School trustees brace for the worst Preliminary layoffs affect 22 teaching jobs, other workers agree to three furlough days By MAUREEN ROBERTSON Ramona school trustees have been told to prepare for the worst, and that’s what they’re doing. As one of seven school districts in the county on the state’s “qualified” list, Ramona
Unified, based on budget projections, will not be able to pay all of its bills starting next year. “The deep cuts made to school funding—and looming uncertainties about the future—are driving school districts to the
brink of insolvency,” State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said last week. Following the county Office of Education directive to prepare a budget with the assumption that proposed tax hikes on the November ballot will not pass, Asst. Supt. David Ostermann said the district has a projected deficit of
$6.5 million for 2012-13. In January, the trustees voted to lay off 15 people working in nonteaching jobs; last month they directed district administrators to bring them proposals to reduce staff, including teachers and support workers, and to reduce or eliminate hometo-school transportation.

The United Nations’ Agenda 21 plan, the county’s Red Tape Reduction Task Force, and a bridge for 13th Street were among topics at County Supervisor Dianne Jacob’s “Coffee with the Constituents” last Thursday morning. Held in the Barnett Barn at the Guy B. Woodward Museum, the coffee drew about 50 people. Discussions on Agenda 21, a plan to take action on human impacts on the environment at the global, national and local levels, have been cropping up in local meetings and emails. Resident John Selck asked Jacob how local planning ideas and concepts relate to the UN plan that was implemented at an Earth Summit in Rio de Janiero in 1992 and signed See COFFEE on page 35

Timeshare draws ‘incredible mix’ of winter residents By KAREN BRAINARD A prominent research scientist and a former member of the Parliament of Canada are just two of the many winter residents enjoying The Good Life in Ramona. Formally known as The San Diego Country Estates Timeshare, The Good Life attracts people from all over the United States and Canada. “The Good Life has brought a lot of interesting people together from all disciplines of life,” said Dr. Ray Rajotte from Edmonton, Alberta, where he is a leader in the medical community and in diabetes research. “It’s an incredible mix of people that come here.” “If people like it, they love it,” Ian McClelland, also of Edmonton, said about the timeshare. The two-term member of Parliament added: “Ramona has a very laid-back and welcome atmosphere. This area is really unique.” The two Canadians did not know each other until

they met at The Good Life. Rajotte is renowned for pioneering islet transplantation, a non-surgical procedure that has the ability to eliminate a Type 1 diabetic’s need for insulin injections. He is the director of the Islet Transplantation Group at University of Alberta, where he is also professor of surgery and medicine and the director of the Surgical-Medical Research Institute. Rajotte is also the founding scientific director of
the Alberta Diabetes Institute, a seven-story building at the University of Alberta where scientists and graduate students work to find methods to prevent, treat, and cure diabetes. “Diabetes is becoming a major epidemic worldwide,” said Rajotte. Through his research, Rajotte found a method to isolate insulin-producing islet cells from a donor pancreas and inject them into a diabetic’s liver where they travel into the
blood supply. He and his team worked with people who had difficulty controlling blood glucose with insulin. In 1989, they carried out Canada’s first islet transplantation and by 1999 they had a 100 percent success rate. The process become known as the Edmonton Protocol. “This really excited the world,” said Rajotte, adding that by 2011, 50 medical centers were using the Edmonton Protocol. The only downside to the transplantation, he said, is the patient has to take anti-rejection drugs, and some experience side effects. Another issue is a limited amount of donor pancreases. Rajotte said they are working to develop an alternative using pig islet cells, because pig insulin is almost identical to human insulin. For his contributions to the medical world, Rajotte has been awarded the Alberta Order of Excellence and appointed a member of the Order of Canada, See SNOW BIRDS on page 36

Chamber lauds Kapelczaks for community contributions By KAREN BRAINARD Many Ramonans are probably unaware that they have been recipients of Ed and Yvonne Kapelczak’s generous community spirit. Over the years, the owners of European Portable Sanitation Services and Sludgebusters septic service in Ramona have donated the use of portable toilets to many local events and have contributed to various organizations, sports teams and youth groups. Ramona Chamber of Commerce recently recognized European Portables for “Outstanding Dedication and Service to the Community of Ramona” by naming it “Business of the Year” for 2011. Ralph Mittman, chair of the chamber’s nominating committee, said European Portables was selected because of the company’s contributions, which often go unrecognized. “They’ve donated, espe-
czak said. During the Witch fire in 2007, European Portables provided free of charge at least 80 portable toilets and serviced them twice a day for the National Guard. In other community contributions, Kapelczak is pictured on the front page of the Dec. 11, 1997 Ramona Sentinel tightening bolts in the rain to secure the town’s 24-foot Christmas tree in preparation for that year’s Christmas Tree Lighting. The Kapelczaks add some comic relief to their line of work, which can be enjoyed in “Ed’s Vignettes,” printed in their Sludgebusters advertisements in the Sentinel. When asked how their business names were created, Ed credits their daughter, Christina, who at 5 years old, came up with the catchy name of Sludgebusters. Three years later after attending a trade show, she created the name for their

officials. “I greatly appreciate it, and was surprised,” Ed Kapelczak said. The chamber plaque and the certificates are displayed on a wall in the
company office. European Portables rents out portable toilets for events, construction sites and emergency services. “During a disaster we get real, real busy,” Kapel-

RMWD sees more delays with solar project Judge sentences former By KAREN BRAINARD If the latest target completion date for the Ramona Municipal Water District’s solar projects is met, it will be more than two years since the district paid $25,000 to reserve a rebate from the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE). That $25,000 reservation fee is supposed to be refunded once the projects are completed, but CCSE’s California Solar Initiative’s incentive was set to expire on April 4, according to Alejo Lopez, manager of Siliken USA, the solar firm working with RMWD. Lopez told board members that he had secured a 180-day extension from CCSE so the rebate would not be at risk. In October 2011, the water district was targeting mid to late December for completion of the solar projects at the San Vicente and Santa Maria wastewater treatment plants. Weather and other delays pushed that back to late February.
Now the district is looking at a late May target date for completion. Lopez said he was notified at the end of November 2011 that the third party investment group involved in the project had been acquired by a larger group and could not continue. Siliken is now partnering with Enfinity America for long-term financing, and Lopez said they hope to begin the projects in March. “We are just working through the last details on our contracts to get going,” he told the board. The solar projects are being constructed through 20-year power purchase agreements (PPA) with a special purpose entity
formed by Siliken. Under the PPA, the water district will purchase all electricity generated by the solar projects at an agreed upon price. The PPAs had to be amended in October 2011 due to mitigation costs for non-native grasslands at the Santa Maria site following the guidelines set by the California Environmental Quality Act. The district estimates it will save $1.5 million in electricity costs over the 20 years. In other business: •The board approved a draft budget calendar for fiscal year 2012-2013 that shows board budget workshops scheduled for March 27 and April 10, and Proposition 218 notices with
proposed not-to-exceed rates to be sent to RMWD customers the week of April 23. The calendar shows a June 12 public hearing on proposed changes to water rates and fire and sewer service charges, followed by the board’s adoption of the budget. •Following a closed session, RMWD General Manager David Barnum said the board returned to open session and authorized him to enter into a separate legal services agreement with a qualified third party law firm or individual for as-needed legal services. As general manager, Barnum said he has the ability to spend up to $30,000 for district legal services and the money is already budgeted.
attorney in baby case
By NEAL PUTNAM A former attorney who lives in Ramona was sentenced to five months in prison followed by seven months home detention after she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud involving misrepresentations to adoptive parents about pregnant surrogates. The U.S. Attorney called the case a “baby selling ring” against Theresa Erickson, 44, and two other lawyers, but her attorney said those were sensationalized descriptions of the violations of law. Erickson resigned her state bar membership after she pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge last
Motorcycle chase starts in Poway, ends in Ramona A bizarre series of crashes and a high-speed chase of a motorcycle rider was reported last Friday by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies said the incident started with a motorbiker hitting some cars in
Poway at 5:30 a.m. on Feb. 24. Witnesses reported the rider fell off the bike several times while trying to drive away, then got conrol of the machine and headed north on Highway 67, according to sheriff’s Lt. J.T. Faulkner.
A court service deputy who was driving a marked vehicle spotted the suspect and attempted to pull him over, but the motorcyclist continued to ride north, Faulkner said. The rider yielded at the intersection of state Route
67 and Hedy Drive, near Ramona, and was arrested, Faulkner said. He then complained of leg pain. Paramedics were called out and took the suspect to Pomerado Hospital for evaluation and treatment, Faulkner said.
August and is allowed to remain free on $10,000 bond until she surrenders April 23. It’s been described as a complicated scenario. Erickson was an expert on reproductive law and arranged for women to be impregnated with embryos and live in the Ukraine area. Surrogates are supposed to meet adoptive parents before they get pregnant, but Erickson and the others sought fees from would-be parents after the fact. Erickson’s attorney, Ezekiel Cortez, maintained she only made $70,000 over a seven-year period in the arrangement. U.S. District Court Anthony Battaglia said he would set a restitution hearing within 60 days. The babies remain with the adoptive parents who had no knowledge the scheme violated federal laws. They were told the original adoptive parents dropped out of the arrangement with the surrogates.

