The $790 grant also allowed the class to purchase an extra battery pack for the drone.

"Right now we are educational/recreational only,” he said. Three of his students, all Naval Science 4 cadets, participated in the official launch Feb. 2 on a Ramona High field, following NJROTC Commanding Officer Jacob Powers’ short presentation on the Phantom 3. “They’re all inspired and interested pilots,” Davis said of Powers and NS4 cadets Alaina Sill, Ethan Parsons, and Emma Hopperton. Powers pointed out in the presentation that the 2-1/2-pound Phantom 3 is not a toy or a game but an Aviation Training System. SEE DRONE, A2

to three medical marijuana dispensaries in Ramona, the community's planning group was told at its Feb. 2 meeting. Consultant Chris Brown, who has
been working with many dispensary owners, also told Ramona planners that an initiative to overturn the ban will likely follow. “People want to come to San Diego and do this business,” said Brown. “What is going to happen or
could very well happen is that if there is a ban that actually does come into place … then you would see something very shortly, probably an initiative.” Brown explained that someone SEE BAN, A2

FROM BAN, A1
KAREN BRAINARD
NS4 cadets Emma Hopperton, Ethan Parsons, and Alaina Sills prepare the drone for take-off. FROM DRONE, A1 To fly the drone students must abide by FAA safety guidelines that include keeping the height of flight to under 400 feet, flying in daylight and at least five miles from an airport, and not flying it in national parks or directly over people. The FAA requires that a drone weighing 55 pounds or more must be registered with the agency. “We’re going to use it to simulate airplane operations, essentially,” said Davis. To fly the drone, the aviation class uses four operating areas at Ramona High that includes the vacant school district property behind the campus. In addition to the flying instruction, Davis teaches professional judgment. He praised the technology of the drone and said the school’s photography and football departments may work with his class for filming and photos. “These shots and these photos are gorgeous,” he said. Davis said he is trying to attract more seniors to take the class next year. A first year cadet who is a senior could take the class, he noted. He also wants to get the word out to eighth-graders who may consider NJROTC when they enter high school. “It’s like a carrot for other students. This is a cool elective,” he said.
would put up the money and get the signatures to put such an initiative on a ballot that could possibly designate commercial zoning be allowed for dispensaries rather than only industrial zoning as the county’s current ordinance states. Ramona has one licensed operating medical marijuana dispensary, ShowGrow, at 736 Montecito Way. The owners of two other dispensaries, 1210 Olive St. and 618 Pine St., have the vested right to open because they had made substantial investments and had approved building permits before county supervisors adopted a temporary moratorium last March. That moratorium expires March 16. To ease community concerns, the three dispensary owners worked with the planning group last year to come up with a compromise. As part of that compromise, the owner of 618 Pine St. volunteered to not open a dispensary at the site, saying he would instead focus on one he wanted to open in Lakeside. He does not, however, have the vested right to open in Lakeside, so as one planner said, if a ban goes into place his only option to recoup his investment is to open in Ramona. When supervisors, by a 3-2 vote, directed county staff on Jan. 25 to develop an ordinance banning all marijuana businesses – medical and non-medical – they said to include a
5-year amortization clause to give the medical marijuana businesses that much time to recoup their investment before shutting down. If five years is not long enough, a six-month extension could be granted. “You went from having three to two, now you’re going to have three,” Brown said about the number of dispensaries in Ramona. In five years they will be amortized out, he said, ”but nobody is going to wait five years.” Brown said they'll probably go with an initiative. “I think what I heard just now was a number of threats," resident Joe Minervini said. Planning group member Casey Lynch, who lives 1,300 feet away from the Olive Street dispensary, said voters in the city of La Mesa repealed a ban on medical marijuana businesses in last November’s election through Measure U. "Do we have two for a long time (with no ban) or three for 5-1/2 months?" planner Jim Cooper asked. Cooper said his research with experts at University of California San Diego showed that vaping cannabis is helpful for some medical issues, but added that for youth it can cause irreparable brain damage. He suggested the planning group convey its support of "Option 8" — the Planning Commission's original recommendation to supervisors to amend the medical marijuana
ordinance. That option included many points from the Ramona planners and dispensary owners such as limiting the number of dispensaries in one community to two and in one supervisorial district to four, and raising the purchasing age from 18 to 21. It also included a minor use permit requirement. Planner Donna Myers said educators have spent years involving students in Red Ribbon Week, a drug prevention program. "We're offering conflicting messages to our students," Myers said. Planner Paul Stykel made a motion to recommend the Planning Commission support Option 8 and not a ban. Cooper seconded the motion. With just 10 of the 15 members in attendance, the vote failed 7-3, as a majority 8 votes were needed to pass. Voting against were Myers, Richard Tomlinson, and Dan Summers. Absent were David Ross, Elio Noyas, Frank Lucio, Rick Terrazas, and Chris Holloway. No one therefore will be speaking on behalf of the planning group at the Planning Commission hearing. Cooper said he will be attending as a private citizen. The hearing begins at 9 a.m. in the San Diego County Operations Center, Conference Center Hearing Room, 5520 Overland Ave. in San Diego. Consideration of banning marijuana businesses is the first item on the agenda.

