CORONADO M

The First Word Sunny days, beautiful beaches, music in the air … it’s the best of times in Coronado, and it’s perfect for a picnic! In this issue of the Coronado Magazine you can find suggestions for the perfect picnic bites, and the best places to enjoy them. Spend some time with Hattie as she brings to life her inner Picasso, and let a little light into your night with Linda as you discover the lighthouses on the West Coast. We invite you to welcome Commander William H. Nesbitt to Coronado High School as he assumes command of the CHS NJROTC unit, and we try to tempt your taste-buds with a refreshing offering from Christine while you sit down for a late summer movie-night. Finally, enjoy some time in Tahoe City with Kris Grant … and get to know Alessandra Selgi-Harrigan. As a Coronado summer starts to wind down and we all anticipate the approaching school year, it’s time to consider a little … KINDNESS A staple on inspirational t-shirts, motivational posters and marketing catch phrases the world over (quick, date yourself: do you remember the phrase, “Be Kind, Please Rewind”?), kindness is more than simply a word for some combination or consideration, friendliness and generosity. There’s an intentionality to being kind, a conscious effort directed toward making the world just a little bit brighter. Kindness is not only outward looking, it has to look inward as well. One has to know kindness in order to be kind. Coronado is a special place to call home. Living here we get to slow down the pace of the world and spend a little time … time getting to know our neighbors, as they get to know us. In that knowing we can become kind. Kindness, we can always use a little more practice.

Bay Books Book Club Corner What books people are reading… Growing Up Getty

Freezing Order

Oil magnate J. Paul Getty, once the richest man in the world, is the patriarch of an extraordinary cast of sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. While some have been brought low by mental illness, drug addiction, and one of the most sensational kidnapping cases of the 20th century, many of Getty’s heirs have achieved great success. In addition to Mark Getty, a cofounder of Getty Images, and Anne G. Earhart, an award-winning environmentalist, others have made significant marks in a variety of fields, from music and viniculture to politics and LGBTQ rights. Through extensive research, including access to J. Paul Getty’s diaries and love letters, and fresh interviews with family members and friends, Growing Up Getty offers an inside look into the benefits and burdens of being part of today’s world of the ultrawealthy.

Following his explosive New York Times bestseller Red Notice, Bill Browder returns with another gripping thriller chronicling how he became Vladimir Putin’s number one enemy by exposing Putin’s campaign to steal and launder hundreds of billions of dollars and kill anyone who stands in his way. When Bill Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail, Browder made it his life’s mission to go after his killers and make sure they faced justice. The first step of that mission was to uncover who was behind the $230 million tax refund scheme that Magnitsky was killed over. As Browder and his team tracked the money as it flowed out of Russia through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas, they were shocked to discover that Vladimir Putin himself was a beneficiary of the crime.

The Summer Place

Sparring Partners

From “the undisputed boss of the beach read” (The New York Times), The Summer Place is a testament to family in all its messy glory; a story about what we sacrifice and how we forgive. Enthralling, witty, big-hearted, and sharply observed, this is Jennifer Weiner’s love letter to the Outer Cape and the power of home, the way our lives are enriched by the people we call family, and the endless ways love can surprise us.

The “Sparring Partners” are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two successful young lawyers who inherited a once prosperous firm when its founder, their father, was sent to prison. Kirk and Rusty loathe each other, and speak to each other only when necessary. As the firm disintegrates, the resulting fiasco falls into the lap of Diantha Bradshaw, the only person the partners trust. Can she save the Malloys, or does she take a stand for the first time in her career and try to save herself? By turns suspenseful, hilarious, powerful, and moving, these are three of the greatest stories John Grisham has ever told.

Set the scene for Here are just a few of our favorite picnic-worthy locations around town… Star Park is a small park packed with a ton of Coronado history. It is filled with shady trees, and tucked into a quiet area of Coronado. Get some to-go food from one of the many restaurants within walking distance, and enjoy the tranquility.

