New Car
A man and his wife were driving through country on
his way from New York to California.Looking at his fuel gauge, he decided to stop at the
next gasoline station and fill up. About 15 minutes
later, he spots a Mobil station and pulls over to the
high octane pump.
What can I do for yall? asks the attendant. Fill
er up with high test, replies the driver. While the
attendant is filling up the tank, hes looking the car
up and down.
What kinda car is this? he asks. I never seen one
like it before.
Well, responds the driver, his chest swelling up with
pride, This, my boy is a 1999 Cadillac DeVille.
What alls it got in it? asks the attendant.
Well, says the driver, It has everything. Its loaded
with power steering, power seats, power sun roof,
power mirrors, AM/FM radio with a 10 deck CD
player in the trunk with 100 watts per channel,
8 speaker stereo, rack and pinion steering, disk
brakes all around, leather interior, digital instrument
package, and best of all, a 8.8 liter V12 engine.
Wow, says the attendant, Thats really something!
How much do I owe you for the gasoline? asks the
driver.
Thatll be $30.17, says the attendant.
The driver pulls out his money clip
and peels off a $20 and a $10. He
goes into his other pocket and pulls
out a handful of change. Mixed up
with the change are a few golf tees.
What are those little wooden things? asks the atten-
dant.
Thats what I put my balls on when I drive, says thedriver.
Wow, says the attendant, Those Cadillac people
think of everything!

MANAGERS CORNER
Please take a moment andinspect the new car wash facility.Rutherford Management had theold dilapidated car wash struc-tures removed and installed onebrand new state of the art metal
facility.A new reinforced slab was
poured with a very nice finish. Youwill also notice that the drains workmuch better now.
Have you all gotten used towriting 2013 on your correspon-dence and checks?
Re: Checks
Speaking of checks and corre-spondence, Jeff would like to re-mind the residents that when sub-mitting payment for your monthly
space rents that you follow thesesimple procedures:
1. Please remove the top por-tion of the monthly space rentalstatement and submit it with yourcheck or money order.
2. Please place your paymentand the top portion of your state-ment in the envelope provided.
3. To eliminate potential latecharges, please insure that theperson submitting payment is onyour month-to-month or long-termlease documents. We cannot ac-
cept ANY payments from anyoneother than persons on the leasedocuments.
4. Remember, too much infor-mation when submitting your pay-ments is better than too little or noinformation at all.
Your Sewer System:
We continue to find LARGEamounts of handi-wipes (babywipes) in the sewer system whenthere is a backup in the main
line. Recently we observed abouttwo (2) POUNDS of baby wipesremoved in one spot from themainline. I, for one, was simplyamazed.
A reminder: If your life styledictates the use of this type ofhygiene products, we would askthat do NOT introduce them intothe sewer system. We would rec-ommend that you treat this typeof product exactly as you wouldother female hygiene products.
Dispose of them in the garbage.
Reserving the club house for your
special events:
Please plan on reserving yourclubhouse based on the following
guidelines: The main clubhousetypically is reserved three (3)months in advance and the smallclub house is about six (6) weeks inadvance.
The procedure is very simple,just complete the club house res-ervation form (located in the mainclubhouse to the left of the bulle-tin board). Bring your completedform into the office with a $100.00refundable cleaning depositcheck or money order made pay-able to Spanish Ranch #1. We will
then check the availability of theclub house requested, and putyou down for your date.
Your deposit monies will be re-turned to you after your event ifthe following conditions are met:
1. All trash is removed fromthe clubhouse areas. This includesall balloons, banners and othercelebration trappings associatedwith your party.
2. New plastic trash can linersare installed in all trash cans

7. All chairs and tables arerestored to their original locationsaccording to the guidelines sup-plied.
8. Lastly, the outside of thebuilding is policed and any debrisin cleaned up.
Remember, someone else willbe using the clubhouse facilitiesimmediately after you and will ex-pect it to be clean.

