On December 6th, the Hidden Meadows Community Foundation hosted its inaugural Toys for Tots and Car Show event, bringing the community together for a festive morning of fun, giving, and celebration. Held from 10 a.m. to noon
Manhandling the Monster tree…
Oh, Christmas tree, OH!!!
By Linda Collins-Mitchell / Resident
I am not one to decorate the inside of my house for the holidays. You’ll see a few items here and there. What I do like to do is decorate outside in unique ways. I put ornaments in my pencil tree and sometimes in the rosemary, hang oversized ornaments in the jacaranda tree in the middle of my driveway. And, for the last two years, put a Christmas tree on the driveway for all to see!
Now this isn’t just any tree. It is 20-25 ft. tall cut fresh from my yard. Pine trees seem to grow like weeds, so I now have my own tree farm!
The Escondido Creek Conservancy Closes Escrow on Two Key Properties: White Atterbury and Elfin Acres
Land Parcels Will Help Protect Regional Wildlife Corridors in North San Diego CountyHundreds of acres of land in North San Diego County are now protected in perpetuity by The Escondido Creek Conservancy (Conservancy) following the recent acquisition of two key properties: the White-Atterbury property, which extends from Harmony Grove into San Marcos, and the Elfin Acres property in Elfin Forest.
Hidden Meadows Turkey Trot Rings in the Season
By Michelle Zipse / Resident
Thanksgiving morning in Hidden Meadows began with a beloved tradition: the annual Turkey Trot, now in its 13th year and as spirited as ever. At 8 a.m., more than 100 local residents gathered in front of
the Market, filling the parking lot with cheerful chatter and a lively holiday buzz. With clear skies and a comfortable 70-degree morning, conditions were perfect for the community walk around the scenic Boulder Oaks Golf Course.
These acquisitions represent critical components of the Conservancy’s Connecting Conservation Corridors Campaign, which aims to link fragmented native habitats so wildlife can survive in an increasingly developed region.
The purchase of these properties was made possible through nearly $7 million in state and federal grants awarded to the Conservancy by the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB), as recommended by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The acquisitions reflect an ongoing partnership among the Conservancy, the State of California, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which provided half of the funding through Section 6 of the Federal Endangered Species Act.
“We are thrilled about the preservation of the White-Atterbury and Elfin Acres properties. These acquisitions have been years in the making,” said Ann Van Leer, Executive Director of the Conservancy. “Purchasing and protecting these properties will create new opportunities for outdoor education and community engagement, and ultimately ensure the survival of rare and threatened species in the Escondido Creek watershed for future generations.”
The 160-acre White-Atterbury property connects Conservancyprotected lands in Harmony Grove with those in the City of San Marcos, including the notable land-
mark Frank’s Peak. The 96-acre Elfin Acres property is bordered on three sides by the Conservancy’s 910-acre Keithley Preserve and includes nearly two miles of Escondido Creek. Both properties contain a diverse range of native habitats, including southern mixed chaparral, coastal sage scrub, riparian zones, and seasonal wetlands, and support rare and sensitive species such as the coastal California gnatcatcher, southwestern pond turtle, and western spadefoot toad.
Next steps for these sites include integrating them into the Conservancy’s land management system, engaging neighbors and community partners, and developing a sustainable habitat management plan for each property. Until that is completed, the Conservancy invites the public to join regular hikes and restoration events throughout the year to help enjoy and care for its preserves. Register in advance on Eventbrite.
Established in 1991, the mission of The Escondido Creek Conservancy is to preserve and restore the Escondido Creek watershed. Flowing from the mountains above Lake Wolford in Escondido to the San Elijo Lagoon and shores of Encinitas and Solana Beach, the Escondido Creek watershed encompasses over 75 square miles of land in North San Diego County. The Conservancy’s vision is to serve as a model of vibrant urban communities and viable natural ecosys-
HIDDEN MEADOWS: The Beginning Community Spotlight: A Life Rooted in Hidden Meadows —
Harlan Gruenstern
By Michelle Zipse / Resident
Hidden Meadows is known for its scenic views and strong sense of community, but it is the people who have lived here from the very beginning who truly define its character. One such resident is Harlan Gruenstern, an original homeowner whose story is closely woven into the history of Hidden Meadows itself.
Harlan moved to Hidden Meadows in 1974, at a time when the neighborhood looked very different from what residents see today. In those early days, there were only about 10 homes along Meadow Glen Way East. Harlan built his own home, becoming one of the original owners and helping shape what would eventually grow into the thriving community we now enjoy.
Having relocated to California in 1972 from Minnesota with his wife, Elaine, Harlan quickly

