Planners want answers on parking at Mt. Woodson BY KAREN BRAINARD Tired of seeing no government solutions to the safety hazards posed by Mt. Woodson hikers who park along state Route 67, the Ramona Community Planning Group is requesting some answers. “We’re very concerned there’s going to be a death,” planner Jim Cooper said at the group’s Jan. 12 meeting. “And it’s just a matter of time until there’s a serious accident or a pedestrian is hit related to that parking.” Every day hikers’ vehicles line the shoulders of Route 67 at Mt. Woodson and residents have repeatedly brought it to the attention of government officials. The planning group reached out to the county about two years ago. Weekends draw hundreds of hikers, some of whom run across the highway with pets or children in tow to reach the trail. Although the highway opens up to two lanes in each direction in that area, drivers often avoid traveling in the right lane for fear a hiker will suddenly
open his car door or a vehicle will stop to back into a parking spot — a maneuver that California Highway Patrol said is legal on a state highway. “We’ve had numerous accidents there,” Cooper said. In December, a vehicle was rear-ended when the driver was preparing to park on the highway. Last September, a driver made an illegal U-turn while looking for a parking spot and didn’t see a Toyota Yaris next to him. His action caused the Yaris to flip over but no one was seriously hurt, according to CHP. Complicating the matter is that the mountain and surrounding area involves many jurisdictions. The upper portion of the mountain is owned by the City of San Diego. The County of San Diego owns land at the base and has said some of it could be used for a parking lot but to reach it from the highway requires crossing state property as Cal Fire owns a station there.

Homeless count Friday Volunteers needed BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON Two Ramona men are coordinating the fourth annual homeless count in Ramona: Vietnam veteran Dave Patterson and Pastor Mark Baker of Light of the Lamb Ministry.
850 Main Street, Suite 106 Ramona, CA 92065

The count in Ramona, scheduled for Friday, Jan. 26, is part of a countywide We All Count homeless census the San Diego Regional Task Force conducts. Results help determine the amount of federal money that will go to homeless services.
Patterson and Baker, who have participated in past counts, will divide their efforts. Patterson will meet with volunteers at Jack in the Box, 1056 Main St., at 7 a.m. to canvass the town for homeless people living in makeshift shelters, vehicles, and abandoned homes and other structures. Those interested in joining him are asked to contact him at 760-207-9139 or Dpatterson998@yahoo.com.

Baker will interview homeless persons to determine their needs from 6 to 11 a.m. in Collier Park, 626 E St., if it is not raining. If it is raining, the interviews will be in Bakers’ church at 318 Seventh St. To assure as accurate a count as possible, Baker asks that persons unable to be at the park or church on Friday call or text him at 619-723-8839.

FROM WOODSON, A1 Caltrans has the say on any decisions about Route 67 as it is a state highway. And, the west side of the mountain is owned by the City of Poway. Cooper made a motion to send a letter to County Supervisor Dianne Jacob and Caltrans requesting that a complete detailed presentation be made before the planning group, outlining the drawbacks to creating a parking lot for Mt. Woodson hikers and how long it will take to complete. The motion passed unanimously. “I think we need to have somebody come before us and tell us what the heck is going on and why is it a problem and what do we need to do to solve the problem.” Cooper said. The parking issue is not a new one. Mt. Woodson Road resident Jim Edwards has been waiting nearly 30 years for it to be solved. Edwards told planners that in 1987, “you couldn’t park on Mt. Woodson Road.” Residents complained about the parking. When Edwards’ neighbor at the time, the late Gordon “Moose” Whitcomb, discovered that a portion of the stone bridge off Mt. Woodson Road that was used by hikers and City of San Diego staff was within his

Woodson.” Twenty-nine years later, a parking lot and toilets still do not exist at the site. “As time went on, they (city) relieved us of parking by giving us ‘no parking’ signs,” Edwards said. Access to the trail was moved farther up SR-67, he said, noting that hikers use part of an actual trail that was installed in the 1930s by the California Conservation Corps. Most of the hike, however, is up the service road that leads to the mountaintop where a fire tower once stood. Now there are communications towers on land that the city leases. But what draws the hikers is Potato Chip

Rock, a landmark that has gone viral worldwide. There is another trail to Mt. Woodson and Potato Chip Rock — up the west side of the mountain from Lake Poway. On a recent Saturday at Lake Poway, several hikers inquired about the hike to Mt. Woodson. A sign shows the route, and the ranger said it can take three to four hours. The eight-mile round trip from Lake Poway is about twice the distance as the trail off SR-67. A three- to four-hour hike was too long for four young men visiting from Ireland who said they heard about another route to Potato Chip Rock that was shorter. Such was the case with several other hikers who decided to head over to Ramona’s side of the mountain.

