OPERATION HOMELIFE
by Krysta Murray
May is National Military Appreciation Month, in conjunction with May’s multiple days dedicated to honoring military members and their families. There are six national observances in the month of May. The first one is Loyalty Day, May 1, a day set aside to reflect the proud heritage of our American freedom. The first full week of May, beginning May 5, is Public Service Recognition Week, a weeklong celebration to those who serve our nation as federal, state, county and local government employees. During that week, May 8 is Victory Day in Europe Day, the day that in 1945 the Germans surrendered to Allied forces marking the end of World War II in Europe. Also that week, May 10 is Military Spouse Appreciation Day, a day to recognize the important role military spouses have in support of our armed forces. The third Saturday is Armed Forces Day, a day to observe every military member for their patriotic service in support of our country. This brings us to Memorial Day, a day commemorating the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice and died during their military service. Coronado Magazine

All this and I can tell you, many service members whom you thank for their service don’t know what to say. For the longest time my husband replied, “Just doing my job.” But that’s exactly the point. That job is no ordinary job. That job asks you to put duty first. To be willing to risk your life for your country. To fight for the rights of the entire nation, even the none-supporters. Because that’s a right, to have a choice, to have an opinion you can voice. But they get paid. Yes, they do. How much would you have to be paid in order to accept that job? Look up the salary and see if it’s anywhere near that amount. They chose it anyway. Many service members are also the sole income for the family. Military spouses often struggle to provide a second income due to frequent moves, lack of consistency in resumés and demand for their time to Page 8

accepting it and honored to be recognized.
They volunteered. Yes, they did. The United States ended the draft in 1973, and since then every service member comprises an all-volunteer force. Service members relocate frequently, deploy often and are even called away unexpectedly. They miss weddings and funerals, the births of their children and many more birthdays to follow. They undergo arduous duties, separations and encounter combat situations. They answer the call of duty, because somebody has to. This month is in recognition of those sacrifices. Of that bravery.
So when my husband would say “just doing my job,” I’d look at him and think exactly. You deserve to be credited for what that means.
There is no expectation of special treatment. That is often the misconception. More often than not they are surprised by the appreciation, gracious in
There is pride in what service members do. These appreciation days have been appointed to show service members why they deserve our thanks. To show them that they are the exception, and we realize that. The number of service members are less than .5 percent of the total population. Take note, service members, you are appreciated for your service. This month, these particular days, every day.

Blumenthal Insurance Services by Linda L. Austin
Bo Blumenthal was proclaimed Baby of the Decade for Coronado when he was born on January 12, 1980. His mother Lori was, also, born in Coronado at the small Navy hospital on North Island where her Navy pilot dad was stationed. Bo

pride being a Coronadan. Even in high school, he knew he wanted to someday settle his family here, so his children could experience the good life he had enjoyed in his youth. A third generation Blumenthal to call Coronado home, he took a circuitous route before establishing residence here, but his goal to return never diminished. His stints away at college only served to reinforce his attachment to his birthplace. After graduating from Coronado High School in 1998, he went to New Mexico State to play football; however, he soon realized college football was not for him. Continuously comparing life there to Coronado, also, contributed to his dissatisfaction. After a year he returned home and attended San Diego City College where he switched to baseball. He was subsequently recruited by UC Davis to play baseball. At Davis he found his fit, became a serious student, enjoyed the college town atmosphere, and welcomed contact with the numerous Coronado students attending college there. “It’s a great school. Everyone from here loved it.� Blumenthal graduated from UC Davis in 2003 with a major in Communications and minor in Political Science. He Coronado Magazine

intended for his career to include some aspect of sports: scout, coach, sports commentator in television or radio.

was headed.” Living in Hillcrest, coaching at CHS, and supplementing his salary by working in his dad’s business had fulfilled his desire to be involved in sports, but it was time to move on. Acknowledging he may eventually take over Blumenthal Insurance since “the time for Dad to retire was approaching,” he knew he needed to become more knowledgeable about the insurance
business. In the fall of 2007,
he moved the family to Phoenix to work for The Hartford Company, then after three years, they moved to Sacramento for two years. When asked to interview for a position in San Diego, Blumenthal thought his goal of returning to Coronado was becoming a reality. Although he was nearer Coronado, North County was not near enough. Experiencing “no community feel” and not able to coach Little League were disappointing aspects of his life. In 2015 his dad “was done with insurance.” He wanted to do something else, and the timing was right for his son

