websites to help struggling thank you note writers. Letting someone know that their gift was greatly appreciated can make a huge impact on them and on your relationship. Never doubt the power of the thank you note. “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” William Arthur Ward Page 26

Fresh
Start by Denise Lyon
January is the ideal month for a fresh start of the new year. It is a clean slate to focus on what you want in your life and in your home. The craziness of the holidays is thankfully over and as Marie Kondo writes in “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” it is about finding for yourself in 2019, what “sparks joy.” “Believe what your heart tells you when you ask that question. If you act on that intuition, you will be amazed at how things will begin to connect in your life and the dramatic changes that follow.” This is the time of year to simplify, declutter, discard and delete. It is the right time to clear off desks and shelves, toss out old emails, reorganize by paring down your belongings and clothes you no longer need. Is a piece useful, beautiful or sentimental? Find freedom in picking your favorite items and letting the rest go.

Eat seasonally to find the joy of simplicity. The produce section of the grocery store and farmer’s market, showcase food that is ripe, healthy and colorful. Late winter produce is typically plentiful, local, less expensive, healthier and just tastes better now than any other time of year.

AT HOME Broken can be beautiful. In Japan, there is a term called “kintsukuroi� which means to repair with gold. It is the art of repairing broken pottery with gold. The repaired piece is considered more beautiful for having been broken and the gold adds to its beauty and history. Reflect on this when you feel broken.

January is the best month to celebrate the beauty of a fresh cut flower, a cleared desk, a sweet strawberry, the long overdue repair of a broken item and reconnecting to what is important to you.

Keeping Our Town More Beautiful
One Project at A Time by Alessandra Selgi-Harrigan
When two friends and Navy wives, Bobby Perkins and Ann Boyd, whose husbands worked together on the USS Ticonderoga heard that there was no garden club, in Coronado registered with the National Garden Club they got to work. They put an announcement in the Coronado Journal and organized a meeting to be held at the North Island Officer’s Club. They called it the Bridge & Bay Garden Club. Eight women came to that first meeting on Feb. 29, 1972. “We wanted Navy wives to join without being invited,” explained Perkins. After meeting at North Island for a number of years the club started meeting in the Winn Room of the Coronado Public Library and it opened to everyone interested in gardening and plants. When the duo first founded the club they had no idea what would happen, but their hope was that it would continue over the years, especially with Navy families moving away from Coronado. Perkins and Boyd still live in Coronado. They are in their late 80s and are still active in the club. “Both Ann and I served as president and [do] various jobs throughout the club. We’ve done many beautification projects. It’s fun and the group of ladies seem to like each other,” said Perkins. After the club was up and going, Perkins moved to Washington DC. She was obviously missed during her absence and she recalled with a chuckle that as soon as Boyd heard that the Perkins had received orders to come back to Coronado, Boyd asked her “Will you be president?” Perkins answered, “I’m not even there yet.” The members of the club have beautified Coronado over the years with projects that include an area at Spreckels Park, the Middle School, and Hernandez Park. Once the club finishes a project, the members continue to maintain it. For example, club members go to the area in Spreckels Park once a month to pull weeds and do whatever needs to be done. One of the latest projects the club took on was the beautification of the post office headed by club member of Page 38

three years and Navy wife, Tami Bickel. She first noticed the flower bed near the front door was not well kept. “It’s a busy place, it needed a lot of help,” she said. Bickel asked the managers if it would be possible to beautify the area. The answer was that they had been trying to get the government to landscape and anything will be an improvement. So Bickel got to work. She estimated she had 15 volunteers over the course of the project and some days she was working alone. “Everyone that participated had so much fun; the pots were donated by the members, the plants as well,” she explained.

Nov. 1 was the first day when she and the others started cleaning up the area and painted a black border. “Everyone planted what they wanted to plant,” said Bickel. By Thursday Nov. 29, Bickel was determined to finish the project and went back to the post office and worked alone in the rain. “The post office project has been so amazing,” she said. “I credit the whole group. After I presented the project, the board donated soil and paint and several hundred dollars for the project.” As with all the other projects undertaken by the club the post office will be regularly maintained. The club spotlights a business every month with well kept green areas. The business is awarded with the “The Spot of Beauty” certificate and a photo published in the Eagle & Journal. Every Christmas the club members thank the Police and Fire departments, as well as City Hall employees, with something special. For many years the ladies made and donated baked goods. Now as a thank you they donate miniature Christmas trees. Page 40

