Property owners who do not pay within 30 days will be fined, unless they work out a payment plan with the BOE. The fee targets property owners living in state responsibility areas (SRAs)

It’s the county versus Ramona Municipal Water District in the final stage of designating an emergency evacuation route, and the Ramona Community Planning Group appears to be caught in the middle.

Civics classes tap into presidential race By JESSICA KING Some of Ramona’s most-informed citizens won’t be heading to the polls next Tuesday. That’s because they are too young to have their votes count. But that hasn’t stopped them from casting their choices for president,

state senator, and propositions 30 through 40. Mountain Valley Academy, part of Ramona Community School, held a mock election last week for 150 students in grades eight through 12. In the presidential and California senate races, Republicans Mitt Romney and Elizabeth Emken each won

in landslides against their Democrat opponents. Propositions 34 and 35 passed with 58 and 81 votes, respectively. Prop. 34 seeks to repeal the state’s death penalty, while 35 would increase penalties for those convicted See MOCK ELECTION, page 6

An open house will be held for the public to view and drive on the county’s segment of the route on Nov. 1 at 10:30 a.m., beginning on Montecito Way. At its Oct. 23 meeting, the water board was asked by staff how it wants to proceed with the county’s draft agreement to use a portion of RMWD property for the evacuation route. Amid concerns of liability, indemnification, and environmental issues, the directors suggested possible negotiating points with the county.

Dr. Robert Graeff responds to a question about Ramona school district’s $66 million bond bid on the Nov. 6 ballot.

tions at the forum, held in Ramona High School’s Performing Arts Wing and attended by about 15 people. He made the presentation as chairman of Rescue Ramona Schools, the nonprofit committee formed to campaign for bond passage. Ramona Unified is the only unified school district in the county never to pass a bond, “and our buildings show that,” he said. “Not only are we not nearly as modern or as

state of the art (as other districts in the county), but we have just basic, fundamental construction issues,” he said. Prop. R is a general obligation bond, not a capital appreciation bond such as the Poway school bond that has attracted national attention. For every $1 the Poway bond raises, the community will pay back $10, Graeff said, adding that, if voters approve Prop. R, taxpayers will pay about $1 in interest for every $1 raised. The measure has the support of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, an endorsement Ramona trustees sought. “We’re very proud of their endorsement,” said Graeff, noting the association opposes most of the other bonds on the ballot. “Our bond they’re actually endorsing and supporting and working with us to get it passed.” According to the taxpayers association, the expected total cost of the $66 million bond bid with

interest is between $121 and $126 million. If approved, the bond would increase property tax rates about $60 per $100,000 of assessed value, a number that changes each year and is on annual tax bills. The district expects to receive about $13.8 million in matching funds from the state if the bond passes. Approximately $47 million will go to items such as school repairs, updating technology, improving energy efficiency, and making health, safety, and handicapped accessibility improvements. Up to $34 million will repay what the district owes on the $25 million it borrowed in 2004 to build two elementary schools, 14 middle school classrooms, and high school projects. The district received $34 million in state matching funds for those projects. The average age of the district’s buildings is 36 years, with the district office built in 1936, the oldSee PROP.

Intermountain honors Peterka for 21 years of service By REGINA ELLING When Ron Peterka and his wife Lila moved to Ramona in 1991, they had no idea the Intermountain Fire and Rescue Department (IFRD) would become such an important part of their lives. But the relationship has been an especially beneficial one for Intermountain, and its members recently let the Peterkas know how much they have appreciated the hard work on their behalf over the years. IFRD recently honored Ron with an award at a board meeting at the station. “When we moved to Ramona, we were retirees,” said Peterka. “We had a fine new home and plenty of energy, and we wanted to become a useful part of our new community.” An opportunity to do so arrived quickly, when Peterka was offered a position on the board of directors of Intermountain. “That was in 1991,” he said. “The department had

one chief, one fireman, and a heavily used and nearly worn out 1955 fire engine. We had a lot on Washington Street in Santa Ysabel and an old shipping container for equipment storage. There was no station, no sleeping or living quarters, and very little in the way of funds.” As for responding to actual emergencies, he said, “The department made an occasional run—if the engine was able.” From such humble beginnings, it hasn’t been easy getting the station to where it is today. “There has been a succession of chiefs, boards, and I don’t know how many firemen over the years,” he said. “We’ve made three steps forward and two back, again and again.” He recounts an attempt to build a station in Santa Ysabel that fell through, and other ideas the fledgling department tried out. “We obtained temporary equipment storage in several different places, including a tired travel trailer

parked in the local campground. It leaked, the air conditioning was minimal, and the kitchen was nonexistent. Any cooking was done on a charcoal barbecue.” It took several more false starts before a grant was finally obtained, allowing a new station to be built.

“When the first portion of the current station was finished in 1995, there was parking for one engine and living quarters for a crew. The landowner donated water, and since then an addition providing two more parking spaces has been added and a well has been drilled.”

As to the status of the station now, Peterka said, “Intermountain proved its mettle fighting the Cedar fire, and four years later, the Witch Creek fire. We were the first responders, even though the fire almost overran the station itself. We now answer nearly 300 calls a year.”

But while Peterka honors the station for how far it has come, everyone at IFRD feels honored that Peterka has chosen to take the 20-plus-year journey with them. “I’ve certainly enjoyed working with Ron throughout the years,” said Maurice Waters, board president. “He’s a good man and has brought a lot to the station. He was the heart and soul of Intermountain Fire and will always be a role model for me.” “I’ve been working with Ron since I came on board seven years ago,” said IFRD Fire Chief Jeremy Christofferson. “He has a huge heart. He’s a great guy and I’ll definitely miss him. Ron always put the department first. His presence and input will be sorely missed by everyone here.” Christofferson also wanted Peterka to know one more thought from all his friends at the station. He said, “We all wish him well in his retirement and hope he finally gets to relax and enjoy himself.”

est, and Ramona Elementary, 68 years old. “If this bond doesn’t pass, buildings get older, the improvements we’d like to make we can’t make...and there’s some health and safety issues,” said Graeff. Without the bond, the district would lose an opportunity to improve energy efficiency and technology, and in about a year, when developer fees run out, it would have to use its operating budget to make payments on the $25 million loan, he said. “That’s going to cause some significant hardship for our schools and cause some sacrifices I don’t want to think about,” he said. Commenting that the taxpayers association endorsed Poway’s controversial bond, Ramonan Don Gruneisen asked, “How, from the homeowners perspective, can we feel comfortable with their endorsement if Poway received the same endorsement?” Graeff said he didn’t know if the association had endorsed Poway’s measure, but “they assured us if that was our proposal, they would not endorse it.”

On the Agenda

Continued from page 2

After the forum, Gruneisen provided Graeff and the media documentation showing the association had endorsed Poway’s bond. Asked about closing a school and selling the property, Graeff responded, “Which school and what does it save you?” If, for example, the district closed Ramona Elementary, it might save $300,000 or $400,000 but it would spend more than that to bus students to another school, he said. Regarding selling district property, he said, “We’ve had a lot of inquiries over the years...but nobody’s interested.” School property left vacant has the potential of becoming an eyesore. If a charter school were to come in, the district would lose students, exacerbating its declining enrollment situation, he said. One Ramona resident said he has a budget and priorities and, when he runs out of money, “everything below the priority level doesn’t get funded.” “I have to work with a budget and you’re asking me to trim my budget to give you more money,” said

J. Dyer. “If I deficit spend, you wouldn’t have any money to take from me.” Dr. Bey-Ling Sha, regional PTA legislation chair and a San Diego State University professor, said a lot of the problem stems from the state’s fiscal situation and the fact that per pupil funding from the state has decreased. In addition, when the state fails to deliver the money it owes school districts on time, the districts have to borrow money and pay interest that the state does not reimburse. On a different note, Graeff called Ramona Unified “a very proud school district.” Ramona schools have won 11 awards, student test scores are among the highest in the county and state, and the district’s Academic Performance Index for 2012 is the second highest in North County among kindergarten through grade 12 districts with enrollments above 150, he said. Information about the bond is on voters sample ballots and the district’s website at ramonausd.net. Anyone with questions may contact Graeff at 760-7872007.

Ramona Cafe raises funds for Buechner, 70, to be sentenced young woman’s funeral costs Nov. 7 on molestation charge By KAREN BRAINARD

By NEAL PUTNAM

Ramona Cafe held a fundraiser on Thursday to assist the family of Marley Pineda, a young Ramona woman who died in an accident on Friday, Oct. 19. Sonja Steiner, owner of Ramona Cafe, said Pineda’s family needs help with her funeral costs. The 2011 Ramona High School graduate was killed on State Route 78 near Cloverdale Road, according to reports. Steiner said Pineda was driving from Ramona to Escondido in the evening and swerved to miss a dead deer in the road, but hit oncoming traffic. Steiner said Pineda had recently moved to Escondido. She had known Pineda for a long time. Not only had the young woman worked at the cafe but she had also worked for many years at the Swiss Mountain View Egg Farm, owned by Steiner’s father, Charlie Steiner. “That’s how we got to know her so well,” said Son-

The sentencing of a 70-year-old Ramona man for molesting a 15-year-old boy was delayed Oct. 24 until Nov. 7. Robert Buechner, a former teacher’s aide, remains free on $250,000 bond. Chula Vista Superior Court Judge Kathleen Lewis agreed to the delay after Buechner’s attorney requested more time. Buechner was a teacher’s aide at Ramona High School until just before his arrest in March. The youth lives in Chula Vista and Buechner met him through a family member. The case doesn’t affect any Ramona students.

ja Steiner. “She was really sweet, very helpful. She was very patient.” Steiner said her father was very close to Pineda. According to Steiner, Pineda, who was turning 21 next month, was going to get married in December. To help the family, Steiner offered to donate 30 percent of her sales from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Thursday towards the funeral costs. The cafe stayed busy during those hours and many diners said they didn’t know the family but had heard about the accident and the fundraiser. Ruby Briseno, who was there with family

members, said she didn’t personally know Pineda, but they both had attended Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. The funeral was held at the church at 1 p.m. on Thursday, according to Steiner. Besides holding the fundraiser, Steiner has a donation box in her restaurant. Photos and comments about Pineda are on the Ramona cafe facebook page, facebook.com/RamonaCafe. Most recently, Pineda had been working at Kimi’s Fashions in the Stater Bros. shopping center. The clothing store also has a box for donations.

The maximum sentence is four years and four months, according to Deputy District Attorney Karra Reedy, who said probation has been ruled out. Buechner could receive a 16-month term, but will be required to register as a sex offender after he is paroled. Buechner pleaded guilty in June to oral copulation and lewd conduct with a minor. The teen-ager did not have to testify. A message was left for Buechner’s attorney, Ryan Tegnelia, but he couldn’t be reached for comment. Tegnelia said in March his client had no previous accusations in his 30 years in education. He is married with adult children.

Deputies take student with air gun into custody About 100 people—students and parents—near Ramona High School witnessed sheriff’s deputies take into custody a minor with an air gun Thursday, Oct. 25, said Sgt. Daniel Vengler of the Sheriff’s Ramona substation. Vengler said numerous calls came in around 7:01 a.m. of a male walking northbound on San Vicente Road with what was believed to be a real gun pointed at his head. A California Highway Patrol officer arrived and closed the road, and a sheriff’s deputy who is a member of the sheriff’s Crisis Negotiation Team was able to talk the male into dropping the gun, which turned out to be an air gun, stated Vengler.

