Taking To The Coronado Skies On The Fourth U.S. Navy Leap Frogs

The U.S Navy’s parachute team, the Leap Frogs, will perform their popular aerial demonstration at this year’s Coronado 4th of July celebration. The demonstration event, which is one of the highlights of the celebration, will take place at the Coronado Golf Course on the 17th fairway at 2pm.

Based out of San Diego, California, the Leap Frogs parachute demonstration team is made up of active duty Navy Seals, Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) and support personnel. The elite and select group has a very limited membership and takes only the most experienced and able free fall jumpers. Each member on the team has carried out real world operations in advance of volunteering to join the Leap Frogs.

Many of the Leap Frogs are local to the area, including Petty Officer 1st Class Cory Hager. “Our team is based out of NAB Coronado. I was born and raised in San Diego myself, after completing training I was stationed at a west coast based team. And have been here my whole naval career,” he said. For some of the guys on the team who grew up in the area, jumping into Coronado for the 4th of July is extra special. “I love being able to give back to the community,” shared Hager. Hager has been

in the Navy for almost 12 years and has been a member of the Leap Frogs for about three and a half years.

The U.S. Navy’s Parachute Team was founded in 1969 when members of both the Navy Seals and Underwater Demolition teams volunteered to participate in air shows. The name “Leap Frogs” was officially changed from “The U.S. Navy Parachute Team” in 1974 by the Chief of Naval Operations.

The jumps range from 12,500 feet and higher, and each member has a colored smoke canister attached to their leg that allows viewers to spot them even from the highest of heights.

While it’s possible to view the parachutes from on or near the golf course, or on or surrounding Glorietta Bay, the best place to see the action landing is right on the golf course, which is open to the public. If you plan on attending the aerial demonstration this 4th of July and want an extra special view of the elite jumpers, make sure to bring your binoculars.

MLK, Jr. Day; Presidents Day; Patriots Day; Armed Forces Day; Memorial Day; Flag Day; Juneteenth; Independence Day; Labor Day; Patriot Day; Indigenous Peoples Day; and Veterans Day — all these and the occasional special event warrant recognition. Volunteers from the Rotary Club hand-place all 180 flags early in the morning and remove them before dusk.

This Drink Is The Bomb (Pop)

By Christine Johnson

When I think back to my childhood, I remember Fourth of July being a fun weekend of celebration, barbecues, fireworks, and of course sparklers for the kiddos. I used to love the imagination simple sparklers could ignite in me and my friends. Waving the wand around and seeing the bright colors and writing our names in lights. Ahhh… the days of an innocent childhood.

I am proud to say we continued those traditions when we had my daughter. She has always enjoyed the images of the red, white, and blue, fireworks in the sky, and planning a gathering of friends to celebrate our country’s independence. Is there anything better than hot dogs, hamburgers, beer, and potato salad? No matter where we call home, neighbors come together and enjoy this special day of patriotism, thanks to our founding fathers and those who continue to serve our country. But is there any place better than Coronado to celebrate July Fourth?

My family has been privileged to enjoy this island now for over 15 years. The summer day I look forward to the most is July Fourth. Even the weeks leading up to the holiday are filled with planning the perfect house decorations. Adding colors to bicycles and golf carts, and making sure we display the red, white and blue through shirts, hats and funky sunglasses. I remember the first Fourth we were here, and I saw people decorating their homes weeks in advance of the big day. I started to panic and immedi-

ately ran to the store to add to our already large collection of Fourth of July décor. For the record, our community is not about displaying the flag and colors just to be the biggest and brightest, Coronado is about the true symbol behind these displays. We are proud to live in a military town where our neighbors serve our country. Where we can help families when someone is on assignment and make plans to honor them when they return home.

Symbols of the great U.S. of A. are all over Coronado from the base to the shipyards, military businesses in town, and those we see in uniform grabbing a coffee as we thank them for their service.

So, whether you are visiting Coronado this July Fourth, or lucky enough to live here every July Fourth, make time in your schedule to attend all events you can on this day. I challenge you to not cry as you sit at the parade and watch our men and women in uniform, or the oldest living military hero driving by in a classic car. Even the inflatable Midway brings a tear to my eye because it reminds us of honor and sacrifice. It is a day filled with spirit, love and all that is good about Coronado and the United States of America. The committee that puts this event together works tirelessly to make it perfect – so thanks to them for always getting it right.

With a very special day, we need a special drink. One the adults and the kids can have fun with. Display your red, white, and blue proudly with the BOMB POP.

Powerful Papaya!

Carica papaya, more commonly know as just papaya, is a sweet and soft succulent fruit. Many describe the flavor as a perfect blend of mango, banana, and peach. Papaya has unique and often acquired taste that is mild enough to be used in a multitude of recipes. The seeds within each papaya are also edible, but contain a much more bitter flavor than the fruit itself.

Papaya is low in calories, saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. The fruit is also high in Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C in which it offers around half of the percent of daily recommended value. Papayas are also high in fiber, which is thought to reduce the risk of heart disease and lower cholesterol levels. The fruit also contains papain and chymopapain, enzymes which aid in digestion and reduce inflammation.

Papayas originated in Central America, where Indigenous people ate them and also used them medicinally. Papayas grow and flourish best in tropical environments, needing plenty of rain and warmer temperatures. Spanish and Portuguese colonizers carried papaya seeds around the globe to many tropical locations where they still grow today, including India, Hawaii, the Philippines, Australia and some tropical regions in Africa.

While many may know how to utilize papaya in dessert recipes, such as ice creams, shakes, and smoothies, they are often prepared in savory dishes as well. Papaya can be grilled to top a salad, combined with peppers and mango to create a fresh salsa, cooked into a warm curry, added to skewers, used in a chicken stir-fry, or even cut in half and used as a bowl for any number of delicious breakfast toppings.

No matter how you choose to enjoy your papaya this July, it is sure to be nutritious and above all else—delicious!