Storms topple trees, flood roadways A series of three storms that grew progressively more intense in the past week had residents reaching for sandbags, checking Facebook and websites for the latest reports of road closures, and taking advantage of breaks in the weather to stock up on supplies. Ramona received 6.48 inches of rain since last Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service at Ramona Airport. This follows a heavier than normal rainfall in December, when Ramona received 5.39 inches of rain, more than double its December 2015 total and 241 percent of normal, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters predicted the end of the third storm would be late Tuesday, with drier and gradually warmer conditions Wednesday and Thursday, and an even more pronounced warm-up Friday through Sunday. While Ramonans experienced periods of heavy rain, high winds and even a Monday afternoon thunderstorm, other areas were harder hit. Schools in Julian, Spencer Valley, Warner Springs, and Mountain Empire were among those closed Monday and Tuesday. On Friday, San Diego County Office of Emergency Services told residents and businesses experiencing significant damage to

Compiling total damage costs throughout the county will determine if the county qualifies for state or federal disaster recovery assistance, officials said. Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday declared a state of emergency for San Diego County due to storm damage that included flooding, erosion and mud. Ramona, county, and state emergency crews stayed busy as trees toppled everywhere from Highland Valley Road in west Ramona to Del Amo Road in San Diego Country

Estates. A downed tree blocked San Diego Avenue, and a vehicle found itself nearly submerged in water on Ramona Street near H Street when its driver apparently ignored the Road Closed sign early Friday evening. Reports of mudslides and falling rocks and boulders came from state Route 78 and Poway Grade, and in the five-day period that ended about 5 p.m. Monday, 9.99 inches of rain fell on Palomar Mountain, 9.98 inches in Julian, 9.56 inches at Lake Cuyamaca, 8.93 inches in Pine Hills, 8.35 inches on Mt. Woodson, and 6.82 inches in Santa Ysabel.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Donald Trump, change agent BY CONGRESSMAN DUNCAN HUNTER With every new presidency comes real opportunity for real change. Over the last eight years, Americans have become ever more disillusioned with politics as usual and that sentiment was expressed, loud and clear, at the ballot box last November. Politics is as much about timing as it is good fortune, but every now and then a candidate comes along with real backbone — as did Donald Trump. Mr. Trump capitalized on the frustration of the American people, promising to be an agent for change and an agitator of the status quo. It wasn’t seen as just talk. Only time will tell the type of president that Mr. Trump will be, and whether he’ll be able to follow through on his many promises. There will be little to no honeymoon for Mr. Trump, with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi steering the priorities of congressional Democrats, but with Mr. Trump, what you see is what you get. Against any political opposition, honesty and sincerity wins every time, and Mr. Trump will undoubtedly have the advantage. Based on form so far, Mr. Trump is a sure bet to always do what he thinks is right and what he thinks is in the national interest. Political shortcuts don’t seem to be in his playbook. The same goes for the team Trump’s assembled, which reflects his own desire to talk straight with the American public and not mince words. Two of his selections for key leadership posts are obvious proof. James Mattis as secretary of Defense and John Kelly as secretary of Homeland Security are not just among the most talented leaders in America, both men are walking testaments of core values and the virtues of public service. Not once through their military careers as Marine Corps officers did they soften their views to avoid offending the political class. So much so, it hurt their standing with the Obama administration. Under President Trump, they’re unlikely to have that same problem. No member of Congress or the American public will ever have to wonder where these men stand, no different than their commander in chief. That alone is cause for optimism. It’s also a signal that America once again, through its leadership, will retake a leading role in the world. No more apologies. No more excuses. Alliances that have been tattered will be rebuilt. American warfighters will no longer be constrained on the battlefield and the warrior ethos that once upheld America’s military will be restored. On the home front, there’s great prospect for American manufacturing. Trade opportunities will no longer give favor to U.S. competitors over American workers. And for once, there’s a real commitment on behalf of a president to secure the Southwest border and consistently but fairly apply federal immigration laws. Just the fact alone that sanctuary cities and states have been put on notice is more than any President in modern history has done with regard to the problem. That counts for something. Mr. Trump will have strong collaborators in Congress to implement his agenda, although SEE TRUMP, A6
GUEST COMMENTARY
Work together to solve problems BY GLENN MOLLETTE By the time you read this column the inauguration is over. Like it or not Donald Trump is your president. Even if you claim he is not your president — he is. If you continue your citizenship in America he is your president. I heard and read reports of people who said they would leave the United States if Trump were elected president. How many have left or when are they leaving? Don't let the door hit you on the behind when you leave. Actually, that's not the attitude to have. The correct attitude is, "Come on, people, now love one another" or something like that. I'm all for us loving and hugging each other but it doesn't seem to be on the horizon for our country. I voted for Obama the first time but I voted for Trump this time. One of the reasons I voted for Obama was because of healthcare and stem cell research. We must have stem cell research to
find cures for numerous diseases. I was impacted greatly by healthcare with a very sick spouse for 12 years. I know the pain of a medical insurance crisis. I voted against Obama because he and Congress messed up healthcare so bad. I voted for Trump not necessarily because I am now a registered Republican but because we desperately need a new direction in this country. We have few jobs, a failing economy, failing infrastructure, growing poverty, tremendous despair and a nation run over by illegal immigrants. We also have a healthcare crisis. Of all the candidates I saw Trump as being in the best position to do some things to change our spiraling direction as a nation. Congress people who have pledged to not attend Trump's inauguration were free to stay home. Hopefully when their districts vote again they will let them stay home SEE ELECTION, A6
OUR READERS WRITE Donald J. Trump’s Great Wall of America Donald J. Trump's premier campaign promise was to construct a 2,000-mile long, 50-foot high Great Wall of America. He said the wall will cost $8 billion to $10 billion. He vows to complete the project under budget and ahead of schedule. Scientists at MIT who thoroughly evaluated the project determined that even a 1,000-mile wall would cost $38 billion. Trump thinks the cost overrun for the wall doesn't matter because Mexico is going to reimburse us for the full expense. Right Donald. Check's in the mail. The fact is, Mexico will never refund a single penny. Trump visited Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto last September. The financing of the wall was never even discussed. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox, when informed early last
year that his country would pay for the wall, bellowed out a string of expletives. Donald Trump does not represent Hispanic Americans who comprise nearly 18 percent of America's 323 million people. During the campaign, he called undocumented workers “rapists and murderers.” He ridiculed a San Diego federal judge for not being impartial simply because he was of Mexican heritage when he was actually born in Indiana, Vice President Mike Pence's home state. Trump has nominated dozens of high level prospective cabinet members, but as of inaugural day not a single Hispanic. Trump has vowed to deport more than 11 million undocumented aliens, men, women, and children. This is an impossible feat. The only way to round up these families will be to construct internment camps in border states like California. Peter W. Quercia Ramona