School district receives triple recognition State association honors three as Administrators of the Year Three Ramona Unified School District employees have been selected Administrators of the Year, Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., announced on Monday: Ramona Community Campus Principal Kathryn Gunderson, Ph.D.; Director of Food and Nutrition Services Kati Harbour; and Personnel Manager Sondra Evans. Staffieri congratulated the three for receiving the recognition for all of San Diego and Imperial counties from the Association of California School Administrators. “This is the first time in the history of Ramona Unified School District that we have been awarded three recognitions of this magnitude in the same year,” Staffieri said. “This news was revealed to us late last week and we are very excited to share in celebration with all district employees this week.” Gunderson’s extraordinary leadership at the Ramona Community Campus and her commitment to all students has resulted in a tremendous positive culture of student achievement and opportunities through the district’s renewed partnership with Palomar College, said Staffieri. “For Kati, her leadership in Food and Nutrition Services has been instrumental in the implementation of a districtwide food recovery program which has received national recognition,” said Staffieri. “For Sondra, her commitment to accuracy and efficiency within

OPINION
www.ramonasentinel.com
OUR READERS WRITE Rebuttal to ‘Trump’s trivial pursuits’ It would appear that Mr. Quercia believes this president can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. Yes, he is going forward with repealing and replacing the debacle called the Affordable (you’ve got to be kidding) Care Act. But he is also doing many other things at the same time. Many of these other things, deemed “trivial pursuits” by Mr. Quercia, are aimed at protecting Americans here and abroad. As commander-in-chief (please refer to Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution of the United States of America) that is JOB ONE. Border walls are effectively employed around the world for the protection we’re all looking for. Most notably the Israeli security fence has, since its construction, reduced terror attacks inside Israel by 90 percent. Other countries, despite their opposition to Israel’s security wall, have built their own. Walls now exist between India and Pakistan (and a new one is coming), Saudi Arabia and Yemen ( and a new one is coming there as well), Morocco and Algeria, and Turkey and Syria. Kenya is building one along its border with Somalia. The president is also calling for a pause in refugee migration from seven countries that are known terrorist hotbeds (named by Trump’s predecessor himself, although he did little about it). These are not “trivial pursuits.” And through all of this Mr. Quercia seems to approve of sanctuary cities. The president’s withdrawal of federal funds to so-called sanctuary cities is in no way a violation of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America! California cities and others can continue to defy federal law, but they simply won’t get the federal funding they are used to — their choice. And lastly, Mr. Quercia refers to the “peaceful women’s march Jan.21” as some kind of unifying event. Have you ever heard more disgusting, crude, divisive, vile rhetoric as came from the mouths of Madonna and Ashley Judd? Give me a break! You have been blinded by tears from a thorough thumping at the polls! Tom McKelvey Ramona
Fast road from the Estates The $22 million road is almost finished. The telephone company is still working on their stuff. Everyone can now go fast into town except for the sharp S curves when leaving the Estates. The bike lanes, hiking and horse trails look very nice. It is unfortunate that most of the more than 10,000 people living in the Estates won't be able to use them. You probably can get through the S curves on a bike but I certainly wouldn't want to try to walk or ride a bicycle through them. I also like the mosquito breeding (drainage) ponds the have been installed along the road. Michael Cassidy Ramona

