OCTOBER 9TH

WALK, BIKE OR TROLLEY FOR A CULINARY EXPLOSION

Our 15th Annual A Taste of Coronado on October 9th, brought to town by the Coronado Junior Woman’s Club (CJWC), will be one to remember! The event features tastings from Coronado’s most prominent and beloved restaurants and retail stores. The self-guided event brings 800 guests from Coronado and beyond together for an evening of excellent food, drinks and shopping while supporting a good cause.

We are delighted to announce our main beneficiary this year is the San Diego Rescue Mission (SDRM), a non-profit homeless shelter and residential recovery center serving thousands of men, women and children experiencing homelessness, hunger, poverty and abuse in San Diego. SDRM provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, addiction recovery and job training to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness achieve self-sufficiency. This year, CJWC hopes to raise enough money to remodel an entire rehabilitation apartment specifically for women and children in the SDRM facility, aiding in the SDRM project to remodel apartments into safe, comfortable homes.

In addition to community participation, we are grateful to our sponsors for their support: The Hotel Del Coronado, our second-year presenting sponsor, and McKay and Associates, which has been a top donor for the past decade!

This year we are also offering a VIP Experience, brought to you by our sponsor, Hughes and Pizzuto, APC. VIP participants receive exclusive tastes and drinks, a special lanyard for cut-the-line privileges, and the best Taste has to offer with this wonderful perk!

CJWC is honored to serve our community, tailoring our efforts to organizations that support women and children in Coronado and San Diego. Please visit our website coronadojuniorwomansclub.org or follow us on Instagram @CJWC92118 for ways to join or donate!

JOIN THE CLUB FOR FRIENDSHIP & PHILANTHROPY

By Michelle Munns

The Coronado Junior Woman’s Club (CJWC) is a local nonprofit that began in 1960 to support women and children in Coronado and greater San Diego. We are an all-volunteer organization that falls under the greater federation of women’s clubs and always welcome new members! We come together on the third Tuesday of each month for community, friendship and to find ways we can impact Coronado.

The club contributes to Coronado in many ways. We provide consistent funding to Coronado Schools Foundation and Coronado Safe Harbor; we coordinate and host the Youth Section at the Coronado Flower Show; annual Double Served tennis tournament; Halloween Window Painting and Turkey Coloring Contest; we support campers for Sixth Grade Camp; and we provide two scholarships to Coronado High School

senior women who exemplify former member and community partner Marilyn Foster through their own service to Coronado.

Our largest fundraiser, A Taste of Coronado, will happen Wednesday, October 9th from 5-9pm.

Taste was created 15 years ago by CJWC member Deann Brown. She executed a vision of the community coming together to enjoy fantastic eats and drinks all over town. As the years passed, CJWC members scaled it to the event it is today.

Each participating restaurant donates all food and provides staffing for the evening. We could not do it without the generosity of Coronado business owners! Without a doubt, Coronado is such a unique community that continues to pour back into our schools, local organizations and businesses. A most special place to call home.

This year, we have four check-in booths: Rotary Park, Coronado Ferry Landing, Clayton’s Bistro and The Hotel Del (corner of RH Dana and Orange entrance). In this self-guided event, you can go any direction you choose on your tasting ticket. Each restaurant sets up at their storefront. Some restaurants provide drink discounts if you want to stop in and take it slow, or attempt to hit all the stops! Personally, I make it to about 10 stops every year — in part because I am full, but mainly because I love talking to people at this community event!

We now offer a VIP Experience, thanks to our sponsor Hughes and Pizzuto, APC. VIP participants can check in early at the Coronado Historical Association for exclusive tastes and drinks and to pick up their special lanyard with cut-the-line privileges. Get to tasting more restaurants faster with this wonderful perk!

As mentioned in our Guest Editor Note, the main beneficiary this year is the San Diego Rescue Mission (SDRM). The SDRM is a county-wide, non-profit homeless shelter and residential recovery center that since 1955 has served thousands of men, women and children experiencing homelessness, hunger, poverty and abuse in San Diego. This includes providing emergency shelter, transitional housing, addiction recovery and job training to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness achieve self-sufficiency.

“SDRM is deeply honored to be chosen as the beneficiary of this year’s A Taste of Coronado event,” said SDRM President and CEO Donnie Dee. “As a nonprofit organization, we solely rely on the generosity of organizations, corporations, churches and private donors to operate. Receiving the support of the CJWC will help us to continue our mission of transforming the lives of individuals and families experiencing homelessness and providing hope, healing and a pathway to a brighter future.”

