Alvarez, Faulconerspar in the run-up to run-off election

EDITOR’S NOTE: In this final sprint to the political finish line to deter-mine our city’s next mayor at the ballot box on Tuesday, Feb. 11, the SanDiego Community Newspaper Group presented five uniform questions toboth candidates to better educate readers and the voting public on issues

of importance to our beach communities. We hope the answers providedby the candidates — City Councilman David Alvarez and City Councilman Kevin Faulconer — willbe of value in helping you make a more informed vote when you head to the polls Feb. 11.

Q: With the City Council’s renewedemphasis on neighborhood enhance-ment/improvement programs and long-needed updates to decades-old communityplans, what is your specific vision for SanDiego’s beach communities?

A: Our beach communities have spe-cific needs that have been ignored by pastcity leadership. As mayor, I will ensure wehave clean beachesand water. I havepushed hard toimplement a planthat utilizes waterpurification technol-ogy that will helpreduce the outflow ofwastewater into theocean. Additional-ly, I feel stronglyabout the importance of beach safety andhave prioritized restoring funding to life-guard services in the city budget. As such,I am proud to be endorsed by the SanDiego Lifeguard Association, which safe-guards our beaches for the thousands offamilies that use our beaches every year.

Q: Describe in detail what sets you apartfrom your political opponent and how youwill captain San Diego’s economic and po-litical future to promote the city and com-pete with the interests of neighboring coun-ties and cities fighting for the same piece ofCalifornia’s funding pie.

Mammoth Midway postal facility back on sales block

The ultimate fate of the largely-abandoned Midway Post Office is stillin limbo, although the gigantic andonce-vital postal facility on MidwayDrive is back on the sales block.

The United States Postal Service(USPS) is still in the process of divest-ing itself of the 464,000-square-foot,three-story former United StatesPostal Service Processing and Distri-bution Center at 2535 Midway Drivein Loma Portal, said Ken Boyd, USPSfacilities and customer relations man-ager.

“It’s listed for sale for a period clos-ing sometime in February,” said Boyd.

The massive 464,000-square-foot former Midway Postal Service Processing and Dis-tribution Center on Midway Drive is again up for sale after a failed attempt to sell theproperty in 2010 to help buoy the U.S. Postal Service’s flagging budget.

Peninsula planners nixed a map waiv-er to convert four apartment units underconstruction into condos and approvedflashing crosswalks near Silver Gate Ele-mentary School, as well as hearing acomprehensive report from the Unified

Port of San Diego updating its long-rangevision.

Those were the highlights of thePeninsula Community Planning Board’s(PCPB) Jan. 16 meeting.

Claude-Anthony Marengo, represent-

ing developers American Coastal Prop-erties, gave a presentation on a projectunder way at 3102-3104 Avenida DePortugal and 1120-1122 Locust St.requesting planners’ approval of a mapwaiver to allow a change of building type.

Marengo said the project is merely “fol-lowing the regulations to meet the (build-ing) code.”

Roseville neighbor Gale Barlow, wholives near the project, said she opposedthe map waiver.

“Anyone can fudge,” she said, givenless stringent height regulations for apart-ment-to-condo conversions. “We havemany condos [already] in Point Loma.We don’t need any more.”

Barlow said if one were to drive aroundthe neighborhood, “there’s nothing that

looks like this.”Another neighbor complained that

allowing this apartment-to-condo con-version would “open up the floodgates” toother similar development projects“obstructing view corridors.”

“This project is a fait accompli,” saidplanner Norm Allenby. “They’re alreadybuilding it. I don’t think there’s anythingwe can do.”

Other planners were not so sure.“We can vote in opposition,” disagreed

planner Jarvis Ross, who said laws favor-ing condo conversions in areas not con-ducive to them “need to be addressed.”

PCPB chairwoman Julia Quinn alsoexpressed reservations.

“It’s kind of like a Taj Mahal in the mid-dle of Roseville,” said Quinn.

The PCPB board voted 11-1 for a motionfinding the conversion project didn’t con-form with community character. A sec-ond motion specifically on the map waiv-er — which required a majority vote tocarry — resulted in a 5-5-2 vote. Theaction fell short to pass the waiver.

