Congressman Duncan Hunter answers a question about personal expenses charged to his campaign account. Hunter said they were mistakes made by his campaign and all the charges have been repaid.

I just want my dad here,’” the first-grader at James Dukes Elementary School said. James Dukes Principal Joy Harris, Ed.D., introduced Ramona Unified School District’s Inspirational Student of the Month to trustees at their board meeting on March 9. Jannah came to the United States with her mother and two brothers from Iraq, where she had witnessed “explosions in the sky, police officers that they don’t trust, and lots of other bad things,” said Harris. They recently received asylum, but Jannah’s father remains in Iraq, awaiting his. When Jannah came to James Dukes as a kindergartner a year and a half ago, she did not speak English and was afraid, said Harris. “She lived her nightmare every night SEE JANNAH, A13

BY KAREN BRAINARD Health care, immigration and ethics were top concerns among the hundreds who attended Rep. Duncan Hunter's town hall meeting Saturday morning in Ramona Mainstage. Throngs lined Main Street in front of the venue, appearing to be nearly evenly divided in their opinions of Hunter and of President Donald Trump's policies, holding such signs as "Dissent is patriotic," "No mass deportation," "Build the wall, enforce the law," "Can we repeal and replace Trump!" and "Get over it. We did for eight years." While peaceful outside, protesters opposing Hunter's and Trump's views became raucous inside the venue, booing and jeering in response to many of the congressman's comments and holding up signs saying "Disagree." They were offset to some degree by the applause of his many supporters in the crowd. An estimated 1,000 people showed up for the town hall meeting, some arriving more than four hours early to be assured a spot inside Mainstage. Rose LaRosa of Ramona arrived at 5:15 for the 10 a.m. meeting "to make sure I have an opportunity to get SEE HUNTER, A20

Lawsuit against water district moves to appeals

Soldier dies from critical injuries in 2015 crash Chase Simmons, a soldier who was critically injured in a December 2015 crash while on his way home to Ramona, died March 2 and was buried last Saturday. The March 11 funeral service was held at Mountain View Community Church, followed by burial with Military Honors at Nuevo Memory Gardens. Simmons, 23, had been in hospice care, having suffered a broken neck and brain damage in the crash. A Private 1st Class in the Army, Simmons had been stationed in South Korea for 1½ years as a behavioral health specialist. He was spending time with family for the holidays when the vehicle he was driving was hit by a dump truck on state Route 67 near Posthill Road in Lakeside, stated reports. A video tribute to Simmons’ memorial service is on the Facebook page of Chopper the Biker Dog. “Rest in peace SPC Chase Simmons.....you have touched the lives and hearts of more people than you could ever imagine,” states the Facebook posting. A family friend set up a Go Fund Me page for funeral expenses, www.gofundme.com/BigDreamsChase. According to the site, the military had no longer classified Simmons as Active Duty but instead as veteran so funeral expenses are borne by the family.

BY KAREN BRAINARD A class action lawsuit against the Ramona Municipal Water District that was ruled in the district’s favor in November 2015 is making its way through the appeals court. The suit, filed in 2014 on behalf of commercial property owner Eugene Plantier, claimed that RMWD’s method of charging sewer fees based on a parcel’s assigned equivalent dwelling units (EDU) bears no rational relationship to a parcel’s actual wastewater use and violates Proposition 218. Also listed as plaintiffs and appellants are Premium Development and Progressive Properties Incorporated.

There’s still time to sign up for the 2017 Miss Ramona and Teen Miss Ramona Scholarship Pageant, scheduled to be held Sunday, April 9, at the Ramona Outdoor Community Center. As of last week there were 10 competing for Teen Miss and two for Miss Ramona. The deadline to sign up is March 20. To compete for the Miss crown, contestants must be at least 16 years

restaurant, into compliance for sewer EDUs. Judge Timothy Taylor ruled in the district’s favor when deciding whether the plaintiffs had exhausted their administrative remedies before filing the suit and whether they had standing in court. Attorneys representing the district said the plaintiffs did not attend the Prop. 218 public hearings held each year for water and wastewater rate increases before adoption of the fiscal year budget. An attorney for the plaintiffs said those public hearings were about rate increases, not about the method of charging the fees — the focus of the suit.

ON THE AGENDA

Both list Ramona businessman Orrin Day as an agent. The appeal was filed Jan. 27 in the 4th Appellate District Court, and on March 1 an application was granted for the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association to file a brief on behalf of the appellants. On behalf of the water district a brief was filed March 1 by an attorney representing California Association of Sanitation Agencies, California State Association of Counties, and League of California Cities. The suit stems from April 2012 when the water district told Plantier he would have to pay approximately $33,000 to bring his building at 109 10th St., which he leases to Marisco Mar De Cortez

old and a junior in high school, and no older than 26. Those vying for the Teen Miss title must be at least 13 years old by the pageant date and not yet a junior in high school. Contestants are coached on walking, posture, the opening routine, and interviewing, and are advised on their speeches during practice, said Brittany Onder, Miss Ramona 2009 who assists with the pageant. Borrowing from Disney, the pageant

theme is “Once Upon a Time” with the catch line “Happiest Town on Earth.” Winners represent their community at events and volunteer their help, enabling them to gain confidence, public speaking experience and job interviewing skills, and learn about giving back, according to organizers.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Public records are your records BY KENNETH KRAMER This week (March 12-18) newspapers across the country will publish stories about the importance of public records and measure how well their local governments allow access to information. Public records are very serious business for newspapers because they form the backbone of most newspaper stories. Although governments usually give special treatment to journalists, you, as a citizen, have just as much right to access these records. If you don't know whether a record is public or not, just ask for it. It is the responsibility of the government to respond with the exact statute if they deny you. This makes it easy for you to look up the law. When you're reading this newspaper today, I bet you can find at least one piece of information a reporter got from a government agency. The term FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) is an acronym commonly used when describing the activity of accessing records from government agencies. But each state has a name for their own public records law. “Public records” generally are defined as records, regardless of their physical form, made or received in connection with official government business. "Regardless of physical form" means that public records come in various forms, not just paper records. They can also be electronic, such as e-mail or data stored on government computers. They can also be photos, video, or audio. So, the e-mails of your school board or water board president, a mugshot, video from a police dashcam, audio from a court hearing, your neighbor’s water usage may all be public records. Using your public records law, you can check out a health care provider. Just go to medical licensing board and request discipline reports on a doctor. You can find out if a psychiatrist was ever disciplined for sexual misconduct, substance abuse, or has a record of overdrugging children. You can find out if a doctor has done any wrong-side surgery or a dentist has improperly done an extraction which resulted in complications. If you request enough public records, you will see the free flow of information from government agencies. You get into a rhythm — you ask, you receive, back and forth, on and on and things are sailing along smoothly and then "Clunk!", the machine stops. Some attorney, trained to stop the flow and prevent access to records or some recalcitrant government worker or some state statute or agency "policy" slams the door shut: "Request Denied!" But don't let that stop you. Just Google the statute they gave you in denying the records. Are they right or not? If not, ask SEE KRAMER, A6

