Two school parcels could yield nearly $4 million, study shows By MAUREEN ROBERTSON Tasked with analyzing five Ramona Unified School District properties, a Carlsbad firm has determined that two of them could be sold to net about $4 million for the district. “The market is improving every day,” Eric Hall of Eric Hall & Associates told district trustees at their

Amphitheater project raises eyebrow or 2

November meeting. The two sites — 39 acres behind Ramona High School at Hanson Lane and San Vicente Road and 32 acres adjacent to Hanson Elementary in the 2500 block of Boundary Avenue — are the district’s most recent land purchases. The district bought the RHS property in 1999 for $1.19 million and acquired the Hanson Elemen-

tary property by eminent domain in 2002 for $953,000. Hall’s recommendation is to form a surplus real property advisory committee and sell the RHS land. About 22 acres are buildable and about 17 acres are vernal pool and wetland, he said. Considering what he called “broker opinion of value,” the land could sell for $2.2 million to $3.2 mil-

lion, depending on the number of units built. Working with Hall on the study was Mark Kagan, an attorney and real estate broker. They said a developer could build a mobile home park, apartments or condominiums on the high school property. The 32 acres adjoining Hanson

One of three projects recommended for Park Land Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) funding has created a bit of a stir, with some people wondering what it is and others questioning whether it is shovel ready. The amphitheater for Ramona Community Park is not a new project, said Art Thomsen, who has worked as a volunteer for the park for over 40 years. Thomsen requested $27,500 of the $680,000 of PLDO funds to install fencing around the 2-1/2 acres designated for the amphitheater and to sod and seed the flat stage area. The fencing, he said, is needed to keep off-roaders, whose circular tracks can be seen on the ground, from driving on the site. Thomsen, as the project champion, presented his request to the Parks and Recreation Subcommittee

Hannah Shirley, said to be the nation's oldest pygmy hippo, welcomes guests to her 40th birthday party after she finishes a swim.

Hippo parties at wildlife center By KAREN BRAINARD The nation’s oldest pygmy hippo celebrated her 40th birthday at her home in Ramona. Hannah Shirley, the pygmy hippo, lives at The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center, an animal sanctuary on Highland Valley Road. She arrived at the center in 2002 after she was discovered living in the backyard of a private home in Escondido.

The animal wildlife center director, Ali Crumpacker, said the hippo has had several names, but the name Hannah developed when she was rescued, and Shirley was added so she could be named after her sponsor. Because a pygmy hippo’s lifespan usually ends in the early 40s, Crumpacker said, “Every year from this year out will be a milestone.” Helping Hannah Shirley celebrate See PYGMY HIPPO CELEBRATES page 16

Volunteers raise $4,232 for school roof project pay for two AED batteries. The potentially life-saving portable electronic devices can re-establish an effective heart rhythm in an emergency. Chick and Dave Patterson represented FORUS at the Nov. 19 school board meeting. Patterson, chairman of the FORUS Roof Project, said a roofing contractor looked at school roofs with Anderson and “with $20,000 we should be able to seal leaking roofs in the district, allowing our teachers to focus on what they have been trained to do, and not run around with buckets all day.” To accomplish their short-term goal, FORUS members are placing donation canisters in nearly 100 Ramona businesses. “The long-term goal is to replace a deteriorated roof that can’t be repaired, and for this we will seek corporate funding,” Patterson said, noting that the group of volunteers is awaiting 501(c)(3) nonprofit designation.

Two weeks after Ramona Unified School District trustees thanked Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS) for a $1,500 donation for vandal-proof faucets and batteries for

automated external defibrillators, the group reported receiving donations of $4,232 toward its goal of $20,000 to seal the roofs of several school buildings that leak. “So it’s not just about soap and bathrooms,” said Bob Stoody, school board president and FORUS member, referring to the vandal-proof soap dispensers and soap the group donated and installed in all secondary school bathrooms in the district before the start of the school year. One thousand dollars of the $1,500 donation will pay for school bathroom faucets that through vandalism or other mishaps no longer work. Ed Anderson, district maintenance and grounds supervisor, can purchase the faucets for less than FORUS, and district workers will install them, said FORUS member Greg Chick, Ramona plumber who installed the 39 soap dispensers at no charge to the district. The remaining $500 will

“Our mission is to fill in the gaps in deferred maintenance problems that impact the health and safety of Ramona’s students,” reads information on the donation canisters. The district has budgeted maintenance money to repair roofs of a room at Ramona Elementary School and of the locker room area and coaches’ office at Ramona High School, Anderson said. Those repairs are scheduled to occur during the winter break. One hundred percent of the FORUS donations will go to seal roofs Anderson has earmarked: the kindergarten/grade 1 room at Barnett Elementary, the main building at Montecito High School, a portable building and the science wing at Ramona High School, and the gymnasium at Olive Peirce Middle School. “Ramona merchants can help by allowing us to place our canisters near their cash registers,” said Patterson, noting that Roofus, a rescue dog owned

by Chick and his wife, Dr. Jane Tanaka, is the project mascot. The merchants who collect the most donations will have their photos published with Roofus, added Patterson. “If you see one of our canisters, please help us any way you can,” he said. Carmen Bedia, retired Ramona High School Spanish teacher and FORUS treasurer, is documenting donations. Ramona Sentinel will use the thermometer on this page to let the public know how much is raised toward the $20,000 goal each week. “Huge, heartfelt thank you to our Ramona merchants who are helping FORUS by asking their customers for donations,” said Tanaka. “This past week, La Cocina, Ramona Music, Nuevo Grill and Richardson’s Recycling raised the most donations.” Canisters also are in Ramona Cafe, Ramona Beauty Supply and Salon, Water Depot, Ron’s Tires

