We areasking every resident, everybusiness and every governmentagency to make a fulland sustained commitment toreduce their water use.“By working together, we canlive within our water supplyallocation, while also protectingour region’s $171 billioneconomy and the quality of lifeof our 3 million residents.”The water supply cut fromMWD is the first since theagency last curtailed water deliveriesin 1992 – the last year ofa six-year drought. The supplyallocation will be effective July1 through June 30, 2010. Lastyear, supplies from MWD accountedfor 71 percent of theregion’s water supply.The Water Authority’s Boardof Directors will consider anumber of actions at its April23 meeting to respond to thesupply cut from MWD. Amongthe actions the board will consider:• Implementing water supplycutbacks to its 24 member retailwater agencies and cities;• Declaring a Level 2“Drought Alert” condition,which would enable the WaterAuthority’s 24 member retailwater agencies and cities toimpose water use restrictionsand water rates designed toensure supply reductions areachieved;• Using dry-year supplies tooffset some of the water supplycutback from MWD.In a separate action, MWD’sBoard of Directors approved anaverage rate increase of 19.7percent effective September2009. The Water AuthorityBoard of Directors is expectedto consider water rate increasesfor the September 2009-December2010 period at its June25 meeting.MWD’s actions to curtail suppliesand raise rates stem froman unprecedented combinationof water supply challengesgripping much of California.Regulatory restrictions to protectfish species in the Bay-Delta are dramatically reducingwater deliveries from NorthernCalifornia, and may remainin effect for years. A thirdconsecutive year of drought isalso constraining supplies. Asa result of these factors, manyof the state’s major reservoirshave been drawn down to verylow levels.MWD’s rates are based, inlarge part, on the cost of itswaters supplies. As suppliesfrom its less-expensive sourcesare reduced, MWD must relyupon more costly water sourcesto help meet demands. Inaddition, reduced water salesfrom allocations means higherwater rates are needed on theremaining supplies to coverMWD’s expenses. In turn, thecost of MWD’s supplies to theWater Authority has a majorimpact on driving up waterrates in the region.On April 23, the Water Authority’sBoard of Directors willconsider moving to the nextstage of its Drought ManagementPlan and allocate its reducedsupply to its 24 memberretail agencies. The percentageof the Water Authority’s watershortage will be lower thanMWD’s allocation percentage,because the Water Authorityhas developed additional watersupplies through transfers andby working with member agenciesto develop additional localsupplies and storage.To address the remainingwater shortage, the WaterAuthority will decide April 23whether to declare a Level 2“Drought Alert” condition.That would enable local retailwater agencies to move tothe next level of their droughtShop Avon at Home or in your officewith personal delivery and guaranteed satisfaction.Contact: Briana ThomasAvon Independent Sales Representative619-933-5502order online- www.youravon.com/bthamasresponse ordinances. Thoseordinances authorize mandatoryconservation restrictionsand rate structures designedto achieve the needed watersavings level. A Drought Alertcondition is used to achieveany level of mandatory watersavings up to 20 percent.Under a Drought Alert –the second level of the WaterAuthority’s four-level modeldrought ordinance – voluntarywater use restrictions outlinedin the model drought ordinancebecome mandatory. Examplesof these restrictions include notwashing down sidewalks anddriveways, watering residentialand commercial landscapesonly in early morning or lateevening hours, and servingwater in restaurants only byrequest.In addition, more landscapewatering restrictions take effect,including limits on how manydays per week and minutesper day lawns and plants canbe watered. Leaks must alsobe repaired more quickly, anddecorative fountains and otherwater features must not be usedunless they use recycled water.Actual restrictions may varyby retail agency. For example,nine agencies have ordinanceswith provisions at this level thatrestrict or potentially restrictnew water service unless theincreased demand is offset.Some retail agencies also planto use measures such as tieredrates or water allocations basedon meter size or individualproperty characteristics (suchas lot size, landscaping, numberof residents) to help reducedemand.“It’s critical for residents andbusinesses to check with theirlocal water provider to makesure they understand the ratesand restrictions in their community,”Lewis said. “It will helpthem learn what they need todo to help our region cope withthe effects of the water shortageand minimize their risk ofpenalties or dramatic increasesto their water bills.”If the San Diego region doesnot stay within its MWD supplyallocation, MWD will levysignificant rate penalties onthe Water Authority. Thesecosts would be passed throughto Water Authority memberagencies that did not stay withintheir allocation from the WaterAuthority.

