A fact-finding report many had hoped would resolve differences between Ramona teachers and the school district hasn’t. The report, scheduled to be released to the public at the trustees’ meeting Tuesday, April 16, has been on the Ramona Teachers Association website since last week. Also on the RTA website at ramonateachers.com is a dissenting report from the California Teachers Association member representing RTA on the fact-finding panel.
Gary Thomas pleads guilty to murder, faces 26 years By NEAL PUTNAM The Ramona man who brutally killed Jean Eskridge with a hammer while she was asleep pleaded guilty Monday to first-degree murder and was told he would have to serve at least 26 years before he could be eligible for parole.
Wearing blue jail clothes and speaking softly, Gary Allen Thomas, 64, admitted he used a deadly weapon to kill Eskridge, 94, on May 1, 2012, in her mobile home in the Ramona Terrace Estates. Thomas withdrew his earlier insanity plea before El Cajon Superior Court Judge Allan Preckel, who set
sentencing for June 26. Thomas remains in the Vista Detention Facility without bail. Preckel told Thomas he must serve “26 actual years” before he could be considered for parole and that it was likely he would die in prison. ThomSee GARY THOMAS page 16
Teachers planned to rally in front of district offices before the Tuesday school board meeting after negotiations on Monday failed. “The chairperson of the fact finding panel looking into the financial condition of the Ramona Unified School District has reported the district’s ability to continue to pay salaries, health and welfare benefits of teachers and other district employees is ‘not sustainable,’” Superintendent Robert Graeff said. The district and teachers union participated in a fact-finding hearing overseen by the state Public Employment Relations Board in late February after about 18 months of negotiations failed. Salaries and benefits are at the heart of the controversy. Both sides presented their positions to the threemember panel comprised of a district representative, an RTA representative, and an impartial chair. After reSee NEGOTIATIONS, page16

Celebration of life Sunday for teen who dies after softball hits him By MAUREEN ROBERTSON A celebration of life will be held Sunday, April 21, at 1 p.m. in Dos Picos Park for Taylor Dorman, Ramona High School sophomore who died April 10 after a softball hit him in the chest during a morning physical education class. It was his 16th birthday. “Taylor left us far too soon,” states a flyer announcing the Tay-
lor Dorman Memorial Fund at Bank of Southern California, 1315 Main St. Donations to assist his family may be made at the bank in his mother’s name, Susan
Kohler. Taylor was playing over-the-line, a game similar to softball, with classmates when he was accidentally struck in the chest with the ball about 11:20 a.m., the county medical examiner’s office reports. “There was a line drive hit off the bat of another student, said Ramona High School Principal Tony Newman. The hit caused complications, Newman said, and
about 20 minutes later he collapsed. Prior to his collapse, Taylor appeared fine and even joked about the hit, school officials said. According to the medical examiner’s report, Taylor developed shortness of breath, then became unresponsive and had seizuretype activity. Sheriff’s deputies and See CELEBRATION OF LIFE page 16

WHO’S COUNTING?—Add another two names to the list of administrative retirees and resignations at Ramona Unified: Phyllis Munoz, Ramona Elementary principal, and Anne Staffieri, assistant superintendent of human resources. Superintendent Robert Graeff made the announcement of Munoz’s retirement on April 10, and Staffieri’s name is on Escondido Union High School District’s April 16 agenda as a “new hire” with the same title — assistant superintendent, human resources. Word of Munoz’s retirement and Staffieri’s pending resignation, effective at the end of the school year, follows the resignation of former Assistant Superintendent of Education Services Cathy Pierce, who left the district to accept the superintendent’s post in Santee, and retirement announcements from Olive Pierce Middle School Principal Linda Solis and Ramona Community School Principal Carol Tennebaum. Trustees have announced that James Dukes Elementary Principal Pauline Leavitt, former OPMS vice principal, will be the middle school’s principal effective July 1, leaving the James Dukes post open. Considering the district’s tenuous budget situation and discord with teachers, one could assume some are abandoning ship. Not so, says Bob Stoody, school board president. Three are retiring after lengthy careers in education: Solis started her education career in 1969, Tennebaum’s been teaching in Ramona 35 years, and Munoz has been an educator for 35 years. Pierce and Staffieri? “We have really good people here,” said Stoody. “People from other districts are saying, hey, we want your people, and they’re willing to pay for it.” Pierce’s move was an advancement to superintendent,
and Staffieri’s puts her closer to her home and family in Temecula, he said, explaining why both changes make sense to him. Many in the district speculate that Ramona High School Principal Tony Newman also will be leaving at the end of the school year — to move into the assistant superintendent of human resources post in the district office. Trustees in November opted not to replace Pierce, dividing her duties between Graeff, who had the job before being promoted to superintendent, and Pat Ravin, interim director of assessment and categorical programs. Trustees also decided not to fill Ravin’s previous job as teacher-on-assignment. END OF WRESTLING ERA—After 22 years as Ramona High School’s head wrestling coach, Steve Koch is turning in his keys. The 1979 Ramona High graduate teaches history and critical issues at the school. He was Teacher of the Year in 2001 and State Coach of the Year in 2004. His wrestling teams also have been winners. This year’s Bulldog wrestlers ended the season as Valley League champs. With Koch as head coach, RHS has had 32 wrestlers qualify for state meets, 50 individual CIF champions, four CIF team championships, 10 CIF team runners-up, eight league championships, four County Team Academic Championships, and two State Team Academic Runners-Up honors. “All team accomplishments were a result of a committed coaching staff and hundreds of dedicated studentathletes and their families and friends, who worked very hard to represent Ramona High School and the community of Ramona,” Koch said. “Personally, it was the tremendous support of my family which enabled me to be a part of this outstanding program for 22 years. Without them, none of this would have been possible for me, and for that, and to them, I am eternally grateful.” Most importantly, RHS wrestling is not about one person, Koch said, emphasizing the “not.” “It is about a large number of individuals committed to being a part
of something special, people who are willing to work harder than most, and in the process carry on the lessons and discipline developed on the mats throughout the rest of their lives.” The coach in him added, “From the victories came greatness, and from the losses, life’s lessons.” Being head coach for 22 years no doubt took its toll. Koch, who will continue teaching at RHS, has faith in his replacement, saying, “We have a great young coach, Duayne Guile, who is deserving of becoming the head coach.” Koch may no longer be head coach, but he’ll be at the matches. His youngest son, Austin, is a varsity wrestler and Koch says he’d “like to spend more time watching him.” The community wishes him well in his “retirement.” GAME ON!—That’s the theme of the 2013 San Diego County Fair, scheduled from June 8 through July 4 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. This year’s fair will spotlight classic and nostalgic games many of us grew up with and will show how games have evolved over the years. Ramona Day at the fair will be Saturday, June 29. Ramona Chamber of Commerce invites businesses in its organization to help promote the town as well as their business that day. Amber Ramirez, chamber first vice president and Farmers Insurance/Ramirez Agency, is coordinating the chamber’s efforts. She’ll know more after an orientation meeting with county fair officials. Booths for Ramona businesses will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. They can showcase and celebrate the community by selling crafts, glassware, or novelty items that promote Ramona and let the public know about the town. Promotional materials, demonstrations, flyers, coupons, and free samples are allowed at the booths. Participation is free, and the booths will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. After that, head out and enjoy the rest of the fair.

