By KAREN BRAINARD A proposed medical marijuana facility elicited the most discussion and public comments at the Ramona Community Planning Group’s Jan. 10 meeting, which had a full agenda that also included a skatepark proposal, modifications to an AT&T Mobility mono-tree, and State Route 67 and Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection funding.

Lance Rogers, a San Diego attorney representing Mother Earth Alternative Healing Cooperative, presented a preliminary proposal for a medical marijuana co-op at 1339 Walnut St. — a location that had many questioning whether it fit within the county guidelines. Rogers said the building, in an industrial M-54 zone, meets the county’s zoning qualifications and has been approved by the county’s Planning and Development

Services Department. He said he was seeking approval from the planning group. RCPG Chair Jim Piva said the group could not take action because it had not received any information from the county. Piva, as well as other RCPG members, said he understood that medical marijuana benefits those who are suffering, but said it needs to fit in the community. “I think maybe the location might not be right,” Piva said.

According to the county’s ordinance on “medical marijuana collective facilities,” such an establishment is not allowed within 1,000 feet of a residential use parcel, or from a school, playground, park, church, recreation center, or youth center.

Sewer connection and mitigation fees that have been blamed for stifling business growth could possibly be reduced if the Ramona Municipal Water District conducts a fee study, said its general manager, David Barnum. At its Jan. 8 meeting, the water board authorized Barnum to obtain estimates from qualified third party consultants to conduct a fee study as the next step in the long term master planning process for the Santa Maria Wastewater Reclamation Plant. Barnum said he hopes to bring the estimates to the board by early March. “We’re hoping that through the fee study there’s the potentiality the fees may actually come down in the future,” he said. A $20,000 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU)

fee is required for all new sewer connections within the Santa Maria boundaries to help pay for the plant’s expansion. Of that, $5,432 per EDU is a connection fee and $14,568 per EDU is a mitigation fee. The plant was targeted for a three-phased $34 million expansion to handle additional capacity due to growth forecasts and because the plant exceeded flows during a wet weather time period in 2005. In June 2012, however, Mike Metts, the district’s contracted engineer, told the board that the expansion may not be needed in the near future because of slow growth. He also said the overflow in 2005 was probably due to stormwater infiltrating the system. Improvements are still needed at the plant, he said at the board’s Jan. 8 meeting, but at an estimated cost of $16.5 million.

Water board elects 2013 officers, retains 2 p.m. meeting By KAREN BRAINARD With the start of a new year and the seating of two new directors on Jan. 8, the Ramona Municipal Water District Board elected its 2013 officer slate that will be headed by Darrell Beck as president. The board also agreed to ad hoc committee appointments and by a 3-2 vote kept the 2 p.m. time slot for meetings. Meetings are held the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month in Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. Beck, the Division 1 director, most recently served as vice president and has been on the board since 2008. Director Joe Zenovic, who represents Division 4, was chosen as vice president. The board elected newcomers George Foote as secretary and Rex Schildhouse as treasurer. Foote won in the November election to represent Division 5, and Schildhouse

for Division 3. Kit Kesinger, elected to the board in 2010, represents Division 2. Beck will also serve as the RMWD director to the Association of California Water Agencies Joint Powers Insurance Authority’s (ACWA/JPIA), the district’s insurance carrier. The JPIA is a partnership of water agencies that provides risk-sharing pools to help minimize insurance costs. Mike Callahan, RMWD’s Human Resources director, will act as alternate director to the JPIA. The board reviewed its list of ad hoc committees that are advisory to the board with two directors serving on each committee and working with staff. “They typically revolve around a specific issue,” said RMWD General Manager David Barnum. The following appointments were made for ad hoc committees: •Board of Directors Role During Emergencies— Beck and Schildhouse •Spangler/San Vicente/

San Vicente Road—Zenovic and Foote •Santa Maria Upgrade—Beck and Zenovic •Montecito—Kesinger and Schildhouse •Undocumented Sewer Legislative Code & EDU Charges—Beck and Zenovic •Ramona Air Center and Community Facilities District—Schildhouse and Zenovic •Poway Pump Station Power Reliability—Foote and Zenovic The board eliminated two ad hocs that were no longer considered necessary: the Santa Maria Annexation Committee and the Desalination Project Draft Water Purchase Agreement Committee. Also discussed was the board’s meeting time. In 2009, the board changed its meeting time from 7:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and in 2012 moved the time to 2 p.m. by a 4-0 vote with Kesinger absent. Directors said the earlier time slot would save on overtime pay for staff who attend

the meetings. At last Tuesday’s meeting, Kesinger said the board serves the public and is doing a disservice if residents cannot attend. Kesinger said he has heard members of the public complain about the early afternoon meeting time. Noting his difficulty to attend because of his job, Kesinger said, “I’ve been able to make about 50 percent of the meetings.”

Other board members pointed to a survey of water agencies with most meeting in the morning or afternoon. Beck said that when meetings were held in the evenings, they often ran late. “I just think that 2 is a good time and we have been getting public participation,” said Zenovic. Schildhouse, however, supported a later time, noting many Ramonans work

outside the community. “I think it’s inconvenient for the people who should be here,” he said. Zenovic moved to retain the 2 p.m. time slot, which passed 3-2 with Schildhouse and Kesinger opposing. Also at the meeting, RMWD staff gave a detailed overview of the water district and its departments as orientation for the two new directors.

Piva re-elected RCPG chair, proposes town landmark sign Ramona Community Planning Group re-elected Jim Piva as chairman and Kristi Mansolf as secretary and approved Scotty Ensign as vice chairman at the group’s Jan. 10 meeting. This will be Piva’s second year as chair and about the

12th year for Mansolf to serve as secretary. Three new members and five re-elected members were installed at the meeting. Piva, Paul Stykel, Torry Brean, Eb Hogervorst, and Richard Tomlinson were sworn in for another term and new members Jim

Planning group secretary Kristi Mansolf reviews a document as chairman Jim Piva discusses landmark sign.

On the Agenda Thursday, Jan. 17 Ramona Unified School District Board, 6 p.m. closed session, 7 p.m. open to the public session, Wilson Administrative Center, 720 Ninth Street. Among agenda items: Report on governor’s

budget proposal, plans for student achievement at district schools, reports from employee unions, report on college and career readiness at Olive Peirce Middle School, and superintendent’s contract.

Cooper, Donna Myers, and Barbara Jensen were installed. At the meeting, Piva proposed a solid structure construction sign over Main Street between Ninth and Tenth Streets. The sign would say “Ramona” on both sides and be similar to signs in Encinitas, Little Italy and Hillcrest, he said. “There are several people that have offered monies to get it constructed,” he said. With Main Street being a state highway, Piva said he contacted Caltrans, which would not allow a banner to be hung over Main Street. According to Piva, Joe Hull at Caltrans said they could probably install a solid structure sign from which banners announcing events could be hung. Members agreed to discuss it at next month’s meeting on Feb. 7 and possibly form an ad hoc committee. The planning group will meet at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Library Community Room, 1275 Main St.