“Ultimately we were able to take him into custody without anyone getting injured,” said Vengler, adding that the minor was taken into custody by 7:08 a.m. The schools were not placed on lockdown, he reported. The incident prompted Ramona Unified School District Superintendent Robert Graeff to issue a recorded phone call that day to parents. “This morning before the start of school on San Vicente Road about two blocks away from Ramona High School, sheriffs apprehended a Ramona High student who was in possession of an air-soft pistol. The student was safely placed in custody and removed to a secure area outside of Ramona,” Graeff said in the message.

of human trafficking and sex slavery, if approved for real next Tuesday. All other propositions on the ballot failed to win students’ approval. In the three weeks leading up to the mock election, 32 students enrolled in Larry Hofer’s civics classes dissected the pros and cons of each proposition, created posters to hang on campus to share what they learned with other student voters, and orchestrated debates during study hall. “The kids here really got into the propositions,” said Hofer. “They researched them, they debated them, and they’ve certainly formed some opinions.” Hofer got the idea to incorporate real-time politics into his class when he learned about MyVote California, a program that tallies mock election votes from secondary students nationwide. Hofer submitted Mountain Valley’s votes to the program earlier this week. “In civics class, we’re teaching what a good

citizen is and, of course, it’s all about voting,” said Hofer, whose wife works for the San Diego County Registrar of Voters Office and helped make the mock election as realistic as possible. Using real voter booths that will be used again on Nov. 6, polls were open in Ramona Community School’s multi-purpose room from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. last Thursday and Friday. Those who voted also proudly sported the same “I Voted” stickers handed out on Election Day. While acting as poll workers in the mock election, senior Abby Jacobi recalled being a little girl going with her parents to watch them vote in past elections. “My mom would take me with her and I’d stand there and not really know what was going on,” said the 17-year-old. “(Politics) have always been in my family, like we watch the debates and all that, but I never really understood any of it until a few years ago and so doing (the mock election) kind of brought it all together for

OPINION

Hold your nose & vote Taxpayers are akin to an injured swimmer in sharkinfested waters with the “sharks”—or public agencies— nipping from every direction. Look at the Nov. 6 ballot: 11 state and one local proposition, most wanting to dip into our pockets—again. While all of our votes on Tuesday are important, few carry the long-range weight of Proposition R, Ramona Unified School District’s $66 million bond bid. We’ve read all of the opinions on these pages and on our website the past few weeks. Ramonans put a great deal of time, research, and thought into their submissions. Among those that stand out is Dave Patterson’s “Prop. R dilemma” letter. “Do I vote Yes on Prop. R and kick the underlying problem down the road with more taxes, or do we let the system fail and hope that it will come back stronger and better?” We find ourselves in the same spot. We don’t like it when supporters repeat we’re the only unified district in the county that has not passed a bond. So what? The last time voters said No to a bond, trustees borrowed the $25 million anyway, then received $34 million in state matching funds. Could we twist the language a bit and consider that an after-the-fact bond? We did, after all, elect those trustees. This round of trustees hired a consultant with a good record of passing bonds. Why waste your time with naysayers when you know how to weave a successful web? San Diego County Taxpayers Association endorsement? That used to mean something to us. We didn’t realize all one has to do is fill in enough blanks correctly. The taxpayers association no longer impresses us. Who does is Trustee Bob Stoody, the only member on the school board who voted No to borrowing $25 million in 2004. He’s still on the board and he supports the bond, saying he’d do so only if he thought there were no other way. California’s in a fiscal mess, schools have seen less funding, student enrollment continues to drop, and the developer fees the district thought would pay off the 2004 loan have dried up, leaving the district owing $32 million to $34 million, and the district’s in danger of being taken over by the state. If Ramona supports this bond with the needed 55% of the votes, don’t ask for another bond unless the sky actually falls. Manage the money you receive, build reserves for the next fiscal dip, change your way of thinking about public money. The district’s backed this community into a corner asking for the most it could legally ask for while neighbors are losing their jobs and homes. So, holding our noses, we head to the ballot box to cast a Yes vote for Prop. R.

Point, Counterpoint Alternatives to Prop. R Yes on Proposition R By Brian Stemm In response to Damon Baldwin’s Oct. 24 article concerning Prop. R, “The upcoming bond…How does it affect Ramona’s future?” I would encourage all to look at additional issue in this matter. Who will manage this money? Will it be the same leadership that put us in this situation in the first place, the leadership that has taken insufficient action over the past four years to cut costs? In 2008-09, there was ample visibility of troubled economic times ahead. The tack that has been taken by the teachers union and the district administration has been to push this down the road and spend more. Why is providing $66M more to spend (mismanage) a smart move? We must recognize that we are not Poway, we do not have the same demographic nor business tax base. We need to not try and compete. Increasing taxes (and bonds are a temporary tax) added with the coming tax increases from the federal government and state will drive businesses away, lowering the tax revenue even further. You may see a bump in

revenue in year one, but as businesses leave and fewer people are employed, you will find you have cut your own throat, with decreasing property values and tax revenue. As for technology and the new “21st century schools” moniker, it does not replace value of qualified teachers/aides; iPads are not the answer and would suggest some of the data developed by this district is skewed—and I have specific examples. I would suggest adding an aide to those rooms will result in higher test scores. We simply cannot and should not attempt to afford “an iPad in every backpack!” With all of that, the damage done over the past six to eight years has put the district in a situation where Prop. R appears necessary. However, we must push for true diligence in how that money is managed and push for further cost cutting. Examples of measure that might be of value: 1. Close RCS and move the district office and Montecito HS there. 2. Close RE, Montecito, district office and facilities infrastructure—sell the property, pay down debt with proceeds. See NO ON PROP. R, page11

I am the principal at James Dukes Elementary School and I have seen first-hand how technology can increase learning opportunities with our students. After a year of fundraising with the PTA, James Dukes Elementary School was able to purchase 30 devices for our students to use in our technology room. As the students rotate through the technology room, you can hear squeals of excitement and joy as they collaborate and create projects with their friends. This experience has really highlighted a form of engagement that only technology can bring into the classroom. Help our school expand our technology dreams into a reality in every classroom by voting Yes on Proposition R. Proposition R will ensure that James Dukes Elementary School will be able to update our Internet access

and networks, purchase up-to-date technology, and provide our students with 21st Century learning opportunities. Help Ramona students today by voting Yes on Proposition R on Nov. 6. Pauline Leavitt Principal James Dukes Elementary School Ramona is a one-of-akind place; we are like absolutely no other community. There’s no question that “Down the Hill” has got nothin’ on us. Here in Ramona, we pay attention to our neighbors’ lives, we take care of each other, we fix things when they’re broken, and we find time to do the things in life that matter. And make no mistake; Ramona’s schools are a direct reflection of who we are and what we value. Ramona isn’t just where my house is. It’s where I See YES ON PROP. R, page 11

Sentinel Reader Opinion Graeff has to go

It’s time for drums at Ramona Unified School District. The U-T San Diego, Oct. 28, 2012, published a list of county school district superintendents and their compensation: www.utsandiego.com/ news/2012/oct/27/powayschools-chief-nets-toppay-package/. Of the 34 districts listed, the superintendent of Ramona Unified came in 14th for total annual compensation of $234,673. According to the U-T data, this represents a 13.4% increase since the last survey in 2010. For comparison purposes, the superintendent of Grossmont earns just slightly more than RUSD Superintendent Robert Graeff, but the budget at Grossmont is more than three times larger. At RUSD the classified employees have taken pay cuts, and the teachers union negotiations declared at an impasse, while the superintendent takes home a boatload of compensation. I have asked why we are paying Mr. Graeff and other upper level administrators so much money when the schools roofs are leaking and the state is threatening to take over, and the argument was that if they fired him they couldn’t get equally qualified people to run the place. I guess that means that we have to pay more for people who can’t keep the place running properly? I realize that everything that has gone wrong at RUSD is not Robert Graeff’s fault, however someone has to be responsible, and with an annual compensation of $234,673, it has to be him. This is why I believe that we, the public, need to start demanding that Graeff go. I will be at the next RUSD board meeting, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m., making that demand. Let’s all show up there and beat some drums to let the school board know that status quo of a bankrupt and dilapidated school district is unacceptable. Graeff has to go! Contact Dave Patterson

Planning group election

We would like to thank our fellow Ramonans for the opportunity to serve over the last four years on the Ramona Community Planning Group. In those years, we believe we have been successful in establishing strong relationships with the County of San Diego, Caltrans, SANDAG and Supervisor Dianne Jacob. This was achieved due to the continuity and commitment of the current RCPG members. Ramona continues to face many challenges ahead, and the relationships formed will be essential in promoting the best interests of our community. With this in mind, we would like to endorse and ask for your vote of the following eight candidates for the Ramona Community Planning Group: Paul Stykel, Torry Brean, Richard Tomlinson, Eb Hogervorst, Jim Piva, Kathy Dasilva, Barbara Jensen, and Robin Joy Maxson. Jim Piva Eb Hogervorst Ramona

Proposition 32: Follow the money

Proposition 32, the “Paycheck Protection” Initiative on the Nov. 6 ballot, bans contributions from corporations and unions to politicians. Supporters say it “removes special interest money from politics.” The truth is, it is a carefully worded law to eliminate the influence of unions and their employees. Proposition 32 exempts thousands of big businesses that aren’t technically “corporations.” This includes hedge funds, big Wall Street firms, insurance companies, LLCs, and thousands of other business entities. Prop. 32 also creates special exemptions for Super PACs, allowing them to continue spending unlimited amounts of secret money to influence California elections.

The same corporate special interests that are exempt are also funding millions for the campaign: Big oil companies, billionaire businessmen, insurance company executives, hedge fund managers, Wall Street bankers, big developers and Super PACs like the American Future Fund, associated with the Koch brothers (big oil). If Prop. 32 passes, Super PACs, including committees backed by corporate special interests, will become the major way campaigns are funded in California. Vote No on 32. Joanne Bergen Ramona

Prop. R should stand for robbery

The school district wants the taxpayers to pay 12% interest on a $66 million bond. The interest alone the first year would be $792,000. They want to pay this bond over 25 to 40 years. I cannot even imagine the total cost to the property owners. A government 10-year bond right now stands at 1.76%. The school board wants to pay up to 12% on this money. They (the school board) says it will cost $60 per $100,000 assessed value of your home today and then reassess it in 2022-2023. Your home will probably be worth $200,000 more in 2022 than it is now. Your property taxes will probably go up $350 to $400 per year by 2022. Read the tax rate statement in your sample ballot information pamphlet. Bill Samson Ramona

Reader responds to opinion writers

Vivian and Pierre, My thoughts Vivian, I also believe truth is very important, but it should be the whole truth, not selective truth. Democrats and Republicans alike have been instrumental in passing deregulation. President Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which repealed

the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. This deregulation decision opened the door to actions that contributed to the collapse. Speaking of having had it in the shorts: while it is true that Bush increased the debt by $4 trillion over an eight-year period, the same people who are critical of him don’t seem to notice the $6 trillion increase by Obama over a four-year period. No, the $6 trillion is not all Bush’s fault. This is the result of decisions made by Obama during his watch. The “greed” reference appears to be directed toward the upper class. There is an abundance of greed among the classes beneath them. Those persons who think hard-working taxpayers should pay for their contraceptives, abortions, college educations, cell phones, and on and on rather than paying for their own desires are high on the greed chart. I am aware of persons who truly need assistance, but far too many people who want to be on the government provisions list are not in that category. Pierre, I must disagree with your comments about Brian Jones. He has spoken at events in Ramona a few times so I am aware of the task he is trying to accomplish. Thank goodness for his No votes. Frivolous and unnecessary spending in Sacramento has decimated this state financially and has placed us in the disgraceful position of number 49 or 50 in the nation. Brian Jones has my admiration for caring about the future of our state and for working hard to reduce the destruction caused by irresponsible legislators. As for Proposition 32: I say Yes. Corporations and unions will no longer be able to deduct money for political purposes from workers paychecks without their permission. Also, they will no longer be able to engage in giving exorbitant contributions to the candidate of their choice to buy his or her win. Individuals will have a better chance to elect a can-

didate who will represent the interests of average citizens. I hope Mitt Romney will win. He is a person of great integrity and has 25 years experience to aid him in making practical decisions. Obama had no executive, economic, or military experience when he was elected so it is no surprise that he hasn’t been able to restore this nation to a comfort level. Also on my win list is Brian Jones. He is determined to work diligently to try improve conditions for California. Shirley Lee Ramona

Re-elect Perfect

We are writing in support of re-electing Dawn Perfect to the Ramona Unified School Board of Education. We have had the privilege of working with Dawn on several Ramona community efforts and committees. Dawn always comes prepared to participate fully in discussions and often provides the leadership that leads to the group to consensus. Dawn is most importantly a child advocate. She has contributed her time, energy, and leadership to the Ramona Boy Scouting community and to Ramona youth sports groups for many years. Dawn is compassionate and really knows how “Ramona works.” Please vote with us to re-elect her so that she is able to continue her valuable service to the children and to the community of Ramona.

What are Ramona candidates saying?