Photo by DaveStallby Dave StallFor all Challenger fansthe RT has been addedto the Challenger lineup along with the SE. In 2008the only Challenger availablewas the SRT-8 with a healthy6.1-liter 425 horsepoweredHemi V8 backed by a 5-speedautomatic transmission or anoptional 6-speed manual.The RT I was testing hadthe optional 6-speed manualtransmission and under thehood was a 5.7-liter Hemi V8producing 370 horsepowerand 398 pound foot of torque.My tester was Hemi Orangewith black RT stripes downthe side, slate colored interiorwith leather trimmed bucketseats. The Challenger wasvery comfortable and whatreally stood out was the waythe Hemi sounded at idle andduring acceleration, not annoyingbut just enough rumbleto make you say, Yea!Before I forget the SE wasadded as well and it comeswith a V6 that produces 250horsepower and 250 poundfoot of torque. I haven’t drivena V6 but it is on my list.Standing back one can’t helpbut remember the 70’s Challenger,but once inside thereis a big car with lots of room,except for the rear passengers,but if you slide the front seat upa little your rear passengers willenjoy the ride.The Challenger RT rodevery smooth and handledthe corners with control andsmoothness. Power windowsand door locks and a keylessignition, just hook the key fobto the belt loop and you’regood to go with a push of theignition button.Even though this was notthe SRT 8 there is great performancesteering, electronic stabilitycontrol, all-speed tractioncontrol, performance suspension,4-wheel anti-lock brakes,standard 3.05 rear differentialratio. I must comment on thisfeature, with this gear ratio andthe gear ratio’s in the 6-speedmanual transmission it will beturning a low 1500 rpm at 70miles per hour, sound good?For fuel mileage it is great, 16city and 25 freeway, for highspeed passing it is terrible.The RT falls flat on its faceand one or two gears need tobe dropped to push this 4,140pound coupe around the carpassing. That is the only negativeI could find on this RT. IThe Challenger handles the corners with control andsmoothness.would probably buy this overthe SRT-8 mainly for the priceand fuel mileage.My tester will cost you a baseprice of $29,320 (with a standardautomatic transmission)and a loaded price of $37,320,which included options like agreat sound system, satelliteradio, steering wheel controls,keyless go as I mentionedbefore, alarm system, tempand compass, tire pressuremonitoring system, optional3.73 rear gears, anti spin differential,power sunroof, stripeson the side of the car and aset of 20-inch by 8-inch aluminumchrome wheels, and245/45VR20 tires.This was a perfect packagefor someone that wouldlike to step back in time anddrive a legend with today’stechnology.Nice job Dodge, the RT is awinner!!!Got a question for Dave?Go to www.davestall.com orlisten to him on KCBQ AM1170 Saturday 3 to 5 p.m.RAINS MAKE FOR EASY GROUNDBREAKINGSTART PLANTING TODAY!Everything for yourpatio, yard or garden!Plants, Decorative Trees, Fruit Trees,Flowering Plants, Scrubbery, Landcovering,Benches, Lawn Ornaments andso much more. . .

