San Diego Association of Governments has approved the final 2014 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) that includes several road improvement projects for Ramona. The regional agency's board voted 15-0 on the transportation plan. In the transportation plan, which will cover Fiscal Years 2015-2019, projects funded with money from the TransNet halfcent sales tax include the intersection of state Route 67, High-
land Valley and Dye roads; the extensions of Dye Road and Ramona Street; and the San Vicente Road widening. The Route 67 and Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection experiences traffic congestion on a regular basis. The regional association of governments, the county, and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) are working to fund improvements. The plan for the intersection includes double left-turn lanes on Dye Road and Highland Valley Road and double through lanes with dedicated right-turn
lanes on Highway 67, traffic signal modifi cations, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Caltrans has indicated that it will fund the preliminary design and environmental review, and SANDAG and county staff are discussing how to obtain the rest of the funding. The $7.7 million of TransNet funds included in the regional plan consists of $2.3 million for right-of-way and $5.4 million for construction, and allocates $1.8 million during Fiscal Year 2014-15, $2.86 million for 2015-16, and $3 million in 2016-17.
Plans also call for extending Dye Road between Ramona Street and San Vicente Road. The two-lane community collector road will have intermittent turn lanes, bicycle lanes, a pathway and walkway, and curbs and gutters. The $14 million project consists of $1.5 million for project engineering, $2.3 million for right-of-way, and $10.2 million for construction. Prior-year expenditures account for $1.5 million of the cost. The county exSee ROAD PROJECTS page A2

Three people have pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the stabbing death of former Ramona resident Michael “Gabe� Hallmann in 2012 and all will be sentenced Oct.17. Court documents show that both men, Francisco Jose Arellano, 33, and Michael Vincent Reyes, 31, will get agreed upon prison terms of 18 years each. Nicole Anna Ibarra, 37, also known as Nicole Olmos, will receive a three-year term. Court documents say that both men will have to serve 85 percent of the 18-year term and specifi es the exact sentence to be 15 years, three months and 18 days. San Diego Superior Court Judge Jeff Fraser, who conducted the preliminary hearing a year ago this month and had ordered them all to stand trial, dropped a murder charge against each of them. Their trial date had been set for Sept. 30, the
Ramona Community Planning Group members voted Oct. 2 to add a road drainage project for Arena Drive to its Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Priority List with the county. The move came after county maintenance engineers inspected drainage issues at the intersection of Arena Drive and Benito Way in San Diego Country Estates where a resident had complained of flooding on her property after rainstorms. Marty Barritt told the planning group earlier this year that during a rainstorm in March she and her teenage daughter fortified their home with approximately 75 sandbags, along with wood boards and blocks to prevent water from flowing in as it did in September 2012. Some members of the planning group learned that other homeowners in that area have experienced flooding. After investigating, Department of Public Works

Twelve fi re units responded, including seven fi re engines, medic units, a water tender, a hazardous materials team from the city of San Diego, and sheriff's bomb and arson investigators, fire officials reported. Cal Fire Capt. John Sena with the Ramona Department said 55-gallon barrels of different fuels were in the shed area behind the garage. Officials called Hazmat workers to determine that several containers of materials on the property were safe, noted Sena. Neighbor Melissa Sargeant, who was having a yard sale across the street, said the house had been vacant since its occupant, a retired Navy chief, died this summer.

According to Stromenger's obituary in August, he retired as a chief petty officer after 29 years with the U.S. Navy and also worked as a San Diego police offi cer for two years.

same day Hallmann was found in 2012. Hallmann, 34, graduated from Ramona High School in 1997 and had moved to San Diego. It is unclear how he got to Ibarra’s home in the Chollas Creek area of San Diego. He was found in her front yard, slumped by a fence. He had been stabbed several times and had head injuries. According to witnesses, Hallmann had been drinking at Ibarra’s residence and she phoned Arellano and Reyes to come to her house at 4 a.m., reportedly to deal with him. A police detective testified a bandana was found with Reyes’ DNA on it along with Hallmann’s
ing, $100,000 for right-ofway and $4.7 million for construction. The rightof-way phase is expected to occur during 2014-15 while construction is anticipated for 2016-17. The county is also including road maintenance in its Local Street Improvement Program appropriations with $7 million expected to be spent on road sealing, asphalt concrete overlays, sidewalk repairs, and other pavement resurfacing or rehabilitation. TransNet revenue is divided among highways, transit, and local streets and roads. The county receives approximately $12 million each year for local streets and roads. From page A1
said DPW asked the planing group to support the solution as a large-scale CIP project, as the scope of work and cost is more than a county maintenance project. By an 8-0 vote the Arena Drive Drainage Improvement Project was added as the eighth item in the planning group's priority list of projects to be developed by the county at a future date. Arena Drive and Arena Way are scheduled for resurfacing by the county this year. From page A1
blood at the scene. A black baseball cap that contained Arellano’s DNA also was found at the site. When Hallmann was found, he was moved to a driveway. Paramedics rushed him to a hospital where he died several hours later. Court records say Arrellano has a prior conviction for manslaughter in North County and Reyes has been convicted of robbery and felony assault. Ibarra was arrested by San Diego Police March 13, 2013. She may receive a sentence of time already served. Reyes and Arellano were arrested in December 2012 and all remain in jail on $1 million bail.