Local Business Spotlight: Orion Broadband Cable Keeps Hidden Meadows Connected
Michelle Zipse / Resident
In an age when customer service often feels automated and impersonal, one local company is proving that a hometown approach still matters. Orion Broadband Cable, a family-owned business based right here in Hidden Meadows, has been quietly providing reliable cable, internet, and phone service to the community for more than three decades.
Founded in 1990, Orion Broadband Cable is owned and operated by John Santoff and his wife, Karen Soriano—both well-known and active members of the Hidden Meadows community. Their long-standing presence in the area is reflected in how they do business: with a strong focus on personalized service and quick response times.

fell in love with the state—a familiar story for many who arrive and decide to stay. The couple married in 1967 and shared 44 happy years together. During those early years in Hidden Meadows, the community revolved largely around golf. Boulder Oaks was central to daily life, and Harlan was among those who enjoyed spending time on the course when it truly defined the neighborhood’s identity as a golf community.
When Harlan first arrived, the clubhouse had just been completed, and the golf course extended on both sides of Mountain Meadow Road, making it longer than the layout resi-
One of the standout features of Orion Broadband is something many customers say is increasingly rare—you always reach a real person when you call. There are no contracts, and service is offered on a simple month-to-month basis, giving customers flexibility and peace of mind. For Hidden Meadows residents in particular, service calls are handled quickly, often with a technician on-site within about an hour if a repair is needed.
Orion Broadband currently services approximately 40 percent of the Hidden Meadows area, along with Escondido, Rimrock, Champagne Village, parts of Vista, and Rancho Santa Fe. Despite this broad reach, the company maintains a strong local feel, treating customers like neighbors rather than account numbers.

dents know today. He also remembers the construction of the condos around 1974 or 1975—units that originally sold for about $15,000, a reminder of just how much the area has changed over the decades.
Professionally, Harlan built an impressive career in finance. A graduate of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, he earned his degree in accounting and went on to retire as the Chief Financial Officer of Take a Break Service. The company focused on snack machines, with its largest revenue stream coming from ATM machines—now an everyday convenience but once a growing innovation. His career required fre-

My newest hobby is learning about plants native to our unique microenvironment here in Hidden Meadows. Some native plants are extremely hard to propagate. One of those is Mission Manzanita (which, by the way, is not a true manzanita). Mission Manzanita does not readily propagate from seed by nature. It is a very durable plant and is extremely long-lived. Therefore, it does not need all its seeds to germinate. The seeds are inside a hard shell that is covered with a bright red berry. To propagate from seed, this hard shell needs to be stratified or scarified in some way. I’ve been told that you might plant one hundred seeds and get just one plant. Reading online I found two recommendations. One is to burn pine
quent travel, but Hidden Meadows remained home.
Today, Harlan is a familiar and friendly presence in the neighborhood. Known as a good citizen of Hidden Meadows, he can often be seen out walking daily, enjoying the community he has been part of for more than 50 years. Residents who pass him by are encouraged to stop, say hello, and perhaps hear a story or two about what life was like when Hidden Meadows was just beginning.
Harlan Gruenstern’s journey is a reminder of how far the community has come—and how important the people who helped build it continue to be.

