Neighbors of the former Golden Eagle Farm no longer have to worry about the possibility of a law enforcement vehicle training course in their valley. Their concerns and objections were heard loud and clear. Jody Mays, support services director with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, said that as of Monday, Jan. 11, “We are no longer pursuing an Emergency Vehicle Operations Course, or an EVOC, in Ramona on the Golden Eagle Farms property. We have initiated a new site search.” That will be welcome news to the residents living off state Route 78 east of town near the Golden Eagle Farm that closed in October 2014. Many of them attended the Ramona Community Planning Group meeting on Jan. 7 to hear a presentation on the training facility that was proposed for 80 acres of the SEE TRAINING, A2

As other speakers wait their turn, Nancy Riegler questions what other uses law enforcement would establish on the 560-acre Golden Eagle Farm.

Homeless count to take place here next Friday

Volunteers will be at the monthly food distribution at Ramona Food & Clothes Closet at 9 a.m. today, Jan. 21, to spread the word about the countywide homeless count scheduled for Friday, Jan. 29. The San Diego Regional Task Force on the Homeless conducts an annual homeless count. For the third year, three Ramonans plan to volunteer to help determine how many homeless are in this community. They will meet at Jack in the Box, 1056 Main St., at 7 a.m. next Friday to start their count. “The more homeless we count in Ramona could equate to more funding for organizations who receive their funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development,” Ramona resident Joe Minervini said. “Simply put, it is the goal of our Ramona Count volunteers to get increased funding for organizations such as the Ramona Food & Clothes Closet to help the homeless in Ramona.” Participating in the count with Minervini the past two years are Kathleen Kelly and U.S. Navy Chief Wiley Nowling. To assure as accurate a count as possible, they ask anyone who is homeless in Ramona to meet them under the canopy in the center of Collier Park, 626 E St., at 9 a.m. on Jan. 29. Elsewhere in the county, other regional task force volunteers will participate in the WeAllCount effort. More information is at www.rtfhsd.org.

Trustees set initial parameters for hiring new superintendent BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON Open-minded, innovative, analytical, organized, fiscally responsible and impartial. Those are a few of the characteristics several residents want in Ramona Unified School District’s new superintendent. Their statements came during a school board workshop held to solicit opinions from the community. The search for a new superintendent comes after Superintendent Robert Graeff announced his plan to retire at the end of the school year on June 30. Since Graeff’s announcement last month, trustees have sought public comments about characteristics residents desire in his replacement. Under “What’s Happening” on the district website, www.ramonausd.net, the district invites the public to email “the qualities, skills and/or experiences that the new superintendent of Ramona Unified should possess in order to lead the school district forward.” “The No. 1 criteria for a new

superintendent is that he or she live in Ramona and has children enrolled in Ramona schools,” parent and grandparent Lucille Johnson said during the board workshop on Jan. 11. She was one of six who spoke. Ramona is a unique town with its “own special breed of people,” Johnson said. The district has several capable leaders who attended Ramona schools and “understand the people of Ramona because they are one of them,” she said, noting she spoke for friends, colleagues and family members. “In our opinion, we do not have to search too far,” she said. “We have just what we need right here in Ramona.” “I hope that you don’t go out and pay, or use taxpayers’ money, to go outside of our district,” said Tony Dunkailo, a former board member and retired district employee. If Graeff were ill and unable to work for three or four months, “who would you trust to take over that position?” he asked. “Think about that,” he said. Recommendations are always good, and

FROM TRAINING, A1 560-acre farm property. Brian Sampson, executive director of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA), an entity that was formed for the San Diego Regional Public Safety Training Institute, and serves as agreement between the City of San Diego, the county and the San Diego Community College District, told planners why they were eyeing the farmland off Highway 78. He said they had looked at city and county properties, including airports, and none met the criteria, which included land that was flat and not

environmentally sensitive, and within reasonable distance from the Regional Law Enforcement Training Academy at San Diego Miramar College. Sampson said they had not made an offer yet to buy the Golden Eagle Farm property, but wanted community input. His presentation included a video showing the current training location — the parking lot at Qualcomm Stadium, where, he said, light poles, the trolley, delivery trucks, transient population and uneven surfaces have posed challenges. Training for recruits includes high speed

or pursuit driving, said Sampson. Noise, light pollution, additional traffic, nighttime exercises, impacts to property values and wildlife, and the potential for other facilities such as a firing range were some of the concerns of people living in that area. Kevin Carey, who lives and operates a thoroughbred breeding facility on Rancho Balena Lane and is a partner in a law firm in San Diego, was one of 10 speaking out against the project. He said they would not be able to mitigate the sound levels that would travel in the “fishbowl valley.”