The Committee For a Better Ramona (CFBR) recently sent out to all local candidates questionnaires soliciting responses to questions posed with the goal of providing voters more and detailed information about the candidates running for local offices in our town. Questionnaires were sent to candidates for the Ramona Municipal Water District, Ramona Community Plan-

ning Group and Ramona Unified School District. The candidate questions and their responses are located on our website, www.BetterRamona.net. We are grateful to the candidates who chose to timely respond to our questionnaire, and are curious about why others did not. The CFBR believes, as should we all, that we can never have enough information about the candidates who are seeking to represent us in various capacities. Those who responded to the questionnaires include the following: RMWD— George Foote, Rex Schildhouse and Brian DiPietro; RCPG—Torry Brean, Jim Piva, Donna Myers, Kathy DaSilva and Robin Joy Maxson; RUSD—John Rajcic. We thank those candidates who participated and gratefully acknowledge your commitment to insure that voters are educated and versed in the candidates they are electing to local offices. We encourage the community to visit our website and review the candidates’ answers while they decide for whom to vote in the upcoming election. While there, please take the time to register on our website so that you can become part of the Chorus of Ramona’s Voice. And on Tuesday, Nov. 6, whoever your choice of candidates, vote. A strong representative republic relies upon an educated and involved citizenry. Bob Krysak President, CFBR

School board version of 21st century management

Recently the classified employees of the Ramona Unified School District (RUSD) made major concessions in negotiations with the administration in the form of 10 furlough days and reduced pay and paying a share of their medical benefits over the next several years. This amounts to a 9.5% cut this year, 11.5% cut for the next two years (Ramona Sentinel, Oct. 4). The classified See , page 10

From page 9

sified employees have been taking cuts for several years in an effort to make a meaningful contribution to relieve the RUSD’s financial problems – and I applaud them for this. It seems the classified employees really do believe the old saw, “it’s for the kids”. U-T San Diego’s Oct. 28 edition had a Watchdog article about the compensation of superintendents of 42 school districts in

San Diego County. According to the article, Robert Graeff, Superintendent of RUSD, received a pay increase from 2010 to 2012 of 13.4%. His base salary went from $172,619 to $195,735 and the total compensation package (including perks) is now $234,673. Quite a contribution to helping relieve the financial situation of RUSD, wouldn’t you say? It’s good to know the classified em-

ployees financial sacrifices are being put to such good use by the school board. One can only imagine what increases the multitude of assistant superintendents and other administrators of RUSD have been awarded. On the bright side, though, RUSD’s superintendent still makes $65,470 less than the superintendent of San Diego Unified, but then San Diego Unified has 188,000 students com-

pared to RUSD’s 5,900. To quote from the article: ”There’s something seriously wrong when school board politicians reduce the number of school days and cut teacher pay while giving out double-digit pay increases to superintendents,” said Lani Lutar, the president and CEO of the business-friendly San Diego County Taxpayers Association. “It sends the wrong message to parents,

Will it be liberty or tyranny? By Darrell Beck Four years ago Americans got caught up in a daze of “hope and change” and elected Barack Hussein Obama to the most powerful position on the planet: President of the United States of America. At the time Obama was an unknown and unvetted community organizer, who had no record of accomplishment or qualifications for president. Today his past records remain sealed and he is a mystery to most Americans. Many of his euphoric supporters were not aware that when Obama promised to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” it would require dismantling the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Many didn’t know that Obama’s transformation was intended to diminish American power by crippling our economy and establish a European socialist state. Today, Barack Obama

Commentary has achieved an abysmal record, all being ignored by the mainstream media. Nevertheless, many of his supporters are having “buyer’s remorse,” and for good reason as they are beginning to discover Obama’s scheme and can visualize where it will take us. Obama and his corrupt administration have given America the greatest debt in history by “investing” taxpayer dollars in fraudulent green energy schemes and other failed stimulus projects. Obama gave us the greatest number of people receiving food stamps in history by advertising for customers, the greatest number of Americans on some kind of public assistance in history by providing hand-outs such as cell phones and empty promises, and the greatest era of unemployment since the Great Depression. Obama gave America a fatal dose of “Obamacare” that will prove to be the

greatest tax increase in history. Obama has ignored scandals such as “Fast and Furious” and lied about the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, and he has welcomed the Muslim Brotherhood to America. On an open microphone, Obama covertly promised the Russians that “I will have more flexibility after the elections.” He has fostered the greatest disaster in the Middle East due to his incompetence, failures and humiliating apologies—and Obama gave us the greatest attack on Christianity without apologies. According to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrats and elected representatives, “the rich must pay their fair share,” because government needs more money to sustain their great deception. They believe Americans are incapable of taking care of themselves as independent and useful citizens. They talk down to us as being

Her nickname was “Cotton Top”, and yes, she did cotton-picking chores. She graduated class of 1939 from Deering High School in Missouri. After moving to Washington, D.C., in 1942 during WWII, she earned her Red Cross Certificate from the Nurses’ Aide Corps in 1944. One of her life time achievements was earning her 2005 Associative Arts Degree with a minor in Economics from Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland, at the age of 83. Sarah spent most of her professional life as Executive Administrative Assistant with Holladay-Tyler Printing Company, Rockville, MD, until her retirement in 1987. Following retirement, she volunteered at First Baptist Church, Wheaton, MD; served as board member of Baptist Home for Children; the Holiday Park Senior

Center; and served as President of The Women’s Club of Wheaton from 19941998. She realized a lifelong desire to travel, visiting Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Australia, and New Zealand. Later, she toured extensively in Europe. Private graveside services were held October 29, 2012, at the Nuevo Gardens Cemetery, assisted by Bonham Brothers & Stewart Mortuary. A celebration of life service followed at the Grace Community Church in Ramona, California. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Grace Community Church. Sarah lived a full life as a loving, caring, wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend to many. Her strength of character came through her graciousness towards others; a curiosity for learning; and her Christian faith.

helpless victims who can’t survive unless we accept food stamps, welfare, and unemployment benefits. Indirectly they allude that we just need to yield our independence and sovereignty to government by reducing ourselves into lowly subjects living in a blissful stupor, all within a glorious entitlement society. Of course that’s all well until government runs out of other people’s money and the austerity riots begin such as in Greece and other failed socialist nations. The Nov. 6, 2012, General Election will be without question the most important election in our lifetime. Will we elect a new president who believes in America, the Constitution, human rights, economic stability, and capitalism so America can become respected and strong once again, with independence and self-respect for all, or will we continue down Obama’s slippery slope to third world socialism, sloth, and dependence on government handouts? The choice this Nov. 6 will be between liberty and tyranny. Darrell Beck is a Ramona resident.

Bazaar offers crafts, gifts The community is invited to do some early Christmas shopping at the third annual Ramona Christmas Bazaar Craft Fair at Mountain View Community Church from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 10. Approximately 40 unique and traditional crafters, opportunity drawing baskets and food are among features of the family event. Those attending will have the opportunity to bid on their choices of baskets. Members of the Ramona High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Corps are in charge of the barbecue. Those bringing nonperishable foods will receive a free ticket for the drawing basket. The food donations will go to the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet for those in need. The church is off State Route 78 and Ash Street.

My son deserves to learn in classrooms that are safe. My nieces and nephews deserve to learn in classrooms where the technology supports their learning instead of hindering it. Our children deserve to learn in schools that reflect Ramona’s unique values and character. A community that values success invests in its schools. A community that values forward thinking invests in its schools. A community that values each other invests in its schools. For me, it’s a nobrainer: absolutely, without a doubt, Yes on Prop.

On behalf of our children at every grade level and every school in Ramona — bring modern skills and technology to all Ramona students by voting Yes on Proposition R. Leslie Wilson Ramona As principal for the past 19 years of Ramona’s only comprehensive middle school, I was thrilled last spring to lead the Olive Pierce staff and parent community to earn recognition as one of just four middle schools in California to be recognized as a state and national “School to Watch.” But as I celebrate the fact that our school can do so much with so little, I must also remind our community that our roofs, air conditioning, lighting, athletic fields, energy use, carpet, technology stations, and painted surfaces are in deplorable condition. I have

had the great fortune the past few years of leading professional development for school principals all across the state — and my eyes weep when I visit the schools of the majority of the principals I am asked to train. Middle schools in other communities have fresh paint, they have energyefficient utilities, they either have computer labs with equipment which is not obsolete or they have mobile technology in the hands of every student — or both. With the extraordinarily talented teaching staff currently in place at OPMS, just imagine what our nearly 1,000 students could really achieve if we had classrooms which didn’t leak, PE equipment which didn’t break down, and play surfaces for physical training which was actually safe. I implore all Ramona residents to do the right thing on Nov. 6 — reward our students and teachers with 21st Century materials and buildings which prepare our children for

success in the next several decades. Give our children a chance to compete with students down the hill. And give our parents a chance to think big about the future opportunities for their children. Vote Yes on Proposition R. Linda Solis Principal Olive Peirce Middle School Dear Fellow Citizens, Voting Yes on Prop. R for the Ramona school district is a win/win in my opinion for several reasons. When school facilities and improvements are implemented, students and the community benefit for many years. And if you do not have kids in school and you are a property owner, you also benefit from increased home value. Ask any Ramona realtor if better schools improve home values and sales. They will confirm that. Finally, this type of school bond keeps all of the benefit in Ramona with no pass through for the state or administra-

tion. I know it’s tough to add some cost; but as a 30-year Ramona resident and homeowner with no kids in school any longer, I still believe the benefits of voting yes on Prop. R are a rare win/win for kids and homeowners. Stephen Halfaker Ramona I am a parent of two children in the Ramona school district and an alumni of OPMS and RHS. I have seen amazing things happen during my school years and since. I am in support of Prop. R to see our schools continue to achieve awards and recognition. In order to continue moving forward you too should support Prop. R to improve our technology in the classrooms and keep our school up to date. Thank you.

Please take a serious look at Proposition R on next week’s ballot and vote YES!

I can tell you that my heart is so full of joy when I think of the many tremendous accomplishments of

our Ramona students (both English and Spanish speakers) who achieve so much in our community. But when I look at the deteriorating conditions of our schools’ walls, roofs, electrical, fields, and playgrounds, my heart breaks. Down the hill, school districts pass school bonds and turn their older schools into places where parents and residents have — pride in their schools and where students have an even playing field in competing for college and jobs. But in Ramona, our children don’t have

state-of-the-art technology, modern athletic facilities, supportive arts facilities, and other buildings which help students learn. Please take a risk for our children and our community. Let’s make Nov. 6 a date we can all remember and the first time that Ramona has ever passed a school bond to celebrate our children. Let’s show the rest of the county that we care as much about our schools as they do. Vote Yes on Proposition R. Susana Abarca Ramona

Fire tax

where the state is financially responsible to prevent and fight wildland fires. Ramona is surrounded by SRAs, as is Julian, Santa Ysabel, Alpine, and other East County communities.Cal Fire Deputy Director Janet Upton said the agency estimates the fee affects approximately 11,000 structures in the Ramona area. Residents can learn if their property is in a SRA by visiting firepreventionfee.org and typing in their address. A map of the SRA boundary line around Ramona shows that the Mt. Woodson area, Dos Picos Park area and San Diego Country Estates are in a SRA. According to the map, approximate areas in SRAs include the following: west of Etcheverry and Sawday streets, south of Hunter

Continued from page 1 Street, south of Hanson Lane and between Cook Street and San Vicente Road, south of Boundary Avenue, south of Creelman Lane, east of Old Julian Highway/Third Street, north and east of the Ramona Community Center, and north of Pine, Olive and El Paso streets. Ramona Fire Department/ Cal Fire Battalion Chief Burke Kremensky, who personally received a notice, said nine square miles in the center of Ramona’s 75 square miles are not affected. That leaves 66 square miles in Ramona in a SRA. According to the BOE, each owner of a condominum unit will be billed the $150 but owners of apartments will be billed $150 per building. For some residents, the notice came as a surprise. Ramona Fire Department/Cal

Fire Battalion Chief Saul Villagomez said he has received about 10 calls from residents saying they are already paying for fire protection and questioned why they should have to pay this fee. Noting that the fee is coming from the state, Villagomez said, “We’ve had no input in it.” Ramona Municipal Water District (RMWD) General Manager David Barnum said the water district will not receive any of the money. Within Ramona water district boundaries are properties that overlap into SRAs. Homeowners in those areas, who already pay RMWD for fire protection on their property tax bills, should receive a $35 discount on the state fire prevention fee, reducing their charge to $115. On the firepreventionfee. org website are frequently asked questions—FAQs—

with more information about the fee and the appeal process. Kremensky noted that the fee is only for habitable structures and not for barns or outbuildings. If residents are billed for such buildings, they should appeal, he said. The Ramona water district has added a link on its website, rmwd.org, that directs residents to the fire prevention fee site. The public can also call 888-310-6447 with questions. Revenue from the fee must be used to fund fire prevention services. Cal Fire estimates the fiscal year 2011-12 fees to total $85 million. To implement the fee, the BOE said it added 11.5 temporary jobs for 2011-12, and 57 limited term jobs for fiscal year 2012-13. County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, whose Second District includes Ramona, has opposed it from the beginning,

calling it a tax. “The state’s decision to move ahead with the fire tax is wrongheaded and unjust,” said Jacob. “As I’ve said before, the $150-a-year tax unfairly targets property owners who already pay state taxes to fund public safety and those who also pay special fees in their communities for additional fire protection. It amounts to triple taxation. The mailing of the notices is an unfortunate reminder that the state is failing to adequately fund Cal Fire and is turning to already-burdened property owners for a bailout. If the state can’t see the light on how wrong this is, hopefully the courts will.” The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association filed a classaction lawsuit that argues the statewide tax is illegal and seeks to overturn it. The organization considers it a direct violation of Proposition 13.

