DESPITE RAINS, THREE EAST COUNTY RESERVOIRS REMAIN AT VERY LOW LEVELS
Dam upgrades slated to begin at Lake Morena in 2018, but there’s no guarantee water levels will ever be restored By Miriam Raftery January 12, 2017 (Lake Morena) — Even after heavy rainfalls doused our region, three East County Reservoirs remain at very low levels. As of January 9th, Lake Morena is at just 2.1 percent of capacity, Barrett Lake is att 5.5 percent, and Sutherland 7.3 percent of capacity, according to the City of San Diego. These are the only local reservoirs not connected to the State Water Project system of canals and aqueducts, thus they are solely dependent on rainfall which has not been enough to replenish large quantities pumped out by the City of San Diego to meet its thirst for water. Lake Morena’s level is far below the level at which the city of San Diego promised to cease its drawdown. Since then, the water level has continued to fall due to evaporation. Residents have long voiced anger and frustration over negative impacts on wildlife, scenery, the tourism economy of the lakefront community, property values, , as well as the quality and availability of well water at nearby properties. Homes and cabins that once overlooked a verdant lake now have vistas of a dry lakebed or brackish puddles. Barrett Lake in Dulzura was once a fisherman’s paradise. Lake Sutherland in Ramona is also a shadow of its former presence. East County resident Tom Lemon asks, “I wonder what will happen to our water supply? Raising rates to force conservation hurts the poor and we’ve already done as much we can using low flow shower heads and toilets.” Repairs and upgrades to the dam at Lake Morena are expected to be made from 2018 to 2020. After that, the lake will still be dependent on natural rainfall to refill it –and even then, the city could decide to take more water, a staffer at Supervisor Dianne Jacob’s office advised ECM. Here is her office’s full response to our request for information on why Lake Morena was drained so low, and what if anything would be done to repair the dam and restore water levels: Our office turned to staff for help with your questions. Here’s what we got back: In response to the inquiry regarding reservoir levels, we wanted to provide you with the following information about Lake Morena: •The City of San Diego ceased drawing down water in February 2014. The water gauge level at that time was 85, which was the level the City committed to stop drawing. •Since that time the water level in the lake has continued to fall due to evaporation. •Over the past couple months staff has observed that the level of the lake has risen about one-foot. This is a result of direct rainfall; we have not received enough rainfall for Cottonwood Creek (main stream that feeds the lake) to flow into the lake. Current water gauge level is between 75 and 76. (Note: Due to siltation this is not an accurate measure of water depth.) •The City is required to make repairs/upgrades to the dam. This is part of the reason why the City lowered the water level in the lake. The City’s project schedule shows construction commencing in 2018 and being complete in late 2020. •Following completion of construction, refilling of the lake will have to take place naturally (rainfall) as there are no pipes to bring water to the lake. Once construction is complete the refilling of the reservoir will be entirely dependent on rainfall. However, it is possible that the City may continue to move water from Morena to lower level reservoirs that are more efficient (lower evaporation rate).

RAMONA’S WINEMAKING COMES OF AGE
By Miriam Raftery Photos by Mark and Miriam Raftery Photos, left: Bill Schweitzer, Ramona Valley Vineyards Association cofounder and past president at Highland Hills Winery; Pamo Valley Tasting Room on Holiday Wine Tour January 8, 2017 (Ramona) –“2016 is going to be our greatest vintage so far. Everybody says it came in perfect,” says Bill Schweitzer, cofounder of the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association (RVVA) in 2002, and a driving force in attaining an American Viticulture Area (AVA) designation for Ramona back in 2006. That’s due to the ideal combination of heat, rains and drought years—as well as years of efforts by local vintners now savoring the fruits of their labors. Sipping wine on the sunny patio at Highland Valley Winery during the Holiday Wine Trail event in December, he reflected that back in 2001, Ramona had just one winery (Schwaesdall) and 20 vineyards growing grapes. Today, there are at least 29 wineries in Ramona, soon to be 35, and 150 vineyards. Historically, San Diego’s inland areas were the origins of wine-growing in California—starting with grapes to supply the San Diego mission. Prohibition in the 1930s led farmers to rip out vineyards and plant other crops, such as water-hungry avocados. But today, vineyards have made a comeback. Ramona is now the hub of San Diego’s winemaking , attracting locals as well as visitors from outside the county. “It is doing really well because climatic conditions are really good for growing wine grapes,” Schweitzer notes. Like other fine winemaking regions of the world, Ramona has the combination of altitude and decomposed granite soils. Hot days and cold nights mean acids survive until