Carey said they were forming an opposition group. “We are going to fight you tooth and nail. We’re going to be well-funded. And we’re in for a long fight,” he said. Mays told the Sentinel that the public comments at the planning group meeting were a factor in the decision to halt consideration of purchasing the Golden Eagle Farm. In other business at the planning group meeting: • Planners unanimously waived undergrounding utilities and approved a design exception for the proposed Ramona Senior Garden, 1236-240 H St., as the applicant stated it is cost-prohibitive. Harris “Jim” Jamil, said San Diego Gas & Electric estimated the cost to underground utilities would cost $130,000. His project is a senior residential care home. • A proposed four-way stop at Fifth and D streets by the county’s Traffic Advisory Committee was opposed by planners 12-1, with Dan Scherer dissenting. There are stop signs on D Street, said planners, and there was not compelling evidence to warrant a four-way stop there.

Lasley leads school board in ‘16; Piva again chairs planning group Two of Ramona’s elected public groups have selected their leaders for 2016. Kim Lasley will serve as president of the Ramona Unified School District Board, and Jim Piva will serve as chair of the Ramona Community Planning Group. This is Lasley’s first time with the school board gavel. It is Piva’s sixth turn as planning group chair. Since only three of Ramona Municipal Water District Board’s five directors attended the board meeting last Tuesday, they agreed to postpone election of officers until the Feb. 9 meeting. In thanking everyone for his appointment, Piva announced this will be his last year on the planning group since he does not plan to seek re-election in November. “It’s been an honor serving with everybody,”Piva said. “I look forward to serving the last year as chair, but I will tell you that my intention is not to run again. Eight years has been enough.” He noted that during those years, the planning group has gained more credibility with the county. “That to me comes from the quality of people we have on this board,” he said. When nominations for officers opened, Joe Minervini, as a public speaker, thanked Piva for serving as chair but said it was time for new blood and asked the planning group to elect a new chairperson. Planner Jim Cooper nominated Piva and was the only one to nominate someone for the position. For vice chair, two candidates were nominated: Dan Scherer by current vice chair Scotty Ensign, and Torry Brean by Frank Lucio. Scherer won the spot in the 8-5 vote.

There was no contest for the position of secretary, which will continue to be held by Kristi Mansolf. Piva noted that eight seats on the planning group will be up for election in November. Planners whose terms are also ending this year are Brean, Cooper, Donna Myers, Paul Stykel, Richard Tomlinson, Eb Hogervorst and Barbara Jensen. Hogervorst and Tomlinson said they would not be seeking re-election. During the school board’s annual organizational meeting, Dawn Perfect nominated Lasley to serve as board president and Rodger Dohm seconded the nomination. With trustee John Rajcic absent, Lasley was elected in a 4-0 vote. She replaces Perfect, who served as board president the past two years. Rajcic, who due to a family matter was unable to attend the meeting, had asked Dohm to let the board know he was interested in serving as board clerk/vice president, a post Lasley held for the past two years. Dohm nominated Rajcic and Lasley seconded the motion. In a 2-2 vote, with Perfect and Bob Stoody opposed, the motion failed. Stoody nominated Perfect clerk/vice president, and Dohm seconded the nomination. A 3-1 vote, with Lasley opposed, elected Perfect clerk/vice president. As part of its organizational meeting, the board sets the time and dates of monthly meetings. Meetings will be on Jan. 21, Feb. 25, March 10, April 21, May 26, June 16, July 7, Aug. 25, Sept. 22, Oct. 27, Nov. 17 and Dec. 15. All are Thursdays, and the public portion of the meetings begin at 7 p.m. in the district office board room, 720 Ninth St. The board schedules a one-hour closed session before each public meeting.

