Island Icon: Jennifer Pecus Settle
By MIA CORONADO, America250 Project Intern
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be born in a different time? By examining the lives of graduates during America’s 1976 Bicentennial, the America250 Project, which is a collaboration of the Coronado Historical Association and Coronado Public Library, I learned the comparisons of student values, school experiences, and national pride between life in the 1970s and today. A significant voice during this era was that of students.
During this project, I interviewed Jennifer Settle, a 1976 Coronado High School graduate. Learning from 1976 high school graduates about life during the 1970s contributes to the connections we can make today with the past and how we can understand and celebrate America now.
During the 1970s, American values and perspectives often revolved around what many remembered as a “simpler time”. For teenagers, then, ‘simple’ might have meant fewer responsibilities
or worries. Looking back, this idea of a simpler time sparks nostalgia, reminding us of the days that were less complicated, less stressful, or far less impacted by technology than the world we live in now. What counts as a simpler time is subjective. Jennifer describes her view of a simpler time when thinking of how teenagers roamed around town. She recalls, “In those days, there were no e-bikes; it was skateboards”. Through her memories, she highlights how different life once felt, such as when teens were once content with slower, simpler ways of getting around Coronado. In comparison to today’s social climate, communication has become faster with instant text replies and notifications, replacing the slower, in-person conversations. When scanning the 1976 yearbook, for example, you immediately notice how information was distributed through newspapers or printed announcements. Today, these same updates reach us through
instant notifications. Even slang has spread differently. In the 1970s, gnarly, surf’s up, and dude were popular slang terms. When looking back on the slang used in that era, Jennifer mentions, “So much is picked up on technology. For us, it was more word of mouth and more communicating or talking.” While slang was passed from friend to friend in the 70s, today, you might wake up to notifications of memes and trending sounds popping up on your screen with the latest phrases.
Although the high school experience has evolved since the 1970s, certain aspects have remained largely unchanged. During the 1970s, education focused on innovative technology like the typewriter, which became a popular skill to learn. For example, Jennifer recalls typing 120 words per minute. It is similar to today because many high school students take computer science and digital media classes. Between the 70s and today, technology has been an applicable skill for students to learn. Classes were also once designed to teach hands-on and practical life skills. Jennifer remembers, “There was woodshop. There was carshop. There was home economics, and boys or girls could do home economics,
and the other way around.” While high schools today don’t offer the same hands-on learning experiences, one subject in particular has grown in our community since the 1970s. The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) has expanded Coronado High School’s art programs, which encourage hands-on learning in visual art, contemporary dance, digital art, instrumental music, musical theatre, and theater production.
The American bicentennial in 1976 created a strong sense of national pride and unity, which we can compare to how we approach the upcoming 250th anniversary. During her senior year, Jennifer recalls a vivid vision of the town’s bicentennial
celebration, “We were the spirit of ‘76, our entire class cheer was the spirit of ‘76, so we were always about the bicentennial, lots of red, white, and blue, everywhere.” As 2026 is approaching the 250th anniversary of America, there is a noticeable decline in engagement compared to the bicentennial celebrations Jennifer remembers. With large online platforms, information and announcements are forgotten as soon as we swipe to the next thing that grabs our attention. Teenagers today are actively online and see these announcements; however, this information is quickly replaced by other content.
American values, high school experiences, and the celebration of the bicentennial during the 1970s continue to resonate with our own lives. Students in 1976 embraced a life centered around community, while also valuing hands-on skills taught in school, much like students today. Thanks to the Island Icons Oral History Program, we are able to explore the Bicentennial and how being a teenager has changed as the 250th anniversary approaches.
*Mia Coronado is a senior at Coronado High School. As a young artist, she aspires to pursue a career as a curator. Her passions include art, history, and photography. The America250 Project is a special edition of the Coronado Historical Association’s Island Icons Oral History Program, in partnership with the Coronado Public Library. America250 is a once-in-a-generation oral history project to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. Current Coronado High School students were paired with CHS graduates from the Class of 1976, who came of age during America’s 200th birthday. The goal was not just to record an interview—but to create a conversation across time, offering a rich dialogue about youth, community, and civic identity. The project allowed students to explore the similarities and differences between high school life 50 years ago and today.
Fostering Saves Lives
By JACKIE WILLIAMS, PAWS of Coronado
Every day at PAWS of Coronado, a quiet miracle is waiting to happen.
Right now, that miracle looks like a kennel door opening and a dog walking out into the sunlight.
We urgently need canine fosters.