OUR READERS WRITE Indivisible or Divisive? A town hall meeting like the one that was scheduled to take place Saturday, March 11, at the Mainstage theater, is a forum where questions can be asked of our congressional representative, Duncan D. Hunter. It should be a chance for each of us to ask our questions and hear the congressman’s answers. I agree with Ms. Conrad that it is “an opportunity to showcase democracy.” Unfortunately, across the country, town hall meetings have been chaotic events, no more than shouting matches. When this happens, nobody learns anything. What must be remembered is that exercising free speech means that each of us must be given a chance to share our opinions and ask our questions, but so should the congressman be allowed to answer without interruption. By the time this letter is read, we’ll know if the members of Indivisible are interested in free speech for all — or not. Tom McKelvey Ramona

Country needs strong EPA Richard Nixon pioneered the Environmental Protection Agency to protect you and everyone else. Disasters routinely cross state and national borders, which is why we need a federal agency. Here in San Diego County, we are as close as the crow flies or nuclear particles move, to San Onofre’s nuclear waste, to military nuclear arsenals, and to other nuclear applications including medical. A strong EPA is critical because: “The EPA prepares for, and responds to, emergencies involving radioactive materials. EPA's Radiological Emergency Response Team (RERT) works with federal, state and local agencies to monitor radioactivity and clean up affected areas. During an emergency, EPA uses its protective action guidelines to help determine what actions are necessary to protect people from unhealthy levels of radiation.” Often, a 50-mile radius adjacent to a moderate nuclear accident experiences water, animal, and

crop contamination. Horses, wineries, wells, gardens, farms, nature, and outdoor play all express the hallmarks of our chosen rural Ramonan lifestyle, and all would suffer. The EPA has and would continue to protect you, our soldiers, our country, but there is talk and action of dismantling and weakening the EPA. Please contact your representatives at all levels. Urge them to protect us and fund a stronger EPA because: • If there is an increase in nuclear proliferation, San Diego’s risk increases substantially for nuclear accidents and attacks -- especially without an EPA. Soldiers and first responders bear the highest immediate risk, and then pregnant women, children, and other women are the most sensitive to lower levels of chronic radiation exposure creating cancer. • Soldiers should have someone watching their families’ back and moving them to safety. What would such an evacuation and permanent relocation look like, especially without structure or guidelines from the EPA? Think Highway 67, and fires, and think of driving away leaving your family behind to help someone else’s. Money for border patrol; got to be money for nuclear war and other incidents. Janine Moniot Ramona

Commentary presents rational arguments I would like to thank you for both Guest Commentary columns in last week's paper, but especially for the one by Peter Quercia. It is refreshing in today's atmosphere to read a piece that is not rabid or ranting, but gives rational arguments for the author's point of view without even mentioning the author's political partisanship. Unfortunately, I have to agree with Mr. Quercia's opinions that Mr. Trump is out of touch with reality (obvious since the start of his campaign) and needs to be replaced. Thank you for publishing this very well-written piece. Rosemary Roberts Ramona

Ramona Real Estate Statistics Statistics for February 2017

Here’s what Deb’s clients are saying... Our experience with Deb and Stage Presence Homes Realty was the best! The attention to detail along with the personal advice and care was above and beyond any home buying experience we have ever had. From start to finish, we felt like not only did we conduct a business transaction but we truly made a friend. Deb’s knowledge of the market and her just taking the time to educate us in a market/area we were unfamiliar with was most impressive. Throughout our experience, her dedicated staff was professional but yet all were warm hearted and a pleasure to deal with.

- Jeff & Emily Chadwick Deb came highly recommended by a local friend when it came time to sell my house and purchase a new home in the San Diego Country Estates. After my first meeting with Deb, it was very clear why Deb has such a great reputation! The entire team at Stage Presence Homes made the buying and selling process as easy and stress free as possible. They take care of EVERYTHING, I mean everything! No stressing about being present for appointments, repairs or inspections. Her team has it covered. Deb has the experience to know how to handle every situation that can come up and I would have been lost without her. The home I was selling was a challenging one. It was a fixer upper and I was urgently trying to sell since I have a baby on the way. We had a buyer back out of the sale (for personal reasons out of our control) a week prior to closing escrow. Deb had the house back on the market the same day and multiple offers in within 2 days to get us back on track! She is a life saver and really went above and beyond to ensure my house was sold timely and I got into my new home without issue. Please do yourself a favor and hire her today for any of your real estate needs.

FROM KRAMER, A4 them once again for the record and quote the statute. There is a a wide variation in public record laws since each state has its own statutes. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signed a bill last year allowing criminal records to be sealed if an ex-offender stayed out of trouble for 10 years. New York divorce records are closed — but California's are open. Florida prohibited autopsy photos following the NASCAR crash death of Dale Earnhardt. The FBI won't release a record unless the subject of the records request has filled out a form or if the subject has died. (Plus they take forever in responding.) Public records are your records. They are PUBLIC. Governments are simply the custodians of the records. Good luck on your search of public records. Happy Sunshine Week!

GUEST COMMENTARY

A great day in Ramona

Respect, unity was left at the door

BY SUSAN CONRAD What was feared as potentially contentious became democracy in action. People began to line up as early as 6 a.m. for the Duncan Hunter town hall event. Indivisible Ramona members in yellow vests provided various tasks for all of the people in line, regardless of party. These folks saved spaces so that people could get a bite, stretch, and find a bathroom. They offered information for other District 50 members on where to eat, park, etc. They even went through collecting people’s coffee cups and other garbage. These IR members did this for four solid hours, knowing that they were probably not getting into the event. Overall, the atmosphere was more like a Sunday picnic than a battle of opposing foes. Aside from some rude comments, folks got along just fine. I appreciate the veterans, who support Hunter, defending one of our immigrant members when he was told to “go home.” Apparently I was quoted as “busing” people in for the event. Where were the buses? It’s true that we were expecting support from other Indivisible groups in San Diego for our private, paid event in Collier Park. What’s wrong with

that? They weren’t trying to get into the town hall. They had their own town halls to attend. The fact is Indivisible Ramona now has over 200 members. The town hall event was for all of the communities in District 50, not just Ramona. This “busing” notion or the idea that we are “paid” is simply ludicrous. There was speculation that Tea’d party members were let into the venue through another entrance prior to the public admission. Obviously, that would be a serious violation of civil liberties, so unless proved, we shouldn’t assume this to be true. The rally in Collier Park allowed people who couldn’t get in to listen to the live streamed event. While this was a private Indivisible Ramona event, Hunter and Trump supporters were welcomed and did attend. I did not attend the event so that I could help transition people to the park. The feedback from those who attended appreciated the opportunity to be heard. However, they were very frustrated that Mr. Hunter chose to have a guest speaker on health care speak for him. That’s not how a town hall should work. SEE CONRAD, A8