OPINION

COMMENTARY

What do you think of guns on campus? BY JOHN RAJCIC Student and staff safety is an ever present priority. People ask, “Hey, Rajcic, you are on the school board. What do you think about guns on campus?” My first reply often is, “What do you think?” What does the reader of this article think? Now that the decision has been made to have a deputy sheriff on campus, let’s think about it a little more. On campus is a misnomer. On what campus and when? How about covering the outposts — Mt. Woodson and the Estates? Seems to me command and control is better from the sheriff's substation on Main Street rather than a cop stationed on the high school campus. No one argues that student and staff safety is not a priority, and eternal vigilance in this matter is everyone's responsibility, including students and staff. They are ultimately the first responders. They call 911 and take immediate, appropriate and planned action. When and where will the on-duty cop be at any given time? One person in my adhoc study group wants to arm selected district personnel on campus with concealed weapons. Another person argues “Why do you have to conceal the weapons?” I am probably as comfortable with weapons as anyone, but when, how and where? Many of my acquaintances are not comfortable with guns on the campus. Others say only in the hand of the cop. It could be argued in hindsight that some past school shootings could have been prevented if a cop was present and confronted the shooter/shooters when they were about to enter the campus or pull the trigger. No one ever seems to be in the right place at the right time. Cops seem to react after the fact. Now how does the school district cover the cost? We (school administration) are told that the initial cost was between $225,000 and $250,000 for one cop, inflated to account for the one-time cost of the vehicle. Going forward, the total cost is projected to be $175,000. If we (district) split this cost 50/50 with the county it is estimated to be $87,500 each. The board gets to negotiate this cost in the spring and perhaps we can do even better — or drop the whole program. Legacy costs for the cop should not be overlooked. To me $250,000/$175,000 for one cop is a lot of moolah. Not much if it prevents one incident, but there are more efficient ways to accomplish this objective/perceived need. One could look upon the cost as paying an insurance premium to prevent a potential loss. To say the county pays for it does not cut it with me. Ramona taxpayers are the district and the county. The county “protects and serves.” If the cops determine there is a need, the police budget should cover the cost, as it does for businesses, residents and the community at large. School is in session six hours a day for 180 days. At $50,000 ($46 per hour), Army/Marine vets or retired cops would line up for the job. No fringe benefits required. No legacy costs. Employee five guards, split the cost with the county. What would Blackwater charge? Arguing the need for student and staff safety is SEE COMMENTARY, A6

FROM SUPERINTENDENT, A1 resumes “don’t always tell the true story, Dunkailo said. “You must read in depth, look behind the individual,” he said. Parent Kim Newcomer documented traits she, her 14-year-old daughter and her husband consider important. Respectful, good judge of character, resourceful, peace maker and “above all, kind” were among characteristics on her daughter’s list. “My husband said, ‘will work for $117,000,” she noted, commenting she believes his meaning is “we might find a really qualified person who’s willing to do a job for less than what we expect.” A visionary was among Newcomer’s desired qualities. She encouraged trustees to ask candidates open-ended questions, “so you get answers that are revealing.” Ramona High School teacher Mona Snodgrass said this is the first time in her 27 years with the district that trustees are “asking to hear from us, so thank you very much for that.” The mother of two Ramona-educated children, Snodgrass wants “somebody who’s vested in this community, somebody who understands those unique qualities of Ramona...I’m looking for somebody who really understands why we’re different...understands how to take what’s here and make it amazing, to take us from good to excellent.” Complimenting the work the district has done the past three years with Common Core and new teaching strategies, Snodgrass said she wants “an educational leader, somebody who’s up on educational research, not afraid to move sometimes teachers who don’t want to move, and move their techniques and strategies.” Bridging the partnership between the district and community also is important, she said. “I would hope that you also want to see someone continue to drive your vision, because I believe the vision that you are taking us in right now is a positive place to be,” added Snodgrass. Graeff presented trustees with a suggested timeline for hiring the next superintendent. During a discussion of whether to hire a consultant, the consensus of the board was to conduct its own search. Graeff estimated a consultant would cost the district $20,000 to $30,000.

Board president Kim Lasley said her concern “is the time that’s involved to do this properly.” This is the most important job the board has, she said. Saying he was not impressed with consultants he heard during the state school board association conference in December, trustee Bob Stoody commented, “We’re going to pay them for doing our own work that we’re going to do ourselves.” “I think if we were all novices, but this is a very senior board, and we pretty well know what we want,” said Stoody. “I think we can handle it ourselves,” agreed trustee Dawn Perfect. “The consultant invariably queries the community, then he asks the school board what they want,” said trustee John Rajcic said. “He puts a little package together and sends us a statement for about $50,000, and I tend to be sort of against that.“ Resident Joan Renaud said a consultant would provide objectivity. “It’s not so subjective as everything here has suggested,” she said. Trustee Rodger Dohm said he could go either way. Since three of the five trustees prefer not to hire a consultant, “then I’m OK, but that would only be with legal counsel guiding us doing it the right way,” he said. The board plans to prepare an initial list of desired characteristics for the next superintendent at its Jan. 21 meeting. Trustees also plan to establish compensation parameters at the meeting, but whether that discussion will be in closed or open session is uncertain. The board will advertise the post through February in the professional newspaper EdCal and on EdJoin, a public education job search website. Trustees agreed that Robyn Puckett, Graeff’s administrative assistant, will be the point of contact for candidates and for comments from the public. Trustees set Feb. 29 as a tentative due date for applications, and they may review the applications during a closed session on March 1 at 5 p.m. They will continue to accept comments from the community, and they plan to connect with individuals and organizations on the list the district used during its last two bond campaigns. “Everybody on that list was somebody who had an interest in the success of our district,” said Perfect.

