Four vie for rodeo crown Pageant judges will decide on Saturday BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON t’s been a whirlwind two years for Brittney Phillips, and on Saturday evening she will watch as another young woman accepts the honor of being Ramona Rodeo queen. As 2014 and 2015 Ramona Rodeo queen, Phillips has done everything from ride with the prince of Italy to read western-themed children’s books at Mt. Woodson Elementary School. She’s among the few 22-year-olds who can say she has never missed a Ramona Rodeo. As a girl wearing pink boots, she relished the

In the farewell speech she plans to present during the 2016 Ramona Rodeo Queen Pageant on Saturday, she will share what the past two years have meant to her. “I can only hope I have made the community of Ramona and the Ramona Rodeo half as proud as I truly am to have been to represent it.” Pageant festivities will start at 6 p.m. at the Ramona Outdoor Community Center Pavilion, 421 Aqua Lane. Tickets are $12, with proceeds helping to fund Miss Ramona Rodeo’s travel and other expenses. With pageant admission comes a ticket for a barbecue dinner.

BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON In an all-call to parents of Ramona Unified students on Friday, Superintendent Robert Graeff alerted them to a court ruling that calls for the release of personal information about their children. The ruling applies to all students who are attending or have attended public school in California since Jan. 1, 2008. Unless parents or now-adult former students opt-out by April 1, information such as Social Security numbers, addresses, test scores, and health and mental health records will be released. U.S. District Court Judge Kimberly J. Mueller issued the order in response to a lawsuit two nonprofits — Morgan Hill Concerned Parent Association and Concerned Parents Association — filed against the state Department of Education.

BY NEAL PUTNAM Thomas Alfredo Charbonneau, 50, of Ramona, was sentenced Feb. 17 to 17 years in state prison after he pleaded guilty to continuous molestation of a girl over a period of time. Charbonneau, a former soccer coach in Ramona, also pleaded guilty to attempted rape of an unconscious minor and showing harmful matter, or pornography, to the victim. Deputy District Attorney Kerry Conway said he will have to serve 85 percent of the term, or a little more than 14 years until he can be paroled. El Cajon Superior Court Judge John Thompson ordered Charbonneau to register as a sex offender after he’s paroled. The victim’s mother read a letter in court, saying the molestation started when the victim was around age 10, but was not discovered until 2015. Conway read the victim’s letter in court. The victim has requested restitution for counseling and medical expenses in the amount of $6,268. Thompson will consider restitution at a March 17 hearing. The judge fined Charbonneau $10,664. He could order the fines be paid after restitution is paid. Charbonneau received credit of 233 days in jail. Sheriff’s deputies arrested Charbonneau on July 30, 2015. Twenty-five felony counts were initially filed against him, but 22 counts were dropped when he pleaded guilty to three counts. The guilty plea eliminated having the victim testify in open court at a preliminary hearing. Charbonneau had no prior record and said nothing at the sentencing.

With just four months until Superintendent Robert Graeff retires, the search is on for his replacement. Graeff in December announced his retirement plans after eight years as Ramona Unified’s lead employee and seven years as assistant superintendent of education services. He has worked nearly 40 years in education, starting as a teacher in the San Diego Unified School District in 1976. Based on conversations during their last public meeting, school trustees will meet in closed session at 5 p.m. on March 1 to screen resumes and select prospective candidates to interview. They set March 7 through 11 for reference checks and March 10 before and after their regular board meeting for
the first round of interviews. As of Tuesday morning, the district had received more than 20 requests for applications from interested candidates within California and from out of state, Graeff’s office reported. Graeff declined to say how many potential candidates work for the district, explaining that he believes that is confidential. Application requirements are on the district website at www.ramonausd.net, were emailed to all district employees and the San Diego County of Education, and have been posted in the professional newspaper EdCal, the public education job search website EdJoin, and on the district’s Facebook page. Trustees held a workshop last month to hear what characteristics the community wants in a superintendent. The district continues to accept comments from the community via its website under “Search for New Superintendent.” — Maureen Robertson

Setting the record straight about white wine grapes in San Diego County BY MICOLE MOORE s the president of the Ramona Valley

OPINION
Grenache Blanc, Assyrtiko and even Chardonnay. At Ramona Ranch we offer three white wines, all made from Ramona white-wine grapes. However, these white-wine grapes are grown in small quantities when compared to the number of red wine-grapes planted and are not readily quality white wine requires more expensive chillers, jacketed tanks and glycolic cooling systems. These purchases are often fiscally out of reach for the boutique winery, making the option of purchasing quality white wines a reasonable accommodation for wineries who would like to offer a white wine. The County Planning Commission recently agreed with this accommodation as noted in a recent Sentinel article. As our vineyards, valley and wineries mature, I anticipate seeing even more white varietals, which are perfect for sipping on a hot summer day, and encourage anyone considering putting in a vineyard to consider white wine grapes as I know a few winemakers who would be happy to purchase them. Micole Moore, a Ramona resident, is president of the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association (RVVA), a winemaker and co-owner of Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery.
OUR READERS WRITE
Lindbergh will land in Ramona
First, I want to thank the authors of the recent letters to the editor for their thoughtful words regarding the intention to place the iconic Lindbergh mural in our town. Second, the H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project is humbled by the tremendous outpouring of appreciation from those supportive of the efforts to land this regionally important piece of art in Ramona. The H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project accepts that any project has supporters and detractors. Most times, both sides have legitimate points and positions, and this project is no different. For us, the Lindbergh mural is an iconic regional piece of artwork which was a familiar sight to all coming to and leaving from San Diego for 15 years. Its restoration and display in Ramona will be publicized throughout the region and will hopefully attract curiosity seekers to and extensive publicity for Ramona. When the Airport Authority took the mural down, polls at the time revealed that 94% of people objected to its removal. It will now be back! Some people question Lindbergh’s politics and morality, and on that basis assert that he should not be memorialized. A fair point, but not in our view the determinative criteria or outweighing the tremendous positive impact Charles Lindbergh had upon aviation and our future
society in general. If personal choices were a measuring rod of admiration, many things would be different. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owned people and Jefferson engaged in procreation with one of his slaves, but we still have monuments to them celebrating their vast accomplishments. Do we deconstruct the Jefferson and Washington monuments due to their personal choices? I would say no, even though their slave ownership is obviously (or should be) highly objectionable to every reasonable person. Many of us do not subscribe to Charles Lindbergh’s political views or some of his personal choices, but there are many people with whom we do not politically agree. That fact in no way diminishes our respect for and celebration of their accomplishments. It is our frailties and humanity which make our accomplishments that much more worthy of awe. Charles Lindbergh, for all his human and political failings, is worthy of celebration for his incredible accomplishments. Bringing the Lindbergh mural to Ramona is not meant to be an affront to anyone, and we are sorry there is any negativity in anyone’s heart regarding this matter. However as in any endeavor, not everyone can be satisfied. All things considered, Lindbergh will land in Ramona. Bob Krysak Board Member Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project

