RAMONA STREET RESCUE

s other emergency responders watch, Cal Fire/Ramona Firefighter/Paramedic Keith Richards helps a woman whose car stalled in about three feet of water on Ramona Street near H Street Monday afternoon. Emergency crews responding to the call for a swift water rescue arrived to find the woman, who had called 911, on the top of the vehicle, said Richards. A rope connected Richards to other crew members. He put a life vest on her and helped walk her out of the water. The woman refused medical aid and someone came to take her home, said Richards. County workers had closed Ramona Street at H Street due to flooding just before 11 a.m. Monday. From Sunday morning until early Tuesday, Ramona received 5.13 inches of rain, with most drenching the town on Monday. For more about this week’s heavy rain and hazardous roads, see page 2.

Student fabricates report of gun threat

850 Main Street, Suite 106 Ramona, CA 92065

The student saying he overheard individuals stating that they planned gun-related violence for Friday on the Ramona High School campus has admitted he fabricated the report, Ramona Unified School District Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., said Friday. As soon as the student reported the threat last Thursday, the school contacted the Sheriff’s Department, Staffieri said in an email. Working jointly with law enforcement, the school district conducted an extensive investigation that lasted

throughout the day. As of Friday, officials received admission from the student that it was all a fabrication. The student is being disciplined by school administrators at this time, said Staffieri. “It is unfortunate that this student fabrication has caused such an unnecessary disruption to the educational environment of Ramona High School,” said Staffieri. “We handle anything like this with SEE THREAT, A22

BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona had the third lowest crime rate in the county in 2016, according to a recent report, but also saw a spike in property crimes last September that the sheriff's station combated with additional law enforcement. The FBI crime rate report showed Ramona at 6.6 crimes per 1,000 people — lower than the national average of 10 to 12 crimes per 1,000, said Lt. Jerry Hartman at the sheriff's Ramona station. Ramona ranked in the county behind Imperial Beach and 4S Ranch, he said. In September the number of property crimes peaked at 27 in Ramona with many of those vehicle burglaries at trailheads, said Hartman. Property crimes can also include auto theft, residential and business burglaries and shoplifting. The Sheriff's Analysis Driven Law Enforcement (SADLE) team was called in and began working in the community the Monday after Thanksgiving and concluded at the end of January, he said. During that time there were 66 traffic stops, 21 felony arrests, 22 misdemeanors, and 18 probation compliance checks, and authorities recovered three firearms, 122 pieces of stolen property, 62 grams of heroin, and 132 grams of methamphetamine, said Hartman. Most of the arrests were Ramona residents, he said. "A lot of those arrests came off compliance checks," said the lieutenant. In November the number of property crimes decreased to 15, rose to 16 the next month, and then dropped to nine in January. The February statistics were not yet available, said Hartman. The SADLE team looked at prolific offenders in the community, petty thieves or people who have a history of being at known drug houses or breaking into cars or houses, he said. SEE CRIME, A22

Heavy rains drench town In a 72-hour period ending at 4 a.m. Tuesday, the storms that drenched San Diego County had dumped 5.13 inches of rain on Ramona. The North Pacific storm merged with moisture from the subtropics, bringing the heaviest rain the county has received all winter. Steady heavy rain Monday resulted in numerous road closures and debris hazards in Ramona. Among road closures were Rangeland Road at Highland Valley Road, Hunter Street between Raymond and Rowley streets, Etcheverry Street between San Diego and Raymond avenues, Hanson Lane between Wilson and Griffith roads, Magnolia between Penn Street and state Route 78, and Ramona Street between H Street and Raymond Avenue. In addition, Wildcat Canyon Road was closed between Founders Way and Ak-uunyaa Way because of flooding, and in Julian a landslide blocked state Route 78 at Banner Drive. A boulder the size of a Volkswagen slid onto state Route 67 near Cloudy Moon Drive about 10:30 p.m. Monday, and Caltrans reported calling a demolition crew to blast the boulder into pieces that could be removed.

Sheriff’s station asks public’s help in identifying two robbery suspects The sheriff’s Ramona station is asking the public to help identify two suspects recorded in a security video after an assault and robbery of an 89-year-old Marine veteran near CVS drugstore on Feb. 11. Both suspects were males, estimated to be 17 to 20 years old. One is described as black, 5 feet, 8 inches to 6 feet tall, 160 to 180 pounds, with short black hair. The other is described as white, 5 feet, 8 inches to 6 feet tall, 150 to 170 pounds, with short brown hair. The mugging happened around 1:40 p.m. to the elderly veteran and Ramona resident who was in the parking lot of the drugstore at 1810 Main St. According to the sheriff’s station, the resident saw two males fitting those descriptions standing next to the Redbox vending machine by the store. “Words were exchanged and the two males led the resident to a garage on the property next door where they assaulted him and stole his Marine Corps medallion and gold chain,” reported the sheriff’s station. About 20 minutes after the robbery, the two suspects went into Jewelry World & Loan pawn shop at 1668 Main St. and asked how much they could get for the medallion, officials stated. They were recorded on the pawn shop’s security video. Anyone who can identify either suspect is asked to call the sheriff’s Ramona station at 760-789-9157.

Man faces May 2 trial for vehicular manslaughter BY NEAL PUTNAM A Ramona man suspected of driving drunk and causing a collision that killed a Ramona woman in September will stand trial on May 2. Paul Alan Schenk, 49, pleaded not guilty to all charges Feb. 15 involving the death of Racheal Marie Guarneros-Callahan of Ramona on Sept. 12, 2016. He also pleaded not guilty to child endangerment of his two young children who were injured in the same incident. He is charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, driving under the influence of alcohol with injury to his two children, and two counts of child endangerment. Schenk was driving a Ford F-250 eastbound on Vista Ramona Road around 4:30 p.m. and was speeding, according to court records. His vehicle veered onto the south gravel shoulder and he overcorrected to the left over the double parallel solid yellow lines. Guarneros-Callahan was driving a Nissan Altima westbound on Vista Ramona Road east of Old Julian Highway when Schenk’s truck struck her vehicle. The collision propelled the Nissan in a northeastern direction.

