‘The essence of a great teacher’
BY KAREN BRAINARD San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously last Wednesday to immediately enact a 45-day moratorium on medical marijuana collectives, a decision that Ramona Community Planning Group (RCPG) chair Jim Piva said is a win for Ramona. “It was the best we could hope for,” Piva said after the supervisors’ March 16 meeting that had an overflow crowd. With one dispensary open and four other medical marijuana-related facilities proposed for Ramona, the planning group sent a letter to the board of supervisors asking for a ban on collectives or modifications to the county’s ordinance regulating them. RCPG secretary Kristi Mansolf told supervisors that the group’s intent is to protect the citizens. “We don’t want to see Ramona serving medical needs of the entire county,” she said. The board’s 4-0 vote directed staff to return April 27 with findings on health and safety issues, options for stricter regulations, and consideration of a ban. SEE POT, A26

District selects Cavell Teacher of the Year
woman who never planned to be an educator is this year’s Ramona Unified School District Teacher of the
Year. Alexandra “Al” Cavell had set her sights on pharmacy. While attending Rutgers School of Pharmacy in New Jersey, she realized that was not what she was meant to do. She learned she loved being in the classroom when she was a substitute teacher during college breaks. “That was when I changed my major to chemistry, a subject that would allow me to teach something that I enjoyed and that would hopefully always be in need,” she said.
Students in her chemistry class applauded when an entourage of administrators entered her classroom last Tuesday morning, playing a recording of “Celebration,” and Superintendent Robert Graeff announced she is the district’s Teacher of the Year. “Al Cavell truly has a gift,” Ramona High School Assistant Principal Antoinette Rodriguez wrote, recommending Cavell for the honor. “She has the ability to engage students and peers and inspire them to be the best they can...Al is the essence of a great teacher.” Montecito High School Principal Dave Lohman agreed.

Easter weekend to bring church events, egg hunts Easter weekend in Ramona is full of celebratory church services and Easter egg hunts. This Easter Sunday is particularly joyful for the Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church. After worshipping in a storefront for the past 24 years, the congregation will break ground on their church campus on their property off Highland Valley Road and Highway 67 at their Easter Service on Sunday, March 27, at 10 a.m. Among Easter weekend events: ■ Maundy Thursday Service of Tenebrae at First Congregational Church, 404 Eighth St., will be on March 24 at 7 p.m. The service will include sharing of The Last Supper as well as a meditation on the last hours of Christ’s life in scripture and song, with candlelight decreasing to darkness. The word “tenebrae” is Latin for “shadows,” and the congregation uses increasing darkness to represent the increasing sadness of Holy Week. The purpose of the tenebrae service is to recreate the emotional aspects of the Passion Story — the betrayal, abandonment and agony of the events, and it is left unfinished, because the story isn’t over until Easter Day, reads a statement from the First Congregational. This is a most moving service during Holy Week. ■ Good Friday Service at Mountain View Community Church, 1191 Meadowlark Way, will be on March 25 at 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. ■ Good Friday Service at Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church,1735

State nominates three schools for gold ribbons
Ramona, Hanson and James Dukes up for prestigious honor
BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON Three elementary schools in Ramona are being considered for a Gold Ribbon School Award: Ramona, Hanson and James Dukes. Validation teams visited Ramona Elementary last Monday and James Dukes Elementary last Tuesday. Based on the strength of Hanson Elementary’s program, that school did not require a visit, Principal Chris Gunnett said Monday. “This is is a statewide, very prestigious award,” Superintendent Robert Graeff, Ed.D., told school board members recently. “Last year we had two Gold Ribbon schools, Mountain Valley Academy and Olive Peirce Middle School.” The state Department of Education created the California Gold Ribbon School Award to honor schools with outstanding educational programs and practices. Last year the department honored middle schools and high schools. This year’s focus is on elementary schools. Gold ribbon awards are taking the place of the California Distinguished Schools Program while the state transitions to new assessment and accountability systems, the Department of Education states on its website. “Traditionally, the Distinguished Schools Program honored public schools
that showed improved student outcomes as measured through Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) scores and additional measures,” the website notes. “As programs and policies evolve, the CDE looks toward the same recognition of educational quality with the implementation of academic content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education for all pupils, including English learners.” The deadline for elementary schools throughout the state to submit gold ribbon applications was Nov. 20. Each application was screened for compliance and evaluated. Each school based its application on a model program and/or practice at the school. James Dukes’ was character education, Hanson’s was writing and mathematics, and Ramona Elementary’s was closing the achievement gap and education supports. Schools learned in late January if they had made the cut to advance to the next stage, and the state in April will announce the schools selected for 2016 gold ribbon awards. Parents, students, community members, teachers, administrators and other school employees participate in validation team interviews. “We’re highlighting a signature practice that involve the support that we give to ELD (English language development) instruction,” Ramona Elementary Principal Melissa “Missy” Cobian said at the March 10 school board meeting, when she invited trustees and district administrators to visit the school during the validation team’s visit.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Church banner is completely proper BY BOB CURWIN am writing in response to a letter published in the March 17 Ramona Sentinel authored by Karen Carlson, regarding the monument on the Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church property. First, in the way of disclosure, I am a member of SOJ but I write this as a private citizen of Ramona, and I do not speak for the church, the church council or Pastor Dan Erlenbusch. This is my opinion only. Our church started its quest to move out of an old Kragen Auto Parts store some 20 years ago when we purchased the property on the corner of 67 and Highland Valley Road. The fact that the property was purchased by a church should have made it clear to everyone that the plan was to build a church on that corner and not graze cattle. But that detail does not seem to connect with some folks in Ramona. We started the process of going through the necessary permitting so that we could build the church, but immediately we ran into a long string of roadblocks and stalling tactics that were thrown in our path by a number of county and state government agencies. When we finally were successful in getting approval from one agency, and then moved on to the next, by the time the second one finished with its stalling tactics the first approval had expired and you had to do it all over again. The bottom line is this congregation has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars which would have been better spent on actual building. Now, finally, we have reached the point where we are ready to break ground, but alas it seems we’re not done yet. Over the past few years there are people in Ramona who feel that our property should remain vacant into perpetuity. We have had many letter writers complain about potential traffic problems on Sunday morning, the height of the bell tower, noise, and many other useless and laughable “problems.” Now we are ready to build and it continues with the most ridiculous gripe that I could imagine. Karen, as you said in your letter, you were “dismayed.” I also am dismayed by people who have too much time on their hands and nowhere to direct their energies. Social media? Really? I will not repeat Pastor Dan’s letter where he points out that without SOJ stepping up to the plate, the monument might very well soon be under the blade of a bulldozer. You’re welcome! You said that Pastor Dan, in stating that the sign will be up two weeks, was wrong that it should be stated as three weeks. Well, you’re wrong. His letter as shown on the Sentinel website is dated March 17, so if the banners come down on March 28 that’s actually 11 days from the time he wrote the letter. But if you want to be a stickler and count from March 6 that is actually 23 days so you’re also wrong. You suggest that the banners are blocking the monument, yet right above your letter is a picture of the monument showing the banners, and you can clearly see the monument between the two banners. Actually the best place for the banners is right on the SEE BANNER, A6

