County Supervisors to address issue March 16 BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Community Planning Group is sending a letter to county supervisors asking for a ban on medical marijuana collectives or modifications to the county’s ordinance regulating such facilities, and is encouraging residents to attend the supervisors’ March 16 meeting when the issue is slated to be on the board agenda. The county’s options on how to deal with medical marijuana collectives could include a moratorium. The supervisors’ March 16 meeting will start at 9 a.m. in Room 310 of the San Diego County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego. The agenda for the meeting may be viewed at www.sandiegocounty.gov/ content/sdc/cob/bosa.html. County Supervisor Dianne Jacob supported residents’ concerns about several dispensaries planned for Ramona when she held her Feb. 24 Coffee with Constituents, and said she will need the community’s help to convince the other supervisors to back some kind of change. One dispensary has opened at 736 Montecito Way in Ramona. Operating certificates are pending for dispensaries at 618 Pine St. and 1210 Olive St. A building permit application has been submitted for 2471 Montecito Road and a group has been eyeing property at 2338 Montecito Road for medical marijuana cultivation. “I just don’t want Ramona to be the magnet,” said planning group chair Jim Piva at the group’s SEE MEDICAL POT, A8

BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON For the 14th consecutive year, enrollment in Ramona Unified schools will drop, projections for 2016-17 show. But, Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services David Ostermann said, the degree of decline may be slowing. This year’s projected decline of 92 students is 40 fewer than last year’s, and there are two Early Start Kindergarten classes this year compared to one class in past years, he said. Also, most of the projected decline is at the secondary level, an indication that what he refers to as the “big (enrollment decline) bubble” is working its way through the grades. His report projects a drop of 20 in elementary schools — most at Barnett and James Dukes — and 72 at the secondary level, with the majority — 47 — at Olive Peirce Middle School. This year’s enrollment is 5,586. At its peak in the 2001-02 school year, enrollment in the district was 7,271. “If our enrollment projection comes in perfectly, we would have a drop of 1,777 students over that time period,” said Ostermann. Enrollment is key to district finances, since it determines the majority of the money the district receives, Ostermann said during the school board’s Feb. 25 meeting. The district also sets staffing levels based on enrollment. Trustee Bob Stoody asked if the projection report considered the 45-unit townhome project that recently opened. No, but “that might be another bright spot,” responded Ostermann.
School trustees each February receive enrollment projections. The district will re-evaluate the projections in the spring and summer, but it won’t know for sure until the start of the next school year, noted Ostermann.
Among other business at the meeting:
■ Ramona Chamber of Commerce Joe Stupar introduced himself to the board and said the chamber is interested in partnering with the schools on student internship opportunities and possibly developing business workshops for the students. He wrote to the schools and already received a reply from Montecito High School Principal Dave Lohman, he said. The chamber gave $6,000 in scholarships to Ramona students last year and plans to give $7,000 this year, and some business leaders are talking about perhaps having a junior business fair, he added. ■ Trustees heard a progress report on the district’s Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) from Assistant Superintendent of Education Services Theresa Grace. Community forums at each school started Feb. 29 and will continue through March 21. The goal is to receive input from staff, parents, students and the community, noted Grace. Three elements of the plan are stakeholder engagement, goals and progress indicators, and actions, services and expenditures, she said. “Once we gather information from our
community members, our students and our staff members, we bring all of our recommendations and suggestions back to our district stakeholder committee,” she continued. The committee’s purpose is to “dig into the data, look at how we’re doing, measure our progress and get feedback from a group of people who are invested in the work we’re doing,” said Grace. About 60 people are on the committee, “half parents and community members and half staff members,” she said. The district’s current LCAP goals blend with the core values the board established and with the state’s eight priorities, said Grace. Responding to trustee John Rajcic’s concern that the school board seems to get involved toward the end of the process, Grace said that is why she started in February. Included in her report was a timeline that ends with a public hearing on June 16 and a board vote by June 25. “You’ll have the opportunity to provide input at each of the meetings, and I’ll be giving you the same information that we’re sharing with stakeholders, so you have the same information to base your recommendations on,” she said. The LCAP describes how school districts intend to meet annual goals for all students, with specific activities to address state and local priorities, the California Department of Education states on its website. It is a three-year plan that is updated each year, “so we’re always looking at where we were, where we are, and where we want to get to next,” said Grace.

Bob Verhoest: Classified Employee of the Year Bob Verhoest “bleeds Bulldog Blue,” Ramona Unified Superintendent Robert Graeff said before a roomful of district employees in the Ramona High School Administration Office. Graeff and Tony Newman, assistant superintendent of human resources for the district, arrived at the school last Thursday morning with balloons, a $50 gift certificate, and a certificate proclaiming Verhoest 2016 Classified Employee of the Year. Noting that the Ramona High campus supervisor and security guard also paints classrooms as needed, Graeff handed him a new paintbrush. Verhoest, a Ramona High employee for 20 years, started with the district as the school’s track coach, serving as head coach when the team won the CIF championship. Retired U.S. Navy Chief Rob Richardson, naval science instructor and one of two teachers nominating him for the honor, called Verhoest the face of Ramona High. “Bob is the backbone of the security team here,” wrote Richardson. “...He knows the pulse of the school and can anticipate issues in advance. He is the first one on campus in the morning and is usually the last to leave, ensuring the campus is locked up after the last sporting event of the day.” Teacher and Associated Student Body adviser Mona Snodgrass, who also nominated Verhoest, quoted one student as saying, “He is
the heart of this school.” He is the epitome of Bulldog spirit and serves the school with “no less than 110 percent effort,” she wrote. “He not only completes the assignments for his position with pride, but he takes care of all students, staff, faculty and anyone else who visits our campus,” said Snodgrass, who also coordinates the Bulldog Connect after-school program. “... I don’t believe that there is another person on this campus that the students trust more than Bob Verhoest.” A person who can be relied on to solve problems “well outside his scope of employment, from mentoring students to substituting for teachers,” Verhoest is the most reliable person on campus, said Richardson. He chaperones students at away sporting events, school dances, prom, and ASB and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps functions, added Richardson. Commending Verhoest for his leadership and commitment, Richardson said, “There is no other individual more committed to ensuring a positive image is portrayed at RHS.” Students say he brightens their day, inspires them and has a sense of humor that makes them look forward to coming to school, said Snodgrass. He understands the role of an educational institution and the importance of relationships, she added. “He dedicates his time and effort into making every student and adult on this campus feel connected,” she said. A consistently positive attitude and never-ending faith in the potential of Ramona High School and its students are among other

People have told him that, if he was cut, he’d bleed Bulldog Blue. “That’s probably true,” said Verhoest, adding that he loves the school and hopes he never graduates from it. For him, every day is different and whatever needs to be done becomes his job. “When I was hired for this position, the administration gave me some keys and told
me I was to watch over the campus,” he said. “They trusted me to know what I would need to do. So that’s what I do — watch over the kids, the staff and the grounds.” At a future school board meeting, Verhoest will receive a $1,000 stipend for being selected 2016 Classified Employee of the Year. Trustees last year approved $1,000 stipends for the annual classified employee and teacher of the year. As district employee of the year, Verhoest enters countywide competition for the San Diego County Classified Employee of the Year. —Maureen Robertson