Jeff would also ask for yourhelp on a personal level and thathas to do with the pager number.
The pager number is for emer-gencies ONLY. When you dial thepager number, regardless of whattime of day or night it is, or whatday it is, someone will respondand typically it is me.
We want to know if there is anemergency and we want you tofeel comfortable about using thepager.
When you dial the pager num-ber you have three (3) options andthey are as follows:
Leave a voice mail mes-sage.
Leave a phone number (nu-meric page).
Leave a voice mail mes-sage and a phone number (nu-meric page).
When you leave a voice mailmessage, speak clearly and slow-ly. Leave your Name, your phonenumber, your address with yourmessage.
When you leave your phonenumber (numeric page), pleaseinsure you leave your area codealong with your seven digit phonenumber.
If I cannot understand yourmessage, especially your phonenumber or your address, I will mostlikely NOT return your call.
What IS an emergency?
An emergency is when youdo not have any water, electricityor there is a main line backup.
An emergency might be ifyou see water shooting out of theground where it should not be.
An emergency is if you seesparks emanating from an electri-cal transformer.

ing through the community. Youshould call the police

If your garbage has notbeen picked up. Call waste man-agement the next business day.
If your telephone is not work-ing, call your phone provider.
If your television is not work-ing, call your cable provider.
Before you dial the pager
number, please remember to askyourself, Is this something that canwait until the next morning?
The other thing I would askyour cooperation with is knockingon my door after business hourswhen you have a question re-garding a non-emergency issue.
Guillermos Corner:
Guillermo has a suggestion forevery resident to accomplish dur-ing a water system shut down. If
this event is planned (you will benotified 72 hours in advance) oran emergency, once you recog-nize that the water has been shutdown for repairs, go outside andopen the hose bib. Once the wa-ter service has been restored, thiswill allow your system to be purgedof air. This will prevent the spittingand sputtering of your sinks, toi-lets and washing machines.
Graffiti is everywhere. Thetaggers have moved from theexterior of the park to the inside
of your clubhouses! A person orpeople unknown have been tag-ging the laundry room in the main
club house. Please be aware andif you see someone suspiciouslyholding a spray paint can in theirhands, take note of whom, whereand when and report this to man-agement.
Trash continues to be an issuethroughout your community. We
are discovering trash in the visitorparking areas, in and around theclub house common areas, andcontinuing in the car wash areas.
One challenge that Guillermofaces on an ongoing basis is aresult of clothing collections. Asresidents are placing their bagsof clothing on the curb in front oftheir homes, we have other indi-viduals that are picking up thesebags of clothing, taking them tothe car wash area and then sort-ing through them, spreading themall over in the process.
We would ask that your cloth-ing donations be placed in frontof your home no sooner than thenight before the pickup, or evenearly in the morning if at all pos-sible and not put them out days inadvance.
Guillermo thanks everyone fortheir continued help by report-ing streetlights being out. We re-ceived reports of 13 lights beingout over the past 30 days

IF ITS NOT YOURS,
DONT FEED IT!(and if it is yours, keep it inside)
Sure, you feel sorry for that stray cat or dog,but if you feed it, it WILL stick around and per-haps not go back to its rightful family.
Dont leave pet food outside! Food left outwill attract raccoons, stray pets, opossums, and
other varmints! Only indoor pets are permitted in the park so dontencourage outside animals to stay!

The Contractors State Li-cense Board (CSLB) advises thatunscrupulous and unlicensedcontractors continue to targetmobilehome parks throughoutCalifornia. Many mobilehome
park residents have launchedcomplaints against dishonestcontractors who have taken ad-vantage of them. Such scamsinvolve home re-piping, heat-ing, air conditioning, jack repairs,pad changes, and re-leveling.
Travelers, or clans of illegalcontractors move from town totown soliciting elderly mobilehomeowners to sign contracts for work.Many times these unsuspectingresidents are talked into repairs
that are unnecessary and whenthe work is performed, it is gener-ally substandard or incomplete.The elderly are targeted becausethey tend to be more trusting orcan be intimidated and feel theymust agree to the pitch. Also, be-cause of a lifetime of saving, se-niors generally have more cashavailable or equity in their homes.Unfortunately, when they becomethe victims of scams, many elderlyare reluctant to file a complaint
as they feel it might reflect upontheir ability to handle life situations.
In order to combat thesescams, the CSLB created a State-wide Investigative Fraud Team
(SWIFT) which has been success-ful in various undercover stingoperations throughout the state.Bands of unscrupulous and illegalcontractors have been cited andmisdemeanor notices have beenissued for court appearances.
If anyone offers you a free in-spection, please take heed! Checktheir contractors license numberwith the CSLB and verify that the li-cense number, business name andbusiness address match with infor-
mation given by the contractor.
Anyone performing contract-ing work in excess of $500.00MUST be licensed by the CSLB. Inorder to become licensed, con-tractors must have worked atleast four years in their selectedfield, pass a two-part examina-tion, post a license bond, andprovide workers compenationinsurance for their employees.
The Contractors State LicenseBoard operates under the umbrel-la of the California Departmentof Consumer Affairs. The CSLB li-censes and regulates Californias278,000 contractors. It is interest-ing to note that the CSLB investi-gates 25,000 complaints againstcontractors annually. If you wishto launch a complaint against acontractor, or suspect contrac-tor fraud, please call 1 (800) 321-2752 or go to www.cslb.ca.gov.