GUEST COMMENTARY
Evaluating cost of recycled water BY GARY HURST t the Ramona Municipal Water District (RMWD) Board meeting on Jan. 10, 2017, the board adopted a staff recommendation to amend the Recycled Water section of the Legislative Code. The amended code authorizes the general manager to develop, adopt, and implement any and all changes to the Recycled Water Rules and Regulations to implement the amended code. During his comments urging the board to adopt the amendment, General Manager David Barnum referred to a “cost study.” I recently obtained a copy of this “San Vicente Recycled Water” memo from Alex Handlers of Bartle Wells Associates to RMWD dated Sept. 11, 2015. The memo includes a section titled “Recycled Water Rates – Industry Norms.” This section includes a survey showing that 2 of 17 agencies sell recycled water for 74-79% of their potable water rate, 8 of 17 agencies sell recycled water for 80-90% of their potable water rate, and 3 of 17 agencies sell recycled water for 91-100% of their potable water rate. This section asserts that RMWD “faces a different situation in that it relies on recycled water for 100% of wastewater effluent disposal ….” Seven of the 17 agencies surveyed are located in the San Francisco Bay area where very strict standards for discharge make recycling the most cost-effective means of disposal for virtually all waste water. To increase the value of recycled water, those agencies generally require customers to use recycled water for irrigation purposes when recycled water is available (as the RMWD amended code does), and have invested in pipeline networks to distribute recycled water and create a more competitive market (unlike RMWD). Another section of the memo is titled “Costs of Producing Recycled Water.” This section purports to calculate “various operating and maintenance costs of producing recycled water ….” The costs included in the memo are a small fraction of the costs included in the current budget that is used to set sewer rates. The budget shows that the San Vicente Water Reclamation Facility costs about $2.6 million annually to collect and process waste water (not including the cost to maintain the network of waste water collection pipelines). The sole product of value is about 500 acre-feet of recycled water annually, so the cost to produce recycled water exceeds $5,000 per acre-foot. The memo asserts that the cost to produce recycled
A
water is less than $1,000 per acre-foot. These cost calculations are dramatically different because the memo considers only those costs incurred during the reverse osmosis processing of tertiary-treated effluent, not the full costs of production. Proposition 218 establishes the “cost of production” as the “ceiling” price of recycled water, so the proper definition and calculation of this cost is critical to RMWD sewer system budgeting, rates, and fees. All costs (and no more) related to a water operation must be paid by customers, so a miscalculation of the cost to produce recycled water results in an offsetting miscalculation of costs attributable to sewer customers. Most of the agencies surveyed in the “Recycled Water Rates — Industry Norms” section charge substantially higher rates for recycled water than the cost of reverse osmosis processing. No cost accounting expertise is required to conclude that these agencies do not equate the cost of reverse osmosis processing and the cost of production — that the consultant's and RMWD staff equation of these two costs is not generally accepted. At a meeting on Jan. 11, 2017, our neighbors in Escondido provided additional evidence that the premise of the memo and RMWD staff is not widely accepted, when they approved the building of a reverse osmosis facility that sells recycled water for about 85% of the price of potable water — far more than the cost of reverse osmosis processing. Having added a requirement to the RMWD Legislative Code requiring customers to use recycled water when available at a cost-effective price, the board must now turn its attention to the district's financial reporting and cost accounting systems that provide management information required to determine rates and fees, including those for recycled water and sewer service. A good start would surely be to formally reject the “Costs of Producing Recycled Water” section of the memo that is the subject of this commentary — that so clearly favors special interests at the expense of the public interest. At the same time, the board should clarify that the phrase “economically feasible” in the amended code applies to RMWD, but not to any assertions made by potential customers — so as to avoid any appearance of corruption that may stem from favoring special interests at the expense of the public interest.

Ironic
I complained that the immigration order was unconstitutional, singling out Muslims in this country as a threat. Hunter’s people argued that the order is not the problem, just rolled out improperly. Subsequent correspondence brought the information that the chief of Homeland Security had decided that the order does not apply to Muslims that are here legally, including those with green cards. Homeland Security says that the Muslims in this country are not a threat because they have been vetted properly using established techniques --- a process in use well before Trump came on the scene. So I asked Hunter’s people, what’s the point of the presidential order if the system in place is making us completely safe? No answer. There can only be one purpose, and that is to single out our fellow Muslim citizens, neighbors, friends, and colleagues as some type of threat. Divide the people and fan the flames of hate. Apparently Hunter and fellow GOP Congressmen don’t understand that the Constitution protects us all equally, regardless of our faith, or none. Not enough anyway for them to condemn Trump and force a retraction of the Presidential order. It’s time for Duncan Hunter and all GOP Congressmen to decide. Do they support Trump, or do they support the American people? Will they force a retraction or kiss Trump’s feet? Dave Patterson Ramona

Supervisors actions cruel and punitive The San Diego County Board of Supervisors have been in a tizzy for months because of the public's lawful use of marijuana. Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who represents Ramona, said last month that "Marijuana of any kind is illegal under federal law," and she does not consider medicinal use an option. If it were to be sold, it should be classified as a drug by the FDA only available by prescription at a pharmacy. Jacob and the other supervisors have the audacity to deny terminally ill patients and cancer victims suffering the agony of chemotherapy treatments any relief. The board has decreed that there should be no more dispensaries in San Diego County and a phasing out of the existing facilities. As a result, Ramona's ShowGrow dispensary will be shut down within five years. Vice Chairwoman Kristin Gaspar claims she has researched the problem of marijuana use in Colorado, and said there were significant increases in traffic

fatalities, underage use, emergency room visits and crime. The board does not see a difference in recreational use and medical use of marijuana. Colorado's medicinal marijuana law was enacted in 2000; now there are 100,000 enrollees. Colorado Department of Transportation's spokesman, Sam Cole, said the state erred to tally the negative effects of medical marijuana since its inception, only recording statistics for recreational marijuana when the new law passed two years ago. Jacob's liaison said they have proof that marijuana use is wreaking havoc in the county but he did not have the facts readily available and no one from Gaspar's office returned messages. Also, no one from the California Highway Patrol in El Cajon or the sheriff's substation in Ramona returned any phone messages over a three-day period. Chief Administrator Charles Boldwyn of ShowGrow, said they're being treated unfairly by the Planning Commission and the board. They're going to fight hard to keep their business open and were in the middle of organizing a game plan to fiercely fight the proposed shutting down of their dispensary. The board is philosophically opposed to medical marijuana use. Their actions are both cruel and punitive. The Board of Supervisor's Advisory Planning Commission will meet at 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 10, at the County Operations Center, 5520 Overland Ave., Kearney Mesa. Peter W. Quercia Ramona