WINDING DOWN BY DAVE PATTERSON
Saving on one of life’s staples
O
ne place we’ve found that we can save money is with the two main staples of life: bread and beer. I have always liked bread but that love became an obsession while living in Spain. Crusty flavorful bread that is moist inside proved too attractive, especially when spread with white farmer’s cheese and quince jelly. I could not get enough! After returning home, I tried for years to recreate that wonderful bread, and the problem was eventually solved by my wife Nancy, as is normally the case. She found a good recipe book and has condensed it down to a few simple steps, and a few simple ingredients. If you are tired of spending $4 for mediocre bread, our cost of about 25 cents per loaf should be appealing, and oh so easy. One thing to note — making this type of bread requires a Dutch oven, a pot with a lid that can go in the oven at 475 degrees. If you can’t find a Dutch oven at the thrift store or garage sale, try Amazon.com at $25 each. Also to note is that yeast is extremely expensive at the traditional grocery store, and extremely inexpensive at Costco. Just keep the unused yeast in your freezer, and it can last for years. This is Nancy’s simple recipe. Thank you, Nancy! Mix dry ingredients together in a glass bowl with a fork. Add cool water and mix with a spoon. Cover bowl with a plate and a towel and let rise 12 to 18 hours. Form into a ball in the bowl (add some flour to the

sides so it doesn’t stick), and let rise another hour, or two hours for wheat bread. The last 30 minutes of the second rising, put the Dutch oven with the lid on into the oven at 475 degrees. **Caution — the pot will be extremely hot!** Take the pot out of the oven, pour the bread dough/ball into the pot, put the lid back on, and bake for 30 minutes. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look too neat when it goes in. It always turns out fine. For extra crusty bread, leave the lid off for an additional 15 minutes of baking time.

BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Community Planning Group chair Jim Piva is tired of waiting for Park Land Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) money to be released by the county for proposed Ramona park projects. “To me, they’re taking that money from our kids,” said Piva. Piva said this is his last year on the planning group and he wants to put pressure on the county. He asked past park and recreation subcommittee chairs Richard Tomlinson, Jim Cooper and Torry Brean to work with newly-appointed chair Dan Scherer. “We got one year to get this done,” he said at the planning group’s Feb. 4 meeting. According to Piva, it’s been eight years since the group has actively sought to utilize the funds. PLDO funds come from a fee that is paid when the county issues building permits for dwellings in Ramona, and the money goes toward park projects in the community. All PLDO funds for Ramona are collected and deposited into a trust account that is overseen by county Parks and Recreation, which also charges a maintenance fee that comes out of the fund. Piva wants the money spent on park projects

rather than maintenance fees. For several years, the planning group has had a priority list of projects to utilize the funds, which totaled around $800,000 at one point. Brean estimated that the current amount is around $600,000. Two projects on the list were completed — a basketball court at Collier Park and new baseball dugouts at Ramona High School — but implementation of three projects for Wellfield Park has been dragging. Recent action, however, brings them a step closer. The county Board of Supervisors approved releasing $145,000 from the PLDO pot for design costs at its Dec. 15, 2015, meeting. The design will go toward the Ramona Soccer League soccer field expansion and the Ramona Girls Softball LED scoreboards, said Dawn Perfect, co-champion of the soccer project. The other project is the active recreational park and amphitheater. Jim Cooper, co-champion for that project, said they met with county Parks and Recreation Department staff Jan. 15 and continue to respond to staff’s inquiries about the recreational park and amphitheater proposal.

Forum: Water or Brown’s ‘train to nowhere?’ NJROTC wants motivated Forum to focus on range of concerns Debbie Bacigalupi will address a range of questions during her presentation at the Ramona Tea’d free public forum in Ramona Mainstage on Saturday, Feb. 27. “California is experiencing overwhelming crises,” states the forum announcement. “At the top of the lists are concerns for water, overregulation and private property rights.” Among questions on the announcement are: Why is it that California has the only cap-and-trade carbon scheme? Why is California building a “train to nowhere?” What does this have to do with
“sustainable development” and the recent climate change conference in Paris, Conference of Parties (COP21)? What is sustainable development and Debbie why is it so pervasive Bacigalupi in America today, even curtailing the U.S. Constitution? How did the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) get so powerful? How do all these topics overlap and what is the ultimate (United Nations) agenda for the 21st century? Bacigalupi, a sixth generation Californian and daughter of ranchers and farmers in Siskiyou County, has co-produced and/or inspired
documentaries such as “No Water, No Farmer, No Food” and “Wolves in Government Clothing,” which focuses on how aggressive environmental policy is harming rural America. The program will begin at noon. Doors open at 11 a.m. Those attending are encouraged to sign the “Water Petition,” a state initiative “putting people and food first when it comes to using water, an initiative that transfers funds from the high-speed rail and invests those funds in various water storage projects.” Seating is limited, so early arrival is recommended. Food and drinks are available on site. The theater is at 626 Main St. For more information, see www.ramonatead.com.

