The goldspotted oak borer (GSOB) continues to claim the lives of oak trees in Ramona. Latest casualties include two oak trees on the San Vicente Golf Course and a tree in the rightof-way on Archie Moore Road, south of Rancho De la Angel Road. Ramona Community Planning Group voted Sept. 4 to recommend to the county that the tree on Archie Moore be cut down as it is now considered a safety hazard. "Ramona is on the cutting edge of infestation," said Dr. Tracy Ellis, an entomologist with San Diego County Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measurements. Dos Picos Park is one area that has lost trees, she said. "All along Mussey Grade Road has really been hard hit," said Ellis. San Vicente Golf Course has lost six to eight oak trees in the past

Cooperative Extension. According to the website, GSOB was first collected and identified in California in 2004 in San Diego County but was not linked to extensive oak mortality until 2008.
Ellis said it is believed the beetle was transported from Arizona to San Diego through infested firewood. She emphasized the importance of not moving firewood. She also noted that there is no known mechanism to stop the beetle from spreading and killing trees. "It's not a pest that we can regulate because it's already widespread," she said. Three oaks are known to be affected by the GSOB: coast live oaks, canyon live oaks and California black oaks. Ellis said the beetle does not appear to be detrimental to Englemann oaks. Researchers and arborists are working on management practices to prevent trees from falling prey to the beetle. When a tree is infested with GSOB, it dies quickly, said Shannon.

Also, Long said construction hours have changed slightly after conferring with the Ramona Unified School District. Traffic control for one-lane closures will be allowed from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Wait times will be no more than 10 to 15 minutes, he said, and emergency access will be maintained at all times. The San Vicente Road project will realign 2.25 miles of the curvy road from Warnock Drive to 1,000 feet east of Wildcat Canyon Road to improve site distance and increase safety. The project will also add bike lanes and See ROAD UPDATES page A2

down to prevent further spreading of the beetle. "Do not remove oak fi rewood from local infested areas to prevent the potential spread of GSOB in new areas," states the University of California website. At the golf course, the oak trees have been cut up and stored under sheets of black plastic behind a practice area. Shannon said they will remain there for a year and the heat under the plastic will cause the beetle to die. After a year, the wood can be split and used for firewood, he said, adding that he is following recommended practices. In addition to the "D" shaped hole, other symptoms of the GSOB infestation of a tree are red or black staining in dime-

Long said construction will consist of three phases: •During stage 1 traffic will use the existing San Vicente Road lanes while the contractor constructs the temporary roadway at the outer edge of the existing lanes. This will occur between September 2014 and September 2015. •During stage 2, traffic will be shifted to the outer edge or the temporary roadway while the contractor builds the new lanes. This work will overlap with stage 1 construction and occur between February 2015 and October 2015. •During stage 3, traffic will be shifted back to the new lanes and the contractor will construct additional portions of the new roadway plus shoulders and ultimate slopes. This work will overlap with stage 2 construction and occur

between April 2015 and March 2016. At the Sept. 8 meeting, residents were invited to submit questions or concerns on comment cards. Long said the three main areas of concern were construction hours, delay times and lengths, and periodic project information and updates. Other topics included property-specific-related design issues, utility undergrounding, post and rope fencing specifications, and roadway lighting, he said. A post and rope barrier will separate the pathway from the bike lane. Ramona Fire Department plans to store a reserve ambulance at Fire Station 81 in San Diego Country Estates during construction, said David Barnum, general manager of the Ramona Municipal Water District, which oversees the fire department.

Ramona High School's All Class Reunion, held annually since the 1970s, will be held on Sunday, Sept. 21, but in a new location. Traditionally held at the Ramona Outdoor Community Center, the reunion will be in Ramona Valley Grill, 344 Main St., from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The annual event, open to all who have ever attended Ramona High, was started by Dottie Richardson McIntosh (Ramona High Class of 1938), Ruth Richardson McIntosh (Class of 1936) and June Mykrantz Scarbery (Class of 1934). Organizers of the 2014 reunion ask Sentinel readers to "spread the word to friends and classmates to set this time aside to join us for a wonderful Sunday afternoon in Ramona." Among event coordinators are Leona Garrett (Class of 1958), Barbara Trumper and Sharon Warnock (Class of '59), and Tom Stephen (Class of '60).

Director walks out of water board meeting in protest Schildhouse says he doesn't receive fair treatment By KAREN BRAINARD Upgrades to the San Vicente wastewater treatment plant and Fire Station 81, both of which serve San Diego Country Estates (see sidebar), were recommended by the three Ramona Municipal Water District directors who sat through the entire Sept. 9 meeting, as one director walked out early following an angry encounter with board president Darrell Beck. It was the third or fourth meeting this year that Director Rex Schildhouse, who represents a portion of the Estates in his Division 3, walked out of a meeting after clashing with other directors. He told the Sentinel he did so in protest. Schildhouse said he does not receive fair treatment when it comes to comments and agenda topics. Five directors sit on the board, representing the fi ve divisions of the district but Division 2 Director Kit Kesinger has not attended a meeting since April 2013. The confrontation began when Schildhouse sought to comment on Director George Foote's agenda item regarding statements about the Poway Pump Station secondary power source funding. The project will bring a natural gas line to the pump station that serves Ramona. In a commentary that
Director Joe Zenovic wrote, published in the Sentinel's May 15 issue, he said: "This $2 million project comes at NO cost to the ratepayers." Since then, similar statements have been made by district staff. Schildhouse has argued that is incorrect as taxpayer dollars are funding the project. Foote said the property tax revenues are discretionary funds and if the pump station project was not built, "we would have allocated for another purpose." He suggested it would have been more accurate to say the pump station project was being built with no water rate increase or additional cost to customers. He pointed out that Schildhouse voted for the 201314 budget that allocated $1.9 million of property taxes for the project and the 2014-15 budget that earmarked $200,000 of property taxes to complete the secondary power source. "Put this to bed, once and for all," Foote said of the topic. Foote then credited Schildhouse for suggesting the board meet once a month instead of twice to save costs. The staff recommendation Aug. 12 was unanimously approved by the board. Schildhouse, who appeared to read from a prepared statement, said he believed Foote's agen-