Paramedics pronounced Guarneros-Callahan deceased at the scene. A lifelong resident of Ramona, she is survived by her parents, brothers, sister, and others. A memorial service was held Sept. 16, 2016, at Mountain View Community Church. A preliminary hearing was held Jan. 11 before El Cajon Superior Court Judge Lantz Lewis, who ordered Schenk to stand trial on all charges. Schenk suffered a fractured vertebra. Charges were filed several weeks after he left a hospital. He was arrested and remains in the Vista Detention Facility on $2 million bail. His 4-year-old son was in a car seat, but unrestrained, and the force of the collision threw him through the rear window. He landed in the truck bed, according to the California Highway Patrol. Schenk’s 5-year-old daughter was in a booster seat not designed for her age, and she was partially ejected from the seat. She hit the dashboard. Both children were hospitalized. Schenk has hired attorney Paul Pfingst to represent him. Pfingst, who was elected district attorney for two terms, could not be reached for comment.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Constituents will choose location of town hall meeting BY PIERRE BEAUREGARD I would like to give your readers a personal observation from my point of view as a demonstrator for the Indivisible Ramona and a Duncan Hunter guest of his Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Harrison. I arrived at the second Tuesday meeting that was held in Rep. Duncan Hunter’s El Cajon office with about five other guests. Mr. Harrison was very gracious and treated the meeting as seriously as we did in addressing our questions and our requests. At the end of the meeting there were points that needed answers and Mr. Harrison said he could have them for us the next meeting, which was this last Tuesday. He did have answers for us, not the ones we were hoping for, but he did follow through. During these indoor meetings demonstrations were taking place on the city sidewalks in front of the little strip mall where Rep. Hunter's office is located. By the way, it is located down from an Asian massage parlor, hookah salon and across the street from a porn shop, probably the worst place to locate an office as dignified as a Congressman's office. We returned the next Thursday as a massive group of people throughout the 50th Congressional District that was organized by several Indivisible groups and Moveon.org from what I hear. When we all arrived we found a note on the locked door of the office warning that Congressman Hunter has ordered no more meetings because it disrupted business, people hanging out in the parking lot did the same. There was a complaint of video taping inside the office, which not one of our group witnessed and we were aware of the policy. It was a complete turnaround, what we all thought was a very thoughtful and generous effort on Mr. Harrison's part to meet with us to a description of a very disruptive and rude mob. At the end of our meeting on the third Tuesday we all thanked Harrison for his professionalism and attention, which ended in a sincere ovation from the large group outside of the office. Flash forward to this last Friday, Feb. 24, which we got word from Hunter's office that a town hall meeting will take place on March 11 at the Ramona Mainstage. This seem to be a victory to all Indivisible groups that all the hard work and public demonstrations worked. To remind fellow Ramona residents that the Ramona Mainstage is the meeting place for the Ramona TEA'd Party. I have attended several of their monthly meetings just to keep informed and have walked away each time with a very unique impression of what goes on in the minds of these people who go there. Number one I have noticed is their minds are made up, about whatever it is, they are made up and you can bet there is somebody there that it is making it up for them. My last visit was this Saturday, Feb. 25, the day before our Indivisible group meets at the Ramona Public SEE HUNTER, A5

JANICE REICH

Area residents, some holding U.S. flags, rally near Congressman Duncan Hunter’s El Cajon office last Tuesday for a town hall meeting with the congressman.

Congressman responds to meeting requests I'd like to thank Duncan Hunter for agreeing to hold a town hall meeting in Ramona on Saturday, March 11, 10 a.m., at the Ramona Mainstage. It is very vital to our community that we have our civic concerns addressed. I have attended several peaceful rallies at Hunter's office, most recently, Feb. 21, hundreds of people requesting a meeting with Hunter in a vocal yet calm manner. I'm so very grateful that our strong message was received and we now have a response to our request for a meeting. Hopefully the Mainstage will be a neutral venue with enough space for the many people wishing to attend. Protecting and preserving our civil liberties. Janice Reich Ramona

School auditorium better suited for Hunter meeting I understand that Duncan Hunter has scheduled a town hall meeting for the 11th of March. This is great. I'm sure a lot of people would

like to hear his position on so many of the issues and changes that are currently happening to our country. However, I'm wondering how the venue was chosen? The Ramona Mainstage is a small intimate setting with seating for approximately 100 people. And some of the seating have their backs toward the stage. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to hold this town hall at one of the school auditoriums, where there is more room, better parking, and would allow a greater number of people to participate? David Baker Ramona

Hear the voices of constituents Many Ramona residents, including myself, along with numerous other Democrats and Republicans throughout San Diego County have made dozens of requests for Duncan Hunter to meet with us in a town hall forum. So far our pleas for communication with him to express concerns about the current Republican administration have not been answered. What is the cost of our democracy when open-minded communication ceases to exist? I am asking Representative Hunter to keep his mind open and to fulfill his obligation to hear the voices of his district constituents. Deborah Rosasco Ramona

Town hall meeting would be helpful Given the many important issues facing our great nation, it would be very helpful if our congressman, Duncan Hunter, comes to Ramona for a town hall meeting. Walt Sindewald Ramona

FROM LETTERS, A4 22, 2017, “Hunter supports America.” All said and done the courts found that Mr. Trump’s original immigration order was unconstitutional. When that happened our Congressman Duncan Hunter should have reversed himself and demanded that Trump immediately rescind the order. But instead Hunter’s people issued endless variations of how the order was poorly launched, inconveniencing only a few, etc., etc. Green card holders were being held at airports and border crossings, a violation of their constitutional rights. Still Hunter held his

FROM HUNTER, A4 Library. The Ramona TEA'd meeting before the main topic was about the Hunter town hall meeting on March 11. The main speaker was describing the Indivisible Ramona group as part of a national movement to "Resist the Trump Agenda," and that is basically true to a point. On the list of Action Items it gave the general website www.indivisibleguide.com and then a request for members to go to our meeting because "We need intel," referring to the military term “intelligence." I feel these people think they are at war with their Ramona neighbors. With all empathy I think they are afraid that the Indivisible group is at war with them. The host said, "If somebody wants to play detective and go to the meeting at the library, that would help." The discussion then came to the town hall. Duncan Hunter chose the Ramona Mainstage for several reasons. It is the headquarters for the TEA Party, there is only enough room there to safely seat approximately 400 people. Knowing that there are going to be maybe twice as much as that, there will be an overflow outside on the sidewalk, which is going to be controlled by law enforcement, as they must maintain safety for all pedestrians because it will overflow into the street. As the host of the TEA'd meeting said that all that we (Indivisible groups) do is agitate and cause trouble, I am sure that the crowd the TEA'd people draw will of course live up to their reputation also. So where am I going with all this? The last thing the host of the Ramona TEA'd meeting said was "Listen people. They are coming into our house (Ramona Mainstage). This is our home and we must protect it.” Congressman Duncan Hunter in my opinion is clever. He picked that venue for only one reason, because he is afraid. He is afraid to meet his constituents. Who he thinks his constituents are are the people that come to the Ramona Mainstage, or the Intermountain