Dentist to host Health Fair Saturday
KAREN BRAINARD
Dr. Malcolm Boykin and his office manager, Candi Clayton, invite the community to a free health fair at his office on Saturday, Feb. 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Free health screenings, a bounce house, food, prizes, and local vendors will all be part of the Ramona Health Fair on Saturday, Feb. 11. “I think it’s going to be a great event,” said Dr. Malcolm Boykin, DDS, who is hosting the event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at his dental office, 2005 Main St. Many health professionals will be on site and Boykin’s office will provide free exams. San Diego Blood Bank will also be there to accept blood donations. A professional chef, the husband of dental hygienist Becky Sinderud, will provide fare, said Office Manager Candi Clayton. In addition to Boykin’s office, vendors and businesses participating include: Riviera Wellness Spa, Hardie Orthodontics, Dr. John Harper, M.D. General & Family Medicine, Turpin Chiropractic, Family 1st Financial Solutions, The Brand X Method,
Ramona Pregnancy Care Clinic, and Ramona Chamber of Commerce. Lots of information will be available to promote healthy living, said Boykin. “It’s about people being healthy,” he said. This is his first time to host such a fair and he hopes to do it bi-annually. The idea came from what he called a paradigm shift in dentistry to complete health dentistry. “It links between your mouth and total body health,” he explained. Research has found that periodontal disease or oral bacteria has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, and cancers such as lung and pancreatic. Surgeons will often send patients to dentists before treatment, said Boykin, who is incorporating the new findings in his practice. “We’re shifting into the complete health model,” he said.
Planner group elects Scherer chair, Brean vice chair

and Brean, a decade-long member, had been nominated for the top post at the planners’ January meeting, but the 14 members attending that meeting were evenly split between the two. Scherer has been serving as acting chair since last year's chair, Jim Piva, did not seek re-election in November. At last Thursday’s meeting, Jim Cooper nominated Scherer, seconded by Kristi Mansolf, while Paul Stykel nominated Brean, seconded by Donna Myers.
Mansolf noted that a nominee would need an eight-vote majority. The tally resulted in six for Scherer and four for Brean. Instead of waiting until next month, Brean offered to withdraw his nomination. Cooper then nominated Scherer, who received just enough votes in the 8-2 tally with Myers and Richard Tomlinson dissenting. Cooper's nomination of Brean for vice chair received unanimous support. Absent from the meeting were David Ross, Rick
Terrazas, Frank Lucio, Chris Holloway, and Elio Noyas. Mansolf was elected secretary in January. Subcommittee chairs were also elected: • Casey Lynch, Parks and Recreation • Jim Cooper, Transportation and Trails • Paul Stykel, Current Urban Development Area (CUDA) • Kristi Mansolf, West • Frank Lucio, East • Elio Noyas, South 1st Place Winner!

End of drought San Diego County Water Authority Board of Directors has declared an end to drought conditions in the region. The resolution calls on Gov. Jerry Brown and the State Water Resources Control Board to rescind the statewide emergency water-use regulation for areas of California that no longer face a drought. The water authority’s supply forecast improved with recent wet winter conditions, including a series of record-setting storms across California. As of Jan. 23, the official rainfall measurement station at Ramona Airport recorded 209 percent of average rainfall since the start of the water year on Oct. 1. Lindbergh Field recorded 172 percent of average rainfall during the same period.

