Horses, dogs get into the Halloween spirit Seiber to be recognized on By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE — The Spooktacular Halloween Dressage Show and Howl’in Dog Costume Contest serves up a recipe for a great event. It brings cancer awareness to the community, raises money for special causes, and gathers everyone together for a memorable time. While the dressage show is entering its fourth year, the dog costume contest is pawing its way into its third. This much anticipated event is produced by Crackerjack Productions and is slated for Oct. 29 and Oct. 30 at the Del Mar Horsepark. Meredith Grimm, a resident of Rancho Santa Fe, is lending a helping hand with the event. On a professional level, Grimm is a nurse and patient advocate for children and adults with
cancer and rare diseases. Founder of Crackerjack Productions, Lisa Blaufuss, is a cancer survivor. And with October marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Grimm said that Blaufuss decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from the horse show to Breast Cancer Angels once again this year. Proceeds from the Howl’in Dog Costume Contest will be filtered to the FACE Foundation. Grimm explained that this organization provides funds for emergency veterinary pet care to pet owners with financial need. “This event is special because it is about raising awareness and the power of community, in this case, the Southern California dressage community and the Friends of Lisa
(FOL),” Grimm said. “Lisa is one very inspirational cancer survivor who has made the choice to live her life and do what she loves despite her cancer diagnosis. Lisa has taught us all a great deal about living with cancer by the behavior she models. This month she will show us how to run her signature Crackerjack Halloween horse show while receiving chemotherapy.” Grimm describes the Spooktacular Dressage Show as not only a fun event, but one that affords both participants and spectators a triple-rated dressage event which features leading California and West Coast dressage riders. “The show is considered the social event of the dressage show sea TURN TO DRESSAGE ON 15
RSF residents help with ROMP gala By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE — The Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of San Diego is readying for its annual ROMP gala. Slated for Oct. 29 at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, this premiere event will raise funds in an effort to help families remain in close proximity of their children when hospitalized and undergoing treatment. Two members of the ROMP gala executive committee are Rancho Santa Fe residents Jamie Straza and Fernanda “Fé” Whitworth. Straza, who is also a development committee member and former board member, said her involvement with RHMC started 30 years ago when she was in high school. Throughout the years, Straza noted how RHMC has transformed. “RMHC is dear to my heart because any time you have children who
are sick and need medical care, it affects the entire family,” Straza said. “Having a place for the family to be close to their loved ones is best for everyone.” Straza shared how Fernanda Whitworth she has been involved with RHMC in a variety of ways. In addition to strategic planning and being on the board, she has joined her children, friends and fellow staff members in serving meals to the families staying at the San Diego Ronald McDonald House.
“For me, it’s about serving our com mu n it y and giving back to help grow the organization to be able to accommodate the needs of the community,” she said. Straza also wants Jamie Straza people to know that the San Diego Ronald McDonald House is not completely supported by McDonald’s. It’s estimated that the local restaurant franchisees donate about 10 percent. TURN TO ROMP ON 15

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) San Diego Chapter is recognizing seven individuals for its 44th National Philanthropy Day celebration Nov. 16. John Seiber, a resident of Rancho Santa Fe, will be acknowledged Nov. 16 in the category of Outstanding Fundraising Volunteer. According to AFP, Seiber was nominated by Mingei International Museum, Kraemer Endowment Foundation and St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center. When Seiber heard the news, he admitted that he was “blown away” and of course, humbled. “For me, this nomination means that anyone can do this if they set their mind to it; and, maybe that would give some others the courage to help in fundraising around the city and county of San Diego,” Seiber said. Seiber has been recognized for his insightful long-term planning, board cultivation, and an inspirational wisdom for relationship building. In cultivating a board, Seiber shared that he prefers members to be concentrated on the goal of the board, but to also have diverse opinions. And it’s all about finding one board candidate at a time. “One good board member might lead to another,”
doesn’t happen overnight, but you can build it over a few years.” Seiber also shared his perspective on donors in terms of relationship building for long-term philanthropy planning. “You want a donor to become a voice for the project and to make it their own; not yours,” he said. And being a good steward for donors and the project is essential. In an AFP press release, Maureen King, vice chair of the Kraemer Endowment Foundation described Seiber as a model board chairman who conveys respect with others he works with. “His leadership is measured, steady and constant. He listens to and is respectful of each board member’s opinions and suggestions, yet always manages to skillfully separate the substantive from the peripheral in order to achieve a solid, practical conclusion,” King said. In the same press release, Debra Emerson, CEO of St. Madeline Sophie’s Choice shared her feelings. “John has been giving his time, effort and commitment to us for over 18 years,” she said. Emerson added, “John has been an integral player in connecting high-value philanthropic partners together TURN TO SEIBER ON 15