harvest time. “That’s why we get great red wines,” Schweitzer explains. (Photos, left and right: Hatfield Creek Winery) There are also pockets capable of producing certain white wines similar to those grown in France, Greece and Italy’s wine regions. But the most popular white wine in the U.S., chardonnay, is not the Ramona region’s forte—and importing enough grapes to make it here isn’t allowed under county ordinances. So local winemakers instead introduce wine-tasting visitors to vintages they may not be familiar with, such as Viognier. After getting the coveted AVA designation in 2006, Ramona winemakers next fought to change a county ordinance that was still stuck in a Prohibition Era mindset. They formed the RVVA in 2003 and soon, an AVA committee. After learning consultants wanted $50,000, the vintners decided to do the work themselves. So they did research to learn how other California areas allowed small winemakers to thrive without forcing them to pay a quarter million dollars in fees for major use permits. In 2009, San Diego County passed a tiered winery ordinance spear-headed by Supervisor Dianne Jacob, but it was put on hold for several years due to lawsuits challenging the new law. The County won its case in in 2013, the ordinance finally went into effect. During that seven year gap, local vintners planted “a lot of vines” and bottled wines had ample time to age before they could be sold to the public. “ It was a blessing in disguise.” Today, some local vineyards that have invested in entering prestigious international wine competitions are reaping rewards. At last year’s Fingerlakes competition in New York, out of 100 double gold winners worldwide, three were from Ramona and the Highland Valley area locally. Another dozen local winemakers won single gold medals. Creating a “culture” of wine was an important goal, since wine lovers don’t want to drive miles only to visit just one tasting room. The RVVA has worked hard to promote Ramona as a destination for winetasting—and has built a cooperative, not competitive, spirit among local winemakers and grape growers. Richard McClellan (photo, left) owns Highland Valley Winery. Long an amateur wine-maker, he moved here in 2005 from Sonoma County to bring together family scattered across the U.S., buying up a former horse farm where thoroughbred race horses for the Del Mar track had formerly been raised. The property has a good well to supply water, ideal growing conditions for grapes –and an antebellum-style mansion for his extended family (photo, right). Down came horse ranch fence posts, and up went vineyard trellises. “I’ve pounded most of the nails,” says McClellan, who calls himself an “engineer experimenter.” “I’ve got 12 to 14 varietals now. I’ve got a complete tasting menu of wines, all made with grapes we’ve grown here, and less than 1% from adjacent properties. We make all the wine,” he says, seated on the terrace outside his winery’s tasting room, where a generous array of cheeses, deli meats, fruits and nuts are offered up for guests on the Holiday Wine Trail. There have been good years, and then there were years when “it all went down the drain,” he says. Some early pioneers in Ramona’s winemaking business were skeptical at first about supporting upstart competitors. “John Schwaesdall was somewhat lukewarm about getting more wines up here,” McClellan says. “Now they’re the biggest fans.” Schweitzer doesn’t make wine, but he grows grapes at Paccielo Vineyards (which means “{Piece of the Sky” in Highland Hills, an area where champagne grapes were once made for movie star Douglas Fairbanks. A former computer expert in Silicon Valley, he also is a co-owner of Ramona Gold Olive Oil, one of several side industries that Ramona’s burgeoning wine business has fostered. Four families cofounded it, including Scott and Donna Farquar, who traveled the world for the U.S. State Department and an entertainment company, tasting olive oil around the globe. It takes years for most wineries to become viable economically. “I’m making a profit, just out of my vineyard,” Schweitzer says. McClellan is still working toward profitability while reinvesting to plant more varietals. “This wine tour is a good thing,” McClellan affirmed during the December event sponsored by the RVVA. “We had 50 people here yesterday. A lot of visitors are wine connoisseurs. You don’t have to go to Temecula—we have good wines right here.” Schweitzer foresees Ramona growing to

CHARGERS TO RELOCATE TO LOS ANGELES; CUT 55-YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH SAN DIEGO