FROM ELECTION, A4 permanently. How will they feel if Trump and a Republican-led Congress decide not to give additional money to their districts and refuse to work with them on any bills they might offer to Congress? I don't think that's the American way, but sadly it has become the American way. I'm not into an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Congress will have its own prerogatives and demand mutual respect for the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution — even if sometimes painful. It’s a delicate relationship that Mr. Trump will need to learn to balance, but when he does he’ll find that Congress as a whole shares his passion and commitment to make America great. For that, his team will be invaluable. Figures like Vice President Mike Pence understand the executive-legislative dynamic. Department heads like Jeff Sessions, Ryan Zinke, Tom Price, and Mick Mulvaney have held elected office and their past experiences will not just help Mr. Trump navigate the waters but also be an asset to forging and maintaining good relationships with lawmakers. Mr. Trump has all the right tools. He’s got the right message and he’s got a spine stiff enough to see it through. Mr. Trump would be wise to remember what propelled him to the White House. No less, he must not forget that when Americans voted for real change, they really meant it. Congressman Duncan Hunter, a Republican, is chairman of the House Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee. Ramona is among communities he represents in the 50th District.

the Chargers players and their contributions to the community, all I can say to Mr. Spanos is good riddance. He betrayed San Diego fans and that's something a lot of us won't ever forget. I think we now have an opportunity to turn the Qualcomm Stadium site into a regional attraction we can all be proud of, with perhaps a world-class entertainment and sports complex,
What we all need to see are Democrats and Republicans and Independents crossing the aisle, shaking hands and working together to bring jobs back to America. Together they must work to save our infrastructure crisis. Bring safe and clean water to America's communities. Infuse hope into our struggling military and elevating our beaten down veterans. Equal opportunities and equal rights for all can only happen if the people in Washington treat each other with equal respect. This means doing unto others the

