Autumn Any Day Now...

2018 Coronado Magazine - August Page 13 7 Coronado Magazine

PARENTING

I love Coronado. Ninety percent of the time it’s pretty darn wonderful.

However, if I have to be honest, I wish we had a fall season. Like a real leaf crunching, hot apple cider drinking, scarf wearing fall. Even as I type this, I feel like a jerk because I should (and do) appreciate the fact that I can (and do) go to our beautiful beach literally any day of the year. So just because it’s not a crisp 58 degree day, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a magical autumn experience!

Ambience is huge to me. I like to feel like I’m in a Meg Ryan movie or a Lifetime special. I need a quaint, cozy spot to really get me in the mood. Luckily for me, and actually all of us, Clayton’s Bakery & Bistro has opened and it is the stuff that seasonal fantasy are made of!

Being fully transparent I write these columns a month ahead of time, so when we went for breakfast one August morning, I was fully committed to my craft. I wore a sweater and ordered three beautiful, hot drinks and pretended I wasn’t pouring sweat underneath.

The food was outstanding, the service was incredible, and it was a 10/10 crowd pleaser for my crew! Do yourself a favor and order the Dutch Baby.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Home Away From Home at College

Congratulations!

You’re off to college! This is where it all gets “real.” It can be intimidating at times, but never fear, I’ll show you how to go from unmoored freshman to thriving college extraordinaire.

STEP 1: Decorate your personal jail cell, you’ll be spending a lot of time there.

You’ve arrived at *insert your university name here*, you did it! As you walk down the dimly lit hall, replete with softly flickering fluorescent lights, stopping at your door you’re greeted by a small room reminiscent of a prison cell. Bare walls, small beds, and linoleum floors. It doesn’t exactly feel like “home.” But don’t despair. Decorate. Think about things you liked in your room at home—photos of friends, a favorite band poster, a stack of beloved books, those cheesy glow in the dark stars we had as kids—and

STEP 4: Sign up for clubs.

But try to cap it at three, you’re not going to 10 different meetings, let’s be real here.

Rock club, movie buffs club, bird watchers club, musical theatre club, underwater basket weaving, you name it—if you’re going to a big university there truly is a student organization for everything. As soon as you get on campus find out when the club fair is happening. Most universities will host one during welcome week or within the first month of classes. Clubs are an awesome way to have an outlet for your creativity and meet people along the way. I met some of my closest friends—people I still talk to postgraduation—at the student newspaper The Daily. But here’s the pro tip: stop at three.

While everything will sound exciting, reign yourself in. Realistically, you can’t make it to all those meetings. Here’s my strategy: pick a personal hobby club, a professional pursuit

STEP 7: Stake out your on-campus hang.

Pick an on-campus study spot and hangout too. It’ll make you feel connected and familiar with campus, and the best part? It’s free. Within your first week on campus scope out the libraries, common areas and student unions. Look for hidden tables. Establishing a spot that’s regular and feels like yours will further make you feel at home. When you live on campus it’s great to have a study spot to retreat to that is less than a handful of minutes walk away. It’s also a great way to establish a meeting spot with that person you struck up a conversation on that first day of classes! (You did that, right?)

STEP 8: Plan a dorm-wide event.

Nothing bonds people like snacks and ice breakers, aimirite? That first week, everyone feels vulnerable. This is the best time to come together and bond. Start by hanging out in the common area. Pop some popcorn, buy movie candy and make it clear that it’s there to be shared. Knock on doors and invite people out. My freshman year I planned a Page 16

COLLEGE

Homesickness: What Parents Can Do

by Susie Clifford We received the best advice about letting freshman get used to their new surroundings when we dropped our first child off at college.

“You will get a phone call,” the college administrators said, “one where everything is going wrong. They’re in an argument with their roommate, they were late to class, no one is around to have dinner with, the bed is lumpy, no one likes them, they picked the wrong major. In short, they are unhappy, lonely, stressed and disappointed. Just as you hang up the phone, someone knocks on your child’s door extending an invitation to join a group going out for pizza. And they end up having a great time, while you sit home and worry.”