Theshifting winds set the atmospherefor healers from thesacred Andes Mountains whocame for spiritual healings.Don Martin Pinedo Acunaand Marco Nunez, well-knownPeruvian Shaman healers,spent three days with thosewho attended the event thatincluded workshops on AndeanShamanism, meditationsfor cleansings and healings,despacho ceremonies as wellas group and individual healings.Former Viejas Tribal ChairmanAnthony Pico, who hadgone to Peru and participatedin spiritual healings, welcomedthose in attendance on the firstevening.“A few years ago I wasstunned when I attended ahealing in Arizona and heardthe similarities of what I heardas a child growing up,” Picotold the crowd. “To broadenmy perspective of this subject,I started studying with thesepeople for the last three years.I witnessed healings that I haveno explanation for, including ahealing of myself. These menlive by a simple rule, ‘All wehave to do is love every individualhuman being we meetand the rest is gravy. And we’regoing to witness their pureindigenous medicine.’”Tribal member Vera Tucker,the master of ceremonies, hadalso been to Peru and studiedwith the Shamans. “Thesehealers came to remind uswhat we use to do as nativepeople,” Tucker said. “Weused to heal and we used tosuck out the negative energyand give it to the stones. Weneed to wake up and rememberthis stuff.”The wind blew cooler asShaman Don Martin PinedoAcuna and his interpreter andshaman-in- training, MarcoNunez, were summoned ontothe stage. Enthralled by themysterious men dressed in coloredtraditional Peruvian ponchos,and their heads coveredwith a chullo, a woolen capfitted with earflaps decoratedwith multi-colored motifs,the spectators cuddled intotheir chairs – waiting. No oneseemed to notice the weather.And no one left.“We are very honored to behere with Don Martin, he isone of the single Shamans inPeru who has dedicated his lifeto teaching others and worksevery day with Shamanism,”Nunez said as he and Martinchewed constantly on cocoleaves – a powerful symbolthroughout South Americaof indigenous cultural andreligious identity.Interpreting for Martin,Donald Adema, DO(Board Certified Family Practice)Most Insurance Accepted10201 Mission GorgeRd.Santee, CA(619) 596-5445Diana Pico, Don Martin, Marco Nunez, and Anthony Pico setfor healing event. Photo credit: Diana Saenger Photo credits:Kathy FosterNunez said, “He’s very gladthat he got a vision of theeagle, and he’s here with anopen heart to give us wordsabout this land where ourbrother, who comes as the condor,came together to be withyou, the Northern AmericanEagles.”Martin commented abouthow the four spirits of Earth– the wind, water, fire andEarth were present on thereservation and responsible forbringing them and local peopletogether.Alpine’s Vickie Steffens, whohad studied about the PeruvianShaman healers, was excitedwhen she heard about theevent. “I’m very intrigued bythe ideas of spiritual healing,”she said. “We all need thatlately.”Nunez reported Martin thenspoke about taking better careof the Earth, not to worry aboutmaterial things and to focus onthe spiritual life, and repeatedwhat Martin said, “We have tobe happy, to enjoy our livesand build our spiritual lives.When our life starts, it ends,and we should not waste timeanymore. And to open yourheart – the medicine comesfrom the heart. And let the lightcome in to lead a better life.”Those were the words thatOley Jones from North Countycame to hear. “I want to hearhealing words for my spirit,”he said.Julie Hagen, who just movedback to the area, was lookingfor the same curing. After listeningto the shaman’s knowledge,their metaphysical visions,Don Martin’s spiritual songson his man-made flute andinvitations to feel their healingenergy, there was a prayer forMother Earth. Then everyonewas invited to gather aroundthe stage to sample the cocaleaves, and place their handson the rocks in Don Martin’smedicine bundle.Pico summed up what attendeesshould experience atthe three day event including:workshops cleansings,healings, traditions such asthe luminous body, or “lightbody;” which surrounds andruns through the human bodyand interconnects with the energyof the universe; despachoceremonies as well as groupand individual healings. Theshamans would also be talkingabout their prophecy and thecoming of year 2012.“They have taught me howto live in “Ayni” which means agood relationship with oneself,with our neighbors and our environment,”Pico said. “Theybring unity, togetherness, andhope that when they leavehere, we of different color,different nationality, differentpolitical perspectives and differentnational origins, will beone. That’s a beautiful conceptto be one with others.”For more information onDon Martin Pinedo Acuna visithttp://www.theshamanspath.com/donmartin.phpLaughter is the Best Medicinepulled into the crowded parking lot at a Wal-Mart and rolledI down the car windows to make sure my Labrador RetrieverPup had fresh air.She was stretched full-out on the back seat and I wanted toimpress upon her that she must remain there. I walked to thecurb backward, pointing my finger at the car saying emphatically,‘Now you stay. Do you hear me?’‘Stay!Stay!’The driver of a nearby car, a pretty blonde young lady, gave mea strange look and said,’ Why don’t you just put it in park?Submitted by Keith BabcockHealth… Just CommonHorse Senseby Dr. Donald AdemaWhile blitzing to the offfice yesterday, KOGO’s ChipFranklin commented on medical costs. “You know,they always go up every year, it is a given.” Is it?By the time I hit the parking lot, I was a bit worked up. Mymedical student viewed the cloud over my head and as thesurgeon he will be after an up and coming five year residency,he simply cut the problem out by asking, “What got youworked up?”