1,000 feet away. Noting he has children, the resident pointed out others in the audience who live nearby and have children. “We’ve got enough crime in Ramona,” he said. “I don’t know why we’d want to bring in a store that sells a class 1 narcotic.” Holly Michaels, president of Ramona Rebels Elite, said the cheer organization at 405 Maple St. is .3 miles (1,584 feet) from the proposed location, and over 100 children practice daily. “So just to protect our children, I am opposed to it,” Michaels said. When asked about crime in that area, Lt. James Bovet with the sheriff’s Ramona substation said the only homicide last year was in a house directly across from the proposed site and it involved marijuana. Shane Tatro, 34, was shot after getting into an argument with the homeowner, according to reports. Other concerns raised by planning group members and residents were increased traffic, potential for increased crime, and driving

impairment if any clients used the medical marijuana right after purchase. Rogers said Mother Earth does not allow use on site. Mother Earth Alternative Healing Cooperative formerly operated out of a warehouse in El Cajon, and was the only licensed facility in Southern California, Rogers said. All directors had to go through FBI background checks, there was exten-

sive security, and distribution was heavily regulated, he said. It operated for 14 months under state law and county ordinance but was forced to shut down by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), said Rogers. Although purchase of medical marijuana is legal in the state of California, it is still illegal at the federal level, he noted. Janet Matula with Mother Earth said the average patient age is 40-plus and a couple hundred patients stopped in per day. “Your recreational user does not feel comfortable in a place where police are,” she said. “I will tell you that I know there are people in this community who benefit from the use of medical marijuana,” Rogers told the RCPG. “Ultimately this could be a huge asset to this community as well. It could be a beacon of hope, literally, for people who benefit from this medicine, which has been legal in the state of California for 17 years.” Rogers estimated that there are 80,000 individuals who could benefit from the medical marijuana but have

no place to purchase it in unincorporated areas. A couple of cooperative members from other communities spoke in support of the venture and told of its transparency and compliance with the laws. RCPG member Jim Cooper questioned whether a medical marijuana identification card would be required but Rogers said the county only stipulates that a doctor’s recommendation is needed. Cooper said he “googled” dispensaries on the Internet

and found nine listed within nine miles of Ramona. Rogers, Bovet, and a marijuana licensing detective said they were not aware of other dispensaries in the unincorporated areas. As the RCPG could take no action, Piva told Rogers and cooperative members that he wanted them to hear the feedback and suggested they look for a better suited site. In other business: •Jeremy Benintende, chair of the Ramona Skatepark Committee, said that

once the committee has nonprofit status, it will be seeking a letter of endorsement from the RCPG to send to the county Parks and Recreation Department. Members reacted favorably to proposed plans for two small skateparks in Ramona, and Richard Tomlinson, chair of the parks and recreation subcommittee, said $90,000 in Park Lands Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) funds are available for a skatepark in Ramona. •Piva said he will be meeting with County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, Caltrans, and Gary Gallegos, executive director of San Diego Association of Governments, on Jan. 16 to see if the transportation impact fees that are earmarked for Highland Valley Road could be used to improve the Route 67 and Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection. •RCPG approved AT&T’s minor use permit to modify its 35-foot tall mono-tree at 16359 State Route 67, but requested conditions to mitigate the impact for neighboris. The upgrades will improve Internet, texting and other cell services, said a representative for AT&T.

Chase in stolen pickup ends in suspected burglar’s arrest A 32-year-old Chula Vista man was in custody this week on suspicion of breaking into several Ramona homes and leading sheriff’s deputies on a chase in a stolen pickup Monday

afternoon, authorities report. The suspect, identified as Oscar Edwardo Torres of Chula Vista, doused himself with gasoline while in the vehicle, said Lt. James

Search for man leads to a stolen vehicle Sheriff’s deputies were unable to find the man they were looking for after searching a home in the 2500 block of San Diego Avenue on Saturday, but they did find a stolen vehicle and collected evidence, said a spokesperson with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The deputies called in a sheriff’s helicopter and canine unit to search for Gabriel S. Lopez, who had an outstanding warrant for possession of a concealed weapon, said Sgt. Brian Hout with the Ramona

substation. After asking everyone in the house to step outside and show identification, deputies searched the house but did not find Lopez, said Melissa Aquino with the sheriff’s department. No other information was available. The sheriff’s department asks that anyone with information about Lopez's whereabouts to call the sheriff’s non-emergency number at 858-565-5200, or Crime Stoppers’ anonymous tip line at 888-5808477.

Bovet with the sheriff’s Ramona substation. Around 3 p.m. Jan. 14, Ramona deputies received a call of a suspicious person in the 17000 block of Ridgeview Lane on the west side of Ramona, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Ken Jones. Witness reported that the man had black paint on his face and arms and that he fled in a Ford F-150 that had been parked in the driveway of one of the homes he allegedly en-

tered. “We actually found the vehicle as it was heading east on Main Street,” said Bovet. Deputies followed the vehicle as it went east on State Route 78, and a sheriff’s helicopter and canine units were called. “While being followed, the suspect began to throw objects out of the vehicle and doused himself with gasoline,” Jones reported. “He lit a towel on fire,

throwing it onto the roadway.” Deputies set up a spike strip, and the suspect pulled over on Route 78. Bovet said it was near the 48 mile marker near Santa Ysabel. According to Jones, Torres refused to exit the vehicle, and chemical agents and police dog were used. Torres was taken to Pomerado Hospital in Poway where he was treated for minor lacerations from the dog that had entered the

vehicle, Bovet said. Torres was then booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of residential burglary and vehicle theft. According to Bovet, the Ford truck was not the only vehicle Torres allegedly stole. “He stole a vehicle out of Spring Valley earlier in the day,” Bovet said. Torres was scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court in El Cajon on Jan. 16.

Trails and pathways — they provide critical connections

rails and pathways are each important to any comprehensive trail plan. To attempt to have one without the other simply does not work, especially in communities like Ramona. Trail and pathway plans fall under the supervision of the County Parks and Recreation Department, so it made sense for both trails

and pathways to remain under the guidance and supervision of that department. Pathways typically received input from the Department of Public Works (DPW), since they deal with roadways and sidewalks and such but were still conditioned on permits and supervised by Parks and Rec. Last year things changed and unincorporated com-

munities such as Ramona will have to see how it all plays out. Trails are defined as softsurfaced facilities for single or multiple uses by pedestrians, equestrians, and mountain bicyclists. They are typically away from motor vehicle roads and are primarily recreational in nature but can also serve as an alternative non-motorized transportation route. The primary purpose of trails is to provide the recreation, transportation, health, and quality of life benefits associated with walking, hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding throughout the County’s varied environments. Trails also provide accessibility and connectivity to scenic and recreational areas. Pathways are non-motorized transportation routes located within a parkway or road right-of-way. A riding and hiking trail in the road right-of-way is considered a pathway. Typical pathway width is 10 feet with decomposed granite or natural tread surface material (not paved). Pathways are intended to serve both circulation and recreation purposes. They provide a different experience from trails and are not

an equivalent substitute, they help make critical connections and are an integral part of a functional trail system. The Ramona Community Trails Plan provides details and descriptions related to both trails and pathways, maps of each, and a matrix or table as well. It is a wellplanned cohesive document that can only prove to serve our community in years to come, and in many ways. To have one without the other would create a bunch of trails and pathways connected to nothing, thus worth nothing. Ramona has had a Community Trails Plan since the late 1980s and a matrix of such since that time as well. In 2005 the plan was finally recognized and adopted by the county and placed under the Department of Parks and Recreation oversight. Our plan and many other community plans were updated in 2008 and the updates approved by the county. Last year, about mid-year, the county moved the oversight of Pathways to strictly under the Department of Public Works. No longer does the Parks and Rec Department have much, if any, say related to pathways in

our communities. This concerns me as a trails advocate, knowing that the DPW is not familiar with our community or not familiar with our Trails and Pathways Plan, or even worse — unfamiliar with both! For instance there is supposed to be a pathway along Olive Street to have a connection to the Ramona Community Park and eventually the Santa Maria Creek Greenway project (once completed), and the DPW is putting in concrete sidewalks rather than the pathway that is in the plan. Concrete is not a pathway surface by definition. When I asked them about their plans to continue the pathway efforts out there, prior to them pouring the concrete, I was told that they “decided that since it is mostly commercial in the direct area, concrete would be used” — even to my protest and attempts to educate them about the Trails and Pathways Plan, and even though most of Olive Street is residential — all to no avail. Concrete went in. Now with the DPW directly heading up pathways, I have to worry and wonder: Will there be any pathways built by definition? Will our Community Trails and