Detective educates students on Internet safety BY KAREN BRAINARD “Be careful what you put out there," a sheriff's detective cautioned fifth- and sixth-graders at Ramona Elementary about posting online. The Internet Safety program on Jan. 19 covered topics such as cyberbullying, social media, sexual predators, gaming, and protecting personal information and reputation. Detective Juan Fletes, a 30-year veteran with San Diego County Sheriff's Department, showed a screen of online application icons including Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr. Many hands went up when Fletes asked students how many were familiar with YouTube. He told students that what they post online will never go away and many will end up having access to it. "Once you friend me, I'll have access to all your friends," he said, telling students not to accept anyone they do not know as a social media friend and to tell their parents. He also told them to think ahead to the future. College admissions staff, sports coaches, and employers will check social media sites of potential students, employees, or participating sports team members. What is posted will matter, he said. Fletes touched on hate speech and cyberbullying — spreading rumors or gossip about someone through cell phones or Internet or using someone’s identification to create a fake account. “We have to be respectful of our friends, respectful of all people,” he said.
KAREN BRAINARD
Detective Juan Fletes with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department listens to a student's question during his Internet Safety presentation to fifth- and sixth-graders at Ramona Elementary School. Cyberbullied children experience low self-esteem, feel lonely, and are nervous about going online or to school, said Fletes. He told the students that if they see someone say something inappropriate, tell them to stop, and if they are ever bullied they should change their email or phone number and report it to a parent, trusted friend, school personnel, or law enforcement. One student asked if it’s possible for someone to alter a photo posted online.
Fletes said it is and programs today can make it difficult to tell that it’s not real. While social media is considered cool, he said, "there's so many abuses." “You have to really, really be aware. It absolutely matters,” Fletes said. Do not post personal information and if someone asks you to send a picture without clothes on, don’t do it, warned the detective. Online predators prey on children, forcing or convincing them to do something, he said.
He cautioned the students against using profanity and self-destructive photos, and told them to make sure the geo locate service is turned off on the computer and cell phone as that will tell people, including a predator, exactly where they are. Children have been known to stay up texting all night, unbeknownst to their parents, and the date and time of those posts can be accessed, he said. When Fletes asked how many participate in gaming on social networks, the majority of students raised their hands. Sexual predators, he said, will go on game sites, befriend minors and ask their user name and email to communicate. Create a gender-neutral game tag, he advised, never give information such as school and age, and “Never, never meet someone from the gaming world.” The Internet Safety program is offered by the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, a grant-funded task force that is comprised of federal, state and local agencies, and prosecutors who work together to combat the exploitation of children online. While a major component of the San Diego ICAC is to identify and prosecute subjects who are sexually targeting underage youth, a secondary component is public outreach to prevent victimization of youth. School administrators or group organizers who would like a San Diego ICAC Task Force representative to give a free Internet Safety presentation may contact the ICAC office at 858-715-7100.

Stephanie Norvell and Chris Anderson visit with Congressman Duncan Hunter when they pick up the Inauguration Day tickets he gave them.
Ramonans join ‘sea of people’ at Inauguration Chris Anderson and Stephanie Norvell of Town & Country Real Estate and Home Loans took a once-in-a-lifetime detour after attending a real estate conference in New York City last week and before returning to Ramona. They joined the throngs of people at President Donald J. Trump’s Inauguration in Washington, D.C., on Friday. “We stood outside for six and a half hours, slammed in like sardines, and yet we all had fun,” Anderson in an email report. “There were people in trees even!” They were glad they arrived at the airport early and took an earlier flight
to the nation’s capital last Thursday. While waiting to board the plane they saw Trump’s first wife, Ivana Trump, and three family members being escorted onto their plane. Norvell greeted her when they boarded the plane, and when the plane landed they talked to her at the baggage claim. “(We) told her how excited we were to be at this inauguration and how we are looking forward to President Donald Trump ‘Making America Great Again,’” said Anderson. “She replied, ‘Me, too!’ She was kind enough to allow us to take a photo with her.” They appreciated the time
Congressman Duncan Hunter spent with them Friday morning, when they also met his mother, and thanked him for the Inauguration Day tickets. “From his office in the Rayburn Building we walked over to the Capitol,” said Anderson. “It was a peaceful and organized experience. There was a lot of walking as there were many street closures. “What we experienced was very happy people wearing red hats that say ‘Make America Great Again,’ military personnel, and patriotic Americans who love this country.” When the Inauguration started, the cheering was deafening, and swells of

Water district receives favorable audit BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Municipal Water District’s audit for fiscal year 2015-16 received a favorable opinion, district staff told directors at their Jan. 10 meeting “The opinion indicates that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the district as of June 2016,” said Richard Hannasch, district chief financial officer. The third party auditors, Squar Milner LLP, completed the report the last week of December, he said. The district is audited annually by an independent certified public accounting firm. Director Jim Hickle noted that operating revenues decreased by 1 percent, to approximately $26.06 million, and total operating expenses also decreased by 1 percent, to about $28.39 million. "And that takes good leadership," Hickle said. The reduction in operating revenues and expenses was attributable to water conservation efforts by district customers, according to the report. The audit shows district assets of $109.98 million, which includes $37 million in cash and investments and nearly $67 million in capital assets. Total liabilities amount to about $15.9 million. The report is available on the district's website, rmwd.org, click the "Publications" tab at the top, then under "Financial Documents" click "CAFR" (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report).