District directors hear class action suit report Board postpones election of officers BY KAREN BRAINARD To start off the new year at their Jan. 12 meeting, Ramona Municipal Water District directors postponed election of officers, heard a review of the class action lawsuit against the district regarding sewer fees, and approved measures to allow the general manager to file small claims actions for delinquent accounts. The board plans to elect officers at its Feb. 9 meeting as only three of the five were in attendance. Absent from the meeting were directors Jim Hickle, who was out of town, and George Foote, who had jury duty. Because water district customers have been receiving in the mail a document from San Diego Superior Court about the class action lawsuit judgment, ruled in the district’s favor, and many have called the district office, Attorney Gregory Moser with Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP,

which represented the district, reviewed the case and provided deadlines for further action by the plaintiffs. Moser said the plaintiffs’ deadline to file a Notice of Appeal is Feb. 2. “They said they will do that. Whether they will actually do that, we’ll see,” said Moser. The attorney said the court ordered the plaintiffs to mail notices of the ruling to the “class members,” and that cost them about $13,000. The district, he said, is entitled to reimbursements of trial and expert witness costs and is asking for $85,616.73, which the plaintiffs are disputing. A hearing on that is scheduled for March 2, said Moser. Filed in January 2014, the lawsuit alleged that the district’s method for charging sewer fees based on a parcel’s assigned equivalent dwelling units violates Proposition 218 because the charges can

exceed the proportional cost of the services. The district requested the trial be split into two phases, with the first phase to consider whether the plaintiffs — Eugene Plantier, Orrin Day and George Newman — had exhausted their administrative remedies by first protesting fees at Proposition 218 public hearings on sewer and water rates. After hearing testimony in phase 1, the court found on Nov. 3, 2015, that the plaintiffs failed to submit such protests and ruled in the district’s favor, preventing the trial proceeding to phase 2. The court said it found the testimonies of district staff to be more persuasive than that of the plaintiffs, and Plantier had an ax to grind over a dispute regarding grease discharge. Plantier owns the commercial property at 109 10th St. that he leases to Marisco Mar De Cortez restaurant. In 2012, district staff said the

restaurant was releasing grease into the sewer line and required him to pay $33,000 to bring the building’s wastewater service into compliance and to obtain an industrial waste permit. Moser said the plaintiffs’ history of complaints dated back to 2002, when Newman complained of a water bill. According to Barnum, the case cost the district several hundred thousand dollars to

defend, although Beck noted that it could have cost a lot more if it lost. Moser said the district would have had to pay back millions of dollars to class members — customers who paid a sewer service charge on or after Nov. 22, 2012. In other action, the board: • Authorized its general manager to file small claims actions on delinquent accounts without first obtaining board approval. • Amended its Legislative

FROM COMMENTARY, A4 a zero-sum game. Fear should not prevent the making of wise and prudent decisions. Life has it risks. Students or anyone should not be smothered and have to live in a cocoon. One of the e-mails I received follows: "I see police more as an after the fact force — get control of the situation and figure out what happened (often a VERY flawed process). I am a big advocate of cameras as a force multiplier for determent of bad acts before the fact, but some Californians are scofflaws and want cameras to record everybody but ‘invisible’ them. People are very willing to sacrifice everybody else's privacy, but not their own — especially audio and visual privacy. I think a deputy in

the school provides little determent, gives people a false sense of ‘doing something’ to increase security, and does nothing to improve education (for which the school board is singularly responsible). Bottom line? Waste of school money. Spending the money teaching students they are part of a civil society that is not ‘all about me’ is a much better use of the same money." Get involved in school board meetings on this and other matters. John Rajcic, a Ramona school board member, stresses that this is his opinion as an individual and he is not representing the board.

Valley Club to host Montecito High principal and teacher Montecito High School will take center stage when Principal Dave Lohman and construction teacher Nick Jordan talk about the continuation school at the San Vicente Valley Club meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 27. The luncheon meeting, open to the public, will be in San Vicente Resort at 24157 San Vicente Road. Check-in will be at 11 a.m. Reservations for the meeting are requested by Friday, Jan. 22, and may be made at the front desk of the resort or by calling Kaaren Thiem at 760-788-4840. Lohman, a Ramona resident, is California Continuation Principal of the Year. “His commitment to high school students and his extraordinary leadership at Montecito and Future Bound (independent study) over the past three years is well-known,” reads the announcement of the club’s meeting. Lohman was assistant principal at Ramona High School for 10 years before his

promotion as Montecito High School principal in 2012. Jordan, also a Ramona resident, joined the Montecito staff last year, when he developed the school’s construction program. This new venture in vocational education has proven to be successful and rewarding as students learn a trade and work on projects needed at Ramona Unified schools. San Vicente Valley Club is a nonprofit organization open to all Ramona residents. It works toward the social, philanthropic and civic betterment of the community with contributions to student scholarships and charitable causes. Among the club’s interest groups are Book Marks, Bridge Marathon, Lunch Bunch, Friends of Ramona LIbrary, Bunco and Scrabble. Membership information is available from Thiem. More information about the club is online at sanvicentevalleyclub.com and on its Facebook page.

