BY KAREN BRAINARD At their Feb. 9 meeting, Ramona Municipal Water District directors elected a new officer slate and heard plans for an updated water rate study that may lead to no water rate increase this year. Director Thomas Ace, a retired fire chief who was appointed to the Division 3 seat in April 2015 after it was vacated by Arnie Cares, was
elected president. He was nominated by Director George Foote, who said, “We have some new blood on the board...and some of this new blood is very talented.” Foote said he was impressed with Ace’s reports on fire department services. Darrell Beck, 2015 board president, was elected vice president, nominated by Director
Jim Hickle, who noted that Beck worked well with Ace on the fire ad hoc committee. The board voted to maintain Hickle as Thomas Ace treasurer and elected Director Joe Zenovic as secretary. The election had been postponed from the January meeting when only four of the five board members were present.

During the half-hour meeting, staff presented a proposal to update the Water Facilities Plan and Water Rate Study that was done in 2011 by Raftelis Financial Consultants. David Barnum, the district’s general manager, said if they begin the process this month the updated water rate study should be completed around June 2017.

Players make the rounds, high-fiving each other during opening day ceremonies.
Girls softball season kicks off BY JESSICA KING atter up. The 2016 season of the Ramona Girls Softball league is underway, with approximately 150 players lacing up their cleats. Opening day ceremonies were held on the fields off Fifth Street and Aqua Lane on Saturday. Festivities included a player-sung national anthem, a jubilant parade of teams and a first pitch thrown by San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob. Players, ages 4 to 14, also got a pep talk from one of their own. “Play hard, work hard. This is where it all starts,” said Kristina Wright, a former league player who went on to play for Notre Dame University. Wright has returned home as the new varsity softball coach for Ramona High. The Ramona Girls Softball league consists of a dozen teams broken down by ages, including three coed T-ball teams open to 4- to 6-year-olds. Adam Llamas, vice

president of the league’s board, said players practice twice a week for games that are held every Saturday and at least once during the week. Through mid-April, teams play against other young ballers from such areas as Lakeside, Rancho San Diego, Alpine and Valley Mesa. After the three-month recreation season ends, top players will be chosen for all-star teams to compete all over Southern California, said board president Jeff Moody. “The girls work really hard to play so they’re good and they can go out and represent Ramona in the best way that they can,” said Llamas. Parents also work hard as volunteer coaches and board members, organizing such events as the annual Valley of the Sun tournament, which is already sold out this year with 31 teams from six leagues scheduled to attend. Major sponsors of the league include Ferrellgas and Toyota of Poway.
For the 21st year, Lenten fish fries are taking place in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church Social Center. Community members of all faiths pack the center at Sixth and E streets for the all-you-can-eat dinners served from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Fridays during Lent. Those not arriving early traditionally find themselves standing in a line that often reaches the street. Touted as “the best fish fries in town,” the meals feature beer-battered fried or baked Pacific cod, french fries or mashed potatoes, dinner roll and condiments. Adult dinners are $12 and children’s for ages 12 and younger are $6. Families of two adults and two or more children are $30. Sides of taco fillings, clam chowder and ice cream may be ordered for an additional charge. Take-out meals may be ordered. Opportunity drawing tickets also are available. The Knights of Columbus, with assistance from teens in the church’s youth group, sponsor the dinners. Proceeds from the dinners benefit nonprofit organizations such as Ramona Food and Clothes Closet, Ramona Pregnancy Care Clinic, Boy Scouts, IHM Feed the Hungry, IHM youth activities, Michael’s House, Holy Innocents Children’s Hospital Uganda, YANA (You Are Not Alone) Program, Global Wheelchair Mission and Immaculate Heart of Mary Church.