GUEST COMMENTARY
Resurrection Week or spring break? BY J. DYER t is AD 2016. The celebration of Resurrection Week or Easter Week is an American Judeo-Christian tradition that has not been supported by progressive socialists. Apathetic conservatives and so-called Christians stood by while the God-haters changed the name of our celebration week to spring break. Instead of the historic acknowledgment of the Resurrection Week by our public institutions, spring break gets the nod as a hedonist celebration of substance abuse, sexual promiscuity and disorderly conduct. The California public school system embraces this anti-Christian assault on the holy week. While employing the age segregation scheme to keep our “evolving” children in the proper government defined social groups, the government schools shun many other Judeo-Christian traditions: no Christian school prayer, no posting of the Ten Commandments, extremely prejudicial and hostile treatment of creation science, the exclusion of facts that show evolution as merely an atheistic interpretation of scientific facts, Christmas is now winter break, instead of time being marked by BC (before Christ) and AD (in the year of our Lord) — CE (common era) and BCE (before common era) are used, and moral relativism is treated as a virtue while Christian moral absolutes are labeled intolerant. Supporters of Ramona Unified School District will claim that Ramona schools are different — and to a limited extent they are. They are different because we have some
I
members on the school board who are trying to manage the damage these anti-Christian state policies inflict on local districts. This layer of partial protection will not be there for our children when progressive socialists gain a majority on the board. It is unfortunate that conservatives and/or professing Christians would subject their children to such anti-Christian indoctrination. There are decades of documentation exposing the anti-Christian bias of our government school system. There is little excuse for being uninformed on this issue. Christian leaders have been negligent in addressing the state indoctrination of our children. Many of them are preoccupied with grace-worship and show little concern about a government school system that is actively engaged in changing the structure of the family and our country. Some parents realize that there is no neutrality when it comes to morality. Some parents have caught on to the dumbing down of academic standards at the progressive altar of equal outcomes. Some parents have had enough of the hostility toward Judeo-Christian traditions in our government schools. Haven’t your kids been exposed to enough of it? Are you celebrating Resurrection Week or spring break? If you are celebrating Resurrection Week, please seriously consider removing your children from a state educational system that is determined to undermine your conservative, Judeo-Christian values. — J. Dyer is a Ramona resident

OUR READERS WRITE Supports reasonable immigration law Marlene Robershaw supports our Congressman’s endorsement of Donald Trump and his plan to “Build a wall, a big wall” on the Mexico/America border. This is her right, of course. I would suggest that since the net migration from the U.S. into Mexico has exceeded entry from Mexico for several years now, that a wall would be counterproductive? The existing partial “wall” is already a sad commentary on our movement away from tried and true American values and ethics. A more economical, feasible and humane action would be for our Congress to actually pass a reasonable immigration law that would allow immigration into the U.S., with some kind of path to citizenship for some, not just from Mexico, but for immigrants from all over the world. Our country was built on immigrants’ labor and talent. The Muslim terrorists of ISIS and other “gangs” offer no real threat to the U.S. government. Yes, they can cause damage, but a whole lot more citizens are killed by guns wielded by our own citizens than by ANY terrorists’ group. ISIS must be defeated, but they must be defeated by the concerted action of those countries where ISIS exists, with the help of any country that is willing to help.

recently adopted an update to the parks and recreation master plan based upon the assumption that the number of children living in the Estates is growing. An article in the Sentinel on March 10 confirmed that Ramona school enrollment decreased substantially during the last 14 years, and projected another decrease for the next school year. The school district projection included decreasing enrollment at the two elementary schools in the Estates. Isn't this evidence that the association board at the Estates is not honest with owners, and in their decision-making? How can Estates owners trust the three incumbent board members who are running for re-election? Lauren Moll Ramona Boycott Estates election The annual ritual of electing directors for The San Diego Country Estates Association (SDCEA) is in process, but it has been corrupted. There are two ways for candidates to be nominated for open director positions on the board. Candidates may submit information to a Nominating Committee appointed by the sitting board, or they may be nominated from the floor at the Annual Meeting of Members. The names of candidates nominated by the first method will appear on the ballot that is mailed by SDCEA before the Annual Meeting of members. If a candidate is nominated from the floor he/she must depend upon voters at the meeting, or their proxies, to write in the candidate’s name on the ballot. The Davis-Stirling Act that governs operation of SDCEA (among other governing documents) requires that the Secretary of the A R T
Association maintain “membership lists, including name, property address, and mailing address, but not including information for members who have opted out.” The association is required to provide this list to any member of the association for any purpose related to association business, such as the election of directors. This list must be produced within 10 days of the written (including email) request by an association member. If the list is maintained in electronic form (SDCEA does), the requesting member has the option to demand production in electronic form. Associations may provide additional member rights to information, and the SDCEA CC&Rs do – providing that all records be available to all members. SDCEA's membership list includes email addresses for many members. The Davis-Stirling Act identifies some records that are exempt from the CC&R requirement (such as Social Security numbers) because of the risk of identity theft, but email addresses are not among such records (that are to be redacted). An SDCEA member asked the association for the membership list (including email addresses) and a sample ballot for the purpose of conducting a write-in campaign for the election of directors. Although the allowable 10 days has passed, the association has failed to produce the requested documents. The association has made it impossible to conduct a timely write-in campaign, and precluded the conduct of such a campaign without incurring the expense of printing mailers and buying stamps and envelopes (instead of sending an email).
SDCEA members do not have to participate in this illegal, manipulative and sham election process. They may refuse to return ballots. Only 33% of members normally return ballots — resulting in adjournment of the initial Annual Meeting of Members for lack of a quorum. The adjourned meeting is reconvened two or three days later when only 25% of members are required to establish a quorum and conduct business. If 300 members who normally return ballots refuse to do so, the meeting cannot be reconvened and no election can occur. I hope enough SDCEA members care enough about the future of their association to withhold their participation in the current election process and alter the association's current course which is being manipulated by an oligopoly pursuing the special interests of a few members at the expense of the members as a whole. Gary Hurst Ramona Who said county would remove monument?