GUEST COMMENTARY
How many collectives does Ramona need? Editor’s note: This was sent to Ron Roberts, San Diego County Board of Supervisors chair, regarding medical marijuana facilities in Ramona and San Diego County.
BY JIM PIVA The Ramona Community Planning Group is hereby making a formal request to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to ban or further modify the existing ordinances as they relate to "Medical Marijuana Collective Facilities." It is this group's intent to protect the citizens, children and residents within our communities while balancing the needs of those persons having legitimate health problems, problems to which they’ve chosen to use medical marijuana. The rural communities of San Diego and specifically, the community of Ramona, afford a quality of life that the citizens in this county desire. Many desire less populated communities, wide open spaces, farming, agriculture, equestrian opportunities, and there is a growing wine industry. It is, however, the wide open spaces that allow our community to be viewed as a dumping ground where often times the “justification is tweaked to fit the need.” The community of Ramona does not need several marijuana collective facilities. There is no justification for them and we should not try to misrepresent that fact in any manner. A recent poll suggests that in California there are approximately 15 legitimate medical marijuana patients per 1,000 residents. At a conservative number of approximately 40,000 residents between Ramona and the San Diego Country Estates, approximately 600 persons would potentially have a legitimate need for medical marijuana. Records reviewed during administrative inspections conducted on local collectives repeatedly show that a single collective can service well over this number. Additionally, current downloadable applications on your personal cellular telephone make delivery of “medicinal marijuana” readily available. Legally speaking, a legal patient could then have “medicinal marijuana” delivered from any collective to which they are a member. It is well-known fact, and as documented within past legislative findings, there are serious adverse effects associated with medical marijuana collectives, aka dispensaries. Communities across the nation have reported an increase in crime, to include burglaries, robberies, drugged driving, and, most disturbing, an increase in the illicit diversion of "legal marijuana" to minors. In the most recent 2015 report published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, it was found that after alcohol, marijuana is the drug most often linked to drugged driving. In a 2013-14 National Roadside Survey, 12.6 percent of drivers on weekend nights tested positive for THC (marijuana). This was significantly higher than the 8.6 percent who tested positive in 2007. In 2010 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration concluded a 10-year study of fatal vehicle crashes. Gathering data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, administrators assessed the trend of the prevalence of non-alcohol drugs detected in fatally injured drivers. In six different states — California, Hawaii, Illinois, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and West Virginia — 23,500 drivers, who were dead within one hour of a car accident, were examined. The findings revealed alcohol contributed to about the same percentage of traffic fatalities throughout the decade, roughly at 40 percent. However, drugs were seen to play an increasingly prevalent role in fatal car crashes, accounting for more than 28 percent of deaths in 2010, compared to 16 percent in 1999. The biggest drug culprit was found to be marijuana, jumping from 4 percent in 1999 to 12 percent in 2010, or triple the amount. In a report published January 2016 by the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), a National Drug Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) showed significant increases in the recreational use of marijuana by minors. In 2013 Colorado legalized marijuana and in 2014 retail sales began. The effect, a 20% increase in marijuana use by minors 12-17 years in age. This was higher than the national average. With the large majority of non-legalized marijuana states averaging 6%, legal states average 8% with California averaging 9%. The important question that needs to be answered is, how many SEE MARIJUANA, A6
OUR READERS WRITE In defense of Hunter and Trump I usually don’t get into editorial skirmishes anymore. Politics are a risky business to comment on, but for the defense of Duncan D. Hunter and Donald J. Trump, I will risk it. Last week’s “Letters to the editor” contained one letter that condemned the judgment of Duncan D. Hunter’s endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, the one who so far is way ahead of the pack. When I first heard and read about this endorsement from Duncan D. Hunter, I applauded! To me it showed that Duncan D. is not afraid of the “elite Republican establishment.” Hurray for him! The Hunters realize that Trump is also not afraid of “political correctness” and is standing for the problems in America that are a threat to our sovereignty and monetary demise. He is the only candidate who has the guts to say, “our trade deficit is killing us” and also the one determined to get that wall built! Since the ’80s we have slowly been flooded with “China Made” products until it is almost a crime. Our businesses are mostly overseas and we now exist only because we are subsidized by China. Our country is in real monetary trouble! Duncan D. Hunter and father Duncan Hunter have been the only “voice in the wilderness,” saying our country needs a wall, and now that we have an enemy that waits to destroy us, extreme Islamic terrorists, we need a wall and increased immigration safeguards. So I will close this dissertation, hoping I have not been too “unpolitically correct” to offend you all. May we continue to be “One Nation Under God.” Marlene Robershaw Ramona
End failed policies of marijuana prohibition Ramona's first legal medical marijuana dispensary has opened providing safe, convenient access to medical marijuana patients who previously would have had to drive nearly an hour in traffic to the nearest licensed dispensary in El Cajon. This is an unreasonable burden for the sickest of patients who depend on medical marijuana for their health. Folks like Jim Piva, chairman of the Ramona Community Planning Group, who are concerned about unintended consequences act like medical marijuana hasn't been legal in California for nearly 20 years and in that time there has not been any significant increase in the number of accidents caused by marijuana intoxication. Meanwhile, alcohol-impaired driving fatalities have increased. It's time our elected officials focused on real problems and end the failed policies of marijuana prohibition in favor of regulations and permitting requirements. Tyler Strause Ramona