Plaintiffs appeal ruling in water district suit
DEBORAH LEWALLEN
JULY 4 MURAL DEDICATION
Gerow Pitchford, center, owner of the Turkey Inn at 716 Main St., stands in front of the mural on the east wall of his business during the dedication of the mural on Saturday morning. The mural depicts the July 4 celebration on Ramona’s Main Street in 1914. With Pitchford are Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project Board members Robert Krysak, Judy Nachazel and Elaine Lyttleton. At right is muralist Anna Vieth Parker, the artist commissioned to do the reproduction.
BY KAREN BRAINARD Attorneys representing the class action lawsuit against the Ramona Municipal Water District are appealing the judge’s ruling last November that favored the district. “We feel confident that appeal will be successful,” said Allison Goddard with Patterson Law Group, one of the attorneys representing plaintiffs Eugene Plantier and Orrin Day. The water board held a closed session following its Feb. 9 meeting. The agenda stated it was with legal counsel regarding the litigation. The lawsuit, filed in January 2014, alleged that the water district’s method for charging sewer fees based on a parcel’s assigned equivalent dwelling units violates Proposition 218 because the charges can exceed the proportional cost of the services. That claim was never presented in court because the water district requested the trial be split into two phases, with the first phase to consider whether the plaintiffs
had exhausted their administrative remedies by first protesting fees at Proposition 218 public hearings on sewer and water rates. After hearing testimony in phase 1, the court found on Nov. 3, 2015, that the plaintiffs failed to submit such protests and ruled in the district’s favor, preventing the trial from proceeding to phase 2. The Notice of Appeal was filed with San Diego Superior Court Jan. 27. Goddard said an appeal can take 12 to 18 months. A March 2 hearing is scheduled for the court to decide whether the water district is entitled to reimbursement by the plaintiffs of approximately $85,000 for trial and expert witness costs. Goddard said they do not believe the district is entitled to the reimbursement. The members of the class action lawsuit included Ramona water district customers who had paid a sewer service charge on or after Nov. 22, 2012, were customers of the district before April 13, 2015, and who did not opt out of the class before Nov. 2, 2015.

Bulldog Balloon deliveries
Ramona High School witnessed a flurry of deliveries last Thursday as members of the Bulldog Balloon Company at the school presented students with colorful heart balloons ordered for them for Valentine’s Day. Because school would not be in session on Valentine’s Day on Sunday, the special deliveries came early. “Love and happiness delivered by Bulldog Balloon Company staff at RHS two heartbeats before Valentine’s Day,” said teacher Gloria Quinn. The Bulldog Balloon Company is a vocational training program on the Ramona High campus. Bulldog Balloon students made about 100 special deliveries last Thursday, reported Quinn, who oversees the program.

COMMENTARY
Political correctness: Propaganda to silence people ‘Let’s put government back in the box it came in’
B
ill Whittle, producer of PJ Media Internet videos and presenter of “Afterburner and The Firewall,” appeared as the special guest speaker at the January 2016 Ramona Tea’d forum at Ramona Mainstage for his fourth visit in four years. Two hundred sixty (260) citizens dedicated to property rights, liberty and law under the U.S. Constitution were there to hear him speak on the topic of “Saving the Republic.” Whittle’s speech focused on “Political Correctness,” the U.S. Constitution and the potential for the collapse of the rule of law in America with respect to the outcome of the FBI investigation of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the 2016 presidential election. Speaking to political correctness, Whittle explained that for the first time since we won our independence from an autocratic British king, Americans must be fearful of what they say, of what they write and what they think. They must be careful of using the wrong word — words that may be deemed offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, Islamaphobic or homophobic. Political correctness originated under the Chinese Communist Mao Zedong and is best understood as propaganda to silence the people. Political correctness is an authoritarian ideology used by totalitarian governments to constrain its citizens, said Whittle. It’s the conscious, designed manipulation of language intended to change the way people think, speak, write, feel and act, all without the people’s awareness. PC creates a division in the people among race, class and gender. It pits bourgeoisie against proletariat; it fabricates a “victim” and “oppressor” class. PC silences free speech. PC is about refusing to deal with the underlying nature of reality. Political correctness is intended to take down the Western culture, the Christian religion, freedom and capitalism. It happened in Russia, in Germany, in Italy, in China and is now growing in America. It appears rampantly on our college campuses. It is intended to eventually destroy everything that we have ever defined as our freedom, our property rights, our civic order, our civility and our culture. Whittle went on to say: “In the beginning, government came with an instruction manual. It was called the U.S. Constitution.” However, over the years our entrenched and corrupted elected representatives, the imbedded socialists and the PC operatives have changed the meaning of words in the Constitution. They have omitted words, they have invented words, or they have ignored the law altogether — and we have remained silent. SEE POLITICS, A5

That's nearly 60 years of CalFire pilots taking enormous risks to protect our lives, homes and everything we cherish (not to mention the rest of San Diego County).

Against Lindbergh mural in Ramona
It disturbs me to hear the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project intends to put the mural of Charles Lindbergh here in Ramona. Although Lindbergh was an integral part of history for his contributions to aviation and science, he had another side to his persona that most people are not aware of. When S.