eighth-grade students Representatives of Ramona High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps will man a booth at the Bulldog Expo at RHS from 8 to 9:15 a.m. March 1 so eighth-grade students will have the opportunity to talk with NJROTC freshmen about the program. Retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. Brad Davis, the senior naval science teacher at RHS, and retired Navy Chief Bob Richardson, naval science instructor, will have NJROTC Room B-25 open on March 2 at 5:30 p.m. to talk with parents of incoming freshmen before Parent Information Night starts at 6 p.m. NJROTC is fundamentally a leadership and citizenship program, Davis said in a letter to parents of eighth-grade students at Olive Peirce Middle School. “We do not recruit nor facilitate entrance into the military,” he said. “Any student considering the armed forces will naturally benefit from NJROTC, but historically only about one-fourth of our graduates go on to military service through either a service academy, college ROTC or enlistment.” Ramona’s NJROTC program, in
its 21st year, has received recognition as an Area 11 Distinguished Unit with Academic Honors for the past five years. The program also has an award-winning Field Meet Team and Cyber Patriot Team and a nationally-ranked Varsity Marksmanship Team. There are no applications or prerequisites for NJROTC participation. The Naval Science 1 and 2 classes serve as physical education credit for ninth- and 10th-grade students. Cadets may participate in NJROTC and still be in athletics, band or any other extra-curricular activity, noted Davis. “Our cadets receive practical lessons in followership, leadership theory and engage in the full leadership experience,” said Davis. “We emphasize academic performance, personal responsibility, teamwork and, above all, character development in addition to the NJROTC curriculum, which is oriented towards naval science, maritime history and leadership studies.” He encouraged parents to contact him or Richardson at 760-787-4151 for more information.

Association seeks legal counsel on short-term rentals It’s been a nightmare “living next door to a mini hotel. ”
BY KAREN BRAINARD Short-term vacation rentals of homes, a divisive topic in some San Diego beach communities, have sprouted in Ramona with homeowners touting the countryside, wineries and outdoor recreation when marketing their accommodations. Online sites such as Airbnb and Vacation Rentals by Owner (VRBO), where homeowners can list the rental of their house for a stay as short as one night, have become popular for tourists looking for lodging, but not necessarily for nearby neighbors. “It’s been a nightmare living next door to a mini hotel,” Tami Rozelle said about a short-term rental in her San Diego Country Estates neighborhood.
As the City of San Diego is trying to figure out how to regulate the growing number of short-term vacation rentals that has divided neighborhoods, the Estates homeowners association board is investigating its Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and seeking legal counsel, said General Manager Mario Trejo. “It’s not an epidemic,” Trejo said of such rentals in the Estates. “It seems to be isolated.” Trejo and board secretary Sue Bender noted that the CC&Rs were written 40 years ago, when the Estates was built, and doesn’t specifically address short-term vacation rentals. “This place was developed as a residential community,” said Bender. “It wasn’t an issue 40 years ago.”
Trejo said two neighbors of a vacation rental on La Plata Court complained at the board meeting last December and he has been in touch with the owner of the vacation rental. The owner, Cheryl Williams, said she researched county regulations and had a legal team review the CC&Rs to see if renting her house on a short-term basis was within her rights. “There are no regulations in place that I’m aware of,” she said, adding that she wants to be respectful of her neighbors. “My neighbors and community are important to me.” Rozelle said she has no problem with rentals of six months or longer, but the short-term rental presents concerns of safety, with different people going in and
Girl Scout cookie sales underway Girl Scout troops are setting up shop outside various businesses throughout Ramona for their cookie sales. Proceeds fund troop activities, events, camps, volunteer training and financial aid. Some troops also choose organizations or programs that they assist with their funds.
Ramona Girl Scout Troop 8780, which meets in the Ramona Senior Center, plans to use its proceeds to benefit the senior center, as well as to help wounded veterans, said Anne Marie Wilson, co-leader of the troop. Last year the troop made a donation to the Birch Aquarium for its seadragon program.

out, and of large groups and excessive noise. Williams, who no longer lives full time in Ramona, said family circumstances led to the short-term rental option. She and her children travel to the area approximately once a month, she said. Since listing the house as a rental last October, Williams said she has been on a learning curve — she has installed security cameras, does not want large groups, and is more careful about screening renters. She said

she pays a transient occupancy tax (TOT) to the county. Rozelle and Estates officials said they have contacted county Supervisor Dianne Jacob’s office about the short-term rental issue and are looking to see what the county might do in terms of regulations. “I plan to sit down with Country Estates residents who recently contacted my office,” said Jacob in a statement to the Sentinel. “Their HOA has jurisdiction and may be the easiest avenue to address specific concerns, but I’m willing to listen and explore options at the county level.” A spokesperson for Jacob’s office said the residential vacation rentals have not been an issue on the county’s radar and they have not received other complaints.

Hitting business targets yields rewards Borchardts celebrate on all-expense-paid trip
BY KAREN BRAINARD Successfully operating a business for nearly four decades has its perks — at least for the owners of Ron’s Tire & Brake. Owners Ron Borchardt and his wife, Rosemary, recently returned from an all-expense-paid trip to Riviera Maya, south of Cancun, Mexico, courtesy of Tire Centers Inc. (TCI), a distributor affiliated with Michelin tires. “They only take the top 150 dealers in the United States,” said Ron Borchardt. To become one of those top 150, a dealer has to make his quota, which can be based on different factors. “That’s a kind of thing you strive for,” said Borchardt. “We’ve made it every year since I’ve been with TCI.” This is his 10th year with TCI. Before that Borchardt was a direct dealer, which required him to have a large inventory. The switch allowed him to cut his inventory in half, he said, as TCI has a warehouse in Oceanside. If he doesn’t have a particular tire in stock, he can call the warehouse and sometimes get it

before Valentine’s Day, which also marked the 39th anniversary of their business. The event drew about 400 people, provided accommodations at an all-inclusive resort in Playa Del Carmen, and included a Super Bowl party, optional excursions and a farewell party on the beach.
Having been on many such trips, Borchardt, 76, takes it all in stride and looks to relax. He and Rosemary passed on snorkeling and scuba diving, he said, because they don’t swim, and on trips to Chichen Itza and Tulum because they had seen the Mayan ruins 10 years ago on a business trip. “I said...I’m just staying here by the pool with my umbrella up...Hey, I just want to relax,” Borchardt said. Location of the TCI trip varies by year. Hawaii has been one of the locations, and next year the destination is Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, Mexico. Borchardt said he and his wife skipped the year it was in Bermuda because of time changes and difficulties with connections. Waiting in a New York airport at 4 a.m. for a connection didn’t sound like a vacation, he said. Although the trips are affiliated with Michelin tires, Borchardt sells other brands of tires. “Whatever it is you want,” he said. To celebrate Ron’s Tire & Brake’s 39th anniversary, Borchardt is offering a sale of 15 percent off all tires and service and plans to carry the sale over into March. Ron’s Tire & Brake is at 2560 Main St.

