77 Years of Service & Friendship

Wow, where does the time go? The Coronado Woman’s Club (CWC) will be turning 77 years old in March. Established in 1947, the CWC is honored to be considered one of the oldest service clubs in Coronado and we continue to grow and spark interest in all ages of women. Membership spans an age group from 40-100 years old. It’s a great combination of wisdom and enthusiastic spirit. Since August of 2023, CWC has had over 10 women join us. CWC has outgrown our last meeting space and now, with the generosity of Blue Bridge Hospitality, is meeting at Stake Chophouse for our delicious monthly luncheons.

The CWC has been actively raising money for our Philanthropy fund this year, and we are at a total of $15,000 raised through many fundraising events. The CWC holds four shredding events a year, both at the US Bank and the Coronado Cays with the help from Blue Bridge Hospitality, who sponsors our shredding truck. CWC spent the summer learning new skills and making crafts for Artisan’s Alley; CWC had a very successful garage sale (look for our next one in March); a Progressive Halloween Dinner was enjoyed by all while raising money for our fund! At the end of February, our Philanthropy committee will make the final decision on where our money will go. In the past, we have given two scholarships to graduating CHS seniors, supported the 4th of July committee, PAWS of Coronado, Rachel’s Women’s Center, League of Wives, Floral Association, Friends of the Library, CoSA, Concerts in the Park and many other well deserving organizations.

The CWC leadership board has outlined many social events for members and their guests to participate in. Each month, a “Meet and Eat” gathering has been scheduled, which

gives those who are still in the workforce an opportunity to participate and for new potential members to get to know us. The CWC is in the drafting stages of having a miniature golf tournament, picnic in Balboa Park, ferry ride to Seaport Village for lunch, cooking lessons and a trip to the Lavender Farm. The CWC is also continuing to plan our March Garage Sale and the next Shredding Event on April 6 at US Bank. CWC is also scheduling times to continue their craft skills for the next Artisan’s Alley in December.

The CWC is looking forward to hosting a “Friends & Flowers” workshop on February 26 in the Winn Room, sharing the knowledge of how to design a terrarium and enter it in the upcoming Flower Show, which will take place April 20-21. The CWC also works in the “Container Grown Plant” section of the Flower Show’s Horticulture Division. Come see the CWC in action!

As part of our Mission Statement, "To develop friendships and a sense of community among its members through social, cultural, civic and philanthropic activities,” the CWC activities are an important part of our community. The CWC wants to carry on the traditions and rich legacy of serving Coronado for many more years to come.

Reaches New Heights Coronado Castle

Clements Group closes record-breaking sale of historic Requa Estate

By Sydney Zoehrer

Ifyou have ridden your bike or taken a golf cart toward Ocean Boulevard to catch one of Coronado’s unmatched sunsets, chances are you’ve passed by the historic Requa home on your way. The Requa Estate, affectionately dubbed the “Coronado Castle” in recent decades, stands less than 100 feet from the beach at 1127 F Avenue with its unmistakable turret and Spanish-style roof. Built in 1925 by famed architect Richard Requa, the 14,142 square foot property underwent four years of major renovations before it was put on the market in 2022. In a landmark sale for both the Clements Group and the city of Coronado, the historic home has just sold to new owners for $28 million — a testament to the exceptional property and the team that has been involved. With undeniable historic value, the estate is a nod to the architectural prowess that lent itself to a timeless, elaborate creation.

The Coronado Castle had stardom written into it from the beginning. Architect Richard Requa, having arrived in San Diego in 1900, quickly took up work as superintendent for Irving Gill before breaking out on his own to create an independent firm with partner Herbert L. Jackson in 1920. Shortly thereafter, in 1925, the two joined forces with landscape architect Milton P. Sessions — nephew to renowned horticulturalist Kate Sessions, the “Mother of Balboa Park” — to create the Requa Estate. Designed for William A. Gunn, a furniture manufacturer from Michigan, the two-year construction project incurred a cost more than 10 times the average expense for a contemporary Coronado home, totaling $56,558. The lot size, too, was unprecedented. Spanning nearly a whole block, the 25,265 square foot, three-parcel lot extends four times larger than Coronado’s average lot size and twice the size of some of the largest lots on the island. Throughout his prolific career, Requa would design a total of eight Coronado homes — none quite so distinguished as the magnum opus that was his Coronado Castle — as well as notable structures including the County Administration Building and what is now the San Diego Air & Space Museum, created for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition at Balboa Park.

