A great man I can’t tell you what a great man, leader and person Chuck Millenbah was (see Beach & Bay Press front page, March 4). He was the president of OMBAC (Old Mission Beach Athletic Club) for 32 years. I was truly moved with about 150 to 200 people that attended his memorial service near the Jetty in South Mission on March 20. He was an intelligent gentle giant at 6’5″-tall and helped make OMBAC into the class act it is today! – Steve Sherrard, Mission Beach Disregard the malcontents Please disregard those malcontents who want to ban drinking in Kate Sessions Park. As a long time resident of Pacific Beach, and a member of Friends of Kate Sessions Park, my family has spent many hours in the park. My children played games there, my family and friends have picnics on the slopes overlooking the city and I walk or jog there. Never once have I witnessed drunken behavior, even with the heavier use of the park since alcohol has been banned at the beach. Young people, both men and women, play games there and often have a beer so they can enjoy their play; the same with gatherings on holidays which I have attended, and special events, such as the one a few weeks ago when young people enjoyed a rockband — and drank beer. A problem has been the location of picnic tables at the south end of the park near residential properties where noisy picnics have taken place. The solution: move the tables more into the interior of the park. The problem is not with those who drink in the park, it is with those who bring in their dogs, let them run loose and don’t clean up after them. I served on the Friends of Kate Sessions Park to establish the dog park on Soledad Mountain Road, and thought that solved the problem. Kate Sessions now has a leash law, but it is being violated. Families should be able to enjoy themselves by finding a clean place on the slope and not be bothered when eating, or when jogging. Families like to have a beer, too. It is not the drinking that is the problem, it is the dogs. – Walter Ladwig, Jr., Pacific Beach
