Common Core State Standards: What are they? Editor’s note: Pixie Sulser, Ramona teacher who this year is working with the school district’s Education Services Department, primarily on getting the district and community ready for the Common Core State Standards, provides background and information about the new academic standards. She ends her analysis with where readers may find more information. By PIXIE SULSER Education is a topic, much like medicine, law or politics, on which everyone has an opinion and experience at some level. It is a topic that is easily discussed whether a person is at his or her own dinner
table or giving a political speech, often making it difficult to separate fact from opinion. According to Webster’s dictionary, an opinion is “A view or judgment formed about something not necessarily based on fact or knowledge,� while fact is “Knowledge or information based on real occurrences.� These definitions play an important role when discussing the Common Core State Standards in the current educational climate. Many hold opinions regarding the standards: how they were formed, why they were formed and what they mean for students. However, as defined by the dictionary, these opinions may not necessarily be based on fact or knowledge of the topic. So, if a fact
is based on real occurrences, what is factual about the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)? As most history teachers will say, to understand the present, it is often best to start in the past. Beginning with the establishment of the first school system in Massachusetts during the Colonial period, public education was a localized pursuit. The basic curriculum was reading, writing and mathematics, with concepts being taught in each of those subjects based on the experience of the teacher and the town in which the students lived. Localized education was the norm until, according to research pubSee COMMON CORE, page 2

to a baseball game,� she said. “You miss several plays because of the structure of that field.� The baseball field is “kind of short,� she said, “so balls will fly into the softball field.� Plans include a team room for softball players, who now put all of their equipment in the school office when they have games, “because there’s no other place at this point,� said McDonald. “This begins the process,� Assistant Superintendent David Ostermann said before trustees voted 5-0 to go to bid on the project. “If everything goes the way we think it should, then we can get this done over the summertime.� The county board of supervisors must approve the planning group’s
Accusations and a heated exchange among some members of the Ramona Municipal Water District board resulted in one director walking out of the meeting — for the second consecutive meeting. “This is getting to be repetitious,� said Director Rex Schildhouse as stood up after being stopped from proceeding with his director comments by Board President Darrell Beck and a ruling from legal counsel near the end of the March 11 meeting. “I’d like to get this subject onto the subject of directors’ comments and not an attack against the rest of us, Mr. Schildhouse,� said Beck. Schildhouse, however, claimed in his comments that he was the victim of an verbal attack by Beck and Director Joe Zenovic. The discord began at the board’s Feb. 11 meeting when Schildhouse complained that his agenda request related to board policies was not on the agenda and said Beck and General Manager David Barnum made that call. Barnum said Schildhouse’s questions referred to material in a board policy known as Policy 1, and Schildhouse had received a copy. At the Feb. 25 meeting Barnum included an agenda item asking whether the board wanted a Policy 1 workshop. That led to a statement

Ramona High School is one step closer to receiving funding for safety improvements at the school’s baseball and softball fields. At its March meeting, Ramona Community Planning Group recommended that the county release $100,000 of Park Land Dedication Ordinance funds that RHS baseball coach Dean Welch, who served to champion the Baseball/Softball Fencing and Dugouts project, had requested. The money would pay to relocate dugouts so they are at a safer distance, and add safety fencing, a snack bar, team rooms and connecting backstops. Planning group member Jim Cooper, who served as chair of the Parks and Recreation Subcommittee last year and initiated the call for PLDO projects, said this pro-
posal moved quickly to the phase where it is ready for funding. He credited Welch, noting that the coach had safety concerns for his players. According to Welch, the project is estimated to cost a total of $160,000, with $100,000 coming from PLDO funds and other money coming from fundraising efforts. At the December Ramona school board meeting, RHS softball coach Cori McDonald told trustees that about $50,000 is left from a grant received from county Supervisor Dianne Jacob several years ago for part of the renovation. The softball and baseball programs partner each year on a fundraising golf tournament, with proceeds going to the construction fund, she said. “I don’t know if you’ve ever been