Highway 67, solar project among planning group topics Two items on the Dec. 5 Ramona Community Planning Group agenda involve State Route 67 and another focuses on a proposed 5-megawatt photovoltaic solar project. Caltrans is scheduled to give a presentation on its SR-67 Median Barrier Corridor Study. The study proposes four options for the 12mile stretch between Shady Oaks Drive in Ramona and Willow Road in Lakeside to help reduce fatal accidents and head-on collisions: A

median concrete barrier, a high tension cable barrier, a

metal barrier and a median buffer. A fifth option is “no-

build,” meaning no changes would be made. The options

Density becomes an issue for proposed apartments By KAREN BRAINARD A developer proposing multi-family housing on 16th Street was told he would have to lower density or adjust his target audience when he presented preliminary plans to the Ramona Design Review Board. The approximately 2.5acre parcel is just southeast of Main Street. As proposed, the apartment complex would have 60 units. Casey Malone of Lansing Companies in San Diego said the county’s general plan allows 24 units to an acre at that site, but design review board member Chris Anderson informed him that the Ramona Community Plan overrides the general plan and only

allows 7.3 units per acre in the town center. To have a higher density, the apartment complex would have to be affordable housing or senior housing, board members said. Malone said he would meet with the county and review his options. Board members liked the preliminary design and layout as presented by Malone’s architect, Phillip Pekarek of Pekarek Crandell Inc. The architect called the design an “old California courtyard approach.” Design review member Rob Lewallen said he was impressed with the look and it was nicer than most

apartment plans he had seen recently, even with the higher density. “There’s some nice ideas here,” he said. Malone is scheduled to give an informational presentation to the Ramona Community Planning Group at its Dec. 5 meeting at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Library Community Room, 1275 Main St. Also at the design review board meeting, members approved a Western-style facade for a building at 1023 B St., and landscaping at the site. Alex Zier said the building will offer space for four sole proprietor-type businesses and a storage unit.

Jewish congregation to celebrate Hanukkah Ag Boosters start Christmas tree sales Friday Congregation Etz Chaim will celebrate Hanukkah on Friday, Dec. 13. Services led by Rabbi Leslie Bergson will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Rotunda of San Diego Country Estates, 16911 Gunn Stage Road. This holiday frequently is referred to as the “Holiday of Lights.” It is the anniversary of an event that occurred in 165 BCE. Hanukkah, the first struggle for religious freedom in the history of the world,

represents the fight against totalitarianism in all forms. It therefore is a festival honoring liberty and freedom. After the lighting of candles in a special candelabra with room for nine candles, the hymn “Rock of Ages” is sung. It is customary to give children foil-wrapped chocolate money and to serve fried foods such as potato pancakes during this holiday. All are welcome. For more information, call 760-789-2781.

OPINION

Editorial

School board makes good on promise Ramona Unified School District trustees made good on a promise they made to the public this summer when they said they would hold a second community workshop after results of a consultant’s analysis of district property were completed. At the August workshop, the district thought the consultant’s report would be finished in early fall. It wasn’t. Trustees received it last month and it’s been on the district’s website, www.ramonausd.net — all 187 pages — for the public to read. After the consultant presented his report, school board president Bob Stoody asked about the second community workshop. Some at the meeting were taken aback when board member Dawn Perfect said she didn’t think trustees needed to set a workshop yet. We thank trustee Rodger Dohm for saying he’s ready for a workshop, and we appreciate Stoody’s statements that the workshop be in January, after the holidays, not in March, April or later. It was Stoody who, after the district’s school bond bid failed in November 2012, recommended a community workshop to discuss long-term fiscal planning and called for everyone to “think outside the box.” The other trustees agreed. The August workshop showed Ramonans have different ideas for approaching the financial mess the district finds itself in as a result of decisions made a decade or more ago — as well as the aftershock of the state’s and nation’s economic meltdown. The district is considering another bond bid. If it wants the public to take the district seriously, it needs to take the public seriously. That includes giving the public every opportunity to share ideas in hopes of seeing if there isn’t more than one way to put the district on firmer fiscal ground.

Sentinel Reader Opinion Writer needs facts about senior center This letter is in response to the one submitted by J. Carlton appearing in the Nov. 21 edition of the Ramona Sentinel. The letter addressed the deficit situation regarding the Ramona Senior Center. J. Carlton expressed confusion about the approval of the recent budget for the operation of the Ramona Senior Center. One has entered dangerous territory when making allegations borne out of confusion. This writer boldly decries “incompetency and irrationality” in reference to the Ramona Senior Center expenditures, and questions “who is running the place” underscoring a baseless opinion. Perhaps coincidentally or synchronistically an informative article addressing the reasons why the Ramona Senior Center is experiencing these financial hurdles appeared in the same edition of the Sentinel. The article cited factual information as to the current tenuous status of the Ramona Senior Center. J. Carlton will find most concerns answered by reading the article, which is a prominent, feature piece with color photograph of

Ramona Senior Center staff members appearing on the front page of the Sentinel. This article addressed the expenses faced by the Ramona Senior Center with an integral focus on specific numbers relating to increases in food costs, transportation, insurance and losses due to cuts from county subsidies funds, all contributing to the hardships in operating the senior center programs in the black. J. Carlton announces there are "no plans to make up their overspending.” I invite J. Carlton to attend our monthly Ramona Senior Center board meetings to gain a better understanding of the circumstances and challenges compromising the operations and viability of the Ramona Senior Center. Becoming a senior center volunteer and advocate would be more helpful than an uninformed critic. Cindy Galloway Second vice president Ramona Senior Center Board

Our troop is growing and is planning several exciting activities and outings for 2014. As the Senior Patrol leader, I invite the male youth of Ramona to visit one of our troop meetings. The next one is on Dec. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Weiss House in Ramona Oaks Park (troop679.org). The Boy Scouts of America is committed to the betterment of the boys of this nation. Our troop has contributed to this goal by spending time in the great outdoors, by training ourselves in the art of leadership and survival, and by offering several events that are fun and build character. For example, recently our troop took a three-night canoe trip down the Colorado River. With events like that, wonderful people at your back, and the training that Boy Scouts offers, Troop 679 promises an experience that you will remember for a lifetime. On my honor, Clayton Grant Senior Patrol Leader Boy Scout Troop 679

Invitation to visit a Boys Scout meeting

Scout in Ramona, writing to you about Troop 679.