BY STEVE YANKE Rebuttal to Susan Conrad and Indivisible Ramona. Susan, I was relieved to read your warm and kind guest commentary introducing Indivisible Ramona in the March 9 Sentinel. I, too, had hoped the town hall would be a model for others to emulate. I would like to commend you on the creation of Indivisible Ramona. Your team was well-represented in number, well-trained and well-equipped. The red and green cards were a magnificent idea, and worked extremely well. I am sure there will be pictures in the paper showing Indivisible, holding their signs united in opposition to Congressman Hunter. What a great visual. Democrats are so much better at the politics thing than us knuckle-dragging Constitution-loving conservatives. Unfortunately, what happened inside the hall was nothing like your call for a unifying, non-dividing, town hall meeting. Respect, listening, civil sharing of opinions was left at the door. I am struggling to find a polite way to

say, those people made you and your words hollow and hypocritical. Your Indivisible Ramona crowd became the Indespicable red card brigade. Not there to listen, nor be civil. The voices of the polite and meek-mannered people without red cards were silenced, and ignored. Inside, the closed-minded red card brigade listened only for key words that triggered them into a disrespectful screaming mob that silenced all communications after they heard the trigger. Keywords like “Trump,” “0bamacare,” and “illegal immigrants” triggered rude, ugly behavior, which repressed all opposition to their mindset. Someone behind me stood up and screamed LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, every time he heard the word Trump. The apex of disrespect and rude behavior came when a doctor was SHOUTED OFF THE STAGE. I don’t know his name, or what he said; his voice was silenced. Duncan Hunter could barely get out that he was an immigrant American doctor and wanted to talk about SEE YANKE, A8

GUEST COMMENTARY

President Trump is doing just fine DAN SUMMERS ’m responding to Peter Quercia’s irrational letter last week in the Sentinel in which he suggests a psychiatric evaluation for President Donald Trump. Mr. Quercia is clearly an admirer of former President Obama, but he apparently viewed the Obama administration through rose-colored glasses. He criticizes President Trump for visiting constituents to gain support for his agenda, yet has forgotten the world-wide “apology tour” that Obama took with an enormous, ego-driven entourage, to slam America, early in his administration. He accuses President Trump of lying about terrorist activities by Muslim immigrants in Sweden. The facts are that Muslim immigrants to Sweden are perpetrating a crime wave across the country that includes assaults and multiple rapes. The Swedish government, which allowed the Muslims to immigrate, is currently scrambling to cover up the crime wave and thus protect their elected positions. Mr. Querica is apparently happy with Obama’s economic legacy, which includes the highest number of Americans in poverty and on food

stamps in our history. The unemployment rate, which he lauds, is dubious because of its source, and does not include the millions of Americans who have given up looking for work. In addition, Obama’s eight years of job-killing regulations have led to the largest percentage of people out of the work force since the Great Depression. Let’s talk about America’s national debt. Obama inherited an $8 trillion national debt and managed to raise it to $19.5 trillion. What does that mean? The latest numbers are as follows: if you are a taxpayer, your individual share of the national debt is $166,000. If you are not a taxpayer, your share in only $62,000! Which one are you, Mr. Quercia? In his next statement, Mr. Quercia loses all credibility. He actually states there were no scandals during the Obama administration. Clearly, he must watch only MSNBC or CNN, because he missed the “Fast and Furious” scandal, the IRS scandal, the Solyndra scandal, Benghazi, the Iran nuclear deal coupled with the $400 million ransom that arrived in Iran on a pallet in a private jet, sending a White House crew with $300,000 in tax dollars to influence an Israeli election against Netanyahu, selling 20% of America’s uranium to the Russians,

releasing Muslim terrorists from Guantanamo who resumed terrorist activities against America, normalizing relations with communist Cuba, lying to the American people about Obamacare, the disastrous Obamacare roll-out, the VA scandal, swapping five Taliban generals for the deserter Bowe Bergdahl, the infamous $787 billion stimulus package that only benefited friends of Barack and union thugs, the illegal surveillance of Fox journalist James Rosen, and the clandestine meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton in a Phoenix airplane hangar four days before the FBI announced its conclusions on Hillary’s email scandal. These are but a few Obama scandals, off the top of my head. Mr. Quercia states that hate crimes have increased since President Trump’s election. Finally, I agree with him, except the hate crimes are being perpetrated by the left, who are having public tantrums over Hillary’s crushing and unexpected defeat. This is best exemplified by the rioting in Berkeley by the “Indivisible” movement which is partially sponsored by George Soros and whose purpose is to disrupt and destroy the Trump agenda by any means at their disposal. I also agree with Mr. Quercia that

candidate Trump’s “locker room” talk was boorish. But Mr. Quercia, who likely voted for Hillary, would apparently have no qualms about welcoming Bill Clinton back into the White House, where he actually committed adultery, leading to his impeachment. President Trump’s agenda is refreshingly constitutional and pro-American. Mr. Quercia obviously prefers a different direction, but I must point out that a common definition of insanity is repeating an activity over and over, while expecting a different result. Mr. Quercia, the kind of government you so apparently support has never accomplished economic stability: note the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1980s, that Cubans are still driving 1950 cars, and that Venezuelans are currently dining in trash dumps. Mr. Quercia, before you suggest a psychiatric evaluation of President Trump, I strongly recommend a prolonged look in your own mirror. Mr. Trump is an author, has raised a wonderful family, is a billionaire, and, well, he is president of the United States. Leave Mr. Trump alone. He is doing just fine.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Indivisible, where were you when... BY SUSAN LEUKHARDT ndivisible,” where were you when Obama divided America? If this gets printed in the Sentinel, it will be after the Duncan Hunter town hall. Hopefully “Undivided” did not disrupt the town hall or flood our country town with screaming liberal dissidents wearing kitty cat hats. I do not like Trump. I did not vote for Trump. I was invited to join ‘Undivided,” which stated they are all inclusive even to a conservative like me (who was anti-Trump during the election and have a “wait and see” attitude about him now). However, after reading their hostile and untruthful rhetoric against the Tea Party and learning more of their agenda, I declined because their agenda goes against most of my conservative values. They claim that their goal is to unify when it is apparent from their past attendance at town halls held by conservative leaders that their goal is to disrupt. Proof will be in the pudding when we see their conduct at Hunter’s town hall. Since Duncan Hunter has helped our military and veterans, I would like to clue “Undivided” into why so many military people supported Trump and some of the many reasons why Obama’s presidency gave rise to a candidate like Trump. Aside from Obama’s abuse of our military and vets, people were just fed up with Obama’s racist and anti-American attitude. This is from an article in the Conservative Tribune listing several of the ways Obama insulted our military. His racism and race

baiting is fodder for another letter to the editor which I will probably be writing. A few of the ways Obama showed disrespect for our military: 1. Looking past all his civilian aides to order a Marine to hold an umbrella over his head like a butler for an entire speech at the Rose Garden, in violation of military regulations. 2. Forcing race-baiting class warfare propaganda, extreme PC “sensitivity” measures, and Gay Pride Month on soldiers. 3. Taking credit for the success of the surge he opposed in Iraq. 4. Taking credit for the success of the interrogation policies he opposed that located Osama bin Laden. 5. Skipping the funeral of the highest-ranking officer to be killed on foreign soil in over 40 years (Major-General Harold J. Greene), to play golf. 6. Smearing veterans as potential domestic terrorists. 7. Trying to make wounded veterans cover their own medical treatment through private health insurance plans, which would inevitably end up increasing their out-of-pocket costs. 8. Blaming our troops for the Taliban attacking them — for everything from objecting to pedophilia and advocating women’s rights, to not wearing latex gloves while handling Korans and walking in front of Muslims while they are praying. 9. Rushing in to misrepresent the Ft. Hood massacre that killed 13 soldiers (one whom was pregnant) as mere “workplace violence.”