support for Trump, not those protected by the Constitution. Apparently Hunter’s support for America includes a willingness to infringe on the rights of certain people. Perhaps Hunter should publicly list policies that infringe on people's rights that he is willing to support, and the ones he doesn’t so we can all be clear of what to expect. I stand my ground that Duncan Hunter and other GOP Congressmen need to decide: Do they represent us all, or the person heading the executive branch? Dave Patterson Ramona Republican Women Federated or maybe a few hand-picked veterans at the local VFW (of which I am a member). He is afraid to meet his constituents. The artists that teach our children beauty within themselves, teachers that are struggling to bring the test scores up from an embarrassing outcome. The winemakers, farmers, self-employed and stand-alone business owners. The Hispanic neighbors that are now afraid to be rousted by ICE, because the rumors flow rampantly through that community. His constituents’ children that are now being bullied by children of the emboldened Trump supporters that adopted his abusive model toward women, Mexicans, the handicapped, African Americans and veterans that were POWs. I’m hearing and reading about Christians I know that have completely forgotten Christ's example of being our brother's keeper, non-violent resistance against injustices. Love thy neighbor has certain ethnic and religious restrictions to it. Watching the First Amendment of the Constitution slowly being disintegrated before our very eyes on TV, and because Trump is doing it all, that's OK? Duncan Hunter, you have to listen and listen good. Even though you published that Trump is doing everything right, you better snap out of it and realize you do not work for Donald Trump. You do not work for the TEA Party, or the Defense industry, although they pay you generously, and you are not above the law. When I needed $40,000 to pay off my student loan before Sallie Mae almost took my home, I didn't have a campaign fund to steal money from. If I did I would be in jail, even if I did try and pay it back. So, Ramona citizens and the constituents of the 50th Congressional District are going to change your choice of venue to one of the schools in the area, which we are willing to pay for, not your Ramona Mainstage, which is being paid by your cronies. When we get the venue, please show up for work. Pierre Beauregard is a Ramona resident.

Mt. Woodson Trail, a blessing for 25 years BY HAL MORTIER “Oh, I have hiked Mt. Woodson a thousand times” many might say in a cliché or flippant manner -especially if they have, in fact, done it fairly often, and it probably seemed like a thousand times. Well, I have literally hiked Mt. Woodson a thousand times. I don’t share this boastfully in any way, but simply applying some simple math assures me that I have. You see, I started hiking Mt. Woodson over 25 years ago with varying regiments during this time but with good regularity. During my “nose down and work hard” firefighting days, I tried to hike multiple times a week to help stay in shape for my job over and above my normal work physical training. Once I promoted to the chief level and physical training was not always a part of my work day, I made sure I hiked Mt. Woodson on a very regular basis after or before work in an attempt to stay in shape. For the last 12 plus years I have continued that pace post retirement from the fire service and perhaps hike it even more often. So if I only averaged once a week during this time frame (which I comfortably believe to be more around two to three times per week), I have officially hiked it more than a thousand times.

I share this with you not for any kind of recognition, as others have certainly managed or bettered this over time, but instead to assure you I am somewhat familiar with the goings-on along the Mt. Woodson trail. I want to share some of that with you here. From the Ramona side at Hwy. 67 it is about 2 miles to the summit with an approximate 1,500-foot gain in elevation making it a 4-mile round trip. It starts with a short connecting section of dirt trail, but the vast majority of the hike is along a paved service road used for the communication facilities at the top. An approximate 7-mile round trip on a dirt trail can be accessed from the Lake Poway area on the west side that also gets you to the top of the mountain. Mt. Woodson is considered a moderate hike for experienced hikers but most novice hikers would surely take exception to that as it is really pretty steep. The destination or draw for this hike is the infamous “Potato Chip” rock just past the crest or summit when coming from the Ramona side and just before the summit on the Poway side. This unique boulder takes the shape of a potato chip and overhangs eerily above the steep slope and vegetation below. Hikers on busy days stand in long lines

HAL MORTIER

Hal Mortier’s daughter-in-law, Becky Mortier, stands on Potato Chip Rock on Mt. Woodson. waiting to get their photo taken standing atop this engaging precipice. People literally come from around the world to see this feature that locals likely don’t appreciate as we should, me included. I have no issue with traveling across Ramona

from my residence to see this rock, but from Japan? That seems to be quite a stretch! My current hiking partner (approximately 4 years now) and I have witnessed many things during our time hiking this trail together,

some amusing and some not so. We have some fun with it as we name or title certain individuals or groups depending on their uniqueness or distinct characteristics. Some of our favorites and why are bulleted below: • The first is my hiking partner herself who carries push-up bars and repeats sets of 10 to 15 push-ups every ¼ mile or so without stopping to rest, always continuing to hustle up the hill. She affectionately is known as Push-up girl. • New Year’s Resolutionists are the well-intended group of over 1,000 individuals who show up on New Year’s Day or thereabouts to begin their new dedicated and robust exercise program for the year. The fun is watching that number rapidly diminish with each passing week with things basically back to normal on the trail 3 to 4 weeks later. • The Christmas Spiriters. As Christmas approaches an approximate 15-foot tall pine tree near the top of the hike begins to get decorated with each passing day. Hiking regulars carry a decoration or two up to place on the tree and daily it becomes more beautiful, as many pitch in to make it so. • Tall guy got his name from his apparent 7 foot stature but makes SEE TRAIL, A18

Schweitzer to lead vineyard group for next 3 years Applauds outgoing president Moore BY JOYCE STRAND The Board of Directors of the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association (RVVA) selected Bill Schweitzer as their new president for the next three-year term. Schweitzer, whose Paccielo Vineyard supplies grapes to several Ramona wineries, was a founder and past-president of the RVVA and was among those leading the effort to create the Ramona Valley American Viticulture Area (AVA), awarded to the area in 2006. He is also co-founder and vice president of operations of the Ramona Olive Oil Corp. and founder and president of Sky Valley Networks, supplying wireless Internet service to the Ramona area.

Schweitzer succeeds outgoing president Micole Moore, co-owner of Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery, who served from 2014 to 2017. Moore will remain on the board as past president and will chair the Grape Symposium Committee. “We all thank outgoing president Micole Moore for his accomplishments,” said Schweitzer. “Under his leadership, RVVA membership has grown to more than 100,” said Schweitzer. “We strengthened our education programs, a key objective of the RVVA, with monthly meetings featuring expert speakers along with an annual one-day Grape Symposium chaired by member Denise Clark, Altipiano Vineyards winemaker.

Paccielo Vineyard owner Bill Schweitzer is Ramona Valley Vineyard Association’s new president. A past-president of RVVA, Schweitzer will serve a three-year term. Michael spearheaded and worked closely with the Ramona Community Planning Group and other leaders of local wine organizations to help improve San Diego County’s tiered winery ordinance.”