By Hattie Foote

Hello sweet summer, we have been waiting for you! May gray and June gloom, be gone! Just a few weeks ago I was at the end of year open house and my kids were so proud to show me everything they had been working on all year. My son showed huge progression in kindergarten from the beginning of the year, he had learned to write his name in a sensible size, drew a few questionable pictures and some masterpieces, and even learned some Spanish along the way! My daughter really discovered her passion for reading (my bookworm heart was beaming) and started math that had me googling how to solve the problems. My dad was a brilliant mathematician and I resent the fact I was not passed down any of those genes. I can’t tell you how many times my husband Chris and I asked each other what parents did before the internet, because some of that homework had us sweating! One project the kids worked on stood out to me and inspired this month’s column. The class studied Coronado history and wrote reports about what they learned, and they were incredible, hysterical, and so pure. I thought what better guide to a Coronado summer, than a group of local experts?

Hi! I’m Lux, and some of you may know me or maybe not. As you may know, we are writing about our community, Coronado! My class got interviewed (by my mom) and are going to say some things that they love about Coronado, but first, let me tell you why Coronado is special! Here are some fun facts about Coronado: Imagine this, you are in the 1940’s and you needed to go to San Diego. Well, the bridge was not built until the 60’s. So, you had to take the Ferry! The Ferry was built to hold 600 cars and 600 people, it would take you over the bay near by Petco Park! It’s funny, now we take the Ferry to go to Padres games! We say Nado For Machado! My favorite restaurant on the island is Saiko Sushi it’s the BEST, their miso soup is a must have. My brother loves Garage Buona Forchetta, he eats so much it’s so funny. Holland’s Bicycles is my favorite

because I can torture my dad to get me a new bike. (Still have not gotten the bike!) Let’s hear from my classmates!

I asked Rise Cooley’s third grade class for some recommendations, but fair warning if you are looking for exotic cuisine suggestions this in not the group to ask. If you are craving burgers, pizza, and dessert, then they have you covered! Gavin likes to start his morning at Starbucks, while Lux is headed straight to the new Better Buzz Coffee. Zoe loves Night and Day Café for breakfast with her dad. Luke loves Coronado Brewing Company and Ashton thinks Village Pizza is perfect to grab and eat at the beach. Lucy says the Tavern is the perfect date night spot. Hayes loves Moo Time or Gelato Paradiso for a sweet treat, while Pippa says Claytons is her dessert go to. Megumi and Nicole can’t get enough of the gummy sushi at Fuzziwigs Candy Shop, Isabella thinks a hamburger and fries at The Henry are the perfect fancy night out, while Jack

loves the chicken strips and fries there after a long day playing baseball. Still speaking of hamburgers, Curran loves Burger Lounge after a day at the beach. Max can’t choose a favorite because “they are all good.”

Paul had some advice for Concert in the Park, “I would say bring a blanket, football, and cooler for drinks and snacks. It’s crowded so stay by your area, so you don’t get lost.” Speaking of parks, James loves Spreckels because of the playground and grass area. William says, “I like to play baseball at one of the small parks, like Star Park or Sunset Park, and they are good places to watch the sunset. There are always a bunch of friendly neighbors outside.” Chris thinks bikes are the best way to get around town and Alejandro recommends the Hotel del Coronado for a walk around the beach and getting ice

cream. Liv’s go to shopping is Gepettos and Francais and Evie loves long walks around town. If you want a change of scenery Molly says to check out The Midway or La Jolla to see the leopard sharks in August. Sadly Charlie is moving to Japan this summer and he said “I’m going to miss baseball and my friends.” To sum it up, Elizabeth said “Coronado is special because in a lot of places there is a lot of trash, but like if you look around Coronado people take really good care of it, and I think that’s nice.”

There you have it, straight from the horses mouth, these kids know how to live. I hope you take some of this advice and have a footloose and fancy free summer! Have a wonderful Fourth of July and enjoy some downtime!

Sara Rowe

The 4th of July parade passes in front of the Coronado Public Library in a scene painted for the cover of the 2003 Coronado Directory and Guide by Sara Rowe, a beloved artist from Coronado. She has left behind a rich artistic legacy since her passing in 2011. Sara's life was defined by her profound talent, her unwavering dedication to the arts and her love of Coronado.

Sara's artistic journey began at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Kansas, where she earned her degree During her time there, she was recognized as an outstanding student in design during her senior year. Following her studies, Sara married John Mark Tiderman, a Navy lieutenant, in 1956 The couple embarked on various Navy assignments before tragedy struck in 1966 when John was shot down and killed off the coast of Vietnam while serving on the USS Enterprise.

Sara remained in Coronado and in 1980, she found love once again when she married longtime resident Lionel Rowe. It was during her years in Coronado that Sara's artistic talents truly flourished She became renowned in the San Diego area for her remarkable watercolor paintings, capturing the local landmarks with a vibrant and enchanting touch. Sara's paintings resonated with the community, as she had a remarkable ability to paint scenes that people could relate to and find joy in. Her dedication to pleasing her audience inspired and rejuvenated her artistic abilities.

Her artwork was commissioned for the limited 250-edition book, "The Enchanted Island," which included an original watercolor depicting scenes of Coronado inserted into each copy Her art took the national stage when the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. displayed her artwork for a political art exhibit in 1996. Her exceptional skills earned her numerous awards, and her paintings were produced into prints and note cards, bringing her art to a wider audience. In 2015 Sara's husband Lionel generously donated prints and cards to the Cultural Arts Commission Proceeds from the sales of those items funded the first website promoting and supporting the arts in CoronadoCoronadoARTS.com.

Sara Rowe's profound artistic talent and unwavering dedication to her craft will forever be remembered Her paintings captured the beauty of Coronado and brought joy to all who admired them. She leaves behind a lasting legacy that continues to inspire and uplift those who encounter her art.