Ramona’s Trainer BY PETER SAN NICOLAS
Feel alive, feel fit, take action
I
want you to think back when you were a child. I want you to think back to when you first were able to ride a bike without training wheels. That moment, that after attempt and attempt, and crash after crash, you were able to balance, pedal, and accelerate with wind in your face and the ground tracking under your wheels. I bet that moment stuck in your mind that you were alive. It felt almost like you were defying nature, balancing on two skinny wheels moving ahead. This was an act of locomotion, an act of fitness without effort. When we were young, fitness wasn't a chore, it was a pleasure and thing of ease. My challenge to you is to get back to feeling alive, feeling fit and to do so takes
action. We can dream all we want about being fit, being healthy and reducing our cholesterol and getting off the medications, but it will not become even a glimpse of reality without taking the first step. I believe fitness should be much like riding that bike without training wheels for the first time. It should be a bit scary at first, exhilarating at times, and even a thing of ease and relaxation as well. People sometimes ask me what the best exercise routine is. The truth is there's only one. The one YOU like, and the one YOU will STICK TO. I want to emphasize you need to find a mode of exercise that you enjoy. If it's yoga, powerlifting, hiking, paddle boarding, mall walking or paddle ball, do something that mostly feels
good and breaks a sweat. You can always upgrade your depth and width of fitness endeavors later. Fitness has many side effects that are beyond the change in physical appearance. Fitness and exercise can and will release endorphins into the blood stream. These hormones are produced in the pituitary gland and nervous system. Believe it or not these hormones will give you a euphoric effect and are closely related to morphine. These feel good hormones keep you feeling like you're defying nature just like that first bike ride without training wheels. Begin today to Feel Alive, Feel Fit, and do so by Taking Action! Peter San Nicolas, a Ramona resident, owns Ramona Fitness Center.
Officials investigate collision that killed motorcyclist Officials said they were investigating a head-on collision on a rural road west of Ramona that killed 83-year-old motorcyclist John Henry Morgan of Poway. A 36-year-old San Diego man allowed his southbound 2006 Ford Crown Victoria to drift into oncoming traffic at 16239 Highland Valley Road, where it slammed into a 2017 Yamaha motorcycle shortly before 3 p.m. last Thursday, California Highway Patrol Officer Kevin Pearlstein
said. The motorcyclist, who was wearing a helmet, was ejected and died at the scene. The Crown Victoria's driver was not injured in the crash. Pearlstein said the Crown Victoria's driver may face a vehicular manslaughter charge following the completion of the investigation. The driver's name was withheld because he has not been officially charged.

Storm damage triggers county proclamation The County of San Diego proclaimed a local emergency Friday, due to damage caused by the severe winter storms that hit the region late last month. The proclamation will cover damage experienced by the unincorporated area, cities, and special districts, helping make the region eligible for potential federal and state resources. These resources could help repair roadways and public infrastructure and cover emergency response costs. Storm damage costs are being compiled. It is not believed that the county’s storm damage will meet state or federal thresholds to provide assistance to individuals or businesses. “Our recent storms took a big toll on some of our communities and we need to do all we can to tap into whatever federal assistance may be available,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Dianne Jacob. Among the effects of the storm were two resident fatalities and multiple first responder injuries, as well as school closures, and considerable damage to roads and other public infrastructure. That damage included the collapse of part of Alvarado Street in Fallbrook, and a partial roadway failure on Luneta Lane in the Fallbrook/Bonsall area, a sinkhole in Mission Trails Regional Park that exposed gas and water links, and the need for widespread debris removal. Four cities have also proclaimed emergencies: San Diego, Chula Vista, Poway, and National City. The governor proclaimed a state of emergency for a number of counties, including San Diego. The state proclamation could allow for eventual financial aid from the state and/or federal government to help cover costs to repair roads and public infrastructure. The county continues to collect online damage surveys from homeowners, renters, and business owners. However, officials stressed that the county hasn’t met the thresholds required to qualify for the lowest level of financial assistance available to property owners, which is a

The county asks individuals with significant property damage to visit ReadySanDiego.org and complete the damage assessment survey. Ramona received 6.48 inches of rain in the late January storms. This followed a heavier than normal rainfall in December, when Ramona received 5.38 inches of rain, more than double its December 2015 total and 241 percent of normal, reported the National Weather Service. The storms toppled trees and caused mudslides, rockslides, road closures, and flooding in the area. At Ramona schools, maintenance and operations workers were diligent in responding to calls of leaks during the January rains, said Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D. “We were encouraged, having approximately 750,000 square feet of roofing in our district, problem areas were relatively minor,” she said in an email. “Several of our sites’ roofs have been replaced in the last few years and we are also encouraged that those roofs remained intact.” Barnett and James Dukes elementary schools and the district office reported leaks and were being repaired by district employees or an outside contractor, she said, adding, “Maintaining safe and secure facilities for our students and staff is of the highest priority.”

