The transaction, effective Nov. 4, includes Ramona Sentinel, La Jolla Light, Del Mar Times, Poway News Chieftain, Rancho Bernardo News Journal, Solana Beach Sun, Carmel Valley News and Rancho Santa Fe Review. The acquisition, announced Friday, is part of an overall strategy to better serve the San Diego community through publishing of hyper-local news that complements the more regional reporting of flagship newspaper, U-T San

An unregistered sex offender from Oregon was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday after he was caught passing out candy to trick-or-treaters in Ramona, authorities report. Danny Shaw, 29, of Yucca Valley, was arrested on Main Street and booked into county jail Thursday evening on suspicion of failing to register as a sex offender in California and for being a convicted sex offender in violation of annoying a minor, according to San Diego County

sheriff’s Sgt. Brent Strahm. At the time, the Ramona Chamber of Commerce was hosting its annual Main Street Trick or Treat event, during which up to a 1,000 costumed children walk along Main Street collecting candy from merchants. Shaw, who was wearing white face paint with red stripes resembling blood, was approached by deputies responding to reports that a suspicious man was approaching and annoying children at the event.

“Shaw had reportedly approached parents who were walking with their kids, and persistently insisted on giving the children candy, which was declined,” Strahm said. “As one group of parents turned to walk away, a nearby witness watched as Shaw slid candy into a candy bag carried by one of the children.” The sergeant said that Shaw, by his own admission, moved to California in February and has failed to register as required by law.

Diego. The community newspapers will continue to operate under local management and with separate staffs supported by the U-T San Diego newsroom. “We are thrilled to be taking on the stewardship of these community newspapers,” said U-T San Diego Publisher Douglas Manchester. “We firmly believe that community news is one of the hallmarks of strong local newspapers, and we intend to continue this legacy for many years to come.” “This acquisition was driven by Papa Doug and his vision that we will be able to service San Diego neighborhoods more effectively through U-T Community News,” added U-T San Diego CEO John T. Lynch. “With these papers as a template, our strategy will be to launch additional community papers in San Diego’s larger communities and neighborhoods.” Phyllis Pfeiffer, previously group publisher of Mainstreet Communications’ San Diego publications, will continue to lead the community newspaper group as vice president and general manager of the U-T Community News division. “With the resources of See SENTINEL page10

World War II POW to share his story at NJROTC’s Military Salute A World War II veteran who was a prisoner of war at Stalag Luft III will be the guest speaker at Ramona High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps’ Military Salute on Saturday, Nov. 9. The salute will start at 5 p.m. in the high school gymnasium, 1401 Hanson Lane. All are welcome. Lt. Col. Ralph Kling,

U.S. Air Force retired, will share his experiences in the war at 6:45 p.m. Kling, a Ramona resident, joined the Army Air Corps with his twin brother after both graduated high school in 1942. A member of the 388th Fighter Squadron, he became a prisoner of war when his P47 Thunderbolt plane was hit over Luxem-

bourg, Germany, on Sept. 21, 1944. Those familiar with the film “The Great Escape” have heard of Stalag Luft III, where Kling was a POW. After three months there, the prisoners spent a week walking in snow and riding in box cars, nearly starving to death. He then was held in Mooseborg’s

Wehrmacht Camp for two and a half months and was freed on April 29, 1945. He will tell his story at the Military Salute, which also will include several other formal ceremonies honoring the military and will end with a cake cutting ceremony and social at 7:45 p.m. A silent auction and bake sale also are planned.

County OKs $46,993 for Ramona Girls Softball Ramonans to participate in Carry the Fallen fundraiser addition to nonprofit organizations, the county can also fund schools and fire departments, and supervisors can use the money to supplement other county funding for specific projects such as county parks, roads and libraries. Ramona Girls Softball League serves approximately 180 girls and their families, according to the county report. Increased

Ramona Girls Softball League will receive $46,993 of the $674,763 county supervisors approved in District 2 Neighborhood Reinvestment Program disbursements. The league will use the money for field security, electrical upgrades and irrigation improvements. The supervisors found the project to be exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review. The Neighborhood Reinvestment Program provides grants to nonprofit organizations for public purposes at the regional and community levels. In

security when the field is not in use will help deter trespassers and minimize clean-up times before practices and games. The field’s electrical and irrigation facilities are in need of repairs and upgrades to ensure the safety and security of the fields and to ensure that the players are not exposed to safety risks, states the report.

Volunteer hosts set up residence at Cedar Creek trailhead By KAREN BRAINARD A couple from Arizona has taken up temporary residence as trailhead hosts for the Cedar Creek Falls trail and is receiving a warm reception from their neighbors along Thornbush Road. Within one week of arriving, they had been invited to dinner at Nancy

and Phil Harding’s home. Francis “Chip” and Christine D’amico are volunteering through a program with the U.S. Forest Service, which in turn provides a concrete pad and hook-up at the trailhead for them to live in their motor home. The Cedar Creek trail starts at the end of Thornbush Road in San Diego Country Estates

and hikers must obtain a permit through the forest service to use the trail. A spokesperson from the Cleveland National Forest office described the hosts’ duties as “to help educate the public and essentially be our eyes and ears.” The D’amicos, who love being outside, are enthusiastic about their new role. “We’ve committed to three months,” said Christine, adding they might stay longer. “We really love it.” The couple, both in their early 50s, said the forest service found their backgrounds a perfect fit for the trailhead. Chip is a retired police sergeant and Christine retired from a career in customer service. Chip said he sees a real need for hosts at the trail, which prohibits alcohol and jumping and diving from the cliffs into the pool below the falls. For anyone who gets caught, Chip said, “It’s actually a misdemeanor charge on their record.” Since they arrived on

Chip and Christine D’amico from Arizona serve as volunteer trailhead hosts for the Cedar Creek Falls trail, checking for visitor use permits, educating hikers and serving as “eyes and ears” for the forest service.