FROM MARIJUANA, A4 dispensaries do we need to serve these 600 potential patients in the community of Ramona? The current ordinance and county certification process is specific in outlining the requirements for establishing a collective, however, it does not address the potential impact on the community. Furthermore, barring administrative inspections where collectives are given seven days' notice to prepare, there is no comprehensive plan that addresses the well-documented problems associated with these facilities. While the San Diego Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol provide a high-quality of public safety services, resources for county areas are limited, particularly in rural communities. Taking the attitude of “they will get it anyway” while making marijuana readily available will continue fueling the increase drugged driving trends while further legitimizing the use of “medicinal marijuana” for everyone. To further address associated problems and issues still surrounding the legality of the collectives, we must look at the "Cole Memorandum" dated Aug. 29, 2013. As states moved forward with the State Legalization of Marijuana, the Deputy Attorney General, James M. Cole, drafted a memorandum to provide guidance to federal prosecutors and enforcement agencies. In summary the memorandum addresses the priorities of federal enforcement as it relates to: marijuana sales to minors, revenue of marijuana sales being filtered into criminal organizations, medical marijuana sales being used as a guise to conceal other criminal activities, driving while impaired by use of marijuana, and all violent crimes associated to S T A T E
O F
T H E
marijuana cultivation, distribution, transportation and use. Traditionally, agents working for the federal government have been able to investigate and enforce serious laws relating to the above activities while local law enforcement agencies have focused on less serious violations that directly impact the communities. However, as stated in paragraph 5 of this memorandum, “The enactment of state laws that endeavor to authorize marijuana production, distribution, and possession by establishing a regulatory scheme for these purposes affects this traditional joint federal/state approach to narcotics enforcement.” "The department guidance in this memorandum rests on its expectation that states and local governments that have enacted laws authorizing marijuana related-conduct, will implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that will address the threat those state laws could pose to public safety, public health and other law enforcement interests. A system adequate to that task must not only contain robust controls and procedures on paper; it must also be effective in practice.” "These robust laws should include measures to prevent diversion of marijuana outside of the regulated system and to other states, prohibiting access to marijuana by minors, and replacing an illicit marijuana trade that funds criminal enterprises with a tightly regulated market in which revenues are tracked and accounted for. In those circumstances, consistent with the traditional allocation of federal/state efforts in this area, enforcement of state law by state and local enforcement and regulatory bodies should remain the primary means of addressing marijuana-related activity. If state enforcement efforts are not sufficiently robust to protect against the harms set forth above, the federal A R T
government may seek to challenge the regulatory structure itself in addition to continuing to bring individual enforcement actions, including criminal prosecutions, focused on those harms.” This group recognizes that the County of San Diego has set forth extensive requirements pertaining to infrastructure and operating requirements for collectives wishing to obtain an operating certificate. However, the question remains, can the requirements be effective in practice and how will requirements pertaining to infrastructure and operations address the well documented associated problems that come with each collective? To date approximately 148 other cities and counties in California have recognized the significant impacts to their communities and have initiated some type of "marijuana ban" within their communities. Currently, 84 additional cities and counties are in the process of following suit. A United States Supreme Court ruling dated May 6, 2013, City of Riverside Vs. Inland Empire Patient's Health and Wellness Center Inc., preserves our right as a county and community to enact a complete ban on collectives/dispensaries altogether, yet we the County of San Diego are continuing our push to justify rural areas of the county as areas to fit a minority need. According to the planning department, the County of San Diego has already mapped out six or seven (6 or 7) potential collective sites in Ramona. Within the county there are five (5) open applications to which building permits have been issued: three (3) in Ramona, one (1) in unincorporated El Cajon and one (1) in Valley Center. Additionally, four (4) building permit applications have been submitted and are in plan-check: two (2) for facilities located in
Lakeside, one (1) in Ramona and one (1) in Julian. So again we are back to the question, how many collectives/dispensaries do we need and at what cost to our communities? This group is proposing the following options and stringently urges the the Board of Supervisors to consider and act on our request. Option #1 — A complete ban on marijuana collectives within the county of San Diego. Option #2 — Modify the existing ordinance from 1,000 feet between Collective Facilities to "Fifteen (15) miles between Collective Facilities." Option #3 — Modify the current zoning ordinance to protect residential properties not only located within residential and agricultural zoning but those residential properties that exist within industrial zoning where residential use applies. Language such as: 1,000 feet from a parcel to which a residential use regulation applies. Option #4 — Add to the ordinance language that addresses the number of allowable marijuana collectives within a community; and that the number of allowable marijuana collectives be based on the population of the community with a potential “Legal Need” for medicinal marijuana as illustrated in paragraph 4 of this letter (i.e. 15 legitimate medical marijuana patients per 1,000 residents). In determining this allowable number, further consideration needs to be given to the number of “legal patients” that can be serviced by a single marijuana collective. Conservative numbers from current administrative inspections indicate a single collective may service between 2,000 and 5,000 “legal patients.” Let not the failed polices of this state be the failed policies that affect our communities.

County lauds Palomar Health for nutrition program San Diego County has commended Palomar Health for educating patients and residents on how to eat a more nutritious and varied plant-based diet to preserve and enhance their health. Programs such as Meatless Mondays have been implemented in all Palomar Health cafes to help teach visitors simple ways to make better dietary decisions. Palomar Health also participates in the Healthier Hospitals Initiative, a national campaign that encourages hospitals to improve the health of patients and staff by serving healthy, fresh and sustainable foods and beverages while reducing waste and energy use. Last year, the City of Escondido and The Humane Society of the United States recognized Palomar Health as a leader for its commitment to sustainability and success in plant-based menu planning as part of its wellness program. Research by the American Heart Association shows that a pro-vegetarian diet with a higher proportion of plant-based foods compared to animal-based foods may help lower the risks of dying from heart disease and stroke, according to the public hospital district. “At Palomar Health, we are part of a wave of health care leaders who are shaping a food system that supports prevention-based practices,” said Barbara Hamilton, Palomar Health sustainability manager. “I am excited that we have taken our programs to the next level by decreasing our overall meat consumption and increasing the consumption of sustainable, local and organic produce with our new plant-based menus. It’s an honor to be recognized for our hard work and dedication.” Approximately 33 percent of adults in San Diego County are overweight and 26 percent are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those who are obese are at increased risk of developing many chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis and various types of cancer. “When we buy local and regional fresh food and provide these options on the table or the patient’s tray, it’s not only a better nutritional value, but it tastes better, too,” said Jim Metzer, director of hospitality services at Palomar Health. “It’s one sustainable and flavorful way we can help support a healthier community.”

true colors of the board. Scott Brown is a longtime resident who enjoys and participates in activities of the community. His work background gives us the knowledge of the business world of the hotel and lodging industry. Our restaurant and lodge along with the golf course are the only amenities that bring in outside revenue. He is forward thinking and believes in honesty and straightforward discussions. If you see him at the club restaurant or the Par Lounge Grill, don’t hesitate to stop by and get his ideas. He also has children that enjoy all the things to do within our community. Eileen Castberg, where do I start? For her eight years on the board she has given her time, energy and ideas, which were instrumental in remodeling the Par Lounge and the Flag Pavilion amongst other things. She continually shows her love of our community by her endless efforts and has been denied the ability to continue volunteering her time at the club. For years she decorated the club for Christmas and all the holidays with other volunteers. You should have seen how beautiful it was. She was replaced by a committee, but unfortunately that committee didn’t follow through with all the holidays. Although Eileen and other volunteers were ready to step back in and decorate they were told No. So the Board decided no volunteers are allowed to decorate, staff must be responsible for decorating and if they are unable to do so outside vendors are to be hired? Does this make sense? Sharron Daniels Ramona

A total of 387 players ranging in age from 4 to 16 make up 31 teams this season, according to Schreiber. Most teams will hold practices at least twice a week and will play games two to three times a week, with at least one of those games falling on the weekend, she said.

According to the letter, county Planning and Development Services has mapped out six or seven potential sites for collectives in Ramona. Besides the building permits issued for Ramona, the county also issued a building permit for a collective in unincorporated El Cajon and one in Valley Center, and building permit applications have been submitted for two collectives in Lakeside and one in Julian, states the letter. The topic drew a few speakers. One of them was Sapphire Blackwood, who represents a group interested in the

Double Gold medals are reserved for the finest wines deemed worthy by a four-judge panel consisting of one writer, one winemaker, one professional sommelier and one wine marketer, said the award announcement from The Toast of the Coast. The competition also awarded gold and silver medals. “We were incredibly pleased with the outcome of the awards,” said Marilyn Kahle. “I’m proud of my husband for his winemaking skills.” “The grapes have been very good to us,” said Steve. The competition included wines from throughout the United States and Mexico.

