A NOTE FROM THE GUEST EDITOR CORONADO FOURTH OF JULY

Celebrating the 75th Annual Independence Day Parade in Coronado After I was elected president of Coronado Fourth of July (CFOJ), my husband asked me, “Will seeing ‘how the sausage is made’ ruin your favorite day of the year?” That gave me pause.

I love the 4th of July in Coronado! Now, here we are, and I can tell you what I have experienced is exactly the opposite. In fact, knowing now what I do about how this incredible day comes together and how much it is appreciated, I have never been more excited about the holiday and in love with how our cherished Coronado celebrates Independence Day. What has impressed me most in this role is the work that fellow CFOJ board members Carrie Downey, Bridgette Jorgenson, Robert Kracht, Maggie Hannegan, Judy and Doug Clarke, Dave Szymanski, Jennifer Stein, Andrew Gade, Kathy Summers, Robb Huff, Debbie Balsley and Lori Luhnow, along with numerous contributors and volunteers, do to keep this meaningful tradition alive and triumphant.

The Coronado Fourth of July celebration has grown to be enormously anticipated and well-attended, bringing families and friends together, attracting visitors from far and wide. Our 75th annual parade this year features floats, horses, marching bands, military groups and local organizations, all decked out in patriotic style. The Navy Leap Frogs' thrilling aerial display follows the parade and leads into a concert series at Spreckels Park. The day closes with a fireworks spectacular over Coronado’s Glorietta Bay. And on July 5th, we all take a nap!

Our collaboration with the city of Coronado and many of its departments ensures that every aspect of the day’s long events, from traffic management to security and emergency services, is meticulously planned and executed. The City’s unwavering support is the backbone to our efforts and our partnership this year has proven stronger than ever.

Coronado’s Fourth of July’s activities are funded by sponsors, individual donors, and city and county grants. Our generous sponsors and donors really are the secret sauce behind the scenes. Please thank our sponsors by supporting their businesses.

This year, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the modern Coronado Parade. To honor this milestone, Coronado Fourth of July joined with the Coronado Historical Association (CHA) and called on the community to gather parade memories. Those memories, along with gems uncovered in CHA archives, and new content collected specifically for the project, provided material for a short film produced by local Jane Mitchell. Working on this project was surprisingly a very nostalgic feel-good experience.

As a person who grew up here — what’s up CHS Class of ’80?

— I was beyond moved as we combed through volumes of parade images and footage from years gone by. See what we put together by catching our movie at the Historical Association or Coronado Public library. The city is also showing it on their YouTube channel!

Enjoy this commemorative day in our community and celebrate our military and America with family and friends! Be sure to thank the sponsors and volunteers who help make it possible. Thank our military by saying hello to its dedicated personnel who fight for our freedom every single day.

Your enthusiastic enjoyment of the 4th in Coronado in a sea of red, white and blue is the greatest reward for these efforts. And if that’s how this sausage is made, I’m glad I signed up to be a part of it!

Happy 4th!

Is Your Home one of the 400 Houses in the Historic Context Survey?

By CREA's Board of Directors

CREA’s Mission Statement: CREA promotes business relationships with real estate professionals through networking, education, marketing, community service and events, protecting the interests and rights of Coronado and Imperial Beach Property Owners.

CROWN CITY MAGAZINE

| JJUULY LY 22002244

As

an advocate for property rights, the Coronado Real Estate Association (CREA) learned of the low response to the Historic Statement and Citywide Survey. CREA petitioned the Mayor and Council Members prior to the City Council meeting of June 2 requesting this topic to be postponed to July 16, 2024 as our members and clients are interested, allowing them the time to weigh in. The request was approved.

In recent years, the real estate environment has changed dramatically, especially in regard to limited inventory.

Many homeowners want to be informed of the pros and cons of any changes in law that could affect home ownership.

Besides the initial purchase, they want to avoid being blindsided by issues that may affect their investment or costs associated with upkeep.