Oct. 18, they have seen a few young people arrive and leave after noticing their parked RV. The couple will check that hikers have permits and, if not, show them

how to access a permit from a smartphone. They also will advise people of the trail’s challenges and the need to take plenty of water. Still, that doesn’t sound like enough work

to them. “We’re people who like to stay busy all the time,” noted Chip, saying they also will be taking out trash, weeding and landscaping.

Judge orders three to stand trial in Hallman murder By NEAL PUTNAM Following a three-day preliminary hearing, three people were ordered to stand trial for the murder of former Ramona resident Michael “Gabe” Hallmann, who was stabbed to death in 2012. DNA evidence links two suspects, Francisco Jose Arellano, 32, and Michael Vincent Reyes, 29, to the murder, according to testimony. Nicole Anna Ibarra, 36, who lived at the Sterling Court house where Hallmann was attacked, will also stand trial. A Michael Hallmann Memorial page on Facebook shows several comments from people glad the suspects were ordered on Oct. 30 to stand trial.

Hallman, who graduated from Ramona High School in 1997, had moved to San Diego. His parents attended the hearing every day. San Diego Superior Court Judge Jeff Fraser also ordered the trio to stand trial on allegations that the slaying was done in association with a criminal street gang. Fraser said the gang benefited from the murder as it helped their reputation and perhaps made others fear the gang. Defense attorneys disputed any of the three were gang members despite testimony from a gang expert who read documents that he said inferred that Arellano collected “taxes” from people who paid him money to leave them alone.

It’s not known why Hallman, 34, was in the Chollas Creek area of San Diego that night on Sept. 30, 2012. He had been drinking alcohol and he had a .16 blood/ alcohol level at his death, twice the limit for drunk driving, according to court records. Ibarra started the incident in motion, according to Deputy District Attorney Brenda Daly. Ibarra phoned Arellano and Reyes to come over to her house where Hallmann was at the time. “She had some problem with Mr. Hallmann. She called people over there at 4 a.m. She took them to where Hallmann was,” said Daly. “She’s the one who sets everything in process.” Detective Michael Lambert testified he interviewed a witness who said the victim was

“acting goofy” and “was dancing around,” possibly due to his intoxication. Hallmann had been stabbed multiple times and also had head injuries. Paramedics rushed him to a hospital where he died several hours later. Lambert testified a bandana and a baseball cap were recovered from the scene and submitted to a lab for DNA analysis. In a stipulation between Daly and three defense attorneys that was read into the record, the bandana has Reyes’ DNA on it and Hallmann’s blood. A black baseball cap found at the scene has Arellano’s DNA. Attorneys for Reyes and Arellano argued their clients were not there, but those two items were left there at an earlier time.

Detective Deanna Warrick testified she interviewed a witness who was drinking alcohol with Hallmann and who identified Reyes as one of the men at the party. Warrick said the witness told her that both male suspects “had mean looks on their face like that of the devil.” A trial date will be set on Nov. 13. Ibarra was arrested by San Diego Police March 13, while Reyes and Arellano were arrested in December 2012. They have all pleaded not guilty. Arellano, of Chula Vista, has a prior conviction for manslaughter in North County in 2000, court records say. Reyes, of El Cajon, has prior convictions for robbery and felony assault. The three suspects remain in jail.

Guest Commentary

Let’s serve veterans as well as they have served us By DANIEL M. DELLINGER

uring the recent government shutdown many numbers were thrown around. But there is one number that stands out and it has nothing to do with the debate over the federal budget. More than one a day. That is how many members of our active-duty military, National Guard and reserve forces have committed suicide over the last year. Simply put, we are losing more service members by their own hands than we are by the enemy in Afghanistan. Only those who experienced firsthand the horrors of combat can understand why most of these young men and women feel compelled to take such drastic and permanent measures. As Veterans Day ceremonies and parades occur throughout the country, it is important that we commit ourselves to do everything possible to prevent these needless and tragic deaths. We are their friends, their family, their co-workers and their neighbors. It is up to us to ensure that every veteran feels that his or her service to this country is appreciated by their fellow Americans. There are many tangible ways that we can acknowledge their sacrifice, but the easiest is to simply say, “Thank you for what you have done for our country.” If he is showing signs of unhappiness or depression, encourage him to seek help through the VA immediately. If she has had difficulty obtaining the benefits that she is entitled to, let her know that The American Legion has thousands of trained service officers nationwide who will help her navigate the bureaucracy free of charge. And if that veteran has made the Supreme Sacrifice, remember the price that has been paid for our freedom and offer your support to the loved ones left behind. But Veterans Day is a time to honor not just those who have fought for us in battle, but, in fact, all of the outstanding men and women who served in our nation’s armed forces since our founding more than 237 years ago. Not all veterans have seen war, but a common bond that they share is an oath in which they expressed their willingness to die defending this nation. Perhaps most significant in preserving our way of life are the battles that America does not have to fight because those who wish us harm slink away in fear of the Navy aircraft carrier, the Coast Guard cutter, the Air Force fighter squadron or the Army soldier on patrol. Or they have heard the words that recently retired Gen. James Mattis shared with his Marines: “Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everybody you meet.” While we should all be grateful for the remarkable advancements made in military medicine and prosthetics, the fighting spirit and inspirational stories of our veterans are not due to technology. These traits come from the heart. And many of these veterans are women, such as Army Chief Warrant Officer Lori Hill. While piloting her helicopter over Iraq in 2006, she maneuvered her chopper to draw enemy gunfire away from another helicopter and provide suppressive fire for troops on the ground. Despite flying a damaged aircraft and suffering injuries, she landed the helicopter safely, saving her crew. For her actions, she became the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross. Women are major contributors to our military presence in Afghanistan and many have given their lives in the War on Terrorism. In the poem “Tommy,” the great writer Rudyard Kipling lamented over the rude treatment a British soldier received at a pub. Writing in classical old English, Kipling compared the abuse with the more favorable treatment that “Tommy” receives by the public during war. “For it’s Tommy this, an ‘Tommy that, an’ ‘Chuck him out, the brute!’ But it’s ‘Savior of ‘is country’ when the guns begin to shoot; An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please; An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool – you bet that Tommy sees!” Let us always treat our 23 million veterans as the saviors of our country that they are. Even when the guns are no longer shooting. Daniel M. Dellinger is national commander of the 2.4 million-member American Legion.