Beyond sheer scale, it’s the attention to detail that sets the Requa Estate apart from the rest. Requa seems to have achieved the impossible — global sourcing with a regional feel, and a brick house of palatial scale that exudes a timelessness owing

to quality craftsmanship each step of the way. Taking inspiration from his adventures in Mexico, Central and South America and the Mediterranean, his architecture came to encapsulate what he called the Southern California Style; the tiling and detailing reflect this global perspective in his work. The property is also a textbook example of Mission Revival architecture, encouraging the popularity of this style throughout San Diego; the property’s influence resulted in its historic designation in 1982, and again in 2004 as a Historic Resource by the city of Coronado’s commission as exemplary of the Mission Revival style. In addition to its recognition as a historic gem by the city, the Requa Estate also became an approved property under the Mills Act in 2016, anticipating major renovations of the property from 2017-2020. (The Mills Act incentivizes private property owners to maintain and restore historic structures with tax abatements.)

Extending the limits of what was possible with building technology of the 1920s, Requa’s design set a precedent for opulent architecture in town. Despite its notable presence on the block, the castle-like home is set back from the sidewalk with massing that maintains the residential atmosphere of the neighborhood, with the bulk of additional attractions hidden from the street view. The lavish dining room opens to a pool deck, with a spacious backyard featuring a covered loggia and dining area, a pool with a symmetrical view of the tower and a detached guest house and pool house totaling 925 square feet. Paired with landscaping that incorporates a putting green, dog run, olive

trees and fountains, the property boasts a remarkably luxurious outdoor space.

In 2017, new owners bought and merged two adjacent properties resulting in the footprint of the estate today. To do a home such as the Requa Estate justice, it really

"It has been a tremendous pleasure to work with Jan and Chris over the years, as they have treated us like extended family members with their continuous support and guidance. Their knowledge, and professionalism goes above and beyond anything I have ever experienced in working with a Realtor, which is why I have fully trusted them and their expertise. Knowing that it was going to take a unique and special buyer for the beautifully renovated historic Requa home, they worked diligently with the architect, contractors, and design team to understand the full scope of the remodel and project that took over 4 years to complete. By doing so, they truly understood all of the details that went into the home to make it what it is today. There are so many different examples of them going above and beyond their scope of efforts that I would be writing a book and not a review. We highly recommend them." Mariotti

takes a village. So, when they decided it was time to remodel, the then-owners entrusted Kim Grant, a San Diego-based architect specializing in historic homes, Jim Papenhausen of Papenhausen Construction Inc. and Paul Schatz of Interior Design Imports with what would become an extensive fouryear undertaking. The goals of the team were two-fold: to preserve the estate’s old Hollywood feel while modernizing the home to match the caliber of available technology.

In a documentary by the Clements Group on the renovation, Grant commented on the importance of intentionality behind restoring a historically significant property with integrity to the architect’s original design.

“The design goal on this house was to not create something new and different, but to pick up where Richard Requa left off,” Grant said. “The integrity of the original home was timeless and our goal was to continue that idea that in another 100 years this house will look timeless and current, yet historic. The new and the old should feel like it’s coming from the same hand, or at least the same mindset.”

Papenhausen and Schatz underscored this commitment, referencing the meticulous sourcing of period-accurate accents that the property merits as the architectural culmination of a truly glamorous era. From painted trompe l’oeil embellishments on the vaulted ceilings, to the Moorish tiles true to the original influences of the home, to reclaimed English roof tiles that line the basement ceiling, and even down to importing French and Portuguese stone elements for outdoor components of the remodel, no detail was spared.

The renovation also involved an engineering feat of stabilizing the masonry structure of the expansive main house, while pumping six million gallons of water out from underneath the backyard to create a 7,000 square foot basement boasting a grand staircase, wine room, full spa, golf simulator, 26-seat movie theater and an impressive gym, to name a few of the many amenities. Above, the 4 bedroom, 4 bath, 3 half bath property was outfitted with state-of-the-art kitchen appliances and lighting that enhanced the livability of the space

alongside its undeniable vintage splendor, restored to former glory.

Following the remodel, the estate was listed for $39 million by the Clements Group, a mainstay in the Coronado and broader San Diego real estate industry. The Clements Group, started in 1990 by Jan Clements, has been operating with a slogan of “Client Focused. Results Driven.” ever since. As Coronado locals of more than 20 years with more than three decades of real estate expertise, getting Jan’s husband Lennie and son Chris Clements on board early on has turned the thriving real estate business into a family affair. The success of the Clements Group can be attributed to a combination of their client-first, conciergelevel approach, passion for the job, and stellar partnerships they’ve formed within the industry that round out the experience for their clients, from “house hunting to escrow to closing and beyond.”