Ramona crime rate spikes in 2012, report shows By KAREN BRAINARD The 2012 crime statistics report released last week by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) showed Ramona had an increase in crime, but according to the sheriff’s station, the numbers have already decreased for 2013. “Our burglary rates are dramatically diminished,” Lt. James Bovet of the Ramona sheriff’s station said about residential and commercial burglaries for the first quarter of 2013. Bovet said he couldn’t release any official figures but other areas of crime that have dropped this year are homicide, rape, robbery, assault, thefts from vehicle, larceny theft, and sex crimes. On the rise are drug crimes, driving under the influence (DUI) arrests, and vehicle thefts, he said. The SANDAG report showed a 26 percent increase in property crimes in Ramona in 2012 over
the previous year, with 590 cases reported in 2012 compared to 467 in 2011. Bovet attributes much of the property crime to drug users who steal to support their habit. “Ramona’s biggest problem is drug addiction,” he said. By focusing on heroin users, Bovet said the sheriff’s department was able to break up several burglary rings. The number of residential and non-residential burglaries jumped from 135 in 2011 to 216 in 2012. Bovet noted that the Ramona station solved a series of hot prowl burglaries last year and many commercial burglaries, and uncovered property that was never reported stolen. The lieutenant also said his department has focused on criminal offenders on probation by repeatedly conducting probation searches, and “eight times out of 10” finds new crimes.
The SANDAG report showed violent crimes, which include homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, going up 38 percent in Ramona, with 109 cases reported in 2012 versus 79 in 2011. Bovet said two-thirds of the cases are usually between people who know each other. “It’s not random violent crime,” he said, adding that there has been an occasional battery at a bar or strong arm robbery. Last year also saw three homicides in Ramona compared to none in 2011, and one each in 2010 and 2009. Robberies were down slightly with 19 reported last year, two less than the previous year. Six rape cases were reported, the same number as in 2011, down from nine cases recorded in 2010 and in 2009. Motor vehicle thefts have averaged about 52 per year over the past five years with the exception of 2010, when 81 were reported.
Looking at the crime rate by population, Bovet said Ramona still looks good. There were 16.37 property crimes per 1,000 people compared to several cities in the county that had over 20 property crimes per 1,000. Violent crimes
accounted for 3.02 per 1,000, which was less than in Lakeside, Spring Valley, and Valley Center. “Ramona is still a very safe place to live. Just had a spike last year,” said Bovet. For the San Diego re-
gion, the SANDAG report showed that last year violent crime increased for the first time since 2001, and property crime rose for the first time since 2003, but the numbers are still among the lowest in the past 30 years.

Ramona man finishes Boston Marathon before explosions According to the Boston Athletic Association’s website, one Ramonan, Steven Tally, participated in the 2013 Boston Marathon on April 15, finished the race about 1-1/2 hours before two explosions ripped through the finish line. Tally, 52, finished the race around 1:17
p.m. News reports say the explosions, just before 3 p.m., killed at least three people and injured about 176. The Boston Athletic Association website showed no other entrants from Ramona, but it lists four participants from Poway, one from Lakeside, and six from Escondido.
Jackrabbit starts stress the engine, transmission, and differential. Riding the brake pedal, or consistently stopping at the last instant, damages the brakes. Shifting from “Reverse” to a forward gear while the car is still moving backward can harm the transmission. And hitting potholes causes suspension and tire damage and ruins wheel alignment. Do as the race car drivers do, pretend there is a egg under the gas pedal and DO NOT break the egg, in other words be very smooth, you will be very surprised how much these tips will help your gas mileage and vehicle repairs will go down.

Four sheriff’s deputies tried to “chase the bird down” to no avail, said Ceroli. “Everyone’s failed to capture the turkey. He’s all by himself.

Another condominium resident will help her pinpoint where the bird is roosting at night, she said. “We’re a bunch of diehards,” she said of Emergency Animal Rescue volunteers. “We’re going to get it.” The organization, headquartered in Ramona, operated totally on donations, she said, noting that the volunteers hold fundraisers such as cooking at horse shows in the two equestrian centers in the Estates.

Former IRS agent gets 23 years, 10 months for fraud, murder-for-hire plot By NEAL PUTNAM Steven Martinez, a Ramona tax preparer and CPA, was sentenced April 12 in a packed courtroom to 23 years and 10 months in federal prison for fraud and witness tampering that involved an unsuccessful murder for hire plot. Wearing a tan uniform that said “inmate” on the back, Martinez, 51, stood before U.S. District Court Judge William Hayes who imposed the 286-month sentence as his wife, sister, and 22 other friends sat in the audience in the new federal courthouse in San Diego. Hayes ordered Martinez to pay approximately $11 million to his former clients whom he defrauded by preparing bogus tax returns and taking checks that were meant for the Internal Revenue Service. The prosecutor said Martinez used the funds to pay for things like a “well designed” $700,000 pool and hot tubs at his house, and “lavish Super Bowl parties.” Hayes also ordered Martinez to pay several million dollars to the IRS and the state Franchise Tax Board. His total restitution is $14.5 million. Martinez is a former IRS agent. Martinez has been in jail since his February 2012 arrest after the FBI investigated the murder-for-hire plot. No one was harmed as the FBI arrested Martinez and his limo driver before anything could be carried out. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Orabona asked for a 29-year sentence while
Martinez’s attorney, David Demergian, asked for a 10-year term. Orabona remarked that his office offered a 10-year sentence on the mail and tax fraud charges back in 2011 if Martinez pleaded guilty before the murder-for-hire plot occurred. The financial charges Martinez pleaded guilty to in August 2012 were mail and Social Security fraud, aggravated identity theft, money laundering, and making false tax returns. He also pleaded guilty to using a telephone in a murder-for-hire plot, four counts of witness tampering, and soliciting a crime of violence. Orabona said there was only one victim at the sentencing as “the others are scared to death because someone hired a hit man to kill them.” He said Martinez knew the routines of the four people he wanted killed and gave a wouldbe hit man those details with their photos and pictures of their residences. The would-be hit man contacted authorities and the FBI arranged for one meeting between Martinez and him to be videotaped. These victims were former clients but none of them lived in Ramona. Greed was the motivation, said Orabona, and the hiring of a hit man “was not a spur of the moment plan.” Martinez told the hit man he should use two different pistols and recommended a silencer, said the prosecutor. Hayes agreed with the prosecutor the hiring of the hit man “was not an impulsive situation.”
College student receives minor injuries after car drifts off 78 A 21-year-old Ramona woman received minor injuries when her car drifted off State Route 78, east of Weekend Villa Road, as she was on her way to Palomar College Friday morning, reported California Highway Patrol. The college student failed to maintain control of her 1999 Toyota Camry when it drifted off the right side of Route 78, and the car struck a sign, light pole, and fence, said CHP Public Information Officer Brian Pennings, The victim had lacerations and abrasions, and was transported by ambulance to Palomar Medical Center where she was treated and released, Pennings said. The reason the car went off the road was unknown, but drugs or alcohol were not considered factors, said the CHP officer.
The judge called it “pretty cold blooded...The fraud case went on for a number of years,” said Hayes, who added the fraud was “aggravated” because “he had trust of his clients.” Martinez and his attorney tried to convince the judge the supposed murder plot was the result of a personality disorder in which Martinez didn’t have the ability to understand consequences. Demergian told the judge Martinez paid
$100,000 in medical costs in 2004 after his young son was diagnosed with autism. Martinez needed more money to pay for ongoing care and the fraud began, he said. Years later, Martinez “tried to make it right and sat down with the victims to tell them what he had done,” said Demergian, who noted that was “against my advice.” Demergian said the murder-for-hire plot was
never taken seriously and Martinez knew the man would not go through with it. Martinez didn’t have the $100,000 needed to pay the hit man despite his statements, he said. “I am terrified at this moment,” began Martinez, who added he has taken full responsibility for his crimes. He apologized to his victims, reading many names, and said he would repay them. “I am very appalled for
what I’ve done. I’m truly sorry. Please forgive me,” said Martinez. He apologized to the limo driver to whom he gave money to give to the hit man. Federal agents found $42,400 in cash in a cereal box in the man's kitchen. Cynthia Martinez, his wife of 12 years, told the judge these “acts are completely out of character for him.” The judge said he received numerous letters on behalf of Martinez.