lished by Stanford University, standardsbased educational reform came on the scene in 1956 with the publication of “Taxonomy of Educational Objectives” by Benjamin Bloom. His work stressed the importance of higher order thinking skills and was used as the foundation for the first standards-based reform called “Outcome Based Reform.” The seed of establishing national standards, however, grew more from a published set of standards for teaching mathematics developed in 1989 by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) than from Bloom’s work. The NCTM standards served as a model for standards development in other subjects. The federal government set its eye on educational reform during President George H.W. Bush's presidency when President Bush organized a bipartisan educational summit of the nation’s governors, laying the groundwork for the National Educational Goals. The group set six goals to improve education in America by the year 2000, thus the name, America 2000. The movement continued under President Clinton’s administration becoming known as Goals 2000: Educate America Act. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) came from the federal level in 2002 and specified what states must do to raise student achievement and improve the quality of teaching. What are they? That rapidly brings us to today — the time of Common Core State Standards (CCSS). So what are they exactly? The Commoncore.org website explains that the Common Core State Standards are ”designed to provide clarity and consistency in what is expected of student learning across the country by ensuring an equal opportunity for education regardless of where a student lives. The CCSS do not prevent different levels of achievement among students, but rather ensure more consistent exposure to materials and learning experiences through curriculum, instruction and teacher preparation.” In the past, standards were unique to each state. While this may sound like a good idea — each state taking care of its own (the localized approach) — the reality is that students often attend college
Students
or find work in areas other than where they attended primary and secondary school. Gaps began to be noticed, and the need for more educational consistency in today’s highly mobile society became evident. Who led them? The development initiative of the CCSS was led by the nation’s governors and education commissioners through the National Governors Association (NGA), an organization founded in 1908, and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), a nonpartisan, nationwide, nonprofit organization of public officials who head departments of elementary and secondary education in the states, the District of Columbia, the Department of Education and five U.S. extra-state jurisdictions, along with input from teachers, parents, school administrators and experts from across the country. The CCSS initiative started with English language arts and math because the skills students learn in those areas support all other curricular subjects. The actual drafting of the standards was a collaboration of teachers and experts across the country including the National Educational Education Association, American Federation of Teachers, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and National Council of Teachers of English. In developing the standards, expectations of postsecondary job training programs and credit bearing, entrylevel courses in two- and four-year colleges were used as a building platform. Two categories The published Common Core State Standards are divided into two categories, the first being K-12 standards that outline the grade by grade expectations for student learning and results necessary for students to be college or career ready. The second category is based on college and career readiness standards that focus on what students are expected to know when they enter a college, technical school or career. The standards do not “tell” a classroom teacher exactly what must be taught or what materials must be used. Instead, they provide a clear expectation for what each student must know to leave school prepared for college or career. The published Appendices to the
Standards provide suggestions of exemplar texts, however, in most school districts, the actual curriculum is determined at the local level with the guidance of school administration and the school board. In other words, teachers are not required to use any particular, mandated text, however they are expected to follow the guidelines established by their school district. English language arts In English language arts, the standards call for an increase in the student reading of non-fiction or informational text, while maintaining a focus on student exposure to fiction. It is recommended that by grade 4, students are reading 50% informational text (which includes their reading in science, social studies, math) and 50% fictional material. By the time a student reaches 12th grade their reading should be 70% informational (again considering reading in all academic areas) and 30% fictional material. Mathematics In mathematics, the Standards create a math progression focused on preparing students to be college and career ready after 12th grade, but also include enough flexibility to allow advanced students to study harder topics earlier. Prior to the introduction of CCSS, each state covered different mathematical topics at different grade levels. The CCSS guarantees that topics will move up or down in the grade level sequence, that the progression will be mathematically coherent and will lead to college and career readiness at an internationally competitive level. Other subjects Common state standards are being developed in other curricular areas, but the development efforts are not being led by the National Governors Association (NGA) or the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The creation of the recently released Next Generation Science Standards was managed by the Achieve organization with the assistance of the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages published an alignment with the National Standards
for Learning Languages with the ELA CCSS, and the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards is leading the revision of the National Standards for Arts Education. Standards in Social Studies are also on the horizon. Accountability, assessment Accountability or assessment has always been a part of education in some form or another. How can the strengths and weaknesses of a program be determined without accountability over time? Just as each state had its own set of established curriculum standards, each state also had its own yearly assessment process. Sharing common standards also means having a common assessment. Two consortia of states are developing common assessments. One is the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC), and the other, the consortia that includes California, is the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC). Who decides? Brought down to the most basic level: the standards are not a curriculum, but are instead a clear set of shared goals and expectations for what knowledge and skills will help students succeed. It will be the local teachers, principals, superintendents and school boards who will decide the how in terms of classroom instruction and activities and the what in terms of materials. Many people ask, “Where is the textbook? How will teachers know what to teach?” The CCSS themselves guide educators as to what to teach, not textbooks. Textbooks are created by publishers to match what is trending in education and are an instructional resource. Money Changes of this magnitude require funding. California awarded districts one-time funding to be spent on professional development, materials and technology needed to help them prepare their sites and their personnel for implementing the CCSS. The roll-out plan for the CCSS in Ramona can be reviewed on the RUSD website under Common Core Resources. Additionally, the public has access to each and every standard for K-12 on the RUSD website and the California Department of Education website.

is to learn a second language. Martinez, speaking in Spanish, reviewed the students’ achievements and how they went from being English language learners to being fluent in English. “Reaching the milestone or being
designated as a fully English proficient student is quite an accomplishment and takes dedication and hard work,” said Long. As parents and siblings watched, Long presented each student with a certificate congratulating them for PL ED SECO ND VOT

Third time’s a charm for bond consultant contract It took three meetings, but it’s done. Ramona Unified School District has a contract with a bond consultant to determine if voters are ready for another bond bid in November. In two previous meetings, trustee Bob Stoody refused to support a con-
tract until he was comfortable with all contingencies. “I needed to make sure ... that I could hand a contract to the community and know that it was livable, know that it was in the best interest of the district and was a fair contract,� he said last
For the record An article in last week’s Sentinel included the incorrect number of teaching jobs receiving preliminary layoff notices this month. The preliminary notices affect 12 teachers, said
Assistant Superintendent Tony Newman. He explained that, among other factors, some of the teachers in the two resolutions approved by the school board are included in both resolutions.

from Beck about the 1986-87 and 1990-91 county grand jury investigations into the water board due to conflicts of interest and violations. The first county grand jury report was the catalyst for Policy 1. Schildhouse finds flaws with sections of Policy 1, pointing out what he believes are discrepancies and lack of detail or clarification. On March 11 Schildhouse said the board
Thursday, adding, “I believe we have that.� Based on his concerns in February, Stoody and board president Dawn Perfect met with Superintendent Robert Graeff and Assistant Superintendent David Ostermann to discuss revisions to the original proposal. After consulting with another bond adviser and an attorney, they presented revisions at a special meeting March 5. Among changes were a fee reduction and leaving leeway for the district to change advisers. Stoody came to the sec-
ond meeting with another concern, saying he had thought of it that day. “I’m trying to think of every single contingency,� he said. His concern was that, without specific language, the district would be tied to the consultant — Urban Futures Inc. — for five years. “I don’t know that we want to be tied that way,� he said, persuading fellow trustees to table action until their March 13 meeting. He thanked the other trustees, staff and Jon Isom, Urban Futures’
1 material. Schildhouse claimed there was a synchronized attack against him, similar to one against Director Kit Kesinger, who has not attended a meeting since April 2013 because he cannot make the 2 p.m. meeting time. Meetings, held the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, were held at 4:30 p.m. when Kesinger was elected in 2010. Throughout the March 11 meeting Schildhouse
did not cast a vote on agenda items, but said “not voting� when called upon. With Kesinger absent, that leaves three of the five directors voting: Beck, Zenovic and George Foote. Schildhouse submitted a letter to Beck during directors’ comments, saying he is resigning from all his responsibilities with the district other than his position as Division III director. The resignations include his office as board treasurer and membership on ad hoc subcommittees. Although he asked Beck to sign the letter, Beck sought opinion from legal counsel, adding, “I’ve let Mr. Schildhouse stand here and accuse me of lying, and I take that personally.� Attorney Jim Gilpin with Best Best & Krieger LLP, said directors’ comments should be confined to business of the district and no action or discussion could take place on items raised in this portion of the meeting. He suggested all board members get a copy of Schildhouse’s letter to be reviewed at a subsequent meeting. Schildhouse said he could not give his direc-