Sue Tushingham McNary

This painting of Coronado's Tent City is displayed in the Coronado Public Library Spreckels Reading Room. Tent City was located adjacent to the Hotel del Coronado and lasted from 1902 until 1939 This scene was painted by Sue Tushingham McNary (1937 - 2020) who was well known for her scenes of Coronado and the San Diego region. The original painting was acquired directly from her by Merlyn and Eleanor McIntyre and gifted in January 1996 to the Coronado Public Library Collection

Suzann "Sue" Till Tushingham was born in New Jersey in 1937. She began formal art training in Collingswood, New Jersey, when she was nine years old. Sue took art classes in high school and earned an art degree from Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri. She spent one year of intensive art training at Michigan State University. Following college, she married Bill McNary, a young United States Navy officer, and, as military families do, they made frequent moves but through the moves and the birth

of two boys Sue kept up her art and eventually established a solid artistic reputation during the three years she lived in Brooklyn, New York.

Sue and her family arrived in Coronado in August 1972. In 1983, she opened the Sue Tushingham McNary Art Gallery in the historic Hotel del Coronado. For 15 years, she sold her art to clients from all over the world, including Prince Charles and Dick Van Dyke. She was commissioned to do original artwork for the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Hotel del Coronado, San Diego Gas & Electric, Coronado Municipal Golf Course, Bank of America, Coronado Public Library, Mercy Hospital, Coronado Village Elementary School, and U S Navy ships and shore commands

In 2015 the Cultural Arts Commission collaborated with Sue and hosted an exhibition of her works at the Coronado Public Library. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were donated to the City of Coronado to support the Cultural Arts Commission visual arts programs

"Tent City" Oil Painting by Sue Tushingham McNary

Donal Hord

A short walk from the Coronado Public Library, on 7th Street just past D Avenue, the Coronado High School Science Building displays "The Legend of California." Seven architectural panels of Indiana limestone that depict the mythical Amazonian Queen Calafia, after whom California was named, and the various ethnic groups that have made up the population of the state

The work was Donal Hord's vision of the founding of California. Hord (1902 – 1966), was an American sculptor. This project was a depression era project by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Coronado applied to the program to add decorative architectural panels to the exterior of a new school library building and Donal Hord was selected to implement the project.

In 1941 the panels were installed in the niches designed for them in the exterior streetfacing wall of the 1938 library building. Even though Coronado High School was demolished in 1960 and 2005 to make way for new school construction, the 1938 library building was restored and now serves as the science building and the artwork remains. The dedication for the artwork was held in February 1941, Coronadans spoke highly of Hord’s work as a “lasting value to Coronado” and a “permanent contribution to the community’s art resources.” The final dedication speaker that morning reflected on Hord’s broader goals: “to recapture the colorful centuries of a golden past and to bequeath to us and to the generations behind us, a record which cannot be valued, and which will remain in Coronado centuries after this brief ceremony.”

John Seward Johnson II

The “Naked Warrior,” by sculptor John Seward Johnson II, is a Navy combat swimmer wearing shorts, fins and a face mask. The Coronado City Council accepted the statue as a gift from the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida in 2015 The statue honors all maritime commando units that have provided the skills and support found in today’s U.S. Navy SEAL teams.

The City constructed the statue’s base and installed the landscaping at the site, which is near the Glorietta Bay Boat Launch Ramp Site preparation and installation was approximately $70,000. The Navy SEAL Foundation contributed $25,000 toward the project. The dedication ceremony coincided with Veterans Day 2016 and attracted nearly 1000 people to Glorietta Bay Park including many from the U.S. Navy community. Nicknamed "Naked Warriors” for their lack of clothing and equipment, these frogmen would swim into enemy waters from far offshore without weapons or support to

reconnoiter defended beaches They would return with explosives to destroy any obstacles they found that might impede Allied amphibious landings. The statue is approximately six feet tall and mounted on a twofoot “horned scully,” a type of boat obstacle that was placed on beaches to prevent Allied amphibious landings.

The artist is John Seward Johnson II, a grandson of the co-founder of Johnson & Johnson He passed away in 2020 but knew of the installation of this statue in Coronado and was in communication with the Cultural Arts Commission in 2016. He also is the artist of the large sculpture adjacent to the Midway Museum "Unconditional Surrender "

There are three additional “Naked Warrior” statues installed in the U.S., in Fort Pierce, Florida, Virginia Beach, Virginia and Waimanalo Beach in Hawaii. This sculpture is the only monument commemorating U S Navy SEALs and their unique culture, history and connection to Coronado.

"First Ashore - Naked Warrior" - John Seward Johnson, II Gift from the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum

Meet Me In The Middle

“The median. It runs 12 blocks by 18 feet. It was once lined with orange trees, hence the name, Orange Avenue. The rats found it too the delicious and the pest-ravaged young orange trees were soon replaced with more durable palm trees and railroad tracks. Now, on July Fourth weekend, the median strip is filled with tens of thousands of locals and visitors, eager to see the parade and celebrate the Fourth of July… As former football great Mike Ditka once said, ‘If you’re not in the parade, you watch the parade.’ And so it is…”

Happy Fourth of July to you, Coronado… Live long and median on!

Island Icon: Kelly Purvis

By Lilly Adams, CHA Intern

Take a stroll down Orange Avenue, maybe find yourself a seat by the fountain, and just take a moment to listen to your surroundings. You may be lucky enough to catch a sweet tune coming from a piano. A piano? In a public space? Ask anyone outside of Coronado about their thoughts on public pianos, I guarantee that the concept is unheard of. This is just one of the many wonderful additions that Kelly Purvis has supported through her work with the Coronado Cultural Arts Commission.