Voters will choose three of five school board candidates Five candidates are on the Nov. 4 ballot for three seats on the Ramona Unified School District Board. Seeking election to four-year terms are Joyce Daubert and Richard Lemire and incumbents Rodger Dohm, Kim Lasley and Bob Stoody. JOYCE DAUBERT I was raised in rural, northeastern Ohio near Amish country. I attended public school and college at Hiram College, Ohio University, and la Universidad de Madrid. Upon graduation I taught Spanish for five years in Fredrich Roehm Junior High School and Chagrin Falls High School. After my husband returned from Vietnam, concluding a four-year tour of duty with the U.S. Marine Corps and the completion of his MBA, we moved to San Diego to begin our family. I stayed home for six years to raise our son and daughter to school age. When our daughter reached kindergarten age, I accepted a Spanish teaching position at Mt. Carmel High School in the Poway Unifi ed School District. During my early teaching career in California, I also graduated with an MA from San Diego State University with a concentration in curriculum writing. I completed graduate classes in Spanish language and culture at la Universidad de Salamanca and additional graduate work in administration at Point Loma Nazarene College. During my 36-year career, I served as department chair, TOSA (Teacher on Special Assignment) positions for parent involvement, student connectedness, professional development, and technology. In my TOSA position for technology, I managed a $1 million budget, a staff of three LAN's, developed and implemented staff development and support to train teachers to use technology for learning and classroom management. I served on site and district committees for budgeting, staffi ng, scheduling, evaluation, leave policy, procurement, tutorial support, calendar, safety, curriculum, and more. Reason/s for seeking office and goals as a trustee. This is a very important question! I'm seeking a seat on the Ramona School Board because I'm in the kid business. I don't have children or grandchildren in our schools, and I don't have a business in Ramona, but I have the calling and demonstrated skills to do this work at a genuinely critical time. The district has a huge financial challenge ahead, and Common Core will bring signifi cant change in how we look at learning. During my teaching career, I observed there were two views on the nature of the work. Some teachers considered their work a profession. They talked about it in professional terms, created and presented quality lessons, supported their students, and commu-
nicated with parents. I also observed there were the teachers who felt a calling to teach. They arrived first to the school parking lot and left last. They worked on weekends to refi ne their lessons to create enough variation and approaches to engage each student. They called parents every evening to tell parents something charming about their child and to share ways for parents to support their child's learning. I was that teacher, the teacher called to teach. I'm still in the kid business, and I feel called to keep our focus on our children's learning while we work to balance our budget and manage Common Core. Do you support Measure Q? Why or why not? Yes, I do support Measure Q. Post Prop. 13, schools became increasingly dependent on local funds when state funds dried up. The 2004 construction debt was incurred for all the right reasons, and the school board projected that new housing development fees would cover the repayment costs. We all know that the recession put an end to that plan. The district, since that time, has cut the budget to the bone, and there is no place to cut further that won't impact learning. The bill is due; the buildings were built and renovations made. If we cannot pay the 2004 incurred debt with Measure Q, I fear a state takeover. If voters approve Measure Q, how would you approach spending the bond money? Would you pursue paying off the district debt before spending money on improvements listed in the measure or would you set different priorities? How the school board will spend Measure Q funds has already been promised and published. The 2004 construction debt will be paid first and the remaining $8 million will be spent to repair and refurbish our aging facilities. The oversight committee will monitor and report on every dollar spent to ensure transparency. If Measure Q fails, what are your recommendations for the district? The district will first have to cut people because salaries are the largest portion of the budget. Since most of the people employed in the district are teachers, class sizes will soar and programs will disappear. Maintenance will have to be further deferred resulting in higher future costs. Textbook adoptions needed to support Common Core will have to be delayed. Services such as bus service and food service, and facility rental will require review. To avoid losing teachers and support staff, contingency language should be written into union contracts to renegotiate wages and benefits when revenue increases. What are the district’s strengths and weaknesses? The Ramona Unified School District educates our children very well as revealed by standardized test scores that exceed state and national averages. RUSD offers a wide variety of courses in academic and job preparation and provides students rich opportunities for extra curricular activities and
sports. Leadership at the district and site level expects excellent performance of staff and students. However, our district needs to improve trust by increasing transparency and communication with staff, parents and our community. Inviting parents and community members into classrooms and to school activities to celebrate the hard work of teaching and learning reduces misunderstanding and mistrust. Encouraging public attendance to school board meetings where topics are announced in advance and documents are easily accessible will help us create a learning community where every party has a stake in student success. What percentage of the district’s budget should go to employee salaries and benefits? As a school trustee, how would you balance student needs, maintenance/facility needs and union demands? Setting desired outcomes before allocating dollars should drive budgeting priorities. Desired class size, variety of programs, and the health and safety of facilities should determine the percentage of the district's budget spent on employee salaries. In a learning community where parents and the community are informed and participating with staff and educators to set priorities, the budget will support the mission of student learning. What should the role of a school trustee be? A school trustee, in concert with the other trustees, is responsible to guide the financially responsible governance and operation of the district to assure fulfillment of all students learning all the time. Additionally as a trustee, I would visit every classroom every year to applaud the hard work of teaching and learning, visit every parent and community organization to listen to kudos and concerns, share them with the other trustees to find answers, and carry those answers back to the organizations. Are you satisfied with the quality of education district students receive? Please explain. If not, what suggestions do you have to improve it? While Ramona schools do an impressive job in providing all our children every opportunity to learn all the time, we must continuously improve and refine the strategic vision of our leadership, practice of our teaching faculty, efficiency and use of our facilities and support staff, and increase communication to create our learning community. I would ask the superintendent to develop and include a strategic learning goal in his/her annual evaluation. I would work to develop a program to incentivize professional development for teachers and work to schedule collaboration time in their day. I would offer support staff incentives to increase efficiency and productivity. I would increase trust and communication by visiting all classrooms and organizations to establish dialogue to drive improvement. What qualities do you bring to the board? My rural values and upbringing, educational background, teaching experience, and administrative experience have prepared me to serve on the school board. I have attended
school board meetings these past months to familiarize myself with meeting protocols, reached out in the community, and volunteered many hours to support the passage of Measure Q. My interest is to assure we keep our focus on learning as we face financial challenges and a shift in how we look at learning with Common Core. I'm a retired master teacher with a distinguished 36-year career of teaching Spanish. I don't have children or grandchildren in Ramona schools, and I don't have a business in Ramona. I'm exclusively, 100% in the kid business, and I feel called to serve. I will work to assure all our kids are learning all the time, and bring our district and community into a learning community that operates with transparency, trust, and open communication. RODGER DOHM Age: 47 I am the married father of five children, all attending schools in Ramona Unified School District, at James Dukes Elementary, Olive Peirce Middle School and Ramona High School. For 17 years I have taught engineering and computer animation at Poway High and am the founding teacher of the new Poway High School Engineering Academy/Pathway. I am the founder and current coach of the award-winning Poway High School Robotics team attending the world championship six times. I was also a founding teacher of the High Tech High model beginning at High Tech High Charter School in Point Loma. I hold a BA in Mathematics and Art Education, an MA in Educational Leadership and a Masters in Governance from the California School Boards Association. I currently serve as a board member for the Ramona Unified School District (RUSD). I am a Sunday school teacher in my church. Reason/s for seeking office and goals as a trustee. I believe that our children are the most valuable asset in Ramona as well as our future. I am passionately committed to excellence for every child socially and academically in Ramona. With more local control, I am actively determined that policy, curriculum and instruction will fit our community patriotic, moral and ethical values. I am focused on the integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for our students to develop 21st century skills for innovation and invention. I believe that Ramona schools can go from good to great, becoming the top schools in the nation. I am very grateful for our Ramona community and want to give back to the CONTINUED ON PAGE A4

My goals to ensure a quality education for our students are: Sound Fiscal Management — I am driven to keep RUSD remaining fiscally responsible, stable, and focused on student needs, while spending within their means! High Expectation For Students — I am passionately committed to a rigorous and relevant culture of college and career readiness, while focusing on the whole child; through online technology, internships, values and patriotic education, athletics, high standards in the core academics, such as AP courses, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), vocational and fine arts (agriculture, NJROTC, visual arts, robotics and band) with continued teacher support, empowering them for unprecedented results. Accountability — I am committed to efficient management, innovative teaching and leadership throughout RUSD, with a focus on the latest technology to increase student test scores. I am committed to RUSD working together with all community stakeholders. Do you support Measure Q? Why or why not? Over 40 years ago the state got out of the school construction business requiring local school districts to pass bonds to build schools. Since then, money was no longer provided from the state unless there were matching dollars from local districts. The ratio of matching dollars has dwindled over the years from 90% to currently about 25% on the dollar. In order to keep school facilities up to date or build new schools, RUSD would have to come up with 75% matching dollars for facility construction or improvement projects. In 2002 Ramona citizens rejected a needed bond to build the current Hansen Elementary, Ramona Community School, new classrooms at Olive Peirce and improvements to Ramona High School. In spite of that rejection, the school board at the time secured a $25 million Certificate of Participation (COP) or loan to go forward with these construction projects. By moving forward, 34 million matching state dollars came to Ramona to build needed schools. In turn we are now all strapped with a current $34 million community debt. In spite of the additional dollars coming to Ramona, I do not agree with the board decision at the time to go against the taxpayers' decision of rejecting the 2002 bond and then taking out a loan. If I was on the board then, I would have voted NO. With the great recession, RUSD's budget has been reduced by 15% from the state and enrollment has declined over 1,000 students within the past 10 years. Along with the COP, budget reductions and less dollars through declining enrollment, Measure Q was put on the ballot. In spite of the downward turn, the current board came up with a financial plan to resolve the financial deficit in a three-part plan. First, through using excess reserves and reducing the budget by $7 million; second, to ask for concessions from all employees; and third, to ask the community for help through a local measure. So far, through staff taking concessions (for which we are greatly appreciative) and reducing the budget by $7 million, we have reduced the general budget by $8 million, or 15%. Now with the budget reduced the third part, or local Measure Q, is needed to resolve the COP, or district loan, and making needed improvements.
Although I am against this loan, as well as everyone I know, the reality is that our community owns this debt. My values are no to taxes, no to debt and for every action there will be consequence. I am now caught in the middle, because I do not believe that our children should suffer because a few adults representing us made a poor decision. At the same time I believe that our children are our future and I do not want to see them suffer. In spite of the debt, I have come to the conclusion that we should support the future of our community and children, that it outweighs the COP debt. I want you to know that I would only endorse a school bond if I believed that every possible debt relief solution was looked at. After being on the board for eight years, I have looked at every option, every plausible debt relief solution, and every community member presenting their solution. Every viable stone has been overturned. Therefore, I am voting yes on Measure Q. Supporting Measure Q will allow the high quality programs to continue without interruption, providing the greatest opportunity for our children to achieve success, now and in their future. If voters approve Measure Q, how would you approach spending the bond money? Would you pursue paying off the district debt before spending money on improvements listed in the measure or would you set different priorities? I support purchasing general obligation bonds to keep the tax rate down to the lowest minimum possible. I would finance the bond by breaking it up into two or three over time when interest rates are at the lowest. I would use local financial investment institutions if possible so that we keep revenues within our local community. I support paying off the COP as soon as possible to reduce the debt of the loan. With the reduced debt more money will be available and can be used on needed improvements or more listed improvement priorities will get done. If Measure Q fails, what are your recommendations for the district? If the economy greatly improves to bring back the lost 15% revenues or $8 million, I recommend tha RUSD continue to sell properties and use increased revenues to pay off the COP. If the economy does not improve I suggest RUSD spends within its means by reducing the budget to make COP payments, while proposing a new general obligation bond to the community to offset the negative impact to our children. What are the district's strengths and weaknesses? The district's strengths are its high quality programs such as AP, NJROTC, automotive, agriculture, band, robotics, engineering, athletics, and so on. Other strengths are specific high quality teachers, classified staff and leadership. The district weaknesses are its COP debt, communication in specific areas and no interest based problem solving (IBPS) with unions. What percentage of the district's budget should go to employee salaries and benefits? As a school trustee, how would you balance student needs, maintenance/facility needs and union demands? Currently RUSD has about 90% going to employees salaries and benefits. That occurred due to the economic downturn. Prior to that it was about 85% toward employee salaries and benefits.