10. Giving captured terrorists at Gitmo (who are drenched in soldiers’ blood) a $750,000 soccer field, cable TV, entertainment, classes in painting, etc., while stripping away benefits for soldiers at every turn. 11. Ordering federal agencies to make the sequester cuts as painful as possible for the American people, which ended up cutting tuition assistance for soldiers and increasing other college costs for the Armed Forces across the board. 12. Denying veterans from all over the country access to the WWII Memorial in Washington over a staged government shutdown while allowing illegal immigrants to hold a political rally on closed federal grounds. 13. Cutting military health care benefits and pensions while increasing spending on unionized federal bureaucrats (Obama voters). 14. Ignoring a former Marine frivolously imprisoned in Mexico on trumped up weapons charges. 15. Using soldiers to help a terror-sponsoring dictator fight off outraged civilian protesters. 16. Purging the military of oath-keeping constitutionalists. 17. Imposing draconian cuts to the things we are actually supposed to be spending tax dollars on under the Constitution (like the military), while exploding spending on things the Federal Government has no authority to even be involved in, like Obama’s trillion-dollar health care takeover. 18. Silencing and criminalizing Christianity in the military. 19. Banning time-proven interrogation techniques and insisting on treating foreign terrorists as mere common criminals to be tried in American courts, as civilians. 20. Suppressing military votes. 21. Imposing ludicrous rules of engagement on our troops that have

GUEST COMMENTARY

FROM YANKE, A6 ACA. If you and the Indivisible Ramona group were not responsible for creating the rude Red and Green sign mob inside the Mainstage, my apologies, as I mistook your Indivisible Ramona group for the Indespicable group that was inside. My heartfelt thanks goes out to Congressman Hunter and his guest for attending Ramona’s town hall. They are true patriots to stand up there and take that crap from those animals. Susan, what happened inside the Mainstage was not a model town hall of democracy in action, nor was it unifying, and most of all, the red card mob was void of respect. However, they were very effective at reacting to trigger words, voicing their opinions, and silencing the opposition. Steve Yanke is a Ramona resident.

FROM CONRAD, A6 Indivisible Ramona acknowledges the work and effort that made this event possible. Although the venue was not big enough for the crowd, we appreciate the assistance from Mainstage personnel. Indivisible Ramona especially recognizes the efforts of the Ramona Sheriff’s Department and the volunteer security on horseback for maintaining safety and guidance throughout the day. Overall, it was a great day in Ramona. Susan Conrad, a Ramona resident, is chair of Indivisible Ramona.

needlessly gotten many soldiers killed. 22. Appeasing our enemies, backing down after drawing “red lines” in the sand, betraying our allies, and dismantling our missile defenses…all of which needlessly endangers our troops. 23. Cutting troops down to pre-WWII levels, and then allowing illegal immigrants into the military. 24. Allowing veterans to die on secret waiting lists at VA hospitals all over the country, after being warned about the manipulated numbers and obscene delays in care (welcome to ‘universal health care’) back in 2008. 25. Abandoning three decorated veterans and a U.S. ambassador to be dragged through the streets and tortured to death by bloodthirsty Islamic savages in Benghazi, and then falsely blaming it on Americans having the right to disagree with Islam in public. 26. Releasing numerous terrorists back onto the streets so they could return and attack our soldiers, including one who ended up becoming the leader of ISIS. 27. Releasing five major terrorist leaders to appease the Taliban into releasing one America-hating deserter. 28. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq while handing Afghanistan back to the Islamic fundamentalists who facilitated 9/11 (the Taliban). 29. Openly funding and arming Islamic terrorists. 30. Endlessly trampling the Constitution that soldiers are sworn to defend and attacking the rights they fight, bleed, and die to protect. “Indivisible,” were you ever interested in town halls before your party lost the election? I again ask where were your objections of Obama when he was dividing our country? Susan Leukhardt has lived in Ramona since 1976.

Ratepayer sees problems with RMWD capital planning BY GARY HURST Most of Karen Brainard's article in the Feb. 23, 2017, Ramona Sentinel dealt with the 10-year Water System Infrastructure Facilities Plan that was presented and recommended by Ramona Municipal Water District (RMWD) staff and unanimously approved by the Board. Director Zenovic was quoted as saying “the people of Oroville would probably appreciate such a maintenance plan.” The state of California does have just such a plan for Oroville facilities and the ongoing problems and potential disaster stem from that plan. Neither repairs to, nor inspections of, the main spillway were properly completed. At least one contributing factor was the lack of a comprehensive capital repair and replacement plan, so corners were cut because insufficient funds were available. The RMWD capital plan approved

was for the next 10 years only, and for the water fund only. While similar plans exist for both sewer treatment facilities, no such plan exists for emergency/fire services. Director Hickle noted that the average lifespan for pipelines is 50 years. This observation exposes three other problems with RMWD capital planning. First, while these pipelines are “used up” over their 50-year expected life, no expense is accrued for their repair and replacement. Instead General Manager Barnum has often bragged that RMWD waits until the need for repair or replacement of a capital asset is clearly within 10 years before adding it to the Facilites Plan. The ratepayers who benefit from “using up” the capital asset for the first 40 years of life pay nothing, while those who benefit from the last 10 years of life pay everything. RMWD is proud that it uses “cash accounting” rather that accrual accounting. Revenues are not matched

in time with expenses, so capital-related expenses are pushed into the future. This is unfair to future ratepayers, surely a violation of proportionality requirements, and often results in too few funds for capital projects. Second, the lack of a comprehensive schedule of capital assets, expected lives, date of acquisition, current estimated repair and/or replacement cost, and current estimated remaining useful life leaves RMWD without the information needed to calculate the annual repair and replacement accrual. It also makes it too easy to defer and overlook capital repairs and replacements because it is easier to ignore them for another year than it is to raise rates excessively in order to pay for decades of deferred accruals. The lack of emergency spillway maintenance at Oroville and recent lack of funds to replace RMWD emergency equipment are examples of this. Chief Financial Officer Hannasch's claim at the Dec. 13, 2016, board meeting that “dams last forever” is certainly disproved by the Oroville SEE HURST, A9