This Thursday, Ramona Community Planning

Group will discuss whether to delay progress on certain Ramona road projects so that the county may fund improvements for intersection of 67 and Dye Road. Many years ago I pleaded with the RCPG to place the improvement of 67 and Dye intersection on their Top Ten Road Project Priority List. I was told the the intersection was under state jurisdiction and that county funds were to be used on local Ramona roads and not on state highway projects. If you read the last edition of the Ramona Sentinel, you may understand that, according to the county, a few of the Ramona road projects may be delayed because the county may have to fund part, if not all of the improvement for the intersection of 67 and Dye Road. One of those projects is the RPCG’s priority for the Dye Road Extension (one of four parts of the Ramona South Bypass). The Dye Road Extension is a worthless project that will cost us over $15 million. This road will do nothing to improve Ramona. Please show up for the RCPG meeting. Joe Minervini Ramona

OBITUARIES

Theresa Ann Giesemann 1933 – 2013

Theresa, 79, died peacefully at 4:22 AM on December 1, 2013, surrounded by her loving family at Palomar Hospital in Escondido, CA. Theresa was born in Omaha, NE, on March 10, 1933, to Sam and Mary Douchey as the sixth of eight children. She married Thomas Giesemann in Omaha, NE, on June 2, 1956. Together, they raised seven children and lived in Iowa, Arizona, California, Alabama, and finally settled in Ramona, California, in 1982. Theresa was a kind, loving spirit who brought joy and happiness to all those who knew and loved her. She

wouldn’t think twice about challenging any of her children or grandchildren to a game of rummy. She will be greatly missed for her quick-wit and generous heart. Theresa endured so much in her life; and she was always so remarkable in her will, her memory, and in her persistence to endure so many challenges. Theresa’s primary joys in life were the happiness of her family, devotion to her Catholic faith, and reading books of all kinds. She is survived and loved by her beloved husband of 57 years, Thomas Giesemann; their children, Mary Giesemann, Tom Giesemann and wife, Patti Pedersen-Giesemann, Joe and wife, Andrea Giesemann, Barry and wife, Yvette Giesemann, Amy and husband, Paul Stastny, Mike and wife, Leslie Giesemann, and Pat and wife, Corinne Giesemann; their grandchildren, Jessica and husband, Adam Sisson, Corey Giesemann, Alexandra Giesemann, Brielle Giesemann, Grant Giesemann, Spencer Giesemann, Max Giesemann, Sam Giesemann, Lucca Stastny, Eli Giesemann, and Benjamin Giesemann; their

two cats, Lucy and Molly; and her two sisters, Irene Larkin and Dorothy Slimp. A Viewing and Rosary will be held on Thursday, December 12, 2013, from 5-8 PM at Poway-Bernardo Mortuary, 13243 Poway Rd., Poway, CA 92064, with the Rosary at 7 PM. Mass will be celebrated on Friday, December 13, 2013, at 10 AM at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, 537 E St., Ramona, CA 92065, with the Committal to follow at 1:30 PM at Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego, CA.

Amphitheater

of the Ramona Community Planning Group, which listed it as No. 1 on the eight-item priority list. The planning group at its Oct. 3 meeting recommended that PLDO funds be released for the project, based on information that it was near or is shovel ready. That is not the case, said the general manager of the Ramona Municipal Water District, which owns Ramona Community Park. In a letter to Thomsen, RMWD General Manager David Barnum said all insurance and permitting requirements must be satisfied before the project moves forward. According to Thomsen, the amphitheater, which is between the water district building and the baseball

fields, was created by the Ramona Kiwanis Club, along with Ramonans John Sousa and Frank Kunkel, in the mid-1970s. As a park volunteer and grading contractor, Thomsen also was involved. The topography of the land lends itself to a natural amphitheater, so grading was minimal, he said. The top of the slope drops about 700 feet to a flat area between two boulders where a wood stage once sat, he said. “So you sit up here and all the music is down there,” he noted, standing near the top of the slope. The Kiwanis Club planted eucalyptus trees at the top, and electricity and irrigation lines were installed. The amphitheater was used for about three years for

music and special events, said Thomsen, but interest waned and over the decades the stage, which is no longer there, fell into disrepair. The park volunteer pointed behind the stage area to a rocky hill that has Indian artifacts and noted it is not within the amphitheater area and would not be disturbed. Thomsen said he is working on the amphitheater again because he wants to see it finished and used for community events. “My dad always said, 'if you start it, you gotta finish it,'” he said, adding that “in the future it’s going to be used for things necessary in the community.” He and Barnum pointed to an agreement in 2009

with the Ramona water district approving the concept of the amphitheater. Barnum said then general manager Ralph McIntosh approved the concept for the amphitheater with the conditions that all insurance and permitting requirements be satisfied, which has not been

done. McIntosh is Thomsen’s nephew. In addition, Barnum said, a completed design that the district has requested has never been submitted. “It is critical that these conditions be met prior to your project moving forward,” Barnum stated in the letter. Although RMWD owns the land, it leases it to the Ramona Parks and Recreation Association (RPRA). The lease agreement requires that RPRA obtain all necessary permit approvals and determine that there is not an impact to the park’s major use permit. If there is a deviation from the permit that was not satisfied, it could impact the entire park, Barnum said. “It literally could cost RPRA hundreds of thousands of dollars,” said Bar-

