BY KAREN BRAINARD Options on how to fund escalating costs and equipment for the Ramona Fire Department will be discussed during a presentation at the Ramona Municipal Water District Board’s April 11 meeting, according to Thomas Ace, water board president. Ace and Director Bryan Wadlington, who both retired from careers in fire service, are on the water board’s ad hoc fire committee. Ace said the committee has been involved in information gathering and “now it’s time to get the entire board involved.” The water district oversees the fire department and contracts annually with Cal

Fire to staff the three stations in Ramona. Among options, Ace said, is to have the fire department join the San Diego County Fire Authority, which would take fire service out of the water district’s responsibility. “We’re just looking at it in concept,” said Ace. San Diego County Fire and Cal Fire San Diego Unit Chief Chief Tony Mecham will be at the April 11 meeting, he said. San Diego County Fire Authority administers and manages fire protection enhancement contracts with Cal Fire, fire protection districts, water districts, and volunteer agencies, according to its website.

New system puts Ramona Unified in top third in state

Community Profile

Chersten Sandvik: Cherishing involvement BY KAREN BRAINARD At just 20 years old, Chersten Sandvik has a real appreciation for being involved in her community and helping others, especially children. As Miss Ramona 2016, Sandvik will crown her predecessor on April 9, and said of her role this past year: “It’s been great. I’ve had lots of opportunities that have been positive.” Each year the winners of the Miss Ramona and Teen Miss Ramona Scholarship Pageant represent their community at events. “I’ve tried to double the events,” said Sandvik. “Any events I knew about, I tried to always be at.” One of those additional events was walking in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to raise money for breast cancer research. Sandvik’s team included Teen Miss Ramona Ashley Dominguez and their mothers. Working side by side with Dominguez

BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON California’s new school accountability system ranks Ramona Unified School District in the top third of the 1,566 districts in the state. District trustees received a preview of the state’s new accountability system for schools from Assistant Superintendent Theresa Grace in early March and a follow-up report from her after the public release of the California School Dashboard color-coded system. Calling it “a new era of accountability,” Grace said the new system includes multiple measures, replacing the old system’s Academic Performance Index (API) based on one static score. The dashboard ranks performance and currently shows changes from last year in five areas: math for grades 3-8, English language arts for grades 3-8,

We ranked #1 in Toyota Service Department Customer Satisfaction Scores for entire year 2016 for all San Diego County Toyota dealerships!

English learners progress for kindergarten through 12th grade, graduation rate, and suspensions. Ramona Unified scored green in all but suspensions, where it scored orange. The five colors rating districts are red, yellow, orange, green, and blue, with red indicating the lowest performance and blue the highest. “Green and blue—good,” said Grace. “Yellow, orange, and red indicates that improvement is needed. So this is a system that really does provide us ongoing information for improvement.” Dashboard information helps the district determine the success of its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which is reviewed annually.

Vacant building proposed for town’s first mixed use BY KAREN BRAINARD A vacant former medical building on Main Street may become Ramona's first mixed use of residential and retail since the town’s form-based code was adopted nearly three years ago. The code defines mixed use as commercial on the first floor of a building and residential on the floors above. "You have to have a minimum of 50 percent commercial," said Rob Lewallen, chair of the Ramona Design Review board, at the board's March 30 meeting. Architect David Kniff presented preliminary plans for the building formerly occupied by Arch Health Partners, previously called Centre for Health Care, at 1236 Main St. The building is owned by Hartjen Investment Properties. The plans proposed remodeling the two-story structure, offering retail on the first floor and apartments on the second floor. A corresponding new building would be constructed on the vacant lot next door and a courtyard would be created between the two structures, according to the preliminary plans. The project would be done in two phases with the new building in the second phase, said Kniff. Most apartments would have two bedrooms, be about 800 square feet, and

possibly have decks, he said. Design review member Scotty Ensign said the plans fall right in line with the form-based code, which seeks to create a more viable, walkable community, and promote community character with types of architecture and design elements outlined in its requirements. "This is actually the first mixed use that's come in," said Lewallen. Kniff said he has designed some successful mixed use buildings in Temecula, and called it an “exciting component” for Ramona. As for apartment parking, Kniff said the preliminary plans have slightly over the code's required one space per unit; however, Lewallen said an updated form-based code that will likely be adopted in the next few months will probably require two parking spaces per unit. No action was taken as it was a preliminary review, but Lewallen, Ensign, and board members Jim Cooper, Rex Gammon, Dan Vengler, and Darryl Larson all agreed they liked the plans. Absent were Chris Anderson, Evelyn McCormick, and Eric Guenther. Arch Health Partners moved out of the building in March 2013 to its current location at 211 13th St. In other business:

• The board unanimously approved a modification to the major use permit for Mountain Valley Ranch at 842 state Route 78. Markie Battaglia said there would be no new construction but they would like to hold events inside the barn, primarily on weekends from January through June. Events could have a maximum of 200 guests and catered food, and hours would be limited to 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., she said. • By a 5-1 vote, the board approved drive-up menu boards for McDonald's at 1550 Main St., which will be undergoing a remodel. Representative Kevin McAuley said the remodel, endorsed by the board in January, will probably start at the end of June. The remodel, part of the corporation's nationwide re-branding, will include two drive-up lanes. The five-foot-high digital menu boards that he proposed to comply with the form-based code, are smaller than in most communities, McAuley said. Several members said the boards need to be easy enough for drivers to read. Gammon made a motion to approve them with ability to add another six inches to the height. Lewallen voted no. • The board tabled plans for refacing signs at Circle K, 704 Main St., until next month, as members requested more information.