in the HomeSmart parking lot, the event offered a variety of activities designed to delight attendees of all ages. The event featured the Toys for Tots toy drive, car show and a mini-craft market in the HomeSmart office. There was also a variety of meet-and-greets with Santasaur, a fun and friendly dinosaur dressed in holiday spirit, Fire Station #3 and the marines helping with the toy drive.
The Toys for Tots drive collected 11 boxes of toys. We had two marine representatives in their “dress blues” assisting with the toy collection and organization of the boxes. Market Deli provided a light
breakfast with a hot cocoa station for those who donated a toy. Kids enjoyed a dedicated activity station, where they could participate in crafts and games, making the entire event engaging and memorable for families. Vickey Ciarlanti did a fabulous job organizing the successful toy drive within our community.
Within the HomeSmart offices, there was a mini-craft fair. The fair included jewelry by Lisa’s Beading, body products (soaps, essential oils) by Mihaly Meadows, handmade resin art & crafts by MJ2 Handmade Creations and bakery and candy items from Sweet Cheek
Homestead. Those attending the toy drive and car show were able to do a little holiday shopping while attending the car show and toy drive.
The event also included a vibrant car show, showcasing a variety of classic and specialty vehicles that drew admiration from car enthusiasts and spectators alike. There were 64 vehicles that participated in the car show. Attendees had the chance to view the cars, chat with owners, and enjoy the community atmosphere. There were five differ-
ent prize categories in which the attendees could cast a vote for their favorite cars and the winners were:
Most Festive: won by Chrissie Roden Preston – 1960 Corvette, Honorable mention to Rob Phillips - Rat Rod Truck with Santa skeleton
Crowd Favorite: won the 1965 Impala SS
Honorable mention to the Rat Rod Monster Truck
“The Bomb”: won by Ron Stahr – M*A*S*H ambulance
Best of Show: won by 1972 El Camino
Most importantly, the event was a heartfelt ef-
fort to support Toys for Tots, with community members generously donating new, unwrapped toys to help bring holiday cheer to children in need. The first annual Toys for Tots and Car Show was a tremendous success, fostering community spirit and holiday goodwill. A big thankyou for all the volunteers that made this event successful – Michelle Z, Pat T, Vickey & Jeff C, Melissa T, Pete T, Lynn W, Paul & Doreen

The trot featured two well-placed water stations, each staffed by dedicated members of our local Fire Safety Council. Their presence— ensuring walkers stayed hydrated and safe—was warmly appreciated by participants.
This year’s event was expertly chaired by Linda Collins and her husband, Randy Mitchell, who once again demonstrated their
knack for bringing the community together. Before the walk, excitement built as three lucky participants took home door-prize bags packed with goodies donated by Hidden Meadows businesses—another reminder of how local organizations continually support one another.
One of the morning’s highlights was the appearance of former Hidden Meadows Foundation Presi-
dent, Sarah Sealey, proudly sporting the very first Hidden Meadows Turkey Trot T-shirt from 2012. Many neighbors joined her in showcasing shirts from trots past, creating a colorful, nostalgic display of community history.
As always, the Turkey Trot was more than just a walk—it was a celebration of togetherness, health, and holiday spirit. Laughter, friendly greetings, and the energy
of neighbors reconnecting set a joyful tone for the season ahead.
With another successful trot completed, the Hidden Meadows community has officially kicked off the holidays.

Issa secures Medal of Honor Language for Capt. Royce Williams
Congressman Darrell Issa of the 48th District, whose district includes Escondido and Valley Center, December 8 announced the just-finalized 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes his legislation to permit Hidden Meadows Navy Captain E. Royce Williams (Ret.) to be eligible to receive the Medal of Honor. The NDAA is expected to be approved by
the House and Senate later this week, before heading to the White House for President Trump’s signature.
“Royce Williams is 100 years young, a Top Gun pilot like no other, and an American hero for all time,” said Rep. Issa. “The heroism and valor he demonstrated for more than 35 harrowing minutes almost 70 years ago

November HMWSG Dinner
By Pat Tanabe / Resident
The November Hidden Meadows Women’s Social Group Dinner was a warm and festive celebration hosted at the stunning home of Svitlana Bailey. Taking place on a gorgeous fall evening, the event embraced the spirit of Friendsgiving, bringing the HMWSG together to share good food, and great company.
The outdoor dining area was beautifully decorated, with tables adorned with vibrant pumpkin centerpieces that perfectly complemented the season’s charm. The setting was idyllic, with the crisp autumn air and the outdoor lighting creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
Svitlana generously contributed a variety of delicious dishes, including a flavorful butter chicken that delighted the guests. Attendees brought an array of sides, salads, and desserts, turning the dinner into a true feast of flavors and textures.
The women enjoyed leisurely conversations, catching up on neighborhood news and sharing stories amid the beautiful surroundings. Guests had the opportunity to tour her home, admiring the stunning artwork and carefully curated gardens that add to the property’s charm and elegance. The combination of beautiful scenery and warm hospitality made the evening even more special.
As always, the women cherished this time together, savoring the deli-
This year’s tree was BIG! Three of us stood around it deciding how to cut it and how to haul it. We all had different ideas on where to cut it. My neighbor, Bob Zelnacki, suggested cutting high and taking a few more branches off to make it more manageable and not quite so tall. My husband, Randy Mitchell, wanted to cut it much lower so we had room to cut again if we needed to do so. My vote was in the middle of those two. But Randy had the chainsaw, so . . . . he cut low which gave us nearly two more feet of height.
Next, how to get it from there to the driveway. We tried a 3-person drag . . . not a chance! It was far too heavy. So I brought my gator over to the tree. (My gator, my favorite toy, is a 20+ year old utility vehicle for the yard and garden) We tied the tree to it and dragged it sweeping the path and knocking out some plants along the way. But it worked.
Then we stood and looked at it again. Buck Bullard and Lisa Demars joined us. Together we
cious meal and the camaraderie that makes these dinners so meaningful. The November Friendsgiving dinner at the Bailey residence was a perfect celebration of friendship, gratitude, and community—an evening to remember as the season of thanks unfolded in the heart of Hidden Meadows.