Reservations due Wednesday for Republican women luncheon Reservations for the March 27 Intermountain Republican Women Federated meeting are due by March 22. The luncheon meeting in San Vicente Resort, 24157 San Vicente Road, will feature John Cox, 61, who was born and raised in the south side of Chicago and developed a successful career as an attorney and CPA. Recommended check-in and social time is 10:30 a.m. The meeting will start at 11. Cost is $16. Cox’s mother was an educator, and his stepfather was a lifelong postal worker. From these modest beginnings, he founded an investment advisory firm, a real estate management company, and a venture capital firm. These firms manage and own assets in excess of $200 million. In the 1990s, Cox led an investment group that purchased Jays Foods, a major regional food manufacturer, saving more than 600 local jobs. He recruited and led a team of

irrigation and recycled water systems from the potable water system funds. Using a comprehensive capital repair and replacement schedule to calculate the expenses that should be accrued annually for the irrigation and recycled water systems will make the narrow-minded character of this claim obvious. These systems are physically separate and have separate customer bases from the potable water system, so separate funds are required to calculate the rates and fees for these systems — just as the Santa Maria and San Vicente Sewer Systems are separate.

Third, the lack of a comprehensive capital repair and replacement schedule hides the inequity inherent in combining RMWD's potable and irrigation/reclaimed water system finances. Many of the large costs associated with the irrigation/reclaimed water systems are not recognized by the cash accounting system. At the Dec. 13, 2016, board meeting, Mr. Hannasch claimed “no useful management information” was gained from separating the

Design review, county team up on code compliance BY KAREN BRAINARD Having seen an increase in code violations complaints, the County of San Diego has expanded its code compliance staff and says a new full-time officer has been assigned to the Ramona area. That was welcome news to Ramona Design Review Board members, who for months have complained about a lack of response from the county regarding code violations. The county said it is expanding its staff "to better serve our customers throughout the unincorporated area." According to the county, code

compliance officers from other areas have been helping to cover Ramona since the previously assigned officer left the job. Most of the design board's complaints have been about sign violations such as temporary business banners and feather flags that remain up year-round. Other violations regard lighting that does not meet the Dark Sky regulations. Design review is asking the county to handle at least one code violation a month. Once contacted, violators face increasing fines if they do not correct the issue. Three design review members —

chair Rob Lewallen, Jim Cooper, and Scott Ensign — met with the heads of county Code Compliance on Feb. 3. According to Ensign's report at the board's Feb. 23 meeting, Code Compliance plans to create a partnership between its staff and the design review board, starting with targeting enforcement. Ensign suggested inviting the new code compliance officer to the board's March 30 meeting. "It would be really good to get this ball rolling," said Lewallen. In some cases, new business owners have said they were not aware they had to follow certain

sign requirements and seek approval from the board. County staff suggested educating the Ramona Chamber of Commerce about speaking to new and existing businesses regarding design review meetings, according to the report. Lewallen has been involved in updating the Ramona Village Center Form-Based Code. For feather flags and temporary banners, he has said they are proposing to permit a business such signage 45 days twice a year for special occasions such as grand openings and holiday sales. The county has also created an app that allows people to contact

Code Compliance with complaints and questions about such issues as waste, graffiti, illegal grading and construction and inoperable vehicles. The Tell Us Now! app also allows the public to contact county Department of Public Works about problems on county-maintained roads such as potholes, drainage, signs and traffic issues. Among other issues that can be reported to county departments on the Tell Us Now! app are complaints about smoke, smells, illegal burns and non-permitted operations. The app is available in the app stores for iPhone and Android smartphones.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

Social media never disappears

acebook, LinkedIn and other social media outlets have become the predominant way of communicating and establishing commercial and personal brands. Wearing my hat, for example, exposes me to a targeted audience. Blasting its image via six social media accounts increases my visibility exponentially. However, once something’s published online it’s impossible to erase. So I’m VERY careful what I publish so it doesn’t come back to haunt me later. Consider this item on LinkedIn: “Damn…the NFL been around longer than our government. We’ve had 50 Super Bowls and only 45 presidents. I didn’t know that.” She wasn’t kidding! Her millennial friends agreed with her, while others provided unsuccessful civics lessons. Logically, someday this woman will want a job. Potential employers will GOOGLE her name and discover today’s

conversation. Meaning today’s willful ignorance could easily endanger tomorrow’s opportunity. This judgmental attitude isn’t just mine. Business owners following the feed said “WOW!!!”; “The scariest thing is…they vote.”; and “Your education is what you make it, Princess.” This subject’s appropriateness for business-oriented LinkedIn also raised temperatures. One executive observed, “Actually it’s perfect…helps with candidate vetting.” Here’s reality for you: Anonymity no longer exists in today’s world. Meaning if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Whether you’re branding a business, nonprofit, or yourself, be sure your marketing plan includes a healthy dose of social media. But remember potential bosses, clients, and partners will not only examine your recent postings, but everything you’ve ever written. SEE WEB, A25

First-grader Jannah Kato and teacher Kaylene Weber listen as Principal Joy Harris, Ed.D., tells trustees about Jannah.

Surrounding Jannah Kato at the school board meeting are her mother, Sameerah; brothers Yousif and Matthew; aunt Ghada Kato; uncle Steve Hermiz; cousin Marlene Razouki; district Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D.; James Dukes Principal Joy Harris; teacher Kaylene Weber; trustees Rodger Dohm, Daryn Drum, Kim Lasley, Dawn Perfect, and Bob Stoody; and Montecito High School student board representative Jaelyn Quezada.

FROM JANNAH, A1 with nightmares while she slept, and she came to school fearful of everyone,” said Harris. “…She screamed and cried throughout the day, every day for about a month.” It took awhile, but Jannah grew accustomed to the school and learned to trust Harris, her teacher, her classmates, and others at James Dukes — “one by one” — and they became her second family, noted Harris.

Because no one at the school spoke Arabic, it was difficult to communicate with Jannah. They used an iPad to translate “so we could have just basic conversation with her,” said Harris. “We wondered how she could possibly catch up to her peers,” continued Harris. Jannah not only caught up, but she became one of the school’s top performers, said Harris, commenting that Jannah may be small, but she is mighty.

Prep Track and Field

Athletes have busy first two weeks

DAN BROWN

Caleb Berman participates in hurdles in the Mission Hills Dual meet. Behind him is Ian Cirillo.

BY DAN BROWN Ramona track and field athletes began the season with four meets in the first two weeks. One of the largest participant sports at Ramona High with 65 girls and 55 boys, the team traveled down the hill to face Rancho Buena Vista (RBV) High School in a dual meet on March 2 and then participated in the Mt. Carmel Field & Distance Invitational at Mt. Carmel High School on Saturday, March 4. The second week of the season, they traveled to Mission Hills High School to face Mission Vista High School on March 9 and the Bronco Invitational at Rancho Bernardo High School on Saturday, March 11. Although the first two dual meets were practice meets, the girls outscored RBV High School, 81-46, and Mission Vista, 70-57. The boys came out on the short end against RBV, 76-54, and Mission Vista, 75-57. The scoring in dual meets are determined by the finish of the top three in each individual event. First place earns 5 points for their school, second place 3 points, and third place 1 point. The relay races such as the 4x100 meter and 4x400 meter earn 5 points for first only.