The drop off at college is sudden and the transition to their new life phase will take some time. Their anxiety is normal. Many colleges and universities have programs for that first week of school with opportunities to meet other students and to keep them busy. But there are things that parents, and even grandparents, can do to help the college student feel more comfortable with his being away from home.

Listen, reassure, offer suggestions. Basically, as parents you will hear the worst. Be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions for a while. While you are also getting used to your child not being around, don’t be too eager to call or text them frequently. Let them reach out to you, as hard as that might be.

Give them a time reference. Remind them why they are there and ask them their thoughts for how long they think it will take to adjust. Set a specific time when you might see them next, be it parents weekend, Thanksgiving or Christmas. Set a time to FaceTime or Skype them, or even call. This actually helps you both.

Send an element of home to them. Getting a package or letter in the mail can be very uplifting. You can send a favorite memento, a

or send something silly (but useful) like extra socks and laundry detergent. Add in a note from home from everyone, or a clip of a funny cartoon. Send a card or a letter. Anything thoughtful will be much appreciated.

Suggest help. Obviously, if they are having a very difficult time, have them talk with their RA or suggest college resources. If possible, you don’t want to bring them back home. Those first six weeks or so are critical in learning how to cope and mature into the self-sufficient adult you want them to become. If with time, the school is not a good fit, for whatever reason, that decision won’t be due to homesickness.

Most kids make it through the homesickness spell and go on to have a fun, productive time away from home.

There Is a Season “To everything (turn, turn, turn)

There is a season (turn, turn, turn)…” *

There Is a Season - and It’s Fall

Autumn can seem almost non-existent when summer weather continues into September here in Coronado.

However, there are subtle changes. Tourists go home, Sunday Concerts in the Park are over, kids go off to school, football returns. Our days are getting shorter as gourds and pumpkins begin to make an appearance at our local grocery stores.

The fall season offers the opportunity of transformation. Just as some of our leaves are changing color, why not take advantage of this time to transform ourselves? Now is the perfect time to embrace setting a few goals.

Time to sleep…

Adjust yourself and your family’s sleep habits. Try for 7-9 hours of sleep as an adult. Teens need about 9 1/2 hours of sleep, while elementary and middle school students should get 9-11 hours of sleep a night.

Make an effort to go to sleep and wake up at the same time, if possible, including weekends.

Avoid afternoon and evening caffeine, darken your room and ban your phone or computer an hour before you go to bed. Having good sleep habits can be rewarding; you’ll feel more refreshed and ready to take on the day.

Time to explore a new hobby…

There are so many options out there vying for some of your free time. This is the perfect time to dabble in some art, take up swimming, learn to play the guitar, explore a new language and so much more. The Coronado Recreation Department and the Coronado Unified School District’s Adult Education have a lot of classes available. You’re sure to find something intriguing to give a go.

Coronado Coronado Magazine Magazine

Time to rethink your work environment Clean your desk or work space and make it a habit to keep it that way.

Once it is clutter-, crumb-, and germ-free, it is an inviting space. Items are easier to find, to-do list chores are more likely to get checked off and there will be less stress just sitting down.

Find a time once a week, such as Friday afternoons, to organize and clean.

What’s in Season?

Luscious Figs

Figs are not as popular as other fruits, but that’s not a good reason to shy away from them. They are sweet and delectable, perfect for desserts, but compliment so many dishes. While often a staple in Mediterranean dishes, one appetizer, salty prosciutto wrapped around a tender, sweet fig, dates back to the Roman Empire.

Fresh figs have two seasons; one in early June to July and the second one from late August through October. The purply Black Mission fig is probably the most popular, but the purple Brown Turkey and the light green Kadota are close seconds, with the yellow Calimyrna following them. California grows the most figs in the U.S. and lucky for us, dried figs can be found year round and can sometimes be substituted for fresh figs in recipes.

While sweet, figs are low in calories, high in dietary fiber, potassium and manganese.

