AT HOME
The Man, the Myth and the Legend by Denise Lyon Being a parent is not an easy job. This month we have Father’s Day to celebrate and show our dads how much we appreciate them. Whether he is Mr. Adventure, Mr. Literary, Mr. Handyman, Mr. Fashion-Forward, Mr. Tech, Mr. Grill Master, Mr. Jet Fuel (coffee or pilot) or Mr. Remote Control, it’s not too late to spoil him.
Coronado Magazine

You can start the day with something as simple as breakfast in bed, fit for a king, Whatever he likes. Later, consider making his favorite meal, possibly taking it to be enjoyed at the Concert in the Park.
Page 8
Coronado Magazine
Offer Dad a freshly squeezed lemonade (just sugar water and lemons) or a frosty bottle of beer. How about a beautiful glass of bourbon with perfectly clear ice cubes.
Coronado Magazine Page 9 Coronado Magazine Page 9
Gift-giving for Dad can be tough. Consider his likes and past times. Maybe a new fishing lure, a box of cigars or golf balls, or even a new book he’s been wanting to read. Take your wrapping up a notch by adding a fun bow made of measuring tape, a screw, and washers.
Page 10
Coronado Magazine
Another idea is giving Dad a toolbox filled with his favorite snacks (the box can be re-purposed later).
Coronado Magazine

Fathers are super heroes with many identities. They have X-ray vision, are the best chasers of nightmares, Santa’s secret helpers and keepers of wisdom. Dads are coaches, role models, cheerleaders and teachers. Sweet dreams are made of this. Thanks Dad!
Dad, you are the man, the myth and the legend. Happy Father’s Day! Page 12

How to Paint Dad’s Toolbox
by Denise Lyon • Toolbox (Hobby Lobby $7.99 without coupon). • Inexpensive paint brush 1” or larger • 80 grit sandpaper • Chalk or acrylic paint in light green, turquoise and navy blue* • Interior stain, such as Minwax® • Spray polyurethane, shellac or varnish in high gloss
Sand the wood lightly to get some of the rough spots off, but not too much as the roughness helps add to the character. Begin painting with the lightest color of paint. You do not need to clean off brush between colors, but I do brush it on wood until most of the color is gone. Wait a bit for the paint to dry, but it doesn’t have to be completely dry when painting the next layer. I only painted three layers for this toolbox, but I have done up to five. I do not completely cover up the first layer. When the paint is dry or almost dry, sand it with 80 grit sandpaper until you have different paint colors showing through. Especially sand the edges so the wood base shows through. I then use a stain, most often Minwax®, over the top for antique look. Wood sometimes takes a stain really dark so I use something lighter like Early American or Provincial. Cover toolbox completely with stain. After putting on the stain, wipe it off with a rag to lighten up the piece and get the excess stain off.** Use a clear spray to finish pieces; this dries the stain just about instantly. * All wood takes paint and stain differently. ** Stain rags should be put in a bucket of water and not be reused because they are flammable. I throw them out on trash day. Coronado Magazine

PARENTING
Confessions of a Perfect(ish) Mom by Hattie Foote
Dad and the Starbucks Fix I write about mom life a lot, well, because I am a mom. However seeing as this is the month that grill accessories and #1 Dad mugs are sold out everywhere, I am dedicating this one to the special guys in our lives. Now I know every guy is different (kind of) but I don’t think the reality of fatherhood hit my husband until very, very late. I have to share this story, because it’s very appropriate, on theme, and finally, five years later, I can laugh about it. On January 22 we had our very adult, brand new TempurPedic bed delivered. All I wanted was to rest my super pregnant body on that bad boy, but my daughter had other plans. At 1 a.m. my water broke, in said new bed. We called the doctor and they told us to be at the hospital at 5 a.m. I jumped in the shower, excited and terrified of this life changing time that was upon us. When I came back out of the bathroom, the house was quite and dark and I look into our bedroom to see Chris was back asleep! I was a little (a lot) annoyed, but I let him rest because Lord knows he had a very long, hard day ahead of him. Just so you know I am rolling my eyes, very hard, as I write this.