Membership is $35 a year and meetings are held on the fourth Monday of every month in the Winn Room from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Meetings are open to the public. A monthly speaker is featured and free coffee and snacks are available. Members are not necessarily all great gardeners, some are in the process. “Everyone wants green plants, beautiful plants. At almost every meeting we do clippings exchange,” explained Bickel. Bickel said she inherited a green thumb from her grandmother. When she lived on Olive Avenue she had no garden but had about 43 pots planted with herbs, vegetables and fruits. She is currently growing six avocado plants and one of them came from a seed of an avocado she bought at the Farmer’s Market at the Ferry Landing. Bickel explained that those who join the club have three common interests: to learn more about gardening; getting their hands in the dirt; and giving back to the community. “In 2014 I didn’t know anything about the club but I joined it to dig in the dirt,” she said. Bickel has been the treasurer for three years and has served in numerous committees and writes the monthly newsletter.
FEATURE
Kurt Peacock of Green Leaf Tree Care and Tree San Diego will be the featured speaker at the next meeting on Jan. 28 and will discuss the effects on trees as a result of climate change and the invasive species of insects and plants and how they affect the landscape. Past topics have included water conservation and alternatives; Halloween - themed flower arrangements; and bees and how to help them pollinate. The club is involved in the community with various projects not connected to gardening. For example, the club sponsors books in honor of members who pass away; the club enters a float in the Fourth of July parade and makes a donation to the Fourth of July committee; and during the Annual Flower Show, the club provides blooms for the children’s hand tied bouquets. The club also offers a social opportunity with many coffees, teas, luncheons and dinners hosted by members at a time when their gardens are blooming. Field trips to the Botanical Gardens are also organized. Members of the club are not only from Coronado but also come from nearby areas including La Jolla, Pt. Loma and Imperial Beach. “If you are looking for new additions to your yard, stop by and get clippings,” said Bickel about the monthly meetings. Coronado Magazine - January Page 41

SoupĂs On Return of the Classic Soup
The weather has turned So-Cal winter cold, with promise of rain in the next few months. What better way to celebrate the short days and cooler temperatures than cozying up with a warm bowl of delicious soup. Not just any soup. A soup that says love and comfort. A soup that may take a little time and creativity, but the hot, steaming finished meal is so well worth it! Every bite offers warmth and contentment. So skip the canned version and enjoy the decadence of homemade soup.

That Special Meal
GOURMET CLUB
by Linda L. Austin
I am the birthday dinner chef for my family, for the ten who live locally, at least. I enjoy the honor of preparing a special meal and having everyone together around my table. I always ask the honoree for a menu beforehand, and usually they are quick to tell me their choices. Even so, unless it is a definite recipe, I can experiment a bit with a new recipe. Often the sides are open for me to pick although one person asks for ambrosia each January. For entrÊe and dessert, however, I would like to please the birthday guest with a favorite. Aside from birthday dinners, this time of year suggests several dates for memorable meals. New Year’s celebrations offer an opportunity to be fancy with the meal, and Valentines is fast approaching. Distinctive recipes for meats, chicken, and seafood are plentiful, but sides can become mundane too quickly. I search for varieties with green beans, broccoli, squash, and potatoes. Brussel sprouts and cauliflower need a little disguise in our house. Herb-crusted Pork Roast, brined for a short time before layering the herb paste in the pocket, looks gourmet and satisfies the taste test. While the recipe may seem intimidating for the non-cook, if you take it in tiny steps, it is simple. The dish can be made ahead, except for the bread topping, and then baked at the last minute to keep it hot and juicy. Pair the roast with Apple Chutney for a treat, plus it, too, can be made ahead. I double the recipe because it keeps a while and is a nice accompaniment for other dishes and on ham sandwiches. The fresh ginger and cayenne pepper do give it a kick, so halve the pepper if you prefer mild. Corn Pudding is always a special treat even though it is simple and could be served more often. With frozen pie crusts, a homemade pie is not only no trouble but impressive and delicious. Chess Pie is familiar to all Southerners. Chocolate Chess Pie should become a favorite with everyone, if you like chocolate. It is rich; a sliver will add the final touch to a special meal for our special people. A dollop of whipped cream adds visual appeal and enhanced flavor.

Herb-Crusted Pork Roast
This was the best pork roast I had ever had: tender, moist, barely pink. Besides it looked impressive. My guests loved it, too. Use only fresh thyme. The roast can be brined, stuffed, and tied a day ahead, but do not make bread crumb topping until ready to use. Adapted from Cook’s Illustrated.
2 ½ - 3 pound center-cut pork loin roast Salt and pepper ¼ cup sugar 1 large slice hearty white sandwich bread, torn into pieces ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 medium shallot, minced ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus an additional 2 teaspoons 1/3 cup packed fresh parsley or basil leaves 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves or ½ teaspoon dried 1 large garlic clove, minced

Lightly score fat cap on pork, making ¼” crosshatch pattern. Cut pocket in long side of pork, cutting deep but not through pork. Dissolve salt and sugar in 2 quarts water in large container. Submerge roast; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Rinse roast under cold water and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 325º. Pulse bread in food processor until coarsely ground, about sixteen 1-second pulses. Transfer crumbs to medium bowl and add 2 tablespoons Parmesan, shallot, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Using fork, toss mixture until crumbs are evenly coated with oil. Add parsley or basil, thyme, garlic, remaining 6 tablespoons Parmesan, 3 tablespoons oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to nowempty food processor work bowl and process until smooth, about 12 1-second pulses.

