Newsflash: Tomorrow is the last day of 2009. That means we’re moving into the first new decade of the 2000s. And we have a decision to make.
Say “2009″ outloud. Chances are you’re saying “two thousand and nine.” But if you think about it, that’s weird. Say “1909″ outloud. Chances are you’re saying “nineteen-oh-nine.” It makes some sense, since we weren’t going to pronounce “2000″ as “twenty hundred,” but for whatever reason, going… Continue

Experts at the CDC tell us flu is likely to continue for months caused by either 2009 H1N1 viruses or regular seasonal flu viruses. The vast majority of flu this year so far have been caused by H1N1 (swine) flu virus. Although the incidence has been declining, H1N1 infection was associated with another 9 pediatric deaths in the week ending 12/19. (http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/update.htm)
Vaccine supplies are now considered adequate… Continue
Millions of people have a fear of flying. Although it is, statistically, the safest method of travel mile for mile, the spectacular and catastrophic nature of major plane crashes causes many air travelers to tremble at every bump, vibration and unusual noise. Add to this general sense of disquiet, the tribulations of modern air travel including crowded flights, long lines, Spartan service, truly awful in-flight food, sparse legroom, cramped… Continue
CORONADO, Calif. -- A public vigil will be held in Coronado Wednesday in memory of a woman who was strangled, allegedly by her boyfriend, soon after he was bailed out of jail in connection with a previous incident of domestic violence against her.
Christina Jones, 31, was killed in her Golden Hill apartment Dec. 17 in front of her 4- and 17-month-old children. The children's father, Melvin Carter, 29, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.
The Coronado cop who subdued a traffic violator with a taser may be sued for damages by the boxer-clad, angry young man, a state appellate court has ruled.
The ruling by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals published Monday involved officer Brian McPherson who had pulled over motorist Carl Bryan for a seat belt infraction in the summer of 2005.
Bryan, 21, is suing in federal court, alleging the use of… Continue

For Coronado head coach Alex Cade, measuring the value of standout senior Kodie Englehart cannot be done by perusing a stat sheet or leader board.
“There’s a lot of guys out there who are good players and put up lots of points,” Cade said. “Everyone outside of the game sees the point totals, but there are also points that no one wants to get.
“If we need a goal, and it’s the last five seconds of the game, in a critical situation,… Continue

Our nation’s political leaders in Washington are putting in long hours in the waning days of 2009, mostly either trying to get a healthcare bill passed or trying to stop it. Members of Congress don’t even have time to read the entire 2078-page bill, let alone understand all that it will do or undo. They probably haven’t had time to think about New Year’s resolutions, either, so once again this year I thought I’d do it for them.
The locally owned and operated Coronado Fitness Club at 875 Orange Avenue will be hosting the New Year/New You Celebration and Open House on Saturday, January 2 from 8am to 11am.
The Open House and Celebration will include a FREE day at the gym with free fitness classes and gym use, free refreshments, Free Optimum Nutrition and Function product samples, free chair massages, t-shirts, water bottles, and free body fat testing. Join us Jan 2nd 8am to 11am for fun,… Continue
If CityBeat could add to its 2009 Best of San Diego issue, bus route 901 would be named the most beautiful Sunday ride in the county. That isn’t just because of the gorgeous views of both the bay and the Pacific, but because the Sunday bus may not be there in 2010.
From its northern end, the 901 winds through Downtown San Diego and past Petco Park, loops across the Coronado Bridge, swings past the North Island Naval Complex, then makes a stop at Coronado City Hall.
Click here to locate all the churches on the island. Contact a church directly to get more information about their Christmas Eve services and schedule. See them all here.

There is no such thing as a dull decade. The arc of history is long—to maul a line by Dr. Martin Luther King—and it bends toward stuff happening. Even the 1970s, generally regarded as the ugly stepdecade of the 20th century, played host to a White House scandal that sprawled on for months, metastasizing into the only presidential resignation in American history. Beat that, 1980s. (OK, no sweat: the fall of the Berlin Wall, the implosion of the Soviet Union …) Still,… Continue

What a conversation I had about Christmas; Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas, teaching your kids about the real world or holding on to that excitement of belief.
What do you do when your child comes to you and says "I know Santa isn't real, he's not a real person"? Slowly watch the excitement fade from their eyes? Realize that you child is no longer so innocent? Heck no.
It's now time to teach them about being Santa and what Christmas is about. Christmas is meant to… Continue