Cycle Dawgs Marissa Talle and Stassa Cappos race at Vail Lake in Temecula.

Cycle Dawgs settle into new racing season BY KRISTEN BAUER-BROWN Each year brings new positions and new competition for the Ramona High School Cycle Dawgs mountain biking team, and with two races already in the books this season, the team is in sixth place overall in the SoCal High School Cycling League. The racing season kicked off last month at Lake Perris, with the team braving chilly temperatures and muddy conditions after heavy rain earlier in the week. On March 5, the Cycle Dawgs competed at Vail Lake in Temecula, where racers reckoned with a more difficult course and some windy weather. The first races of the season give riders a chance to check out their competition, which changes each year based on performance from the previous season. Four Ramona racers, after moving up from JV last year, are competing at the varsity level for the first time this season. That means the boys varsity race doubles in length from two laps to four laps, and the girls varsity increases from two laps to three

laps. Both test the cyclists’ endurance and technical skills against the best of the best in the league. Top level mountain bike racing can be both intimidating at first, as well as motivating, said junior Stassa Cappos. “Being in varsity, I am competing against the fastest girls in the SoCal Mountain Bike League,” she said. “Each race is a clear display of the hard work each girl puts in to compete at such a high level.” The top level girls also include senior Marissa Talle, also new to varsity, and returning varsity state champion Gwendalyn Gibson, a senior this year, who did not disappoint with a first place win in the Perris race. Gibson was unable to compete at Vail Lake, because she was racing at the World Cup in Canada, where she also claimed the top spot on the podium in her division. On the boys’ side, Ramona High School juniors Karson Basore and Seth Levy are competing at the varsity level for the first

time, both finishing in the top 20, and describing the experience as a whole new world. “The competition is unbelievable compared to last year, racing sophomore,” said Basore, a junior. “I love the challenges and the speeds that we are going. The kids are more aggressive, but I like racing like that.” Most people who race in the SoCal League do not race varsity, and being a senior does not automatically qualify anyone for that level of competition. Unlike other high school sports, it is based on performance only. “You have to actually place into varsity, so to even race varsity as a junior is insane,” said Levy. “These guys are the best in SoCal, and some are on track to being pro.” Levy has his sights set high for the rest of the season. “My goals now are to finish in the top 10 at the rest of the races,” he said. “I still have next year in varsity so I want to use SEE DAWGS, A18

FROM DAWGS, A16 this year as a learning experience.” There is no time for competitors to rest during the SoCal Cycling League season. Each race course gets progressively more difficult, motivating the team to work harder, training all over the back trails of Ramona, riding before and after school, as a team, and on their own time. Head coach Robert Grace describes this year’s team as a tough group. He credits team sponsor Nite Rider lights for making the predawn and evening rides possible. “We are setting team goals to keep working hard and fighting for every position on race day,” said Grace. “Kids are riding with full back packs or adding ballast to improve strength with more core exercises this year.” The Cycle Dawgs will compete again on March 26 near Lake Isabella, east of Bakersfield. The “Cruise the Keys at Keyesville” event is presented by Haro Mountain Bikes. The Vista-based mountain bike company is sponsoring the Ramona Cycle Dawgs for the second year.

Bulldogs ‘hit the ground running’ BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High’s varsity boys swim team decisively beat El Capitan, 98-54, while the girls team fell to the Vaqueros, 80-90, in their March 8 away meet. Several teammates earned CIF consideration marks in their third meet of the season. During the first two meets Ramona senior Trevor White posted a CIF meet automatic qualifying time as did nine other Ramona swimmers, divers, or relay teams. The Bulldogs had meets March 1 at Grossmont High School and March 3 at Santana. "We were busy. We hit the ground running," said Ramona coach Jolyn Yanez. Ramona will compete in the Division II CIF meet while Grossmont is in Division I. The Foothillers won the boys portion of the March 1 meet by a 112-58 score and defeated the Ramona girls by a 116-47 margin. "They always have some kids who are pretty fast," Yanez said of Grossmont. "It's nice to push your team to see what they're capable of. It gives you kind of a broad range for the long term." Ramona's boys took first place in two of the 12 events. White's winning time in the 200-yard freestyle was 1:58.40 to qualify him for the CIF meet in that event. Dawson Webster

won the 100-yard freestyle in 51.81 seconds, which is a consideration time. Three Ramona girls bettered all of their Grossmont counterparts. The only consideration mark among those Ramona wins was the diving score of 154.40 points by senior Shannon Reiling. Ramona had the top three diving scores with Reiling’s win, Jessica Gallegos’ 134.05 points, and Kelsey Sherman’s 101.25 points. A time of 2:15.22 gave senior Maddie Schwegler first place in the 200-yard freestyle, and freshman Maya Magee won the 100-yard backstroke in 1:16.78. Webster finished second in the boys 100-yard backstroke with a consideration time of 1:04.20. All three boys relay teams posted consideration times against Grossmont despite second-place finishes in each of those races. The 200-yard medley relay team of Webster, Jacob Pradels, Jacob Powers, and White had a time of 1:51.26. Shane Chase, Joshua Ferry, Scott McClure, and Pradels comprised the 200-yard freestyle relay quartet which completed their race in 1:48.97. The 400-yard freestyle relay group of Powers, McClure, Webster, and White had a time of 3:42.31. Two of Ramona's girls relay teams had consideration times along with second-place finishes March 1. Katelynn Dodd, Samantha Goldstein, Trinity

Stewart, and Schwegler had a 200-yard medley relay time of 2:12.51. Stewart, Shannon Utech, Dodd, and Schwegler completed the 400-yard freestyle relay in 4:26.53. Santana gave both Ramona teams 0-2 season records with a 111-71 boys win and a 123-58 girls victory. "There were quite a few exciting races," Yanez said. Ramona won four boys races and the girls 400-yard freestyle relay at Santana. Mariah Campanella, Stewart, Dodd, and Schwegler improved Ramona's girls 400-yard freestyle relay consideration time to 4:25.63. Ramona's boys also won their 400-yard relay race. Powers, Ferry, Drake Stewart, and Webster posted a time of 3:55.85. Webster won the 100-yard freestyle race in 52.65 seconds, Powers was the 500-yard freestyle winner 5:46.06 after the race began, and Pradels had a winning time of 1:11.62 in the 100-yard breaststroke. Although Gallegos lost first place to a Santana diver, her second-place score of 161.50 points is a consideration figure. Magee, Goldstein, Trinity Stewart, and Schwegler improved Ramona's 200-yard medley relay consideration time to 2:11.34 while taking second place. Webster's second-place time of 1:03.09 in the 100-yard backstroke improved his consideration status.