In addition, RVVA enhanced Ramona wine region’s visibility through participation at various regional functions and four RVVA events during 2016 that drew visitors for tasting at local wineries, added Schweitzer. “By reinstating the Lum Eisenman Wine Competition, we not only provided our wineries with quality feedback but we also alerted the greater community of the quality of RVVA member wines,” he said. “We ended the year with a new Winery Guide containing detailed information on each RVVA member winery to encourage growth and exploration by visitors.” Schweitzer said he looks forward to building on Moore’s successes. “It is now time for the experienced first generation of local vineyard owners and winemakers to

pay-forward the legacy of Lum Eisenmann,” he said. “There are many things we have all learned that can facilitate Ramona's growth to a respected and well-known winemaking region.” The Ramona Valley Vineyard Association (RVVA) was founded in 2001 and is dedicated “to promote, protect, and enhance the Ramona Valley American Viticulture Area (AVA), our wines, vintners and community.” The RVVA continues to focus on community, education, sustainable operation of vineyards and wineries, and taking a leadership role within the San Diego County wine grape industry. The organization has a total membership of 109, including 29 wineries, 65 vineyards, and 15 business associates. For more information, go to www.ramonavalleyvineyards.com.

Ramona Woman’s Club offers 2017-18 scholarships Applications accepted for $1,000 awards Ramona Woman’s Club invites Ramona high school graduates who have completed one year of college and high school seniors planning to attend a vocational or technical school to apply for a scholarship.

The club has provided scholarships for decades. Fundraising for its 2017-18 scholarships began in August with a Cool Summer Luncheon and will end with its annual Fashion Show on April 13. “This year we hope to offer at least four scholarships and want our applicants to know how to apply,” said Susan Ruputz, Scholarship Committee chair.

Two of the $1,000 scholarships will be for those who have completed one year of college, and two will be for seniors wanting to attend a vocational or technical school. The scholarships will be based on need and completion of satisfactory academic work. Five hundred dollars will be given for the first semester and another $500 for the second semester of that year.

James Dukes’ students delve into science BY KAREN BRAINARD ames Dukes Elementary School's Feb. 22 science fair produced many intriguing and educational projects by students of all ages. "It was stiff competition," said parent volunteer Sara Gilliland. First-grader Memphis Derby tested different types of water on plants for her winning science project. "My result is rainwater made bigger plants and tap water made more sprouts," Memphis said. While she took first place in her grade level, her brother Wyatt Derby garnered first place among third-graders for his testing of soil. Wyatt's research determined that regular dirt worked best for the sweet pea plants he grew versus organic dirt, compost, or manure, said Wyatt and his mother, Michelle. Colten Milton took second place among first-graders for his project on ferrofluid. He explained that the fluid has iron in it and iron is ferrous. It's actually liquid controlled by magnets, he said. The first-grader tested ferrofluid in different types of water and in different shapes of bottles to see the results when he held a magnet to each bottle. A black shape would form in the liquid where the magnet was placed against the bottle. "Ferrofluid looks like oil but it isn't,"

said Colten. Among other projects were what conducts electricity, testing a chemical reaction in milk, testing store brand stain removers, studying whether a flower’s color can change, and creating an electromagnetic motor. This year's fair drew 86 entries with all fourth-graders required to participate. Principal Joy Harris said it helps to prepare them for fifth and sixth grades. "Learning the scientific method is part of the curriculum," she said. Last year's fair featured 200 science projects but fifth- and sixth-graders were also required to participate. The teachers in those grade levels opted out of making it a requirement this year, said Harris. Science project winners First grade: Memphis Derby, 1st; Colten Milton, 2nd; and Daniel Naya, 3rd Second grade: Mark Gilliland, 1st; Noah Dalton, 2nd; and Daxon Harrell, 3rd Third grade: Wyatt Derby, 1st Fourth grade: Ethan Mills and Audie O’Neal, tie for 1st; Audrey Seiver, 3rd; and Lina Jordan, 4th Fifth grade: Cairo Blackwell, 1st; Julia Boruff, 2nd; Oren Reguindin, 3rd; and Isabella Auten, 4th Sixth grade: Hayden Munsch, 1st; Victoria Naya, 2nd; Landon Cannon, 3rd; and Trinity Mikhail, 4th

Supervisor’s coffee covers roads, parks, pot BY KAREN BRAINARD Roads, parks, and marijuana were among topics San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob touched upon during her Feb. 23 Coffee with Constituents. Held in the West Wing of Ramona Town Hall, the event drew about 35 members of the public. Jacob, whose District 2 includes Ramona, is serving a historic seventh term and was elected chairwoman of the Board of Supervisors for 2017. She will be termed out in 2020. "I was a few minutes late today because I wanted to feel your pain," Jacob addressed her constituents, explaining that she drove through the state Route 67 and Dye/Highland Valley Road intersection improvement project. According to Caltrans, she said, the project is 44 percent complete. Construction is expected to be completed this summer. The intersection improvements are aimed at improving the flow of traffic during morning and evening commutes. "It's probably the best example of short-term pain for long-term gain," said Jacob. Roads and parks in the unincorporated areas are two of her concerns, said the supervisor. “Some of the county roads are better than others. I don’t want

Jacob said she has directed staff to bring the roads up to at least a standard of 70, which is considered “acceptable.” One problem is funding, she said, adding that the county is receiving less money from the gas tax because the state has been shifting some of 1st Place Winner!

that tax revenue to other items. President Trump has proposed major infrastructure investment, Jacob noted. “The worse the roads are, the more it costs to bring them up to that standard,” said Jacob. The supervisor said she is considering ways to lock that road standard into perpetuity. When talking about parks, Jacob

highlighted the problems that Ramona Girls Softball has had in trying to put up LED scoreboards at its fields in Wellfield Park by using Park Lands Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) funds that are for Ramona but administered by the county. The work, basically drilling two holes in the ground, has required a minor deviation to the major use permit for the park, “and that has taken way, way too long,” she said. The park is owned by the Ramona Municipal Water District, which leases it to the Ramona Parks and Recreation Association, which subleases areas to different sports associations. “It’s a very complicated organizational structure, the most convoluted complicated I’ve ever seen anywhere,” she said. Release of the PLDO funds for the project are expected to go before the Board of Supervisors in April, she said. Jacob said it has been difficult building new parks in the unincorporated areas because the county has to find a maintenance entity to take care of each park. “I personally think this is a responsibility of county government,” she said. If a park is county-owned, the government should maintain it, she added. SEE JACOB, A12

Lenten fish fries to start Friday

KAREN BRAINARD

County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, right, listens as members of the public introduce themselves during her Feb. 23 Coffee with Constituents in Ramona Town Hall. FROM JACOB, A11 At the March 14 or 15 board meeting, Jacob said they will consider establishing a fund, to be replenished every year, for operation and maintenance of new and existing parks. Scheduled for the March 15 supervisors’ meeting will be the draft ordinance to ban commercialization of marijuana in the unincorporated county, said Jacob. The moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries that supervisors’ adopted a year ago is set to expire March 16. The ban would prohibit dispensaries, cultivation for commercial purposes, and retail shops, said Jacob, and would include an amortization clause that would give any vested dispensary five years to recoup its investment before shutting down. The county Planning Commission did

not endorse an outright ban on Feb. 10 but instead opted for restrictions such as limiting dispensaries to four in one supervisorial district and to two in one community, which had been supported by the Ramona Community Planning Group. Jacob said she rarely disagreed with the planning group but “this one I do.” “Any kind of marijuana is illegal under federal law,” she said. For medicinal purposes, Jacob said it should be dispensed in drugstores. Ramona resident Dave Patterson, a member of Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS), presented Jacob with a certificate thanking her for contributing a $55,000 Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grant for a new playground structure at Ramona Elementary School. The grant will pay half of projected costs for the new play structure.

