The Coronado Island Film Festival
Rolls out the Red Carpet November 6-10
It is such a great privilege to be the guest editor of the November 2024 issue of Crown City Magazine! I’ve eagerly awaited this month all year, as it marks the culmination of so much hard work in bringing incredible films and industry luminaries to Coronado for the Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF).
Now entering our ninth year, we’re building on the energy and momentum of past festivals to make 2024 our best year yet! From celebrated Tribute Honorees to outstanding local filmmakers, red carpet studio features, indie premieres and our incredible SHORTSFEST, which will include 12 incredible shorts — covering student films, comedy, animation and international entries — there’s truly something for everyone. This year, the SHORTSFEST will be hosted in the Carousel Room at the iconic Hotel del Coronado.
We’re thrilled to announce that the Hotel del Coronado has returned as our Presenting Sponsor, and we are equally excited to bring back our signature Industry Tribute Awards Gala in the stunning newly restored Crown Room, where the magic of cinema meets historic elegance. This year's Tribute is proudly presented by the highly respected Auen Foundation — a night you won’t want to miss!
This year’s Culinary Cinema Series is presented in partnership with the San Diego Bay Food & Wine Festival, and it’s sure to be a hot ticket for epicureans, blending the best of film and artisanal bites!
We’re also unveiling a new format for our Salute to Veterans, with a special Military Track hosted in the Winn Room. On Saturday, veterans can attend any of these military-themed films free of charge as we honor their service.
And, of course, our festival wouldn’t be complete without our star-studded awards events and fabulous parties, where you’ll have the chance to celebrate with filmmakers and fellow movie lovers. 2024 will feature some of the most buzzed-about films destined for awards season — CIFF is your front-row seat to what’s next in cinema! Find all the programming details on page 16.
The Coronado Island Film Festival remains a vital platform for showcasing filmmakers, telling diverse stories, bringing people together and fostering community. This November, take a break from the noise of election season and decompress from politics — step away from the headlines and join us in celebrating the JOY of storytelling and the power of film. We will be waiting on the Red Carpet for you!

The Coronado Island Film Festival Returns for its 9th Year
NOVEMBER 6 - 10
By Chelsea Van Voorhis

t’s no secret Coronado Island is rich in cinematic history.
From Marilyn Monroe to Top Gun, the Island just over the blue bridge from downtown San Diego has been a charming and inspiring destination for Hollywood elites for more than 100 years! The Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) is proud to carry on this legacy through the power and magic of filmmaking.
CIFF’s ninth season runs November 6-10 with a curated a slate of immersive programming including studio and independent films, engaging panels, parties and the premiere gala event — the Leonard Maltin Industry Tribute Awards Gala — returning to the iconic and newly restored Crown Room at Hotel del Coronado.
Join filmmakers, industry executives and entertainment leaders at the five-day festival and catch one of the red carpet films and San Diego premieres, including the Opening Night film, UNSTOPPABLE, from Amazon MGM Studios. This inspirational sports drama starring Jharrel Jerome, Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle and Bobby Cannavale tells the story of a college wrestler who, despite having one leg and facing adversity, dreams of going pro.
The San Diego premiere and Centerpiece Feature, A REAL PAIN from Searchlight Pictures, is a comedy-drama about mismatched cousins reuniting for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The film was written, directed by Jesse Eisenberg, and stars Eisenberg, Kieran Culkin, Will Sharpe and Jennifer Grey. This year’s Spotlight film, FLOW, is an animated adventure fantasy film that was selected as the Latvian entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
The Closing Night film, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG, from NEON, is a suspenseful thriller about a judge grappling with paranoia amid political unrest in Tehran. When his gun vanishes, he suspects his wife and daughters, imposing
draconian measures that strain family ties as societal rules crumble. The film is Germany’s Official International selection for the 2025 Oscars®. CIFF’s other featured Closing Night film is a special screening of THE WIZARD OF OZ, hosted in celebration of its 85th anniversary at the iconic Hotel del Coronado’s Vista Terrace with a reception ahead of the screening.
