Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church Pastor Dan and Karen Erlenbusch with their children Adam Erlenbusch and Nikki Horne and two granddaughters break ground on the church campus during Easter Sunday service. More photos on page 22 and online at www.ramonasentinel.com.

Calling it “a great day for the congregation,” Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church Pastor Dan Erlenbusch on Easter Sunday led parishioners in breaking ground for a new church building. The groundbreaking occurred toward the end of the 10 a.m. service under a 1,600-square-foot tent on Spirit of Joy property off Highland Valley Road and state Route 67. Earlier in the day the congregation held Easter Sunrise service and an Easter breakfast on the property. An estimated 400 people sat in folding chairs under and outside the tent at the groundbreaking service. About 25 others stood outside or sat on the back of a pickup truck. Bishop Murray Finck, saying he was privileged to attend, started his talk with a hearty “Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!” One hallelujah is for Easter Day, one for the groundbreaking, and one for Jesus, the bishop said. He commended the congregation for its patience and perseverance for striving for 24 years for this day.

“It’s obvious you’re going to need a bigger tent,” he said. “...What an amazing journey you have been on.” Every parishioner with a shovel joined the under-the-tent groundbreaking, forming a cross down the center aisle and across the front of the two sections of seats. The future church campus will include a 5,745-square-foot sanctuary, 5,500-square-foot fellowship hall, two 3,700-square-foot administrative/classroom buildings, a 320-square-foot maintenance building, 182 parking spaces and landscaping on eight acres. After worshipping in a storefront — first at 751 Main St. and most recently at 1735 Main St. — the congregation is ready for a permanent home, parishioners agree. The congregation will continue to meet at 1735 Main St. until the doors of the new sanctuary open. Parishioners hope to celebrate Easter 2017 in the new building. —Maureen Robertson

Teen brings historic McKeen motor car to Ramona BY KAREN BRAINARD fter 1-1/2 years of fundraising, a Ramona teenager is finally going to experience his dream of restoring a piece of San Diego history. On Sunday afternoon, March 20, Madison Kirkman welcomed the arrival of the 1908 McKeen Motor Car, known as the “Cuyamaca,” after its 10-day journey from Anchorage, Alaska, where it had sat for the past 15 years. The 55-foot, 12,000-pound historic motor car rode into Ramona on a flatbed SEE CAR, A22

Woman, 92, killed in Mussey Grade Road crash An elderly Ramona woman was killed in a two-vehicle collision at Mussey Grade Road and Thomas Paine Drive just after 11:30 a.m. Friday, March 25, authorities reported. The county medical examiner’s office identified her as Catherine Wallace. She had turned 92 years old the day before the accident, according to the medical examiner’s report. California Highway Patrol Officer Jeff Christy said the 92-year-old, who lived on Thomas Paine Drive and was driving a white 2001 Saturn, was eastbound on her street preparing to make a left turn onto northbound Mussey

KAREN BRAINARD

The 92-year-old female driver of this white 2001 Saturn died in a collision at Mussey Grade Road and Thomas Paine Drive on Friday, March 25. Grade Road. A witness said the driver did not stop at the intersection and pulled into the path of a 2014 Toyota Camry traveling down Mussey Grade, he said. The driver of the Camry, a

38-year-old female from Ramona, reported that it happened so quickly she did not have time to react, said Christy, adding that the witness gave the same account.

The Camry collided with the left front of the Saturn, the CHP officer said. According to CHP, the Camry was traveling 45 mph, which is the speed limit on Mussey Grade. Two off-duty nurses came upon the collision scene and started CPR on the elderly victim until CHP arrived, said Christy. CHP officers then took over with resuscitation efforts until they were relieved by Ramona Fire Department/Cal Fire paramedics, but all efforts were unsuccessful, he said. Both drivers were sole occupants in their vehicles and neither alcohol nor drugs were involved, according to CHP.

The group meets once every three months in Ramona to discuss health and human services needs in the community and includes public nurses,

representatives from Palomar Health, North County Health Services, North Inland Community Prevention Program, Ramona Unified School District, and other agencies and organizations.