Born in Freemont, Nebraska in the 1960s, Kelly grew up in a small, rural town with her parents, older sister Denise, and younger brother Kurt. Kelly’s great grandfather and grandfather were farmers, and Kelly occasionally worked in the fields, de-tasseling corn or hoeing beans, for local farmers in her community. Her favorite memories growing up were of Sunday dinners with her grandparents on the farm and working in the fields with the crops they grew. These simple times made the move to Las Vegas dramatic. Kelly went from mid-western girl to city girl in the middle of her high school years. Although the change was shocking, it set Kelly up for a future she never would have previously imagined. She met her lifelong best friend Beth Mills there, whose grandfather was the inventor of slot machines. Kelly recalled her friend’s license plate being named “SLOTS” and believes that that relationship provided her with an interesting perspective of Vegas. By what Kelly considers to be “good fortune” the Dean of Admissions at USC

frequently traveled to Las Vegas and ended up recruiting her for the school. Granted a full-ride trustee scholarship, Kelly studied political science at the university. This was where she met her husband Jim, whom she married two years out of college. Kelly has three children; William, Amanda, and Claire, all of whom attended USC because as she quotes her son William, “Why go anywhere else? Look how happy you and dad are.” Kelly has stayed connected with USC by having past and present involvement with the Trojan League, as a recruiter for the university, serving on the Board of

Governors, and supporting the creation of a scholarship for Coronado High School students interested in the school.

Out of college, Kelly moved from Los Angeles to San Diego. She began by working on political fundraising campaigns for Dorsee Productions where she learned many skills in that field. She believes this is what set her up to start working on campaigns for Coronado’s political leaders such as Tom Smisek, Chuck Marks, Mona Wilson, Patty Schmidt, and Casey Tanaka. Fundraising work has always been a passion of Kelly’s. In 1997, Kelly became the first

All Photos Courtesy of Kelly Purvis

Developmental Director at the Coronado Historical Association (CHA) in hopes to raise more money for the organization and their mission to preserve Coronado’s history. At the time of her involvement, CHA had not yet acquired its current building at 1100 Orange Avenue. Her most notable work as the Developmental Director was creating the Spreckels Society, which became the major contributor to the CHA fund.

Kelly was (and still is) extremely passionate about the preservation of Coronado’s history. Since moving to Coronado in 1987, she has lived in a 1908 Craftsman Home and cannot imagine living anywhere else. She dreams of getting her home historically designated but states that she is like a “cobbler with shoeless children” and seeks to do more work on the home before then.

A firm believer in the preservation of Coronado, Kelly was one of the proponents who sponsored the 2006 ballot initiative Prop J to prevent the splitting of lots in the R1B Zone. This proposition was overturned, but this did not stop Kelly from

her mission to preserve Coronado’s unique culture. As a City of Coronado employee, Kelly currently serves as the staff support for the Coronado Cultural Arts Commission. This job is what has allowed Coronado to have beautiful artwork around town. Some of Kelly’s favorite pieces include “Hand-Stand” which is located at the Community Center, “Penelope” by the bayside, and “The Knot” near City Hall. All of these art pieces were brought to Coronado by the Cultural Arts Commission supported by community volunteers and supported by the work of Kelly.

Although her children are grown now, Kelly has made a lasting impact on Coronado schools. She was the first PTO president at the current middle school. She prides herself most on her work on the technology committee which brought laptops to the school, creating the KCMS program alongside Amy Steward, acquiring the California Highway Patrol grant for the first 15 Minutes Program at CHS, and working as a cheer coach as an active member of the Islander Sports Foundation.

Kelly’s work at USC, her political campaign feats, accomplishments as PTO president, and her contributions to preserving Coronado history have shown that Kelly truly cares about her community. She has dedicated her life to improving everything she touches and there is no denying the success she has achieved. Kelly has been an incredibly active contributory member of Coronado and we are thrilled to welcome her as our newest Island Icon!

Vermont is the perfect palette for a watercolor workshop

Story and photographs by Kris Grant

Last August, I was enrolled in a watercolor class at a country inn in the picturesque village of Landgrove in south-central Vermont.

Aah, Vermont! The Green Mountain state, where three-fourths of the land is covered in a carpet of forests, dotted with more than 600 lakes and ponds. Even better, I found myself painting in a spot that was featured in one of my favorite all-time films, the 1987 rom-com, Baby Boom.

You all remember that movie, don’t you? In the middle of the night, “Tiger Lady” J.C. Wiatt (Diane Keaton) gets a phone call with a very bad connection, informing her that her distant cousin from England has passed away, but has left her a package at the airport. J.C. excitedly heads to the terminal to retrieve this unexpected inheritance, which turns out to be… Baby Elizabeth! Immediately overwhelmed with motherhood, J.C. quickly finds herself sans boyfriend, and is soon out of a job as well. What to do, what to do!? While still in her ultra-modern Manhattan apartment, J.C. flips through a magazine and spies a dreamy Vermont farmhouse with an apple orchard for sale. She immediately decides to cash out and head north, cooing to young Elizabeth, “It’ll be just like the Farmer in the Dell.”

Despite encountering every setback at her new (old) home from a dried-up well to a rotted roof that caves in with the first snowfall, J.C. perseveres. She begins cooking and canning loads of applesauce, which becomes the first product of her “Country Baby” food line, and she meets the man of her dreams, town veterinarian, Dr. Jeff Cooper (Sam Shepard.)

Now, back to my travel story. My visit to Vermont, too, was just like the Farmer in the Dell. Sam Shepard wasn’t there (darn it), but I did enjoy a lot of maple syrup!

Welcome to the Landgrove Inn

From time to time, I’ve gone on watercolor workshop adventures with Doris Rice, who comes to Coronado every spring to teach plein air (a French word meaning “in the open air”) painting. I’ve also participated in Doris’s workshops in Tuscany, Italy; Costa Rica and Santa Fe, New Mexico and visited her on occasion at her home and studio in North Hampton, New Hampshire.

Her workshop at Vermont’s Landgrove Inn was one of my favorites, and it’s one of Doris’s faves as well. “It’s a great spot to teach a class, we have so many comforts,” she says. “Creating a sense of community happens so easily when we stay in one inn, dine together and paint together.”