In other action, the advisory groupvoted unanimously in favor of amotion to support placing flashingcrosswalk lights at the corner ofCatalina Boulevard and OrchardAvenue for traffic-calming measuresto protect pedestrians.

“Parents at Silver Gate ElementarySchool have asked the city to come outwith many different options and this isthe option that’s best with a push-but-ton [system] activating the light,” said

Rosecrans St. The San Diego County Regional AirportAuthority (SDCRAA) will host a Town Hallmeeting in Point Loma on Tuesday, Feb. 11 to receive public input on its north-side development plans to maximize theefficiency of the 661-acre airport.

The public meeting will take place from6 to 7:30 p.m. at the McMillin CompaniesEvent Center at Liberty Station, located at2875 Dewey Road.

The proposed projects involved in thenorth-side redevelopment include:

• A rental-car center housing a numberof rental-car companies in a single build-ing, including national brands, as well aslocal, independent and small-businessrental-car companies. The new center isexpected to dramatically reduce the num-ber of shuttle buses circulating around theairport.

• A new fixed-base operator complexto create a larger, more environmentallyfriendly facility to provide hangars, fuel-ing and other services for general-aviationaircraft.

• Roadway improvements involving sev-

eral projects that will improve traffic andaccess to the north side of the airport.

A receiving and distribution cen-ter, which is a 21,000-square-foot centraldelivery location for food, beverage, retailand other goods, was completed in Novem-ber 2012.

Obeceans, how much do you careabout your community? Enough to runfor office?

If so, get out your clipboards, sharpenyour pencils and start knocking on doors.It’s election time, and seven positions areavailable for qualified candidates to serveon the Ocean Beach Planning Board(OBPB).

Citizens who want to make OceanBeach a better place by vetting develop-ment projects and examining otherneighborhood issues have until Feb. 5 toqualify for next month’s ballot.

Those who miss that deadline haveuntil March 10 to qualify as a write-incandidate.

To run, applicants must be at least 18and live, own property or run a businessin the Ocean Beach planning area. Thisarea is divided into seven districts.

Candidates must gather 35 signaturesin the district of their residence, businessor property. The boundaries of the plan-ning area and its seven districts can beviewed at oceanbeachplanning.org.

Hopefuls must also have attended atleast one meeting between February2013 and January 2014.

The OBPB is one of more than 40community planning boards across thecity sanctioned by the City Council tomake recommendations on land use andother community matters.

Gaining office carries its weight ofresponsibilities and commitments. But

for those citizens willing to serve theircommunity, claiming a board seat maybe an easier goal to achieve than youmight think. Recent board membershave been elected with little more than ahandful of votes.

The requirement to gather signaturesis rare among planning boards, but it’s agreat way to gauge the pulse of theneighborhood, said Peter Ruscitti, vicechairman of the OB Planning Board.

“Gathering 35 signatures is an impor-tant requirement that provides candi-dates with an opportunity to get familiarwith their districts and talk to their neigh-bors about issues that matter to them,”Ruscitti said in an email.

March 5 at 6 p.m. at the Ocean BeachRecreation Center, 4726 Santa MonicaAve. Balloting is March 11 from 4 to 7p.m. at the same location. Identificationand proof of residence is required. Votersmay preregister and mail in ballots.

Attorneys for four medical-marijua-na dispensaries — including one inPoint Loma and another in the Mid-way District — were denied a legalappeal this month by a three-judgeappellate-court panel, which ruled thefederal government can continueenforcement effort to ensure Califor-nia medical marijuana dispensariescomply with state law.

The unpublished decision by the 9thU.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panelcame in response to a lawsuit filed bythe dispensaries and one patient.

Parallel lawsuits have also been filedin Sacramento and the Bay Area.

The attorneys for the plaintiffs filedthe appeal in the appellate court, argu-ing that federal raids violated the con-stitutional rights of dispensaries andpatients.

The court cited a prior 2007 rulingin rejecting the argument.

One of the attorneys representingthe dispensary interests is cited in pub-lished reports as saying a petition willbe filed soon, asking for the appeal to beheard by a full 11-judge panel at the9th Circuit.

The battleground over medical mar-ijuana and states’ rights versus federallaw has been a source of bitter debatesince 1996, when 56 percent of Cali-fornia’s voters gave the thumbs-up tothe Compassionate Use Act.