This year’s Culinary Cinema Series will be held in partnership with the San Diego Bay Food + Wine Festival. The series kicks off with FISH & MEN, a documentary feature that exposes the high cost of cheap fish by revealing how consumer demand drives the global seafood economy, threatening local fishing communities and public health. One of the chefs featured in the film, Michelin starred chef Michael Cimarusti, will participate in a post-screening panel along with filmmakers Darby Duffin, Adam Jones and San Diego’s own Tommy Gomes. BUDDHA JUMPS OVER THE WALL, a film about Chef David Yárnoz and his high-end restaurants in the North of Spain and Taiwan, explores the post-pandemic problems he faced to bring Spanish cuisine to the other side of the world where local chef, Kai Ho, tirelessly searches for influences to combine the produce of his land. A reception will follow the film. Lastly, CIFF will host the world premiere of MARCELLA, the first documentary about the remarkable life of Marcella Hazan, who is credited as being a pillar of resilience as she overcame early life challenges to eventually become the “Godmother of Italian cooking.” The film’s Emmy and Peabody award-winning Director Peter Miller, and Producer Renée Frigo, will be featured on a panel following the film. An exclusive for CIFF will be the screening of WILD HOPE: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, which tells the inspiring story of “wacky genius” Pat Brown, the inventor of the Impossible Burger. Brown will attend the screening and postreception featuring vegetarian tastings. The Culinary Cinema Series features celebrated chefs, savory bites and crafted beverages and wine at all screenings.
CIFF will feature an outstanding selection of documentaries including SUGARCANE from NatGeo. A stunning tribute to the resilience of Native people and their way of life, the debut feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. CIFF will also feature the San Diego premiere of WATER BROTHER, a feature documentary that follows the life of Sid Abbruzzi, an East Coast legend and cultural icon. The film features interviews with Tony Hawk, Shepard Fairey and other giants of the surf and skate world. The film takes the audience on a captivating journey through the history of surfing and skating, from 1960s Newport, to Santa Cruz, Cocoa Beach, South Africa's Jeffrey's Bay and beyond.
A special documentary short that follows the Pacific Beach-based band, Saint Luna, produced by CIFF in partnership with Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival, will have its world premiere during the festival followed by a special performance featuring Saint Luna and local music industry leaders.
A nod to Veterans Day, CIFF will host a special Salute to Veterans, Military Track featuring ROHNA CLASSIFIED. The film is a shocking World War II documentary that uncovers classified documents confirming that the large number of casualties in a secret attack that remains the greatest loss of life at sea in the history of US war, was due to non-functioning lifeboats and inadequate lifebelts worn by the soldiers. THE ATOMIC ROCKETEER is another featured documentary on Operation Paperclip and early V-2 Rocket Development at White Sands, New Mexico. A Shorts track, FOCUS ON VALOR, will highlight amazing stories of our warriors and veterans each with a different perspective and profile on those who fought and immortalized their sacrifice. These screenings will take place on Saturday, November 9th in the Winn Room of the Coronado Library. Veterans have free admission and are encouraged to attend.
CIFF was founded in 2016 by Coronado native Doug St. Denis, a sixth-generation member of a distinguished Navy family. After moving frequently, Doug returned to Coronado in the 1960s as a Navy wife with three young children, while continuing her professional acting career and staying deeply involved in the arts across Coronado and San Diego.

Beach Tours
Panoramic photos by Joel Ortiz
A Tour Like No Other
Pedal Beach Tours is a Coronado pedicab tour led by volunteer experts. It’s a unique opportunity to experience an open-air tour of Coronado with every ride supporting children’s holiday dreams. All proceeds from the tour go to charity!
“It’s just like the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland without the boat, and the animals, and the jungle, and the giant mouse,” Jeffrey Davis, Coronado High School Principal 1993-2000, laughs as we board the comfort of our pedicab for our guided tour of Coronado. He chuckles when he tells us, “Prepare yourself for an entertaining, occasionally humorous, and mostly truthful tour.”
The stage was set for Crown City Magazine’s tour! More than a Tour Company—Pedal Beach is a Charity
As fun as the guided pedicab tour of Coronado is, that’s not even the best part. We were thrilled to discover that all the proceeds from Pedal Beach Tours go to fund a charity. All funds raised are used to fund Christmas presents for underserved children and Christmas dinner for them and their families. In October, with the help of local agencies, children from families in great need are identified by Pedal Beach Charities. The young children of these families are asked to write a letter to Santa Claus.
The Pedal Beach Staff does not actually send the letters to the North Pole, but rather have the Pedal Beach Elves open the letters. Next, Pedal Beach buys the gifts the children have asked Santa for and then the Pedal Beach Elves deliver the gifts, along with a Christmas meal with all the trimmings, to the children and their families just prior to December 25.
Pedal Beach Tours — Pedicab Tours of Coronado
The tours are conducted by a highly educated and talented volunteer tour guide and pedicab driver who provides you with a 90-minute, nine-mile tour of Coronado. They pick you up with the pedicab at the location of your choosing as long as it within the village of Coronado. Most people are picked up from their home or hotel.
The open-air pedicab provides a delightful way to tour the city. We were able to experience unobstructed views at a lovely, casual bike-pace that allowed our senses to embrace the fragrances and sounds of this jewel of a city.