It may seem like an obvious choice, but you really can’t go wrong with a picnic on the beach. While the beach will undoubtedly be more packed than park options (especially closer to the Hotel del), this simply adds an opportunity for some great people watching! Pro-tip, if you don’t want to get sandy, the rocks that line the beach make for a perfect makeshift seat to enjoy your meal. While we are talking beaches, we can’t forget about one of the best in town… Dog Beach! If you have a pup, or just love to watch them romp around in the water and sand, this is the perfect place for you. This section of the beach is usually less populated, which leaves plenty of room for a picnic setup of any size. There are no shade options at this beach, so don’t forget your umbrella, and plenty of water for your pup! P22 | Coronado Magazine

your next picnic! Last on our list of beaches, is a much more secluded option. Stingray Point is a bay-side beach tucked somewhat-secretly behind the Coronado Golf Course. It is a bit tricky to get to, but it is the perfect place to spend an entire day enjoying a picnic, playing beach games, or going for a summer swim. (Just don’t forget your stingray shuffle!)

Heading down towards the ferry landing, there is another park that tends to be vacant of large crowds, Bayview Park. This large patch of grass overlooks the

famous San Diego Skyline, and is the perfect spot to sit in the sun, enjoy a nice meal, and watch the wide array of ships passing by. Last but certainly not least is “High Flight Bench.” This secret nook, containing a single bench, is often forgotten due to its secluded location. Not only is this bench the perfect place to sit quietly and overlook the Yacht Club, but it also serves as a reminder of the patriotic roots running deep within this town. It doesn’t get much better!

It’s about that time! After another blinkand-you-missed-it summer, it’s back to the hustle and bustle of a new school year. Every August I think this is it, this is the year I will volunteer to be a room mom. Then the thought of organizing all the birthdays, holidays, teacher appreciation gifts, activities, etc. overwhelm me into a puddle. I am in awe of the creativity and thoughtfulness some people possess and I need to come to terms with just being a Venmo type of room parent. Photography and writing are my passion and the only forms of creativity I enjoy. To this day I can only draw stick figures with three stick fingers, a stick sun, and hearts. Like many of you, we became very familiar with Art Hub for Kids during the pandemic. It is a wonderful YouTube channel for kids and adults (ahem raises hand) that provides easy art lessons. My family loves doing them together and it makes you feel like Picasso for a moment’s time. Let’s be clear though that I retain nothing from the lesson and quickly return to my trusty stick figures. To add insult to injury, my mom and sister are true artists and are constantly creating beautiful work in all mediums. So, you can imagine my enthusiasm when I was invited to a night at the AR Workshop Coronado. I met Laura Nelson in the BAM class at Coronado Fitness Club. BAM’s (Bad Ass

on a wooden board and get roasted by my family. We walked in and I was completely blown away. It is a stunning space, so inviting and organized, my attitude shifted instantly .The project possibilities are endless and so many designs to choose from. I made a personalized wooden sign, and the other ladies made a planter box, lazy Susan, and charcuterie board respectively. Laura guided us throughout the night while we painted, gabbed, and drank wine. I could not believe I was enjoying a craft, who do I think I am, Martha Stewart? I loved having an intimate group, but they can fit parties of up to 20. I feel like this would be a perfect activity for so many occasions, birthday parties, team building, but honestly, it’s the perfect girl’s night out. Now that school is starting, and we have minute to breathe, I highly encourage you to book at AR Workshop, especially if its outside of your comfort zone. I feel so proud of myself. It was our 13-year wedding anniversary last month, and I forgot to do anything for it. I handed over my work of art as a gift and he was so touched. A month late, but really who is counting after 13 years! If this really isn’t your cup of tea, they have a fantastic gift shop with all things Coronado, I bought some gifts for my two girlfriends that recently moved to Virginia Beach and miss our Crown Town so much. I hate to break it to you, but the holidays will be here in five short months. Don’t forget to shop local, we love our small businesses! Now if you will excuse me, I am going to go see if the Louvre would like me to lend them my masterpiece.