Girls capture basketball league title Bulldogs finish Valley League play undefeated
PHOTOS BY DOUG SOOLEY
Junior Chiara Mattern, who scores 10 points in Ramona’s 66-10 victory over Orange Glen on Friday, is the first Ramona girl to score more than 30 points in a game since London Houchin in the 2005-06 season. Mattern scored 31 points in the win over Fallbrook on Jan. 29.
BY JOE NAIMAN For the third consecutive season, Ramona High School’s girls basketball team finished Valley League play undefeated. The 10-0 league record gave the Bulldogs the 2015-16 league championship and contributed to an 18-7 overall regular-season mark. The CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting Feb. 20 gave Ramona the seventh seed in the Division I playoffs. “The girls put in a lot of hard work,” said coach Dan Marshall. The first round of Valley League competition ended Feb. 3. Ramona traveled to Orange Glen and returned home with a 68-9 win. “It was a pretty lopsided victory for us,” Marshall said. Ramona’s previous game was a 66-57 victory at Fallbrook in which junior Chiara Mattern scored 31 points to become the first Ramona girl with more than 30 points in a game since London Houchin during the 2005-06 season. Mattern was rested midway in the second quarter against Orange Glen but scored 24 points in just over one period. Elexis Espina had 9 points against the Patriots. Marshall pulled his starters at halftime during Ramona’s 65-27 victory Feb. 5 at Mission Vista. Mattern led the Bulldogs with 13 points, Julia Plantz and Emily Sojourner had 10 points apiece, and Espina placed 8 points worth of shots into the gymnasium baskets. Ramona’s closest league win of the year was a 46-39 triumph Feb. 10 at Oceanside. “That was a tough game,” Marshall said. “We played real

masters wrestling tourney Kiddoo wins 115-pound class in Division III tournament
BY JOE NAIMAN During the CIF Division III tournament on Saturday, nine Ramona High School wrestlers qualified for the all-division masters tournament this Friday and Saturday at Christian High School. Among them was sophomore Nathan Kiddoo, who won the 115-pound championship. The Bulldog wrestlers earned their spots in the masters tournament by finishing among the top six in their weight class. A 10th Bulldog grappler will travel to El Cajon as an alternate at the masters. “It’s good for us to get that many out,” said coach Matt Holt. The nine qualifiers and one alternate were among 13 Ramona wrestlers participating in the Feb. 20 meet at Del Norte High School. The tournament included 14 weight classes, but the Bulldogs did not field a 220-pound competitor. “He’s peaking at the perfect time,” Holt said of Kiddoo. “He’s dangerous from all positions, and if his opponent makes one little mistake he has the speed and power to put him away.” Kiddoo had four matches during the division tournament and won all four either by pin or by technical fall. If a wrestler is ahead by 15 points, the match is terminated and he is declared the victor by technical fall. Jeff Ramsthaler won his first three 106-pound matches by pin or technical fall. In the final, his Brawley opponent handed Ramsthaler his first defeat of the season. “I had a feeling that was going to happen just because he hasn’t had very tough competition since December,” Holt said. The second-place finish still advanced Ramsthaler to the masters tournament.
FROM BASKETBALL, A10 “She got two important baskets in the fourth quarter,” Marshall said of Griffin. On Feb. 12 Ramona scored all 14 first-quarter points in the Bulldogs’ game at Valley Center and held a 36-9 halftime lead. “We had control of the game from the get-go,” Marshall said. Mattern had 24 points against the Jaguars before Marshall went to his bench players. Leah Green and Hannah Farhat each had 9 points. Use of Ramona bench players whose mission was to maximize possession within compliance of the 30-second shot clock rather than to score aggressively allowed Valley Center to narrow the deficit although the Bulldogs still won by a 59-39 margin. Fallbrook entered the Warriors’ Feb. 17 game at Ramona with a 7-1 Valley League record while the Bulldogs were 8-0 at tipoff. “That was a big game,” Marshall said. The game ended with Ramona on the preferred end of the 53-42 final score. “It was just a tough game. They have quickness. It took a team effort to beat them,” Marshall said. “They’re a
“He’ll be coming on stronger next week,” Holt said. “It will work out.” Ramsthaler lost the championship match by 2 points, and that amount is awarded for a takedown or a near fall. “He was on top. He had to get a turn,” Holt said. “He ran out of time.” Jacob Rodriguez was third in the 132-pound bracket. “He lost a close one in the semis,” Holt said. Rodriguez’s semifinal opponent then won the championship match decisively while Rodriguez won the third-place match. Jacob Castro also took third place. He was winning his 132-pound quarterfinal match against the second seed before being pinned in the third and final period, but victories in the losers’ bracket allowed him to end the tournament as the third-place wrestler. Aaron Johnson was fourth in the 140-pound division. The fifth-place grapplers included 152-pounder Brandon Setterberg and 195-pounder Cisco Carter. The two Bulldogs who finished sixth were Jackson Montgomery in the 184-pound class and Baron Napier in the heavyweight division. Napier was seeded 14th among the 14 heavyweight wrestlers. “He had a huge tournament,” Holt said. “He ended up coming back and placing, so that was huge.” If any of the 126-pound masters qualifiers cannot compete, Kevin Gonzales will be part of the tournament due to his seventh-place finish at the division tournament that gave him alternate status. The top three finishers at the masters tournament in each weight class qualify for the state tournament March 4-5 in Bakersfield. Last year two Ramona matmen qualified for the state tournament. “I want to get at least two guys out this year,” Holt said.
well-coached team.” Fallbrook coach Dan Bachman devised a strategy that limited Mattern to 10 points. Plantz also scored 10 points. Scheib contributed 9 points, Farhat and Griffin had 8 points apiece, and Green added 5 points. Ramona had a 41-25 lead after the third quarter. The Warriors’ 17-12 scoring advantage in the final period wasn’t due to Ramona’s offensive ineffectiveness. “We were taking a lot of clock and being more careful,” Marshall said. “We burned the clock all of the fourth quarter.” The Ramona win and Fallbrook loss clinched the Valley League championship for the Bulldogs. “We knew if we played tough and didn’t take anyone for granted that we had a good chance of winning league, and the girls did it,” Marshall said. Senior Night ceremonies preceded Ramona’s Feb. 19 home game against Orange Glen. Ramona’s five seniors — Farhat, Green, Griffin, Scheib and Sojourner — all started the game. Mattern scored 10 points off the bench in the Bulldogs’ 66-10 victory.