At What Price Do We Save Our Schools
T
here is showdown fast approaching that will affect the future of our public schools for many years to come. Most school districts in San Diego County are operating at a deficit with major cuts that are needed immediately and even more cuts if Governor Brown’s tax measure fails. Brown’s measure includes a half-percent sales tax that would go into effect Jan. 1 and expire at the end of 2016. It also would impose a varying tax increase for high earners who make $250,000 or more in annual income. But not all of the taxes raised would go to the schools. Brown estimates his measure would generate about $7 billion in 2012-13. Another initiative, the “millionaire’s tax” that has a group of supporters including the California Federation of Teachers (mostly community college teachers), is a measure that would increase those earning $1 million in annual income to pay a tax increase of 3% and those making $2 million or more an additional 5%. This initiative would bring in $6 billion to $9 billion. Yet another measure has tax increases that start at those earning $17,500 ($11 annual increase) and continues to escalate as the income rises. Someone who makes $750,000 annually would pay $12,516 more. This initiative would raise about $10 billion. So at what price do we save our schools? Here’s a thought: Let’s take a hard look at the school system itself to see what changes need to be made to increase student and teacher performance and what that will cost. Next, put funds where they are needed most to accomplish this and hold school boards accountable to manage the budgets. Once a sustainable plan is created, then let’s look at where the money comes from. Any tax increase should have a cap (ie: sales tax increase for so many years). Raising taxes to bail out a broken system makes no sense. We need to have a plan that makes sense, and so far I haven’t seen one. Jeff Mitchell Publisher

‘The biggest little post in San Diego’ By JOHN HINE My fellow Ramonans, e, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3783 PFC Archie G. McArthur, cannot thank the community of Ramona enough for the amazing year we have had in 2011. We wanted to tell you about our plans for the upcoming 2012 year. Our motto is “We’re the biggest little post in San Diego,” and we could not do that without you. We wanted to tell you about the great things we will be doing for you. Flag retirements: Whether at home or in front of your business, the symbol of our country from time to time needs to be replaced. We are happy to take your worn flag and properly dispose of it. This year we will hold our first ever public flag retirement ceremony. We will make sure this gets listed in all the Ramona event calendars. Scouting: Every year Post 3783 recognizes those who obtain the rank of Eagle Scout. Many Eagle
W
Scouts work hand in hand with the VFW to complete their Scout projects. Two Scouts have taken the time and completely refurbished both signs outside of our post. Currently our Scout of the Year competition is under way. The winning Scout of the Year will receive a check from the post and advance on to district competition, and then possibly on to state and national competition with cash awards at each level. Memorial Day: Once again, VFW Post 3783 will hold a Memorial Day Celebration at Nuevo Memory Gardens cemetery. Unfortunately, every year we hear about one or two veterans who did not get a flag placed on their grave. To ensure every veteran is recognized, the cemetery must know your loved one is a veteran. We place our flags in accordance with a master list constantly updated by the cemetery. We will also hold smaller ceremonies at the World War II memorial on Ninth Street and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Highway 67. In addition, we will host a community

This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and every year you, the community of Ramona, comes through. When we “sell” poppies—there is no price— it’s your generous donation. When we raise these funds, there are special rules that we MUST comply with. Every single penny must go to the direct relief of a veteran or their dependants. Some of the things we did in 2011: Donated funds to a member whose special needs van was wrecked by an uninsured motorist; we donated to the Veterans Village of San Diego Stand Down, which gets homeless vets off the street and gets them the care and aid they require; we donated monies to add to our Christmas Families we adopted in military housing. Blood Drives: in 2012, we are going in a new direction. This year we will be sponsoring Naval Medical Center San Diego blood drives. This is a new opportunity for us, which parallels our core mission to support our veterans and active duty troops. Our first blood drive will be on Saturday March 10, 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Any person who donates will See RAMONA VFW PLANS on page 9

Sentinel Reader Opinion Stand up and oppose proposal to eliminate planning groups
I strongly recommend Ramona citizens stand up and oppose the recent proposal to eliminate Community Planning Groups. Their elimination would effectively silence the voice of citizens in helping determine their own community’s future and destiny. Effective democracy requires that our government maximize the opportunity for ordinary citizens to be heard and ensure all perspectives can be freely expressed. Only then can elected officials better make sound and well-considered decisions. Robust citizen participation provides extra eyes and ears to the process and helps promote open and responsive government. Those who truly understand American history know that the communication paths between those who are governed and those who govern should be maximized not minimized, and the current San Diego County Community Planning Group system has generally served both citizens and elected officials well. If citizens fail to speak up, the county supervisors will then assume we do not care about preserving our right to be a part of local decisions that directly affect us. History has shown that
liberty and democracy are usually lost a nibble at a time due to apathy/inattention. I urge that citizens contact our county supervisor, Dianne Jacob, at dianne. jacob@sdcounty.ca.gov today to encourage her to convince all members of the Board of Supervisors to remember the wisdom of Abraham Lincoln on this matter—and support government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Not Your Grandma’s Senior Center
I am a business administration major and in a leadership class. One of our projects is to work with a non-profit organization to see how a student would be able to bring value to the organization. I came across the “Ramona Senior Center” and thought I would like that. I asked the center’s executive director, Ray Cardona, to allow me to work with the center and see what I could do. At first, I expected it to be like an “old folks” home. I have lived in Ramona for many years and have not heard much about the center. Let’s just say, I was completely misguided in my assumptions about the Senior Center. It’s classified as a nutrition center to provide meals for seniors. So I know what many are
thinking: •This is just for really old people, right? Wrong! Let’s admit it, 60 is the new 40. Baby boomers are more active and social than any preceding generation. The term “senior” scares the wits out of many, but it is just a name, just like 60 is only a number and that never holds anyone back. The Senior Center is a place to make friends, play billiards, cards, take various classes, and have a great lunch. •This is only for the people who need financial assistance, right? Wrong! Anyone can come in. There is a suggested donation of $4 for lunch, but nobody is turned away for not being able to pay. The center program also delivers hot meals to homebound in the region who might not otherwise have any meals provided to them. The center encourages everyone to come in and have lunch while helping those who are less fortunate in the process. So, if you are looking for fun, you are at least 60 years young and have a few hours to spend, come to the center. You will be surprised by what you find and you may just have a new hangout. Don’t let the name fool you—it’s not your grandma’s senior center. Kristen Rice Ramona