RAMONA SENTINEL - MARCH 31, 2016 - PAGE A3

BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON With students and teachers out of school this week, crews are busy on projects ranging from sealing and striping the middle school track to replacing single-pane and in some cases broken windows in the district office. Among other items on the district’s maintenance list for spring are new heating and air conditioning units in Olive Peirce Middle School locker rooms, Barnett playground replacement, a storage shed for the aquatics program at Ramona High, new counter tops in the Ramona High science lab, and carpet replacement in Ramona High’s I-wing. Students in Montecito High School’s construction class will build the storage shed, said Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services David Ostermann. Also in his report to the school board this month, Ostermann asked for and received permission to seek bids for a new intercom system at Ramona High and a new chiller unit in the school’s G-wing. The chiller system is a central air conditioning unit that cools the entire building. It’s the original

system and at over 40 years old needs to be replaced, since technicians aren’t sure it will last another year, Ostermann said. The question is whether the district should replace it with a new system or with individual units in each classroom, he added. "What’s better? What’s more cost-effective?" he said. "...We hope that we can go with individual units. We think we could do that much cheaper than the whole chiller system, but we’re bringing in some experts to help us with that." As required by the state, the district is setting aside $525,000 — 3 percent of its general fund — this year and the next two school years for deferred maintenance. With carryover of $182,000 from last year, Ostermann’s report showed $707,000 this year and $525,000 each in 2017-18 and 2018-19. His complete report is on the district’s website, www.ramonausd.net, under Administrative Services, Board Meeting PowerPoint Presentations. The November ballot will include a bid for $9 billion for schools from the California Coalition of Adequate School

Derek Marsh with Gem Industrial on Monday works on replacing 20 windows at the district office on Ninth Street with double-glass, more energy efficient windows. Housing (CASH), said Ostermann. If state voters approve the measure, the Ramona district could be eligible for modernization money under hardship, since district efforts to pass a school bond failed, he noted. "To be eligible for that, we have to get in line, (and) to get in line we have to have a plan," said Ostermann. "At what point does that line

form?" asked trustee Dawn Perfect. "That line is already formed," replied Ostermann. "There are districts that have already applied for that." A plan requires hiring an architect, Ostermann added, asking trustees if they wanted him to return in April with a formal request to seek architects. "Why wouldn’t we want to do this?" asked trustee John Rajcic.

"Partly because we have to spend a little bit of money on the architectural services without knowing for sure that we would (get state money)," responded Perfect. "I think it’s worth the gamble," said Rajcic. Also during his report, Ostermann said the swimming pool at Ramona High needs a complete overhaul. Estimates range from $500,000 to $3.5 million, depending on how much the district wants to do. With $540,000 projected for school roof repairs through 2018-19, most at the middle school, Ostermann said he would explore the possibility of grants for work on the pool. A consultant who surveyed all of the school roofs concluded the greatest need is at the middle school. "They’re the original roofs, so they’re over 30 years old and should be replaced," said Ostermann. "They are the highest priority." "It looks like we’re spending half of our maintenance budget on roofs at that one place," said Perfect. "Is that really possible that we would do that? ... I raise an eyebrow at that." "But those roofs are over 30 years old," said board president Kim Lasley. The district can reevaluate specifics in the report, Ostermann said.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Some thoughts on political correctness BY NORA E. MILNER s an attorney with over 30 years of practice and extensive litigation in federal courts, generally defending assaults upon the Constitution, I have become a good judge of human character and a keen observer of how people behave in stressful situations. During this highly-charged political season, the term “politically correct” has been repeated many times, often in anger, sometimes accompanied with violence. As a result of my own observations and news reports, I believe it is time to speak out about just what being “politically correct” means. Initially, I believe that as human beings we all possess within ourselves a dark side that lends itself to the basest of acts such as cruelty, greed, hatred and bigotry. When we feel threatened, whether for ourselves or for our families, this dark side can emerge and it is generally accompanied by force. To a certain degree, such protection is natural as we defend ourselves against an intruder into our home or a person who physically attacks one of our loved ones. It is this most basic characteristic of humanity to act defensively when threatened; after all, we too comprise the animal world. What then keeps us as a species of nature from constantly resorting to these most basic acts? I believe it is the formation of a civilized society with its rules and boundaries that contains these negative behaviors. What then is a civilized society and why does it matter? Those of us who are parents know that as our children grow from newborns to toddlers and beyond, it is the setting of boundaries that enables our children to comprehend that life for them as a human being and then as a member of society in general functions best when limits are set and appreciated. Just because our child wants to run in the street because it is fun does not mean that we as parents permit such unacceptable and dangerous behavior. We are responsible as parents to set boundaries and teach our children to appreciate them and function well and happily with them. Not surprisingly, when our child does learn such boundaries, he or she becomes a more well-adjusted person, one that can step out into the world as an adult and continue to thrive. Boundaries are respect, kindness, civility, thoughtfulness, generosity and “other-worldliness,” that concept perhaps being the most difficult to understand. Being “other-worldly” means to see beyond one’s own needs and wants and to consider how others feel and function. By accepting the truism of “walking in another man’s shoes” we come to see that the world does not revolve solely around ourselves, but that we all are meant to fit together in a human puzzle that is synergistic, helping each other and in turn, seeking help when needed. That to me is the very basis of becoming a stable adult in our society. So how does all this apply to the concept of being “politically correct” in this heated election time? I have heard many people state that they are tired of being “politically correct” and that they are going to speak their minds, spewing angry and hateful things to those around them, even sometimes to their own neighbors, people with whom they have previously lived in peace.