Judge sentences Julian man, 33, to six years in pedestrian’s death BY NEAL PUTNAM A Julian man who was under the influence of prescription drugs when the vehicle he was driving struck and killed a pedestrian has been sentenced to six years in state prison. Joel Joseph Silva, 33, pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while under the influence of drugs in the Nov. 29, 2015, death of Kimberly Eakin, 33, of Lakeside. She was killed at 5 p.m. near the Lindo Lake Park in Lakeside. Deputy District Attorney Steve Schott asked El Cajon Superior Court Judge Daniel Goldstein for a 10-year term while Silva’s attorney, Angela Shimizu, asked for probation. “I pray for the Eakin family daily and for them to ease their pain,” said Silva. “I cry
for Kimberly’s life all the time. If I was given the chance to forfeit my life for hers, I would do it. I will live with remorse till the day I die.” Shimizu said Silva had valid prescriptions, but “he should not have been driving as he was very tired.” Schott said Silva was taking a tranquilizer, OxyContin, and an amphetamine. “He snorts drugs through straws, yet he says he never abused them,” said Schott. “This man wasn’t going to stop until somebody stopped him.” Nancy Eakin, the victim’s mother, told Goldstein “a part of me died when she died. It’s the most horrible thing to put a parent through.” “Probation isn’t enough

because…he could do it again. I know that eventually I will forgive, but I can’t now,” said Nancy Eakin. “I believe he knew getting into a car was a mistake.” Goldstein said he couldn’t grant probation as “he’s had too many chances” already. “The defendant has a longstanding history of drug use,” said Goldstein. “He crashed three cars in 10 days.” Schott said Silva totaled his car on Nov. 19, and got another car the next day, but crashed it. He was driving a third car on Nov. 29 when Eakin was killed. “It was 100 percent preventable,” said the prosecutor. “He was a ticking time bomb.” Goldstein gave Silva credit for serving 82 days in jail and fined him $3,894.
Polling shows that most of the citizens of the United States want to keep the Guantanamo Detention Center active and reject the idea of relocating the detainees to American prisons. Consequently, Congress, reflecting the will of the people, has soundly rejected the notion of closure by withholding funding for such endeavors in the legislation contained in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 and signed by Obama Nov. 25, 2015. We won our independence years ago and are no longer required to yield to the desires of a king, real or imagined. We are, in fact, a democratic republic — a government of the people, for the people and by the people, governed by the rule of law. Tom McKelvey Ramona

upholding national security and national sovereignty, and securing the borders — all being constitutional principles. The primary objective of Ramona Tea’d is to organize and sponsor free public forums and present noteworthy speakers and timely topics to inform the public and to encourage people to participate in government in order to help “Save the Republic,” to take it back from the political alliances of the Washington elite, the lobbyists and the unelected bureaucrats entrenched within a multitude of regulatory agencies. Darrell Beck, a Ramona resident, is a vice president of Citizens for Private Property Rights and a member of the Ramona Tea’d Steering Committee.
Our federal government is out of control. It no longer stays within the limits placed on it by the Constitution. It has become outright lawless. Now, Whittle said: “Let’s put government back in the box it came in.” Whittle spoke directly to the foundation of our republic and to the principal objectives of the tea party movement. He spoke to the Christian foundation of our Constitution. Those goals consist of restoring a constitutional government by demanding that our elected representatives obey the law just as its citizens are required to do.

Eagle Scout projects support Dawg Patch, Earth Tub
Twin brothers set sights on military careers
BY JESSICA KING When it came time for twin brothers Douglas and Jonathan Crawford to complete Eagle Scout service projects, each had to look no farther than the Ramona High campus. Douglas built a dual sink basin in the Dawg Patch Garden. The garden is maintained by teacher Gloria Quinn’s functional skills class. Jonathan also chose a project that helped special needs students when he built a canopy over an on-campus composting unit. The unit, called the Earth Tub, is maintained daily by Quinn’s students, rain or shine. According to Quinn, both projects are a welcome addition. “It’s just a great feeling to know you’re helping,” said Douglas. The Crawfords, who are enrolled in the school’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, said they were inspired by their NJROTC instructor, retired Navy Chief Bob Richardson. They said they went to Richardson to ask for ideas, S T A T E

The 18-year-old seniors, who have been in Scouting nearly their entire lives, each spent about two months planning and executing their respective projects in hopes of earning Eagle Scout status — the highest rank a Boy Scout can achieve. “The planning is key to finishing without any hitches,” said Douglas. As part of the planning for T H E

their projects, both teens had to secure permission from school officials and raise the funds necessary for materials. Monetary donations came from the Ramona post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. With graduation right around the corner, Douglas is waiting to learn whether he will be accepted into the Air Force Academy. He said he hopes to become a pilot. Jonathan, who is still weighing his college options, said his hope is to get an education so he can be an officer in the Army.