Figs are fragile, so when purchasing, be careful when testing them for give and plumpness. Wrinkles are normal. If there is some weeping or leaking from the stem they are ready to eat now. To store, remove from their container, place on a paper towel-lined plate and place in the refrigerator. They should keep for about a week. To freeze, lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Remove and place into an airtight freezer bag.

Enjoy this treasure of a fruit!

Grilled Mexican Street Corn

ELOTES

by Krysta Murray The first time I heard about Mexican Corn On the Cob, or elote, I’m pretty sure I scrunched up my face in confusion. The ingredients are not ones I would have thought to put on corn. I had always been a butter and salt corn on the cob kind of person.

Thank goodness for being open to trying new things, because Mexican Street Corn is delicious. Step up your corn game and make this traditional Mexican street corn at your next summer cookout.

Prep time is closer to 15 minutes if you need to crumble cheese and cook time is 10 minutes. If you aren’t able to find traditional Mexican crema in your local grocery store, you may substitute regular sour cream. You can also substitute grated Parmesan cheese for the cotija, but to stay traditional, shoot for cream and cotija. Adapted from thenoshery.com.

In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, sour cream or crema, and garlic. Mix until well combined, set aside. Spread cheese crumbles on a plate, set aside. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt, set aside.

Heat grill, make sure grates are clean. Brush grill grate with vegetable oil. Heat grill to high heat. Place corn directly on the grill, turning occasionally until cooked and lightly charred golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Vegetable oil for brushing 6 ears of sweet corn, shucked 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream or Mexican crema 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro Kosher salt

Immediately brush the corn with mayonnaise mixture.

Roll corn in cheese crumbles then sprinkle with chili powder mixture and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges to be squeezed over the corn.

From My Shelf to Yours: Books For Every Fall Mood

by Aly Brady Coronado Magazine

Page 31

BOOKS

Page 32

Coronado Magazine

BOOKS For the New England-er:

“On Beauty” by Zadie Smith Set amidst the cozy pumpkin and russet leaf-strewn backdrop of a quaint New England town, “On Beauty” follows two families at war with one another: the liberal Belseys and the conservative Kipps. What follows is a battle of family dispute as they challenge, compliment and inspire one another. Zadie Smith’s laugh-out-loud and thoughtful prose will pull your eyes down the page as will her life-like characters. It’s full of familial debate and the search for personal identity: the lifeblood of fall reflection.

For the Earnest Soul Searcher: “Sweetbitter” by Stephanie Danler

“Pick up!” is what the chef shouts to the waiters within the hallowed halls of one of Manhattan’s glitziest restaurants.

“Pick up” is also what I say for this coming of age novel set amidst the fast-paced backdrop of the New York City restaurant industry. Danler’s whipsmart 368-paged debut follows a 22-year-old girl through the seasons as her palette awakens to elevated eating and new life experiences. It’s the ideal fall read: full of fresh starts and self-discovery.

For the Thrill Seeker: “The Thirteenth Tale” by Diane Setterfield

While Halloween isn’t until October, fall is a great time to slip into some atmospheric spookiness. When reclusive author, Vida Winter, longs to disclose her anticipated life story she summons young biographer Margaret Lea to record, and decipher, her history. But what Lea finds is anything but an ordinary life story, and it’s all the more terrifying. Grab your favorite blanket—and keep a light on—this one will keep the thrills coming late into the September evenings.

For the Mystery Lover: “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt

What’s more autumnal than a historic East Coast college in the fall semester? In Donna Tartt’s first novel (you’ll recognize her name if you’ve read her Pulitzer prize-winning “The Goldfinch”), a group of young Classics students become immersed in an unorthodox form of learning under the guidance of their enigmatic professor. But what starts as mere intellectual curiosity spirals out of control, and ultimately, into violence. Who can resist a murder mystery under the fall trees?

For the Nostalgic Historian: “Rules of Civility” by Amor Towles

“Rules” follows the revels and mishaps of a trio of 20-somethings in Roaring 20s era New York. While the novel is set in winter, there’s something refreshingly fall in this nostalgic look into urban youth. Through the trio’s social climbing, late night parties and disillusionment this is the perfect book to inspire reflection, accompanied by a warm mug of coffee or tea.