The CJWC’s goal this year is to raise enough money to remodel an entire rehabilitation apartment specifically for women and children in the SDRM facility. SDRM is working to remodel all apartments to make them safe, comfortable homes. We all know how much our space can transform our lives and want that warmth brought to people who need it most! For more information on SDRM, please visit their website, sdrescue.org.

In addition to ticket sales, we are only able to bring such support because of our sponsors. The Hotel Del Coronado came in as our presenting sponsor for the second year. Our other wonderful sponsor McKay and Associates has supported Taste as a top donor for the last 10 years!

Purchase your tickets online at atasteofcoronado.com and join us on October 9th for this beloved community event, made possible by our amazing club members and sponsors.

From Dreams to Reality A Rewarding Journey Through the Arts

By Jennifer Salvetti-Kulla

Ifthere’s one thing I’ve learned from my years in the art world, it’s that every piece of art has a story to tell. I’ve been fortunate to spend my days immersed in these stories, whether through managing Art & Frames in Coronado, where I’ve been part of the team since 2018, or running my own business, JSK Fine Art Appraisals. Every day, I get to help people connect with the deeper meaning behind the art they treasure, and it’s a privilege I don’t take for granted.

My journey into the art world didn’t happen overnight. It started with a simple, genuine love for art and history that led me to pursue a bachelor's degree in art history. I was captivated by how art reflects the time and culture in which it was created, and I couldn’t get enough of studying everything from the delicate brushstrokes of Renaissance paintings to the bold statements of modern art. That passion took me further, inspiring me to earn a master's degree in museum studies, where I learned how to preserve and interpret art so that its stories remain alive for future generations.

One concept that truly resonated with me during my studies was provenance — the history of ownership behind an artwork. To me, it’s like uncovering the rings of a tree, with each ring representing a different chapter in the life of the piece — where it’s been, who’s cherished it and the experiences it’s witnessed. These layers of history give art

During a presentation called, "Behind the Red Ropes: Crunching the Numbers and Exploring the Motives of Contemporary Museum Protests and Vandalism," Ibrahim Bulut and Alice Bientinesi explain that an artwork’s significance makes it more likely to be repeatedly vandalized.

its depth, and uncovering them has become one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.

In 2020, my career took an exciting turn. Not only did I step into the role of gallery manager at Art & Frames, but I also took a leap of faith and started my own business, JSK Fine Art Appraisals. It was a big year, full of new challenges and opportunities, and I can honestly say I’m so grateful for every moment. Whether I’m working with seasoned collectors or someone who’s just inherited a painting and doesn’t know where to start, I find immense joy in connecting with people and helping them discover the value — both monetary and emotional — in the art they own.

My education didn’t stop with my formal degrees. I continued to build my expertise through the International Society of Appraisers (ISA), where I took specialized courses that deepened my knowledge of fine art appraisal. This education has been instrumental in allowing me to provide my clients with appraisals that are not only accurate, but also grounded in a thorough understanding of the art’s history and significance.

One of the aspects of my role that I hold dear is working in a gallery with a rich history of ownership by strong, talented businesswomen. Jill Hardman, who founded Art & Frames, and Trisha Zetterberg, the current owner, have not only shaped the gallery into what it is today, but have

also inspired me with their vision, leadership and dedication. It’s an honor to be part of this legacy, and their influence drives me to push the boundaries of my work and explore new horizons in the art world.

One of the highlights of my career came this past June when I decided, somewhat on a whim, to take a trip I’d been dreaming about for years. I headed to Italy to attend the annual conference held by the Association for Research into Crimes Against Art in Amelia, a charming town about north of Rome in the Italian countryside. It was a dream I’d had for a couple of years, and to make it even more special, my mom came along with me. It was an experience I’ll never forget, and having her there made it all the more meaningful.

The conference itself was an incredible experience, filled with passionate people who, like me, believe that art is worth protecting and preserving. We explored the critical roles of detection, crime prevention and the responses of both scholarly and criminal justice systems to combat art-related crimes and the illicit trafficking of cultural property.

After the conference, I enrolled in an intensive course focused on Holocaust-era provenance research, which took place in a 14th-century monastery. This course was deeply moving and profoundly important. We delved into the complex histories of artworks that were stolen or lost during the Holocaust, examining the Washington Principles that guide restitution efforts and discussing the ongoing challenges in achieving true justice for the descendants of Jewish victims. It was an eye-opening experience that reminded me just how powerful and necessary our work as art professionals can be.