Boys fourth in final soccer league standings BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s boys soccer team finished the 2015-16 Valley League season fourth in the final six-team standings. The Bulldogs posted a record of 3-4-3 in league play to finish behind Oceanside, Valley Center and Fallbrook and ahead of Orange Glen and Mission Vista. The Feb. 20 CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting, which gave Ramona the 11th seed in the Division III playoffs, will add games to the Bulldogs’ overall record that was 9-8-5 at the conclusion of the regular season. “Valley Center’s the only team we didn’t take a point off this year,” said coach Michael Jordan. “We got either a tie or a win off of every other team.” Oceanside won the league championship with a Valley League record of 8-0-2. The Pirates were 6-0 in league competition before Ramona traveled to Oceanside on Feb. 10, and the only goal against Oceanside during those six league games was scored by Ramona’s Eddy Saucedo in the Pirates’ 3-1 victory Jan. 22 in Ramona. The first goal of the Feb. 10 game was scored on a direct kick by Ramona’s Mario Gonzalez. In the final 90 seconds Oceanside scored the equalizer for a 1-1 tie. “A point on the road against the undefeated first-place team is nice, but it felt like a loss,” Jordan said of giving up the late goal. The Oceanside goal occurred when a Pirates defender cleared the ball and four teammates were positioned on the outside. Jordan felt that the Oceanside player who received the ball was offsides, although the referee did not make an infraction call. Oceanside only lost one game during the regular season and was ranked second in the entire San Diego Section. The game was played on Jordan’s 45th birthday. “It was a nice birthday present, a tie against Oceanside,” he said. Ramona concluded five consecutive road
games Feb. 12 at Valley Center, which prevailed in the 7-1 contest. “We just got annihilated. It was one of those nights where everything they shot on frame just went in,” Jordan said. The Feb. 17 home game against Fallbrook was Senior Night for Ramona, whose six seniors include three starters. The game was scoreless at halftime. A pass from Carson Charbonneau to Gonzalez gave Ramona a 1-0 lead, and Charbonneau converted a penalty kick to finalize the 2-0 score. “The boys won on Senior Night, which is always nice,” Jordan said. “We got rained on a little bit, but it didn’t deter us.” The footing was good enough for Ramona goalkeeper Tony Solis to make eight saves in the shutout. On Jan. 29 Ramona had a 1-0 halftime lead at Fallbrook before the Warriors scored both second-half goals for a 2-1 victory. “That was nice redemption for us,” Jordan said of defeating Fallbrook in the second round of league play. Orange Glen, which is the only Valley League team in Division I for playoff purposes, won the 2014-15 league championship. Had the Patriots’ use of an ineligible player in the Feb. 3 game against Ramona in Escondido not led to a forfeit, Orange Glen would have defeated Ramona by a 3-0 score. “They had taken it to us at their place,” Jordan said. In the Feb. 19 game, Saucedo scored in the first half to give Ramona a 1-0 lead, but the score was 1-1 at halftime and the Patriots had a 2-1 lead before Branden Chavez scored with seven minutes left to tie the game. Orange Glen took a 3-2 lead with three minutes remaining, but in the final minute Chavez scored once again and the game ended as a 3-3 tie. “It showed our fighting spirit,” Jordan said. Each team received 1 point for the tie, preserving fourth place in the standings for Ramona.

New CIF rule puts Ramona girls soccer into playoffs BY JOE NAIMAN New CIF rules keep Ramona girls soccer team in the playoffs, giving the 11th- seeded Bulldogs a Feb. 22 play-in game at Madison. “We’ve been struggling a little bit,” said coach Deena Vizcarra. The Bulldogs finished the regular season last in the six-team Valley League standings with a 1-9 league record. Ramona’s overall regular-season mark was 8-14. Ramona was eighth in the Division IV power rankings prior to the Bulldogs’ Feb. 19 game at Orange Glen. “Our note for ourselves was we either need to win or tie on Friday to hold on to the CIF spot,” Vizcarra said. The Patriots secured the top seed in the Division V playoffs with a 3-1 win at Ramona’s expense. “We did not have our best game,” Vizcarra said. Orange Glen had a 2-0 halftime lead. Mikaila McNary scored for Ramona before the Patriots had the final goal. “It’s been a long time since we lost to Orange Glen,” Vizcarra said. The Patriots had not defeated Ramona in the past 10 seasons. On Feb. 5, 2010, Ramona and Orange Glen played to a 1-1 tie on the Patriots’ field. In games earlier this month, Ramona hosted Oceanside in a game that ended as a 7-0 Pirates victory on Feb. 10. Three of the Oceanside goals were scored in the first half. “We held strong the first half,” Vizcarra said. Ramona goalkeeper Nicole Lewis made 10
saves against the Pirates. Feb. 12 was Senior Night as well as Ramona’s home game against Valley Center. Before the game the team honored seniors Jazmin Cordova, Perla Gonzalez, Chloe Knowd, Kat Lorentz, Jenni Rivera, Summer Stewart and Megan Vandervort. “It was a great Senior Night,” Vizcarra said. “We had a really good game. Our defense was super strong. Everybody seemed to be on.” Valley Center scored the game’s initial goal in the 12th minute. A 37th-minute goal by Stewart with an assist from Rivera created a 1-1 halftime score. In the 73rd minute the Jaguars scored the deciding goal in the 2-1 Valley Center victory. Lewis was in Utah for a Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps competition, so Hope Sooley was Ramona’s goalkeeper and made eight saves. Ramona’s final two league and regular-season opponents would be seeded first in their playoff divisions. Fallbrook is the top Division IV seed, and Ramona’s Feb. 17 game at Fallbrook concluded as a 6-1 Warriors victory. “We got killed,” Vizcarra said. Stewart scored Ramona’s goal at Fallbrook with Keiana Williams providing the assist. Vizcarra hopes that her players will continue with soccer or some other sport outside of the CIF soccer season. “Everybody’s got to be training in the off-season,” she said. “We could be a really strong team.”