Area PTA honors volunteers at Founders Day meeting A record 25 delegates from Ramona Sun Valley Council PTA attended Ninth District PTA’s (Imperial and San Diego counties) Annual Meeting/ Founders Day celebration at a breakfast at the Scottish Rite Center Mission Valley. The February event honors the three women who founded what is known as today’s PTA, and also provides an opportunity for representatives from all of the PTAs in San Diego and Imperial counties to take care of business such as the budget review, bylaw discussion and elections. Sun Valley Council is the umbrella organization representing all of the PTAs in the Ramona Unified School District. “Usually, Sun Valley Council only has enough delegates to fill one table,” said Everett. “This year we had a record amount of delegates and filled two seats shy of three tables!” Among those representing Ramona were Superintendent Robert Graeff, RUSD Trustee Kim Lasley, and “an unheard of” six school principals: Shelagh Appleman, Phyllis Munoz, Linda Solis, Pauline Leavitt, Kim Reed and Theresa Grace, and Ramona High Assistant Principal Dave Lohman, reported Everett. From Ramona PTAs were Everett, Sun Valley Council Executive Vice

President Kate De Weerd, Sun Valley Council Secretary Shelley Tinkess, RHS PTSA President Mary Hopperton, Olive Peirce Middle School PTSA President Katie Schwegler, Mount Woodson PTA President Janine Stemper with her husband Jim Stemper (who wanted to support his wife and “see what it was all about”), Hanson Elementary PTA President Molly Whalen and member Ashley Farmer, Ramona Community School PTSA President Mary Carter-Vail, Ramona Elementary PTA President Michelle Tamlyn and member Cynthia Rios, and Barnett PTA President Michelle Lopez and members Lorien Hayes and Amy Shelby. Kay Stuckhardt from Palomar Pomerado Health also attended. Highlights of the event included a talk from the 2011 Teacher of the Year and a presentation from California PTA President Carol Kocivar about the PTA’s Ballot Initiative: Our Children Our Future. Ninth District presented
Honorary Service awards to Ron Jessee and Judy Williams and a posthumous award to Carolyn Johnson. Everett presented a Very Special Organization Award to PPH/Community Action Council. Stuckhardt accepted the award because Ramona resident Nancy Roy was unable to attend “as she was at Ramona Elementary running one of the programs that earned them the award,” said Everett. Also, Ninth District President Karen Fleck presented San Diego County Superintendent Randy Ward with a mock check for $21,227,290.32 representing the “real world value of the volunteer hours of this school year to date,” said Everett. At the Ramona school board meeting after the regional PTA breakfast, Graeff said 500 PTA volunteers attended as well as school administrators and teachers. “It was a real testament to parent volunteerism in our schools locally,” said Graeff.

Active Duty Troops: We hear year after year in engaging with our troops, “We thought you had to be retired,” which could not be further from the truth. Our active duty troops and their dependants are ALWAYS welcome at our post. One of the best-kept secrets of Ramona is how good our volunteer cooks are. Also little known until now, the public is invited for all our meals. We cook dinners every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, and breakfast on Sundays.
Thursdays are burger and fries or fried chicken. Friday is fish and shrimp fries. Saturdays rotate, but prime rib and rib eye steaks are every month. Sundays also rotate, with chicken fried steak and eggs, New York strip steak and eggs, french toast and eggs or omelets making an appearance. You can keep up on our menus and ongoing events on our website VFW3783.com or of course on Facebook “VFW Post 3783.” Our Auxiliaries: Our Men’s Auxiliary and Women’s Auxiliary are a vital team to make everything we do in harmony.
Our auxiliaries are made up of the spouses, sons and daughters of our active duty members. They plan and organize many events—cancer fundraisers, Wounded Warriors poker runs, Christmas in October, Christmas Wrapping Party and of course our adopted families at Christmastime. It cannot be said enough, “Thank You” for all you have done with and for us. As we look forward to what we can do for you in 2012.

Crime Stoppers offers reward in metal thefts at 4 churches Save the date..................... Authorities are seeking the public’s help in identifying whoever stole copper and aluminum from air conditioning units at churches in Ramona. Four churches have been targeted in a two-month span beginning in late November, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Of those four, one was targeted three times.
The crime spree began at the Church of Latter Day Saints at 527 Ninth St. Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church at 537 E St. was struck next. Authorities said the Catholic church was hit two more times before the thief or thieves moved on to The Way Church at 838 Hanson Lane. The most recently targeted—in late
January—was St. Mary’s in the Valley Episcopal Church at 1010 12th St. Authorities estimate the total loss to all four churches is more than $44,000. Anyone with information was asked to call Crime Stoppers’ anonymous tip line at 888-580-8477. Tipsters may receive a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.
On Saturday, April 7, Congregation Etz Chaim will observe the 31st anniversary of the first Passover Seder held in Ramona. From the 60 or so people who celebrated the Exodus that evening came the nucleus of observant Jews who founded Etz Chaim, said Rhoda Hamburger, adding, “so this is the an-
niversary of the congregation as well.” “Join Rabbi Leslie Bergson and Cantor Mary Baron in singing the joyous paens to freedom, as once again the congregation celebrates Passover,” said Hamburger. The celebration will be in the Rotunda, 16911 Gunn Stage Road, at 4 p.m.

the proposed layoffs affect 22 jobs, including the three elementary vocal music teachers, 15.49 elementary teachers, two elementary special education jobs that are vacant, a speech therapist job that is vacant, three teachers on assignment who work in the district office, five part-time Title 1 employees and two earlystart kindergarten teachers. In recent years, most teachers receiving layoff notices returned to the classroom after the state’s final budget was approved. “We’re in a whole dif-

ferent ball game this year,” said Lezlie Mitchell, firstgrade teacher at Barnett Elementary, who attended the meeting to support fellow first-grade teacher Jeana Utech, who anticipates receiving her fourth preliminary layoff notice in her five years with the district. Ostermann at recent school board meetings has said that additional money that districts have received from the state and federal governments in past years is not expected in the 2012-13 fiscal year that
will start July 1. Trustees on Monday also ratified an agreement with the district’s 246 support staff in the Ramona chapter of the California School Employees Association (CSEA). The agreement calls for the workers to take three unpaid furlough days before June 30. The agreement is expected to save the district $121,372 this fiscal year, which ends June 30. Superintendent Robert Graeff said members of the district’s management team have agreed to do the same and details will be brought to the March 13 board meeting. If the Ramona Teachers Association (RTA) agrees to take three unpaid furlough days, schools will be closed on April 10, May 24 and May 25. If RTA does not take the furlough days, CSEA and Administrative Leadership Team members will arrange with their supervisor to take three unpaid days off before June 30. In a 67-34 vote, CSEA members ratified the agreement last Friday afternoon, said Jim King, Ramona CSEA president.

