9-years ago, the Dorey De'Rail Train pulled into town.
I know, because Carol and I walked Del Mar for the
first time that typically picture-perfect SC Saturday and
were swept on board. Who knew the wild ride those on
Steph and John's Truth & Freedon train were in for.
Well neighbor, their brave train's still chugging strong,
as recognized last Council Meeting when Charles Mann's
relentless army of citizen-signature-gathers pulled off
what Development-Interests here paid mightily to defeat.
A 5-0 vote in favor of SC's endangered legacy -
our Open Space.
If you weren't there, or didn't watch it on channel 30,
what you missed was SC's public voice - 8,400 strong,
delivering a knock-out punch to those on council on
the wrong side of this village's Open Space pendulum.
Frustrated in defeat, our pave-happy-mayor labeled the
enthusiastic chamber audience "The Peanut Gallery!!!"
(Gourmet peanuts to be sure. Fresh and crackling)
Councilman Eggleston reminded Mayor-Jim (no doubt
groggy from his KO-knockdown), we peanut gallery'ists
we're also THE CITIZENS of Ole's dream come true.
After the 5-0 majority vote (with our flummoxed mayor,
recognizing a wave too high to paddle over, mumbled
a disgruntled 'aye' as he rolled his board under the surging
swell) Councilwoman Donchak noted a changing tide
in the village, towards things green, and blue, and clean,
and healthy - and Open.
As this village must remain.
So Steph Dorey's Truth & Freedom Train rolls on with
SC's new "Peanut Gallery Express" - Engineer Mann at
the controls. Making sure its direction remains straight
and true.
Get on board neighbor. It's the ride of a lifetime.