Historic house creates cozy ambiance for salon, spa BY KAREN BRAINARD It doesn’t take long for clients to feel right at home at Bellamia Salon, Spa & Boutique. All they have to do is walk through the front door and be enveloped by the warmth and coziness of the restored 1910 house that is the setting for the business at 745 Main St. The harmonious and talented staff also contributes to the overall ambiance and to the success of the business, said Bellamia owner Linda Hall. “Clients say ‘I feel at ease when I walk in the door,’” said Linda, who enjoys learning about the history of the former Miles family home. Last year a surprise guest walked through the door — Thomas Miles Mitchell, grandson of the home’s original owner, Henry Miles. “It was totally random,” said Linda’s daughter, Katelyn Hall, who works with her mother. The Halls said he was visiting San Diego and decided to take a trip up the hill to see the family home. Linda said he was surprised to see
an early-1900s framed photo of family members gathered in front of the house that hangs above the fireplace in the salon’s front room. Linda said she wanted that picture to display when she took over over the business in 2011 from Leanna Necochea. It was Necochea’s parents, Gina and Jerry Taylor, who bought the house and restored it to its original state, said Linda, pointing out the woodwork, doorknobs and windows. “They did an excellent job,” she said. During Mitchell’s visit, Linda and her daughter learned about the various rooms in the house, the additions, and that the basement, unusual for this area, was used to store food. He also provided them with a write-up about the family history and photos spanning nearly a century. Today the house stands as an oasis among commercial buildings, beckoning visitors to walk under the arbor and down the long sidewalk that is flanked by a green lawn, shaded by a large pepper

Much is always said about a business’s location contributing to its success, and Linda agrees that has been a factor in her case. “We have people come in just to
see the house,” said Katelyn. In the five years that Linda has owned Bellamia, staff has nearly tripled, growing from six to 16 members. Services include hair care, massages, facials, waxing and

make-up applications. Linda added a boutique, set up in the home’s former dining room, that offers such accessories as jewelry, handbags, shawls and kimonos. Linda said she believes the boutique has worked out well because she and Katelyn, who is 22 and a Ramona High graduate, work together to pick out items that appeal to different age groups. “We both go up to L.A. and pick out things,” said Linda. “It’s a nice asset for clients.” As her staff has grown, Linda said some of the girls share stations, which allows them a flexible work schedule and a reduction in rent. Everyone gets along really well and has a passion for the work, and clients see that, she said. In addition to location and her staff, Hall also gave credit to the Taylors for never raising her rent and wanting to see her to succeed, to Unicorn Books and Gifts owner Stacy Bart for encouraging growth and support of Main Street businesses, and to residents for their patronage.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Artistic career choice makes people’s ‘eyes smile’ Editor’s Note: This is one in the Sentinel’s “Where Are They Now?” series about Ramona graduates — where they are and what they are doing.
BY KAREN BRAINARD In his line of work, Dane Wylie likes to say, “I make people’s eyes smile,” although he admits his eyes teared when the credits rolled for “Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens.” There on the big screen was his name, listed as one of the artists who worked on the movie. “It was a very special moment,” said the 2007 Ramona High graduate. It was only the second time Wylie had been listed in film credits. The first time was for “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” but his last name was spelled incorrectly. He has been listed in the credits for several IMAX documentaries. Wylie is a visual effects/depth artist, which he said basically means that he turns 2D films into 3D films. Most movies today are not shot in 3D but are converted by artists, he explained. “Even when a movie is shot in 3D, there will still be certain shots that are impossible to capture, and those shots will be sent to another
company to be converted,” he said. Wylie, son of Edward and Carole Wylie of Ramona, finds his work rewarding. “I love going to the theater and seeing people get so excited to see a movie that I touched,” he said. “I have the privilege of creating a whole new visual way of seeing a movie. 3D truly immerses you into the movie in a way that a 2D film never can and I absolutely love having a hand in that.” The 26-year-old works for Stereo D in Toronto, Canada, where his job title is Depth Second. The company has six depth teams with roughly 15 artists per team. “There is a Depth Lead who runs the team and keeps everything going smoothly, and then there is me, the ‘Second,’ he said, explaining that he is in a training period to become a lead for the studio. During his two years at Stereo D, Wylie has worked on 20 films, but usually only lead artists are listed in the credits. The Star Wars movie has been his favorite project so far, even though it consumed an exorbitant amount of time for the 3D conversion. Last November, Wylie said he only had three days off the entire month and worked 100 hours one week.
when he worked on 3D conversion for the film, “The Green Lantern.” The internship led to a job. When he joined Stereo 3D in January 2014, it was located in Burbank, but the company moved to Toronto and invited the artists to relocate. Wylie and his wife, Kaitlan (Nowakowski), also a 2007 Ramona High graduate, made the move and found they love living in the city and being able to walk and explore. Kaitlan, who said she is happy to be “part of this 3D adventure with Dane,” is working toward her bachelor’s degree in art history through online courses with Arizona State University. Heading into her senior year, Kaitlan said she could see herself going into conservation, being part of a team that preserves priceless artifacts, or pursuing writing. According to Wylie, Stereo D is in contract to work with Disney on the next two Star Wars films. To see a list of films he has worked on, visit imdb.com and type his name in the search box. ■ Readers with the name of a Ramona graduate for the “Where Are They Now?” series may email editor@ramonasentinel.com or call 760-789-1350.
COURTESY OF DANE WYLIE
Dane and Kaitlan (Nowakowski) Wylie, both 2007 Ramona High graduates, enjoy an autumn day outside the city of Toronto, Canada, where they live. Dane said it was their first true experience of fall colors. “At this moment I can’t see anything ever quite matching up excitement-wise to this movie,” he said. “It was just surreal, there were many times when I would just lean back in my chair and smile. On my monitor would be Chewbacca and Han Solo’s first appearance on screen entering the Millennium Falcon, saying ‘Chewie, we’re home.’ That was by far my favorite shot that I did in the entire movie, and people cheered in the theater during that shot.” Because of his experience, Wylie
said he will be asked to work on the hardest shots and have them done “in impossible amounts of time,” but he loves the challenge. At Ramona High Wylie was inspired and mentored by Michael Hamilton, who taught an audio/visual class, and a computer programming class with coding and video game design. Wylie earned his bachelor’s degree from Cal Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, majoring in multimedia, and said he became hooked on 3D during an internship

