I believe the Edgmoor Community Garden is no longer operating. There has been some discussion of…Read More starting a new one somewhere else in the city, but I don't think that has happened yet. I'll check with some of my contacts and see if I can post info for those interested in taking part in a new garden. If you find out more, please post info here.

Mayor Randy Voepel May 23, 2013 at 11:59 am
That section is Cal-Trans and they run that intersection. Also the area next to the intersection…Read More where a runaway feature could be installed, belongs to the City of San Diego not Santee. Santee has asked for various mitigations and Cal-Trans has only responded with more "rumble strips". Very frustrating to everybody in Santee Sluggo including this Mayor.

I think the communities, Santee here, should band together and raise that money for school…Read More supplies,instead of the teachers. I for one would throw in the first $100. I think between the residents and the local businesses we could raise the $10,000 to $15,000 that I am guessing would be needed. In Scripps Ranch, where both my kids attended school, the parents banded together and covered a HALF A MILLION shortfall in no time about 9 years ago during the cuts. And you don't have to have kids in school now to contribute. I don't anymore,BUT GOOD PUBLIC education with the right tools BENEFITS ALL AND THE FUTURE OF AMERICA MOST OF ALL. So I am first.

That's awesome!
We wish you success and recovery.
We suggest two books; A Purpose Driven Life by…Read More Rick Warren and Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill.
I hope to be in a position to hire a salesman this fall.

Anyone else recommend a Santee family owned business that's outside the city?

No drop down menus, just click the header links for more options. For story categories click news…Read More and look on the left hand column. I know the redesign will take a bit to get used to, but I really think it will be a better site for community engagement, and easier to use.
Feel free to post your feedback to the redesign on the boards, I'll check it out and respond, but you might also send your feedback straight to Patch headquarters with this form- http://feedback.aol.com/rs/rs.php?sid=patch Engineers will be furiously tweeking the new site based on your suggestions.

this is why the battlefield has changed temporarily from the political arena to the Energy Arena.…Read More Co Gen Tricks and the usual suspects are making their big money bet on two inevitable facts that will force the hand of the CPUC and CEC to place a new gas power plant somewhere in the area. 1) the Electric Vehicle Mandate. 2) voltage support (power factor) needed by the industrial wind and solar farms in the desert. There is more to what meets the eye with the aggressive push by the usual suspects to cover our open spaces in the East County with these poorly sited RE projects. More wind and solar farms means more gas power plants. There is only one way to fight the destruction of our open spaces, and that is with roof top solar, conservation, energy efficiency and community owned energy districts. The fisrt thing that needs to be done is the City of Santee exempt residential scale PV installs from needing a building permit. Australia, Germany and the State of Vermont do not require a Building Permit to install PV.

Well said Stephen!
Knowledge is TRULY power! The fight is not over! Cogentrix is just once…Read More again playing their wait, wait, wait game in the public eye and playing their lobbying game behind closed doors.
