In May our normal routine of important mat- ters such as reviewing financials, considering land- scape request, and planning our next paint cycle was upstaged by concern for safety of ourselves, our homes, and our neighbors as fire erupted not too far east of us. We opened up emergency sprinklers on the east slope as a precaution and started to review any and all steps we need to take to lessen the fire dan- ger to our community. I took calls from residents regarding fire safety procedures as well as calls from out-of-town homeowners wanting to know if their homes were still there. Fortunately for them and us, there was some smoky air, and we survived just fine. The firefighters helped us all. We had the Carlsbad weed abatement of- ficer, Monty Kalin, walk our slopes last summer and to the best of my knowledge we followed his recommendations. We will ask him to return once his schedule permits to check if there is anything else we should be doing. We've also arranged to clear roofs and gutters of debris and leaves on 33 different homes, which were noted by a quick sur- vey, as soon as this can be scheduled. Remember, you are responsible for checking gutter grooves and requesting clearing if necessary. I assure you that the board will do whatever we can reasonably do to reduce our exposure to fire danger. June is our annual meeting and elections. I hope to see you there. . * * * * * * *

Ted Johnson will be working with a homeowner to develop and install a prototype of utility closet doors. The Committee will make a recommendation to the Board whether it is a recommended design when the prototype is completed. Ted Johnson was authorized to approve an Architectural Change Request for installation of an A/C unit once it is submitted. An owner inquired about in- stalling a metal garage door. The Architec- tural Committee has asked him to investi- gate a prototype metal or fiberglass garage door that looks like the wood doors with like trim for the Committee to review.

Lakes The Lakes Committee and Wel- come Committee hosted a walk around the lakes with Ed Simpson and Pono from Santa Fe Nursery. The event was a success and approximately 30 people were in attendance. The Board approved $50.00 gift cards as a thank you to Ed & Pono for putting on a wonderful presentation.

Public Affairs Alan Newman attended the Southwest Quadrant meeting and reported that the Principal for Pacific Rim Elemen- tary School was in attendance to give a presentation. Pacific Rim is rated 10 out of 10 in top schools and peer-group school, which makes the area very desirable for new buyers. Ad-Hoc The Ad-Hoc Committee reported that Caltrans will soon hire a company to begin the design of the sound wall they are proposing to install between the I-5 and the homes on the west side of Linden. The Sea Cliff Ad-Hoc Committee will be involved with the design plans and giving their input. It was reported that out of 79 homes on the west side of Linden, 22 homes have a sound wall that was part of original construction. Caltrans should be mailing the HOA a letter sometime in June to begin the process of ed- ucation and approval. The cost for the sound wall will be paid by Caltrans; however, the maintenance and cleaning of the sound wall may be Sea Cliffs. Soon a letter will be drafted to the owners on the west side of Linden to be followed by a special meeting to discuss the sound wall options and other impacts on the community. Tennis The Tennis Committee did not have a report. Welcome - The Welcome Committee con- tinues to greet new owner/tenants. There is a new ping pong table ready for use at the Pa- vilion. Children 14 and under must be ac- companied by an adult.
Deadline for the Sea Cliff Scene is May 23, 2014.

LAKES COMMITTEE by Anne Spacie
The Lakes Walk-Around Event on Sunday, May 4 th , was a great chance for people to meet and learn about the care of our lakes. Our manager Ed Simpson and his assistant Pono led the way, de- scribing sources and culture methods for a wide va- riety of water lilies and other aquatic plants. Ed be- gan his fascinating talk in the middle of Heron Lake, where he picked a gorgeous pink lily. He de- scribed the petals, the stem, and the heavy rhizome (tuber) that anchors each plant. Its hard to believe each flower only blooms for three days. Then we proceeded to Lazy Lagoon to learn the names of other lilies and some of their origins. Some varie- ties come from a nursery in Los Angeles that works with the Huntington Gardens. Others were bred at the St. Louis Botanical Gardens, while many trace their origins to Monets garden in Giverny, France. Following the walk we enjoyed viewing live bass, mosquitofish, scuds, and damselflies caught by Pono. These aquatic creatures indicate good wa- ter quality and a healthy, balanced pond ecosystem. After the demonstrations came homemade refreshments and a chance to meet and chat. Thanks to the Welcome Committee, there were a number of new faces to add to those who really ap- preciate our beautiful, natural lakes.

LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE by Alix Szold
Last month I wrote about our drought condi- tions and on May 14 th we were all given a grave reminder of how vulnerable Carlsbad is under ex- treme weather conditions for fire risk! Our Land- scape Committee will be working closely with our Board in a most proactive way to minimize Sea Cliff's vulnerability to fire as much as possible. All residents can help by making sure their gutters are clean and if not, contacting Lindsay Management Company to put their name on the list. Also, resi- dents need to remove any dead plants or weeds from their backyards. We will be removing dead brush on our slopes on west Linden and east Lanta- na in areas under Sea Cliffs jurisdiction. Our Carlsbad fire marshal will be making recommenda- tions for us as well as those responsible for the re- maining areas of these slopes. Now that summer weather is here, we will be battling brown spots in our grass even more! Nature will dictate that all grassy areas cannot be perfect as we may wish. Our Smart Water System continues, along with our wonderful irrigation team, to prevent water waste, especially in this time of a most serious drought. The occasional larger brown patches of grass you may see at times usually reflect a problem with an irrigation valve or sprinkler heads malfunctioning. Israel, from Treebeard, is checking our irrigation system all over Sea Cliff on Monday through Friday, but due to our very expan- sive property, it is impossible to have all stations always working in an ideal fashion. Atlas Tree Company has been here these past two weeks to trim our trees and look for tree concerns. Our orchid trees by the tennis courts are healthy but do not look so as summer is not their season, so not to worry! We are postponing the planting of new trees until the fall when our weather is more favorable. The north pool perimeter plantings will fi- nally be completed by June 1 st . We are very pleased with our new magnolia tree at the north pool en- trance. The clubhouse now has a well-stocked sup- ply of Landscape Action Request (LAR) forms for homeowners to request landscape changes. Please send those to Lindsay Management Company for landscape concerns. You may also contact me with landscape issues at aszold@roadrunner.com or (760) 931-0128.

MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE by Harry Doyle
Be Kind to Your Front Gate It is the owners responsibility to repair damage to their front gate, latch, and walls. You can avoid cracks in the block walls near your front gate by following two simple precepts: Align the short latch bar with a light tap (up or down) so it enters the gate catch easily. (This may be bad for some gates because the bar may break off. If that happens, it can be welded back easily.) Also the latch can be centered by adjusting the hinge side bolts in or out at the top or bottom hinge of the gate. To avoid cracking the block wall, close the gate gently.

POOLS & SPAS COMMITTEE by Pat Leahy
If youre not a north pool user, you might not be aware that four beautiful and extremely useful blue umbrellas are now in place on the pool deck. It was time. The much appreciated but rather old and shabby neutral colored umbrellas were/are relics from the past. Actually, theyre the original Sea Cliff umbrellas, dating from 1987-ish. At that time, a young resident with a toddler and an infant offered to shop for them. (Both children have grad- uated from college by now!) She obviously knew the dangers of the sun rays on pristine baby skin. Who could say no to such a kind offer? So before long - voila! The north pool deck with its four re- tractable umbrellas instantly became a friendlier environment for swimmers and sunbathers alike. Over the years, various residents have kindly re- paired and mended specific umbrellas as needed, Linda Olson being the most recent angel of this task. The rest, as they say, is history. Enjoy using our new treasures, and please remember to retract them when you leave the pool area. The winds have been known to blow over one or more of the umbrellas. South pool users: the geese are gone! Even though this years ducklings havent all made the scene yet, pool committee members realized the ef- fectiveness of the geese (meant to dissuade the mat- ing mallards from using our pools as romantic get- aways) had long dissipated. Drat! However, the de- coys worked for quite a while. Unfortunately, due to unknown circumstances, the mating season has last- ed longer than usual - three months already - and, apparently, familiarity has bred contempt. Alas.
Welcome, little mother
Cant we just be friends?