BEFORE—Volunteers look at the amount of trash removed from the Santa Maria Creek bed in 2015.

AFTER—The same section of the creek bed in January 2016 after a volunteer cleanup.

Creek cleanup, a community effort BY DON WENDT Over the past two years, in the months of January and February, Ramona Trails Association and Serve Ramona, along with several other community volunteers, have continued cleanup work in support of the Santa Maria Creek Greenway. We have concentrated cleanup in the area of the Santa Maria Creek Staging Area that was dedicated by San Diego County Park and Recreation in 2014 following funding from county Supervisor Dianne Jacob. RTA has attempted to create good will with the private property owners in the Santa Maria Creek by helping with the daunting task of removing trash and invasive plants overgrown in the creek area. Along with all the volunteers, we must thank Ramona Disposal for providing 10 40-yard roll-off dumpsters and disposing all the unwanted material. RTA has worked with the Ramona station of the San Diego County sheriff to make that property conducive to crime prevention through environmental design (easier to patrol). In 2015, a major cleanup started on Jan. 10 with 125 people gathering to work and fill five dumpsters. Two more dumpsters were filled in

weeks to follow and all together 170 adults and school volunteers worked 522 man-hours to remove 44,000 pounds of debris. In 2016, the first cleanup was delayed by rain until Jan. 16, at which time 43 adult volunteers and one Boy Scout re-cleaned areas from the prior year and continued working downstream on the creek properties. In four three-hour work parties, 64 volunteers worked 205 man-hours filling three dumpsters with 13,000 pounds of debris. (One site was cleaned in Well Field Park at the request of Ramona Community Parks.) Over the past two years, local citizens have donated 727 hours to improve the Santa Maria Creek Greenway and removed an estimated 57,000 pounds of debris. Work has been completed only outside nesting season for birds and animals who may live in the area. RTA would also like to thank KirE Builders, developers of the Nickel Creek Condominiums, as they reportedly removed two dumpsters of trash from the greenway, near their property, before starting construction. This was in preparation for the Santa Maria Creek Greenway trail segment they have dedicated on their property. SEE CLEANUP, A22

OUR READERS WRITE Snubbed again Our lame Obama and his equally inept State Department have been snubbed again. On the first visit to Cuba of a U.S. president in nearly 90 years, the Castro brothers failed to meet clueless Barack at the airport. Since it would seem that the island nation stood to gain more than America in this gambit, the best retort would have been to fire up U.S. One and leave. Surely, odious B.O. will not be missed. A.G. Smith, Ph.D. Ramona

Understanding tolerance Re: Resurrection Week or Spring Break (March 24, 2016)? The solution to Mr. Dyer's frustration that the world is not conforming to his ideals is a better understanding of the meaning of tolerance. Tolerance is basically letting others live their lives lawfully as they see fit. This guarantees that everyone (including Mr. Dyer) is free to be themselves. We all tolerate aspects in others that we personally think nonsensical. Tolerance does not necessarily equate to acceptance, but Christ's command "Love one another as I have loved you" requires, at minimum, a toleration of all human beings regardless of our differences in culture, beliefs, or background. As for the complaint against public institutions, our government is a

constitutional republic, not a theocracy. Strict separation of church and state is fundamental to preserving everyone's freedom of religion or beliefs. The elimination of religious bias in our schools the past 50 years reflects adherence to constitutional principles. Unfortunately public schools are required to teach things that many find very objectionable and that often ignore the fundamental truths that happen to be also included in many religions. Modern curriculum often smells of government indoctrination and political payoff in return for campaign contributions. The outdated "one size fits all" 19th century factory model of our current public school bureaucracy obviously does not meet the needs of all citizens, is educationally deficient, and not very cost efficient. The education of children should be the responsibility of parents who should be allowed to choose either a public, private or online school via a school voucher/tax credit program. This would be a demonstration of true tolerance from those on all sides of this particular issue, promote diversity, and be an affirmation of individual liberty for all. George Eastwood Ramona