The Mills Act is a program that provides a real monetary incentive — lower property taxes — to be an offset of these costs going forward. These tax benefits are received when homeowners with a historically designated property maintain and preserve the structure with integrity to the original design. Should a single step or streamlined approval for the Mills Act be discussed and considered?

This is the question proposed in the Citywide Survey. This is the first time the City of Coronado is looking to make a major change to the historic designation process in years. This is probably the best and only opportunity to make the entire process voluntary and guarantee Mills Act benefits for any home designated historic instead of the current two-step process.

Should all homeowners with homes over 75 years old be required to go through an expensive and time consuming review?

Or should homeowners be allowed to voluntarily submit their home for historic designation and Mills Act benefits?

The Council’s current work provides the community with an opportunity to review the city’s policies and processes regarding

the historic designation to better align with the city's objectives while respecting individual property rights.

Currently, all homeowners that wish to remodel or demolish an existing home 75 years or older must go through an historic review. This is an expensive and time consuming process that taxpayers currently pay for. The process also creates uncertainty for homeowners as the determination for whether a home is historic is very subjective.

Today, if a home is designated historic, it is not automatically provided Mills Act benefits. Why not? This two-step process for historic designation and Mills Act application creates delays and reduces the incentive to voluntarily designate one’s home as historic.

If the council made the historic designation process voluntary, it would save approximately $100K to $200K per year. Perhaps some of this funding could be used to increase the incentive to maintain historically designated homes by providing a greater tax savings?

The council has an historic opportunity to improve the current policies in a way that provides greater incentives for historic designation and greater respect for property rights.

You can learn more about the survey on The Coronado Times website by typing this address in your internet browser: https:// coronadotimes.com/news/2023/09/15/ why-is-the-city-of-coronado-preparing-ahistoric-survey-and-context-statement/ CREA’s goal of this article is to reach homeowners, encouraging them to participate in any planned action by our City Government.

Please plan to attend the City Council Meeting where this will be discussed at 4pm on July 18 at Coronado City Hall.

Preserving the Past

The Revival of Historic Homes on Coronado Island

N

estled amid the charm and allure of Coronado Island lies a treasure trove of historic homes. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in preserving and renovating these architectural gems. As a contractor we are able to help breathe new life into the island's heritage by re-telling the story of these historic homes. One of the challenges of remodeling historic homes is striking a balance between preservation

CROWN CITY MAGAZINE

| J U LY 2 0 2 4

and functionality. Many home owners work closely with preservationists and architects to ensure that any alterations maintain the integrity of the original design. This delicate dance between past and present is what makes Coronado’s historic remodels truly special.

Remodeling a historic home is a delicate process that requires a good understanding of the property’s historical significance and the modern building practices. As a contractor we are able to assist you in making the process enjoyable and help you navigate through this journey of becoming a historic home owner.

Your home qualifies as a historic home!

What’s the next step?

Historic homes often have unique features and construction methods that require specialized knowledge to preserve.

It is important to define a scope of work that respects the home’s historical

Do you have a historic home?

The first place to start is seeing if your home checks off the boxes for what makes a home "historic," according to the Coronado Designation Guidelines.

A building, structure, object, or site may be designated as a Historic Resource by the Historic Resource Commission in the following cases: If it is at least 75 years old (or has achieved historic significance within the past 75 years) and meets two or more of the following designation criteria: A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City's military, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, or engineering history.

B. It is identified with a person(s) or an event(s) significant in local, State or national history; C. It possesses distinctive characteristics of an architectural style, and has not been substantially altered; D. It is representative of the notable work of a builder, designer, architect, artisan or landscape professional.

integrity while meeting your renovation goals. Working alongside a contractor with a good team can help this process be rewarding and unique. Researching the home's history together, including the architectural style, original materials,

and any preservation guidelines or restrictions is important. A skilled contractor will have a team of experienced craftsmen who can help replicate the intricate architectural elements or restore original features.