The drug has helped patients dying of cancer, suffering from HIV/Aids, suffering of epilepsy, and veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder who use it instead of opiates, which in some cases have led to suicide, she said. “Medical marijuana has been proven to be a substitute to opiates and chronic pain,” said Blackwood. Jan Jensen, who lives on El Paso Street and has a nursing background, said, “I do believe there’s a place for medical marijuana.” But, she added, in her perfect world it should be dispensed by a pharmacy. “We don’t need to be the medical marijuana capital of San Diego County,” said Jensen. County ordinance currently requires collectives to be in industrial zones and 1,000 feet from another collective, playground, school, church, youth or recreation center, and residential zoning,

Helping the players along the way will be parents and grandparents who volunteer their time to help coach and manage the teams. “Whoever wants to volunteer their time is welcome,” said Hoeniger. Seventeen “awesome” people make up the league’s board of directors, said Schreiber. Major sponsors this season include Basile Construction and Nickel Creek Townhomes. Each company donated $1,500 as field sponsors. Dicks Sporting Goods gave $2,500 to help with uniform and equipment costs.
The planning group is offering four options to the county: • A complete ban on marijuana collectives in the county; • Modify the existing ordinance from 1,000 feet between collective facilities to 15 miles between; • Modify current zoning ordinance to protect residential properties not only located within residential and agricultural zoning, but those residential properties that exist within industrial zoning where residential use applies; and • Add to the ordinance language that addresses the number of allowable marijuana collectives be based on the population of the community with a potential “legal need” for medicinal marijuana. (A poll suggests that in California there are approximately 15 legitimate medical marijuana patients per 1,000 residents.) In determining this allowable number, further consideration needs to be given to the number of legal patients that can be serviced by a single collective. Conservative numbers from administrative inspections indicate a single collective may service between 2,000 to 5,000 legal patients. To view the entire letter, see Guest Commentary on page 4.

San Vicente Mortgage relocates on Main Street BY KAREN BRAINARD San Vicente Mortgage is heading to a new location on Main Street. The 10-year-old mortgage business, owned by broker Christie Carlson, will be moving from its offices at 2102 Main St. to 1179 Main St., in the building most recently occupied by Fashionably Late, which is now in the old town section of Ramona. “We saw that’s a great space,” said Carlson. “It’s really exciting. We’re going to be right on Main Street. We’re going to be very visible in a building everybody knows.” San Vicente Realty, also at 2102 Main, will be moving to the new location, too, but Carlson noted the two businesses are separate companies. Carlson hopes to be open in the new spot this week. Carlson, who has been in the mortgage business for 29 years, takes pride in her company’s services. Working with her is Jason DeLeo, a home loan independent contractor who has been in the business since 1999. “Being in a small town it’s very important that you’re customer service
orientated,” she said. “So we’re available on weekends, and it’s very important to me that people understand what they’re getting before they get into it. Doing someone’s home loan is actually very very personal. It’s one of the biggest things they’re ever going to do.” Carlson knows about small town life, having grown up in Fort Morgan, Colo., a community of about 8,000 that is 80 miles northeast of Denver. When she was 18 years old, Carlson said young people there weren’t really thinking about college. So, when she visited her grandparents in Poway, they suggested she stay with them and go to school in the San Diego area. “So I packed my car and moved to California,” she said. She worked as a secretary at Security Pacific Financial. When she wanted to move into management, Carlson was told she had to move to a branch, so in 1987 she did “and then I moved my way up.” Later she worked as an underwriter for another company, and then joined the CIT Group, where she worked her way up the ladder to regional credit

to do it, and ended up jumping in when the whole industry fell apart. “But I figured if I could make it through that time, I would be able to make it through forever,” she said. Carlson has no regrets about starting

her own mortgage company. “I love being self-employed,” said Carlson. “I like being a small mom and pop shop.” While she handles loans for clients throughout the state, a good portion of her business is local, she said. Right now, business is about 50/50 refinance and purchases, said Carlson. Among loan products offered are conventional, jumbo, VA (Veteran’s Administration), FHA (Federal Housing Authority) and USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture). “Rates are still incredibly low, historically low,” she said. Before moving to Ramona, Carlson was already familiar with the community as for many years she and her family had visited her uncle, Chuck Carlson, owner of Ransom Pump Supply, for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Since her move, other relatives have followed suit, and she has become involved in Ramona Rotary Club. “Best thing I ever did was move to California,” said Carlson. “I love the mortgage business, love working with people, love living in Ramona.”

County supervisors make fee deferral permanent for builders County News Center—San Diego County’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously last Wednesday to permanently let builders and businesses delay paying traffic, park, sewer and drainage fees until their projects are finished — to boost building and the local economy. Supervisors approved a two-year fee-deferral program in 2009 to give the local building industry, slowed dramatically by the Great Recession, a helping hand. Before the recession, builders and businesses had to pay those impact fees when they started building their projects. That created a debt they could not recover until the projects were finished and sold or occupied. The deferral program allows builders to voluntarily delay paying the fees if they want. The supervisors approved two-year extensions of the 2009 program in
2011, 2013 and December 2015 in the hope of helping builders start projects that they might otherwise put off because of costs by deferring upfront fees. In December, Supervisor Bill Horn recommended making the fee-deferral program permanent, the action the board approved Wednesday. “This is an important program for the local economy,” Horn said at the March 2 board meeting, “and its permanence will allow for the continued positive impact on the construction business.” The fee deferral applies to builders of residential tract developments and commercial projects and is a voluntary program. County Planning and Development Services staff reported that builders have been allowed to delay paying $5.66 million in fees since the program started in April 2009.
Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG
Twice-baked business cards
R
ecently I wandered into my doctor’s office for a check-up. The prognosis wasn’t serious — just a slight case of Creeping Collateral Crud. Though I hadn’t planned on making a house call, I’m sorry to report that his business cards looked sickly. At first glance everything seemed fine. Design, colors, logo all appeared healthy. However, the X-rays revealed the cards had been printed twice. And they looked it. Near as I could tell, the cards were finished, then someone examined them and realized the title Dr. was missing. Oops! To print something — anything — you strategize, conceive, write, and design. Everything’s fluid and can be changed, updated, massaged, revised, and tweaked ad infinitum. Then at some point you call it complete and print it. Now you’re committed. My dad (who grew up in
the printing business) says mistakes at this point guarantee you’re manufacturing instant garbage. So what’s a business owner to do? My medical friend had two options at this point: reprint these cards or print them again. Reprinting eliminated the need for more paper, making it the cheaper alternative, suggesting the doctor’s desire to rectify this error without another major investment. In short, he went down the path of least resistance. This man’s opinion — poor choice, because: The now-imprinted word Dr. was 2 points larger than the other words on his card; The title was printed bold, calling attention to the mistake; and The additional word threw off the centering of his name and title. Which means somewhere between the revision stage and the commitment stage, the man in charge didn’t proofread it — again! Sure he can blame his staff, designer, writer,
agency, or printer if it soothes his mind. However, it’s his business, his business card, his money — and his responsibility. Yes, I’m a pill. I know not being polished doesn’t necessarily chase away customers. However, this type of error indicates a lack of quality control. It all but screams “Is he cutting corners that might negatively impact the services I’m hiring him for?” Business cards remain important communications vehicles, and may be the only marketing tools potential customers ever see. If they reflect an unprofessional look, they reflect an unprofessional business. So, Dr. K, though you didn’t ask, I’d advise you to spring for the new cards and help your overall image. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Got marketing questions? Send ‘em to www.askmrmarketing.com.