Ramona Unified School District Board President Dan Lopez talks with district employees after a special meeting in which the board approved preliminary layoff notices. In the background is Trustee Dawn Perfect.
King was among an estimated 45 people who attended the Feb. 27 special meeting. In addition to reporting that CSEA had ratified the agreement, “I also wanted to be here tonight to let you know that CSEA’s not at all happy with their decision,” he said. “Once again, we’re being asked to take more hits on top of more hits and again it’s always the classified.” Board members say they want to keep cuts away from the classroom, he said, “but your whole agenda tonight affects the
classroom, not just with the classified, but with the teachers...You’re elected in this town to make the hard decisions, not go after the easy targets, so let’s work a little harder on looking for ways to cut.” Two parents, a music teacher and the speechlanguage pathologist at James Dukes Elementary spoke against eliminating the vocal music program at the elementary schools. Graeff posed two questions to Asst. Supt. Anne Staffieri: •If the board approves
the preliminary layoffs, does that mean the teachers would lose their jobs? Is it a certainty? ‘No...this action just makes sure that the March 15 deadline, statutory requirements, would be met,” replied Staffieri. •Is there an opportunity for the board to reduce this number to a smaller number, even to zero? “Absolutely possible, yes,” said Staffieri. Reduced funding and the projected 12th year of declining student enrollment continue to challenge the district, she noted. The proposed layoffs are projected to save the district about $1.24 million annually. Trustee Rodger Dohm said that in the past three years the district has cut $7 million from the budget. “That’s a huge amount of money, and we still have to reduce $11.6 million (in the next two years),” he said. “...This is really bad. We really don’t have a lot of choice.” And, he added, “this is just the beginning of what we’re going to have to do. This is not the end.” If the district doesn’t cut, “the state could come in and take over the school district,” said Dohm. “Maybe that wouldn’t be a bad idea,” a female voice in the audience said. Board President Dan Lopez expressed concern about class size and said, “I don’t want to see upper grades (4-6) go up because of this. I think they’re at their max.” The trustees thanked those who came to the meeting and encouraged them to come to future meetings to hear complete budget reports.

Ramona entrepreneur makes gardening easy By JESSICA KING Carol Eifler has lived in Ramona for more than 20 years and can be found most days at Laund-YerMutt — her do-it-yourself dog-washing business in the Albertsons shopping center. It is an enterprise she started after her longtime general contracting business began to slump off in the bad economy. But her talents span far beyond her passion for concrete masonry and pampered pets. A Renaissance woman in every sense of the word, Eifler is at it again. She’s now ready to conquer the gardening world with a hydroponics garden tower that is ideal for apartment and condo dwellers, restaurants and would-be green-thumbers who just don’t have the time or energy for a traditional garden. The tower is made of two wooden posts and a vertical snake-like arrangement of PVC that allows for water (kept below in a plastic
tub with a pump) to recirculate through the piping. Carefully spaced along the top of the piping are holes to hold a variety of small plants ready to benefit from the water and added nutrients, but no soil. All products and materials are purchased in Ramona, said Eifler. A prototype of the tower sits in front of Laund-YerMutt and, with spring just around the corner, Eifler hopes to be inundated with orders in no time. “You have to be driven today to keep up with
things because the economy is constantly changing and changing fast,” said Eifler, whose contracting background centered around yard and patio renovations. The cost for the tower starts at $450 for a version that stands 5 feet tall by 4 feet wide and holds 20 plants. For an added fee, Eifler will maintain the tower, but she’s also happy to show customers how to maintain it themselves. All it takes, Eifler said, is changing the water every two to three weeks and
Appeal proceeds on winery ordinance As Ramona wineries continue to open tasting rooms, lawyers prepare for oral arguments on the legal challenge to the county’s tiered winery zoning ordinance. San Diego Citizenry Group, represented by Coast Law Group, is appealing Judge Timothy Taylor’s April 15, 2011, ruling in favor of the ordinance and the nearly $16,500 the judge is requiring the group to pay
for administrative costs. Taylor’s ruling came after the citizenry group challenged the county supervisors’ approval of the Environmental Impact Report for the winery ordinance. Both Coast Law Group and San Diego County Counsel have filed briefs and requests for oral arguments on the appeal. James O’Day, San Diego senior deputy county counsel, said the case is
at the point for the court to schedule oral arguments, but he said those might not be scheduled until the summer. The tiered winery zoning ordinance and General Plan amendment, approved by the county supervisors on Aug. 4, 2010, allow boutique wineries by right to open tasting rooms on land with A70 or A72 agricultural zoning. — Karen Brainard

adding in nutrients. It’s perfect for those who travel for business or pleasure often, because they don’t have to arrange for someone to come water while they’re gone, said Eifler. For those wanting large gardens, Eifler can build a tower up to 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide capable of holding 40 or so plants. She is also happy to customize the tower’s color, make it mobile or start any plants that a customer might request. “Basically, we can do about anything,” Eifler said. “It’s very easy to customize.” Hydroponics as it exists today dates back to the mid-1800s but published experiments in growing plants without soil date back to the early 1600s. “I’ve always loved gardening. I’ve liked the idea of hydroponics for a long time,” Eifler said. “It’s nothing new. It’s been around for centuries and it works. It’s a little bit more aesthetically pleasing, I think. Plus, not everyone has room for a big old garden or the time.” The benefits go on and on, Eifler said, pointing to convenience, lower water and grocery bills, less runoff and watering of weeds, and the complete and total avoidance of pesky gophers. The tower can also double as a privacy wall for an apartment or condo balcony or patio. Eifler sees no limits in how far her latest venture could go. “Bring it on,” she said, adding that she’s really interested in targeting the restaurant markets in San Diego.

RHS Grad awarded Air Force Achievement Medal Airman First Class John Jason English II, a former Ramona resident and Ramona High School Class of 2005 graduate, has been awarded the Air Force Achievement Medal for his accomplishments while serving in Iraq. English was a member of the 332d Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, 332d Expeditionary Security Forces Group, and 332d Air Expeditionary Wing at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. The award states that English excelled at defending the airbase and protecting the Department of Defense’s busiest single runway operation, along with 24,000 personnel. “Additionally, Airman English immediately responded to the perimeter fence line and prevented local nationals from damaging the perimeter intrusion detection system, protecting the $22 million system,” the award states. The Air Force also commended English for installing sirens and emergency light bars for up-armored high mobility multipurpose vehicles that improved the unit’s contingency response capability. English is the son of former resident Mary Lou English and the grandson of Ramona resident Judy Eaton. He attended Ramona Elementary and Olive Peirce Middle Schools before entering Ramona High School. The RHS grad enlisted in the Air Force in January
2006, “chasing his dreams into reality,” according to his mother. He has been deployed twice—once to Kuwait and once to Iraq. English married his high school sweetheart, Kaleena Gervias, and they have two daughters, Shayla and Ryleigh. The family lives in Colorado Springs where English is stationed out of Cheyenne Mountain and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