Supervisors approve $56,582 for three Ramona projects Community Center, Ramona Chargers, Boys and Girls Club are grant recipients By JOE NAIMAN Ramona received some good news last week. San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved three requests for money. One is $25,436 in federal money administered by the county for new kitchen flooring in the Ramona Community Center, and two are from the Neighborhood Reinvestment Program budget in Supervisor Dianne Jacob’s district, which includes Ramona: $24,000 to the American Youth Football League’s Ramona Chargers and $7,146 to the Ramona Branch of the Boys and
Girls Club of Greater San Diego. The Ramona Chargers organization plans to buy helmets and uniforms with its money, and the youth club plans to install landscaping and railings at its clubhouse in Collier Park. Money for the kitchen flooring will come from a 2013-14 federal Community Development Block Grant. It is one of 16 projects supervisors approved for the unincorporated area for a total of $1.6 million. CDBG projects are intended to revitalize lowerincome neighborhoods. Criteria include benefit to lower-income residents, health and safety considerations, the ability to leverage block grant funds into additional revenue, and availability of alternate funding sources.
Ramona Municipal Water District owns the Ramona Community Center, which houses the Ramona Senior Center, operated through a lease agreement with the Ramona Parks and Recreation Association. Senior citizens use the center for weekday lunches and other activities. CDBG money will pay for the majority of kitchen floor replacement costs, which is considered commensurate with senior citizen use of that part of the building. Ramona water district will provide $9,900. Of the federal money allocated to the project, $4,466 will go to the county: $3,255 for county Department of General Services management costs and $1,211, for county Department of
Housing and Community Development oversight. The kitchen floor replacement has an estimated completion date of June 2014. Two other Ramona requests, one for $162,965 to repair the Ramona Rodeo Grounds bleachers and one for $56,000 to convert an underutilized tennis court at Collier Park into an outdoor basketball court, were deemed ineligible due to the lack of a low-income benefit. A request for Community Emergency Response Team operating equipment to benefit emergency response efforts was deemed ineligible since the purchase of the equipment is not within allowable CDBG program guidelines. A $30,000 request to
fund disaster education, emergency radios, and preparedness kits for migrant farm workers was determined to be ineligible because a national CDBG objective cannot be confirmed and there is no ability to monitor program efforts and clientele, according to a county report. The Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grants money to nonprofit organizations for public purposes at the regional and community levels. In addition to non-profit organizations, county supervisors can fund schools and fire departments, and supervisors can also use money from their budgets to supplement other county funding for specific county projects such as parks, roads, and libraries. Each county supervisor
recommends the allocation of his or her Neighborhood Reinvestment Program budget, and the allocations must be approved by a majority of the board. The American Youth Football League, which includes a cheer program as well as structured football competition and practice, has 140 youth players registered for next season. Ramona Boys and Girls Club utilizes professional staff to work with youth between the ages of 5 and 18. The Ramona branch has approximately 650 members along with about 750 non-member youths, and in 2012 it served 15,040 afternoon snacks to youngsters. The railings will be for walkways and ramps at the side and rear of the clubhouse.
Lawmaker proposes replacing fire tax with insurance tax By KAREN BRAINARD A state lawmaker has introduced a bill to repeal the $150 annual rural fire fee that many Ramonans paid last year and to replace it with a surcharge on property insurance bills paid by Californians across the state. Instead of raising about $85 million for fire prevention, the new legislation is aimed at generating $480 million for disaster planning and response. “In typical fashion, the majority party recognizes they passed a bad idea that unfairly taxes people in the rural areas. Instead of repealing that unfair tax, we are going to raise taxes across-the-board to do what the general fund is supposed to do,” stated Assemblyman Brian Jones of Santee, a Republican representing the 71st Assembly District, which includes Ramona. Jones opposed the fire prevention fee, signed into law in July 2011, and is
against this new measure. The rural fire fee charges property owners in state responsibility areas (SRAs) protected by Cal Fire $150 per habitable structure. Statewide the fee was estimated to generate about $85 million per year to fund fire prevention. The fee affected about 73,000 homes in San Diego County and approximately 11,000 structures in the Ramona area. Assembly Bill 468 calls for adding a 4.8 percent surcharge on property insurance bills with revenue raised going into a state Disaster Management, Preparedness, and Assistance Fund. Assemblyman Wes Chesbro (D-North Coast) who authored the bill, said that, based on an average residential surcharge of $48 per policy, the state would collect an estimated $480 million per year. “This new fund would pay for disaster planning, response training and equipSee PROPERTY INSURANCE TAX, page 11

SR-67 accidents send two victims to hospitals Two accidents on State Route 67 Monday resulted in patients being transported to area hospitals. Ramona Fire Department/ Cal Fire transported a man complaining of neck pain to Pomerado Hospital after he was involved in a collision around 8:30 a.m. at Route 67 and Mussey Grade Road, said Capt. Jose Ramirez. The man was traveling south on 67 and turning left onto Mussey Grade Road when his car was clipped in the right rear, said Ramirez. He was the only person in his car and the female driver of the white Chevrolet compact that was involved was uninjured. About 3:30 p.m., a female, age 36, was transported by ambulance to Palomar Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries after her car rolled over on the shoulder of State Route 67,

San Vicente Saddle Club Poker Ride A worthy cause — and lots of fun
San Vicente Saddle Club’s annual poker ride will be held on May 4. Now, don’t let the name fool you. This saddle club is composed of many types of people, not just horse people. Oh, it may have started out that way some 20 years ago, but this group has grown into a philanthropic nonprofit organization that makes amazing contributions to our community. They have bestowed beauty on Ramona through supporting such additions as the entrance monument at Highway 67 and Dye Road and the amazing arch created and installed at the Casey Tibbs Western Center, as well as the beauty of giving to community members in need. This organization is
a pleasure to be involved with. The members are equestrians and hikers and also community members who want to be involved in a goodhearted organization working for our community. Their giving has supported youngsters who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to go to horse shows and by making donations to our friends and neighbors in need due to illness, injury and many other worthy causes. The Annual Poker Ride is the club’s primary fundraising event that makes their humanitarian efforts possible and allows their generosity throughout the year. You do not need to have or ride a horse to have a
blast at their event. The trails are wonderful to hike, and photo opportunities are incredible, too. Lunch, opportunity drawings, and auction items are going to fill your afternoon with delight.