County seeks feedback to update park lands ordinance
Supervisors release funds for Barnett playground BY KAREN BRAINARD In efforts to update the county’s Park Land Dedication Ordinance (PLDO), county Parks and Recreation Department is seeking feedback from the Ramona Community Planning Group. Marcus Lubich, who oversees PLDO at the county, told the planning group at its March 3 meeting that they are reaching out to community groups throughout the unincorporated areas for feedback and would like comments by May on what kind of projects they want. The county Board of Supervisors directed staff to update the park lands ordinance at its Dec. 16, 2015 meeting. The county’s park lands ordinance, adopted in 1973, came from the California Quimby Act of 1965, which allowed local jurisdictions to petition residential development projects for park land or park fees, said Lubich. Developments greater than 50 parcels must dedicate park land or park fees, and for less than 50 parcels only a park fee can be required. PLDO fees go to park projects with active recreation, such as playgrounds and sports fields, and cannot be used for passive recreation. Lubich noted that trails for the proposed Santa Maria Greenway would not qualify for PLDO funds.
KAREN BRAINARD
Ramona Community Planning Group chair Jim Piva, center, tells county staff that he’s tired of the county taking administrative fees out of the Ramona Park Land Dedication Ordinance funds account and wants the money to be used for projects benefiting the community. Seated next to him are planning group secretary Kristi Mansolf and vice chair Dan Scherer. Lubich said that among changes under consideration is to provide flexibility and a toolbox for developers — “a list of amenities that a developer could provide in the park that would be OK by the county.” The board also wants to promote inter-jurisdictional coordination, he said, by working with cities, water districts, and other agencies. While the 1973 ordinance requires three acres of active park per 1,000 residents, Lubich said the county general plan goal is to have 10 acres of local parks per 1,000 residents, and 15 acres of regional parks for
every 1,000 residents. Planning group chair Jim Piva expressed his gripe about maintenance fees charged by the county to oversee the PLDO account. “Every year a percentage of that money goes away,” said Piva, who has been pushing to see PLDO projects completed. When the county drags project approval, that leads to “less money for our kids,” he said. Lubich said it isn’t a maintenance fee, but an administrative fee and he would take the concern back to the parks department. Jim Cooper suggested Lubich attend the
planning group’s parks and recreation subcommittee meeting. The county Board of Supervisors on March 2 approved the release of $92,000 for one of the projects on Ramona’s PLDO priority list — playground improvements at Barnett Elementary School. The county and Ramona Unified School District, which owns the property, have a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for construction of the playground that will be available for public use when school is not in session, according to the county. Construction is expected to begin and be completed this spring. In other business: • Piva announced that in approximately 30 days construction on improvements to the state Route 67 and Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection is scheduled to start.“Relief is on the way,” he said. • The group agreed to move the paving of Creelman Lane as No. 9 on its “Projects important to the community that shall be developed by the county in the future,” list to No. 7, swapping it with Kelly Avenue improvements. Cooper said the priority does not matter; the county matches the projects up as money becomes available. Torry Brean voted no. • Planners unanimously approved Mountain View Community Church’s plans to revise two phases of its four-phased expansion. A new sanctuary, slated for phase 2, will be built in phase 3, and an education building in phase 3 will now be built in phase 2. The church will also construct a pathway on Ash Street.

Bulldogs lose in CIF semifinals Ramona High School boys basketball team lost to Bonita Vista in a heartbreaker on the home court last Tuesday. The 59-62 score in the CIF semifinals put Bonita Vista in line to play for the Division III championship at University of San Diego on Friday. The Bulldogs clinched the Valley League championship last month, the first time the boys team captured the title since 2001. They demolished Oceanside, 81-47, on Saturday, Feb. 27, a win that advanced them to the semifinals last Tuesday.

BY JOE NAIMAN Jeff Ramsthaler concluded his freshman wrestling season with a 2-2 record at the CIF state meet in Bakersfield Friday and Saturday. Ramsthaler, who qualified for the state meet by placing third in the 108-pound division at the CIF San Diego Section's all-division masters tournament Feb. 26-27 at Christian High School, began the state tournament with a match against Central Section champion Matthew Olguin of Buchanan High School. Olguin would eventually win the state championship. "His draw wasn't the best draw," coach Matt Holt said of Ramsthaler's first match. Olguin pinned Ramsthaler with 25 seconds remaining in the final regulation period. "That didn't go so well for Jeff," Holt said. "He came back and won two matches against some really tough guys." Millikan High School senior Matt Saldana, who placed seventh in the Southern Section tournament, was Ramsthaler's first losers' bracket opponent. Ramsthaler stayed alive in the double-elimination competition with a

10-5 victory. The third-place North Coast Section wrestler was junior Evan Santos of American High School. Ramsthaler pinned Santos 55 seconds into the second period. Ramsthaler was eliminated by Frontier High School freshman Cole Reyes, who placed fourth in the Central Section tournament. Reyes advanced with a 4-0 victory. "He needs to figure out how to win those kind of matches," Holt said. Ramsthaler was undefeated for the season before a loss in the finals of the CIF San Diego Section Division III tournament to Joey Meier of Brawley High School. In the masters tournament, Ramsthaler lost a 2-0 decision in the semifinal. Holt noted that in Ramsthaler's three decision losses he was behind in the first period and failed to make up the deficit. "It was good that we found that out now. I wish we could have figured that out a month ago," Holt said. "He figured out right away what he needs to do," Holt said. "The way that he handled the situation is something that will propel him to a much higher level."