house returned. He did not. After the break, Zenovic asked if it was appropriate for a director to sign a pay sheet before the meeting for the $100 stipend if he doesn't stay for the whole meeting. Beck addressed that question at the end of the meeting during "Items for Subsequent Meetings." Barnum suggested it could be discussed at an ad hoc committee meeting; however, Beck told the Sentinel the next day he would first research the matter.
da item was written to suppress comments. He noted that Foote recommended removing the "Directors' Comments" item from the end of each agenda. That action took place June 10 — Foote said "Directors' Comments" had become a bully pulpit for directors — and was approved 3-0 with Schildhouse voting "present." "It's more interesting that as we sit here," Schildhouse said last Tuesday, "members of Beck and the boys have unlimited privileges to speak —" His statement was interrupted by Beck hitting the gavel and saying, "That's enough, Mr. Schildhouse." Beck said Schildhouse was out of order and off topic, while Schildhouse deferred to Legal Counsel James Gilpin of Best Best & Krieger to see if he had the right to comment. Gilpin told Schildhouse he should keep his comments to the agenda item. Schildhouse responded that it was the agenda item and a director cannot ask questions unless "Beck and the boys" agree to have them answered. Beck again hit the gavel and told him he was out of order, but Schildhouse said he didn't care. "It's obvious you don't care," retorted Beck. "What are you going to do, fi re me?" asked Schildhouse. "You could resign. I'd be glad to take your resignation," Beck said. "No, you resign," Schildhouse said, adding as he walked out that Beck should follow the rules. Beck, who had called for a five-minute recess during the exchange, said the board would take the break to see if Schild-

Ramona Municipal Water District Division 5 Director George Foote discusses controversial statements about funding for the Poway Pump Station secondary power source project.
Water board moves forward on projects directors say will benefit Country Estates By KAREN BRAINARD More recycled water and increased storage at Fire Station 81 were two items approved by the water board that directors said will benefit San Diego Country Estates residents. Ramona Municipal Water District directors voted 3-0 Sept. 9 to authorize the district's general manager to execute a contract with Enaqua for a third reverse osmosis (RO) unit at the San Vicente wastewater treatment plant to generate more recycled water. Voting were directors George Foote, whose Division 5 covers a portion of the Estates, Joe Zenovic and board president Darrell Beck. Director Rex Schildhouse, representing Division 3, which also includes a portion of the Estates, was not present for the vote and Director Kit Kesinger was absent. Recycled water from the plant is used for landscape irrigation within the Estates, including irrigation of the San Vicente Golf Course and Spangler Ranch. The proposal for the third unit is $60,850, however funds of $250,000 were appropriated in the district's fiscal year 2014-15 budget for the design and construction of the project. General Manager David Barnum said the third unit will help to reduce the $300,000 brine hauling cost by about a third and the district should see a payback in a few years. "It's an opportunity for us to, I think, to listen to what folks in Country Estates are saying," said Barnum.
District staff said the design, submittal review, construction and delivery of the third RO unit will take 12 to 15 weeks from the date of approval. The board also authorized Barnum to enter into a professional services agreement with an architect for the Fire Station 81 apparatus bay extension project. "The apparatus has actually outgrown the bay," Ramona Fire Department Fire Marshal Steve Foster told the board. Foster said the project would add about 180 square feet to the station, which is at the east end of San Vicente Road in the Estates. Ten years ago the water board awarded a contract for architecture and design for Fire Stations 81 and 82 to Nicoloff & Associates Inc., but only 75 percent of the design for station 81 was completed before the remaining funding was used for station 82, said a district report to directors. The 2014-15 budget has appropriated $200,000 for station 81's project. Barnum said they hope to keep the costs down by hiring Nicoloff to finish the design. The proposal for design and construction support services is $40,162. For both projects staff noted that district code requires a competitive bidding process for contracts exceeding $35,000. Staff recommended waiving that requirement for the third RO unit because it must match the existing equipment, which was manufactured by Enaqua. Staff also recommended waiving the requirement for the architectural services.

Ramona Community Foundation Third Annual Grants Celebration Ramona Community Foundation will award $29,800 in grants to support programs and nonprofi t organizations in and serving the community at its Third Annual Grants Celebration on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 5 to 7 p.m. The 2014 grant announcements and celebration will be at Schwaesdall Winery, 17677 Rancho De Oro Road at state Route 67. The public is welcome, but, because space is limited and to assure suffi cient food and drinks, persons planning to attend must RSVP by Monday, Sept. 29, to Brittany Bailey at Brittanyb@sdfoundation.org or 619814-1363. The 2014 awards will bring the total grants for nonprofi ts serving the Ramona community to $84,450.00 in the past three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This special evening will be a chance for our members to celebrate awarding close to $85,000 to our community in a mere three years, while also building an endowment that will support emerging Ramona needs in perpetuity," said Wes Brustad, Ramona Community Foundation
chair. "It is also an opportunity for all of those who love Ramona to learn more about the Community Foundation and what it means to give back right here in our own community.â&#x20AC;? Through the power of pooled philanthropy, Ramona Community Foundation has funded programs such as emergency equipment for a Ramona CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) trailer, an art program for Ramona Elementary school students, programs at the Boys and Girls Club, a safety fence at The Grange, equipment for the Guy B. Woodward Museum, lighting equipment for Ramona High School and two programs that provide developmentally disabled children and returning veterans physical therapy through therapeutic horseback riding programs. RCF was founded in 2009 by Ramona community leaders to raise dollars in Ramona to support the community. All funds benefit Ramona residents and nonprofits serving Ramona programs and are tax-deductible. All grantmaking decisions are made by the Ramona residents who par-
ticipate. The foundation allows members to pool their resources to make an impact on the community through grants to benefit Ramona residents. Two charitable funds were created to serve the community through the RCF â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one for immediate grantmaking and the second as an endowment to serve needs in perpetuity. Individual and business members of the Ramona Community Foundation donate $1,000 a year and their membership dues are split between the two funds. This year, additional grant dollars come from the Matt McLaughlin Endowment Fund at The San Diego Foundation. The Matt McLaughlin Live Here, Give Here Matching Program, established to benefi t the North County region, allows the Ramona foundation to double its impact over the next three years by matching the grant portion of all membership dollars. Ramona Community Foundation is an affiliate of The San Diego Foundation. Foundation members are residents who want to ensure their charitable giving stays in Ramona.
Judge orders house arrest for injuring ex-girlfriend's boyfriend By NEAL PUTNAM A judge has ordered that a Ramona man who injured the new boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend should serve his 180day sentence under house arrest instead of jail. A 180-day term was ordered for Ricardo Daniel Macedo, 26, in August, and Macedo was screened to see if he could serve his sentence in a work furlough center, but a district attorney spokesperson said Sept. 11 that Macedo was not eligible for work furlough. El Cajon Superior Court Judge Laura Halgren ordered the sentence be served under house arrest. Macedo was placed on three years probation and ordered to
pay $1,620 in medical and dental expenses for the victim. Halgren gave Macedo credit for serving one day in jail following the Nov. 24, 2013, incident in which the 23-yearold victim was kicked and beaten. The victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car was stolen where he was attacked in the 2400 block of Main Street and it was recovered not far from where Macedo lived. On July 8, Macedoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplice, Elias Rafael Ruiz, 26, also of Ramona, was placed on three years probation with credit for four days previously spent in jail. Both men pleaded guilty in June to felony assault and Macedo also pleaded guilty to auto theft. Halgren ordered them both to share the restitution order.