Now, mind you, I’m not much of a painter. In fact, about the only time I pick up a brush is when I’m in one of Doris’s workshops. I guess I’m just too busy writing! But watercolor forces you to slow down and look at things more deeply. And at these workshops, I’m always in the company of some mighty nice people, usually women painters, but occasionally

a couple of gents will participate, and sometimes spouses come along for the ride. Getting to the Landgrove Inn is relatively easy, especially with GPS. Suffice it to say, it’s off Route 7 and Route 11 and some even smaller country roads. As I drove down Landgrove Road, I passed a few barns, contented cows grazing in meadows, and mighty appealing country homes. Then I spotted the inn’s bright red with white trim exterior, and its welcome sign with a drawing of a sleigh and horses and

the words “The Soul of Vermont.” Oh yeah, this would be perfect!

The Inn has quite a provenance dating from 1810 when it was built as the farmhouse for the Swallow family who operated a dairy farm. It was converted to an inn in 1935, when the abandoned farmhouse was purchased and renovated into an après ski lodge (the inn is surrounded by the Green Mountains and nearby Bromley Mountain offers skiing, ranging from beginner slopes to black

The Landgrove Inn, circa 1810, was once a farmhouse for a dairy, then a ski lodge and today operates as an inn that also offers art and yoga workshops throughout the year.

diamond trails.) It was sold again in 1959 and expanded. The present owner and innkeeper Tom Checciah and his late wife Maureen purchased the inn in 2000 and in 2005 added a 50-by-30 foot post-andbeam studio at the rear of the property, with the idea offering art workshops. That idea really took off and today the inn offers 35 art workshops and a few yoga workshops each season and is adding some in the winter season this year and next. Sadly, Tom lost Maureen in 2020, but he is supported by a loyal staff and buoyed by guests, many of whom return year after year.

Tom greeted me at the check-in desk and, hearing that I was a writer, arranged for a room just above the reception area where I could pick up the Internet signal. (They don’t come easy in these off-thebeaten track locales.) This part of the inn was original and I had to laugh at the steep stairs up to my room. By the way, many of the 16 rooms at the inn are easily accessible, with several on the first floor. But my room itself was spacious and lovely with windows that looked out over the

property and the pond beyond.

I met up with Doris and my fellow painters in the inn’s original tavern with dark wood paneled walls, fireplace and comfortable sofas and rocking chairs. I grabbed one of the rockers and a glass of wine and soon made the acquaintance of painters who mostly hailed from other parts of New England and upstate New York.

At six, we made our way to the dining room, where we would gather for breakfast and dinner over the next four days and evenings. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that every meal was delicious. Is there such a thing as gourmet comfort food? Each dinner included a choice of the soup of the day or salads, plus homemade desserts, like bread pudding and apple strudel. Each night we had a choice of six entrees that included such offerings as Crispy Roast Duckling with Raspberry Sauce, Prime Rib au jus, Vermont Maple Pork Chops, Thai Curry Haddock, Beef Short Ribs over Mashed Polenta, Pappardelle Alfredo or Chicken Saltimbocca.

My Landgrove Inn dinner entrees included (from top) Baked Salmon with Rémoulade Sauce, Crispy Duck with Raspberry Sauce, Prime Rib au jus, and Short Ribs over Mashed Polenta.

The village of Landgrove, says Tom, is probably just 150 people. “Most of the homes here are second homes,” he said. Many of the local residents, full time and seasonal, plus residents from Londonderry, Peru, Weston and other little towns you’ve never heard of, frequently enjoy dinners at Landgrove. Tom says Chef Chris Strecker’s osso bucco is “absolutely the best!” I must try it on my next visit!

Each day, our group would paint outside at settings around the inn – by the pond, on the patio, or we’d walk around the neighborhood – choosing a subject. One day I chose to paint an old rustic barn, and you can see the results here. I’m particularly proud of my weather vane.

Another day we drove about three miles to the town of Peru that was basically a church, a store and a park. Charming little venue. It wasn’t until weeks later when I was back home that, just out of curiosity, I Googled the movie Baby Boom. I wondered if they had actually shot the movie in Vermont.

I was ecstatic to discover that Peru was the stand-in for the movie’s fictional town of Hadleyville, where J.C. Wiatt and little Elizabeth settled! There’s an “establishing shot” of the town: an overhead that shows J.C.’s station wagon rolling into town, past the park and past the church I had just painted. It was so satisfying to know that I had indeed found the heart of Vermont, validated by the fact that writer Nancy Meyers chose this spot for filming! This was one of Meyers’ earliest films, which she produced

Back in the studio, Doris critiqued my work and made gentle suggestions on how I might complete it. Till next time, Doris!

with her former husband Charles Shyer. Meyers is one of my favorite writers, who also brought us such hits as The Holiday, Something’s Got to Give, The Intern and It’s Complicated. Meyers is very particular about settings, such as the interiors of the Cape Cod home in Something’s Got to Give, which coincidentally (?) also starred Diane Keaton along with Jack Nicholson. Turns out that the Vermont house that J.C. Wiatt purchased is a real house, also in Peru, up a dirt road. I read online that it has a lawn sign (that probably gets buried in snow each winter) that identifies it as the Baby Boom house. The film’s farmhouse interiors were all shot on Hollywood sets. Apparently, several of the townsfolk, saluted by the movie crew as friendly and outgoing, were recruited as extras in the film. I imagine

those Peruvians were excited in the same way Coronado residents turned out to watch the 1958 filming of Some Like It Hot.

We painters spent our afternoons in the Landgrove studio, where we’d work on our pieces and receive feedback from Doris. One by one, we would voluntarily hand over our paintings to her, which she would pin up on an easel, and make positive (always positive) comments. Then Doris would clip acetate over the painting and begin demonstrating how we might want to further develop the painting. Often, for me, this meant intensifying shadows. We could take a photo of Doris’s hints, then get back our artwork, with nary a mark on it.