For the 20th year, the Knights of Columbus will hold Lenten fish fries in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church Social Center on six Fridays starting March 3. Community members of all faiths pack the center at Sixth and E streets for the all-you-can-eat dinners that will be served from 4:30 to 7 p.m. 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, coleslaw, dinner roll, condiments, and coffee or punch. Adult dinners are $12, and children ages 12 and younger are $6. Family tickets for two adults and two or more children are $30.

Clam chowder is $3 a bowl, ice cream is $1, and soda and bottled water are $1 each. Take-out meals may be ordered. Opportunity drawings tickets also are available. A 50/50 drawing is held each week, and drawings are held for gift certificates, baskets of food, and wine. In addition to March 3, the fish fries will be on March 10, 17, 24, and 31, and April 7. Knights of Columbus members prepare the meals, and teens from the church’s youth group are servers. Proceeds benefit community nonprofits such as Ramona Food & Clothes Closet, Ramona Pregnancy Care Clinic, Boy Scouts, IHM Feed the Hungry, IHM youth activities, Michael’s House, the You Are Not Alone (YANA), and Immaculate Heart of Mary Church.

Author to introduce latest mystery novel

Ramona author Jeffrey Crimmel will introduce his latest novel, “The Hemp Papers,” and will be available to sign copies and discuss the book at Unicorn Books and Gifts on Saturday, March 4, from 3 to 5 p.m., In “The Hemp Papers,” the Cyber Department is among agencies working to keep America safe within its borders. Two men working in Washington, D.C., have discovered some suspicious emails between two state senators, and Robert Forrester is hired to find out what illegal activities these men are up to. Forrester brings along his friend, William Ray, and together they investigate the cannabis activities in Tennessee and this multi-million dollar industry. Crimmel has eight published books on Amazon ranging from “Travel, nonfiction” to “Murder, mystery, fiction.” After graduating from University of California Santa Barbara in 1969, he decided to move to Europe and see the world. He had a degree in

Geography and wanted to visit the planet in person and not observe it from a newsreel. He traveled three times through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to India. He eventually settled in Australia after continuing through Southeast Asia and homesteaded in the woods of New South Wales. He returned to the California in 1979 with his wife, Suzanne, and two daughters. Crimmel retired in 2008 after teaching in California and Arizona and began writing about his 1970s’ traveling adventures. A move to San Felipe in Baja California for three years created the time for him to write three more books covering his adventures in Mexico. He eventually began his “Brain Bleed” murder mystery series based on his visit to a San Diego hospital and events that followed after he developed a blood clot in his leg. Unicorn Books and Gifts is at 845 Main St.

Ramona Food & Clothes Closet Foundation recently presented two nonprofits with grants. The foundation gave $4,000 to Cornerstone Therapeutic Riding Center, which provides programs and services for wounded service members recovering from war-related injuries and illnesses. Capability Ranch, which operates a nonprofit activities center for teens and young adults with developmental disabilities, received $1,500 from the foundation. “Cornerstone is one of Ramona’s jewels,” said Vesna Curry, Ramona Food & Clothes Closet manager. “They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides therapy on horseback for children, youth, and adults in our community living with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities … If you’d like help, please contact Cornerstone to learn about their volunteer opportunities and how you can make a difference.” Cornerstone is at 25602 Tin Cup Drive.

Kiddoo, Ramsthaler qualify for state championships Ramona places 7th at Masters

BY DAN BROWN Nathan Kiddoo and Jeffrey Ramsthaler will compete against some of the best high school wrestlers in the state this Friday and Saturday in Bakersfield. Both Ramona High wrestlers advanced to the state meet after placing fourth in their weight class in the Masters Meet at Olympian High School Feb. 24 and 25. All competitors at Masters had to qualify by placing in the top six at the San Diego CIF Championships a week earlier. The top four in each weight class at Masters qualified for the State Meet. Of the 14 weight classes, Ramona sent nine wrestlers to Masters. Baron Napier and Brandon Setterberg were eliminated in the first day of the meet, winning two matches and losing two. Kiddoo at 115 lbs. and Travis Johnson at 287 lbs. were Ramona’s only undefeated wrestlers on Day 1. Five other Ramona wrestlers lost one match the first day but continued in the consolation bracket into the second day: Ramsthaler (122), Jordan Castro (128), Kevin Gonzalez (134), Jacob Rodriguez (140), and Jacob McElwee (197). Each match in the consolation bracket was a win or go home match. McElwee lost his first consolation match when he was pinned in the second and Gonzalez lost his match to end their season. Kiddoo then lost his first match, 10-2, to eventual 115-lb. champion Carson Sauriol from Poway, putting Kiddoo in the consolation bracket. Castro lost a close match, 1-0, to end his high school wrestling career. Rodriguez had one of the more exciting matches of the day as he was down by 2 points with seconds to go in the match when he scored 2 points on a reversal and then put his opponent directly into a cradle for another 2 points as time expired to pull out a 7-5 win and ensure that he would finish higher than his eighth seed. Johnson (287) was injured in the opening seconds of his first match and was

Nathan Kiddoo pins his opponent to advance to the state wrestling meet. unable to continue. He forfeited the rest of his matches but still finished sixth in the heavyweight division. In Kiddoo’s second match of day two, he needed a win to punch his ticket to state competition. He prevailed in a close match, 9-7, and had a jubilant celebration with his coaches after the match. Ramsthaler punched his ticket to the state meet with a pin in his consolation match against a wrestler from Brawley. As the tournament moved closer to the end of the day where few wrestlers were left, the mats were reduced from six to three and repositioned so that each match was highlighted. At that point, three Ramona wrestlers remained. Rodriguez wrestled against Colin Baldwin of Mira Mesa. He lost, 7-4, to finish sixth. Kiddoo, having already qualified for the state meet, forfeited his match to Gustavo Benitez of Calexico to finish fourth. Ramsthaler faced the only wrestler to defeat him in the

tournament, Cameron Santiago of Poway. Ramsthaler lost a close decision, 3-2, to also finish fourth. During the tournament Ramona’s head coach, Tyson Knierim, said that a top 10 finish against all the schools in San Diego and Imperial counties would be great and a top five finish would be really special. Ramona placed seventh with 86.5 points, a half point behind Brawley Union and Steele Canyon, 1 point out of fifth place. Ramsthaler said he is excited to return to the state meet where he had two wins and two losses last year. He hopes to improve over last year with at least three wins. His success and return to the state meet is an accomplishment, considering he is up two weight classes from last year. Kiddoo’s first trip to the state meet has been a long time coming. A top-ranked wrestler for the second year in a row, he said he is not satisfied with what he has accomplished this year. “The season is not over,” he said.