KIM LASLEY Age: 57 I have been a resident and business owner in Ramona for 25 years. Married for 37 years with three daughters educated in Ramona schools; 2 daughters have graduated and my youngest is in 9th grade at Ramona High School. I moved to Ramona to start a business, raise a family and chose Ramona because of the great schools and overall atmosphere in the community. I have devoted my time as a volunteer in my children’s classrooms and also as an advocate for youth in Ramona schools and the community. Having served the past 4 years on the School Board I feel I have had the opportunity to make a difference in the education of our children using the hands-on experience I have had in the Ramona schools and community over the past 20 years. I am on various committees in the Ramona Unified School District and in the community of Ramona: Sun Valley Council PTA, Ramona High School PTA, Palomar Health Community Action Council Vice Chair of Ramona/Julian, Sheriffs Advisory Community Action Group, Rotary, ATOD Alcohol Tobacco & Other Drugs, Chamber of Commerce, Yellow Ribbon. I have served on committees such as Budget Steering, Strategic Action Plan, Site Councils, District Advisory, Surplus Land and numerous others. As a volunteer and president of ARRIBA Ramona Teen Center since it opened in 2009, I have helped to provide leadership for the healthy development of teens in our community. Reason/s for seeking office and goals as a trustee. I believe in a Professional Learning Community. I am committed to making sure our children have the best education available to them by continuing to improve advancement of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, fine, vocational and visual arts. Along with foreign languages, athletics, online courses and extra-curricular activities, also by encouraging, challenging and keeping them focused toward their future. I believe in more collaboration and communication between teachers, staff, administration and the school board not only together but also with parents and the community to ensure the optimum educational opportunities for children, preparing them for both college and careers. The state budget concerns are the most critical problem for our district today. It is my

a wealth of knowledge to incorporate STEM into our schools. I am actively involved in solving issues such as curriculum and instruction to make sure that they fit our Ramona values. As a father and Sunday School teacher, I understand how to balance a secular education with an outside religious education. I have a proven record being on the board acting in the best interest of our community to make a difference, even through personal sacrifice to do so.
downturn, school districts typically were in the 80 to 85 percentile going to employee salaries and benefits. If assuming RUSD was in line with 85%, the remaining 15% is typically tied up in federal, state and local mandates such as building codes to class size requirements. If the economy greatly improves, I am in support of 80% toward employee salaries and benefits, and to use the additional 5% to increase the reserve to support unforeseen events and budget priorities. The 5% set aside will also be used to balance the needs of unions, student needs and maintenance/facility improvements. I am determined to have a reasonable balance between declining enrollment, increase or decrease in cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA), maintenance/facility improvements by spending within our budget and keeping kids first. What should the role of a school trustee be? First, manage the financial affairs of the district; second, hire the superintendent; third, evaluate the superintendent; fourth, represent the local community's wants and needs by holding the superintendent accountable toward board developed vision, mission, goals, priorities, and core values; fifth, prepare and attend board meetings; and sixth, set and maintain policy that is central and supportive of the local community values, morals and ethics. Are you satisfied with the quality of education district students receive? Please explain. If not, what suggestions do you have to improve it? Yes and No. I believe that students receive an overall 'good' education and in specific areas like automotive, engineering and AP classes they are getting a 'great' education, but I am not satisfied. Teachers are doing a good job and some teachers a great job, but overall there needs to be leadership moving from the transition of 'good' to 'great.' I believe that our schools are 'good' but they are not 'great'. In order to do that we need to hold teachers and students accountable to teaching and learning 21st century skills, which is already under way. We need to expect that all kids are learning whatever it takes by individualizing their education to fit the needs of each student. All students need to be prepared to go to college to make decisions on their future careers. There needs to be a greater focus on career instead of just college, and while there has been a shift from just 'college' to 'college and career,' the shift is not great enough and we need to focus more on career, which college or technical training becomes the preparation. I propose that students need to have the opportunity in the classroom and outside of school to use the skills learned in school creatively for greater understanding. I support bringing STEM into every grade level from K-12, for students to have better understanding of what they are learning and how to use it in the real world. I support biotech, bioscience, and engineering strands within Ramona High. We need to move forward with students learning innovation and invention within our schools in all grade levels. As our society is changing, students going into STEM careers will improve our economy and provide a better quality of life for our kids in the future. What qualities do you bring to the board? I have a personal conviction for living my values with integrity and honesty. As an engineering teacher and robotics coach, I bring