RAMONA’S TRAINER BY PETER SAN NICOLAS
Greatness is found in the group
I
was asked recently, “How do you do all you do?” I’ve been blessed to own RFC (Ramona Fitness Center) for
the last 16 years, my wife and I have a wedding business and three children, and I’m a Realtor at Re/Max Direct. The honest answer is, I
DON’T. I mean two things when I say this. Number one, I don’t get everything done. Unfortunately, some things
are left undone, as I must make a priority choice as to what to do and not do based on the time I have and the importance of the duty. Secondly, in everything I do, and I suspect you as well, I/we have a team or a GROUP behind us. From the staff at RFC of 30 trainers, reception members and instructors led by Angela Butler to our team of photographers and videographers in the wedding
business, we get more done in a GROUP. The same holds true when it comes to fitness and living a healthy lifestyle. Having people with the same goals and vision goes a long way in the success of the group as well as the success of each individual. We have just concluded our first round of the Amazing 12, a 12-week physique transformation program, and
are embarking on another journey with 20 more participants. The drastic success of each member is largely due to the fact that there is a camaraderie and accountability amongst the people in the program. Here are some components that foster success when working in a GROUP: Energy. Positive energy is more powerful than negative energy when it comes to the group. When one person is wanting to give in and give up, while the person next to him/her is motivated and inspired, the transfer of the positive energy is stronger than the transfer of negative energy. It’s unlikely that someone who’s inspired and feeling great is going to allow an unmotivated person pull him down. The unmotivated one will likely see the others drive and determination and will start picking up the slack. A member of my colleague Todd Durkin’s gym shared a word with me last year and it stuck. Contagiasm. Contagious-Enthusiasm. Once again, when someone is enthusiastic and excited about something, that enthusiasm is contagious and is spread throughout the group. Sharing of the workload and synergy. Here’s a real-world example that applies to all of us. We’ve just made the monthly trip to Costco, and the SUV is stocked full with all healthy food (wink wink). Would you rather come home and no one be there to help, or come home when your spouse and kids are home? I know my choice. I’ll take the help and share the load. Typically mom and dad get the large items and the kids get the smaller items that may even go on the lower shelves in the pantry where they can even put away. Everyone only needs to make two trips as opposed to doing it yourself, and making 10 trips. It’s a simple example, but shows us how sharing the workload cuts time, saves energy and creates synergy. Accountability. As a 27year fitness fanatic, I still need to be accountable to others to reach my potential. In a GROUP you are accountable to others to show up, work hard, eat right and do the things you may not “feel” like that day. Accountability drives us to our best. I encourage you this week to seek out a GROUP or a team to make you better and return the favor and do the same for others in the GROUP.

Snyder bests team record Qualified in eight events, Noah Snyder represented Ramona Swim Team at the San Diego/Imperial Junior Olympics held in Poway on Saturday and Sunday. “This swim meet brought together the best swimmers from across the two counties to compete,” said his coach, Jolyn Yanez. Snyder started the meet swimming the 100-yard breaststroke. He improved his seed time by 1.27 seconds, finishing his preliminary swim 11 overall and qualifying to race again in the finals that evening. His personal best time, now 1:08.67, was only seven-hundredths over the team record, set in January 2010 by Garrett Glaudini of Ramona. He also swam the 50 freestyle on Saturday morning in 36.08 seconds and swam a personal best in the 100 backstroke, swimming a 1:04.48. In the Saturday evening finals, the 14-year-old stayed focused, beating out another competitor and finished 10th overall, dropping another four-tenths of a second off his morning swim, for a final finishing touch at 1:08.28, putting him below the team record mark by a full three-tenths of a second. Snyder said he was thrilled to set the new mark for Ramona Swim Team. On Sunday, Snyder returned, ready to
compete in his favorite event, the 200 breaststroke. He took the race out fast, focused on maintaining speed through the pullouts and into the breakout strokes at each turn. Finishing his preliminary swim, 5.6 seconds under his seed time, moved him from 16 to ninth in the competition, and he qualified to swim in the evening’s finals. He rounded out his preliminary swims completing the 100 butterfly in 1:03.25, finishing 21, and the 200 individual medley in 2:19.53, improving his time by 1.10 seconds and moving up six places to 28 overall. Yanez said that the finals competition Sunday evening was fierce, but Snyder took things in stride and with tremendous grace. “He got off the blocks fast and never looked back,” she said. Snyder finished 2.22 seconds ahead of the rest of his heat. He finished ninth place overall and improved his qualifying time from the morning’s session by 1.12 seconds for a final time of 2:29.24. “Noah really played to his strengths in both his preliminary and finals swims,” said Yanez. “He maintained the fast tempo he’d worked on in his training sessions, and pushed himself to out-swim his competitors.”

FROM RODEO QUEEN, A1 will begin at 8:30 Saturday morning at the Ramona Rodeo grounds at the same address. For the four 2016 queen contestants, it will be a busy day. Following horsemanship, they will take a written test and then vote on who will receive the congeniality award. After a short break, they will return for interviews. Presented by Poway Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, the evening pageant will include a fashion show featuring local queens, and each of the four contestants will answer impromptu questions and give an impromptu speech. In addition to congeniality, pageant categories are photogenic, personality,
stage presence, appearance, horsemanship and written test. Each contestant will bring an opportunity drawing basket to the pageant. Tickets will be sold for the baskets and for the chance to win a table for 10 in the preferred seating area at the Friday Ramona Rodeo on May 20. Phillips, who is marketing coordinator for Boot Barn, has been doing double duty the past few months — as rodeo queen and as rodeo queen pageant coordinator helping to prepare the queen hopefuls for the pageant. Two of the contestants are Ramona residents, one lives in Santee and one in Wildomar. Sarah Andrews, 20, was born in St. Louis, Mo., and raised in Ramona since

with government, Anderson, a Republican, was critical of Gov. Jerry Brown and the Democrat-led legislature. Resident George Boggs brought up a concern that appeared to be shared by many at the meeting: public safety on state Route 67 at the Mt. Woodson trailhead. Boggs said vehicles are lined up along both sides of the highway and hikers often have to run across the four lanes to the trailhead.
"I'm amazed that somebody hasn't gotten killed there," said Boggs. “It’s a big problem,” someone called out from the crowd. Anderson said he has been going after Caltrans since he was elected, and the state agency is shifting a lot of resources to mass transit instead of roads. Anderson said he would make inquiries about the issue. “I agree with you wholeheartedly,” he said. The state senator said the money that is being spent on the