Pathways Plan be killed by a governmental agency that seems not to know or care about it or our community? There is some glimmer of hope with the DPW being interested in upgrading Barnett Ranch Open Space and the facilities within it by applying for a grant for such to go along with the San Vicente Road improvement project. They asked for community support at the Ramona Community Planning Group meeting at the end of 2012, and they seem to be aware of the pathway requirements for that particular project, at least at this time. I have to admit that I am apprehensive about the change in oversight and how things may play out over the coming years. I will remain steadfast in my support and involvement in providing trails and pathways in and around the community of Ramona. I will do my best to keep you all updated and hope that you may join me from time to time in supporting our community’s needs and wishes for trails and pathways.

VFW lauds students for patriotic essays By PIXIE SULSER Ramona’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3783 honored the winners of its annual student scholarship essay contest at a recent dinner at the post. Honorees, their families, and nominating teachers received accolades for their participation in the organization’s national Patriot’s Pen and Voice of Democracy scholarship competitions. From the 34 Patriot’s Pen essays the post received, eighth-grader JT Roulier’s essay response to the 2012 theme — “What would you say to our founding fathers?” — took first place honors. As the first place winner, JT’s work represented Ramona at the San Diego district level where it also took first place, earning his work the distinction of competing at the state level. Eighth-graders Jacob Powers and Ethan Parsons placed second and third, respectively, with essays on what they would say to our founding fathers. Each essay winner received a

certificate of recognition, a Patriot’s Pen participant pin, a VFW Post pin, and a scholarship check. At the high school level, students must write and record a speech responding to the Voice of Democracy contest theme. This year, participants spoke to the question, “Is the Constitution still relevant?” Twenty-seven students answered that query so succinctly that it took three rounds and much debate among the committee, according to VFW Program Chair Doug Scholl, before the top three were selected. RHS senior Kelly Gallagher’s words received first place honors at the local level earning her a $250 scholarship check. Gallagher, whose GPA is 4.5, is a four-year member of the school’s Associated Student Body (student government) and a four-year athlete on the tennis team. In addition, as the student representing RHS on Ramona Unified School District’s school board, she attends the board’s monthly meeting, where

she presents reports to the trustees and answers questions from the board or comments about how district issues affect students. Next year she plans to begin studying nursing at either SDSU, USD, Point Loma University or UCLA. Second place Voice of Democracy winner Kristyn Hietala, a junior at RHS, is a member of the school choir, the lacrosse team, and the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Club. Senior and U.S. Naval hopeful Tyler Sherman earned third place recognition for his response to the relevancy of the Constitution. Tyler is a 4.0 student

this year was so difficult. It was obvious the students had done research which truly allowed them to capture their values and personal priorities.”

What would you say to our Founding Fathers? Dear Founding Fathers, I wonder if you had any idea about how much of an impact you’ve had not only on generations of Americans, but the world, too? On the day of July 4, 1776, when you signed the Declaration of Independence, you wrote, “That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” These words inspired the colonists to fight for their dream of freedom and independence, and gave them the courage to stand up for what they believed in. Even today, your dream of freedom still inspires brave Americans to fight for those same freedoms. “We the People” are the beginning words of our Constitution signed in Philadelphia, Sept. 17, 1787. With just those simple words, you told the world that government could be ruled by the people, not by one person such as a king or a queen. No one thought that this type of government would last, but you have proved them wrong. No other country’s constitution has been in effect as long

It is a genius work of art that is crucial to our everyday lives. The question is not how does the Constitution affect us, but rather, how does it not? Let us take a regular day for an average citizen. It is Sunday morning, and Jane Smith will wake up in her home, having felt secure throughout the night, knowing her home was protected. She drives on a safe highway, where once again she is protected, but also given the right to travel freely. Her destination is her church, where she will freely practice her religion. After church, she heads back out on the road in her car, which she can trust to be safe in the case of an accident. She goes out to breakfast to eat in a local cafe, where her food is prepared according to health standards. She will pay with currency that is protected and valued. After eating, she heads to the bank where she will deposit her check she has earned from working, at a job where she is given just pay and benefits. Part of that check will be used to pay off a home loan, so that she may own property. She will return home to watch the news and discuss it openly with her children, without fear of repercussion, knowing she has the right to free speech. That night, she will receive a call from her husband, who is currently serving in the military protecting all the rights she and her children enjoy. He himself enjoys his right to bear arms and serve his country. All of these rights and countless more are given, promoted, and upheld by the system established by a document that is over 200 years old. This demonstrates the Constitution’s ability to remain a living document. The Constitution is the invisible force woven into every aspect of our lives. It creates an artful balance of power between the people and its governing body. It is the inspiration for all democracy, and has shaped an entire spirit of living. It has given U.S. citizens a gift that can never be taken away from them, because the very institution that creates it protects those rights. The U.S. Constitution provides us with the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, three things not only relevant, but indispensable to every citizen of our great nation.

Letters Brace yourself for higher speed Regardless if you don’t like the San Vicente Road project, SANDAG will ram this project down your throat. Too much money involved here. San Vicente Road is a good 40 to 45 mph road. What is the hurry to drive fast? All this road needs is a resurface and applicable shoulder work to accommodate a flat tire, bicycle, etc. The road project will not solve the problem of idiot people driving fast. Remember the pain of the pavement when you crash your car, motorcycle, bicycle, or pick up cans the disgusting public leave behind. Brace yourself for higher speed and associated damage. Paul Nichols Ramona

A look at superintendent’s contract As a general proposition, a Superintendent is the educational leader of a school district. The relationship between a superintendent and the community he or she serves is defined by the superintendent’s contract. Most educational communities fail to focus sufficient attention on the superintendent’s contract. Government entities like cities, counties, and school districts do not spend enough time reviewing a local leader’s contract. In any event, a superintendent’s contract is an important governing document. Our superintendent’s contract is for three years and contains provisions for the renewal of all terms and conditions (including the three-year term) even if the board does not take any formal action to renew the contract. Further, in terms of salary increases, the contract provides that the superintendent shall (if the board fails to evaluate the superintendent or his most recent evaluation is satisfactory) receive the same increase as the principals. Isn’t it possible that, even if the superintendent’s most recent performance is satisfactory, the principals might deserve a higher raise than the superintendent? Can’t the superintendent stand on his own when it comes to considering salary increases? Finally, if the superintendent receives a satisfactory performance evaluation for his most recent service, his contract is automatically renewed so that he has three additional years on his contract. Should the superintendent’s contract be automatically renewed for an additional three years just because his most recent performance is satisfactory? Should the superintendent’s contract be automatically renewed for an additional three years when API scores when compared to other districts at the higher quartiles are not very good? Should the superintendent’s contract be automatically renewed for an additional three years when the district is on the verge of bankruptcy? Should the superintendent’s contract be automatically renewed for an additional three years when the district’s long-term debt is shameful and unsustainable under current conditions? Should the superintendent’s contract be renewed when the district fails to pass a needed bond measure?