“We are a family team and that’s how we treat every one of our clients,” Jan said. “We sincerely enjoy what we do. Over the years we have formed so many great connections both with clients, fellow agents and professionals that we now have a very ‘well-oiled machine’ and we keep searching to improve.”

Beyond their prominence in Coronado real estate, the Clements Group also directs its efforts toward supporting a number of causes in the community. Especially having had two children go through Coronado schools, the Clements Group makes an effort to back a number of local organizations, including the Coronado Schools Foundation, Sharp Coronado Hospital and the C4 Foundation, among others.

“We feel lucky to live here and we are happy to give back,” Jan said. “Chris is a board member of the C4 Foundation, a foundation dedicated to the memory of his good friend, Charlie Keating, that provides the Navy Seals and their families with support and a unique neuroscience-based program for managing the stressors that our most elite warriors and their families have to experience because of what they do for our country.”

When it came to the sale of the Requa Estate, the Clements Group was the obvious choice to represent the clients, having worked with them on several properties in the past. As active community partners, the Clements Group was also thrilled to be a part

of the action with one of the island’s most historically celebrated properties. Ultimately, their patience and teamwork paid off, Jan said — garnering the highest sale Coronado has seen to date, at $28,000,000.

“[The Requa Estate] is beautiful beyond words and we were lucky and very proud to have helped our clients sell it when they were ready,” Chris said. “We are thrilled for them and also so grateful for their trust in us over the years to take care of their real estate needs. They have proudly turned ‘the Crown Jewel’ over to the new owners who we are sure will enjoy this masterpiece and build its next chapter as the Crown Jewel of Coronado.”

Nearly falling on the 100-year anniversary of Richard Requa breaking ground on the iconic Coronado Castle, the Clements Group have culminated a series of incredible collaborations — from the original architects, to the renovation team, to the recent owners — all of whom have been committed to the authenticity of this exquisite, historic home over the past century. The record-breaking sale serves as a benchmark for the caliber of work the Clements Group does, and the community they are proud to represent.

IN COLLABORATION WITH CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

CELEBRATING A DECADE OF DEDICATION

The 10th Annual GEM Award Ceremony will be held on April 3, 2024. Tickets and proceeds from the annual raise the paddle benefit CHA's historic preservation work in the community.

Inour special coastal town of Coronado, where history breathes life into our charming streets, the Coronado Historical Association (CHA) honors exemplary residents and businesses for their commitment to historic preservation through the Going the Extra Mile (GEM) Awards.

1122 Glorietta Boulevard, c. 1979

Since 2013, the CHA has annually bestowed the GEM award upon the owner of a local home or business that has gone above and beyond in preserving a Coronado cultural resource. As the community eagerly anticipates the 10th anniversary of this prestigious recognition, it's worth delving into the significance of this unique accolade and celebrating the dedication of those who have contributed to the preservation of Coronado's rich heritage.

The GEM Awards, initiated by the CHA a decade ago, stands apart from traditional designations for historical homes or landmarks. Unlike other recognitions, the GEM Awards extend beyond the acknowledgment of historical significance and delve into the heart of the community's spirit. One of the key aspects that sets the GEM Awards apart is its focus on recognizing those property owners who have gone above and beyond to restore or rejuvenate their homes or businesses.

601 First Street, c. 1979

The process begins with initial nominations before three finalists are recognized each year, showcasing the diversity of efforts put forth by the community. The final winner, carefully selected by a committee of community members, is then bestowed with the GEM Award at the annual awards ceremony.

Previous winners serve as inspiring examples of the impact the GEM Awards have had on the community. From meticulously restored Victorian cottages to revitalized historic businesses, each winner contributes to the living tapestry of Coronado's past.

This commitment to preservation is exemplified by the 2022 GEM Award winner, 1030 Glorietta Blvd, a Colonial Revival masterpiece designed by architect Paul Hathaway in 1939. The dedication to preserving these cultural resources in our community was also demonstrated by the nominees — 500 J Avenue and 710 Glorietta Blvd. Each showcase distinctive architectural styles that contribute to the rich tapestry of Coronado's history.

The 2021 nominees are equally noteworthy, with standout properties like 1111 G Avenue, a Bungalow designed by architect William Templeton Johnson in 1914, and the Craftsman Cottage at 547 A Avenue, the 1910 creation of builder E. Cameron, standing tall among the nominees. The winner that year, 547 A Avenue, reflects the essence of the GEM Awards,

celebrating the meticulous preservation of a Craftsman Cottage.

For those curious about past winners, CHA’s provides a glimpse into the accomplishments of previous years. Dating back to the first few years of the award, the 2015 GEM Award Winner, 1000 Adella Avenue “The Kneedler House," and the 2014 GEM Award Winner, 301 Alameda Boulevard

“The Glenn Curtiss House," each tell a unique story of dedication and passion for preserving Coronado's historical treasures.

