http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/3730 By Don Juan Ortega, on January 23rd, 2014 SJC Patch: Capo Unified Facing No Cuts for the First Time in Years
This is welcome news for Capistrano Unified, after seven consecutive years of mandatory budget cuts and fiscal belt-tightening. Sometimes forced austerity can result in desirable efficiencies and improvements, which hopefully won’t be lost in this year’s budget. The Trustees deserve credit for [...]
http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/3708 By Don Juan Ortega, on January 21st, 2014 We previously linked to a Capistrano Unified Trustee’s op-ed in the SJC Patch arguing against the request for rezoning submitted by the developer of a proposed 100-unit Rancho San Juan apartment complex near San Juan Hills High School. That link is here. We described that op-ed as arguing that “the proposed zoning change should be [...]

Esencia! Speaking of that new school, our friend and CUSD Trustee Jim Reardon has suggested that the K-8 school be named the “Richard J. O’Neill School” in honor of Rancho Mission Viejo [...]
http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/3600 By Don Juan Ortega, on January 2nd, 2014 Buried in a Patch article about a new CUSD school in Rancho Mission Viejo is this nugget, Planning Area 2 will be named “Esencia.” If you recall, “Sendero” means “path” in Spanish. “Esencia” means “essence” but more in the “fragrance” sense of the word (as opposed to “essential”).
http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/2550 By Don Juan Ortega, on November 19th, 2013 With the success of Sendero (originally known to some of us as Planning Area 1), Rancho Mission Viejo is already working on Planning Area 2:
For those who are just starting the home shopping process, Rancho Mission Viejo would still welcome you out. As Johnson explained, “We’re already working on Planning Area 2 to begin [...]
http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/3253 By Don Juan Ortega, on October 16th, 2013 In our article about the flare-up at last night’s San Juan Capistrano City Council meeting, we referenced a “push poll” (or as Councilman Reeve called it, a “push-pull poll”) that seemed designed to influence the survey respondents more than it was designed to survey they feelings about the recall. The correct term for it, by [...]