Sentinel Reader Opinion Proud of Scouts and their parents I’d like to publicly thank all the Girl Scout and Boy Scout leaders who perform a multitude of service projects for our community each year. Just this week I received the following update from one of our dedicated leaders: “On Oct. 6 the Girl Scouts spent a couple hours sprucing up the Scout Hut in Collier Park. Seventeen Girl Scouts and their parents scrubbed sinks, washed windows, polished the piano, dusted off cobwebs, cleaned toilets, shined mirrors, cleaned out drawers, swept walkways, and scrubbed floors. "The place looked much

better when the girls left.” I’m so proud of the Scouts and their parents who dedicate their time to making our town a better place, and are teaching these youth to be productive citizens. Kudos!

was next to lowest in tribute. Belle Starr, an “also-ran” in Western lore, gets top billing, and second place goes to Matt Dillon, a fictional lawman, likely modeled after Earp, who debuted in a radio drama in the post-war era. Earp was an amazing guy: Born in 1848, he served as a mid-teen in the Civil War on the Union side and then served as a police officer in Wichita and Dodge City until 1877, when he was employed in wild and woolly Tombstone, Ariz., as an armed guard for Wells Fargo and Co. Eventually, he was hired as marshal of the town and brought his brothers, Virgil and Morgan, in as assistants. Together with the notorious

What about the various residential construction projects being proposed? Will they help? This decline needs to be reversed. A sales effort needs to be established to sell the Ramona schools as a great place to enroll students.

gambler John “Doc” Holliday, the Earps met the drugrunning and cattle-rustling Clanton Gang near the O.K. Corral in that town in 1881, and the shootout, which lasted less than a minute, destroyed the gang and became the fodder of several Westerns, none of which ever portrayed the incident correctly. The only accurate rendition was done by CBS News in 1962. In a conversation with Sid Wilson, the proprietor of the O.K., in 1963, he told me, “If they (the Earps) were around today, they’d be like the Mafia.” Controversy over the good/evil of the brothers will never end. Earp eventually became a San Diegan and told his life story

to writer Stuart Lake, who resided in the U.S. Grant Hotel. Earp was invited to referee a major boxing match in the 1920s in San Francisco and received a huge round of applause and laughter as he stepped into the ring

with his “Buntline Special” pistol on his hip. Footnote: Sid Wilson drove the last six-horse stage from Tucson in 1899. He was still “rollin’his own” cigarettes in 1963. A.G. Smith, Ph.D. Ramona

From flower child to teacher and writer, meet Penny Fox By MARTA ZARRELLA One would not know by looking at her today that Penelope “Penny” Fox has been a hippie, a lover of all things from the 1960s, all her life. Fox is passionate about the era of her teen years, the time of social and sexual revolution in this country. Her first novel, “Daisy in a Gun Barrel,” explores this era in a story that is based on real-life political, social and cultural events and characters, some of whom the author has known. Readers will recognize some of the characters in this wellresearched book. On her website Fox says, “The 1960s are still with us, the dilemmas of that decade continue to confound people as they grapple with the ideologies that entered the consciousness of the nation during those years.” A teacher for 42 years, Fox realized that this decade — which was so important to the social

Sentinel photos/Marta Zarrella

Penelope “Penny” Fox talks to members of the San Vicente Valley Club about her first novel, “Daisy in a Gun Barrel.” and sexual norms of today — was largely ignored in schools. “This story began to take shape in my mind when I was still in the classroom,” she said. “The thrust of the novel is to bring attention to the dramatic social, po-

litical, spiritual and economic changes that happened during the 1960s.” Before the fight for equality in the 1960s, blacks were required to take a test to have the right to vote; whites were not. Women also were fighting for equality. Fox goes back in time through her characters Dianna, a teacher, and Randall, a musician, who find romance in college only to be torn apart by war. This generation of independent thinkers was determined to change the world into a better, kinder place. The story follows them through trials and tribulations from 1962 to 1970. As a lover of all music from this era, Fox uses music to remember pivotal moments in the 1960s. The story is told colorfully by a lifelong educator, music lover and flower child of the 1960s. Fox grew up in Brawley and studied in Washington and Mexico City before starting her career as a

teacher. She taught preschool through university level in Northern California, Ecuador, Mexico and

Southern California. While in the Peace Corps in Malaysia in the 1970s, she was a speech

therapist. She still loves classic rock and blues. For more, see www.daisyinagunbarrel.com/.

Steve Shevinsky retires from dentistry after 31 years in Ramona By KAREN BRAINARD After serving Ramona with dental care for 31 years, Dr. Steven Shevinsky, D.D.S., is retiring and looking forward to traveling with his wife, Lynne. Shevinsky, a Ramona resident since 1982, started as an assistant with Dr. Walt Drexl, D.M.D, when he moved to the community. In 1989, he bought Drexl’s practice at 1530 Main St. While Shevinsky has seen and adapted to changes and advancements in the dental field over the years, his office operations have remained constant. “I’ve seen things go to computerization of which I did not do,” he said, pointing out his shelves of paper charts. Although he has computers at home, he never had one in his office. “Partly because when I started we didn’t have computers,” he explained. His receptionist/office manager of 26 years, Eileen Morris, did fine the

“One of our goals is to go to every major league baseball park in the country.” — Dr. Steve Shevinsky

Sentinel photo/Karen Brainard

Ready for retirement, Dr. Steven Shevinsky, D.D.S., packs up items in the Ramona dental practice that he has owned since 1989. Shevinsky, who sold his practice, marked his last day in the office Nov. 1.