Our dogs are wonderful, loving, resilient, but even the very best shelter cannot replace the comfort of a home. The sounds, the smells, the constant activity of a kennel environment can be overwhelming. Some dogs begin to shut down. Others become anxious. All of them are simply waiting.
Waiting for a couch.
Waiting for a routine.
Waiting for a person.
Fostering a dog saves lives. When you welcome one into your home, even temporarily, you not only change that dog’s world, you create space for us to rescue another. One foster home can mean two lives saved.
And here’s what we want you to know:
You do not need prior dog experience; we will thoughtfully match you with a dog that fits your comfort and experience level.
You do not need a large yard.
You do not need a large home — truly, anything beats a kennel.
You do not need to make a long-term commitment.
A small apartment.
A condo.
A cozy house.
To a shelter dog, your living room feels like a palace compared to a kennel. You just need compassion — and we’ll provide the rest.
PAWS of Coronado provides:
• All veterinary care
• Food and supplies
• Crates, beds, leashes, and essentials
• Ongoing guidance and support You are never doing this alone. We have amazing community members who foster in all kinds of ways:
• Taking a dog out for a few hours to give them relief from kennel stress
• Hosting a weekend “sleepover”
• Opening their home for a few weeks
• Fostering until adoption
Even a few hours outside the shelter — a long walk, a nap in a quiet living room, a car ride, a sunbath — can dramatically lower stress levels. Often, we learn so much about a dog’s personality in foster care, which helps them shine and show their true selves
What works for you?
A day.
A weekend.
A month.
A few hours.
Every moment matters.
And fostering doesn’t just change the dog, it changes you.
We’ve seen nervous dogs blossom into confident companions because someone gave them patience. We’ve watched families light up as a temporary guest became a source of laughter and connection. We’ve heard fosters say, “I thought I was helping them, but they helped me.”
There is something extraordinary about being the bridge between uncertainty and forever.
Right now, our canine friends need that bridge.
Not someone perfect.
Not someone with acres of land.
Just someone willing to open their heart and home. Our dogs are ready.
Are you?

International Women’s Day: Thriving After Gray Divorce
By Hayley Beard, CFP®, Financial Advisor
Today, one-third (36%) of divorcing adults are 50 or older (The Journals of Gerontology, 2022), and 77% of women who experienced gray divorce remain single 10 years after divorce (“Repartnering following gray divorce,” 2019). While that might sound surprising, many women view this as a time to focus on goals, dreams, and well-being without compromise.
Of course, there are financial realities to consider. Women older than 50 often experience a 45% drop in their standard of living
March 8 is International Women’s Day, a time to celebrate everything women have achieved and to honor their strength and resilience. It’s also a chance to have honest conversations about real-life challenges many women face. One of these is the growing trend of divorce among those ages 50 and older, often called “gray divorce.” While finding yourself in this situation can feel overwhelming, it also can be an opportunity to reclaim your independence and create a life that reflects your dreams and values.
after divorce (compared to 21% for men), and household income can fall by 23% to 40% in the first year (“The Economic Consequences of Gray Divorce for Women and Men,” 2020). So, building financial confidence isn’t just important; it’s empowering.
If you are 50 or older and recently divorced, take the following steps with your financial advisor. You don’t have to do it all at once; small steps can help lead to greater financial security over time.
• Find a financial advisor who truly listens
If you’ve ever felt unheard or dismissed, don’t settle. Your future deserves someone who respects your voice
• Create a flexible plan
Include your current needs, short-term goals, and retirement aspirations. Instead of feeling intimidated, you can let a financial advisor help make this simple and manageable.
• Social Security
If you were married 10 years or longer, understand your rights to Social Security benefits from your ex-spouse.
• Get clear on your finances
List your assets, debts, income, and expenses to understand your financial situation — the first step toward taking control.
• Build an emergency fund
Work toward having three to six months of living expenses in a low-risk, liquid account. This may take gradual, consistent contributions, but ultimately, this cushion can help provide a sense of security as you navigate your new circumstances.
• Review insurance and your employer benefits
Make sure your medical insurance coverage is adequate. Consider long-term care insurance to help preserve your retirement assets.
• Estate planning
Work with an attorney to review beneficiary designations on bank and brokerage accounts while updating your will, powers of attorney, and, as needed, a revocable living trust.
• Learn about money
Read, attend workshops, and join online communities focused on women and finance. Every bit of knowledge adds confidence.
Rather than being the end, gray divorce can represent a new chapter. This International Women’s Day, celebrate your resilience and your potential. The future is yours to shape, and it can be as bold, bright, and fulfilling as you want it to be.

