(Mission Times Courier, San Diego, CA) - Under the direction of Cynthia Wright our new president, 2010 should prove to be an exciting year.

The sign-ups have gone extremely well and have been a huge success to date. Therefore, we have added a second Mitey Mite team and have five full levels of Pop Warner teams as well as cheer teams. Although there are a lot of returning players, we still have room for new players. But don�t delay, the teams are filling up rather quickly and you don�t want to miss out. Pop Warner is open to youth ages 5 to 15.

(Mission Times Courier, San Diego, CA) - The next meeting of the Area Council is scheduled for Wednesday, April 7tat the San Carlos Branch Library at 7:00pm. We will have presentations about two projects in San Carlos and will vote on each. One is the proposed demolition of the Valero gas station at the corner of Jackson Drive and Navajo Road. The applicant plans to replace it with a new station with four fuel dispensers, a car wash and a convenience store. We don't know if alcohol sales will be sought for the location. The Development Services Dept. of the City is currently reviewing the project, so more information should be available prior to or at the April 7th meeting. We would like input from residents about this proposed change for the property, especially the car wash and a convenience store, with the possibility of alcohol sales.

(Mission Times Courier, San Diego, Ca) - Due to the publishing schedule for the Mission Times Courier, the March 3rd meeting of the San Carlos Area Council (SCAC) will have already taken place by the time you read this article. Our guest speaker was Professor Pat Abbott, an expert on natural disasters, a Professor Emeritus at San Diego State University, an author and a resident of San Carlos.

Dr. Abbott is the person sought out by the local media whenever a major earthquake occurs, locally or elsewhere. He provided the audience with a wealth of information about the geology of San Diego, from seismic faults to the potential for a tsunami striking the San Diego shoreline. Professor Abbott obtained a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Texas at Austin and wrote Natural Disasters, which was published by McGraw-Hill. He also spoke about his recent trip to Antarctica (not his first) and responded to the many questions from the audience. We thank Professor Abbott for taking the time from his busy schedule to address the SCAC members and residents of the Navajo Area.

I�m pleased to be a member of this group, which is in the initial phase of moving this long-needed project forward. A conceptual drawing of the new playground and photos of the proposed equipment may be included in the presentation. Please attend if you are interested in this project, especially if you have children who use or will use the playground in our community park on Murray Park Drive, where the July 4th Music Fest is held.