And we took off into the early morning to have a baby. Not before getting lost, of course.
For as much as I give him a hard time, he was an incredible partner throughout the
day. The night ended with a traumatizing emergency C-section, and he was strong and comforting and he took the reins with our girl.
At the hospital they had a photographer come to your room and take newborn pictures, which was the last thing on my mind as I dealt with recovery. Listen lady, I

The Meaning of Fatherhood By Alessandra Selgi-Harrigan What is it about our dads that we admire so much? Is it the memories of when he picked us up in his arms and we flew up in the air to come down safely back into his arms? Or when he taught us how to ride a bike or when he helped us with our homework?
Just like moms, our dads are an anchor to life, someone we can rely on, always, during good and bad times. He is there when we need him. He loves us unconditionally and helps us better understand the hurdles of life. Dad, you are thought of more than you know. Dad, there are many reasons why we love you and look up to you and think of you. In honor of Father’s Day, local dads here offer what being a father means to them.
I wanted a boy, but I got an Angel. I would say that my greatest honor is being the dad of Abigail Boyle. Along with my wife, Lori, we have had the pleasure for the past 18 years to watch the development of our baby girl. She is a ray of sunshine for everyone she meets. What most people don’t realize is this wonderful caring person with the heart of gold, has shown this warm kind spirit in spite of having a debilitating disease for over a decade. Her teachers, school administrators, other parents have paid us the greatest compliments about Abby and her sweet soul. The apex of this praise was highlighted when she was chosen Homecoming Queen at CHS for 2018. Abby - I love you and I’m so proud of the person you have become. Love Papa Dan Boyle Father of Abby

From left, Penny, Ben and Nancy While fathers are generally pilloried for delivering bad jokes and embarrassing our kids, and I have no quarrel with this cliché, our influence is deeply important and impactful. Growing up, my father would volunteer his time and expertise with nonprofit organizations and never really talk about it, but my siblings and I saw it and it molded us. We just knew it was important to get engaged with your community. Around the neighborhood he would always pick up litter never pressuring us to do it; however, now I’ve developed the habit. Actions speak louder than words. Through his behavior I have learned what it means to be a good father and citizen, albeit with flaws.

The challenge of parenting, and maybe particularly for a dad, is to adapt to constantly changing circumstances. Kids’ needs and wants change constantly, especially with more than one, which makes for a lot of parental catch-up. A newborn’s colic turns to potty training turns to team sports and then graduating from high school, seemingly in an instant. It’s a job without a training program or a qualification test, and it goes 24/7 for many years. But if you can pull yourself back from the minuteby-minute details and take a big picture view, it’s the best job in the world. Darwin “Duke” Clark, CMD USN, ret. Father of Patrick and Liam Duke, Liam, 19, wife Marg Stark, and Patrick, 21.
Dad life is filled with sharing adventures, joy, love, lots of laughter, a lot of testing moments with patience, and I truly appreciate it all. I’m so blessed to be married to an amazing woman, Melissa, and to be a father of three boys! Curren age 5, Slater age 3, and baby Dane due next month. This Bible verse encourages and helps me everyday in being the best Dad I can be. “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 Jeremy Handysides Father of Curren, Slater and soon-to-be Dane