Returning to Coronado, I felt more inspired than ever. My work has always been about more than just determining the value of a piece; it’s about honoring its history and making sure its story is told accurately and with respect. Whether I’m appraising a contemporary painting, working on re-designing a frame for a historic piece, or managing a collection at the gallery, I approach each project with a deep sense of responsibility and care.

I also couldn’t have done any of this without the incredible support of my parents and my husband. They’ve been my biggest advocates throughout my education and in building my business, and I’m so grateful to have them by my side.

I know it might sound like a cliché, but I really do feel so lucky to do what I do. Every day, I get to meet amazing people, hear their stories and connect them with the history of their art. It’s a privilege that keeps me excited to come to work every day, knowing that I’m helping to preserve something truly special.

Jennifer and her mom excited for their adventure in Italy.

As I continue my journey in the Coronado art scene, I’m reminded of the importance of taking the time to explore the rings — to dig into the layers and discover the stories that make life, and art, truly meaningful. And if I can help others see that beauty too, then I know I’m doing something right.

IN COLLABORATION WITH CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

CORONADO YACHT CLUB

BY CAROL PASTOR, CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION VOLUNTEER PHOTOS COURTESY OF CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

After the opening of the Hotel del Coronado in 1888 management had another matter to deal with: how to keep their guests entertained and busy. This later extended to the guests at Tent City as well. Sporting events started and grew as the village evolved into the city of Coronado. Meanwhile, yachts could be seen coming through the bay bringing family and friends, not to mention potential buyers, to the boathouse across from the hotel.

Young people stand on the edge of their sailboats as a race begins, c. 1940.

Local sailors had few places in which to anchor. It was not until 1913 that the first yacht club officially came to Coronado. Unfortunately, it did not survive due to World War I. It was not until April of 1932 that the

second opening of the Coronado Yacht Club took place. A portion of the boathouse was leased to the club and for $10.00 a year in dues, you could become a member. The club has always been a private, members-only facility. It was not long before the 200 new members were busy working on the new docks and slips. Over the next few years, dredging of Glorietta Bay allowed much wider use of the bay and gave access for other invitational events.

In 1946, a lease was secured on the current site. Development began. In 1947 the Yacht Club acquired a government surplus building, moved it on site and then became part of the club’s facility.

Berthing facilities have also been expanded over time. There are now slips for more than 270 yachts, as well as accommodations for dry storage.

The Coronado Yacht Club now has over 900 members including the Junior Division. In

Both sections of the new clubhouse moving into position, c.1947.

1984 Olympic Gold medalist, Robbie Haines, sailing with two others (date unknown).

1969 the Juniors acquired an annex of the main clubhouse for their own clubhouse. They maintain their own sailing calendar, officers, as well as their own social program.

Sailing in Coronado has started with young children taking the summer course learning to sail their first sabot, proud indeed to graduate after those weeks. Some of those early sailors have continued into teens and on to adulthood sailing here in Coronado. Some have become outstanding sailors through college and beyond. Robbie Haines grew up on Coronado waters, sailed in the Olympics, won recognition time and again with a name known around the world in sailing. This year, Hans Henken was a bronze medal winner at the 2024 Olympics.

Coronado Yacht Club has a year-round yachting calendar that includes large regattas, Class and Handicap racing, Predicted Log Races, as well as organized cruising.

One event that must be mentioned is the Kitty Muhl Day Ladies Race. She set up the trophy back in 1946. Kitty was an excellent sailor but could not drive the boat in any of the other regattas; only her husband was allowed to compete, because she was a woman.

Boats at the Coronado Yacht Club, c.1920s.

The Muhl Day race was recently held this year, no doubt enjoyed by all the women who entered. This year, Z Force raced under the direction of Anne David. Many of you will remember the boat Z Force raced by the late Captain Herb Zoehrer, who left a lasting mark winning other CYC regattas over nine times.

From the past to the present, our one and only Coronado Yacht Club is a treasure in our town.

• 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.

Clam Chowder Autumn in a Bowl

By Clyde Van Arsdall IV

“Good food is very often, even most often, simple food.”