Prep Baseball

Bulldogs win two of first three games BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's baseball team outscored the opposition by a 19-8 margin during the Bulldogs’ first three games that resulted in two victories and one defeat. The games were part of the Hilltop-Lolitas Tournament, which for Ramona will conclude with Thursday's match at Granite Hills. Ramona's season began March 7 at home against Bonita Vista High School, and the Bulldogs won, 6-0. Ramona junior Creede Jeffries was the Bulldogs' Opening Day starter. He threw

six innings and allowed only one hit and no walks while striking out six. "He just did a phenomenal job," said Ramona coach Dean Welch. Six different Ramona players each drove in one of Ramona's runs. Junior Tristan Stacy scored twice after garnering a double and two singles in four at-bats, and stealing two bases. Santana High School was the location of Ramona's March 9 game. The Bulldogs scored twice in the top of the fifth for a 6-3 lead, but the Sultans sent four runners across the plate in the bottom of the sixth

to conclude scoring for a 7-6 Santana victory. "We just didn't get the job done," Welch said. The March 11 game at Hilltop was a 7-1 Ramona triumph. Chris Bryant threw the first six innings for Ramona, and the senior allowed only six hits. "He was outstanding," Welch said. Derek Diamond and Bryce Roe led the Ramona offense March 11. Diamond, a sophomore, had two doubles and a single while driving in two teammates. Roe, a junior, had a double and a home run.

Prep Softball

Season begins with four wins Ramona High School's softball team won the first four games of the season. "I'm really excited for the year," said coach Kristina Wright. The four games were part of the Cougar Classic tournament and all were played at Kit Carson Park in Escondido. The first was a 5-2 victory March 7 against Carlsbad. "It definitely sets the tone for the whole season," said Wright.

Senior Hanah Bowen pitched the March 9 game against Rancho Buena Vista and had 14 strikeouts as well as a shutout win in the 2-0 game. Next came a 9-1 victory March 10 against Carlsbad. The winning pitcher was sophomore Avery Campa. Wright noted Campa's ability to throw change-ups as well as fastballs. Campa's pitching gave Bowen a day of

rest from the mound. Bowen returned to pitching March 12 against Poway, and the game ended with Ramona winning, 7-2. The Bulldogs' offense included a two-run home run by senior Jamie Roe. "They're doing a fantastic job of getting on base," said Wright. The Bulldogs have two North County Tournament games at Cardiff Sports Park on Saturday.

FROM HUNTER, A1 right in. I also want to support Indivisible," she said, referring to a nationwide movement that says it is concerned about civil liberties and the Trump administration. LaRosa was third in line and one of about 380 who were allowed inside the theater. Although the venue can accommodate around 400, officials said the fire marshal reduced that number for safety reasons. An overflow crowd gathered two blocks away at Collier Park where they could hear a live streaming of the meeting. For weeks Hunter, a Republican, had been pressured by members of Indivisible Ramona and other Indivisible groups in his 50th District to hold a town hall meeting, calling it an opportunity to highlight democracy in action. Constituents came from Ramona, Fallbrook, El Cajon, Santee, Escondido, and Julian. Many said they were with other Indivisible groups in the county. Conservatives and Ramona Tea'd members organized a counter-protest to show their support for Hunter and the new administration's policies and were happy with their turnout. "I think there are hundreds," Mary Moran said of those in the counter-protest after helping to set up a large sign with a photo of Hunter serving overseas as a lieutenant in the Marine Corps, saying “Our Hero.” As the line in front of the Mainstage grew, wrapping around to Sixth Street and stretching down the block, Hunter staff members passed out slips of paper for people to write their names and questions to ask. All the papers were gathered in a tub and in the meeting Dan Summers, a Ramona Tea’d member, drew three questions at a time and called out the names. Many of those called did not get into the Mainstage so were unable to ask their questions. Hunter was queried several times about health care and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). "I would like a full 100 percent repeal," Hunter said, but added that's not possible through the reconciliation process. "The repeal and replace as it stands now is OK," he said. Hunter said items such as keeping children on parents' health insurance until they're age 26 and covering pre-existing conditions without astronomical costs can stay, but he wants to allow insurance to cross state lines and eliminate the federal mandate. He called Obamacare "simply a takeover of our health care system” and said it has raised insurance costs and put people out of work. "Competition brings down prices, it brings up service, it brings up quality and it brings up accessibility," he said. He introduced Dr. James Veltmeyer, who ran against Susan Davis in the 53rd Congressional District, to speak about health care but the doctor was drowned out by opposition in the crowd. "It's your town hall," many kept shouting over and over. Later, when fielding another question about the future of health care, Hunter said, "We're not guaranteeing health care for everyone, we're guaranteeing access." When answering questions about immigration, Hunter said, "Let's put ourselves first for a change." He said the United States has given hundreds of millions of dollars to Mexico to try to help the country and has sent in military to train theirs to fight the cartels, "but they have to want to help themselves." The new travel ban that the administration is

Many inside the Ramona Mainstage hold up signs saying "disagree" in response to a comment made by Congressman Duncan Hunter. rolling out is better than the previous ban, he said, with six countries — Syria, Libya, Iran, Somalia, Yemen, and Sudan on the list. Iraq is not included because it can vet people leaving the country, he added. "Why not make Americans as safe as (we) possibly can?" he asked. One woman asked if he will oppose bills to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency and removal of EPA acts. Hunter said no. "Here's what the EPA has done, they've destroyed American business," he said, drawing a mixture of booing and cheering. Hunter said there is a way to have clean air and water. As people began to yell, Hunter said the most recent environmental disaster in San Diego came from Mexico dumping millions of gallons of sewage into the ocean and shutting down Imperial Beach. "If that was a U.S. company, they'd be charged $10,000 a day," Hunter said above the escalating dissent. "Because it's Mexico, no one seems to care about it." Asked about personal expenses on his campaign account, Hunter said those were mistakes by his campaign that he found out from a report and acknowledged he had not been watching closely enough. Hunter said he ordered an internal audit on the campaign account, paid everything back, and announced it before the election. "I take responsibility for it. I fixed it. And as far as I'm concerned, end of story," he said. He was later asked about his wife working for him and making a six-figure salary. Hunter said she got $3,000 a month as his campaign manager, not six figures, and is no longer drawing a salary. Gloria Chadwick, a registered nurse who worked for the Veterans Administration and is

