📰 News we're reading
1. Coronado challenges county in sewage water testing methods (thecoronadonews.com) — Coronado's mayor is pressing San Diego County and state regulators over DNA-based sewage testing he says may be causing unnecessary beach closures along the city's shoreline. County health officials defend the ddPCR method as EPA-validated and tied to statewide safety thresholds, while Coronado cites its own study suggesting a high false-positive rate and is demanding clearer answers on why older tests were abandoned. 
2. Beginner Machine Piecing and Quilting (coronadotimes.com) — Coronado residents can sign up now for an eight-week beginner quilting class at the John D. Spreckels Center, running Fridays from Sept. 4 to Oct. 23. Participants will learn essential quilting tools, techniques, and pattern reading while creating a simple quilt top, but must bring their own sewing machines and supplies. Fees vary by residency and senior discounts, with multiple instructors on hand for support.
3. Eastlake volleyball players carry on amid older sister's struggles (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Coronado High's Islanders repeated as Gold Division champions at the San Diego Classic, with Stanford-bound hitter Ashlynn Proctor earning back-to-back MVP honors. The win, a straight-set revenge match over Mission Vista, capped a 7–1 tournament run and highlighted a deep all-tournament showing for several Islanders. The feature also profiles an Eastlake family's health struggles that framed the event's emotional backdrop.
4. Posts From The Road: Cabrillo National Monument And Old Point Loma Lighthouse (ladailypost.com) — Visitors to Cabrillo National Monument can take in sweeping views of San Diego Bay with Coronado Island and its naval air station in the foreground. The article walks readers through the history of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo's landing, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, and the trails and museums that make this nearby national monument a worthwhile day trip from Coronado.
