    The Huntington

    Beach Historical

    Societys CIVIL

    WAR DAYSa fascinating Living

    History, complete with Battle

    Reenactments. The event was Located

    near Huntington Central Library at 7111

    Talbert, There were campsites for the

    Union and Confederate soldiers and

    their supporters as well as Sutlers

    (merchants), tasty food & beverages and

    battlefields, which without telephone

    wires or modern sights to interfer, really

    persuade you that youre in the 1860s.

    It was an awesome feeling,

    literally stepping back in time as you

    walk along the trail seeing everyone

    dressed in authentic-looking era clothes.

    All participants are playing roles like

    blacksmith, undertaker, soldier, cook,

    musician, seamstress, bookselleryou

    name it, its there. Its like youre in the

    middle of a major movie being filmed.

    And it seems as if

    youre in Central

    Casting (instead of

    Central Park).

    Seldom do you geta chance like this,

    to stroll through

    history, smell the

    eggs being cooked

    over open fires, see

    actual authenic-

    type battles take

    place between

    North and South

    infantry and

    artillery. You heard

    cannons blast as

    smoke fogs the battlefield. You'd hear

    the drums and fife, and shouts of

    command as battlers maneuver to fight

    for victory.

    Believe it or not, President Abe

    Lincoln was even there presenting his

    famous Gettysburg Address.

    Thank you to Huntington Beach

    Civil War Days Chair Kelly Rivers, her

    son Darrell and her Mother Maureen in

    addition to the participants/volunteers.

    I'd also like to mention that Huntington

    Beach City Manager Fred Wilson and

    Huntington Beach City Attorney

    Jennifer McGrath attended the event.

    This amazing event is yearly and is

    FREE. All refreshment proceeds

    benefited The Huntington Beach

    With the popularity

    of coffee drinks

    in downtown

    Huntington Beach it only

    makes sense that a city of

    enough to support another

    downtown coffee house

    serving the needs of coffee

    lovers. Delicious brews, a

    sandwich or two, croissants,

    pastries, bagels, and an atmosphere

    where you can comfortably check your

    email while on the road in Surf City are

    offered at a new shop just around the

    corner from the Main Street Starbucks.

    The grand opening of Sertinos in

    Huntington Beach (directly across the

    street from Shorebreak Hotel) on 5th

    Street, provides downtown residents and

    visitors another coffee house and

    sandwich shop similar to Coachs Deli

    around the corner on Olive.

    Roasted Red Pepper Pann: $8.99

    (also try Tuna, Italian Chicken or Grilled

    Pizza Panini)

    Recently, Maya Angelou was

    interviewed by Oprah on her

    70th birthday. Oprah asked

    her what she thought of growing

    older. And, there on television, she

    said it was 'exciting...'

    I agree. Whether it is body parts

    or brain cells... aging affects them all.

    Maya and me agree that no matter

    what happens, or how bad it seems

    today, life does go on, and it will be

    better tomorrow.'

    'We've learned that you can tell a

    lot about a person by the way he/she

    handles these three things: a rainy

    day, lost luggage, and tangled

    'We've learned that regardless of

    your relationship with your parents,

    you'll miss them when they're gone

    from your life.'

    'We've learned that making a

    'living' is not the same thing as

    making a life.'

    'I've learned also that life

    sometimes gives you a second

    chance.'

    'I've learned that you shouldn't

    go through life with a catcher's mitt

    on both hands; you need to be able to

    throw some things back...'

    'I've learned that whenever I

    decide something with an open heart,

    I usually make the right decision.'

    'We've learned that even when I

    have pains, I don't have to be one.'

    'I've learned that every day you

    should reach out and touch someone.

    People love a warm hug, or just a

    friendly pat on the back...'

    'I've learned that I still have a lot

    to learn..'

    'I've learned that people will

    forget what you said, people will

    forget what you did, but people will

    never forget how you made them

    feel.'

    BILL RORICK: I am a common senseconservative who has grown frustrated with

    many of our elected officials. In general I think

    politicians have forgotten that they are public servants forthe people they represent and not some kind of royalty. Iam running because I truly want to limit the size ofgovernment and keep taxes and fees to a minimum.

    SHAWN ROSELIUS: I am running forHuntington Beach City Council because I care

    about the community and I am concerned about

    the future of the city. I think the city is spending money it

    doesnt have on projects it doesnt need. My supporters willprobably be the young, environmentally concerned, fiscallyconservative voters although I hope to represent a wide varietyof the residents of Huntington Beach. I hope to win a seat on thecouncil by running a grass roots campaign and showing people

    that I am different than the usual city politician. I have good ideas

    and am excited to work for the people of Huntington Beach.

    JOE CARCHIO: I would very much like theopportunity to finish the job I started four

    years ago. I was elected four years ago by doingwell with the voters in every part of HB and would hope todo the same. I am the only incumbent running andExperience does matter these days with the verycomplicated issues facing our town.

    NORM WESTWELL: I enjoy publicservice and giving back to our great

    community. I enjoy a broad base of supportfrom community members and especially those whodesire a smaller, leaner, less costly government. I intendon winning a seat on the HB Council the same way Iwas elected to the position of Trustee for the OceanView School District; by winning the confidence of the

    electorate and securing more votes than my opponents.

    BILLY OCONNELL: I am running for theHuntington Beach City Council because I wantto make a difference in my community. I believe

    each one of us should do their part to make Huntington Beacha better place. As a councilmember I know I can help shape apositive future for our city and our children. I believe my get

    things done attitude combined with my unique experience willbe valued by the voters. I plan on taking that message directly

    to our community and believe they will support my goals.