Letters Community feels anguish and grief Dear Mr. Newman, Students and Staff at the Ramona High School, Where there is sorrow there is holy ground. The Dorman Family, Staff and Students at the high school are in our prayers. Anguish and grief is being felt by our entire community. Those who have known Taylor are greatly blessed. The deeper the grief, the closer to God. May the Lord give you all solace during these heartfelt times. God’s blessings to all. John Rajcic On behalf of The Rajcic Family
Let’s rethink San Vicente Road project The recent article about the San Vicente Road reconstruction made me hopeful that there was some way we could cancel all those plans and start over. Somehow I doubt it. I am being way too naive to think we as the community could have any effect on the big ol’ county to change their stance on this horrible plan. Does anyone remember what this stretch of road looked like when the last wildfire raged through there? All the underbrush was gone and you could see all the space that was there and actually down the road at other cars. I drive this road every day in a Ramona school bus. From my vantage point (imagine you are sitting in a chair on top of your car) I can see farther down the road than drivers in cars. If you have driven a motorhome you can relate. The only places that are really scary are the spots where the hillside comes right down to the road. It is directly across from the metal guardrails. Those are the narrowest feeling areas. People have requested more room to pull off the road in an emergency. There is plenty of hillside that could be scraped back and the asphalt or good DG extended. Very few trees need to be taken down and if the double yellow lines have islands in the narrow spots and rumble strips on either side of lanes like up on Mt. Woodson (67), cars See MORE LETTERS, page 9

What marijuana ‘medical dispensaries’ say about our future By KEN WOODWARD The discussions under way in Ramona about the public authorization to establish a marijuana “medical dispensary” in our town should alert residents to the direction our society is moving. This discussion would never have taken place in the early 1950s, when the use of recreational drugs was illegal, and practically unknown. In the latter part of the 1950s a small segment of our society was using a psychedelic drug called LSD. This soon expanded the use of another drug, already in limited use, marijuana, which soon graduated into cocaine, and later, sophisticated designer drugs, such as ecstasy, and the seemingly innocuous over the coun-
Guest Commentary ter energy drinks. By the year 2013 the unknowns of the 1950s became the widely used and discussed drugs of the 21st century. For those of us who lived in the 1950s it would have been impossible to have predicted that later in our lives the states of Washington and Colorado would make a “first step” drug, such as marijuana, legal. Where do we go from here? We need to understand that man, unlike other members of the animal kingdom, is a timebinding creature. Each new generation stands on the shoulders of the previous generation, which binds it to the successes and mistakes of that gen-

eration. We can easily define the successes: invention of the first wheel was later followed by machines and eventually the automobile; discovery of electricity led us into lighting, electronics, and the vast world of computers; eradication of diseases and the proper treatment for mending injuries to the human body were processes that transcended thousands of years. The mistakes, many: state-sponsored gambling, gridlock of our political institutions, the corruption of our constitutional rights
to freedom of speech which now allows any form of public media to display extreme violence and pornographic behavior, unnecessary wars, medical marijuana drug dispensaries, and so on. Once each of these thresholds is crossed, there is no going back. It is handed off to the next time-binding generation which accepts, promotes, and passes it on, never once questioning or realizing that the cumulative mistakes of the past, if significant enough, can carry the essence of our future self-destruction as a society and a nation.

Where do we sign up for affordable housing? When I read the article on affordable housing, I just had to write. When I moved to Ramona nine years ago, I moved into the senior mobile home park. Space rent was $405. It is now $650, because I lived here when it sold two years ago. The space rent has gone up $110 in the last two years. It is now $730 for those moving in. The people who live here are mostly in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, just hardworking people when they were able. Now some are going without medicines, others aren’t eating right. Two bakeries deliver bread twice a week, a church in town delivers 30 boxes of food every other month on a first signup, first served basis. God Bless them all. They don’t know how much that helps. People have tried selling their mobile homes so they’re listed below market value. But they can’t sell them because the space rent is so high. Where do we go to sign up for that $544 affordable

Airport safety issues fly below public radar There are high priority safety issues related to Ramona Airport that fly below the public radar and won’t go away with a control tower. One is a current reality and not a distant probability. Ramona is rated as one of the most dangerous airports from toxic lead exposure (above 80 percent) for the community surrounding it due to general aviation’s reliance on leaded gas. Although many think of lead poisoning as just disabling to children (leaving them cognitively and motor impaired — perhaps like Charles Manson, who has lead poisoning), lead also creates dementia in the elderly. The lead is stored away protectively in bones, yet re-enters the circulatory system and our brains through
the osteopenia and osteoporosis process inherent in aging. Historically, Ramona Airport was a military operation during a time when many toxic chemicals were freely used. It is probable that even the aquifer is polluted with these chemicals. In fact, anyone (even unknowingly) buying land contaminated is buying liability into future clean up costs. That is, if at some time, someone were to take the initiative and test the water and wells in the area for these substances. These toxins are usually not a part of standard water tests, nor is it cheap to test for them, or to remove them, or to suffer their health consequences. Also, there is the bird aviation strike hazard (BASH) issue. Raptors (bald eagles included) increase the risk of airplanes coming down from the sky. A question is does Ramona want to encourage recreation that definitively causes asthma and disabilities in children? Another question — is there anything we can do about it? Maybe making Ramona Airport less pilot friendly and more kid friendly with curfews, noise and air pollution monitoring and reporting, demanding unleaded gas consumption, testing for lead in our children, and rapidly addressing anemia could all help.

Band on the Run 5/10K Benefit, Family Fun Day at RHS By KATHY KUBIAK What do you get when you combine a marching and jazz band with a 5K/10K nationally sanctioned walk/run? If you would like to know the answer to that question, then check out Band on the Run 5K/10K Family Fun Day on April 27 at the Ramona High School track and football field. “The event has been sanctioned by the USA Track & Field Association so that times may be recorded for national standings for those competing in multiple 5/10K events during the year,” said event organizers Heather Feltmate and Tracey Stephens
of the Alliance for Music Education. “We also wanted to make it a family event, and have added a 1-mile Kids Fun Run, a supervised kids area with games, prizes, and face painting, drawings and silent auction items, as well as local vendors and food booths.” The event will kick off at 9 a.m. with a 1-mile Kids Fun Run, followed by the 5K and then the 10K. Individual routes for the 5K and 10K have been identified through the town, and runners will be serenaded by music at various points along the route. While the adults are competing in their event, youngsters can have fun in
the supervised Kid Zone at the football field. Entrance fees for the races range from $10 for the Kids Fun Run to $25 for the 5K and $35 for the 10K races. Proceeds will benefit the Ramona High School Band programs. All entrants will receive a free T-shirt with their registration. For more information, call 760-440-ROYAL or visit the band website at www.royalallianceband. org. The Ramona High School band program is coming off another successful year under the instruction of Daniel James. The Marching Band & Color Guard competed in five competitions in the fall,

Edwin Gottlieb Schacher 1917 – 2013
On April 11, 2013, a devoted husband, amazing daddy and GG joined his dad, Christof; mom, Rosina; eight brothers; and two sisters in Heaven with Jesus Christ. His “little bride” of 72 years, Connie Schacher, continues his legacy in life along with their three children, Ron, Cheri and Greg; 11 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and his brother, Louie. His passion for life was seen in his devotion to his family and Lord, unconditional love, and his spontaneity for fun! Even our community was able to experience his zest for life as Ramona’s Santa Claus and Easter Bunny. Edwin was a WWII decorated veteran, serving our country for over 12 years, a lifetime member of the American Legion and a Mason.

Woman found dead inside store The body of a female was found inside the Cricket store in the Stater Brothers shopping center, 1600 block of Main Street, on Sunday morning, April 14, according to Ramona Fire Department/Cal Fire. Lt. James Bovet of the Sheriff’s Ramona station said no foul play is suspected. When Station 80 paramedics arrived at the store around 7 a.m., they found the female had been dead for a period of time, said Capt. Don Davis. She appeared to be in her early 30s and was inside the store legally, he said. No immediate information was available from the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.

ment for three state agencies: Cal Fire, Cal EMA (California Emergency Management Agency) and the military department,” Chesbro said. “The fund would also provide resources to local first response agencies.” San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who has been fighting the state fire fee that affects much of her District 2, was quick with a critical response about the new bill. “I continue to oppose the $150-a-year tax because homeowners already pay for fire protection through property taxes and other fees, but the idea of an insurance surcharge is
From page 6
“The idea of an insurance surcharge ... would simply swap one tax for another.” Supervisor Dianne Jacob no better, because it would simply swap one tax for another. What the state needs to do instead is prioritize public safety and make sure Cal Fire is adequately funded, without putting additional burdens on taxpayers,” Jacob said. AB 468 was introduced on April 8, the
same day that Democrats blocked a Republican bill, SB 17, that calls for repealing the fire fee. That bill, authored by Ted Gaines, representing the 1st Senate District in Northern California, died in committee. Gaines said he will fight the proposed insurance tax. Meanwhile, Ramonans who paid the fire fee at the end of 2012 for the state’s 2011-12 fiscal year can expect to be receiving their 2012-13 fire fee bill in a few months, according to the state Board of Equalization.