Recall that no one even asked what the question was nor what the follow-on questions were,� he said. Zenovic had called Schildhouse’s requests “a cry for help� at the Feb. 25 meeting, suggesting the director had not read or understood the Policy

recommendation before the money is released. “Although the funding is still in the finalization stage, in order to break ground at the end of the current baseball and softball seasons, the bidding
process should begin now,� reads Ostermann’s December report . In the event funding from the county is uncertain, going out to bid “doesn’t commit us to anything,� he said.

managing director, for their patience and willingness to work with him. “It’s good to have that done,� Perfect said after trustees unanimously approved the contract. The agreement tasks Urban Futures with conducting an opinion poll of Ramona voters to explore the feasibility of a bond and to recommend what that bond may look like. Will it be a bond to improve school facilities and/or will its purpose be to reduce or eliminate payments on a $25 million loan, called certificates of participation, that a previous board approved. With interest, the district owes about $34 million if the loan were paid off today, according to district reports. The consultant also will
assist a campaign committee, oversee the sale of bonds and provide required disclosures if the district proceeds with a bond and voters approve it. The district will pay $3,000 from its general fund for the survey. Preelection expenses will be paid with closing of the first series of bonds. The adviser will receive $75,000 for the first series of bonds and $70,000 — $5,000 less than in the original proposal — for each subsequent series of bonds sold. The district may terminate the contract at any time after the survey if it doesn’t put a bond on the November ballot, after an unsuccessful bond bid or after the sale of the first series of bonds. —Maureen Robertson

Beck then referred to an 11-page response from legal counsel as to whether Schildhouse was in violation because he sought opinion from legal counsel on Policy 1 matters, and suggested the board form an ad hoc committee on the issue. Beck said he would like to have Zenovic serve on the ad hoc committee with him. Gilpin said that forma-
tion of an ad hoc committee should be presented at a subsequent meeting. In action during the meeting, three directors gave authorization to purchase a replacement motor from Brithinee Electric Company of Colton for about $65,000, and a replacement pump from Hidden Valley Pump Systems for approximately $42,000 for the Poway Pump Station. Both purchases will come from the Water-Capital Replacement Projects fund.

Third wireless provider opens shop in Ramona market By JESSICA KING The trek to an AT&T store is much shorter for Ramona residents these days now that the wireless provider’s new authorized retail shop in the Stater Bros. shopping center is open for business. Prior to its recent opening, the closest AT&T shops to Ramona could be found in Poway or Escondido. “We’re happy to be up here,” said Assistant Manager Thomas Collins. “Anything AT&T related, we’re happy to take care of, whether it’s an existing customer who needs help

Assistant Manager Thomas Collins of the new AT&T store says there’s no need for customers to go “down the hill” now that the one-stop shop is open for business.
with their phone’s battery or someone looking to sign up for service for the first time.’’ Situated at 1662-C Main St., AT&T filled a space previously occupied by All About Beauty, next to Ramona Eye Care and Pizza Hut. It is the third wireless shop in Ramona, joining Cricket, which is also in the Stater Bros. shopping center, and Verizon Wireless near McDonalds. Competition among wireless providers is stiff, concedes Collins, adding that AT&T is ready to compete in all of its offerings, which include smartphones, tablets, pre-
paid phones, basic and messaging phones, and TV and Internet service. The new shop brings with it new employment opportunities, though few at first. In addition to Collins, the Ramona location employs a store manager, two sales associates and a sign spinner for a total of five new local jobs. Collins said more jobs may be added in the future as the shop gets more business to warrant the extra help. The shop is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

Robert Wrigley Mom says “Reputations take years to build and can be ruined overnight.” What people say about your business determines whether someone wants to buy from you. Regular readers know my daughter’s doing the college dance. In the process, we’ve attended college fairs and collected catalogs, pens and thumb drives from roughly 260 potential suitors. Each offers a smooth sales pitch and attractive brochures projecting a (hopefully) irresistible image. We, in turn, are struggling to separate the wheat from the chaff with a target goal of eight applications. Interestingly, I’ve never seen promotional materials from Curtis Institute of Music. For the uninitiated, Curtis (Think Juilliard, but without the attitude) has the lowest acceptance rate of any U.S. university. Besides providing a topnotch education, they are also tuition-free for all 165
a reputation for superior quality, exclusivity and real value, and thus needs nothing more than a website to market itself. Droves of potential customers seek them out, and the school chooses to whom they’ll sell. It’s an enviable position, no? It’s akin to the reputation Rolls Royce has in the automotive industry. You never see a Rolls in a TV advertisement, with the exception of co-starring with a jar of Grey Poupon mustard. Rolls Royce cultivates an air of exclusivity and leaves discounts, commercials and zero percent financing promotions to mass market brands. Here’s how reputation can drive YOUR sales efforts. A consultant friend used to see his services as a commodity and his client roster had dwindled to two firms. Then he began telling sales prospects he only had room for three new
ly folks clamored for his attention. He recently raised h i s prices, is now Rob Weinberg making more money while working less, and has discovered: •Potential clients save money to work with him, believing he’s worth the investment; and •More people, feeling he’s a winner, seek him out for advice or friendship. “Someone somewhere will always sell my kind of services for less, so I used my reputation to stand out,” he says now. It’s something to consider while growing your own business. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Reach Mr. Marketing at www.askmrmarketing. com.

