DEL MAR — Surfing dogs from the new film “Marmaduke” appeared at the Del Mar Highlands Cinemas UltraStar premiere June 12. In partnership with the Helen Woodward Animal Center, the dogs were on site with their trainers for picture opportunities and to provide autographs, or paw-prints, for guests.

JUNE 18, 2010

RANCHO SANTA FE — Starting with the July 2 issue, the Rancho Santa Fe News will be expanding in three important areas: news coverage, prime advertising space and circulation. First, we will be adding more local news coverage and content. Second, the paper will be running a minimum of 40 pages in two sections. The addition of a second section provides space for more prime advertising positions. These include the front page of the second section, the back page and the centerfold and page two of the second section. Experience has shown that advertisers who have garnered these prime positions rarely give them up. For example, Barry Estates has held the centerfold since the inception of the Rancho Santa Fe News. “We are currently looking for charter members for these prime spots and will be offering special incentives,” Associate Publisher Chris Kydd said. Third, in addition to our exclusive distribution to Santaluz and surrounding areas, the Rancho Santa Fe News will also be mailing to all of Rancho Pacifica and 350 neighboring homeowners. “All of this makes for a great opportunity for our advertisers and is definitely the best way to reach Rancho Santa Fe and its neighboring communities,” Kydd said. For more information about these new prime advertising spaces, call Chris Kydd at (760) 436-9737, ext. 110.

Association talks electricity at Ranch’s Osuna Adobe By Patty McCormac

RANCHO SANTA FE — The June 3 meeting of the Association looked more like a Jimmy Buffet concert than a board meeting. That was because the board members had declared it “Aloha Thursday,” encouraging everyone to wear Hawaiian shirts, which all of the men did as did many members of the staff. The women also dressed appropriately. Kim Higgins wore large Hawaiian

seed beads and Deb Plummer donned a pantsuit with a tropical shirt. The mode of dress set the mood of the meeting, which was light-hearted. Three of the board members, Bill Beckman, Higgins and Tim Sullivan, have declared they have “senioritis,” with only one more Association meeting left before their terms expire on the board. Still, they did make some decisions including allowing about

$150,000 from the open space fund to be used for upgrades for the Osuna Adobe. Assistant Planner Nikki Flynn, who gave the presentation at the meeting, said the Osuna Committee wants to move ahead on updating and relocating the electric panel from the wall of the adobe, installing a fire hydrant, a backflow preventer and improving the driveway. In Flynn’s photo presentation of

the current electric panel on the adobe, it is clear it needs to be updated and relocated. “The electric will be undergrounded and away from the adobe,” she said. It will be laid in a trench and then hidden by another small wall or something similar. Director Dick Doughty asked if electricity in the adobe was necessary TURN TO ELECTRICITY ON 31