FROM WATER, A2 entering into an agreement with Tyler Incode to provide a cloud-based and cloud-hosted Enterprise Information Management System. Initial cost of $201,975, and infrastructure/hardware improvements estimated at $175,000, are included in the fiscal year 2015-16 budget. Since 1994, the district has been using a software system that will no longer be supported. Director Jim Hickle asked if customers will be better served by the new system. “Absolutely,” said Human Resources Manager Tim Clement. Clement said customers have asked to view or pay their bill online and this system will give that option. “This will provide a tremendous benefit to the entire community, all of our ratepayers...and ultimately to all of our customer service staff as well,” he said. Additional items such as server upgrades, file servers and disk storage, desktop replacement and improved Internet connectivity and bandwidth will be included in successive budgets, stated the agenda memo. The board also approved awarding a contract to AToM Engineering Construction, Inc. to rehabilitate the brine and equalization ponds at the San Vicente Water Reclamation Plant in the amount of $228,398. The projects are in the plant’s facilities plans, and $250,000 was budgeted for them, said staff. With the district’s 2016-17 fiscal year starting July 1, Financial Services Director Richard Hannasch gave an overview of the budgeting process. Hannsch said tepid economic growth is forecast for 2016, and the district faces uncertain regulatory requirements from the State Water Resources Control Board. Water sales continue to decline — sales from July to December 2015 represented a 32 percent reduction over the same time the previous year, he said. For the board’s next meeting on April 12, Hannasch anticipates an overview of revenues, expenses and approval of the Proposition 218 notice for sewer fees. The meeting starts at 2 p.m. at the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane.
OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) FROM LETTERS, A5 the corner property.” I was startled to read this, as were many in the community. Many community members contributed money, time and energy to create this gift to Ramona, and the thought of the county tearing it down is distressing. The pastor did not state the source of this information, and many of us would be interested to know how this intention was relayed to him. As longstanding volunteers for the
FROM BANNER, A4 corner, but we acquiesced and installed them off to the sides. I think you see what you want to see and not what actually is. You say there are banners and signs and notices all over that property. Really? Where? Other churches can have banners, but because we have a monument on our property, we are not allowed to? I’ll give you the fact that you probably don’t like banners. But did you write a letter to the Sentinel complaining about other banners that appear in front of other churches from time to time when they have an event they want to advertise to the public? Did you write a letter to the Sentinel complaining about the banner across Main Street during rodeo week? Or are you just being selective? Finally, you state that nobody has
maintenance of the monument, we have had two main points of contact over the years: Manny Gaviola, San Diego County Department of General Services Real Estate Division, and Matthew Parr, assistant to County Supervisor Dianne Jacob. After this statement from the pastor, both were contacted to see if they could shed any light on this rumor. Both emphatically denied any knowledge of such a thing. I can only conclude (happily) that whoever gave Pastor Erlenbusch this
impression was mistaken. The image of the monument was generously never trademarked so that businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, gift shop owners, and many others in the community could benefit by using it for advertising (and they do so). As many have stated to me personally in recent weeks, it is well-loved in this community. I’m glad to know that our county knows and respects this. Rochelle Hancock Ramona
asked the church to remove them. I don’t know why you would assume that, but you are wrong. At least one person, whose name you would recognize, has walked into Pastor Dan’s office and demanded, yes demanded, that the banners be removed immediately. Karen, I am sure that I am much older than you, growing up in the 1940s and ‘50s. In those days it was quite common for a church to host an ice cream social for the church members and for the community. Of course, if you’re inviting the community to an event, you have to put up a banner in front of the church so the community knows about it. The church members don’t need to have the banner to read, they learn about it by going to church on Sunday. I have never seen such a negative attitude towards churches as I have
since I moved to Ramona 16 years ago. The church displays an invitation to the community and the community’s response, at least in your case, is not only do you not want to attend the event, but you are irritated by the invitation. When you get an invitation to a baby shower and you don’t want to go, do you call the hostess and take her to task for sending you an invitation? I don’t think so. Finally Karen, I would like to invite you to come out on Sunday between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. and we will welcome you, and your family, and buy you a breakfast. Then if you would like to stay for the service at 10 o’clock, and I hope you will, you will be welcomed and entertained. And, if you are there, be sure and ask for me because I would like to shake your hand and say hello. Bob Curwin is a Ramona resident