While many cities up and down the West Coast engage in historic preservation, the GEM recognition stands as a unique tribute to Coronado's commitment to going the extra mile. This 10th anniversary is not just a celebration of the past winners, but a testament to the ongoing dedication of the community towards preserving the historical integrity that makes Coronado truly special. More information about the GEM Awards can be found at coronadohistory.org.

Sweet Treats for the Ages

Anne Lanman’s Cakes

Anne Lanman's Pound Cake

It’s your birthday — what do you want the most? Close your eyes and picture your favorite dessert. I can see, smell and taste Cinnamon Sugar Cake when I dream of sweets. This simple cake is one of my youth's most iconic food memories.

My oldest and dearest friend, Mary Farley, and her mother, Anne Lanman, introduced my brother and me to this cake nearly 50 years ago, and it has been our favorite dessert ever since. If I remember correctly, this was not a special occasion cake but one made with some regularity; it just lived on the counter. The possibility of a slice of our favorite cake made hanging out at Mary’s house all the more appealing.

Mama Anne is also known for her pound cake, and she would alternate baking these two treats depending on who requested them. Cinnamon sugar cake was king back then and it ruled the counter with an occasional pound cake for Papa George.

In the Lanman house, there are two cake camps. Myself, my brother Michael, Mama Anne and Mary’s siblings, Charlie and Annie, are square in the cinnamon sugar camp, while Mary, Papa George and most of the grandchildren fall into the pound cake camp. Due

to the generational trend away from sugar cake, now you will usually find a pound cake on Anne’s kitchen counter.

My mother Sybil had Anne’s recipe, dated 1976, for as long as I can remember. When birthdays came around, for special occasions, mom would bake “Anne’s Sugar Cake.” The shelf life of this cake was short in the Van Arsdall house due to my brother and I executing latenight operations to procure unsanctioned slices of this treasured dessert.

Our two families, the Lanmans and the Van Arsdalls were separated for years; the Navy had us living on opposite coasts until our parents retired and moved back to Coronado. Now that Mary Farley and her family live in town, life has come full circle. Not only do I live with one of my oldest and dearest friends, but I now get the real

McCoy when it comes to this cake. Mary makes a darn good version, but there is nothing like one of Mama Anne's cakes made with love in her copper-clad oven. When you look up Southern hospitality, there is a picture of Mama Anne in her kitchen holding said cake.

I recently traveled to the Lanmans' house with Mary to document Mama Anne making her sugar cake so she could share its story, and I could get some clues as to why her cake tastes the best above all other versions.

Anne’s Sugar Cake is a basic 1-2-3-4 cake, which gets its name from the essential ingredients: one cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, and four eggs. Once you know, it is easy to remember.

I found out from Anne that her mother was Pennsylvania Dutch, known for their baking; Shoffner was her maiden name. Mama Anne’s memories of this cake date back to Roanoke, Virginia, circa 1939, when she was a little girl and her mother used to make it for her family. While Anne doesn't have memories of baking this cake with her mother, Mary started cooking with Anne early on, and I can remember Mary making this cake for my brother and me regularly. When I receive a cake from Mary as an adult, it is like a secret handshake confirming our lifelong commitment to friendship.

Mama Anne still has her mother's metal shaker for the cinnamon sugar, making her process even more special, but that is not the secret factor. This cake is so much better when Anne makes it because she is there when you eat it. Life is always a little sweeter with a side-splitting serving of Anne Lanman.

The Lanmans are more than lifelong friends with generations of Navy ties; they are my family. Family is not only something you are born with. If you are lucky, sometimes family is something you get to choose.

Please try baking these special cakes for your loved ones, and don't wait for a special occasion; just bake one for the counter. Life is short, so eat dessert first. Cheers to friends and family!

The primary goal was to replace the awkward layout with a more inviting and functional design. One of our favorite touches was keeping the gorgeous beams and refinishing them to their original glory. The tile selections were a nod to the style of the home but also kept things light and bright. Can you believe these before and afters?

Your Guide To The Coronado Flower Show

By Ali Blake

The town is abuzz as the 102nd Annual Coronado Flower Show nears. Everyone is connected to the efforts in one way or another and the luckiest of them all have memories across their lifetimes tied to this incredible event that graces Spreckels Park each April. As a transplant to this fairytale community, I’ve found stories of yesteryears to be awe-inspiring. I remain committed to bringing celebrated traditions forward as I visualize my children holding a lifetime of show memories, too. I was a firsttime show entrant last year, so I’m bringing my newbie eye’s to show leadership as a Flower Show co-chair specifically leading the “laws of the show.” I must share with you

more about the show schedule published last month and just how easy it is to enter the show, as well as why it’s so important to participate.