walked the tree upright, hand over hand, and onto a tree stand. But, of course, it wouldn’t stand on its own. I filled trash bags with sandy soil, we put rocks on the legs of the tree stand . . . no, that wasn’t enough. We used a couple of 1x2 boards to brace it, added 5 5-gallon buckets of water as anchors, and Randy tied the tree with twine anchors to the garage and to a tree in the front yard. We didn’t expect it would stay up long in the wind, but it was up for the moment. To our surprise, and pleasure, it never fell down!
Now to decorate this monster tree Randy got on the roof and held one end of a very long string of lights as I maneuvered around the tree to set them in place. Lisa helped put ornaments on the tree . . . as far as we could reach. The next day, Buck came over with his tractor. He and Randy suggested I could get in the bucket and he would lift me up to decorate up higher. I declined. I am not a fan of heights or taking that kind of risk. So Randy climbed in. He almost fell out once, fortu-
nately the bucket wasn’t very high at the time. He managed to decorate most of the rest of the tree . . . . very carefully!
We put the lights on every evening for about 4 hours. It was a thing to see. It was huge!
Taking it down was easy, Our niece Susan, who was here for a
visit, cut one anchor line and, down it went. We collected the ornaments and lights and cut it up to return it to nature.
I have a tree selected for next year. It is much, much smaller. I am hoping it puts on some height between now and then. Oh, Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree, won’t you please grow for me!