Evacuation

Continued from page 1

Plant site were two points mentioned. Ramona Community Planning Group Chair Jim Piva, who said he has been working to establish this route for four years, appealed to the board. “What’s important is not to get lost in the weeds, if you will,” he said. “There’s no harm in establishing this evacuation route.” Piva called the route a relief valve in case Main Street is clogged during an emergency. RMWD Director Darrell Beck noted that the portion of the route proposed for the district’s Santa Maria sewer plant property is pasture and is used for sprayfields. The proposed route would start on Montecito Way just north of El Paso Street and take drivers on an existing dirt ranch road across county grasslands, then through a strip of RMWD property to reach Rangeland Road. From Rangeland, evacuees could take Highland Valley Road and continue to the 15 freeway or turn on Archie Moore Road to head to State Route 67. Beck said the county abandoned two road plans on the north end that would have been much better suited for evacuation routes. Montecito Road could have connected with Rangeland Road, he said, but was vacated in 2009 because of the grasslands and the airport. A proposed SA 603, which was on the county circulation element, would have headed down into the San Pasqual Valley and come out near the Westfield shopping center mall, he said. That route disappeared from the map when the San Dieguito River Park was established, Beck said. RMWD General Manager David Barnum noted that the board recognizes the route is a top priority for the community, but it has a fiduciary responsibility to utilize the district’s assets appropriately. Director Joe Zenovic asked whether the district could be fined if people drive over the federally-protected Stephens’ kangaroo rats that have been found in that area. The board agreed to have the ad hoc committee of Beck and Bryan Wadlington, board president, review the draft agreement. Barnum said it will be brought back to the board.

Ramona Community Planning Group: Choose 8 Ten candidates are vying for eight seats on the Ramona Community Planning Group. Five are incumbents: Torry Brean, Eb Hogervorst, Jim Piva, Paul Stykel, and Richard Tomlinson. Also seeking four-year terms are: Jim Cooper, Kathy DaSilva, Barbara Jensen, Robin Joy Maxson, and Donna Myers. TORRY BREAN AGE: 30 For the past 12 years I have worked as a Manager at Barona Resort & Casino. I have been on the planning group s i n c e 2006. I currently serve as the chair of the CUDA (Current Urban Development Area) Subcommittee and on the Ramona Village Design Com-

mittee. In the past I have been on the board of directors for the Ramona Junior Fair and served as the Parks Subcommittee chairman. I graduated from Ramona High School and am completing my bachelor’s in business management at University of Phoenix. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. As a fourth generation resident, Ramona’s rural character is very important to me. I believe in supporting lot sizes and regulations that allow horses, wineries, and other agricultural boons to the economy. I will work to keep government small, fix our failing infrastructure, and support local business so we can always have a picturesque, safe, and vibrant town. Do you favor the Ramona Street Extension? Why or why not?

I am in favor of the Ramona Street extension if the road can be designed properly. Traffic in Ramona is dangerously congested. By improving the connectivity of our roads we can improve circulation and reduce gridlock. Ramona Street and Hanson Lane shoulder a large traffic burden. If we open up the south end of Ramona Street, it will take pressure off the rest of the network. The Ramona Street extension is part of the puzzle, but most importantly we need to fix Highway 67. How do you balance property rights with issues such as town character and environment? I believe our existing general plan is a balanced and fair guide to growth; it promotes rural developments and gives land owners fair guidelines about how they can use their land.

the planning group needs to stand up to big developers who want to ignore the general plan and build tiny city-style lots. I also think we should help out the local land owner who is just trying to build a barn or construct a room addition. Do you believe more open space should be preserved in Ramona? How much public access should be allowed on preserves? I thoroughly enjoy seeing open fields in Ramona, but I do not think our government should be involved with buying up any more ranchland. I believe all open space should be accessible to the people of Ramona, unequivocally. What role, if any, should the planning group play in supporting Ramona’s economic development? The county’s permit process is notoriously convoluted and difficult; the planning group can help our local economy by making it easier for small businesses to get through this process. Additionally, we need to support initiatives that support local agriculture, which is a huge driver of local jobs. The growing wineries represent a huge opportunity for Ramona to not only develop our jobs in agriculture, but also drive local tourism. What do you think of allowing solar and wind farms in Ramona? I support solar and wind farms when they are placed in the right location. I supported a solar farm planned around the landfill, but actively opposed a solar plant

JIM COOPER I’ve been a resident in Ramona since 1979. I retired as a Navy Captain in 1993, serving 32 years active duty, with nine of those enlisted. Forty years experience in the Healthcare Industry and was a Diplomate in the American College of Healthcare Executives and a Fellow in the American Academy of Healthcare Executives. I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Business from The George Washington University. I have been a member of the Kiwanis Club of Ramona for 17 years, am a life member of the Ramona VFW Post 3783, and a life member

of the Palomar Sportsmen’s Club. I am currently on the Ramona Design Review Board. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. The holding of an elected office is a sacred honor, demonstrating the trust the voters have in one to represent their interests. This creates a two-way contract: The official must continually seek information from their constituents so as to actually represent their interests, and the official must continually research items for consideration, seeking quantifiable justifications and support studies and making these facts readily available to the public before the time for a vote is taken. My purpose in running is to ensure that subjects presented before the Planning Group make sense to the Ramona community at large. Do you favor the Ramona Street Extension? Why or Why not?

The Department of Public Works plans are at 70% and include cutting a swath 20-24 feet deep thru the landscape, adding stop signs at the corners of Boundary/Ramona Street and Warnock/Ramona Street, violating traveling line of sight requirements at several spots; all while adding almost 1,500 cars daily into the Ramona/ Hanson intersection that is already recognized by the RCPG as hazardous.

The meetings were long, full of bickering, and accomplished little. Over the past six years I am proud to have contributed to a more professional, lucid, and effective planning group.

A thorough presentation of facts was recently presented to SANDAG and is available for reading via the CFARR website: www.CFARR.INFO Report to SANDAG. Please read this and then make your own fully educated decision. How do you balance property rights with issues such as town character and environment? Property rights are guaranteed by our Constitution. However this is not unconstrained. Our founding fathers were also concerned with the “general good” of the community. Ramona is blessed with a rich history worth protecting. The eucalyptus colonnade that welcomes our visitors is a great example. We also have an ‘Old Town’ that deserves recognition. The balance is achieved through a process of resident meetings and discussions that result in guidelines and standards that determine decisions. Inevitable growth must be tempered with the documented interests of the residents to maintain some degree of historical presence. It’s a win-win for everyone. Do you believe more open space should be preserved in Ramona? How

much public access should be allowed on preserves? Open spaces conserve and enhance our natural resources by retaining tracts of land in their natural state. I believe that the Ramona community should protect the current open spaces and think strategically regarding any future opportunities. With a National Standard of 10 acres per 1,000 residents, studies have proven that adjacent open spaces increase nearby property values. Public access should be encouraged but not to the point that it disrupts the nature and habitat of the land, or adds a safety risk associated with that public use. What role, if any, should the planning group play in supporting Ramona’s economic development? The Ramona Community Planning Group, by title, should represent the interests of the community. All of the community surveys that I recall spoke to better and safer roads, more local activities for our youth and young adults, and better employment opportunities. A safer Highway 67 and a skateboard park need attention. I also believe that we have a unique opportunity

From page 16

for economic development and jobs growth near the airport. Assembly plants may be one option, where parts can arrive and finished products can depart thus aiding the economy both in tax base and employment at the non-degree level. What do you think of allowing solar and wind farms in Ramona? Renewable energy is going to be essential for America’s future. Communities throughout this country have successfully implemented these two energy sources in a non-destructive manner, and in fact actually enhanced the overall community appearance; for example, using solar panels over parking lots and small wind turbines along selected naturally windy terrains. The Ramona valley offers opportunities where both of these energy generators could be located to enhance the energy grid while not posing unacceptable degradations of our open spaces and the rural environment for the Ramona residents. Other communities are striking an acceptable balance, why shouldn’t we do the same? Is there anything else that you believe voters should

know about you? I have read every set of the Ramona Community Planning Board minutes since 2003. The reason for this is to understand the history as not to repeat it. In addition, it is to fully prepare myself for this office of public trust. I will endeavor to honestly represent your identified interests if I am elected. I travel the four Western states judging western skit, encampment and costume contests and successfully compete wherever I enter. I am a recognized authority on our Nation’s Cowboy era which gives me a unique ref-

erence point from which to protect the rich heritage of the Ramona Valley. KATHY DASILVA I grew up riding horses when cities allowed them. I married and raised two sons w h i l e working as a small animal veterinary assistant. Moving to the county, I managed a large animal veterinary practice and am now a Notary Pub-

lic. Most recently, I was involved with Harmony Grove’s removal from Escondido’s Sphere of Influence which included interaction with Escondido’s Mayor, LAFCO, the Board of Supervisors and the community. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. I am seeking office because I have experience working with county officials and community members. I believe the community should be shaped by its citizens with their wishes See RCPG on page 19

forwarded to the county. My goal is to shape Ramona’s changes the way the community wants to see them, through discussion and compromise while preserving a rural atmosphere. Do you favor the Ramona Street Extension? Why or who not? I think that the Ramona Street extension is a problem in that it has more than a 6% grade and an aqueduct under the surface that may have been overlooked and will have to be moved. One home owner may lose her ranch to eminent domain. I would suggest that Keyser Street, which is flat and already goes through from Hanson to Warnock be paved and used to relieve traffic while Ramona Street is re-examined. How do you balance property rights with issues such as town character and environment? In my opinion, property rights are not set in stone by zoning, etc. In a rural environment, keeping with community character and not blighting the neighborhood is important to the survival of Ramona. Because one can legally build something doesn’t mean they should. Do you believe more open space should be preserved in Ramona? How much public access should be allowed to preserves? Open space or preserves, when given over to the State of California, relieve the community of taxes and care but can also lead to being fenced out. Preserves need to be chosen very carefully with the knowledge of exactly what is be-

ing preserved and what is possibly being given up. I personally favor carefully thought out, non-motorized trails through open space. What role, if any, should the planning group play in supporting Ramona’s economic development? I would like to see the planning group support Main Street businesses, our vineyards and other rural and agricultural land uses when possible. When the need for other economic projects arise, they should be given careful consideration. What do you think of allowing solar and wind farms in Ramona? I am in favor of alternative energy but not in the middle of agricultural land nor where it negatively impacts entire neighborhoods. Large amounts of acreage dedicated to solar panels are not in keeping with rural character. Is there anything else you believe voters should know about you? If elected, I will do all that I can to represent the community and their wishes to the county on future projects. I am aware that there

are already good, sound parameters and plans for Ramona. I support the rural lifestyle. EB HOGERVORST Age: 43 Owner/Operator of local business, current member of RCPG. Education: two-year technical degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Reasons for seeking office and goals, if elected. I was born and raised in this valley. It’s been a wonderful valley for my wife and I to raise our family in. I feel obligated to give back and serve my community. I have been honored to serve on the RCPG the past four years. My main goal is to serve all Ramonans and not special interest groups. Do you favor the Ramona Street Extension? Why or why not? Yes. I believe it is very important for circulation purposes between the four schools in that area and

also for the residents who are caught up in the traffic congestion every school day morning and afternoon. I believe this road is very important and needs to be completed. How do you balance property rights with issues such as town character and environment? I am a big believer in property rights and I believe each case has its own unique circumstance and

needs to be individually evaluated. Being a member of the RCPG allows me to take local community input and make sure it lines up with the community plan at large. Do you believe more open space should be preserved in Ramona? How much public access should be allowed on preserves? The county has spent millions of taxpayer dollars purchasing private ranches