Author Gail Prout discusses thriller Ramona Woman’s Club started the New Year with Ramona author Gail Prout, who wrote “The God Program,” a high-tech industrial espionage thriller about a programmer who designs security applications. Heavy rain on Jan. 7, the day the club met, kept some of the members from attending, but those who did thoroughly enjoyed Prout’s talk, said first vice president Wendy Wygant. The protagonist in Prout’s book goes to Washington, D.C., to collaborate with a group of government agents on a project. He discovers his conscience will not allow him to complete the assignment, and he flees with a company-owned laptop that is essential to the operation. Prout, a New Jersey native, taught high school math, biology, chemistry and physics after earning a bachelor’s degree in mathematics education at Monmouth College in West Long Branch, N.J. She also taught seventh- and eighth-grade math and

She earned her master’s degree in science education in 2003, and moved with her mother to Ramona in 2005.

The speaker on Feb. 4 will be Darrel McKenzie, who will lead a talk titled “Diamonds are Forever.” Among the club’s special

interest groups that meet each month are Literary, Bridge and Ladybugs. The club holds scholarship fundraisers for Ramona students throughout the year. Its annual tea and fashion show will be held on April 14. For more information about the club and its activities, contact club president Betty Shaw at 760-789-4515.

The Smithereens coming to the PCPA Jan. 23 Poway will be rocking on Saturday, Jan. 23 when The Smithereens perform at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $34 to $54 and are available online at http://www.powaycenter.com or by calling 858-748-0505 or visiting the box office at 15498 Espola Road between noon and 5 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Dinner on the plaza prior to the concert is available for an additional $28. Dinner includes one complimentary beverage and will be catered by Cafe Merlot. The rock band will perform a concert featuring music from The Who’s “Tommy,” as well as many of their own greatest hits and rare favorites as time will allow. “Hopefully, there’s no curfew. We’ll play as long as they’ll let us,” said Patrick DiNizio, lead singer and rhythm guitarist of The Smithereens. “We’ll play until S T A T E

O F

they shut us down.” Formed in 1980 in New Jersey, The Smithereens released their first album, “Especially for You,” in 1986 and have been rocking ever since. “It’s kind of crazy, here we are, 36 years later.” The group’s original lineup was DiNizio, Jim Babjak (vocals and lead guitar), Mike Mesaros (bass guitar and vocals) and Dennis Diken (drums and percussion). Mesaros left the band in 2006, and Severo Jornacion took over as bass guitarist. The Smithereens released “The Smithereens Play Tommy” in 2009, on the 40th anniversary of the original album. They were inspired to do the project after the success of their Beatles tribute album, “Meet The Smithereens!”, which was released in 2007 and featured the band rerecording the entirety of The Beatles’ first album, “Meet The Beatles!” “The ‘Tommy’ project is a strange success story,” said DiNizio. “A few years ago, we knew the 40th anniversary was T H E

A R T

coming up (for “Tommy”) and people said, “you did a successful Beatles tribute album, you should do ‘Tommy’.” They put the album out and it was a success, said DiNizio. DiNizio said The Smithereens will perform several songs from “Tommy” during their concert as well as selected hits from The Who’s discography. In act two of the concert, they will be playing their own big hits, including “Girl Like You,” “Blood and Roses,” “Only a Memory,” “House We Used to Live In” and more. As 2016 marks the 30th anniversary of the release of The Smithereens’ first album, DiNizio said the group will also be playing some rarer songs for fans, as well as much of the first album as they can. “We’ll be doing deep album cuts and rarities,” said DiNizio. “The theme of this particular event is “Tommy,” but it’s much more than that. We’re going to do everything. We have to.”

Dance studio enjoys remodel after flood Continues to weather storms BY KAREN BRAINARD Water has not been a friend to the Ramona-Julian Academy of Dance in the past seven months. The studio, in the strip center at 1530 Main St., experienced extensive flood damage in late June 2015, when the center was in the process of being re-roofed and

a downpour hit. The rain caused some of the ceiling panels to cave in and damaged dance floors and office equipment. Owner Kristi Griffin had to temporarily relocate, moving classes to an empty building on Main Street until the studio could be remodeled. “This whole place was gutted,” she said. Her business was not the only one flooded in the center. While she loves the changes in her studio, she noted that water problems have not subsided. In December, she said, a tenant in the center had a drain back-up and water flooded into the parking lot and seeped under her door and a new maple dance floor. Then, during recent rains some of her ceiling tiles got wet, she said, because some areas of the new roof were not sealed. Through it all, Griffin said she is remaining positive and staff and

