  • It was a Gala to match no other this year, with Lions, Tigers and Bears. . .Oh My!  This was the biggest fundraiser of the year for this exotic animal sanctuary, with live music, entertainment, silent auctions and food catered by Phil’s BBQ!  After ten years of operating as East County’s only exotic animal rescue, LTB has become home to three African Lions, one Mountain Lion, four Bengal Tigers, three Bobcats, one Serval, one Leopard, and several domesticated animals.

  • Good news, Alpine residents: The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a preliminary county budget that includes nearly $10 million for a new library in the community. The project has been on the community’s wish list -- and mine -- for a long time. If the budget gets the final okay next month, construction could begin on Arnold Way, next to the Alpine Community Center, by mid-2014. Below are conceptual renderings of the 13,500-square-foot building. I’m proud of what communities and the county have done over the years to improve libraries across East County!