“old-fashioned way” and never really had a need for a computer at the office, he said. “My feeling was the computer didn’t do the dentistry. It is interesting when customers come in and see a typewriter,”

Shevinsky added. On the dentistry side, there has been more specialized work, some of which he provided and other procedures referred to specialists, he said. “One thing that’s new is implants,” he said, point-

ing out they were not around when he started. “Now it’s a great option for patients. It is expensive, though.” The Ramona dentist has never had a big staff and most who worked with him stayed for years. Many

patients have been with him since he started but there has always been a flow of new patients, he said. While Ramona now has more people and more traffic since 1982, Shevinsky said, “I think the basic feel and flavor of the town is the same.” Originally from the Brooklyn area of New York City, Shevinsky earned his degree from New York University College of Dentistry. He and Lynne lived in Philadelphia while she was in graduate school. They came to Ramona following family members. “My brother-in-law came to San Diego, my inlaws came to Ramona, so that sort of paved the way,” he explained. “We felt it would be a great place to raise children.” That they did — their

daughter, Carly, and son, Benjamin, graduated from Ramona High School. Shevinsky and his wife, who recently retired as a teacher in Santee, have no plans to leave the community, other than to travel. “There’s a lot of places in this country we haven’t seen,” he said, adding that they would also like to travel abroad, take cruises, and try out an RV by renting one first. “One of our goals is to go to every major league baseball park in the country,” he noted. The former Dodger fan is now a Padre fan “for better or for worse,” and he and his wife enjoy baseball. The 63-year-old’s last day in the office was Nov. 1. He sold his practice to Dr. Rohit Keshav, D.D.S., who was set to take over on Nov. 4.

Ramona author to introduce new mystery Ramona author Joyce T. Strand will introduce her new mystery novel, “Fair Disclosure,” at Unicorn Books and Gifts, 738 Main St., on Saturday, November 9, from 3 to 5 p.m. Strand will be available to sign copies and discuss the new mystery. Set in the backdrop of investor greed, “Fair Disclosure” is Strand’s third mystery to feature publicist Jillian Hillcrest as the heroine sleuth. Jillian and ex-husband Chad are enjoying a play at a community theater when a scream interrupts the production when a bludgeoned volunteer is discovered. The victim is someone

Jillian interviewed for a job at her company, so she becomes involved, drawn deeper by a second murder, an irate investor, the participation of law enforcement amateurs, an increasingly unreliable assistant and suspicious trading of her company’s stock. Meanwhile, Chad is pressuring Jillian to say

“yes” to a second marriage. Strand, much like her fictional character, served as head of corporate communications at several biotech and high-tech companies in Silicon Valley for approximately 25 years. Unlike Jillian, however, she did not encounter murder. Rather, she focused on publicizing her companies

and their products. She received her doctorate from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and her bachelor’s from Dickinson College in Carlisle, Penn. She lives in Ramona with her two cats, a collection of cow statuary and art, and her muse, the roadrunner.

SDG&E crews dig trenches on San Vicente Road Drivers traveling San Vicente Road to and from San Diego Country Estates may encounter traffic delays between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. as crews dig trenches for utility lines. San Diego Gas & Electric crews are digging 3,200 feet of trench along San Vicente Road, starting just east of Wild-

cat Canyon Road and continuing to the Estates, said a spokesperson for SDG&E. The work, expected to be completed Dec. 15, will allow for the future conversion of overhead lines to underground lines. SDG&E said it hopes to minimize impacts to the community but at times traffic flow may be limited for safety reasons.

CHRISTMAS TREE DONATION—Ramona resident Gary Hart is offering this noble fir tree free to an organization that could use it at Christmastime. The tree, about 24 feet high and 14 feet wide, is growing in his yard and the roots are becoming a problem. He will help move it. Interested persons may contact Hart at 858-349-5294.

Reyes opens business after working for others for decades By JESSICA KING Oscar Reyes has been restoring the interiors of automobiles for three decades. From floorboards to seats and everything in between, Reyes takes pride in his craftsmanship, which he learned from his father. “My family has been doing this for a long time,” he said. “It’s in the blood.” Until earlier this year, Reyes worked for other people and tinkered with

independent jobs out of his home garage in Ramona. In July that changed as Reyes and his wife, Gricelda, opened Escondido Custom Upholstery at 520 N. Quince St. Ramona residents for eight years with four children in Ramona schools, they wanted to open their shop in Ramona. They looked for an affordable space that was about 1,500 to 2,000 square feet with decent

Oscar Reyes works on the interior of a vintage pickup.

“Every project is tailor-made...and the attention to detail turns any project into a one of a kind.”— Oscar Reyes visibility in the community. Unfortunately, said Reyes, they couldn’t find what they were looking for and chose to open in Escondido to save about 25 percent in monthly rent with greater visibility. “We love Ramona,” Gricelda said. “Unfortunately, we had to have the business in Escondido but we’re still a local Ramona business, too.” Reyes will work on boats and furniture, but his specialty is European and American classic automobiles. He said there’s a market for it in Ramona, where he has customers. For Ramona residents who aren’t quite sold on going “down the hill” to check out the new shop, Reyes said he will meet with people in Ramona on his way into work in the mornings or on his way home in the evenings to provide quotes and other

general information. Although price and location were a big consideration in the couple’s decision not to open in Ramona, Reyes also appreciates the other auto restoration businesses already established in Escondido, saying he is getting referrals for the interior work from some of them. All work at Escondido Custom Upholstery is done by Reyes, who said he strives for perfection, not just customer satisfaction. “I am the sole proprietor with no employees, and all the work is done by me,” he said. “Every project is tailor-made...and the attention to detail turns any project into a one of a kind.” Escondido Custom Upholstery is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays.