St. Patrick’s Day Pot of Gold raises $258 for school roofs A four-hour event featuring live music, corned beef sandwiches, peanuts, chips, beer and desserts boosted the coffers of three Ramona charities: Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS), Ramona Pony Baseball, and the Neighborhood CrossFit Tatas. ChuckAlek Independent Brewers hosted the St. Patrick’s Day Pot of Gold for Charity on Saturday evening. Greeting
guests entering the business at 2330 Main St., Suite C, were FORUS members with packaged peanuts and chips — and a donation jar. The donations will go toward the pending nonprofit’s efforts to plug leaks on the roofs of Ramona’s public schools. With the approval of Ramona Unified School District’s maintenance supervisor, FORUS will pay for roof repairs that
started after the recent rainstorm and continued this week. Jim Brown of Brown Roofing and Construction estimated the repairs at $7,000 to $10,000. FORUS members set an initial goal of $20,000 for roof repairs. Donations so far are $10,151.84, the group’s treasurer, Carmen Bedia, reported Saturday evening. Of that, $225.84 went into the donation jar during the Pot of Gold

Ramona landscaper wins awards at Garden Masters show By KAREN BRAINARD For the sixth consecutive year, Ramona landscaper Scotty Ensign was invited to participate in the Garden Masters exposition at the San Diego Spring Home and Garden Show and, as in the past, he walked away with awards. “I’ve won a different award every year,� said the owner of Scotty’s Plantscapes. For his Italian-themed garden at this year’s show, held Feb. 28 to March 2, Scotty won Best Intimate
Garden and Best Educational Signage, along with Perfect Nomenclature recognition. Participation in the Garden Masters is invitation-only. This year 17 landscapers were in the exposition, featuring full-scale individual-themed gardens. The landscapers have only 3 1/2 days before the show to assemble their gardens. “It’s a lot of work. You have to be a master at what you do to be able to create a garden that we produce in three days,� said Scotty. “Scotty was born to do this,� said his wife, Rose, who assists him each year. “I love it. It’s a wonderful thing to dive into because it’s creative.� The couple’s garden this year was titled “Bella Vista� and included
a sunken entertainment area with a home theater. “Let yourself take in the flavors of Italy and let it inspire your creativity to come out,� the Ensigns wrote about their design. “This year’s display reminds us to take in our surroundings and let it inspire us to feel like we do when we’re travelling on vacation, when we let our hair down, play and express our creative side.� Incorporated into Bella Vista were a wooden pergola with bougainvillea climbing the posts, a fire ring, a water feature with a disappearing pond, country manor walls and a stone-top tumbled paver patio, a flagstone walkway with Dymondia groundcover in its joints, landscape lighting, and Italian-themed droughttolerant plants. The show is hosted by

the San Diego Horticulture Society so education is a important part of the display, noted Rose. Landscapers must meet certain criteria with signage identifying plants.
Besides including the genus and species names of each plant, Rose added information such as care and growing habit. The extra effort paid off as the Ensigns were rec-
ognized for “Perfect Nomenclature.� Although setting up the garden is a lot of work, Rose noted that they have involved other family members and it becomes a special time for all of them to work side by side for three days. Scotty seems to thrive on developing innovative gardens. “Last year I built a gold mine,� he said, explaining his garden focused on the gold rush days and even included a Model T. Even more unusual was his creation in the 2012 Garden Masters when he took his inspiration from “The Hobbit� by producing the home of Bilbo Baggins. Among the Ensigns’ contributors this year were Ramona businesses Ransom Brothers Lumber and Rudi Stockalper Company.

Ramona resident and cancer survivor Darlene Scott is American Cancer Society Ramona Relay for Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 Honorary Survivor of Hope. Scott, who moved to Ramona with her husband Mark and their children in 2000, was diagnosed with breast cancer when her youngest child was 3 months old. This year that child will be 18 years old. Each birthday celebration of his is also a celebration of another year of survival for her. Her family now includes grandchildren. A renewed appreciation of life, family, laughter and the hope she offers those battling cancer make every day as a survivor a blessing and a gift, relay participant Tina DeStefano said in the statement announcing
Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection as Honorary Survivor of Hope. Both of Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents and her sister died of cancer. These losses profoundly impacted her as she vowed to join The American Cancer Society in the ďŹ ght to eliminate cancer and celebrate more birthdays. Before the loss of her sister in 2012, Scott became a caretaker as well
as a survivor. In addition, she has offered hope and support to many close friends who have had to battle cancer. She said she has a special bond with each of her survivor friends and families, including her mother-inlaw and sister-in-law. This will be her ďŹ fth year walking in Ramona Relay For Life. She will be walking in memory of Ra-
mona resident and friend Carla Schuler. She said Schuler was and always will be a continued inspiration in her life. Scott walks in memory of loved ones who have lost their battle, in honor and support of those battling cancer, and in unity and friendship with fellow survivors. She and Ramona Relay For Life organizers invite

Ramona woman dies in Wildcat Canyon Road head-on collision A 53-year-old Ramona woman died from injuries suffered in a head-on collision on Wildcat Canyon Road on Saturday evening. Graciela Bustos was a passenger in a Nissan sedan that was struck by a Ford Expedition marked Barona Tribal Security at 15050 Wildcat Canyon Road at 6:39 p.m., California Highway Patrol reported. The SUV was southbound at 25 to 40 mph and the Nissan was northbound at about 35 mph when the driver of the SUV allowed his vehicle to drift over the solid double-yellow lines, causing the front of his vehicle to strike the Nissan head on, CHP Officer Kevin Pearlstein reported. The Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driver, 49-year-old Jose Bustos Ramirez of Ramona, and Bustos were taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital, where Bustos was pronounced dead about an hour after the crash, authorities said.
The driver of the Expedition, 27-yearold Andres De La Paz Toro of San Diego, had cuts to his right arm and also was treated at Sharp Memorial, the CHP said. Bustos Ramirez suffered major injuries, said Pearlstein. Ramona Fire Department was among emergency crews at the scene. Cal Fire Capt. Robert Ramirez with the Ramona department said the collision occurred about half mile from the Barona Drag Strip. Bustos was unconscious and unresponsive, and the male was conscious when paramedics arrived, reported Ramirez. Paramedics started CPR on Bustos, and Barona paramedics transported her to the hospital, he said. Lakeside paramedics transported Bustos Ramirez to Sharp Memorial Hospital. Cause of the collision is being investigated. Neither drugs nor alcohol were believed to be a factor, the CHP said. California Highway Patrol closed Wildcat Canyon Road at San Vicente Road in Ramona and at the Barona Casino entrance in Lakeside while they conducted their initial investigation.