Despite approval by state voters, thefederal government maintains that

marijuana remains illegal under U.S.law. Today, voters in roughly half ofthe nation’s states have now given thenod to the sale and use of medical mar-ijuana.

To add fuel to the bitter debate, amajority of voters in Colorado andWashington have also gone to the bal-lot box to legalize marijuana for recre-ational use.

Among the dispensaries pursuingthe lawsuit are Cloud 9 Cooperative inPoint Loma and Light the Way in theMidway District, which were bothforced to close their doors after the U.S.Attorney’s Office dispatched letters todispensaries in San Diego County — aswell as to their landlords — orderingthe businesses to shut down or face for-feiture and criminal prosecution.

Unmanned drone downednear Point Loma coast

An unmanned Predator B drone wasintentionally brought down off the coastof Point Loma on Jan. 27 by an air andmarine flight crew with U.S. Customs andBorder Protection (CBP).

The intentional downing happened atabout 11:15 p.m. when the maritimevariant of the Predator B experienced amechanical failure. The crew determinedthat the aircraft would be unable toreturn to where it originated in SierraVista, Ariz., and put the aircraft down inthe water, said CBP officials.

The cause of the failure is unknown. There were no injuries as a result of

the downing, but the CBP grounded itsfleet of unmanned drones out of caution,pending an investigation.

The National Transportation SafetyBoard and the Federal Aviation Adminis-tration have been notified and localboaters were warned to watch out forpossible floating debris in the ocean.

Judge rejects jury fieldtrip to alleged rape scene

Deputy District Attorney ElizabethMcClutchey told San Diego SuperiorCourt Judge Louis Hanoian this monthshe wanted jurors in defendant MichaelTesfa’s rape trial to see for themselves the“extremely dangerous and extremelydark area” behind a closed restaurantwhere he allegedly raped a woman.

Hanoian told the prosecutor that pho-tos and a videotape of the scene couldconvey the area to jurors without themphysically visiting the scene behindPerry’s Café on Pacific Highway nearRosecrans Street. There is an alcove of

stone behind the restaurant that is like asmall enclosed patio. The victim said shewas dragged there and allegedly raped byTesfa on March 18.

Tesfa — who is acting as his own attor-ney — also opposed the jury’s visit duringpretrial motions Jan. 24. Hanoian grant-ed Tesfa’s motion Dec. 18 to act as hisown lawyer after warning him about thedangers of self-representation.

Jury selection began Jan. 27 in the trialof Tesfa, 22, who is accused of kidnap-ping and raping the 30-year-old La Jollawoman. The victim said she had someconversation with Tesfa before he unex-pectedly punched her repeatedly with hisfist and dragged her over to the remotearea around 7 p.m.

The victim said she redressed herselfwith clothes she found at the scene afterTesfa ran off with her clothes and cellphone. She called 911 after entering aRosecrans Street liquor store.

Tesfa has pleaded not guilty and is alsocharged with robbery and false impris-onment. He remains in jail without bail.

Suspect in slow-speedchase in OB set for trial

A judge set a Feb. 21 trial date for asuspected auto thief who led police offi-cers on a low-speed chase through OceanBeach streets on Dec. 13, attracting plen-ty of attention from bystanders.

Neil Alan Blount, 33, pleaded notguilty to charges of evading officers withreckless driving, auto theft and receivinga stolen vehicle during a Jan. 2 prelimi-nary hearing.

A detective and another officer testi-fied about the 20-minute chase and amap of Ocean Beach was entered intoevidence. The incident started whenBlount allegedly stole a 1999 blackHonda, according to court records.

An officer spotted the stolen car beingdriven on West Point Loma Boulevardand radioed it in to confirm it was stolen.The officer followed, but Blount refused topull over near Abbott Street.

By the time the car reached SunsetCliffs Boulevard, five patrol cars were fol-lowing it, though the pursuit speeds aver-aged about 30 mph. Spike strips wereplaced in front of the Honda at the cornerof Abbott Street and Saratoga Avenue,where they punctured two left tires.

Blount continued to drive, but heturned westbound in the 5100 block ofNarragansett Avenue, which ends nearthe ocean. Officers arrested him at gun-point. Blount has two prior convictionsfor burglary in 2010 and 2011, accord-ing to records. He remains in custody on$50,000 bail.