pharmacist, worked with the sheriff's department to start the program in 2006, and Ramona Kiwanis, with support from the community, fi nances the program with the cooperation of the sheriff's station in Ramona. Kiwanis member Charlie Teichert Jr., Kiwanis Project Lifesaver coordinator, recently learned from sheriff's Deputy Kimberly Foote that equipment upgrades are needed. "Project Lifesaver International has upgraded the equipment, so we need to do the same," said Teichert. "We needed $6,250." Two receivers, at a cost of $1,470 each, were needed, as was other operational equipment, he said. Major donors to the effort were: â&#x20AC;˘Ramona Food and Clothes Closet, $2,550, â&#x20AC;˘Robert Krysak, $1,470, â&#x20AC;˘Zick Family Trust, $500, and â&#x20AC;˘Paul Tarr and Family, $500. Teichert and his wife, Sandy, donated $100, and Teichert challenged other Kiwanians to do the same. Kiwanis members donating $100 each were John Whiteman, Richard Wade, Mary Halliday, and Darrell Beck. "The balance will come from Kiwan-

is," said Teichert, explaining that the club budgets $1,000 each year for Project Lifesaver. The system provides radio frequency wristbands to children and adults with autism, Down syndrome, Alzheimer's or dementia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; "those who may tend to wander from their homes," said Teichert. "The recovery rate for a person missing with this system is less than 30 minutes." Members of the sheriff's volunteer team "play a big part in running the program," noted Teichert. "Every month they go to the various users' homes and change the batteries and test the equipment." Foote is the Ramona deputy trained in the use and operation of all the electronic equipment associated with the system, he added. The number of people using Project Lifesaver in Ramona varies from two to 10, depending on the need, said Teichert. If a person with a wristband wanders from home, the sheriff's department gets a call to activate the system, he said. For more information about the program, contact Foote at the sheriff's Ramona station at 760-789-9157. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Maureen Robertson

Former franchisee thrives as independent business owner By JESSICA KING It’s been 15 years since Elmer Vires bought his Main Street business as Big O Tires. In January 2010, his lease with the franchise ran out and the business went independent, taking on the new name of Traction Tire & Service Center. It’s a decision he’s never had to regret. “The main thing is we’re able to offer a more complete line of tires,” said Vires. “We’re also able to price more competitively in the marketplace.” One thing that didn’t change with the switch was the business’ commitment to customer service. “We’ve always tried to focus on customer service,” said Vires, adding that, if anyone pulls up to one of the shop’s service bays, an employee is usually able to greet that person within a minute or less to offer a free air pressure check — even if that person has no inten-

least know. (Air pressure) affects so much … safety, gas mileage, wear and tear on a vehicle … and hopefully once people know that, they will be more inclined to keep an
eye on it.” Traction Tire has been a seven-daya-week shop since the spring of 2000. Vires said that the reason his is Ramona’s only tire and service center open on Sun-

The highlight was a dining room mural of the city 200 years earlier. One look and she called her photographer into the conversation. The next morning’s front page saw me in a lengthy article standing next to the mural. The headline read “Home with view for sale.” My real estate agent called me late morning with a simple question: “Every Realtor within 30 miles has a client who wants that house. How did you do that?” The answer was simple: I personalized my marketing
amount of time. He welcomes his customers to share their opinions on review sites, such as Yelp. Vires understands not every review will be a home run for his business but said that’s to be expected, especially in the auto repair industry, because customers don’t always understand what’s involved. For example, a reviewer who may complain about the wait time may not realize all the safety protocol that goes into the work. Vires said he would much rather lose a customer than rush a job and send a customer off in an unsafe vehicle. Traction Tire & Service Center is in the Kmart shopping center at 1811 Main St. It is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays.

I once owned a Revolutionary Era home in Westfield, Mass. Eventually we listed the home for sale. Our real estate agent located the buyer we’d aced out eight years earlier. His excitement at fi nally getting his dream house was evident during the inspection as his entire family tagged along, planning Christmas for their grandchild about to be born. Holy Norman Rockwell! With escrow in hand, we started our new lives 100 miles away. Then the buyer died. Seriously! To jump-start the selling process, I contacted the local newspaper’s editor. Knowing she liked antique homes, I invited her to visit

days is because he wants to be available whenever it’s most convenient for his customers. Another way Vires strives to meet his customers’ needs is by carrying more than 1,000 tires in stock and, in most cases, offering a 24-hour turnaround service for tires he may have to special order. In addition to tires, the business offers brakes, shocks, struts and nitrogen. Traction Tire aims to serve Ramona, Julian and other surrounding areas. Traction Tire employs a total of nine full- and part-time employees, including some who have been with the business since 2005. When it comes to adapting the business to today’s ever-changing technology, Vires said it’s a love-hate kind of thing.

