The Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild Bites the Dust -- Union Bank Forecloses Art Show
Looks like the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild has outs own problems with financial institutions, namely the Union Bank a subject of frequent criticism for its financial practices. A larger than usual crowd gathered at the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild on Thursday, it turned out because this was the final art show ever after 15 years at the location in the rear of the Union Bank building on Paseo Delicias. Union Bank officials who were not named told Guild officials last week they had to be off the premises by the end of May. They said they needed to expand the bank facility. Also evicted with one months warning, the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. Guild officials said they had no new location identified or idea how they would find one. However, they said they had several good options they hoped to pursue. Until that time, it was unclear how members or the guild would show work locally. The new show will be held at a member's house, according to officials. Union Bank officials could not be reached for comment.

(From the files of the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol, Thursday, July 21, 2011...)
The stolen valves are taken to a metal recyclers and the crooks try to get cash for them. Changes in the laws prevent an immediate handout of cash- the recyler has to take the persons name and information and contact the authorities before handing over the cash. Both cases we investigated occurred late at night. If you happen to see a car or truck stopped on the side of the road looking suspicious, please give us a call.
Although historically sightings are rare, there are several types of wild animals that live here in Rancho Santa Fe. Mountain Lions main food source is deer and coyotes. Eliminating plant species that attract deer help discourage mountain lions from coming into the area. Please take precautions – mountain lions are most active at night as well as dusk and dawn. Do not leave children outside unattended; don’t leave pet food or food that may attract animals outside. Do not leave animals outside unattended. Horses should be kept in stalls in the barn. Be careful when walking/ jogging at dusk and dawn time periods. If you see a mountain lion- make noise-lots of it. Yell, scream, and bang on something. For example, pocket sized air horns are a good way to do that. If you have any questions please call the Dept of Fish and Game at 858-467-4201 or the RSF Patrol 858-756-4372.

Free emergency San Diego County ambulance service to cost $400 plus $20 a mile starting June 14...
County supervisors voted unanimously on May 24 to charge people $400 plus $20 a mile to be taken by ambulance to the hospital. this service is free currently. These new fees apply to Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Del Mar and Encinitas. Supervisors voted unanimously to impose the fee after officials said it would provide financial stability and ensure continued emergency medical care for residents and visitors. The services are funded by property taxes, special-benefit taxes and non-district resident ambulance transport fees. However, the service area expects to spend $250,000 more than it takes in beginning this year, depleting reserves. Walter Ekard, county chief administration officer, who earns $286,000 per year plus perks -- more than the speaker of the House of Representatives or U. S. Senators earn -- said the proposed fee was well below the average charged by other communities. The other county service area in Santee and Lakeside charges $900 plus $14 per mile.
El Cajon charges $1,184 and $19 per mile while in San Diego it costs $865 plus $13 a mile. Elsewhere, Los Angeles County charges $929 and $15 per mile and Ventura County charges $1,251 and $23 per mile. Ambulance services for Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe and parts of Elfin Forest are provided by San Diego Medical Services Enterprise. In most cases, fees and mileage reimbursements come directly from Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance companies.
Monthly healthcare premiums are not projected to increase because the ambulance fee represents a fraction of total health care costs. Last year, the service area’s citizen advisory committee supported establishing the resident fee. The ordinance is scheduled for adoption on June 14, and would take effect 30 days later. BREAKING NEWS 4:30 P.M. - WONDERING ABOUT I-5 TRAFFIC HASSLES IN NORTH COUNTY SAN DIEGO, CALIF. HERE ARE A FEW REASONS WHY.
A series of small fires charred brush along northbound Interstate 5 near Manchester Avenue on Monday afternoon, casting clouds of smoke over the freeway and forcing authorities to close a lane briefly as firefighters doused the blazes. Firefighters responded to reports of three or four small fires burning on a hill near the freeway about 2:30 p.m., a NorthComm dispatcher said.
Fire causes were not immediately known. Also holding up traffic was this accident, according to CHP:

And for some bonus coverage...
...Dial it up. Fire training exercise over, the lake re-opens to fishing on Wednesday. PLUS BONUS COVERAGE OF 'THE ACCIDENT' AT THE LAKE...Featuring the Del Dios Bicycle Players.
As fortune - bad - would have it, a bicyclist suffered a fall at the right place with hundreds of EMTs around.