Fatherhood has been, by far, the greatest and most rewarding achievement of my life and more fun than I ever could have imagined. Three best friends for life! I have my beautiful wife of 33 years Zarina, my son Nelson who works with me at Holland’s, my daughter Alexis who recently married and is living in Key West, Florida, and my television actor son Parker currently living in Coronado and his high-school sweetheart Stephanie, the mother of my 11 month old grand-daughter. I have a growing family of best-friend in-laws, too. Fatherhood….the greatest thing ever! Karl Young, Father of Parker, Nelson and Alexis
From left, Nelson, 26, wife Zarina, Karl, Alexis, 21, Parker, 30, and Stephanie.
I truly love my wife; I found happiness at her side. I still love my parents long gone and brothers and friends that still remain, but it wasn’t until the instant my son was born that I realized how much more I was capable to love. To look into one son’s eyes and see my own soul peeking at me from inside is the most enlightening experience. It is an endless fight to become the best that I can be for him and constantly feel short in time and action to actually prove it. It is continuously taking the hard choices but for all the right reasons and its constantly looking at his future, hoping it will be kind to him, but knowing my place in his life will reside in his own past. Ricardo Del Rio and Rick, 11
But being a father is mostly about being gentle to my son, to be there for him and to teach by example, to help him
be a happy child, a gentle man and a generous old man. I can only aim to teach him to be the kind of dad my own father was to me; one who deeply loves his son and when he looks inside his eyes, discovers the truth that carries on. To be a father is to re-learn to love my wife, my father, mother, brothers and friends in the selfless way I love my son. Only then will I truly become the best dad I can be for him.

WAY OF LIFE
The Five Important Elements of a Custom Closet by Jessica Tompane - Principal and Owner J Hill Interiors, Inc.
Page 34
Coronado Magazine
WAY OF LIFE Everyone dreams of a walk-in closet fully customized with designated spaces for clothes, shoes, bags, ties, belts, suits, etc. A place where everything is organized and divided into sections perfectly suited to each garment. If you have a large in-wall space or a small area to work with, there are a few easy components to customize your closet so it feels more luxurious: Short Hang - This is for your shirts, blazers, blouses, and pants if you fold
Keep in mind you cannot do LED underlighting if they are adjustable. Lighting - Make sure you have
doors with glass or cabinetry, fully open or a mix of both. This all boils down to preference, so you can’t go wrong

them over a hanger. This section should be about 42”-60”H and take up 2/3 of your hanging space. Most clothes fit in this short hang section. You can maximize your real estate by doing a double short hang in which you stack them one on top of the other. Long Hang – This is for your dresses, suits, pants hung long, skirts, and longer jackets. Long hang should be approximately 72” in height. Long hang should take up the other 1/3 of your hanging space. Shoe Storage - A tilted shoe rack that sits below your clothes is a great option for displaying shoes. These can be pull-out or stationary. If you want to take it up a notch, there are clear shoe drawers that allow you to see each pair while keeping them organized and free of dust. These shoe cases are stackable and can easily fit on shelves or below your long hang. Shelving - Shelves can fill any extra space you have in your closet. Large or small, shelves are always useful! Place the shelves 12”-15” apart for maximum usability; preferably adjustable. These can often be used for handbags, shoe boxes and small luggage. Coronado Magazine