Head-on crash Sunday Two male drivers, one of them a 21-year-old from Ramona, each suffered leg fractures in a head-on collision near Old Milky Way and San Pasqual Valley Road around 5:45 p.m. April 2, according to the San Diego Police Department. The 21-year-old, driving a 2014 Ford, was eastbound on San Pasqual Valley Road negotiating a curve when he crossed into the opposite lane, colliding with a westbound 2002 Dodge driven by a 32-year-old, stated the report. The 32-year-old suffered the more serious fracture, said Sgt. Timothy Underwood, and both drivers were transported to a hospital. Neither driver was suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

COMMENTARY

Politics don’t matter in emergency room BY KEN MARUSHIGE o it’s Sunday. You’re watching your kid playing soccer and she takes a nasty spill. Her finger is pointing in the wrong direction, but the coach pops it back in. Now it’s decision time. Do you take her to the emergency room or not? In the best-case scenario, you make your decision based on how your kid is doing. What you don’t want is to have this conversation in your head: “It’s really swollen.” “Yeah, but the emergency room is really expensive.” “The joint doesn’t look right.” “Wait, is my co-pay $150 or $300?” The bottom line is that we all want a healthcare system that works like our roads, our plumbing, and nowadays, our Wi-Fi. When it’s working well, we don’t have to think about it. When it isn’t working, it makes a big difference. When we have to pay for it, we don’t want to pay too much. The basic premise of insurance is that having lots of people paying into the system allows healthy people, the chronically ill, and the victims of catastrophe to get quality medical care when they need it. Everyone can agree that our healthcare system needs fixing. We should not just accept the president’s statement that “the best thing politically is to let Obamacare explode,” or Speaker Ryan saying Obamacare is the law of the land for the foreseeable future. The health of Americans and their financial security are not bargaining chips. They are the end goal. I call on all Americans to contact their representatives in Congress to stop the finger-pointing and political posturing. Congress has access to industry executives, the policy experts, and a lot of data. We need to challenge them to dogmatically adhere to an ideology that says that people should be able to go to the doctor when they need to without suffering financial hardship or burdening others with the costs. They need to let go of where the ideas come from and judge them on how they will impact men, women, children, the healthy, the sick, the injured, the addicted, the poor, the middle class, and the elderly. At the end of the day, they need to ask themselves, “Does this give more Americans peace of mind?” When you’re driving home after five hours at the emergency room, you want to make sure your kid is comfortable, has her meds and a PE note. At that point you don’t care which party wrote the law or who it’s named after. Ken Marushige is a Ramona resident.

COMMENTARY

There’s a lot of smugging going on BY TEAL TURNER YOUNG can see from the letters you published March 30 that there is a catastrophic epidemic of smugging in Ramona. I saw some big flare-ups back in '08 but nothing like what has happened since our 45th president took up occupancy of the White House. I know you and your readership are really well-educated with enormous vocabularies. So, sure, I admit I am going to use an adjective as a verb and a noun, but it has some nifty uses! I will define what the verb and noun use is of "to smug" and as a victim or perpetrator of the noun "smugging" by providing some examples and personal insights into my experiences of smugging: You know when you have been smugged when someone clearly states as fact that, "Your family couldn't possibly be military if you are a Democrat," or "As a Republican you are a homophobic racist. Yes, you know you are." I smugged her by suggesting she read and watch credible news and political science sources like I do. As an expert, I can smug all I want, because I read one book/took one course/went to one meeting. And if I didn't do any of that, my friend did, so I am still an expert.You on the other hand, know very little. You just don't. Smugging is often best conducted when people believe what they feel to be fact. Smuggers seldom look you in the eye after their smuggery on social media. Most smuggings happen late at night, after mixing too much alcohol and news. Smuggers like to talk over their cell phone videography because you need

them to explain what is happening for you. They absolutely adore using political memes. You can tell a smugger amongst you by the way they will inform you about your poor manners, bad language and worse behavior in all situations — all the while saying the worst things possible, about you and others whenever possible, in the nicest, most "civilized" way possible. Lastly, you can tell if you are a smugger by how much it hurts after falling off your high horse into the mud of smuggery. Nobody wants to be around anyone splashing that much dirt around. Well, I hope your readership can use these words and identify this social plague now. I admit, I have been a smugger, and in weak moments still commit smuggery. I think I heard the protocol action is an open mind and an open heart. I fear our country and our children's future will become incurably affected if we don't start a communication and compromise campaign. These days, whenever I start to smug and say, "I just can't see or believe how someone sees or believes..." — life will step in and teach me how that point of view can happen every time like a demanding and very good professor. Nonetheless I hate to see so much smuggery going on in Ramona. Such a long, long fall off that high horse into the mud, you can hardly see clearly from all the muck being thrown around — and boy, does it hurt. It hurts everyone until we learn. Chairman of Stop Smugging Now, Teal Turner Young is a Ramona resident.