parents have been very supportive. “Our parents are just the best,” she said. Giving a tour of the remodeled studio, Griffin enthusiastically pointed out the new color scheme of three shades of teal with black accents for the boutique, bathrooms and her office, noting that she never before had an office. “Makes it kind of crisp looking and pretty,” she said of the color scheme. There is a “food court”— a U-shaped counter where students can eat, and walls are attractively decorated with all the plaques and awards the dance studio has received over the years. “This is all new, all of it,” said Griffin. “The whole place is hardwood maple.” They added a Marley floor over the maple in one of the studios before Christmas break, she added. They even had to get all new tumbling mats and recover chairs. The damages, she said, were $200,000-plus. Griffin said they were covered by her insurance

Griffin then had to find new insurance. She said she has 2,500 square feet of salvaged maple flooring that she is trying to sell. “If anybody’s interested in flooring, I’d love to sell it,” she

said. Next month her students will start competition. There are 60 students on competition teams, and 17 or 18 teams. “A lot of those are solos and duos,” she said.

Girls soccer returns from break with shutout win Bulldog victory is second consecutive shutout win BY JOE NAIMAN The rainfall that postponed two Ramona High School girls soccer games during the first full week of January gave the Bulldogs three weeks between games before Ramona returned to action Jan. 12 with a 3-0 home win over Mar Vista. The victory was the second shutout win in a row for Ramona, who won the San Diego Holiday Jubilee tournament championship with a 3-0 victory Dec. 19 against Sweetwater, although Ramona was on the losing end of a 2-0 shutout Jan. 15 at home against Montgomery, giving the Bulldogs a 6-4 season record entering Valley League play. Ramona travels to Oceanside for Friday's league game in the absence of adverse meteorological circumstances, and the Bulldog boys and girls will spend Saturday at the San Vicente golf course for a fundraising golf tournament, and

Montgomery scored a goal in each half when the Aztecs were at Ramona. When the score was 1-0, a goal on a cross pass from Purvis to Lorentz was nullified because the ball had gone out of bounds before the pass, although the execution of the play pleased Vizcarra. "It was a beautiful cross, beautiful goal," she said. Mar Vista, Montgomery, and Ramona are all in Division IV. The two makeup games are the final non-league games for Ramona before the CIF playoffs.

they desire members of the public to participate in that activity. The makeup dates for the games lost to the early January rains are Jan. 25 at Mira Mesa and Feb. 1 at Escondido. The game against Mar Vista was scoreless at halftime. In the 67th minute of the 80-minute game, Kat Lorentz scored after taking a cross pass from Kendall Purvis. Mikaila McNary converted a penalty kick in the 71st minute, and Jenni Rivera scored an unassisted goal in the 79th minute. "It was a good well-played game," said coach Deena Vizcarra. Nicole Lewis was Ramona's goalkeeper and made five saves in her second shutout of the season. "She did an awesome job," Vizcarra said. Ramona began the game with freshman Olivia Arnold at right defender, junior Sierra Crenshaw at center defender, and sophomore Alondra Ceballos at left defender while utilizing five midfielders

Staff beats varsity by 1 point in annual soccer fundraiser

Ramona High teacher and boys varsity soccer coach Michael Jordan plays on the staff team.

Players on the Ramona High School staff team beat the boys and girls varsity soccer team, 10-9, in the annual staff versus varsity game last Monday. Joining the soccer coaches on the staff team were Assistant Principal Ed VanHoose, English teacher Michael Morfin, chemistry teacher Alexandra Cavell, staff member Armando Macias and special guest Scott Poortinga, who generally announces the games. The annual game is a fundraiser for the boys and girls soccer program at the school. This year's game raised about $150, reported girls varsity coach Deena Vizcarra.

Bulldogs win girls water polo league opener BY JOE NAIMAN Although Ramona High School's girls water polo team lost its first three January games, the Bulldogs won their Valley League opener at Oceanside on Jan. 15. The 14-4 win gave Ramona a 4-6 overall record along with the 1-0 league figure. The Bulldogs will host Classical Academy in Thursday's Valley League match and will participate in the East County Invitational tournament Friday and Saturday. "It was good to get the league opener, even in a challenging pool," coach Donnie Williams said. "A lot of girls stepped up." Simple rain will not cancel a water polo game, since the players will be wet from being in the pool, but thunderstorms create a risk of lightning strikes, and Ramona's Jan. 6 game against Vista at The Wave was postponed until Feb. 3. Ramona's first game since a 7-6 home victory Dec. 9 against San