Two film festivals could not be more alike – or more different – than Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) and Boulder International Film Festival (BIFF). Doug St. Denis, CIFF founder and chairman, and I put on our investigative Doug St. Denis, right, and Kris Grant braved the elements to attend the Boulder International Film Festival, and loved every minute of it. Here they take a break between screenings outside the First Presbyterian Church at the Boulder International Film Festival.

decision to hit that trail this year. (Yes, film does influence lives!) The two festivals – BIFF and CIFF (don’t you love it?) – are both four days in length and feature a combination of narrative films, documentaries and shorts. Like Coronado’s five venues, BIFF also presents at multiple venues (four) throughout the city of Boulder and a fifth venue in the nearby town of Longmont. This year, it also added a second festival in Fort Collins the weekend after the main festival. Like Coronado, Boulder is filled with community pride, and their film festival is quite walkable, if you’re well bundled up, that is. We particularly enjoyed The Pearl Street pedestrian mall, where BIFF set up its “Talk Back” tents where they sold festival merchandise and hosted panel

filmmakers.
Another similarity is that Boulder is a fairly affluent city located next door to a much bigger metropolis, Denver, as is Coronado to San Diego. A week or so before we left, I checked the 10-day weather forecast for Boulder and noted that the average weather would be about 19 degrees, with snow predicted for three out of the four days we’d be there. Say what??? I then realized with a jolt that we had planned a trip to Colorado in the height of winter. Where it snows. A lot. Off I rushed to Macy’s to buy a winter coat. Lucky for me it was winter clearance time and I found a coat guaranteed to keep me warm down to 9 degrees. I also cast aside plans to rent a car, opting instead to shuttle from and back to the airport and to Uber about town. I’ve never used Uber, but Doug is a pro. Now I’m a new Uber convert – the drivers always arrived within five minutes (usually just two or three) and we’d exit the warm Embassy Suites hotel lobby and jump into a nicely warmed car, whose Page 18

opened in 1906 as Curran Opera House. Built by wealthy billboard sign company owner James Curran, the venue originally featured opera, musical productions and silent movies. In 1935 it was purchased by the Fox Theater Company, which created The Boulder Theater. As it stands today, the building, which has been designated a Colorado Historic Landmark, was designed in the art deco style of the day by Kansas City architect Robert Boller and had its opening night on Jan. 9, 1936. I can’t help comparing it to our Village Theatre, which opened in 1947 and was also designed in art deco style, with that art deco treatment retained and enhanced in its 2011 restoration. That project turned the former single screen theater into one main auditorium and two smaller screening rooms. The restoration was initiated and paid for by the City of Coronado, which teamed with Vintage Cinema’s CEO Lance Alspaugh, Emilio Estevez, center, receives the Vanguard Award from BIFF’s Executive Director Robin Beeck, left, with BIFF interviewer Ron Bostwick.

Chief among the stories is Martina and her 60-yearold mother, Tania, who embark on a six-month,

Confessions of a Perfect(ish) Mom And Then There Were Two...

PARENTING
“My kid ate a taquito off the floor at the UTC food court” is a comment I didn’t think possible before parenthood, yet here we are. Mind you this would have never happened to my daughter, my princess, my first born. Oh no, she had the mom that used a cart cover at every store, had every possible baby gadget imaginable, and went on daily walks to Spreckels Park. Now I know there are parents that continue these practices with every child, and I respect and admire that. I am just not that mom. By the time my son showed up, he got the second child treatment all the way. So when did the tides change? How can my parenting change so drastically between my two babies? Let’s discuss, shall we? My pregnancies were pretty similar in the sense that I am a rule follower through and through. I took my prenatal vitamins and stayed out of hot tubs. I avoided sushi, alcohol, soft cheese, basically everything delicious.
Page 26
Coronado Magazine
PARENTING
Quick detour now that I am discussing my pregnant eating habits, huge shout out to High Tide Pizza for the gallons of Greek dressing they provided for me to dunk my crust in the last few months of pregnancy. Good times I tell ya! Anyways, I saw the difference between my first and second almost immediately after they were born. When my daughter was born it was a hectic and traumatic time for me, I was completely shell shocked. I have been open about my difficult transition to motherhood, because I feel like even today it’s not talked about enough. Some might say I overshare. I like to think of it more as being an open book. No shame in my game guys! So when my son arrived it was the complete opposite. I bonded with him right away, left the hospital a day early and plopped his 9 1/2 pounds of love into his swing when we got home. That is the moment I can pinpoint when I realized things were going to be different, because that (secondhand) swing became his home base while I adapted to life as a mom of two.

