I would like to respond with thoughtful comments to the claims made by Brian McNeece and Richard Gersberg concerning my Sept. 9 article in The Coronado News. ‘The Primer on Ocean Sewage,” that I authored in a letter to the editor is still the most accurate depiction of our near-shore ocean currents and how contaminated […]

Letter to the Editor: I don’t recognize my country anymore
Donald Trump won the presidential election. He won the popular vote. Despite his obvious senility, incoherence, malignant narcissism, racism, cruelty and pathological dishonesty, the American people made their voices heard at the ballot box and said, “THAT’S OUR GUY!” I don’t know where to start with this. I don’t recognize this country. I can’t fathom […]

Letter to the Editor: Incorrect information in school board campaign story
This past week an article was published in your paper that said my two biggest campaign contributors are non-profit leaders. This is factually incorrect. My largest campaign contributor is in fact a nonprofit leader who is also friend of twenty years. The next two highest contributions came from other old family friends as well, but […]

Letter to the Editor: Unfair coverage in tennis fee increase story
Dear Coronado News, I was recently made aware of your latest article regarding the tennis fee adjustments, which was shared widely within the local tennis community. Upon reviewing the piece, it seems the coverage presented a one-sided narrative, portraying the changes in a sensationalized manner and casting our management of Coronado’s tennis facilities unfairly. I […]

Letter to the Editor: Deploring antisemitic fliers
Coronado is an idyllic place to live that often seems removed from the problems besetting the rest of our nation. A few weeks ago, our tranquility was burst by the presence of a hate group distributing antisemitic fliers near the Middle School. For many of our neighbors, finding these flyers sparked fear and outrage. The sense […]

Letter to the Editor: A statement from CUSD Trustee Whitney Antrim
As a leader in our school district and our community, I publicly denounce antisemitism, its proponents, and I am disgusted by the recent act of hate through flyers placed on cars in Coronado by a Neo-Nazi hate group. Today, and every day, I stand against the pernicious and violent attacks against Jews in this country. […]

Letter to the Editor: A statement from Alexia Palacios-Peters
As a leader in our community, I publicly denounce antisemitism, its proponents, and are disgusted by the recent act of hate through flyers placed on cars in Coronado by a Neo-Nazi hate group. Today, and every day, I stand against the pernicious and violent attacks against Jews in this country. I am horrified by the vitriolic […]

Letter to the Editor: Why is the TJ sewage issue taking so long to solve?
Last week, Councilmember John Duncan and I, representing the city-appointed Cross-Border Sewage Subcommittee, traveled to Washington, D.C. to advocate for and to help secure additional funding to address the sewage flowing from Mexico. This year marks the eighth year the City of Coronado has engaged on this issue and one of the most common questions […]

Letter to the Editor: An open letter to county supervisors about sewage
With respect, San Diego County Supervisors: You intend to quantify the contamination in the Tijuana River Valley? Instead, please stop the sewage in the valley from happening again, clean it up and stop sewage dumping in the ocean. The pollution you plan to measure in the river valley would be long gone if the county […]

Letter to the editor: Witch Hunting
Attorney Mike Giorgino, brave defender of democracy, claims the documentary “God and Country” is a propaganda film intended to serve as “red meat for blue voters.” This is an incredibly shallow and misleading view of what this film represents and what threat Christian nationalism presents for our democracy. Christian nationalism is not a religion; it is a radical political movement cloaked in religious terminology […]

Letter to the Editor: The Democrats’ witch hunt has arrived in Coronado
On Sunday May 20, the Coronado Performing Arts Center screened a propaganda film, “God and Country,” produced by Rob Reiner. It was like watching a long string of 30-second anti-Trump commercials with a common theme: The rise of Trump is the result of “Christian nationalism,” which threatens fascism, theocracy, and the end of democracy in […]