Congressman helps Rotarian celebrate 60 years of perfect attendance Ramona Rotary marks 80th anniversary this year BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON t was a special day for Ramona Rotary Club and longtime Rotarian Don Owen when Michael Harrison, deputy chief of staff for Congressman Duncan Hunter, arrived with certificates of congressional recognition and a U.S. flag that had flown over the U.S. Capitol on May 17, 2016. Harrison, who joked that as a member of the Kiwanis Club of Ramona he may have to pay a Kiwanis fine, presented one of the certificates signed by Hunter to 96-year-old Don Owen for Owen’s “60 years of perfect attendance and continuous service with the Ramona Rotary Club.” On behalf of Ramona Rotary, club president Kim Lasley accepted another certificate from Hunter that recognizes the service club’s 80th anniversary. The club, established on April 16, 1937, was the ninth Rotary organization in San Diego County, the late Rotarian John Fansher reported in the booklet he prepared for Ramona Rotary’s 50th anniversary. “Originally our bulletin was called ‘The Gobbler,’ which seemed appropriate at the time because Ramona was then generally considered to be the turkey capital of the world,” wrote Fansher, one of the club’s founding members and its first vice president. Owen, who has held about every office there is in the club, served as Ramona Rotary president in 1964-65. The late Don Brown, owner of Brown Chevrolet and Oldsmobile that was at Eighth and Main streets, invited him to join the service organization. “I was in the dairy business at the time, and I joined to see what was going on,” said Owen, who operated the Owens Dairy business for 25 years before retiring at age 52. His reason for having 60 years of perfect attendance is as straightforward as he is. “If you’re going to join something, you should stick with it,” he said. Also during the club’s luncheon meeting in Amici’s restaurant on Jan. 24, former Rotarian Greg Chick said that every time he drives by 16th and H streets, he thinks of Owen, who lives at the end of 16th Street. “If I had a nickel for every time I crossed 16th Street,” Chick commented, holding up an Owens Dairy milk bottle nearly full of nickels, pennies, quarters, and dimes. Every time he has passed 16th and H for the past year, Chick,

Woodward Museum for $70. After dumping all the change into a box that he gave to Owen, he left with
the milk bottle, saying he would continue to put money in the bottle every time he drives by the intersection. Owen can do whatever he wants with the money, said Chick, suggesting it would be a good math project for an
elementary school class. Owen said he will roll the coins in coin wrappers and donate it to Ramona Rotary. “It will take me awhile,” he admitted. Before the meeting ended, Lasley presented Owen with a Ramona Rotary jacket with his name and the Ramona International emblem engraved on front. Owen will celebrate his 97th birthday on March 20. In other surprises, Rotary District Governor Marilyn Sanderson, guest speaker at the Ramona club’s Feb. 7 meeting, presented Owen with a certificate honoring his years of Rotary service, and Lasley presented him with a plaque honoring his 60 years of “service above self” made
by the engineering students in Ramona High School teacher Christine Hill’s class. Ramona Rotary Club meets four Tuesdays a month. Luncheon meetings are held on first and third Tuesdays at noon in Amici’s, 1429 Main St. An evening meeting is held on second Tuesdays at 5:30 in D’Carlos, 1347 Main St. On the fourth Tuesday of each month, the club meets with Interact Club members at Ramona High School, Room I-59, for lunch at 11:40 a.m. Interact is for ages 12 to 18. Teacher Steve Koch is adviser for the Ramona High Interact Club. For more information about Ramona Rotary membership and activities, contact Lasley at 619-316-4456.

Ramona dominates in last dual meet of season Seniors thank parents, supporters BY DAN BROWN Ramona wrestlers faced Fallbrook on Senior Night in their last league dual meet of 2017 at home. Seven seniors were announced and walked out to the front of the mat with their parents and friends and had an opportunity to thank the people who had supported them during their high school wrestling career. It was expected to be a one sided meet in favor of Ramona and the team did not disappoint. Fallbrook showed up with only seven healthy wrestlers. Savannah Kiddoo at 108 pounds, Jason Lane (115), Jordan Castro (140), Josh Diaz (184), Jacob McElwee (197), Byron Napier (222), and Travis Johnson, Ramona’s heavyweight, all won by forfeit giving Ramona a 42-0 advantage without taking the mat. Nathan Kiddoo scored a pin in his 122 match over Karina Juarez. Although it was a relatively easy match with a first period pin, Kiddoo had turned an ankle just before his
match and was limping throughout. Jeffrey Ramsthaler (128) and Kevin Gonzalez (134) also scored first period pins over Michael Nolan and Curtis Permito. Jacob Rodriguez (147) faced a physically strong opponent in Lance McNatt. The match ended early as Rodriguez scored the victory by technical fall when the score during the match reached 16-0. Ramona forfeited the 154-pound match to give Fallbrook its only points of the night. Brandon Setterberg (162) scored a pin at the end of the second period and freshman Antonio Naya (172) continued his successful run on varsity, scoring another pin in his match. The final score: Ramona 77, Fallbrook 6. According to head coach Tyson Knierim, this victory continues Ramona’s unbeaten streak in league dual meets. Ramona has not lost a dual meet in at least five seasons. After Ramona’s Feb. 2 meet, the
Jacob Rodriguez scores a victory in the Bulldogs’ home win against Fallbrook. Bulldogs traveled to Mt. Miguel High School for their last tournament before CIF. The team has been wrestling well at the right time of the season, and they went into the tournament with a lot of confidence. The Bulldogs finished second overall out of over 20 teams and had four individual champions: Ramsthaler (122), Castro (128),
Gonzalez (134), and Rodriguez (140). Nathan Kiddoo did not wrestle due to injury. Victor Perez took second at 122 lbs. Setterberg took sixth place at 152 lbs. and Diaz took third at 180 lbs. McElwee (197) and Johnson (Heavyweight) placed third, and Napier (220) took sixth. “We did really well this weekend,”
DOUG SOOLEY
said Knierim. “It’s always a good sign when you have four individual champions in your last tournament of the regular season. The boys are wrestling confident and it is starting to show in our tournament finishes.” CIF duals are next up for the Bulldog grapplers. They go in as the second seed and look to challenge for the CIF Dual Championship.