list and capped a perfect day. In San Francisco we stayed in the Presidio Lodge which was convenient to Pier 39 where we met friends who were joining us for East Brother. We sat after dinner at Fog Harbor reminiscing about previous trips they had been on with updates of the conditions and happenings at lighthouses around the country. Lighthouses are some of the oldest historical buildings in the United States, but funding to keep them open to visitors and finding the volunteers after a COVID break have disrupted their tourist business. Hence, many have limited hours even during the summer season. Since our motorboat the next day left for East Brother at 4:00 p.m., we had time to head to another lighthouse located in Fort Point National Historic Site at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. This twentyeight-foot-tall iron skeletal tower, erected in 1863, was the third and final lighthouse on this site. It was built on a three-story fort constructed of red-brick and granite which took seven years to build and was the only

such fort on the West Coast. With weather perfect enough to eat comfortably outside, we headed to Sausalito for lunch at Venice Gourmet Deli and the best California Club sandwich. With more lighthouses to see, we could not dawdle. Our next jaunt was Marin Headlands to photograph Point Bonita from a distance and the wildflowers up close. The short hike provided a pause in the hustle of San Francisco and landscapes beckoning an artist. We arrived at the dock early for our northern most adventure, anticipating a new experience for all of us. Some lighthouses do have sleeping arrangements; however, not too many are situated in water. Pictures fail to render the visual effect of some venues. That is true of East Brother Lighthouse which grabs your attention the minute you climb out of the motorboat. The Victorian charm shouts its history and envelopes you with a quiet peace. After depositing our overnight bags, ten of us gathered outside for champagne and appe-

... Continuing A Love For Tradition And Service ... CHS NJROTC Welcomes A New C.O.

Story - Maria Simon Coronado Magazine | P33

Commander William H. Nesbitt Coronado High School NJROTC

When Commander William H. Nesbitt, USN (Ret) takes the helm of the Coronado High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) this month he will become the fourth instructor in the program’s 20-year history to lead the cadets of the prestigious awardwinning Islander Company. Combining a love for the traditions and service components of the U.S. Navy, with a passion for teaching and mentoring young people, CDR William “Bill” Nesbitt has signed on as the Senior Naval Science Instructor (SNSI) for the NJROTC program at Coronado High School. “The things I enjoyed most in my military career were the leadership development and community service aspects,” said Nesbitt, “It struck me after retirement that my calling was to help individuals to maximize their personal effectiveness and achieve the most out of their lives.” Commander Nesbitt retired from the Navy in April 2021. “I had thought about ROTC (instruction) at various points

throughout my career. But during the transition process out of the Navy I decided to explore the renewable energy sector. I spent about a year in that industry and really enjoyed it,” he said. During that time he continued to look for ways to be involved in mentoring the next generation. “What resonates with me is developing leadership potential, mental and physical strength, fitness, and strong character. I would like to pass those values along to the current generation of upcoming leaders,” shared Nesbitt. He will have plenty of wisdom to share with his CHS cadets. Nesbitt was born in Hawaii and raised in Indiana. He is from a multi-generational military family and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in May 1999 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science. After graduation he was designated a Surface Warfare Officer. He served as the Information Systems Officer aboard USS PORT ROYAL (CG 73) in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and the Ordnance Officer aboard USS

FORD (FFG 54), in Everett, Washington. Commander Nesbitt went on to earn his Master of Science Degree in Operations Research from the Naval Postgraduate School in 2006 and was selected to transfer to the Naval Intelligence Community. His assignments as an Intelligence Officer include serving as a Senior Intelligence Analyst for the Commander of U.S. Sixth Fleet in Naples, Italy; Intelligence Branch Head supporting U.S. Strategic Command in Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska; Officer-in-Charge of the Fleet Intelligence Adaptive Force Detachment in Manama, Bahrain; Branch Head for Naval Information Warfare Manpower and Training at the Pentagon; Intelligence Department Head aboard USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (CVN 71) at Naval Air Station North Island; and Officer-in-Charge of Naval Information Force Reserve Region Southwest in San Diego, CA. Commander Nesbitt’s personal decorations include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, three Navy/Marine Corps Meritorious Service Medals, three Navy/ Marine Corps Commendation Medals, two Navy/Marine Corps Achievement