state’s high-speed rail, which is supposed to run from the Silicon Valley to the Central Valley, would be better spent on new technology for vehicles, road infrastructure or water projects. “It’s going from nowhere to nowhere. It’s a big scam,” Anderson said of the bullet train, to which many voiced agreement. One resident asked about the state-mandated water restrictions, saying that the San Diego County Water Authority (CWA) invested in infrastructure and had such a surplus of water that it had to dump treated water into a reservoir. Anderson said he believes the governor is becoming sympathetic to the San Diego region and has promised some relief. Several were concerned about new groundwater management laws and how they would affect their wells. Dan Summers said there was a rumor that Jerry Brown will put water meters on private wells. Anderson said there are a lot of bills and he was not sure which one they were referring to, but added that he voted for a bill that county water authority and other water agencies endorsed. The senator said if metering wells was in the analysis of a bill he would not have voted for it and doubted that CWA would have supported it. He encouraged residents to contact him when there is a bill or issue of concern, saying he takes note if 25 people contact him about a particular topic. “Your input is really valued,” he said. Debra Lorenzen with Mental Health Systems told Anderson that four medical marijuana dispensaries are planning to open in Ramona and asked Anderson what he can do to stop them in the community. Anderson said that is up to the county, but he gave his opinion on medical marijuana: “I don’t think marijuana today is a safe drug that doesn't lead to worse things.” The senator said he voted against dispensaries and today’s marijuana is six times more powerful compared to what it was in the 1960s. “I don’t support marijuana. Never have. Never will,” he said. Anderson warned his constituents of a proposition that will be on the June 2016 primary ballot to allow a legislator to be suspended without salary or benefits if there is a basis for the suspension. That is not enough to punish those who do not follow the law, he said. He referred to three Democratic colleagues (Leland Yee, Ron Calderon and Rod Wright) who were indicted in 2014 on multiple federal corruption charges. Anderson said Sen. Rod Wright was found guilty of eight felonies and still serving in the senate when he wrote a resolution to expel Wright, but instead the legislator was suspended with pay. “If you don’t follow the law, you don’t have the right to be in office,” said Anderson, noting that when a lawmaker is suspended, his constituents do not have representation. According to the Republican senator, his own party did not support him, and his actions led to him being stripped of committees. The June proposition, Prop 50, is a scam to go soft on elected felons, he said. Anderson, who said he works full days until 11 p.m., stayed around afterward to talk one-on-one with residents and answer additional questions.

NEWS BRIEFS Anderson pulls out of county race State Sen. Joel Anderson has pulled out of the race to unseat Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who has represented District 2 on the county board for 24 years. Jacob is running for her final four-year term as term limits would force her from office in 2020.
Many people were surprised last year when Anderson decided to run against his fellow Republican. He made no mention of the race for supervisor when he held a community coffee in Ramona last Thursday, although in response to a couple of questions posed by residents he said they were more county-related and questions for the supervisor. According to an article in the San Diego
Union Tribune, local GOP Chairman Tony Krvaric confirmed Anderson announced his intentions Friday night at a gathering of the Republican-leaning Lincoln Club.

able to follow CIF membership bylaws," CIF Commissioner Jerry Schniepp said. "We all agreed that they would drop their membership application." "We don't have enough kids at the school to field a team in anything," Thorpe said. Borrego Springs Unified School District sponsors the charter school, which rents a suite at 850 Main St. in Ramona for classes and also offers online education. The school is in its seventh year and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and the University of California accepts the school's A-G curriculum.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association has approved the curriculum, so Juan Bautista de Anza graduates can play NCAA sports and receive scholarships. "They still have to get their 220 units of credit for graduation," Thorpe said. "They still have to do the same rigorous process that any other WASC-accredited school has to do." Thorpe has signed a memorandum of understanding with the SoCal Volleyball Club, which allows use of that San Marcos facility's classrooms for Juan Bautista de Anza students. "We're going to work with the clubs," Thorpe said.

BY JOE NAIMAN For now, Juan Bautista de Anza Charter School will not be a California Interscholastic Federation member. "We're going to have athletics, but they will not be CIF," said Juan Bautista de Anza Principal Sandra Thorpe. "They would be playing with their clubs." Juan Bautista de Anza Athletic Director David Reichner submitted an application for CIF membership, but the $200 application fee had not been submitted, so it was not considered a valid application. In addition, CIF staff had concerns about the school's application. "They were not going to be
Disabilities Education Act “by failing to monitor, investigate, provide services to, and enforce the rights of children with disabilities consistent with its obligations under the law.” “The good news is that parents or students over the age of 18 can object to the disclosure of their personal information,” Graeff said in his phone message to parents, including those of students dating back to 2008. Information on how to opt-out is on Ramona Unified’s website at www.ramonausd.net, on each Ramona school’s website and on the California Department of Education website at www.cde.ca.gov. “It is important to note that even though Ramona Unified was not part of this lawsuit and is not the

subject of any of the suit’s allegations, the Department of Education has been ordered by the court to release the data of every student dating back to 2008,” Graeff said. He encouraged parents and former students who are age 18 and older and affected by the ruling to “take the next step” by opting-out. In an email to district administrators, he said he planned to do that for his two school-aged children. “In the past few days I have spoken to well over 60 parents and grandparents in this district and not a single one thinks the release of this data is acceptable,” Ramona trustee Dawn Perfect said in an email. As a representative of the San Diego region for the California School Boards Association, Perfect was in Sacramento this past weekend. “In my meetings with a
dozen or so school board members from across the state, all are scrambling to put out the word about the opt-out form,” she said. “Parents trust the schools to protect their personal student information. This court ruling puts us in a bind to comply with an action I disagree with, so my personal message is to submit the opt-out form. I will do so for my own three children that attended our schools since 2008 and I'm making sure that the word gets out to as many current and former students as possible.” The ruling affects former students as old as age 25, and some are away at college or have started their adult lives in other states, she said. Contacting them about the opt-out information may be a challenge, but, she said, “We are counting on both traditional and social media to spread the word.”