amona resident Robert Rockhold will celebrate his 100th birthday on April 2. His 1916 birthplace in Lead, S.D., was a small company town that was home of the Homestake Mine, one of the richest gold mines in the world. His father was a miner and when he reached high school age he worked picking up ore in the shafts that were no longer operating. The mine was 5,000 feet deep at that time. Throughout his youth he was active in church, and in high school he played trombone in the band. After graduation he attended business college in Chicago in pursuit of a business career, and when World War II broke out he enlisted in the Air Force and served in the Philippines. When discharged he joined his family in Stockton, Calif., where they had moved during the war. It was in Stockton that he met and married his wife of 63 years, Joan.

Crowd shows up for Starbucks Evenings’ roll-out BY KAREN BRAINARD Starbucks at Main and 13th streets rolled out its new evening program last Thursday with free samples, drawing a huge crowd. Store Manager Liz Harlan said people started showing up at 4:30 p.m. for the 5 to 8 p.m. grand opening of Starbucks Evenings. “We had a line out the front door,” said Harlan. Samples of the new small plates and snacks were served to customers, and those over age 21 received a wine glass to keep and to use for free wine tastings that evening. “Their wine selection is quite nice,” said Sharon Ferguson of Ramona as she visited with friends and tried artichoke and goat cheese flatbread, artichoke dip with pita chips, and truffle mac and and cheese. Amber Webster especially liked the pepitas that were served in a small bowl with a glass of wine that she ordered. “I love this idea,” Webster said of Starbucks Evenings.

Samples included bacon-wrapped dates and truffle popcorn. Relaxing on the patio with a group of friends, all from Ramona, Gina Walter said the new program offers a good variety of menu items.

“Just enough to go with your wine,” she said. The event not only drew Ramona customers, but also visitors from Lakeside and Julian. Several employees from down-the-hill Starbucks stores also attended, as well as Starbucks executives.

The corporation is offering the evening program at select stores across the country. Beer and wine can be ordered after 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, and after noon on Saturday and Sunday, said Harlan. Small plates are offered throughout the day.

Teams prepare for Relay for Life

Open Studios Tour to showcase 25 artists BY JUDY NACHAZEL o you like to immerse yourself in a creative environment? You can have that opportunity when visiting 25 creative artists in 17 private studios located throughout Ramona during the 13th annual Ramona Open Studios Tour. The two-day event, sponsored by Ramona Chamber of Commerce, will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, April 9 and 10. Open Studio artists invite to visitors — creating an atmosphere to nurture a connection with the artists, their creative experiences, and their artwork. Working mostly alone, visual artists seldom connect with the people who would like to talk about their work and/or purchase directly from the artists. The art includes paintings, woodworking, metal sculpture, glass art, pottery, baskets and jewelry. Featured artists on the tour are: Jim and Nancy Berger, Carolyn Boydston, Lynette Bredow, Kitty Cantrell, Donna Davis, Susan DePriest, Lyn Feudner, Tom Grubbe’, Linda Kelly, Isabella Ketenjian, Dave Lambert, Jolinda Marshall, Johnathan Martinez, Jerry Meloche, Irma Pina-Garner, Nora Read, Denis Schlentz, Leslie Souza, Lori Sutherland, Kathi and Dave Vargo, Pam Wilder, Nancy Wiley and Victoria Wilson-Schultz.

Music, food and dance will provide walkers the motivation to complete laps around the track. The walking will continue until 8 a.m. on April 10. The Luminaria Ceremony will be at 8 p.m. April 9. Hundreds of luminarias will be lighted and will line the track in remembrance of loved ones lost to cancer. “This quiet celebration of life ceremony is for guests and walkers, and features moving stories of hope,” said Heather McGhee, marketing chair for the relay. A bagpiper playing traditional bagpipe music will lead the final luminaria memorial lap. For more information or luminaria support, go to www.relayforlife.org/ramonaca.