Now it’s our turn.” The event centers around a free commemorative player’s card that new and current customers will receive. It features President Obama and Governor Romney against blue and red backgrounds respectively. “Many people collect political-themed memorabilia,” said Chelette, “and this is a keepsake that people will be able to continue to use while gaming to earn votes and long after the election has been decided.” Once players have their special cards, they can use them to earn “votes.” These are not real votes but points that customers earn by playing various slot machines and table

Ramona resident one of California’s 12 Leading Women in STEM Nancy Taylor, a Ramona resident for 32 years, was honored as one of a handful of California’s “Leading Women in STEM” for her achievements in advocating for stronger publicprivate partnerships and investment in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education. The award came on Oct. 16 at the California STEM Summit 2012. The summit is a statewide leadership convening of business, government, education, nonprofit, and philanthropic luminaries to spark change in STEM education and workforce development and launch

new STEM education initiatives. “It is an honor as a career K-12 science educator and leader to be recognized among these esteemed women in academics and STEM research,” said Taylor, science coordinator at the San Diego County Office of Education. “In San Diego County science teachers and their students benefit greatly from our strong advocacy for strengthened publicprivate partnerships and alignment of resources in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.” With Taylor’s leadership, STEM partnerships

have been developed and expanded throughout San Diego County, according to a statement from San Diego County Office of Education. Taylor and STEM community partners developed the San Diego Science Alliance a non-profit 501(c3) organization, where she serves as executive director. She manages a network of community collaborators of K-12 schools and San Diego innovators in research, industry and higher education, dedicated to providing STEM resources in class and outof-school.

ing, biking, and horseback riding should be available to the general public in designated areas. After all it was their tax dollars that purchased the land. I believe there is an adequate amount of open space purchased and preserved at this time. What role, if any, should the planning group play in supporting Ramona’s economic development? I believe small business is extremely important to our town and the RCPG should do anything it can to help promote and encourage small business development in Ramona. What do you think of allowing solar and wind farms in Ramona? I believe solar and wind generation are a good thing, but I don’t want to see solar and wind farms in the center of our town, especially in the agricultural designated areas. Is there anything else you believe voters should know about you? Having been born and raised in agriculture in Ramona, I believe it is very important to preserve our rural character, but I also know it is important to have wide, safe roads through our rural lands. We have thousands of cars that travel on these roads every day and our current road system is completely inadequate. Many are trying to stop these road improvements from happening but I believe the safety of our citizens and the betterment of our community comes first. If re-elected, I will push very hard for the improvement of our road infrastructure. ROBIN JOY MAXSON Age: 51 Behavioral Health Manager for WellPoint Inc. since 2000. Current member of the Ramona Community Planning Group’s West Subcommittee. Current Vice President and Director of Membership for the Ramona Trails Association. Member of the San Diego County Equestrian Foundation. Bachelor’s from UC San Diego, Master’s from National University, Active Teaching Credential. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. I have a passion to move

our community’s local voice — via the RCPG — to the next level; developing proactive communication between the community’s wishes and the many jurisdictions we operate within. My goals as a member of the RCPG would be to: represent the community’s wishes for Ramona’s future, further develop the leadership role the RCPG should provide in guiding Ramona’s future, and provide an environment that is conducive to gathering the community’s input on issues facing Ramona and then keeping the community updated on progress. Do you favor the Ramona Street Extension? Why or why not? I do not favor the addition of a stop sign at Warnock Road which is part of the project design. Commuters would experience a back up, adding time to our neighbor’s drives to work and school. The RCPG needs to focus on other roadway issues — specifically SR 67. To encourage more visitors to our town and to provide safe egress for Ramonans during an evacuation, this road needs to improve its safety record. I have volunteered to chair a subcommittee on the RCPG that would specifically focus on this issue and have outlined ideas to explore to attain this goal. How do you balance property rights with issues such as town character and environment? Each request before the RCPG needs to be evaluated based on many factors, including: scope of the property owner’s requested change, neighbor’s feedback on the proposed change, general character of the land/project interface. Each of these elements is different with each project. Keeping these factors in mind, I believe individual property owners should be able to make improvements to their property and the RCPG should approve such requests. Do you believe more open space should be preserved in Ramona? How much public access should be allowed on preserves? As the vice president for the Ramona Trails Association, I do advocate for more open space and trails access. The use is for quiet, nonmotorized access (hikers, bicyclists and horseback riders) and is restricted to established trails. What role, if any, should the planning group play in

From page 19

supporting Ramona’s economic development? The RCPG plays a vital role and is considered a “stakeholder” by the county. The RCPG has been asked to comment on the County’s Equine Ordinance, which directly impacts the businesses associated with equestrian activities. Many businesses in Ramona rely on a robust equine industry: businesses, e.g., feed stores, horse shows, riding stables/ lessons, trainers, boarding facilities, trailer sales and the Ramona Rodeo. The RCPG is a stakeholder in the ongoing improvement of downtown through the Ramona Village Design Group. The RCPG is asked to approve zoning exceptions related to the wine industry and can lend its support to this enterprise. What do you think of allowing solar and wind farms in Ramona? Solar and wind energy is to be encouraged in Ramona. The scale of these projects should be “residential” or “minor use permit.” I would encourage dual-use locations for solar panels such as parking lot shade structures and wind turbines on businesses or home rooftops. The recent development of a “solar farm” is alarming as the term is a misnomer and the project is better categorized as light industrial located on designated agricultural land. It is not consistent with the character of the neighborhood. Is there anything else you believe voters should know about you? Ramona is a unique community. It would be an honor to serve on the RCPG. As an optimist I see what can be done and have the perseverance to focus on the many long-term projects currently unfolding in Ramona: the improvement to our downtown, the promotion of the wine industry, the continued connectivity of our trails system, and the improvement of our roadways. I would provide regular communication to the community on the RCPG’s progress and request resident’s input as part of an ongoing effort to increase the community’s participation in Ramona’s future. DONNA MYERS My family moved to Ramona in 1971. I taught school here, served as a 4-H leader, FFA parent booster, and Little League mom. I have a BA and MA in education and was also a commu-

nity college instructor. Our family proudly supports the Americ a n Farmland Trust and were cofounders of the American Paint Horse Association’s Southern California Club. We also helped establish CFARR (Citizens for a Rural Ramona). Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. I have attended monthly RCPG meetings and I served on the Trails and Transportation subcommittee. Every citizen of Ramona is affected either directly or indirectly by San Diego County’s General Plan. Local planning is more responsive to local needs if there is a high level of citizen participation in the planning process. I will encourage citizen involvement, planned growth, promotion of all Ramona business groups, and will be accessible and responsive to Ramona’s concerns. Do you favor the Ramona Street Extension? Why or why not? Consider this about the one-third mile proposed Ramona Street Extension. Each plan (1, 2, 3, 4) violates the county’s own road safety standards and has already cost almost $1 million with no results. Construction costs will double, and unsafe speed limits will endanger children walking to school (no sidewalks). The steep, rocky terrain will require blasting (five wells disturbed), and the relocation of an aqueduct, and an 8-inch water line. This extension will solve no problem. Traffic circulation will slow, resulting in huge bottlenecks and congestion at intersections Boundary and Warnock. Why this road when two other parallel routes are available? How do you balance property rights with issues such as town character and environment? Conflict with the needs of the community versus property rights, town character, and the environment requires conflict resolution strategies. This mean dialogue, the sharing of information, sensitivity to vital issues, and the ability to see more than one side of a problem. Citizens have a voice in decision making and need a time and a place for open discussion and input into the issues concerning our valley.

We’re in this together! Do you believe more open space should be preserved in Ramona? How much public access should be allowed on preserves? Open space and public access to preserves can be considered on a one-to-one basis. We weigh what is to be gained as opposed to what is to be lost and carefully consider the merits of each position before making a decision. What role, if any, should the planning group play in supporting Ramona’s economic development? The backbone of our country’s economy is our small business owner. To “shop Ramona” is to support them. The purpose of the RCPG is an advisory one relating to planning and land use affecting the Ramona Valley. I would support all ideas energizing our local economy that harmonize with our rural environment. What do you think of allowing solar and wind farms in Ramona? Solar and wind farms are misnomers. They are not farms. They are industries, totally unrelated to agriculture. The placement of these industries need careful consideration. Rural land is open, accessible, and affordable. We do not have a policy in place for this land use. Time spent to define perimeters for solar/wind industries is important to our rural ambiance. Is there anything else you believe voters should know about you? Ramona will grow, therefore, planning for growth is a long range goal with short term steps. The end result is a community that wisely protected its future and sustained a prosperous, healthful valley for the next generation. Your vote is appreciated. JIM PIVA AGE: 52 Owner and operator of Piva Equipment Services. Current member of Ramona Community Planning Group Community involvement: Several seasons as RHS Football Coach, sponsor of many l o c a l events each year including various youth sports and Ramona Mural Project Education: Bachelor of Science in Business Man-

agement at San Diego State University. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. Primarily to give back and serve my local community that has supported my business over the last 30 years. My main goal is to represent all Ramonans and not special interest groups. Also, to maintain our character by following the community plan that has been in place. Do you favor the Ramona Street Extension? Why or why not? Yes. I favor it to relieve the traffic congestion that most parents have to endure every morning and afternoon in order to pick up and drop off their children at the four schools that are located in that immediate area. This has been part of Ramona’s circulation plan since the late 1800s. It needs to be completed. How do you balance property rights with issues such as town character and environment? On a case by case basis. There is no general rule to follow. We take local community input and consider that with the community plan and property rights. Do you believe more open space should be preserved in Ramona? How much public access should be allowed on preserves? When it fits with our community plan, I do believe open space should be preserved. However, I also believe that access for community activities such as horse riding, bicycling and hiking should be considered for these areas. What role, if any, should the planning group play in supporting Ramona’s economic development? I believe the planning group should encourage business development in Ramona to provide jobs for our youth and local families. I believe a promising area of commercial development is the industrial zoned area around our local airport. What do you think of allowing solar and wind farms in Ramona? I support it as long as they are in areas that don’t take away from our rural character. I believe these farms are best suited in the outlying areas as I think they would be an eyesore in the middle of our community. Anything else voters

Double D Rescue Ranch for senior animals

amona has so many amazing people lending their hearts and hands to animal welfare that it’s just overwhelming sometimes. Last year, I wrote an article that was a resource list of rescue and referral service organizations. Since then, I have learned about so many more. The Double D Rescue Ranch, led by Debbie DeGarmo, cares for senior animals. Their mission is helping senior cats and dogs by networking, rescue, foster, and adoptions for them. They are a nonprofit corporation that

was established in May 2011, but they have been rescuing animals locally for 29 years. They currently have a three-legged cat and three blind dogs. Debbie says, “It’s amazing what you can learn from animals in how they can readily adapt and adjust.” Ramonans have adopted lots of animals through this organization and I commend each and every one of you! In April 2011, owners of an 8-year-old golden ret/chow posted a free senior dog ad on craigslist because they were moving to a condo and wanted a smaller dog. The Double D Ranch took April in, but she was a bit assertive with their dogs. Debbie’s alpha female, a gentle white beauty Kona, who is a wolf/husky mix, showed her the ropes. When April jumped at her, Kona simply placed her very large paw on April’s back and gently pushed her to the ground where April immediately became submissive. They praised Kona and April, and at that second April became a new dog, running and playing with all the dogs and she opened up and became very loving. Debbie then took her on TV

Nourish Your Mind and Body.

and to an adoption event the following weekend and a wonderful lady showed up and said, “I want to meet April.” The bond between April and Linda was instant. April is now Abby and she shares her new home in Rancho Penasquitos with Linda and Pokie, a 50-pound tortoise. Another great adoption example is Max and Rufus, who were rescued in April 2012 from a plea from a volunteer at the small Castaic Animal Shelter in Castaic, Calif. Max was a 12-year-old male cocker/retriever/chow mix and Rufus, now Rudy, was a 9-year-old Aussie mix. Debbie sent a plea out asking for someone to foster one or both so they could be saved from being euthanized. Dear friends in Ramona, Pat and Tim, offered. Pat had adopted a chocolate lab/ dane mix pup earlier, and Pat fell in love with Max saying he had so much energy and love. Their friends and fellow horse lovers who also live in Ramona and came to her for horse riding lessons also fell in love with Max and they soon adopted him. He

is now the best friend to their 5-yearo l d daughter. There a r e many more heartwarming adoption stories. And if you foster an animal, it doesn’t mean that you have to keep them, as many people may think. There are 10 in foster care now, ages 10 to 17, all healthy, wonderful dogs looking for permanent homes. The Double D Ranch is very holistic in the food and supplements, and takes in only what it can afford. Debbie says that, “often, well-intentioned people or rescues will take in far more than they can handle financially and time wise, and the animals suffer.” When you operate a rescue, you must learn how to balance your job, life, and the welfare and care of yourself plus the cats and dogs, says Debbie. We all know how to do it right. It takes time to care and feed them,

bathe, clean, and treat medical conditions, maintain records, vet care, keep up records, and your accounts. That’s a lot of work but well worth it. The Double D Ranch recently joined Ramona Chamber of Commerce. They hope to share the blessings of adopting mature dogs and cats with more of the Ramona community. And just so you know, most need no training, are not destructive, and are loving, loyal, and appreciative animals. These mature dogs and cats can mellow your heart and life, and you will be enriched and blessed by loving a mature cat or dog and in knowing what a difference you helped to make in their lives. But most of all, you will be surprised at the difference they will make in your life and in your heart. The Double D Ranch is always seeking compatible and appropriate foster/adoptive homes. You can visit www.furryfoster.com/ doubledranch to check out the animals that are in need of adoption and foster homes. If you need to contact me, please email me at jaemarc@gmail.com.