This year’s schedule is available right now at coronadoflowershow.com.

All 32 glorious pages detail show divisions, sections and classes and spell out show rules and awards. Divisions are the overarching show categories that guide you through the show offerings, consisting of Horticulture, Design, Educational Exhibits, Youth and Botanical Arts. Let’s take a look at each.

DIVISION I: HORTICULTURE

Horticulture is home to all growing plants — whether they are potted, hanging or cut, we have a section for all varieties. Most plant lovers, especially Southern California gardeners, are either into succulents and cacti or flowery botanicals. I’m into the latter given my Midwest roots, but have inherited succulents in my landscaping. We are fortunate in Coronado to be a wonderful growing environment to an eclectic mix of all, so please plan on entering what you have growing in and around your home. The show also has tented sections showcasing orchids, bonsai, annuals, perennials, arboreals and even herbs! You will be pleasantly surprised to know much of your horticulture is show-worthy.

The Rose section is beloved by many with a top-notch tent display, which is aptly themed as “wave of roses” this year. If you grow roses, I highly suggest you enter your best ones. There are many kinds and varieties of roses, most of which have a spot within our 33

class offerings. Clip yours Friday and first-thing Saturday morning of show weekend; - our legendary section chairs will kindly set your entries in a tiered display.

This year you can expect to “sail away” with Coronado Woman’s Club as they lead the Container-Grown Plants sections of the Horticulture Division. Foliage and flowering plants have their own respective sections, as do hanging plants. Terrariums are within Section B: foliage container-grown, which is a unique creative opportunity for entrants to create a miniature landscape within a non-hanging, transparent-sided container. This is as whimsical as it gets within horticulture. Accessories are permitted, so get your shells and crystals ready for their design moment, too.

Cut Plants is my favorite tent as it showcases much of our island’s botanicals. The tent, “cockles of flowers,” is a plethora of full blooms and delicacies. At this point in life I’m kicking myself for not becoming a botanist — I’d love to lead the tent while admiring and skillfully organizing these plants for judging. Annuals, perennials, corms, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, herbs and arboreals (any flowering,

foliage and/or fruited plants, with berried or coned branches) all compete. Nature is full of beautiful colors, shapes and designs — cut flowers shine in this respect. Last year I entered an olive tree branch clipping! It's that easy! Your participation matters, as we collectively showcase Coronado’s beauty for all to enjoy during the show. The knowledge-sharing element that takes place, with the botanists’ skillset in leading this tent, is inspiring. Cut Plants display the heart of all our gardens under one tent.

Magical plants exist throughout the show. My children always meet our Speciality Plantings tents with awe. The Bonsai & Hon Non Bo tent and the Orchid tent play nicely with our Ocean of Flowers show theme in imaginative ways, each with unique themes: “bonsai beach” and “ocean breeze.” We welcome all amateur Bonsai & Hon Non Bo exhibitors with open arms. This is a wonderful hobby to take up because it is a cross between container gardening and floral artistry. We are hopeful our community can strengthen this tent in the coming years, as the allure is truly mystical. Similarly, orchids possess a sublime nature within their majestic, tropical blooms. The San Diego County Orchid Society will be holding their Orchid Spring Show the same weekend, so we have adjusted with a simpler show schedule as we are hopeful for an increase in local entries and local award winners, too.

The Succulents and Cacti tent, themed “secrets of the sea,” comprises four show sections. Each section provides separation between the types of plants and the containers that hold them. The first two sections are straightforward with classes for single species plantings. The latter two sections provide opportunities for combination plantings within the entrant’s choice of vessel, such as dish gardens or planters. Using seashells as containers would add an incredible touch. If this is of interest, please utilize the first part of March to master your entry, as we expect all entries to have been in the owner’s care for at least six weeks.

DIVISION II: DESIGN

Our Design categories all include flowers in one way or another. With National Garden Club standards guiding each section of this division there are rules to review; however, please check any nerves at the gate. We have the following sections: Petites, Floral Design, Picture Boxes and Table Design. Each offers novice and celebrated designers an opportunity for unique experiences that turn into beautiful displays. You will find design styles listed next to most design entry

classes, which refer to the structure and direction of the design. A National Garden Club (NGC) award is offered for each design section, along with local awards.