Ali Crumpacker, director of the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in Ramona, will talk about the center when the San Vicente Valley Club meets on March 26. The luncheon meeting will be in San Vicente Resort, 24157 San Vicente Road. Cost is $12, and reservations are requested by March 21 at the front desk of the resort or by calling Maxine McNamara, 760-788-6189. The wildlife center, founded in 1984, is one of the animal care centers in the country operated by the Humane Society of the United States. The center provides year-round medical and rehabilitative care to ill, injured or orphaned predatory species of wildlife such as eagles, raptors, bobcats, cougars and coyotes. Its goal is to return the them to the wild. The center rehabilitates nearly 500 animals each year. Its staff and volun-
teers also maintain the center’s 75 resident animals, many of whom were used by people to turn profits for entertainment in the exotic pet trade, according to Crumpacker. Because these animals were born in captivity and/or raised by humans, they cannot be returned to the wild and thus remain in the center. The club’s check-in and social time will start at 11 a.m., meeting call to order at 11:30 a.m., luncheon at noon and program at 1 p.m. The nonprofit organization welcomes all Ramona residents and holds an annual fundraiser that benefits student scholarships and community needs. Among the club’s other interest groups are Book Marks, Bridge Marathon, Lunch Bunch, Friends of Ramona Library and Bunco. Those interested in membership information may call McNamara.

National Medal of Honor Day By HAROLD SCHACHTER Most Americans, in fact most people reading this article, probably hadn’t known that our federal government had set aside a day to honor those men and a woman who’ve received our nation’s highest award for military valor in combat — the Medal of Honor. That day is March 25 of each year. The Congressional legislation that created the National Medal of Honor Day is Public Law 101564. This Tuesday, March 25, will be the 24th annual National Medal of Honor Day, so the Public Law that created it has been in effect for almost a quarter of a century. It began as House Resolution 652 during the 101st Congress. Representative Rod Chandler, representing the 8th Congressional District in the state of Washington,
sponsored the bill. His bill had 151 co-sponsors from both the House and the Senate. Introduced on Sept. 24, 1990, the bill became law on Nov. 15, 1990. President George Herbert Walker Bush signed it into law, and the first National Medal of Honor Day was March 25, 1991. Why March 25? March 25, 1863, was the date that the first medals of honor were awarded to six Union volunteers from Ohio. These medals were bestowed by then Secretary of War Edwin McMasters Stanton. The Congressional legislation that legalized the creation of the Navy Medal of Honor was approved on Dec. 21, 1861, and signed into law by then President Abraham Lincoln. The Army’s Medal of Honor was created on See SCHACHTER page 9

GUEST COMMENTARY
How to cripple Main Street business and destroy land values, way of life By DIANE CHAPMAN If you live in Ramona, the Southern Bypass will affect you. As I read more about this project and after to speaking to citizens who live on Keyes Road and the surrounding area as well as various businesses on Main Street, there appeared to be one gaping question. WHY? The following highlights why this project must be taken off the
county’s Top Ten Road Projects for Ramona. Main Street Businesses The most obvious problem with this plan is the devastation it would create on the businesses along Main Street. With traffic flowing around Main Street, the decrease in potential customers, especially in tough economic times, would put many out of business. This plan was rejected in the mid-1990s by the Ramona Community

Planning Group but with the current makeup of the Ramona Community Planning Group it has found favor. As I handed out information sheets about the bypass to many business owners on Main Street, the overwhelming question was “Why? We depend on this traffic for our livelihood. Why would they do this to us?” We have heard our Chamber of Commerce state that they want Ramona to become a “destination” point. They have been silent on this matter and I hope to hear them support the very people who create the destination. Adjacent Homes and Communities Quiet rural areas in the valley would experience See CHAPMAN page 9
Last Thursday the Ramona school board decided that the education of my children was not their top priority. Given a choice they decided to cut a core teacher from our school teaching staff instead of cutting a luxury resource — a resource that is not required by state law to be in any California school, a resource that currently is dedicated to our school program, a resource that the teachers and parents agreed should be sacrificed given the hard choice forced on us by budget cutting. John Rajcic spoke in favor of the proposal from our school, but Dawn Perfect, Bob Stoody, Rodger Dohm and Kim Lasley refused to support our community proposal. Our school was not allowed to willingly give up our portion of a luxury resource to save a core teaching position. The Ramona school board offered no explanation for this puzzling decision. We offered to help them find a solution that was best for our children and they refused to work with our school community. I cannot trust the Ramona school board to listen to reason nor can I trust them with one more penny of my hard-earned money. When a vote for a new bond measure comes up, I will be voting no.

devastation of business and property values, the southern bypass will take our eyes off the more critical traffic and growth problems in Ramona. The Montecito Ranch and Cumming Ranch developments will mean significant traffic loads onto 67 and getting into and out of Ramona. The focus should be on improving Highway 67 and addressing the growth from the new residential areas.