OPMS receives Distinguished School recognition Olive Peirce Middle School is among eight high schools and middle schools as well as three specialty schools in San Diego County named a California Distinguished School. This is the third time OPMS has received this distinction, Robert Graeff, Ramona Unified superintendent said, and the second while Linda Solis has been principal. "All of us — students, staff, parents — are thrilled with the good news," said Solis. "We work hard together to ensure
the 'greatest middle school in the inner planetary galactic solar system,' and it's a fabulous feeling to have the vision/belief validated by both last year's School to Watch award and this year's Distinguished School award." OPMS received the National Blue Ribbon Schools' award the first year she was vice principal in 1992-93 and the California Distinguished School award in 1994, the first year she was principal. She retires at the end of this school year.

Preschool carnival sets $10,000 fundraising goal
L
ittle People’s Learning Center at Ramona United Methodist Church plans a silent auction and carnival fundraiser for Saturday, April 20. “Our goal is to raise $10,000 for scholarships and to provide new trikes and scooters for our students,” said Jill Bacorn, director of the licensed preschool. Carnival games and bidding on numerous auction items will begin at 3:30 p.m. Also scheduled is an art show featuring unique wall hangings by Little People students. The art is available for purchase. The preschool’s mission is “to provide each child learning opportunities within a safe, loving, sharing, and caring environment,” said Bacorn. “Our goals are to help the child to develop healthy attitudes about himself and others, to develop awareness of the small world he lives in so he will be prepared to live in the larger world, and to develop skills necessary for positive experience in learning.” For more information about the fundraising event, call 760-789-3435.
YO, YO, 1-2-1-2 No I’m not kicking off a hip hop career. I’m talking about yo-yo dieting this week and the issues and repercussions associated with it. We just launched our seventh Ramona’s Biggest Winner competition, where teams of four complete bootcamps, nutrition classes, one-on-one coaching sessions and team challenges, all in an effort to lose the most in six weeks. We have over 150 motivated individuals
fired up and ready to lose some weight for the summer and, my hope, the rest of their lives. The latter is not always the case. I have seen a number of participants compete in multiple Biggest Winner events and I welcome them with open arms, but I want to see long-term success. Here is my encouragement: Strive to keep the weight off long term. Yes we may gain a pound or two or three over the holidays, but in general I
Happy Holidays!
would categorize one as a yo-yo dieter if one has gained and lost 10 percent to 15 percent of their body weight three or more times. Yo-yo dieting will suppress good fat burning hormones and increase fat sparing ones, along with altering your mood and psychology. It will cannibalize lean muscle. Why does this occur and how can one prevent the bulge from returning? First it is critical NOT TO DIET AT ALL. Diets have a beginning and an end. Healthy eating is for a lifetime. As in life, we have to strive to do what is maintainable and sustainable. Second, GRADUAL WEIGHT LOSS is key. If you lose 30 pounds in a month, you most likely have lost a significant amount of lean body mass and in turn slowed your metabolism down. Do this year after year and your calorie burning furnace, muscle, will have dimin-
ished, and even your calories burned at rest will decline. When you lose over a longer period of time, you give yourself a chance to learn new eating habits, retrain your appetite for healthy food, and learn a healthy living routine. Next, it’s imperative that you pick stuff up, move it around, put it down, and repeat. In other words — LIFT WEIGHTS. I’ll say it time and again: Resistance training is king. This will keep that furnace we spoke of earlier, muscle, stoked and burning like a So-Cal wildfire! Strive for long-term change and sustainable results. Make a commitment to yourself, your famliy and friends and your body to STOP the yo-yo cycle. 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.

FILLING THE BOOT—Ramona Fire Department/Cal Fire Battalion Chief Burke Kremensky holds a boot as Ramona Municipal Water District Director Rex Schildhouse puts in a donation for the Burn Institute at a recent water board meeting.
An Earth Day Celebration will be held at the Santa Ysabel General Store & Backcountry Visitor Center from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 21. Visitors will be able to enjoy Earth Day activities, booths, artisan goods, food and more. Kevin Schmelzlen from the California Wolf Center will give a presentation from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Store and visitor center is at 30275 State Route 78 in Santa Ysabel. In conjunction with that celebration, the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy will lead a free guided family hike at the Ramona Grasslands from 9 to 11 a.m. Hikers should meet at the Ramona Grasslands Trailhead on Highland Valley Road,
just east of Archie Moore Road. The hike is easy and flat, and will be done at a leisurely pace to include families with little ones in strollers. It is a 3.5 to 4 mile loop, but participants are welcome to turn around at any point. Families will see rolling grasslands, a few patches of live oak, and possibly some hawks. A light breakfast and refreshments will be offered prior to the hike. To register for the hike, email sdrvc@ sdrvc.org and write “Earth Day Hike� in the subject line. The hike is capped at 40 participants and is first-come first-serve registration. For more information on both events, visit sdrvc.org.

Ramona Fire Station 80 paramedics responded to the school’s 9-1-1 call. Paramedics found Taylor in ventricular fibrillation. They initiated advanced cardiac life support, and a Mercy Air helicopter transported him from the football field to Palomar Medical Center. He died in the hospital at 3:40 p.m., the medical examiner reported. That evening, friends gathered in front of the high school to pay tribute to Taylor. They arranged candles in the shape of a cross, and placed flowers, passages from the Bible, notes, cards, and other memorabilia, including a Magic Marker, pens, pencils, and a teddy bear at the base of a tree in front of the school.

ogists have been at the school to assist students and staff in need. “He was a great young man,” said Newman. “He was very well-liked by many on campus. This will have an impact on students and staff. We will remember some good memories and keep them alive in our hearts and our thoughts and our conversations.” Regarding the boy who hit the line drive off the bat, Newman said, “We are concerned about him as well. We’ve been in contact with his family. Our hearts are going out out him as well. It was an accident and it was not his fault.” Newman described the ball that hit Taylor as a “soft softball” made of synthetic leather with a rub-

as said he understood that. His attorney, Tom Carnessale, hinted that he did not advise Thomas to plead guilty. “We’ve been discussing this position for some time. This is what he wants to do,” said Carnessale to the judge. Watching in the audience were 17 people who included Eskridge’s children, family, and friends. They met afterward with Deputy District Attorney David Williams III. “He will not leave prison alive,” said Williams. “The defendant committed a terrible crime against a beloved member of the East County community,” said Williams. “Jean Eskridge taught dance to generations of children and was a small business owner for virtu-