Pedal Beach Employees Answer to a Higher Authority
One hundred percent of the funds from Pedal Beach Tour goes to fund the charity.
Pedal Beach Charities works with the South Bay Unified School District who help identify the children and families that are in great need.
Tour Guides Who Work for Free?
No Way—Yes Way!
We were astonished, and then impressed, when we learned that all Pedal Beach pedicab tour guides and drivers are all volunteers. No employee of Pedal Beach Tours receives any salary or compensation. The guides have other day jobs. When we asked to know more about the guides, Davis in his usual humorous fashion said, "Two are physicians (babies delivered free of charge on tour), one airline captain (gets lost a lot), one educator (no one misbehaves on his tours), and two attorneys (court assigned job instead of being jailed for contempt). They are all unique individuals who are passionate about making the world a better place. They care…a lot. I’m told they all cried when they watched Pay It Forward."
$100 for a Tour for UP TO 6 People — No Way, That’s Incredible!
That’s right. We were pleasantly surprised to find out the very reasonable price for this adventure. Each tour is only $100 (per tour, not per passenger), and you can have up to six passengers! The pedicab seats four to five full sized adults comfortably; it's a definite squeeze if you go for the six adults. When you book your tour, you must decide how many people and how much wiggle room you want in the pedicab.
A Spectacular Tour for a Wonderful Cause
Our only regret of the tour was that it ended. We were ready to keep going, but we heeded the directions when tour guide Davis again cracked us up when he said with an ear-to-ear smile, "Get out!"
The tour was spectacular and we highly recommend it, not only for the entertainment and educational value, but for the great charity Pedal Beach supports. You can book a tour seven days a week between 10:00am and 8:00pm at Pedalbeach.org or by phone at (858) 967-1189. I’ve been told you can call and book a special nighttime holiday tour to view the spectacular holiday lights and sights.

Crown City History
IN COLLABORATION WITH CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
CORONADO HOSPITAL
BY CAROL PASTOR, CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION VOLUNTEER PHOTOS COURTESY OF CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
Although the Hotel del Coronado did not open until 1888, there were people here on the island as early as 1886. They were the workers responsible for the construction taking place. Originally they could be seen each morning rowing over from San Diego heading to the building site. It was not long before many decided to pitch their tent and live here, families arriving not far behind. It became apparent to Babcock and others that they were about to see a town growing up around them. With this happening, what did they need? They had already experienced several fires where they had to have the San Diego fire brigade come over on the ferry to fight the fire. Obviously, a fire brigade or fire department was going to be in their future. Crime, although minor for the most part, became the responsibility of the constables in San Diego. Item number two — the need of some form of police activity, locally, not across the water coming over from San Diego. And who would take care of the sick? Due to several diseases by 1887, two physicians had already come and gone. At the end of that year, a Dr. Barnes opened a sanitorium in a large house called the Ross House. The duration of this endeavor is unknown.
The Coronado Hospital entrance, c. 1953.
History tells us that there were several doctors in the early 1900s who came to set up some form of practice. However, it does not say how long any of them stayed.
We do know Dr. Paul Wegeforth set up a small fourbed hospital facility to help those of the island in need of medical attention. When he moved his practice to San Diego, it left Coronado without a hospital. Then a registered nurse, Maud Lancaster, a visitor at the time, came to the rescue of Coronado and took over the operation. She called it the Health Care Center, which was subsidized by the City of Coronado. She operated the facility for 16 years, retiring in 1938. At the same time back in 1926, a building on Orange Avenue was converted into a twelve-bed hospital, privately owned and operated as the Coronado Emergency Hospital. It ultimately became a nonprofit, community-owned facility. And so it went until 1939 when the Speckels Company donated land for a larger hospital. The new building, on the current site, was opened in 1942.
Coronado grew, the bridge opened, and more people chose to live in Coronado than ever before. Our hospital was not big enough to handle the situation.
Realizing the overwhelming need for more, fundraising began in hopes of a new and larger hospital. In 1970, the board’s dream was realized when the new 64-bed, four-story tower was opened, still in use today. This provided a facility for anyone from Coronado to have hospital services here rather than having to go across the bridge for care.
In 1994, the facility became Sharp Coronado Hospital. To meet the town's growing needs, Sharp Coronado continues to expand, opening a state-ofthe-art ICU. Construction is also underway to double the size of the Emergency Department. The 181-bed hospital provides high-quality medical care to residents and visitors alike. Sharp Coronado now serves 29,000 patients annually in its emergency department, offering care in medical and surgical needs, as well as extras including valet parking, an excellent dining facility open to the public, a gift shop and more — how far we have come! What else could we hope for in our community of Coronado?