Test to determine prisonor probation for robber

A judge on Jan. 24 ordered an OceanBeach bank robber to complete a 90-daydiagnostic study in a state prison, whereofficials can make a recommendation tothe court as to whether the man shouldget prison time or if he is more suited toprobation.

Douglas Michael Ellens, 39, and hismother, Debra Ellens, told San DiegoSuperior Court Judge Leo Valentine, Jr.that he has hit “rock bottom in jail” andwants to be placed in a residential drug-treatment program.

“I want to change my life. When I’mclean, I’m fine,” said Douglas Ellens. “Ido realize I have a problem.”

Ellens said he was turned down by onedrug-treatment program and his attor-ney asked that Ellens be screened fortreatment in other programs as part ofhis request for the diagnostic study.

Valentine re-set sentencing for May 23.He said drug addiction was the reasonEllens robbed three banks in OceanBeach, Point Loma and Clairemont.Ellens could get seven years for his guiltypleas to those hold-ups.

Ellens was arrested Sept. 13 in a Mid-way-area motel room where some of thestolen money was found. A GPS trackingdevice was placed with the money at thethird bank, leading police to the motel.

Ellens robbed the U.S. Bank branch at4827 Newport Ave. at 3:22 p.m. and heldup the Comerica Bank at 3361 RosecransSt.

No one was injured and no weaponwas shown, although the prosecutor saidEllens wrote on two demand notes that hehad a gun.

Sentencing handed downin murder of local man

Shane Brian Grattan of Pacific Beachwas sentenced Jan. 17 to 25 years to lifein prison for the 2012 murder of DarrinJoseph, 45, a Point Loma man who wasbeaten to death in Grattan’s van.

Joseph’s family members said the vic-tim was not homeless and had been livingin a sober-living facility until about amonth prior to the murder. Joseph’s aunt,Belle Joseph, told Grattan, 57, that hemust have offered alcohol to her nephew,which she said likely led to Joseph’s deci-sion to leave the facility.

Joseph’s body was found Jan. 19, 2012in some bushes at 4960 North HarborDrive. His abandoned wheelchair wasfound not far away. His blood and DNAwas found throughout Grattan’s van,despite Grattan’s attempts to clean it up,according to police investigators.

As he did in his trial, Grattan said noth-ing during the sentencing. A jury con-victed him Nov. 6 of first-degree murder.He was arrested Feb. 8, 2012.

Superior Court Judge Amalia Mezaordered Grattan to pay nearly $3,700toward the victim’s funeral expenses andfined him more than $10,200.

Grattan’s attorney argued that Josephhad stayed temporarily with Grattan, butthat someone else committed the mur-der. Grattan has filed an appeal.

Walzak of the Unified Port of SanDiego spoke on the Port District’s 50-year vision plan.

“Over the next two to five years, thePort District is updating its long-rangemaster plan,” Walzak said.

Walzak said the Port District’s mis-

sion includes protecting the tidelandstrust and the resources within it, cre-ating a “balanced approach to themaritime industry, tourism and envi-ronmental stewardship of water andland resources, including public safe-ty.“

“The majority of our jurisdictionalarea is actually water-based,” Walzaksaid.

The idea, he said, is to do a long-range master plan, rather than “piece-mealing things together.”

Walzak said the port’s visionaryplan will be conducted in numerousphases over a number of years.

“We’re doing outreach to get a lot ofideas from a lot of people in order todevelop guiding principles and a visionstatement,” he said. We need to thinkof economic development opportuni-ties throughout the entire bay area.”

special interests. In order to increase funding forvital infrastructure projects in every community, itis critical the city get its fair share of state and fed-eral funding. For far too long, the city has nothad a strong presence in Washington, D.C. andSacramento. As mayor, I will actively lobby stateand federal agencies for everything from home-land security funding to grants for critical infras-tructure projects in blighted communities.

Q: With the departure of former Mayor Bob Fil-ner, much healing appears needed at City Hall andwithin San Diego’s respective neighborhoods. Whatis your plan to promote cohesiveness within the CityCouncil and local town councils and planning groups?