Last but least, the lake as it stands Monday, May 16, 2011
Enjoy? MORE WILDLAND TRAINING FROM LAKE HODGES, DEL DIOS, CALIF...
Like I was saying, its the annual Wildland Training Day at Lake Hodges and about 100 engine companies along with numerous batallion chiefs and firefighting apparatus, and about a half-dozen fire suppression non-stealth helicopters trained all day Monday at the lake.
They came from every firefighting agency in San Diego County for the hootenanny at the lake.
It was a fun day for all what with seminars, hands-on training and well, sitting around in fire engines all day. Warning: Arsonists Beware, Stay Away from Lake Hodges Monday for the Lake is Fire-Training or Something...
All of San Diego County's fire agencies turned out in force on Monday for the annual meeting of the clans. Well, the annual wildfire exercise. And what place more appropriate than at the Del Dios Fire Station and Lake Hodges where the 2007 Witch Creek Fire was brought to its knees and vanquished.
Agencies, along with all available firefighting helcopters, spent the day doing stuff around the lake. This included wildfire training seminars at the station as well as hands-on fire suppression and safety drills at the lake. Anyone who was stranded around Lake Hodges due to, I dunno, having a crappy Toyota RAV 4 transmission, were just plain out of luck, but we digress...

FREE MONEY AT MISSION FEDERAL CREDIT UNION SOLANA BEACH, CALIF.? NOPE but thief got away with $3K...
A man wearing a black bandanna over his face robbed a Mission Federal Credit Union branch around 11 a.m. today, Wednesday in the 900 block of Loma Santa Fe at Solana Beach. The suspect was described as a black man in his mid-30s who was wearing a black baseball cap, a black leather jacket, and a black bandana over his face, San Diego County Sheriff's Lt. Jim Walker said. The man had his hand in his pocket as if he had a gun, but no weapon was seen, Walker said. No vehicle was seen as the man fled on foot with an estimated $3,000. He was last seen on foot, heading toward the Vons market in the Lomas Santa Fe Plaza shopping center, Walker said. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Department's at 858-565-5200. Moose No Longer Loose So Get Off Our Cloud and Return Those Damn Bronze and Iron Sculptures...OH THE HUMANITY STOP THESE HORRIBLE THEFT AND RETURN INCIDENTS!!!
Anybody around Rancho Santa Fe missing a giant outdoor bronze horse statue estinated to be worth $4,000? How about somebody at Solana Beach missing a cast-iron statue of undescribed nature estimated at $6,250? You're not exactly in luck, but have no fear, sort of, the San Diego Sheriffs Department is on the case. Those tributes to the bronze and iron ages are being sought as a result of the mother lode of the entire set, a 600-pound bronze moose, suddenly showing up back at its pre-stolen home on the southwestern outskirts of Ramona. A woman who had read a newspaper article about the statue's theft was visiting a popular equestrian area at Dye Road and Southern Oak Road in Ramona lnear sunset ast week and spotted the at-large moose, said Sgt. Christina Bavencoff of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. The woman said she left the area for abut two hours. when she returned, lo-and-behold a 600-pound bronze moose at the same spot staring at her in a vacant field, according to Bavencoff. "Sometime between 7 and 9 at night, a truck or a van or something probably pulled in to dump it off there," Bavencoff said. "Everybody's pretty much just baffled." The moose vanished from a Ramona home in late February, and more than 17 other statues also had been stolen in recent months across the North County region. Among those were a cast-iron statue worth $6,250 stolen from its Solana Beach owner and a bronze horse statue worth $4,000 stolen from someone in Rancho Santa Fe.
Most of the thefts occurred within the last six months, she said. Bavencoff said she had no idea whether the statues were being sold or scrapped or smuggled across the Mexican border. However, she urged residents to be careful; while many of the statues were stolen from front yards, some were taken from backyards. Such an invasion could lead to violent confrontations between the thieves and surprised residents, she said. Anyone with any information about how the moose traveled to the vacant field ---- or tips about any other statue theft ---- is asked to call the San Diego County Sheriff's Department at 858-565-5200 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.