Train station project back on track in Solana Beach By Bianca Kaplanek
SOLANA BEACH — Plans to develop the Solana Beach Transit Station property are back on track, with the latest proposal revealed at the Sept. 28 city council meeting. Several area developers and architects, including Solana Beach resident Torgen Johnson, partnered to create Cedros Market, a phased project featuring restaurant, retail and office space, a 45-room boutique hotel and about 30 residential units. North County Transit District, which owns the 5.6acre site on North Cedros Avenue at Lomas Santa Fe Drive, received four submittals in response to a request for proposals. The plans were presented in November 2015 at a public open house. Cedros Market was ranked the highest among the submittals. “We are excited to be a finalist and have been impressed with the coopera-
tion and teamwork between the city of Solana Beach and NCTD,” said co-developer Joe Balla of Strategic Assets Group Inc. “I think this bodes well for Cedros Market becoming a very successful project.” To create the development, Johnson said the group used a 35-page design guide, the surrounding commercial area, NCTD’s ridership needs and input from “anyone and everyone in the community who had an idea or concern about the site.” He said the goal was to complete a 20-year vision of seamlessly reconnecting the east and west sides of Solana Beach that are split by the tracks. The team was sensitive to context, scale, character, traffic, parking and preserving views along the Coast Highway 101 corridor “while creating an attractive commercial destination for this unique transit-oriented development site,” Johnson said.

Council addresses KAABOO complaints By Bianca Kaplanek
DEL MAR — Based on the numbers, efforts by KAABOO Del Mar organizers to decrease the noise emanating from the three-day entertainment and arts festival paid off. But Del Mar City Council members said the end results still aren’t good enough. This year the city received six noise complaints, compared to 70 during the 2015 inaugural event. Last year 91 people made 123 calls to a KAABOO hotline to complain about noise. This year there were 56 calls from 46 different people. “In general I think the noise levels this year (were) a lot lower than last year,” Councilman Al Corti said at the Oct. 3 meeting. “But I take exception to the (KAABOO report) that basically indicated that there were no noise violations and I don’t think that’s a fact.” The Del Mar Fairgrounds, where the event is held, has a noise ordinance with which all non-fair events are required to comply. It is different than Del Mar’s noise ordinance, which is not applicable to fairgrounds events. Julie Coleman, KAABOO’s director of community relations, stated in a report to the city that noise levels at locations in Del Mar, Solana Beach and the city of San Diego “never exceeded” the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ allowable average limit of 64.6 decibels. According to sound-monitoring data from Del Mar’s consultant, the noise averaged 74 decibels this year compared to 95 in 2015. “They were still 10 decibels higher than the noise ordinance allows for 60 percent to 70 percent of the time,” Corti said.
“They certainly did a much better job … but they didn’t meet their own criteria and their own sound ordinance and it’s somewhat troubling that they report that they did,” Councilman Don Mosier said. “But that’s not their biggest problem.” “On the other issues of traffic control and security … I thought they did significantly less of a job this year than they did last year,” said Corti, who lives a few blocks from the fairgrounds. “I thought the crowd control was problematic,” he added. “Traffic management was much more difficult for us and the impact on our community.” Councilman Dwight Worden resident Bill Michalsky agreed. “Traffic control and impacts surrounding the event that are in our (area) got worse,” Worden said. “We need to be more assertive in the rights that we do have and work with them to fix those.” “The whole traffic control was a nightmare,” Michalsky said. “Their traffic (plan) needs a hell of a lot of work.” Michalsky said he took an Uber to a VIP event Thursday night, before the official start of the festival, and “could hardly get in.” He also noted a lack of offsite parking. He suggested the organizers work with North County Transit District. “Public transportation can really free up a lot of problems,” he said. There was also an incident Sept. 17 when two outdoor concerts ended at the same time. When crowds from both tried to get into a venue for another performance, the entry became TURN TO KAABOO ON 15

SDSU professor discusses how molecules have changed the world By Christina Macone-Greene
RANCHO SANTA FE — Those who have dedicated their lives to organic chemistry have afforded individuals the ability to heal through the creation of tiny molecules. According to Professor Mikael Bergdahl, who teaches at San Diego State University, tens of millions of people have been cured because of it. Those who attended the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center on Sept. 21 were able to hear Bergdahl’s lecture. “I’m here to give a bit of a historical talk about some of the most important molecules that have a great impact on public health,” Bergdahl said. He went on to note how some of these molecules have had an impact on medications that help treat cancer, heal infections and cure diseases such as malaria. Bergdahl shared that many are already acquainted with molecules designed by chemists. On this list are penicillin, aspirin, Taxol and vancomycin.
It was Bergdahl’s goal to provide a historical perspective during his lecture. He had also hoped the timeline would help show how strides have been made in organic chemistry beginning with Friedrich Wöhler, a professor of
chemistry at the University of Gottingen. In 1828, the Wöhler synthesis was created which transformed ammonium cyanate into urea. This trailblazing synthesis was the first artificial production from an
organic compound. It was Bergdahl’s goal to share with others about when one of the first important molecules was created, where science is today because of it, and the ongoing connections it has created over time.