The time has come to take a stand By PATRICIA BRENNECKE The Sol Orchard Project proposed for 42.7 acres of farmland at Warnock Drive and Ramona Street will come before the county supervisors for a FINAL DECISION on Feb. 6 at 9 a.m. in Room 310 of the County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Coast Highway, San Diego. This industrial project will place agricultural land under solar panels that will range from 8 to 11 feet above ground. Think of this as a 42.7-acre low roofed building. Wow. This project has been twice before the Ramona Community Planning Group and twice it has received overwhelming dis-

Guest Commentary approval. Unfortunately, the county planning commissioners failed to take the position of our elected representatives at face value, overruled our locally elected officials and voted 6-1 to support this project. Ramona Community Planning Group and Citizens For A Rural Ramona (CFARR) (using private funds) have both requested a final review hearing before the county supervisors. Please understand that the Ramona Community Planning Group and CFARR were not opposed to solar energy as a renewable energy source but

voiced strong opposition to the picturesque, centrally located rural site that was selected. This will be the final opportunity for Ramona and its citizens to voice their opinions regarding this assault on our community. But we must be visible to be heard. So what can be done?? This is the time for every citizen to write a letter in opposition regarding this project to each of the five county supervisors, as each of them will vote on the final decision. Please take the time to defend our rural environment, as each and every one of us must strive to protect our natural heritage or it will be lost for future generations.

Sentinel Reader Opinion Carefully consider Compromise, not petitions, is better plan condition of road By KATHY DASILVA

By JIM SPENCER I won’t try to improve on Mike Loranger’s articulate defense of the planned San Vicente Road improvements (Ramona Sentinel, Jan. 10, 2013), except just to add a few points. While it does not surprise me that “some residents say they were not aware of the road realignment,” it nevertheless astonished me to read that the president of the SDCEA board had “never heard about the road improvements” in his three years on the board. Where have these folks been? Over the past year, alone, there have been at least several articles about the planned SVR improvements in the Ramona Sentinel. The county has certainly not kept this long-planned project a secret! Perhaps this lack of attention on the part of some may explain the seemingly knee-jerk 11th-hour reaction in opposition to sorely-needed road improvements into our neighborhood. And maybe it also explains the questionable propriety of expending association resources to advance a singular agenda. There is no question that the board of directors may take a particular position on any matter that impacts the community as a whole, as this project certainly will. But to actively solicit opposition by paying the expense of printing and mailing an argument against it and providing opposition petition forms for return on the association’s dime is, in my opinion, a stretch of the board’s authority. That point aside, however, I would like to address some of the arguments against the planned g

Brennecke

SVR improvements. While it is true that no road design, anywhere, can eliminate the reality of stupid and reckless drivers, the planned improvements of SVR will at least make the road safer for defensive driving. It is not only the recklessness of some drivers that cause accidents. The inability to take defensive action is also a major contributor. If, by easing some of the curves, and providing a couple of needed left-turn pockets, it makes it less likely for the inconsiderate driver to cause a collision due to the better driver being able to detect and avoid same, then the project would be worth it for that reason alone. Furthermore, our fixation with trees throughout our community probably needs to be re-examined. I like trees as much as anyone else. But how many trees is a human life worth? Would we sacrifice 100 trees to reduce the likelihood of someone being seriously injured or killed on SVR? Would we sacrifice 145? At what point do we decide that it is more important to save a tree at the expense of a lost or ruined life? Trees can and will be replaced. Human life, not so easily. I can no more speak for the entire community on this issue than can the board of directors. I encourage everyone, however, to carefully consider the current condition of SVR and ask themselves if they honestly don’t believe that improvements are long overdue. Even if one has signed a petition in opposition, he or she always has the right to change their mind and remove their name. Jim Spencer is a Ramona resident. From page 8

to sign (contact Donna Myers at 760-789-2652) and we encourage as many Ramona residents to show up at the Feb. 6 meeting as possible (over 100 would make a strong statement to the supervisors). Patricia Brennecke is a Ramona resident.

In response to all of the opinions and letters regarding the San Vicente Road improvement. It will not be four lanes. It will reduce the curves, not straighten them, and the two existing lanes will each be wider. Those of us who live on San Vicente Road and cannot safely leave our driveways would like to see this project done. As we try to get on the road, we are met with honking horns and one finger salutes because we have no line of sight and can’t go from stopped to 60 miles per hour in less than two seconds. Some of us have been hit. I watch the sheriffs, firefighters and ambulance crews try to help accident victims about twice a month.

Traffic is speeding, and speeding past the accident while the firefighters and sheriffs yell at the traffic to “slow down.” It isn’t all casino traffic. Some are teens rushing to get home. Some are adults rushing to the grocery store or wherever. The road needs to be straightened, not widened, simply for safety. We need to let people out of their driveways and easement roads and into traffic. We need to be proponents of reducing the worst curves and save as many oaks as possible. Simply saying no to the project won’t save lives and isn’t a solution. We all need to slow down, too. We chose to live in the country. We drive as if we’re in the city. The road isn’t the whole problem. I think speed contributes. If the parts of the road that are most dangerous

were straightened and the speed limit were dropped and enforced at 45mph, it might work. I read that some of the protest is due to the inconvenience that will add 10 to 15 minutes to SDCE commutes during construction. Why is everyone in such a hurry? It isn’t a match with the “rural” mindset. And yes, there are those who would ride their horses to Barnett Ranch on the pathway and some of us have worked to that end for the last year. The high school track team might enjoy training on the groomed pathway instead of running in the street. It seems a compromise, instead of petitions against the whole project, might be a better plan. Kathy DaSilva is a Ramona resident.

Another view of letter writer's one-liner By A.G. SMITH Well, I waited for a while to see if any more lib-speak came in; perhaps the adrenalin has waned. In response to previous knee-jerk reactions to my one-liner describing the president as an Aztec (i.e. red and black), gentlemen, calling a black man black is not racist. In your haste to fire back, you missed the “red” part. Calling a radical socialist a “red” is fitting: How else does one explain his failure to make JOBS his first priority instead of enacting a Trojan Horse medical plan? JFK said, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” It is apparent that President Obama believes that the U.S. is “... just too powerful and successful; it is my job to bring America into line with the rest of the world.” (Excuse us, as we sink a little more.) While the foundation of our Constitution goes back to ancient Greece, our ultra-lib Prexy would have our economy resemble that of modern Greece, now a pauper nation standing in line for German marks. While I am a lifetime Democrat, my party now exists in name only. Our last true Democrat was Harry

For another Viewpoint, see page 20

S. Truman and, possibly, if he had lived, JFK might have qualified, as he was a fiscal conservative (look it up, boys). LBJ, JFK’s successor, was the next socialist after FDR, throwing billions at inner-city, high-rise apartments that became vertical slums, and food stamps that were subverted for drugs and the favors of whores. (Jon, I understand your revulsion with Vietnam, but that was LBJ’s Big Lie. It took Richard Nixon to get us out of it. If coffee is too strong a beverage, you need to wake up and smell the tea.) Next up was James Earl Carter, who stood by as Iranian “students” built a head of steam, and eventually took our embassy staff hostage, who were then tortured for 444 days. The Russian embassy was also threatened, but the Reds had a much better response: the would-be “student leader” disappeared and some time later the group leadership received his head in a box, and that ended the assault. After the administrations of Ronald Reagan (when I became a bornagain Dem with Truman ideals), we saw Bush One’s ratings sour after our military’s success in Iraq, only

to fall precipitously when the Dems snowed him on a “no new taxes” shell game. Clinton’s admins were a wash. He held the U.S. steady in his eight years, but permitted top-secret missile technology to fall into Chinese hands. While Bush II continued to deal harshly with Muslim terrorists in the Middle East, in eight years he ran up the national debt $4 trillion, with such liberal fantasies as “No Child Left Behind,” which wearied elementary school teachers nationwide; and he pursued some other Dem pipedreams, as well. It has not taken the South Side community organizer just four years to match the Bush II eight-year debacle, and drive us to the dreaded cliff. Obama had never looked back, and doen’t intend to...the ObamaCare documents comprise over 2,500 pages. Does anyone believe that AARP, Blue Cross, CIGNA, Kaiser, Prudential, or UHC operate with such a mish-mash of hastily-drawn socialist hocus-pocus? Literary Liberal Lads: you need to grow up, politically. A.G. Smith is a Ramona resident.