Going Nuts Over Seeds — Part 2
W
hen I was growing up, chia pets were all the rage. As a gag for my Sweet 16 birthday, one of my friends gave me a kitschy chia dog that magically grew a luxurious “fur” coat after I placed hundreds of tiny chia seeds on the canine’s bare body, and watered them religiously for several days. Today I still embrace those precious chia seeds, but now I sprinkle them on everything from acai bowls, smoothies and hot cereals to green salads, pastas, and stir fries, along with blending them in pancakes, scones, muffins and quick breads to dial up flavor, texture and add a nutritional oomph. The chia plant or chia sage botanically known as Salvia hispanica, a native of the Mexican central valley, and staple of the Aztec and Mayan diets for thousands of years, has ironically transformed into a trendy new superfood of the Western world. The petite, elliptically-shaped black seed has Herculean powers, especially being hydrophilic. Having the ability to absorb more than 10 times its weight in water makes this potent oilseed both hydrating for athletes and healthful for diabetics as it puts the skids on the rate at which carbs are converted into sugars.

Seeds can offer a variety of health benefits. Soaked in almond, soy or coconut milk for an hour, the wondrous seeds form a gelatinous mixture that makes a refreshing fresca or indulgent pudding. There’s more. Having a rich store of vitamins, minerals, proteins, dietary fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, this translates to multiple benefits for mind, body and soul. Feeling sluggish and logy? Chia seeds boost energy and enhance your work-out regimen. Have brittle bones and chalky teeth? Chia seeds are a calcium powerhouse beating out milk by a long shot. Your ticker need tweaking? Chias reduce inflammation, bad cholesterol and blood pressure levels to keep

the heart and constitution humming. Want to shed some holiday pounds? These slimming seeds regulate digestion and slow down food absorption. As an added boon, they’re gluten-free with a heap of antioxidants to ward off harmful and aging free radicals. At last, the high fatty acid profile lubricates brain cells to keep you sharp and alert. Hearty and stable, chias have a long shelf life, unlike flax seeds that turn rancid quickly if not stored in a cool, dark place. Another seed-related flashback to my youth relates to buckwheat, which my grandmother sautéed with onions and mushrooms, and tossed with little bow tie pastas (recipe provided) as a side dish for chicken, brisket or fish. The kernels would perfume her kitchen with a distinct earthiness, so strong it would trail out the door. Once considered an ethnic dish popularly served at delis and other Jewish eateries, buckwheat is making a culinary conversion, becoming part of the mainstream repertoire of chefs coast to coast. Of ancient Central Asian origins, buckwheat is a misnomer, since it is neither a wheat, grass nor cereal grain, though its chewy texture rife with complex carbs earned it the moniker “pseudo-cereal.” A member of the rhubarb and sorrel family, buckwheat is a pyramid-shaped seed coated with a black hull. When the latter is removed, the kernel or groat is exposed, which can be ground into buckwheat flour to impart a nutty flavor to pancakes, breads or Japanese soba noodles. When prepared toasted and whole, the seed is commonly called “kasha,” enjoyed as a sweet breakfast cereal, tossed in salads to add a protein load for a complete meal, molded into toothsome vegetable burgers, or used as a
Kasha Varnishkes ■ Ingredients (Serves 4): • 1 cup buckwheat (kasha), whole or coarse • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1 sweet onion, diced • 1 cup mushrooms (crimini, button, oyster, your choice), sliced • 1 large egg, beaten • 2 cups broth (chicken, vegetable or mushroom) • 1 cup (cooked, drained) whole-wheat bow tie pasta (farfalle) ■ Method: Heat oil on medium in a covered saucepan and sauté onions and mushrooms until tender. In a mixing bowl, blend kasha, egg and seasoning. Add to saucepan. Cook on medium until groats separate. Add broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covering pot until liquid is absorbed (about 10 minutes). Toss in pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley. filling for cabbage rolls or a rice substitute. Buckwheat contains a motherlode of gluten-free, anti-inflammatory nutrients, including vitamins B1 and B2 for metabolic functions and stress relief, iron and copper to pump up blood health, magnesium for normal muscle, nerve and bone function, and trace minerals, such as, phosphorous, zinc, and selenium to store energy and boost the immune system.

Abarca joins Mexican national volleyball team BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School senior Armando Abarca Jr. has dual citizenship, and that as well as his volleyball skills resulted in an invitation to become a member of the Mexican national volleyball team. Abarca, who turns 18 on Feb. 11, accepted the invitation Dec. 17. His first practice with the national team was Dec. 19 in Tijuana. "It's just a great honor, and I'm glad that I get to play at such a high level," Abarca said. Abarca had been asked to join the national team last year (although with no guarantee that he would be on the Olympic team), but he turned down the offer due to his school workload and the four-hour round trip to drive between Ramona and Tijuana. "It takes a while to get down there," he said. "I focused on school a lot." In addition to focusing on classes his junior year, he participated in a successful return to the Ramona High School volleyball team. Abarca made the Bulldogs' varsity as a freshman, but during the first tournament of his sophomore year he was the victim of a concussion and was not cleared to play until after the
Ramona High senior Armando Abarca, who plays with the Mexican national volleyball team, stands in front of the Comite Olimpico Mexicano in Tijuana. end of the season. Abarca's junior year included a team-record 447 kills and his first all-league recognition when the Avocado East League coaches placed him on the league's first team. His season’s kill statistic led the league and was also the sixth best in the history of CIF San Diego Section volleyball. Abarca has also played club volleyball for four years. He began with the Seaside organization based in Poway, spent his second year with the Coast club based in La Jolla, and