RCPG Candidates

ment will always be to help make this community a better place to live and raise a family. PAUL STYKEL Custom home builder. Elected as a member to the Ramona Community Planning Group four years ago. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. To create and maintain a more cohesive planning group that the County of San Diego listens to. Do you favor the Ramona Street Extension? Why or why not? Yes, It will provide better access for the people of Ramona. How do you balance property rights with issues such as town character and environment? Every property owner should be able to build, expand or renovate proprieties within the guidelines of the various planning groups in Ramona. I believe if the Ramona Design S t a n dards are completed, it will be easier for property owners to build, expand and renovate their properties to fit in with character and environment of Ramona. Do you believe more open space should be preserved in Ramona? How much public access should be allowed on preserves? I believe the open space should be available to the public for hiking, biking and horseback riding. Trails can be created to allow these activities without endangering the environment. What role, if any, should the planning group play in supporting Ramona’s economic development? The Ramona Community Planning Group should be able to support projects that will enhance Ramona’s economic development. What do you think of allowing solar and wind farms in Ramona? Solar and wind farms could be allowed as long as it fits in with the community and surrounding environment. Is there anything else you believe voters should know about you? Through teamwork of the planning group members, the county of San Diego is

now listening to us. If myself and other incumbents who are seeking another four years are re-elected, I’m sure the Ramona Community Planning Group will have much stronger voice at the County of San Diego in the years to come. RICHARD TOMLINSON JR. Age: 47 Lives in Ramona with wife LuAnn and children Lynette, 7, and Aiden, 6. Education: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from San Diego State University. Civil Engineer C59276, California Qualified Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Developer and Practitioner #20063. Employment: Civil Engineering Project Manager with RBF Consulting, a Michael Baker Company. Volunteer Activities: ACE (Architects, Contractors, and Engineers) Mentorship Volunteer. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. I would like to help shape the future of Ramona so that my children, age 6 and 7, will have a place to grow and call home. We need a balance on the group, with business owners, real estate people, retirees, and family people. As the only candidate with young children, I will add balance to the group. In addition, I have a techn i c a l knowledge in Engineering and Drainage that no other member or candidate has. Do you favor the Ramona Street Extension? Why or why not? Not as currently designed. As one of the few members that has actually walked the site, I was able to gain insight into some of the engineering challenges facing this project. This project as currently designed has the potential to discharge untreated sewerage from adjacent residences into the roadway and creeks. In addition, the current design has other flaws that will need to be rectified prior to the project proceeding. How do you balance property rights with issues such as town character and environment? This is the reason for zon-

From page 22

ing, and the environmental regulations we have, is to balance property rights with the rights of the community. When a person buys a piece of property, that property is encumbered with certain aspects of zoning and regulation. These tell the owner what they can and can not do with the property. Town character must be protected in Ramona. This is what defines Ramona, and if we change it, we become something else. Do you believe more open space should be preserved in Ramona? How much public access should be allowed on preserves?

This is one of the ways I differ from many of my peers. I believe that open space is part of what defines Ramona. To me more open space is better. However, these lands need to be open to the public for compatible uses. These uses include hiking, horse riding and other non-motorized uses. In addition, I see open space being used for livestock grazing in some areas. What role, if any, should the planning group play in supporting Ramona’s economic development? The planning group needs to stay out of the way of businesses by not trying to impose unnecessary restriction upon businesses.

Secondly, the RCPG needs to encourage the wine industry by supporting small wineries when they come before the group requesting use permits. What do you think of allowing solar and wind farms in Ramona? Instead of solar and wind farms, I prefer the term solar and wind power plants. That said, I support solar and have a large system on my roof. I do not support large scale wind in Ramona due to the threat to birds and the noise. There are locations that residents would embrace solar, such as solar canopies in local commercial parking lots. Imagine being able to park in shade

in front of a grocery store during the summer. Is there anything else you believe voters should know about you? As the only candidate for office with young children, I am running to make a better Ramona for my children. I am seeking a balance between the environment, property rights, town character and business. As the only candidate with a technical knowledge of storm water and drainage (a major issue in Ramona), I am able to add value to the Group. My underlying principal for decisions is that “Environmentalism is a by product of good planning and good engineering.”

Water district board: Check your ballot Ramona Municipal Water District directors are selected by division, with three divisions on the Nov. 6 ballot. Division 1 has only one candidate, incumbent Darrell Beck. Division 3 offers two candidates: Rex A. Schildhouse and incumbent Bryan A. Wadlington, and Division 5 has two candidates: Brandon D. DiPietro and George W. Foote.

DIVISION 3

REX A. SCHILDHOUSE Background: Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy, Retired, independent author of college textbooks for accounting, community college instructor teaching accounting. Associate of Applied Science and Bachelor of Science from Southern Illinois University, MBA from Marymount University (Arlington, Virginia), professional certificate at the graduate level in accounting from a San Diego private university. O n e of the several founders and the first president of the Ramona Outback Amateur Radio Society (ROARS), which has supported the community since its inception in the late 1980s. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. I am at a point in my life where economics, social, and employment elements allow me to have the time to do the job right. Not fair to the voters to have representatives that cannot or will not perform their assumed duties. What are the top three issues facing the district?

How would you address them? The RMWD is responsible for a large area and is essentially the lead governmental agency. We have restricted evacuation routes, water distribution systems that are vulnerable to outages during critical services periods, and many governmental agencies are coming under scrutiny for compensation. What should the district do with effluent from the San Vicente Wastewater Treatment Plant? Without an understanding of the details, unable to make a statement. Who should pay to expand water and sewer services— the developer or the entire district? Please explain. While the district has a responsibility to establish and maintain a main supply and sewer system, the developer of projects should be responsible for the costs to link that system into the RMWD system and assessment to link into that system is appropriate. Would you ask the voters to support an increase in fire fees? If so, how much and why? If not, why not? Increases at this time are inappropriate. Living in Ramona since 1987 and watching numerous emergency events, sometimes as a volunteer, sometimes as a victim, and looking at my tax bill, I think we have reached the ceiling. Cost is

multi-faceted and includes issues such as maintenance, expansion, capability, and compensation in wages and benefits. As retired military and knowing the differential of pay between being in a combat zone for one year and holding a governmental entity position, I think total compensation needs to be relational. At this time I think total costs have reached or exceeded its justifiable limit. Many people have complained the district charges expensive fees for water and sewer. Do you agree? Why or why not? The question is what is the individual user paying for? Is it appropriate? Without full detail I suspect that some customers are not paying the appropriate costs which results in others absorbing cost not associate with proportional services. Is there anything else you believe voters should know about you? While on active duty I held a variety of positions including project manager with fiscal control and accountability. The project required annual congressional audit, review, and justification. As an officer in operational squadrons I was frequently responsible for budget proposals and the defense of those proposals. Once funded, I was accountable for audits and reviews of those funds. When adjustments came, and they were common, I had to make the necessary adjustments to complete the assigned mission. I understand cost/benefit/risk and have worked under those constraints in numerous military

and civilian endeavors.

BRYAN WADLINGTON Age: 62 Background: Married with two children and four grandchildren. Thirty-two years with the San Miguel Fire District retiring as Division Chief. Experience in budgeting, management, and fire prevention (last four years of employment as fire marshal for the district), currently RMWD board member serving as president last two years. I have an AA, and AS degree and a BA from San Diego State University. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. I am seeking re-election to assure the residents of Ramona they are receiving the best service, the best product, at the lowest price possible. I have made it my highest priority to make sure that before any rate increase is issued we, as a board, have explored all avenues to cut cost, or deliver more efficiently the product or service they are paying for. The Santa Maria solar project is an example of reducing the cost of operation which allows rates to reflect the lower costs. What are the three top issues facing the district? How would you address them? 1. Water Rates: Wholesale rates have gone up substantially each year since I was See RMWD on page 37

SPORTS

Bulldogs celebrate Homecoming’s league win By BILL TAMBURRINO Ramona High School’s Homecoming game was a 38-24 victory over Torrey Pines, resulting in the Bulldogs’ first 2012 Palomar League win. Coach Damon Baldwin might have been the happiest person this side of the Homecoming king and queen. “Another huge win over a dominant San Diego County Football program!” he said. “I do not have the words to express how proud our coaching staff is of our kids. Torrey Pines is always one of the top of the Division I schools and our kids took it to them. The Bulldogs were physical, played fast and confident and closed out the game

when Torrey Pines tried to make a late run,” said Baldwin. It was the first time since the El Camino game that the Bulldogs were 100 percent healthy, with six starters back, some going two ways, and that got the morale of the team high. The Homecoming crowd didn’t hurt either. The Bulldogs dominated in all phases of the game: offense, defense and special teams. The Bulldog defense set the tempo and let the Falcons know it was going to be a physical game when they kicked off and forced the Falcons to a three and out first series. Ramona took the punt and drove 49 yards. The drive ended when Hunter McHargue hit Christian Drews with a

15-yard touchdown pass. Tyler Vargas made the first of his five PAT conversions and the Dawgs had a lead that they would not relinquish. The defense then forced

a punt and McHargue hit Javier Vasquez with a 61yard touchdown pass, the longest of the season, and with the help of Vargas the Dawgs led 14-0. Both teams scored 10

By BILL TAMBURRINO

Dunker won three sets with scores of 6-2, 6-4 and 6-0. Vaca and Dunker actually won the set that clinched the match in their second set. Taylor Jennings and Cassidy Owens also won 3 team points by posting dominating scores of 6-1, 6-0 and 6-1. Brie Frandsen and Kacie Jordan played well and contributed to the win by going 4-6, 4-6 and 6-3. Dayna Lake set the pace

in singles action by playing very solid and going 6-2, 6-2 and 6-2. Amanda Massey won one set to earn a team point by going 4-6, 1-6 and 6-2. After a season of action, Jessie Mosser played like anything but a freshman by winning two sets with scores of 6-3, 4-6 and 6-3. The seeding committee proved correct in the second round matches. Mt. Carmel, the No. 4 seed,

beat No. 5 Ramona 11-7 on the winner’s courts. In doubles action, Jennings and Owens swept their competition by posting scores of 6-1, 6-4 and 6-4 to earn 3 team points. Vaca and Dunker won two sets by going 3-6 and bouncing back to win a 6-3 set and then battling to win a hotly contested 7-5 set. Frandsen and Jordan recorded scores of 1-6, 2-6 and 4-6. Lake was the only singles player to win a set against the Sundevils. Lake went 3-6 against Lea Antrobus and then rallied to beat Sally Yen and Cyndy Tran 6-3 and 6-2. Massey went 0-6, 0-6 and 1-6, and Mosser went 0-6, 1-6 and 2-6. Now it is on to the Valley League singles and doubles tournaments to qualify for the CIF singles and doubles tournaments. No Lady Bulldog has advanced to the singles tournament and just one doubles team has advanced to the CIF doubles tournament.