A tradition started approximately 30 years ago as a fundraiser to build Ramona United Methodist Church continues as a community event. "The church was built and we still continue to have our turkey dinner for the Ramona community," the Rev. Val Weise, the congregation's pastor, states in an announcement for this year's dinner. The congregation offers the dinner as a free "Mission Dinner" to any hungry person in Ramona. Take-out dinners go to those who are unable to get to the Ramona Community Center, where the meal is served. "We feed people who have been referred to us by the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet, Head Start, In His Steps Ministry, Michael's House and other local churches," said Weise. Ticket prices are $12 for adults and $8 for children age 6 and younger. "We try to keep our ticket prices as low as possible, so the general public is able to afford to take their families out for a dinner," noted Weise. "A complete dinner is served, including seconds if anyone would like more food."
The congregation seeks donations to help cover the cost of the meals given to those in need. Weise said they are grateful for past support from the community, "and we could use your assistance by contributing a financial donation to assist us in purchasing tickets for those in need." The goal this year is to serve 550 meals. Of those, approximately 300 will be free. The total food price is about $2,500. Due to costs, the congregation was able to give away only about 150 meals the past two years. "We hope that you can assist us in making sure that any needy family can share in this meal at no cost," said Weise. Donations may be sent to Ramona United Methodist Church, 3394 Chapel Lane, Ramona, CA 92065. The church's nonprofit ID number is 95-3825561. The traditional turkey dinner will be served from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9, in the community center, 434 Aqua Lane. Tickets will be available at the door and also are available at the church office.

Congressman Duncan D. Hunter will help Intermountain Republican Women Federated kick off the 2014-15 season on Monday, Sept. 22. The meeting also will be Intermountain's main scholarship fundraiser for students and community needs. In addition to several baskets for the fundraiser will be numerous opportunity drawings. Schwaesdall Winery at 1767 Rancho De Oro Drive off state Route 67, will be the setting for the event, which will start with social time at 5 p.m. The meeting will begin at 5:45. Those attending should bring a flashlight. Hunter represents California's 50th Congressional District, which includes Ramona and other
communities in East and North County. He is seeking re-election in the November election. In 2008, Hunter was elected to his first term in the House of Representatives, succeeding his father, Duncan L. Hunter, who retired after 14 consecutive terms in Congress. Soon after the United States was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, Hunter quit his job and joined the U.S. Marine Corps. He entered active service as a lieutenant in 2002 and excelled in the area of fi eld artillery, much like his grandfather, Robert O. Hunter, who was a Marine Corps artillery officer in World War II. During his service career, Hunter served three

erations in Fallujah, Iraq. In September 2005, four years after he quit his job to join the Marine Corps, Hunter was honorably discharged from active military service and started a residential development company. Still a Marine Reservist, he was promoted to the rank of captain in 2006 and to the rank of major in 2012. Less than two years before Hunter was elected, he was recalled to active duty and deployed to Afghanistan. He returned home after approximately six months on the front lines and became the first Marine combat veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan elected to Congress.

OPINION
Support school bond; let district focus on education By CHERYL GARDNIER My husband, myself and our two youngest daughters were living in a less than ideal neighborhood and within a matter of months my oldest would be starting school. I was concerned about what that experience would be for her. I knew that this was a defining moment in our lives and that it would lay groundwork for my children’s educational future. After much research and nearly deciding on moving to Austin, Texas, we happened upon a community right here in San Diego County. The schools were rated high, the neighborhood was relatively crime free, and the people were — different. It was a no-brainer. Several months later, we were living in Ramona. That was nearly 10 years ago. Since moving here, I have been blessed with two more children for a total of four. We now attend three schools in the Ramona Unified School District and my mornings are quite busy driving back and forth. What I feel makes Ramona so amazing is the fact that everybody knows everybody and that, at a moment’s notice, you can call any number of people to help pick up your kids or grab something from “down the hill.” The people of Ramona excel at one thing the rest of the world has forgotten about — our neighbors! We care about our neighbors and their children. It truly is the proverbial village that raises our children. Ramona has been a huge blessing for our family because, unlike any other place in San Diego County, there is a sense of true community and the love of family and children that truly is unheard of elsewhere. These amazing Ramona values — community involvement and the community family which pushes our youth to better themselves — are what I hope to instill in my own kids. I pray they take that value forward with them into their adult years. It is this thought process of being part of something bigger than themselves that allows them and us to be more. It is through us today — as you in the past have shown — that they will look for ways to improve their communities, their neighborhoods, and the world around them. This is how I view the proposed school bond, Measure Q. I hope you will stand with me and vote “Yes” on something that is so much bigger than yourself. Give our community as a whole the chance to See GARDNIER COMMENTARY page B5

Vote Yes on Measure Q By JOYCE DAUBERT Measure Q will give Ramona residents an opportunity to put our money where our mouth is. We say we love our beautiful, rural community and the advantages of clean air and clear views. We say we support the charm of our small businesses and shop locally. We say we love our kids and want to provide them with every opportunity for happiness as children and success as adults. We can say good-bye to all this unless we stand up in November and vote YES on Measure Q. Some residents say they don’t trust the school board to spend the $40 million Measure Q will generate as promised. They can join the Citizens Oversight Committee to assure the promise is fulfilled. Some residents say they prefer a state takeover of the Ramona district rather than pay more taxes. Ramona will take decades to recover from a state takeover. Ramona Sentinel welcomes letters to the editor. The writer’s name, address, and daytime telephone number must be submitted. Only the writer’s name and
Imagine the decline in property values compared to the cost of Measure Q at $39 per $100,000 assessed property value. Imagine turning over local control of our schools to the state. Imagine the decline in school enrollment when families prefer buying homes in school districts that are supported and run by their community rather than the state. Is that the Ramona where we want to live? Our schools are the glue that binds our rural community. Measure Q will restore our school district to sound financial footing and will provide funds to refurbish and repair our aging school buildings. Whether you have children in our Ramona schools, whether you own Ramona property, you have the power to sustain our community and make Ramona thrive. Vote YES on Measure Q.