Honor recipients were veterans of the United States Army and all had been awarded the Army’s Distinguished Service Cross, our nation’s second highest military award for gallantry and valor as demonstrated by the recipients’ actions in combat against an enemy. The president was presenting an upgraded award for gallantry and valor from the Distinguished Service Cross to the Medal of Honor. The upgrade was a reflection of the denial of awarding the Medal of Honor to deserving veterans on the basis of bias because of their respective race or ethnicity, some for as long as scores of years. Of the 24 Medal of Honor recipients, only three were still alive. While less than 18 percent of all Medal of Honor awards have been posthumous, more than 84 percent of all posthumous awards have occurred since the start of World War II. There are presently 77 living re-
cipients of the Medal of Honor of which only seven served in World War II, even though more than 470 medals of honor were awarded for combat action during World War II. The oldest living Medal of Honor recipient is Robert Dale Maxwell, 93, who was born in Boise, Idaho, on Oct. 26, 1920. All recipients of the Medal of Honor prior to World War II are deceased. As Vietnam War recipient Drew Dennis Dix has stated, “When you get ready to make that complete sacrifice, you’re not doin’ it for your country. You’re doin’ it for the one on your left and the one on your right.” Come Tuesday, March 25, let us honor and remember those who possessed such extraordinary valor in combat and thereby earned our nation’s highest award for military valor — the Medal of Honor. Harold Schachter is a Ramona resident.

County seeks ideas on storm water quality We (Rick Engineering Company) are working with the County of San Diego and trying to get the word out about potential storm water quality improvement projects. Here is a copy of our current web-based Public Notice: The County of San Diego needs your help in identifying potential storm water quality improvement projects. Recently adopted regulations require that the county identify and pursue a variety of onthe-ground projects to improve regional storm water quality. The first step in this process is to assess and locate potential projects that could be implemented. Project types that may be considered include, but are not necessarily limited to: -Stream or riparian area rehabilitation -Retrofitting existing infrastructure (Green
Streets, Low Impact Development, Treatment); -Regional BMP’s (best management practices for stormwater treatment basins); -Groundwater recharge projects (infiltration basins); -Water supply augmentation projects (large cisterns); and -Land purchases to preserve floodplain functions. Project suggestions will be accepted until March 28. Go to www.projectcleanwater.org for more information. Anyone wishing to provide input should visit www.rickengineering. com/sdcwmaa and use the online interactive mapping tool or printable form to submit your candidate project. Your submission could be the next great idea to improve our water quality. Thank you for your participation in this effort. Christy Franco Rick Engineering San Diego

July 12, 1862, and the Air Force Medal of Honor was created on April 14, 1965. Coast Guard and Marine Corps recipients receive the Navy Medal of Honor. Pvt. Jacob Wilson Parrott (July 17, 1843 to Dec. 22, 1908), then 19 years old, was the first Medal of Honor recipient. He was the youngest surviving member of “Andrew’s Raiders,” volunteers who had penetrated nearly 200 miles into Confederate territory to steal a steam locomotive, the “General,” with the mission of destroying Confederate trackage from Big Shanty, Ga., to Chattanooga, Tenn. Since Parrott received the first Medal of Honor, about 3,490 have been awarded. On March 18, 2014, at a White House ceremony, President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to 24 veterans of World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

tremendous volumes of traffic, noise and pollution that they haven’t experienced before. This would open these areas to industrialization and development. Can you imagine if your area was targeted to divert weekend traffic going to Julian or the desert through your rural area, an area you had every right to expect would stay rural and not have a 50 mph roadway on your street or near your home. And you certainly would not expect to bear the burden of this foreign traffic flow from outside our area. Property owners as well as business owners will have to disclose this bypass if they intend to sell. Longer and More Time Consuming Route This proposed bypass is about one third longer, and there will be a comparable number of traffic stops. So this route will take traffic longer to cross Ramona than Main Street. That is not an improvement. And most likely, it will not be used for the small population of people it was intended to serve, and thus will be a huge waste of time and money.

Robert Pucillo 1953 – 2014 Robert “Bob” Joseph Pucillo, born on February 28, 1953, passed away at his home in Ramona, CA, on March 6, 2014. Bob was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, then he and his family moved to Monrovia, CA, where he would grow up and meet
and marry his wife of forty years, Anna. He attended Monrovia High and graduated in 1971. He used his skills learned to work his way from Junior Buyer at Teledyne to Executive Vice President of the Ensenada Zircon Plant. His hard work ethic and desire to learn more never faulted throughout the years. He was always ready to learn something new and that was a trait that he passed on to his children. Robert and Anna were married on March 2, 1974. They met through a mutual friend in the neighborhood and were high school sweethearts, loving each other more throughout the years and memories. Robert enjoyed the outdoors and loved to camp, hike, run, bike and participate in marathons. He also enjoyed doing yard-work, listening to music, and spending time with his family.
Robert was very involved with youth soccer; working as president for two terms for the Ramona Soccer League where he also coached multiple teams at once. He enjoyed spending time tanning at the Country Club pool, playing volleyball at Ramona Oaks Park, and golfing at the San Vicente Club. Robert is survived by his wife, Anna; brother, Richard; children, Joshua, Jacob and Jody; as well as his two granddaughters, Mikayla “Gracie” and Eleanora “Ellie”. He is also survived by many in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends who love him immensely. Memorial services were held at the family home on Sunday, March 9, 2014, where we all shared stories and celebrated the man, the myth, the legend that was Robert J. Pucillo.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Excellentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pitching gives Bulldogs 3-1 record By BILL TAMBURRINO The Bulldog baseball team opened the season in the Pirate-Falcon tournament, held March 8 through 15, and coach Dean Welch is pleased with his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first week of play. The Dawgs are 3-1. Traditionally, teams coached by Welch are known for their hitting. However, so far this season Ramonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitching is what is carrying the Bulldogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our pitching has been excellent,â&#x20AC;? said Welch. Kyle Wilson has two wins. Even when he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have his best stuff, he still makes great pitches when he has to. Blake
Workman drew the start against one of the best teams in the state and pitched well. We made some errors behind him and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hang his head. He just bore down and did the job. "Dylan Spacke has turned in some impressive outings, especially for a sophomore. And CJ (Broussard) turned in a quality performance. Zach Sherman came in in relief and picked up a big win.â&#x20AC;? Welch added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very pleased to be 3-1 against great teams, some of which are twice our size. This is the point of the season where we have to identify our mistakes and iron them out

By BILL TAMBURRINO The Bulldog golf team enjoyed a good week as it beat Steele Canyon, San Pasqual and Vista in non-league matches to improve its record to 4-1 on the season. “Senior Ryan Graf was the medalist in two of the three matches,” said coach Michael Gainey. “This brings his medalist total to three in the first two weeks of competition. As a team we are off to a great start and have two more non-league matches coming up this week.” Ryan Graf only played in two matches last week. Against Steele Canyon March 10 at San Vicente Golf Course, Graf fired a two-under-par 34 on the front nine in a 211-236 Bulldog victory. Freshman Cameron Marshall carded a 40.