Every country and region has simple, comforting food, and these dishes excite me the most. Clam chowder certainly fits this bill, and my love for it started 3,000 miles away from Southern California in Newport, Rhode Island. So many of us Coronado kids worked for the Chart House — I was no exception. Eventually I transferred to the Newport Chart House as I started college at the University of Rhode Island.

The Chart House was located at 21 Bowens Wharf, right next to Aquidneck Lobster Company and directly across from The Black Pearl, a legendary restaurant on Bannister’s Wharf since 1967. While the Chart House had a legitimate bowl of chowder, The Pearl was — and is — the home of some of New England's best.

I get back to Newport every couple of years. When I return, I make reservations at Matunuck Oyster Bar in Wakefield well before I touch down at T.F. Green Airport. Upon landing, I make a beeline down the coast. I post up at the Oyster Bar and gorge myself on roasted and raw oysters and a cup of Rhode Island (clear broth) clam chowder. I take my time driving back to Newport. I need to make room for a Narragansett lager and a bowl of my favorite New England clam chowder at the Pearl. Yes, I double-dip on the chowda due to my wicked cravings.

There are two primary types of clam chowder: New England and Manhattan. A third, lesser-known variety is unique to the Ocean State.

Rhode Island Clam Chowder features a clear broth due to the absence of dairy. Adding stewed tomatoes makes it Red Chowder — we don't use the term Manhattan in Rhode Island. Tomatoes are a Portuguese influence that most likely started in Fall River, Massachusetts, with a significant Portuguese population.

The Black Pearl’s version of New England clam chowder is thinner than most, making it unique;

it's not the kind with the texture of Elmer’s glue. In addition to the excellent clam flavor, the dill is what pops. They have won the Newport Chowder Festival Cook-Off so many times that I am not sure they even compete anymore.

You can get a good bowl locally, as Coronado has a long history with chowder. Back in the day, the place to go was The Chowder House. You may recognize the building in the picture as Chez Loma. Thank you to Joe Ditler for the photo. Both the Brigantine and the Bluewater Boathouse serve a respectable bowl. If you find yourself in Little Italy, head into Ironsides, where you can get clam chowder served over French fries. Heaven on a plate! I always order this with one of their signature

Bloody Marys topped with a raw oyster. I need a moment! Last but not least, I would be remiss without mentioning the chowder at Swan Oyster Depot in San Francisco; a recent trip ignited my cravings for this briney delight and inspired this article.

Black Pearl clam Chowder is my gold standard. Not too long ago, I made a big batch for The Coronado Junior Woman's Club, and it got rave reviews. One of my dear friends' mothers, Rainy Kane, a former Rhode Island state senator, acquired the recipe I am sharing. Legend has it that this was once the Pearl’s actual recipe. If not, I don't care; it tastes like the real McCoy.

The Black Pearl’s Clam Chowder

Makes about 4 quarts

• 4 cans of Marina’s Cove Clam Chowder or a suitable substitute; last time, I used Snow’s from Vons.

• 2 cans of minced clams, juice and all

• 2 small cans of evaporated milk

• 1 pint of heavy cream

• 3 cups of whole milk

• ¼ pound of butter

• A healthy amount of freshly ground pepper

• 1 well-rounded tablespoon of fresh dill weed

• 1 bag of oyster crackers and some Tabasco for service

Combine, heat and serve. So easy and so good.

Note: This is an old version of the recipe. I doubt they start with canned chowder anymore, but we may never know, as the recipe is a well-kept company secret. They sell cans of Pearl’s chowder on Amazon, which is pretty darn good.

Kitchen Counter Styling

By Jessica Nicolls + Karyn Molina

We have all heard the saying “the kitchen is the heart of the home." Now with the coveted open floor plan that has never been more true. Styling your kitchen counters with items that are both beautiful and functional is the perfect way to blend your home decor style into the heart of your home. Here are our tips to strike the perfect balance between utility and aesthetics.

Photos by Samantha Goh

1 The Beauty of Simplicity

Start by decluttering your counters. Keep only the essentials visible and put everything else away in a cupboard or closet. This not only creates a cleaner look, but also gives you more space to cook and entertain.

2 Incorporate Natural Elements

Bringing natural elements into the space creates a lived-in feel. A small potted herb garden on the windowsill or wooden cutting boards displayed upright against the backsplash can add texture and are always ready to use. Even a bowl of fresh fruit can be a vibrant, everchanging focal point.

3 Showcase Quality Cookware

If you have a nice dutch oven, don’t hide it away. Placed on the stove, it can become a functional decoration. If you have a collection of copper pots, they can be hung by the stove for easy access. Not only are these items practical, but they help create a beautifully lived-in space.

