A commentary by J. F. Kelly, Jr.

While job creation and job stabilization is what Americans need and want most now, what they are likely to get next is an attempt at a massive overhaul of immigration policy. It will probably turn out as badly as the last attempt.
Perhaps Mr. Obama and the Democratic-controlled…

CORONADO — At low tide, in the sands beneath the towering Coronado Shores condominiums, lie signs of buried pleasure.
Recent storms have temporarily washed away layers of beach that usually entomb the remains of an old gambling ship called the S.S. Monte Carlo, which ran aground 73 years ago. Portions of the 300-foot vessel now lie exposed to sun, surf and sightseers. A Coronado city crew examined the wreck yesterday, removing…

Thanks to all who took part in the Yoga on the Beach today (Sat. 1/30). The energy from the waves, the warmth of the sun, the softness of the sand and the smell of the air was more than we could have imagined. Also the energy that each of you brought was so uplifting to me. We truly had a place to pause and to feel our yoga today. Watch for detail of the next upcoming Beach Yoga. Have a Namaste…

CORONADO: Coronado officials are warning swimmers and surfers to stay clear of the wreckage of the S.S. Monte Carlo, an old gambling ship that ran aground near the Coronado Shores 74 years ago.
Recent heavy storms and high tides have exposed the wreck, as they have from time to time over the years. The ship was especially visible yesterday near the Shores’ El Camino tower off Silver Strand Boulevard.
City crews worked yesterday to remove some of the exposed rebar from the…

The world looks very different from 40 feet up, hanging onto a rope wall. My advice? Don’t look down.
A lot phenomenally fit people, including world-famous athletes and Olympians, have frozen at the top of the wall, which is part of the legendary obstacle course on the Navy SEAL base in Coronado, Calif. Who knew that vertigo routinely kicks in at 40 feet without a safety…

It’s often the case where a truly inspiring human being is asked “who inspires you?” With our 35 under 35 community leaders, we asked the same question. The answers were an array of sorts. From a former basketball player to the county’s district attorney, to a 12-year-old who gave a noteworthy speech to the United Nations, to simply, everyday volunteers who allocate a certain amount of time each week for the greater good.…

My family and I went on a trip to Montalcino recently and took some time to stop by the famous Castello Banfi Estate for a tour and tasting. I am always surprised at how these unique opportunities stare me in the face here in Italy. I scheduled our appointment on the telephone. We arrived to a friendly greeting and a personal tour of the facility followed by a private tasting in their beautiful Enoteca. I realize we were visiting during the "low…

The North Island Naval Air Station (NASNI) military base is off-limits to and, sadly, remains a mystery for a great many civilian residents of Coronado. Given the countless historic military, industrial and architectural relics present there, cruising around North Island can be like traveling back through time.
One of the most picturesque areas of North Island is a collection of Spanish colonial revival-style structures, whose focal point is a stately building…