A: City Hall is healing from a tumultuousyear. To effectively govern, it’s critical that themayor represent ALL San Diegans — not justspecial interests. As such, I will govern by treat-ing all members of our communities with thedignity and respect they deserve. Unlike pastadministrations, I’ll work with our town coun-cils and planning groups to help with neigh-borhood issues. I have and will continue towork cooperatively with each city councilmem-ber to ensure each community receives theresources and services it needs. Although themayor and City Council may not always agree,by working together to do what’s best for thecity we can get San Diego back on track andmoving full steam ahead.

Q: The city’s tourism industry — particularlythe Embarcadero-based cruise-line business and theConvention Center’s bookings — has struggled in

recent years. What is your plan to put SanDiego’s tourism industry back on the map and atthe forefront of lure in the region?

A: San Diego’s tourism industry is vital toour economy and it’s critical we effectivelymarket the city to ensure tourism revenuescontinue to grow. This was the reason I bro-kered a compromise to free up tourism fund-ing, working cooperatively with all stakehold-ers involved and solving a stalemate that hadparalyzed City Hall and our ability to marketSan Diego for weeks on end. As mayor, I’llcontinue to ensure the city is competitive,attracting more conventions and making sureour own events like the upcoming BalboaPark Centennial, San Diego Pride, golf tour-naments and craft-brew festivals are strong.

Q: In terms of maintaining/growing the pres-ence of law enforcement in our beach communi-ties and maintaining/boosting budgetary sup-port for the San Diego Fire/Rescue Department’sLifeguard Services, what will you advocate asmayor?

A: I have consistently fought for increasedfunding for Fire Rescue and Lifeguard ser-vices in the city budget. When I was elected tothe City Council, my opponent and past cityleaders had chosen to slash public safetyfunding and resources. This was a recklessway to balance the budget. I proposed andsuccessfully restored funding for browned-out fire engines and lifeguard personnel. Ifound unnecessary expenses to cut withoutimpacting public services. I’m proud to havethe firefighters and lifeguards supporting mycampaign and, as mayor, funding public safe-ty services over non-essential budgetaryexpenses will be a top priority.

first. I’m the only candidate who opposed the 2010sales-tax proposal and supports the pension andbudget reforms that have turned our city around.I have the proven experience to lead City Hall anda bipartisan track record of working with localleaders to create jobs and opportunities for localfamilies. 85 percent of the money behind my oppo-nent — a freshman councilmember — comes fromunions. My campaign is overwhelmingly support-ed by individual San Diegans. I’ll spend every daycreating the world-class city we deserve.

Q: With the departure of former Mayor Bob Filner,much healing appears needed at City Hall and withinSan Diego’s respective neighborhoods. What is yourplan to promote cohesiveness within the City Counciland local town councils and planning groups?

A: I was first elected to the City Council in thewake of the last mayoral resignation [Mayor DickMurphy, who stepped aside in 2006 during a fiscalmeltdown surrounding the city’s employee pen-sion funds]. I’ve been successful during my eightyears on the City Council because I’ve always beenwilling to work with anyone with good ideas. I’veled numerous bipartisan coalitions, including pass-ing a measure to protect Mission Bay and findinghousing solutions for homeless women, childrenand veterans. As mayor, I will continue that collab-orative approach. I will also enact new transparen-cy initiatives to increase openness, honesty andcommunication between City Hall and the neigh-borhoods it serves.

Q: The city’s tourism industry — particularly theEmbarcadero-based cruise-line business and the Con-

vention Center’s bookings — has struggled in recentyears. What is your plan to put San Diego’s tourismindustry back on the map and at the forefront of lure inthe region?

A: I’m the only candidate who understands thetourism economy is critical to creating jobs andgenerating revenue to improve our parks, roadsand neighborhoods. David Alvarez opposed keytourism initiatives — financing the ConventionCenter and advertising San Diego — casting lone“no” votes against a bipartisan supermajority.Within my first term, I will strengthen our portand secure a long-term contract with Comic-Con tokeep the convention in San Diego for years to come.And within my first year as mayor, I will create aFilm and Creative Industry Commission to marketSan Diego and attract film and entertainment pro-jects.

Q: In terms of maintaining/growing the presence oflaw enforcement in our beach communities and main-taining/boosting budgetary support for the San DiegoFire/Rescue Department’s Lifeguard Services, whatwill you advocate as mayor?