Prep Boys Tennis

Coach, four varsity players return to team BY JOE NAIMAN A scrimmage against Mt. Carmel began 2017 competition for Ramona High School's boys tennis team on Feb. 23. "I feel good about the singles lineup right now. We need to work on developing some doubles," said Ramona coach Rose Darrough. The development of the 2017 team was not as quick as expected, since Darrough returned as coach only in the absence of an interested replacement. "I took the team kind of late," she said. Darrough was the boys and the girls tennis coach for the 2015-16 seasons. Following the end of the 2016 boys season, she stepped

down for family reasons. "I wasn't going to come back to coaching," she said. Troy Romero coached the girls for the fall 2016 season, but the boys coaching spot hadn't been filled by the start of 2017. "There was a vacancy by the time the season had approached," Darrough said. Darrough agreed to return as the boys coach. Four of last year's varsity players are also returning. "We have some pretty strong players," Darrough said. One of those players is current junior Brandan Ruland, who won last year's Valley

League singles championship. "He's stronger. He's taller. He's hitting very well," Darrough said. Cody Crenshaw, Mike Mazzola, and Chris Murguia are the other returning varsity players. "I think we're going to be a little bit more experienced than last year," Darrough said. Due to Darrough's late start, the total player turnout is lower than in 2016. While normally 18 to 20 players are on the varsity and junior varsity rosters, Darrough will be counting on 13 or 14 players unless latecomers join the team. "I'd like to see some more JV players," she

said. Last year Fallbrook and Valley Center shared the Valley League championship and Ramona finished third. All three teams return to the Valley League while Orange Glen has departed the Valley League along with Mission Vista and Oceanside, which do not have boys tennis, and the new Valley League members are Escondido and San Pasqual. "I don't know if that's necessarily going to be a good or a bad thing for us," Darrough said. The Bulldogs have a non-league match Thursday at Mission Hills High School and play at El Camino Friday.

‘Against the Grain’ release kicks off 75th anniversary Book tells story of youth club’s beginnings The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego, which operates its Ramona branch in Collier Park, kicked off its 75th anniversary celebration with a book release event and the premiere of its new website at SDYouth75.org. Author Marilyn Campbell, alumni featured in the book, current club members, and current club staff and board members attended the event held Feb. 20. “Against The Grain” tells the story of the need San Diego had for a club, the herculean efforts to establish it in the 1940s, and the difference the club has made in thousands of lives for 75 years. Seventy-five years ago, a determined group established the Boys Club of San Diego, providing disadvantaged boys of diverse ethnicities a place to call their own and the guidance and support to become some of the greatest athletes and leaders San Diego has ever produced. “We have been changing lives for 75 years and it all began right here,” club President Danny Sherlock said in the William J. Oakes Branch in Logan Heights. A.C. Mills, Oakes Branch Alumni Association president, shared his thoughts about the book and what it meant to be a club member. “We have a great thing happening here at the club,” said Mills. “The same things that were important back in the day to help kids be better people and to prepare them for their future are still relevant today. We have to keep the club going on.” Current club youth Isaac Guerrero thanked the alumni and the organization for keeping it going, saying he looks forward to being back for the club’s 100th anniversary. The book is available to download and read in a PDF format at www.sdyouth75.org/history. The Ramona Branch of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego at 622 E St. offers after-school programs that contain activities in five core focus areas: Character and Leadership Development; Education and Career Development; Health and Life Skills; Sports, Fitness and Recreation; and The Arts. It offers Power Hour homework assistance, arts and crafts, sports, indoor and outdoor games and tournaments, small group clubs, computer activities, special events and parties for children and teens from 5 to 18 years old. For more information about the Ramona club, visit the clubhouse or call 7760-788-7564.

FROM TRAIL, A6 the list primarily because he is such a big help getting the decorations up higher in the tree at Christmas time. Being on the short side myself I guess you might say I literally look up to this man. • Awesome lady is very special as she is as fast a hiker as anyone we ever see on the trail. Her lean and long-legged body glides up or down the mountain with no resistance and easily her time is tough to beat. She smiles politely and says hello as she briskly flies by me as though I were standing still. No I am not jealous and I would tell her, too, if I could catch her. • High heel lady takes the cake. Dressed in her best business suit (skirt & jacket) with matching high heel shoes she passes us going downhill just below the top as we were completing the uphill portion. Now I am not the brightest lamp in the room but I calculated that if no vehicles had come up this very private road and no helicopters dropped in anybody up top, she must have walked up the hill in her high heels and business suit -- and now was returning with her work associate much more comfortably dressed in his slacks, loafers, shirt and tie.

Kailey Hill accepts a California Interscholastic Federation patch from former Ramona High School Principal Chris King in 2014.

Salute to Champions honors Kailey Hill BY JOE NAIMAN Kailey Hill was among the athletes honored at the Salute to the Champions banquet Feb. 21 at the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego. The San Diego Hall of Champions’ annual banquet honors the previous year’s professional, amateur, and high school stars of the month as well as stars of the year and inductees into the Breitbard Hall of Fame. “It was a very awesome ceremony,” Hill said. Hill, who graduated from Ramona High School in 2014 and plays softball for the University of San Diego, was recognized for her March 2016 Amateur Star of the Month award. “Just to be honored and to be invited to the event was really awesome and a huge accomplishment,” Hill said. Hill was a USD sophomore in 2016, and that March her 20 hits in 64 at-bats gave her a .323 batting average. Six of