Using scissors, snip and remove twine from roast. Discard twine. Spread remaining herb paste over roast and top with bread crumb mixture. Transfer baking sheet with roast to oven and cook until thickest part of roast registers 145º on instantread thermometer, 50 to 75 minutes. Remove roast from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Internal temperature should rise to 150º. Transfer roast to carving board, taking care not to squeeze juices out of pocket in roast. Cut roast in ½” slices. Serves 4 – 6.

What’s in Season?
Refreshing Grapefruits This large citrus tends to get a bad rap with its tart or bitter flavors. However, it is so high in vitamin C, potassium, lycopene, calcium, phosphorous and fiber that it helps the body fight fatigue, fever, diabetes, indigestion, urinary problems, excess acidity. It is also low in calories and helps suppress appetite. It might be time to take another look at the grapefruit.
More and more, grapefruits are being bred for a balance of the tart/sweet/bitter ratio. The old fashioned way of eating them out of the rind with a serrated spoon and sprinkling of sugar, has some competition. Try a sprinkle of salt instead of sugar. Try a drizzle of honey and broiling the tops. Add to a salad; it pairs beautifully with avocado and rosemary. Try dipping wedges in chocolate and then sprinkling with salt.
An easy way to eat: slice off the ends of a grapefruit, then standing on end, slice the peel in strips. Once peel is removed, divide wedges or slice. There are many varieties of grapefruits, ranging from deep Ruby Reds to blush pinks and pale white Oroblancos. The deeper the color of the flesh, the higher the amount of lycopene, the cancer fighting ingredient. Pinks are perfect for juicing. Reds tend to be sweeter. Whites are great for balancing flavors of other foods, such as in salads, salsa, desserts or drinks. Easy to shop for, look for smooth, thin skin on a firm, heavy fruit, grapefruits are easy to store. They keep up to week at room temperature and can be good up to three weeks in the fridge. *Grapefruits can interact negatively with certain types of drugs, check with your doctor.

FINANCE
2019 Economic and Market Jane M. Braun, CFP®, MSBA Certified Financial Planner™ Manning Wealth Management, Inc 619-237-9977
As the new year begins, we find ourselves in unfamiliar territory. Over the past several years, despite mounting worries about politics and other issues, the economy— and the stock market—have continued growing. In the first half of 2018, the markets were moving higher, albeit with a few breakdowns, and economic growth was accelerating. People were increasingly confident, believing the worst was behind us. It seemed we had finally found a safe place after the heartaches and losses of the financial crisis. Now, that story seems to be changing. Growth has slowed, and leading sectors—housing, in particular—appear to be rolling over. Spending growth has slowed as well, even though consumer and business confidence remain high. This slowing economic data has been accompanied by a decline in investor confidence, with an October market pullback that extended into November and December. The path ahead looks less clear than it did only a few months ago.
By the Numbers: 2019 Expectations • GDP Growth: 2%-2.5% • Inflation 2% • Federal Funds Rate: 3%-3.5% • 10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield 3.5%-4% • S&P 500 Index: 2,900-3,000
Although growth may be slowing, we are still growing. In fact, the most reliable leading indicators are signaling that we may keep doing so for the next several quarters— probably throughout 2019. When the fundamentals are solid, market volatility typically resolves quickly, as we
Page 56
Coronado Magazine - January
have seen several times before in this cycle. There are risks, of course, but they are more political than economic. And even the real political risks have not been as damaging as feared. Turmoil in Europe— from both Britain and Italy—has so far failed to derail markets. Likewise, the political turbulence here in the U.S. has not prevented markets from reaching new highs. Similarly, despite all the worries about tariffs, strong economic fundamentals have allowed us to sail through the market storms, and this is likely to continue to be the case. What, then, does this mean for the economy and markets in 2019? Economic growth. For the economy overall, things have slowed a bit since the start of 2018. Consumers are still spending, but businesses are investing less. Also, while government spending growth is likely to continue, it won’t accelerate, and trade is likely to be a drag. This should leave 2019 growth at around 2 percent to 2.5 percent on a real basis. Inflation and interest rates. Despite continued economic growth, inflation has remained moderate through 2018, and the most recent data suggests that it is unlikely to accelerate much further in 2019. Current levels are slightly above but generally consistent with what the Fed considers acceptable. With moderate inflation, the Fed is likely to keep raising rates in 2019 at the current steady pace. Expect one more increase in December 2018 and two to four more in 2019. Also, expect the Fed to continue reducing its asset base, now at a pace of $50 billion a month. Absent any surprises, the effects from higher rates and the unwinding of the balance sheet should be minimal, as they have been so far. Longer-term rates should also rise somewhat. Given stable growth and ongoing low inflation, the rate on the 10-year Treasury can be expected to drift up from
FINANCE
Outlook: Not a Bad Place to Be where it is now, to a level of around 3.5 percent to 4 percent by year-end 2019. The risk here is most likely to the downside, but this seems a reasonable target. Overall, monetary policy and interest rates should continue to normalize through the year. Stock markets. This normalization means that stock markets are likely to trade on fundamentals such as revenue and earnings growth. Here in the U.S., both revenue and earnings growth were much greater than expected at the start of the year due to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which reduced rates. While this is a trend that should stay moderate in 2019, revenue growth is expected to remain strong, at levels last seen in the immediate recovery from the financial crisis, which should support continued growth in earnings through 2019, at a slower but still healthy pace compared with 2018. With solid fundamentals, the real question will be what stock valuations do. Historically, high levels of confidence have driven valuations higher, which is what we have seen through most of 2018. Recently, however, valuations have dropped to the lower end of the range typical of the past five years or so. As confidence levels moderate and growth slows, we can expect valuations to remain at the lower end of that range. Given projected earnings growth and a resetting of valuations to levels prevailing through the past couple of years—to about 15 times forward earnings—the S&P 500 is likely to end 2019 between 2,900 and 3,000. There is upside potential if valuations recover to the high levels seen recently. But there may be more downside risk, as even a valuation of 15 is quite high historically. Still, this estimate is consistent with revenue and earnings growth projections and with overall economic growth.
What to watch for None of this is guaranteed, of course. Things to watch include the apparent slowdown in U.S. and global economic growth, as well as rising interest rates. On the political side, we’ll need to watch for potential investigations into the administration by the new Democrat-controlled House; the pending crises in Europe, including Brexit and Italy; and the situation with North Korea. Trade conflicts also have the potential to worsen. Even if some of these risks come to pass, though, with job growth and confidence high, the economy is likely to keep growing, which should limit any damage. Overall, 2019 seems likely to be in line with many years of this recovery, with slow but steady economic growth, moderate market appreciation, and more normalization across the board. Despite the headlines, this is not a bad place to be. Certain sections of this commentary contain forward-looking statements based on our reasonable expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