Girls tennis wins 1st CIF playoff, falls to Mt. Carmel 2nd match The Ramona High School girls tennis team advanced to the CIF playoffs and won their opening playoff match against University City High School but then fell to Mt. Carmel in the quarterfinals. The Bulldog girls finished the season with a winning record of 11-5. From the very beginning of the season Coach Doug Failla insisted that his team would work hard and improve and the coach was correct. His Lady Dawgs played a tough non-league schedule and then went undefeated in Valley League action. Ramona High’s tennis team justified its fifth seed in the Division II CIF team playoffs by beating University City High School 13-5 in the first round of the playoffs. Ramona got outstanding play from its No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams as Rebecca Vaca and Lauren

points in the second quarter. Torrey Pines scored 10 unanswered points. Then enter the special teams of the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs were forced to punt but the Falcons muffed the punt and Bulldogs regained possession on the Falcon 36-yard line. The Dawgs drove and with 1:20 left on the clock Brandon Gansch followed the blocking of Anthony Moreno, Daniel VanTol, Josh Allen, Patrick Hastings and William Rieve for a four-yard touchdown run. Ramona wasn’t finished. The defense got the ball back with 15 seconds left in the half and the Dawg offense moved the ball into field goal range for Vargas. The sophomore kicking specialist drilled a 33-yard field goal and the Dawgs led 24-10 at half. Ramona’s offense completely dominated the Torrey Pines defense in the third quarter and had

possession of the ball for the first 10 minutes of the half. However, a Torrey Pines interception with a 67-yard return for a touchdown made the score 2417 going into the final stanza. The Dawgs opened the final quarter by finishing an 82-yard drive with Chad Miller-Laduke finishing the drive with a touchdown run to give the Dawgs a 31-17 lead. The key play on the drive was a Matt Lawler reception inside the 5-yard line. Torrey Pines made the game interesting by driving 80 yards for a touchdown to make it a 31-24 game with 3:35 left in the game. A Falcon onsides kick failed and the Bulldogs recovered the ball on their own 38-yard line. Nathan Cherek then showed his track speed and took the first play for a 62-yard touchdown run again with See FOOTBALL on page 36

Bulldog volleyball beats Pirates, loses to Timberwolves By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s girls volleyball team defeated Oceanside in four games, Oct. 23, in the Pirates’ gym but lost in three games, Oct. 25, at Mission Vista. The two Valley League matches gave the Bulldogs a 5-3 league record along with an 18-9 overall season statistic. The match at Oceanside began with the Pirates taking a 28-26 victory in the first game after Ramona had game point at 24-19. “We were up by quite a lot and just kind of gave it up at the end,” said coach Connie Halfaker. “Everybody just kind of

struggled with flow,” Halfaker said. “We were one step short of proper positioning on the court.” The Bulldogs recovered with 25-13, 25-24, and 25-18 wins. “True to form with this team, they fought hard regardless of what the score was, regardless of how they felt,” Halfaker said. “They never give in.” Abby Roulier led the Bulldogs with 13 kills while Christina Barrameda added 11 kills. Barrameda’s four serving aces led the team and Roulier had three aces. Julie Vorhes contributed 17 digs while Kelsie Whitten led RaSee VOLLEYBALL on page 35

Water Dawgs go 3-2 at San Diego Open, wins Valley League match By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School won three of its five games at the San Diego Open tournament Oct. 22-27. “We won all the games we were supposed to,” said Ramona coach Donnie Williams. The Bulldogs also defeated Del Norte in an Oct. 23 Valley League match during the week. The league win at Ramona’s pool gave the Bulldogs a 3-1 Valley League record while Ramona ended the tournament with an overall 17-10 season mark. Ramona’s Oct. 22 tournament game was an 8-5 loss to Patrick Henry at the El Capitan pool. “We just didn’t play well,” Williams said. The Bulldogs’ 9-5 win over Del Norte included a 5-1 lead at one point. Outside of the pool, Oct. 26 did not go well for Williams, whose mother passed away that morning in Havre, Montana. The tournament matches that

day had better outcomes for Ramona, which started the day at the El Cajon Valley High School pool with a 10-3 win over El Camino. “We actually did a real good job against El Camino. I thought we played solid defense,” Williams said. Williams brought up junior varsity players Taylor Holas and Wyatt Jeffers for the tournament. Ramona’s second Oct. 26 game was at Santana High School against Bonita Vista, and Holas was Ramona’s goalkeeper for the second half of the 16-9 game. “It was really just a lopsided game,” Williams said. The Bulldogs’ fourth consecutive win was in their first Oct. 27 match, which was at El Cajon Valley. Ramona faced Steele Canyon for the third time in 2012; in a Sept. 25 nonleague match the Bulldogs had a 10-5 lead and held on for a 10-9 victory while an Oct. 12 Vellenkamp

Tournament contest was an 11-9 Ramona victory. Ramona had a 5-1 lead over the Cougars in the Oct. 27 game before Steele Canyon scored the final three goals of the first half. “They seem to be able to come back on us,” Williams said. This time Ramona had a strong second half to capture a 10-5 victory. The Bulldogs closed the tournament with a 12-5 loss to Westview. “It wasn’t a good second half,” Williams said. Ramona scored the game’s first goal before trailing 3-2 after one period. “We started off good in that game,” Williams said. “The second period we were doing a decent job.” Westview and Ramona are both in Division II for CIF playoff purposes. The Wolverines and Bulldogs will learn their post-season fate at the Nov. 5 CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting.

Athlete of the Week Bulldogs benefit from Hunter McHargue’s quarterback skills By BILL TAMBURRINO The 2012 Ramona High School football team is much improved from the 2011 team, and one of the biggest reasons for the big turnaround is the play of quarterback Hunter McHargue. The Dawgs have won five games and with a win this week, they can finish the season with a 6-4 record and second place in the Palomar League, despite playing what many believe is the toughest schedule in the section. In just nine games McHargue has improved his numbers from 2011’s 11-game schedule. McHargue has improved in completions, passing percentage, yards passing, passing yards per game, touchdowns, and longest pass of the season. Last week McHargue had his best game of the season. He completed eight of 12 passes with one drop for 136 yards. He had touchdown tosses of 61 yards and 15 yards, and a quarterback rating of 126.4—a career high.

For his efforts, McHargue is the Ramona Sentinel Athlete of the Week. McHargue did not start playing football until his freshman year. He started at quarterback in the first game that he played in. He has a 3.2 grade point average and plans on attending Arizona State University. He says that his parents, Scott and Sharon, have been very supportive in all of his endeavors. When asked what were the keys to the big team turnaround, McHargue had this to say: “You have to give a big shout out to the offensive line. They have done a great job of protection. We are playing more as a team this year. We know each other and have respect for each other. We are like a big family.” When asked what the keys were to his individual turnaround, Hunter answered, “I understand the offense better. I go through my reads and pre-snap reads better. And coach (Billy) Clark has been a great help. If I have a question about

anything, he knows the answer or he goes and gets the answer. He asks me what I want to work on and he tells me what I need to work on. The final answer is usually feet. He has a lot of drills to improve my footwork.” McHargue has spread the love in the passing game. He has hit 12 different receivers and six different receivers have caught touchdown passes. When asked how this has happened, McHargue explained: “All of our receivers are good receivers. They are well coached and they all know how to get open and catch the ball. I have improved on my ability to read defenses and know how to find the open receiver.”

Ramona High School’s girls cross country varsity team lost its first dual meet of the season on Oct. 26 against Del Norte at Dos Picos Park, but several Ramona girls set personal records in the process. “The PRs (personal records) were great,” said coach Kim Toth. Del Norte put the first through fifth runners across the finish line in the Nighthawks’ 1540 victory, although the Bulldogs had the next five finishers. Ramona’s top five runners had a 26-second split.

“As far as that goes I’m real happy with it,” Toth said. Anna Mazzola finished sixth with a time of 18:18 on the 2.75-mile course. Ciara Lucas’ seventhplace time of 18:25 was a personal record by 1:20. Arianna Ruland set a 20-second personal record with her 18:37 performance. Francheska Gonzalez finished in 18:38. Delaney Toth’s time of 18:44 gave her a personal record by 2:15, as well as 10th place. “It was a disappointing loss for the varsity,” Kim Toth said. Ramona’s varsity fell to

2-1 for the season, but the junior varsity’s 26-29 victory gave the JV a 3-0 record. Angelina Gray won the race with a time of 19:36, which was a personal record by 2:04. Elizabeth Schweizer had a fourth-place time of 19:55. Chloe Knowd’s time of 20:00 gave her fifth place and a personal record by 1:38. Kim Klarer finished seventh at 21:21, and Holly Trout’s time of 22:45 was worth ninth place. The Bulldogs conclude the regular season Thursday, Nov. 1, at Guajome Park with a tri-meet against Oceanside and Valley Center.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by MARK JONES, A MARRIED MAN, AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, dated 08/15/2007 and recorded 8/23/2007, as Instrument No. 2007-0562500, in Book , Page 8969, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, State of California, will sell on 11/27/2012 at 9:00AM, Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, 1380 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92101, Auction.com Room at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1189 SCHOOL DAZE LANE, RAMONA, CA, 92065. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $446,062.31. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee’s Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder’s Office. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

Bulldogs host novice volleyball tournament, reach gold division semifinals By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s girls volleyball program hosted a novice tournament on Oct. 20 at the Epic Volleyball Center in Poway. The tournament raised money for the varsity, junior varsity, and novice volleyball programs, and highlights included Ramona’s novice team reaching the semifinals of the gold division. “We did very well,” said Ramona novice coach Leasa Roulier. The tournament’s 24 teams were divided into g

six pools for the initial round-robin play. Ramona was seeded fourth in its pool but finished second. The Bulldogs defeated second-seeded Poway in a three-game match and swept third-seeded Escondido in two games before closing pool play with a three-game loss to topseeded Carlsbad. “We did that after losing probably our best hitter in the second game,” Roulier said. Roulier was referring to outside hitter Shannon Singleton, who popped her shoulder and did

yon. Jasmin Griego, who is a right back player for Ramona, was named to the all-tournament team. “She had incredible serving and back row hitting,” Roulier said. Roulier also cited the contributions of several other players, including Carney Flinn, who replaced Singleton as an outside hitter. “She did an excellent job filling in when Shannon went down,” Roulier said.

Emily Schramm is Ramona’s other outside hitter. “Her great hitting and serving contributed to our wins,” said Roulier. Felicia Fierro is Ramona’s libero. “Great hustle and digging,” Roulier said. Hana Darrough is the Bulldogs’ setter. “She had great heart and determination and hustle,” Roulier said. The Bulldogs’ novice team has 10 players including Singleton. “It was very much a

team effort. Great communication, great heart and determination. This team definitely puts all that together well,” Roulier said. Although an Oct. 16 loss at Del Norte gave Ramona its first Valley League defeat of the year, the Bulldogs defeated Valley Center two days later to improve their league record to 5-1. The tournament results left Ramona with a 19-6 overall season mark.

The loss to Mission Vista was by 25-19, 25-12, and 25-19 margins. “Did not go well,” Halfaker said. “The lack of flow was multiplied.” The Bulldogs had a total of 18 kills in those three games. “I know they were trying hard, I know they wanted to make a difference,” Halfaker said. “Just did not convert on third contact and made a lot of third contact errors.” In the first round of league play, Ramona defeated Mission Vista in four games. “This was a team that we had handled first round,” Halfaker said. “We just could not produce the points.” Ramona ends its regular season Thursday, Nov. 1, at home against Del Norte; the match is also Senior Night for the Bulldogs.

On the night, the Dawg offense rushed for 243 yards. Cherek led all rushers with 151 yards. Gansch ran for 70. McHargue completed eight passes for 138 yards, hitting Dominguez, Garrett Binkley, Drews, Gansch, Lawler and Brandon Fitzpatrick as he spread the ball around. The defense played its best game of the season against a quality opponent. Daniel Kemp was in on 13

tackles. Nine were solo. T-Bone Williams was in on nine tackles and Travis Kerchner was in on eight. Zach Berg, Patrick Hastings, Brawnson Walter, Triplett, Ben Barnat, Grady Vasquez, the Dominguez brothers (Javier and Christian), Brinkley, Tanner Williams and Brandon Kelderman all made tackles for the swarming Bulldog D. Coach Mike Ernst’s junior varsity clinched the Palomar League junior varsity championship using the varsity’s formula of taking advantage of special teams, defense and offense.

offense, QB Ryan Lopez went 11-for-12 for 180 yards with one TD pass a 75-yard bomb to Colton Harris. Michael Camp rushed for two touchdowns. Brian Fonseca converted on all three PAT attempts for the difference in the game. Coach Ernst got some help from his staff. Coach Carl Sapper told Ernst that the punt block was there and it was. Troy Jordan and Justin Martinez blocked the punt and David Southerland recovered the loose ball. That play shifted the momentum according to Ernst. On defense, Wyatt Kent recovered a fumble on the 3-yard line to stop the last

Brandon Arthur leads in off-road racing points Ramona’s Brandon Arthur and his off-road racing crew are leading in points in their truck class for the High Desert Racing Association’s (HDRA) 2012 season and if they place in the top five at this month’s race, they will win the championship, said Todd Arthur, Brandon’s father. A junior at Ramona High School, Brandon Arthur races his bright yellow HRT Motorsports, Competitive Metals, Ford F-100. At the two-day shortcourse style Rockin’ on the River race, Nov. 9-12, in Laughlin, Nev., Arthur will not only be racing his F-100, but will also move up a class to race a trophy truck, said his dad. In August, Arthur and his team, which includes codriver Donny Kerr, competed in HRDA’s Dusk-tilDawn 250 in Primm, Nev. Each lap of the Dusk-tilDawn 250 was more than 50 miles long. Arthur won the 1400 class race, beating the second place finisher by 36

Ramona Jiu-Jitsu hosts free self-defense classes By BRIAN MENDOZA Ramona Brazilian JiuJitsu/MMA will open its doors to the community on Saturday, Dec. 1, for free seminars on self-defense and empowerment. Two sessions will be held, one at 10 a.m. for children, and another at 1 p.m. for adult women. Each class will last for approximately 1-1/2 hours. No experience is necessary for these classes that are designed for beginners. Bullying in schools has become a predominant part of today’s society with stories of children being beaten down physically, verbally, and socially.