• Raytheon man got his name because he shared with us where he works. The reason he made the list is because almost daily he walks carrying a 50-pound pack up the hill. He is of similar stature as well as close to the same age as me. It is a tough haul regardless and his commitment to this monumental task doesn’t go unnoticed. • Mighty mite is actually the younger brother of a good friend of mine who I will share about next. He is nothing short of spectacular. He hikes, he runs, and he bikes the trail. The spectacular part is all in one continuous and repeated effort. It is mildly embarrassing to be passed by the same person multiple times in the same hike. • Harem man, the brother of Mighty mite and a friend of mine from high school almost 50 years ago, hikes Monday through Friday almost without exception. Now we all have different motivators to keep us going but his may by far be the best. Most every morning he is accompanied by 3 to 5 very attractive Ramona ladies and together they quite hastily work their way up and back on the Mt. Woodson trail. My wife reminds me I am not jealous of this either. Not wanting to bore you with dozens of bullets I will quickly summarize others who

those hits were doubles, and she had a slugging percentage of .453 and an on-base percentage of .371. Hill’s 13 runs batted in during March 2016 shared the team lead for the month. “I had a really good month,” Hill said. Five of those games were during the March 18-20 San Diego Classic tournament at the Sportsplex complex in Santee. “I just had a really good weekend,” Hill said. Hill was also making the transition from outfield to first base in 2016. One of the other USD outfielders, Olivia Sandusky, was a February 2016 Amateur Star of the Month. Sandusky was also at the banquet, as were USD athletes from other sports. “That was real cool,” Hill said. The stars of the month do not give speeches, but the Breitbard Hall of Fame inductees, the stars of the year, and the

have made an impact on us: Cal Fire firefighters as well as their inmate crews hiking for physical training, yard duty lady for many years from the high school a daily hiker, pool store lady from south end of town, our most tenured Ramona chiropractor, my nurse from a recent surgery, and the lady who owns the only house near the bottom along the trail are all regulars. I stated earlier that some experiences are amusing and some are not. We have had three much too close encounters with rattlesnakes and numerous other sightings of snakes throughout the years. Just last week a coyote burst across the path right in front of us. I have seen many minor injuries and a couple of more serious injuries requiring assistance from medically trained personnel. All in all you never know what you might see as you hike Mt. Woodson trail. From the Ramona side, runners and reasonably swift joggers can get to the top in about 20 to 25 minutes. Awesome lady and other hikers like her will make it to the top in less than 30 minutes. The upper tier of experienced hikers will be in the 30- to 35-minute range, and my partner and I are good for 35 to 40 minutes depending on the day.

special award recipients respond to their awards with comments. “The speeches at the event were really good,” Hill said. “They were really inspirational.” Hill was one of six March 2016 Amateur Star of the Month recipients. A selection committee at the Hall of Champions studies statistics and achievements. In addition to collecting statistics Hall of Champions staff members talk with coaches, and athletic directors in the case of high school athletes, to obtain recommendations. The awards committee reviews the lists of recommendations to select the stars of the month. The Star of the Month recognition was the second for Hill, who received an Amateur Star of the Month award for her April 2015 success on the diamond during her collegiate freshman year. “I think it was just as special as the first,” Hill said of her recent award.

Novice hikers in good shape, 40 to 45 to the top, and those brand new to hiking and relatively out of shape can be anywhere from 45 minutes to well over an hour to the top. Coming down is less difficult, something to do with gravity I suspect. All make it down anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes except, of course, for the speedsters or more affectionately known as over-achievers. I thoroughly enjoy my experience on this mountain. It has helped to keep me in pretty good shape for a man my age. I have met, even if extremely informally, many great and interesting people. I am sure they have a name for me as well, maybe Short old guy or Guy with Push-up girl, but regardless I consider many of them friends. Just today a group of over 30 people of Asian descent, speaking mostly in their native tongue, ranging in age from 15 to 80 years old, gathered together to conquer this mountain. I couldn’t help but think what brochure did they see on the other side of the world that motivated them to see “Potato Chip” rock? I can only hope it met their expectations. Mt. Woodson trail has certainly been a huge blessing in my life! Hal Mortier is a Ramona resident.

JACINTA,

a 9-year-old Boxer/American Staffordshire Terrier mix, has had a hard life and is now ready to be pampered and loved in her golden years. She loves to spend quality time with her humans getting gentle pets and giving kisses. She enjoys leisurely strolls and long naps on the couch or in the warm sun. Jacinta still enjoys chasing squirrels and rabbits, so she should no go home with any cats, but may do well with another dog with similar temperament to keep her company. Jacinta is a sweet, human-focused pup who can’t wait to be spoiled and loved in her new home. Jacinta is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 East Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

n today's socioeconomic and political strife, I feel it's necessary for us to fall back to the basics. One man put it best in what he called his "Two Sets of Three." Standing only 5'10" he was the first man to be named basketball All-American three times. At a smaller stature in his sport he demanded attention not by size but by work ethic and character. This man coached UCLA to 10 NCAA basketball titles over 12 years, including a seven consecutive year title run and a season record, 88 straight game winning streak. The records go on and on. He was also the only man at the time to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame both as a player and a coach. John Wooden was not only an incredible player, coach, and athlete, but he was an even better person. I feel this is due to him practicing what he preached. I've used many of his principles to raise my children, coach my clients, and manage my team at Ramona Fitness Center. Coach Wooden has numerous principles and systems that are so simple, yet so effective. My favorite is his "Two Sets of Three." The first set deals with character and the second set deals with attitude. The first goes as such, never lie, never cheat, never steal. The second set, never whine, never complain, never make excuses. If we would fall back on these principles in politics, in fitness, in our jobs, and in our personal lives we wouldn't just get by, but we would live lives that, unfortunately by today's standards, would be hall of fame standards. Of course we all know that we shouldn't lie, cheat, or steal, but whining, complaining, and making excuses tend to be the norm and acceptable, especially by our younger population and even encouraged by their parents. Knock it off and start taking action, moving forward, and making a difference, not being a "victim" of your circumstances. Parents who encourage their children to whine, complain, and make excuses are not doing their kids any favors. Let's take heed and listen to Coach Wooden, and NEVER LIE, NEVER CHEAT, NEVER STEAL, AND NEVER WHINE, COMPLAIN, OR MAKE EXCUSES! A Ramona resident, Peter San Nicolas owns Ramona Fitness Center.

FROM THREAT, A1 the utmost seriousness. We are invested in our community and the safety of our schools and our children are the top priority.” Attendance was down 50 percent as a result of this student originated fabrication, noted Staffieri. “I have been on the campus most of today and report that the campus has been safe and quiet and we have had additional supports in place as a precautionary measure,” she said. As a result of the student’s report, Principal Rowena Mak, Ed.D., sent a message to students' families Thursday that said administrators and security officials were aware of the alleged threat and had followed protocols to assess the situation. Ramona High School classes will go on as usual, she said in her message. The sheriff’s Ramona station had a deputy on campus Friday and other deputies would patrol throughout the day, Lt. Jerry Hartman at the Ramona station said Friday morning. Law enforcement increased its presence in the morning and planned to do so during the lunch period and at the end of the school day, he said. The only disruption at the school was a fire alarm that went off midday. It was a false alarm.