Our Ocean of Flowers theme brings forth the Petite Designs: “from sea to shining sea” portion of the design division, which comprises two small scale design sections. Section A: “tradewinds” must utilize natural dried plant material and the classes sound like an intriguing trip east: Seas of Japan, Sea of Cortez and South Pacific. Section B: “seas of wonder” is designer’s choice, which simply means the entrant gets to choose the plant material utilized. This is great because the classes lend well to fresh plant material’s vibrant colors with class themes: Caribbean sunshine, Arctic white and Mediterranean hues.

Like Petites, the Floral Designs tent “bouquets on board” consists of two show sections, Section C: All aboard the SS Flora-Nado and Section D: "Catch the Wave." Novice designers rejoice — the first class: "Anchors Aweigh," is open only to designers who have not been awarded a blue ribbon within previous Coronado Flower Show design sections. Additional classes are sure to fill up quickly with themes like “sunset dinner cruise,” “spinnaker flying,” “hanging ten in Malibu,” "pipeline" and "big kahuna." The designs found in this tent are pleasing to the eye due to variability in size, placement and even framed suspension.

Picture Boxes exude mystery and delight. This year’s “treasure island” theme plays right into the “a pirate’s life for me” Section E theme. The class titles become dimensional within the dark tent: “mermaid’s grotto,” “by the light of the moon,” “bring me that horizon,” “message in a bottle.” It is all about movement and line formation with a visual story right before your eyes. As a first-time entrant last year I assure you these class titles are fitting with the expectations of executing NGC design styles. This year NGC’s Luminary Design will really "wow" the tent viewers as the design will include “lit” elements. Creative Design and Creative Line Design styles are also showcased, which places emphasis on line formation and direction — the flowers, or lack thereof, lead the viewer’s eyes into the designer’s imaginations. This tent leaves many wonderstruck, so it’s no wonder it is a fan-favorite!

Table Designs is a crowd-pleaser — this year’s theme “table settings by the seashore” is sure to be a hit in our beach community. Let the short class descriptions for Section F: “sand” and Section G: “sea” lead your imagination. It is imperative to understand NGC standards for

all table designs. All tables must be functional and appropriate for the time in which the meal is served (for instance, do not put candles in a daytime setting!). The intentional layers that meet the eye are important; however, less is more when it comes to items within a balanced tablescape. Florals paired with tablescapes within Section F: “sand” must be fresh, whereas those within Section G: “sea” are designer’s choice. Flatware is not necessary for table designs.

DIVISION III: SPECIAL EXHIBITS

Our Flower Show thrives with diversity, so it feels fitting that Education Exhibits and Men’s Creations are placed together in the schedule under Special Exhibits. Within the show’s education tents, we are able to provide the public in-depth knowledge-share from Coronado horticulture and climate leaders. This year, The Water Conservation Garden will be joining us as a new exhibitor. We welcome them in relation to our show theme, Ocean of Flowers, and know their passion for educating and inspiring through all types of gardening will be well-received.

Our Men’s Creations tent adds its own show flair, a familiar and light-hearted layer of the show. Don’t be fooled by a quick Google search like I was — the tent theme, “Flotsam and Jetsam,” is truly about repurposing sea waste and trash, not focusing on the 80’s heavy-metal band. Current event parodies are seedlings which entrants are encouraged to grow. Forewarning to all who enter, this is a non-judged yet wildly popular tent that departs from NGC standards. Our judges kindly look the other way, knowing it is a different kind of way to bring the community together.

DIVISION IV: YOUTH

The Coronado Junior Woman’s Club will be leading the Youth Section’s “sunken treasure” tent, which is an expansive effort that has paired wonderfully with the club’s mission of enhancing the spirit of our town through educational, civic and philanthropic services. Bridge and Bay Garden Club shines in this section as well, lovingly directing show attendees in the creation of handtied bouquets. Both clubs’ presidents serve as honorary ex-officio board members for Coronado Floral Association. We are grateful for their

leadership as we foster a love for flowers within our youth.

The pride that springs forth amongst our youth entrants, paired with their genuine amazement and glee is heart-warming. Picture plates account for most of our Pre-Junior Class; these designs are aplenty from all our preschoolers and kindergarteners across Coronado and Silver Strand schools. Zoo’s Who is wildly popular in our Pre-Junior and Junior Classes, preschool through fifth grade, with each creation being made exclusively of fresh fruits and/or vegetables. This year, entries can come from individual students or from teams as long as all members are the same grade level. Please, parents, put the toothpicks and skewers down and allow your kids to shine — there is nothing better than a child winning an award for something they created. Floral and petite designs, as well as container-grown plants, are varying classes across our youth division which are great ways to foster love for becoming a show entrant for years to come.

The Coronado Cultural Arts Commission will play a role in this show season as they have throughout the years, with a portion of their focus set on the Youth Division.