    JIM KATAPODIS: I am running for CityCouncil because I want to preserve the quality oflife we enjoy in Huntington Beach. I am a strong

    advocate of managed growth and responsible government.My top priority is to ensure that police and fire departments

    keep our city safe. I do not want Hunt ington Beach to fall victim to what happened to other cities where unethicalofficials mismanaged public funds. Good governmentrequires the participation of honest, informed and involvedcitizens. I am always inclined to give back to my community

    and have realized that my time to serve is now.

    DAN KALMICK: I am running for CityCouncil in order to bring a voice to the

    average resident of the city who does not

    support the irresponsible development that the

    city has gone through in recent years. I will bring

    support from SE HB, NE HB, mobile homeowners,downtown residents, open space supporters andyounger voters. I also will gain the support of the local workers as well as the fire and police departments.My large youthful volunteer base and a reasonableamount of money will help get my message to

    residents of the city.

    HEATHER GROW: Why am I running forHuntington Beach City Council? The

    answer is simple: I love Huntington Beach. I

    love the people; our culture, our beaches, and everythingabout it. In fact, I want to help preserve its distinctivecharacter as a beautiful, fun and safe place to live. I willdraw support from like-minded citizens who loveHuntington Beach and want someone in office who willlisten to their needs. I expect to win by reaching out to

    the community and personally sharing my message.

    WILLIAM GRUNWALD: Like many otherresidents of Huntington Beach, I have

    become increasingly more upset over the

    disconnect between elected officials and the

    constituents they claim to serve.While many residentsof our community have been devastated by the recenteconomic recession, government in general seems to beproceeding on a business as usual basis. During mycampaign, I hope to connect with others in the community

    who understand that change is needed.

    BRUCE J. BRANDT: I am running as itseems right for me and as a 30+ year HB

    resident. I want to contribute my experience tothe council. I expect to be supported by conservatives andthe ~ 14,000 who voted for me in 2008 for my first run.

    CONNIE BOARDMAN: I served on thecouncil from 2000-2004 and was Mayor in 2003.

    I did not run for re-election in 2004, but now am

    running again because this council simply does not

    respond to the concerns of the residents. Whether indowntown, the southeast, or at Bolsa Chica the currentcouncil has demonstrated that special interests matter more

    than the voices of the residents. I will win one of the openseats because I have run a successful campaign in the past, andcan do it again. Plus, I am running as part of Team Huntington

    Beach! Planning Commission Chair Blair Farley, FormerPlanning Commissioner, Joe Shaw and I are running together

    to make the council more responsive to our residents.

    JOHN VON HOLLE: I am running because Ihave 36 years of city government experienceto draw from. I worked for the City of Huntington

    Beach, in Public Works Engineering and 28 years of thattime was in the Public Works Development Section workingon City and private development projects. I also negotiatedunion contracts with the City of Huntington Beach. Thisexperience has given me the knowledge on how the City ofHuntington Beach does business. Because I have so much tooffer to the citizens of our community, I havent thought ofany one group I want to draw support from but hope toreceive support from every Huntington Beach resident that

    wants to see change in our City government.

    LANDON FICHTNER: Im running forHuntington Beach City Council because as an

    atmospheric and oceanic scientist I feel that

    Im a great bridge between the corporate

    development that the city needs, and the

    environmental responsibility that we all share as

    residents of a coastal community. Any resident that wants to see our city develop with a strong master plan, that infuses physical responsibility, environmental

    considerations, commercial interests, and a strong tourismfocus will find that Im the best man for the job.

    BLAIR FARLEY: I am running for Council toadvocate for the people of Huntington Beach

    so that I can bring together the needs of

    residents, business and property owners to find

    solutions that will make our City an amazing place to

    live and work as well as for our visitors to shop and

    play. I will seek solutions that balance residential quality oflife and community needs. I will not go along with the

    special interests that seek to maximize their own interestsover the good of the whole community. I expect to win with the support of those who want the Council to

    represent them, along with hard work and the right ideasabout how to move forward.

    FRED SPEAKER: I am running for HBCity Council to serve the people of HB.

    Specific knowledge and past experience onmajor local issues will help me deal with present andfuture issues. I love this place and would expect to drawsupport from all areas of the community.

    JOE SHAW: I am running to give ourneighborhoods, residents and local

    businesses a greater voice at city hall. Myexperience as a business leader downtown, my citycommission experience and my communityinvolvement plus my passion for promoting our city,make me the best choice for City Council. I will use my

    abilities to solve budget issues creatively, stand up forsmall business, create jobs, and promote sustainabilityof city resources. The city needs to remove obstacles tosuccess, not create them. I will win because I have anexperienced campaign team, a large group of well- trained and seasoned volunteers, as well as wide

    support from small business leaders, support fromneighborhoods throughout Huntington Beach,environmental and other community organizations.

    ERIK PETERSON: I decided to run forHuntington Beach City Council to try and

    help my city government become better

    stewards to its citizens. Im tired of hearing politiciansdebating on whether to take a little more money or a lot

    more money from people to finance theirs or previouspoliticians bad decisions. I hope to draw support from like-minded individuals who want Huntington Beach to remaina pristine California beach community that doesnt look atits residents as an endless cash source. I feel the best wayto win a Council seat is to continue getting out and talking

    to people. As citizens, our voices and actions are heard theloudest locally. Lets work together to fix our city.