Yes vote urged on Measure MM By Jim Ashcraft, Gregory A. Stein & Ted Owen
GOP must change to achieve Latino pipe dream California Focus By Thomas D. Elias
A
s California enters the heart of an election year where the Top Two primary system has saddled the state’s Republican Party with new problems at several political and governmental levels, the GOP still clings to one big pipe dream: Despite the anti-immigrant, anti-Mexican rhetoric of presidential nominee Donald Trump, the GOP persists in hoping to cut into the gigantic majorities every Democrat has won among Latinos over the last generation, except when they’ve run against movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger was a special case, first winning office in a recall election almost purely on the strength of his celebrity and muscleman image. That did not help the GOP in the long term. The state party now faces an unprecedented situation where it not only qualified no candidate for this fall’s contest to replace Democrat Barbara Boxer in the U.S. Senate, but also has no candidates at all in more than 30 other races. Around the state today, 25 battles for Congress or the Legislature see only one party on the ballot, two more feature Democrats facing off with “no party preference” candidates and 16 slots have candidates running unopposed. The vast majority of these one-sided elections feature Democrats. One cause is clear: If the GOP had been able to draw a substantial vote from the state’s large Latino population in the June primary, today’s situation would look very different. After more than a century of political dormancy, Latinos have emerged as the second-larg-
est ethnic voting bloc in California and almost everywhere else, trailing only whites of European descent. There is no Schwarzenegger-like savior in sight today for the state’s Republicans — in fact, there is no major GOP figure now among the leading prospects to run for governor in 2018 — so the state party’s real need is to look hard at what it does and how that offends Latinos. For without a lot of Latino votes, no party in California can hope to accomplish much. Just how negatively Latinos feel about Republicans can be seen in some recent elections. In 2010, Boxer carried 66 percent of the Latino vote to 31 percent for rival Carly Fiorina. If Fiorina had won 40 percent of Latino votes – as Ronald Reagan often did
For without a lot of Latino votes, no party in California can hope to accomplish much. in his heyday — she’d be a senator today. Jerry Brown won Latino balloting by a 63-34 percent margin in the same year — the last time California had an open seat in the governor’s office. With Trump running, polls suggest Democrats can now expect to get well over 70 percent of Latino votes. Republicans are realistic enough to know they’ll have to turn around quite a few Latinos to make respectable showings in the future, or to begin cutting down the current 17 percent Democratic advantage among registered voters.
They vowed several times in recent years to do that, even hiring Latino outreach directors with Spanish surnames. So far, it has not helped. So if Republicans don’t want to sink into complete irrelevancy in California, they’ll have to make some real changes. Merely hiring people whose names sound Hispanic won’t do. Nor will happy talk. Especially not after most key state GOP figures fell right into line behind Trump despite his racist remarks and attacks even on second generation Mexican-Americans. One national poll by the pro-immigrant America’s Voice organization found more than 80 percent of Latino voters consider immigration today’s most important issue. The survey found the vast majority wants a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who have caused no trouble while living in America for several years. Republicans who take stances like that, including U.S. Reps. Jeff Denham and David Valadao, both reelected repeatedly in Central Valley districts with large Latino voting blocs, are eminently electable. But so far, only a few Republicans have seen this light. The remainder refuse to make a significant shift on immigration, preferring to be hard-liners who have at least provided a counterpoint to the Democrats’ stances, pro-immigration when they’d have a chance to win if they changed a bit. Until this mind-set alters, expect no major gains for the GOP in California, which except in a few places is now about as irrelevant as any major political party here ever has been.