Children need to be prepared by increasing their awareness and building confidence, There are also stories in the news of women being attacked and assaulted. Reactions to a situation can be the key to survival. Building muscle memory and reaction time to violent attacks can save one from being victim. The anti-bullying seminar for the children will cover common scenarios, how to react in those situations, the rules of engagement, and how to subdue an attacker without resorting to punches and kicks. The goal is to instill the confidence needed to han-

dle physical and verbal attacks. The women’s self-defense class is designed to demonstrate common scenarios of attacks and how to defend and escape. Law enforcement has narrowed down some of the most common attacks, including bear hugs, chokeholds, and being pinned to the ground. Each class puts students in live scenarios and develops the necessary reflexes to react properly when in danger. Space is limited for this event. In order to reserve a spot, call 760-787-5855 or email ramonabjj@yahoo. com by Nov. 24.

elected, while water sales have drastically gone down partly due to drought conditions and partly due to raising rates hurting family budgets. We have and will continue to look for any and all viable solutions to reduce the impact to consumers. As an example, the board members voted to give up our benefits paid by the district. Another example is we now contract out engineering services to save money. 2. Rising cost of emergency services. We contract our emergency services to Cal Fire. That cost goes up each year and since the fire fees only pay a portion of the total cost, a larger and larger percentage of the general fund goes to paying the difference. This takes away from our ability to pay for things like tank relining, water line replacement, etc. 3. Infrastructure maintenance. We have old mains in and around the city center and undersized and outdated mains throughout the district. We must find an acceptable balance between repairing/replacing aging infrastructure and meeting the rest of the demands on a already badly stretched annual budget. What should the district do with effluent from the San Vicente Wastewater Treatment Plant? The treated effluent from the San Vicente Plant should first go the the San Vicente Homeowners Association in the quantity needed. They (association members) pay every penny of the costs of running and maintaining of the plant through their

taxes. They should see the benefit of those taxes. Who should pay to expand water and sewer services—the developer or the entire district. Please explain. Major expansion of water and sewer service should be paid by the developer. The residents of Ramona already have paid for the services through annual fees and to ask them for an increase to support development is not right. Major overhaul or maintenance is borne by the current ratepayers. Would you ask the voters to support an increase in fire fees? If so, how much and why? If not, why not? I fully support an increase in the fire fee paid by Ramona residents.We are fortunate to receive some of the finest emergency service of any community. This service is performed by highly trained, dedicated, skilled and motivated personnel. However, that service does not come cheaply. The fire fee has not gone up in 26 years!! I ask what other service has not gone up in that time. Just the rise in fuel costs since that time is staggering! It is time we, as recipients of that superior service, take a hard look at how it effects the budget and make an informed decision as to whether or not we want to vote to increase that fee. The amount should be decided after input from citizens and business. Many people have complained the district charges expensive fees for water and sewer. Do you agree? Why or why not? Yes, we (yes, I pay for

From page 24

both water and sewer, too!) pay high fees compared to 10 years ago. However, the ratepayers can be assured we are doing everything possible to keep those rates as low as possible. (see directors benefits comment above) The sad fact of the matter is we are truly at the mercy of the two wholesalers who dictate much of our annual rate increases. Is there anything else you believe voters should know about you? I have proven by my actions that I sit on the board with the sole purpose of looking out for all of the residents of the community. I have made the hard decisions and will continue to do so by informing myself the best possible on any given issue and will vote without bias toward or against anyone. I consider it a privilege to serve the community. It is not an easy job and and sometimes not a popular one but it’s importance cannot be overstressed. I take on the responsibility without reservation. We have some very large issues on the horizon like road widening, treatment plant expansion, and wholesale rate increases and I want to be there to make sure the community gets full value for the hard-earned dollars they pay.

source from County Water Authority (CWA) from Poway. The District has shuttered the Barger Plant thus limiting the amount of water sources to one for the whole community. I would look to utilizing Lake Ramona and building long-term storage and water filtration from this source. Additionally, increasing emergency generation from the Poway Pump Station throughout the District at key pump facilities so that in the case of a fire or unexpected power outage such as experienced on Sept. 8, 2011, does not have a disastrous effect on the community. Future Long Term Planning – Development of strategic planning for the District will identify where the District plans to go in the next five years and will identify and control future costs. Areas that I think should be addressed are fixed employee costs, fire protection, infrastructure, community planning, and water system integrity to start off with. Fire Protection – Developing realistic funding for fire protection and paramedic services is highly important to the safety of this community. Addressing the EDU fee in a stepped approach to lessen the impact upon all is important especially considering the current down economy. Identifying what the true costs and how those costs should be structured is key in proper funding for Fire and Paramedic services. What should the district do with effluent from the San Vicente Wastewater Treatment Plant? Effluent from the San Vicente Plant should be sold

I believe that many tough challenges lie ahead for the future board and I think that I can have a very positive impact for the residents of Ramona and especially Div. 5 as I am well versed on the issues that face the water industry at large and the particular issues that face this community. I look to increase openness, communication, and community involvement through additional access through the web, community outreach programs, and strategic planning. What are the top three issues facing the district? How would you address them? Normal and Emergency Water Supplies – Currently the District is fed by a single

to the Country Estates and Spangler Peak Ranch based upon water budgets for each customer. Use by either entity is a benefit to the community but allocations should be based upon time of year and water budgets developed for both and allocated upon the amount able to be supplied by the treatment plant as supplies may not be able to be met year around. Who should pay to expand water and sewer services—the developer or the entire district? Please explain. I believe that those who benefit from a developed facility should pay for it with respect to new development. The costs of new facilities should be borne by the developer and their customers rather than ratepayers across the spectrum picking up the tab. To streamline this process and identify new required system upgrades a master plan should be developed so that new facilities that are required will be identified and will develop a future water/sewer system that is integrated rather than a patchwork of system upgrades that do not address what a final water/ sewer system will look and perform like. Would you ask the voters to support an increase in fire fees? If so, how much and why? If not, why not? I do support placing an initiative on the ballot to raise the present EDU to meet fire fees. Currently water/sewer users are offsetting (subsidizing) the difference and this is an unfair burden placed upon these users by citizens that do not utilize See RMWD on page 39

water or sewer services. Through EDUs this cost is more equitably spread out over the whole community and at a lower individual cost. A stepped approach should be implemented so that all ratepayers can absorb any additional costs more easily over time. A cost analysis has to be developed and evaluated. This cost should be pegged to the CPI index so that true cost stays accurate. As this has not been successfully addressed in the last 17 years a stepped or tiered approach spread out over time should be part of any new EDU fire fees. Many people have complained the district charges expensive fees for water and sewer. Do you agree? Why or why not? I agree that water rates are high and will be rising in the future due to pricing increases from Metropolitan Water Authority, the rising cost of power, and replacement of aging infrastructure. To offset these costs alternative water sources need to be developed such as utilizing Lake Ramona to it’s maximum potential through the installation of a water treatment facility, installing Automatic Meter Reads, utilizing shared services agreements for key equipment. Additionally, through strategic planning, facility optimization, private/public partnerships, and automation costs can be identified and lowered and service improved for the ratepayers. Is there anything else you believe voters should know

From page 37

about you? I believe based upon my background and knowledge that I can work towards sustaining financial security for the District, delivering water to customers at the lowest cost, provide for greater water system integrity to keep maintenance costs down, and to provide these essential services during natural disasters. I also believe this will take time, community outreach, and involvement to provide the best services at the lowest cost possible to the community. I look ahead to working with the other directors and I look forward to serving you on the RMWD board. Thank you for your vote. GEORGE W. FOOTE Age: 59 I have lived in Ramona since 1984. I was married here and my wife, Charlene, and I raised t w o children here. I have 30 years of law enforcem e n t experience, 7 of which was in administrative positions with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department at both the rank of sergeant and lieutenant. I have Bachelor Degrees in both Music and Environmental Biology from the University of Colorado and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from San Diego State University. I served as the Vice President

of a large condominium association in La Mesa, Calif. I have budget experience from my positions with the Sheriff’s Department. Reason for seeking office and goals, if elected. About a year ago the current Division 5 water board member, Red Hager, said to me that he did not want to seek a third term. He had been thinking about a replacement who had the abilities and qualifications to take over and represent the customers in Division 5 and he believed I was that person. I decided serving on the Water Board was an opportunity to give back to the community that has been so good to my family and me. If elected, I hope to bring innovative ideas and forward thinking to help keep costs down in tough economic times. What are the top three issues facing the district? How would you address them? I believe the top three issues facing the Ramona Water District are aging infrastructure, interruption of our water supply during extended power outages, and finding affordable funding in the short term and means to pay off the $4 million pipeline replacement mandated by the county’s San Vicente Road improvement project. I will champion the proactive inspection and needed replacement of some of our 50+ year old cast iron pipes. So will I support the conversion from electric to natural gas in our Poway pump-station. Finally, I will scour the budget to find existing funds

to help pay the $4 million. What should the district do with effluent from the San Vicente Wastewater Treatment Plant? When Watt Development applied for the permit to build the San Vicente Waste Water Treatment Plant, it was stated that the effluent was to be treated and utilized to irrigate the San Vicente Golf Course. The plant was approved and built but the infrastructure was not completed to return the treated effluent to the golf course. Instead, spray fields were constructed to evaporate the water. Through improvements to the infrastructure, the waste water was made available years later for use in irrigation. I believe SDCEA should have priority in purchasing the treated effluent. Who should pay to expand water and sewer services—the developer or the entire district? Please explain. If a real estate developer wants to build a development that will require that existing water and sewer facilities and services need to be expanded, why should current customers foot the bill so that the developer can reap the rewards? The developer should pay for all expansion costs and if he/she chooses to pass the cost along to the buyer, they have that option. Would you ask voters to support an increase in fire fees? If so, how much and why: If not, why not? While I don’t want to see my taxes go up, I do understand that we can’t expect the same level of fire ser-

vices as costs go up with no corresponding revenue increase. The Ramona Water District currently contracts with the California Department of Forestry for its fire and paramedic services. The district has been utilizing some of its property tax discretionary funds to cover cost increases for these critical services. I would support a ballot measure for a nominal $24/year Ramona Fire Fee generating about $340,000/year. This would free up some discretionary funds to help offset the $4 million San Vicente Road pipeline replacement. Many people have complained the district charges expensive fees for water and sewer. Do you agree? Why or why not? Much of the cost of Ramona water is out of the control of the water district. The Metropolitan Water Board sets the price it sells water to the San Diego County Water Authority which in turn sets the price it sells water to Ramona. The district says it

provides water and sewer to the customer at its cost. The Ramona Water District has done much over the years to lower costs, reducing its staff from 72.5 in 1993 to 49 today. It recently put in solar panels at the Santa Maria sewer plant which will save customers more money in the years to come. Is there anything else you believe voters should know about you? Most of us have participated in personality trait evaluations in school or for jobs we have had. I have taken a number of such tests. The results always show me to be an analytical personality type. That means I can not only crunch the numbers, but I evaluate a proposal for not only the short and longterm results but analyze the long-term effects it may have on other programs. I would like to be a part of finding ways to save money for the Ramona Water District consumer while still maintaining quality service. I ask for your vote to do just that.