Indivisible Ramona leader Susan Conrad talks with people in Collier Park. an elected director for the Grossmont Healthcare District, said she was startled by his “dishonorable conduct.” "You do not deserve to represent us...and because of your corruption, I'm going to run against you in 2018," Chadwick told Hunter. She was not the only one at the event who plans to run against him in the next election. Patrick Malloy, a Democrat who challenged Hunter in 2016, visited with people standing in line and said a representative should spend the bulk of his time speaking with his constituents. Ramona resident and Indivisible member Pierre “Pete” Beauregard told the Sentinel on Monday he also is throwing his hat in the ring to run against Hunter in 2018. One woman asked Hunter if he will commit to another town hall at a larger, more appropriate venue, in April. The congressman said he will, but could not yet commit to a specific month. Asked if he will vote for an independent investigation into Russian interference, Hunter

said he will look into it, but would not take part in a witch hunt by the Department of Justice or intelligence communities with "seditious Obama folks," to which the crowd responded with boos and cheers. He added there are thousands of Obama appointees "who hate Donald Trump as much as you do" and will try to take him down from the inside. After the town hall, Pat Kiernan of Ramona said he thought Hunter did well in expressing himself. "Basically what I saw here...was a lot of people didn't want to hear the message, they just wanted to vocally show their disapproval with their signs and everything else," said Kiernan. "But the truth is nobody was really hostile to each other out in the lines, they were very nice.” "I think there could have been less heckling," said Shelley Schwaesdall, who was with her friend Cindy Hasz. Both from Ramona, the two differ on the Affordable Care Act as Schwaesdall said it helped her when her husband became ill after she lost her job, and Hasz said it caused her premium to increase. Susan Conrad, who started Indivisible Ramona, said training was provided to Indivisible members to help de-escalate emotions and not engage in shouting or chanting that would incite opposing views. "I was extremely pleased with how well it went," said Conrad, who was at Collier Park during the town hall meeting. She also noted that she and others did not agree with Indivisible San Diego when it called the gathering at the park "Dirty Duncan Rally of the Excluded" on its calendar. Lt. Jerry Hartman of the sheriff's Ramona station said patrols were beefed up, but there were no physical confrontations and the event was mostly peaceful. There were some traffic issues with people along Main Street getting too close to cars, he noted. There were also no busloads of outsiders as some predicted. Representatives Darrell Issa and Susan Davis also conducted town hall meetings that day in the San Diego area.

Barnett Elementary celebrates 25th Birthday Bash in style

emories — past and present — took center stage at Barnett Elementary School’s 25th Birthday Bash. Food, games, photo booth, music, dancing, Bounce House, a Memory Wall, an array of recently unearthed 25-year-old time capsule items, and, of course, birthday cake were part of the celebration that filled the front grounds of Barnett off Couna Way on Friday evening.

Presented by Barnett Elementary PTA, the three-hour party found Principal Linda Marthis singing and dancing with students and parents to “Y.M.C.A.,” former students — now adults — visiting with Barnett classmates and introducing them to spouses, students jumping up and down as they pointed to yearbook photos of a parent or a current teacher who looked younger 25 years ago, and former employees reminiscing about their years at Barnett.

Sixth-grader Brianna Kneeshaw, member of the Barnett Yearbook Club, photographs scenes from the celebration for this year’s yearbook.

User Upload Caption: Dr. Joe Annicharico, Barnett Elementary’s first principal, and Robyn Puckett, the school’s first secretary, are among those at Barnett’s 25th Birthday Bash. Pictured with them are: teachers Lezlie Mitchell and Randy Schimpf, who have taught at the school since it opened; current Barnett teachers September Tamburrino, Robin Rhoades, Dallas Meadows, Jill Dillon, Lisa Morgan, Darcy Lantz, Jennifer Bement, Tori Barlow, Elissa Gibson, Cathy Harrington, and Dyan Winship; Barnett custodian Tammy Larson; Barnett special education aide Michelle Kneeshaw; Barnett campus safety officer Denise Dimmitt; past principal Rory O’Connor; and former Barnett employees Gina Walter, Patti Fox, Pixie Sulser, Karen Wagner, Pat Ravin, Karen Johnson, and Patty Antony.

Lindsay Dreyer, a 2005 Ramona High School graduate and 2005 Ramona Rodeo queen, points to her kindergarten photo in the yearbook. Her mother, Shirleen, worked with students in Barnett’s before- and after-school ESP program from 1992 -2010.

Justin Sturgeon points to a yearbook photo of his sister, Kristen Sturgeon, when she was in the first grade.

Fourth-graders Josie Harmon, Kayla Del Real, and George Ortega eye one of the Barnett birthday cakes before receiving their piece.

First-grader Jacey Morton poses for a father/daughter photo with her dad, Doug Morton, at the photo booth.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

Equestrians experience the scenic trails surrounding Warner Springs.

Horseback riding returns to Warner Springs Ranch Horseback riding has returned to Warner Springs Ranch Resort. The resort has partnered with Warner Valley Stables to provide the public with guided rides starting at the Warner Springs Ranch Resort Equestrian Center and continuing through the miles of scenic trails surrounding Warner Springs. Since acquiring the historic property in spring 2013, Warner Springs Ranch Resort, LLC has been planning and working to rejuvenate the resort. The first phase of renovations was reopening the Warner Springs Ranch Golf Club in

Follows renovated golf course November 2015 that includes an 18-hole golf course, golf clubhouse and restaurant, and the Warner Springs Ranch Grill. “We’re pleased to open this amenity and are already underway on the next phases of the renovation, including reopening the hot springs pool complex, the remainder of the Equestrian Center with riding lessons, wagon rides, and special horsemanship events, and portions of the resort itself,” said Fred Grand, resort president. Rides are available by advance reservation only.

Two-hour rides for two people include complimentary snacks and drinks. Riders of all ages and experience levels are welcome. Those interested in making a reservation may call Warner Valley Stables at 760-920-3852. Warner Springs Ranch Resort, which was founded as a working ranch in the mid-1800s and opened as a resort in the 1920s, included a 27,000-square-foot main lodge, 250 casita units, a 144-acre golf course and clubhouse, tennis courts, restaurants, a spa,

campgrounds, three swimming pools, a private airport and meeting facilities. The resort is being refurbished and reopened in phases. Beyond the resort, the property also includes a 240-acre public trust Cultural Preserve. For more information, visit www.warnerspringsranch resort.com

City News Service—The county’s annual auction of tax-defaulted properties is going online for the first time this year, said Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister. “With this new system, people sitting at home can browse and bid on more than 1,600 properties currently available, including timeshares starting at $900,” McAllister said. “The online auction aligns with our ‘e-nitiative’ to make it easier and more efficient to do all business with us electronically.” The online auction will take place May 5-10. The owners of the properties have been in arrears on their property taxes for five years or more, so the county is allowed to sell them to collect on the unpaid funds. Interested buyers may register as bidders beginning April 5, and registration will end April 27. Bidders must put up a $1,000 advance and a nonrefundable $35 bid processing fee. “Moving this tax sale online will cut our operation costs compared to a live auction,” said McAllister, who used to conduct the event at the San Diego Convention Center. “We also hope to sell more properties as we open the auction up to bidders outside the San Diego region — even around the world.” The number of properties is four times the normal amount, and more than 1,200 are timeshares, he said. Prospective bidders are encouraged to research the properties online at sdtreastax.com. Owners of the for-sale properties have until May 4 to pay the taxes and fees they owe. However, they generally fail to respond to final notices, McAllister said.