By Liz Alper Photo courtesy chargers.com January 12, 2017 (San Diego) – It’s official; the Chargers are gone. Dean Spanos, Chairman of the Chargers, announced this morning that the team is relocating to Los Angeles and will begin the 2017 NFL season as the Los Angeles Chargers. “San Diego has been our home for 56 years. It will always be part of our identity and, my family and I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for the support and passion our fans have shared with us over the years,” said Spanos in a written statement posted to Chargers.com. “But, today we turn the page and begin an exciting new era as the Los Angeles Chargers,” said Spanos. “L.A. is a remarkable place, and while we played our first season there in 1960 and have had fans there ever since, our entire organization knows that we have a tremendous amount of work to do. We must earn the respect and support of LA football fans. We must get back to winning. And we must make a meaningful contribution, not just on the field, but off the field as a leader and champion for the community.” “The Chargers are determined to fight for LA and we are excited to get started,” he concluded. The full statement from Spanos can be found here: www.FightforLA.com. The team launched www.FightforLA.com, a website that allows fans to place a fully refundable $100 deposit on season tickets for the 2017 season. Current Chargers Season Ticket Members will maintain their priority status and are not required to make a deposit. The Chargers’ temporary home will be StubHub Center, located on the campus of California State University Dominguez Hills in Carson and owned and operated by AEG. Capacity for Chargers games at StubHub Center will be 30,000 seats, with approximately 3,000 premium and field seats, 46 suites, 16 cabanas, and 10,000 on-site parking spaces. “The experience for our fans at StubHub Center will be fun and entertaining, and every seat will feel close to the action,” said A.G. Spanos, President – Business Operations for the Chargers. “This is a unique opportunity to see NFL action in such an intimate setting. The new stadium at Hollywood Park will be a tremendous stage, and we can’t wait to play there, but right now it’s about introducing ourselves and getting to know new fans and partners in a special, one-of-a-kind setting.” “Our ultimate goal is to bring L.A. a Super Bowl championship,” said John Spanos, President – Football Operations. “When we say we will fight for L.A., this is the essence of our pledge.” On the Reddit subreddit, r/Chargers, fans were beyond upset. Last night, a thread was posted that was titled “Number of Chargers fans that will drop their Chargers fandom if/when they move to LA.” Inside, the comments were scathing. Many even said they would stop watching football, like u/willywonka159, who said: “Trying not to get angry. The NFL doesn’t want fans in San Diego? Sucks for us, for me, but that’s the way it is. I won’t be watching a single football game again. Will not follow the Chargers to LA. Will not “choose a new team”. Just won’t watch football again. Too many good things in life that can fill my time up. Besides, I love my Padres. And any team (whether it’s MLS or not) that moves here will get my support and my money. Am I sad? Very much so. But I’m not going to let it bring me down so much. I’m going to live my life just as before, just without football.” u/rwilso7 agreed “Drop the Chargers? Drop the NFL– that should be the universal answer.” But the biggest comment came from u/rbsd55, who claimed to be a former Qualcomm board member. “If the team moves to LA , I am done. I Will never support them, won’t watch them on TV and most certainly not in person. I’ve been a season ticket holder and even served on the stadium board. I was on the board when the Chargers first asked for a new stadium. It was a legitimate request because the building has serious deficiencies. But to say they have tried to get a stadium for 15 years is misleading. In that time, the City nearly went bankrupt due to the pension fund crisis. Two mayors resigned. And, we went through a serious economic downturn. You need to back out at least 10 years. The city is not blameless, however. The deficit in leadership in this town is bigger than the pension deficit. A deal could have and should have gotten done but the city leaders sat on their hands for too long. None of them were willing to step up and take the lead from the city’s side. The mayor’s task force was way too little and way too late. And the mayor waited to long to endorse measure C. All that aside, I am a San Diegan before a Chargers or NFL fan. As I San Diegan, I am programmed to hate LA. The Chargers or whatever they choose to call themselves will just be something else that I hate about LA. I hope Dean and family enjoy watching their team play to empty seats and opposing fans. LA and its fans don’t want you or your crappie (sic) team. I predict that in a few years, you will sell the team before the bump in value from the move to LA evaporates because the loss in revenue will be too much.” With the move, the Padres are the last professional sports team in San Diego.

Smucker Company is expanding a voluntary recall on certain lots of 9LivesTM, EverPetTM, and Special KittyTM canned cat food due to possible low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1). Cats fed diets low in thiamine for several weeks may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is essential for cats. Symptoms of deficiency displayed by an affected cat can be gastrointestinal or neurological. Early signs of thiamine deficiency may include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting, and weight loss. In advanced cases, neurological signs can develop, which include ventroflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, circling, falling, and seizures. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat is displaying any of these symptoms. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency is typically reversible.