4 Curated Containers

Glass jars or ceramic canisters are a favorite functional decor item of ours. Choose containers with a cohesive color scheme that complements your kitchen’s palette. Arrange them in groups of varying heights to create depth and visual interest.

5 Personal Touches

Your kitchen should reflect your tastes. Display a few decorative items that mean something to you — perhaps a vintage recipe book, a family heirloom, or a favorite piece of artwork.

Styling your kitchen counters is all about balancing form and function. By carefully selecting and arranging items that are both useful and beautiful, you can create a space that is not only practical but also a joy to spend time in. Whether you’re cooking a meal or simply enjoying a cup of coffee, a well-styled kitchen can enhance your daily experience.

THE BIRTH OF B*LONG PILATES A MODERN PILATES STUDIO FOR CORONADO

By Christine Van Tuyl

Liz Merrill didn’t know anything about Pilates until six months ago. She is, after all, a self-professed gym girl. She and her husband Nick own the wildly successful Sweat Circuit on Isabella Avenue, a fun strength-training circuit workout featuring weights and bursts of cardio.

But while recovering from a broken leg, Liz knew she needed something else.

“I was on crutches for sixteen weeks and there was a hitch in my giddy-up,”

said Merrill. “I was trying to figure out what I could do to strengthen that leg. It had quite a bit of atrophy from not using it for so long.”

A friend was teaching a Pilates class up in Del Mar, and Merrill agreed to give it a try. She remembers being in a bad mood driving up there; it was raining and she was grumpy. But after one class, everything shifted.

“I walked out of class a changed human,” said Merrill. “I was literally like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is what my body has been screaming for, for all these years.’ I just wasn’t listening.”

Merrill always felt like she had a pretty strong core, but Pilates was doing things for her body that other workouts weren’t. She says the technique is super effective at finding those little muscles that everyone needs for balance and core strength.

“The focus of Pilates is different, and the movements are different, and you stay in the move a lot longer, and it’s super hard in the moment,” she said. “It’s almost meditative because the mind-body connection is so intense. But when you’re done, you almost feel like you’ve been on vacation.”

That’s when she started researching group Pilates studios on the island. After all, she wasn’t going to drive up to Del Mar every day. She knew there

had to be something like this in Coronado.

Except there wasn’t.

So Merrill started playing around with an idea… What if she opened up a group Pilates studio for locals in Coronado?

“This workout was just like, wow!” said Merrill. “It was exactly what I needed. And I thought, wouldn’t Pilates be a great complement to what we’re already doing at Sweat Circuit?”

Merrill knew it had to be something special. It had to be social and it had to have camaraderie.

“I’m a group fitness girl…that’s how Sweat Circuit was born,” said Merrill. “I need people. I feel like this is really missing in the Pilates world. I want people to feel supported and for people to be a part of something.”

She couldn’t get the idea out of her mind. Fast-forward a few months, and Merrill is building out the space inside B*Long Pilates, her new studio. She loves the location at Crown Plaza, across from the beach, with windows facing the Hotel

Del Coronado. She’s got 14 reformers on the ready and is excited for her new adventure.

Merrill had help along the way. She is grateful for Ana Ducoing, who connected Liz with her favorite trainers, helped her find the perfect location and encouraged her take the leap. Julie King dove into Pilates with Liz and traveled all over San Diego with her to try out different classes. Liz is also thankful for how local builder, Qualcraft Contruction did an amazing job renovating the studio space.

You could say it’s going well. In fact, she sold out their Founding Membership in three weeks.

“I was so surprised,” said Merrill. “I feel so lucky that people are taking a chance on me without even trying it. A lot of them are Pilates enthusiasts, but a lot of them aren’t. They don’t know it except from what they’ve heard, and that just means so much to me.”

For Merrill, Pilates is something that you learn about, but never quite perfect, which is why it’s an amazing workout. And it’s making a big difference in her body. She hopes to bring those positive changes to the rest of the B*Long Pilates community.

She acknowledges that Pilates has different sorts of styles and flavors.

"Local

builder, Qualcraft Contruction did an amazing job renovating the studio space.

I am also grateful to Ana Ducoing, who helped me secure this perfect studio site selection in Crown Plaza, across the street from the Hotel Del!" —Liz Merrill

Merrill dubs hers “Modern Pilates,” which can feature faster-paced, strengthforward movements, designed to make muscles long and lean. It also features stretching. But the secret sauce, according to Merrill, is camaraderie and fun.