The Glorietta Bay Inn
Coronado Magazine
Page 39
On the corner of Glorietta Boulevard and Orange Avenue sits a mansion, the former home of the Sugar Baron John D. Spreckels. Known as Dia Alegres, or Glorietta Motor Inn in the past, it is now known as the Glorietta Bay Inn. The home was originally built in 1908 for $35,000. It featured electric lights, and a tunnel connecting the home’s water and electric system to the Hotel del Coronado’s generator. To this day, the brass caged elevator, a marble staircase with leather padded handrails and skylights throughout the home are still intact. Spreckels had a love of two things, sailing and music, and his home indulges both. It’s a short walk to the bay for sailing and he included a music room for his enjoyment. At the time the music room was being built, Spreckels also added a third floor solarium with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, San Diego Bay and the mountains of Mexico. Today it is still a top destination for those who love sailing and music can be heard from the current self-playing piano in the music room. It’s a step back in time when riding the original two persona brass-caged elevator to the solarium, now the Penthouse suite, where the entire third floor of the mansion offers beautiful views of the Bay and the Island from a different perspective Glorietta Bay Inn welcomes visitors from near and far. Local families enjoy their time with us during the fall and winter holiday season. It’s a nice way to take in their home town and a chance to experience the mansion. While history and renovations have changed the property, the main mansion home continues to be just that, a home. Each room has been individually decorated and they offer extra treats like plush robes, turn down service, milk and cookies at bedtime, as well as breakfast delivered to the room. Located on the second floor, the Spreckels Suite was the living room/sun room of John Spreckels. Its French doors open to a panoramic view of the bay, where today you can enjoy morning breakfast or evening refreshments with an ocean breeze welcoming you to relax. Adjacent to the Spreckels suite, is the Sugar Baron Suite, which was originally Mrs. Spreckels’ rooms off the master suite. Today it is a sleeping area and sitting room overlooking the pool and the bay.
The Garden Suite, located on the first floor, was originally the butler’s pantry and is now one of the only rooms in the house with its own private entrance with a patio and sitting area. Six other rooms are located on the second floor, each with its own unique decor. These were the rooms of the Spreckels children and grandchildren who spent their summers in Coronado. All rooms have kept their original light fixtures where possible, hardware and fixtures have been maintained or replaced with period pieces circa 1920. A few rooms still have wall safes dating back to the early 1920s. Outside of the mansion are 89 modern contemporary rooms that feature everything from single rooms to family suites. Our family suite features two bedroom apartments with kitchenettes while our one bedroom suites feature a full kitchen, with sofa sleeper that will accommodate a family of four. All rooms feature complimentary amenities, robes, free Wi-Fi, in-room entertainment as well our newly refillable bath products that will help reduce plastic by 95%. This helps our guests feel spoiled without spoiling the environment.

The Inn has also implemented a green option to skip housekeeping to save water and energy during stays at the Inn. Glorietta Bay Inn hopes these initiatives will help guests choose accommodations that are eco-friendly and feel good about their stay while enjoying beautiful Coronado. The option to lounge in the luxurious accommodations is tempting, but the Glorietta Bay Inn provides other activities to enjoy, including the heated outdoor pool and hot tub and the Music Room with books and games to partake in, just as the Spreckels Family would do while on vacation here. Towels, beach chairs and sand toys are available for guests to bring to the sparkling sands of Coronado Beach, across the street from Glorietta Bay Inn, with views of Point Loma to the north and Silver Strand Beach to the south. Bike and Surrey rentals are located along the beach path to take in more of the area. We enjoy sending guests to our local shops and restaurants, the staff certainly has their favorites. The best part is that many are within walking distance from fast dining to fine dining. Local food specials to custom cocktails and craft beers provide fuel for shopping along Orange Avenue. This walkers’ paradise has a collection of boutique stores with clothing, gifts, souvenirs and art dotting both sides of the palm tree lined street. In addition to the beach path, a wide bike path meanders down to the Silver Stand separate from vehicular traffic. A Ferry ride to San Diego is a 15 minute trip across the bay to Seaport Village for a different perspective of Coronado from the water. To be able to enjoy the area without driving is quite special and makes you feel like a guest, even if you live here! A stay in the Historic Mansion of Glorietta Bay Inn will rejuvenate and allow guests to relish the days of yore, yet has the comforts of modern-day Coronado to make for a perfect vacation in your own backyard!

OPERATION HOME LIFE
My Country ’Tis of Thee by Krysta Murray Quite a few Americans display an American flag all year long on their home. Maybe they have a pole on their porch or a garden flag in the yard. Government businesses have flagpoles out front, one always with the American flag, then usually a state and city flag accompanying them. We are about to see a whole lot more stars and stripes with the upcoming holidays too. When we lived in Spain, we were stationed on a Spanish base. A different flag flew over the entrances, the businesses, the homes. The only time you could see the American flag, it would be inside, on an American ship, or on the Fourth of July when the Spanish admiral granted permission to the Americans to raise the star spangled banner on the usually vacant flagpole outside the main building for the long weekend. I spent my last four Fourth of July holidays overseas.