num. He also said the amphitheater stage area is in a floodplain. “There may be additional requirements. It’s in a low part of the park,” he said. For the health and safety of visitors, there may also be additional insurance requirements, according to the general manager. He said the district must meet federal, state and local regulations. Barnum said the water district is all for people using the park but doesn’t want to risk a snafu. “You’re using public property and public money that could negatively impact that park...if you don’t do it right,” he said. Thomsen said he met with Ricardo Soto, contracted engineer for RMWD, on Monday to discuss the amphitheater. Although the planning group recommended funds be released for the project, San Diego County Parks and Recreation Department will review it and decide if all requirements are met before sending it to the county supervisors for a vote on releasing PLDO funds. The other two projects recommended for PLDO funds are Ramona Girls Softball LED scoreboards and a tennis court conversion to basketball court in Collier Park for the Boys and Girls Club.

Toys for Tots returns to Ramona Airport on Saturday Airport tenants, area families, San Diego County Airports and Delkin Devices, a Poway manufacturer, are again partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation to return the Toys for Tots event to Ramona Airport on Saturday. Toys for Tots collects new, unopened toys to distribute to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. In addition to Ramona, pilots from Gillespie Field in El Cajon, Palomar-McClellan Airport in Carlsbad and Borrego Valley Airport Springs will be flying in with donations from their communities. For the past seven years, the Delkin firm has participated in the Toys for Tots

program as their yearly employee and company charity event. Total toy collection for 2012 exceeded 1,293 toys, and Delkin employees want to beat that number this year. Last year $15,661.58 worth of toys and donations were gathered from employees, customers, suppliers and a host of volunteers, said Martin Wood, Delkin Devices CEO. Added to this were hundreds of donations from Ramona and surrounding area residents. The event in Ramona is second only to the Chargers’ Toys for Tots drive in regards to volume. “Despite tough economic times, we ask that everyone dig deep and come out to support the Marines

in their endeavor to make millions of kids happy during the holidays and continue to grow the Ramona Airport Toys for Tots drive,” said Wood. The event is more than toy donations to Delkin employees. They barbecue hamburgers and offer them to pilots taxiing in with toys. Last year they gave away 120 hamburgers with all the fixings. This year they’ll be cooking 150 hamburgers, said Wood. For the past nine years, Ramona resident David Williams of WakeWorld. com has raised money from the wakeboarding community for the Ramona Airport Toys for Tots effort. Last year, more than $8,700 was raised, said

Williams. He is continuing fundraising for this year’s event and will be delivering toys and cash to the Marines on Saturday. The U.S. Marines and volunteers will be collecting toys at the public viewing area and from arriving aircraft at Ramona Airport on Dec. 7 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The public viewing

area is at 2926 Montecito Road. Marine Corps vehicles and military vehicles will be on display. The viewing area is also a great spot to see incoming aircraft land to unload toys from other San Diego County airports. Toys for Tots began in 1947 in Los Angeles and has expanded nationwide.

The goal of the program is “to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them into becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.” For more information about Toys for Tots at Ramona Airport, call 760788-3366.

Town Hall directors invite public to Christmas Social Ramona Town Hall directors and honorary mayor Sharon Davis invite the community to a Christmas Social on Sunday, Dec. 15, from 4 to 7 p.m. Dickens Village displays will be showcased, and there will be Christmas caroling and light refreshments. Admission is free. The late Augustus and Martha Barnett donated Ramona Town Hall at 729 Main

St. to the townspeople of Ramona, then Nuevo, on Washington’s birthday, Feb. 22, 1894. The adobe building has served as the town’s first library, first movie theater, first high school, first bank, dance hall, justice court, and the birthplace of several of Ramona’s service groups, including the chamber of commerce, the Masons, and the volunteer fire department.

Judge orders Jan. 21 trial in B Street hatchet attack A man who allegedly took a hatchet to a stranger’s home and then tried to axe his neighbor and a vehicle must stand trial on assault and other charges, a judge ruled Monday. Devin Michael Jones, 23, pleaded not guilty Oct. 28 to charges of two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, as well as vandalism, trying to dissuade a witness from reporting a crime and a misdemeanor count of being under the influence of a controlled substance, said Deputy District Attorney Matthew Carberry. After a preliminary hearing on Monday, Judge Herbert Exarhos found that enough evidence was presented to order Jones to stand trial. The judge re-

duced one of the assault charges to a misdemeanor count of brandishing a weapon. The non-injury fracas began in the 600 block of B Street in Ramona at about 6 a.m. Oct. 24, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. A resident went outside to investigate what sounded like someone pounding on the outside of his house and was confronted by a combative man he didn’t know. An argument ensued, prompting a neighbor to threaten to call 911 if the disturbance continued, sheriff’s Sgt. Kurt Torsak said after the attack. The aggressor responded by charging the neighbor, clutching a hatchet, the ser-

geant said. The victim fled, got into his truck and locked it as the assailant whacked on the driver’s side door and shouted profanities for a time. He then ran off, Torsak said. Deputies sealed off the area and searched it, eventually finding and arresting the suspect, who was identified as Jones, according to Torsak. Investigators later learned an air-conditioning unit, exterior wall and garage door at the home of the person who was initially targeted had been smashed. “The damage appeared to have been caused by a hatchet,” the sergeant said. Exarhos scheduled a readiness conference for Dec. 30 and trial for Jan. 21.