intent to make sure that each dollar received will be spent in the best interest of the children, in the most efficient manner. I am committed to sound fiscal accountability and that no more money is taken directly out of the classroom. I will continue to gather all the facts and information possible, making decisions based on “CHILDREN FIRST.” Do you support Measure Q? Why or why not? YES, I support Measure Q. Due to state budget cuts, the economic recession, lack of developer fees, a loss in revenue due to declining enrollment of over 1,000 students in the past 10 years, the Ramona Unified school budget went from approximately $54 million down to about $45 million; from salaries and benefi ts being 80 to 85% of the budget to now around 90% of the budget. The district has reduced the budget, employees have taken concessions and maintenance dollars have been deferred. Suggestions came from the community and employees with ideas for possible relief to the budget. All ideas were heard, discussed, looked into, and several recommendations were applicable. The debt is still there. Yes, I support Measure Q. The money will go to paying off the $25 million COP—Certifi cate of Participation loan. The COP is a loan from which 2 new schools were built: Hanson Elementary and Ramona Community School. At the time there were many reasons for the decision of obtaining the COP. There was growth in enrollment, 2 schools at the time were in bad need of rebuilding because of damage from mold, and problems with the infrastructure of the portable buildings that were not meant to be long term permanent structures. Also additional classrooms were built at Olive Peirce Middle School and improvements to Ramona High School. Matching funds of $34 million from the state, free and clear that did not have to be paid back, made this an opportunity that the Board at the time voted to follow through. The community overall was against it but the board at the time did it anyway. Should this debt have happened? No one knew then what the future was going to be like, that 12 years later there would be budget cuts, declining enrollment, lack of developer fees and the economic recession. So now there is the debt of the original COP of about $32 million ($25 million plus interest). When Measure Q passes, all of Measure Q dollars stay in Ramona schools and cannot be taken by the state. No bond dollars will go to salaries or benefits. When Measure Q passes the district will be eligible to receive matching funds from the state of $12 million for new construction and modernization. The $12 million is free and clear and does not get paid back to the state. $32 million for the COP will be done in two to three purchasing general obligation bonds, paying off the COP as soon as possible. The $12 million along with the $8 million will be used on the listed improvements. All bond dollars will have annual audits by an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee and they will ensure that the funds are properly spent on the list of improvements. If Measure Q fails what are your recommendations for the district? We will be making a payment on the COP of over $1.4 million with the payment rising higher each year. I hope the economy improves. That the developments planned for Ramona get finished quickly so the district can receive developer fees, new families move in meaning growth in enrollment and more revenue for ADA, and sell properties. Revenues from any of these could go toward paying off the COP. Unfortunately some of the land has been for sale for a while now and at this time there aren’t any buyers. Developers have not broken ground. Then there is the economy, and that we have all been waiting for. Will there be revenue in the near future from any of the above? What we do not want to happen in Ramona is the possibility of state takeover of our school district and schools. If this should happen, the dynamics of Ramona will change, change in a way that will not be good for property values, businesses and the whole community.
What are the district’s strengths and weaknesses? The strengths of the district are our schools. I am talking about what is inside the classrooms. Our strengths are our great programs, our students, teachers and staff. Through all that has happened, budget cuts, declining enrollment, economic recession and even a disaster or 2, Ramona schools are still thriving and going strong. I cannot forget the parents and community that support the students and schools in so many ways. Weaknesses are the debt of the COP and the need for fiscal stability. What percentage of the district’s budget should go to employee salaries and benefits? As a trustee, how would you balance student needs, maintenance/facility needs and union demands? I had stated before that salaries and benefi ts had been 80 to 85% of the budget and are now around 90% of the budget. If the economy is better, revenues improve and the budget increases, I am for an increase in salaries and benefits. It would depend on the budget, but I could see going 85% even 80% if budget gr eatly improves. I would continue to maintain short- and long-term fiscal health to work on closing the gap of more expenses being spent than revenue coming in. Always keeping the students’ needs first and preventing class sizes from growing. The board has continually strived to work on the budget cutting wherever we can. Facilities need to be maintained and kept in a safe and healthy environment for students. Continue to keep a balance with the unions without compromising what is best for the students. What should the role of a school trustee be? Fiscal accountability of the district. Communication and transparency with district, staff and community. Superintendents — accountability, evaluations and hiring. Attending all board meetings, workshops prepared, visiting school sites, school functions and classrooms. Are you satisfied with the quality of education district students receive? Please explain. If not, what suggestions do you have to improve it? Yes and No. I have seen many good changes and improvements over the years. RCS has become 2 school sites on one campus: MVA and RCMS. I am happy to see most teachers over the summer and start of school year collaborating with each other at their grade levels and excited with trainings they attended this summer. Writing new lesson plans, curriculum and working together toward a common goal. I would like to see more accountability for teachers and students. I feel that is already happening this year with the new standards. We have added new courses and programs. Technology has improved, but all of our schools need so much more. As the economy starts to improve we will hopefully be able to bring back some of the programs we had to cancel due to budget cuts and expand more into the 21st century skills needed for the future of our students. Students continue to excel in academics, athletics and vocationally. Test scores are up and so many students went off to colleges all over the country. The amount of scholarships is a testament of its own. What qualities do you bring to the board? I am committed to making sure our children have the best education available to them by continuing to improve advancement of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and foreign languages. Along with fine, vocational and visual arts, athletics, online courses and extra-curricular activities, also by encouraging, challenging and keeping them focused toward their future. I believe with my experience I can help to maintain, as I have over the past 4 years on the board, more collaboration and communication between teachers, staff, administration and the school board not only together but also with parents and the community to ensure the optimum educational opportunities for children, preparing them for both college and careers. The education of the children in our community must be maintained at the highest level. For the Children, Their Education and Our Future.

RICHARD “DICK” LEMIRE Age: 68 I am a resident with 35 years of Ramona experience. I live with my wife, two dogs and a cat. I retired with 30 years of service in U.S. Navy. After retirement, I returned to college, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a Master's in Crosscultural Education. For the past 14 years, I have been teaching high school math and I still teach today. I have a local vineyard business and own several properties in Ramona. I have a son and daughter who attended Ramona schools and now my grandsons are attending Ramona schools. I am an active member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Ramona Chamber of Commerce, and Ramona Valley Vineyard Association. Reason for seeking office and goals as a trustee. I am seeking this position because I am concerned about our community and the future of Ramona schools. As trustee, I seek to achieve a fiscally sound school district with quality education and will work toward these goals. Do you support Measure Q? Why or why not? I support Measure Q because it will have community oversight and is a critical move in our positive financial future. The past is littered with mistakes with a lot of blame on the Certificate of Participation (COP) loan issue. Although we can learn from the past, we cannot continue to live in it at the expense of students and teachers. Supporting the measure to pay off the COP should allow concentration on quality education and whatever it takes to achieve it. Every individual in Ramona is touched by our education system! It is an old cliché, “if you think education is expensive, try ignorance” (Derek Bok). I am told the measure will cost property owners $39 per $100,000 of assessed value. Only you can decide if that cost is expensive, or a good investment in Ramona’s future. We must move forward. If voters approve Measure Q, how would you approach spending the bond money? Would you pursue paying off the district debt before spending money on improvements listed in the measure or would you set different priorities? If voters approve the Measure Q, the COP should be paid first. How can the board function effectively with an estimated $34

million dollar (and growing) anchor around its neck? And, our schools need repair! The Bond Oversight Committee will have to determine the best places to spend the remaining money on our schools. Measure Q states the schools will be fixed up. That promise will have to be kept to our voters who pass Measure Q. If I am on the board, I will do everything in my power to make that happen. If Measure Q fails, what are your recommendations for the district? If Measure Q fails, then the board and the community will have to work on innovative ideas to solve the problem. I have seen community input statements that suggest we lease or sell property or close schools. I support that input. I would want details on the impact of property issues (sell or lease) and closure of schools. Each school should be evaluated for closure — not just one. We should look into lease or sale of a property to a junior college or some technical training institute that can provide education or career paths beyond 12 years as an option to all our students. This all needs to be investigated, of course, and only implemented if it can improve the district. If Measure Q passes or fails, we should always continue to look for cost efficiencies and always sharpen our pencils. Unfortunately, if we cannot meet the safety or quality education of our students, then we have lost the battle. State takeover may be a last resort, which may come with more government involvement than Ramona would want. What are the district's strengths and weakness? I believe the district’s strengths are quality teachers, PTA support at each school and the overall community of Ramona favoring education. I believe the community wants good education, but is concerned about the cost. So am I. I think the weakness is in the prior year actions that result in a lack of trust between the board and teachers. However, through good communication, whatever media used, this can improve. I must state I don’t believe that the squeaky wheel always speaks for the whole, but we must listen and base decisions on facts and recognize the impact on the whole before deciding issues. I believe this will continue to improve in the area of trust. What percentage of the district’s budget should go to employee salaries and benefits? As a school trustee, how would you balance student needs, maintenance/facility needs and union needs? My quick math estimate indicates prior year spending was 80% of the current dis-