NJROTC excels in marksmanship, cybernetics and drill Teams qualify for regional championships BY MONTANA PETTIT The 2015-16 school year keeps bringing success to the cadets of Ramona High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps. Of note, our Varsity Marksmanship team, coached by Ray Silva and captained by Cadet Nicole Lewis, has had many highlights this year. Not only did the “A” team place second at Mar Vista High School’s Marksmanship Tournament, but our “B” team placed as well. A few weeks later, the “A” team attended the NJROTC Area 11 championships and placed third. Both teams made the cut for JROTC Regionals in Provo, Utah. NJROTC’s Cyber Patriot team has also done outstanding this year. All of the evening practices have paid off, because the team is now one of the top five teams in the nation. They also recently competed in the California State championships and are awaiting the results. Our five drill teams are carrying on our tradition of excellence, too. Commanded by Cadet Kiana Carlstrom, the Ramona High Bulldog company just finished seventh out of 15 schools at Ramona’s “Up the Hill Drill” meet, qualifying them for the Area 11 championships on Feb. 27. All of the teams are hard at work practicing and perfecting each of their routines. It is never too early to look to the future,

A select group of cadets were chosen to go and teach the eighth-graders how to conduct hands-only CPR and what to do when someone stops breathing.

Bulldog wrestlers win league championship BY JOE NAIMAN For the second consecutive year, Ramona High School’s wrestling team won the Valley League championship. To earn the championship title, the Bulldogs beat Valley Center on Jan. 28 and Fallbrook on Feb. 4, ending league competition with a 4-0 record. The team took third in the CIF Division III tournament at Mira Mesa High School on Feb. 13. "We're heading into the most critical part of the year, and we've got to get the job done," coach Matt Holt said. Bulldog wrestling has San Diego Section individual and team champions. The tournaments will take place Feb. 20. Ramona will compete in the Division III tournament at Del Norte, and the top six grapplers in each weight class will advance to the masters tournament at Christian High School on Feb. 27. The top three finishers in each weight class at the masters tournament qualify for the state tournament March 4-5 in Bakersfield. Ramona's final regular-season tournament was the South Bay Invitational at Otay Ranch High School on Jan. 30. As a team Ramona placed second to Poway. "It would have been nice to win, but we're not going to be beating Poway any time soon," Holt said. Two Ramona matmen won individual weight class championships at the South Bay Invitational: Jeff Ramsthaler in the 106-pound bracket and Nathan Kiddoo in the 113-pound