As a senior Abarca is taking only five classes, so he accepted the Mexican national team's most recent offer. "I'm not having to take as many classes," he said. The national team practices in Tijuana three times each week. Abarca is considering a career in the medical field after he completes his college studies. He has not decided upon a school but hopes to sign a letter of intent Feb. 1, which is the first
day such college commitments can be signed. Both of Abarca's parents were born in Mexico and came to the United States as children. His father, Armando Abarca Sr., has lived in Ramona since 1988 and played on Ramona High School's boys volleyball team before graduating from Ramona High School in 1993. Armando Abarca Jr. is a lifelong Ramona resident. He attended Ramona Elementary School and Olive Peirce Middle School before beginning his Ramona High School activities.
BY DAN BROWN Ramona traveled to Orange Glen last Thursday and man-handled Orange Glen to set up a showdown with Escondido for the 2017 Valley League Championship. Savannah Kiddoo lost a tough 14-8 decision in the 108 lb. weight class. Aden Wilson (115) and Nathan Kiddoo (122) won by forfeit. Jeffrey Ramsthaler (128) and Kevin Gonzales (134) had dominating wins of 15-0 and 13-3, respectively. Then Jordan Castro (140) and Jacob Rodriguez (147) scored pins over their opponents. Bryce Megna, a sophomore wrestling at 154, was pinned by his opponent. Antonio Naya (162), one of the top ranked freshman wrestlers in the county, pinned his opponent. Brandon Setterberg (172) scored a victory over his opponent, 10-5. Kaleb Billingsley (184) won by forfeit. Josh Diaz (197) pinned his opponent and Jacob McElwee (222) scored a 8-4 win. Byron Napier, filling in for the injured Travis Johnson in the heavyweight division, made the most of his opportunity and pinned his opponent. Ramona won the lopsided dual meet 63-10. “We wrestled really well in spite of the fact the half our team is either sick or banged up,” said head coach Tyson Knierim. “Heavyweight Travis Johnson did not attend the meet due to injury and Setterberg won his match even though he was sick. We had a talk with the team about being tough and knowing that if these seniors wanted to win league this year, we had to wrestle like champions every time we step on the mat.” The team got a glimpse of the future as Antonio Naya, a freshman who has been having a lot of success at the junior varsity and freshman meets, was bumped up to varsity and showed very well at Orange Glen. This Thursday at home, the undefeated Bulldogs in league will face Escondido, a team that is also undefeated. The winner will be Valley League champion. The varsity matches will start at 7 p.m. “We are hoping to do some things to help fill the gym this Thursday. The guys have worked very hard this year and they could use the home town support, said Knierim.”