A: Every San Diegan deserves to feel safe. And ashome to thousands of residents and tourists, thebeach communities face additional public-safetyneeds. My three-point “Strong and Safe Neighbor-hoods Plan” will rebuild the shrinking San DiegoPolice Department by streamlining recruitmentand hiring practices, closing the compensation gapthat is luring officers to other agencies after SanDiego taxpayers pay for their training and investingin staffing and equipment. My four-point “Neigh-borhood Fairness Plan” will improve emergencyresponse times by building new fire stations andcreate enhanced accountability measures for emer-gency first responders.

“Any offers we get will be evaluated andwe’ll move from there.”

Melanie Nickel, chairwoman of theMidway Community Planning AdvisoryGroup (MCPAG), said the group has dis-cussed the Midway postal facility sever-al times previously, knowing the proper-ty has been offered for sale by the federalgovernment.

“We heard two or three presentationsby prospective buyers, none of whomactually wound up purchasing theplace,” Nickel said, adding there are sev-eral community concerns about theproperty’s ultimate disposition.

“We are very concerned about thetraffic impacts of development,” Nickelsaid. “Any large development wouldmake the already awful traffic situationat Midway [Drive] and Rosecrans[Street] even worse. Some kind of streetinfrastructure improvements will defi-nitely be needed and will, hopefully, beone of the things the city requires fromthe developer.”

“We suspect that re-using the existing

building will not be part of the plans ofmost developers, although it does havethe advantage that it is more than 30feet in height,” said Nickel. “Anyreplacement buildings will have toadhere to the city height limit in thearea.”

There is one thing the Midway neigh-borhood appears certain about when itcomes to Midway postal site redevelop-ment.

“We do not want to see a big-boxretail store surrounded by an asphaltparking lot there,” said Nickel. “TheMidway area already has more thanenough of that kind of project. Andbesides, the traffic impact of somethinglike that would be unsustainable.”

The MCPAG has discussed the possi-bility of a mixed-use development(smaller retail combined with housing),or some sort of office park on the Mid-way postal site, according to Nickel.

“We heard a suggestion for seniorhousing at the site and we are very sup-portive of that idea, if it is feasible,”Nickel said.

Nickel said any future redevelopment“should include some public space, pos-sibly a historic plaza or historic park rec-

ognizing the site as Dutch Flats, whereLindbergh first tested his plane, the Spir-it of Saint Louis.”

“It would be nice to see the propertybecome a park or other public facility,but let’s be realistic,” said Nickel. “Thefederal government is selling the proper-ty, not giving it away. They want the fullappraised value for it.”

Once the central mail-processingfacility for all of San Diego County, Boydsaid the Midway facility, built in 1979,had become too small for that purposeby the early 1990s. Mail processing wasthen moved 20 miles north to the Mar-garet L. Sellers Processing Center onRancho Carmel Drive, which opened in1993. Mail for the 15 ZIP codes servedby the Midway Post Office has sincebeen returned from Rancho Carmel,pre-sorted for carriers to pick up anddeliver.

Prime real estate located just minutesfrom Interstates 8 and 5 and San DiegoInternational Airport, the Midway facil-ity is near the landmark Marine CorpsRecruit Depot.

The Midway postal facility itself is inthe middle of a historic area known asDutch Flats. Dutch Flats was the name

of a small dirt airstrip in the early 1900sused by Ryan Aeronautical Companynear what is now Midway Drive andBarnett Street.

Dutch Flats became famous whenRyan built a specially designed aircraftfor Charles A. Lindbergh, who tested itthere before flying it solo across theAtlantic in 1927. Several existing his-toric plaques inside Midway Post Officecommemorate Dutch Flats and Lind-bergh. Nickel said the Midway Commu-nity Planning Advisory Group believesthe Dutch Flats/Lindbergh plaquesshould be retained in any redevelop-ment of the Midway Postal site.

This isn’t the first time the USPS hastried to sell its Midway site. In 2010, theUSPS teamed up with CB Ellis RealEstate to sell the property, then estimat-ed to be worth about $62.5 million.

Amikas, a local nonprofit group,came forward with a bid to use the landas a self-sustained homeless center, aproposal which never bore fruit. The sitewas also rumored to have been consid-ered for a Costco store, but that nevercame to pass and the property wastaken off the market.