MiraCosta College is an invaluable resource for local students and businesses here in North San Diego County. Our local community college has done an excellent job training the local workforce, preparing students for four-year college and supporting veterans. MiraCosta has earned the community’s trust and we urge a yes vote on Measure MM. As our local economic engine, MiraCosta College is a key partner to local industries and is responsible for training skilled workers in growing fields like biotechnology, nursing, maritime technology and hightech manufacturing. More than one in three local high school graduates turn to MiraCosta College for an affordable and high-quality education. This demand continues to grow as the cost of four-year college has skyrocketed. In addition, more than 1,800 active-duty military personnel, veterans and their families depend on MiraCosta for job training and counseling services. When local residents need to advance their skills, prepare for college or train for a new job, they turn to MiraCosta College. That is why Measure MM is so important — it will allow our community college to con-
tinue providing high-quality affordable education and training local workers for careers. Even though MiraCosta has skillfully managed a limited budget, it has been over fifty years since our community college received significant funding for facility improvements. In that same time, all of our neighboring colleges have received funding that has helped them advance and keep pace with 21st century needs. If we want our own local college to prepare students to compete in today’s economy, we must make the investment. Classrooms, laboratories and career training facilities need to be updated and additional classrooms and labs are needed to serve the growing demand for career training. Facilities for job training and veterans services need to be improved. Measure MM is necessary. No other source of funding exists for upgrading our local community college. Measure MM provides clear accountability and local control. By law, every penny must be spent to improve and upgrade classrooms and facilities at MiraCosta College. Funds cannot be diverted to other purposes or be taken away by the state. An independent citizens’ oversight
committee and annual audits will ensure Measure MM funds are spent as promised. In addition, Measure MM will qualify our college for state matching funds, when they become available, which will help make our local dollars go farther and improve our college for generations to come. We are proud to join a growing coalition of Measure MM supporters — including the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, Biocom, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation and the Oceanside and Carlsbad Chambers of Commerce. Measure MM continues to receive broad-based community support from organizations, elected officials and community leaders throughout the county. Measure MM is a carefully developed plan that will directly support MiraCosta College right where it needs it — in the classroom. Please join us this Nov. 8 in voting yes on Measure MM — for our college and for our local economy. Jim Ashcraft is an Encinitas business owner, Gregory A. Stein is chairman of the board of San Diego County Taxpayers Association and Ted Owen is president and CEO of Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce.

Affordable housing to be a top priority By Bianca Kaplanek
DEL MAR — Council members at the Oct. 3 meeting vowed to make the creation of affordable housing a priority, supporting recommendations from the Del Mar Housing Corporation to set up a $2 million reserve fund in the next five years and hire a consultant to explore acquisition, development and conversion opportunities in the city. “I usually like to brag about all the special things that we do in this town,” resident and Housing Corporation member Bud Emerson said. “This is one of the most embarrassing things that I ever have to talk about. “We have some great words in our housing element but we haven’t achieved anything,” he added. “It’s not only a legal issue. It’s a moral issue. I mean, what the hell kind of a community are we if we can’t make a statement that we’re willing to get out there and do something?” Don Mosier is among the council members who share Emerson’s shame. “We’re the only city in the county that has zero affordable housing units,” Mosier said. “The next smallest city has 28 and then it goes way up from there. We’re not even close and I’m embarrassed that we haven’t made a start. “We need to be able to take care of our lower-income citizens,” he added, noting that according to the last census, 27 percent of Del Mar’s population would qualify as medium-low, low- and very-low income. “It’s not like we don’t have enough people living in this city who could use low-income housing,” Mosier said. The mission of the Housing Corporation is to promote and facilitate various housing opportunities in Del Mar. “As we’re aware, that’s a difficult task, a colossal task at times,” Don Countryman, president of the organization, said. Estimates put the median home price in Del Mar at more than $1.1 million and the median monthly rent at $4,500. Historically, the Housing Corporation provided a rental subsidy with funding coming
from in-lieu payments from developments such as condo conversions or the removal and non-replacement of housing stock. Money also came from redevelopment agencies, which Gov. Jerry Brown eliminated in 2011. Until recently the average subsidy fund balance was $700,000, which provided assistance for eight families. There have been limited contributions to the fund in the last few years and none in the last fiscal year. With the current balance hovering at about $370,000, only five families are receiving aid. Monthly expenditures average $4,160, or approximately $832 per family. While the subsidies help with the overall affordability of housing, they do not contribute to the state-mandated affordable housing stock. Del Mar is required to show it could provide 42 new low- or moderate-income units. That number includes a 15unit penalty for not having a certified housing plan in the past, although the city has one now. In August the Housing Corporation voted unanimously to request that City Council take decisive action to achieve Del Mar’s fair share of the regional affordable housing needs. In addition to setting up the reserve fund and hiring a consultant, the organization asked the city to contribute money from the general fund to bring the subsidy balance back up to $700,000. The $2 million fund would be used to develop or buy buildings with a dedicated number of affordable units under city ownership or control. Countryman said the city needs to be in a position to buy property when it becomes available. “We can’t do that unless we have funds available to act quickly,” he said. “The opportunity is only there if we’re ready for it. The time is right to look at funding this kind of thing.” The end game, he said, is to find brick-andTURN TO HOUSING ON 15