Outstanding Agents. Outstanding Results.® Cal BRE# 01290950
Creating a new normal By NANCY SAPPER A Friday during football season came and went. I arrived at Bulldog stadium about 4:30 p.m., put on my RBBC (Ramona Bulldog Booster Club) president hat and made sure the Booster Club volunteers had things well in hand. Of course they did. Lisa Burger had her staff of volunteers working like a well-oiled machine. Lorri Rieve and Pam Scodellaro had ensured we would have enough volunteers to provide an excellent experience for fans’ Ramona Friday Night Lights home opener. I was filled with gratitude as I saw so many volunteers from so many different groups in my life. There were teachers and alumni working in the snack bar (Lisa and Cassidy Shields, Joyce Hirsh), there were families from Boy Scouts (Laurie and Bill Stevens), there was my son’s senior prom date’s mom (Angie Hagan) just willing to do what she could to make Ramona proud and to give a little back.There was Diane MacKay, whose son no longer plays football, but rather baseball, selling snack bar tickets. Connie Kruse, a member of my tennis team, was there, too, just to lend a hand. Of course, Joan Snelling was on her ticket booth perch handing out season passes. Leighanne Kerchner was manning the pass gate. Jackie Broussard and Bob Verhoest were providing security and a smile. New snack shack lead Nicolle Caudillo was running on all cylinders inside the food epicenter for the night. Jennifer Johnson had made FOUR pulled pork roasts and they were amazing, as usual. Darby Vorce had assembled a
beautiful program, containing amazing photographs by Doug Sooley. Bill Stevens, Kensey Sapper, Brittany Vargas, the ladies at the front gate and Don McKay made sure the programs were available to everyone for purchase. Don spent most of the night, when he could have been just watching his daughter, Kinley, cheer, walking up and down every aisle in the stadium to sell the fans a program. And sell he did. We nearly sold out! Every dollar spent on the programs goes back into the Booster Club grant money pot, benefiting all clubs and teams on campus. I visited the booth, made sure the coaches had a little food and drink for the long night ahead. Some of the faces had changed from last year, but the genuine appreciation that someone took the time to check on them had not. Knowing that everything was well in hand, I made my way up to the reserved seat section to watch some football. As I made my way to Row R, Seat 29, I saw many of the same faces. It was just as it had been the past four seasons. I was greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey (their son, Brent, is the defensive coordinator and their grandson, Dane, is a senior on the team). I saw the Papps Family (their alumni son is coaching this year and their daughter is a Bulldog Angel), the Vargas family had moved closer, so that Becca and I could actually do contact high fives instead of the air high fives we’d been doing the past two seasons from two sections away. We superstitiously have to high five every time kicker Tyler Vargas makes a score. Some nights it’s quite the workout. My closest friends, See SAPPER COMMENTARY page B6

Sapper commentary From page B5
Matt Dart and Kim Schramm, were on either side of me. I was ready for some football. Although the Bulldogs had played two games already, this was the first time the 2014 football team played at home. As game time approached, it all seemed familiar as the Bulldog blue jerseys sprinted out of the tunnel. As the game began, I got the sinking feeling that all was not as it had been. Ramona was the receiving team, so of course there was number 7 Binkley, and number 2, Garrett Dart — no wait, Brett Cooper, and 56, Michael Hastings — oops, I mean Griffin Winter, number 30 Matt Lawler — wait, there’s another Crichlow, Keyno? No TBone? No Kerchner? No Drews? Worst of all, Karl Sapper was no longer out on the field; number 51 was now Oscar Reyes. As humans, we hate change. As a fan of the Ramona Bulldogs football team, I had to face the fact that all my favorites, save this year’s seniors, were no longer
a part of my Friday Night Lights experience. Gone were the boys and the families I had known through my son’s high school experience. By the end of the night, I had some new favorites and cheered for the home team, who played an amazing game. Much like sending your baby off to college, where you learn to move forward, adapt and create a new normal with them gone, I will need to apply those same principles to my new normal on Game Night at Ramona High School. I will need to learn new names, new numbers, new faces. But I am still counting the days until Thanksgiving when numbers 2, 9, 20, 30, 40, 56 and especially 51 are standing in my kitchen eating waffles and watching football on a Sunday morning. Nancy Sapper, Ramona Bulldog Booster Club president, is adjusting to Friday Night Lights without her son, Karl, who played the past four years on the Ramona team and is attending the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Six businesses display painted wine barrels for annual Ramona Art and Wine Festival In preparation for the second annual Ramona Art and Wine Festival, wine barrels painted by area artists are on display at six Ramona businesses. The wine barrels will be auctioned at the festival at the historic Amy Strong Castle at Mt. Woodson on Saturday, Nov. 1, from noon to 5 p.m. The colorful barrels depict various mini-murals from Ramona-specific pastoral scenes to distinctive designs. “These hand-painted wine barrels offer a special piece of art to show off at your home or business,” said S. Elaine Lyttleton, founder and president of The Mural Project and chair of the Ramona Art and Wine Festival. Interested viewers can
see the unique barrels at Antique Fair, 734 Main St.; Bella Mia Salon & Spa, 745 Main St.; D’Carlos Restaurant, 1347 Main St.; Ramona Ranch Winery, 23578 Highway 78; Salerno Winery, 17948 Highway 67; and San Vicente Resort, 24157 San Vicente Road. Artists who painted the wine barrels are David Billick, Jeri Billick, Lynette Bredow, Liz Boggeln, Linda Kelly and Jonathan Martinez.

Arts Unlimited collaborates with professional troupe Ramona Council of Arts, Unlimited and Faith JensenIsmay are again collaborating, said Jill Bacorn of Arts Unlimited. "It’s been a decade since Arts Unlimited produced Summer Dancin’ in partnership with Ramona school district and San Diego Dance Theater for 20 summers of dance instruction and performance in Ramona," said Bacorn.

With Mojalet’s mission to reach out into other communities and Arts Unlimited’s mission to provide instruction and perfor-
mance opportunities to the community of Ramona, they are offering classes. This year's instructor is Sadie Ismay, providing instruction in contemporary dance with a twist of jazz and hip hop. “We hope to pass the dance legacy on to the next generation, both with the Ismays and with Ramona dancers,” said Jensen-Ismay. “We are very excited to offer this opportunity to collaborate with Mojalet, provide more performances and connect with a large dance community,” said Bacorn. Registration for these and other classes will be at Jill’s Dance Studio, 101 Eighth St., from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18. More information is at artsunlimitedramona.org or 760-522-8098.