The City of Coronado has a designated historic planner that can be reached if you need help. For questions or additional assistance with completing applications, please contact Associate Planner and staff liaison for the Historic Resource Commission, Tricia Olsen, at tolsen@coronado.ca.us.

Things to remember: Having a home designated historic by the City of Coronado is different from the Mills Act. You will need to apply separately for the Mills Act in order to decrease your tax base.

Be patient during this home project, as it takes a lot to preserve historical integrity while incorporating modern amenities and cooperating with city regulations.

Ultimately, remodeling a historic home in Coronado is a labor of love. It is a testament to the island’s commitment to preserving its heritage for future generations to enjoy. For those fortunate enough to call one of these homes their own, it’s a daily reminder of the timeless beauty and charm of Coronado.

hat would July 4th be without a parade? We are indeed a very patriotic town with so many close ties to the military. Coronado’s first parade dates back to 1888, two years before we actually became a city, and it was started by local women. The parade has endured through thick and thin, good times and bad — thanks to the Coronado Fourth of July, a local organization whose volunteer members organize and fund the parade on Independence Day.

We welcome visitors to not only enjoy the parade but also to view the sky diving and attend the afternoon concert in the park. Many will even stay for the evening fireworks — a full day, sometimes looking forward to the day after to recover.

Let us look back now to the post-war era, World War II that is, around the time of 1945. What would Coronado have looked like? No bridge, just the ferry. That certainly cut down on the traffic.

Yes, people came for the parade, but not like ours today. They came to spend the day at the beach with family and friends, as well. Some came with surfboards and picnic baskets. By then, surfing had taken hold, and we had the good beaches all the way to Imperial Beach.

And can you imagine at that time: going to the beach without sunscreen? What then? Baby oil and iodine. Thank goodness for what we have learned. No boogie boards or snorkel gear yet. Fortunately, Mom could tell them to go look for shells or play ball. All this happening without a cell phone. What a 4th of July that must have been!

Looking back through Coronado history, it was apparent that many holiday events took place at the Hotel del Coronado. They had fireworks, although it might have been little more than sparklers.

Enjoying the beach on the 4th of July or any other summer day has always been one of our best experiences. The view out over the ocean to the islands cannot be forgotten, nor can the parade floats along Orange Avenue or the spectacular fireworks over the bay. So all in all, there are many reasons that Coronado is known throughout the world for our Independence Day celebration.

What a town we live in. History galore of people and events. Here is another one to enjoy. Have a great 4th of July, and stay safe!

• Carol Pastor and her family have lived in Coronado since the mid-1970s. Mother of seven girls, many of whom still live here in the village, Carol has been involved in the community over the years with the Friends of the Library, Historic Resource Commission, and most recently writing about Coronado history for the Coronado Historical Association. An avid history buff since her college days, exploring our local history is a perfect fit.

July Hosting

n our town, the 4th of July isn’t just a holiday but a cherished tradition that brings the entire community together. From the early morning parade set up, to the fireworks that light up the night sky, every moment is filled with joy, patriotism and being with family and friends.

Here is how we love to celebrate…

The excitement begins early in the morning as families gather along Orange Ave to claim their spots for the parade. Our favorite tradition is our spread of delicious food and here is what’s on the menu.

1. Lox, Bagels + Cream Cheese Board You can accessorize the board with thinly sliced onions, capers, fresh dill and lemon wedges.

2. Croissants Flaky, buttery croissants hit the spot with both kids and adults — sometimes we even make ham and cheese sandwiches out of them.

3. Fresh Fruit Bowls of fresh, vibrant fruit like strawberries, blueberries and blackberries are not only delicious, but also fit in with the festive color scheme.

4. Dessert Spread We love to bake cupcakes with the kids the day before and have them decorate with red, white and blue sprinkles, American flag toppers and stars.