The Cherokee Lodge has been a little known secret since 1997, but a part of Coronado history for decades. Frequently people ask why our name is “Cherokee Lodge”, if I own the lodge, and how it came to be what it is today.

Some of you know the history, but for those of you who don’t, allow me introduce you to the Cherokee Lodge.

The name was derived from the Cherokee rose hedges that bordered the sides of the property for many years. Today, you can find the Cherokee rose growing all over the property with its vibrant white flower framing our nearly 130 year old building.

The Cherokee Rose isn’t the only plant that makes this property special. The orange tree in the front yard has wonderfully sweet oranges, as well as lemons, cumquats and an apple tree at the back of the house.

Cherokee Lodge owner Ed Melvin often shares a fond story about his mother, who was told many of these fruits and flowers would never grow in Coronado. Years later, she continues to prove them wrong.

Most information we have available about the lodge has been recounted by Ed in his colorful and detailed memories.

Cherokee Lodge

A VACATION IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

The Cherokee Lodge began as a lodging house and is said to be the oldest temporary occupancy establishment in Coronado after the Hotel del Coronado. In 1896, two houses of unknown years were barged over from National City.

Those two structures, along with a third main house, were ruggedly connected with no real foundation to create the structure you see today.

Ed has said he was told that Charles S. Robinson, who served as the first librarian in the Spreckels building, wanted to offer an alternative to the then very exclusive Hotel Del Coronado, and thus the lodge was born.

The first public record of the lodge is in Coronado’s building department files, which show a building permit application in August of 1915, to add a garage to the property.

Robinson owned it until May, 1925 when a permit was pulled to add a bathroom and further construction of illegible type in 1929.

A VACATION IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

A check of county property records shows that in 1958 the property changed hands from Olive L. Robinson to Harold Humphry. In 1964, Humphry applied for a building permit to add four outlets. It was from Humphry’s estate that Melvin bought the property in 1976.

for our guests to eat, relax and enjoy the amazing weather.

Melvin didn’t buy the property intending to become an innkeeper. He was a widower with four children, who were too young to live on their own while he pursued his Naval career.

Ed’s mother moved into the home to care for his children while he was away.

Don’t let the vintage look and charm fool you. Cherokee Lodge is an internationallyknown hotel, welcoming hundereds of international visitors each year.

Around 1992, the Melvin’s hired a contractor to reconstruct the lodge room by room.

Today, the Cherokee Lodge consists of 14 rooms, 12 of which have en-suite bathrooms, while the other 2 rooms have private bathrooms located adjacent to the rooms.

Our inviting outdoor patios provide a place

Ed’s wife, Mary has played an integral role in creating a space that people relish, with the cozy simplicity of the décor and warm nature of the staff.

Many of our guests comment that they love the true “American home” experience they get while staying here.

Our locals appreciate the feel of the lodge just as much, reminding them of Coronado’s historical past.

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, providing the comforts of home and the personal relationships we create with our guests.

HOMELIFE

So Far Away

by Krysta Murray I have discussed the perks of being a military family, from traveling to new places, meeting lifelong friends and discovering untapped strength to conquer all kinds of situations. But all of those perks come with a lot of sacrifice and emotions that can be hard to describe, and is not often talked about.

I recently went to visit home, the place where I grew up and where most of my family still resides. It had been 18 months since I had last visited.

Originally we had been stationed for five years in a location where it had been a nine-hour drive to get home and it was a lot easier to make those trips. When we were stationed 45 minutes away, we were shocked at our luck, fortunate enough to have three years to be so close to home. Next we were sent overseas for three and a half years and there was an ocean between us. Today there is nearly the entire continental United States from here to home. This distance can take a toll on relationships no matter how many visits you try to plan.