RHS graduate Lon Sierra makes film debut Author Trenace Rose in 'The Mendoza Line' showing in Encinitas to discuss, sign book Lon Sierra, Ramona High School Class of 1987 graduate, makes his ďŹ lm debut in "The Mendoza Line," which will have its San Diego County premiere in the La Paloma Theater in Encinitas on Saturday, Sept. 20. Sierra, son of Kathy and Raphael "Joe" Sierra, gained his earliest acting experience as a member of the Ramona Town Hall Players, starring as the hero in "The Mark of the Masked Man" in the summer of 1980. During his years in the Ramona school district, Sierra played many acting rolls in the Ramona High School drama group, including the villain in "Arsenic and Old Lace" and Hildy Johnson in "The Front Page." In his ďŹ lm debut, Sierra plays the part of the minor league baseball coach Phil Pichette, who is mentor to the minor league players, including Ricardo Perez.
Perez, a young aspiring baseball player, was brought to the United States at age 5, but his immigration status was never legalized. The movie brings to the forefront the struggles of a family whose immigration status through no fault of their own is constantly jeopardized. After Ramona High School, Sierra participated in community theater at Palomar College and in Temecula. Until the recession about seven years ago, he operated a construction business. When the economy affected his business, he and his wife Jill talked about what they could do and decided he would return to acting to see if he could make a career of it, his mother said. Since then he's been in television commercials and corporate videos and print marketing, and modeled. "The whole family's involved in modeling," his mother said.
He and Jill live in Oceanside with their three children: Dezra, 13, Levi, 10, and Lola, 8. The family of ďŹ ve did a commercial for a popular brand of sport shoe. The children have also been bitten by the acting bug and are in the drama ministry of Calvary Chapel, their grandmother said. And Jill has a bit part as a TV reporter in "The Mendoza Line." Sierra has been in King Stahlman Bail Bonds TV commercials, training videos for Toyota and print marketing for Palomar Health. He also is in the process of producing a short ďŹ lm. "He's done extremely well," said his mother, adding, "You can go through the Ramona school district and accomplish wonderful things." La Paloma Theater is at 471 S. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas. The movie will start at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Maureen Robertson

Rose states in her book.

On a hot and humid Friday evening, the Ramona Bulldogs beat the Grossmont Foothillers 45-27 before a large crowd on Pop Warner Night at the Dawg Pound. This brings their record to 3-0 on the season. The Bulldogs' offensive and defensive teams were able to shore up most previously seen cracks, enabling them to dominate Grossmontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team from the line of scrimmage. The team did experience some heat-related issues such as cramping and heat exhaustion on a night that never seemed to cool off.
The no-huddle offense the Foothillers showed the Dawgs did not help matters, either. Ramona

Spikers score Watsonville Tournament win By JOE NAIMAN
Sentinel photo/Doug Sooley
Amanda Donais takes aim to wallop the ball during Ramona's winning match against San Marcos.
Ramona High School girls volleyball team won the Watsonville Tournament on Saturday and will travel to San Dieguito Academy for a match on Sept. 25. Five of this year's varsity players were on the 2013 varsity squad. One of them, outside hitter Robyn Arthur, is the 2014 team's only senior. The Bulldogs also have two juniors, fi ve sophomores and two freshmen. Practice began Aug. 11, and the team participated in six-team scrimmages Aug. 27 at Escondido High School and Sept. 3 at Mt. Carmel High School. During practice on Sept. 8, starting libero Sydney Hickle was injured, keeping her out of the Bulldogs' opening match Sept. 10 at home against San Marcos. After a short adjustment period, the Bulldogs defeated the Knights in three games. "Game one we started out kind of slow," said head coach Connie Halfaker. "We kind of found
our rhythm midway through. We picked up our game and actually started to play much better and did a pretty good job of doing the basics that we've been working on." Ramona opened the Watsonville Tournament on Sept. 13 against Anzar High School, which is in San Juan Bautista. The Bulldogs beat the Hawks by 25-20 scores in both games. In the fi rst game Halfaker tested Hickle at the right back position. Her response indicated recovery from her injury, allowing Halfaker to use a back row of Hickle on the left, Arthur in the middle and Katie Flinn on the right for the second game. Arthur combined with front row middle blocker Natalie Seol for attacks. "They were placing the ball where the defense was not," Halfaker said. Those attacks were orchestrated by setter Sammy Shupe. "She was changing the flow of the game," Halfaker said. Ramona followed that victory
with a 26-15, 26-24 triumph over North Salinas. "We just were on a roll," Halfaker said. The Bulldogs closed out pool play against Monte Vista Christian, which is in Watsonville. "Monte Vista Christian was a disciplined team," Halfaker said. "We went out and we went down early in game one, but all of a sudden we started playing at a bit of a higher level. The girls were putting to use things they were only able to accomplish in practice to that point." Ramona's 25-22 victory in game one was followed by a 25-16 triumph at the Mustangs' expense. The victory over all three pool opponents gave the Bulldogs first place in the pool. Ramona's next match was a playin contest against King City, which is also called the Mustangs. "We stepped in to play them and just were missing serves," Halfaker said. "All of a sudden we're down 9 points." That allowed a 25-21 King City See VOLLEYBALL page B13