Ramona High School’s girls track and field team opened its season March 13 at home with a win over Rancho Buena Vista. The Bulldogs took firstplace points in 11 of the 16 events and swept both hurdles races. “It was nice to get a win in the first meet for the girls,” said coach Sherri Edwards. “I was pleased with the way that the kids competed.” Both of the hurdles races were won by sophomore Emily Sojourner,
who took 17.83 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles and 51.86 seconds in the 300-meter race.

High school swim season opens
Bulldog boys start off with two wins Girls score a victory By JOE NAIMAN
The 400-yard freestyle race concludes a high school meet, and the 3:31.25 posted by Pasqualini, Silva, Davison and Glaudini gave Ramona the deciding points while also giving the Bulldogs a CIF meet consideration time in that event. Glaudini won his two individual races while posting automatic qualifying times in both. He took 49.19 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle and 58.00 seconds in the 100-yard backstroke. Silva also won two individual races, both with consideration times, as well as two relay races. He finished the 200-yard individual medley in 2:10.17 and the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:03.06. Davisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breaststroke
Ramona High's boys swim team began the 2014 season with victories March 7 at Santana High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pool and March 12 in a tri-meet at Grossmont High School. The Bulldogs defeated Santana by a score of 8783. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled to start off with a win,â&#x20AC;? said coach Jolyn Yanez. In the 200-yard medley relay Ramonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quartet of Garrett Glaudini, Carlo Silva, Luca Pasqualini and Cory Davison not only won the four-stroke race but also posted an automatic qualifying time for the CIF meet by completing the competition in 1:47.66.

Ramonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200-yard freestyle relay team of Tyler Crouch, Ethan Blackburn, Jacob Powers, and Spencer Schwegler finished second, but earned a consideration time of 1:47.85.

Softball's Davis hot at bat in Cougar Classic Lacrosse coaches pleased By BILL TAMBURRINO The Bulldog girls softball team picked up its first win of the season in the Cougar Classic last week, but lost three games to finish the tournament with a 1-4 record. “It is very early in the season,” said coach Cori McDonald. “We are trying out some different options and working through some things. I have total confidence in this group of young ladies. I see us doing very well as the season progresses.” Lauren Meitzler pitched well in a 4-3 loss to Carlsbad. The freshman hurler pitched four-plus innings and gave up four runs on four hits with one strike out. Hanah Bowen finished the game in the circle and did not give up

By BILL TAMBURRINO The Bulldog tennis team had a tough time last week with two losses. They played two of the toughest teams in the San Diego Section, Canyon Crest and Carlsbad, and had to play without their No. 1 singles player, Christian Failla. Failla is out with an arm injury with no definite prognosis yet. “Canyon Crest has a lot of talent and has a very deep lineup,” said coach Rose Darrough. “We played much better against Carlsbad but our lineup was weaker without Christian. Against Canyon Crest we had to default 3 points because I only found out about Christian’s injury just before the match and our JV

Injured player weakens tennis team’s lineup
Boys track and field loses to Longhorns By JOE NAIMAN
in the distance medley relay with Gabe Valencia running the 1,200-meter portion, Austin Minnocci handling the 400-meter segment, Meskell taking the 800-meter leg, and Edwards anchoring the race with the 1,600-meter completion. Ramona’s 1:44.92 in the freshman-sophomore sprint relay involved Michael Hensley and Ian Cirillo running 100-meter segments, Danny Edwards sprinting for 200 meters, and Parker Christopher holding the baton for 400 meters. Binkley was Ramona’s top individual finisher, placing sixth in the open long jump with 19 feet. Eder Landgrave placed 14th with 5:03.94 in the freshman mile. The Bulldogs travel to Westview High for Thursday’s dual meet. Torrey Pines High School hosts the Falcon Relays Saturday.

The first track and field meet of the season for Ramona High School’s boys was a loss at home March 13 against the Rancho Buena Vista Longhorns. “The boys competed well. We weren’t as deep as they were,” said coach Sherri Edwards. The Bulldogs took firstplace points in two of the track events and two field events. Ramona had the top two positions in the long jump; junior track and field newcomer Garrett Binkley had a winning distance of 19 feet 4 inches in his first high school meet while Garrett Dart began his senior year with a jump of 18 feet 9-1/2 inches. Ramona’s other field event winner was Brandon Hankins, who cleared 10 feet 6 inches in the pole vault for his first high school victory.
Max Edwards completed the 1,600-meter run in 4:40.66 to give Ramona the 5 points for first place. Ramona’s James Meskell took third place in that race with a time of 4:50.73. Ramona’s other winner was Christian Dominguez, who finished the 200-meter dash in 23.99 seconds. Some of Ramona’s athletes were invited to Rancho Bernardo High School's March 15 Bronco Invitational, including hurdler Wyatt Scott, whose strep throat caused him to be scratched from the meet. The 4x100 relay races were run in heats, and the Ramona quartet of Dart, Brandon Gansch, Binkley, and Dominguez placed second in its heat with a time of 45.05 seconds. Two other Ramona relay teams had fourth-place finishes. The Bulldogs had a time of 11:15.32

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the notes (s) secured by the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 5731965 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.PRIORITYPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 27379CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. In addition, the borrower on the loan shall be sent a written notice if the sale has been postponed for at least ten (10) business days. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. DATE: 03-072014 MERIDIAN FORECLOSURE SERVICE f/k/a MTDS, INC., A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION DBA MERIDIAN TRUST DEED