50-year sand project clears another hurdle By Bianca Kaplanek
REGION — An Army Corps of Engineers project that would add sand to Solana Beach and Encinitas beaches during a 50-year span cleared another hurdle last month when the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives passed two separate but similar bills authorizing the plan. The Water Resources Development Act, or WRDA, includes authorization for the Army Corps of Engineers to complete coastal sand replenishment and storm damage reduction in both cities, which have been working collaboratively on the proposal for more than 16 years. WRDA is bipartisan legislation to help address the needs of the America’s harbors, locks, dams, flood protection and other water resources. “With the passage of WRDA, it’s my hope we can bring much-needed relief to Solana Beach and Encinitas coastlines that have been in need of repair and sand replenishment for years,” Rep. Darrell Issa wrote in a press release following the 399-25 vote. “Erosion has eaten away at many of the beaches along our coast, which can hamper our local beach economies and present significant safety risks to residents and the community,” he added. “I’m pleased to move this local project priority forward.” Once the project gets underway — probably not until at least 2019 — it will create 35 acres of new beach area over five decades. The sand replacement is expected to prevent bluff-top homes from falling into the ocean, improve recreational opportunities, decrease the need for sea walls and increase safety by reducing the threat of bluff failures caused by wave action. Encinitas is slated for an initial placement volume of 340,000 cubic yards of sand for an added average beach width of 50 feet. Solana Beach will receive 700,000 cubic yards to create an average beach width of 150 feet. Encinitas will be replenished every five years with 220,000 cubic yards of sand. Solana Beach will receive 290,000 cubic yards every 10 years. Because the versions passed by the Senate and House aren’t identical, a conference committee will convene in November to
Congress passes separate but similar bills last month authorizing a plan that will add sand to the beaches in Encinitas and Solana Beach over a 50-year span. The next major step for the project, in the works for nearly two decades, is to secure funding. Photo by Bianca Kaplanek
“iron out the minute differences,” an Issa spokesman said. The final bill will go back to Congress and, if passed, be forwarded to the president and signed into law, perhaps in December. “When this happens, the Solana Beach-Encinitas project will be officially ‘authorized,’” Solana Beach City Manager Greg Wade said. “Given the amount of time and energy the city has dedicated to this project, this will be a momentous occasion.” The total 50-year cost, which includes monitoring and mitigation, is estimated
to be $100.1 million in Encinitas and $64.7 million in Solana Beach, with average annual costs of $2.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. About $87 million is slated to come from the federal government. Authorization doesn’t guarantee federal funding, but it is “absolutely critical” as it makes the project eligible to receive funds from the Army Corps of Engineers budget, Wade said. The next step is obtaining Army Corps funding for preconstruction, engineering and design. “Congress is expected
to adopt a budget for all government agencies before the end of the year,” Wade said. The Army Corps will be required to produce a work plan indicating how it intends to spend appropriated funds. Wade said the cities will be working closely with local representatives and the congressional delegation to ensure Army Corps headquarters and administration officials allocate funding in the work plan to begin the preconstruction, engineering and design phase of the project, which is expected to take up to two years to complete.

Homelessness in Carlsbad
T
oo often, I find myself painfully aware of North County’s homeless population, but there’s reason for hope that more lives will be turned around and
kept off the streets in the months to come. As a Carlsbad resident, I’ve seen an increase in homeless activity and the transient population over the past two years. Folks wandering our shopping areas and transit centers, carrying their life belongings with them in shopping carts and vans. The data seems to support my observations — the annual Point in Time Count of San Diego County’s homeless population saw an increase from 76 individuals counted in Carlsbad in 2014 to 108 this year. That’s a 42 percent gain. This week, I was approached in a parking lot for spare change, on my way to the gym. That’s never happened before. Where do these folks sleep at night, and how are they getting the help they need? People deserve better. Eager to learn more, I called up Greg Anglea, executive director of Interfaith Community Services, for an update on what’s being done to address homelessness in North County. When we had spoken last year for my column, Anglea had told me about the need for more local landlords willing to rent to the homeless, and the need for more funding for direct services. Today, Anglea said TURN TO NORTHBOUND ON 15

t was almost as much fun as a sleepover. Recently I looked at my face in the mirror. After gasping and feeling a bit faint, I decided it was time for some biggirl makeup. I have a longtime friend, who has always worn full, but tasteful, makeup, every day, rain or shine, in the garden or at the gala. I immediately called her and we planned a trip to the make-up counters of Newport Beach. Of course, a nice lunch was part of the deal, and it turned into a mini-spa day. About an hour before dashing out the door, I realized some research would be wise, so I first typed in “industrial-strength spackle for sad, saggy, blotchy old broads,” but oddly, that didn’t show much. So I stopped feeling sorry for myself and looked up “face foundation for over-60.” There is a boatload of information out there, as we boomers refuse to grow up or older. I narrowed the choices down to about four brands, and we began hitting the big department stores.