    ANDRISSA DOMINGUEZ: It would be adisservice to the residents of Huntington Beach

    for me to answer some of the questions when I

    do not possess all the necessary facts.

    BARBARA DELGLEIZE: I am running forHB City Council because I have spent the last

    36 years of my life working, living and playing

    in HB. Our city has transformed from a sleeping beachtown into a vibrant, eclectic amazing city it is today. I want to keep it that way and improve it. I expect to draw thatsame base of people who have come to appreciate thequality of life they have come to expect living in HB.Important core services police, fire and upgrades to our

    community infrastructure such as sewers, sidewalks, roadsand a sold tax base to pay for these vital services. I expectto win by connecting with the people I just described.

    MATTHEW HARPER: I will compete for avote from every ballot cast from Huntington

    Beach in the General Election. With threemembers of the City Council ineligible to run for re-election due to term limits, there will be a significant loss of

    experience. If elected, I would put my academic,professional, and political experience to work for the City

    of Huntington Beach.

    WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?Why are you running for Huntington Beach City Council, what sectors of the electorate do you

    expect to draw support from, and how do you expect to win one of the available Council seats?

    An 87-year-old

    Oregon State

    U n i v e r s i t y

    graduate has donated $1

    million to its veterinary

    medicine program.

    University officials said

    Pete deLaubenfels of Corvallis

    asked the school to earmark some of

    the gift to increase public awareness

    about the impact of veterinary

    medicine on human health research.

    The native of Huntington

    Beach, Calif., did not enter college

    until 1960 at the age of 37

    after starting his career as

    a police officer.

    D e L a u b e n f e l s

    became a teacher after

    earning his degree at

    Oregon State and worked

    for 22 years in education.

    Officials said the donation is

    part of The Campaign for OSU,

    which has raised $600 million

    toward a goal of $625 million to

    support students, faculty and

    programs at Oregon State.

    On September 5, 2010, at about 3:47 in the

    morning, a witness called the

    Huntington Beach Police Department to

    report a possible burglary of the Arco gas station

    in progress at 19971 Beach Boulevard. The

    witness said the suspect had a white construction

    vehicle with tool boxes attached. A short time

    later, a police officer observed a white 1999

    Chevrolet commercial truck fitting the

    description near Magnolia and Adams. The

    vehicle attempted to flee from the police officer

    and a vehicle pursuit started. The suspect lost

    control of his vehicle and crashed into the side of

    a residence in the 20100 block of Shorewood

    Circle. The suspect fled on foot from the scene.

    The vehicle the suspect was driving was

    discovered to be astolen vehicle from the City of

    Anaheim. The residents in the house on

    Shorewood Circle were not injured.

    Huntington Beach police officers, with the

    assistance of one of our police canines, located

    the suspect hiding in the back yard of a residence

    in the 9000 block of Mediterranean. Cash and

    lottery tickets from the burglary were located

    with the suspect along with other evidence. The

    police officers arrested Joseph Samuel Fotia, a

    20 year old resident of Anaheim. He was booked

    in the Huntington Beach City Jail for burglary,

    auto theft, possession of methamphetamine, and

    drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence

    of drugs, evading police, resisting arrest, and hit

    & run.

    5/17

    BILL RORICK: I have extensiveleadership experience. I have successful

    senior executive experience at large, small,and medium sized businesses. I am a

    business friendly candidate and know whatbusinesses need to succeed so that theycan provide additional needed jobs andopportunities for our community. I have an

    engineering degree from Cal Poly (SLO)and an MBA from Pepperdine. This diverseeducation provides me with the technicaland business sense required to reviewprojects and budgets to ensure that ourvaluable tax dollars are not wasted.

    SHAWN ROSELIUS: At 18, myleadership experience is limited, but I feel

    I have the strength of character to be aneffective public servant for the people ofHuntington Beach. My age is what mostdistinguishes me from the othercandidates. I have no family or loyalties tolarge corporations so the City of

    Huntington Beach is my primary concern.

    JOE CARCHIO: I can say, Councilman Joe Carchio is the only incumbent runningfor HB City Council. Almost four years ofdealing with Staff and the citizens gives me this distinguishing characteristic keepingthe focus on the voter.

    NORM WESTWELL: I have beeninvolved in local politics since 1999. I am a

    long time HB business owner. I havereceived numerous days of instruction on good governance skills and practices. I amnow serving a 2nd term as an electedTrustee for the Ocean View School

    District. In 2008 I was elected by myfellow board members to serve as Clerkand then President for the Ocean ViewSchool District in 2009. I was endorsed byour Teachers Union. I have successfullycompleted collective bargainingagreements 4 times. I have hired a new

    Superintendent for our District and haveapproved $10.2 million dollars in budgetcuts over the last 2 years with minimalimpacts to our educational product.

    BILLY OCONNELL: As one of thefounders of Colettes Childrens home, I will bring real-world experience to CityHall. We work daily to meet our budget,

    find new sources of revenue, and deliverresults. I have been able to grow ourorganization through hard work andfocused effort. At Colettes we make a realdifference in the lives of women andchildren. I think this unique experience will

    give the voters a clear choice.

    JIM KATAPODIS: My service to thecommunity includes Second Vice Presidentof the Goldenwest Homeowners Association, Executive Board of Directorsfor the Los Angeles Police and RevolverClub, and Board of Directors for the Westminster Community Theater. I am a

    graduate of the West Point LawEnforcement Leadership program and theSupervisor Leadership Institute.

