Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Alexia Palacios-Peters champions collaboration, facilities improvement, and tech review in bid for school board reelection (coronadotimes.com) — Coronado residents get a detailed look at school board president Alexia Palacios-Peters' priorities as she seeks reelection, from managing the district's shift to Basic Aid funding to tackling aging facilities and classroom technology. She highlights plans for HVAC and solar upgrades, tighter tech guidelines, and strong support for military families, drawing on her legal background and daily experience as a CUSD parent.
• ICE's secret database, Hurricane Isaias and more news to know Friday (usatoday.com) — Coronado families welcomed the USS Abraham Lincoln home this week after a grueling 321-day deployment, reuniting roughly 5,000 sailors with loved ones, including more than 120 fathers meeting their children for the first time. The broader national newsletter also covers an investigation into ICE's protester tracking and Hurricane Isaias' approach to the Gulf Coast, but Coronado's homecoming moment stands out locally.
• After months of hardship at sea, USS Lincoln sailors get rock-star welcome (charlotteobserver.com) — Sailors from the USS Abraham Lincoln finally returned to Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado after a grueling 10‑month deployment, including a record 265 days at sea. Coronado-area families described food shortages and low morale aboard ship, but those worries gave way to emotional reunions, live music, and community support as more than a hundred sailors met their children for the first time.