DIVISION V - BOTANICAL ARTS

Our final show division, Botanical Arts, focuses solely on floral photography. This year’s tent, “a tidal wave of petals," has subsections including flowers, flowers and critters, and flower and plant art. Reservations are required and the rules have been adjusted to account for technology-driven shifts within the field. We will be welcoming the partial use of AI in Section D: Class 12. Immersed in our show’s Ocean of Flowers theme, I am most looking forward to viewing photography from Section E: Class 15, “garden reflections”.

Now that you have a feel for the Divisions and Sections, know that a spot as an entrant in this year’s show exists for you. It is best and necessary to sign up for design classes through reservations, all of which are being offered online this year. Lucky for us all, the categories under our “Ocean of Flowers” show theme lead the imagination and senses alike on an expansive journey.

Entry cards are key to smooth delivery within the Horticulture Division show weekend, so feel free to pick up a few at the Coronado Public Library, conveniently located across from Spreckels Park, or at Crown Garden Club and Bridge & Bay Garden Club meetings. If you are unsure of your plant species, utilize your Google lens to capture the plant name. Entries will be welcomed on the show weekend starting Friday evening (4-6pm) as well as Saturday morning (7-9am).

Show judging will take place late Saturday morning prior to the official show opening. This allows for ribbons to be placed and awarded, a highly anticipated element of the show. Sunday afternoon, as the show is in its final hours, we will honor our winners in a live awards presentation at 3pm. We encourage and welcome all to come celebrate a time-honored event that spans many generations, and please stay for the rose and cut flowers sale at 4pm.

The importance of entering, volunteering, and attending the Coronado Flower Show is both a privilege and a necessity: it is Coronado’s longest-standing tradition. The Flower Show has run for over 100 years and we hope it will continue for 100 more. All work and preparation is done through good stewardship and is completely volunteer-based, with generous funding support from the City of Coronado. Flowers tend to lighten moods, rooms and even seasons. By entering this year’s show, you are putting faith in our town as well as yourself, a meaningful contributor to our town’s beauty. May we continue to come together year after year for the love of the lighter things in life: a smile, a helping hand, a homegrown bloom. Cheers to the show, and let the fun commence!

With love and flowers, Ali Blake

The Heart of the Community

By Ivy Weston

We at the library take pride in the fact that the library is in many ways the hub of the community. Everything is free. Everyone is welcome. We have materials to educate and entertain, beautiful spaces in which to read and work and of course, our many events during which people can come together and enjoy an experience. The month of March is no exception!

Vote Center

The library will serve as the only Vote Center in town for the upcoming Primary Election. From Saturday, March 2 through Tuesday, March 5, the Winn Room will be open bright and early each morning for Coronadans to vote in person or drop off their mail-in ballots. The Vote Center will be open from 8am to 5pm March 2-4, and from 7am to 8pm on Election Day, March 5. For more information, please visit the San Diego County Registrar of Voters website at sdvote.com.

Community READ 2024

The Community READ is here! Now in its eighth year, the Coronado Community READ is designed to unite the community through the shared reading of a single book. The program encourages discussion and participation in planned community-building events around the theme of the title, selected by you, the readers. This year’s title, chosen by YOU, the readers, is Remarkably Bright Creatures, a brilliant debut novel by Shelby Van Pelt about a talented giant Pacific octopus who befriends Tova, a grieving widow who is employed as a cleaner at the aquarium. Marcellus the octopus ends up having a greatly positive impact on Tova and other characters in this heartwarming tale. Remarkably Bright Creatures is appropriate for and can be enjoyed by high school students, too.

Programs such as an author appearance, book discussions, concerts, lectures and so much more are happening all through the month of March. Pick up a Community READ 2024 brochure at the library or find an electronic version on the library’s website. The brochure lists all of the month’s programs.

Shelby Van Pelt and her book, Remarkably Bright Creatures, that won the vote for this year's Community READ program.

For kids, tweens and young teens, library staff have chosen books on the same theme as the Community READ. For kids, it’s Inky the Octopus, written by Erin Guendelsberger and illustrated by David Leonard. This fun picture book, based on a true story about an octopus who escapes his tank (which also happens in Remarkably Bright Creatures), includes lots of facts about octopi and marine biology. For tweens and young teens, the pick is Consider the Octopus by Nora Raleigh Baskin and Gae Polisner, in which two 12-year-olds embark upon a fast-paced adventure to help save our oceans.

Author, Erin Guendelsberger, reading her book, Inky the Octopus during storytime.

Author, Nora Raleigh Baski, and her book, Consider the Octopus.

