Due to the current situation with the COVID-19 virus, this meeting has been cancelled.

Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in China and which has now been detected in almost 70 locations internationally, including in the United States. The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”).

The Centers for Disease Control has extensive information at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

As of May 1, the County is requiring you to wear face coverings in many public settings. The coverings help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and are part of our path to reopening San Diego. See health order (PDF)

Face coverings can be made of cloth. Homemade coverings, bandanas, scarves and neck gaiters are all OK. Medical grade masks should be saved for healthcare workers.

Sunday, November 17, 10 am – 2 pm – Free Pet Microchip and Vaccine event

The biggest things I see on NextDoor are, “I lost a pet” and “I found a pet”. Microchipping is an ID thing, not a “tracking” thing. If a pet comes in to a shelter they scan for an ID. If they find one they will contact the registered owner.

Wagging Dog Rescue will be hosting a free microchip and vaccine (for dogs) clinic at Elston Hay & Grain in Ramona – 2220 Main Street

Much like summertime, when you see your energy bills spike from using the A/C too often, wintertime is no different – but for opposite reasons. Rather than keep cool, you’ll be trying to stay warm! It’s no surprise that heating costs can take a toll on your budget and even cause unnecessary stress. But did you know that electric heating systems can total as much as 40% of your electric bill every month? While natural gas furnace heating can total more than half of your natural gas bill, there are several ways you can combat home heating costs and lower your electric bill.

If you’d like to cut your energy expenses and contribute to reducing environmental emissions, check out these six no-cost and low-cost tips and prepare to save:

1. Consider using programmable thermostats or time clocks that regulate temperature, setting them at comfortable temperatures while awake and only lowering them when you sleep or are out of the house.
2. Use the sun to your advantage and naturally heat your home throughout the day by keeping curtains that face the sun open.
3. Cover the inside of your window frames with clear plastic sheets to keep the heat from escaping your home or install insulated shades/drapes.
4. Use a portable space heater to warm up the rooms you spend the most time in, if possible.
5. If you have a fireplace, ensure the damper is closed to prevent the cold from coming in and the heat from escaping. And if you don’t use your fireplace, consider sealing/plugging the chimney flue.
6. Keep your heating systems in top shape by scheduling maintenance and changing the filter once a month (or when necessary).