This setup not only provides a delicious start to the holiday, but is also the perfect way to enjoy the parade. As we gather under the fireworks at the end of the day, we’re reminded of the importance of family, friends and the freedom we cherish.

My earliest memory of corn is shucking ears with my brother on a Central Park Bench.

Oddly enough, we were not in New York City but at our family home on the Rappahannock River in Tappahannock, Virginia. How said bench got to the “Rivah” is a bit of a mystery; all we know is that it arrived sometime in the 1920s. While stationed at the Pentagon in DC, Dad would take us to his family's summer home about three hours south of the District.

When my brother Michael and I were young, a trip to the river was magical. This house holds precious memories for so many in my extended family. No shirts, no shoes, no problem — just countless hours on the water having fun being a kid.

The sacred ritual my brother and I eagerly performed was to walk a mile up the dirt access road to a neighbor's cornfield. We would fill a bag with enough corn to feed the clan, then sit on that mystery bench and shuck corn against an iconic backdrop straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. The next task was to run to the end of our pier to pull up the crab traps; an epic lunch was about to unfold. The old, weathered picnic table was ceremoniously covered in yesterday's newspaper and scattered with picks and crackers for the crabs. There were glasses of bourbon and a cooler full of cold beer within reach.

As a kid, the crabs felt like a lot of work for little return. The adults would out-crack and pick you three to one. My money was on the corn: crunchy, sweet, slathered in butter, and dusted with salt and freshly ground pepper.

what was always an epic meal. On one such trip, we passed a roadside stand; she brought the car to a screeching halt. As she backed up to the stand, Lee was grinning from ear to ear, pun intended. She turned to me and said, “Clyde, the menu has changed. We are having corn for dinner!” She meant what she said; the only thing on the night's menu was sweet Jersey corn. There we all sat, the five of us around the dining room table, staring at a platter of at least twenty ears of corn.

Each of our plates had its stick of butter on it; you were encouraged to roll your corn on your stick of butter for optimal coverage.

The first bite was ethereal, sweet, fresh and unbelievably crunchy; it was like tasting corn for the first time.

That was the last summer I had with Kristen, Lee and her husband, Mike. I am eternally grateful for Lee; she sparked my passion for hospitality and taught me to focus on ingredients. She always sought the best of everything and had a blast doing it. She taught me that the journey is as fun and vital as the destination. I have more memories of shopping with her than the meals we enjoyed.

Thanks, Lee, you forever changed the way I cook.

For my final memory of this vegetable, our hero returns home to the West Coast and falls back in love with Elote, Mexican street corn.

I have fond memories from my salad days of cross-border shenanigans and that delicious street food that helped sop up some of the 'go juice,' a term we used to refer to the alcoholic beverages we knocked back while

My next significant corn memory occurred while I was in college on a trip to Rumson, New Jersey. Yes, Jersey, the Garden State!

Just off the Turnpike, you can find the best ears of corn and the very best tomatoes I have ever eaten.

I met my college girlfriend Kristen at school in Rhode Island. She was and is a true Bruce Springsteen-loving Jersey girl, and I loved spending time with her and her family in the summer.

Her mother, Lee, was a mentor of mine.

She loved cooking and making meals for her family. Lee and I would spend hours shopping at various vendors around town, preparing for CROWNCITYMAGAZINE.COM

that populate the cob; these charred nuggets counteract the sweet kernels. The whole cob receives a kiss of smoke from the grill. While you could consider me a purist when it comes to corn, you would be wrong. This doctoredup corn is special for me and many others growing up in the American Southwest.

Mexican corn and Baja Rock Lobsters, a specific type of lobster found in the Baja California region, pale compared to their counterparts on the East Coast, but never fear. When life gives you average lobsters with no claws, you fry them in pork lard and make burritos out of them. Local corn lacks flavor; just slather it in creamy goodness and toss on some spice. Problem solved! Where there's a will, there's a way.