Club to hear from massage therapist Ramona native Holly White, a massage therapist and chiropractic assistant, will be the guest speaker at the Ramona Woman’s Club meeting on Thursday, March 3, at 1 p.m. White, licensed by the State of California as a massage technician, has training in orthopedic massage and specializes in restoring the range of motion in necks, shoulders and hips. The
meeting will be in the club building at 524 Main St. Though massage used to be thought of as a luxury people and science are discovering the medical and emotional benefits, she said. Among conditions helped by regular massage are anxiety/depression, headaches, insomnia related to stress, joint flexibility, muscle cramps, posture and post-surgical recovery.
White is the mother of three teenagers and one 9-year-old. She has roots in the Ramona Woman’s Club, since her grandmother, Esther Tippets, was a member, noted Wendy Wygant, the club’s first vice president. Also, Ramona Woman's Club is looking for tenants for ongoing rental space in its building. Anyone interested may contact Jill McKenzie at 760-789-3596.

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 insur-

Watch for impact of ballot initiatives, experts warn BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Paying sharp attention to initiatives on the June and November ballots will be critical since items voters support — or not — could have unexpected, long-term consequences, according to government officials. “Don’t get proposition fatigue when going through your ballot,” advised Helen Robbins-Meyer, chief administrative officer for the County of San Diego, when speaking to the 150 attendees at the Feb. 10 State of the Region Luncheon in Rancho Bernardo. North San Diego Business Chamber organized the event. Robbins-Meyer said she does not foresee much change in who gets elected at local, state and federal levels. But propositions and legislative bills are an entirely different story. She said Proposition 47, passed in 2014, is a good example. It reclassified some non-violent felony crimes as misdemeanors, especially drug crimes. Since it did not increase public safety resources, Robbins-Meyer said a long-term impact on crime rates is starting to materialize and local criminal activity has crept up in the past year. “We did that to ourselves, voters,” she said. Among 68 initiatives circulating across the state for potential ballot inclusion this year, she said some to watch include one on legalizing recreational marijuana, another on spending $350 million in public money on a new football stadium for the Chargers, a half-cent sales tax increase through SANDAG for transportation, and minimum wage increases. Regarding the minimum wage initiative, Robbins-Meyer said, “look for escalators that determine if you can succeed in a few years.” She said some legislative bills are killing businesses, especially when the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is reformed. In terms of building additional housing, she said CEQA needs reform. “Business has always overcome any problem,” she said. “We have the innovation and the creativity. ...We will figure it out.” As for her assessment of how things are going in the county, Robbins-Meyer said “good” because “unemployment is low, housing has recovered, consumers are buying, and we have a wonderful diversity of business.” The latter includes

Panel moderator Nels Jensen (San Diego Business Journal editor-in-chief) with luncheon speakers Helen Robbins-Meyer (chief administrative officer for the County of San Diego), Diane Harkey (District 4 representative on California’s Board of Equalization) and Michael Tanner (senior fellow at the Cato Institute). universities, research, tourism, biotech and technology. “All are humming. Off the charts? No. But humming.” “I am optimistic (the economy) will remain good this year and into next year,” she said. “I am cautiously optimistic.” Regarding fluctuations in oil prices and stock market, Robbins-Meyer said, “My only advice is to keep your Pepto-Bismol by your bedside.” She added that an upcoming Supreme Court case could impact labor union membership and dues, which could decrease unions’ financial resources. To keep influence in government, unions will need to raise more money by recruiting additional members. To do this, unions must demonstrate their worth to members and will put additional pressure on businesses to hire union members. “We live in a blue state and it’s getting bluer,” Robbins-Meyer said. “As a business, you have to figure what this will mean to your business. ... (Unions) have a big influence in Sacramento.” Now that the financial outlook is improving for the business sector, she said businesses need to re-examine their and government’s social and moral responsibilities, especially regarding the homeless, those with mental illness and the growing numbers of people at or below the poverty level. “Social policy is as important as fiscal policy ... it has an impact ... on public safety,” she said. Diane Harkey, District 4 representative on California’s
Board of Equalization, said the state is doing “a lot better” financially, with $124.2 billion projected in total revenues for 2016-17, up 3.2 percent or $3.8 billion over last year. Its rainy day fund is required to have $2.6 billion, but the governor is proposing an additional $2 billion plus $1.1 billion for flexible needs. Harkey said home sales and construction are up, along with automobile sales, but the state still has a “long-term wall of debt” with $400 billion in unfunded liabilities due to public pension debt. “I think Governor Brown is chipping away (at this),” she said. She said outside forces are among the state’s risk factors, mentioning that low interest rates are good for homebuyers, but bad for savers and pension funds. “It’s good for the stock market, but bad for leverage,” Harkey said. “I think we are very over levered as a nation. ... All the hedge (funds) are exploding again, which we can’t ignore.” She said low oil prices are good for auto sales and consumers in the short term, but bad for transportation funding and California refineries. Harkey also warned about upcoming state initiatives on the ballot, calling it “a process on steroids.” She said an initiative attempting to chip away at Proposition 13 will make an appearance, so “hold onto your wallets.” The marijuana initiative “will affect your life in Southern California.” “If recreational use passes, it
will be a huge industry,” she said. “The problem is there is no public safety funding or general funding. It’s all special marijuana funding and building another bureaucracy to implement and regulate this. I am pushing very hard for public safety funding ... concerned since we’re so close to the border.” In terms of outside influences on the region’s economy, Harkey said the San Diego region should not be deeply impacted because financial benefits from its strong military presence will insulate the area. “(The military) is your saving grace,” she said. Michael Tanner, senior fellow at the Cato Institute, said recent federal government spending was $4.35 billion more than it took in, good news since that debt is $1 trillion lower than expenditures five years ago. He called the lower amount “a temporary phenomenon” and projected it will be in the trillions annually by 2022. “It’s not the worse thing to run a budget deficit once in a while, but if you do it month after month, year after year, you end up with a problem,” Tanner said, adding the national debt just passed $19 trillion and is rising. The amount does not take into account unfunded entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, which he said are the crux of the problem. “You cannot tax your way out of the debt we’re in,” he said. “We must cut federal spending. ... You do not get it by cutting the usual suspects ... (but) Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, which are more than 50 percent of federal spending.”