B*Long Pilates will follow the same formula you’ll find at Sweat Circuit: four-week cycles, that will complement the gym workouts. The Pilates teachers will design their own flows, but they will have guidance on what to focus on. That way, if someone does a workout at Sweat Circuit in the morning then heads to B*Long Pilates later in the day, they’re not working the same exact muscle groups.

But the most important thing, according to Merrill, is that everyone feels welcome and included. In fact, the studio’s tagline is “You belong here.”

“It’s just that,” said Merrill. “You belong to this community.”

Library Events in October

By Jacqueline Luna

2 New Exhibits!

Did you know that the Coronado Public Library offers free educational and cultural exhibits year-round? Exhibits rotate throughout the year, and this past year alone has featured a tribute to military nurses, an exhibit on local botanist Edith Purer, a glass art exhibit and a diorama inspired by Schoolhouse Rock. While some exhibits showcase the library’s own special collections, others feature local artists or serve to bring unique educational and or cultural topics to light.

Special Collections and Exhibits Librarian, Kelly Andrade shares that, "Exhibits in our library are vital because they bring collections to life, engage the community and inspire learning. Exhibits have always played an important role in our library, and we have been continuously rotating them since 1990. Some of the most memorable exhibits include ‘Centennial of Naval Aviation,’ ‘Golden Age of Hollywood,’ ‘Apollo Moon Missions 50th Anniversary,’ ‘100 Year Anniversary of the Coronado Flower Show,’ and ‘All Things Seuss!,’ as well as numerous military and Coronado historical exhibits.”

Patty Gonsenheim preparing the Día de los Muertos Ofrenda exhibit in the Children’s Library diorama.

Experience a celebration of life and memory with our Día de los Muertos Ofrenda in the Children’s Library diorama. Curated by Patty Gonsenheim, this display honors the Mexican tradition of Día de los Muertos by showcasing the intricately designed altars, or ofrendas, that pay tribute to departed loved ones. Each altar is a colorful tapestry of photographs, mementos and marigold petals, thoughtfully arranged to guide spirits back to the world of the living.

Several Catrinas designed by Ms. Gonsenheim are featured in this exhibit. La Catrina is an elegantly dressed skeleton celebrating and honoring the dead. She is present throughout celebrations of Dia de Los Muertos — you can see her reflected in ofrendas, in those who dress up as La Catrina and even in the sugar skulls omnipresent through the holiday.

Ms. Gonsenheim highlights the importance of Coronado’s Mexican and Latin American community through this exhibit. She shares, "Coronado's multicultural community would be greatly enriched by learning how Latin Americans celebrate and remember their departed loved ones.” She hopes that through this exhibit, children and adults will learn about and continue this ancestral tradition. To strengthen the community connection, she included photographs provided by the Coronado Historical Association, honoring and remembering individuals from Coronado’s past. You’ll also find other nods to Coronado’s history woven throughout the diorama.

Several Catrinas designed by exhibit curator, Patty Gonsenheim like this dragon will be on display at the Día de los Muertos Ofrenda exhibit.

This exhibit will be complemented by a lecture by Patty Gonsenheim, curator of this exhibit and creator of many pieces found therein. Learn about the past and present of an ofrenda on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at the Library. The exhibit was made possible thanks to the following contributors: Ana de Ovado, Bianca Oberwager, Cays Painting Group, Crista Garciarce, Coronado Historical Association, Jorge and Brenda Partida, Jose and Gaby Nacif, Katty Ibarra, Sea la Vie, Vanessa Gonsenheim, Lori Polak and others. The Día de Los Muertos Ofrenda will be on display through mid-November.

Our main exhibits hall shouldn’t be missed either. Starting Oct. 7, stop by to see Cookery Bookery, an exploration of the rich history of American cookbooks. This exhibit traces their evolution from colonial times to the present day. It will showcase how these culinary guides have shaped American culture, influenced home cooking, and reflected societal changes over time. Discover the stories behind iconic cookbooks, the diverse voices that contributed to them, and the changing tastes that have defined America's kitchens. The exhibit will be accompanied by the release of staff favorite recipes, programs, and more. Cookery Bookery will run until January.