Adult ed grows at Montecito High School BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON Ramona Rotary’s most recent students of the month have one thing in common: they are student athletes. Ramona High School senior Carlos Morales plays on the school’s varsity boys soccer team. Teacher and soccer coach Michael Jordan II described him as “the engine that pushed our team this year” when he introduced him to the club during its luncheon meeting on March 3. Montecito High School sophomore Noah Yunis is on the school’s soccer team. He didn’t play on Montecito’s boys basketball team, but he cheered the players and even wore a panda suit to the last game, said teacher Adam Vickery. Mountain Valley Academy senior Elise Stickney plays on the volleyball, lacrosse and golf teams. She also participates in the drama club and mentors students at Mt. Woodson Elementary School. Morales has his sights set on a career as a social worker. Stickney
MAUREEN ROBERTSON
Ramona Rotary Club presents February students of the month with plaques commemorating their accomplishment: Rotary president Bob Murray, past president Amber Ramirez, Mountain Valley Academy student Elise Stickney and teacher Debra Ray, Montecito High School student Noah Yunis and teacher Adam Vickery, and Ramona High School student Carlos Morales and teacher Michael Jordan II. plans to be an X-ray technician and then possibly continue her education to be a physical therapist. After serving in the U.S. Army, Yunis plans to attend college to be a nurse practitioner. Also at the meeting, Montecito High School Dave Lohman talked about adult education, a program that did not exist at the school when he arrived there 3-1/2 years ago. General Education Development (GED) study hours and testing started at Montecito last year, and the school board recently approved an agreement between San Diego North Adult Education Partnership and Ramona Unified
School District that allows the addition of an adult diploma program and a Career and Technical Education (CTE) construction course for adults. “Tuesday night is Montecito night,” Lohman said. Montecito High’s three adult education classes take place on Tuesdays at the school, 720 Ninth St.: • GED study hours are from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. and testing is from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., • Adult Diploma sessions are from 3:30 to 7 p.m., and • Construction classes for adults are from 5 to 7 p.m. The construction class for adults provides instruction in wall and
roof framing, drywall, plumbing, HVAC and electricity. After completing the construction course, adults may take advanced courses in Poway or Escondido. Some adults prefer to receive a diploma rather than take the GED equivalency test, Lohman said, explaining why the district offers both programs. The adult classes follow the same holidays as the district, so classes will not be held on Tuesday, March 29, because spring break is from March 25 through April 1. Montecito High hopes to offer additional adult courses in the future, but funding will be needed, Assistant Superintendent of
Administrative Services David Ostermann said in his report to the school board. According to the report, the district receives $39,382 for its adult program. The money comes from the state’s Adult Education Block Grant. Lohman represents the Ramona district in the regional partnership, which includes Ramona, Escondido, Poway, Valley Center, Vista and San Marcos school districts and Palomar Community College. Alternates are Ramona High School Assistant Principal Ed Van Hoose and Ostermann. For more information about the adult education program, call Montecito High at 760-787-4300.

PREP TRACK AND FIELD
Stallman four-time winner at Falcon Relays
Anderson throws discus 185'11" for school record
BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School track and field teams will travel to Vista High School for a dual meet Thursday afternoon, and selected Bulldog athletes will compete in the Mount Carmel ASICS Invitational meet Saturday. The Ramona athletes and coaches hope that those meets go as well as Ramona's most recent dual meet and invitational. The dual meet March 10 at home against Mission Hills saw the Bulldog girls win by a 79-52 margin. Although the boys lost, 75-57, senior Connor Anderson set a school record in the discus throw. The Bulldogs spent March 12 at the Bronco Invite meet at Rancho Bernardo High School and then traveled to Torrey Pines High School for the March 19 Falcon Relays meet which also included individual events and ended with Ramona senior Holly Stallman wearing four gold medals.
Mission Hills is a non-league opponent, so the March 10 meet was primarily for athlete evaluation purposes, said head coach Sherri Edwards. The girls swept all three scoring positions in two events and took first-place points in nine of the 16 events. First place in the 16 boys events was split evenly by Ramona and Mission Hills although the Grizzlies swept three individual events and won the two winner-take-all relays. Anderson provided two wins. "The big highlight this week was Connor Anderson," Edwards said. Anderson's discus throw of 185 feet 11 inches broke the school record of 179'10" set by Logan Peterson in 2010. "That was awesome," Edwards said. Anderson also had the winning shot put distance after landing one throw 51 feet 3/4 inch past the throwing circle. Although the Grizzlies took second and third in both throwing events, the Bulldogs achieved first and second in three boys events. Logan White won the 800-meter
run in 2:03.4 and Colin McNulty was second at 2:04.1. A time of 4:38.4 gave Gabe Plendcio first place in the 1,600-meter run and McNulty ran the metric mile in 4:46.5 for second place. Parker Christopher had a winning long jump distance of 19'1" with Januar Ranadhan placing second with a jump of 18'2". Christopher also won the triple jump with a distance of 39'2" while Brandon Hankins gave Ramona the third-place point with a 33'3" performance. Hankins cleared 13'0" to win the pole vault and set a personal record. Ramona's other boys win was in the 3,200-meter run that Joey Jauregui completed in 10:37.4. Ramona's girls swept the 400-meter race with Tuesday Christopher completing her lap in 1:04.18, Rayna Valade crossing the finish line in 1:05.68, and Sierra Crenshaw posting a time of 1:06.92. Holly Stallman won the 100-meter dash in 12.75 seconds and the 200-meter dash in 26.58 seconds. Jenni Rivera took second in both races with times of 13.22 SEE TRACK, A14

PREP GIRLS LACROSSE
Bulldogs rebuilding BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's 2015 girls lacrosse team had its best season ever in terms of victories, league position and advancing in the CIF playoffs. It also had eight seniors, and only seven players return from the 18-5 team that won Ramona's first-ever Valley League girls lacrosse championship with a 9-1 league record and lost the CIF Division II championship game in overtime. "It's basically a major rebuilding year. We have a very young team," said assistant coach Al Cavell. Six of the seven returning players are seniors and include goalkeepers Gina Gruneisen and Nina Thorson. Megan Vandervort and Sierra Fields are four-year varsity players, and Mackenzie Griffin and Caitlin Blanck are the other two returning seniors. Zoe Bennet, the only freshman on the 2015 varsity, also returns to the Bulldogs. "We lost a lot of our offensive players. We almost have a brand new offense," Cavell said. Bennet’s first varsity goal was the only Ramona goal in the Bulldogs' 13-1 loss March 8 at Mission Hills. The Bulldogs' junior varsity lost to the Grizzlies by an identical score. "We had good second halves,” said Cavell. “Unfortunately the first halves were not so good.” Ramona's varsity trailed 6-0 at halftime. The junior varsity halftime score was 11-1. Mission Hills has two junior varsity teams, and on March 10 the Mission Hills "B" junior varsity squad traveled to Ramona. The Bulldogs defeated the Grizzlies, 5-4, but the varsity, which hosted Santa Fe Christian, lost by an 11-4 margin. "That was another tough loss," Cavell said. The four Ramona goals were scored
by sophomores. Sydney Elliott scored her first two varsity goals, Caitlyn Cripps had her first successful varsity shot, and Bennet contributed a goal. "It gave them experience and it's kind of helping build their confidence as well," Cavell said. Cavell bases that statement on the varsity's 16-9 victory March 11 at Francis Parker. The Bulldogs had a 9-5 halftime lead. Elliott and Fields scored six goals apiece, Vandervort provided two goals, Bennet placed one ball into the net, and sophomore Betsy Dean scored her first varsity goal. The junior varsity did not play March 11. A March 15 trip to La Jolla resulted in The Preuss School prevailing in the 7-5 varsity game and the 9-6 junior varsity contest. The on-campus field has a grass surface that contrasts with the turf surface used by Ramona and many of the Bulldogs' opponents. "We aren't used to playing on grass," Cavell said. "We couldn't pick up any ground balls." Vandervort scored twice against Preuss, senior Emma Lisowski attained her first varsity goal, and Bennet and Elliott had a goal apiece. The varsity's 1-3 record remained at that when Pacific Ridge had to cancel the March 18 varsity game. The junior varsity hosted Our Lady of Peace that day and fell to 1-3 when the Pilots leveraged a 7-0 halftime lead into an 11-2 victory. Patrick Henry has two junior varsity teams. Both will be in Ramona this week. One of those teams will play Ramona's JV squad Thursday while the varsity hosts Point Loma, and Friday the varsity and the JV will compete against Patrick Henry. "We have more goals being scored by different players than we've ever had," Cavell said. "We think that's going to be promising as the season goes on."