realized maybe I should aim to do that), but interesting to hear their misconceptions of us bad way. I did a lot of traveling with friends that every state is unique. In our own country a whole, or in some cases prove that stereotype from all parts of our country, so sometimes we have misconceptions of ourselves. It was exactly right, and not always in a good or a people got a true blend of the definition of Americans. Funny though how in the States we have certain accents depicting where we are from, but outside of our borders, it’s just simply an American accent. Now that we’re back in the States, I have a different admiration for the flag. We even have one on our porch now. I am looking forward to celebrating a Fourth of July back here, and this month, acknowledging our flag on Flag Day, June 14. Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. America’s national color palette has been set since 1818. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary of that decree by officially establishing June 14 as Flag Day. A law stated the American flag was to sport 13 alternating red and white horizontal stripes—one for each of the original colonies—and a white star for each state on a blue field. Every time the United States admitted another state, a new star was added to the flag and a new pattern was needed. The current American flag is the longest-tenured banner in American history. It was officially raised for the first time on the Fourth of July in 1960 at Baltimore’s Fort McHenry, the same location that inspired Coronado Magazine

I look forward to seeing the stars and stripes banner waving in the wind, all the red white and blue everything and patriotic party attire on the Fourth. Mostly though, I look forward to telling my son what it is all about and why we do it. Because when that flag is raised I want him to have that same sense of patriotism Americans did when those six United States Marines raised it atop Mount Suribachi, during the Battle of Iwo Jima, in World War II. Or when the Apollo 11 crew planted the flag of the United States on the moon. I want him to root for his country in the Olympics or in the World Cup. When you attend a showing at the base movie theater, the national anthem is played with inspiring video footage before each movie. My son knows this and doesn’t settle into his seat until it is done. He puts his popcorn aside, pops out of his seat and stands. He puts his hand over his heart when he recites the pledge of allegiance and it makes me proud that he knows why. That daddy is standing at attention beside him. That on Memorial Day, we remember those who died fighting and honor their service to our nation. On the Fourth of July, we remember those who fought for our freedom and celebrate the victories as a nation. No matter our differences as individuals, we as a people are one. * Facts obtained from history.com

About Last Month’s Cover When we were thinking about what we wanted to convey on May’s cover, the idea of making mom an incredible breakfast in bed came to mind. We all like food, and who doesn’t like to be pampered at the beginning of the day? And we know moms especially deserve it. Denise Lyon, from our At Home section, loves food and has an artistic eye for displaying it. We came up with the idea of a mountain of pancakes, coffee, an egg and fruit. Denise found the perfect tray, added seasonal flowers and got to work in the kitchen. A stack of steaming pancakes later, we began our photo shoot. Our breakfast in bed photos came out great, no matter what angle we shot it at. The snowy white linens, the cozy throw blanket, the sun streaming in the window added to the ambiance. In the end, the choices of which photo to use was difficult. They all looked beautiful and inviting. We were the lucky ones. After the photo shoot, you guessed it, we had breakfast! Page 48

