SUMMARY:"Down to the Bone" Caitlin Rother and the McStay Family Murders
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of true crime and investigative insight as New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Rother discusses her latest book\, Down to the Bone\, a riveting deep dive into the San Diego-based McStay family murders. This high-profile case captured national attention—featured on the cover of People magazine and in several TV documentaries—and led to the conviction and death sentence of Joseph McStay’s business associate\, Charles “Chase” Merritt. \nAt this special event thanks to the San Diego Writers Festival\, Rother will take the audience behind the scenes of her reporting\, unpacking how assumptions\, missteps\, and courtroom controversy—including claims of confirmation bias and prosecutorial misconduct—shaped the outcome of one this disturbing case. \nBooks will be available to purchase thanks to Bay Books Coronado. A book signing will follow the event.  \n\nABOUT DOWN TO THE BONE\nIn her latest work of investigative nonfiction\, DOWN TO THE BONE\, New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Rother explores the messy high-profile case of the McStay family murders\, which were featured on the cover of People magazine and in several TV documentaries. Rother takes readers step-by-step through the decisions\, assumptions\, and theories by detectives and prosecutors that ultimately led Joseph McStay’s waterfall builder\, Charles “Chase” Merritt\, to be sent to death row after a trial marked by accusations of confirmation bias and prosecutorial misconduct. \nJoseph McStay was last seen on Feb. 4\, 2010\, when he had lunch with Charles “Chase” Merritt. Subsequently unable to reach Joseph for days\, Merritt urged Joseph’s mother and brother to contact authorities\, while Joseph’s other associate\, Dan Kavanaugh\, called the police himself. Joseph’s brother Michael finally reported the family missing on Feb. 15\, but detectives found no blood or sign of a struggle in the house\, and no clues to the family’s whereabouts. Soon\, Merritt and Kavanaugh were pointing fingers at each other as they fought for control of Joseph’s business. The only thing that key parties in this case could agree on was that this case was about money. \nWithin months of the family’s remains being discovered\, San Bernardino County sheriff’s detectives had focused their investigation on Merritt\, despite the lack of forensic evidence tying him to murder at the house or in his truck and belongings. During a six-month trial\, the defense illustrated that Kavanaugh\, who was never considered a suspect and ducked a subpoena to testify\, had the same alleged motive as Merritt. \nThis book takes a behind-the-scenes look at the flaws in the two sheriff’s investigations and the prosecution’s firm belief that they got the right man\, despite contradictions in their timeline and the unanswered questions about when and where this family was killed. \nAfter reviewing voluminous court files\, including 1\,200 exhibits\, hundreds of photos\, and thousands of pages of records\, Rother was able to paint a comprehensive and compelling portrait of this family’s life at the time they disappeared. In addition to these public records\, Rother’s book is based on her own interviews and crucial discovery materials—including witness interviews and investigative reports—that took a dozen years to obtain. This deep research enabled her to disclose new and exclusive case details that have never been released publicly\, to describe the eventful journey to trial\, and to sensitively portray the lasting impact on Joseph’s and Summer’s families. \n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nCaitlin Rother has written or co-authored 16 books\, ranging from true crime to thrillers and memoir. A New York Times-bestselling author and investigative journalist\, Rother worked nearly 20 years for daily newspapers. Writing books full-time since 2006\, she draws from decades of watchdog reporting on topics from addiction to suicide\, mental illness\, murder\, government\, political corruption and the criminal justice system. A popular speaker\, she has appeared more than 250 times on TV\, radio\, and podcasts as a crime expert. A former writing instructor of 10 years\, she coaches a limited number of aspiring author clients. In her spare time\, she goes ocean swimming\, sings and plays keyboards in a jazzy\, bluesy trio called In the Lounge.