Breaking news 3 p.m. - Get ready, get set, STOP on Interstate 5 around Del Mar for a spell longer due to a collision just north of Birmingham Drive...
Yeah, it's Friday, so you know what that means. TRAFFIC HASSLE bleepin' so-and-so commute north. That's a real-time Caltrans photo of what's going on there so either avoid getting on Interstate 5 or else. Considering traffic gets insane after 3 p.m. on Friday, this accident made it worse. The scene was cleared in an hour. Traffic is proceeding at around 15 miles per hour, or slower, from the Highway 56 merge at Carmel Valley north through Lomas Santa Fe. So, that's the April Fools Kommute Killer for now. Expect tough going through early evening.
Sorry to report, but that's the way it goes, April Fools Friday. Don't say you weren't warned.
OH THE HUMANITY!!! Dump truck Ditches Del Dios Highway, Calif. Morning Rush Hour Traffic...
Just before 8 a.m. Wednesday, March 31, and just in time for morning rush hour, a dump truck overturned on Del Dios Highway near Lake Hodges Dam, Ranch Santa Fe firefighters said. Maybe, the dump truck driver was watching the waterfalls continuing at the dam. Maybe, those stinking dump trucks shouldn't be allowed on narrow, two-lane Del Dios Highway where they spew pollution, clog up traffic and, yes, even overturn and truly turn the highway into a nightmare, especially at rush hour. But we digress. Del Dios Highway was CLOSED, closed we tell ya, from 8 to 9 a.m. so a lot of people didn't get to -- Maynard G. Krebs voice, please -- "work". But gee whiz, no injuries, so that's, er, nice, we guess. The dastardly dump truck -- its ownership not revealed -- had been towing a small flatbed trailer with a tractor. That's just the worst kind of traffic possible on the misnamed highway because these stinking trucks and trailer go like 30 miles per hour under the speed limit. They also don't turn off when a long line of vehicles is behind them and technically, the law says it's illegal to drive with five vehicles, or more, in the rear.
ANYWAY, Firefighters found the truck and erstwhile trailer lying on its side on the guard rail along the lane headed from Rancho Santa Fe to Del Dios.
Taxpayer dollars came to work then. Aside from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire engine company and San Diego Medical Services ambulance and crew, San Diego County Department of Public Works employees cleaned up the road while California Highway Patrol officers told people they couldn't drive anywhere. The accident remains under investigation with no charges filed as yet, said Julie Taber, Rancho Santa Fe Fire spokesperson. Oh, the humanity! (By the way, photo below, the waterfall event is coming to a close at Lake Hodges Dam where the one month-long attraction was enjoyed by one and all.)

Bird Gave the Word, Died a Hero En Fuego in Rancho Bernardo Apartment Fire on Tuesday...
About 30 firefighters responded, including units from Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego, Escondido, and Poway. Firefights took about an hour to put out the fire, which had spread to the attic of the two-story condo, authorities said. The cockatoo, alas, apparently died a hero. It was last seen en fuego in the laundry room of the family's condominium at 17487 Bernardo Center Dr., said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque.
"He's the only reason we got out," said the owner, who didn't want to be identified, in tears as a friend comforted her. The call came in just before 10 a.m. of a fire at the four-unit complex near the library. The woman was at home with her infant when she heard her cockatoo squawking in an unusual manner, Luque said. When the woman went into the laundry room, where the bird usually stayed in its cage, she noticed the bird was on fire and tried to put it out with an extinguisher but was unable to, Luque said. The woman, whose husband was out jogging, then fled the home with the baby and firefighters arrived to put out the blaze. The fire spread up a chase outside the unit and into a neighboring condominium. The neighbor was not home at the time, Luque said. Three, or four, people were evacuated from the building and no one was injured. Officials estimated the apartment complex damage at $750,000. An investigator said the fire may have started when the furnace ignited combustibles, but the cause tentativey was listed as accidental.