PARENTING
I lovingly refer to Hunty as my errand boy, but he probably would prefer the title of sidekick or associate. Every day after we walk Sissy to school he asks if we are going to Target or Trader Joes. Long gone are the carefree days of music with Miss Jean and Mr Mike at the library. We are constantly on the go, trying to keep our ship afloat. After school he becomes president of Lux’s fan club, cheering her on at Coronado Academy of Dance or helping Coach Manny pick up balls at tennis. Somedays when I am feeling like supermom, we wagon up to Juice Crafters or Clayton’s for a smoothie or donut and head to the park. As much as I love those days, I have found that I equally love having my best guy to do the boring chores with. Nothing livens up a trip to Costco like a 2 year old jacked up on free samples! The mom guilt is definitely there (when is it not), but I do know that despite not having the first child activities and attention, he will be just fine. Multiple children bring so much joy and chaos and I wouldn’t have it any other way. So you may have the short end of the stick for now, but your time to shine will come soon enough. In the meantime, enjoy that mall floor taquito, kiddo. (See, I wasn’t too busy grocery shopping to build your immunity!)

The Meaning of Motherhood by Alessandra Selgi-Harrigan
“Mom” It’s the first word many of us learn to say. As little ones Mom means the world to us and we depend on her for everything. As we grow, the bond with our mothers continues and she is the one we share our good and bad times with. She is our best friend who loves us no matter what. She is our anchor - the person we can rely on throughout our lives. As women, we don’t always understand the bond that exists between a mother and child until one day we become a mother ourselves. From bringing home a newborn to seeing your child leave the nest, being a mother is definitely a life changing experience. In honor of Mother’s Day we asked local moms what being a mother means to them.
Heather Patino with Cynnie, age 6, and Del, 4 months.
“Motherhood came as a surprise for me, but I wouldn’t trade this amazing adventure for anything! “I am in awe of God’s gift everyday. My kids amaze me, enrich my life beyond measure, teach me more than I could ever hope to teach them, and they crack me up every day! There is nothing better!” Celestina Campo Ford Mother of Ronan and Isabelle Celestina Campo Ford with her children, Ronan, 16, and Isabelle, 12. Page 30
Coronado Magazine
I have always wanted to be a mother and feel so blessed to be the mom to three beautiful children. It is truly amazing how your heart expands to love each of them more than you could ever imagine.
Heather Patino, mother of Cynnie, Rocco and Del.
Heather Patino with Cynnie, age 6 and Rocco, age 3.
Three words come to mind when thinking of being a mother: blessing, gratitude, and privilege. A tiny hand, a baby smile, It lasts for such a little while. Before you know it Off they go. To learn, to play, And, oh, to grow. And one day soon They leave the nest; Confident, and eager, To do their best. Being there for all of this? Oh, not one day would I miss. And being Grammy is pretty sweet, too! Kathy McKinley Mother of Jenny and Kelly From left, Jenny, Kathy and Kelly. Coronado Magazine

I believe things should have order and lists are essential for everyday life. When my husband, Wayne and I, started our family we had clip boards with schedules for our kids eating, sleeping, active play, pretty much life in general. Fast forward 10 years and I still like a good schedule and organized family calendar but kids and life in general has taught me that not everything goes as planned and that I needed to relax and sometimes go with the flow. That’s not always easy. You can find me most days of the week either at Bradley Field cheering on Stanley at baseball, car pooling to Coronado Cays for Izzy’s soccer practice, volunteering at Village Elementary School in my kids’ classrooms and Coronado Little League, or at a Padres game supporting my husband’s job with Fox Sports San Diego.
Husband Wayne, son Stanley, 10 1/2, Kristen and Izzy, 7 1/2.
With all that being said, one of the most important things I’ve learned is the need to take care of myself and do what brings me joy in my life. I accomplish this by working out in the morning at Coronado Fitness Club, which also happens to be where I work weekday mornings, enjoying the sunshine, laughing, having fun and drinking wine with my friends. Also, make your marriage your first priority, taking time for date nights and laughing with your husband helps makes for a happy marriage and family. I love this fun and busy family life Wayne and I have created. We know they’ll be grown up before we know it so we try to soak up as many memories, laughs and smiles that we can. Kristen Duymon Mother of Stanley and Izzy
Motherhood has been a journey of joy amidst the chaos of family life. It has been filled will love, laughter, hugs, tantrums, and tears. It is a blessing and virtue builder. It is my greatest privilege and my most humbling. I had a fulfilling career, traveled the world, and yet nothing has rivaled the honor of my vocation as Mom. Shannon Lis, Mother of Abby, Sadie, Julianna and Sam