Minutes of the December meeting were reviewedand approved.
Treasurers Report: E-mailed in advance of themeeting showing a balance of $1,362.17, and wasapproved.
Resident Concerns: Two major sewer backupswere experienced by residents during the holidays,filling areas around cleanouts with raw sewage andtoilet paper. There was a general discussion about thestate of the sewers which are known to be aging andproblematic. A board member was designated to in-quire of management about the problem and findout if there are any fixes or upgrades in the works.
An inquiry was made about the repaving of thepark streets which, it was understood, was to be ac-complished in two phases and involve a completeredo and not just a slurry topping. It was noted thatsome of the park streets are in abysmal shape andthis work is seriously needed. The President will inquireof management where this project stands and alsocheck on the status of the tree trimming following areport from Helping Hand.
SOCIAL
Chili Supper: Postponed from December, the newdate is February 23, 2013, with a reservation deadline
of February 16. This is a Bingo Saturday, so the eventis scheduled for after Bingo, from 5 pm to 7 pm. Set-up will be coordinated with Bingo and the NERT-runsnack bar.
It was reported that the Holiday Brunch sponsoredby management had an excellent turnout and thoseattending reported good food. There were reported-ly around 85 gifts distributed by the volunteer Santa.
COMMITTEES:
A Flea Market is planned for March or April with adate to be determined and Patty Little in charge.
Helping Handone call about help with a tree
that was determined to be a park tree so the personwas advised to put in a request to management.
COMMUNITY:
NERT: An Emergency Prep meeting is scheduled forJanuary 15, 2013 in the Main Clubhouse. In discuss-ing attendance at the EP meetings, or lack thereof,was noted that there is little if any feedback on whattranspired at the meetings and what has been done.Since the combined NERT/Disaster people that com-prise the committee are mostly the same people that
participate in the board and Neighborhood Watch,it was suggested that regular EP meetings could al-ternate with NW which could generate reports aboutwhat was discussed and decided and these wouldbe published in the El Toro. Jeanie agreed we should
already be doing this and will see to it.Neighborhood Watch meets February 12. Clint re-
ported some of the usual disturbances. Several re-ported having a good time at the Citys Neighbor-hood Alert holiday event.
OLD BUSINESS:
HMOAStill need position filled. Next meeting isJanuary 19 at Georgian Manor.
Notification: President reported that she had sentmanagement a message suggesting an outgoingvoice message be switched on when they become
aware of water shutoff or other common issue, andhad received a positive response that it could beconsidered but that costs may be a concern.
NEW BUSINESS:
Charity Drives: Given the lack of paticipation fromthe community to the ever-changing charity drives,it was decided to discontinue them in favor of occa-sional special solicitations for specific recipients, suchas Sulphur Creek or the Hayward Animal Shelter, per-haps coordinated with events or speakers from theseorganizations.
Nominating Committee: The bylaws call for thiscommittee to be formed in March for April electionsso this will be dealth with next month.
A flyer that was distributed by former residents, ap-parently soliciting business, was mentioned, but thosewhod gotten it just threw it away.
Respectfully submitted,Jeanie Schultz, Secretary