Medals, and various unit and service awards. The Nesbitt family moved to Coronado six years ago when Bill was assigned to the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT. He and his wife Jenni, and their two children, Addison (a rising freshman at Coronado High School) and Landon (a rising 6th grader at Coronado Middle School) have been ‘all in’ for Coronado and the Coronado Unified School District since day one. Both of the children attended Silver Strand Elementary School. “Jenni was the PTO President there for two years and she also served on the CSF (Coronado Schools Foundation) Board. She is an absolutely amazing ball of energy! Right now she is teaching at Graham Memorial Preschool and is looking forward to supporting the NJROTC Islander Company as both a wife and a mom,” said Bill. “We are very excited that Addison will be joining NJROTC next year as a freshman,” he shared. Adding that “She said she is looking forward to being in class with me, but I definitely am! She will also be enrolled in CoSA (Coronado School of the Arts) Musical Theater.” Not to be left out, Landon also plans to

join NJROTC when he gets to CHS and according to his dad, “dreams of going to the Naval Academy and playing lacrosse.” Though Bill and Jenni recently bought a house in Imperial Beach, they are very active in Coronado with work, school, and service. Bill is in the Coronado Rotary Club and the family is involved with St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, where Bill serves on the board of trustees and sings in the choir, and Jenni is the Director of Christian Formation. The Nesbitt family also enjoys music and the arts, and spending time kayaking and hiking together. Nesbitt is spending the summer preparing lessons and curriculum. “My official start date is August 1st, but I have and will spend time with Capt. Rabun (retiring NJROTC Senior Instructor) working on turnover and transition. Fortunately (Naval Science Instructor) Senior Chief Hellwig (the program’s second instructor) is staying on in his position and will definitely help me out and provide continuity,” he said. High school NJROTC units are led by two instructors, both certified by the Department of the Navy to teach the required curriculum. They are also

employees of Coronado Unified School District. The CHS Islander Company has a tradition of excellence and high level leadership. The program was established in 2003 by Captain Lee Pontes, USN (Ret). Captain Ken Ireland, USN (Ret) took over as SNSI of the unit from 20102015, followed by recently retired Captain Patrick Rabun, USN (Ret). In addition to the transition work with Rabun, Nesbitt has spoken with the program’s founder. “Lee (Pontes) told me that it’s not a ‘banker’s hours’ job; it’s a high level of commitment with a lot of evening and weekend work required to support the students’ participation in activities such as community service, leadership academies, and competitions.” Nesbitt reflected on his priorities for the first year. “Getting to know the students is ‘job one.’ I want to build up a sense of family, teamwork, and camaraderie. And of course I will need to make sure I’m ready to go with instructional material that is engaging and challenging for all of the students. I realize that it’s one thing to instruct in the classroom but the teambuilding and community service aspect occurs outside of the classroom. There is a lot, but I am really looking

forward to all of it with the Islander Company!” The NJROTC program at Coronado High School was established on September 2, 2003 under the leadership of Captain Lee Pontes, USN (Ret) to promote citizenship and teamwork, develop respectful conduct, and improve the physical fitness, pride, personal appearance, leadership, self-reliance, and self-discipline among all cadets at CHS. Nationally, the NJROTC program was established by Public Law in 1964 and may be found in Title 10, U.S. Code, Chapter 102. NJROTC programs are conducted at accredited secondary schools throughout the nation, by instructors who are retired Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard officers and enlisted personnel. The curriculum emphasizes citizenship and leadership development, as well as maritime heritage, the significance of sea power, and naval topics such as the fundamentals of naval operations, seamanship, navigation and meteorology. Classroom instruction is augmented throughout the year by community service activities, drill competition, field meets, flights, visits to naval activities, marksmanship training, and other military training.