    DAN KALMICK: I started my firstconsulting company when I was 11 years

    old. After identifying a need in the market,I used my skills and knowledge to build a

    successful business at a young age. Icurrently run a small business consultingcompany; working with small businesses tooptimize their business processes using

    technology. I have worked with the Lionsclub and was an officer in the reservedivision of the Orange County Fire Authority for several years. I am not adeveloper and thusly do not feel that thesolution to every problem is to build

    something. Instead I want to look at whatother cities and municipalities have done inorder to boost revenue and cut costs.There is no reason to reinvent the wheel(read: hire a consultant) to do somethingthat someone has already done.

    HEATHER GROW: Im a real HB girl.Ive spent most of my life serving our

    community. I am very grateful to have beenable to study law and government at topuniversities and have been using what Ilearned for the past several years in variouscapacities and in many different local andinternational organizations. I am a good

    listener and have the intelligence to weigh the facts at issue and come up with adecision.

    WILLIAM GRUNWALD: Having worked in management for privateindustry most of my adult life, I understand the impact that poor planning andimplementation of projects and services

    have on the viability of the organizationitself. While a municipality cannot beoperated exactly as a business, there aremany city functions that can benefit from the application of business practices,procedures, and accountability. As a

    practicing attorney, I am also in a uniqueposition to understand the legalramifications of our decisions.

    BRUCE J. BRANDT: I am a retiredmanagement executive from the Boeingcompany in HB. Being a Program Managerfor huge government projects uses all the

    same skills needed to run city business. Iam still employed in Aerospacemanagement for my new employer, MDAin Canada. I am also owner/broker of myown real estate company in HB, active forover 25 years. I am not running against the

    other candidates per se, but rather want tobe evaluated on my qualifications, I choosenot to run a negative campaign against theothers.

    CONNIE BOARDMAN: I amcurrently the Chair of the Department ofBiology at Cerritos Community Collegeand President of the Bolsa Chica Land

    Trust. I was a council member from 2000-2004 and served as Mayor in 2003. When I was Mayor we faced a similar budgetshortfall as we do now. I havedemonstrated that I can make tough

    decisions in a fair, and rational manner while encouraging public participation in the process. For example, as Mayor Iinstituted an on-line system by which

    residents could make suggestions as towhere budget cuts should be made.

    JOHN VON HOLLE: I am the mostknowledgeable candidate on HuntingtonHarbor issues. I have an in-depthknowledge of the budget and how it isreviewed and approved. I have writtenStandard Plans and Specifications. I have

    drafted numerous policies, procedures,and city ordinances for HuntingtonHarbor, Utility Companies, and the oilcompanies. For over 15 years, I met anddiscussed many issues with past andpresent Mayors, City Council Members,

    City Administrators, and DepartmentHeads. I was the President of the MunicipalEmployees Association. The Associationlacked leadership. Because of changes Imade and the current MEA leadership itwas the first Association to agree to work

    with the City on its budget crisis.

    LANDON FICHTNER: My leadershipexperience is vast ranging from serving in the U.S. Army, being a banker at WellsFargo, teaching in LAUSD, down toproducing the nightly news. In everyposition I have been promoted forexcellence, and found myself in a

    leadership role. As a candidate for citycouncil I bring the widest array ofexperiences that combines multipleindustries, and disciplines, which allows me

    to look at problems from a variety ofdifferent angles, to create the best possible

    resolution.

    BLAIR FARLEY: I am currently servingour City as the Chairman of the PlanningCommission. My time on the Commissionhas given me valuable knowledge of howland use impacts our quality of life as well as the bottom line of the budget. I have alsoserved in the past on the 4th of July Board

    as well as working with students in thecommunity as a youth mentor & counselor.I believe that my best quality is my ability tosee a problem from all sides and work toward an equitable solution. As a PlanningCommissioner I have been called on to

    work with residents and developers toachieve a balance that preserves quality oflife and offers growth for the future.

    FRED SPEAKER: I first served on theHB Finance Baard in 1992 followed by theHB Water Task Force Committee in 1993.Time and issues dont change much dothey; budget and water issues still prevail. I

    served as the HB Chamber of Commerceliaison to the City and currently have over10 years of experience on the HB PlanningCommission.

    JOE SHAW: My record as a businessman,my knowledge of city issues and myexperience on three city commissions giveme a depth of experience and knowledge

    that our Council needs. I have served thecommunity as former mayor DebbieCook's Planning Commissioner, DevinDwyer's Public Works Commissioner and

    as Jill Hardy's commissioner on the CharterReview Commission. I first proposedclosing Main Street on Tuesday nights andmy idea became Surf City Nights. I was afounding member of the DowntownHuntington Beach Business ImprovementDistrict and a former member of the

    Huntington Beach Visitors and ConventionBureau's Public Relations Committee. Iserve on the board of the Bolsa Chica LandTrust, am a docent at Shipley NatureCenter and a member of Save Our Straysof Huntington Beach.

    ERIK PETERSON: Im a local businessowner and have successfully managed thatbusiness and other businesses for manyyears. I know how to stick to a budget and when necessary make the appropriatedecisions to keep a company healthy. Ispent six years in the Marine Corps in

    which I had to lead Marines and deal withmultiple service and agency interactions. Ihave lived in Huntington Beach for most ofmy life and want to do my part to keep itgreat.

    ANDRISSA DOMINGUEZ:It wouldbe a disservice to the residents ofHuntington Beach for me to answer some

    of the questions when I do not possess all the necessary facts.