• Carol Pastor and her family have lived in Coronado since the mid-1970s. Mother of seven girls, many of whom still live here in the village, Carol has been involved in the community over the years with the Friends of the Library, Historic Resource Commission, and most recently writing about Coronado history for the Coronado Historical Association. An avid history buff since her college days, exploring our local history is a perfect fit.

Cornbread for the Holidays
By Clyde Van Arsdall IV
Imagine a Southern household where cornbread reigns supreme. Dad's mason jar, always brimming with bacon grease, was a testament to this. The sizzling, smoky flavor of bacon fat, a secret ingredient that elevates cornbread to a new level, is a culinary marvel you must experience. If you've never tried this magic in your cornbread, you're in for a delightful surprise. The absence of this crucial ingredient in your recipe suggests you might also use grocery store cornmeal, but fear not. I am here to share an important culinary mantra: ingredients matter.
You can only sometimes rely on the local grocery store to provide the best products. I often order high-quality ingredients through the mail; good stone-ground cornmeal is one of them. I buy mine online from Anson Mills. Coarse-ground yellow cornmeal, Carolina Gold Rice, stone-ground grits and field peas — I order them all. These treasures contribute to the rich, authentic flavors of good Southern cooking. Why does quality cornmeal matter? Most of what you can get in a conventional supermarket comes finely ground, producing a consistency I dislike. The coarse ground stuff is better — you can tell the difference immediately.
You are probably wondering why bacon fat. Bacon grease is the first and most crucial ingredient in any cornbread recipe worth its salt. The grease gets spooned into a scorching hot cast-iron skillet, and the cornbread batter is poured on top. The hot grease fries the batter, creating an ethereal crust with more than a hint of bacon. I can taste it as I am writing.
In our household, cornbread receives a generous amount of butter and a good drizzle of Steen’s Pure Cane Syrup or Plantation Blackstrap Molasses. Steen’s is a Southern Louisiana favorite that exists only online, but you can purchase molasses locally.
If you ask someone from the South who makes the best cornbread, they will most likely say their mother, and I must agree. My mom Sybil’s cornbread is still my favorite, she uses sugar and there is a great divide over sweet and savory. I do, however, also love Sean Broc’s savory version. For those of you who don't know, Sean is a Southern chef who has led the modern revival of
Southern cooking while stressing the importance of local heritage ingredients. His recipe, which I will share, has actual bacon bits in the cornbread. I use his recipe when cornbread is a topping for chili or a hearty stew and it is also excellent for Thanksgiving stuffing (dressing).
If you're interested in my mother's cornbread recipe, it's just a click away. Simply go online and type in Sybil’s Cornbread, and her recipe will pop up on the Cooking Channel website. I'm incredibly proud of this. When I appeared on the show Man Fire Food, Season Four, Fiery Outdoor Kitchens, they asked me for some recipes, and there you have it: Sybil’s Cornbread is there for the masses. I prefer Sean’s recipe for Thanksgiving dressing; use it in your favorite recipe.
If you don't have a good dressing recipe, I love Edward Lee’s Cornbread Oyster Dressing, which you can find on the Garden and Gun website. Oyster dressing gives me an excuse to buy and shuck some oysters, a family holiday tradition. Edward Lee and Sean Broc are two chefs worth looking at — they both own several award winning restaurants in the South. I hope you do some digging.

Cracklin’ Cornbread
Recipe by Sean Brock from his Heritage Cookbook
• 4 oz of good bacon (Sean suggests Benton’s, but Boney’s Bayside Market has some good thick-cut bacon that I like to use)
• 2 cups of cornmeal, preferably Anson Mills Antebellum Coarse Yellow Cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon of coarse salt
• ½ teaspoon of baking soda
• ½ teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 ½ cups whole-milk buttermilk
• One large egg beaten
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 9-inch skillet in the oven to preheat for 10 minutes.
• Run the bacon through a meat grinder or very finely mince it. Put bacon in a skillet large enough to hold it in one layer and cook it over medium-low heat, stirring it frequently so as not to burn until the fat is rendered and bacon bits are crispy for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel to drain and reserve the
fat. You need 5 tablespoons of bacon fat for this recipe.
• Combine the cornmeal, salt, baking soda, baking powder and bits of bacon in a medium bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat and combine the remaining 4 tablespoons of fat, the buttermilk and the egg in a small bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just to combine; do not over-mix.
• Move the skillet from the oven to the stove, placing it over high heat. Add the reserved tablespoon of bacon fat and swirl to coat the skillet. Pour in the batter, distributing it evenly. It should sizzle.