Weston and The Vermont Country Store

We drove six miles down Landgrove Road to descend into the bucolic town of Weston, where we painted for a day at the former gristmill, which is attached to the Old Mill Museum, and across the street at the Vermont Country Store.

Weston is an absolutely adorable hamlet, with an 1832 Old Parish Church, waterfall, and central park with gazebo. Cold Spring Brook flows down into the town. At one time, there were two dams on the stream, but in 2011 during tropical storm Irene, the lower dam was breeched and declared unrepairable. So, in 2019, the brook was restored to its original stream course, with new trees and shrubs, and the result is a beautiful and serene Cold Stream Brook Memorial Park.

The town’s business district, across from the park is about two blocks long, if that. There’s a Village Green Gallery and Weston Village Store, but the granddaddy of the town is the Vermont Country Store. I get their catalogue in the mail three times a year, and love the nostalgic and practical items packed inside. There are old-time candies, Lanz Tyrolean nightgowns, café curtains, and brands from the past, like Tangee lipstick, White Shoulders Eau de Cologne, Teaberry gum and Packer’s Pine Tar soap. There are toys I remember from my childhood, like a tin kaleidoscope, an eight-volume Nancy Drew book collection and a Duncan 1955 Super Tournament Replica yo-yo.

It’s all there beautifully displayed in settings that include authentic items from yesteryear such as cast iron tubs, potbelly stoves and antique stoves.

Next to the store is Mildred’s Restaurant, (named after founder Mildred Orton),

offering burgers made with local grass-fed beef, mac and cheese, salads, and grilledcheese sandwiches, including Mildred’s ham-and-cheddar melt. There’s also a walkup window for snacks and ice cream cones, where I enjoyed a maple creemee (that’s what they call soft serve in these parts) and they use real maple syrup. Oh so good!

The entire town, population 623, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

It was incorporated in 1799 and by 1859 was a thriving community of 950, with sawmills, the gristmill, two tanneries, and woodworkers, blacksmiths, wheelwrights and shoemakers. The Weston Playhouse Theatre Company, still going strong today, was founded in 1935.

Let me tell you a bit about the history of the Vermont Country store. This catalogue, retail and e-commerce business was estab-

The Old Grist Milll in Weston and Doris Rice’s resulting painting.

lished here in 1946 by Vrest and Mildred Ellen Orton.

Vrest’s father and his father-in-law owned a general store, the Teachout-Orton store, in North Calais, Vermont, and Vrest’s warm memories of that store never left him.

What a life Vrest led! He accomplished so much before he ever opened this store! After serving as a medic in France during World War I, Vrest moved to New York City and worked as a publicist for H. L Mencken’s American Mercury magazine, Alfred Knopf publishers, the Saturday Review of Literature, and Life magazine. He wrote articles on many American writers and became friends with poet Robert Frost, Theodore Dreisser, H. P. Lovecraft and Sinclair Lewis. He attended Harvard University and Brown University, but as much as I could ascertain, only briefly at each.

He finally proclaimed that he disliked New York and returned to Vermont and in 1936 married Vermont native Mildred Ellen Wilcox. The Ortons purchased a home in Weston, where Vrest established a publishing company (he wrote several books on writers and Vermont) and also founded The Colophon, a bibliophiles’ magazine.

During World War II, Vrest worked for the Pentagon as a speechwriter and publicist; at that time he developed and nurtured the idea of opening a store and mail-order business. In 1945, the Ortons bought a former country inn and founded the business on the property. Based on fond memories of his father’s business, the store and catalogue featured foods and specialty items that had largely disappeared from modern store shelves, but were fondly remembered by Vrest (and the American public, as it turned out!). The Ortons’ first catalogue called “The Voice of the Mountains” was mailed out in 1946 to 3,000 people, many of whom were on Mildred’s Christmas card list!

I share this information because I believe Vrest’s intellect – his love of language, literature and respect for his Vermont heritage – is what ultimately led to the success of the Vermont Country Store.

Today the store is run by the Ortons’ son, Lyman, and his three sons – Cabot, Gardner and Eliot, all strapping gentlemen who you’ll find pictured, wearing flannel shirts of course, on the store’s website.

Inside and out, the Vermont Country Store takes you back to yesteryear, with practical merchandise displayed among vintage and antique furnishings.

The Shelburne Museum, a stone’s throw south of Burlington, Vermont, was a wonderful discovery, and we all have Electra Havemeyer Webb to thank for it. Don’t you just love that name, Electra? I mean, who names their kid Electra?

In this case, the name was selected by her uber-wealthy parents, Louisine and Henry O. Havemeyer, the latter the head of the American Sugar Refining Co. We Coronadans are already familiar with the vast wealth of entrepreneurs in the sugar industry, especially during the Gilded Age, in the visage of one John D. Spreckels and his father, Claus Spreckels, the sugar king of California and Hawaii.

As an aside, Henry Havemeyer and Claus Spreckels were at one time intense rivals. In 1887 Havemeyer established the Sugar Refineries Company, known as the Sugar Trust, and he tried to bring all independent refineries into his organization. His chief rival on the West Coast was Spreckels, who refused to join. Using a small California plant that the Sugar Trust had acquired in

1891, Havemeyer began an aggressive price war to put Spreckels out of business. In retaliation Spreckels opened a Philadelphia refinery in 1889, intending to undercut the Trust’s business in the East.

After a fierce price war of two years, the Trust and Spreckels came to an agreement in 1891: Spreckels sold his Philadelphia refinery to the Trust and the two sides agreed to keep out of each other’s territory. Good thing that happened or John Spreckels may never have been in a position to purchase the Coronado Beach Company!