Pasqual was thus a Jan. 9 contest against Mission Hills at Palomar College. The Grizzlies prevailed by a 20-9 margin. "They had one girl that was really dominant," Williams said. "We had a hard time matching up." The teams combined for 22 20-second exclusion penalties, including 12 against Ramona. Two Bulldogs received three exclusions and were majored, or removed, from the game. "That made a big difference," Williams said. Ramona traveled to Westview for a Jan. 12 game. "I knew it was going to be tough,â&#x20AC;? said Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Westview's been strong all year." The Wolverines scored all four first-quarter goals, and the second-quarter results gave Westview a 6-2 halftime lead. "That quarter we actually went even with SEE WATER POLO, A14

Boys soccer ties No. 1 team Bulldogs shut out Sage Creek BY JOE NAIMAN

THE SMITHEREENS play TOMMY

Saturday, Jan. 23 | 8pm

Ramona High School's boys soccer team played a home match Jan. 13 against Mission Hills, which entered the week as the county's top-ranked boys soccer team, and obtained a 1-1 draw against the Grizzlies. "It was a good draw for us," said coach Michael Jordan. The tie and a 4-0 victory Jan. 15 at Sage Creek gave Ramona a 6-4-2 record entering Valley League competition. If weather permits, the Bulldogs have a league home game Friday against Oceanside. The Bulldog boys and girls also participated in a varsity-staff game Jan. 11 in Ramona High School's gymnasium. A dozen faculty or coaching staff members earned a 10-9 victory over the varsity players, and the game raised approximately $150 for the boys and girls programs. "It was a great turnout," Jordan said. The varsity girls played in the first and third quarters and the varsity boys competed during the second and fourth periods. The boys were unable to score the equalizing goal at the end.

THE HOT SARDINES

"Scott Poortinga, who is our announcer, was just lights out in goal. He was amazing," Jordan said. "The voice of the Bulldogs came up big for us in goal." The two goals in the 1-1 tie with Mission Hills were scored within a minute of each other. After the Grizzlies scored, the next possession ended with Koscanny Luna passing to Eddy Saucedo, who placed the ball into the net for the Ramona goal. "It's a nice testament to our boys.

They didn't let down," Jordan said. The game was scoreless after those first-half goals. “Our defense played fantastic. Tony came up with some great saves," Jordan said. Ramona goalkeeper Tony Solis was credited with 12 saves against Mission Hills. "Some of them were obviously bigger than others," Jordan said. Mission Hills ended the week ranked second in the CIF San Diego Section. "A draw against the No. 2 team in the county is pretty neat," Jordan said. Sage Creek is a third-year school with no seniors. Saucedo scored all four of the Bulldogs' goals within a 10-minute span during the first half and had the first three of those within six minutes of each other. Due to injuries only 17 of the 21 boys on Ramona's roster were able to play against the Bobcats, but Jordan used as many substitutes as possible. Solis played the entire game and made five saves in his second shutout of the season. Ramona's starting defenders were outside backs Jesus "Momo" Gutierrez and Nick Espinoza and center backs Chaco Castro and Manny Velasco. "I wanted to try something SEE SOCCER, A14

FROM WATER POLO, A11 them," Williams said. Westview had an 11-4 advantage after three periods and won the game by a 17-5 margin. "It got away from us a little bit," Williams said. The Bulldogs traveled to Valhalla for a Jan. 14 contest. The Norsemen scored the game's first three goals and led 3-1 after the first quarter. Valhalla accrued a 10-1 lead by halftime. "They had a big quarter," Williams said. The score was 12-2 after three periods, and Valhalla ended the game with an 18-3 victory. "We were just kind of getting outplayed," Williams said. Oceanside High School has historically played home games at Brook Street Pool, but the Pirates faced Ramona in Marshall Street Pool. That is a shallow-deep pool, although the shallow ends had the goalkeepers standing in approximately 3 feet of water. "It was a challenge even more so than ours," Williams said. "I felt we struggled at times with the challenges of the pool." The Pirates scored the game's first goal, but Ramona had the other four scores in the first period. "We had several other opportunities. I think we rushed our stuff," Williams said. Oceanside scored the first two goals of the second period before Ramona concluded first-half scoring with a 7-3 lead. "We continued to push after that," Williams said. Williams replaced first-half goalie Ciera Webb-Martin with Kallan Campa for the final two quarters. Campa held the Pirates to one goal in the second half while making four saves comprised of two in each quarter. Ramona's lead after three periods was 11-4. Maddie Schwegler scored five goals against Oceanside. Ashley Kurtz placed four shots into the net. Katelyn Dodd scored twice. Julia Mesa scored her first varsity goal in the Jan. 15 game, and Avery Campa and Carney Flinn also had one goal apiece. Bryn Jordan, who spent December on the junior varsity squad, had her first varsity assist. Flinn, Schwegler, Webb-Martin and Campa also each had one assist, and Kurtz contributed two assists.

