He came to San Diego in 1955 and became a baseball historian in 1994. An accidental historian\, he has co-authored ten books\, seven about baseball. During Christmastime\, Bill can be found at Balboa Park’s Spreckels Organ Pavillion as Santa Claus.

Billy Swank was a “morning-glory.” He couldn’t hit the curveball…and never thought he’d become Santa Claus as an old man.

SUMMARY:Citizen Science: Solstice Sea Star Search
DESCRIPTION:Take part in a citizen science opportunity to search for sea stars! The California Academy of Sciences and the Nature Conservancy are requesting your help finding and reporting sea stars along the California coast during December 20-23. Join our environmental librarian as we search for sea stars in the tide pools and upload our observations into iNaturalist to share our data with researchers. Library staff can assist you with setting up and using iNaturalist throughout the event. \nWhere? We will be at the tidepools in the rocks behind/in front of the Hotel del Coronado. \nWhat were looking for? Sea stars\, also known as starfish or bat stars. Any sea star observations are important for researchers\, but they are particularly looking for observations of Sunflower Stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides). If you find any of these species\, please additionally email your iNaturalist sighting to solsticeseastarsearch@gmail.com. \nWhy the solstice? The best time to observe tide pools is during low tide. The winter and summer solstices typically coincide with some of the lowest tides in the year\, which can make them a great time for tide pooling! \nHow do we report observations? We will be using iNaturalist\, a free citizen science app used to connect people to nature and advance biodiversity science and conservation. Library staff can assist you with setting up and using iNaturalist throughout the event. Please bring your smart device. \nTeen volunteers can get community service credit for participating in this event. Contact tdavies@coronado.ca.us for verification.

SUMMARY:Emerald Keepers Eco-Lecture: Solar Electricity
DESCRIPTION:Learn about putting solar panels on your home!\nHave you ever wished you could have locked in that 1.75% 30 year morgage rate or lamented the price of gas today? Inflation is hurting our wallets. Product sizes are shrinking and prices are rising. It costs close to $100 to fill a 20 gallon gas tank. Natural gas and electric rates are at an all time high. SDG&E recently announced that rates went up even more beginning January 1. \nFortunately\, there is one way to reverse the effects of inflation and help the environment – solar energy.  It is possible to lock in electricity rates that SDG&E charged in 2012. If you’ve ever wondered how solar could benefit you but wanted more information\, don’t miss this informative workshop. \nPlease bring your SDG&E bill and reusable water bottle/coffee cup.

SUMMARY:Free Lecture: The Future of Historic Buildings in Tijuana
DESCRIPTION:World Design Capital San Diego Tijuana 2024 is an opportunity to shape the future of our region through the power of design. By showcasing our region as a global hub for design\, innovation\, arts\, and culture\, WDC 2024 fosters lasting economic\, social\, cultural\, civic\, and environmental impact. Aligned with this effort\, the Coronado Historical Association in partnership with the Coronado Arts Commission\, invites you to join us for a free lecture to learn about the future of historic buildings in Tijuana. On September 5\, 2024\, at 5:30 pm CHA will be hosting preservationist Maria Curry to talk about preservation efforts in Tijuana.\n \nTijuana has been called “the house of all people” and the “most visited border city in the world” where new communities form every day because of intense migration. In this quickly growing city with its bustling neighborhoods of free trade\, older buildings from the modernist era become hard to preserve. These architectural gems are often abandoned and then become obsolete or torn down. Unfortunately\, urban development\, economic forces\, and ineffective laws prevent preservationists from protecting Tijuana’s significant past.  Its tiled arcades and historically significant landmarks are at risk. As an advocate for historic conservation\, a public official\, and an academic in historic preservation\, Maria Curry will discuss the challenges to safeguarding the splendor of Tijuana’s architectural gems and local memory of bygone days.\n \nMaria Curry is an expert in historic preservation at the Secretaria de Cultura de Baja California. She holds an architectural engineering degree\, a master’s degree in restoration of monuments\, and is a Ph.D. candidate in Historic Preservation from Cornell University.\n \nThis event is free and open to the public however capacity is limited so reservations are required. Please rsvp by calling 619-4345-7242 or visiting coronadohistory.org. \n

Author Agin Shaheed will discuss the life of this skydiver turned national-recognized entrepreneur. \nBorn in Alabama in 1913\, “Skippy” Smith moved to Los Angeles California during the Great Depression with little to nothing in his pocket with hopes of becoming a pilot. By 1939\, he had become a renowned skydiver with his partner Mac “Skip” Gravelly. The duo became well known for the difficult and dangerous free fall jumps followed by delayed parachute openings at air shows.  \nSmith would eventually move to San Diego and become the first African American hired by defense contractor Standard Parachute to test\, pack\, and inspect parachutes manufactured for WWII. Around the same time\, comedian Jack Benny’s partner\, Eddie “Rochester” Anderson\, was looking for ways he could contribute to the war effort and was introduced to Smith. With Anderson’s financial backing\, Smith’s Pacific Parachute Company opened on 8th Street in San Diego in March 1942. Pacific Parachute earned recognition from Time Magazine as the “Top Black Owned Business in the United States” in 1943. Smith also notably employed one of the few integrated workforces in San Diego at that time.   \nAgin Shaheed\, a native Californian\, served in the US Navy from 1968-1972. He has authored two books in his “unsung hero” series. First\, Charles C. Flint\, The Man\, and His Times\, chronicles the life of one of Los Angeles’ most remarkable Black citizens. He also recently released the book\, A Musical Blueprint\, Ernie Freeman\, The Man\, and His Times which recounts the life of the Grammy-winning arranger\, composer\, conductor\, producer\, director\, bandleader\, orchestra leader\, and voice coach. Agin has also co-authored Our Roots Run Deep\, The Black Experience in California 1900-1970 and It’s Your Choice\, San Diego Unified Schools manual for African American Males. \nReserve your spot to hear the fascinating story of this African American entrepreneur who made history in San Diego. Learn more about this event and others online at coronadohistory.org or call 619-435-7242.