Six girls make all-league soccer By JOE NAIMAN
S
ix Ramona High School girls soccer players were placed on all-league teams by Valley League coaches. Bianca Scodellaro was named to the league’s first team. The second team included Courtney Dolan. Ramona’s honorable mention selections were Teresa Italiano, Kacie Jordan, Karli Njaa, and Taylor Stacy. Scodellaro is a senior forward who spent all four of her high school years on Ramona’s varsity. “She’s an excellent choice,” assistant coach Deena Vizcarra said of Scodellaro being placed on the first team. “She’s a dependable all-around player. She’s able to be in different positions and make an impact on the field.” Dolan is a junior defender. “She probably played the most minutes of any player on the field, and she is a strong competi-

Pictured from left, are: back row - Taylor Stacy, Bianca Scodellero, Jamie Williams, Kathrin Hoertig, coach Justin Jordan, Karli Njaa, Kaley Glotfelty, and Sarah LaFuze; middle row - Daniela Charbonneau, Sydney Marin, Courtney Dolan, Alexis Dinero, Mikaila McNary, Kacie Jordan, and Naomi Ramirez; front row - Ceci Estrada, Sydney Schmidt, Teresa Italiano, Shelby Sherman, Danielle Vizcarra, and Katherine Lorentz.

tor in the back line. She’s hard to beat,” Vizcarra said. Italiano, a senior and a four-year varsity player, was one of Ramona’s midfielders. Stacy, a junior, was Ramona’s goalkeeper. Jordan and Njaa, both of whom are juniors, were forwards during the 2013-14 season.
The Bulldogs finished fifth in the six-team Valley League standings despite a 4-6 record in league matches. Ramona’s overall 8-10-2 figure includes a CIF Division III playoff win over Horizon, Ramona’s first post-season victory since 2003, and a CIF quarterfinal loss to Escondido Charter.
Bernas selected league water polo MVP RHS starters given all-league honors By JOE NAIMAN The Valley League girls water polo coaches selected Ramona High School senior Cassie Bernas as the league’s Most Valuable Player for 201314 while giving all-league designation to all seven Ramona starters. “I think Cassie really stepped up and did some good things in the pool,” said coach Donnie Williams. Paulina Bernd, Jocelyn Schwegler and Holly Smith joined Bernas on the league’s first team.
Daniella Talento and Morgan Wallace were second-team selections. Honorable mention recognition was bestowed upon Kaylin vanTol. “I think that was really good. I think that the team did really strong,” Williams said of having all seven starters earn allleague status. “They really stepped up and did good stuff.” The Bulldogs won their second consecutive Valley League championship and were undefeated in their four league matches. Ramona’s 19-10 overall
season record included a CIF quarterfinal win over Steele Canyon and a playoff semifinal loss to Valhalla. Bernas, Bernd, Schwegler and Smith were varsity players for each of their four years at Ramona High School. The all-league distinction was the third for Bernd, who was given honorable mention accolades in 2012, and received second-team league honors in 2013. Last year Bernas and Smith were on the Valley League first team while Schwegler joined Bernd on the second team.
By BILL TAMBURRINO Ramona High’s girls basketball player Katherine Mauldin, a junior, was selected 2014 Valley League Player of the Year, and five of her teammates earned All Valley League recognition. All three of Ramona’s captains were selected to the first team: Mauldin, Kailey Hill and Christina Barrameda. Chiara Mattern made the second team. Kylee Scheib and Hannah Farhat received honorable mention.
“I nominated two players for the Player of the Year, Katherine Mauldin and Kailey Hill, thinking that they might share the honor,” said coach Dan Marshall “The coaches chose Katherine. However, they did say that they all wished that they could have the same problem of having two candidates for Player of the Year.” Mauldin averaged a double double for the season. She scored a league-high 396 points and averaged 13.2 points a game. Maudlin led the
team with 361 rebounds and averaged 12 boards a game. She also played defense and had 43 steals and 10 blocked shots. “Katherine is the greatest rebounder I have ever coached,” said Marshall. “Her statistics are amazing. Katherine is a double double machine. Hill also had impressive numbers. The senior power forward scored 326 points and averaged 10.9 points per game, and hauled down 6.5 boards a game. She led the team in steals (73) and blocked
RHS Futsal accepting youth registration Ramona High School boys and girls soccer teams present the return of RHS Futsal, their fundraising program that is open to youth players, and are accepting registration. The futsal season will run April 3 through June 27, from 3 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at Wilson Gym in the RUSD administrative building, 720 Ninth Street. Teams will be scheduled to play a one one-hour session on one of the days. Organizers describe futsal as an exciting, fast-paced three to five-a-side game, normally played indoors on a flat, smooth surface on a field the size of a basketball court. "Players really learn how to use pass and move strategy, quickness of thought, and the freedom to just take as many
shots on goal as they can," said Noelle Schmidt, RHS girls JV head coach. The registration fee of $45 includes one one-hour session per week and a team T-shirt. Games are played each week and end in a tournament-style play to declare winners for each age group participating. The futsal season will begin with an Open Kick Around night for ages 10 and under from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 3, and an Open Kick Around for ages 11 and older on Friday, April 4. Registration forms are available at www.RamonaFC. com. Participants may bring their form to the openers or mail it with payment to Ramona FC, P.O. Box 3744, Ramona, CA 92065. Checks should be made payable to RFC, or pay by credit card. All proceeds go to RHS Soccer.

"It would be her or Bridget Files. Both were multi-sport athletes and both are Division I scholarship athletes." Barrameda was the straw that stirred the drink. The senior point guard averaged 9.6 points a game and 6.8

boards a game. When teams loaded the paint to stop Mauldin and Hill, she hit 31 3-point shots. When teams pressed, Barrameda took the ball and beat the press. She led the team in assists with 67 and had 69 steals with 13 blocked shots. Mattern made the team as a pure shooter. The freshman shooting guard averaged 9.1 points a game. She was a zone breaker as she hit 51 shots from beyond the From page 12