The Midway postal site consists of

15.6 acres of land with two existingbuildings and about 350 parkingspaces. The two buildings include theold mail processing facility, a three-story,436,000-square-foot building; and aformer vehicle maintenance facility, a22,000-square-foot single-story build-ing.

Onsite zoning accommodates a rangeof industrial and manufacturing activ-ities to promote a balanced land use andeconomy, and to encourage employ-ment growth, according to USPS offi-cials. The industrial zones are intendedto provide flexibility in the design of newand redeveloped industrial projectswhile assuring high-quality develop-ment, and to protect land for industrialuses and limit non-industrial uses.

The site could be also redeveloped toprovide space for a science and businesspark.

“The property development stan-dards of this zone are intended to createa campus-like environment character-ized by comprehensive site design andsubstantial landscaping, allowing a mixof light industrial and office uses,”according to the sales listing on the web-site www.uspspropertiesforsale.com.

In the early morning hours on Jan.23, Michael Paul Charter passed away.He was 69.

As many grieve the loss of a greatman, they remember who he was andthe great things he has done. As a recip-ient of several badges of honor —including the Purple Heart, CombatInfantry Badge and the National DefenseServices Medal — his list of accomplish-ments as a civilian and military man are,indeed, impressive.

A strong advocate for Purple Heartrecipients, he would go to the wall withthem and for them to help ensure theygot the recognition and benefits theydeserve. He most recently worked on thePurple Heart Memorial at the VeteransMuseum and Memorial Center in Bal-

boa Park and waspetitioning for recipi-ents of the PurpleHeart Medal to havespecial parking.

He also participatedon the Mental HealthAdvisory Board repre-senting the U.S. De-partment of VeteransAffairs and Veterans Village of SanDiego to develop the post-traumaticstress disorder program for combatveterans.

In the early 1990s, Charter was aboard member of the Ocean BeachTown Council, serving for a time aspresident. He participated in the orga-nization of chili cook-off festivals,

Christmas parades, fought against SanDiego wastewater being dumped in theocean just a few miles out of OceanBeach, restoration of the Ocean BeachPier, beautification of the Ocean Beachentryway, an Adopt-a-Beach program,and the building of the Ocean BeachSkateboard Park, just to name a few.

Memorial services will be held Feb. 1at Veterans Village of San Diego, locat-ed at 4141 Pacific Highway. in the JackLyons Auditorium at 2:30 p.m. He willbe laid to rest at Fort RosecransNational Cemetery among his com-rades.

The family requests that in lieu offlowers, monetary donations be madeto the Veterans Village of San Diego inMichael Charter’s name.

David ScottTremel passedaway Jan. 24.He was 45.

Born onSept. 6, 1968,David was thebeloved son ofJim and JaneTremel andwas a friendto all.

David wasa Point Loma High School graduate,class of 1986. He participated in theSunset Cliffs Surfing Association andwas a true waterman whose generousspirit and quick wit will be missed bymany friends in the tight knit SunsetCliffs/Ocean Beach surfing communi-ties. Sunset Cliffs reefs and Baja pointswere his playground.

Lots of great bands emerged duringthe 1960s, but only one drew fame for itsaudiences as well as its music — theGrateful Dead.

Still one of the world’s most famousgroups, despite the passing of frontmanJerry Garcia in 1995, it’s only naturalthat there be tribute acts in their honor,including Ocean Beach favorite ElectricWaste Band. Now comes Alley Cat Street,a new offshoot of this combo; — this timededicated to Garcia’s solo work.

Alley Cat Street debuted Dec. 7 at Win-ston’s Beach Club, where it will continueto play regular gigs. The group is made upof keyboardist Paul Bell, guitarist AndyBraunstein, drummer D.J. Bonin andbassist Andrew Lantz.

Bell said Winston’s is the obviouschoice when it comes to a home base.

“It was a no-brainer,” said Bell. “Iplayed 16 years of straight Mondaynights there. The ‘dead-head’ scene isthriving in OB.”

Bell said he originally left Electric WasteBand for a change of pace, though hedidn’t go too far.

“After spending over 16 years playingin the Electric Waste Band, I had a feelingit was time to move on,” he said. “I willalways love Jerry Garcia’s musical sensi-bilities and will crave that style, so I knewI would be able to assemble these cats andhave a good ol’ time playing with what, tome, are brand-new sets of music.”