AWARD-WINNING WRITER—Marta Zarrella’s first article for the Ramona Sentinel earned a first place in the Breaking News category at San Diego Press Club’s 40th Annual Excellence in Journalism Awards. In the article, Zarrella told of Ramona runner Steve Tally’s experience at the 2013 Boston Marathon where two pressure cooker bombs exploded, killing three and injuring others. In addition, Zarrella placed third in the profile category for her Sentinel article titled “From city life to La Dolce Vita and alpacas in Ramona.” Her son Rob accompanied her to the awards ceremony in San Diego on Oct. 29. Zarrella has had a busy year. She recently released her first novel, "A Tangeled Web," available in Unicorn Books and Gifts in Ramona and in other bookstores in the region.

Mazda uses Ramona as operations base for test drives By BILL TAMBURRINO

azda North American Operations recently hosted journalists from the United States and Mexico in Ramona. Mazda invited approximately 100 journalists from prominent magazines and newspapers to test the new

2014 Mazda 3 against the competition in its class. The journalists drove the Mazda 3 and its competition from Honda, Hundai, Toyota, Ford, Kia and Volkswagen. “The journalists all take a long drive that is a big circle,” said David Matthew, Mazda’s vehicle line manager of product planning and strategy. “It goes from San Diego to 94 to Julian and stops in Ramona and then back to San Diego. About 24 journalists a day drive the cars. Every car has a built-in GPS so nobody gets lost.” Ramona was chosen as a base of operations, Matthew explained, because, “We wanted all kinds of roads. We started in the city, and the roads to Ramona are good. Ramona is a beautiful community with good country roads and great scenery. All of the journalists loved it here and we do, too.” The personnel from Mazda North American Operations were very accommodating, polite and helpful. Mike Schoenbachler and Halie Schmidt, also with Mazda North American Operations, said that whenever Mazda comes out with a new product it hosts a media showcase. “It usually consists of all of North America, but this

year Canada is having a showcase of its own,” stated Schoenbachler. “We make a presentation and let the journalists test drive our vehicles and our competition and make up their minds,” said Schmidt. “It is more of a public relations event than a marketing event.” The base of operations in Ramona was San Vicente Resort. The 2014 Mazda 3 comes in a five-door rear hatchback and a four-door sedan. Its five-door Grand Touring model averages 31 mpg: 27 city and 37 on the highway.

Ramona Sentinel Door No. 3 — Measure Just as the professor at SDSU measured my progress through tests and quizzes, you also must measure your progress. The fit of your clothing, your energy level, weight, body-fat, measurements and attitude are all forms of measurement that can help you gauge your level and progress of change. Don’t be afraid of these things, but use them as tools to decide what direction you need to take and what areas you need to work on.

Three doors to change Door No. 1 — Accountability No, we don’t always like being accountable to someone. We live in the land of independence and individualism. We strive to pull ourselves up from our bootstraps and be our own person. Accountable to none, but one — yourself. Good, bad or indifferent, that is our cultural norm. This is not an effective method in making changes in the area of fitness and wellness. It is my strong belief as a coach and fitness facility owner that accountability is key to success and change. One must make it known that you have a goal and what time frame you have for your goal. I remember my college days at SDSU the professor making it known what his expectations were for the semester and he laid it out clearly in the syllabus on day one and measured our progress with quizzes and tests along the way. You also must do the same for whatever goal you have in life. Be accountable to others and vice versa. Door No. 2 — Get Motivated Yes, being motivated is a choice. Your thought life and the ideas and information you feed yourself will dictate your motivation. The inputs we ingest are a choice. These choices influence our mental state. Make an effort to educate yourself in your weaknesses. It may be nutrition, mobility, workout programming, etc. Books, magazines, blogs, videos, mentors and friends can be sources of motivation.

If you open these 3 Doors to Change and make a strong effort to give your 100 percent, whatever that looks like, I know you will be better for it and results will be forthcoming. Good luck and check out my website www.ramonastrainer.com for articles, workouts, videos and how you can get started on your path to you, only better. Peter San Nicolas owns Ramona Fitness Center.

Open house, competition raises $1,245 for deputy’s family Ramona CrossFit affiliate Neighborhood CrossFit at an open house and competition raised $1,245 for the family of a San Diego County deputy sheriff who died of natural causes. Deputy McFarlan, 48, died in September leaving behind four children – triplet 15-year-old sons and a 7-year old daughter. The benefit included a business fair, games and bouncy for the kids, food, silent auction, and door prizes. “As a strong supporter of local law enforcement and with many of our membership active police, fire and first responders, contributing to the McFarlan Memorial Fund was a nobrainer,” said Lori Ross, owner of Neighborhood CrossFit. “Officer McFar-

lan was a true believer in physical fitness and our athletes were excited to dedicate their competition efforts to assist the McFarlan family in their time of need.” The competition included Neighborhood CrossFit members and their families. Dozens of spectators attended and cheered on competitors as they ran, lifted, climbed and jumped their way to success in four divisions: men, women, seniors and kids. San Diego County Sheriff’s Department participated at an informational booth that was part of its active recruitment drive within the county. Michael McFarlan Memorial Fund donations can be made at any San

Bulldog football clinches Palomar League title By BILL TAMBURRINO Bulldogs don’t win dog shows; they win dog fights. And fight they did to win the Palomar League football championship in their game against Torrey Pines. Torrey Pines runs the wing T offense. They depend on finesse, misdirection and guile. The Bulldogs line up and pound the ball and everybody between them and the end zone. The Bulldogs came from behind to win 24-21 on the road to hand Torrey Pines its only league loss as the Bulldogs remain undefeated in the Palomar League. “They are done with league play,” Coach Damon Baldwin said of Torrey Pines after the victory. “We still have one big

league game left. In order to accomplish our first goal we must beat Westview. We don’t want to share the league title with

Torrey Pines. We want it all for ourselves.” The first half wasn’t pretty for the Bulldogs. It was downright ugly.

