Awesome and Unique Spectacle July 4 Re-enactment of the First Salute Planned. A re-enactment of the First Salute is planned for Fourth of July at the Maritime Museum. Most people think America gained her independence on July 4, 1776. But it actually occurred on November 16, 1776 when the American Brig of War Andrew Doria sailed into the harbor of St. Eustatius and fired a salute to the Dutch flag. The reply, roaring from the cannons of Fort Oranje, marked the first international recognition of the American flag and our beginning as an independent nation. A re-enactment of this
historic First Salute will take place at the Maritime Museum on July 4th at the beginning and finale of the evening fireworks show in the San Diego Bay. The state tall ship Californian will fire her guns at the Maritime Museum and receive the salute to her flag by the Museum’s full battery of

STATE ROUTE 163 AND FRIARS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
ARE ON THE WAY! By Gina Cord
It is a familiar experience – you are sitting in traffic somewhere on SR-163 or Friars Road. You are late getting to where you are going, whether it is home, work, school, shopping or a game. Why? Because the SR-163 and Friars Road interchange was designed and constructed for 1970’s traffic demand. Now, forty years later, many more people use this major interchange to get where they are going. Guess what? Significant transportation improvements are coming soon. On June 17, 2010, the City’s Planning Commission unanimously approved over $128 million worth of traffic improvements to directly benefit the SR-163 and Friars Road interchange in
Mission Valley. Phase 1: Widen Friars Road from Avenida de las Tiendas to Mission Center Road, including Friars Road overcrossing and reconstruct the interchange improvements to ramp intersections.
Phase 2: Connect new connector roadways and structures.

Mayor Sanders says New Civic Center will Save City Millions
Critics Think it is a Waste of Taxpayer Money
“San Diego taxpayers would reap a savings of $24 million over ten years and $232 million over 50 years if the City redevelops the Civic Center instead of continuing to lease expensive off-site office space and making costly bandaid repairs to the existing facility,” according to Mayor Jerry Sanders. Critics of the proposal say the city shouldn’t be spending money on a new City Hall when the city is cutting neighborhood services due to budget constraints. City Councilmember Carl DeMaio believes the economic downturn gives the city an opportunity to renegotiate its many leases for reduced rent which would save the city money. Mayor Sanders will ask the City Council to put the proposal on the November ballot at its July 12th meeting. “For me, this is a business decision,” said Mayor Sanders. “I can not justify throwing away millions of dollars on rent, as well as repairs
to a building on its last legs, when there is a less expensive alternative. The savings we achieve will be used for police, fire, parks, branch libraries and street resurfacing.”
Under the agreement, Gerding-Edlen Development would construct a 19-story building immediately next to City Hall where Golden Hall currently stands. The new facility would allow the City to consolidate city employees who work downtown into one building, eliminating the need for the City to continue paying $13 million a year for leased office space and making necessary fixes to the Civic Center, projected to cost $37 million over the next ten years. “In addition to saving taxpayer dollars, the project would generate 2,300...