Carjacking suspect pleads not guilty A man accused of carjacking the vehicle of his exgirlfriend’s new boyfriend in Ramona pleaded not guilty to a felony on Monday. Ricardo Macedo remains free on $75,000 bail. A judge ordered him to stay away from the victim, who does not live in San Diego County, according to Deputy District Attorney Ronald Mendes. Macedo and an unknown companion followed the victim in his vehicle from San Pasqual Valley to Ramona on Nov. 24, stopping in the 2400 block of Main Street, according to San Diego County sheriff’s Sgt. John Boyce. Once

stopped, Macedo allegedly confronted the man about his relationship with the exgirlfriend. Macedo and his friend punched and kicked the victim in the face, Boyce said in a statement last week. Macedo, 25, then allegedly fled in the victim’s vehicle while his friend drove off in Macedo’s vehicle. According to Boyce, shortly before the alleged attack occurred the victim told a San Diego police officer who was working at a road closure on Highway 78 in San Pasqual Valley that someone was following him. The officer spoke to

Macedo, determined no crime was committed and released him. Deputies investigating the carjacking later contacted San Diego police and got Macedo’s address. “They drove to the residence and located Macedo, who admitted he had ‘snapped’ because he was jealous the victim was dating his exgirlfriend,” Boyce said. “(He also) admitted to assaulting the victim and stealing his car.” Macedo refused to identify his companion. A readiness conference is scheduled Dec. 27 and a preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 22.

Ranch Winery provided each rider with a wine-colored bandana so that the wineries would know they were part of the group and ready to taste. Riders also received $10 gift certificates to Catt Farm and Ranch Supply. Seventeen horses and two mules carried their loved ones around to the west end wineries. Starting from the ranch at Kendison Farms, they saw the Coyote Canyon Heritage Herd Mustangs grazing in their pasture and were heartily greeted by their herd “boss,” the donkey. They set out for Kohill Winery for their first 1-ounce taste. Mike and Aurora Kopp, winemaker and owners, came out to greet them. They went into the wineries in two shifts so someone could watch the horses while the others tasted and talked to each winemaker. From Kohill, they rode through Hacienda de las Rosas Winery to see the beautiful Peruvian Paso horse ranch. Then, it was on to Woof ‘n Rose Winery for their second taste. Steve and Marilyn Kahle, winemaker and owners, gave a little history of their winery while they poured. They set out to Cactus Star Vineyard at

Riders prepare to head out for a day of wine tasting in West End Ramona. Scaredy Cat Ranch for their third taste with Joe and Becky Cullen, winemaker and owners, introducing them to the wines. The horses and humans got a drink of water before taking off to Principe di Tricase located at Highland Valley Tree Farm — affectionately known as Pine and Wine — on Whirlwind. Alfredo and Sheila Gallone, winemaker and owners, gave a taste of their wine with a delicious piece of chocolate. “What’s not to like?” everyone agreed.

From there, they continued past the persimmon farm, where people were picking and purchasing five-gallon buckets of fuyu persimmons to take home. Most of the riders had never been on the west end of Ramona and commented on the beautiful views everywhere they looked. They never had to cross any major roads either — thanks, RTA. Terry Jorgensen was the designated trail boss. Joe Cullen volunteered to pick up and deliver the purchased wines from the win-

eries to the horse trailers so people could take home their treasures of Ramona wines. He also brought in the sandwiches and desserts for the instant “chuck wagon.” When they arrived back at the ranch, they unsaddled their horses or donkeys and gathered chairs under Terry Jorgensen’s awning at her horse trailer for lunch provided as part of the trail ride. As people left, trailer by trailer, each waved and tooted their horns as they drove away, the perfect end to a perfect day in Ramona.

Elementary has low-density residential zoning for single-family homes. “We think 4.3-acre parcels would be very likely here,” Hall said, estimating sale value at $786,000. The 187-page Asset Management Study recommends the district keep the other three properties: 5.02 acres at 1710 Montecito Road, Ramona Community School’s former location; 4.92 acres off Bellemore Drive between Gantry Way and Staples Way in San Diego Country Estates; and 20.15 acres that includes Ramona Elementary School, Head Start, Montecito High School, Future Bound, Administration Center, bus barn and maintenance yard, and Wilson field. Part of the former Ramona Community School is home to Arriba Teen Center, which pays the district $1 a year, and the district rents another part to the Special

Education Local Plan Area, North Inland, for about $33,000 a year. Because most of the Montecito property is floodplain, it has the potential of yielding one or two homes and could be sold for $97,890, said Hall, a retired public school administrator who started his company in 2006. His recommendation is “to continue to seek tenants that may be consistent with the education design of the site, and certainly continue to lease it, as you are gaining revenues.” Among pitfalls of the Estates property are: • The county has issued as many building permits as the planned community allows, and • Of the 53 homes for sale in the neighborhood, only 19 are traditional sales through a Realtor. “The balance are properties that are owned by a bank or under some kind

Pygmy hippo celebrates

her birthday on Nov. 22 were six children who won a coloring contest and their families. They each poured a cup of grains into a purple hippopotamus piñata that was set out for Hannah Shirley, who inspected it before getting into the treats. The guests also watched Hannah Shirley swim in her pond. Contest winner Lydia Dean, 8, of Ramona said the funniest part was when Hannah Shirley ran up to the huge pink soccer ball she received as a birthday present and bit it. Along with Lydia, were two other con-

test winners who were from Ramona: Joanna Abarca, age 5, and Talia Christofferson, age 13. When staff sang happy birthday to the 500-pound hippo in the morning, “it actually scared her,” said Crumpacker. “She ran away when we sang the second verse.” The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center, not open to the public, provides handson care and a safe haven for wildlife. The center recently built a 4,200-square-foot medical building to meet its growing needs.