Bulldog boys golf season Bulldog girls win track and field opener gets off to good start BY KAREN BRAINARD After its first two weeks of competition, Ramona High School’s boys varsity golf team was 4-1 on the season and coach Michael Gainey said they hope to continue the good play before the first league match on March 29 against Oceanside. Playing Vista at home at San Vicente Golf Resort March 3, the Bulldog golfers had a big win, 205-242. Serop Matoian and Thomas Andrews shared medalist honors, each with 39. David Hall shot 41; Doug Crawford, 46; Tyler Story, 50; and Jon Crawford a non-scoring 54. Only the top five scores are used for the team score. Although Ramona beat Steele Canyon at home Feb. 24, the Bulldogs lost to Steele Canyon 204-233 at Steele Canyon Golf Course on March 2. “Of the three nines at Steele Canyon, we played the side that most players don’t favor which is the Canyon Course,” said Gainey. “We had four players who were participating in their first match of the season which was also away.” Matoian had the Bulldog’s low score with a 40, followed by Keagen Fritz, 44; Cameron Marshall and Jon Crawford, each with 49; Doug Crawford, 51; and Tyler Story, 58. The week before, the Bulldogs played three non-league matches, the first just 10 days after tryouts began, getting off to a successful start. The Bulldogs opened the season Feb. 23
at home against Escondido Charter, playing the black tees on the par 36 front 9 at San Vicente, winning 209-243. Andrews had the team’s low score with a 39 and was followed by Justin Graf, 40; David Hall, 42; Marshall and Fritz, each with 44, and Andrew Mittman, 55. “The team was anxiously excited for our first match and their nerves might have prevented them from going lower than they did,” said Gainey after that match. “I’m very pleased with our 209 score and feel confident that we can get a lot of sub-200 scores as the season progresses. It is our goal to regain our Valley League Championship title from two seasons ago and send a solid team to CIF at the end of the season.” At the Feb. 24 home match against Steele Canyon, the Ramona golfers posted a 216-226 win with Andrews shooting 40; Graf, 41; Mittman, 43; Marshall, 45; Hall, 47, and Fritz, 49. When Ramona played San Pasqual Feb. 25 at The Vineyard at Escondido, Andrews and Marshall each shot 39 in their team’s 210-230 victory. Graf was right behind with a 40, while Fritz shot 44, Hall, 48, and Mittman, 57. The team will be participating in the City Cup Tournament March 14 at St. Mark Golf Club and March 17 at Woods Valley Golf Club, and plays San Pasqual March 15 at home.
BY JOE NAIMAN Track and field season began for Ramona High School with a dual meet at home against Rancho Buena Vista March 3. Ramona's girls defeated the Longhorns, 76-46, while the Longhorns took a 72-57 victory over the Bulldog boys. "It was a good first meet, a lot of good effort," said head coach Sherri Edwards. Qualifying for the CIF meet is based on performances at the league meet, so a non-league competition has no bearing on either league championships or CIF qualifying other than what lessons learned are applied later in the season. "This is like practicing," Edwards said. In the boys discus throw, Ramona senior Connor Anderson came within 3 inches of the school record while setting a personal record of 179'4". He won the discus throw and was the only Bulldog boy to win twice in the meet, as he threw the shot put 51-10. Oscar Reyes had the second-place shot put distance of 41-4, which gave the Bulldogs 8 points out of a possible 9 in that event. Ramona's girls swept the three scoring positions in two events while taking first and second in four other events. "We have more girls out than boys this year," Edwards said. Ramona began the season with 58 girls and 55 boys. The returning girls include senior Holly Stallman, who won two
events. Her time of 12.67 seconds in the 100-meter dash led a Ramona sweep also consisting of Jenni Rivera finishing in 13.37 seconds and Hannah Farhat taking 13.96 seconds. Stallman's winning time in the 200-meter dash was 27.39 seconds with Rivera placing second at 27.71 seconds. Stallman added a second-place distance of 15-10 in the long jump. Ramona's other sweep was in the 400-meter run. A time of 1:03.38 gave sophomore Rayna Valade her first varsity win in an individual event. "She's going to be phenomenal this year," Edwards said. Times of 1:05.32 by Tuesday Christopher and 1:07.16 by Sierra Crenshaw completed the 400-meter sweep. Christopher, Crenshaw, Ally Luna and Valade comprised Ramona's 4x400 relay team that won the race in 4:20.65. "Probably the most exciting race of the day was the 4x400," Edwards said. When Valade took the baton for the final lap she was about 30 meters behind her Rancho Buena Vista counterpart. "She just kind of hauled her down and she leaned her out," Edwards said. Emily Sojourner opened her senior season with victories in both hurdles races. She completed the 100-meter hurdles in 18.04 seconds and the 300-meter hurdles in

Luna and Christopher had the top two distances in the triple jump with Luna achieving a 30-8 mark and Christopher reaching 29-3. Chloe Knowd won the 3,200-meter run in 14:07.66 with Brittany Davidson taking second at 14:11.37. The other two girls distance races provided two other Bulldogs with their first varsity victories. Robyn Turner began her senior year with a time of 2:40.77 in the 800-meter race. Edwards placed freshman Cora Tunnell in the varsity 1,600-meter event and was rewarded by Tunnell's winning time of 6:08.80. Davidson added a third-place time of 6:16.35 in the 1,600-meter competition. Although Rancho Bueana Vista took the first-place points in the shot put, Karla Chairez gave Ramona second place with a throw of 30-1 and the high school debut of freshman Peyton White included a third-place distance of 29-2 1/2. One change Edwards will make on the boys side is to place freshman Januar Ranadhan in varsity races. His time of 12.04 seconds in the 100-meter dash not only won the junior varsity race but was also faster than Caleb Berman’s 12.09-second performance, the fastest Ramona time and the third-best mark

overall in the varsity race. Three other Bulldog boys won varsity events. Gabe Plendcio completed the 1,600-meter run in 4:35.07, Joey Jauregui posted a time of 10:44.62 in the 3,200-meter race, and Parker Christopher had a triple jump of 38-5. Approximately 15 of Edwards' athletes spent March 5 at the Mt. Carmel Field and Distance Carnival while Anderson traveled to Esperanza High School in Orange County for the Brian Oldfield Throwing Invitational. Anderson had a personal record of 54-8 1/2 in the shot put to place eighth among the 36 throwers. "That was huge," Edwards said. The Mt. Carmel meet did not include sprinting events, but Stallman had the second-place girls long jump distance of 16-9. Parker Christopher tied for third in the boys triple jump at 40-2 and was eighth in the boys long jump with a personal record of 20-0. Reyes set a personal record of 132-5 in the shot put to earn seventh place. Plendcio's 1,600-meter time of 4:30.94 placed eighth overall and fourth among CIF San Diego Section runners. Valade's first-ever 800-meter race produced a time of 2:35.03 which was worth fourth place in her heat and ninth place overall. Tunnell was fifth in her freshman 1,600-meter heat and 18th overall at 5:57.29.

Bulldogs defeat Warhawks, lose O BERKLEY, WHERE HART THOU? to Aztecs in soccer playoffs BY JOE NAIMAN The post-season for Ramona High School’s girls soccer team consisted of a loss to Montgomery after a playoff win at Madison. The two CIF Division IV playoff games finalized Ramona’s season record at 9-15, including a 1-9 Valley League statistic that placed the Bulldogs last in the final league standings. “I think overall I’m pretty happy with the season,” said coach Deena Vizcarra. The Bulldogs had two returning starters and seven total returning varsity players from the 2014-15 team, and the 2015-16 varsity roster included six freshmen. “They’ve got some experience under their belt,” Vizcarra said of the new varsity players. The 3-1 victory over Madison last Monday constituted Ramona’s first playoff win since 2014, when Ramona was in Division III and opened post-season competition with a victory over Horizon. The scoring at Madison commenced in the 10th minute when Ramona junior Sierra Crenshaw placed a shot into the net. “Sierra just took it up herself and scored,” Vizcarra said. A goal by senior Jenni Rivera gave Ramona a 2-0 lead. Madison then scored in to create a 2-1 halftime score. A corner kick play ended when Mikaila McNary converted a pass from Rivera into the game’s final goal. “I’m glad we got that,” Vizcarra said of the playoff win. The three goals matched Ramona’s total for the Bulldogs’ previous five games combined. “It was a more offensive game for us, which was a good change for us,” Vizcarra said.

