Mass Communication Specialist 3rd class Kevin Gray from Imperial Beach is a photographer currently aboard the USS Ronald Reagan.

These are pictures he took Tuesday during a food and supplies drop-off by the Black Knights of Helicopter Squadron Four in northern Japan.

Sailors and aircraft from the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group are currently taking part in Operation Tomodachi to aid victims of a 8.9 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that struck the country March 11.

Tomodachi means friend in Japanese.

And demand their neighbors pay for parks programs so the kids parents don't have to. It must be that "we all live in the same community" thing and have to get along thing, eh? Yes, you are as "wierd" (sic) as you guessed. BTW, nice bragging about threatening to make someone eat dog crap from your yard.

Thank you for posting this. Great job to all who were involved with the Alternative Solution to IB…Read More Sports Park Privatization Planning Committee. While the above referenced "delaying tactic" is likely true, it will be up to the community's grassroots activism to force the council to a public decision on the issue. Their "delaying tactic" comes with a price in 2014 - when two council seats and the mayors seat is up for grabs. Who's interested?

Mayor Janney seems anguished at finding a process he can still control ? Probably so he can finish…Read More the deal and deliver the goods; per the previous DONE DEAL. He acts like; No matter what process they do, the only decision will be YMCA. 16:08 Janney: "We can appoint our plants on the committee?" Gary Brown: "Oh Yea!" "OH YEA!" _____________________________________ If the YMCA took over ownership of Municipal Property and then went Bankrupt....would tax-payer assets be sold off to the highest bidder via Bankruptcy Proceedings? Maybe the YMCA is going to pass the properties through to another entity that will buy them out when they file for planned future bankruptcy? Hey ...If the YMCA is running the Municipal Pools in Chula Vista and National City now...maybe they'd like to build a pool for Imperial Beach with their own money; since all the Imperial Beach RDA money went for "OTHER PROJECTS"? Is this a classic struggle over who controls the children in the community?