Prep Girls Water Polo
Match Thursday to determine league championship BY JOE NAIMAN The winner of the Ramona versus Fallbrook girls water polo game Feb. 9 will be the 2016-17 Valley League champion. An 8-1 home victory Feb. 2 against Escondido gave Ramona a 4-0 record in Valley League play while Fallbrook improved to 4-0 that day by defeating Valley Center. The week for Ramona also included the San Diego Open tournament in which the Bulldogs' three victories and two defeats left Ramona with a 14-10 overall season record following the Feb. 4 tournament conclusion. San Diego Open play began Jan. 30, and for Ramona that was a 6-3 loss to El Capitan in the El Capitan pool. "We didn't play strong," coach Donnie Williams said. The Vaqueros scored both first-half goals and had a 4-0 lead before the Bulldogs placed a positive number on the scoreboard. "Their shots were going in and ours weren't," Williams said. Ramona played part of a Jan. 31 game at Clairemont. "For the first time ever (we) had a game canceled because of fog," Williams said. "After the end of the first quarter I couldn't see past half pool. Finally we had to cancel the
game." The Chieftains had a 3-2 lead at the end of the first half. Because the CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting is this Saturday, the game could not be rescheduled due to a lack of mutually available remaining dates. The result does not count as a win for Clairemont or a loss for Ramona. On Feb. 2 the Bulldogs led Escondido by a 2-0 margin after one quarter, and the halftime score was 3-0. "We had a slow start," Williams said. "We still played solid defense." Ramona's lead was 7-1 after the third period. "We started opening it up a little bit more," Williams said. Maddie Schwegler had three goals against the Cougars, Bryn Jordan scored twice, and a goal apiece was placed into the net by Avery Campa, Kelsey Sherman, and Katelynn Dodd. "We spread out the scoring," Williams said. "The girls have done a good job of balancing out." Ramona goalkeeper Ciera Webb-Martin made five saves against Escondido. The West Hills High School pool was the site of both of Ramona's Feb. 3 San Diego Open contests. The first of those was a 9-2 victory over Olympian.
Ramona had a 3-0 lead after the first period and had a 6-0 lead before the Eagles scored with eight seconds remaining in the first half. The Bulldogs' margin after three quarters was 8-1. "We had a good game," Williams said. The Bulldogs' second Feb. 3 game was a 12-9 victory over La Costa Canyon in which Ramona overcame several two-goal deficits including after the first two scores of the game. "We actually came out a little bit flat," Williams said. The game was tied at halftime. "We had a good third quarter," Williams said. Ramona's two Feb. 4 games were also at West Hills. The game against Steele Canyon was tied after three quarters before the Cougars captured a 10-7 victory. "It was still a good game," Williams said. "We went back and forth." Mater Dei was Ramona's final tournament opponent. Ramona's win was by a 10-8 margin. "It seemed like every time we'd get a goal they would find a way of getting one," Williams said. Alyxis Trampus led the Ramona scoring with four goals.
Gibson wins her first cycle race of 2017 BY DAN BROWN Gwendalyn Gibson was victorious in her first cycling race of 2017 at the Four Hours of Temecula, Solo Open division. The race was a series of 9-mile loops over the same course. Each 9-mile loop had about 1,000 feet of incline and differed from the race Gibson won last year that was a six-hour event over a different course. Gibson competed in the Women’s Open Division with 17 other riders. The race determines places by which rider completes the most loops in the least amount of time. Gibson completed five 9-mile loops in 3 hours and 44 minutes, ending with 45 miles and 5,000 feet of climbing. The second place rider completed four loops in 3 hours and 22 minutes. Gibson’s margin of victory was over an hour. The Ramona High School senior said she was nervous going into the race. “This was the first race of my season and I had just recently just took time off the bike because I have been sick,” said Gibson. “I felt great during the race and I can tell I have improved from last year. It was a great way to start my season.” Andrew Finley, who also competes with the