    BARBARA DELGLEIZE: I have alwaysappreciated the different way one can

    serve where they live. I have served onnumerous local committees and boards. Ihave served on the HB InfrastructureCommittee, HB Council on Aging and the

    HB Visitors Bureau. In 2009 I served theChairman of the HB Chamber ofCommerce and as a member of the 2009HB Centennial Committee celebrating our100 years as a community. Also in 2009 I was appointed to HB Planning

    Commission. In addition, as a Real EstateBroker I have served at a State andRegional level for my industry promotingprivate property rights.

    MATTHEW HARPER: I have beeninvolved and engaged at the local, countyand state level. Voters city-wide haveelected me to three consecutive terms as a

    Trustee for the Huntington Beach UnionHigh School District, starting in 1998. TheHBUHSD serves the secondary educationneeds of the Orange County communitiesof Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach,Midway City, most of Westminster, most of

    Fountain Valley, and a portion of GardenGrove. There are over 197,000 registered voters in the HBUHSD, 65% of whichreside in the City of Huntington Beach. Iam a graduate of Huntington Beach HighSchool and earned my Bachelor of Science

    degree in public policy and management at the University of Southern California.

    LEADERSHIP & EXPERIENCEWhat leadership qualifications and experience do you have to serve on the City Council,

    and what distinguishes you from the other candidates running for this office?

    The project still requires a new coastal

    development permit and an updated agreement with

    the city, which will consider the project again on 20

    September 2010. If the project receives city approval,

    it will go to the State Lands Commission and the

    Coastal Commission for consideration.

    POSEIDON DESALINATION PLANTWhat are your views on the proposed Poseidon Resources desalination facility recently approved by the City Council. Doyou support or oppose this approval? How would you handle this issue if elected to the City Council?

    BILL RORICK: The access to affordable

    clean water is important now and will beeven more important in the future. It would

    be a great advantage to Huntington Beachresidents to have a reliable source of cleanwater. That said, it should be remembered that the name of our city is HuntingtonBeach and our clean and beautiful beach is the city's most valuable and famous asset.

    While I see some clear benefits of a localdesalination plant, I would need to havesome firm commitments and assurances interms of monetary concerns and in regards to the environmental impact on our localbeaches and air quality before I could

    support this project. I currently have someserious reservations about this project.

    SHAWN ROSELIUS: I oppose thePoseidon Resources Desalination Facilitybecause it doesnt benefit the people ofHuntington Beach. It will be harmful to theenvironment. The water will be sold toother areas. There will be minimal jobs

    created, most of which will be staffed bypeople brought in to do the work. The only thing Huntington Beach gets from the dealis a blight on our beach.

    JOE CARCHIO: Again, I am alreadyan elected official and this issue will becoming up this summer for a vote. Ibelieve that water is a critical issue for

    our homeowners. Drought is not aquestion of if, but when. Water

    management is a major part of myagenda and I will be looking at all futuresources, their cost and their efficiency.

    NORM WESTWELL: This projectwas already approved by by the HB City

    Council. A desalination plant is going tobe built. Our incompetent State andFederal leaders have declared war on"we the people" of California by turningoff our life giving water. Only a tyrannical government would deny water to its

    own people. HB is fortunate to belocated at the ocean and have a companywilling to fully fund a project, which willprovide us the life giving water we needhere in our desert community.Maintaining a fresh water supply is a

    matter of public safety, which I stronglysupport.

    BILLY OCONNELL: I support thedesalination plant and believe it will be avaluable part to our water supply future.As a councilmember, I will work to makesure Poseidon complies with theiragreements and that impacts are

    minimized during construction.

    JIM KATAPODIS: I support theDesalination Plant in Huntington Beach.This plant will create much needed jobs,provide a reliable source of water toHuntington Beach and the Orange Countyarea, and generate over $100 Million in

    revenues and benefits to our city over the

    next 30 years. As rainfall in the area hasbeen below normal and drought conditionsare likely, we need to look at alternativesources of water to sustain life.

    DAN KALMICK: With the new rulingby the state, the Poseidon plan does notlook like its going to be able to move

    forward as planned. AES will have to stopusing its open water intake by 2020. IfPoseidon wants to come back with asubsurface water intake and stop saying thatits privately funded and start talking about the real price of the water, we can start

    having a serious conversation about waterpolicy in the city. We need to focus moreon reusing the existing water we haverather than looking for new sources. Ourbig issue is irrigation of outdoor plants.Until we start to realize that pouring

    chlorinated water on plants is foolish, wewill end up wasting a valuable resource.

    HEATHER GROW: I oppose theproposed Poseidon desalinization facility inHuntington Beach and I will oppose furtherattempts of its construction. The Poseidonproject is not about cheap water. In fact the

    deal would be very costly for HB residents.Poseidon has teamed up with the biggesteyesore in town (the AES smokestacks) toconstruct a mega-million dollar facility in wetlands adjacent to SEHB homes. Theproject will cause environmental harm to

    our beaches and will negatively impact thelives of HB residents. The financial costs areuncertain because Poseidon has been less than transparent about actual costs inbuilding and maintaining the facility. Youwouldnt let your contractor build your new

    kitchen without a budget but that is exactlywhat the city council is doing with Poseidon.I strongly oppose the Poseidon project.