I hope you get your fill of corn this July. The real California corn season starts June 25th and runs through September 30th. I will leave you with some tips on grilling a great ear and a recipe for Elote.

Grilling Corn Pro Tip: in TJ. You don't have to be a professionally trained chef to make this corn at home. Even though the corn in Jersey is better than the stuff in California, I still wait all year for the season to arrive.

With most vegetables available year-round, how do you know when corn is in season?

You will know when it is at its peak when the large bins of corn start popping up at your local markets with the obligatory garbage can nearby so you can peel back and discard the husks to inspect your haul.

My story would not be complete without confessing to my love of this traditional Mexican dish. Elote consists of grilled corn slathered with a mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise, then dusted with cotija cheese and Tajin, accompanied by a good squeeze of lime. The combination is next-level good.

Pro Tip: Wash this down with a cold Mexican lager. Wow, I need a moment! Few things get me going like street corn and beer.

Grilling activates the Maillard effect, a chemical reaction that occurs when proteins and sugars in food are heated, resulting in the caramelization of sugars seen in the burnt bits 32

There are many ways to grill corn, but the method I find to produce the best flavor is to leave the husk on. First, peel back the husks, but leave them attached to the corn's stem.

Then, clean the corn by removing all its silk.

Pull the husk back over the ear of corn. Once you have done this, submerge the corn in water for several hours. I use a bucket. You may have to weigh the corn down, which will try to float to the surface. Once the corn is soaked, you can place the ears on the grill, husk and all. The husk helps protect the corn from drying out, and the caring husks add a smoky flavor to the corn during the process.

If you want some char, peel back the husks towards the end of the grilling process.

An alternate method is to butter the corn and season it before grilling. Then, you pull the husks back in place, wrap the whole cob in foil with the husk, and place this foil package on the grill.

Mexican Street Corn Baja Style Clyde Van Arsdall

Ingredients • Fresh sweet corn • Mayonnaise and crema or sour cream (I like 50% Mayo, 50% Crema, or Sour Cream) • Fresh lime juice • Chili powder or ancho chili powder (I like to use Tajin) • Cotija cheese • Cilantro

Method: • Grill corn. If grilling in the husk, peel back the husk towards the end of the grilling to get some char.

• Mix mayo, crema, or sour cream and brush on corn while still warm from the grill.

• Sprinkle the corn with cotija, chili powder and cilantro.

• Squeeze lime over the top and serve.

Note: I'm not a fan of corn on the cob. If you don't want to eat it off the cob, cut the kernels off and combine them with these ingredients. Eating corn off the cob for as long as your dental work will allow is one of life's great pleasures.

SOUND WAVES CORONADO COMMUNITY BAND

Melodic March Commissioned to Honor the Crown City

Debuts July 4th, 4pm Spreckels Park Pavilion

By Kathleen McCabe

T

he Coronado Community Bands, which include the Coronado Concert Band (CCB) and The Coronado Big Band (CBB), were founded in 1997. As the 25th anniversary approached, commissioning a piece of music to celebrate this milestone was discussed.

A composer was identified, and the process began.

42

CROWN CITY MAGAZINE

| J U LY 2 0 2 4

Questions with Fred Lee, conductor for Coronado Concert Band Why did you choose a march for our commission?

I wanted this work to be a celebration, both for the band’s 25th anniversary, as well as for the City of Coronado. Historically speaking, marches have been composed to commemorate important civic events, places and occasions. Marches make up a significant portion of the wind band repertoire and are part of almost every band concert. They are equally appropriate for both indoor and outdoor settings and are always well received by an audience. I wanted to commission a work that the CCB could perform often, as well as other bands beyond the Coronado community.

How did you choose Ryan Beard to compose this commission?