The Havemeyers were rich – really rich –and owned one of the finest homes in New York City. They took Electra and her older siblings, Adaline and Horace, on regular trips to Europe where the parents visited museums and collected art, sculpture and ceramics. The family visited the World’s Fair in Paris when Electra was less than a year old and she later said that she felt her love of collecting and museums was almost genetic.

As a teenager, Electra spent time at Shelburne Farms, the estate of Dr. William Seward Webb and Lila Vanderbilt Webb, and soon was being courted by the Webb’s son, James Watson.

When Electra was just 18 years old, her father died suddenly of kidney failure and when the family estate was settled, Electra was a very rich young woman. She traveled with her mother for another year in Europe, buying artwork and announcing to her betrothed just how pleased she was to start her own collection.

Things got interesting, when much to her mother’s horror, Electra began focusing on Americana folk art. When she and James married in 1910, Electra moved to Shelburne, and her new in-laws gave the newlyweds an abandoned historic home that came to be known as The Brick House, plus 1,000 acres.

It was early in her marriage that Electra began to conceive of a museum. But meanwhile, she and James built a home in Westbury, New York, where Electra gave

The Horseshoe Bar at Shelburne Museum was one of the first buildings constructed and was filled with Electra’s in-law’s collection of sleighs and carriages, plus those she had collected.

birth to their five children, and kept collecting. The house was filled with her pieces and the Webbs once entertained the Prince of Wales there.

Louisine was quite beside herself as she surveyed Electra’s collection of hooked rugs, wooden carvings and needlepoint. “How can you, Electra, you who have been brought up with Rembrandts and Manets, live with such American trash?” she protested. But Electra would not be swayed. It was not until after World War II when the Webb’s children had grown and James Watson had retired from polo, that the Webbs moved permanently to Vermont and Electra pursued her ideas for the museum, beginning with her father-in-law’s many horse-drawn vehicles including carriages and sleighs. She purchased eight acres, and incorporated the museum in 1947. Over the years, more buildings were saved from demolition and moved to the property, which gradually was enlarged to 45 acres.

Today the Shelburne Museum campus is comprised of 39 buildings, 25 of which are historic and were relocated to the grounds. Among the most beloved attractions are the Shaker-design Round Barn, a General Store, and the Circus building with carousel.

My favorite is the 220-foot side-wheel steamboat Ticonderoga. Built in Shelburne in 1906, Ticonderoga operated as a day boat on Lake Champlain, serving ports along the New York and Vermont shores until 1953.

In addition to the buildings, the museum’s beautifully landscaped grounds feature 22 gardens.

The Webb Gallery features American paintings by Andrew Wyeth, Winslow Homer, Grandma Moses, John Singleton Copley and many more, and the Pizzagalli Center for Art and Education features changing exhibitions.

Electra arranged to have an entire steamboat, Ticonderoga, moved onto the museum property. Pictured Left is the stairwell to the dining room and staterooms.

Burlington

Here’s a fun fact: With a population of 44,743, Burlington is the least populous city to also be the most populous city in a state! It is situated on the eastern banks of Lake Champlain, and was named after French explorer Samuel de Champlain, the first European to discover the lake in 1609. The lake separates the Adirondacks Mountains of New York and the Green Mountains of Vermont and leads up to the Canadian province of Quebec. The lake was of strategic importance during the Revolutionary War, but today it is used mostly by ferries and pleasure craft. Restaurants, jogging paths and marinas dot the lakefront.

Burlington is home to the University of Vermont. The school is the fifth oldest university in New England and its red brick buildings are situated on a hill overlooking the lake. Its 11,000 students and 1,400 faculty members add to the vibrancy of the city’s food, arts and cultural scene.

Downtown’s Church Street marketplace is a bustling shopping and dining district, while Pine Street in Burlington’s South End features breweries and art studios. Here, from May through September, locals and visitors gather for “Truck Stop” that features 30 food trucks in rotation plus music every Friday night.

On the waterfront you’ll also find the ECHO Leahy Science and Nature Center. North of downtown, you can visit the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum, the former home (circa 1787) of the Revolutionary War hero.

Montpelier

I thought this state capitol was one of the prettiest in the nation. It is also located in the smallest capital city in the nation, with a population of just over 10,000. Guided tours of the statehouse are offered in the summer months and self-guided tours are available all year.

Brattleboro

I loved this little town and its many art galleries housed in historic buildings, most of them two and three stories of red brick, on Main Street that runs along three blocks of the Connecticut River. Its Historic District features architectural styles ranging from the Greek Revival to Modernistic, with examples from the Victorian period being the most numerous. Union Station, still operating with daily Amtrak service, houses the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center on its second and third floors.

Located at the southern tip of Vermont, bordering New Hampshire, Brattleboro is also the first Vermont town you’ll encounter if you are heading north from Massachusetts. Several charming bed and breakfast inns are in the area; I think I might try the Inn on Putney Road on my next visit. And if I’m really on the ball, I’ll time my visit to take in some of the cultural events like the summer Shakespeare festival presented by the Vermont Theatre Company.

Wallingford

This is where Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary, grew up in the care of his grandparents. There is a Rotary Club in the town and Harris was there for its chartering in 1928 (two years after Coronado Rotary was chartered). You can go on a self-guided tour of Harris’ haunts during his formative years.

Stowe

I didn’t visit Stowe, New England’s popular ski destination, but it’s on my list, mostly to see the Trapp Family Lodge, made famous by The Sound of Music family that established it. October is when I’d like to visit to see the colors of the maples change and to participate in the Trapps’ annual Oktoberfest.

Rutland

This was the birthplace of John Deere, who learned the blacksmithing trade in nearby Middlebury. In 1836 he moved west to Grand Detour, Illinois where he built the world’s first steel moldboard plow, known as “the plow that broke the plains.” Rutland is home to the Vermont State Fair, the oldest state fair in the nation, to be held this year from Aug. 15 through 19. The city has a lively downtown, filled with art, murals and sculptures. One sculpture is of Rotary Founder Paul Harris, who lived in nearby Wallingford. I chatted with Tiffany of the Downtown Rutland Association asking if there was a sculpture of their most famous hometown boy, John Deere. “Why, no, but maybe we should,” she said. And I do believe it was a light bulb moment.