ally her entire life. The defendant killed her by striking her eight times in the head with a hammer while she slept.” The motive for the crime seems elusive other than statements Thomas made to sheriff’s detectives. Thomas said he “forever” had a desire to kill somebody and finally acted upon it after he spent the night in a guest bedroom in her home. Williams said he was told Thomas pleaded guilty so he would avoid a trial in which more gruesome details of the murder would be aired. At his preliminary hearing, a judge heard Thomas’ confession for 10 minutes and then stopped the videotape, saying he had heard enough and ordered him to stand trial.
The prosecutor said two court-appointed psychiatrists examined Thomas in jail after his insanity plea, but it was determined he did not qualify for an insanity defense. Thomas apparently had no psychiatric history that usually accompanies an insanity defense. Not much is known about Thomas. He has no prior criminal record, was divorced, and lived alone in another mobile home near where Eskridge lived. Eskridge owned Jean’s Dance Studio in Spring Valley from 1948 to 1987 and her daughter took over the studio. She was a lifetime member of National Association of Dance Artists and she enjoyed dances at the mobile home park.
dlelight vigil the evening of April 11 and held a birthday party to honor Taylor in Ramona Oaks Park on Friday evening. Taylor’s mother said the medical examiner told her Taylor had myocarditis, a condition his father David Dorman died of about 18 months ago. “It’s a viral or bacterial infection,” she said. “He said he couldn’t really tell and would send some slides to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) to see g
if he could determine exactly what caused the myocarditis.” She said she and her family appreciate all the love and support they’ve received. “I can’t believe what an outpouring of support that we have,” she said. “It means so much. I love going to those events and getting all those hugs...It felt like it was Taylor hugging me.” She understands the teddy bear drawings and the stuffed teddy bear at the shrine in front of the school. “I think that’s symbolism of Taylor and his big teddy bear hugs — some called it grizzly bear hugs,” she said, explaining that at 6 feet 2 inches tall and 250 pounds, “He wasn’t a little teddy bear. He was a big teddy bear...He was just a big soft and warm teddy bear.” Talking about the outpouring of concern from friends and the community, she said, “He did something good on this earth. He accomplished his goal. “I can’t thank Ramona enough, and my family and friends. Without them, I don’t think I’d get through this, but we’re going to. We have to.”

Head Start showcases renovated buildings By KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Head Start staff, parents, and children celebrated the completed renovation of the child development program’s buildings on April 17. The buildings that Head Start uses at 415 Eighth Street served as junior high classrooms 50 years ago, said Yrene Jauregui, supervisor of the Ramona Head Start program. Jauregui said the renovations included new exterior siding, flooring and fixtures in bathrooms, trailers for staff offices and lounge, asphalt resurfacing, and indoor and outdoor play equipment for children. Recognizing the Head Start staff’s efforts were representatives from the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County (CAPSLO) which began operating the Head Start programs in Ramona, Poway, and Borrego Springs in September 2012. Head Start is a federally funded child development

volunteer hours. “It was an amazing group effort,” Welch said. Praising Jauregui for her “tireless work” and presenting her with a plaque, Jamie Eyre, education supervisor for CAPSLO, said, “She’s dedicated. She has so much respect for this community and this program.” Jauregui, in turn, thanked all the parents. “We couldn’t have done it without your help,” she said.

Health officials, supervisor celebrate new Ramona clinic Palomar Health officials, Arch Health Partners doctors and District 2 County Supervisor Dianne Jacob welcomed Ramona residents to the open house of the new Ramona Ambulatory Care Center on Saturday, April 13. The 7,600-square-foot clinic is on 13th Street, just off Main Street, and across
from the Ramona Library. Those speaking included Jacob, Arch Health Partners Executive Director Victoria Lister, Palomar Health Board Chairman Ted Kleiter, Palomar Health Chief Executive Officer Michael Covert, Dr. Christine Lind, and Dr. Marcelo Rivera, who as a Ramona resident and member of

the Palomar Health board was instrumental in bringing the medical clinic to Ramona. A key message was that residents of Ramona and backcountry communities need to support the clinic. Officials said the more business the care center receives, the greater the chance for expansion and longer urgent care hours. “Please make an effort to use this facility so we can one day expand it,” said Jacob. T h e t h r e e hour open h o u s e included free screenings, entertainm e n t , food, and
tours of the new building. “I’m really happy that we have it, especially with urgent care,” said Violet Jagers of Ramona. “It’s necessary.” Melanie Parker, who has been in Ramona for 34 years, said, “It’s a big step up for us. We’re all thrilled.” Costing about $6 million, the care center was
made possible with the passage of Proposition BB, the nearly $500 million bond measure that
district voters approved in 2004, and that also funded the new Palomar Medical Center building in Escondido.

Scouts play Amazing Race — with a twist Members of Girl Scout Troop No. 8009 participated in the third annual Girl Scout Amazing Race in San Diego’s Balboa Park. San Diego Girl Scout Council staff members coordinated the event. Troops were organized into teams to compete in physical challenges, solve puzzles, and find historical landmarks — “all of which led them in an exciting exploration of the museums and gardens of Balboa Park,” said Danielle Shaw, the Ramona troop’s leader. Girls had to put their teamwork skills to action to solve these puzzles — and they learned a little about San Diego’s history along the way, noted Shaw. Race teams met at the starting point to receive a clue to send them to the first station. Each station thereafter provided a clue to get them to the next sta-

Out of Box Players stage ‘Witness to Gettysburg’ on Saturday Truck crashes into home The Out of the Box Players, a new theater troupe in Ramona, will have their first guest artist of the 2013 season on Saturday. Actress and playwright Annette Hubbell will perform her one woman show, “Witness to Gettysberg,” at Bonham Bros & Stewart on 12th and D streets on April 20 at 7:30 p.m. Hubbell stars as Miss Hattie Elizabeth Turner, who will take the audi-
ence back in time to the Battle of Gettysburg, its horrific aftermath, and tell the tale of that small town’s efforts to care for 30,000 Union and Confederate casualties. A question-and-answer period with the playwright will immediately follow the show. The doors open at 7 p.m. It is a 90-minute performance, including an intermission. Tickets are $8 each
and may be purchased in advance (recommended) through the box office at 760-789-0856 or by email to outofboxplayers@aol.com. Advance tickets are recommended.

Two males were airlifted to Palomar Medical Center after the truck they were in crashed into a home just outside San Diego Country Estates on Friday, April 12, said Ramona Fire Department’s Station 80. The accident happened around 4 p.m. in the 22900 block of San Vicente Road. Capt. Josh Black said the Toyota pickup truck went off the road, through bushes, down a hill, and intruded about one foot into the exterior of the house. The owner was home, but was not injured, he said.

amona swept the Timberwolves of Mission Vista in a three game series in Valley League play and rewrote the record book. The Bulldogs scored 53 runs and blasted 62 hits. The Dawgs are now 11-5 overall. Ramona opened Valley League action with a 12-0 win over Mission Vista High School. In that opener the Bulldogs got the best of both worlds, excellent pitching and outstanding pitching as in the words of coach Dean Welch, “We put it all together.” Rhett Williams was dominating on the mound as the right-hander had the best outing of his career. Williams faced 22 hitters in seven innings as he only