It isn’t just about the miles apart, but the connections that can be hard to keep. Between time differences and life’s day to day happenings, even a simple phone call can be hard to arrange, let alone a video chat. You miss all the little things, and sometimes even the big things. I’ve missed weddings, funerals and births, along with birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, surgeries, bridal and baby showers and bachelorette parties.

These are the life events of family members and long time friends I’ve known since high school. Although you can keep them in your thoughts, send messages of encouragement and support, check in when you can, not physically being there to offer a hand, a ride or even a hug can alter your closeness despite an understanding of why you can’t be there. This is one of the less acknowledged aspects of military life, the toll it can take us and those we you care about and love.

It can be expensive to travel back and forth as often as we’d like. We have to save time off and money for the major events

Page 39

HOMELIFE

we can plan ahead for. And even then we are pretty picky about what those events are. Sometimes there are those unexpected instances that require an unplanned trip home. Last minute trips are usually the most pricey and the hardest to arrange.

We have to be prepared for it all.

As family members who support a loved one in the service, we often go with them to these unknown duty stations so that we can be there with them as often as possible. But this also means we are there without them in those unfamiliar places when they deploy or attend training. That is part of the gig and it is not an easy part. We try to establish a regular routine, a life in that place, whether it be a job, volunteering, kids in school, sports, etc. It can be hard to then take time away from those commitments just to up and go when something happens somewhere else, somewhere like home.

On this last trip home, one of my younger siblings had graduated college and another had just had a baby. Luckily Page 40

Coronado Magazine

I had made it back for the one sibling’s wedding, and was now grateful to meet my niece. Prior, I had an opportunity to either help my mom with the baby shower and attend it, or visit after the baby was born. I had to choose one. So I chose to meet my niece and it was nice when my family also scheduled the graduation party around our visit so we could be there for that too.

During this visit, I met up with some friends from high school. One was recently married and expecting her first baby and another is going through a divorce. As I was catching up with each one, I realized that most of the catching up was for me, because they had seen each other often and were planning to do it again the next week. It is tough to accept that I can’t be available for weekly get-togethers and that they don’t expect it of me, either. All I can do is make a better effort to stay in touch more.

HOMELIFE

Being away from loved ones is a sacrifice we make to serve and/or support those who serve.

In our current situation, however, I do these types of things for people I haven’t known nearly as long. I have been to birthdays, showers, ceremonies and celebrations of all sorts for a neighbor, a co-worker, or someone I met just a few months ago. These have created new bonds with people that do ultimately become lifelong friends long after we go our separate ways and I am so appreciative of that. It doesn’t always make up for the people and the events that I am missing, but it is nice to be able to be there for others, many of whom are missing their own “homes” themselves.

good and bad, and many cannot wholly grasp or understand without having been there themselves. But that they recognize what we do for a military member to serve our country is a nice gesture. We should not feel awkward to say a thank you for the acknowledgement.

Fortunately, my family has been supportive and is always up for a visit to wherever we are. While overseas, it was a reason for them to get passports for the first time and explore new countries. So our being away has provided our families to have new and fun experiences.

While there are many things to appreciate as a military spouse, not all of it is intriguing. I can definitely see appeal to retirement one day. In the meantime, I can only go along for the ride and focus on the positives. I wouldn’t change any of it. I don’t think I’d be nearly as grateful for that time I do have with them, or appreciate those moments as much as I do. We certainly wouldn’t be able to share our experiences with them either.

I usually feel awkward when anyone thanks me for being a military family and for supporting a military member as the non-service member. But sometimes I have to take the time to reflect on what it means. The families, in a way, serve too.

All that moving around comes with its own set of challenges,

Being away from loved ones is a sacrifice we make to serve and/or support those who serve. It can downright hurt to miss out, to lose connections, to grow apart or to be absent at times you feel you shouldn’t be.

That doesn’t mean I won’t be humming Carole King the rest of the day, though. “Because you’re so far away...”

About Last Month’s Cover For our August issue, we focused on the 50th anniversary of many things, mainly in Coronado. For the cover, we were in search of a photo of our iconic bridge, but wanted a unique shot.