A Community That Consistently Shows Up For Its Youth
On March 17, Safe Harbor Coronado partnered with local agencies and volunteers to host its annual Drug Prevention event at Coronado Middle School, bringing together sixth graders from across the community for a half-day of interactive education.
The Drug Prevention program, which has been running for more than 18 years, is designed for students ages 11–12 and focuses on helping them understand the risks associated with alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. All sixth-grade students in Coronado, from both public and private schools, participate in the event each year.
“The goal is to educate kids and give them the tools to make healthy choices,” said Safe Harbor Executive Director Danielle Maske.
The event used an experiential format that took students through a series of stations that simulated real-life scenarios and decisions.“We use a sequential experience that takes them through a series of choices,” Maske said. “[There’s] a wide variety of what healthy choices look like.”
Each station focused on a different aspect of drug awareness. There were six skits that showed the negative impact of using harmful substances, including a student falling to peer pressure; attending a risky party; a hospital ER response to a col-
lapsed student; the family finding out what happened to the student; and a debrief where counselors helped students process what they saw and reinforced making safe choices.
Jennifer Vasquez, the Safe Youth Program Coordinator, said that the response and engagement from the audience was very interactive. “Overall, the students were very receptive and open to the information being shared. They weren’t just sitting and listening—they were participating, asking questions, and reflecting. You could see them thinking critically and making connections.”
More than 60 parent volunteers and over 75 total community members sup-

“The goal is to educate kids and give them the tools to make healthy choices”
ported the event, alongside partners including the Coronado Police Department, Coronado Fire Department, and Sharp Coronado Hospital, as well as school counselors and administrators.
Over 40 student volunteers from Coronado School of the Arts and Coronado High School ASB participated as well. They helped set up and acted in different roles for the skits. “Their involvement adds such a meaningful peerto-peer component to the program,” said Vasquez. “One of the biggest pieces is volunteer coordination. It’s no small task to bring together over 100 volunteers, but every year our community shows up in the most incredible way.”
Organizers said the program is updated each year to reflect current trends affecting youth. Recent adjustments have focused on vaping and highly caffeinated drinks, which Maske said are increasingly common among middle school students. “That’s what kids are trying, and they don’t always realize it can lead to addiction,” she said. “We need to show them what those limits are and what they’re introducing to their bodies.”
The curriculum also emphasizes how substance use can affect brain development and mental health during early adolescence. “Changing brain capacity can impact your mental health,” Maske said. “We want them to understand that this is not something to experiment with.”
In addition to the student program, Safe Harbor offered a parent workshop to address follow-up questions and encourage continued conversations
Overall, organizers aimed to give students a clearer understanding of the consequences of substance use before they encounter it firsthand in order to make the right decision for their health and well-being.
“This program truly represents what makes Coronado special,” said Vasquez. “It takes a village to bring something like this together, and we are so fortunate to have a community that consistently shows up for our youth.”

Dungeon Crawler Carl
By Matt Dinniman
Book Corner
WHAT PEOPLE ARE READING THIS MONTH
A man. His ex-girlfriend’s cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.
In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.
The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.
Only a few dare venture inside. But once you’re in, you can’t get out. And what’s worse, each level has a time limit. You have but days to find a staircase to the next level down, or it’s game over. In this game, it’s not about your strength or your dexterity. It’s about your followers, your views. Your clout. It’s about building an audience and killing those goblins with style. You can’t just survive here. You gotta survive big.
You gotta fight with vigor, with excitement. You gotta make them stand up and cheer. And if you do have that “it” factor, you may just find yourself with a following. That’s the only way to truly survive in this game - with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy. They call it Dungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it’s anything but a game.
The Intruder
By Freida McFadden
Who knows what the storm will blow in…
Casey’s cabin in the wilderness is not built for a hurricane. Her roof shakes, the lights flicker, and the tree outside her front door sways ominously in the wind. But she’s a lot more worried about the girl she discovers lurking outside her kitchen window. She’s young. She’s alone. And she’s covered in blood. The girl won’t explain where she came from, or loosen her grip on the knife in her right hand. And when Casey makes a disturbing discovery in the middle of the night, things take a turn for the worse.
The girl has a dark secret. One she’ll kill to keep. And if Casey gets too close to the truth, she may not live to see the morning.
The Boys In The Boat
By Daniel James Brown
For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world.
Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.
Rules of Civility By Amor Towles
On the last night of 1937, twenty-five-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society—where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve.With its sparkling depiction of New York’s social strata, its intricate imagery and themes, and its immensely appealing characters, Rules of Civility won the hearts of readers and critics alike.