What Jack Menotti never knew Editor’s note: Jack Menotti, former Ramona High School teacher and coach who died recently, was the subject of Bill Tamburrino’s TimeOut with Tambo column in last week’s Ramona Sentinel. By HAROLD SCHACHTER In my opinion, Jack was one of the “good guys.” What he probably never knew was

that his candid remark had made him a link in the chain that led to the creation of KBNN, the last commercially-licensed FM radio station that could be sited within San Diego County. Had any one of these “links” not occurred in the order they happened, the chances are that there never would have been a radio station. See SCHACHTER, page 11

OBITUARIES

Amber Lee Bernath 1984 – 2013

Amber Lee Bernath, 28, passed away on January 11, 2013, with her loved ones by her side. Amber was born on March 5, 1984, at Rainbow, Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, OH. After moving to Ramona with her family at a young age, Amber quickly realized her one true love; animals. From dogs and chickens to pigs and dolphins, Amber

never met an animal she didn’t love (or own!). Her compassion was contagious. Amber was a true original with a funky sense of style that was all her own. She considered shopping more than a hobby, but a means of self-expression. Amber had a knack for finding the perfect piece of jewelry and took great pride in her endless collection of charms. She loved sifting through vintage shops and reading about the latest fashion trends. Most recently, Amber discovered a love of cooking, a passion she shared with her mother. Testing out new recipes became a weekly routine and was something that Amber really enjoyed. A graduate of the Institute for Effective Education, Amber was a genuine soul who devoted her life to helping others. Whether volunteering at the local shelter or spending time with the disabled, Amber had a heart that

was forever open. She was sweet. She was kind. She was our Amber and she will be endlessly missed by all. She is survived by her mother, Betty Mae Bernath; aunts and uncles, Sue and Kevin Chapman, Judy and Jim Besunder, Marilyn and Michael Lapidies and family and Arlene and Stanley Bernath; cousins, Ashley and Chris Chapman, Alexandria and Jonathan Hirko, Vera, Ed, Leah and Shawn Dunagan, the Rothensfeld family, Deby Schwartz and the Folkman family; and adorable yellow Labrador, Lucy. She is preceded in death by her father, Robert George Bernath; and grandparents, Eva and Charles Bernath and Gladys and Bernard Jacobson. Memorial services are planned for Saturday, January 19, 2013, at 11 a.m. at the home of Janet Lenahan in Ramona, call 440-759-7851 for details. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made

in Amber’s name to PAWS San Diego, www. pawssandiego.org and to Congregation Etz Chaim, www.etzchaimramona.org, P.O. Box 1138, Ramona, CA 92065. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

She is the beloved mother of Carl Goulart, Glenn Goulart and Bruce Goulart, all of Connecticut, Diana Coyne of Arizona and Cindy Newman of California; and the beloved grandmother of Marie McCraney, Marjorie Goulart, Carl Goulart, Lisa Goulart, Donna Walker and Dylan Newman; beloved “GG” to her greatgrandchildren; and loved by her many nieces, nephews. Mikki lived in CT for many years and moved to CA in 1993. She was extremely loved by many and served as a surrogate mother and grandmother to countless extended family members and friends alike. There will be a service in Danbury, CT, on February 2, 2013, and another service will be held in Massachusetts in the spring.

Her kindness and love will always be remembered and greatly missed by all who knew her. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

Here’s the chain of events: Link One—November 1980. This writer is elected as a director of the RMWD, representing (the then) Division 3. Link Two—August 1982. At its regular meeting, a matter of vital importance to the Ramona community is discussed. Link Three—This writer waited with great anticipation for the Ramona Sen-

tinel’s next edition to see this vital matter reported. It never happened. The next edition was devoted to the upcoming Ramona Country Fair. Link Four—Saturday, Sept. 4 of the Labor Day holiday weekend dawned and I was in attendance at Ramona Kiwanis’ breakfast meeting, then at Kountry Kitchen. Menotti was in attendance, too. After the meeting had ended, I went

up to Jack and complained about the lack of coverage. Jack remarked to me, “You know what this town could use? Its very own radio station.” I had never even thought of that. Link Five—On Labor Day, Sept. 6, we were invited to some friends’ home for a barbecue. I shared Menotti’s remark to me. The host told me that, when he was in school, a teacher had commented

that our host had a good voice for radio. We went on to create the FCC’s frequency allocation of 100.1 megahertz (Mhz) to a site atop Vulcan Mountain, assigned to Julian, California, its community of license. Its signal could be heard throughout most of Ramona. But the creation of an FCC allocation does not entitle the creator-applicant to any special stand-

ing insofar as who will get a permit/license to build and operate a radio station broadcasting for said allocation. If there are other applicants, it becomes a matter of winning the FCC’s competition for said right. So it behooved us to maintain maximum secrecy for some eight-plus years to minimize competitors, even though such matters were publicly reported by the FCC.

That is why Jack Menotti was never told about what his candid remark had wrought. Nuevo Communications Inc. won the competition, and the rest, as they say, is history. Harold Schachter is a Ramona resident. Editor’s note: Nuevo Communications Inc. sold KBNN in August of 1995, and KLUV is now at 100.1FM.

Mountain Valley Academy students 'send a kiss’ for Sandy Hook school By MAUREEN ROBERTSON When Emily, Russell, and Stephen McCubbin heard about the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., their plans for Christmas money changed. “They had been raising money for Christmas spend-

ing by selling mistletoe,” said Carol Tennebaum, Ramona Community School principal. “However, when they heard about the tragedy at Sandy Hook, they decided to do something to help” On Dec. 20, a 20-year-old Newtown resident shot and killed 20 students and six adults and injured two others

at Sandy Hook school before killing himself. “I was so shocked about what happened,” said Emily, 16, and a junior at RCS’ Mountain Valley Academy. Emily and her brothers, 13-year-old Stephen and 15-year-old Russell, had planned to earn money to buy Christmas presents by selling mistletoe their father, Michael, climbed a tree to get for them. Russell is a 10th-grader at Mountain Valley Academy and Stephen is a seventh-grader. They talked to their mother, Kris, about their idea to send money they raise selling mistletoe to Connecticut to benefit the students at Sandy Hook. They received her support and got busy. With posters and a great deal of enthusiasm, they accepted donations at a table in front of Ramona Community School at 1010 Ramona St. before and after school for several days before the winter break. In addition, an automated message went to all Ramona schools.

Their message to the school community read: “There is consideration of demolishing the school (Sandy Hook Elementary) and building another in its place. We thought we could make a contribution to their endeavor. It might only buy pencils, a desk or building materials, but it would let the community know that we care and send our thoughts and

prayers. We have prepared bags of mistletoe. We would like to sell them for $1. The proceeds would go to Sandy Hook Elementary, our way of sending them a kiss.” Tennebaum described the response as wonderful. Commenting on the generosity of those donating, the three students said some fellow students “dug into their pockets” and gave them

By the time they finished, they had raised $459, their mother reported. The money’s been sent to the Connecticut PTSA earmarked for Sandy Hook.