Four Ramona Girl Scouts earn Silver Award for garden project Ramona Girl Scouts Daniela Romero, Emma Van Zandt, Jade Shaw, and Janée Doomey will be recognized by Girl Scouts of San Diego and receive their Silver Award pins and certificates in a council-wide ceremony in June. Members of Girl Scout Troop No. 8009, the four Scouts completed all requirements to earn Girl Scouts’ top achievement for Cadettes, the Girl Scout Silver Award. This award gives girls the chance to practice their leadership skills and make their community better in the process. For their service project, the Scouts improved the vegetable garden at the Little People’s Learning Center by addressing concerns, upgrading planters, and putting tools in place that will allow the preschool children to assist in the planting and harvesting. More than physical labor, this project included fundraising, project management, and design research. The Cadettes exercised their leadership skills in developing a donation letter that they presented to community businesses asking for support. Once they acquired the supplies they needed, the Scouts spent several weekends working in the garden. For several months the Scouts weeded the garden, removed old wood planters, and installed new galvanized steel planters complete with new fertilized soil. Then they repaired and painted the wood fence, installed metal poles for a future shade structure, and installed protective planter caging and privacy lattice to shield the garden plants from rodents. Finally they installed tool organizers, placed bins complete with stone garden markers, and posted planting guides in the garden shed. Throughout the process they worked

Danielle Shaw, Troop 8009 leader. To complete a project of this scale, the Scouts received support from many individuals and businesses.

FROM CRIME, A1 "Most petty criminals are creatures of habit," said Hartman. Compliance checks are conducted on people who are on probation or parole. Property was recovered from one resident who was tied to three commercial-type burglaries. Such burglaries include thefts from a business shed in an alleyway and from a church. According to the sheriff's department, some individuals are being arrested every three or four months. "Reduced sentences have an impact on repeat offenders," Hartman said. Those reduced sentences come from state laws adopted over the past six years. Because of Proposition 47, approved by voters in 2014, thefts of $950 or less are considered misdemeanors and the offenders do not serve prison time but instead may see a short stint in jail. AB 109, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2011, was aimed at reducing the prison population by realigning certain felony offenders to county jails. As a result, a person violating parole could get a flash incarceration — up to 10 days in jail — versus 45 days to a year in prison, said Hartman.

Officials with the sheriff’s Ramona station and the Sheriff's Analysis Driven Law Enforcement (SADLE) team respond to the arrest of a parolee who was bitten by a sheriff’s canine when he tried to flee from a house on D Street last December. The man was also wanted by the San Diego Police Department in connection with a robbery case, according to reports. "Most people on parole — that's nothing to them," he said. Although SADLE has moved on to another area in the county, Hartman said his deputies are still maintaining a visible presence in the community and have been

successful with arrests in some remaining cases. "When we go after the right people we start closing some of the cases out," said the lieutenant. The Ramona station has also seen an

increase in mental health calls, so much so that the Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT) will begin providing a clinician in Ramona twice a week at the end of March, said Hartman. Ramona will be sharing the clinician with Poway, he said. PERT works in partnership with county Health and Human Services and the sheriff's department. Hartman said there are a lot of people with psychiatric issues, many due to increased drug usage. Because Proposition 47 decriminalized many drug-related cases to misdemeanors, drug use is back up, he said, and for some that use has caused drug-induced psychotic episodes. Most calls the sheriff's station receive are at residences and in some cases are repeated calls. The calls can lead to violent confrontations with law enforcement, said Hartman. In a typical scenario, the individual is transported to county Mental Health Services for an evaluation, then released, and there is no follow-up care, he said. A PERT clinician will help get the care the person may need, provide follow-up, and hopefully prevent future calls, said the lieutenant. At some point, he said, the increased drug use will affect the crime rate. Hartman said heroin use is up in Ramona and in Poway, and overdoses from pharmaceuticals are on the rise.

SHERIFF’S REPORTS Victim locates hit-and-run driver ‘Minor Decoy Operation’ An accident victim was credited by law enforcement for locating a pickup truck in Ramona that caused a five-vehicle collision on state Route 67 last week and then left the scene, reported authorities. Around 5:40 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22, a Ford F-250 plowed into the rear of one vehicle on SR-67 just west of Cloudy Moon Drive, pushing it into another vehicle, causing a chain reaction, and then the driver made a U-turn and headed back to Ramona, said Sgt. David Cheever with the sheriff's Poway station. The collision occurred just inside Poway's jurisdiction. The accident caused traffic backups for commuters as two or three vehicles had to be towed, but no one was hurt, he said. All involved were Ramona residents. One of the victims checked repair shops in Ramona, found the truck, and contacted the Poway station, said Cheever. Law enforcement officials were able to contact the owner, a 26-year-old man, who told authorities the roadway was wet, it was foggy and visibility was low, and traffic was stop-and-go, said Cheever. The driver had insurance and, because there were no witnesses who could identify the driver in court, was issued a traffic citation, said the sergeant.

targets area wineries

A Minor Decoy Operation conducted by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) targeted wineries in the Ramona and Julian areas to test if minors were served alcohol. The two agencies had five minor decoys who tested 13 wineries, attempting to purchase alcoholic beverages inside their establishments, according to Sgt. Karla Menzies with the sheriff’s department. Of the 13, three wineries had an employee serve alcohol to a decoy, she said.

FORUS meets the second and fourth Wednesday of each month in Room A3 at Olive Peirce Middle School, 1521 Hanson Lane. The public is welcome. FROM RAINS, A2 flooded in high water near Keyser Road and Creelman Lane. Two occupants were able to get out of the vehicle but had to wait until the water receded before a tow truck could remove it, according to the CHP. Around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, the CHP website reported that two boulders had slid onto state Route 78 just west of Indian Oaks Drive and Horizon View, completely blocking the eastbound lane and forcing one-way

traffic control until they could be removed. Many residents living in the area of Kelly and Raymond avenues and Hunter Street where backyards were flooded had to plow through water to get to and from their homes.

Those wineries were La Finquita Winery & Vineyard and Milagro Farm Winery in Ramona, and Menghini Winery in Julian, according to the report. As a result, each of those wineries will receive education from ABC and the sheriff’s department and deal with the ABC’s handling of its administrative case, and each employee who served received a citation, said the sergeant. Menzies said the operation was done to check that wineries were in compliance. A similar program was conducted a few years ago on area breweries. In July 2016 the sheriff’s department received a $100,000 ABC grant and is using the funds to help fight alcohol-related crimes and educate ABC-licensed businesses. ABC-related operations such as Minor Decoy help reduce alcohol abuse and youth access to alcohol and will continue through June 2017, reported the sheriff’s department. Menzies also reported that during the operation in Ramona and Julian, one person was arrested for an outstanding felony warrant and another for possession of narcotics. Among reports at the sheriff’s Ramona station: Sunday, Feb. 26 • Female, 20, arrested, shoplifting $78 worth of household goods from Kmart, 1800 block Main Street.