Ramona fumbled twice deep in Falcon territory and Marco Cobian threw an interception that went for a 30-yard Torrey Pines

touchdown. Cobian rebounded and turned in a solid performance as he hit on eight of 11 passes for 124 yards. Torrey Pines then controlled the tempo of the first half and led 21-7 at intermission. The second half was brutal but not ugly. Four big plays gave the Dawgs the win: two defensive plays, an offensive play and a special teams play. The first defensive play was when Garrett Binkley reversed the momentum of the game on the first play of the third quarter as he intercepted a tipped pass and serpentined 33 yards through the Falcon offense for a touchdown. Torrey Pines then pinned down the Ramona offense with a coffin corner punt that gave the Dawgs the ball on their five yard

line. The big offensive play came when Tanner “TBone” Williams took a first down hand-off and bullied his way for 36 yards. Running from the fullback position, Williams ran over everyone in his path and was pushed out of bounds. An unnecessary roughness penalty tacked on more yards and the Bulldogs were on a roll. The drive ended when Nathan Cherek ran 29 yards off of right tackle for a touchdown. The PAT tied the score at 21. Cherek finished the night as the games leading rusher with 136 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns. The fourth quarter lasted a lifetime. Torrey Pines drove to the Bulldog 35 but the Dawg defense made a stand and took See FOOTBALL on page 30

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

Water Dawgs beat Patriots, take second place in league By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s boys water polo team closed out its Valley League schedule Oct. 30 with a 17-1 win over Orange Glen while augmenting Senior Night ceremonies Nov. 1 with a 10-8 triumph against San Marcos. The win against Orange Glen at the Washington Park pool in Escondido gave Ramona a final Valley League record of 4-1, which was worth second place in the season stand-

ings. Ramona’s overall record stood at 14-12 following the home victory against San Marcos. Ramona had a 6-1 lead over Orange Glen after one period. “They’re still building their program,” Coach Donnie Williams said of the Patriots. The cushion allowed Ramona to focus on play execution in the second period. “We were trying to work on some things,” Williams said. “We slowed down the counterattack.”

Tennis team advances to CIF quarterfinals, loses to Mt. Carmel By BILL TAMBURRINO The Bulldog girls tennis team advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Division II CIF playoffs before being eliminated by Mt. Carmel in a 10-8 match. It was the second trip to the quarterfinals in two years for Ramona’s Lady Bulldogs and their best finish in school history. To get to the quarterfinals Ramona easily handled Hilltop High School 14-4 on the Bulldog girls’ home courts at Riviera Oaks. In singles action Jessica Failla served up another menu of bagels as she posted three 6-0 sets. Coach Matt McCormick had praise for his No. 2 singles player, Megan Douglass: “Megan (6-3, 6-3 and 6-2) played very strong tennis by beating all three of her opponents as she picked up 3 very valuable team points.” Hannah Kent went 4-6 and 2-6, and Elizabeth Bowersox posted a 3-6 set. “Lauren Dunker and Rebecca Vaca (6-1, 6-3 and 6-0) were all over their opponents from start to finish as they picked up three sets. Cassidy Owens and Danielle Vizcarra also took care of business against some very strong doubles teams. Caroline Lopresti and Alyssa Virgilio (7-5, 6-7 and 6-2) played

Levi Vermeulen gives Ramona a 1-point lead in the Water Dawgs’ game against San Marcos.

The 8-1 halftime lead became a 12-1 advantage after three quarters. In the fourth quarter Williams placed field player Jesse Reiling in the nets. Normally Taylor Holas and Jack Sundberg share goalkeeping duties for Ramona; both spent part of the game in the field and each scored his first varsity goal. Garrett Gaither and Tyler Webb led the Bulldogs with three goals apiece. Ten different players scored goals for Ramona. “It was spread out between everybody,” Williams said. “That game went really well for us.” The Valley League competition Oct. 30 also in-

cluded Valley Center defeating Del Norte by a 10-5 score to give Valley Center a 5-0 league record and the Valley League championship. The Bulldogs’ only league loss was against Valley Center. “A little disappointed,” Williams said of finishing second in the league standings. “I thought we had a good shot at winning the league this year.” The convincing win over Orange Glen created another task for the players. “We had to make sure we got refocused for San Marcos on Friday,” Williams said. Although San Marcos is not a league opponent, the

The Ramona High School girls golf team ended its season by finishing fourth in the Valley League golf finals at Twin Oaks Golf Club in San Marcos. The Lady Dawgs shot 1,014 in the two-day, 36-hole event. High school golfers usually play nine-hole matches. In the league finals they shoot 18 holes. On day one, only one

period ended in a gametying goal by Ryan Hall as time expired. The teams entered fourth-period play. On Ramona’s first possession of the final period, Levi Vermeulen’s cross-cage shot went into the net for an 8-7 lead. “That was a momentum goal. That started off the fourth quarter pretty strong for us,” Williams said. Although San Marcos tied the score, Reiling’s counterattack goal 20 seconds later returned the advantage to Ramona. The Knights had no further scoring. The game’s final score occurred on a power play with 50 seconds left. Cory Davison placed the ball into the net. Senior Night honored Ramona’s seven 12th-graders: Thomas Abbott, Gaither, Hall, Luca Pasqualini, Reiling, Vinnie Talento, and Vermeulen. The CIF playoff seeding and selection meeting will take place Nov. 11. “We’re going to be in the middle of the pack for the seeding of D-II,” Williams said.