I visited a number of additional cities in Vermont. Here are a few you might consider for your itinerary:

Rutland is filled with service clubs.

Lake Champlain in Burlington is filled with boaters and diners in the summer months.

Getting Started: Establishing a Financial Safety Net

By Jane Braun, CFP®

How much is enough?

Most financial professionals suggest that you have three to six months’ worth of living expenses in your cash reserve. The actual amount, however, should be based on your particular circumstances. Do you have a mortgage? Do you have short-term and long-term disability protection? Are

Building your cash reserve

If you haven’t established a cash reserve, or if the one you have is inadequate, you can take several steps to eliminate the shortfall:

• Save aggressively: If available, use payroll deduction at work; budget your savings as part of regular household expenses

• Reduce your discretionary spending (e.g., eating out, movies, lottery tickets)

• Use current or liquid assets (those that are cash or are convertible to cash within a year, such as a short-term certificate of deposit)

you making car payments? Are you paying for your child’s orthodontics? Other factors you need to consider include your job security, health, and income. The bottom line: Without an emergency fund, a period of crisis (e.g., unemployment, disability) could be financially devastating.

• Use earnings from other investments (e.g., stocks, bonds, or mutual funds)

• Check out other resources (e.g., do you have a cash value insurance policy that you can borrow from?)

A final note: Your credit line can be a secondary source of funds in a time of crisis. Borrowed money, however, has to be paid back (often at high interest rates). As a result, you shouldn’t consider lenders as a primary source for your cash reserve.

In times of crisis, you don’t want to be shaking coins out of a piggy bank. Having a financial safety net in place can ensure that you’re protected when a financial emergency arises. One way to accomplish this is by setting up a cash reserve, a pool of readily available funds that can help you meet emergency or highly urgent short-term needs.

Where to keep your cash reserve

You’ll want to make sure that your cash reserve is readily available when you need it. However, an FDIC-insured, low-interest savings account isn’t your only option. There are several excellent alternatives, each with unique advantages. For example, money market accounts and short-term CDs typically offer higher interest rates than savings accounts, with little (if any) increased risk.

Note: Don’t confuse a money market mutual fund with a money market deposit account. An investment in a money market mutual fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC. Although the mutual fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

Note: When considering a money market mutual fund, be sure to obtain and read the fund’s prospectus, which is available from the fund or your financial advisor, and outlines the fund’s investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses. Carefully consider those factors before investing.

It’s important to note that certain fixedterm investment vehicles (i.e., those that pledge to return your principal plus interest on a given date), such as CDs, impose a significant penalty for early withdrawals.

So, if you’re going to use fixed-term investments as part of your cash reserve, you’ll want to be sure to ladder (stagger) their maturity dates over a short period of time (e.g., two to five months). This will ensure the availability of funds, without penalty, to meet sudden financial needs.

Your personal and financial circumstances change often—a new child comes along, an aging parent becomes more dependent, or a larger home brings increased expenses.

Because your cash reserve is the first line of protection against financial devastation, you should review it annually to make sure that it fits your current needs.

And at the end of the day, don't forget to stop and smell the flowers.

Unwavering: The Wives Who Fought to Ensure No Man is Left Behind

By Taylor Baldwin Kiland & Judy Silverstein Gray

The true story of the women who waged an epic home front battle to ensure our nation leaves no man behind. When some of America’s military men are captured or go missing during the Vietnam War, a small group of military wives become their champions. Never had families taken on diplomatic roles during wartime, nor had the fate of our POWs and missing men been a nationwide concern. In cinematic detail, authors Taylor Baldwin Kiland and Judy Silverstein Gray plunge you directly into the political maneuvering the women navigated, onto the international stage they shared with world leaders, and through the landmark legacy they created.

Happy Place

By Emily Henry

Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college—they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now—for reasons they’re still not discussing—they don’t.  They broke up five months ago. And still haven’t told their best friends.

Which is how they find themselves sharing a bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group’s yearly getaway for the last decade. Their annual respite from the world, where for one vibrant, blissful week they leave behind their daily lives; have copious amounts of cheese, wine, and seafood; and soak up the salty coastal air with the people who understand them most… After years of being in love, how hard can it be to fake it for one week…in front of those who know you best?

Hello Beautiful

By Ann Napolitano

William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family’s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all. With the Padavanos, William experiences a newfound contentment; every moment in their house is filled with loving chaos.

But then darkness from William’s past surfaces, jeopardizing not only Julia’s carefully orchestrated plans for their future, but the sisters’ unshakeable devotion to one another. The result is a catastrophic family rift that changes their lives for generations. Will the loyalty that once rooted them be strong enough to draw them back together when it matters most?

An exquisite homage to Louisa May Alcott’s timeless classic, Little Women, Hello Beautiful is a profoundly moving portrait of what is possible when we choose to love someone not in spite of who they are, but because of it.

Age of Vice

By Deepti Kapoor

In the shadow of lavish estates, extravagant parties, predatory business deals and calculated political influence, three lives become dangerously intertwined: Ajay is the watchful servant, born into poverty, who rises through the family’s ranks. Sunny is the playboy heir who dreams of outshining his father, whatever the cost. And Neda is the curious journalist caught between morality and desire. Against a sweeping plot fueled by loss, pleasure, greed, yearning, violence and revenge, will these characters’ connections become a path to escape, or a trigger of further destruction?

Equal parts crime thriller and family saga, transporting readers from the dusty villages of Uttar Pradesh to the urban energy of New Delhi, Age of Vice is an intoxicating novel of gangsters and lovers, false friendships, forbidden romance, and the consequences of corruption. It is binge-worthy entertainment at its literary best.