YOUR HOUSE
Revive Your Closet Space Closet space is at a premium in many homes, condos and apartments, especially in Coronado. Many older homes were not built to accommodate large wardrobes, while rental properties are often designed to maximize living space at the expense of storage. Closets vary depending on the size of the home, but many tend to be a minimum of 24 inches deep so they can store garments without the clothes brushing against the walls. Bedroom and hallway closets can be four feet in length or more. Walk-in closets are the largest options, but such spaces tend to only be available in modern homes or custom-built properties. It is not always practical or possible to undergo renovations to create more closet space. Apart from moving to a new residence, homeowners or renters must evaluate the space they have and make some more efficient choices in how they utilize available areas.

YOUR HOUSE
Create more closet space without major renovations
Clear Out Clutter
The first step to more closet space is to eliminate unused items. Clothing that no longer fits or items that can be stored elsewhere should be removed from the closet. Donate as much as possible. Some organizations will even pick up donations at your convenience. Once that is done, remove everything that is staying and clean out the whole area. Vacuum, sweep, dust the whole closet, top to bottom.
Create Storage for Small Items
Bookends, bins, boxes and drawers can be used to contain items that don’t easily conform to closets. These may be purses, scarves, ties, and more. Don’t overlook the possibilities of hanging items on the wall inside the closet or on the back of closet doors. When finishing closet makeovers, be sure to install lighting inside the closet so items are more visible.
Coronado Magazine - January Page 61
YOUR HOUSE
Stack Taller
Many closets are as tall as the ceilings of the rooms where they’re located. However, the upper area may go unused because it is not easy to reach. Install shelving above the closet rod with small swing-out style cabinet doors to offer access. In such areas, store seasonal items that you won’t need to reach for each day. Keep a step stool close by for easy accessibility. In small rooms, homeowners may want to find another way to utilize vertical space. A loft bed, which raises the bed up to a level where it might be on the top bunk of a bunk bed, will free up plenty of storage space beneath the bed. This can be turned into a floor closet.

Upgrade Hangers & Rods
Replace existing hangers with slimmer, more uniform alternatives that more easily fit into your closet. In addition, remove empty hangers, which are likely just taking up space. Consider dual closet rods if space will allow them. Hang the second rod below an area reserved for shorter clothing to achieve a two-tiered design. Grouping short items together also can free up valuable floor space. Page 62