BOOK REVIEW
- By Lynn Clark
This is Jacqueline Winspear's last book featuring Maisie Dobbs. A best selling series since 2003 that has produced 18 novels featuring a young British girl growing up during WWI and II.
"The Comfort of Ghosts"by
Jacqueline Winspear
In this last book Maisie has started a new life with her American husband and their adopted daughter. She is confronted with a post war situation that has become one of the problems Britain is facing because so many homes were destroyed by the war. A home
she owns that survived the chaos has become inhabited by squatters.
When she enters the house she finds 4 homeless teenage children hiding. They have witnessed a murder, and fear they are being hunted not only by the killer but also by the police and the military. She feels there is more to their story then they are telling her, and that she needs to protect them until she knows why they are hiding. So when she starts to investigate the murder she enlists the help of old friends to help her hide the teenagers.
Throughout the novel the present melds with the past. In an unexpected encounter Maisie soon confronts some painful memories of losing the child she was carrying when her first husband was killed. She finds she must resolve issues in the past before she can have a future with her new husband.
I thought the author did a nice job of putting together a thoughtful ending for the fans of this series. Several months ago I assumed the last book was "Sunlit Weapon", but obviously I was wrong. I like Winspear so I will continue to follow her, and I am sorry to see this series end.
Rain Dampens Seller’s Faire, but Local Vendors Still Shine
By Michelle Zipse / Resident
The community’s much-anticipated Seller’s Faire, scheduled for Sunday, November 16, was unfortunately washed out after steady rain made it impossible to safely hold the event. This year’s final Faire had a full slate of more than 60 vendors ready to set up, making the cancellation all the more disappointing for organizers, neighbors, and small businesses alike
While the weather didn’t cooperate, it’s worth celebrating some of the standout vendors who brought talent, creativity, and community spirit to Seller’s Faires throughout the past year.
One of the most eye-catching booths this past year belonged to Penny’s Plants, whose artistic flair drew crowds at every event. Shoppers were greeted by lush staghorn ferns, whimsical air plants, and elegant faux succulents arranged in vibrant Talavera pottery. Penny also showcased hand-crafted crystal and glass sun catchers, along with greeting cards featuring her own nature photography—all pieces that reflected her love of the natural world.
Another favorite, Bernadette Carvalho, impressed attendees with her handcrafted greeting cards and intricate paper designs. Each piece was a true one-of-a-kind creation, earning her a loyal following among neighbors looking for heartfelt, personal gifts.
From Vista, Pure Passion Jams and Nut Butters offered visitors a delicious lineup of sugar-free jams, fresh-baked breads, and nut butters. Their locally made, small-batch products stood out for both quality and creativity.
Crowds also loved Double Eagle, a vendor specializing in handmade goat milk soaps, lotions, and body products. The company’s name honors its owners—two retired Navy nurses, both Captains—
whose dedication to their craft is evident in every item they create.
With the 2025 season now officially wrapped, attention turns to the year ahead. The next series of Seller’s Faires will begin in 2026, with dates still to be announced. The first Faire of the year is expected to take place in April. Residents are encouraged to stay tuned to this paper for updates as planning continues.
For neighbors interested in getting more involved—whether as volunteers, vendors, or helping hands— organizers welcome community participation. Reach out anytime at hmsellersfaire@gmail.com to learn how you can join in.
These events thrive because of the people who show up, pitch in, and cheer each other on. So as we close out the year, we invite you to come meet your neighbors, support local makers, and help keep the spirit of Hidden Meadows alive and well.
We wish everyone a joyful holiday season and a warm, hopeful welcome to 2026 To learn more about community programs, visit the Hidden Meadows Foundation at HiddenMeadowsFoundation.org
NO MORE NEWSPAPER?
By: Hidden Meadows Community Foundation
Hidden Meadows/Rimrock is in danger of losing a treasured local resource and we are soliciting your support to ensure that doesn’t happen. Recently we had a meeting with the publishers of the Hidden Meadows News and learned that additional advertisers and contributors are necessary for the paper to remain financially viable and avoid a decision to terminate publication of our local dedicated edition. We are hoping that the community will be able to step up and help.
The history of a community publication in Hidden Meadows dates back to December 1987, published by the Valley Roadrunner, when the Meadows Messenger (later called the Mountain & Meadows Messenger) was first distributed. Beginning in 1995 the Messenger was replaced with the ARO Meadowlark which continued publication until December 2016 when it was dissolved, and responsibility transferred to the Hidden Meadows Community Foundation (HMCF). At that time, the Foundation approached Roadrunner Publications who had been serving the neighborhood since 1974 with its flagship publication the Valley Roadrunner, and the dedicated Hidden Meadows News that we know today became available to community residents.
For advertisers, the Hidden Meadows News presents an opportunity to bring your message directly to over 1,500+ homes in Hidden Meadows/ Rimrock. Whether your offering is a major product or business, or simply a local service, the News provides a forum where “neighbors can talk to neighbors”. Given that you are reading this article you know that the paper gets “eyeballs”.
SUBMIT CONTENT FOR HMN
Deadline for local article submission: 26th of the month for the next issue. Photographs submitted for publication should be hi-resolution, unmodified originals, hi-res/300dpi. We cannot accept photos taken from social media sites such as Facebook.

Depending on what your message for local residents is the paper has an offering that will fit your needs. For more information on advertising you can contact Joshua Sibelius, Advertising Manager at (760) 297.2900 or Advertising@HiddenMeadows.News. Even if you personally don’t have an advertising requirement you might have a friend, neighbor or business associate who does. If that is the case, please pass this information on. While perhaps not as dire as the need to enhance revenue, the paper can also use additional content. If you have a desire to try your hand at authorship (or are already an experienced writer) the Hidden Meadows News might be a great place to take your first shot. All content that will be of interest to local residents is candidate for publication. Whether it’s a story about club events, hobbies, places you’ve visited, food/recipes, or whatever, consider sending it in to share with the community. Articles should be submitted to our local editor at LocalEditor@HiddenMeadows.News
(Note, depending on the volume of submissions, not all articles may fit into a particular edition. Best efforts will be made to ensure that all relevant material is published.)
We hope this article is not perceived as simply a solicitation for advertising sales because it’s not that. We are talking about the survival of a small part of our community. The paper has never been a huge money maker, and it never will be. The publishers have always been generous, providing a no cost forum for us to share information about the community with the community, but that can’t continue if the paper runs at a loss. Your assistance in bringing in additional advertising can help avoid that outcome. Thank you for your continued support for our community.