As a new mother, you cannot comprehend the magnitude of the responsibility lying in your arms. Genes are important in a person’s personality, no doubt, but the day-to-day contact with your child influences who he will be, the person he will become. The character, the values, the course of life are yet to be formed. As a mother, you are the first teacher, a dominant role model, an encourager, a comforter. We realize the impact we have on our children later, and then we wonder how we dared to want to be a mother. Linda L. Austin Mother of Jill, Paul and Dana
From left, husband Paul Austin, Linda L. Austin, daughter Jill Austin Chappano, son Paul Austin, Jr. and daughter Dana Austin Rounds.
It’s the best thing that ever happened to me. We started with one and I immediately fell in love. I felt like my heart was going to explode! We were blessed to have two more children. Having three children in 2 1/2 years was crazy, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I once remember a stranger telling me, “It’s about progress not perfection.” I live by these words every day!

To get that perfect image, it took planning and manpower. Denise Lyon, from our At Home section, had seen an image and we agreed we wanted to recreate it for the Flower Show cover. We went to Root 75 and showed them what we were hoping to capture and the style of flowers we were looking for. When we went to pick up the arrangement, it took our breath away. They had designed the perfect floral arrangement. It was stunning. (Thank you, Root 75.) Meanwhile, Denise took acrylic paint to canvas and came up with an amazing back drop for the photo shoot. When we put it all together, the colors blended beautifully and our lighting was sublime. It was hard to stop taking pictures!

This spring you can celebrate Mother’s Day with a few little luxuries, like breakfast in bed or an easy picnic in a nearby park or your own backyard. Lay out a picnic blanket in a sunny place and serve sandwiches (like muffuletta) that get better when made the day before.

Coronado Magazine
Mother’s Day is my favorite of all the May holidays, because mothers are about love.The second Sunday in May is a wonderful time to say thank you to our mothers for all they do for us from thousands of homemade dinners to endless driving and, of course, worrying. Their love for us remains a constant.
Coronado Magazine
Page 37
Even the ancient Greeks honored their mothers with spring festivals. Though we have been celebrating mothers for centuries, it was made an official holiday in 1914 by Woodrow Wilson. Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be just about your mom. You can shower Grandma, an aunt, special friend or neighbor with a handmade gift and card.
Later in the day you can serve tea with delicate macarons that are made in a rainbow of colors and flavors. (Pictured are Earl Gray Macarons) Berries are at their peak this time of year. Add a few for color and taste. Page 38
Coronado Magazine
You don’t have to go to a crowded restaurant or busy flower shop to make Mother’s Day special. You can make something as easy as pancakes with fresh berries, or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut into fun shapes.
Wishing all of you mothers a beautiful day and thank you for all the love and hard work. Coronado Magazine