seconds in the 100-meter race and 27.47 seconds in the 200-meter event. Those results gave Ramona 25 out of a possible 27 points in the three individual sprint races. "That's a big part of our win," Edwards said. "It's nice having that core of sprinters." The Bulldogs added wins in the two girls relay races. Rivera, Christopher, Hannah Farhat and Stallman won the 4x100 relay in 50.92 seconds. Christopher, Crenshaw, Ally Luna, and Valade had a time of 4:22.23 in the 4x400. Luna led a Ramona sweep of the triple jump with a distance of 30'9". Christopher was second at 30'8" and freshman Mariah Campanella earned her first varsity point with a triple jump of 29'4". Luna trailed only her own teammate in the 300-meter hurdles. Emily Sojourner had a winning time of 51.00 seconds and Luna finished in 51.60 seconds. Sojourner added a second-place time of 17.77 seconds in the 100 hurdles. Karla Thairez won both girls throwing events, hurling the shot put 29'5" and the discus 84'10". Peyton White threw the shot put 28’2-1/4" for second place. Stallman competed in the invitational 100 dash at the Bronco Invitational and finished third with a time of 12.45 seconds. The only other girl to medal was White, whose throw of 29'8" placed fourth in the open shot put competition. The March 12 rain created a wet throwing circle, so Anderson settled for a fifth-place discus distance of 143'2". Plendcio had Ramona's top boys finish at the Bronco Invitational; he did not run the individual mile but finished third in the 800-meter race with a time of 2:04.48. The distance medley relay race involved McNulty running the 1,200 segment, Parker Christopher taking the 400 portion, Eder Landgrave holding the baton for 800 meters, and
Plendcio in the 1,600 anchor position. The Bulldogs took fourth place with a time of 11:09.8. Christopher was fifth in the long jump at 19'4-3/4" and sixth in the triple jump with a distance of 40'4". Ramona competed in Division II for the Falcon Relays. Rivera, Tuesday Christopher, Farhat and Stallman won the 4x100 relay in 50.65 seconds and the 4x200 relay in 1:49.12. Stallman added a first-place time of 12.45 seconds in the invitational 100 dash and a winning distance of 17'8-3/4", a personal record, in the long jump. "That was good," Edwards said of Stallman's four wins. "She's such a hard worker." Ramona's 4x800 team of Luna, Crenshaw, Robyn Turner and Valade placed second with a time of 10:11.65. The shuttle hurdles relay team of Brittany Poler, Hannah Gill, Kyla Dugan and Sojourner had the second-place time of 1:14.78. White was fourth in the discus throw with a distance of 94'6" and fifth in the shot put with a mark of 30'2". Valade completed the 400-meter invitational race in 1:03.1 for fifth place. The junior varsity distance medley relay race ended with the Ramona quartet of Carmen Ocampo, Lexie Hall, Lexie Waples and Madison Huckey placing fourth at 15:06.22. Anderson threw the discus 168’6" to win the Falcon Relays and had a fifth-place shot put throw of 44’2-3/4". Parker Christopher won the boys long jump with a distance of 21'0-3/4" and was fourth in the triple jump with a mark of 39’1". Ranadhan was second in his open 100 dash heat with a time of 11.96. McNulty had an open 800 run time of 2:03.1 for fourth place. The 4x200 boys relay team of Ranadhan, Giovanni Ortiz, Christian Gabriel and Parker Christopher took third place with a time of 1:37.00 while Ranadhan, Jalen Boykins, Ortiz and Caleb Berman had the third-place time of 46.45 seconds in the 4x100 race.

players from the back tees,” said Gainey. “We're very proud of his performance and can see his competitive drive as he fights for a spot on the varsity roster.” Against Escondido Charter on March 10, Ramona won 205-214 on the charter school’s home turf of The Vineyard at Escondido, playing the par 35 front 9 from the blue tees. Graf was the medalist with 3 over par. One stroke behind him with a 39 was Thomas Andrews. Marshall shot 42, Hall and Serop Matoian each had 43, and Keagen Fritz posted a non-scoring 50. “In this match we played our top six varsity players in order to assess their performance playing away,” said Gainey. “Overall I’m very pleased with their scores and how well they play together.” Gainey said there is still some work to be done before league play, but knows his team is capable of sub-200 scores.

Prep Swim
Divers make Ramona more competitive in league League starts Thursday at home If only one swim team in a high school dual meet has a diver, the diving is not included in the team scoring but the individual divers are scored for CIF purposes. The diving is scored at the league meet and at the CIF meet regardless of whether all teams have divers. This has been a drawback for Ramona High School, which until this year had not had a male diver since Josh Sammons in 2010 and had been without a female diver since Sophia Klar graduated in 2006. This season Ramona has a diving coach as well as boys and girls who are diving. Jolyn Yanez returns as head swim coach for both boys and girls. Deena Vizcarra, Ramona's girls soccer coach, was a diver when she was in high school and is the Bulldogs' diving coach. "She stepped up in a big way," Yanez said. "That's going to make a huge difference." When divers Cooper Smith and Cole Muse attained CIF meet consideration scores March 10, the Bulldogs had a total of 11 boys and girls divers. "I think we got a pretty good
group of kids to come out for it," Yanez said. "That's going to be a good enough number to keep them highly motivated and make a difference in the overall team scores." The three girls who competed at last year's Valley League diving meet were all seniors in 2015, so the Ramona girls may be competing for first-place points at the league meet as well as for points for lower positions. The 2015 boys league champion, Joey Greenwood of Fallbrook, is a sophomore this year and is the only current Valley League boy who dove at last year's league meet. The March 24 league opener against Oceanside will also be Ramona's first home swim meet of 2016. Ramona will close out dual meet competition April 28 at home against Fallbrook before traveling to Fallbrook for the league meet in early May. Ramona's swimmers and divers began their 2016 season March 4 at Grossmont High School, and the tri-meet also included Christian High School.