gave up two hits. He struck out seven and did not issue a walk. Ramona’s bats were alive and well as the Bulldogs hit .526 as a team. Ramona ripped 17 hits as five Bulldogs had multiple hit games. Senior third baseman Kevin Hagan put on an offensive clinic. Hagan had a career high four hit day with three RBIs, two runs scored, and four stolen bases. Kyle Wilson ripped a double and two singles, drove in two runs, and scored a run. Henry Flecker had two doubles and two RBIs, and scored a run. Gage Canning and Brandon Fitzpatrick each contributed two singles. Jordan Farhat, Joel Mitchell, CJ Broussard, and Jonathan Doulgeropoulos also hit safely for the Dawgs. Ramona broke and set a plethora of school, league, and CIF records in a 29-2 rout at Mission Vista High School. After two innings Ramona led the Timberwolves by three touchdowns and they were playing baseball. Canning had a career at the plate. The sophomore center fielder had a
school and CIF record — 7-for-7 — with seven RBIs. He scored four runs and hit for the cycle, which means that he had a home run (two actually), triple, double (three actually), and a single. Canning had seven hits and first base coach Tom Jamison only got to talk to him once during the game. In all, 14 Bulldogs collected 31
hits and drove in 28 runs. Broussard, Joey Belluso, and Carl Schwettman had three hits apiece. Belluso had five RBIs. Schwettman hit a home run. The following Bulldogs had two hits apiece: Fitzpatrick, Farhat, Hagan, Taylor Burger, Flecker, and Trevor Yerkey. Hagan hit See BASEBALL, page 28
Spikers gain first league win, reach tournament finals By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s boys volleyball team returned from Spring Break by defeating Orange Glen for the Bulldogs’ first league win of 2013. During their first week back to action, the Bulldogs also lost to Del Norte and played in the Scripps Ranch Tournament, where Ramona reached the Silver Division finals. The Bulldogs preceded Spring Break by losing a five-game match to Valley Center after winning two
of the first three games, so coach Jeff Klauda felt some changes were needed. “The strength of our league seems to be outside hitters,” Klauda said. “It’s rough for us because our setters are so small.” Isaiah Spieker had been Ramona’s primary setter and Jake McLaughlin is normally the Bulldogs’ libero. In the April 9 match at Orange Glen, Klauda used McLaughlin as the setter for the first game. In the second game SpiekSee VOLLEYBALL, page 30

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.

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. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $369,049.98 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

Bulldog golfers shoot low scores in two league victories By BILL TAMBURRINO The Bulldog golf team beat Orange Glen and Mission Vista in Valley League matches and lost a non-league tilt to San Pasqual on the links last week. The Dawgs are 9-5 overall and 3-0 in the Valley League. Ramona beat Orange Glen at Eagles Crest Golf Club 204-254. Kazar Matoian shot a 39 on the par 36 front nine to earn medalist honors in the match. Jacob Buckley fired a 40. Ryan Graf carded a 41. Thomas Andrews and Mike Smith both shot 42. “We grouped our scores very well. Anytime your

The following Bulldogs had one hit apiece: Joel Mitchell, Grason Lanz, Doulgeropoulos, and Blake Workman. “We could do this every game if they would listen to me,” joked Welch as he shook his head when asked to explain the record setting performance. Wilson got the start and went six innings to pick up the win. He limited the Timberwolves to three hits and struck out nine. Workman pitched one inning and struck out one.

because good coaches like Welch will play as many players on the roster as possible in routs. The only people the mercy rule helps are the umpires. When a coach plays 16 players he can’t be accused of running up the score. Ramona closed out the series with a 12-3 home win as the Dawgs’ offense continued to pound the ball. Ramona ripped 14 hits as nine Bulldogs hit safely in the game. Broussard got the start and the win as he went six innings, limiting the
Timberwolves to three hits and two earned runs as he struck out eight. Burger finished the game and gave up one hit and fanned one. Broussard also had a big day at the plate as he went 3-for-4 with a triple, scored two runs, and had an RBI. Mitchell, Fitzpatrick, and Hagan all had two hits apiece. Mitchell had the only home run of the game and drove in four runs. Canning, Farhat, Belluso, Doulgeropoulos, and Tyler Sherman also contributed hits in the win.

Jason Morton shot 46. Cody AndersonParks and Mikey Hall both carded 51. Andrew Kaminsky and Ben Anderson-Parks shot 55.
“Having our top four shoot in the thirties shows how well we played as a team. Our top six golfers are playing great and, as the scores indicate, we are playing consistently as a team. Our toughest matches in league are coming up on the road so after next week we will know where we stand. If we continue to play the way we played last week, I like our chances,” said Patenaude.
Riley, Stidham finish as top 2 in invitational's 1,600-meter race By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School seniors Forrest Riley and Tristan Stidham placed first and second respectively in the Jaguar Invitational boys 1,600-meter race at Valley Center High School. “That was exciting,” said head coach Sherri Edwards. Riley had a time of 4:23.14 while Stidham finished in 4:24.92. The two exchanged the lead during the race. “It was back and forth,” Edwards said. “They were pushing each other.” The times were both personal records; Riley bettered his previous fast time by more than two seconds while Stidham shaved more than five seconds off his previous best. Stidham also set a personal
record in the 800-meter race, in which his time of 2:02.04 placed fourth. Riley competed only in the 1,600-meter at the Jaguar Invitational. Ramona junior Austin Minnocci had a time of 52.61 seconds in the open 400-meter race. He won his heat and placed fourth overall. “He’s really coming on,” Edwards said. “His times have been dropping every meet.” Two of Ramona’s throwers took third place at the Jaguar Invitational. Senior Paul Mehaffie set a personal record with a distance of 135’2” in the discus and junior Daniel Van Tol hurled the shot put 46’1”. Wyatt Scott, who was the only sophomore in the invitational 110-meter hurdles race, placed seventh at 16.99 seconds.
“I’m excited about that because everyone else was juniors and seniors,” Edwards said. Scott also placed sixth in the 300-meter hurdles race with a 43.61-second performance. Ramona’s distance medley relay team placed sixth with a time of 11:52.18. Freshman Gabe Plendcio opened the race with the 1,200-meter portion, sophomore Max Edwards held the baton for 400 meters, sophomore Matt Meskell ran 800 meters, and sophomore James Meskell anchored the race with the 1,600-meter segment. The Bulldogs host Oceanside in a Valley League dual meet Thursday. Saturday’s Grizzly Invite meet at Mission Hills High School will also involve the Ramona team.
Stallman, Guasti, Lucas place third in Jaguar track and field invitational By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s girls track and field team competed in the Jaguar Invitational meet April 13 at Valley Center High School, and three Bulldogs took third place in their events. Holly Stallman placed third in the invitational 100-meter dash, Callie Guasti was third in the high jump, and Ciara Lucas finished third in the open 800-meter race. The Bulldogs also took second in their heat and fifth overall in the 4x100
relay. “A lot of PRs (personal records). I was excited about that,” said head coach Sherri Edwards. Stallman’s time of 12.73 seconds in the 100-meter dash was one of the personal records. The freshman also finished sixth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 27.23 seconds. Stallman, freshman Hannah Farhat, freshman Diana Turvey, and junior Courtney Ford comprised Ramona’s 4x100 relay team which posted a time of 51.80 seconds. Guasti cleared 4’8” in
the high jump, which was not a personal record, although Edwards understood why the junior was unable to match her top performance. “It was like 8:30 at night and it was cold,” Edwards said. Guasti had a distance of 30’11” in the triple jump in the open flight. That not only gave her a medal for being in the top six of the open competition, but also placed 15th overall, including the invitational jumpers. Guasti and Ford both competed in the long See JAGUAR on page 29