First and foremost, I wanted the composer of this commission to be a native of San Diego. I have known and worked with Ryan professionally in various ensembles over the years. He is widely known in the San Diego music community as a French horn player, conductor and composer/ arranger. He has strong ties with the San Diego Symphony, La Jolla Symphony and many other professional and community ensembles throughout the county. I have performed and recorded many of his works and consider him a friend.

What guidance and parameters did you provide him with for this work?

I wanted a concert march that would be endearing, with memorable melodies that would resonate with our Coronado audiences. I was particularly interested in the music being reflective of the naval history of the island. I suggested he use the Navy Hymn as a basis for the trio of the march. Instead, Ryan creatively incorporated harmonies from the hymn as a foundation for his uplifting, original melody. He then surprised me by adding lyrics for audience participation! This was a very nice touch I did not expect.

Questions for Ryan Beard, Composer How did this commission come to you?

Fred Lee, the conductor of the Coronado Concert Band, contacted me in June of 2023 and asked me if I would be interested in composing something for the band to commemorate its 25th anniversary. I was initially hesitant because I had never written a march before, but I was honored to be asked and I gladly accepted.

How did you know where to begin?

In our early conversations about the piece, Fred told me he wanted a concert march suitable for

indoor and outdoor performances. He asked for something along the lines of the great concert marches in the British tradition, like “Crown Imperial” by William Walton, or the final movement of Gustav Holst’s “First Suite in E-flat for Military Band.” Fred continued to name piece after piece that I love, by composer after CROWNCITYMAGAZINE.COM

composer whom I admire. He finally concluded with, “You know, something simple!”

From a composer’s perspective, none of those pieces are simple, so this project was rather intimidating at first. Another request was that the march honor Coronado’s historical connections with the US Navy. The band’s board of directors chose the title of Crown City March, which I think is very poetic.

With these stipulations in mind, I set to work composing this march. The mention of “Crown Imperial” immediately brought to mind the syncopated rhythm of its opening theme. Rather than try to fight it, I decided to incorporate this non-standard march feature.

Does the music tell a story, paint a picture, or take the listener on a journey?

The introduction (on one note) alludes to a wave crashing on the picturesque beaches of Coronado. It starts quietly with just a few players, like how a wave starts off far from shore. Soon each player enters creating an increase in volume and intensity as the wave moves closer. The cymbals and drums punctuate the figurative wave's arrival with a literal crash.

The melody of the first strain harkens back to the late 1880s when the famous Hotel Del Coronado, the city’s architectural icon, was constructed. It's close in style to the songs of the Tin Pan Alley publishing era, and I could imagine couples in love walking along the beach whistling a jaunty tune.

The second strain is a little more rambunctious and it starts with the whole band playing the opening measures of the melody in unison. I decided to include this bandin-unison element because my father would often belt out the second strain melody from “National Emblem” by E. E. Bagley at the top of his lungs! My father wasn't a musician, but he loved music, and he served in the Navy. As a nod to him and to Coronado’s relationship with the US Navy, this portion of the march includes allusions to “Anchors Aweigh,” the Navy’s official march.

44

CROWN CITY MAGAZINE

| J U LY 2 0 2 4

The trio melody was the first portion of the march that I composed. Fred requested that the sound of the low clarinets and horns should be featured since that is one of his favorite timbres that bands can create. Accompanied by gently pulsing low winds, the melody rises and falls like the tide.

How did you conclude the march?

I knew I wanted the march to end with a rousing restatement of the trio melody, but I wasn’t sure how to get there. After several failed attempts at something “clever,” I decided to rely on traditional march forms and include a “dogfight” section.

A dogfight, or a break strain, is a device used to introduce a contrast in style and break the flow of the composition with a loud and intense musical interlude. It pits the instrumental groups of the band against each other, playing short musical phrases. I used the harmonic richness of the “Navy Hymn” in this section to modulate for the final restatement of the theme.

What can you tell us about the lyrics to the piece?