of distressed sale,” said Hall. He recommended a 4-H program or horticulture operation as the highest and best use of the Estates property. Among other suggestions are a working farm, recreational vehicle parking and self-storage. “Due to the circumstances here, we found it very difficult to establish any value (for sale of the land) at all,” he said. The study divides the 20.15 acres in town center into three sections: Ramona Elementary at Eighth and D streets; the district office, Head Start, bus area, maintenance and transportation, Montecito High School and Future Bound; and Wilson Field. It places total value of the 20 acres — five blocks south of Main Street and bounded by D Street to the north, Eighth Street to the east, I Street to the south, and Ninth Street to the west — at $1.5 million. While the highest and best use of Ramona Elementary would be to rezone it for commercial use, “we looked at the Ramona real estate sales and trends and listings, and it’s an extremely soft market,” Hall said. A number of Main Street properties are vacant, and rents are low, he said. If commercially zoned, the land is worth about $1 million, the study states. “However...it is highly unlikely a developer would pay this value since the average commercial rent for retail, industrial and office space is so low that it will not support the debt service after the cost of acquisition and construction,” the report continues. If the property had residential-office, its value would be about $74,000, but it is unlikely a developer would be interested in this market, according to the report.

“We recommend that you not sell now, but potentially reevaluate when the market is stronger,” said Hall. Closing a school could save money, but it also could add costs. Of Ramona Elementary’s 505 regular education students, 30 are bused to school. Relocating the students would mean transporting nearly all of the students to another school, and the majority of them would qualify for free transportation. “If you could get a lot more value and there was a lot more demand for commercial, potentially the cost of transporting kids and operations and buses might be minimal if you could get significantly additional dollars,” said Hall. The report places value of Wilson Field at $116,870 and the rest of the property at $363,600, but states that a buyer is unlikely in this depressed market. The complete report is on the district’s website, www.ramonausd.net. Trustees in April approved spending $32,500 from the district’s developer fee fund for the study. A key financial challenge the district faces is a $25 million loan a previous board approved in 2004. With interest, the money owed is about $35 million, according to the district. Selling some district property is among ideas that have been discussed to help pay off the loan. Superintendent Robert Graeff told trustees he and staff would prepare some recommendations for their Dec. 19 meeting. Trustees, who held a community workshop in August to discuss long-term fiscal planning for the district, are expected to schedule a second workshop for January.

Help update Cuyamaca State Park plan

THANKSGIVING FEAST—The day before Thanksgiving, Montecito High School students feasted on turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, fruit, vegetables, pumpkin pie, rolls and more, compliments of the school’s food trades class. Principal Dave Lohman wanted the students to have a Thanksgiving feast and asked food trades teacher Nancy Taber and class aide Rita Eastman if they and their students could make it happen. They did. Joining Montecito students and staff were school district employees who work nearby in the district office. Pictured with the food trades students and wearing Pilgrim hats are, from left student Christine Goldsmith, Eastman, student Rachel VanDoran and Taber. Photos/Principal Dave Lohman

uyamaca Rancho State Park is undergoing a transformation, and it’s not too late to get involved. The nearly 25,000-acre park has acquired more land and is adjacent to Anza Borrego State Park as well as other public lands and trails. The third and final public meeting was held on Nov. 12, but the public comment period is still open. Everyone with an interest in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is invited to send comments and ideas for the General Plan process to State Parks at www.parks.ca.gov/?page_ id=27169. The website has been updated with a Preferred Alternative Management Zone Map and Matrix, meeting flyers and agendas from past meetings. Download or view these documents for a preview of what was presented as possible updates to the park General Plan. These documents help you to better understand the process and where you may fit into it. Your input is valuable.

“We continue to welcome your questions, comments and concerns via e-mail at enviro@parks.ca.gov,” State Parks staff says. A formal comment period for the Preliminary General Plan/Draft Environmental Impact Report will take place. This combined document should be available in the spring 2014. A last opportunity for comment on the General Plan/EIR will occur at the time of the State Parks and Recreation Commission meeting in the fall of 2014, so be thinking about what you’d like to see in the park’s update and send your comments. At the meeting the

commission will vote on the General Plan. An equestrian stakeholder group meeting was held June 25 in Ramona Community Center. Equestrians and three California parks staff participated in discussing issues of interest to equestrians. Information about the meeting is in the meeting agenda and notes, which can be found on the web page under Maps and Documents. Among topics briefly discussed were: request that reroutes be in place before closing old alignments; correct information See MANES & TRAILS page 19

The Notice of Participation and Initial Study have been made available to agencies that California Department of Parks and

Recreation determined may have an interest in commenting. Comments from the public are also welcome. The changes proposed will be further defined as progress on the draft plan continues. The combined Preliminary General Plan/Draft EIR will be available for a 45-day public comment period, most likely in spring 2014. Check the web page for updated information often.

opted in 1986. The purpose of the plan update is to revise it to reflect changing conditions and issues such as the 2003 and 2007 fires that roared through the park and the additional state park lands that are adjacent to Cuyamaca park. This is our state park. It is close to Ramona and available for all to enjoy. I hope you get involved in making it the best park we can.

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

December 5, 2013 off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714)573-1965 or (619) 704-1090 or visit this Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 13417.