CORONADO COOKS
CORONADO COOKS: Karen Sue Butler - The Cookie Lady by Linda L. Austin Known as the Cookie Lady by many, Karen Sue Butler is a baker extraordinaire. She bakes dozens of cookies every holiday to take to friends, 16 dozen last Easter. “It’s what I do,” she says. When her children were young, she baked because she thought “children should have something sweet.” After school, the neighborhood children would gather at her house. “Cristy’s mom has cookies [they would say], cookies and milk” said Butler. “It was fun having them over.” Now she takes pleasure in gifting her cookies and passing on the joy of baking with her four grandchildren. Since her husband Fred is not much of a dessert eater, she has found a way to satisfy her passion for baking, hence the cookie gifts. Her favorite cookies to make are chocolate chip and snickerdoodles, but cutout cookies appear during the holidays. Her cutout cookies are not elaborately decorated, but simply elegant. Dusted with William Sonoma Sanding Sugar, they are just delicious. Her baking is not limited to cookies,
Butler has visions of her mother making homemade chicken noodle soup, rolling out the noodles by hand on a floured tea towel and hanging them over chairs to dry. “She believes chicken noodle soup is truly a healer,” said Butler.
however. As a member of P.E.O. Chapter D Gourmet Club, she often volunteers to make the dessert even if it is a bit involved with multiple steps. She enjoys the challenge of trying new recipes, especially from “Cooks Illustrated.” Admitting you must have patience for those recipes, she likes the stepby-step directions and pictures to show what it should look like. “Tackling a complicated recipe is like jumping a hurdle,” said Butler. Her love for baking has evolved since she rarely cooked before marriage. “Mother was queen of the kitchen but not a baker, an excellent but messy cook. Before you started something, you had to clean the kitchen.”
Butler’s first foray into cooking was with a Betty Crocker cookbook given to her by her sorority sister. Another early cookbook was “365 Ways to Cook Hamburger,” simple recipes for the new bride. One recipe baked dried noodles in tomato soup. When Butler made it the second time, Fred confessed, “Honey, I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but this is awful.” Fred’s job took them to interesting locations. When he was associated with building an air base as part of the Camp David Accord, they lived in Israel, “a beautiful area with 40 feet of snow each year.” While living in a Canadian construction camp, Mica Creek, Butler became a “Suzy Homemaker”. The community had only a little bank, a grocery store, a recreation center, and a Royal Canadian Police station. The residents entertained each other, and much of the Coronado Magazine
Page 49
entertaining centered around food. Butler learned to can food and bake; her bread was well received. Both Mark and Christy were born in Mica Creek. With her husband running a large equipment company, Manitowoc Company in Wisconsin, she did business entertaining for 40 to 50 people. Today the entertaining is more casual: taking friends out on the electric boat and having an array of appetizers.
Bold and Spicy Gingerbread Cake The stout adds a unique richness to the cake. An equal amount of orange or lemon juice can be substituted for the ginger ale in the glaze. Adapted from Cook’s Country.
While Fred likes comfort food such as beef stroganoff and potatoes, when it comes to dessert he chooses pie over cake for birthday celebrations. Butler likes making cherry pie but admits it is difficult to find sour cherries; canned pie filling is not acceptable. Strawberry rhubarb pie is another favorite to make. Her children got themed birthday cakes. Before the cake molds were available, she would fashion her own creations to fit their current interests. For Cristy she made castle cakes and for Mark a Spiderman figure cake. When the family comes to dinner, Butler chooses simple recipes or do-ahead ones, so she can enjoy their company: ribs or steak with baked potatoes. Not one to prefer cooking alone, she welcomes help from the grandchildren: Hennessey, 18; Bailey, 21; Kiera, 7; and Nolan, 4. Butler volunteers at her mother’s assisted living residence. Her weekly visit entails entertaining the residents with Bible study, singing, and sometimes her cookies or birthday cakes. After baking, Butler loves to sew and learned at an early age. She is also an avid reader. Seldom can you mention a book she has not read, and she often suggests the book club selection. Her favorite book is “Mere Christianity;”by C.S. Lewis and she loves historical fiction, especially World War II stories; and autobiographies. With her varied interests, Butler never has time to contemplate boredom. Visits to see the children and grandchildren, baking, gourmet club, sewing, volunteering, traveling, and reading fill more than waking hours for this busy lady. Page 50