I've never written official lyrics to any of my compositions. I've made up fake lyrics with nonsense words and syllables before, mostly as place holders or as an aid to get the phrasing and musical contours that I wanted (kind of like how “scrambled eggs” were Paul McCartney's original lyrics before he completed “Yesterday”).

With Crown City March, I thought that having lyrics to sing might be fun for the audience at the performances. I put that idea on the back burner, though, because I still needed to finish the music itself! At the beginning of May, Fred was kind enough to give me some time with the band to read through the first draft of the march. After the rehearsal, a member of the band suggested that someone should write lyrics to the trio. Well, I never mentioned the “fake” lyrics at all to the band members, so this coincidental request spurred me on to actually finish writing them seriously.

I didn't want to make a "Surfin' U.S.A." recitation of locales, but the lyrics are inspired by the natural beauty and landmarks of Coronado and the surrounding areas. I can't wait to hear the audience belt out the final line at the performance!

The Coronado Concert Band will debut the Crown City March © on JULY 4th, in Spreckels Park, Coronado, at 4pm. It is dedicated to our wonderful Coronado Community. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the music, sing, and celebrate.

Crown City that we love, Where sunset meets The Strand, Crown City we adore the Bay breeze ’cross the land.

Work and play ’til the day’s done, Bridging hearts to make us one.

O, Crown City’s where we’ll go, We love you, Coronado!

LITERARY ARTS GEORGE GALDORISI

Local Author’s NEW Book Algorithms of Armageddon By the Crown City Magazine Team

S

ome time ago, the Crown City Magazine team interviewed retired U.S. Navy Captain George Galdorisi about his book, Fire and Ice. This month, we spoke with him about artificial intelligence, the technology that is the subject of his most recent book, Algorithms of Armageddon: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Future Wars, published by the U.S. Naval Institute Press and released this spring.

To say that artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that has dominated the news over the past several years is an understatement. Unfortunately, there are a few issues today where there is more heat than light. Galdorisi explained that the subject of artificial intelligence has triggered not only intense interest, but also (often shrill) opinions from voices pro and con regarding what AI might do in our society, let alone how it might change warfare as we know it.

We wanted to follow up with him regarding how and why what is happening in the AI-realm has evolved so rapidly over the past few years, so we asked George this basic question: Could anyone have predicted some of the headline-grabbing events surrounding AI that have occurred in just the past few months?

He noted that “A1 technology has dominated the media over the last year in ways that few could have envisioned. We have seen the controversy regarding generative AI such as ChatGPT, Bard, and Bing, and especially their promise and their peril. Additionally, we have seen some calls for a complete pause in AI development.”

He went on to explain, “This frenzy to ‘rein in’ AI has reached a fever pitch with many influencers calling for a brake on AI development. Geoffrey Hinton, widely recognized as the ‘Godfather of AI,’ quit his job at Google to ‘freely speak out about the risks of AI.’ Among other statements, Hinton said: ‘AI technologies pose profound risks to society and humanity.’”

platforms, warning that artificial intelligence could have catastrophic effects on humanity. Perhaps most dramatically, Musk has stated, ‘With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon.’”

Galdorisi added: “Perhaps no tech leader has been more vocal regarding the dangers of AI than Elon Musk, who opines across multiple media

Galdorisi stressed that “Hinton and Musk are not the only tech leaders urging caution in developing AI. In an interview, Sundar Pixhai, Google’s CEO,

expressed worry about the state of the AI race, noting that an open letter signed by nearly 200 technology leaders and researchers that urged companies to pause development of powerful AI systems for at least six months to prevent profound risks to society, ‘was a cautionary message and deserved to be out there.’ Later in the interview, Pixhai declared, ‘We are working with a technology that has the potential to cause harm in a deep way.’”

Responding to these concerns, our national leaders have weighed in. A New York Times article noted that the Biden administration “is confronting the rapidly expanding use of artificial intelligence, warning of the dangers the technology poses to public safety, privacy and democracy while having limited authority to regulate it.”