PREP SOFTBALL

Ramona High alum returns to coach BY JESSICA KING Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog. The new head coach of the varsity softball program at Ramona High is alumna Kristina Wright. “My goal with running this program is to give these girls the best experience possible,” said Wright. “These four years that they have together should be something that they can look back on later in life and remember how fun it was, and create bonds with their teammates that’ll last forever.” Wright, 25, graduated from Ramona High in 2008 and the University of Notre Dame in 2012. Among her many accolades,

Wright was RHS Defensive Player of the Year in 2005, Valley League Player of the Year in 2006 and named to the 2007 CIF All San Diego Team. The four-year varsity RHS player, who started playing softball in recreational leagues at age 5, played third base her freshman year before transitioning into a full-time catcher position. “I was excited to go back to RHS and be a Bulldog again,” said Wright, who earned a full-ride athletic scholarship to the University of Notre Dame. Despite her vast playing career and ties to the school, Wright was hesitant to take on the coaching

job, at first. “I was a little hesitant because I’ve never coached an entire team before,” said Wright. “I've worked a lot with girls one on one and with small groups, so this was bigger than what I’ve seen before. But I wanted to be able to give back to these girls what I learned in college, and hopefully help them grow as softball players and do what I can to prepare them for the next level of softball.” When not on the field, Wright, who majored in marketing and sociology, works in Ramona Unified School District’s human resources department as a personnel technician.

Bulldog athletes test selves at Vista BY JOE NAIMAN The first Ramona High School track and field meet that will have any impact on a potential league or CIF championship will be the Bulldogs' Valley League opener April 7 at home against Valley Center. The Bulldogs' March 24 dual meet at Vista High School was valuable for allowing the Ramona athletes to test themselves but meaningless as far as whether the boys and girls teams won or lost. Had winning or losing had any impact on the team's future, head coach Sherri Edwards likely would not have rested certain athletes and ceded certain events to Vista. "I didn't want to risk them getting injured," she said. "I had pulled some kids out who weren't feeling too good," Edwards said. "If we hadn't done that we would have won both." The Ramona and Vista girls each finished the meet with 63 points for a

The Panthers won the boys contest by a 62-59 margin. "It's not a big deal," Edwards said. "It was good to rest them." Edwards thus was not disappointed with the failure of either team to obtain

a victory, and she definitely was not disappointed with how the athletes who competed fared. "I was pleased with how they all performed," she said. SEE MEET, A23

Barona Drag Strip gears up for Match Race Madness BY ELIZABETH PULIDO The drag racing event known as Match Race Madness will return to the Barona Drag Strip for the 10th time on Saturday, April 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This fun-filled family-oriented event draws drag racing competitors and spectators. Fans are encouraged to get up close and personal with their favorite racers to learn more about their machines by asking questions or lending a helping hand. As a special treat for children, racers sign autographs. Youngsters who get 10

or more autographs will get a Match Race Madness sticker and a free hot dog. Match racing has been around since the 1960s. In an effort to bring true, heads-up drag racing to the forefront of a bracket-dominated sport, racer Steve Sherman organized a Ford versus Chevy match race, which led to a San Diego versus Los Angeles 800-spectator event. Thus, the idea of 20 pairs of racers as opposed to one pair came to be, and Match Race Madness was born. Holding true to grassroots, heads up drag racing tradition, the racer with the best two out

of three races wins. Featured at Match Race Madness will be AFX cars, imports and motorcycles. New will be the 6.50 match up. Racers who run a time within that range will be paired up randomly. Every ticket is a pit pass so fans can meet their favorite driver and see up close every car or bike that will be racing down the track. Camping is free. Barona Drag Strip is at 1750 Wildcat Canyon Road. For more information, call 951-551-5118 or visit Baronadrags.com.

Winter guard places first in regional contest Fundraiser set for April 30 The Ramona High School Winter Guard returned from the West Coast Winter Guard San Diego Show with first-place honors in its division. Co-Captains Emma Hopperton, a junior, and Raigan Spivey, a sophomore, accepted the award on behalf of the 18-member squad. Mira Mesa High School hosted the competition. The Ramona High program has been recognized throughout Southern California with numerous awards. RHS Winter Guard performances showcase the members’ talent. The guard, directed by Jim and Melissa Barton, is recognized in the community for its creativity and

sophistication. “Being a Color Guard member is a rewarding experience in which students learn productive life skills through teamwork, develop leadership skills, gain a sense of worth from a job well done and build camaraderie to last a lifetime,” said the guard’s announcement of earning first place. RHS Winter Guard is a growing program that needs community support to help with the costs of putting together a successful season. Knowing that fundraising is an important part of building a program, Ramona High’s Royal Alliance Band and Color Guard will host an E-Waste Recycling event and Bake Sale in the Senior Parking Lot at the school, 1401 Hanson Lane, on Saturday, April 30, from

9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Acceptable items are computer parts and accessories and office materials. Among e-waste items that will be accepted are motherboards, monitors, desktop computers, keyboards, scanners, printers, networking equipment, CD and Zip drives, cell phones and accessories, photocopiers, fax machines, calculators, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, stereo equipment, digital cameras, camcorders, video game consoles, rechargeable and alkaline batteries, and small household appliances such as toasters, blenders and coffee makers. Donations from fundraisers go toward the cost of equipment, uniforms, assistants, sectional coaches, music composition, transportation and tournament entry fees.