Massage Face and Chronic Pain I was recently speaking with a lady, let’s call her Valerie, at the club a few weeks ago as she was coming out of her massage treatment with one of our fabulous massage therapists. She had what I call her “massage face” on. This is not to be confused with hungover face although the two really are quite similar: Eyes a little groggy and out of focus, face a tad bit squished from the massage table face cradle, mostly happy, and slightly unaware of her surroundings. Get the picture? I was finishing my workout and said to her, “Feeling pretty good from your massage? Isn’t the therapist great?” I usually try to get some sort of body work at least three times per month and sometimes more if I can squeeze into
their schedule between their clients. Why in the world would one need massage that often? After speaking with Valerie for a bit, I came to find out that she lives in chronic pain and has some spinal fusions and a number of injuries from car accidents. I also suffer from chronic pain as do over 1.5 billion people in the world. I was, as a child, and am today, an extremely active person and somewhere between BMX crashes and 23 years of intense weight training I blew a disc in my neck at levels C5 and C6. In fact many clients that come into the club also suffer from pain. Yeah I know, I like to bring the pain during my training sessions, but in a good
way. I’m not talking about short-term muscle soreness that workouts can cause, but ongoing, daily pain. So what do you do when you suffer from chronic pain? Number one, do not succumb to inactivity! There most always is some sort of physical activity that you can do that is not going to exacerbate your pain. So don’t stay cooped up inside with your Vicodin, Ibuprofen or whatever it is you’re taking, Get moving and here’s why. When exercising, some say only at intense levels, I disagree, the body releases chemicals, which help your body tap into its own internal pain reliever, endorphins. Interesting fact that speaking with a stranger, public speaking or even eating a red hot chili pepper will do the same. Huh, that’s funny, I like to do all of those... Exercise is also going to get blood flowing and will help the body release toxins and cortisol. Secondly, when exercising know what you can and cannot do. This many times can be a system of trial and error, or you could also meet with a physical therapist and they could give you recommendations as well as one of my trainers at the club. Joey Davis-Scholl is one of the trainers that really does an outstanding job of working with injuries and getting people

back to living. I used to really love doing heavy squats and at 16 years old was able to squat 500 pounds holding the bar at the base of my neck. Guess what, not the best exercise to do when you have a herniated disc. Eliminate movements that cause you pain. I know, profound! “When I do this, it hurts.” “Don’t do that!” Lastly, focus on your Three R’s: Recovery, Rehab, and Relaxation. That is exactly what our dear friend Valerie was doing. Instead of just popping more pain meds, she chose to get a massage and relax the muscles that were causing her discomfort. Massage therapists are trained in many different modalities and techniques that really do make you feel better. If you are a chronic pain sufferer, or an extremely active person, there must be a spot in your life for the three R’s. Please check out my new website www. ramonastrainer.com for this week’s Workout of the Week video, “Partner Workout” and how you can get started on your path to you, only better! I can be reached at the club at 760-7893500.

The Sweet Smell of Egg Ranch Success
By REGINA ELLING If you happen to own an egg ranch, sometimes the sweetest smell of success is no smell at all. And that’s just the way Andrew Demler, assistant manager of the Pine Hill Egg Ranch, wants it. The ranch is on Highway 78 between Ramona and Ju-
lian, and is probably better known by the small building that sits along the road. Open daily, fresh eggs can be purchased by the dozen or in flats of 20 or 30 at the little shop. From nearby ranch owners to visitors from all over the county, many people simply love the idea of stopping in to

buy their eggs fresh from the chickens. While no one is complaining about the eggs, it’s the other product the birds produce—namely, the chicken manure and its accompanying smell—that sometimes garners complaints. The ranch has just invested “a large amount of money in a small piece of equipment” that should have pleasing results for its Ramona neighbors, said Demler. He is a third generation poultry farmer. His father, Kevin Demler, owns Pine Hill Egg Ranch, and learned much of the trade through his own father. Pine Hill has been producing and selling eggs since 1974 and is the fifth largest egg ranch in California. “We have about 1.3 million chickens, producing an average of 15,000 cases of eggs per week,” Demler says. “On a really good day, we produce one million eggs.” Naturally, the chickens have large appetites, and a correspondingly large amount of manure.
The chicken manure, or poop, doesn’t hang around the farm long. “We try to keep the manure here as little amount of time as possible,” said Demler. “We hardly have any stored here at all. Most of it leaves immediately.” That translates into roughly 20 truckloads of chicken waste a week, or 400 tons leaving the ranch as quickly as it can be loaded. All of the product becomes fertilizer for cropland. “Our new process involves a small 4-foot by 4-foot piece of equipment that turns the manure and helps with the decomposition process. By turning it more, it dries quicker and is easier to haul. We can now haul the fertilizer away in a few weeks rather than a few months,” he said. Egg and poultry ranches, by the way, are exempt from county regulations, and are not obligated to try to eliminate odors. “Even though we are legally exempt from odor complaints, we always strive to be good neighbors through bettering our farm

practices,” said Demler. “We want to be a good part of Ramona, and be here for years to come.” With the sizeable investment Demler has made into
the new equipment, it all translates into good news for nearby residents and guests. Now, a drive in the backcountry can bring both fresh air and fresh eggs.