. You know them surgeons, always subtle. Well,we grappled with staff and a few patients and came up withthe following.We all noted that reimbursement for providing basic careto the majority of health care providers is going down, notup. Medicare and California’s Medical are the best examples.Hospice payments are being pulled, mid care, as cases are reviewed.That would be the path of least resistance! Hospitalcontracting is becoming more and more obtuse and harderto achieve a package that covers hospital overhead. Nursinghomes are also under attack in the reimbursement world forcingunsafe nursing ratios. Our lunch hostess of the day is a verywatchful young lady. She commented on how more and moreoffices she visits are struggling to meet standards of care withless reimbursement. And yet, costs are going up so premiumsare going up and where is that money going?Further food for thought. Medicare insists on paying for labtests that give the lab corporations over 50 percent profit. Pharmaceuticalprofits are above that figure. Insurance companymanagment/board salaries are obscene, and they provide noactual patient care. Labor unions continue to force nursingparticipation and become a bigger nightmare than insurancecontracting to hospital administrations. Is there a commontheme here?Again, the medical student deftly wielded his future scalpel.“It would seem that the government allows, no, fosters it all.”He will get an A this rotation! Yes, lab and pharmaceuticalcompanies have very powerful lobbyists. Yes, labor unions area tad notorious when it comes to manipulating politicians. So,if you want more of the same or maybe just the final demise ofcreative and indiviualized medical care, keep the governmentin the mix.Stay tuned.Stay!

David Sanderlin 1002 Pansy Way, ElCajon, CA 92019This statement was filed with Gregory J. Smith Recorder/County Clerk of San Diego Countyon March 17, 2009.East County Gazette- GIE0307903/26, 4/02, 4/09, 4/16, 2009CITY OF EL CAJONPUBLIC NOTICEFIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR FISCAL YEARS 2009-2010 THROUGH 2013-2014ANDONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009-10NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the El Cajon City Council held two public hearings to accept and consider public testimony regarding the allocation of funds from the Community Development BlockGrant (CDBG) program and the HOME Investment Partnership funds on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, at 7:00 p.m., and on Tuesday, April 14, 2009, at 3:00 p.m., in the El Cajon Council Chambers at200 Civic Center Way, El Cajon, CA 92020. CDBG and HOME grants are funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).HUD requires that any jurisdiction receiving CDBG and HOME funds to complete a five-year document outlining the needs of the community and establishing goals to meet those needs. TheFive-Year Consolidated Plan satisfies the statutory requirements for these programs. The City is required to update this plan for Fiscal Years 2009 - 2014. Additionally, the City is required toprepare a one-year action plan describing the activities that will be completed during Fiscal Year 2009-10 to meet a portion of the goals established in the five-year plan.The primary purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to develop a plan for addressing the needs for lower income groups who are the intended beneficiaries of the HUD formula programs. TheCDBG funds must be utilized to meet one of three national objectives to qualify for funding: 1) benefit 70% low and moderate income persons in the community; 2) aid in the elimination of slumand blight; or 3) meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious threat. HOME funds may be used “to provide incentivesto develop and support affordable rental housing and homeownership affordability through the acquisition, new construction, reconstruction, or rehabilitation with suitable amenities, includingreal property acquisition, site improvement, conversion, demolition and other expenses.” It may also be used to provide for the payment of reasonable administrative and planning costs, andto provide for the payment of operating expenses of community housing development organizations (CHDO’s) – 24 CFR 92.205(a).” Each participating jurisdiction must set aside 15% of theirHOME entitlement for CHDO’s. The El Cajon City Council took these tentative actions at the February 24, 2009, public hearing: allocated $1,234,525 of anticipated CDBG funds, and $759,051of anticipated HOME funds. In addition the City Council also allocated $902,547 of unallocated prior year CDBG and $477,271 of HOME funds. Preliminary allocations were made and aresubject to public review. The projects and programs below reflect those allocations made at the April 14, 2009, public hearing.The Five-Year Consolidated Plan outlines programs anticipated for 2009-14 and the One-Year Action Plan 2009-10 is the document that provides details of the projects and programs fundedthrough CDBG and HOME funds for Fiscal Year 2009-10. Both plans were available for public review beginning March 12, 2009, for an extended time period through April 14, 2009. This noticeonly contains new funding and new projects.