Cross country teams place 3rd at league cluster meet By JOE NAIMAN The second Valley League cluster meet of the cross country season was held Oct. 31 at Kit Carson Park in Escondido, and the three Ramona High School teams with enough runners to obtain team scores all placed third. “We are getting better across the board, boys and girls,” said Head Coach

Steve Albanese. This year the North County Conference replaced league dual meets with league cluster meets involving all six league teams. The first meet was held Oct. 4 at Guajome Park. At that meet Ramona’s varsity boys took fourth among the six teams, and the junior varsity boys were third among the four teams with

Golf scores improve second day of league finals; Bulldog girls finish fourth place By BILL TAMBURRINO

Bulldogs and Knights are both in Division II for CIF playoff purposes and the game had seeding implications. Ramona scored the game’s first goal. “We did a good job of getting off to a good start,” Williams said. After the Knights tied the score, Bulldog goals on a power play and on a counterattack created a 3-1 Ramona lead entering the second period. San Marcos scored first in the second quarter, although the Bulldogs regained their two-goal advantage about a minute later. A Ramona goal with about 15 seconds left in the half resulted in a 5-3 lead, although a San Marcos shot went into the net with eight seconds remaining for a 5-4 halftime score. The Knights opened the third-period scoring and then scored again for a 6-5 lead. Ramona tied the game with 26 seconds left in the period. San Marcos took a 7-6 lead by scoring with seven seconds remaining in the quarter. Ramona’s final play of the

Lady Bulldog broke 100. Caitlyn Doulgeropoulos carded a 98. Cheyenne Hawkin fired a 101, while Bre Hirsh was one stroke behind with a 102. Shannon Curristan carded a 106, and Amanda Raines shot 111. Coach John Rathbun challenged his team to do better in the second day of the tourney and they responded. “Congratulations on your performance during

the two-day tournament. I was very proud of your accomplishments towards our goal for the second day,” Rathbun wrote in an e-mail to his team. The Lady Dawgs shaved 22 strokes off their first day total. Doulgeropoulos shot 12 strokes lower by carding an 86. Hawkin dropped from 101 to 97. Hirsh dropped nine strokes to a 93, Rachel Costan shot 104, and Curristan recorded a 116.

enough JV runners to obtain a team score. Ramona’s top finisher at the Guajome Park meet was Isaiah Spieker, who placed sixth in that 5,000-meter (3.1-mile) boys varsity race. Spieker’s time of 16:43 on the 3.0-mile Kit Carson Park course gave him fourth place in the Oct. 31 varsity race. Joey Jauregui finished the varsity race in 17:17, which was worth 17th place. Colin Uekert placed 22nd at 17:35. Ben Stein was 26th with a time of 18:11. Anthony Jauregui had a 28th-place time of 18:18. Ramona’s 88 points tied with Orange Glen. In cross country a tie is broken by the position of the sixth finisher. James Meskell had a time of 18:24 to take 29th place and finish ahead of Orange Glen’s sixth runner, thus giving third place to Ramona. The positions of a school’s sixth and seventh finishers are not included in a

team’s score but can add to another team’s score. Ramona’s seventh finisher, Eric Syzmanski, had a time of 18:25 to place 31st. Orange Glen was without its top runner, Andrew Tellames, who was rested due to an injury. Ramona had four varsity girls in the Oct. 4 league cluster and six girls in the Oct. 31 varsity race. “Not all of them are fully healthy, but they’re coming back,” Albanese said. The girls course Oct. 31 was 2.7 miles. Perla Cruz, who finished 17th Oct. 4, repeated her status as Ramona’s top finisher while placing 13th overall with a time of 19:15. Rachel Brown was 18th at 19:48, Elizabeth Schweizer had a 20th-place time of 19:54, Chloe Knowd became the 22nd finisher 19:59 after the start of the race, Anna Sundrud placed 25th after a 20:06 performance, and Elyse Harlan finished 27th and posted a time of See CLUSTER MEET, page 28

Bulldog volleyball betters record with two home wins By JOE NAIMAN

Ramona High School’s girls volleyball team improved its Valley League record to 5-3 and its overall won-loss statistic to 19-9 with home wins Oct. 30 against Valley Center and Nov. 1 against Oceanside. The first game of Ramona’s match against Valley Center was a 25-16 contest in favor of the Bulldogs. The Jaguars had a large lead during the second game, although Ramona was able to tie the score at 22-22 before Valley Center ended the match on the winning side of the 25-23 score. After a 25-19 triumph in the third game, Ramona

sealed the match with a 25-10 victory. “They always know how to get themselves righted,” Coach Connie Halfaker said of her players overcoming mid-match struggles. “They did a very good job of bringing themselves back.” Callie Guasti led the Bulldogs with 15 kills against the Jaguars while Robyn Arthur added 12 kills. Guasti and Natalie Seol shared the team lead with two blocks apiece. Sammy Shupe had 38 assists, eight serving aces, and eight digs. Sydney Hickle contributed six aces and nine digs. Ramona swept Oceanside in 25-8, 25-8, and 25-

16 games. “They were just again much like they were toward the end of game four (against Valley Center),” Halfaker said. “They stepped in just focused and really able to put some things together. Just really did a good job.” During the week the players set personal goals related to improving spe-

cific skills. “All the girls were able to meet the goals that they set,” Halfaker said. Guasti had 10 kills against the Pirates and also recorded two blocks. Hickle served six aces, Katie Flinn provided four digs, and Shupe directed the ball for 15 assists. The Bulldogs will face Oceanside again Thursday on the Pirates’ court to end regular-season play. Saturday’s CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting will determine the rest of Ramona’s 2013 matches.