Galdorisi noted, “Unsurprisingly, the fears that AI will usher in dystopian scenarios has once again made its way into popular culture, with the 2023 streaming series, Mrs. Davis, whose high concept revolves around a future society where humans outsource their brain work to machines and calamity ensues. Reviewers called the series ‘intriguing’ and noted that they were ‘hooked.’ This exemplifies the depth of the fears of AI.” Against this backdrop of concerns regarding AI in the civilian sector, we asked George how this controversy translates into the military realm. He answered, “That’s a great question. When it comes to the issue of inserting AI into military platforms, systems, sensors and weapons the arguments pro and con regarding AI go into overdrive. While some are of the opinion that the United States must win the AI arms race with our peer competitors, China and Russia, others make the argument that the U.S. military will lose control of its AI-enabled tools and that disaster will ensue.”

He went on to add: “Fortunately, senior leaders in the Department of Defense have been proactive in reminding the American public of the existential threat peer competitors with AI-enabled military forces pose if the U.S. military cannot counter them with similar platforms, systems, sensors and weapons. In an address at the Reagan National Defense Forum, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that: ‘DoD wants to successfully lead the AI Revolution.’ Deputy Secretary of Defense, Dr. Kathleen Hicks, emphasized the importance of AI technologies for the U.S. military to: ‘Provide operational commanders with data-driven technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation.’”

Going further, Galdorisi noted: “A front-page article in The New York Times quoted the Pentagon’s chief information officer, John Sherman, regarding the national security imperative to continue AI

development, with Sherman stating: ‘If we stop, guess who’s not going to stop: potential adversaries overseas.

We’ve got to keep moving. The Chinese won’t wait, and neither will the Russians.’”

Given the wide spectrum of arguments regarding the U.S. military employing AI-enabled weapons, we asked George if he thought that there are things that all of us, as citizens, should do.

“Yes I do,” he concluded. “America needs a national dialogue to determine the risks and rewards of AIdevelopment, and a large part of that discussion should be focused on the need for the U.S. military to have access to the latest AI-enabled technology to provide for the security and prosperity of the American people. An informed and engaged public can be a powerful tool to ensure that this occurs.”

George reminded us that in addition to writing books, he likes nothing more than connecting with readers. You can follow him on Facebook and Twitter, and learn more about his books, blogs and other writing on his website: georgegaldorisi.com.

ur dreamy Coronado summer is here and it’s far from over.

This month we celebrate Independence Day and savor the long summer evenings as the sun lingers over our beautiful ocean.

Try one or more of these three ways to bring the joys of summer right into your home.

CROWNCITYMAGAZINE.COM

53

1

BRING ON THE GREEN

Not many things denote summer more than life in the color green. Keep it easy by bringing in some fresh stems of your favorite palm, a tree branch, a new plant or even a large tree. It can be a statement maker with a broad leaf, or give off a whimsical look with a wispy, airy branch.

If you can, make it big. Anything that’s gracious in size goes a long way — even in a small space.

Incorporating something living in your home makes such a difference in the fresh feel of your space.

2

ENTERTAIN BEAUTIFULLY

Long, slow summer days mean more time spent dining and entertaining al fresco. Invest in some beautiful outdoor drink and dinnerware. There are some great products available made of melamine and acrylics that are shatter resistant, machine washable and kid friendly — all while looking beautiful!

Don’t compromise a perfect evening with a slew of red cups and paper plates.

Make the simple moments special.

WELCOME COLOR

Bring in some color splashes to pair with your fresh new greens. We’ve lived so many years in a colorless design world. The absence of color has created a strong craving for more saturation — not only in our fashion, but we’re also seeing strong hues pulled back into the home. Not sure what your color is? Look in your closet — what color do you feel best in? You don’t have to commit in a big way. A new set of pillows, a piece of art, or even painting your front door in a bold hue will do just the trick!