Judge orders Green to stand trial for manslaughter By NEAL PUTNAM A Ramona man was ordered Jan. 8 to stand trial on a charge of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated in 2011. After hearing from California Highway Patrol officers, El Cajon Superior Court Judge Lantz Lewis held Harold Lee Green Jr., 50, to answer for the Nov. 12, 2011, death of his back seat passenger, Mark Andrew Jones, 52, of Ramona. Green pleaded not guilty at the conclusion of his preliminary hearing, and Lewis set a trial date for March 4. Green remains free on his own recognizance on condition he abstains from

alcohol and does not drive, according to court records. Green also was ordered to stand trial for driving under the influence of alcohol and causing great bodily injury to another passenger, Michael McComack, 56. Green’s attorney is former District Attorney Paul Pfingst. Deputy District Attorney Andrew Aguilar said Green’s blood/alcohol level after the crash was .24, which is three times the legal limit. According to reports, Green was driving a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda southbound on Ashley Road from Telford Lane at a high rate of speed and he appar-

ently tried to turn, causing the vehicle to hit a street sign and then a retaining wall. Jones was ejected from the vehicle as it rolled over.

Pfingst couldn’t be reached for comment. Charges were not filed against Green until July 30, 2012. He was also injured in the crash.

By NEAL PUTNAM A Ramona man who was arrested on a warrant by sheriff’s deputies who shot and killed a pit bull afterwards has been sentenced to two years in state prison for felony assault upon a man in 2011. Jared Michael Smith, 24, was arrested Dec. 2 because he violated terms of probation in a case in which he pleaded guilty to felony assault, according to court

records in El Cajon Superior Court. Smith was sentenced Jan. 3 by Judge John Thompson, who fined him $424. Thompson gave him credit for already serving 224 days in jail. He declined to put Smith on probation again. Smith also appeared Jan. 7 before Judge Roger Krauel for violating terms of his probation in a misdemeanor case that involved alcohol abuse. Records say Smith

pleaded guilty to hit and run, being drunk in public, and committing reckless driving in an April 26, 2011, incident when he lived in Santee. Smith had been on probation for the misdemeanors, and Krauel terminated the case because of the prison sentence. He received credit of serving 73 days in jail in 2011. The cases have nothing to with the pit bull incident on

Vicente Road improvement project. Cahak said he was proactive about 12 years ago in proposing a tree mitigation program but is not involved in any current plans.

Brandiron Street as deputies were there because of a warrant for Smith’s arrest. Deputies say the pit bull advanced toward them and they shot him to death. Brianna Fox, the dog’s owner, said the dog did not attack the deputies and had a tennis ball in his mouth at the time. In an email, she said she is considering options in possible legal action against the sheriff’s department.

Four-member RHS auto team splits $3,000 Cold snap brings hail top prize in national hot rod competition By ROBERT GRAEFF “Communication was the key to their success,” Ramona High School auto teacher Robert Grace said of the junior class auto team’s first-place win at the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) competition held at the Pomona Fairgrounds. Team members Ryan Hall, Mike Jones, David Taft, and Brandon Arthur put forth a “total team effort” to earn top honors out of 17 other teams, said Grace. The team took home a $3,000 check and another trophy for the RHS auto program showcase. The RHS junior and senior teams prepared for weeks, studying during class and after school under the direction of Grace and fellow ROP (Regional Occupational Program) teacher Mike Saavedra. A week before the competition, the teams at-

tended a qualifying event designed to select only the top eight qualifiers to battle in the main event at the Pomona Fairgrounds. When the dust settled, both Ramona teams had earned a chance to compete. On the day of the 24th Annual NHRA Career Opportunities Fair, the Ramona teams went head to head against six other top rated groups in what Grace described as a “very difficult” written test on auto industry standards. The studying paid off as RHS had two of the four teams in the semifinal round. The semi-finals found each team focusing on electrical trouble shooting

as they raced to diagnose problems and rewire a turn signal. “It was a think on your feet, go as fast as you can kind of event,” said Grace. The RHS juniors were the only team to end up with a fully functioning turn signal, putting them right into the finals against the secondplace team from Rim of the World High School in Lake Arrowhead, Calif. The RHS senior team placed third in the contest. “Basically,” explained Grace, “the final competition consisted of working on a non-operational Tbucket roadster. The teams had to crank it and then

get it to run. The team that could do it first would be the champ.” Ramona walked away victorious. The NHRA event is the only competition that pays the winners directly, so the four-man team of Hall, Jones, Taft and Arthur will split their $3,000 in winnings. Grace said that usually the awards are in the form of scholarships rather than a direct payment. “Watching the team work under pressure and complete the project is really the highlight of the challenge,” said Grace. “These types of situations, whether they win or not, creates a workplace confidence and gives these students an edge in the job market some day. Just like any other competitor, the auto athlete walks away with higher self-esteem, a sense of pride in a job well done, and the knowledge that he or she proudly represented Ramona High.”

Friday, Jan. 11. Construction for the road project, proposed in 1993, is scheduled to begin this fall. The County Board of Supervisors is expected to discuss and award a construction contract around June. “Given the safety hazards on the road, county staff has been working at the community’s request on a plan for a number of years to bring much-needed improvements,” Jacob said in an email. “Although I don’t want to see this project shelved, it is important that we get it right. My expectation is that county staff will work with the folks in the San Diego Country Estates to address concerns before the project comes to the Board of Supervisors.”

Weight: More than ‘calories in, calories out’ for some By JANINE MONIOT “No Other Human Condition Combines Obesity’s Prevalence And Prejudice; Sickness and Stigma; Death and Discrimination,” according to The Downy Obesity report’s website. The Obesity Journal reports, “Weight bias translates into inequities in employment settings, health-care facilities, and educational institutions, often due to widespread negative stereotypes that overweight and obese persons are lazy, unmotivated, lacking in self-discipline, less competent, noncompliant, and sloppy.” Peter San Nicolas’ ”Enough is Enough” column may have unwittingly reinforced those negative stereotypic deficiencies as being a part of “everyone’s weight gain,” which, besides being wrong, is dangerous. Nicolas emphasizes that hard work and self-control are what it takes to maintain weight, but that simple philosophy only works for some. For many others, including veterans, the carte blanche acceptance of that attitude means that they are overweight because they haven’t worked hard or developed self–control,

thus perpetuating dangerous bullying within our community. It’s important to clarify that calories in and calories out is being challenged internationally by interdisciplinary researchers. How dangerous? “When asked about specific reasons for delay of care, women reported disrespectful treatment and negative attitudes from providers, embarrassment about being weighed, receiving unsolicited advice to lose weight, and gowns, exam tables, and other equipment being too small to be functional……Removing the stigma-related barriers to receiving cancer screenings may help to diminish the relationship between excess body weight and cancer mortality” (Puhl & Heuer, 2008). Simply put, some don’t have a chance at a “normal” metabolism with its expected positive weight outcome, but they need exercise and support. Unfortunately, because of stigma, they sometimes avoid gyms. Exercise is medicine and gyms are a form of healthcare—they need. How could it happen that some aren’t as protected by that law of thermodynamics? For example, after areas in Holland NMLS# 260434 • DRE# 01101300

