SUMMARY:Delta Beach Clean Up With Emerald Keepers
DESCRIPTION:Join Emerald Keepers on Saturday\, February 8 from 10 am to 12 noon to support the Navy’s cleanup of Delta Beach. \nDelta Beach\, on the bay side of Coronado’s Naval Amphibious Base\, is located 2.7 miles south of the Hotel Del. Look for the large Emerald Keepers sign by a gate in the fence. Volunteers can park at the Fiddler’s Cove parking lot at the south end of Delta Beach\, or parking will also be available on the sand inside the gated entrance to Delta Beach. \nRecruit your friends and neighbors as there is a large beach area to clean up. Registration is not required. Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and\, a picker and bucket if you have them. Emerald Keepers will have some gloves\, buckets\, and pickers available for volunteers. \nOn the bay side of Coronado’s Naval Amphibious Base\, Delta Beach is not usually open to the public or Navy activity as it is was recently designated a critical habitat for the Least Tern and Snowy Plover birds. As a result\, the large amount of trash that washes ashore is not accessible for most beach cleanups and accumulates throughout the year.

SUMMARY:FILM FORUM CORONADO: "Detour"
DESCRIPTION:Coronado Public Library\, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival\, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO\, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards\, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story. \nFebruary 19: Detour (1945\, Not Rated\, 70 min) \nEdgar Ulmer’s pulpy\, Poverty Row masterpiece epitomizes the dark heart of film noir. A down-on-his-luck NY night club pianist (Tom Neal) hitchhikes across the country to rejoin his girlfriend\, but fate tosses him into the clutches of the acid-tongued\, snarling Vera (Ann Savage). \nFebruary 19 Bonus: Key Lime Pie (2007\, Not Rated\, 4 min) \nTrevor Jimenez’s clever and creative noir homage uses all the noirish tropes to tell a tale of food lust. A man’s obsession with this savory deliciousness brings him face-to-face with the Grim Reaper.