Hotel Temecula has authenticity, colorful history — but no ghosts hit the road e’louise ondash
L
et’s set the record straight: The Hotel Temecula is NOT there are no
haunted; ghosts. But what the historic hotel in Old Town Temecula does have is authenticity and a colorful history that offers much more than ghost stories. “She’s called the Grand Old Lady and it really fits,” says co-owner Richard Beck, referring to the hotel. Book a room and he’ll keep your attention with numerous tales about the hotel, its various owners, the town and lots of fascinating minutiae about the colorful characters that walked through the story of Temecula Valley. Beck and a sibling purchased the hotel and nearly everything in it from the Parker family in 2014. “We like to say that the Beck brothers bought the hotel from the Parker sisters,” he adds. In fact, more money was offered to the Parker family by a developer who wanted to demolish the hotel, but “(the Parkers) finally got what we were trying to do. This was once the social center for the whole town and we just couldn’t let it be destroyed.” The original hotel was

of San Diego and San Bernardino counties because area settlers wanted a closer county seat.) Over the next 125 years, the hotel also served as a general store, schoolhouse, town hall, telephone office and post office. Beck and his wife, Chris Greer, are only the fourth owners. Both recently retired attorneys, the couple raised their five children in the area and felt a connection with the town of Temecula; however, they had no idea that they would pour hearts and souls into the hotel’s restoration or reach so far into its history. The many photos on the dining room wall tell much of the area’s history. “(It’s important to) document and share the real stories that bring the hotel and Old Town to life,” says Beck, who has spent countless hours researching in libraries, historical societies, newspapers, old documents and online to put together a narrative about the hotel. (Note: Beck’s cell phone ring is the Eagles’ “Hotel
California.”) Beck also discovered that Temecula was the backdrop for about a dozen movies, and Old Town and valley wineries have been featured on “American Idol,” “Desperate Housewives” and the Food Network. Greer has worked hard to stage the hotel’s furnishings, accessories and artifacts. Most items are originals — headboards, chairs, lamps, carpet, wallpaper, dishes, knickknacks and doilies. The former kerosene ceiling lights have been converted to electric “without compromising their integrity,” she explains. Greer continues the hunt for authenticity. On this Saturday morning, she is hoping to score at the quilt show and auction later today. “They are all beautiful, but many quilts nowadays are made with machines,” she explains. “I want to find some that were sewn by hand — you know, where all the women get together and make the quilts (in a sewing circle).” With the hotel’s cen-
tral location on Main Street, guests can park their cars and walk to the shops, restaurants and galleries. Weekends now bring millennials who come for the live music and the farm-to-table cuisine. Beck and Greer are glad to see it, but they are grateful for their “hotel oasis” where they can escape at any time of day. “It can be crazy out there at night, and you can come in here and everything is peaceful,” Beck says. “And it’s nice to sit out on the porch in the morning with a cup of coffee and watch the town wake up.” For more information, visit thehoteltemecula. com/.

to be a key connector in the community,” Councilman Mike Nichols said, noting that it doesn’t seem “too urban for the environment in which it sits.” He said he liked the mix of one- and two-story buildings but cautioned the development team about overusing repurposed buildings. A pedestrian and vehicular bridge will be added over the tracks at Estrella Street to connect the north end of the project to Coast Highway 101. The hotel and residential units will be north of the new bridge, comprising phase two. The project will provide about 1,280 spaces in three levels of parking, some underground. The city has been discussing projects for the site for more than two decades. A controversial $72 million development, known as Cedros Crossing, was in the works for seven years.

That ended in late 2008 after council members determined the mixed-use project wasn’t compatible with the city’s general plan. A redesigned project was requested but never submitted. Since then a new management team has taken over at NCTD. “I really appreciate the collaboration,” Councilwoman Lesa Heebner said. “I’m pleased with the feedback and the good relationship that we’ve developed with NCTD. I know this is meeting (its) needs as well as our community’s needs.” The final project is still being negotiated by an NCTD selection committee. City Manager Greg Wade said the expectation is that an exclusive agreement will be announced “in short order.” Once that happens the project will be re-presented to the city — likely no sooner than spring — for permit and environmental document approvals, at which time hearings will be held to garner additional public input.