Kelsey Sherman, Sara Mittman, Sophia Mittman, Jessica Gallegos, Cole Muse, Cooper Smith and Dylan Webb are diving for Ramona High School’s swim team this season. Ramona's boys won the March 4 meet with 193 points. Grossmont had 181 points and Christian accumulated 110 points. Ten of Ramona's points were from divers, and since those positions displaced their Grossmont counterparts. the diving allowed Ramona to finish
first among the three teams. Smith scored 126.10 points on six dives for fourth place, Muse had the sixth-place score of 104.35 points, and Dylan Webb was seventh with 96.96 points. Although Ramona's girls finished second at the tri-meet, the Bulldogs
had the three highest diving scores. Sophia Mittman had 105.54 points, Kelsey Sherman accumulated 100.55 points, and Jessica Gallegos attained 94.50 points. Ramona's boys took first place at SEE DIVERS, A26

CARON CAPPOS
Stassa Cappos places first in the sophomore girls Division 1 race.
Cycle Dawgs win third place team trophy Ramona High’s Cycle Dawgs continued strong by earning the third-place overall team trophy at the second SoCal National Interscholastic Cycling Association race of the season at Vail Lake in Temecula. Many of Ramona’s mountain bike racers had podium finishes or placed in the top 20. The Cycle Dawgs won the first-place team trophy in the first race of the season at Lake Perris. Their next race will be April 3 at Lake Castaic in Valencia. “I felt strong right off the start,” said junior Gwendalyn Gibson, who placed first in varsity girls Division 1. “I knew there was a pinch-off in the beginning, so I just went for it and was able to take the lead up the climb and make a gap.” Another first-place finisher, Stassa Cappos, called the sophomore girls Division 1 race “another great experience at one of my favorite venues.”
“The biggest challenge I had during this race was maintaining first place,” she said. “During the last quarter of the race I knew second place was only seconds behind, so I definitely felt the pressure to ride to the best of my abilities.” Seth Levy, who placed third in sophomore boys Division 1 competition, said he faced a lot of challenges, “losing my bottle on the first ridge, my seat being angled down because I landed too hard on it, and finally losing my second bottle in the same place.” “I feel the race went pretty well for me, because I won the race,” said Karson Basore, who also competed in the sophomore boys race. “... My favorite part of the course was the first long downhill section, because it was really fun, flowy and fast.” Anyone wishing to support the team or interested in receiving more information may contact team coach Robert Grace at rgrace@ramonausd.net.

At the reunion were Rosie, Nala, Koa, Nala, Bodie, Holly, Ally, Lambaugh, Leo, Duncan, Murray, Ellie and Theia.

Weeds don’t have to win, says expert How to reduce weeding and herbicides will be the topic when weed scientist Carl Bell visits Ramona on Friday, March 25. Iron Mountain Conservancy and Friends of Santa Maria Creek Greenway will host Bell’s talk, which will begin at 7 p.m. in Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. All are welcome at the free discussion. Bell has worked with owners and land managers throughout Southern California in his role as University of California Davis
extension/regional adviser on weeds, also known as invasive plants, for 14 years. Referred to as the lead expert on weeds, Bell is a researcher, an educator and an advocate of sound natural resource policy related to invasive plants’ impacts on natural habitats. Bell has a master’s of science degree in botany and operates his SoCal Invasives business. He volunteers for several organizations such as the California Weed Society and
provides community education. Reducing weeds and herbicides on private property and community-wide reduces fires and floods, protects native plant species and the animals that depend on those species, works to reduce open space management costs for preserves and the future Santa Maria Creek Greenway, reduces vet bills, and protects animals from toxic invasives, said the announcement of Bell’s presentation.

