Blade-Citizen B-3 North County Osodle chamber to fill top post on interim basis Past board presidents considered to serve during nationwide search ing specifically at past board presidents to fill in for Dean while a nationwide search for a permanent replacement is conducted, much the same way Hank Butler did before Dean was hired in 1987. Dean, wiio will see his current salary of $52,000 jump by 25 percent in his new job, will start sometime around Nov. 1, he said. Schroder and von Gundell said they hope to have a temporary administrator on board by then, and a full-time executive installed three to four months alter that With the annual membership drive and Christmas Bazaar approaching, von Gundell said, the chamber will be challenged to maintain a steady pace over the next few months. Well have to use our imaginations and stretch a little bit to keep those things together, he said.

But whether it becomes a problem, I dont know. We'll just have to watch things closely." Board members praised Deans accomplishments over the past four years, including maintaining a strong chamber in the face of the recession, the loss of sales-tax revenues during Operation Desert Storm when 30,000 Camp Pendleton Marines shipped out and harsh cutbacks from the city. In August, the council refused to support the chambers $188,000 request to continue running the economic development and visitors bureau. A month later, the council approved $126,000 for the programs. Coupled with the recession and the citys decision to prune back funding, the chamber took a number of hits, including laying off two top officials and trimming Deans salary by about $6,000.

While the chambers membership soared to an all-time high of 780 before Operation Desert Storm, it has dropped ofT to about 700. And Dean says his requests for increased cooperation and communication with City Hall across the street from the Chamber Building have been met with a cold shoulder. Who could blame him for leaving? his directors asked. Were sorry to see him go, Schroder said. But this was an opportunity he couldnt pass up.

And this has been a very difficult year. Weve endured everything from threats to verbal abuse to a lack of cooperation. Theres definitely been a cold shoulder toward the chamber. By Evan Dreyer Staff Writer OCEANSIDE The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce will fill its soon-to-be-vacant chief administrative officers post on an interim basis while searching for a permanent replacement, board members said Friday. Were speaking to several individuals on an interim said board President Jim Schroder, who, like other board members, declined to name the candidates.

The board of directors met late Thursday to discuss strategy following Stebbins F. Deans announcement a day earlier that he has accepted the executive directors job with the Fresno County and City Chamber of Commerce.

Carlsbad youths appear in Unsolved Mysteries scene Clean air plan outlined By Christine Fauci Staff Writer VISTA Air Pollution Control District staff members heard no opposition at a public workshop Friday in Vista when they presented a draft plan to reduce smog. The draft 1991 Regional Air Quality Strategy covers tactics to reduce local motor-vehicle trips and to control industrial, commercial and residential sources of air pollution.

Under the plan, an aggressive transportation control measure would be adopted, heavy truck traffic would be reduced during commuter hours, companies would be required to install retrofit technology and emission offsets would be required for all new or modified sources of air pollution. After review by the public and the California Air Resources Board, the revised strategy will be considered for adoption before the end of the year by the county Board of Supervisors acting as the Air Pollution Control Board. Paul Sidhu, deputy director of the APCD, presented an updated copy of Regulation XIV, the APCD's employer-based program designed to reduce the number of vehicle trips made annually in the county by 700,000 by the year 2000. The goal is based on the California Clean Air Act's requirement that by the end of the decade there should be at least three occupants for every two commuter vehicles during rush hour. County supervisors are expected to consider Regulation XIV and a transit plan from the San Diego Association of Governments on Tuesday.

Sidhu said if the board finds the SanDAG plan deficient, it could pass Regulation XIV at a later meeting. Sidhu said the county is required to reduce emissions 5 percent a year from 1987 levels, but he anticipates the best the county could reduce would be 3 percent Commuter traffic represents more than half of all miles driven, a third of all trips made and nearly 40 percent of daily air pollution from motor vehicles, Sidhu said. The goal of the Regulation XIV would be to have an average of 1.5 people per vehicle, compared with the present average of 1.1 people per vehicle, he said. We're proposing to give businesses two to five years to design their own program, he said. If they can achieve the goals, they wont have to do anything" Regulation XIV requires charges for employee parking when a companys traffic-reduction goals are not met.

It also eases the schedule for instituting parking and special fees by phasing the program over eight years. Under the plan, companies would be required to meet two-and four year targets for reducing the number of vehicle trips or pay employee parking charges and mitigation fees. Revenue from the charges would be kept by the company for use in developing commuter programs, while the mitigation fees would be used by the APCD to develop increased mass transit and other trip-reducers. Companies with 50 or more workers in one site would have to meet their targets by 1994. By Chris Moran Staff Writer CARLSBAD Two young Carlsbad actresses recently made their network television debut in a story about a notorious San Diego crime.

San Diegaq Art Silva put his daughters through 10 years of physical abuse, said the narrator on Unsolved Mysteries Wednesday night. The weekly show simulated Silva's case with a scene in which, as the narrator tells it, Three young daughters go home to face the wrath of their father. Two of the children on the screen were Carlsbad actresses Tiffany Ojeda, 7, and Tiana Hegemann-Kane, 12. The two were pictured walking home from school with another actress, fretting about facing their criminal father. They entered their television home and cowered under the tongue-lashing delivered by an irate actor.

The way he acted, it was scary, said Hegemann-Kane, The two certainly portrayed that in Wednesdays episode, after what the actresses said were 30 takes in August Ojeda nods and grins when asked if her fellow third-graders at Buena Vista Elementary School saw her. ent has helped Tiffany and Tiana excel. Sometimes its not the thing to do in their culture to get in front of the camera, said Fields. But for these guys the machine (camera) really is another person. and they can relate to it Tiffanys mother, Erma Ojeda, said her daughter often hams it up at home, framing herself in a cardboard TV screen and masquerading as various personalities.

Though they are young, both are already set on high achievements, not necessarily in the performing arts. Tiffany said she would like to be a dentist or an ears, eyes and throat doctor, while Tiana aspires to be a lawyer. They received $500 each for their half minute on the screen. Tiana bought clothes, Tiffany bought Barbie dolls and chewing gum. The rest goes into the bank, they said.

Money is not their motivator, though. They think of their acting as a hobby, though they label TV spots jobs. I think all the jobs are worth it, said Tiana of her career. She said she gladly takes a role in whatever comes up." She had a simple prediction for her future: If Im meant for the movies, I am. If I'm not.

I'm not Hegemann-Kane, a seventh-grader at Valley Junior High, said being on a nationally televised show meant a lot to her because family members in her native Hawaii could see her performance. The two were hired two hours after they were told about the job, said Liana Fields, who got them the job. A talent agent at Models International in Carlsbad, Fields said the two were among the more versatile actresses of the 40 to 60 she represents. "They can go out and handle pretty much any acting material that's given to them, Fields said. Act like you won $20 million, Fields told Tiana.

Tiana screamed through her hands covering her face and acted faint Tiana boasts several TV appearances, including a major league baseball promotion with Tony Gwynn and a video appearance on MTV with rap group Awesome Dre. Tiffany has appeared in a local Nissan commercial, an El Polio Loco commercial and a Panasonic advertisement aired in Japan. Fields said their ethnicity has worked to their advantage. She said actresses that are Hispanic or Asian in heritage or appearance are in high demand.