Muffuletta
This recipe says to wait an hour to eat, however, if you make it the night before, it is even better. Be sure to hollow out the bread so the salad can fit inside. Doing so also cuts carbs and calories. Olive Salad: 1 cup each pitted green and black olives, coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon tiny capers 1/3 cup diced (1/4 inch) roasted red bell pepper 1/4 cup diced (1/4 inch) celery, with leaves 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley 2 teaspoons finely minced garlic 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste Sandwich: 1 round peasant bread (about 7 inches in diameter, 5 inches high), halved crosswise, insides pulled out, or a loaf of French bread hollowed out 4 ounces each thinly sliced Genoa salami and mortadella (found in the deli section) 4 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese Prepare the Olive Salad ahead of time: Combine all the ingredients and set aside in the refrigerator for 4 hours or longer. Assemble the sandwich: Spread half of the Olive Salad on the bottom half of the bread. Layer with salami, provolone and mortadella, then top with the remaining Olive Salad. Cover with the top of the bread, press down and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Wrap the sandwich in plastic wrap and let stand for 1 hour. Unwrap, cut into 6 wedges using a serrated knife, then wrap them for the road. Recipe adapted from Epicurious.
Perfect Pancakes
The Perfect Homemade Pancake Recipe is easy to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand. This recipe can easily be turned into a pancake mix or into buttermilk pancakes as well. It’s the perfect versatile all-in-one recipe. Another pancake option is to buy a box of pancake mix. The pancakes are delicious and easy to prepare. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk or buttermilk 2 large eggs 1/4 cup melted butter In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in milk, eggs, and melted butter just until combined. Preheat a flat griddle over medium-high heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto griddle. Let pancakes cook until bubbles form then flip over. Cook other side until golden brown. Serve hot with syrup or fresh fruit. Makes 12 pancakes.

Mangos!
What’s in Season? Sometimes called the “apple of the tropics,” mangos are grown right here in California. While native to southern Asia, mangos were brought to California in 1880 and the love affair with this juicy fruit continues. Mangos offer the colors and scent of summer and are the perfect addition to salads, salsas, smoothies and more. Shades of green, yellow, orange and red can be seen on the many varieties of mangos, but the inside color is almost always a sunny yellow gold. Mangos have amazing benefits to pass along. They are filled with the antioxidant zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, vitamin A, C and K, high in fiber and potassium, along with copper, calcium and iron. Think added protection for your eyes, bones, heart, blood pressure, digestion, hair and skin. It’s peak season for many varieties of mangos. Due to different skin colors, color is not important when looking for a ripe mango and brown spots and freckles are normal. Instead, find a sweet smell emanating from the stem stub. A gentle squeeze should find the fruit giving and it is ready to eat. Mangos can be purchased before coming to full ripeness. Just set on the counter, stem down and cover with a dampened cloth to ripen. When it has hit the desired ripeness, refrigerate up to four days. And surprise - the skin is edible!

FINANCE
Planning Your Charitable
Giving for 2019 Now that the 2018 tax returns are filed, it’s time to evaluate what worked well for you financially in 2018 and whether you need to make any changes for 2019. As you do that, you’ll want to put together a plan for this year’s charitable giving.
A good place to start the process is to consider the following items: Review your donations for 2018 and how you made them. How much would you like to donate in 2019? Did you exceed the standard deduction and itemize your taxes for the 2018 tax year? Do you anticipate exceeding the standard deduction and itemizing your taxes for 2019? Are you age 70½ or older? Do you have an IRA or inherited IRA? Charitable giving strategies to consider Next, you’ll want to decide on a strategy for this year’s giving. Maybe one or multiple strategies can work together to create an effective plan to benefit your favorite charities. Below are several strategies to mull over.
Group your charitable contributions together.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 brought us a higher standard deduction. Unless you have enough deductions to itemize above the standard deduction threshold, you may not be able to deduct your charitable contributions. Therefore, in combination with other deductions, you might want to consider grouping multiple years of charitable contributions together into a single year to generate a deduction larger than the standard amount.
Contribute to a donor-advised fund (DAF).
If you are interested in grouping charitable deductions together but would prefer spreading the distributions to charities out over a period of years, a DAF may be an option for you. It is a charitable giving vehicle that allows you
Page 44
Coronado Magazine
Presented by Jane Braun, CFP® to contribute as frequently as you desire and to recommend grants to your favorite charities from your fund. It can also be used to create a pool of money that will encourage giving by your family for generations to come. A DAF is established through a public charity, so you can receive an immediate charitable tax deduction when you exceed the standard deduction threshold and itemize taxes. With the 2017 tax law, charitable deductions are limited to 60 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI) for cash gifts to the DAF or 30 percent of AGI for long-term appreciated assets (e.g., stock) to the DAF. Please note: You can also avoid capital gain taxes on gifts of appreciated assets to the DAF.
Donate appreciated assets directly to charities.
If you have stock or another asset that has increased in value over the years, you can gift the appreciated asset directly to a charity. Gifting appreciated assets directly may avoid the inconvenience of selling the assets, as well as the realization of a taxable gain. In addition, the gifted assets may qualify for a charitable deduction if you exceed the standard deduction threshold and itemize your taxes. Charitable deductions are limited to 30 percent of AGI for long-term appreciated assets (e.g., stock) gifted to a public charity.
Consider a qualified charitable distribution (QCD).
If you are 70½ or older and have an IRA or inherited IRA, you may contribute up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a 501(c)(3) qualified charity without having to include that distribution as income. The QCD can go to a single charity or to a variety of charities.
You can make multiple QCDs if the total of all your distributions stays within the $100,000 annual limit. In addition, the distribution may be counted as your annual IRA required minimum distribution. Also, it doesn’t matter whether or not you itemize deductions for taxes because a QCD is not eligible as a charitable deduction. These are just a few of the strategies that may be available to you. As always, before making any decisions, a best practice is to consult your financial advisor and a tax professional. This material has been provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute either tax or legal advice. Although we go to great lengths to be sure our information is accurate and useful, we recommend that you consult a tax preparer, professional tax advisor, or lawyer.