Coronado Island Film Festival Presents This Year’s Culinary Cinema Series

in Partnership with San Diego Food + Wine Festival

By Chelsea Van Voorhis

The highly anticipated Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) will return for its ninth year of films, panels, and parties November 6-10, 2024! Each year, CIFF’s programming team and the festival's CEO & Artistic Director, Merridee Book, curate a slate of films of varying genres and topics to showcase throughout the 5 day festival. The Culinary Cinema Series has become a coveted part of the festival and this year, the series will be presented in partnership with San Diego Food + Wine Festival!

The Culinary Cinema Series is the ultimate fusion of food and film. Each year, food based films are screened then paired with a culinary experience or tasting that complements the on-screen story. In addition to the screenings, the series features engaging panel discussions, providing insights from filmmakers, on-screen talent and renowned chefs.

Together, CIFF and SDFWF are excited to team up and present a slate of films including FISH & MEN - THE HIGH COST OF CHEAP FISH, a documentary feature film by Darby Duffin and Adam Jones 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, Michael Cimarusti, chef and co-owner/ partner of two Mchelin-starred restaurants in Los Angeles, will participate in a panel and food demo following the film.

MARCELLA, the first documentary about the remarkable life of Marcella Hazan, will have its San Diego premiere at CIFF. More than a culinary icon, Marcella was a pillar of resilience whose life story is presented in this captivating film. Overcoming early life challenges including the loss of full function in her right hand and immigrating to New York, Marcella went on to become the godmother of Italian cooking. The film’s Emmy and Peabody-award winning Director Peter Miller, Producer Renée Frigo and Executive Producer Chef Art Smith will be in attendance on a panel following the film. Chef Art Smith is the co-owner of six restaurants, a twotime James Beard award winner, NYT bestselling cookbook author who also cooks for the world's most famous celebrities, having worked as personal chef to Oprah Winfrey for 10 years.

Additionally, a special screening of WILD HOPE: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE will be held. The inspiring story covers how a late-career epiphany led “wacky genius” Pat Brown to abandon his academic career and commit

himself to fighting global warming and biodiversity collapse, starting with a surprising product — an impossibly delicious plant-based hamburger, the Impossible Burger. Pat Brown, the founder of Impossible Foods, will attend the screening and post-reception featuring vegetarian tastings.

BUDDHA JUMPS OVER THE WALL will also be featured, a film about Chef David Yárnoz and his high-end restaurants in the North of Spain and Taiwan and 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.

"Partnering with the Coronado Island Film Festival to introduce the Culinary Cinema Series allows us to offer a unique blend of storytelling and cuisine, celebrating the artistry of food both on screen and on the plate,” says San Diego Food + Wine Festival Co-founder, Michelle Metter. "This collaboration brings a fresh, dynamic element to our festival, connecting film enthusiasts and food lovers through shared experiences that highlight the creativity and passion of chefs and filmmakers alike.”

Since 2018, CIFF has hosted the Culinary Cinema Series with past featured films including SUSAN FENIGER FORKED, a documentary following awardwinning celebrity chef Susan Feniger; THE BEST CHEF IN THE WORLD, which tells the story of Sally Schmidt, the original owner of the French Laundry; FUNKE, a documentary about renowned pasta chef Evan Funk; and Shannon Morrell’s compelling short, SPEAR. SPATULA. SUBMARINE, which highlights sustainability and activism. These screenings were followed by engaging panel discussions and top-notch food tastings.

San Diego Food + Wine Festival, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, was recognized as the “Best Wine Festival” by USA TODAY in the 10Best Readers’ Choice Travel Awards for two consecutive years and was named the national Festival of the Year by Fest Forums. SDFWF returns November 2-10, 2024 on Embarcadero Marina Park North featuring more than 300 chefs, wineries, farmers, artists and brands over the course of the week.

CIFF first launched in 2016 and was founded by Coronado native, Doug St. Dennis. Doug was partially raised in Coronado, born into a distinguished Navy family that spans six generations. Throughout her life, she moved around a bit before finding herself back in Coronado as a Navy wife with three young children in the '60s all the while she ccontinued to act professionally and stay connected and involved in the arts throughout the Island and San Diego.

Sharp Coronado Hospital is proud to be a leading provider of women’s care, offering advanced breast cancer screening technology. Our soothing, dedicated women’s imaging suite has a private changing area, aromatherapy and soft music to enhance comfort. And we provide 3D mammography, which can reveal breast abnormalities not seen in traditional testing, allowing for earlier cancer diagnosis and treatment.