Prep Girls Soccer
Prep Girls Water Polo
Water Dawgs take third Injured players expected back in East County Invite Maddie Schwegler on all-tournament team BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s girls water polo team placed third in the six-day East County Invitational that ended Saturday. The Bulldogs won four of their five tournament games and concluded the week with a 9-7 overall season record. The week's seven games also included a Valley League victory Jan. 19 at Valley Center to give Ramona a 2-0 mark in league competition. "I'm proud of the girls. The growth of the team has been steady all the way through," said Ramona coach Donnie Williams. Two of Ramona's tournament games were played Jan. 16 at West Hills High School. The first was a 13-3 victory over Orange Glen. "We were able to get a lot of our younger players, less experienced players, a lot more time," Williams said. "It paid off later in the tournament." Eight different players scored goals for Ramona. Alyssa Gutierrez had three goals, Maddie Schwegler and Alyxis Trampus scored twice apiece, and five players had one goal including the first varsity goal for Ashley Cortez. "I thought they played well," Williams said. "I thought it was a good game for us." The Bulldogs also won their second Jan. 16 game, which was against Santana, but by a 6-5 score. "That was a closer game," Williams said. "They had a couple of good shooters." The Sultans scored the game's first goal, but Schwegler scored the other two goals of the first quarter and then scored in the second period to give Ramona a 3-1 lead. Santana narrowed the halftime margin to 3-2, but the score was 6-3 after three periods. Both of the fourth-quarter goals were by Santana players. "They put on a big push," Williams said. The one-goal margin provided a test for Ramona goalkeeper Ciera Webb-Martin as well as the defensive skills of Ramona's field players. "We played solid defense the last
minute and a half," Williams said. "Ciera made some key saves." Eight Ramona players were ill prior to the Jan. 16 games, so Williams had to limit the pool time of individual players. "I was trying to manage the players' health as well," he said. A non-league and non-tournament game Jan. 17 at Westview ended as a 12-5 Wolverines victory. Although Westview had a 5-1 lead after one quarter, the halftime score was 7-3. "I was not disappointed at all. I think our defense is improved," Williams said. Valley Center scored the first goal in the Jan. 19 game at Adams Park Community Pool. "Then Maddie went on a tear," Williams said. Schwegler scored the game's next four goals within a two-minute span. Although Valley Center narrowed its deficit to 4-2, Avery Campa then scored twice and when the buzzer sounded to end the first period the score was 8-2. "We had a lot of energy. I thought we played really strong. They were having a hard time with our counterattacks," Williams said. Ramona had leads of 10-2 at halftime and 13-3 after three quarters before finalizing the score at 14-6. "You always want to come out of Adams Park with a win," Williams said. Ramona's previous league win Jan. 12 was against San Pasqual, whose 11-3 home loss Jan. 19 against Fallbrook gave the Warriors a 2-0 league record, which shares the lead in the league standings with Ramona. "If they keep on this pace they may have a good opportunity to win league," Williams said of his players. The Bulldogs' next league match will be at home Thursday against Classical Academy. East County Invitational play initially pitted Ramona against El Capitan at the West Hills High School pool on Jan. 20, but the day's storms caused the Grossmont Union High School District to cancel the
ESL classes start Monday Classes offering three levels of English as a Second Language will start Jan. 30, and continue on Mondays and Wednesdays until the end of May at
Ramona High School. The free classes are for adult and high school residents and are open entry/open exit. No sign-up is required.
Friday aquatics activity and Ramona had three games Jan. 21 at the El Capitan pool. "The girls were ready to play. They wanted to match up with El Cap," Williams said. The score was 1-1 after one quarter and 3-1 at halftime. "It was a good defensive battle," Williams said. Two Ramona goals in the first two minutes of the third quarter gave the Bulldogs a 5-1 cushion, and Ramona increased its advantage to 6-1 before the Vaqueros changed their section of the scoreboard. The 7-3 final score includes an El Capitan goal in the final ten seconds of the game. "I thought our girls did a really good job," Williams said. The win placed Ramona into the semifinals. Clairemont scored once in the first period, which would be the first half's only goal. The Chieftains scored in the third quarter for a 2-0 lead before a Schwegler goal later in the quarter and a Kelsey Sherman score in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter tied the game at 2-2. The Chieftains responded with what would be the final goal in the 3-2 game. In the final minute Sherman's shot hit the cage and hit the Clairemont goalkeeper's head before landing outside the goal area. "She probably missed that shot by less than an inch," Williams said. The third-place game was against Bonita Vista. "That was a good game," Williams said. The Barons had a 2-1 lead after one quarter, a 4-3 advantage at halftime, and a 5-4 cushion after three periods. Ramona scored both fourth-quarter goals for a 6-5 victory with Cortez finalizing the score on a power play goal with just over a minute remaining. "Ashley put a nice shot on the water on the left side of the cage," Williams said. The victory gave Ramona third place. "The girls earned it. They put the work in," Williams said. "It was a good tournament for the girls." Schwegler was named to the all-tournament team.
Classes will be held from 6 to 8:50 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays and will teach listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills for non-native speakers of English. ESL 1 will be taught by Kim Johnson in Room 159, ESL II by Gail
Voorhes in Room 152, and ESL III by Jerrie Raymer in Room 160. Ramona High School is at 1401 Hanson Lane. For more information, call Raymer at 760-789-8586 or Voorhes at 760-271-7630.
this week
BY JOE NAIMAN The scoreless streak of Ramona High School's girls soccer team was extended to five games with a 6-0 home loss Jan. 17 against San Pasqual and a 3-0 home defeat Jan. 19 against Escondido. Despite the losses in the Bulldogs’ first two Valley League matches of the 2016-17 season, indications are that the team is improving. "I thought the girls did really, really well," Ramona coach Deena Vizcarra said regarding the match against Escondido. "They did awesome. They held them." Ramona will host Valley Center in a Valley League match on Thursday. "I'm expecting to have most of my injured players back this week," Vizcarra said. Five players were unavailable for the entire game against San Pasqual due to injury or illness, and three others left during the game. Vizcarra noted that the lack of available players not only reduces her ability to rest players but also forces players to play in what is not their normal position. "The girls are doing the very best they can," Vizcarra said. The Golden Eagles had a 5-0 halftime lead. Escondido only led by a 1-0 margin at halftime. "We held them a lot closer," Vizcarra said. The rainfall that morning had stopped by the start of the game. "We actually didn't even get rained on," Vizcarra said. "The weather held out just during our game." Illness left Ramona with one substitute Jan. 19. Some of the Bulldogs' defenders that day are normally forwards. "They had some connections. They had some good runs. So overall it was a good game," Vizcarra said. The loss to Escondido gave Ramona a 2-12 overall record with one of those wins occurring on the field and the other being awarded by forfeit.