MOVIE NIGHT: “DIRTY DANCING”

Suggested by Alessandra Selgi-Harrigan Wildly popular and largest grossing movie for the year 1987, “Dirty Dancing” is a fun summer rom-com you don’t get tired of watching. With its catchy songs and dancing scenes the film takes place in 1963 at a summer resort where actress Jennifer Grey plays “Baby.” She, her parents, and sister travel to a resort for a family vacation. A number of events take place that get Baby out of the dark and into the spotlight. She realizes that there is a class distinction between the employees, who are working class, and the waiters - Ivy League students working at the resort for the summer. Dance instructor “Johnny” played by Patrick Swayze also falls into that category and Baby is attracted to him. The two dance one night when Baby goes exploring and finds herself at a party for the staff where they do “dirty” dancing. Johnny’s dance partner, Penny, becomes pregnant by Robbie, a playboy Ivy league student and waiter at the resort. When Penny needs money for the abortion, Baby steps in and borrows from her doctor father. Johnny needs a dance partner and Baby steps in and the two spent a lot of time together. The abortion doesn’t go well and Penny is sick and Baby gets her father’s help. Events take place where Johnny is blamed for a few things. The truth later comes out and love triumphs. “Dirty Dancing” won 12 awards including an academy award for best original song (“I’ve Had) The Time of My Life”, Golden Globe Awards for best actor, best actress, best motion picture, and a number of Grammy Awards. The soundtrack includes many popular songs of the 1960s like “Do You Love Me,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Be My Baby” as well as some 1980s tunes like “Hungry Eyes.” With the theme of class difference, summer love and abortion this film is as current as ever and a fun way to spend 100 minutes in front of the TV.

“FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL”

Suggested by Lauren Curtis If you are searching for a laugh-until-you-cry film to watch this summer, look no further. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, in my opinion, is one of the greatest comedies of the 21st century. Produced by Judd Apatow, it depicts his famously unrestrained and often crude comedic style mixed with raw and sincere emotion. Jason Segel both wrote and stars in this hilariously honest take on love, heartbreak, and finding yourself. The film opens up with Segels character, Peter, being broken up with by his long-time love, Sarah (played by Kristen Bell). When Sarah abruptly cuts ties with Peter, he is devastated, and decides he is in need of a vacation. Peter sets off to Hawaii where he plans to engulf himself in some much needed quiet, alone (crying) time. Unfortunately things take a turn when he realizes that Sarah is staying at the same resort as he is. To add insult to injury, she is accompanied by her new boyfriend, famous rockstar Aldus Snow (played by Russell Brand). As Peter attempts to move on, he is faced with many hilarious and unfortunate obstacles. This film also features unforgettably funny performances by Bill Hader, Paul Rudd, Jack McBrayer, and Mila Kunis. This film is somehow a breakup movie, and a first-class romantic comedy at the same time. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is hilarious, heartwarming and dubbed by many as the “ultimate breakup movie.”

“FIELD OF DREAMS”