Coaches select Ramsthaler league wrestler of the year Valley League wrestling coaches selected Ramona High School freshman Jeff Ramsthaler as the league's wrestler of the year. "It's a good thing for him mentally. He can use that as motivation," said Ramona coach Matt Holt. "He needs to set his sights a little higher than league, but it's a good accomplishment for him as a freshman." Ramsthaler not only won all four of his league matches but all 26 of his matches entering the CIF divisional tournament. Losses along with victories in the Division

III tournament, the all-division masters tournament and the state tournament gave Ramsthaler a final record of 36-4 for 2015-16. The coaches selected 14 wrestlers to the league's first team, and five of those competed for Ramona. Three additional Bulldogs received second-team distinction. "Next year I want to shoot for about 12 on first team,” said Holt. “I think we can do 12. I'm happy with how they did, but I think we can do a little better next year." Ramona was undefeated in four league dual meets to take the Valley League

championship. Orange Glen, which placed second, is being moved out of the Valley League as is Oceanside. Escondido and San Pasqual will join the Valley League for 2016-17. "Our league is changing up a little bit," Holt said. "I think we'll come out a little stronger next year." Joining Ramsthaler from Ramona on the first team were Nathan Kiddoo, Jordan Castro, Brandon Setterberg and Cisco Carter. The second team included Kevin Gonzales, Gage Bailey and Montgomery Cowlbeck.

Estates mobile home park on H Street since rents were raised and some residents do not have transportation. Blanck said they are checking with the owners of the park, headquartered in Arizona, to see if they can do some sort of food distribution there. Blanck also said they are trying get the word out about free hot meals every Monday at 6 p.m. in the Ramona Grange, 215 Seventh St. The Serve Ramona committee wants to work with other organizations that distribute food, he noted, and involving people from different areas is helpful. “We’re trying to get information from everywhere,” he noted. Blanck said food insecurities was the initial concern of the meetings, but noted, “We’re trying to address a number of issues in the community.” More information about the group is on Facebook, search Serve Ramona, or by contacting Blanck at 760-533-2103 or agblanck@cox.net. Also at the meeting, a representative from Feeding America San Diego said the mission is to end hunger through healthy food. She said Feeding America partners with many nonprofit agencies and wants to work with more. Locally, Feeding America partners with Ramona Food and Clothes Closet, distributing free food in the store’s parking lot at 773 Main St. on the third Thursday morning of each month, beginning at 9. There was also talk about the federally-funded summer food program through Ramona Unified School District that offers free lunches at Ramona Elementary School from mid-June to late July. Those at the meeting discussed possible options to continue free meals and fill the gap before the start of school.

Senior center seeks RibFest sponsors Ramona Senior Center is looking for sponsors for its 11th Annual RibFest, to be held Saturday, June 18, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Olive Peirce Middle School Performing Arts Center. Pete Bakarich, president of the center’s board, said they will serve 3,000 pounds of ribs, 800 pounds of chicken and 600 pounds each of coleslaw and potato salad. The all-you-can-eat barbecue rib and

chicken festival is the main fundraiser for the Senior Nutrition Program at Ramona Senior Center, a nonprofit organization. The center provides over 5,000 meals to seniors each month and delivers to nine zip codes in the backcountry. “Many of our recipients are shut-ins and depend greatly on our delicious, delivered meals,” states the sponsorship letter. “Because of this, our meal/delivery

costs have escalated to $11 per meal.” To help cover increased costs, the center is stepping up fundraising efforts. Levels of RibFest sponsorships are: corporate, $5,000; platinum, $2,500; gold, $1,000; silver, $500; bronze, $250; and table, $150. Each includes recognition and complimentary RibFest tickets. The committee is also looking for vendors, prize sponsors, supplies sponsors and volunteers. For more more information, call 760-789-0440 or email seniorswspirit@sbcglobal.net.