SOUTHWEST CARLSBAD HOME- OWNER ASSOCIATION COALITION (SWCHAC) MEETING May 5, 2014 by Jim Coniglio
The merry month of May got off to a roaring (rather let's say "pre-fire") start at 8:00 am with a dynamic continental breakfast of Starbucks coffee, pastry, and donuts. This was quickly followed by yet another amazing speaker, Principal Robert De- vich of nearby Pacific Rim Elementary School. Principal Devich filled in details of his background: growing up in a family of educators in the Detroit suburbs was interesting, as was his par- ents dismay when he started carving a successful career in the business world after graduating from college. But then came the realization that he really should be an educator/administrator, so he returned to college to pick up the necessary degrees and forge his foundation of "ancestral genes and tech- niques." Currently logging over seven years at nearby Pacific Rim Elementary and meeting the criteria for a "laid back, firmly gentle dictator," he began reset- ting the basic four corners of his school: administra- tors, teacher/educators, parents, and of course "lit- tle" students. Fairly quickly teachers learned that "flip/flops" were no longer acceptable in the class- room and that the principal would spend a few mo- ments in every classroom (well over 30 of them) every day to augment ideas and concepts with each teacher and student (now over 900 enrolled). It has apparently developed into a very workable ap- proach! Parents learned that they needed to stay close to both the school and their child and to fol- low some instructions themselves. As for the little students, they began to be amazed at how electronic devices could be used to learn something more than simple games. Modern technology has become a stalwart of both classroom and homework assign- ments, even for the youngest children. So then, how has it all played out thus far? Pacific Rim Elementary was ranked #1 of all Carls- bad schools (the district has been a long term "pow- er" in San Diego County) with an API score of 972! (School year 2012/2013). Area Realtors estimate that score alone adds $30,000 to the value of homes within the school's boundaries. Well, after that news, I thought back to my elementary school daze in the late 1940s - yikes! Things were simple in those days. I remember my best class was lunch! Our next meeting on Monday, June 2, 2014, may well feature another breakfast and another in- teresting and timely speaker, Carlsbad's Emergency Preparedness Director. We meet at 8:00 am and it's over at 9:00 am. Remember to eat fast! Alta Mira #4 HOA Clubhouse, 6750 Paseo Del Norte.

WELCOME COMMITTEE by Kathy Hoffman
The committee continues to welcome new owners/residents as notified by LMS of new resi- dent registrations. Recently we have several new registrations and will be following up with each one in the next few weeks. Thanks to LMS for being very prompt in sending on the current information. The Welcome Committee participated with the Lakes Committee in sponsoring the recent Lakes Walk-Around with our Lakes Manager, Ed Simp- son. Our Welcome members made personal calls to new 2013/2014 residents, inviting them to the walk. On the day of the walk we had a really great turn- out. Everyone enjoyed learning all about our Sea
9
Cliff lakes, including "critters" who live in the lakes, as well as all about our beautiful water lilies, from Ed and his assistant, Pono. Thanks to members of both Lakes and Welcome Committees, we also enjoyed some delicious snacks after the walk, while getting to know new and old Sea Cliff residents.
ATTENTION NEW RESIDENTS AT SEA CLIFF! The mission of the Welcome Committee is to meet and greet our new residents and supply them with a packet of information about living at Sea Cliff and the Carlsbad area. As a new resident, if you have not been con- tacted by a Welcome Committee member, please call Kathy Hoffman, Welcome Committee chairper- son, at (760) 931-6589.

POOL & SPA SECURITY
Pool & Spa users can expect to be asked about their residency or guest status. Please be considerate of residents and guests and observe the posted safety rules while using pools and spas.
* * * * * * *
POOL & SPA SANITATION
The pools & spas at Sea Cliff are kept within proper sanitation levels at all times as regulated by the Health Department. Every gallon is filtered several times a day and filters are cleaned regularly. Chlo- rine will kill all the bacteria but some bacteria take longer to kill than others. It is very important for swimmers to practice good hygiene and avoid bac- teria from entering the water. Don't swallow the pool water. Avoid getting water in your mouth. Practice good hygiene. Shower with soap before swimming and wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers. Germs on your body end up in the water. Take your kids on bathroom breaks or check diapers often. Waiting to hear "I have to go" may mean that it's too late. Change diapers in a bathroom or a diaper- changing area and not at poolside. Germs can spread in and around the pool. Wash your child thoroughly (especially the rear end) with soap and water before swim- ming. Invisible amounts of fecal matter can end up in the pool. Don't swim when you have diarrhea. You can spread germs in the water and make oth- er people sick.

REMINDER! Sidewalks are for Walking NO BICYCLES OR SKATEBOARDS

SAFE USE OF THE STREETS
During summertime when driving on our streets, please be extra cautious since the skateboarders, bike riders and others use them too. Sometimes, especially if not proper- ly supervised, young ones can dart into the street at unexpected times and places. Please be especially cautious and observe the 15 MPH speed limit and have a good, safe summer.

Sea Cliff Annual Meeting and Election
Happening Now ............................ The election of members for the Board of Directors is underway! This year there are two (2) openings for the Board of Directors and two candidates.

Committees are very important here at Sea Cliff and we hope you will join one and help serve our community. Committees usually meet once a month for about two hours. You may sign up at the committee meeting or on the sign-up sheets posted at the kiosks, or you can call the committee chairperson and tell him/her you would like to be on the committee. Those already on a committee will be able to sign up for next year at the regular committee meeting. Committee member volunteers go through an approval process by the Board before membership is confirmed. Refer to the back of the Sea Cliff Scene to find a list of all committees and their chairpersons. Committee responsibilities are shown on their Charters that can be found in the book in the Clubhouse.