Millionaire’s Shortbread
For a caramel filling with the right texture, monitor the temperature with an instant-read thermometer. Stir often while melting the chocolate and don’t overheat it. Adapted from Cook’s Illustrated, makes about 40 cookies. Absolutely worth the effort.
For the crust: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350º. Make foil sling for 13 by 9-inch baking pan using heavy duty aluminum foil, with extra foil hanging over the edge. Push foil into corners and up sides of pan, smoothing foil flush to pan. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir with rubber spatula until flour is evenly moistened. Crumble dough evenly over bottom of prepared pan. Press and smooth dough into even thickness. Using fork, pierce dough at 1-inch intervals. Bake until light golden brown and firm to touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack. Using sturdy metal spatula, press on entire surface of warm crust to compress (this will make finished bars easier to cut). Let crust cool until it is just warm, at least 20 minutes.
For the filling: Stir all ingredients together in large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture registers between 236º and 239º (temperature will fluctuate), 16 to 20 minutes. Pour over crust and spread to even thickness (mixture will be very hot). Let cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 cup packed (7 ounces) brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup corn syrup 8 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 teaspoon salt
For chocolate topping: Microwave chopped chocolate in bowl at 50 percent power, stirring every 15 seconds, until melted but not much warmer than body temperature, 1 to 2 minutes.

Cut each strip crosswise into 10 equal pieces. Shortbread can be stored at room temperature, between layers of parchment, for up to 1 week.

Karen’s Sugar Cookies
“The sugar cookie ingredients are what you would expect, but the delicious flavor exceeded my expectations. The cookies freeze well and were still fresh tasting three days later.” Linda 2 cups flour ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt ¾ cup unsalted butter 1 cup sugar 1 large egg ½ teaspoon vanilla Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt. Mix butter and sugar with paddle attachment or hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes at medium high speed. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture. Mix just until combined. Pat into discs; wrap; and chill at least 4 hours. Make logs and slice into circular cookies or for cut out cookies, roll out dough on well-floured mat to desired thinness. Use as much extra flour as needed to make a non-sticky dough. Sprinkle with sanding sugar or leave plain to decorate. Bake on parchment lined trays at 375º for 8 to 10 minutes, longer for crispy cookies.

What’s in Season?
Sweet Strawberries
Originally, strawberries were the food of royalty. It wasn’t until 14th century France when cultivated strawberries first appeared, having been transplanted from the forests into gardens. The combination of strawberries and cream came about in the court of King Henry VIII and was served to newlyweds on their wedding day. It was believed to be an aphrodisiac.
While the strawberry season in the U.S. is late May through July, they can be found year round in the grocery store. Lucky for us - the little red berry is actually a powerhouse of potassium, vitamins C, K, and A, folic acid, manganese, fiber and phosphorus. This translates as the perfect food to fight diabetes, constipation, high blood pressure, cancer, stroke and heart disease. Technically, the strawberry is not a berry; it holds its seeds on the outside. Once picked, it stops ripening, so when shopping look for berries that are deep red in color, plump, unblemished and firm. Be sure leaves are attached and they’re free of mold. Strawberries are best eaten within a few days of purchase. Store in a cold, dry environment such as the refrigerator, to avoid mold. Before consuming, rinse in cool water, remove stems. Strawberries can be frozen and used later in baked goods. Rinse and dry whole berries, line on parchment paper and freeze six hours, then transfer to a freezer bag. These can be frozen up to three months. Pick up some ruby-red strawberries and enjoy the food of royalty!

CORONADO’S YESTERYEAR
Remembering Forgotten Places: The Federal Housing Project By Vickie Stone, Curator of Collections, Coronado Historical Association Coming off the heels of celebrating National Preservation Month, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s theme “This Place Matters.” Here in Coronado, it’s easy to celebrate the lavish places that make our community special. We’re surrounded by charming bungalows, oceanside mansions, and I’d be remiss not mentioning the Hotel del Coronado—a Victorian-era Queen Anne style national treasure. In addition to celebrating these places, the theme “This Place Matters” also challenges us to think of places that are not as glamorous, but meaningful nonetheless. One place that I have found has left the majority of Coronado’s collective memory is the Federal Housing Project. Between 1940 and 1945, what was the small city of Coronado grew to over 25,000 residents. The Second World War brought servicemen, their families, and those who found work on the naval base.