Momentum shifts after controversial play in Bulldogs’ loss to Dons By BILL TAMBURRINO Ramona’s best season since leaving the small schools division and entering the large schools division in 1974, came to an end in the CIF Division I semifinal game Nov. 27 when the Bulldogs lost to Cathedral Catholic 20-0 in a game marked with controversy. The first half was a classic defensive battle. Both teams had key interceptions inside the opponent’s 5-yard line. Ramona lost

the ball to an interception on the Dons’ 2-yard line and Keyanis Crichlow grabbed a pick on the Bulldog 5-yard line. Special teams also played a big part in the first half. Brandon Duarte pinned down the Dons with a coffin corner punt that went out of bounds on the Cathedral 6. The Dawg defense held, and on the ensuing punt Ramona muffed the punt and the Dons recovered the loose ball on their own 43. Cathedral then used a coffin corner punt to pin

Ramona down on their own 5. The half ended on a controversial play that may have been illegal. Cathedral marched 72 yards and, with less than 18 seconds left and no timeouts, the Dons’ running back, Chris Moliga, was sprung free and headed for the end zone. Garrett Dart made a great touchdown-saving tackle on the goal line with 12 seconds showing on the clock. Cathedral hustled to the line of scrimmage and it appeared that the clock had run out, ending the half. The line was not set, but the officials ruled that the Dons hiked the ball and the quarterback spiked the ball with one second left on the clock. However, the Dons were penalized for illegal procedure and the ball was placed on the 5-yard line. On the play in question, it appeared that the ball was snapped and the quarterback and running back moved. Then there was mass confusion. The ball ended up in the end zone with the Dons’ center, Austin Goodwin, brandishing the ball. After a long deliberation, the of-

ficials ruled that the ball was fumbled and recovered into the end zone, and the Dons were awarded a touchdown. A closer look of the play on film after the game showed a little different story, according to coaches and football association

ger legal. Coaches and officials said the play should have been ruled an illegal procedure and the Dons would have gotten another play at the 10-yard line. “That play changed everything,” said Coach Damon Baldwin. “We had played very well in the first

“That play changed everything." — Coach Damon Baldwin officials. The quarterback and back moved before the ball was snapped. Goodwin then snapped the ball and the Cathedral line moved on the snap. The ball was never seen on the ground and it appeared that Goodwin had control of the ball the entire time and carried it into the end zone, which is not a legal play. The play, known as “fumbleroosky,” is no lon-

half and it appeared that we had put up a great goal line stand to end the half and give us momentum. Instead the momentum went to them. We went into the halftime dismayed. Cathedral controlled the ball and the clock in the second half and won the game. But that play took all of the wind out of our sails.” Ramona’s offense was

held to 95 yards in the first half and only had the ball for eight plays in the second half. Several Bulldogs played well on defense for the Dawgs. Travis Kerchner ended his career with an 11-tackle performance. Raul Briseno and Ben Barnat each had nine tackles. Patrick Hastings, Keyshaun Crichlow, Kevin Ochoa and Garrett Binkley all turned in six-tackle performances. Dart, Binkley and Keyanis Crichlow all knocked down certain pass completions. “It was a tough way to end a great season. But only one team finishes the playoffs on a happy note. This senior class has seen it all. As sophomores, many of them suffered through a 1-10 season. Last year they turned it around and made it to the finals. This year we played up a division and made it to the semifinals. They will be missed. They are greatly appreciated,” said Baldwin. If the traditional student population formula had been used to place teams in divisions, neither team would have been in Division I. Cathedral has Division III enrollment and Ramona’s enrollment is Division II. Under the new method, Cathedral’s record would put them in the Open Division, but a school can only move up two divisions under the current system.

Girls basketball has high expectations, opens season with win By BILL TAMBURRINO After sharing the Valley League title last season with an 8-2 record, Ramona High girls basketball coach Dan Marshall would like to be a little more selfish this season. The Bulldog girls went 18-11 on the season and advanced to the playoffs as they have every season under Marshall’s tutelage. Marshall has the most wins in Ramona basketball history with a 315-131 lifetime varsity record. The Lady Bulldogs return six players from last year’s team. Senior guards Kailey Hill and Christina Barrameda and forward Ashlyn Savage are all back. Hill averaged 11 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists a game and was a shut down defender with 71 steals and a team-high 31 blocked shots. Barrameda averaged 7.5 points, five rebounds and two assists per game and re-

“We hope to compete for a league title and make a run in the playoffs." — Coach Dan Marshall corded 68 steals on defense. Savage averaged 1.5 points, 1.1 rebounds and had 12 steals.

Honor system and sportsmanship field and usually they are in the action and not near the action. However, people in the stands who can be up to 300 yards away feel that they have a better view of the action and when they disagree with a call (always a call that goes against their team) they feel they have a right to boo, jeer, and make insulting remarks and gestures. They paid. They can boo. Freedom of Speech or booing. Again, I must remind you that officials are human. And when a human is insulted, embarrassed, threatened or mocked the human just might take offense to that. I have heard umpires that I complained to say this: “You think that was a bad call? Wait until the next pitch. Your kid better be swinging.” I am sure that an umpire or referee or line judge in football has the same thoughts. On any long gain or whenever a quarterback scrambles, some genius with great eyesight will yell, “Holding!!” and that astute fan is always right because there is holding on every play. Soccer fans are worse and basketball fans are the worst. Basketball fans are closest to the action and often have a better angle on the play than the official. They can also be seen and heard by the officials. After talking to several basketball, football, baseball and softball officials, and after having watched, coached, played in and officiated thousands of games myself, I have the come to the following conclusions. Before most games, most officials don’t care who wins or loses. However, after they are booed, cursed, jeered and insulted they sometimes get biased. At most games the officials make far less mistakes than the players and coaches. Fans seldom boo when a batter swings and misses, but I have heard it happen. Ditto a missed free throw, lay up, penalty shot or field goal attempt. Fans always make better calls than the coach right af-