Bulldogs earn eighth-place finish in Masters Meet By BILL TAMBURRINO Thirteen Bulldog grapplers competed in the first day of the Masters Meet at Otay Ranch High School and seven advanced to the second day of wrestling. Ramona placed eighth as a team at the Masters Meet to finish a stellar season that included a CIF team championship and two individual CIF champions. Only the top three wrestlers in each weight classification realize the dream of advancing to the State Meet at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield on Friday and Saturday. Senior 170-pounder Devin Rhodes realized that dream for the second con-
secutive year. Rhodes received a first round bye and then cruised into Day 2 by beating Ricardo Moriel of Mar Vista 9-0 and then beating Connor Anderson of La Costa Canyon 14-1. He entered Day 2 in the championship bracket. Rhodes opened the second day of competition facing Josh McFadden of Central Union for the third time this season. McFadden won a 5-0 decision. Rhodes had to battle back in the consolation bracket. He beat Nick Lucio of El Cajon 9-0 to earn a shot at third place and another trip to Bakersfield. Rhodes recorded a pin over Josh Herman of Gross-
mont in 3:09 to win a bronze medal. CIF champion Arturo Osorio-Ramirez (126) opened the day by winning an injury default over Carlos Flores of Escondido. Osorio-Ramirez then lost to Lanzie Osuna of Brawley by fall. He wrestled his way to the final day of matches by beating Travis Mishler by an 8-5 decision. Kevin Conroy (132) got a first round bye and then won a 17-8 decision over Juan Velarde of Monte Vista. He lost a decision to T.J. Grisafe of La Costa Canyon to go into the consolation bracket on day two. Conroy won one bout in the consolation bracket before losing to State Meet-bound Alexander Graves.
CIF champion Isaiah Ilich (138) started the day by recording a 15-0 technical fall over Jun Bae of Mt. Carmel after receiving a first round bye. He lost a decision to Cory Wood of Vista and entered the second day of the tourney in the consolation bracket. Ilich won one bout on Day 2 and lost to State Meet-bound Jesse Taylor. Kirk Kaliszewski (152) lost his opening bout by fall to Luke Maffett of Torrey Pines but advanced to the second day by beating Ryan Martinez of Point Loma 7-6. Noe Hernandez (182) opened the day with a pin over Francisco Solis of Otay Ranch in 1:39. He lost by fall in the second round to Brit Bastow of Poway and
then earned a berth in the consolation bracket on Day 2 by pinning Utah Mann of Valhalla in 3:40. Josh Allen (195) got a first round bye and then won a 6-2 decision over Jesse Godoy of San Ysidro. He lost to Guler of Brawley 15-2 and advanced to the second day in the consolation bracket. Six Bulldogs were eliminated on the first day. Vince Adair lost by decision to Chris Frank of Rancho Bernardo and then lost by fall to Thurman of Del Norte in the 106 class. Martin Dower (113) lost a decision to Max Zimet of La Costa Canyon and dropped a decision to Andrew Villanueva of Escondido.
Zach Lane lost to Mar Vista’s Jesse Terminal and to Helix’s Sami Popal in the 120-pound division. Troy Jordan lost by fall to Jacob Gonzales of Brawley and was eliminated by Albert Navarro of Hilltop in the 145 pound class. Zach Berg (220) opened by winning an 8-0 decision over Justin Trento of Mira Mesa. He then lost in the second round to Abdiel Mesa of West Hills and was eliminated by Victor Vizcarra of Calexico by 3-1 decision. Jureall Simmons (285) ended his varsity career by losing by fall to Miguel Moreno of Brawley and Mario Williams of Orange Glen.
Second quarter Serra scores only goal in CIF boys dooms Water Dawgs soccer playoff game against Ramona in CIF semifinal By JOE NAIMAN
By JOE NAIMAN During the first, third, and fourth quarters of the girls water polo playoff match at La Jolla High School’s Coggan Pool, Valhalla and Ramona each scored five goals. During the second period of the CIF Division II semifinal, Valhalla outscored the Bulldogs six goals to one. “Second period just completely destroyed us,” said Ramona Coach Donnie Williams. “That was the difference in the game.” Valhalla’s 11-6 victory advanced the top-seeded Norsemen into the CIF finals while ending the 2011-12 season for the fourth-seeded Bulldogs. Ramona’s final season record of 15-16 also includes a quarterfinal playoff win over La Costa Canyon and a 1-9 record in Palomar League play. The Bulldogs scored first in the playoff semifinal, although the Norsemen soon tied the game. Valhalla took a 3-2 lead with a goal in the final seconds of the first quarter. An early goal in the second period gave the Norsemen a 4-2 lead. “We kind of played back and forth,” Williams said. Valhalla took a 5-2 lead with 3:50 remaining in the second period and scored four more times before the halftime buzzer to enter the locker room with a 9-3 lead. Williams places the blame on himself, expressing that he should have slowed down the game when his team was struggling. Ramona’s starting lineup included only one senior. Bri Hogervorst helped guide her teammates during the halftime remarks. “Bri really got them fired up,” Williams said. See WATER POLO on page 36
The only goal in the CIF Division II playoff game Feb. 22 between the Ramona High School and Serra High School boys soccer teams was scored by Serra in the first three minutes of the game. “That was a very good team,” Ramona Coach Michael Jordan said of Serra. “Our boys just came out really kind of nervous and flat. It was disappointing.” Serra’s 1-0 home victory advanced the Conquistadors to the Feb. 25 quarterfinals against La Costa Canyon while ending Ramona’s season with a 1012-3 overall record and a 3-6-1 mark in Palomar League competition. The Bulldogs finished fifth in the Palomar League standings. Ramona goalie Jesse Bonilla made eight saves against Serra. Ramona also had nine shots during the game. “It was a back and forth game,” Jordan said. “We had quite a few opportunities there at the end,

throughout the game. We made some formation changes and we had some guys who were
making some offensive runs which created great opportunities, but just couldn’t get it done.”
Ramona’s 22-player roster included nine seniors, seven of whom were starters.

Senior girls look back on Bulldog basketball team family
The 2011-12 Lady Bulldog basketball team was a pleasure to cover and watch. The Lady Bulldogs personified what is good in high school sports. They played hard and they played as a team. They were unselfish. They handled adversity and they had fun. One could see that they enjoyed the game and enjoyed playing with their teammates. Originally this column was supposed to be about the new kid on the block, senior transfer Tiana Zuniga. Tiana transferred to RHS from Aztec, N.M. after playing three years on the Aztec High School varsity team. Moving to a new school for one’s senior year and season is a tough
move. “My main concern was that I didn’t have any friends,” she said. “That changed when I decided to attend Coach Reichner’s basketball camp. I met Paige Conroy on my way to the gym. We became instant friends. She introduced me to the rest of the team and Coach O’Connor. I felt at home right away. It was not that way in New Mexico. The team attitude here is like family and they treated me like a member right away.” When the four other seniors—Megan Buckley, Kim Whelehon, RaeAnne VanTol and Conroy— were asked separately how long it took them to accept Tiana as a teammate, they all responded with the same response. “Instantly.” Me-
gan added, “This team is a family.” RaeAnne added, “Right away, but we all came closer at the Coronado Tournament.” The five seniors also responded identically when asked what the best aspect of playing basketball at RHS was. Every one mentioned having great teammates, great coaches, and great support from their parents and the fans at RHS. Every young lady stated that she had great parental support on and off the court. Tiana: “My parents (Polly and Gary) have supported me and been my biggest fans.” Kim: “My parents (Dan and Pam) have always supported me with everything.” Paige: “My parents (Jim and Kelly) have never missed a game since third grade.” RaeAnne: “My parents (Judy and Tom) have encouraged and supported me through the years.” Megan: “My parents (Kevin and Shirley) have been my biggest support group in everything.”

player that I am and Coach O’Connor pushed me to be my best.” Tiana: “I would like to thank all three of the coaches for their time, patience and support.” Kim: “My coaches have been the best. Marshall has always pushed me because he knows my potential. Coach Kylee Harris helped me with my 3-point shots. Coach O’Connor and Coach Spooner are very approachable and always helped me on and off of the court. They are all great and nice.” Paige: “Coach Marshall was the greatest coach I have ever had and he taught me all of the most important things about the game. When he retired I never thought basketball would be the same, but Coach O’Connor has become just as great as him.” RaeAnne: “Coach O’Connor pushed me to become the best player that I could be. I couldn’t ask for a better coach. Coach Spooner is awesome. Coach Harris is a great coach. I had so much fun playing on her team. Coach Marshall is an amazing coach. He is a great supporter and mentor. Coach Scheib relates everything to math and helped me with my post play.” They also mentioned
some of the coaches’ unique qualities. “With Scheib, everything is related to math.” “Coach O’Connor laughs about anything.” “Coach Spooner only laughs at things that are actually funny. And she thinks we are the funniest people she has ever met.” “Coach Scheib is a goofball that knows how to lighten the mood. He is the funniest coach ever.” Megan, Kim, RaeAnne and Paige have all been on the RHS varsity for three seasons. Tiana joined them this season. They plan on keeping in touch via the social media and visits home from college. All five are going on to college. Kim will be busy playing softball at Southern Arkansas University. RaeAnne, Tiana, Paige and Megan would like to play intramurals or rec ball. Kim, Megan, Paige, RaeAnne and Tiana are graduating seniors, but they will be teammates for life. They have worked hard, played hard, overcame adversity, and enjoyed playing basketball at RHS. They played the game the way it is supposed to be played. The credit for that has to go to their coaches, past and present. They are all ladies and have shown others that female athletes can compete and be ladies.