Parks staff shares plans for county preserves BY KAREN BRAINARD Future plans for more public access to county-owned preserves in Ramona was the focus of a presentation at Ramona Trails Association’s (RTA) March meeting. County Parks and Recreation’s District Manager Dave Holt talked about the work underway in the Ramona Grasslands Preserve for a staging area and trail off Montecito Way, the success of docent-led hikes on Old Survey 97, plans for public meetings on the Boulder Oaks Preserve, and a call for volunteers to help with trail maintenance. RTA has been seeking more public access for non-motorized trails in the grasslands and its officers recently met with and received support from Congressman Duncan Hunter. RTA said the county Board of Supervisors promised equal access to the grasslands when it approved the purchase of the last parcel. “Our tax dollars were used for the purchase of this land,” said RTA past president Don Wendt. “We just want to make sure the promises made are actually kept.” According to Holt, county parks and recreation is waiting for the permits to manage the Stephens’ kangaroo rat, an endangered species found in the proposed staging area off Montecito Way on the former Davis-Eagle ranch, and then can move forward with construction. “Once we get the go-ahead, it will happen fast,” he told RTA members. An RTA member questioned whether the Stephens’ kangaroo rat was still endangered. An official with U.S. Fish and Wildlife told the Sentinel that the agency has kept the species on the endangered list following a review last fall.
COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION
A scope has been installed on an overlook for the proposed new trail in the Ramona Grasslands Preserve. Holt said an old house at the three-acre staging site has been demolished. The old rodeo arena will remain but will not be available for public use. Plans call for parking spots to accommodate about 10 horse trailers, in addition to cars, a portable bathroom, an automatic solar gate, five corrals, a 60-foot round pen, two large shaded picnic tables and a bike rack. An on-site volunteer has already set up temporary residence, he said. Although water was not planned for the staging area, some RTA members asked that a spigot be installed. The project’s phase 1 will consist of a 2.8 mile trail that will stop shortly after the hill where there is a vacant yellow house that will be removed, he said. That spot will serve as an overlook, and a scope has been
installed. “It’s just gorgeous,” he said. “You guys are really going to like it.” Two additional phases will link the trail with the Oak Country trail off Highland Valley Road. Jennifer Price, land use/environmental planner III with the county’s parks department, talked about the findings in the second year of a three-year study on possible impacts to the golden eagle and other raptors in the grasslands, targeted to be completed in August. Biologists conducted 24 surveys, she said, and of the 13 raptor species observed, five are considered either federally or state sensitive: bald eagle, golden eagle, American peregrine falcon, Swainson’s hawk and northern harrier. In the northeast portion, bald eagles were observed all
seasons, and in January a golden eagle was seen in a nest in the Bandy Canyon area, Price said. Details about the study are available at www.sandiegocounty.gov/parks/openspace/ RamonaGrasslands_RMPUpdate.html. Michael Harrison, Hunter’s deputy chief of staff and a Ramona resident, told the Sentinel that the congressman’s office is holding Fish and Wildlife to its survey timeline, and wants to make sure the agency is using sound science and taking the public’s comments on recreational access into consideration. According to the county, the early survey information confirms that the preserve is functioning well for raptors, and its management plan is effectively balancing resource protection with public access and passive recreation. From October 2015 to early January, county parks offered docent-led excursions by foot, bike and horse in the northwest section of the grasslands on Old Survey 97 with the help of volunteers from Ramona. Holt said at least 116 people signed up for the 13 hikes. “For the first time, I consider that an absolute success,” he said. Holt said they hope to do it again this fall. Holt also said they are looking for volunteers to help with trail maintenance in the Ramona area. “We just can’t do it all ourselves anymore,” he said. The county will provide the materials, he added. Environmental studies on the Boulder Oaks Preserve, 1,268 acres just north of the San Vicente Reservoir between state Route 67 and Mussey Grade Road, are complete, said Price, and county staff plans to hold two public meetings on plans for the preserve with the first one possibly in April.

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. 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 this property. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of

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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2015-00477-CA.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG
Carefully think through your marketing
T
hese days there’s so much competition that, if you don’t find ways to draw attention to yourself, you’re sure to be ignored. Into this scenario arrives Michael R’s business card. It’s 3.5 inches wide, completely round, and resembles a large orange flower within a rotary wheel. While a surefire attention-getter, I’m concerned for Michael’s business prospects. Ignoring the possibility of this card being mistaken for a drink coaster, the side with Michael’s contact information has a coupon for a bottle of a beverage he sells. You need to visit his website to learn only two retailers carry it. Which all seems counter-productive, since: The purpose of a business card is to help me find you to do business with; and A coupon encourages me to buy your product immediately, and I rarely keep the coupon. Thus the moment I use Michael’s coupon I can’t find him with questions, concerns or orders. True, the retailer could return the coupon/card to me, but he’ll probably have trouble getting reimbursed. Or Michael might also give me a brochure or another card without intrinsic value. Or he might ask for my business card so he can stay in touch with me. Assuming I have my own card, problem solved. Or he may not care if I can find him — provided I try his product. Still, I have to wonder about the fortunes of a company that makes it challenging to find its product AND its sales representatives. As a busy guy, it’s not worth it for me to drag all over creation to find that drink — even if it’s free. Then there’s the filing question. As this card doesn’t fit easily into my wallet, do I keep it in my office with other business cards — or in my kitchen with my other coupons? I’ll confess that on certain levels I see this card as an interesting marketing ploy. The bright colors and odd shape effectively stand out of a stack of business cards. But as a practical matter I can’t help but believe that Michael and his company would have been better off with an orange, traditionally-shaped business card, and coupons (print or electronic) provided separately. It might not have earned him a Mr. Marketing column, but in the long run it would probably improve his business. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Student Megan Vandervort described Cavell as one of the most involved and hardworking teachers on campus. “She is always positive and enthusiastically teaches all of her students,” Vandervort wrote in her recommendation. Graeff said her students know her as a spark plug and model of enthusiasm. In addition to teaching high school and college-level chemistry at Ramona High, Cavell is the school’s National Honor Society adviser, the ACT/SAT testing coordinator, and an elected member of the Teacher Leadership Committee. She is also assistant varsity lacrosse coach. Before coming to Ramona as a biology, math, earth science and chemistry teacher at Montecito High four years ago, Cavell taught in an urban private school where most of her students lived in Jersey City and Newark, N.J. Her students had among the lowest failure rates, and she received a promotion to vice

principal of academics, a post she held for one year while teaching one class a day. “That one class period was the highlight of my day, proving to me that I needed to go back to the classroom, where my true passion was,” she said. In addition to receiving certification to teach high school chemistry and mathematics, Cavell is certified to teach elementary school and middle school history and English, and she earned her master’s in school administration.

Jewish congregation to celebrate Purim Congregation Etz Chaim will celebrate the Purim holiday on Friday, March 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the Rotunda of San Diego Country Estates. The Scroll of Esther, one of the five scrolls of the Bible, is read on Purim. This scroll was written about 330 BC and tells the story of the salvation of the Jews of the Persian Empire by Queen Esther, the winner of a beauty pageant. Food is an important part of this holiday, in particular a triangular pastry call
Hamantachen, which is filled with sesame seeds or jam. Since the 15th century, partly due to the influence of Roman carnivals, masquerading in costumes has become a prominent part of modern Purim celebrations.15 The Purim services for Etz Chaim will be led by Keith Liker from Temple Adat Shalom in Poway. The Rotunda is at 16911 Gunn Stage Road, the International Equestrian Center. For more information, call 760-789-2781.