He said a city goal to create 22 affordable units in five years “just through zone modifications or conversion credits … I don’t think is going to get us there.” “I don’t think it’s just putting $2 million into a pot,” he added. “I think that’s not going to get it done either.” “We want you to stop hiding the ball,” Emerson said. “Every council that I’ve known has figured out one way or another not to do something definitive in this area. “It isn’t as though we’re trying to create something that doesn’t benefit our community,” he added. “We used to be a much more diverse community. Our kids used to be able to live here. They don’t live here now. “People who work with us and for us cannot live here,” Emerson said. “Even the rental stock is beyond
the capacity of middle-class people to live here. We’re just running out of opportunities for us to be a diverse community and it’s embarrassing to me and I would hope that it would be embarrassing to you as well.” “It is appropriate that we take this a little bit more seriously,” Councilman Terry Sinnott said. “I would like to see this council actually make some progress on this. … I think we could do this pretty easily and put a feather in our cap for moving forward.” “We have an aging senior population that will need help to age in place,” Councilman Dwight Worden said. “We need to set this goal and make it a priority and fund it …and build a nest egg that’s big enough to make some of these opportunities realistic.” Staff members will present council with a budget and scope of work for a consultant at an upcoming meeting.

that the “struggles continue, but they are not impossible roadblocks.” Anglea said he’s seeing a rise in North County homeless youth, individuals struggling with mental health issues and opiate addiction. Still, he shared with me that positive steps are being taken to do more for those who need help. Interfaith Community Services provided services to more than 16,000 individuals in 2016, and found permanent housing for 691 households last fiscal year. Most promising, Anglea told me that support for homeless services has also increased in Carlsbad.

Simone was a smart, funny and experienced make-up artist, with an accent that let me pretend I was in a Paris fashion house. And did I mention she was about my age?

Council members stressed that they have no control over what occurs onsite at the state-owned facility. KAABOO received four complaints about traffic and two regarding ride-hailing services. Additionally, there
were five positive calls about the noise-reduction efforts. City staff made four recommendations to improve the event in the future.To better direct traffic, signage should be added along Jimmy Durante Boulevard approaching the main gate, preferably positioned above the roadway for motorists to see. An enhanced plan is needed to accommodate ride-hailing services. Off-site parking lots should be added. Traffic control flaggers should be positioned at Camino del Mar and 15th, 13th and 11th streets to facilitate the continuous flow of traffic through the traffic signal and stop signs at the end of the event. KAABOO Del Mar 2017 is scheduled for Sept. 15-17.

I don’t know if it gets better than that.” President and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, Chuck Day, is grateful for all the hard work the ROMP 2016 executive committee has done. In the past six years, Day described Whitworth as going above and
beyond in her support for the House. “Her first year as ROMP chair helped establish it as one of the county’s premier charitable fundraising events, and Fé has helped make all of our ROMP galas a financial success,” Day said. “We are truly grateful to both Fé, and her husband, Ralph, for all their work on behalf of our House to elevate our cause to others in the community.” For more information about the ROMP Gala please visit RMHCSD.org/ ROMP.
is currently operated out of a trailer by Interfaith. The future Hiring Center, which is set to open in early 2017, is located close to the existing Carlsbad homeless shelter (La Posada de Guadalupe), and may provide a number of services for homeless and low-income Carlsbad residents, including housing assistance, computer training, food distribution and job skills. The city of Carlsbad has also recently increased its annual financial support for the Alliance for Regional Solutions’ North County Bridge Housing program, a 538-bed shelter network which previously operated in the winter months, but which now operates year-round. What more can North County cities do to help the homeless, particularly when it comes to first-responders? Anglea told me that increases in local funding
and staffing for homeless outreach teams would be a plus, as well as psychiatric emergency response teams. I ended my phone call with the sense that important work is being accomplished across North County to meet the needs of our homeless population, maybe not with the same level of publicity or attention the city of San Diego receives, but accomplished nonetheless. Still, there is always more that can be done, particularly from us, the everyday residents, who want to make a difference in our community and the lives of others.

I needed and matched it perfectly. I couldn’t stop giggling. I felt 16 again and was a sucker for all the personal attention. Fortunately, Rene is a woman of honor and only sold me what I knew I would use. I walked into the sunshine feeling quite presentable, and I even had eyebrows, for a change. It was fascinating what can be done with a little tint and a little brush, in the right hands. I now continue to hone my skills each morning. My 10,000-times magnifying mirror is a harsh mistress. I think I’m managing, but keep waiting for
someone to ask if I’m feeling poorly, or am going to clown college. But if no one notices your makeup, you know you are doing it right. The lesson from the fancy-schmancy John Robert Powers beauty course my mother sent me to at age 13, still rings in my ears. “We don’t make up. We make down … now sit up straight and cross your ankles.”