Burn Institute offers free smoke alarms for seniors The Burn Institute’s Senior Smoke Alarm Program provides seniors with free smoke alarms and installation. National safety statistics show that adults age 65 and older are two times more likely to die in a home fire than any other segment of the population, and for those over age 75 that risk nearly quadruples.

Despite that, thousands of seniors throughout San Diego and Imperial counties live in homes without a working smoke alarm, reported Susan Day, Burn Institute executive director. Screened and trained volunteers assist the Burn Institute year-round in installing the free smoke alarms. To qualify for this lifesaving program, persons must be 62 years

or older, own their own home, and not have a working smoke alarm. To sign up for this program, or learn if you qualify, call the Burn Institute at 858-541-2277, ext. 18. “One way seniors can improve the chances of escaping a home fire is by making sure their home is equipped with working smoke alarms,” said Day. The majority of fatal home fires

occur at night, and the smell of smoke won’t always wake a person, according to the Burn Institute. “In fact, fire produces toxic gases which can put you into a deeper sleep,” reads information from the institute. “Having a working smoke alarm in your home cuts your chances of dying in a house fire by 50 percent because it alerts you to the danger in time to escape.”

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.

Shania, a 5-year-old

American Staffordshire Terrier mix, is looking for a new family. She was found as a stray last August, and has been showing her caregivers what a sweet and talented girl she is. When she’s out for playtime, this silly girl loves to sit in chairs, play with toys and run around the yard. The shelter has been quite stressful on this loving girl because she can’t get the affection she craves from a family, so she doesn’t always put her best paw forward while in her kennel. But if you give her a chance, Shania is one of the most social and affectionate dogs you’ll ever meet. She loves to be snuggled and will often rest her head in your lap until she falls asleep. If you’re looking for a dog who will stick by your side, she’s the girl for you! Shania is available for adoption at the San Diego humane Society’s Oceanside Campus at 2905 San Luis Rey Road. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 757-4357. CA01000270 15. 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.

Any prospective buyer wishing to reside in the unit must qualify for that right via the application and approval process. Details are available at the Mobile Home Park onsite office. In the event that a post-sale agreement re: future occupancy is not reached, then the Mobile Home Park owner reserves the right to require the removal of the mobilehome within 48 hours after the sale.

Ramona Homes & Real Estate What's trending in hardwood flooring (BPT) — After months of online browsing, you've found the perfect, wide plank hardwood flooring. Or so you think! You absolutely love the look, but how can you be sure it's the right product for you? Ask the pros. To make an informed, purchasing decision, Linda Jovanovich of the American Hardwood Information Center (www.hardwoodinfo.com) suggests you do your research. "All hardwood flooring is not the same," she says. "Consulting with the experts will help determine if your product of choice will perform well in your unique home or office environment, and in your part of the country. And a little extra due diligence will eliminate guesswork and the pain of an improper product choice."

engineered hardwood flooring, and the appropriate applications for each. Solid hardwood flooring is just that, solid wood milled to a three-quarter inch thickness that can be installed only on a subfloor of wood, plywood or oriented strand board. Because of its thickness, it can be sanded and refinished over several

generations of use. As a natural product, it will expand and contract with the humidity changes in the home or office. To compensate for this movement, installers should leave an expansion gap between the wood flooring and the wall, and install baseboard moulding or quarter round to hide the extra space. Remember, solid hardwood flooring cannot

be glued onto concrete, does not perform well in high-moisture areas, and can require up to 14 days of acclimation time. Engineered hardwood flooring is not one solid piece of wood, but rather a cross-layer construction of five to nine layers of hardwood, bonded together using heat and pressure. As a result of this process, engineered flooring is less likely to be affected by changes in humidity, reducing expansion and contraction. In most cases, it can be sanded and refinished, but special care must be taken with the thinner profiles. And it can be glued onto concrete, making it an appropriate choice for all levels — upstairs, ground level and basements — and a great choice for what's all the rage these days — wide

plank flooring.

Another great resource

The flooring professionals at the National Wood Flooring Association, www.nwfa.org, concur. Requests for wider boards, random widths and rustic species full of character and color continue to dominate the hardwood flooring marketplace. “It's a significant trend that will likely continue for quite some time," says Brett Miller, association vice president of education and certification. "And it is a trend that can present certain challenges, especially if the installation is subpar and the end user is uninformed." So, act wisely and be in-the-know. Engage the services of professional, certified flooring installers.

These knowledgeable craftsmen understand the importance of acclimation and the control of temperature and relative humidity. They in turn will pass that information on to you, the end user. An educated customer is a happy one.