Chamber gala recognizes award recipients, new board BY KAREN BRAINARD amona Chamber of Commerce kicked off 2017 with its Installation Dinner and Awards Gala Saturday night at Barona Resort, an event that recognizes many in the community for their volunteer efforts and passes the torch to new board members. Peter Bakarich, a community volunteer for over 20 years, captured the Citizen of the Year award. He has served as a chamber director and chaired concessions for the Ramona Rodeo, as a board member and past president of the Ramona Senior Center, and for about the past decade as chair of the senior center’s annual fundraiser, Rib Fest. Bakarich does all the cooking with help from some assistants, said award presenter Thad Clendenen. “It’s like having a rib restaurant in Ramona for one amazing day,” Clendenen said. “Everyone comes out for Pete’s signature barbecue sauce.” Also nominated for Citizen of the Year were Patrick Osio and Eric Vellone. Winning Nonprofit of the Year was
R
Ramona Community Foundation. Clendenen said the foundation “is committed to emerging needs by encouraging and increasing effective and responsible philanthropy to benefit all who live, work and play in Ramona.” The foundation builds a Ramona community endowment and each year provides funding to Ramona organizations and causes. Last year it awarded nearly $40,000 in grants to 10 Ramona recipients. Accepting the award were foundation board chair Paul Zawilenski and members Cindy Galloway, Donna Zick and Robert Krysak. The other nominees were Hearts and Hooves Therapy and the Ramona branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego. Java Hut, owned by Bob Murray, received the Business of the Year award. The coffee shop at 23658 San Vicente Road is a place to connect with friends and where ideas come together, said Clendenen. Murray “has never said no to any group or organization that needed a place to fundraise,” Clendenen said, adding that Murray is known for his great
mixers and hard work on the Ramona Country Fair. Also nominated were Ramona Family Naturals and Ramona Town Radio. The Lifetime Achievement award went to Ken Dower. The Navy and Marine Corps veteran has served in the Rotary Club for 20 years, has been president of Ramona Rotary and chief assistant governor for the Rotary District of San Diego, and is a past president of the Ramona Senior Center board, a past director for Friends of the Library, and has volunteered at Pomerado Hospital and for Ramona Veterans of Foreign Wars. “I’m surprised, really surprised…and also very humbled,” said Dower when accepting the award. Pointing out the evening’s common theme of volunteerism, Dower said, “Ramona thrives on volunteers.” County Supervisor Dianne Jacob administered the oath office for the 2017 chamber board: president Sally Westbrook, vice president Paul Zawilenski, treasurer Amber Ramirez, secretary Cindy Galloway, immediate past president Bob Krysak, and
directors Stacy Bart, Kathleen Cole, Karen Domnitz, Carol Fowler, Bob Murray, Patrick Osio, Connie Phillips, Heidi Sam, Eric Vellone, and Dan Vengler. Jacob recognized highlights of Krysak’s past two years as chamber president which included the creation of a backcountry coalition, an Experience Ramona smartphone app, and Ramona events calendar. Continuing with those highlights, Westbrook said in her president’s remarks: “The chamber over the past two years has made great strides.” Westbrook said there is a lot of talk about Ramona being a destination. “In my heart of hearts we’re already a destination,” she said. Westbrook said the board will continue to work on new programs and events in the community. The chamber also recognized its 2016 committee chairs and awarded Karen Domnitz Ambassador of the Year. Welcome and closing remarks were conducted by Ramona Unified School District Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mort-

lender may hold more than one mort gage 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 800.280.2832 or visit this Internet Web site: www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case A549465. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney. Date: 01/12/2017 T.D.

Driver, 41, dies in single-vehicle rollover Alcohol may have been a factor in a single-vehicle rollover crash in Ramona that killed the driver last Thursday evening, the California Highway Patrol said. The county Medical Examiner’s Office identified the driver as 41-year-old Darren Craig Gainor of Ramona. Gainor overcorrected after his 2006 Ford
F-150 began drifting off westbound Highland Valley Road near Voorhes Lane and lost control of the pickup, which then overturned shortly after 7 p.m. Jan. 19, CHP Officer Kevin Pearlstein said. The driver, the sole occupant of the vehicle, was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the truck, and died at the scene, officials reported.

WASC COMMITTEE FOCUSES ON RAMONA HIGH A seven-member Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) committee spent four days in Ramona this week validating Ramona High School’s self-study coordinated by teachers Robin Brainard and Edie Chapman.