Vintage Fords: The glue that binds these friendships ‘It’s a guy thing’

andy and Jim Hurlburt’s home off Little Klondike Road has two driveways. On a recent Wednesday morning, one sign directed “Old” to the first winding driveway and another directed “Modern” to the next. Jim hosted about 25 Early Ford V8 Club members — some active and some not — at the end of the “Old” driveway. With the exception of 44-year-old Ramona resident Mike Hennig, who came with his father Ed, the men ranged in age from 70 to 86. Nine old Fords had hoods open and men standing by, either admiring the engines and bodies or just talking. Another group, eating doughnuts and sipping coffee, chatted as they sat in chairs arranged in a circle. Jim, who had hosted similar gatherings a few years ago, started the casual get-togethers again in early February and plans to have them about every six weeks. Some attendees live in Ramona, but most live “down the hill” in San Diego and Lakeside. Tore Olsen lives part time in Norway and part time in Clairemont. “It’s nice to have the guys get together,” said Jim. “We talk about everything — what we’re working on, cars, people we’ve seen and places we’ve gone. When we were

Their interest in vintage vehicles, the Ford engines under the hoods, and their friendships will keep them coming back, they agree. —Maureen Robertson

Community singers to entertain at Woman’s Club

COURTESY PHOTO

Ramona Community Singers will entertain at the Ramona Woman’s Club meeting on April 7.

amona Community Singers, an intergenerational choir made up of volunteer members ages 15 to 80 who share a love of group singing, will provide the entertainment when Ramona Woman’s Club members meet on Thursday, April 7, at 1 p.m. Directed by community music leader and teacher Gina Seashore, the choir’s eclectic repertoire includes pop songs, show tunes, folk tunes and world music — both serious and humorous. The choir’s mission is “to enrich and inspire lives — in our choir, in our community and, ultimately, the world — one song at a time.” It sings at community events, retirement homes and hospitals, and for clubs and

organizations. Most recently, the group performed for veterans, staff and visitors at Veteran’s Hospital in La Jolla. Gina Seashore, founder/director of Ramona Community Singers, is music director at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in La Mesa and carillonist at Balboa Park in San Diego. She also teaches piano, hosts drumming and percussion parties, and conducts numerous short classes and workshops including “Rhythm Camp for Kids” and “Songwriting for Seniors.” A Seattle native, she has called Ramona home for the past 12 years. Ramona Woman’s Club meets at 524 Main St.

pet of the week Mr. Boo, a 3-year-old Domestic Short Hair mix, is looking for a new best friend. This cat is always ready for more attention and isn’t the least bit shy and loves to beg for cuddles. Mr. Boo is also leash trained, and loves to walk on his harness! Mr. Boo’s only set back is that he has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). While the name sounds intimidating, FIV is a very manageable condition. It causes cats to be less able to fight infections, but with good care, many FIV+ cats live happy, normal lifespans. Because of his condition, Mr. Boo will need to be an indoor-only cat, and either housed alone or with other FIV+ cats. Mr. Boo is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s adoption center at The CaT Café loCaTed aT 472 3rd ave, San diego. To learn more please call (619) 786-2289 or viSiT SdhuMane.org.

FROM MILNER, A4 To these people who are tired of being “politically correct,” in their minds they have been given license to throw down the boundaries of civility and decency and sadly have resorted back to the basest of human behaviors. We don’t have to agree with our neighbors on their political beliefs, but we must, to remain a civilized society, respect each other. Skin color, religion, language, culture and all of the other characteristics that may appear to divide us have actually served this country for over 200 years as a binding force that makes up our beautiful America. None of us has to look far behind in our own ancestry to find a brave relative who sought a better life and undertook great peril, whether by land or sea, to come to this amazing country. In that vein, we should all thank that person who has picked our crops,

This same person should not now be the object of scorn, hateful insults and demeaning behavior. Being “politically correct” in my opinion simply means living our lives every day so that the best of each of us is shown — so that we function as a family, a community and a nation that respects each other and permits diversity without feeling “put upon” by any other ethnicity. I would therefore like to propose that as we listen to the political platforms of each candidate, we shrink from acting upon our basest of behaviors and appreciate that the boundaries in which we live are there for the common good of all. — Nora E. Milner, Esq., LLM, is a Ramona resident.

truck. “It feels quite amazing to have brought her back to San Diego County,” Kirkman said. “I have been looking at the car and have discovered new bits of information every day.” The Cuyamaca is one of three surviving McKeen Motor Cars in the world, according to Kirkman, and is one of the only surviving pieces of equipment from the San Diego, Cuyamaca & Eastern Railway on which it ran from 1908 to 1914. On its route, the motor car transported passengers to the former community of Foster, near today’s San Vicente Reservoir, and from there people could take a stagecoach to Ramona, said Kirkman. In 1914, the Cuyamaca was sold to the Yuma Valley Railroad, and then in 1926 it was sent to Alaska for use on the Alaska Railroad. During World War II it served the 714th Battalion for troop transport, according to the teen’s research. The 17-year-old first became intrigued with the rail car and its aerodynamic design about five years ago and has plans to restore the Cuyamaca. Kirkman said he would like to get it running again on the tracks from San Diego to Santee, like it did in 1908, so people can have the experience of riding it. To have this opportunity means