Ramona eighth-grader pitches perfect game BY KAREN BRAINARD A 14-year-old Ramona baseball player had the game of his life when he pitched a perfect game, allowing no hits, to give his travel team a 6-0 victory in a tournament. Bryan Schreiber, an eighth-grader at Olive Peirce Middle School, plays with the freshman group of CBA Wave in San Diego. The team traveled to Phoenix, Ariz., for the Perfect Game West MLK Championship and on the last day of the
tournament, Jan. 16, he got his chance to pitch for his team against the South Texas Banditos. He went all seven innings on the mound with only 62 pitches, 40 of them strikes and a 0.00 ERA, said his mother, Katrina Schreiber, a former Ramona Pony Baseball Board member. The games are seven innings. Asked how it felt to pitch a perfect game, Bryan said in an email: “The game went so fast and I had such a great group
Laura Dorothy Fontaine November 28, 1926 - January 14, 2017
Poway — Laura Dorothy Fontaine, 90, passed away in Poway, on January 14, 2017. Born November 28, 1926, to Roy and Dorothy Stewart in oakland and was raised there along with sister, Janice. Upon graduation from oakland High in 1944, she enjoyed working in San Francisco and making happy memories vacationing in
Pinecrest. Her first husband was Ken Paulovich, a nuclear engineer and together they had 2 daughters. They enjoyed many outdoor activities and entertaining while living in walla walla and San Jose. Following their divorce, Laura married Bob Fontaine, a professional baseball scout. The new family included “his” children:
Sandy, Bobby and Ricky and “hers”: Carol and Nancy. Eventually, their “ours” daughter Lori, was added although the older kids wanted a boat instead. In 1969 the family left San Jose for San Diego when Bob became scouting director/VP for the Padres. Bob and Laura had many fun years at Jack Murphy Stadium, spring training in yuma and sneaking the kids into hotel rooms while visiting everywhere from alaska to Mexico. Laura was equally comfortable attending her daughter’s Morgan horse shows as she was with the rich and famous in the baseball world. Upon Bob’s death in 1995, Laura moved to SDCE and was a member of Ramona’s Valley Club and Episcopal Church. She found great joy just being grandma to
her grandkids: Ryan, Brock, Kyle, Brent and alise and encouraged their visits with bribes of swimming, money and mac n’ cheese! Laura spent the last 10 years at Gateway Gardens in Poway. There, she enjoyed family visits, casino trips and bingo. Staff became like her second family and all agree that room 134 will never be the same without her smiling face. Much thanks to Gateway and Elizabeth Hospice for their support and comfort during the final leg of her journey. Mom …you are already missed and will be forever loved. Love, Carol (Ron) Santos, Nancy (Rick) Jordan and Lori (alan) Geber
of guys working behind me, I almost didn’t have time to really notice until the last player at bat!” The tournament representative and the umpire gave him the game ball afterward, and congratulated him on his “wicked slider” pitch, said Katrina. “Getting a game ball at this level of competition is pretty exciting and uncommon,” Bryan said. Last September he warmed up for this feat when he played in a Perfect Game tournament and pitched 4-1/3 innings with no hits. The 6-foot, 170-pound baseball player said he practices a lot on the field and at batting cages. About twice a week he practices with CBA in Tierrasanta and at Brickyard Batting Cages in San Diego. “There’s lots of discussion about game-time situations,” he said. “CBA really works hard to get players ready for the next level. It’s been awesome being a part of this group.” Bryan also practices almost every day in his backyard with his dad, Dave Schreiber, who has coached his son every year while in recreational baseball. The eighth-grader has played with Ramona Pony Baseball for eight years and started with CBA in fall 2015 after playing with other travel teams. Katrina said they have always encouraged him to play both travel and rec as travel is more competitive and rec is relaxing and fun. “Bryan’s loved the combination of having both teams,” she said.

Montecito High SkillsUSA Club strikes gold BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON In its first SkillsUSA competition, Montecito High School construction students struck gold — and silver. Nine members of teacher Nicholas Jordan’s construction class traveled to Riverside for SkillsUSA Region 6 Carpentry Competition on Jan. 28. Seven advanced to the next level of competition. The students, members of Montecito’s SkillsUSA Club that Jordan advises, competed in TeamWorks and Individual Carpentry against students from Riverside, Orange, San Diego, Imperial, Mono, Inyo, and San Bernardino counties, returning with one gold medal, four silver medals, and two honorable mentions. Dartanian Danks earned gold in Individual Carpentry competition; Tony Rincon, Jason Simpson, Gustavo Mercado, and Austyn Wyeth received silver in TeamWorks; and Chase Henderson and Chase Miller received honorable mention in Individual Carpentry. All will advance to state competition. On the same day, five of Ramona High School teacher Laurie Ivers’ culinary arts students competed in their field in the Region 6 contest in San Bernardino. One of them, Jessica Nelson, earned a silver medal for her culinary skills and will advance to the state competition. The state contest will be April 20 to 23 at Town & Country Resort in San Diego. Spirits were high at Montecito High the Monday after the competition as the students wore their medals and the school celebrated their success with pizza. The win was a community effort, school officials said. The students’ Career Technical Education community partner, electrician Wayne Thompson, shared some of his expertise with the students before the competition, attended the event, and took photos of each event.