There are many beautiful photos of the bridge, but most from a perspective of over or from the sides of the bridge.

Leave it to award-winning fine art landscape photographer Jeremy Noyes to capture the image we were looking for. The colors and the underside of the bridge were a perfect foil to the stories we had inside the magazine about the bridge, Coronado before and after.

As often as we see images of the Coronado-San Diego Bay Bridge, its opening changed not just Coronado forever, but San Diego, as well. Love it, hate it, indifferent to it, it is an important part of our history and worthy of a celebration. Thank you, Jeremy, for a truly stunning cover.

Way of Life

Ent ryways Can Ease th e Morni ng R ush

by Lura Allen, Staff Designer, J Hill Interiors

It’s that time of year again when we find ourselves clambering each morning, silently (or audibly) praying that everyone has everything they need as we hustle our family members out the door.

Wallet, keys, cell phone, homework, lunch bags, shoes, snacks, water bottles, afternoon activity gear, coffee, laptops, briefcases, dog leashes, etc.

The list of things to remember each morning seems to go on and on and on. And since our mornings often set the tone for our entire day, it is worth looking at how our home design can help facilitate a smooth(ish) start each morning.

Yes, your entry is the first impression your guests will have when they enter your home. Yes, it should be beautiful and inviting. However, a pretty entry without any practical functionality quickly loses its luster.

There are ways to add organization to even the smallest space. Having a go to spot where important things “live” like your keys, mail, wallet, dog leashes, kids book bags, etc. will help busy mornings seem a little more manageable. Storage bins or table top trays come in about a million styles, sizes and price points these days. Whether your aesthetic is super minimal or you are a

hardcore traditionalist, the right storage option for you and your space is out there – we encourage you to go find it!

Another tip would be to incorporate pieces that do double duty i.e. a bench with storage for shoes or sports equipment underneath; or an entry table with a drawer that can serve as a catch all for the must have important items; or a coat rack that also hangs Fido’s accessories. These pieces that serve more than one function are especially important solutions for smaller spaces. There are so many clever ways to maximize the space, you have to get creative in finding ways to make your space work for you.

Lastly, when form fails over function, your space will fall short. But when form and function fail, your space will fail you entirely. Your entryway is usually the last part of your home you see as you head out the door and the first space you see upon returning home after a long day. How do you want to feel when you see this space? How would you like this space to send you off and greet you?

It has been clinically proven that clutter is a major stressor for us and truly makes our home less joyful. (Thank you Marie Kondo for shining a light on this!)

Coronado Magazine

Page 49

Storage solutions are wonderful ways to keep the area tidy and less overwhelming for us. But don’t forget about incorporating a little something that makes you smile! Whether it be an entry way light fixture you just love, or a beautiful mirror or piece of dÊcor, or something sentimental like a framed photo or piece of art. Let the things in your home function well and bring you joy and there will be bright moments in even the craziest mornings.

2019 Midyear Outlook: Presented by Jane Braun, CFP®

At the end of last year, the big question was, “Will 2019 bring the end of the recovery?”

TEMECULA

A Day Trip to Old Town Temecula

by Luan Troxel Temecula is located just about 60 miles from Coronado.

For most of us, most of the time, that sounds like about an hour drive – maybe a bit more.

Temecula makes a perfect day trip.

With its many historical buildings, a trip to Temecula can send you back in time to the Old West. The name originally comes from the Luiseno word, Temecunga, which means “place of the sun.” Later, Spaniards changed the name of the area to Temecula, which means “where the sun shines through the mist.”

If you get a little tired, take a break for a coffee. You can sit inside or out and people watch at either the Press Espresso or Le Coffee Shop, just off the main street.

When you’re ready for lunch, there are many, many restaurants to choose from. Or if you make it a full day trip, you can maybe grab an early dinner or happy hour at the restaurant 1909 Temecula. There I tried the watermelon and beet salad, ahi tartar and beet and bean burger. Guess which was best? I bet it’s not what you think. It was the fabulously yummy beet and bean burger on perfectly grilled bread and with super fresh veggies.