RANCHO SANTA FE — When Rancho Santa Fe resident, Adrienne Falzon, officially ended her East Coast book tour, she jumpstarted her West Coast tour at Warkwick’s in La Jolla on Oct. 2. Warkwick’s continues to champion its “Weekend with Locals Program,” and invited Falzon to present her newest children’s book “Selfish Sally.” This is her third children’s book. Falzon shared that when “Selfish Sally” was released in May, she made a beeline to Vero Beach, Fla., to begin her book tour and described it as an “exciting week.” Falzon was looking forward to her first event at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in Melbourne, Fla., but Mother Nature had other plans. A fierce rainstorm pummeled the area and the event was canceled. “It never let up. It was absolutely torrential with lightning and thunder,” she said. “I felt so sad, since I really looked forward to seeing everyone, but, as we know, there are some things we can’t control, no matter how perfect the plans seem.” According to Falzon, the rest of the week was much better. The weather was more cooperative and she appeared on the Rhett Palmer Live Radio show and had a sidewalk signing in Cocoa Beach. Falzon then headed to Southampton, N.Y., where she and her family spend their summers. “I had several bookstore signings as well as a visit to the Bridge-

The 1975’s recently released second album, “I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It,” marked the second time the band had reached No. 1 on the album chart in the band’s home country of the United Kingdom.

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild hosted a private reception at The Rancho Santa Fe Library for its member exclusive author talk. During the Sept. 27 event, guests welcomed Jay McInerney who talked about his newest novel, “Bright, Precious Days,” which is the third piece of his trilogy. The trilogy first began with “Brightness Falls,” followed by “The Good Life.” McInerney admitted that when he first wrote “Brightness Falls,” he really never thought about it being a trilogy.
“But I always liked the idea of writing a trilogy,” he said, noting how the characters could be followed over time. Before McInerney began his author talk, Susan Appleby, the executive director of the Library Guild shared how their author talks have been in existence for the last five years. While thanking Warwick’s for their partnership, Appleby also thanked its longtime sponsor Donald E. Johnson of Wells Fargo Advisors.

what people were going to think…It was a different experience because it was about the album. It wasn’t my ego. It wasn’t about me. It was about this thing that I’d made doing so well.” That sort of sense of
satisfaction is something Healy said he always felt he would one day get to experience. But the group had its share of disappointments in the decade after Healy, drummer George Daniel, guitarist Adam Hann and bassist Ross MacDonald — all students at Wimslow High School in Wimslow,
a town in Cheshire, England — formed the group. “We were 13 when we started this band,” Healy said. “We grew up together, and we f****d up together and all of our social groups were based around the band. We were a band, like a band of people, like bound together.

OCT. 14, 2016 and Healy admits the band’s influences were too obvious in its early music and it took time to find a musical identity, which is based in creating a pop sound that blends an array of styles, including electronica, 80s-ish synth-pop, soul and funk. “That’s what defines our music, the fact that we literally don’t care about stuff like genres and these kind of things,” he said. The fact that the 1975 was starting to find its voice was apparent over four EPs released between 2012 and spring 2013 that spawned a pair of U.K. hit singles, “Sex” and “Chocolate,” that helped set the stage for the emphatic debut of the self-titled album in that country. The way the 1975 blends an array of styles into its songs has indeed become its defining signature. The “I Like It…” album especially sounds like the work of a band that was bursting with musical ideas and decided to pack as many styles, sounds and ideas into the songs as possible. Rock, pop, electronica, ’80s-ish synth-pop and funk all figure into the mix. That makes the album one that takes a few
listens to digest and make sense of the sonic clutter that is built into the songs. Still, as the chart-topping debuts of “I Like It…” suggests, there’s enough immediacy to songs like “Love Me,” “She’s American” and “Somebody Else” to draw one into the album and prompt further listens to ferret out the charms of each song. Healy said the band has featured a number of songs from “I Like It…,” in its shows to promote the album. Interestingly, though, he said songs from the group’s four EPs might also figure prominently in the show. “My heart lies a lot in the EPs, and it’s not to take anything away from the first album,” Healy said. “I think after two years of touring that (first) album, and the EPs never really, I supposed, we never really toured them the way we did the first album. Now, our shows are about engaging and it being real and it being live, and I suppose that I really believe in this set. So even if you come to the show and you don’t know as many songs as you would do if was just (featuring) the first album, it’s still a more believable show.”