Season ends for girls basketball at CIF By BILL TAMBURRINO Coach Erin O’Connor’s Ramona High School girls basketball team was eliminated from the CIF Division II playoffs by Bonita Vista High School. The Lady Dawgs traveled to Bonita Vista on Wednesday and lost what their coaches describe as a hard fought 44-31 defensive battle. The game was close until the final two minutes. The first quarter was a physical defensive battle and Ramona led 6-5 after eight minutes. The second quarter was more of the same as both offenses got off more shots and Bonita Vista took a 16-15 halftime advantage. The Barons used a fullcourt press defense for the entire second half, and the major difference in the game was the Barons forced 27 turnovers. Ramona’s defense forced 10 Baron turnovers. Bonita Vista led 28-26 going into the final period. The Barons scored 6 straight points to take control of the game. The Lady
Dawgs fought back and got to within 3 points with less than three minutes to play, but Ramona had to foul the Barons to stop the clock. Bonita Vista converted on its free throw attempts, and the Barons held on for the win and will advance to the quarter final round. The Barons’ defense stifled the Lady Bulldog offense and held all but one Lady Bulldog to under her season average. Kim Whelehon led all scorers with 19 points. The senior wing player hit a game high five 3-point goals and played outstanding defense. RaeAnne VanTol was held to 2 points but grabbed a game high 14 rebounds and two steals. The Baron defense doubled and tripled VanTol on every position after they fell back from their press. Paige Conroy and Tiana Zuniga, both senior guards, grabbed six boards apiece and had one steal apiece. Zuniga scored 4 points. Megan Buckley scored 4 points, grabbed three rebounds and played well on

defense. Katherine Mauldin came off the bench to grab four rebounds and score 2 points. O’Connor was upbeat after the game. “This team was a lot of fun to coach,” the coach
said. “They came together as a team and were unselfish. These seniors have been an excellent example. They have worked hard, played well and displayed excellent sportsmanship and leadership.”

“Why?” That’s the usual response when I mention that I am training to run an ultramarathon or, more specifically, a 50-mile race by age 50. The question usually comes with a pause, a narrowing of the eyes, a furrowing of the brow, and is often followed by “What’re ya, crazy?” When not said, I’m sure it’s implied. It really is a fair question, one that I often ask myself before I set out on a training run. See it’s not that I love running. My 14-yearold son Matthew, a freshman on the Ramona High School cross country team, surmised that “No one loves running. They love finishing.” While there’s probably a lot of truth in that, I imagine there are many who actually LOVE running. I fall somewhere in-between. I definitely don’t like getting started. It seems to take about two miles to get warmed up, for the breathing to calm, and to fall into a smooth stride. At this point, running is “not bad.” A little further and I actually start to enjoy the run. What surprises me is that about 30 minutes after the run, especially longer runs, I can’t wait to get to the next run. Maybe my son is right. Maybe it’s that it felt so darned good
to finish that I can’t wait to experience it again. That still doesn’t answer the question, “Why run an ultra? Why 50 miles?” The answer I believe lies in a common desire of many people to discover the outer limits of their potential. In “A Step Beyond: A Definitive Guide to Ultrarunning” (edited by Don Allison, 1994), Bernd Heinrich writes, “The person on the street, without trying, has no real concept of how hard it is to prepare for and run an ultramarathon…neither do they have a concept of what is possible.” Don Allison adds, “The fact that ultramarathons are so difficult is exactly the draw. The possibility that an individual will not be able to complete the event—or will have to reach down the very depths of their physical, emotional, and spiritual reserves to do so—is just the element of challenge and competition that many athletes are seeking as we begin the new millennium.” Fact is, I don’t know how difficult it is. But Allison’s right, that is the draw. But I agree that it is well within the potential of anyone willing to put in the training, and put up with the discomSee TRAINING on page 39

Ramona Jiu Jitsu Team earns another first
Athlete OF THE WEEK
Devin Rhodes earns his second trip to wrestling State Meet in Bakersfield By BILL TAMBURRINO
tlers were in Rhode’s weight class: Poway’s Connor King, who won the Masters Meet, and Central Union’s Josh McFadden, who finished second. King was ranked second in the state early in the year and was ranked fifth last week. McFadden, who beat King in a tournament, was ranked third last week. Rhodes has achieved a stellar 49-8 record this season and five of his losses came at the hands of King (2) and McFadden (3). He knew that making it to the State Meet for the second time would be a tough task. “Some wrestlers in my class (170) moved down and some moved up. I considered moving down to 160 but I felt stronger at 170 so I decided to stay at that weight,” he said. Rhodes opened the second day of competition facing McFadden for the third time this season. McFadden won a 5-0 decision. Rhodes had to battle back in the consolation bracket. He beat Nick Lucio
Few travelers have a primary goal of making a trip to Bakersfield, Calif. For high school wrestlers, however, Bakersfield is the goal of every athlete who pulls on a singlet. Devin Rhodes made the trip to Bakersfield last year with four other Bulldog wrestlers and wanted a return engagement this year. The road there was not an easy one. Rhodes had a tough struggle and had to overcome adversity, but he battled in the Masters Meet last week to earn his second trip to the State Wrestling Meet in Bakersfield. Rhodes (170) received a first-round bye and then cruised into Day 2 by beating Ricardo Moriel of Mar Vista 9-0 and then beating Connor Anderson of La Costa Canyon 14-1. He entered Day 2 in the championship bracket. Rhodes knew that Day 2 would be a challenge. Two of the state’s top ranked wres-

of El Cajon 9-0 to earn a shot at third place and another trip to Bakersfield. Rhodes recorded a pin over Josh Herman of Grossmont in 3:09 to win a bronze medal and a trip to the State Meet this week. When asked if making it to the State Meet twice was the fondest memory of his high school career, Rhodes had a surprising answer. “Being a member of the CIF team championship last week was a much bigger thrill. It was a team accomplishment and we have worked and wrestled as a team all year. We were young at the beginning of the season, but we worked hard and matured into a CIF championship.” Coach Steve Koch had words of praise for his team captain. “Devin is a quiet, even-keeled leader. He never gets too high or too low. He has been an excellent captain and leader. His leadership was a major factor in our young team maturing into a CIF champion.”

By BRIAN MENDOZA Jiu Jitsu schools from all over Southern California were represented in the recent SoCal Gi Championships. The Ramona Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition team fought hard and took first overall for the Kids and Teens division. In another brilliant performance by all of the competitors, the RBJJ team represented Ramona with authority, said the team’s coach, Kevin Hosseini. The RBJJ competitors that placed in the top three of their division are: •Michael Populin, 2nd; •Alexis Sherman, 3rd; •Ian Alexander, 2nd; •Cody Crist, 3rd; •Jordan Massie, 3rd; •Jesse Deaver, 1st; •Pabel Valadez, 2nd; •Kilian Brandon, 1st; •James Proctor, 2nd; •Jose Valadez, 1st; •Eli Bennett, 2nd; and •Harryson Franz, 1st. Each team member’s performance contributed to the first place finish. “I am very proud of their work today, said Hosseini. “There were schools from all over Southern California and each had a lot of talent. We earned this first place finish.”

Michael Populin works for an armbar submission during Ramona Brazilian Jiu Jitsu’s participation in the So-Cal Gi Championships.
A Jiu Jitsu tournament is full contact grappling in which each competitor is fighting for dominance and submissions. The fighters start from a standing position and use techniques to take their opponent to the ground. On the ground, the fighter then uses leverage and proper technique to gain position to work toward joint-locks and chokeholds to force the opponent to submit by tapping out. Fighters are also awarded points for gaining a dominant position or reversing a fight to their advantage. Jiu Jitsu tournaments are not based on sparring or choreographed patterns of movements. Spar-
ring—also referred to as “rolling”—is a live drill reserved for class. During a tournament, the fighters engage in full contact grappling. The competition team is composed of a select few from the Ramona Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy who choose to compete. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that focuses mainly on ground fighting and maintaining a dominant position until eventually submitting the opponent. Through training and application, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu allows a smaller, weaker person to defend and even dominate significantly bigger and stronger opponents.