experienced war-time famine, there was a well-documented rise in obesity within the next generation, as a result of maternal deprivation during pregnancies (van Abeelen, 2012). Maternal age and number of pregnancies are also known to be valid, contributing factors for children to become obese. Scientists don’t even understand how some drugs cause obesity, yet they know they do. Some medications are better understood and are known to increase hunger, like insulin, and some to decrease physical activity by increasing lethargy—including some blood pressure medications. “Some corticosteroids, for example, make the body less able to absorb blood glucose, and this can lead to fat deposits in the trunk and weight gain” ( John Hopkins web-site). Mental health medications, injectable birth control, cancer treatment, asthma medications, and many more can make maintaining ideal weight especially challenging to impossible. We are still discovering hormones like irisin, which influence metabolism, as late as October 2012. Therefore, we don’t know enough to dismiss people who say they have glandular obesity, because they know they gain despite their best efforts, but the problem wasn’t found in a thyroid test. We do know that chronic inflammation causes weight gain. Infectobesity, an area of global obesity research, has been proven in animals. Many of those same pathogens can and do infect humans. Viruses that reset leptin receptors in the brain, or alter DNA, or direct cell differentiation into producing more pre-adopocytes are other possible causes for obesity. Infections also cause chronic inflammation. A list of pathogens that are known to promote both human chronic inflammatory diseases and obe-

sity include: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae), Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)]. Several of these pathogens use both indirect and direct mechanisms to cause obesity (Pasarica & Dhurandar, 2007). War and stress hormones promote unhealthy weight gain. USA Today reports “emerging evidence that these newest American combat veterans — former GIs and Marines in their 20s and 30s — appear to be growing old before their time. Scientists see early signs of heart disease and diabetes, slowed metabolisms and obesity — maladies more common to middle age or later.” So belonging, exercise, good nutrition, friendship, improved immune response, stress management, and play all help prevent or heal from illnesses and obesity. These are offered at Ramona Fitness. Hopefully, this response to Peter’s repetition of a historically well-accepted and sometimes valid theory will help change quick judgments of people with obesity, and enable us to update and individualize our understanding of obesity and our loved ones. If a community member has a life-threatening illness, and obesity is a known side-effect of taking their medications, we need them to continue taking needed medication, and to continue exercising—because we need them in our lives. And if weight management seems inordinately hard for some inexplicable reason, Ramonans need to know that it is way harder for some to manage their weight. As a community, we can keep doing our best to promote health in a respectful, intelligent way—especially through our hearts—love in and love out. Janine Moniot is a Ramona resident.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

We moved the ball inside and out as well as I have seen any high school team do. We executed the offense and played great team ball. We

had 16 assists and only 11 turnovers.” Reichner also praised the play of Lawler, a junior post player. “Matt had the best game of his life, scor-

Winter sports overview

he winter sports season is divided into two parts in the regular season. The first is the non-league and tournament part of the schedule, which runs through the Winter Break. There are different kinds of tournaments and different ways to schedule pre-league games. First, let’s look at the tournaments. The late University of Southern California football coach, John McKay, said it best when he was the athletic director of the Trojans: “A basketball coach invites three teams he knows he can beat and calls it a classic.” Now there are more names for weak tournaments. They can be called a shootout, classic, invita-

tional, tournament, and a plethora of other names. The difficulty of the tournament usually depends on who is throwing or sponsoring the “classic.” If a school is the sponsor, that usually means that the school is trying to make money and win in the process. The school will usually give itself a favorable berth in the bracket, or if it is a round robin or pool play tourney, that school will put itself in the shallowest of pools, the one that will ensure that its feet won’t get damp. If it is a bakery tourney then the host school will invite cupcakes that are very low on calories. The schools at bakery tourneys look around and realize that they are the dessert.

If a service club is hosting the tourney, then the brackets and divisions will be fairer. If perennial powers are invited from around the state and/ or nation, then it is truly a classic or a shootout. If a shoe company is sponsoring the tourney, that means that a lot of kids will probably be playing as professionals and will go on to a successful oneyear college career. The second part of the regular season is league play. There was a time when league play was important in San Diego’s CIF section. At one time, a team’s league record was the criteria for getting into the CIF playoffs. That is still the case in most of the state and nation. However, since very few of the leagues in San Diego are equitable, we have a power rating system to determine post season play. That power rating system has changed the way coaches schedule their pre-league games and tournaments. Some coaches try to build toughness during pre-league play. Others

try to build confidence. The good coaches try to build both. A coach of a team that plans on going deep into the playoffs will schedule a tough pre-league slate to prepare his team for the pressure down the stretch. That same coach will also try to schedule tough nontourney games. Ironically, if the team does well, that philosophy builds toughness and confidence. Many of Ramona’s nonleague games are mandated cross-league games in most sports. A coach with an average to weak team will go to the bakery for his games and tournament. Wins don’t necessarily build confidence in the players but it does give false hope to the fans and parents.

The RHS wrestling team scheduled a very tough pre-league tournament and dual match schedule because coach Steve Koch knew that his toughest Valley League match would be the first match in league play. The Dawgs beat Valley Center and are now in the driver’s seat. The girls basketball team will enter Valley League action with the best record (10-8) in pre-league play. The Lady Dawgs will be battling for a league title. The boys basketball team is entering Valley League action with a 6-9 record. Three Valley League teams have better records, but the power ratings of Orange Glen’s wins are weak. The Dawgs have only played four teams with winning

hotly contested bout. The final score was 10-9. Logan White (113) lost by fall to Jorge Beltran and Valley Center was back in the match, trailing 12-9. Vince Adair and Dustin Miller locked up in a hard fought bout in the 120 pound class and Miller came out on top with a 6-4 decision and the match was tied at 12 after five bouts. Martin Dower (126) got Ramona back on the winning track with a 12-5 decision over Trevor Rybec to give the Dawgs a lead that they would not relinquish.

records so our power rating points are not going to be in our favor. Ramona should have a winning record in league action and should vie for a playoff berth after a two year absence. Water polo has a 4-4 record and should be able to compete well in the Valley League. The Lady Bulldogs have a strong chance of making the playoffs. The Bulldog boys soccer team is off to a great start and has played a tough schedule. Coach Michael Jordan’s Dawgs should compete for a league title and a spot in the playoffs.

Troy Jordan (152) stopped the momentum with a second period pin over Dakota Cole. Alex Gomez (160) added 6 team points to the cause with a default victory and the Dawgs led 33-18. Jacob Grybow (170) lost by fall to Cody Silva and Valley Center still had a shot at winning with the score 33-24. Noe Hernandez ensured the victory with a second period pin over Garrett Castner in the 182 bout and the Dawgs led 39-24 with one bout remaining. Josh Allen ended the match with a pin over Jairo Diaz in the second period. “That win puts us in the driver’s seat in the Valley League but it does not guarantee us a league title.

Boys soccer ties San Dieguito Academy, beats Vista By JOE NAIMAN

amona High School’s boys soccer team gave itself a 12-1-2 record entering league play with a Jan. 9 scoreless tie at San Dieguito Academy and a 1-0 home win Jan. 11 against Vista.