A6 Ramona Sentinel trict budget in employee salaries and benefits. This is comparable with other school districts. As conditions change (e.g. declining enrollment and state funding shortfalls), each line item of the budget will need to be reviewed. Priority will be student needs including maintenance/facility requirements followed by union demands. My hope is equitable distribution of funding to enhance all aspects of our schools. What should the role of a school trustee be? Good stewardship of funds with the intent of quality education. Are you satisfied with the quality of education district students receive? Absolutely! District API scores have increased despite teacher and board disputes. Ramona schools have received recognition by the state. Not an easy job without the dedication of our teachers, parents and community. We must maintain education excellence. What qualities do you bring to the board? As a teacher, I have a passion for quality education. With my past military career experience, I have leadership skills and can perform stewardship of public funds. I am able to work with people to get the job done. We have some serious issues that need to be resolved including the COP and facilities in need of repair. If Measure Q does not pass, we have to come up with ways to solve the situation. Working together with innovative ideas, we can fix these problems. BOB STOODY Age: It is hard to believe, that even though I turned 56 (just this week), the 3 youngest (of my 8 children) are still students attending district schools — and no, they did not repeat the sixth grade 4 times! My biographical record (as a school board member over the past 12 years) resulting in Helping Our Children Rise to Success, reveals a unique balance of business and educational experience that has yielded a proven and consistent record of finding creative and balanced ways to Prioritize Our Children’s Needs Over the Bottom Line. Business and Civic Experience: Founder, owner and CEO of a successful 26-year-old corporation (created with no startup capital). Twenty-six years of meeting payroll. The recipient of numerous honors such as The California Council for Quality & Service’s “Team Excellence Award”; for successfully teaming with the federal government “To Reduce Redundancies In Distribution” saving Taxpayers Millions of Dollars. Longtime Member of the Ramona Village Design Committee, a County of San Diego recognized subgroup that helped bring peace and simplification to planning codes and permitting in Ramona's business districts. Original board member of the Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS), A California nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization which is an independent group of citizens working to fill in the gaps in deferred
maintenance projects which may affect the health and safety of students and staff at the Ramona Unified School District. Service on various boards, such as those that defend and protect our religious freedoms, parental rights and other civil liberties and past president of the State of California/City of SD Enterprise Zone Advisory Committee. A 30+ year Ramona homeowner. Educational Experience: Three-term trustee (and past board president) Ramona Unified School District. Served on the State Of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing’s Commission on School Violence. Safe School committees and Alternative Education Redesign Team for Chaparral High School of the Grossmont Union High School District, tasked to evaluate and recommend programs for students requiring a “Non-Traditional Educational Approach,” realizing (when they refocus) “It Is Often Those Who Test The Limits That Become Our Future Leaders.” Creator/Leader Symposium on “Personal Financial Success,” teaching students concepts of proper capitalism, such as: “People Buy Solutions,” “People Are To Be Cared For, Things Are To Be Used But Not The other Way Around.” Voted San Diego County "Rookie” School Board Member of the Year in 2006. Awarded a Masters in Governance certificate by the California School Board Association Reason/s for seeking office and goals as a trustee. I serve because I care. I am confident that our children will continue to excel by enhancing (and protecting) an atmosphere and a culture (that is in harmony with the values of the families of Ramona), where quality education can take place. Therefore, I wish to continue making a positive difference in the lives of the children, their families and the community of Ramona. Do you support Measure Q? Why or why not? Since my first time campaigning (for the board), I made it clear that I will only endorse a school bond if I believe that every viable stone of resources has been overturned. So my answer is “Yes,” because I have personally been involved in turning over these stones — over $10 million worth in reductions (stones) annually — and I say this as the only current board member (whosat on that prior board) who voted “no” to the original debt that has brought about the need for this measure. If voters approve Measure Q, how would you approach spending the bond money? Would you pursue paying off the district debt before spending money on improvements listed in the measure or would you set different priorities? In being proactive, I personally refused to approve placing Measure Q on the ballot until the language of the measure clearly stated that: All of the district’s outstanding lease payments, on real property and related certificates, shall be paid in full with bond proceeds or other sources of available funds prior to the final expenditures. I required this guarantee (for the taxpayer) so that that no future school board could willy-nilly change the directive for the proceeds. Therefore, as the district receives these proceeds, the rate of outlay should be
limited to the promised ratio. If Measure Q fails, what are your recommendations for the district? Though I believe the district will not collapse, should Measure Q fail, it will be an uphill climb to accomplish the community’s goals for our children. My goal, when the previous measure failed, and the state was also decreasing our funding, was to try to shield the students from feeling the impact. Among other options, I recommended that the district host a Community Long-Term Fiscal Workshop to brainstorm solutions. The result of that workshop was that the district was able to balance our budget – though the children (and employees) were affected more than I had hoped. I also made it clear, that as long as I am on the board, “it will be over my dead body before I will allow a state takeover of the district” — as there are always more options available. Therefore, should Measure Q not pass we will find reasons to succeed with what we have to work with, and not look for excuses. What are the district’s strengths and weaknesses? Ramona is a district that values families, and we need to make sure parents know that they are an integral part of the educational process. We believe that education should not be “One Size Fits All.” Some students require a “Non-Traditional Approach,” such as those who attend a continuation type of school. Therefore, we offer multiple alternative approaches where viable. We are an award-winning district on multiple levels. We educate with an understanding that college is a primary pathway to a successful future. Therefore, we focus on college readiness from elementary on up. We realize, however, that college is not the only pathway to a successful future. We offer multiple routes to success such as our award-winning auto and food trades programs, etc. Sports have remained as a great buy-in motivator for the students. This is one of the benefits offered as the district moved towards a STEM approach to core and elective curriculum. I would like to see the district restore more of the arts that was a casualty of the state cuts. Ramona Unified reflects the values of our community. Tangible evidence can be seen on the playground and in the classroom. I have assisted in adopting board policies and administrative regulations that reflect these values; such as is found in an excerpt of BP6142.5 Environmental Education: At all grade levels, environmental facts should be taught as they relate to each other in a balanced approach that values humanity while respecting the environment, or, in an excerpt of AR6141.2 Recognition of Religious Beliefs and Customs: Teachers may greet students with a simple greeting that is commonly used around the time of a holiday such as "Happy Holidays," "Merry Christmas," "Happy Halloween," etc. Greetings, if used, should be dispensed with sensitivity and good judgment. What percentage of the district’s budget should go to employee salaries and benefits? As a school trustee, how would you
balance student needs, maintenance/facility needs and union demands? People are the district’s greatest asset, therefore, the bulk of our General Fund budget should be kept as close to the children as possible. Starting with teachers and instructors, next support services (classified employees; such as custodians, bus drivers, meal preparers), then supplies, books utilities and maintenance, and finally to administration. Health benefits have more than doubled since I first became a board member. I am pleased and grateful that all employee groups have stepped up with reductions (primarily in health benefits) as this was a key factor in balancing our budget. What should the role of a school trustee be? A board member’s focus must be on creating an atmosphere where education can take place, then govern in a manner that allows relevant curriculum to be delivered in a manner that inspires one to learn. Governance is accomplished through the culture that a board creates and the policies adopted. A board member’s priorities are shown by how that member invests the funds that are available. Are you satisfied with the quality of education district students receive? Please explain. If not, what suggestions do you have to improve it? I am proud of how our children’s test scores have continued to rise for most of the 12 years that I have been a board member, especially considering the cuts in state funding that we had lived with over most of that same time period. It is easy to write commentaries or blogs on how a school district should be run. There can always be criticism and differing opinions, however, it is another thing to be in the trenches, taking care of and providing a relevant education for the children, while defending them from the effects of funding cuts, state and federal mandates and outside agencies or organizations that wish to make the school grounds a social battlefield (often under the cloak of concern or advocates for the children). I believe that we need to re-look at how, and when, we teach Civics and American History as I believe that students should graduate with a greater love of America and the American way, as well as a full appreciation of the documents used by our founding fathers. We can find Common approaches on the way we teach. However, Core foundations (of what our children are taught) should not be unilaterally imposed via some back room, nor by a courtroom, and certainly not from a state room; but should be influenced primarily through the family room. What qualities do you bring to the board? I promised what I would do (12 years ago), then I did what I promised — with no excuses! Senator Joel Anderson summed it up best with his endorsement of me, stating, “We can trust that Bob Stoody will continue to put our children first. I am proud to support him." -Senator Joel Anderson Together we can Help our Kids Rise to Success.

Teen hopes to restore historic mode of transportation

Crews repair lopsided canopy B2
By KAREN BRAINARD Ramona teenager Madison Kirkman has a chance to bring a piece of history back to the Ramona area for restoration, but to do so he needs to raise funds to transport it here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Anchorage, Alaska. The historical piece he wants to restore was a mode of transportation for people to reach Ramona from San Diego: the McKeen Motor Car "Cuyamaca" ran on the San Diego, Cuyamaca & Eastern Railroad from 1908 to around 1916. "It's the only piece of equipment from the San Diego, Cuyamaca & Eastern that I know is left," said Madison. The Cuyamaca is one of three surviving McKeen motor cars in the world, he said. Madison would like to transport it to Ramona before it becomes snowed-in in Anchorage and possibly scrapped. Snow usually begins to fall there around the third week in October, he said. Not to be deterred by distance or cost, Madison is trying to raise money through donations and is hoping to hit $10,000 by Oct. 16. As of Oct. 5, he had raised $1,575 at gofundme.com/mckeencarcuyamaca.