the dwellings. This was met with some resistance from Project residents. Mrs. O. C. Chapman, a Sunday School teacher told City Council, “While our husbands were in the war, they were good enough. You were glad to have them. Now you want to get rid of us.” Many other residents realized the issues with the Projects and did not oppose redevelopment. However, they did not like the characterization it placed on families living there. Mrs. C. D. Brown remarked, “Some [Project] residents come from just as nice families as anywhere in Coronado, they just have no other place to live.” In 1953, a petition signed by nearly 1,300 tenants requested reconsideration by the City. The petition was unsuccessful, and soon the first five buildings were brought down. Despite the action to demolish some of the structures, many of the buildings were still standing by 1968, although they sat empty without tenants and the foundations of the downed buildings remained. It wasn’t until the early 1970s that all remnants of the Federal Housing Project were gone. Though still very much a “Navy Town,” Coronado does not have the same presence of active duty members and their families as it once did. What were the lasting effects of the Federal Housing Project and its drawn-out and controversial end? This is one of the many questions that the Coronado Historical Association is digging into as we consider the many ways “This Place Matters.” Beyond National Preservation Month, the Coronado Historical Association is working hard to celebrate the glorious places and those less remarkable that contribute to our town’s history. We are diligently recording and educating about the places that are often forgotten—the places that aren’t built in a high-style architecture, or are lost to time, but still have a lasting impact on our community.

College Costs:
How to Pass the Stress Test by Andy McNamara, CFP®
Congratulations! Your son or daughter was accepted into college. Now what? It’s that time of the year again when high school seniors decide which university they will attend in the fall. While students are stressed out by the biggest decision of their young adult lives, their parents are stressed for the same reason and another big reason: how are we going to pay for their education? If this is the first time you have really thought about it, don’t panic. There are some things you can do immediately as your next steps: Have a very honest conversation with your spouse about your current assets and budget. If you are in a position to help out your child with tuition, books, etc., that is wonderful. But all too often we have seen parents financially “over help” their child and it may materially degrade their own ability to be self-sufficient later in life and manage their own saving funds, including retirement. Additionally, as parents, of course you want the best for your kids, and helping them pay for college is a good investment in their future, but consider the cost to your own future as well. They have the rest of their working lives ahead of them to pay back their loans, while you may just have a few years left until retirement. Consider reducing the cost of college by staying in state or taking advantage of the community college system. Enrolling in community college can be a cost effective solution for your child to figure out their chosen major while earning their general education requirements. There are many student loan options and tax credits available. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the American Opportunity

Tax Tips Before and After Getting Married
TAXES & YOU
By Nathan Ihm, EA If you are recently married, plan to get married, or know someone getting married, here are some important tax tips every new bride or groom should know. Notify Social Security. Notify the Social Security Administration (SSA) of name changes by filling out Form SS-5. IRS matches names with SSA and may reject your joint tax return if the names on your tax return do not match what the SSA has on file. Review your benefits and beneficiaries. Getting married allows you to make mid-year changes to employer benefit plans. Review health, dental, auto, and home insurance plans and update your coverage and beneficiaries. If both of you have employer health plans, decide if it makes sense to keep your plans or if it is better for one to join the other’s plan as a spouse. Also check Health Savings Accounts, dependent childcare benefits, and other employer pre-tax benefits. Also consider updating the beneficiary on retirement accounts, bank accounts, insurance policies, and pensions. Update your withholding. You may need to recalculate your payroll withholding and file new W-4s. If you both work, your combined income could put you in a higher tax bracket and make your income too high income for you to claim certain credits. This phenomenon is known as the “marriage penalty.� Make sure to run the math or seek assistance before changing your withholding. Understand the tax impact of your residence. Prior to getting married you should look at the tax consequences if you plan to sell a property or properties and consolidate into one. Selling before or after the nuptials could save you thousands depending on the situation. Sit down with an expert. A simple tax and financial planning session prior to the big day can eliminate future headaches and avoid potentially expensive tax mistakes. Coronado Magazine