FROM POT, A1 After hearing testimony from two groups, one of them representing the recently-licensed ShowGrow in Ramona, and seven individuals opposed to a ban or moratorium, and just over two dozen in favor, Supervisor Dianne Jacob said she would support a ban. “My opinion has always been cannabis should go through the process of any drug under the FDA (Federal Drug Administration),” she said. Supervisor Bill Horn agreed with a ban. “I think Prop. 215 was misguided,” he said. “I think these storefronts have been a real problem.” Jacob said a ban would not deny access to a medical marijuana patient as the City of San Diego has seven legal dispensaries and six more have been approved, and two dispensaries are operating in the unincorporated area — ShowGrow at 736 Montecito Way in Ramona and Outliers near Gillespie Field in El Cajon. Supervisors Greg Cox and Dave Roberts, however, said they could not support a ban at this time but agreed to a moratorium. “I believe it’s going to take time to get this right,” said Roberts. Cox said he did not support Proposition 215, the 1996 state initiative to legalize medical marijuana, but he is sympathetic to those with legitimate needs. Cox and Roberts said no community should have more than one dispensary. “I don’t think Ramona or any other community should be subject to have multiple locations,” Cox said. In addition to the two open dispensaries in the unincorporated county, county Planning and Development Services have issued building permits for two more in Ramona, one in unincorporated El Cajon, and one in Valley Center. Four applications have building permits under review: one in Ramona, one in Julian, and two in Lakeside. Those against the dispensaries, mostly from Ramona and Julian, cited public safety issues such as increased traffic, impaired drivers on dangerous highways and back roads, and marijuana getting into the hands of youths. Dino Berardino, a business partner for a dispensary at 618 Pine St. in Ramona, which is pending an operating certificate, said they have always been committed to working within the county and sheriff’s department guidelines. “I want each of you to know we share these concerns,” said Berardino, a cancer survivor.
FROM DIVERS, A15 the tri-meet in all three relay events and in three of the eight individual events. The 200-yard medley relay time of 1:49.07 posted by Spencer Schwegler, Jacob Pradels, Brandon Powell and Ethan Blackburn not only won the race but is a CIF meet automatic qualifying time. Blackburn, Pradels, Dawson Webster and Trevor White won the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:37.30, which is a consideration time. Schwegler, Jacob Powers, White, and Powell had a consideration time of 3:33.58 to win the 400-yard freestyle relay. If a relay team posts a CIF qualifying time, the four swimmers who obtained that time do not need to be that race's participants in the CIF meet. Powell won the 100-yard butterfly with an automatic time of 54.10 seconds. Powell and
Jean Duffy, coordinator of Drug Free Julian, brought a petition signed by 400 people against dispensaries in Julian, and Dana Stevens with Communities Against Substance Abuse said she had signatures from 206 people calling for a moratorium and outright ban on storefronts. According to the county, the moratorium prohibits the ability for new medical marijuana facilities to be established and applications in process would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Sapphire Blackwood with Green Capital Ventures asked the board to allow medical marijuana cultivation. Blackwood represents a client that has been interested in implementing indoor cultivation at 2338 Montecito Road. She said her client has purchased property in Ramona and is in escrow, and she has been advising her client based on the ordinance. Gina Austin, an attorney representing ShowGrow, said they see 20 to 30 patients a day at the 1,107-square-foot dispensary, and would be submitting plans for a 10,000-12,000-square-foot, fully-enclosed, on-site cultivation. At build-out they will employ 20 to 30 full-time employees, she said. The moratorium, said Austin, would prohibit the facility from its buildout process. “What I am trying to understand is why are there so many in Ramona and why are they so close to residences,” said Stephanie Moss, who moved to Ramona four years ago with her husband and three children. With one dispensary four houses away and the possibility of three others within a one-to-two-mile radius of her home, Moss said she would be afraid to allow her children to ride their bikes the quarter-mile to their grandparents’ house. Moss said a dispensary must be in an industrial zone and 1,000 feet from a residential zone, but there are industrial areas where there is residential use. Jacob’s motion for a moratorium also requested staff to return with zoning changes that would require medical marijuana facilities maintain a 1,000-foot separation buffer from properties in which a residential use can take place, and require a major use permit so such projects would have to go before a community planning group. The board also wants to increase enforcement efforts and civil penalties for non-compliance. The board could extend the moratorium on April 27 for up to 10 months and 15 days, said staff, and after that time could extend again for a maximum of one year. Blackburn took the top two positions in the 50-yard freestyle. Powell's time of 23.50 seconds and Blackburn's 23.56-second swim are both consideration times. White won the 200-yard freestyle with a consideration time of 1:56.57. Blackburn also finished second in the 100-yard freestyle while posting a consideration time of 52.95 seconds. Ramona had two consideration times in the 500-yard freestyle: White finished second at 5:22.81 and Schwegler was third with a time of 5:28.84. Schwegler took second place in the 100-yard backstroke with a consideration time of 1:04.15. The only Ramona girl to win a swimming race at the tri-meet was Katie Szakara, whose time of 27.52 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle gave her CIF meet consideration status.

Tips to make spring cleaning safer and easier
I
f you love the results of spring cleaning, but not the process, it could be that the methods and tools you’re using to get the job done are making the work harder than it needs to be. Make it Fun Before you get started, take steps to prepare yourself for an afternoon or day of chores. Turn on some music to motivate you. Open the windows to get some fresh air. Eat a solid meal so you’re fueled for the tasks at hand. You’ll already be in a much better mood. Avoid Harsh Chemicals One of the less savory aspects of cleaning can be the exposure of one’s eyes and skin to harsh and irritating chemical formulas. But
it doesn’t have to be this way. In some cases, you can get the same results with natural alternatives and, at times, just water. For example, microfiber is designed to pick up and trap dust, dirt, fingerprints, and grime from furniture, woodwork, and cabinetry without scratching surfaces. Work Smart Mopping can be a tricky task when you’re using a conventional mop and bucket. Rather than push an ever-increasingly dirty mop around your floors, seek out smart cleaning tools that work for you. A built-in washing spinner at the bottom of the bucket can help keep things cleaner as you go. For more cleaning tips, visit www.Casabella.com.

both detail and her clients’ needs, which she brings to every transaction,” Clendenen said. Barbara Jensen is recognized for attaining Master’s Ruby Status with the Century 21 system. “Barbara is a team player and highly supportive of the Ramona branch,” said Clendenen. “She works very hard to make sure every aspect of the transaction goes smoothly for her clients.” Smith, Guerrero, Luce and Jensen were additionally recognized with Quality Service awards for 2015 as a result of highly positive surveys returned by their clients. “I am so honored to be part of the Century 21 system and specifically Century 21 Award,” said Clendenen. “We are one of the highest producing brokerages within Century 21 Global, and our expertise and professionalism shine through every single day. The agents mentioned above exemplify this high level of production, success and client experience.”