Head coach Matt Holt, wearing tie at left, and assistant coaches Alex Gomez and Tyler McKay stand with team for a championship photo. division. Ramona had two 106-pound champions that day. Kiddoo's sister, freshman Savannah Kiddoo, won in the Lady Matador girls tournament at Mount Miguel High School. "She's setting herself up to be a multiple-time state placer," Holt said. The 50-30 victory over Valley Center clinched the league championship for the Bulldogs. "It was just cool to finally wrap it up and seal a league championship in my first year," Holt said. The match saw competition in 11 of the 14 weight classes. Valley Center did not pit any
wrestlers against Aaron Johnson in the 138-pound division or Gage Bailey in the 145-pound class, and Ramona forfeited the heavyweight division. Ramona won seven of the contested matches. Ramsthaler and 152-pounder Brandon Setterberg pinned their opponents during the first two-minute period, Aaron Nunes won the 171-pound bout with a pin in the second period, third-period pins gave victories to 132-pounder Jacob Rodriguez and 220-pounder Cisco Carter, a 19-2 advantage gave Nathan Kiddoo the 113-pound victory by technical fall, and Jordan Castro prevailed by a 7-2 decision in the
120-pound class. Ramona won 11 weight classes in the 60-9 victory against Fallbrook. "We beat them pretty bad," Holt said. Ramsthaler won by forfeit. Castro, Kiddoo, 126-pounder Kevin Gonzales and 195-pound grappler Jackson Montgomery had first-period wins by fall. Carter and 182-pound matman Josh Diaz prevailed with second-period pins. Third-period pins were obtained by Montgomery Cowlbeck in the 160-pound class and Baron Napier in the heavyweight division. A 16-0 advantage gave Rodriguez the win by technical fall. Setterberg took a 17-12 decision over Andres Palmerin, the brother of former San Diego Sockers and Ontario Fury player Mikel Palmerin. The Bulldogs defeated Montgomery in the first round of the championship tournament but lost to La Costa Canyon in the semifinals. "We lost to La Costa Canyon pretty badly," Holt said. "Our guys got pinned because of technical deficiency." Ramona's team had not been acquainted with the Mavericks' technique. "They were strong in one position," Holt said. "We didn't really have an answer for them." The Bulldogs then defeated West Hills in the third-place match. "We'll come back and we'll be much stronger the next time," Holt said. Ramsthaler had one forfeit win and two mat victories in the team tournament to remain undefeated for the 2015-16 season.

Bulldogs clinch boys Water polo seeded eighth basketball league title in CIF Division I playoffs
BY JOE NAIMAN A 76-66 boys basketball win Feb. 12 at Valley Center gave Ramona an 8-0 league record as well as a 22-4 overall mark. That day second-place Orange Glen lost to Oceanside in double overtime to give Orange Glen a 5-3 league record and guarantee Ramona the 2015-16 league championship. "It's a great joy to everyone involved," said coach Zack Cole. "It's been 15 years since they've won a Valley League title." Friday's home game against Orange Glen to conclude the regular season will be preceded by Senior Night ceremonies, and the festivities also will include Boys and Girls Club Night. Saturday's playoff selection and seeding meeting will determine the Bulldogs' subsequent contests. Currently Ramona is seeded first among Division III teams, which would guarantee the Bulldogs home playoff games through the semifinals as long as Ramona is victorious in the earlier rounds. "This is actually turning into a historic season for us," Cole said. The game against Oceanside was the second loss in double overtime for Orange Glen this season. The first was the Patriots' home loss to Ramona on Feb. 3. The two teams entered that game with 4-0 league records. "They're really good," Cole said of the Patriots. Orange Glen was the 2014-15 Valley League champion, and Ramona was fifth in the
six-team final standings. The Patriots had a 36-25 halftime lead and led Ramona by 14 points late in the third quarter on Feb. 3. "We were able to keep our composure," Cole said. "We just chipped away. We just stayed with it." Ramona narrowed the deficit to 50-44 by the end of the third period and sent the game into overtime with a 23-17 fourth-quarter advantage. Each team scored 9 points in the first overtime. Ramona had a 3-point lead before a 3-point shot with 12 seconds left in the period tied the game. "We had a chance to win it," Cole said. "One of their best players hit the big shot." A 7-4 advantage in the second overtime gave Ramona the 83-80 victory. "We just pulled it out," Cole said. "To beat a team like Orange Glen for us was a statement game. Our ability to pull that out at their place, that really lifted our boys' spirits." Ramona had not defeated Orange Glen since a February 2013 home match and had not won at Orange Glen since January 2010. Ramona's leading scorer was Marco Cobian, who had 31 points and also had 14 rebounds. "He was unbelievable that night," Cole said. "They were keying in on him and he dominated." Logan Knudson also had a double-double for SEE HOOPS, A16
BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's girls water polo team concluded the regular season with a winning record and second place in Valley League standings. A Feb. 12 home loss to Fallbrook gave the Warriors the league championship and Ramona second place with a 4-1 league record while also snapping a six-game Ramona winning streak and giving the Bulldogs a 14-13 overall record for the regular season. The Feb. 13 CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting assigned Ramona the eighth seed in the Division I playoffs, so if the Bulldogs defeated Patrick Henry this week they will travel to La Jolla High School's Coggan Pool for Saturday's quarterfinal against Vista. Vista hosted Ramona in a Feb. 3 non-league game at The Wave and prevailed by a 15-6 score. Midway through the first quarter the score was 3-3. "We actually started off pretty strong," said coach Donnie Williams. "Unfortunately we couldn't stop what they were doing." The first period concluded with a 6-3 Vista lead, and the Panthers had advantages of 9-4 at halftime and 14-5 after three
quarters. In the San Diego Open tournament Feb. 4-6, Ramona's first game was a 10-3 loss to Mar Vista. "Mar Vista just shut us down hard," Williams said. "We had a really good tournament after that." Ramona's first Feb. 5 game was an 8-7 victory against Steele Canyon. The Bulldogs had leads of 2-1 after the first period, 5-3 at halftime, 7-4 during the third period, and 7-6 entering the fourth quarter. The Cougars tied the score at 7-7 early in the fourth period. "We came back and had a big goal late," Williams said. "That was a good comeback." That 8-7 victory against another Division I team had playoff seeding implications. Williams noted that he placed an emphasis on preventing counterattack goals. "Defensively we were trying to be smarter," he said. Kallan Campa and Ciera Webb-Martin split goalkeeper time for Ramona. Campa made seven saves and Webb-Martin came up with four saves. In Ramona's second Feb. 5 game, the Bulldogs defeated Eastlake, 12-5. SEE POLO, A16