    WILLIAM GRUNWALD: Knowing thehistory and importance of the water supplyto Southern California, I am a supporter ofdesalinization technology for OrangeCounty which could someday provide a

    path to independence from outsidesources. That said, I have specific concerns with the viability of building a desalinationplant alongside an outdated power plant,slated for decommission in eight years.Even assuming a new source of electricity is

    brought in to power the plant, locating ithere would preclude the redevelopment of the site to less industrial usage, after thepower plant closes.

    BRUCE J. BRANDT: I strongly opposethis and if elected will do all I can to kill it. A)The company has no track record andseems no real assets. If this was such a great

    plan, Fluor and other large reputablecompanies would be pursuing. B) Attachinganything to the outdated polluting powerplant will just extend its already overdue life.

    This plant was rushed back into service,

    even though it was scheduled for upgrades,back in the Gray Davis energy crisis era.

    CONNIE BOARDMAN:While on theCity Council, I voted against this projectbecause the Environmental Impact Report was deficient, and because whileHuntington Beach would receive all the

    impacts our residents would not benefit. Water from the desalination plant wouldcost many times more than water wecurrently use. The Poseidon Company hasa very poor track record of actuallyconstructing and operating functional

    desalination plants. The Metropolitan Water Department has estimated that ifeveryone just reduced water use by 10%enough water would be saved to provide acity the size of San Diego with water.Education and conservation are key to our

    water issues here in Southern California.

    JOHN VON HOLLE: Overall, Isupport the proposed PoseidonResources desalination facility. However,there are many issues to overcome. I amconcerned about the additional power that will be needed to supply power to

    the desalination plant. The power plantburns oil to generate power and theburning of the oil creates CO2 gases andgreenhouse gases which in turn hurt theenvironment. Since the city was unableto have the AES plant reduce their CO2

    and greenhouse gases in the past, I wouldpropose a change in the CUP that wouldrequire the installation of clean-airequipment to reduce the amount ofexisting CO2 and green house gasemissions the plant is now dumping into

    the environment.

    LANDON FICHTNER: Water is themost important resource to sustain ourcurrent quality of life. As the demand for water increases, investments in watercapturing and desalination facilities mustincrease to continue to meet the needs ofan expanding community. Since the

    Southland has been suffering from aprolonged drought and our demandcontinues to increase, either facilities like the Poseidon Resource Desalination mustbe constructed, or large scale conservationsefforts need to change our way of using this

    vital resource.

    BLAIR FARLEY: I am opposed to thePoseidon Resources desalination facility thatwas approved by the Council in 2006. It isan energy intensive and expensive way togenerate water. It relies on old technologyat the AES power plant for intake water.Just this week this so called "once through"

    cooling technique used by AES has beenbanned. This project is a classic lose-lose forthe people of Huntington Beach. It brings awhole lot of environmental concerns about

    air and water quality, makes South East

    Huntington Beach more industrial, not lessand it will cost all of us more money for water through the Metropolitan WaterDistrict subsidies they have applied for. I willfight for clean air & water!

    FRED SPEAKER: As you know, welive in a desert - and this brings water. As

    long as no-one can prove it is harmful to the ocean or to the citizens ofHuntington Beach, I am in favor of it.

    JOE SHAW: Our future prosperitydepends on a clean ocean and pristinecoast. Its just not a good idea for us toput more heavy industrial uses on our

    coast. I toured the oil spill that seepedfrom the ground near the area of Atlantaand Beach with a representative of theEPA early this year, which costs millionsto clean up. It made me realize that thereare pockets of potential hazardous

    materials throughout our city. It doesntmake sense to add more heavy industrialuses in an area already severely impactedby the ASCON toxic waste site and theoutdated AES plant. We need to do more to clean up whats already there.

    Wouldnt we be better off with hotels,parks and other amenities along thecoast and not heavy industry?

    ERIK PETERSON: I support theHuntington Beach desalination facility. It willnot impact the downtown area and it will

    supply the city additional revenue withoutcost to its residence. It will make

    Huntington Beach a more self-sustainingcity by being a main source of the Countyswater supply. Thi s will eliminate or reduceour reliance on imported water fromNorthern California and the ColoradoRiver. It will sustain our city during droughts

    and times of emergency. I feel this plant willbe good for Huntington Beach.

    ANDRISSA DOMINGUEZ:It wouldbe a disservice to the residents ofHuntington Beach for me to answer someof the questions when I do not possess allthe necessary facts.

    BARBARA DELGLEIZE: From myunderstanding the Poseidon Resources is adecided issue and I support theapprovalthat being said I would want thecompany to make the facilities in best way to fit the area. To be sure the quality of

    project enhances HB long term planning on water usage and quality for generations tocome. I believe the desalination plant shouldbe a part of our future strategies along withrecycling, conservation and diversity.

    MATTHEW HARPER: Waterindependence is critical to OrangeCounty's long-term future and I support

    the proposed desalination facility as astep toward that goal.

    The Federal Housing Administration (FHA)

    currently insures 30% of all residential loans

    generated in todays real estate market. Scores of

    homeowners looking to refinance are surprised to learn

    that an FHA loan is their best option. A decrease in

    equity also means that, for many more

    homeowners, an FHA loan might be

    the only option to refinance.

    Homebuyers with less than

    20% down payment are

    also likely to look

    towards an FHA

    insured loan.

    Insuring one

    out of three loans is

    a significant jump

    up from the

    roughly four

    percent market

    share which the

    FHA had in 2006.