victory in the first game. "We were really coming back into our stride by the end of the first game," Halfaker said. Ramona was on the preferred end of the 2515 and 15-8 scores of the next two games to earn a semifinal match against Terra Nova of Pacifica. Terra Nova presented a new problem for the Bulldogs, specifically a noticeably talented player. "We started blocking her," Halfaker said. The Bulldogs turned a 24-21 deficit in the first game into a 26-24 victory before advancing to the finals with a 25-23 win at
the Tigers' expense. "They were just playing like they were seniors out there," Halfaker said. "It was a pretty fun match, a good battle." South San Francisco was Ramona's last obstacle to the championship. "They also had a particularly talented player," Halfaker said. The Warriors took a 9-point lead in the first game. "We missed maybe five out of our first seven serves," Halfaker said. The Bulldogs eventually tied the game, as "the girls started battling," Halfaker said. Ramona took a 24-23
anywhere near his cornerback vicinity. He also put the special in special teams with fi ve punt returns for 103 yards, including a 60-yard return for a touchdown to open the second half. The home team came out strong in the first series, setting the pace for the game early on, never falling behind for the rest of the game. On the fi rst possession of the game, Cobian faked a handoff, scrambled, then found Christian Dominguez over the middle for a 56-yard gain. Gansch then advanced the ball on a pitch-out followed by a run up the middle. The series culminated in a Cobian-Dylan Shields connection for a touchdown. Baldwin was pleased with the effort on the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kids are warriors the way they just kept on battling and playing,â&#x20AC;? said Baldwin. He also named his defensive coaching staff of Harvey, Boykins, Clark, Cobian and Calkins for
the precise execution of a well laid out plan against a tough Grossmont team. Tyler Vargas boomed seven of eight kickoffs through the end zone for touchbacks in the game. His punt total was 475 yards with his longest measuring 60 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vargas put almost all the kickoffs in the end zone," said Baldwin. "This is a huge part of the overall yardage game that helps teams win; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hidden yardage,â&#x20AC;? meaning Vargasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to take away another teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good starting field position is a great weapon for the Bulldogs. If it is a touchback, there is no opportunity for a runback. The opposing team starts on its own 20 yard line every time. Defensively, the brothers Crichlow dominated the Foothillers. Keyno, a junior, had four solo tackles and six assists. Keyshaun, a senior, had four solos, fi ve assists and a tackle for loss of yardage. Grady Vazquez contributed with 4.5 tackles as did Dallas Domnitz

lead before the Warriors staved off game point. The Bulldogs eventually prevailed by a 27-25 margin. A 25-18 victory in the second game sealed the tournament championship for Ramona. "We learned that we could play with the big girls and we have no fear," Halfaker said. "We are going to respond." The Bulldogs improved their season record to 7-0. "They played like a team that's been playing together for a couple of years," Halfaker said. "All 10 kids were in in enabling this to happen."

Cross country teams bring home three first-place plaques Plendcio, Meskell win races By JOE NAIMAN The Mustang Invitational cross country meet at Rohr Park in Chula Vista on Friday ended with Ramona High School boys Gabe Plendcio and Matt Meskell winning their races and head coach Sherri Edwards taking three of the four first-place Silver Division plaques to Ramona along with a third-place team plaque. "It was great," Edwards said. This Saturday the Bulldogs will compete in the Mt. Carmel/Movin' Shoes Cross Country Invitational meet at Morley Field in San Diego. The races will be based on grade level. The Mustang Invitational meet had a Blue Division for larger schools and a
Silver Division for smaller schools with varsity and junior varsity races for each gender in each division. Ramona's varsity boys, varsity girls and junior varsity boys all won first place, and the junior varsity girls placed third. "I was pretty excited," Edwards said. "We've been running hard and we've been training in heat, so their hard work has definitely paid off." The top 35 finishers in each varsity race received medals, as did the top 30 finishers in each junior varsity competition. Twelve of Ramona's 14 varsity runners and 12 of the 15 JV harriers took home position medals. The participants on the first-place teams received an additional medal.
In the girls varsity race, Ramona's 82 points were the lowest total among the 19 teams. Valley Center placed second with 83 points. "That was exciting, since they're in our league," said Edwards. The Bulldogs and Jaguars are in the Valley League with Fallbrook, Mission Hills, Oceanside and Orange Glen. The varsity girls ran on a 2.2-mile course. Ramona junior Perla Cruz had a time of 15:04 to place sixth among the 103 runners, Anna Sundrud was eighth at 15:10, Gwendolyn Gibson had a 13thplace time of 15:26, Chloe Knowd completed the race in 16:11 for 24th place, Marissa Talle captured the 35th and final medal position for her 16:35 performance, Katherine Lorentz

was the 43rd finisher at 17:02, and Kim Klarer had a time of 17:53, which was 61st place. The 106 varsity boys runners utilized a 3.1mile course. Ramona's 33 points were followed by the 68-point total of Valley Center. "They killed Valley Center," Edwards said. Plendcio, a junior, won the race in 16:52 and edged out teammate Max Edwards, whose secondplace time was 16:53. Fourth place went to Isaiah Spieker, who raced for 17:00. Plendcio, Edwards and Spieker ran together for the first two miles. "I always want the kids to run together," Sherri Edwards said.

CARLSBAD COASTAL CLASSIC CHAMPIONS—Ramona's Arsenal FC BU16 team ends summer competition with the 2014 Carlsbad Coastal Classic crown. Back row: David Parsons, Abraham Ceballos, Eli Katke, Ethan Parsons, Danny Edwards, Antonio Valdes, Hunter Gurrola, Salvador Castro, Carson Charbonneau and Candelario Dinero. Front Row: Mario Gonzales, Edgar Valdes, Koscanny Luna, Jason Beals, Manny Reyes, Manny Velasco and Cooper Smith.
Arsenal FC BU16 earns championship crown A successful summer culminated in Ramona’s Arsenal Futbol Club boys under 16 team being crowned champions of the 2014 Carlsbad Coastal Classic. Arsenal FC BU16 went undefeated against the Del Mar Sharks, Encinitas Express, Carlsbad United, and Albion Premier San Diego. “This was a hard fought and well-deserved championship because all summer we have challenged some of the best of Southern California and Utah," said coach
David Parsons. "It’s great to be champions. Too often we fell in tie-breaking shootouts, which are a throw of the dice.” Of the tournaments competed in this summer, the team made the semifinals in the Arsenal Spring Classic, Arsenal Summer Classic and Tournament of Champions, to lose only in penalty kick shootouts each time. Parsons, who also serves as director of coaches for the club, stated that the team recently moved up to the AAA level and is now playing in College
Showcase tournaments with the goal of exposing the players to as many college opportunities as possible. Many of the players also hope to represent the community at the high school varsity level soon. On the team are Daniel Edwards, Antonio Valdes, Edgar Valdes, Mario Gonzales, Salvador Castro, Jason Beals, Abraham Ceballos, Carson Charbonneau, Hunter Gurrola, Elijah Kattke, Koscanny Luna, Ethan Parsons, Emmanuel Reyes, Cooper Smith, Manuel Velasco.
League golf starts for RHS girls on Tuesday On Sept. 9, the Ramona girls avenged their loss to Westview by beating the Wolverines in a close match, 248250, at Morgan Run. Ramona's Rachel Costan was the medalist with a 46. Of the 14 girls on the team, four are returning varsity players. Rathbun said he plans to do some rotating among the players as only six compete in a match with the top five scores counting. "My hope is that they can all break 50 at some point," said Rathbun. The Bulldog girls also competed in practice rounds against San Pasqual on Sept. 11 and Mission Hills on Sept. 17. —Karen Brainard