Ramona — Wanted: a good woman. Prefer bootstrap model with a touch of 1965 mar Vista High School Sweetheart Queen. Classic beauty, but no princess. needs to have a pioneer spirit and sense of adventure. Endurance a must. applicant will need to be selfless and strong willed, ideally armed with good business sense and fiduciary judgment. Great opportunities await respondent. Expect to move up the hill and homestead across from the landfill while running a business, working a second job, and putting three kids through college. Free tuition available for a nontraditional coed concurrent with employment as long as a 4.0 GPa is maintained. Time management is also key. most “free” moments will need to be set aside for auto racing, car shows, sailing, all day hikes, all day kayaking trips, and multiday bike tours.

Ramona with 15 points and 14 rebounds. "He was an absolute monster on the glass," Cole said. "He was on display that night." The Bulldogs traveled to Mission Vista on Feb. 5, scoring 28 points during the first quarter to the Timberwolves’ 6. Mission Vista narrowed the deficit to 37-27 by halftime and the Ramona cushion after three periods was 48-37, but a 16-11 scoring advantage in the fourth quarter gave Ramona the 64-48 victory. "That one went well. We might have played the best four quarters we played all season," Cole said. Blake Seits led Ramona with 20 points against the Timberwolves. Ramona's most lopsided league loss last season was a 63-40 defeat at Oceanside — "probably one of our worst games last season," Cole said. The Bulldogs had a better result in their Feb. 10 game against Oceanside, winning 90-71. Seits set a Ramona High School record with nine 3-point baskets and a total of 34 points. The team's other players combined for an additional 56 points. "Our boys were just really good with ball movement, really good with finishing," Cole said. "That ball was moving that night." Ramona completed a stretch of five consecutive road games Feb. 12 with a 76-66 victory at Valley Center. Seits scored 27 points and Cobian added 25 points. Only four Valley Center players scored, while nine Ramona players had points. "That shows how unselfish our team is," Cole said. The 10-point victory included a 20-9 scoring advantage in the third period. "We've been a third-quarter team all year," Cole said. "It was close in the first half." At one point in the fourth quarter Ramona led the Jaguars by 18 points. Valley Center began fouling Ramona players, sending those players to the free throw line for two 1-point shots while allowing the Jaguars to shoot 3-point shots to narrow the margin. "We missed a few free throws," Cole said. "They're a very good 3-point shooting team." The win gave Ramona victories in all five of the consecutive road games. "That was pretty impressive," Cole said. "That's a spot within our season where games can get away from us if we're not focused."