Madison is also forming a 501c3 nonprofit corporation called the McKeen Motor Car Company Historical Society. His overall fundraising goal is $15,000. The teen's interest in the McKeen motor car began nearly three years ago when he saw a thumbnail photo that led him to research the passenger cars, create a website, and take trips to Carson City, Nev., and Omaha, Neb. "I was just fascinated by the design and the era they were created," said Madison. The McKeen gasolinepowered motor cars were created for the railroad as a more economical way to transport passengers. Madison said the idea behind them was to replace steam and thereby reduce the costs of employees, fuel, maintenance and

Cuyamaca & Eastern Railroad from San Diego to Foster, a former community that was near today's San Vicente Reservoir. From the Foster train station, passengers could take a stagecoach to Ramona, Julian or Warner's Ranch Hot Springs, said Madison's father, Woody Kirkman. Both Kirkmans agreed that the McKeen car was ahead of its time. A problem, Woody said, was that the technology in the early 1900s didn't support what McKeen was trying to do. According to historical information that Madison found, in 1916 the Cuyamaca was sold to the Yuma Valley Railroad, and then in 1924 it was sent to Alaska for use on the Alaska Railroad. There it was modiďŹ ed and during World War II it served the 714th Battalion for troop transport, said the Kirkmans. Madison's research took them to Carson City, Nev., in 2012 to see the only operating McKeen car, a 70-foot version that had been restored. "It was an amazing restoration," said Madison. After seeing that McKeen car, Madison said he knew he wanted to be involved in restoring the Cuyamaca. In Novem-

ber that year he started his mckeencar. com website. "I researched everything that that company made," he said. They even went to Omaha, Neb., where the McKeen Motor Car Company was based. The factory is completely gone and the site is occupied by a park, said Woody. Madison's goal is to restore the Cuyamaca, make it operable again and see it run on railroads across the country. "This is going to be a big project," said Woody, but he noted that Madison is in contact with people all over the world who are interested in McKeen cars. Madison has also been in touch with Union PaciďŹ c to see if the railroad will reduce or cover the cost to transport the Cuyamaca from Washington to Long Beach. Plans call for moving the rail car from Long Beach to Ramona by truck, and from Anchorage to Washington by barge. More information is available on Madison's Facebook page, McKeen Motor Car Company Historical Society.

OPINION
Newspapers — the 'tie that binds' By ROBERT M. WILLIAMS, JR.
W
hat do you care most about in life? Most of us would put family at, or near, the top of such a list. Friends would be there. So would our jobs or businesses, our livelihoods. Our homes. Maybe our pets. Our hobbies and pastimes. Add in those around us: Neighbors, the community, etc. That’s our world, our “sphere of influence.” Whatever happens to those who inhabit that place in our hearts and lives means something to us. We monitor. We respond. We pay attention. We laugh. We cry. We hurt. We rejoice. We care. And that is what well-run newspapers do, too. Parents are responsible for the well-being of their family. Good newspapers take on that role with the communities we serve. Newspapers are vigilant in protecting our communities from destructive influences, both from without and within. Newspapers sound the alarm with swift, accurate and thorough coverage when sensitive issues arise. We provide not just facts, but clearly labeled editorials and analysis stories that offer in-depth points — and counterpoints — to help everyone weigh matters with sufficient information. Newspapers also serve as “points of pride” where communities celebrate individual and collective achievement, offering congratulations and joining in mass celebration. Newspapers serve communities in sad times as well, providing clear, concise facts about tragic events, their causes and how they might be prevented from re-occurring. When communities are sick or injured, newspapers bleed. We share the pain and shed tears along with our readers. If the newspaper I’ve described sounds like a living, breathing thing — that’s because they are. Despite what a few might have you believe, newspapers are far from dead. As long as parents take pride in the birth of a baby, a home run by their Little Leaguer, or graduation, marriage, promotion or any number of life’s milestones, people will enjoy reading about them in their community newspaper. As long as people care about who died in their community this week, how high their taxes may rise or who scored the winning touchdown at the high See WILLIAMS COMMENTARY page B6
Letters Town should be grateful for officers like Sgt. Strahm Editor's note: Ms. Comeau wrote this after sending an email to Sheriff Gore two days earlier in which she commented about a lack of response she and others had experienced to reports of a man yelling at and threatening people in the vicinity of Rite Aid and Stater Bros.
I wanted to let Sentinel readers to know that sheriff's Sgt. Brent Strahm returned my call last evening (Sept. 25). He was very nice and reassured me that the substation deputies did arrest the man who threatened me. He told me that they are aware of this individual and that they were trying to work within the criminal system and the mental health system to fi nd a solution to keep this individual away from customers at Rite Aid and other businesses in that area. He also advised me to ask to speak directly to a deputy or the patrol sergeant on duty should something like this happen again. Or, to call 911. I feel that it is only fair that Sentinel readers know that there are law enforcement offi cials in Ramona who will listen and do the right thing to protect its citizens. We should all be grateful for officers like Sergeant Strahm. M’Liss Comeau Ramona Red bugs not new, seem harmless I'm writing in regards to the story

Jones Ramona Let's dispel some myths about Q The debate over the pending school bond has included some bizarre and misleading ideas: that the bond is an implied left-wing conspiracy to perpetuate big government, that the school district is sitting on a pile of money, that the bond is undemocratic, that we were mismanaged into this crisis and shouldn’t reward that behavior. Let’s dispel some myths. If a quick look at the temporary buildings of Ramona Elementary, the peeling paint of OPMS, or the 40+ classroom sizes of the high school don’t persuade you that the district is not sitting on a pile of cash, perhaps a glance at the extracurriculars will. What extracurriculars? Exactly. Big government gone awry? Hardly. Adequately funded schools reflect neither a right-wing nor a left-wing agenda.

VFW supports Measure Q
Measure Q â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a personal historical perspective
By DOUG SCHOLL To Our Community of Ramona: As many of you know, VFW Post 3783 is uniquely tied to our community. As a member that frequently travels throughout the First District, I can personally tell you that many Posts wish they could build the relationship that we enjoy with all of you. A very serious issue is about to affect Ramona and we to can see the storm clouds brewing. Our school system is facing a terrible future if action is not taken in the present. Not every single member of Post 3783 will agree, but overall we do agree something must be done to protect our schools. In 2004, the school district and the community supported a $25 million loan to build Hanson Elementary and expand Olive Peirce Middle School. That loan was formulated on intended developer fees, and in 2004 things were looking up. Parents of schoolchildren have lauded the facilities, and the kids have benefi ted themselves, outpacing
grades from other districts that match our demographics. Plain and simply, that loan is coming due. If the Ramona Unified School District cannot repay that loan, California Department of Education will take control of all our schools and they will be run from Sacramento, not Ninth Street; they will be run by auditors and accountants, not educators and counselors. Putting the dollar before the student will surely cost us all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gained and when I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;usâ&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about the students we see day in and day out who pass through those doors. VFW Post 3783 Supports Measure Q. The school board has learned lessons of the past. There are assurances and oversight that is independent of the school board. What will Measure Q do? â&#x20AC;˘Pay off the outstanding loan. â&#x20AC;˘Afford timely and deferred maintenance needed throughout the district. â&#x20AC;˘Make improvements in the facilities See SCHOLL COMMENTARY page B6
Editor's note: Due to the length of this commentary, it is being published in two parts. The fi rst part was in last week's Sentinel. Mr. Stoody's complete commentary may be found at www.ramonasentinel.com. By BOB STOODY Though I believe strongly in the property protection provided through Proposition 13 (adopted in the '70s), one of the downsides to this law is that there is basically no funding method provided by the state, nor the federal government, for facility construction or renovation (other than recently reinstituted minimal maintenance funds and sporadic matching grants). Therefore, the quality and condition of school facilities are left up to the local community to fund. The dilemma with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;no new taxâ&#x20AC;? policy is that Ramona is the only Unified School District in San Diego Coun-
ty that has not passed a school bond â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and our facilities are starting to show it. Our oldest facility was built in 1936 and never modernized. Though once a school, we now use that building as the district office â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so the children can utilize the newer facilities for classrooms. The primary reason Measure Q was placed on the ballot is to pay off a facilities loan (original amount of $25 million) that was approved by a previous board. This previous board (that was elected by this community to represent them) believed that they were doing the right thing for Ramona by taking out a loan to build and upgrade district schools. At that time Ramona was a growing community, and there was a problem with school overcrowding. Additionally, the state was willing to grant matching funds providing an additional (approximate) $34 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which the

the two most liberal places in the state. All fund above the level of Ramona, which is just below the median. There’s always room for political discourse, but let’s keep the students out of the line of fire. Is the bond measure undemocratic? Currently a 45.1% minority can overrule the bond. Some of our citizens would like a 33% minority to be allowed to overrule the majority. Let’s adhere to the will of the people. Were we mismanaged into this crisis? Perhaps. But this bond measure isn’t about the school management, it’s about adequate funding. If we feel our school governance failed, then we can vote appropriately when their names are on the
ballot. Let’s not muddy the waters. Healthy, well-funded schools DO have correlations. Not political ones, but social ones. Failing schools correlate with higher crime, shrinking property values, and lead to a shrinking population with its attendant problems. Healthy schools are the linchpin of a healthy community.