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 the 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. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 11-540711. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

by 178 governments, including the U.S. Selck called the summit “flagrant socialism” and expressed concerns to Jacob that local planning groups, which he called the “soul of citizen government,” could approve a project, unaware that it could have a socialist agenda. Jacob sought to reassure residents that the county’s General Plan Update, which establishes future growth and land use development for unincorporated areas, had nothing to do with the UN plan for sustainable development. The county updated its General Plan because of lawsuits, she said, and impacts from environmental acts, beginning with the Federal Endangered Species Act’s listing of the California gnatcatcher in the 1990s. When that happened, Jacob said, the feds stopped development. “There was basically a moratorium on all projects,” she said. The county’s Multiple
Species Conservation Program evolved from that, Jacob added, to balance the environment with development. Since then, Jacob said, the list of environmental regulations has grown. “The Rio agenda comes through in the federal (environmental) acts that were done,” said Selck. Another resident said a goal of Agenda 21 is to eventually close open spaces to the public. Jacob responded by saying that is not what the county is doing and she supports trails through the Ramona Grasslands Preserve. The county and The Nature Conservancy established the grasslands preserve, about 3,500 acres of open space, to protect multiple species and habitat. The only public access is a four-mile trail that the county opened last year off Highland Valley Road. Jacob noted that the county has plans for more public trails but some people are opposed.

Other items discussed at the coffee: Planning Groups Resident Sharon Lynch said she was concerned about the county’s Red Tape Reduction Task Force’s recommendation to eliminate or reduce the scope of community planning groups. “We citizens depend on our local planning groups. It’s our first line of defense,” Lynch said. “I have been and always will be a strong supporter of our community planning groups as they are today,” said Jacob. “To me your local planning group is your grassroots government.” Jacob said the county supervisors will be voting on recommendations for planning groups at their March 28 meeting. Of the five supervisors, Jacob said she and Supervisor Pam Slater-Price support planning groups, two supervisors are opposed and one is undecided. Jacob said she expects a showdown on March 28. 13th Street bridge Ramona Community

County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, right, listens as residents introduce themselves at her “Coffee with the Constituents” in the Barnett Barn at the Guy B. Woodward Museum last Thursday.
Planning Group Chair Jim Piva said the county has secured 100 percent federal funding to construct a bridge on 13th street over the Santa Maria creekbed. Details will be provided at the planning group’s meeting on March 1, starting at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Library Community Room, he said. 67 and Highland Valley/ Dye Road intersection Jacob said she, Piva and and Ramona Community Planning Group Secretary
Kristi Mansolf met with San Diego Association of Governments on funding for a project report on state Route 67 and Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection improvements. “We’re keeping our fingers crossed that we may have some good news on that project,” Jacob said. Fire topics In response to questions about Intermountain Fire and Rescue Department, Jacob said the volunteer fire district has had finan-
cial problems, but she added that Intermountain is in the County Fire Authority, which is investing in volunteer fire stations. Jacob also mentioned the new state law that imposes a fire fee on habitable structures in state responsibility areas (SRAs) which cover much of Ramona. Property owners won’t be seeing a bill soon, she said, because the state Board of Forestry is still defining habitable structures. The county government is fighting the fee.

“Those girls stepped it up.” The starters also included two juniors and four sophomores. Each team scored twice in the third quarter, and Ramona scored the fourth period’s only goal. Hogervorst scored all six of the Bulldogs’ goals and also had one steal. Sophomore Jocelyn Schwegler had two assists while junior Rachel Hogervorst and sophomores Holly Smith, Cassie Bernas, and Paulina Bernd contributed one assist apiece. Bernd and junior goalie Tiffany Larson led the team with two steals apiece, and although Larson allowed eleven goals she also made 15 saves. “We didn’t short-change ourselves either for shots,” said Williams, whose team took 23 shots on cage including the six which went into the net. “We had our opportunities,” Williams said. “I thought the girls did a good job with that.” The bad second quarter didn’t erase the reality that Ramona played the top-seeded team even for three periods. “I thought we could go to the final game depending on how things played out,” Williams said. “I’m proud of these girls because I know they had that kind of talent. It’s a great season; it really is.”

Snow birds: Wintering at the Good Life
both prestigious honors. Rajotte said he knew of McClelland as a politician in Alberta but did not know him personally until their paths crossed at The Good Life. The two Canadians discovered a connection, as Rajotte’s nephew, James Rajotte, worked as executive assistant for McClelland and now serves in his former Parliament seat. McClelland, a businessman, became involved in Canadian politics in the mid-1980s. “A group of us felt it was important, it was necessary to live within our means,” he said. “It evolved to become the Reform Party of Canada.” In 1993 McClelland was elected to Parliament, and in his second term he served as deputy speaker of the House of Commons. After two years in office, the Reform Party became the opposition party, he said, and 10 years later became the Conservative Party of Canada and led the country’s government.
After two terms in Parliament, McClelland left federal politics to contribute to the province of Alberta, where he served a term in the Alberta Legislature. He shared some of his thoughts on similarities and differences between the U.S. and Canada. The two countries, he said, share common values and a kinship. “I would think as that of a family. We may squabble, but God help anyone who comes between us,” McClelland said. He noted that Canadian campaign finance laws are different from the U.S. because they are tightly controlled, making it easier for citizen politicians to run for office. McClelland and his wife, Diane Rieder, a Minnesota-born U.S, citizen, are spending their seventh winter at The Good Life and will return to Edmonton by early March. It was at their timeshare in Del Mar where they learned about The Good Life from others win-

tering in the San Diego area. Rajotte and his wife, Gloria, also learned about The Good Life through word of mouth and are spending their 10th year here. Both couples began by buying one or two weeks at the timeshare and added weeks to lengthen their stays. They drive from Edmonton to Ramona, which McClelland said takes three or four days, depending on weather. The men are avid golfers and thoroughly enjoy San Vicente Golf Course. McClelland and his wife spend time sightseeing in the San Diego area and even attended a Ramona High School football game. Rajotte works remotely by email and conference calls and finds time to fly remote-controlled airplanes with a group based in Lakeside. His wife quilts and visits the area quilting stores. “I find it’s just an ideal place to come for the winter,” said Rajotte. “It’s sort of the best-kept secret.”

Heres the Deal
Some of my fondest memories are just little moments that lighten my day and give me new perspective. My oldest granddaughter at around age five, became a girl scout. So my five year old granddaughter in her daisy uniform comes into my office in an authoritarian manner and says “sit down at your desk grandpa” and she started her pitch. “Now here’s the deal, Grandpa, I’m supposed to sell these boxes of cookies and the more I sell, the better prize I get. It’s called an incentive program.” Incentive program? She was five. They sure teach business early now, I thought. Although she may not have been able to spell incentive yet, she sure had a grasp of the concept and she was very straight forward (and I bought a lot of cookies my favorite are the Samoas with the coconut and chocolate). For straight answers about your septic system, ask the professionals at Sludgebusters. You may not always like the answers but we don’t prevaricate (make it up) even to the point of occasionally answering “I don’t know” Remember, “if you stretch the truth, too far, it will break.

fort that will most certainly come with running such distances. Speaking of training, this past weekend my three boys and I ran the 6.5-mile Iron Mountain trail for the first time. The trail is extremely popular with local hikers, many with kids and dogs. It is quite steep and rocky, requiring walking in many places, especially to maneuver around groups of hikers, but if you like running trails, this makes a great, challenging run. Just keep the speed under control coming back down from the peak as there are many places where it would be easy to trip and take a very painful fall. Now get out and run.