Suggested by Christine Johnson As we move into the hotter months of summer we enjoy relaxing time away from work, days with our families and Americas favorite pastime, baseball. Baseball and its players have a rich history as “the boys of summer.” We escape to watch a simple game from a simpler time that allows us to dream of our team winning the big game or remembering having a catch with Dad when we were kids. If anyone enjoys a great baseball movie, all this should remind you of one of the best summer stories about a voice and the pursuit of making things right from your past. The Field Of Dreams is a 1989 sports fantasy drama based on the book by W. P. Kinsella’s 1982 novel “Shoeless Joe.” The film stars Kevin Costner in one of his best roles, as a farmer who builds a baseball field in his cornfield in Iowa. Costner’s character, Ray Kinsella, hears a voice in a dream that says, “If you build it they will come.” With the support of his Wife (played by Amy Madigan) he plows up half his cornfield and builds a baseball field that attracts the ghosts of baseball legends, including Shoeless Joe Jackson, and the Chicago Black Sox. If you have any knowledge of the history of the game, you know that in 1919 the Chicago Black Sox were immersed in a scandal that changed everything for the team and its players. Some were ousted from the game for life. Upon building the field, Ray waits months to understand the true meaning of the voice and what it made him do. Just when he feels like giving up, and the whole town has labeled him crazy, life throws him a curve ball. Shoeless Joe appears in the cornfield asking Ray if he and seven of the other Chicago Black Sox players can play on his field. These were the players caught up in the scandal and lost the game they loved and have not played since. This is not just a film about baseball, but a film that touches the heart of anyone that has made mistakes in life and is searching for redemption and faith. In Ray’s case, as he endlessly follows the voice, he remembers his dad’s dreams of becoming a baseball player. His dad tried to make Ray love the game too and follow in his footsteps. Ray mocked him for having a “hero who was a criminal” (Shoeless Joe) and then stopped playing catch with his father all together. Ray’s biggest regret is that his father died before they could reconcile. I confess that I have watched this movie probably 25 times. I never tire of the performances by every actor or the story that wraps itself around summer at the ballpark. Field of Dreams is warm, touching, funny, historic and mindful of the place baseball has in history. The actual Field of Dreams baseball field is in Dyersville, Iowa and has become a popular tourist destination. Major League Baseball held a baseball game there in 2021 between the White Sox and the Yankees with Kevin Costner emerging from the corn onto the outfield with all the players. A second Field of Dreams game is scheduled in 2022 between the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs. Grab some popcorn or a hot dog (and a box of tissues) this is a don’t miss classic.

“MOONRISE KINGDOM” Suggested by Brooke Clifford Throw together a Boy Scouts-esque summer camp off the coast of New England, two young runaways in love, and Wes Anderson’s iconic aesthetic and you get the masterpiece that is Moonrise Kingdom. Set in the summer of 1965, the film follows protagonists Sam and Suzy, two complex preteens who feel isolated from society and through a series of letters to each other have planned their escape (Sam from his foster parents and Camp Ivanhoe, Suzy from her family at their house named Summer’s End) to a secret cove. Pursued by Sam’s fellow Khaki Scouts, and eventually, a handful of adults in the form of the scoutmasters, Suzy’s parents, and the island’s police chief as an impending storm is brewing, Moonrise Kingdom offers an examination of childhood and adulthood, as well as love, both in and outside the confines of society. Made all the more compelling through Anderson’s whimsical style of directing, a sharp script by Anderson and Roman Coppola, and a cast that brings these characters to life, Moonrise Kingdom offers a heartfelt summer film experience for those contemplative evenings reminiscing over past adventures and days of childhood.

“IT’S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY” Suggested by Dean K Eckenroth Jr “It’s Okay” is a Korean drama (16-episode series), now showing on Netflix. “It’s Okay” is a fairy tale within a fairy tale that, if you look closely enough, is filled with the magical and the imaginary, with princes and princesses, witches and trolls, the heroic, the foolish, and the monstrous, and tells the intertwined stories of Kim Soo-hyun (as Moon Gang-tae) and Oh Jung-se (as Moon Sang-tae) - two brothers (one with Autism Spectrum Disorder), and Seo Yea-ji (as Ko Moon-young) - a popular children’s book author with Antisocial Personality Disorder. The series is filled with beautiful imagery, and Ko Moonyoung’s wardrobe serves as a powerful character all its own (reminiscent of IU in “Hotel Del Luna”). Oh Jung-se’s performance (as an autistic man) is remarkable and serves as the very central point upon which the rest of the tale revolves, avoiding the oft-repeated pitfall of relegating such characters to mere background noise. Loosely set in (and around) a psychiatric hospital, “It’s Okay” is (at times) unbelieveably fantastical, and painfully real, but always works to breath onto the screen the very real challenges of dealing with trauma and mental illness. Fairy Tales are more than just stories for children, more than just pretty (tall) tales ... they are cultural tales that carry within them oft-important pieces of wisdom. This fairy tale tells us that: “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay.”