• Bake the cornbread for 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Serve warm in the skillet.
Note: Nothing does cornbread justice like a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. I have six in different shapes and sizes but the one I use for cornbread is square and it is a family heirloom. One more quick tip — it’s nothing but an old wives' tale that you can’t use soap on your iron skillet.
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!

Fall Bourbon Punch Recipe
By Karyn Molina + Jessica Nicolls
This fall, Bourbon Punch is the perfect balance of warmth and sparkle for any autumn gathering. It's easy to prepare and can be customized with your favorite garnishes, making it a crowd-pleaser at holiday parties. Plus, the option to adjust the bourbon amount gives you flexibility depending on how strong you want it.
Ingredients:
For the Punch:
• 1 cup of simple syrup (cooled)
• 2.5 cups of apple cider
• 1 bottle of Prosecco or Champagne
• 1.5 cups of fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup of Cointreau
• 3 cups of bourbon (or less, depending on your preference)
For the Spiced Simple Syrup:
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of water
• 12 whole cloves
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 7 star anises
For the Garnishes:
• sliced Honeycrisp apples
• blackberries
• lemon slices
• star anises
• cinnamon sticks
• whole cloves
• ice
Instructions:
Make the Simple Syrup:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anises with the sugar and water.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar has fully dissolved.
3. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Strain out the spices. Set it aside.
Assemble the Punch:
1. In your favorite punch bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup, apple cider, fresh lemon juice, and Cointreau.
2. Pour in the bourbon — start with 2 cups and taste. You can add up to 3 cups, depending on how strong you like it.
3. Top the punch with a bottle of prosecco or Champagne. Stir gently to combine.
4. Chill the punch in the fridge until ready to serve.
Serve:
1. Just before serving, make a platter or board of your favorite garnishes, and set out next to the punch bowl (sliced apples, blackberries, lemon slices, star anise, cinnamon sticks and whole cloves). This not only looks pretty but allows your guests to serve themselves while you are putting the finishing touches on your dishes in the kitchen.
2. Add ice to the punch right before serving to keep it cool without diluting the flavors. Top with a few garnishes for a festive look.

IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE ISLAND YOGA KEEPS CORONADO LOCALS AND VISITORS GLOWING
By Christine Van Tuyl
Stephanie Anderson, the owner of Island Yoga Coronado, is a Coronado born local and graduate of Coronado High School and San Diego State University. Her grandparents moved here from Oregon during The Great Depression, and her family has called Coronado home for generations. The studio is fully independent (non-franchised) and has been helping people feel and look their best since 2019.
From the bottom: Ward, Reid, and Clark Anderson showing off a fun Quad Plank with their mom, Stephanie Anderson.
Anderson has a favorite quote: “The Fountain of Youth is a puddle of sweat.”
It’s fitting for a decades-long lover of Bikram Yoga, which is practiced in heated temperatures ranging from 100 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit with 40% humidity. She teaches the Bikram class — which features 26 yoga postures and two breathing exercises — at her studio, Island Yoga. Affectionately dubbed “the hot yoga studio” by locals, it’s located at 1330 Orange Ave, #210 in the Coronado Plaza across from the Hotel Del Coronado, just steps from the beach.
When it comes to Bikram, the defining element, of course, is the heat.
“Stress and sweat just leave your body,” said Anderson. “It’s amazing.”
The heated room warms up the body and helps with circulation, promoting detoxification and improves the functions of the body’s internal systems, according to Anderson. It also promotes deeper stretching.
“Think of your muscles like steel,” said Anderson. “When it’s hot, it stretches. If you’re stretching when it’s cold, you’re just breaking microfibers, it’s not stretching like you want to do it.”
The heat also aids in the performance of the digestive, circulatory, immune and lymphatic systems. It also decreases stress and increases feelings of relaxation, wellbeing, and can even improves sleep.
And, it makes you look good.
“The heat really detoxifies your body,” said Anderson. “It’s so good for your skin, and really cleans out your pores.”
Island Yoga also offers a popular Hot Pilates class, which is a completely different energy combining the Pilates principles of deep-core strengthening and high intensity
interval training (HIIT). It’s also practiced in a heated room at about 95 degrees. It’s a challenging, full-body workout.
“We also do a lot of hand weights in hot Pilates,” said Anderson. “I feel like women don’t always lift weights because they don’t belong to a gym, so I felt like we needed to do it.”
Finally, Island Yoga offers a Yin Yoga class, which features deep, restorative stretching… this time, with no heat. The restorative postures are held longer with the help of props. Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues and targets ligaments, joints, bones and the deep fascia networks of the body, in addition to muscles. This increases blood flow to the joints increasing range of motion in the hips, lower back and sacrum.