SUMMARY:Yard Sale Fundraiser for Childhood Cancer Research
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado High School Jr. Optimist Club\, in conjunction with the Optimist Club of Coronado\, is hosting its annual fundraiser for childhood cancer research on Saturday\, July 12\, from 8 to 11:30 am at 777 H Ave\, and the community’s support is needed to make it a success. \nThe Jr. Optimist Club (JOI) is an international service and leadership organization focused on learning how to make a positive impact on the community. For example\, the club is involved in a multitude of activities\, which have included writing birthday cards to Veterans\, making holiday cards for residents in assisted living homes\, participating in Honor Flight San Diego\, organizing beach clean ups and food drives (Souper Bowl of Caring)\, and supporting events and efforts of the Coronado Community Center\, FOCUS\, PAWS\, and the Coronado Optimist Club. The group has even adopted a school in Barrio Logan that educates young mothers and expecting teens. \nOne of the biggest and most rewarding campaigns is the annual yard sale\, which is run in conjunction with the adult Optimist Club. It is so rewarding because 100% of the profits raised are used to support childhood cancer research. For the past several years\, yard sale funds have been donated to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation\, a charity dedicated to finding cures for childhood cancers\, and the plan is to again donate this year’s funds to St. Baldrick’s. \nThe sale this year features a wide selection of high-quality items\, including bikes\, surfboards\, outdoor furniture\, rugs\, a TV\, a ping pong table\, a baking stone\, clothing\, brand-new shoes and cleats\, craft items and much more. Thus\, there will be options for everyone. While organizing this yard sale can be a huge feat\, the best part about the JOI club is the lifelong friendships these kids make through activities such as this yard sale. \n“It really is fun looking at all the items\, meeting people in my neighborhood\, and hanging out with friends all for a good cause\,” said former JOI member Andrew Borgie. \nVisit the sale on Saturday\, July 12\, between 8 and 11:30 am at 777 H Ave and help support the Coronado JOI club and childhood cancer research. \nFor more information on JOI\, the Adult Optimist Club\, or the yard sale\, please contact JOI club advisor Erin at 619-675-1323. \nNov. 2009 – Shoppers look through the variety of goods for sale at a designated stop along the A1A Super Scenic 72-mile Garage Sale.

SUMMARY:Callooh Callay! A Brillig Look At Wonderland Through A University Looking Glass
DESCRIPTION:Join Linda Cassady for a journey into the literary wonderland of Charles Dodgson\, better known as Lewis Carroll\, through the treasured Cassady Carroll Collection of University of Southern California’s Special Collections. This engaging lecture explores how a remarkable book collection has inspired students to discover the genius behind Alice’s adventures\, transforming some into artists in their own right. Discover the extensive works by and about Lewis Carroll housed in the USC Special Collections\, and learn how an innovative Wonderland Award competition sparks the imagination of Southern California students as they pursue and rediscover Dodgson’s legacy. Come see how students tumble down their own rabbit holes of creativity\, finding Alice in the wonderland of their own imaginations through art\, literature\, and scholarly exploration. \n\nThe Carroll Collection \nThe Cassady Lewis Carroll Collection was established in 2000 and has grown to contain more than 6\,000 rare books\, pamphlets\, letters\, and other items related to the work of Lewis Carroll including inscribed editions\, books from Carroll‘s own library\, and many works by major illustrators of the Alice stories. There are signed copies of movie scripts\, playbills from stage adaptations\, Victorian-era playing cards\, and pop-up books. More recently\, comic books\, graphic novels\, manga editions\, literary parodies\, computer games\, movies\, and original art work related to Carroll and his Alice books are part of the collection. \nThe Wonderland Award \nThe Annual Wonderland Award is an annual multidisciplinary competition at the University of Southern California that encourages new scholarship and creative work related to Lewis Carroll. A primary goal is to promote use of the G. Edward Cassady\, M.D.\, and Margaret Elizabeth Cassady\, R.N.\, Lewis Carroll Collection\, held in Doheny Library at USC. \nSince 2005\, about 600 students have reimagined\, reinterpreted\, and remixed Carroll’s stories. Submissions include film and screenplays; poetry and readings; short fiction; book art [writing desks\, boxes of wonder\, missing diaries]; music\, lyrics\, scores\, and performances; art [photography\, painting\, digital art\, art installations]; ballet and dance; golf courses\, board and digital games [with music\, readings\, and polysyllogisms]; illustrated novels; arts and crafts [dolls\, ceramic tea sets\, and fashion]\, and scholarly essays. \n\nLinda Cassady and her husband\, George Cassady\, MD\, gifted a Lewis Carroll Collection to the University of Southern California in 2000. Her area of “collecting” Carroll is as a sponsor and judge of the Wonderland Award\, an annual multidisciplinary competition that encourages new scholarship and creative work related to Lewis Carroll. Linda is a member of the USC Libraries Board of Councilors. She is the past president and current treasurer of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America.