(This kind of thinking happens when your own business success is based on the free market.) My (and the entire board’s) first goal was to make sure that guarantees were put in place so no future board could change the basic promise that: All of the district’s outstanding lease payments, on real property and related certificates, shall be paid in full with bond proceeds or other sources of available funds prior to the final expenditures. The second priority was to make sure that this loan repayment goal was communicated clearly to the voters: as the primary reason for Measure Q. Measure Q will provide the children of Ramona with the greatest chance of achieving success, while seeking to insulate them from the fallout of Sacramento and Washington politics. Please email me if you wish assistance in making your decision: bstoody@ stoodyind.com. Then join me, and (I believe) all four of the other school board candidates, in voting YES on Measure Q. Bob Stoody, a 30-plus-year Ramona resident/parent/business owner-founder, is also a candidate seeking re-election (fourth term) to the Ramona Unified School District Board on Nov. 4. to the office must be signed, including letters from a group.

district doesn't have to pay back. I was a member of the board that made the decision for the $25 million facilities loan — though I voted “no” because of my conservative beliefs and a conviction that we could find a way to meet most of our goals with a safer (and much lower) $10 million loan. Therefore, the argument can be made that I (as the longest serving current board member and past board president) am aware (more than anyone else in Ramona) of the need for Measure Q to pass. There can always be criticism and differing opinions of the decisions made by those who voluntarily took on the responsibility to take care of our children. Though there is always room for improvement, I know in my heart that we stepped up and have worked frugally and selflessly with the taxpayers’ money entrusted to us. My personal belief is that the district will not collapse, should Measure Q fail, but it will be an uphill climb to accomplish the community’s goals for our children. (I know this firsthand, because I and other board members have assisted in making this climb for a number of years.) Fully aware of our responsibility to the taxpayer, my vision early this year was to prepare the way for a bond with meticulous scrutiny — verifying that every dollar would be spent with the children in mind — so much so that some questioned whether I really want-

Chamber calls all merchants to participate in Merchants Safe Trick or Treat on Oct. 31 Ramona Chamber of Commerce will again be conducting the annual “Merchants Safe Trick or Treat” event along Main Street on Friday, Oct. 31, from 3 to 6 p.m. On behalf of the chamber, Dr. Robert Argyelan is calling for all merchants to participate in the event by handing out treats to the approximate 2,500 children who participate. Albertsons has agreed to provide participating merchants with a discount on their candy purchase at its courtesy desk. “Last year over 2,000 children participated gleefully in the Merchants Safe Trick or Treat, an event that is a Ramona tradition each Halloween,“ said Argyelan, the chamber’s executive director. “Children
and their parents visit participating stores providing a safe route on which to trick or treat while also introducing many residents to our local merchants.” The chamber is asking merchants to participate this year by placing a “Safe Trick or Treat” poster in their window so that children know it’s OK to visit the store and call upon the shop owner for a treat. Posters will be provided by the chamber or business owners can pick them up at the chamber,

Fire in laundry area causes about $3,000 damage A fire in the laundry area of the home at 1150 Ninth St. last Tuesday caused an estimated $3,000 damage, Cal Fire Capt. John Sena with Ramona Fire Department reported. The cause of the fi re is unconfi rmed, but it may have started on top of the dryer where the homeowner had
plugged a radio-controlled car into a charger, said Sena. "It was completely incinerated," Sena said of the car. "It looked like that's where the fire started." The report of the fire came at 3:31 p.m. Firefi ghters saw light smoke from the dwelling when they arrived. Resi-
dents appear to have used a fire extinguisher before firefighters arrived with a productive knock-down on the fire, reported Cal Fire Capt. Robert Ramirez with the Ramona Fire Department. A pile of laundry was burning when firefighters arrived, and the fire was quickly extinguished, reported Sena.

Out of the Box Players, Ramona's community theater troupe, will bring "Johnny Brooke: A Ghost Story" to audiences on the two weekends before Halloween. The production, directed by Juliana Stewart, will be staged in BBS Playhouse, 321 12th St. on Oct. 17, 18, 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 26 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $5 each. The Johnny Brooke ghost story written by Marian Blair Hollingsworth takes place in a little house that Eliza Manning and her three teenagers have rented. The house comes with a story, but the landlady and a ditzy neighbor aren't telling. The Mannings may have wondered why the rent is so low, but they certainly never considered that the house is haunted. Who would have known that the ghost of Johnny Brooke, a young teenager who supposedly committed suicide in the early '80s, still resides there? Johnny appears only to Michelle, the oldest of
the siblings, and the two of them develop a unique and supportive friendship. Among cast members are Jennie Bowman as Mrs. Wooden, Kelli Roseberry as Eliza Manning, and Katie Breitinger, Ciera Baker and Travis Grant as, respectively, Michelle, Megan and Mark Manning. Also in the production are Sharon Crosswhite as Mrs. Muriel Simmons, Russell McCubbin as Johnny Brooke, Zerelda Stewart as Linda, Meg Krause as Sarah, Fiona Sayles as Mary Beth, Joseph Cunningham as Jason, James Laky as Carl, Frank James as the police chief, and Robert Bradley as Mr. Ken Lehr. Assisting crew chief Liam Windham are crew members Frank Stewart, Stephen McCubbin, Emma Dobson and Ian McMillen. Susi James and Michael McCubbin are in charge of sound, and Jared Miller is in charge of lights. Monica Tate is production assistant. For tickets, email outofboxplayers@aol.com or call 760-789-0856.

Bulldogs host Mt. Carmel Sundevils Friday By NANCY SAPPER After a bye week, the Ramona Bulldogs host league rival Mt. Carmel in the Dawg Pound, Friday night at 7. This football game marks the beginning of Palomar League match-ups for the 4-1 Bulldogs and the 4-1 Sundevils. Coach Damon Baldwin encourages everyone to “Pack the Pound.” “We are the reigning league champions and we want to start this year’s league match-ups right,” said Baldwin. The Bulldogs’ last meeting with the Sundevils was during last year’s CIF quarterfi nal game where
Bulldog quarterback Marco Cobian returns to the field after an injury sidelined him the past two games.
Ramona was victorious 30-21. The bye week came at the best possible time for the injury plagued team. Marco Cobian, who had missed the last two starts, is slated to return to lead the team at quarterback. Stellar running back Brandon Gansch, who sat out the Helix game, is also expected to return to the starting roster against Mt. Carmel. The team will honor Ramona Unified School District teachers and staff in this, the Staff Appreciation game. Each player on the varsity roster selects a teacher or staff member from throughout the district as his MVP. The hon-
oree wears the player’s alternate jersey all day on Friday and to the game Friday night. Players are encouraged to celebrate those who have helped or infl uenced them during their time in the Ramona district. Look for Bulldog players wearing lime green and black socks in support of an RHS sophomore student athlete who is battling Burkitt Lymphoma. This disease is a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that attacks the body’s immune system’s B-cells. Additionally, RHS has been selected as the KUSI Alarm Clock Pep Rally school for the week. The

mental issues after the Thursday match. The Bulldogs traveled to Scripps Ranch High School for both days of the Scripps Ranch tournament. They began by winning pool play without losing a game. The Bulldogs prevailed over Montgomery to begin pool competition. "We played pretty well," Adelman said. "It was a match that needed to be won and we did take care of business." Pool play continued with Ramona defeating Classical Academy, and
the Bulldogs sealed first place in their pool with a win over Rancho Buena Vista. "Our middles played well in that match," Adelman said. Amanda Donais and Seol began the season as Ramona's starting middle blockers, but Donais missed the week's matches due to a wrist injury and her sister, primarily an outside hitter, took over the position.