20:22. The girls had a team score of 86 points. “They ran well as a team,” Albanese said. “They didn’t pack run, but they ran with teammates. I think that helped them out a lot.” The race was Sundrud’s first since Sept. 21 and Harlan’s first since Sept. 13. “It was really great to have them back,” Albanese said. “They still have a lot of room for improvement.” Ramona’s junior varsity boys totaled 54 points. Jackson Sutter and Danny Edwards had times of 18:31 with Sutter placing third and Edwards taking fourth place. Colin McNulty had a time of 19:07 for ninth place. Colton Meskell took 18th place after a 19:42 performance. Chance Hardin had a time of 20:20, which gave him 29th place. Adam Ramirez was 34th at 20:54. Angel Perez finished 37th with a time of 21:01. In the Oct. 4 race, Edwards placed eighth and Sutter was 13th overall as well as the second Ramona finisher. Three Bulldogs ran in the girls JV race. Lucia Hernandez finished seventh with a time of 21:28. Nicole Pshsnychniak placed eighth at 21:45. Aixa Garcia-Cedillo had a time of 25:54 and took 24th place. Albanese didn’t place an emphasis on time difference between the Kit Carson Park race and the Guajome Park league cluster four weeks earlier. “I don’t compare times with the other course,” he said. “This course is actually a lot slower pace-wise,” Albanese said of Kit Carson Park. “It’s more grassy.” Albanese instead compared finishing positions. Eighteen of his 22 runners had higher positions at the Oct. 31 meet than at the first league cluster. “We’re moving in the right direction as a team,” he said. The junior varsity league championship race will take place Friday at Kit Carson Park.

RHS senior to compete on U.S. tumbling team in Bulgaria By KAREN BRAINARD Next week Trevor Jackson, a Ramona High School senior, will be competing on the U.S. team in the 2013 World Trampoline and Tumbling Age Group Competition in Sofia, Bulgaria. The 17-year-old was one of four gymnasts selected by USA Gymnastics to serve on the men’s U.S. team, ages 17 and 18. He will be competing in tumbling. “I’m excited to go. I’ve never been to Europe at all,” he said. The competition is Nov. 13-17, but Jackson is set to leave Nov. 9 to fly to the East Coast, and then fly with the U.S. group on Nov. 10 to Bulgaria. Jackson is ranked second by USA Gymnastics in the 2013 World Age Team, ages 17 and 18. He practices at SoCal TTC in Poway five days a week, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours each time. “Just train and try to get as ready as I can,” he said

of his recent practices. Skills that he incorporates into his tumbling routines include double back layouts, full-ins — double back flips with a full twist in the first flip, and double doubles — a double-twisting double back. “You have to get speed going up to it so I’ll do whips,” he said of his tumbling passes. Jackson attended a

OFF

training camp in September in Texas, that is run by Bela Karolyi, who has coached several Olympic gymnasts. “He was all about teamwork and practice,” Jackson said of Karolyi. At the world competition in Bulgaria, Jackson will compete individually against 34 others for the top eight spots. If he scores high enough to be in the top eight, he will compete again that same day. He will also get to do some sightseeing. Jackson said the USA Gymnastics program director will have tours set up so they get a cultural experience. Jackson, the son of Bill and Lisa Jackson, started gymnastics at age 6 with Poway Gymnastics and then at age 13, changed to SoCal TTC to focus on tumbling and trampoline. His twin sister, Courtney Jackson used to do gymnastics but switched to pole vaulting and competes on Ramona High’s track and field team.

over the ball with 8:39 left in the game. Ramona then drove to the Torrey Pines 32 but was stopped by the Falcon defense with less than four minutes left in the game. Torrey Pines hit the middle of the Ramona defense for a sizeable gain on first down. Travis Kerchner then made the second big defensive play of the half. The Falcon ball carrier was held up by two Bulldog tacklers and Kerchner stole the ball from him. “All game-long he had tried to get extra yardage by reaching the ball forward. I saw that he was in the grasp of two of our guys so instead of putting down with a hit I stole

the ball,” said Ramona’s top candidate for Palomar League defensive player of the year. With good field position Baldwin elected to pound the ball in the middle of the field to set up a field goal. With 1:04 left on the clock, Tyler Vargas hit a 38-yard field goal to put the Dawgs ahead 24-21 on the special teams play of the half. “I didn’t hit it cleanly but I got a lot of power into the kick. It was low but it went far enough. If I had hit it perfectly, it would have still been only worth 3 points and that is all that counts,” said an elated Vargas after the game. With 1:04 left in the

game, Torrey Pines was not ready to quit. Ramona Coach Stephon Pace had dialed up enough stunts to keep constant pressure on the Falcon QB and his team played a rubber-band style against the Torrey Pines running game. They stretched and bent but they did not break. With just over a minute, the defense had its work cut out. Ramona forced three straight incomplete passes and Torrey’s players had a fourth and 10 facing them. The Dawgs appeared to have intercepted a pass for a touchdown when Tanner Williams came up with a big play. However, a pass interference penalty gave Torrey a first down. Again,

the Bulldog defense appeared to intercept a pass as Binkley made the pick, only to have another penalty give Torrey the ball on the Bulldog 28 yard line. Then Keyanis Crichlow made the game-saving play. A completion would put the Falcons in field goal range and a chance at tying the game and forcing an overtime. Keyanis Crichlow sat on a deep out route and stepped in front of the intended receiver and made an interception that counted. Keyanis Crichlow then raced down the sideline and was forced out of bounds on the Falcon one yard line. “I was disappointed at first when I didn’t get into

the end zone but when everybody got to me and started celebrating, I figured that the clock had run out and we were champs. I made sure that I didn’t get beat with a double move and kept the receiver in front of me. When I saw the ball in the air it was an easy play,” explained the oldest of the Crichlow brothers. “Offense, defense, special teams!! Team victory! A lot of people didn’t think we belonged in the Palomar League. We won at least a share of the league championship! That last minute was something else. We had as many fans as they did. Torrey Pines is a very good team and that was a very good game. We refused to quit. We

bounced back from adversity on several occasions and won when it counted the most. I hope that our fans travel to Westview next week and cheer us on to an outright championship. These kids are champions in every sense of the word,” said an elated Baldwin after the game. In a season of big wins, Baldwin and his team came up with the biggest win in school history, so far. On Friday, Ramona will go for its first outright championship since 1998 when it plays Westview. Varsity kicks off at Westview at 7 p.m. It will be Westview’s Senior Night so there will be a big crowd. The JV game starts at 4 p.m.