Anderson says all three classes really work together and complement each other.
“You’ve got the strength of Bikram Yoga, and the fun, bouncing energy of hot Pilates,” she said. “And then for the Yin Yoga, we put
Stephanie Anderson, owner of Island Yoga Coronado.
candles out, turn out the lights, and it’s a very deep, restorative stretching yoga. I really wanted to incorporate more into the studio so people could get their full work out here.”
Anderson said she discovered Bikram Yoga while pregnant with her second son, living in Seattle. She said her back was hurting so badly from her pregnancy, she feared she was headed for a back surgery.
After she had her baby, she headed straight to the studio. It was love at first Half Moon Pose!
“I just started doing it,” she said. “Seattle was always so cold and I was so tired of being cold and heavy. From the beginning, I just knew…it was the best thing I had ever done.”
She said Bikram yoga became a sanctuary.
“I loved the warmth, and the sweating, and the quiet of the room,” she said. "At that time, I had two little boys, and I could come in and no one was hanging on me or needing anything from me. It was just for me.”
She said her back started healing and the pain left for good as she continued her practice. And, she got stronger. She started to feel better and look better.
“I was surprised how quickly I got into shape, and not only that, I felt healthier,” said Anderson. “I felt like my organs were working better, and I was getting rid of toxins. I also felt so much better mentally.”
Essentially, she says she would be lost without Bikram.
“I don’t know what I would have done without it,” she said. "My back hurt so badly that I didn’t know how I would live with the pain.”
Anderson was so dedicated to Bikram Yoga that she got certified to teach it and eventually bought Island Yoga in March of 2019. She was ecstatic to own a Bikram studio in Coronado, and quickly learned the ins and outs of running a business.
She remembers celebrating Island Yoga’s one year anniversary with her sister at dinner.
“I was like, this has been such a big learning curve, and it’s been really hard,” she remembers. “But now, it’s going to be easier.
Then COVID hit.
Island Yoga had to shut down on March 19, 2020. Then, like many other business owners in town, she went in survival mode.
“We did classes online, and we did them at the park,” said Anderson. “We did them on the third-floor patio of the building. I got donations from people who went to the studio. But I had to pay my rent.”
She was afraid they were going to have to shut down for good, until the City of Coronado offered COVID lifeline loans. She says she’s still its in the process of paying it back.
“I said, okay, now we may survive this, because it was really bad,” she said. “We would close, then we could open, so we were six feet apart, and we had little dots measuring the distance, then we were doing it with the doors open and the heat on.”
Anderson said it was her deep love of the community she created—and the loan from the City of Coronado — that kept her going.
“I just love it so much!” she said. “Where would I work out if it wasn’t here? We have such an amazing community. With the students, teachers and all of our staff, it’s like
a home here. People meet here. One couple even met here and had a baby! So many friendships.”
Anderson says she’s excited see the Coronado fitness scene grow and expand. "The more people work out, the better they feel, and the better they are to each other,” said Anderson. “Working out makes people happy, and happy people are good people.”
Overall, she feels that Island Yoga is a positive force community. Although everyone at her studio is at a different place on their fitness journey, they all have the same mindset of health and happiness. And that’s empowering.
“I feel like I can help make the world a better place, at least in my little corner,” said Anderson. “People who are working out are good to the people around them, and to themselves, and that just ripples out. It’s a spirit and a camaraderie and the likemindedness to do good in the world.”

Library Events in November
By Jacqueline Luna
November at the Library is bursting with opportunities for community members of all ages to dive into culture, creativity and connection. Did you know that November is National Family Literacy Month? Make a point this month to spend extra time reading as a family! Early exposure to reading is crucial for kids. It helps contribute to later academic success and helps prepare kids to communicate effectively and solve problems. Sitting and reading with your children, or children you care about, at any age has a profound effect on their later learning. While that love of reading starts at home, the library is a great place to head with your early learner to foster that love of reading!
Did you know the library offers storytimes for our early learners? On Mondays at 11am, caregivers and our earliest learners engage in songs, rhymes, simple stories and play. Perfect for birth to age two, this storytime is designed to help develop early literacy and social skills in a fun, interactive way. This time together strengthens the bond between caregiver and child and lays the groundwork for future learning by enhancing listening skills, stimulating sensory development and encouraging positive associations with books and reading from the very beginning of life. Every Tuesday at 11am, toddlers aged two to four are encouraged to sing along with finger plays, short stories, songs and movement activities. Each week has a different theme designed to bring a new concept or idea to our learners to help them make connections between the stories and the world around them. Storytimes help toddlers develop their listening abilities, social skills and early comprehension,
while movement-based activities support motor skill development. This environment encourages toddlers to explore language, interact with peers and experience books in a fun way.