Through his research, Kirkman found that the Cuyamaca was in the possession of Anchorage Historical Properties and contacted the group. In 2014, Anchorage Historical Properties called to say he could have the rail car if he paid to have it transported. Kirkman raised $15,000 to cover the expense of having the rail car lifted onto a trailer at the yard where it sat in Anchorage, then moved to a shipyard and loaded onto a steamship that took it to Seattle, where it was loaded onto a flatbed truck and driven all the way to Ramona. Although the car is basically a shell, Kirkman plans to restore it to “factory condition.” He estimates that

will cost about $1 million and could take a decade. “I’m probably going to do most of the work on it,” the Ramona High School junior said. Kirkman, son of Woody and Dawn Kirkman, said the McKeen car is on a concrete slab in their yard and the first work will be the documentation and stabilization stages. “The hardest part now is going to be rebuilding the nose and the rear end, both were damaged/replaced,” he said in an email. Kirkman said that once the Cuyamaca is restored, “I would like museums to sponsor the car to come to their museum and run.” More information about the McKeen cars and the journey of the Cuyamaca is available at facebook.com/ McKeenMotorCar /timeline.

FROM MEET, A12 The highlight for Edwards was Colin McNulty winning the boys 800-meter race while setting a personal record of 2:01.65. "That was an impressive race,” said Edwards. Some Ramona athletes were invited to participate in the March 26 Mt. Carmel ASICS Invitational meet, so Edwards did not place any Ramona boys in the 3,200 race and the only other distance points for the boys were obtained by Gabe

Plendcio, who finished second in the 1,600 race at 4:39.04 while saving some leg strength for the meet two days later. Ramona also ceded the 300 hurdles race although two of the scratched athletes had given the Bulldogs first and second in the 110 hurdles earlier in the day. Caleb Berman won the shorter hurdles race with a time of 17.19 seconds and Sean Stemm finished second at 18.39 seconds. For the complete article, see ramonasentinel.com.

Sheriff investigates ag boosters’ missing funds BY KAREN BRAINARD The Cyber and Financial Crimes Unit of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the disappearance of nearly $40,000 from the Ramona Ag Boosters Club, said a sheriff’s lieutenant. “We’ve received report of a crime affecting these folks and it now resides with our unit,” Lt. Greg Rylaarsdam said. No suspect had been identified, he said on Monday. “I am so sad. I just want to cry,” said Gloria Andrews, past president of Ramona Ag Boosters. “We’ve been such a good community support.” Between April 8, 2015, and March 15, $39,807 was drained from the nonprofit organization’s account, according to the report with the sheriff’s Ramona station. Ramona Ag Boosters is a nonprofit organization that is a support system for manpower and financial need for Future Farmers of America (FFA) at Ramona High School and 4-H clubs of Ramona, explained Alyson Tulloch, Ramona High ag teacher and FFA adviser. Tulloch said the Ag Boosters Club is not associated with the school district, and neither she nor the district are involved in the investigation. The ag boosters board planned to hold a closed door emergency meeting to discuss options due to the investigation. Ag Boosters Club president Gretchen Donais encouraged members to attend the group’s

next monthly meeting at 6 p.m. April 12 at the Ramona Fairgrounds to offer suggestions on rebuilding and moving forward. Ramona Ag Boosters has been in existence for 50 years, does a lot of fundraising, and has many lifetime members, said Andrews. Members generally have or had children involved in agricultural programs. “I appreciate all that everyone has done in the community to help ag boosters. I feel this kind of lets them down,” said Andrews, noting that the current board is “above board and honest.” Andrews, who served as president for eight years, said this has never happened before and she doesn’t want hard-working members to be slandered. She also said she hopes the club will be able to recover the funds. The loss of funds, Tulloch said, will be a blow to students in the agricultural programs. “The ag boosters are a tremendous help to the FFA and 4-H students in Ramona,” Tulloch said in an email. “The single biggest contribution the ag boosters have is making opportunities accessible to more students and I can't thank them enough for that.” Tulloch said she hopes justice is served and funds are restored because “our kids depend on it.”