Ramona senior Kat Lorentz was injured during the Madison game and did not play against Montgomery the next day. “We were not a full squad,” Vizcarra said. Ramona had the No. 11 seed in the playoffs. Montgomery had the sixth seed. The Aztecs took a 2-0 halftime lead on goals. The remaining goals of the 4-0 game came in the second half. “We held them off for a while,” Vizcarra said. Montgomery followed its win over Ramona with a quarterfinal victory over third-seeded Southwest High School of El Centro.

Celebrating Dr. Seuss
R
amona Library Community Room was packed as families poured in to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ 112th birthday and Read Across America Day. The hour-and-a-half event Thursday afternoon found children working on crafts, creating their own Dr. Seuss characters, listening to Dr. Seuss books, eating birthday cake and concentrating on the Book Walk music. The Iota Rho Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society of women educators with Ramona Library hosted the event, organized by Susan Beffa, Ramona Unified School District substitute teacher and an Iota Rho member. Assisted by student volunteers, nine Iota Tho members — most retired teachers — worked at the celebration. As Iota Rho members plan each year’s event, they discuss what they’ve done before and strive to add something new, said Beffa.

New this year was the Ooblek booth. It was a hit. Ooblek, made of corn starch and water, found its name in Dr. Seuss’ “Bartholomew and the Ooblek,” a gooey green substance that fell from the sky and wreaked havoc in the Kingdom of Didd. Youngsters participating in the Book Walk had the opportunity to choose a free book from three boxes full of children’s books that had been donated for the celebration. Ted “Dr. Seuss” Geisel, born March 2, 1904, penned classics such as “Green Eggs and Ham,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” “The Cat in the Hat” and “Oh, the Places You’ll Go.” He died in 1991. The National Education Association launched Read Across America on his birthday seven years later. The program promotes the importance of reading to school children. —Maureen Robertson

BY JESSICA KING Their money may only be pretend, but the lessons they’re learning are real. Students enrolled in Rose Darrough’s advanced placement economics classes at Ramona High are "playing" the stock market and besting their peers at other high schools in the county. The Stock Market Game is sponsored by the nonprofit SIFMA Foundation, or Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. The game encourages students to learn about the stock market through role playing. Starting with a pretend bank account of $100,000, the students make hypothetical choices in buying and selling bonds and stocks, then track what happens using an app on their phones and the website, stockmarketgame.org. In San Diego County, at least 400 student teams are playing the game and as of Friday,
five of Darrough’s teams were ranked No. 1, 11, 20, 23 and 81. Leading the way in the No. 1 spot are RHS seniors Jacob Underwood, Ben Klinger, Miriam Rodriguez and Jon Crawford. According to the team, a key ingredient in their successes has been research and lots of it. "We started out really aggressive, then had to be like, ‘whoa, wait a minute,’" said Crawford. "We have made our mistakes and it costs us," agreed Klinger. "But we eventually made it all back," said Crawford, adding that pharmaceuticals and technology have proven to be their wisest investments. The team also agreed that patience and luck have been crucial. As of Friday, the team was sitting at more than $115,000, up from it lowest point of around $90,000.

Ramona Concert Association will present the Ramona High School Symphonic and Jazz bands in concert on Friday, March 11. Maxwell Lowe, the new music teacher at the school, will direct the bands. “This will be the fifth year the concert association has had the pleasure of highlighting these exceptional bands that our high school produces,” said Marlene Robershaw, association president. Since this school year began in September, Lowe has been directing the Ramona High School bands and also the choir programs. “The choir program at the school has not been offered for the last three years, so it is welcomed back to the music department,” said Robershaw. Under Lowe’s leadership, the Royal Alliance Marching Band and Color Guard learned several county awards in the fall. The 24-year-old Michigan native, a 2013 graduate of Central Michigan University, said he is anxious to continue the great musicianship and highly regarded reputation of the Ramona High School bands. The concert will start at 7:30 p.m. in the Charles R. Nunn Performing Arts Center at Olive Peirce Middle School, 1521 Hanson Lane. Doors open at 7 for seating. The suggested donation at the door will be $10 for adults and $7 for children and students. Proceeds will go to the Ramona High School band program. Concert association members will be admitted with their tickets. “Come out for a great night of music by talented high school musicians,” said Robershaw. For more information, call 760-789-7474.

Valley League boys soccer coaches give seven Bulldogs all-league honors BY JOE NAIMAN Seven of Ramona High School’s boys soccer players received all-league honors from Valley League coaches. The league’s first team included Carson Charbonneau and Carlos Morales. Branden Chavez is on the second team. Honorable mention distinction went to Mario Gonzalez, Eddy Saucedo, Tony Solis and Manny Velazco. “I’m happy that we got those,” said coach Michael Jordan. A league record of 3-4-3 gave Ramona
fourth in the final six-team Valley League standings. The Bulldogs finished ahead of Orange Glen, which had won outright or shared the previous six Valley League championships. “That was a nice achievement,” Jordan said. Charbonneau, a junior, is a team captain. He played center back for the Bulldogs. “He played really well this year,” Jordan said. Jordan noted that Charbonneau was able to contribute on offense and then return to the other side of the field to handle defensive duties. “He’s just a really good
player,” Jordan said. Morales is a senior midfielder. “He’s kind of our engine,” Jordan said. “Just a fun player to have.” Chavez, a senior, played midfield and forward. Solis, a senior, was Ramona’s goalkeeper. Saucedo is a junior who played forward. Gonzalez and Velazco are both sophomores. Gonzalez is a midfielder and Velazco is a defender. The grade makeup will give Ramona four returning all-league players if they play soccer during 2016-17.
“Things look real well for us in the future,” Jordan said. “Hopefully our new league will be successful for us.” Ramona will remain in the Valley League, which will replace Orange Glen, Oceanside, and Mission Vista with Escondido and San Pasqual. Fallbrook and Valley Center will also return to the Valley League. Ramona’s overall record was 9-9-5, which includes a Feb. 24 loss to Gompers in the first round of the CIF Division III playoffs. The game was scoreless at halftime, but the final score was 3-0 in favor of the Eagles.

Domestic Short Hair, is waiting for a patient new home. This sweet kitten was brought into our care in August after being attacked by a wild animal. He had a bit of a rough start, but his medical team quickly got him on the road to recovery. Due to his injuries, he unfortunately had to lose one of his back legs, and will need to be an indoor only cat in his new home. His foster mom says he is a very playful and talkative boy who loves to sleep in her bed every night. Due to his initial timidness, Possum would do best in a quiet home with adults only, preferably with another friendly cat companion for him to play with! Possum is available for adoption at the san Diego Humane society’s oceanside Campus, 572 Airport Road. To learn more about Possum call (760) 757-4357.