On Fridays at 11am, three to five year olds have a storytime just for them! This storytime builds on the concepts of our baby and toddler storytime by combining engaging stories, songs and interactive activities. These themed storytimes introduce children to longer narratives and more complex ideas, promoting listening skill, comprehension and even just the ability and desire to listen to a story from beginning to end. Like our other storytimes, the group setting helps preschoolers learn social skills which are essential for kindergarten readiness.
You can do more with your library card than just check out books in the library, you can access great websites to encourage literacy. BookFlix combines animated storybooks with non-fiction e-books. Its interactive format encourages children to explore reading, learn new concepts and
build vocabulary while enjoying engaging visuals. It’s ideal for families looking to nurture a love of reading together. Watch & Learn Library provides short, educational videos on various subjects, designed to engage young learners through visual storytelling. The content is organized by grade level and covers topics like science, health and social studies, helping kids understand the world around them in an enjoyable and accessible way.
While you are at the library, don’t forget that seeing a caregiver read also has a positive impact on a child’s desire to read later in life. Make sure to pick up books for yourself, as well as fun titles to read aloud as a family, when you come in.
Join one of our book clubs and dive into a lively discussion of the latest read (see sidebar for dates and titles). Drop into a technology workshop designed to help you get comfortable with your devices (Nov. 4, 14, & 18).
On Nov. 13, explore the fascinating history of cookbooks and their cultural significance across different eras and regions with registered Dietitian Lucia Canul, who will delve into how cookbooks not only preserve culinary traditions but also reflect broader societal changes.
But there is much more. Head to cplevents.org for a full listing of all events for kids, teens and adults, with crafts, movie showings, concerts and more. This November, let the Coronado Library be your place for discovery, relaxation and connection.
Book Clubs!
Check out the Library’s book club lineup for November:
Spoilers Book Club. Meets Saturday, November 16, at 2pm in the Winn Room to view the film Goodbye Berlin based on the book by Christopher Isherwood. Spoilers Book Club participants read the book on their own, and then gather to view the movie version at their meeting. They then compare and contrast the book and film.
Mystery Book Club. Meets Monday, November 18 at 2pm in the Winn Room to discuss The Seventeen by Hideo Yokoyama. This club meets regularly on the third Monday of each month.
Best of the Best Book Club. Meets Wednesday, November 20, at 11am in the Winn Room to discuss The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. The Best of the Best meets regularly on the fourth Wednesday of each month to discuss books that have won major awards. The Song of Achilles won the 2012 Women’s Prize for Fiction.

Stars Shine Bright on Orange Avenue for the Coronado Island Film Festival
By Jeanmarie Bond
For more than 100 years, Coronado has shared the limelight with some of of Hollywood’s biggest stars, most distinguished directors, prolific producers and film industry experts. This fortune is in part due to our community’s proximity to this chic cinematic center, but more importantly due to the charm of our own enchanted island. Literally hundreds of Tinseltown’s most notable talents have either filmed a movie here while on location from their studio, or called Coronado their “home away from home” for periods of time. Because of this, the Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF), as it launches its ninth year, will again honor almost 200 Silver Screen sensations who have visited our city streets in the past, by placing stars up and down Orange
Avenue in Coronado’s own “Walk of Fame.”
Starting on Saturday, November 2, just four days before the launch of the Coronado Island Film Festival, you can traverse our hometown Champs Elysee, from the 600 block of Orange Avenue all the way to the Hotel Del Coronado to gain insights into some of the film industry’s most distinguished and revered celebrities who have graced our avenues over the decades. This sidewalk assortment of stars is designed to mimic Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame, so famously fashioned in coralpink terrazzo on a charcoal covered background. Accompanying each person's name inscribed on the stars is a QR code taking you to a list of biographies, alphabetized by first name, providing Tinseltown tidbits and star-worthy snippets about these illustrious figures.
First established in 2018, Coronado’s Walk of Fame was the brainchild of current CIFF Board Member Christian Esquevin, who conceived the concept to pay homage to Coronado’s decades-long connection to the film industry, while educating locals about the legacy of film in our own community. So many notables have traversed our city’s streets that it seems appropriate to share stories and little-known facts about some of those stars. Of course, if you’d like to take a “personal” tour of Coronado’s Walk of Fame, Doug St. Denis, who founded the Coronado Island Film Festival, will be leading locals on a personalized walk and providing myriad more interesting facts about the stars you’ll see. Visit their website for more details about this exclusive outing.