Having two different coaches at the Oct. 3 and 4 Scripps Ranch tournament was no obstacle for the Ramona High School girls volleyball team, which placed second in the tournament. Middle blocker Natalie Seol and setter Sammy Shupe made it to the all-tournament team. The Bulldogs' 5-2 tournament record, along with an Oct. 2 non-league loss at home against San Pasqual, gave the Bulldogs a season record of 13-4. "Those are earned wins," said Kyle Adelman, Ramona's varsity assistant coach and junior varsity head coach who filled in for varsity head coach Connie Halfaker on Oct. 4, when her daughter was recognized in a ceremony in Washington, DC. Halfaker will be back with the Bulldogs Thursday when they travel to Mission Vista for a Valley League match. The loss to San Pasqual was in three games and involved 25-21, 25-21 and 25-17 scores. The Golden Eagles had a 9-0 lead in the first game, but Ramona came back to tie that game before eventually falling. "We fought hard and we did the difficult things well," Halfaker said. "We lapsed in focus." Since the Bulldogs did not have any days off between that match and the tournament, Halfaker and Adelman addressed the

David Ralph McCoy
Ramona Sentinel
1954 – 2014 David, “The Real McCoy”, passed away October 3, 2014, in Boulder Creek. He is survived by his daughter, Maegan (Chase) Martin; son, Trevor; his mother, Carlie May; step-mother, Helen Joan McCoy-Anderson; brother, Robert “Bobby” McCoy; step-brother, Edwin (Jan) Ruffner; step-sister, Jeanine (Larry) Hawkins; and granddaughters, aunts, nieces, nephews, and many more family and friends. He was predeceased by his father, Charles E. McCoy, and sister, Laura Bloomfield. David was a Ramona High School graduate and a lifetime resident of Ramona and Julian. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2014, from 1 to 5pm at Ernie Medina’s
Vincent “Sal” Salvatore 1918 – 2014 Sal passed away gently while sitting and visiting with friends on September 4, 2014, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Vincent “Sal” was born on April 18, 1918, in Pittsburgh, PA. He moved his family to El Cajon, CA, in 1952 working as a plumber until retirement. His enjoyment was his family and friends. He was very proud to be a founding member of the Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in El Cajon when it began using an old
airplane hangar for the church. He was also very proud of his “five boys” as he called them, Jim, Bob, Mike, Dan and Tom. He loved little league baseball and was a huge follower of the Fletcher Hills Little League. He even had his own reserved seat with a brass plaque at the field. For many years he was asked to throw out the first pitch of the season. Sal moved to Ramona in 1998 to live with his son and daughter-in-law after the illness of his wife Evelyn required assistance. Evelyn preceded him in death in 1999. In Ramona he made fast friends at the Ramona Senior Center and enjoyed traveling with the Ramona Ramblers. In 2009 Sal moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where his youngest son, Tom, would be nearby. He will be missed deeply by his family and his friends, all of which were very important to him. A Memorial Mass will be held October 10, 2014, at 10:30 am at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, 2766 Navajo Road, El Cajon. A graveside service to immediately follow at Singing Hills Memorial Park, 2800 Dehesa Road, El Cajon. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ ramonasentinel.

Boys sweep races at cross country league cluster By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High's boys won the varsity race and the junior varsity race in this year's first league cluster at Guajome Park. Isaiah Spieker and Brandon Ruland took first place as individuals in those two races on Oct. 3.
The next meet, the Southern California Invitational on Oct. 18, also will be at Guajome Park, and the teams will run a longer course. The heat Oct. 3 caused the planned distance of 5,000 meters (3.1 miles) to be shortened to 2.4 miles. Ramona won the varsity
race with 30 points, Valley Center placed second with 39 points, Orange Glen had 73 points to take third place, Fallbrook earned fourth place with 102 points, and Mission Vista had 125 points for fifth place. Oceanside did not field the minimum five runners for a team score.
Spieker completed the course in 12:43. Gabe Plendcio was third at 12:46 and Max Edwards placed fifth at 12:51. "I've got the three top really strong boys running together," head coach Sherri Edwards said. During a downhill portion of the course, Max
JV girls win league cluster race; varsity second By JOE NAIMAN Cross country head coach Sherri Edwards' focus on recruiting girls to the program has been successful. Valley League teams ran their first league cluster meet of the year at Guajome Park Oct. 3, and Ramona's varsity girls finished second to Valley Center while the junior varsity girls placed first as a team. In the junior varsity race Ramona had 22 points, Valley Center was second with 60 points, Mission Vista was third with 66 points, and
Fallbrook placed fourth with 91 points. Orange Glen and Oceanside did not have the required five runners for a team score. The varsity girls were slated to run a 5,000-meter (3.1-mile) course while the JV girls arrived at Guajome Park expecting to run 2.5 miles. The day's heat caused meet organizers to shorten the varsity race to 2.4 miles and the junior varsity race to 2.2 miles. The girls likely will run longer distances at Guajome Park during the Southern California Invitational meet Oct.
18, which is the Bulldogs' next competition. "It's a hard course," Edwards said. The Oct. 3 race might be the final one at the junior varsity level for sophomore Marissa Talle, who placed second with a time of 17:05 and may run the next league cluster meet at the varsity level. Talle fell during her Sept. 18 practice run and required stitches in her knee. She did not run in the Sept. 20 Mt. Carmel/Movin' Shoes See GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY page B17

tween Ramona's top five runners the week before. "I was over the moon about that," Edwards said. The per-mile pace of the top three Bulldog runners was 5:18. Edwards believes that better conditions will likely improve that average. "They did what they had to do just to win," she said. Ruland, Jackson Sutter, and a Valley Center runner battled for the top junior varsity finish. "The boys JV was a really exciting race," said Edwards. "It came down to a sprint at the end." Ruland won the race in 13:57 and Sutter placed second at 13:58. Danny Edwards was fourth with a time of 14:13, Colton Meskell had the sixthplace time of 14:23, and See BOYS page B17

still really pleased," Edwards said. "I think we'll be closer to Valley Center next time." In the second league cluster meet the Bulldogs will likely have senior Arianna Ruland, who received medical clearance to run late last week but has not competed in a race this year. Ramona's top fi nisher at the first league cluster was Anna Sundrud, whose time of 16:17 gave her fifth place. Perla Cruz and Gwendolyn Gibson both had times of 16:25 with Cruz taking seventh place and Gibson crossing the finish line in eighth place. "I'm pretty pleased with those top three," Edwards said. Chloe Knowd had a time of 17:43 to take 21st place, Brittany Davidson was 23rd at 17:55, Katherine Lorentz completed
the course in 19:21 for 32nd place, and Cynthia Gordillo became the 34th fi nisher 19:49 after the start of the race. "I'm happy they stuck with it and I'm happy they're still working hard," she said. Edwards noted that the hot weather this season hasn't deterred her runners. "I think it's making them tougher," she said.

The Bulldogs then won the third game to advance to the finals. Once again Ramona faced Scripps Ranch. "We knew exactly what they had," Adelman said. "It was a dogfight for the entire match." The Falcons won both games and the tournament championship. Ramona settled for runner-up and the presence of Seol and Shupe on the all-tournament team. "Both well-deserved," Adelman said. "Every match so far has been a progression," Adelman said of the Bulldogs' season. "It's a testament to Connie and the program she's built."

"They just run their offense efficiently." The Bulldogs received a first-round bye in elimination play. Ramona's first elimination match was a two-game win over Granite Hills. "It was a pretty clean match for us," said Adelman. That placed Ramona in the semifinals against Patrick Henry. The Patriots won the first game, but Ramona was on the winning side of game two.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 23924 BENITO WAY, RAMONA, CA 92065 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other
common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 Trusteeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sale is estimated to be $413,712.60 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Trusteeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 recorderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trusteeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08001588-14-1. 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.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult
either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA13-607940-AL. 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 undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

Players flood soccer games with pink By DAVID WILLIAMS It was another hot Saturday, but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of hundreds of soccer players who took to the fields with many different ways of expressing themselves in pink. Ramona Soccer League's Breast Cancer Awareness Day was Oct. 4. There were pink ribbons, pink headbands, pink makeup, pink socks and pink hair. Some of RSL’s competitive Intra teams even had a full set of pink uniforms. To keep the positive vibes going, RSL will be encouraging players to also dress in pink for the Oct. 11 games.