Boys tennis finds Del Norte tough competition By BILL TAMBURRINO Ramona High’s boys tennis team lost its first Valley League match to Del Norte High School. “We were a little rusty coming back from Spring Break and having our practice rained out on Monday didn’t give us a chance to get ready for a Tuesday match. We will
make some adjustments in the second round, and if we continue to work and improve we will have a chance to make up for that loss,” said coach Doug Failla. Ramona bounced back and beat Orange Glen. Ramona is 2-1 in the Valley League and in second place. Mission Vista and Oceanside do not field
tennis teams so there are only four teams in the Valley League that play tennis. Ramona’s loss to Del Norte was by a score of 13-5. Del Norte took 8 of the 9 team points in singles play. Daniel Streeter took Ramona’s only singles point by going 0-6, 6-2, and 3-6. Christian Failla went 1-6, 0-6, and
Lacrosse team closes scoring gap By JOE NAIMAN Although the Ramona High School’s girls lacrosse games played the week after Spring Break were losses for the Bulldogs, the scores were closer than the girls’ matches just prior to the school break. Ramona’s three losses prior to Spring Break were by a combined total of 28 goals with the closest margin being seven goals. Ramona’s next three defeats were by a cumulative 14 goals with no opponent outscoring the Bulldogs by more than five. The Bulldogs’ first match following an 18-5 home loss to Poway March 29 was a 10-6 loss April 9 at Mt. Carmel. “I think we passed a little more and we were able to have better shot place-
Jaguar
g
ment,” said co-captain Ashley Wright. Wright noted that the Bulldogs had a better showing in the second half against the Sundevils. “We were more focused on the game the second half,” she said. Lack of focus may have been Ramona’s undoing April 11 at Serra, when the Bulldogs took a less-thanserious attitude during pregame practice. “In warm-ups we need to focus some more,” Wright said. “The first half I feel we weren’t ready to play.” Ramona closed the gap during the second half, although the Conquistadors still ended the game on the favorable end of the 14-9 score. San Marcos traveled to Ramona for an April 12
match and returned with a 12-7 victory. “We didn’t play that well,” Wright said. “We could have played a lot better.” Some of Ramona’s play was an improvement from past games. “We were passing the ball a lot better than we have been and we were connecting,” Wright said. “We weren’t catching the ball when we were going to goal,” said Wright. “We need to work on cuts and just catching the ball in general.” Mt. Carmel and San Marcos are Valley League opponents, so the losses gave Ramona a 1-4 league record along with a 4-9 overall mark. The Bulldogs have a Valley League match Friday at San Dieguito Academy.

Rickey Flores and Nick Peterson took two sets by posting scores of 4-6, 6-2, and 6-1. Jack Mellecker and Chad Martin won 2 team points by going 6-7, 6-4, and 7-6. Adam Mazzola and Stephen Janak went 4-6, 3-6, and 4-6. Failla started gearing up for the second round match against Del Norte by shaking up his lineup against Orange Glen. Failla made significant changes to his doubles teams. Christian Failla joined Flores on the No. 1 doubles team and the two teamed up to win all three sets by going 6-2, 6-2, and 6-0. Peterson and Wilcox joined forces for the No. 2 doubles tandem and picked up 3 team points by posting scores of 6-2, 6-2, and 6-1. Mellecker and Martin brought in 9 team points for the Dawgs by going 6-1, 6-4, and 6-1. Streeter served three bagels as he went 6-0 across the board to win three sets in the No. 1 singles spot.

By DEENA VIZCARRA The Ramona FC Club Girls U16 team traveled to Apple Valley last weekend to compete in the world’s largest youth soccer tournament (President’s Division) held in California and came home undefeated. “Overall, it was a great team effort. I am very happy with the results,” said coach Justin “JJ” Jordan. The defensive team of Taylor Stacy (Keeper), Sydney Marin, Shelby Sherman, Courtney Dolan, and Katherine Lorentz did a great job containing the opposing team’s offensive and holding a strong line.

er set when the rotation called for a back row alignment, while McLaughlin set in front-row situations. Reed Hallams and Lance Stickney had been the starting middle blockers. During some practices Klauda had experimented with Stickney as an outside hitter. Klauda felt that Stickney was ready for that role for the Orange Glen match, while Levi Vermeulen had progressed to where he could be a starting middle blocker. “Lance took some decent swings,” Klauda said. “Levi played pretty well.” Ramona defeated the Patriots in 25-17, 25-7, and 25-12 games. “We played pretty clean. We didn’t make very many errors at all,” Klauda said. “We had only a handful of errors the entire match and
games on Saturday, April 13. The first game was against Laguna Hills Eclipse, which resulted in a 3-0 shutout for Ramona. Goals were scored by Charbonneau (2) and Lorentz (1). In the second game, Ramona beat the San Luis Obispo Storm in another shutout of the day, 3-0, in heavy winds. Stacy had nine saves. Goals were scored by Hoertig and Dolan off of a free kick,
and Lorentz with a header. On Sunday, April 14, the girls continued their winning streak against Rialto Fire with a 4-1 victory. Goals were scored by Jordan (first 40 seconds of the game), Italino, Njaa (off a PK), and Estrada. The girls advance to play this weekend, returning to Apple Valley to compete with the top 16 teams.

ting errors unforced at all. Del Norte blocked very well,” Klauda said. “They set up camp on our outsides and we weren’t able to put a ball away.” After focusing on serving and serve-receive during practice April 11, Ramona spent April 12 and April 13 at the Scripps Ranch Tournament. The Bulldogs’ Friday pool play matches were at Scripps Ranch High School. Hallams missed the April 12 matches due to a college visit. Klauda added another middle blocker following the Del Norte match, calling up sophomore Trevor Johnson from the junior varsity squad. “He’s at the point where he’s going to progress faster on varsity,” said Klauda. Johnson made his var-
sity debut against Foothills Christian, who was Ramona’s first pool opponent. Ramona defeated the Knights by 25-15 and 2514 scores. The other team in Ramona’s pool was Tesoro High School of Mission Viejo. “They weren’t as big as some of the Southern Section teams, but skillwise they were very, very good,” Klauda said of the Titans. “We got spanked.” Tesoro’s victories were by 25-14 and 25-15 margins. “When we passed we were able to play with them,” Klauda said. The Friday matches concluded with a cross-pool contest. Ramona’s secondplace showing in its own pool resulted in a match against another pool’s second-place team, pitting
Ramona against Scripps Ranch. The Falcons won that match in 25-23 and 25-19 games. “We didn’t miss as many serves,” Klauda said. “On serve-receive we still broke down at times.” The first-place teams spent Saturday in the Gold Division, the third-place teams went to the Silver Division, and the secondplace cross-pool match sent the winner to the Gold bracket and the loser to the Silver competition. Ramona played its April 13 Silver Division matches at Mira Mesa High School. Ramona’s first April 13 match was a 25-20, 27-29, 15-12 loss to Granite Hills. “We missed a bunch of serves,” Klauda said. “It was awful.”

we served pretty well.” Josh Spieker, Ramona’s other starting outside hitter, had only one hitting error in 16 swings and led the Bulldogs with 10 kills. Stickney’s debut as an outside hitter saw him take 10 swings with six kills and two hitting errors. Although Isaiah Spieker didn’t play in the first game, he still had five serving aces and the Bulldogs scored 14 points during his serves. The team had a total of 10 aces. The win was Ramona’s first triumph in a Valley League match after two previous defeats. “Top to bottom this is by far the toughest that Valley League has ever been,” Klauda said. “We’ve been competitive in pretty much every match we’ve played in league.”
Klauda believed Ramona played competitively April 10 when the Bulldogs hosted Del Norte but lost in four games. “Del Norte came back and played very well. I’m not going to say we just gave it up,” Klauda said. Ramona won the first game by a 25-20 score and led the second game by an 18-11 margin before the Nighthawks ended that game with a 25-22 victory. “In game two we played pretty well,” Klauda said. “Down the stretch Del Norte picked up the pace.” The Nighthawks took a 25-21 triumph in the third game. “Game three was back and forth,” Klauda said. A 25-19 Del Norte victory in the fourth game concluded the match. “I would not call the hit-

Ramona faced Hilltop in the Bulldogs’ first elimination match, which ended with 25-21 and 26-24 games in Ramona’s favor. “We played okay,” Klauda said. “We played a decent game against Hilltop.” During warmups prior to the Silver Division quarterfinals, against Steele Canyon, Stickney rolled his ankle when he fell on another player, making Vermeulen and Hallams the primary middle blockers.

Served tough, moved the ball around.” Ramona advanced to the finals with 25-19 and 2516 victories. The Silver Division championship match pitted Ramona against Bishop’s. “We missed so many