    Government insured

    loans are good news for

    consumers in that they areable to obtain loans that the banks might not otherwise

    make. Its also good for the banks because their loans

    are insured by the full faith and credit of the US

    Government. However, an increase in government

    loans during a real estate market which continues to

    struggle has really tightened the vice on American

    taxpayers. Along with an increase in market share

    comes an increase in defaults and default-related losses.

    Earlier this year the FHA attempted to offset those

    losses by shoring up its reserves. The FHA raised the

    premium on its funding fee which is collected at

    funding for every FHA insured loan. This Upfront

    Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP) was increased

    from 1.75% to 2.25% of the loan amount. This meant

    that consumers had to pay an additional $500 per every

    $100,000 financed directly to the FHA. On a $400,000

    loan, this meant an additional $2,000 in costs just to get

    the loan insured.

    Here we go again. Just six months after their last

    fee increase, the FHA is stating that they need more

    money from American homeowners in order to

    continue insuring loans. The

    amount of the monthly

    mortgage insurance (MIP)

    payable to the FHA for

    insuring the

    loan will

    n e a r l y

    double to

    0.90 from the

    current 0.50

    for most

    FHA insured

    l o a n s .

    Although they

    will be lowering the

    amount of the UFMIP tooffset this latest fee increase,

    most American homeowners will find that this new

    calculation will result in a higher payment on their

    mortgage.

    For example, a $300,000 FHA loan today would

    have a monthly payment at $1,636.84 (4.25% rate,

    2.25% UFMIP and 0.50% MIP). Assuming rates are the

    same when the new calculation takes effect, this same

    $300,000 loan will now carry a monthly payment of

    $1,717.83 (4.25% rate, 1.00% UFMIP and 0.90%

    MIP). The difference is $80.99 per month or $971.88

    per year. Since the FHAs monthly mortgage

    insurance typically lasts five years, this same

    $300,000 loan is likely to cost the homeowner

    approximately $5,000 more to obtain and maintain.

    Understandably the government doesnt want to lose

    any more money on bad loans, but

    even the private mortgage

    insurance companies arent

    charging this much!

    Homeowners looking for a 15

    year fixed are the only ones likely

    to benefit from this change.

    The FHA doesnt have a

    monthly insurance

    premium for most 15 year

    loans. And thats not

    scheduled to change

    under this new plan. Yet

    these homeowners are still capable of benefitting from

    the reduced UFMIP.

    The most common instances where FHA

    Financing would be considered are:

    Homeowners looking to consolidate a 1st and 2nd

    mortgage

    Loans with less than 20% equity (purchase or

    refinance)

    Homeowners looking to cash out some of the equity

    in their home

    If an individual is looking to do any of these on a30 year term, theyll want to do so before the changes

    take effect. If theyre looking to do any of these on a 15

    year term, theyll want to have everything ready to pu ll

    the trigger while rates are still at record lows. Either

    way, Individuals who relate to one or more of these

    areas should call their mortgage broker immediately.

    These changes take effect October 4th.

    BILL RORICK: The voters of Huntington Beach havealready voted to approve the Senior Center and I am not the type of politician who believes that I know betterthan the electorate. I am in favor of proceeding with theSenior Center. I would support funding of this project by

    use of the Quimby Act funds, but it would appear fromreading the Act that only a portion of the cost could becovered by these funds since it requires the percentagepaid by Quimby Act funds have a reasonable relationshipto the use of the park and recreational facilities by futureinhabitants of the related sub-division. This actual

    percentage could be argued, but it is clearly less than100%.

    SHAWN ROSELIUS: I think that instead of payingfor a new building and taking up open spaces in CentralPark we should use one of the closed schools like Kettlerand refurbish it. I oppose Measure T because I opposeconstruction in Central Park. The spirit of the Quimbyact is to improve parks for the general population. If the

    money from Pacific City Development that should beused for our parks is diverted to the Senior Center itseems that it would benefit only a select part of thepopulation rather than all of the citizens.

    JOE CARCHIO: Our Seniors are a very importantpart of this great City. We have some legal issues to dealwith and some other challenges. As a sitting member of

    the City Council it is difficult to be specificbut I can say that what ever it takes to deliver this service to ourSeniors I will be there to help lead.

    NORM WESTWELL: I was opposed to the locationin Central Park. I was opposed measure T as it wasproposed. I oppose Quimby Act funding of the project. As an elected public official, I have taken an oath touphold the law.

    BILLY OCONNELL: I supported Measure T and Isupport the construction of a new Senior Center at the

    location approved by the majority of Huntington Beach voters. I also support using the in-lieu fees for the

    project. The court ruling is an unfortunate set-back forseniors and senior services. I am hopeful that the project

    is able to proceed and the appeal overturns the ruling.

    JIM KATAPODIS: We need a new Senior Centerbecause the Rogers Center is outdated and too small tokeep up with the needs of our growing seniorpopulation. The problem is that building a new SeniorCenter in Central Park may be cost prohibitive and wemay have to look for another location.

    DAN KALMICK: The city needs a new SeniorCenter. Central Park is the wrong location. Its downhill

    (requiring stairs) and not central to public transport norwhere census data shows that seniors live. I do not feelthat building a senior center conforms to the spirit of theQuimby Act. How does a $4mil building cost the city$19mil? I agree with the courts ruling. We need to goback to the power points and the reports from when we

    discussed this issue the first time. Several schools havebecome available as well as the idea of rebuilding thecenter on its current location and moving the parking lot.Younger people got the sports complex; its time for theseniors to get a new facility. The deal wont happen as it

    is and instead of digging our heels in we need to take areal look at the situation on the field and move forwardfrom there.