Think Home Prices Are Going To Fall? Think Again

Over the last two years, the rate of home prices appreciated at a dramatic pace. While that led to incredible equity gains for homeowners, it's also caused some buyers to wonder if home prices will fall. It's important to know the housing market isn't a bubble about to burst, and home price growth is supported by strong market fundamentals. You might be asking: why did home prices climb so much last year? It's because there were more buyers than there were homes for sale. That imbalance put upward pressure on home prices because demand was extremely high, and supply was record low. If you're planning to buy a home, that means you shouldn't wait for home prices to drop to make your purchase. Instead, buying today means you can get ahead of future price increases, and benefit from the rise in prices in the form of home equity.

Bottom Line

Home prices skyrocketed in recent years because there was more demand than supply. As the market shifts, experts aren't forecasting a drop in prices, just a slowdown in the rate of price growth. To understand what's happening with home prices in our area, let's connect today.

FINANCIAL FOCUS: As you know, the stock market has attracted a lot of attention – and for good reason, as we’ve seen considerable volatility almost from the beginning of the year. But if you own bonds, or bond-based mutual funds, you might also have some concerns. However, it’s important to understand why bonds should continue to be an important part of your portfolio.

To begin with, let’s look at what’s hap-

Should you own bonds when interest rates rise?

in an environment such as the current one,

you can reinvest the proceeds of your expiring short-term bonds into new ones issued at potentially higher interest rates. By doing so, you can potentially provide yourself with more income. Also, by owning a mix of bonds, you’ll still have the longer-term ones working for you, and these bonds typically (but not always) pay a higher interest rate than the shorter-term ones. It might not feel pleasant to see the current value of your bonds drop. But if you’re not selling them before they mature, and you take advantage of the opportunities afforded by higher yields, you’ll find that owning bonds can still be a valuable part of your investment strategy. Edward Jones. Member SIPC. Before investing in bonds, you should understand the risks involved, including credit risk and market risk. Bond investments are also subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of bonds can decrease, and the investor can lose principal value if the investment is sold prior to maturity.

After about three years, their daughter (now 15) was born. At first Alessandra told herself “I’ll just take three months off and come back. But it was too hard to leave the baby.” When it was time for her daughter to start kindergarten, “again, I was looking for openings at the Eagle,” she laughs, “and there was one, so I was able to come back.”

Her sister has a house in the Liguria region, and their mother will travel there so the family can be together when Alessandra is visiting. Alessandra will travel there in August and stay for two weeks. “They stay longer, but we live here, so …” she shrugs, referring to the American custom of taking less vacation time than Europeans. When musing upon the differences between Italy and the United States, she says, “I find people to actually be friendlier here, believe it or not. Like here – I guess it’s all over the U.S. – you walk down the street and you say hello to people, you start a conversation with someone. That doesn’t happen in Italy. You stay kind of on your own.” Alessandra’s passion for serving the community extends to her time off as well.

How’s Your Summer?

It’s Prime Time for Tomatoes The colorful, juicy tomato is a welcome addition to any meal! It has a long history as a late summer vegetable treat (although it is classified as a fruit). Today, tomatoes can be found year round in many shapes and sizes, from tiny sweet grape tomato to the meaty beefsteak tomato. The uniquely colored and shaped heirloom tomatoes

are

gaining

popularity.

Tomatoes are versatile - they can be eaten raw or cooked, stewed or canned. While they contain about 95% water, and raw tomatoes are high in vitamin C. Tomatoes originated in Central and South America and can be traced to the early Aztecs. Cortez brought back tomato seeds from his travels to Europe where they at first thought of it as a decorative plant. It didn’t take long until Spain, Italy, Great Britain, India and China began to cultivate the tomato as food in the 1500s. It’s best to buy tomatoes that are firm to the touch, offer a fresh aroma and have no bruises or cracks. Keep them unwashed, stem side down on the counter, out of the sun. The ideal temperature for storage is 55º, one reason it is not recommended to put in the fridge where the colder environment could harm the flavor. To further ripening, store in a paper bag until ripe. Enjoy these colorful gems now!