Did you know that the infamous Bert from Mary Poppins, the affable chimney sweep so beloved by all, once lived in the Coronado? Yes, Dick Van Dyke, his wife Marjorie and their four children owned a home at 55
The Point in the Coronado Cays. His youngest daughter, Carrie, attended CHS from 1974-1977, before the family moved to their ranch in Arizona. Coronado local and CHS graduate Terry Curtin was one of Carrie’s acquaintances, and described her as “very well liked, down to earth and funny.” Curtin adds, "I recall her parents coming to events, and her father driving her to school.” Van Dyke’s Coronado Cays home sold in 1977 for more than $300,000. According to Redfin, that five bedroom, four bath home overlooking the water is currently valued at $4.8M.
Two-time academy award winning actress Emma Stone sunbathed in the sand along our shimmering beaches and loved cosmic bowling when she and her family visited Coronado in the summer as a child. Growing up in Arizona, where she attended Xavier College Preparatory School in Phoenix, Stone launched her acclaimed acting career at the Virgina G. Piper Performing Arts Center on the Xavier campus — a 1,200-seat theater, art gallery and classroom. According to Stone, “We went to Coronado every summer, so I always think of driving over that bridge from San Diego, and then walking down that little strip on the main street, going cosmic bowling at midnight, eating at [Night and Day] 24-hour diner at 3am. That’s summer to me. We'd just hang out on the beach and walk around and go to Hotel del Coronado and learn about the ghost of the hotel.”
America’s Sweetheart Mary Pickford and her dashing husband Douglas Fairbanks frequently stayed at the Hotel del Coronado when on vacation or making films in San Diego. In fact, in 1915 Pickford starred in A Girl from Yesterday, which featured scenes filmed on John D. Spreckels’ personal yacht in Glorietta Bay.
Clark Gable, best known as the King of Hollywood, stayed in Coronado in 1931 while on location filming Hell Divers at Naval Air Station North Island. The San Jose Mercury reported in 1954: “Clark Gable always stops at Hotel del Coronado when he’s on one of his La Paz fishing trips.” A year later, Gable married Kay Williams, the former wife of Adolph Spreckels, son of hotel owner and Spreckels park namesake John.
Coronado’s Walk of Fame sidewalk stars are fashioned after Hollywood Boulevard’s own Walk of Fame.
Likewise, Ronald Reagan filmed Hellcats at NASNI in 1957. By then, our former president was already a veteran of the entertainment industry. Costarring beside him was Nancy Davis (a.k.a. Nancy Reagan), who played Lieutenant Helen Blair opposite Reagan’s Commander Casey Abbott. At that point, the couple was five years into their marriage, having been “set up” on a dinner date in 1950 when he was president of the Screen Actors Guild, and they married on March 4, 1952.
One of America’s most beloved comedic couples, Dezi Arnaz and Lucille Ball developed their “Ricky and Lucy” personas while staying at the Hotel Del in the 1950’s. Under the direction of “Pepito the Spanish Clown,” a renowned vaudeville performer, Dezi and Lucille dreamt up their characters as Cuban bandleader Ricky Ricardo and his zany, star-struck wife while practicing beneath the turrets of Coronado’s most famous landmark.
The beloved performer Liberace was discovered while playing at the Hotel Del Coronado in the early 1950’s. Hired as a pianist, hotel management offered him a “night off” one relatively slow evening when very few guests were in attendance. To his good fortune he declined, because Seymour Heller was in the audience that evening. As a prominent figure in the entertainment industry at the time, Heller quickly recognized Liberace’s talent and signed on as his agent and artistic director, a position he kept until this flamboyant musician’s death in 1987.
It's common knowledge that Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon all stayed at the Hotel Del in 1958 for the filming of Some Like It Hot. What is little known, however, is that Curtis was married to Hollywood star Janet Leigh at the time. Leigh accompanied her acclaimed actor husband during that visit, as she was pregnant with the couple’s youngest daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, who was born November 22, 1958.
Past celebrity sightings around Coronado are endless, the list of myriad movies filmed here are magnificent and our community’s Tinseltown connections are vast. More importantly, the Coronado Island Film Festival, established in 2016, is an iconic cornerstone event in Coronado’s cultural arts calendar each year. With more than 150 films, panels, parties, lectures, galas and other events occurring between Wednesday, November 6 through Sunday, November 10, this cinematic extravaganza is something you don’t want to miss. Likewise, starting on Saturday, November 2, stroll down Orange Avenue, beginning at the Hotel Del and continuing to the 600 block of Orange Avenue, to view Coronado’s infamous “Walk of Fame” and learn more about the film industry giants who have graced our city’s streets.