DISCOVER
Mother’s Day 2019
by Kel Casey Moms. Most of us have loved and been loved by a mom. Unconditionally. Yes, it can be painful, awkward, and even ugly at times, but nonetheless, it’s unconditional. Moms give up a lot. Sleep. Sanity. Going to the bathroom alone. Big stuff. So what are we doing on May 12 to show our appreciation to the women who shape us, guide us, teach us and hold us accountable every day? As moms, we have one day. It hardly seems fair—a week or season seems more appropriate, really. But, I’m not in charge of the calendar, so we’ve got one day. We need to make the most of it. Here are some ideas how.
Coronado Magazine
Page 47
It’s Mother’s Day morning. You could make her breakfast in bed, but I must confess that even though that seems like a relaxing idea, trying to drink coffee while avoiding toast crumbs and strawberry jam falling onto my sheets is not how I’d want to start my day, but that could just be me. Another option: Offer to make mom’s bed for her, and while she’s in the shower (or pulling on her raggedy sweats, because maybe she doesn’t want to shower—it is her day, after all), run down to Clayton’s and grab her a slice of apple pie and a coffee. After that’s all packaged up, don’t just go home and drop the box in front of her. Before even heading home, stop at the Coronado Flower Lady across the street and create your own arrangement, or just select a single sunflower. Then take it home, put that pie on a pretty plate, stick the flowers in a vase, and lead mom to the table. Trust me, she will love this more than a bed full of crumbs.
Page 48
Coronado Magazine
Of course a mom might appreciate a little gift along with her pie. Thankfully, there is no shortage of shops in town that offer lovely gifts at affordable prices. Seaside Papery offers much more than quality stationery. They also carry a large variety of fun books, handmade jewelry, and colorful décor. You can pick out a special card for her here as well. Just next door to Seaside Papery is Charisma, where you’ll find beachy, Coronado-themed art and gifts, creative photo frames, candles, and ornaments. If you haven’t found your treasure yet, you still have options! Adorn and Fair Trade Décor offer gorgeous gifts, including scarves, perfumes, blank journals, and handmade baskets and pottery. If Mom is a book worm, Bay Books is your place. They have a superb selection of travel and cooking books, and the helpful staff is always willing to provide a recommendation. Of course handing a gift and a slice of pie to Mom doesn’t mean you’re done. Don’t turn on the TV just yet. The whole day belongs to Mom. Mom needs to eat lunch and dinner. Pie alone will not suffice. Mom needs wine and pampering. Mom needs entertainment. No need to panic, though. All of that is probably within walking distance. I might recommend continuing the day with a stroll around the library grounds and Spreckels Park. The library’s rose gardens are some of the most gorgeous in town, and both sites have dozens of spectacular trees. King Palms, Queen Palms, carob, gum and magnolias are just a few of the specimens you and mom can marvel at on your leisurely (and free!) walk.
Coronado Magazine
Page 49
By now, Mom might be needing a break. Just past Spreckels on Orange Avenue is Night and Day Café, which is where I head when I’m in need of a restorative plate of carne asada fries. If that’s not Mom’s jam, not far off of Orange is Nado Republic, where the mom in your life can cozy up on a shabby chic couch, sip a glass of pino grigio, and enjoy a caprese salad. It’s pretty and secluded. Moms appreciate this. Beverages and noshes are also found at Wine A Bit, which is perfect for people watching as well as wine tastings. After all of that walking and dining, Mom is probably ready for that pampering part of her day. Of course you will have called in advance and made an appointment for a pedicure at one of many salons in town, right? Roses, Be Polished, and Coronado Beauty Lounge are just a few of the area salons that offer spa services.
Finally, assuming mom has any energy left, she might enjoy taking in a movie at Village Theatre. Though the Village movie schedule for Mother’s Day was not available at press time, I might be inclined to avoid taking her to something like “Hellboy,” and instead sticking with the more motherly themed “Dumbo.” Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms!