"We just kept making shots," Williams said. Both of Ramona's Feb. 6 games were at the El Capitan pool. The first was a 13-5 triumph over Santana. "We pushed that game out early," Williams said. Mission Hills was Ramona's second Feb. 6 opponent. The two teams had played each other Jan. 9 at Palomar College, and that game was a 20-9 Mission Hills triumph, but Ramona won the 11-4 rematch. "It was a little bit of a payback for us," Williams said. Mission Hills took a total of 11 shots with Campa making four saves and Webb-Martin three. Madi Schwegler scored four goals, Ashley Kurtz and Kelsey Sherman had three goals apiece, and Alyxis Trampus provided one goal. A Feb. 9 non-league game at Mount Carmel was won by the Bulldogs in two
overtimes. If the score is still tied after the first two overtimes, sudden-victory overtime periods are played until one team scores. On Feb. 10, Ramona beat Valley Center, 8-7, also in overtime. That victory gave Ramona a 4-0 league record, which is also what Fallbrook had entering the Feb. 12 competition. The Bulldogs and Warriors also entered last year's league finale with 4-0 records before Fallbrook won that 4-3 game in the Warriors' pool. The Warriors' lead was 12-6 after the third quarter. Ramona narrowed that margin to 12-8 before one additional Fallbrook goal created a 13-8 final score. "Eight to 13 was not a terrible score against Fallbrook," Williams said. "I was very proud of the girls." Editor’s note: Due to space constraints in this issue, Joe Naiman’s complete report on the girls water polo recent games is online at www.ramonasentinel.com.

Sweetie, a 5-month-old Dutch/Dwarf rabbit, is looking for a loving home. He has spent the past few months getting pampered in a foster home where we have been able to learn so much more about him to find the perfect new family. Sweetie has truly lived up to his namesake. He adores everyone he meets, humans and dogs, and has completely fallen in love with his foster family’s senior Labrador. Sweetie is very affectionate, loves to give kisses and is litterbox trained, now all he needs is a family to call his own - will it be you? Sweetie is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s escondido Campus at 3450 east Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275 or visit www.sdhumane.org.

The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 515 EAST PILE STREET, RAMONA, CA 92065 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

FROM WATER, A1 increase. We would be basically looking at our existing rate fund.” Barnum later told the Sentinel it is the district’s hope to keep rates the same this year. After the study is completed in 2017, staff will bring potential rate adjustments back to the board, said Barnum. Three steps will be involved in the process. First, Dudek Engineering, the firm contracted by the district for engineering services, will update the water model — estimated to take three months — so staff can evaluate any water system deficiencies. After that will be a water facilities plan update, expected to take six months, to define near-term projects required to support the water system’s operation. Last will be a water rate study by a consultant, anticipated to take nine months. The estimated $20,000 for the water model update is covered in the current budget’s water fund, and costs of subsequent steps will be provided as they are better defined, said staff. No board action was required, but Hickle noted that he has had experience with such types of studies and said, “I think of it as a cost-savings measure.” In other business, the board authorized the general manager to award a construction contract for a water valve replacement project to M-Rae Engineering Inc., which was the lowest bidder at $106,470. The project calls for replacing 10 valves, installed in 1958 — five at San Vicente Road and Hanson Lane, and five at Hanson Lane and Keyes Road. About $150,000 is in the current budget for the project, said staff. Zenovic asked if staff could could perform the work. Water Operations Manager Joe Lomeli said his staff is down two employees and it would take longer, plus traffic control will be needed. Lomeli said they will notice water customers in that area and hope to have minimum water shutdown. Because the sites are near schools, Lomeli said they will try to schedule work when school is not in session.

Ramona was among the top five communities in San Diego County in single-family home sales in January, reports the San Diego Association of Realtors. A total of 30 homes were sold in Ramona’s 92065 Zip code last month. Only Fallbrook with 34 and Oceanside East with 32 showed higher single-family sales. Oceanside North and Chula Vista Eastlake each showed 29 single-family homes sold, the regional association stated. Regionally, January real estate market results were a mixed bag. The total of 1,269 single-family homes that changed hands last month was down 26 percent when compared to December. The median sales price was $532,000, 1 percent lower. For condominiums and townhomes, 639 were sold, 30 percent fewer than December. The median sales price of $355,000 was also down 1 percent. After several months of declines
last fall, December saw a spike in sales, making it difficult for the real estate market to keep up in January. "We experienced a typical seasonal ebb in January sales," said Cory Shepard, the association’s 2016 president. "Many buyers and sellers try to close transactions before the end of the year. I expect we will see a gradual rise in sales as we head toward spring.'' On an annual basis, January's sales total was down just 4 percent for houses and was unchanged for condos, compared to the same period in 2015. The median sales price for houses was 8 percent higher compared to January 2015, and for condos, 9 percent more. The most expensive listing sold in the county in January was a three-bedroom, three-bath, 1,660-square-foot home on the coast in Del Mar, built in 1986, with a sale price of $13 million, the real estate association reported.