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neu-
rons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. The Barona Band of

Mission Indians, recognized by the U.S. government as a sovereign nation, has lived on the Barona Indian Reservation off Wildcat Canyon Road between Ramona and Lakeside since 1932. Prior to that, the tribe lived on the Capitan Grande Reservation, which the federal government established in 1875. Long before living on a reservation, the tribe traveled across Southern California in tune with the seasons and what nature provided. Today, a tribal council governs the sovereign nation.

The Daniel Alexander Ramona Pop Warner Scholarship Fund donated $1,200 on Aug. 16 to help pay registration fees for four boys to play Pop Warner football the 2014 season. This scholarship fund began in 2012 and has given $6,200 to date to Ramona Pop Warner in remembrance of the late Daniel Alexander. In a ceremony in 2012, Ramona Pop Warner retired Alexander's jersey, No. 48. His parents, Bruce and Debbie Steingraber, said they hope that the scholarship fund will help those less fortunate play the game of football that their son loved so much.

Parents pack Ramona High for Back-to-School night By JESSICA KING
Parents arrive for Back-to-School night at Ramona High School on Sept. 9.
English teacher Erin Hall talks about what students will cover in her class this year. At right is Michael Minor, also an English teacher at RHS.
The tables turned at Ramona High School last Tuesday evening as hundreds of parents packed the campus for a glimpse at their children’s daily routine. Back-to-School night is an annual affair that always draws a good turnout at Ramona High, according to Principal Chris King. “The goal for the evening is for parents to leave with answers to their questions and knowing how to get answers to future questions,” said King. “It's all about establishing clear processes and open lines of communication.” Back-to-School night lasted for about two hours, with teachers spending around 10 minutes per period also talking about their backgrounds and expectations. Events such as Back-toSchool night are a critical step in helping students be successful, said King. The event is so important that Ramona High administrators decided to minimize other afterschool activities Tuesday night so that parents could focus their time and attention on classroom presentations. “Research confirms again and again that involved parents have high achieving students,” said King.

By KAREN BRAINARD A group of high school students are not only earning community service hours for school as they volunteer at Ramona Library, but they are learning responsibilities as well. "What we're trying to do is prepare them for leadership roles," Ramona Library Branch Manager Ellie Slade said of the Teen Action Council (TAC) program. "These are life skills... we treat it like a job," added librarian Charlotte King-Mills. The Teen Action Council is an organized group with student officers that meets once a month, however, members spend a certain number of hours each week volunteering at the library. Slade said their schedules are dependent on school and library events. Among some of their duties are assisting with classes and special library events, book shelving, working on the bulletin board, and helping elderly residents with computer skills and elementary students with homework.

Those attending the Teen Action Council meeting, followed by their school grade, are clockwise from left: Nikki Lucchese, 10th, Abisai Lopez, 12th, Francisco Silva, 12th, Marcellina DiGiovanni, 11th, Alicia Harrington, 12th, Stephanie Kovach, 12th, Kimberly Salazar, 12th, Annette Burns, 11th, Henry Ling, 11th, Sayid Alsoraimi, 10th, Cameron Zamora, 9th, and Cesar Camena, 12th.
King-Mills recently joined the library staff, substituting for librarian Cecilia Salgado who is on leave and oversaw the teen group. "She has inherited a bunch of very talented teens," Slade said. The two librarians described the TAC members as being very focused on going to college, having lofty goals, and going beyond what is required. King-Mills said the teens suggested bringing in an instructor for ACT or SAT test preparation during the Oct. 12 teen
read week. The library will sponsor the instructor, said Slade, and the test prep will probably be held twice a week for four weeks. The class will be free, she said, and TAC will distribute information once plans are formalized. During the TAC Sept. 12 meeting, the group discussed the differences between the ACT and the SAT college admission tests with the seniors offering advice to younger members. Mountain Valley Academy High School senior
Francisco Silva, who handles social outreach for the teen board, said he was taking the ACT test the next day. The older students also talked about what colleg-

Salazar told the students that if they need any photos when applying for scholarships, they can use ones on the Facebook page. "It makes it easier," she said. The officers also ran through requirements to be on the Teen Action Council. Students must have at least a 2.0 grade point average, and they must meet a 20-hour minimum of service hours. TAC vice president Alicia Harrington, an RHS senior, advised: "If you're going to work here, have a library card." According to Slade, during the three years the library has implemented the TAC program, about 150 students have been involved. She said it was a goal of all library branches in the San Diego County system to have a program to mentor teens and treat their responsibilities like a job.

MAIN STREET, EL CAJON, CA. Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $467,575.39. WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, 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, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 24935 Abalar Way, Ramona, CA 92065 A.P.N.: 288-594-24-00. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $467,575.39. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason,
the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 this 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.

Although temps eventually reached as high as 101 degrees, most of the games were played before noon during what was considered the cooler part of the day. “We kept a close eye on the forecast and made sure the kids weren’t playing in dangerous conditions,” said RSL vice president David Williams. “We did cancel all doubleheader games so that no teams had to place twice. We’re glad the temps weren’t so extreme that we had to cancel all the games. It was great to see how the kids made the best of a toasty situation.” In addition to the extra water breaks provided by the referees, youngsters and parents found many creative ways to stay
