March 24, 2013 from 6pm to 8pm

Set in 96 A.D., the last living disciple of Jesus is an 86-year-old man spending his remaining days imprisoned in a cave on Patmos. The Apostle John, "The disciple whom Jesus loved," reflects upon his special relationship with our Lord while looking forward with energy and vision toward a future for humankind as part the Church beginning its amazing period of growth in the 1st century Roman Empire.While the content of St. John in Exile is appropriate for all, the film is intellectually…See More

Carol Adams commented on Karen Bland's blog post 'Sirens Sirens every where and not a car in site'

"Use of sirens—no matter the time of day or night—enables emergency vehicles to bring care to those who are ill or injured as quickly as possible. It prevents innocent bystanders and emergency personnel from being hurt in collisions…"

Michael Szyhowski commented on Karen Bland's blog post 'Sirens Sirens every where and not a car in site'

"Wrong. The purpose of the siren is much more than to alert traffic on the road to get out of the way. It alerts pedestrians who will often hear the warning before ever seeing the lights. It is also a comfort to victims knowing help…"

Erin Grady Brown commented on Karen Bland's blog post 'Sirens Sirens every where and not a car in site'

"There is no way to predict exactly what traffic is on the road at any given time. If there is one car that could be about to come to an intersection that an emergency vehicle is about to blast through, the sirens are life-saving and critical. Lights…"

"It doesn't seem to me that the time of day matters if it's protocol. It's unfortunate that you are awakened by the sound of the sirens, but just because there isn't USUALLY traffic at 2AM on your street or Orange Avenue…"

Mayor Casey Tanaka commented on Karen Bland's blog post 'Sirens Sirens every where and not a car in site'

"Mr. Megna, who I believe is a former law enforcement officer, pointed out that the sirens are likely not optional in the instances where you are hearing them at 2AM. While this may be unpleasant (I live on Second Street, near the hospital and I hear…"

Karen Bland commented on Karen Bland's blog post 'Sirens Sirens every where and not a car in site'

"I guess my point was missed...Lights, absolutely. Sirens at 2am? Not necessary. After all the purpose of sirens is to alert traffic on the road that an emergency vehicle is approaching and to get out of the way. How much traffic is on Orange or any…"

"Casey's right, the California Vehicle Code is crystal clear about the use of lights and sirens when responding to an emergency call. Failing to use them in such instances, exposes the agency and, (in this case) the city, to potentially HUGE…"

Sirens Sirens every where and not a car in site

I was jarred out of my sleep again before 6am this morning. Was it my toddler waking? The dog barking? Nope. It was the sirens of a police car, or maybe a fire truck. Is there that much traffic before the sun rises in Coronado that the emergency services need to blast their sirens? Or are they just making sure the taxpaying residents know that they are getting their monies worth?This is not the first time I thought of voicing my opinion on the matter. Those sirens can be heard at all hours of…See More