APRIL 16, 2009 GAZETTE PAGE 15Our Best FriendsPuppy aggressive toward child… ask a trainerby Nan Arthur,CDBC, CPDT, KPA CTPDear Trainer,We have a 7-montholdpure bredCocker Spanielpuppy who is not spayed yet(the vet said to wait until sheis a year old) that has beensomewhat of a challenge sincewe got her at 8 weeks old.She has gone to puppy classeswith my daughter and myself,but still seems really distractedin the environment. The bigproblem, however, is that shewill growl and snap at mydaughter when she tries to takethings from her, such as a toy.She used to do this to everyonewhen she was tired or hungry,but we figured that out. Nowit’s only with my daughter whois 10 years old. We have realizedthat this usually happenswhen we have been playingwith our dog so that might havesomething to do with it.My daughter’s safety is numberone, and I will send mydog back to the breeder ifwe can’t figure this out, butI would like to try and workwith her to solve this problem.In most every other way, shehas become a great companion.We would appreciate anysuggestions or ideas to helpus understand what might begoing on and how to help ourdog and my daughter becomebetter friends.Signed,Torn between dog and childDear Torn,What a tough place to bein with a dog and a child notgetting along. You didn’t mentiona few details, such as howthe dog and your daughter dotogether when not playing, soI’ll assume they do okay.I would guess that there are afew things going on here. First,there are most likely hormoneshappening. Your dog is veryclose to the age where theybegin their first estrus cycle andthat can influence behaviorchanges. I understand thatyour vet wants you to waitto spay her, (many vets wantdogs to reach a more maturegrowth stage before spayingor neutering), but this may beadding to the problem. Talkto your vet about spaying yourdog now, but realize that it canstill take a month or so for thehormones to completely leavethe system.What are you teachingyour dog?Next, your dog is no longera puppy, and in fact is a youngadolescent dog. Like humanteenagers this is a time ofdiscovery. Unfortunately, theway people respond in relationto the dog’s behavior cansend a very strong message todogs trying to find their placeamong the humans they livewith and the overall environment.When people begin a journeywith a dog, one of themost important things theyneed to realize is that dogswalk along a different “path.”The way dogs do things doesnot always conform to the waywe humans prefer in terms ofour own comfort and pleasure.Dogs are best at being dogs—they are not born understandinghuman “rules.”Dogs are good “accountants.”They use a cost-benefitanalysis approach to justabout anything. When askedto do something, the dog askshimself “What’s in it for me?”This is the process dogs gothrough as they consider howto respond to the requests ofhumans.With that in mind, eachtime you respond to yourdog’s behavior, it providesher with instant feedbackabout whether she shouldchoose that behavior again ornot—what is the cost and whatis the benefit? If you providea benefit, it is more likely yourdog will do the behavior again.If not, she won’t. Your dog hasquickly learned that growlingand snapping at your daughterresults in her being ableto keep her toy. That doesn’tmean you should have doneanything different with safetyin mind, but now your dog willneed some behavior modificationthat shows her she doesn’thave to respond that way.Play arousalWhen dogs are playing theyhave a rush of chemicals thathelp the mind and body keepup with the level of play. Unfortunately,those same chemicalsalso lower thresholds. Inother words, your dog willbe less tolerant of things thatmight not otherwise botherher, but when aroused, shedoesn’t cope well. This soundslike that might be the case,and when your daughter triesto take things from her in thisheightened state of arousal,she is unable to respond withcalm reason. Your dog simplyreacts by growling and snappingat her as if to say, “Don’ttake my very important toy.”While we never want dogsusing this type of communicationtoward humans,do understand that it is justthat—communication andinformation for you to findthe resources to help yourdog learn to me more tolerantwhen excited.ADOPT-A-PETJenny is a beautiful 2-yr old SiberianHusky.