There is a lot to be said for prep golf and tennis. In those two sports the players are in charge of policing the game and calling the infractions. In tennis it usually comes down to whether or not a serve or ball is in or out. In high school golf the players count their own scores and if they break a rule it is up to them to make the call and take a penalty. It is the honor system. To too many, the honor system is interpreted as “You’ve got the honor and I’ve got the system.” When I play golf, my cronies and I play by rules that high school kids can’t play by. In high school the golfers walk the course. Sixty-seven-year-old Ramona Sentinel columnists don’t walk the course! We drive carts and the No. 1 rule is: The fastest cart gets the best lie. High school golfers are penalized for a lost ball, a ball that goes out of bounds or in a water hazard. Our motto is: Losing a $1.25 ball is punishment enough. A swing and a miss is counted as a stroke for prep golfers. It is a practice swing for us. Mr. Mulligan is a big man in our games. In high school golf he doesn’t exist. In cross country the races are also pretty much ran on the honor system. Football, volleyball and water polo have paid officials, as do most of the winter and spring sports. There is one problem with paid officials. All of the officials are human beings and human beings make errors. Take football for instance. There are between three and seven officials used in high school football games, depending on the level of play. The officials are on the

ter the play has been played. Most fans don’t really know the rules. Pros and colleges play by separate rules than preps. Ninety-nine percent of fans have never seen, touched or read a rule book. There are no instant replays in high school and I hope there never is. Those who boo the most usually know the least. Officials don’t do it for the money. Most high school athletes display better sportsmanship or sportswomanship than their parents. As a coach, I made hundreds of bad calls and I lost hundreds of games. I am undefeated in the stands and I have never made a bad call from the bleachers. All too often “Victory with Honor” is like the honor system. g

Tournament. The Bulldog girls beat Chula Vista 44-37. “It was a tough test. Chula Vista is a very physical team. We can be physical too so it was not pretty. We got off to a slow start but we hung in and played well in the second half and put the game away in the final period. “Katherine (Mauldin) was solid on defense and in the paint in the first half, and she scored all 12 of her points in the second half to pace our offense,” said Marshall. Mauldin recorded a double-grabbing 21 boards to go with her 12 points. Barrameda also turned in a double double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Hill scored 7 points and grabbed six boards and led the team with two steals. Scheib scored 5 points and grabbed six boards. Fields also scored 5 points. Farhat contributed 4 points. Barrameda, Farhat and Fields all hit 3-point shots. The Lady Dawgs play a tough schedule, are a Division II team, and have high expectations.

Teammates share top varsity volleyball awards By JOE NAIMAN

hree of the top varsity awards presented at the Ramona High School girls volleyball post-season banquet were shared by pairs of teammates rather than given to a single player. Middle blocker Callie Guasti and setter Sammy Shupe shared the Most Valuable Player award. The Co-Outstanding Offensive Player recipients were Guasti and outside hitter Robyn Arthur. Co-Outstanding Defensive Player recognition was given to defensive specialist Sydney Hickle and outside hitter/defensive specialist Christina Barrameda. “It was very much a team effort in general,” said varsity coach Connie Halfaker. Guasti and Barrameda are seniors. Arthur completed her junior season. Hickle is a sophomore. Shupe was one of three freshmen on Ramona’s varsity. “We are matching a senior with a freshman, a senior with a junior, a senior with a sophomore,” Halfaker said. The players voted on all the awards other than the Bulldog Award, which was selected by the coaches prior to knowledge of the team voting results. Guasti’s teammates selected her for the Floor Leader award and for Most Inspirational Player honors, while Ramona’s coaching staff gave Guasti the Bulldog Award. “The team held Callie in very high esteem,” Halfaker said. “The players really

put her in so many categories. That’s confirming for both sides.” Guasti was also honored for her role as the varsity captain. Halfaker wasn’t surprised that Guasti and Shupe shared Most Valuable Player honors. “They were a very strong force together,” Halfaker said. When the Valley League coaches selected their all-league teams Guasti was placed on the first team and Shupe received second-team honors. “One of the things that was mentioned at the all-league meeting was the combination that the two of them were able to run,” Halfaker said. “The two of them together created a force for our opponents. They came in knowing they needed to try and get us out of our system,” said the coach. Halfaker added that Guasti and Shupe weren’t the Bulldogs’ only threats. “We had a lot of other capability to create damage,” she said. “We really were not a single dimension.” Shupe’s role as setter contributed to the ability of the Bulldogs to rely on players other than Guasti. “She’s very able to move the ball around well,” Halfaker said of Shupe. “That was really valuable, and we had another offensive weapon.” Arthur was able to take advantage of some of those passes. “Robyn was a strong part of our offense

as well,” said Halfaker. The shared selection of Hickle and Barrameda equates to a team-oriented defense. “That’s what I really like,” Halfaker said. The Valley League coaches bestowed honorable mention all-league recognition upon Arthur, Hickle, and freshman middle blocker Natalie Seol. Seol was selected for the varsity’s Outstanding Improvement award. “She really was remarkable with the degree to which she improved,” said Halfaker. The Nov. 16 banquet, held in the Hanson Elementary School multipurpose room, also included the presentation of junior varsity and novice awards. The junior varsity’s Most Effective Offensive Player award was shared by freshmen Karina Martinez and Morgann Wilson. Felicia Ferreiro, a sophomore in her first year of high school volleyball, received both Most Effective Defensive Player honors and the Team Inspiration award during the JV recognition. Hannah Darrough, another sophomore who made her

high school volleyball debut in 2013, was the junior varsity’s Most Effective Server selection. The junior varsity Outstanding Improvement award was given to freshman Jordyn Fick. Sophomore Sammy Feezey was presented with the junior varsity Bulldog Award. Feezey and sophomore Molly McLeod were recognized for their service as the JV captains. The novice Most Effective Offensive Player was Kelsey Sherman, who also took home Most Effective Server honors. Hannah Bowen was the novice Most Effective Defensive Player. Bryn Jordan received the Team Inspiration award. Allyse Johnson was presented with the Outstanding Improvement honor and Kaley Sapper was the novice team’s Bulldog Award recipient. Sapper and Megan McLoughlin were commended for their novice team captain roles. “It’s always a pleasure to be able to honor the kids, the girls, the players, and thank the parents for all the support,” Halfaker said. “I was very proud to be Ramona’s coach, both from player and parent standpoints.”