F.S.B. as beneficiary and ALLIANCE TITLE as trustee, and was recorded on 11/09/2004 as Document No. 20041062691 and WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and WHEREAS the beneficial interest in the Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment recorded 04/22/2014 in document no. 2014-0159903, of Official records in the office of the Recorder of SAN DIEGO County, CA, and WHEREAS a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust PURSUANT TO SECTION 9 (A)(i), OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS “AN IMMEDIATE PAYMENT IN FULL.

WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on 06/17/2014 as Instrument No. 20140249537, notice is hereby given that on 03/24/2016, at 10:00AM local time, all real and personal prop-

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $32,614.38 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $32,614.38 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title.

All extensions will be for a 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee will be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure

How Medicare covers prescription drugs
id you know that Medicare helps pay for prescription medications? Even if you don’t take many prescriptions now, you should consider joining a Medicare drug plan. There are two ways to get Medicare prescription drug coverage: 1. Medicare standalone drug plans, also known as Part D plans, add drug coverage to Original Medicare, as well as to some Medicare Cost Plans and Medicare Private Fee-for-Service plans. You must have Medicare Part A or Part B to join a standalone Part D plan. 2. Medicare Advantage plans and other Medicare health plans often include prescription drugs. Medicare Advantage plans are managed care plans, similar to HMOs or PPOs. Many, but not all, Medicare Advantage plans offer prescription coverage. To join such a plan, you must have Medicare Part A and Part B. You can sign up for either type of drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare or during Medicare’s open enrollment season, which runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 each year. Beware: If your Medicare Advantage plan includes prescription benefits and you join a Part D plan, you’ll be dis-enrolled from your Medicare Advantage plan and returned to Original Medicare. How much does a Medicare drug plan cost? It varies, depending on what plan you choose, which drugs it covers, which pharmacy you use, and whether you’re eligible for the Extra Help program. Most standalone, or Part D, plans charge a monthly premium, which you must pay in addition to your Part B premium. If you’re in a Medicare Advantage plan, the monthly premium for that plan may include an amount for drug coverage. Most Medicare drug plans also have a yearly deductible, an amount you must pay before the plan begins paying for its share of your
drugs. Once the deductible is met, you’ll also pay a co-payment or co-insurance amount at the pharmacy counter. In addition, most Medicare drug plans have a coverage gap, also known as the “donut hole.” The gap begins after you and your drug plan together have spent a certain amount for your drugs. For more details on the gap, see the “Medicare & You” handbook, mailed to every Medicare beneficiary annually and also available online, at www.medicare.gov/ Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf. Once you’re out of the gap, you get “catastrophic coverage,” which means you only have to pay a co-payment or co-insurance amount for your drugs for the rest of that calendar year. However, not everyone will enter the coverage gap because their drug costs won’t be high enough. The gap is scheduled to be eliminated by 2020. Keep in mind that not every Medicare drug plan covers every drug. You’ll need to check with the plan to make sure that the drugs you need are covered. Also, plans may have restrictions such as prior authorization, quantity limits and step therapy, which requires that you try a lower-cost drug before the plan will cover a high-priced medication. You or your prescriber has the right to appeal if you believe that such a rule should be waived. I also want to mention the Extra Help program, which assists low-income folks in paying for their prescriptions. If you qualify, Extra Help can save you thousands of dollars annually on your drugs. For more details, see the “Medicare & You” handbook. David Sayen is Medicare’s regional administrator for California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Pacific Territories.

Pool players compete against, learn from pros BY KAREN BRAINARD Eight Ramona pool players competed against some of the professionals in the billiard world at an annual tournament held recently in La Mesa. Several locals also had a chance to learn tips from one of the pros who stayed in Ramona. At the Feb. 20 and 21 Jay Swanson Memorial 9-ball, known as the Swanee, resident Henry Preciado had to face off against pro Oscar Dominguez, the top player in the Mezz Cues West state tour who would go on to win this year’s Swanee. “Oscar was really hot this weekend,” Preciado said after the tournament. Preciado formed a Billiard Congress of America Pool League in Ramona. The Swanee fielded 128 players. Also playing from Ramona were players Jess Libsack, Dan Acheson, Shaun Murphy, Christopher Pursley, Erik Viger, Mike Mermelstein and Joe Hampton. “The playing conditions were super tough,” Preciado said. Preciado is friends with pros Max Eberle and Rodney Morris who both played in the tournament — Morris placed second — and invited them to Ramona. Eberle, a Las Vegas resident who has a pool academy, stayed a couple of weeks in the community, conducting clinics and giving instruction to some of the local players. “Lot of good pool players here,” said Eberle.
Graduation VIP Auction benefits Class of 2016 Live bidding starts April 1 For the third year, parent volunteers are coordinating the Ramona High School Graduation VIP Auction. Proceeds from the auction will support the graduation activities of the RHS Class of 2016. Funds will be used to help offset the costs of the class’ Senior Outing, Senior Breakfast and Senior gifts. Six sets of four seats on the field for graduation — three on each side — are auctioned. Parents may log into the BiddingOwl Auction site and bid on a package on the San Vicente Road side or the stadium side of the field, depending on the side their child will be sitting. This gives them an up-close view of all the graduation ceremony festivities. The BiddingOwl site is at www.biddingowl.com/RHSgrad. Along with the field-level seats, the bid winners also receive a front-row VIP parking spot, cold refreshments for the ceremony, and a festive gift bag to help them celebrate the evening. The auction will be live starting on April 1. In the past two years' auctions, about $4,000 has been raised to benefit the RHS Senior Class of 2016. More information about end-of-the-year activities and the auction will also be available on the Class of 2016's Grad Night Facebook page — search for RHS Grad Night 2016 on Facebook.

Henry Preciado of Ramona watches as professional pool player Max Eberle sets up a shot while practicing at Preciado's home for the Jay Swanson Memorial Tournament. He and Preciado met seven or eight years ago when the Swanee was in Los Angeles. “We just kind of hit it off,” said Eberle, 43, who comes from a family of pool players. Eberle said at age 12 he knew he wanted to be a pro. Among his victories are 2013 Derby City Classic 14.1 Champion, four-time West Coast 9-ball champion, and U.S. National Collegiate champion 1993 and 94. “Pool’s been good to me. It’s enriched my life,” he said. Eberle said pool is a game for all ages, including senior citizens and children.
“This is all about geometry and physics, hand and eye coordination,” he said. It’s also a game that involves visualization, tolerance and setting standards for oneself, he noted. “Pool teaches so much about life,” said Eberle, who offers free instructional videos at youtube.com/maxeberle. Preciado said the difference between the amateurs and the professionals is that the pros can hit balls all day. “We play when we can and it shows on the table,” he said. “It’s a very, very demanding sport.”
