On May 14, police arrested two men selling a variety of bootleg items bearing the official logo "Olimpiada Nacional 2013" (National Olympics 2013) in the city's Cerro Colorado neighborhood at the intersection of Insurgentes and Manuel J. Clouthier boulevards. Among the items for sale, police said, were keychains, backpacks, T-shirts, baby bibs, and pens — all bearing the Olympics logo. Arrested were Víctor Mejía Mendoza, 34, and José Ángel Consuelo González, 35. Between the two of them, police said, the men had 45,655 pesos (about $3700) in earnings from their sales. The Mexican National Olympics began on April 25 and are scheduled to conclude on June 11.— May 21, 2013 2:12 p.m.

What is with these BW photos? Somehow these 4 pix on the Coronado Photos section of this site - apparently by different photogs- are more arresting than the color ones. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/f… http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/d… http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2011/s… http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2009/j…— May 8, 2013 9:43 p.m.

Flower show fall-out. Letters to editor in today's Eagle-Journal show the dark side of Coronado. 1. The inimitable Earle Callahan doesn't like all the kid entries getting awards. Used to be that there were winners and losers. Now only winners. 2. Faye Hammond says the winning homefront at 311 9th St. was not a homefront but a patio. The photo on flower show site confirms Hammond. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/0…— May 8, 2013 9:28 p.m.
Hotel del Coronado
$16 for six glasses pretty good. What's the catch? Pizza cheap, too? I remember paying north of $20 for b&b at the Del, so maybe they suck you in for high prices after 7.— May 4, 2013 12:46 p.m.

Agree with madtown - When walking in the dark on Nado side streets, I always let the cars go first. No way they can see you.— May 4, 2013 12:42 p.m.

**Apple growers - the future of Julian** On the morning of Saturday, April 13, the Julian Apple Growers Association held a planting and grafting workshop on one of the town's oldest apple groves, behind Wynola Flats Produce on Highway 78. Dave Lewis , the orchard's owner and host for the day (and the town's most active historian), gave an introductory talk, saying that in the early 19th century, when Julian won the prize at the Jamestown VA tri-centennial, apples occupied more than 600 acres. Today it is 200 plus acres. So the idea of these workshops is to encourage a renaissance of orchards. The planting part of the class (about 20 locals showed up) was dispatched quickly. You dig a hole deep and wide enough to allow the roots to spread out, then begin filling. Make sure the graft "bump" is a fist-height above ground. The grafting demonstration turned out to be better than I thought. Two kinds of grafts were covered. The inserting of scions (new, pencil-thick growth from desired variety) under the bark of a recently cut branch of an old tree. Lewis showed some of this grafting of Red Delicious scions onto a couple of 100-year-old Macintosh trees on his ancestors' property. One example was a year old and the new branches carried healthy leaves and blossoms. The grafting of scions onto new rootstock seemed to engage everyone. The association supplied sharp knives. We whittled the lower end of the scion down to a thin wedge. We made a slice in the center of the rootstock tip. Then we inserted the wedge into the slice, covered with glue and tape, and presto, an inexpensive sapling ready to plant. Informal conversations between talks and afterwards at the informal barbecue covered the inevitable questions of what varieties should we plant (heirlooms like Spitzenburg, good pollenators like Yellow Delicious, apples historic to Julian like Rome Beauty), what to do about squirrels (Ramic Green, Squirrelinators, wire cones), and how best not to lose money growing apples (U-pick-em, Julian farmers market, cider).— April 18, 2013 8:09 p.m.

**Looking for a village at 47th and Euclid** Enthusiastic Talmadge residents gathered to brainstorm how they envision their community’s future neighborhood-serving business district. Residents have yearned for decades to create a village core similar to that of Kensington, South Park, and University Heights. This is the first step in making their “village” a reality.

**Chicken manure - closer to town than Ramona** After I discovered the $10/pick-up load ranch in Ramona (see [Ramona Holler][1], April 15), friends in La Mesa said they could get pick-up load for $20 in Lakeside - closer to L.M. Hilliker's Egg Ranch, 11329 El Nopal Rd. in Lakeside is their preferred supplier. [1]: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/neighborhoods/…— April 15, 2013 6:59 p.m.