“To get two shutouts says a lot about our defense,” said coach Michael Jordan. “Those were two really hard games this week.” San Dieguito’s game two days earlier was a win over Carlsbad. “They had a very good team. They had just beat

Carlsbad, which was the No. 1-ranked team in the state,” Jordan said. “A 0-0 draw at their place on an old beat-up grass field— the boys weren’t used to that—was a pretty good outcome.” The Mustangs also entered the game with only

Scott Stransky, Zach White and Cobian all scored 7 points apiece. Cobian hit two 3-point shots and had three assists. Riley Hubbard scored 2 points. Reichner said he thinks the tough loss will have a positive impact on the team in the future. “There were many tears in the team room after the game, but those tears will build a great fire in their bellies in future games,” he said. “We will keep our heads up and keep getting better.”

one loss during the season. “It was a very tight, close match,” Jordan said. “We had our opportunities to score. The goalkeeper played well.” Ramona’s goalkeeper, Jesse Bonilla, also excelled during the game. Bonilla made seven saves. Jordan used four defenders against the Mustangs. “We knew that we were going to be playing against a really high-powered offensive team,” Jordan said. Ali Aparicio, Aedan Maruna, David Soto, and Jose “Kiko” Valencia were Ramona’s defenders. “They do a great job, amazing job,” said Jordan. Maruna is a midfielder

when Jordan uses a threedefender format. “Aedan Maruna was the man of the match,” Jordan said. “He played his best game of the year.” Aparicio, Soto, and Valencia were the defenders for the shutout against Vista, in which Bonilla made eight saves. Jordan’s formation against the Panthers utilized five midfielders. “We controlled the middle,” Jordan said. “Vista was a good team, too.” The game’s only goal occurred late in the first half when Abraham Cabrera passed to Alex Medina. Medina then beat a defender, forcing Vista’s goalkeeper to come out of the box.

Medina then chipped the ball over the goalkeeper’s head, ran past the goalie, trapped the ball with his foot, and put the ball into the net. “It was a gorgeous, gorgeous goal,” Jordan said. Ramona had other offensive attacks. “We seriously could have had at least six just tap-in goals,” Jordan said. “Their goalkeeper made some phenomenal saves, as did Jesse. At both ends of the field there were opportunities.” The Bulldogs entered league play ranked third in the county by maxpreps. com for schools of all divisions. The Bulldogs host Oceanside Thursday night, Jan. 17, as part of a girlsboys doubleheader. The girls will play the first game and the boys are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Water Dawgs follow loss to Falcons with wins over Titans, Cougars By JOE NAIMAN

amona High School’s girls water polo team lost its first game of 2013 at home against Torrey Pines, but earned wins at Poway on Jan. 4, and at Escondido, Jan. 11. “We played some really top teams in the county,” said coach Donnie Williams. The loss against Torrey Pines was by an 8-5 score. The Falcons scored the first two goals. Ramona came back with a first-period goal, and Torrey Pines took a 3-1 lead with three seconds left in the first quarter. Ramona and Torrey Pines each scored three times in the second period for a 6-4 halftime score. The Falcons scored both third-quarter goals while Ramona had the only score of the fourth period. “The girls played hard in that game,” Williams said. “I think we played solid defense, and I think we played good offense.” Paulina Bernd scored two of Ramona’s goals.

Megan Kinnaman had her first varsity goal, and Jocelyn Schwegler and Cassie Bernas also scored for the Bulldogs. Ramona goalie Tiffany Larson made eight saves. “I think the girls were glad to play Torrey Pines that tough,” Williams said. “The girls played well.” Ramona had three 20-second penalties due to exclusions in the first period against Poway, but still had a 2-1 lead when the buzzer

sounded. The Bulldogs took a 5-1 halftime lead. At one time Ramona had an 8-4 lead, although the Titans scored the final thirdperiod goal at the buzzer. Ramona’s fourth-quarter score produced a 9-5 final result. Ramona had a total of 11 exclusions which resulted in three extra-player scores for Poway. “Out of 11 that’s still not bad,” Williams said. Schwegler led the team

with four goals and also had three steals. Holly Smith had two goals and nine steals. Kinnaman, Rachel Hogervorst, and Josie Ward had Ramona’s other goals. Larson made seven saves. Ramona was supposed to play at Valley Center on Jan. 8, but a Valley Center medical situation led to a postponement. That day the heater in Ramona’s pool broke. There was no practice in the pool Jan. 8 or 9.

Williams, a 1979 El Capitan High School graduate, arranged for practice in the Vaqueros’ pool the night of Jan. 10. The broken heater also caused postponement of Ramona’s scheduled Jan. 10 home game against Canyon Crest. Escondido’s home games are played at Jim Stone Pool. The Bulldogs led 6-0 after one quarter and 12-0 at halftime before the use of substitutes and a focus on execution rather than scor-

ing limited the Bulldogs’ further offense. Ramona ended up with a 14-2 victory. Ramona’s scoring included senior Chelsea Volk’s first varsity goal. Larson was among the players rested, and backup goalie Morgan Wallace made six saves during her time in the nets. The win over Escondido gave Ramona a 6-5 season record. The Bulldogs host La Costa Canyon in Friday’s game.

Riley awarded ‘Most Valuable Runner’ at cross country banquet By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School senior Forrest Riley earned the Most Valuable Runner award at the Bulldog boys cross country team postseason banquet. “He was our top runner in every race during the entire season,” said coach Steve Albanese. Riley’s only 2012 race in which he wasn’t the first Ramona harrier across the finish line was the Oct. 4 dual meet against Mission Vista, where Ramona’s top

five finishers ran as a pack and Max Edwards was the first Bulldog to cross the finish line while Riley was the third of four runners with identical times. Riley was third among all Division II runners at the Nov. 24 state meet, and was the only San Diego Section runner to qualify for the Nike Nationals the following week. The Dec. 11 banquet at Olive Peirce Middle School featured awards, dinner and a slide show. Some of the runners’ families provided photos from birth through

12th grade that were used in the slideshow. Albanese also handed out varsity letters and CIF patches. The 110 Percent Award was taken home by senior Tristan Stidham. “Tristan is the kind of athlete that every coach wants because he’s willing to go above and beyond, in cross country to go the extra mile and make sure he’s at his best when the race comes,” Albanese said. Stidham and senior Cory Thomas were given Captains’ Awards at the ban-

quet. Thomas also received the Bulldog Award for an athlete who exemplifies the best in all aspects of life. “Cory was a great captain and a great leader this year and also, like Tristan, led by example and had a great work ethic,” Albanese said. Teams that finish first or second at the CIF meet are allowed a CIF Sportsmanship Award for one runner. Albanese gave that award to senior Josh Spieker. “Josh is probably the most respectful kid that I have coached in my four

• • • • • • • • •

years at Ramona,” Albanese said. “He respects me as coach and he also respects his teammates.” Riley, Spieker, and Thomas were also given four-year runner awards. There were no separate awards for Ramona’s junior varsity runners, but freshman Joey Jauregui was given the team’s Rookie of the Year award. “Joey had a great season from beginning to end. He made so many improvements, and I see a lot of potential in him,” Albanese said.

Girls basketball enters Valley League play with 10-8 record By BILL TAMBURRINO The Ramona High School girls basketball team is ready to start Valley League play. The Bulldog girls lost their final non-league tilt to Mt. Carmel 58-43 but coach Dan Marshall is confident that his team will do well in league play. “Oceanside and Del Norte are both good teams and we see Oceanside right off the bat (Friday at the Dawg House). We have played a tough schedule and we are entering league play with a winning record (108). Now is when the fun starts,” he said. Ramona played Mt. Car-

mel (10-6) evenly in the first quarter and trailed by three going into the second period. The Lady Bulldog offense couldn’t keep up with the Mount and Ramona trailed 3219 at intermission. The girls played evenly with the Sundevils in the third and fourth periods but the damage had been done. Marshall had praise for his two forwards: “Katherine Mauldin played very well. She had a double double (12 points and 10 rebounds after looking at the film) and played her usual tough defensive game. Kailey Hill drew the toughest defensive assignment and played Ali Engelhardt tough all night. We have seen every type

Hill had 7 points and six rebounds. Christina Barrameda scored 7 points and had two steals and two assists. Kylee Scheib and Ashlyn Savage scored 3 points each. Scheib had five rebounds.