Chesterton “Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.” Theodore Roosevelt “Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay.” Barack Obama “Without memory, there is no culture.

For A Reel Good Time by Brooke Clifford
There’s something about seeing a movie on the big screen that can’t be replicated in a small screen viewing. It’s that moment when you’re pulled so completely into the story, be it a defining line, a kiss, a pivotal action, that there’s hardly a separation between the action playing out in front of you and reality. The dark room, the surround sound…when you go to see a movie at the theater, you’re asked to forget about the world around you – if only for a few hours – and join the characters on the other side of the screen in an adventure. While seeing a movie with a full audience can risk unwanted interruptions, I’d wager it’s worth the risk every time. When everyone gasps at the same heartgripping moment of revelation, laughs whole-heartedly at a moment or line that was just too good, or sniffles because their heart is breaking right there alongside yours, going to the theater becomes a shared experience that simply can’t be replaced. For starters, there’s intent. When you’re going to see a movie in the theater, you’re dedicating your focus solely on the film. The same can’t be said of viewing a movie at home where a thousand things are already on your mind and distractions of all kinds don’t mind interrupting. (Yes, you are definitely going to check that text message if you’re at home.) Add to that the setting of the theater – large screen, surround sound, dark room – and you’re not likely to let your attention waiver. You’re ready for an experience and the theater is ready to provide you with one. Sit back and enjoy the show. There truly is no replacement for the big screen when it comes to the way dazzling visual effects and brilliant filming and
directing then pull you into a story and offer a higher emotional response. Maybe you remember how you felt when a black and white film suddenly broke out into vivid color in “The Wizard of Oz,” or gripping the arms of your seat as the Millennium Falcon jumped to hyper speed in “Star Wars” for the first time. Sitting in your seat, surrounded by crisp, booming audio, you’re hit with the full effect of music and sound which serve to further provoke emotional responses, make connections with overarching themes, and tie an entire movie together. Think back to those opening sounds of “The Lion King” as a brilliant sun rises over an African landscape or the “Titanic” theme accompanying Rose as she walks among the passengers of the ship one last time at the end of the movie. Imagine “Dunkirk” without the sounds of the planes, ocean, and bullets placing us right there with the soldiers on that beach in World War II, or “Jurassic Park” without it’s mighty prehistoric sounds, or “WALL-E,” a dialogue-scarce movie, without it’s uniquely emotional robotic sounds to punctuate the drama of what’s happening on screen. It’s easy to miss the nuances of great sound design in a small-screen, small-sound setting. Then there’s shared experiences. As people we love experiencing things as a group. Think about the entertainment you like to consume, whether it’s going to concerts, plays, sporting events … now think about how different those would be experienced on their own. Listening to music on your own or watching sports on TV at home is a vastly different kind of experience than going to the live event, or

Movie-going tips: • Matinees are usually about half the price, sometimes even less, of a regular movie ticket. If cash is tight or you’re trying to take the whole family, consider catching a showing before noon. • Miss seeing older movies on the big screen? Look for the Coronado Island Film Festival monthly Classic Movie Series, showcasing a classic film on the last Friday of the month at 5 p.m. at the Village Theatre. • Check the online ticket-selling website, Fandango, for special screening events. They regularly partner with theaters to host showings of classic films across all genres, as well as recorded live performances of plays, concerts, and more. • Are you an avid movie-goer? You may want to look into a theater membership or similar apps that offer discounts and rewards to members – AMC currently offers $5 tickets on Tuesdays to members.