Garcia fans will be happy to know thatAlley Cat Street does, indeed, stick to Gar-cia’s solo work.

“For now, we are making an effort tonot play Grateful Dead songs,” Bell said.“Jerry Garcia Band [JGB]would only playone or two songs that were also in a typ-ical Dead show. The song ‘Deal,’ for

instance.” For Bell, the most exciting thing about

Alley Cat Street is the different genresthat can show up within a single show.

“JGB lists would include Jimmy Cliffone minute, then Irving Berlin, someChuck Berry, some Motown, some funk,gospel,” said Bell. “A lot of these tunesare songs my dad would know and love.”

On the other hand, the no-Dead-songsrule is not set in stone.

“I sang over 95 tunes with ElectricWaste Band, and if someone throwssome dough in our [tip jar], I will obligethem with their Dead request, sure,” helaughed.

With two decades of playing Garcia’smusic, it’s clear that Garcia has been ahuge influence on Bell.

“I saw him with the Grateful Dead over

50 times and with Jerry Garcia Bandanother 20 or so,” Bell said. “He mademe realize any song is fair game, and agood piece of music is a good piece ofmusic. He had such a playful style. I usedto be a very rigid piano player growingup, only able to play what was written infront of me.

“After discovering the Dead, and par-ticularly Jerry, it opened up the possibili-ty of my entire instrument to be utilizedat any given time,” he said. “He taughtme improvisation and musical explo-ration and to embrace the almost out-of-control sensation of improvising withothers.”

He cites “Run For The Roses” as afavorite song.

“It’s up there for me. I never get sick ofthat one,” Bell said, noting that Garcia’sguitar technique is a crucial element ofhis own work. Its appeal is part of thereason Bell still loves Garcia’s music afterall these decades.

“He played with such a slippery type ofstyle, like a snake slithering through awood pile, his lines would float in such away it would to cause one’s mind to wan-der. He could put you in a trance on agood night,” he said.

“After discovering the [Grate-ful] Dead, and particularlyJerry [Garcia], it opened upthe possibility of my entireinstrument to be utilized at anygiven time. He taught meimprovisation and musicalexploration and to embrace theamost out-of-control sensationof improvising with others.”

plan is to create “a more pedestrian scaleand feel” to lend more of a main-streetatmosphere, encouraging smaller storesto come in.

“Did you study any options with thesports arena not being there?” askedMidway planner Cathy Kenton, who wastold by city officials one non-sportsarena alternative was being studied.

Advisory group chairwoman MelanieNickel pointed out there is one impor-tant consideration to be factored intoany rethinking of area land use.

“No one much lives here, pretty mucheveryone arrives by car,” Nickel said.

She added the community is not inter-ested in seeing redevelopment charac-terized by lots of blacktop or concrete

parking lots, which already predomi-nate.

“If there isn’t a sports arena, thanmaybe there could be some kind ofentertainment focus there,” said Nick-el.

City engineer Galloway respondedthat “a big theater with shoppingaround it, or an ice-skating rink or parkspace” could be redevelopment alterna-tives to be considered. He added localplanners could look to other areas else-where in the state and nation that havesimilarly redeveloped urban spaces likethe Midway/Pacific Highway Corridor.

Jarvis Ross, a planner representing thenearby Peninsula Community PlanningGroup covering Point Loma, said anyredrawn map of land use in the Midwayarea will necessarily have to focus ontraffic impacts in the notoriously crowd-ed and cramped urban corridor linking

coastal communities, Old Town and theSan Diego River.

Galloway said aesthetics is a criticalconsideration in re-envisioning what theMidway/Pacific Highway Corridor canbe, helping it to achieve its full potential.

“We need to focus on green streets forsustainability measures, using shadetrees and traffic calming, developing ele-ments connecting you to park spaceaccommodating pedestrians and bicy-clists,” Galloway said.

The advisory group will resume dis-cussion of the Midway/Pacific HighwayPlan Update at its Feb. 19 meeting, whenit is hoped planners will vote on somekey provisions of a new communityplan.

The group meets the third Wednes-day of the month at 3 p.m. at San DiegoCommunity College West City Campus,3249 Fordham St. in Room 208.