    HEATHER GROW: In 2006 voters narrowly passedwhat looked like a good deal at the time-a brand newstate-of-the-art senior center located near our beautifullibrary and paid for by private funds. As time has passedhowever, this deal has become less likely to become areality. The city has lost a lawsuit over the proposed

    location, the private builder is out of the picture andfunds available to build the project are significantly less.The city should do what is best for our growing seniorpopulation: 1) drop the costly appeal and 2) look intoother options like expansion/modernization of thecurrent center or building an additional center in a

    location that wont tie up the project in lawsuits.

    WILLIAM GRUNWALD: I support Measure T as it

    was approved by the voters. As the ranks of seniorsgrow, there will be an even greater need for these types

    of facilities. The court however has taken issue to someof the provisions in the measure. Rather than continuingan expensive appeal process, the city would be betterserved by readdressing the problem areas of theMeasure and bringing them into compliance with the law.

    BRUCE J. BRANDT: I support a new senior centerbut the current plan is seriously flawed. As I stressed in

    my last campaign 2 years ago, the deal to delay park feesfor a future sole source contract to the Pacific Citydeveloper never passed the best value to the city test. Isaid it was not proper and now the courts have agreedNeed to replan the effort and do it proper this time. Thecity should drop its appeal and stop wasting more legal

    fees

    CONNIE BOARDMAN: Recently a superior courtjudge found the city acted in error in using Quimby Actfunds to finance the construction of a new senior center.I completely agree and I do not support appealing thisdecision. The Quimby Act money should be used on-site to provide a park area for the residents of the

    development, not a senior center miles away that manywould never use. Rather than constructing a huge newsenior center, the city must focus on providing servicessuch as meals on wheels, and the noon lunch program atthe current center. In the face of a multi-million dollarbudget short fall we must protect these vital servicesbefore worrying about construction of a new center.

    JOHN VON HOLLE: I support the new SeniorCenter in Central Park and the uses of the in-lieu park

    fees from Pacific City Development. I believe the citywill prevail in a new court case, because many of thegrounds citied in the first court case will be reversedonce everything is said and done.

    LANDON FICHTNER: I feel that any newconstruction on public land should be open use, and notbe for limited use or for a specific sub-group. The senior

    community needs services and amenities just like any

    other sub-group of Huntington Beach; however thisproject should be merged with other services, to create acommunity center that can be available for all. As for

    funding and court decisions, I will always follow the law of the land and dont feel that there is much room forpersonal interpretation.

    BLAIR FARLEY: I am in favor of providing service toSeniors in our community at a variety of possible locationsthroughout the City. I am opposed to using park land atCentral Park to construct this Senior Center. The PacificCity development should pay its fair share of park "in lieu"

    fees, as every other developer does and the City should then use those resources to provide recreationalopportunities for the future residents of Pacific City. Usingthose dollars through a no-bid contract to build a SeniorCenter on public open space is a bad idea. To protectagainst this in the future projects should be fully entitled

    before a Measure C vote is held.

    FRED SPEAKER: I support a new Senior Center forour residents. The current proposed location, in myopinion after considerable research, appears to be thebest. Seven neighboring cities in Orange County havelocated their Senior Centers in City Parks. This facility willeventually serve all the residents of HB, and yes, Park

    Fees should be used. A number of alternatives have beenproposed including closing the existing undersized facility,selling that valuable property and using those funds tobuild the new Senior Centersomething I proposed in1998.

    JOE SHAW:As the Pacific City project gets movedfurther and further into the future, the funding for thenew Senior Center becomes more and more suspect. But

    more importantly, in this years budget, cuts wereproposed to senior transportation and to the senior Mealson Wheels program. We cannot seriously considerspending one dollar on a new Senior Center until weknow that the programs which help our most vulnerablecitizens will not be eliminated. In tough times like these,

    there are likely more seniors going without healthy

    nutritional meals. Until our citys budget is back on track,and our senior programs are reaching everyone thatneeds them, there is no sense in talking about building a

    new Senior Center.

    ERIK PETERSON: I do not support the Senior Centerin Central Park. I did not support Measure T. I oppose thefunding of this project by Quimby Act in lieu park feesfrom the Pacific City development because it violates theQuimby Act. I support the courts ruling. I feel analternative site is what is needed

    ANDRISSA DOMINGUEZ: It would be a disserviceto the residents of Huntington Beach for me to answer

    some of the questions when I do not possess all thenecessary facts.

    BARBARA DELGLEIZE: The people of HB voted tohave the Senior Center built in Center Park. I supportthem. Having a senior center in the park would be a greatfit for them to be able to use the other services in theareas such as the HB Library, Shipley Nature Center. Itseasy access off Goldenwest Street in the center of town.

    It is vital that we have a center that can support seniorrecreational needs, transportation services and a

    community center where they can continue to socializelate into their lives. I do support the city appealing thecourt ruling to halt the project which I feel were based onerroneous findings. Yes I do support in lieu fees to

    support this development As our community has agedso has our senior population. Seniors are living longer today and continue to make last contributions to ourcommunity.

    MATTHEW HARPER: I cast my personal vote forMeasure T in 2006. I agree that Huntington Central Park,just across from Huntington Central Library, is a greatlocation for a new Senior Center. Though the issue is on

    appeal, the courts will decide how much in Quimby Actfunds may be allocated towards this public project. Oncethe funding question is resolved, the City of HuntingtonBeach should move forward in building this importantcommunity asset.
