In his 29th year as a cartoonist, Steve Breen – formerly of The San Diego Union-Tribune – has found a new home.

Op-Ed: A Marine’s wide-eyed look at the world of war and Coronado in remembrance of Veterans Day
On this Veterans Day (Nov. 11), I am remembering my father, Edward P.J. Corbett, (1919-1998) who enlisted in the Marine Corps on his 24th birthday in 1943.
Op-Ed: Stopping the Coronado Bridge suicide machine
In April 2018, A Simple Solution to Preventing Suicides on the Coronado Bridge was published in the Times of San Diego. This proposed solution drew significant attention, but was not enacted. Five years later, the Coronado Bridge Suicide Machine continues unabated. As do the interminable bridge shutdowns causing massive traffic problems on both sides of the bridge […]
Op-Ed: A critical moment for Cays Park, Cays residents
The purpose of this letter is to invite and encourage Cays residents to take the 2023 Cays Park Options Survey at cayspark.weebly.com. As you probably know, four conceptual options for the park have recently been presented by the Schmidt Design Group. The position of the Coronado Futbol Club is simple and easy to understand: they […]
Op-Ed: In defense of Coronado and why Awaken Church shouldn’t be here
Mike Yeager’s justification of the Awaken Church ignores the central issue. It is not an ordinary, normal Christian church. Awaken’s Jesus is a sword carrying, political creature intent on creating a theocracy and imposing his political will and military power on those who oppose him. This is a perfect description of Yeager’s hero and superior, […]
Op-Ed: Dear StopTheSewage.org, we actually agree on the problem
The response to my Op-Ed questioning “Where are the Democrats in the ongoing Tijuana River sewage crisis?” neglected to point out that in the body of the piece, I named those Democrats who have been in various positions of city, state and federal government leadership for at least 10 years. Perhaps it would have been […]
Lisa Benson: Where’s Gov. Newsom on Tijuana sewage crisis?
Coronado News and syndicated editorial cartoonist Lisa Benson is the latest to opine how California Gov. Gavin Newsom seems to not care about the massive international sewage crisis affecting Imperial Beach and Coronado.
Op-Ed: This is what a truly united community looks like
We found Carolyn Rogerson’s Op-Ed “Where are the Democrats in the Sewage Crisis?” to be divisive and uninformed. Our community is 100% united and in common cause to find the answers to this increasing threat to the community – the poisonous sewage closing our beaches and sickening our population. In recent years, this alarming influx […]
Letter to the Editor: Don’t make sewage crisis a partisan issue
It’s too bad sewage on our beaches, an issue that is as nonpartisan as it gets, is being painted with partisan brush. (See the September 15 op-ed “Where are the Democrats in the ongoing Tijuana River sewage crisis?) To blame the Democrats and divide our community around this public health crisis is counterproductive. Instead, we […]
Op-Ed: Has the war in Ukraine changed everything?
We have now passed the 18-month point of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While it will take years to unpack all of the lessons learned from this conflict, some things have already become clear. Topping that list is the use of uncrewed systems in this conflict. The media has been all but saturated with stories regarding […]
Op-Ed: A governor for (all) the people?
While the governor often attempts to portray himself as “a man of the people,” he does so at the expense of the 27,000-plus residents in the state’s most southwesterly city,
Op-Ed: Where are the Democrats in the ongoing Tijuana River sewage crisis?
On Sept. 1, a rally was held at Coronado’s Central Beach to call attention to the ocean water contamination due to continued sewage spills from Tijuana. Imperial Beach has been dramatically impacted by this sewage crisis for decades and Coronado has suffered ocean water contamination at an increased rate these past several years. Where were […]
Op-Ed: In defense of Awaken Church and why it wants to come to Coronado
I want to start off by thanking The Coronado News and Dennis Wagner for taking the time to actually come and visit an Awaken service so that he could convey what others can expect from a Coronado Awaken campus.
Op-Ed: Thank you to Councilman Duncan for helping seniors and those with disabilities
The executive director of Facilitating Access to Coordinated Transportation (FACT) Inc. gives a shout out to Coronado Councilman John Duncan.
Op-Ed: On the edge of darkness and the power of the toupée
“Bonanza,” the first color TV show, first aired on Sept. 12, 1959, and it ran 14 seasons to Jan. 16, 1973. It was the second longest Western in broadcast history recounting the fictional story of the Cartwrights, a family of ranchers living on the bountiful Ponderosa Ranch in the mid- 1800s, near Virginia City, Nevada. The […]
Op-Ed: Shoes: On? Or off?
She raises her eyebrow and gives me the look. “What? What!”, I respond, exasperated. Wordlessly, she looks down at my shoes. Ahhh, yes. My shoes. My daughter isn’t registering her disapproval about my choice of footwear, she’s registering a comment about the fact that I even have shoes on, at all. Indoors. Inside. Namely, indoors, […]