The library has stocked up on copies of all three books, including electronic copies, so get yours today and read alongside the library and your fellow Coronadans!

San Diego Storytelling Festival

The library is proud to host the San Diego Storytelling Festival, for the third year in a row, an all-day celebration of oral storytelling for all ages. Put on in partnership with the Storytellers of San Diego, the festival features entertainment in the Winn, Ruby and Spreckels Rooms, as well as the children’s area of the library. The festival’s theme this year is “Building Bridges” and includes open mic storytelling (including a session for kids), and sessions such as storytelling with an art project being created in the background, veterans’ stories and of course, “story concerts” by the amazing Storytellers of San Diego. There’s also always a “community stories” session, which this year features the Turning Wheel Project, spotlighting the history of Chicano Park. The Turning Wheel bus will be parked outside the library for people to explore — it’s like a really cool museum

inside. Turning Wheel project founder Dr. Alberto Pulido, professor of Ethnic Studies at USD, will also present a session in the library about Chicano Park art and its long tradition of lowriders. The festival will be held on Saturday March 16, from 10am to 6pm at the library and includes live music.

Book Clubs!

Check out the Library’s book club lineup for March:

Mystery Book Club. Meets Monday, March 18 at 2:00pm in the Winn Room to discuss Green for Danger by Christianna Brand. This club meets regularly on the third Monday of each month.

Spoilers Book Club. Meets Saturday, March 23, at 2:00pm in the Winn Room to view the 1995 film Sense and Sensibility.

Music in our Schools is Music to our Ears!

By Susan Levy and Merissa Corey

Astroll down the halls of Coronado’s schools is often accompanied by the sounds of music coming from band rooms and auditoriums. In schools all across the country, many children are introduced to a musical instrument for the first time. Every March, we recognize the joy and importance of music education with a national monthlong celebration. Growing from a one-day celebration in 1973, MIOSM® was designated as a national month-long celebration by the National

Association of Music Educators in 1985. MIOSM® is an opportunity for our schools’ music educators to showcase their music programs and highlight the value of music education. This year, the crown city shines a spotlight on MIOSM® at a free concert featuring the Coronado Middle and High School Bands, along with the Coronado Concert Band on March 14th at 7pm at Coronado High School.

Placing an instrument into the hands of a child unlocks a bounty of cognitive and creative skills. Matt Heinecke, music director at Coronado Middle and High Schools, knows the value of music education firsthand. An accomplished professional singer and guitarist, Heinecke first picked up a guitar in elementary school and continued to perfect his skills throughout his school years. Now more than 20 years later, he shares his musical passion with students in Coronado schools and sees the far-reaching benefits for his students.

“[Music education] gives students a sense of belonging, it helps build confidence, and importantly, helps enrich the learning experienced in core academic classes,” Heinecke says. “I always think of a piece of music like a puzzle, and the ensemble has to make each piece fit together. It takes teamwork, the ability to blend, balance, and listen to one another.”

Fred Lee, director of the Coronado Concert Band and a music educator for over 40 years, also started his musical journey at a young age. performing in school bands and orchestras, playing through high school and into college as a music major, he later earned his graduate degree in conducting.Lee attests to the positive impact of music education on students’ personal development.

“The multifaceted challenges of learning to play an instrument stimulate the brain in unique and profound ways,” Lee says. “Students who learn to play instruments excel in math, science and language

development and do better on standardized tests. They are also more likely to finish college and have successful careers.”

Beyond the academic benefits, Lee also sees the invaluable social and emotional value of music classes.

“Students learn teamwork in its truest sense — not just collaboration,” Lee says. “This instills a sense of responsibility, interdependence and pride. They learn to be creative and to share the joy of making music, enhancing their own lives and the lives of others.”

Both educators’ words ring true for Kristine Sim, a member of the Coronado Concert Band and a former student of Lee. First starting with the piano at an early age, she joined the South Bay Union School District Concert Band as a percussionist in the fourth grade, continuing her journey through college. In addition to gaining advanced skills in music performance, Sim credits her music education as a source of both academic and personal growth.

”Music education made a huge contribution to my academic and personal development, building my confidence and encouraging others to pursue their passions,” Sim says. “It felt like having a home away from home. Music educators like Mr. Lee set an example and challenged me at a young age to pursue and be the best version of myself I could be both inside and outside of the band room.”

Come join the Crown City’s MIOSM® celebration to support and recognize our student musicians and educators. Mark your calendars for March 14th at 7pm to enjoy this collaboration of Coronado’s music makers. It is a real treat to see firsthand the passion for music unfolding across the ages.

• Susan Levy and Merissa Corey are active members of the Coronado Concert Band and also serve on the band's Board of Directors.