OUR READERS WRITE Install K-rails Re: Ramona's Centerline Median Two Death Corridors: 1. Cloudy Moon Drive and 2. North of Archie Moore. As mentioned in my last communications, I advised I sent a letter to one of you and have yet to get a response. Later I also advised all of you about my meeting with a good man, Caltrans Engineer Jose Luis Robles. Although Jose never made a commitment, I think his heart felt the compassion of the issue. I asked him if Caltrans could do a feasibility and cost estimate study for placing K rails at these two dangerous areas of Ramona's Hwy 67. I received a response from Caltrans. Basically it asks me to "kiss off." Maybe our esteemed Ramona Community Planning Group could ask Caltrans to come and address our RCPG about what steps we could take to try to put this life-saving improvement on Hwy 67. In my younger days, I would not let this matter go, but only Ramonans know the danger of the two stretches of 67 I have targeted. Unfortunately, Caltrans wants to wait till a few more of us die — perhaps they have a quota. I might be moving to blessed Texas soon and I need you guys to pick up a sword. To me, the answer is damn simple — install the K-rails and the "crash cushions." Go to : www.energyabsorption.com/products/ products_quadguard_crash.asp With all the talent Caltrans has exhibited in the past, I'm sure they can come up with a

very low-cost solution. And let’s do it NOW. One of you responded to my call for those of you who "have the balls." Might I remind you that the term has to do with “courage." I presume, per the last postponement of the issue at hand at the last RCPG meeting, this matter will be brought up at our next meeting with a resounding demand for action given to Caltrans, Dianne Jacob, our local state assemblyman and state senator, Duncan Hunter and Forrest Gump, who said "Stupid is as stupid does."

‘Indivisible’ means to stand together Rebuttal to Sandy Hurlburt: I’m glad that you are interested in Indivisible. I highly recommend it since it/we (200 members and growing) will be around for a long time. Let me clarify the name for you. “Indivisible” means to stand together. That’s what we do as we take on the Trump agenda. Yes, people expressed themselves at the town hall. You can describe it any way you like. It follows the tea party model of making our voices heard. I wasn’t in the town hall because I wanted to make sure that a peaceful atmosphere was maintained outside of the event. I also helped transition people to Collier Park, where Indivisible had a paid, permitted event. We, along with the Trump/Hunter supporters that we included,

listened to the town hall streamed live. Some people got rowdy. Indivisible folks from Ramona? Who knows? People may have gotten rowdy because these issues affect their everyday lives. This is a fine group of people who care deeply about their country. Let’s talk about civility. Is it civil for the president of the United States to have bragged about grabbing women by the genitals, being able to shoot someone on the street and get away with it, accuse a former president of a felony with no evidence, rate women based on looks, ban people based on religion, and claim that Mexicans coming into the U.S. are rapists and murderers? You don’t like that people called the president a liar? Don’t you care more about your president telling the truth? Do you care that the DOJ is investigating Mr. Hunter? In my article after the event, I thanked the Mainstage volunteers. I didn’t claim that you did anything illegal, I simply said that people shouldn’t assume that 125 people were let in ahead of the public since that would possibly be illegal (in my opinion). I did a search on the Republican Women of Ramona website and sent an email to the “contact us” link. Apparently it never reached you. Maybe you have issues with your website or it went somewhere else. We want to be congenial, not create a divide with those who disagree with our agenda. And, we are steadfast in our goals to protect and preserve American values. I appreciate your dedication to your group. Contact me at indivisibleramona@gmail.com and we can

chat over coffee.

Susan Conrad Ramona

‘Indivisible’ non-partisan; are you serious? Reading Ms. Conrad’s latest letter to the Sentinel would be amusing if it wasn’t so sad and misleading. I especially enjoyed the comment that “Indivisible is non-partisan and open to anyone who wishes to challenge the Trump agenda.” First, Indivisible was “fathered” by Ezra Levin, who until 2011 served Democrat Lloyd Doggett of Texas as his deputy policy director. He is now the first paid staffer of Indivisible. Indivisible co-founder Leah Greenberg works for Democrat Tom Perriello and supported his run for Governor of Virginia. And then there is Angel Padilla, another Indivisible major player who was a scheduler in the office of Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Illinois Democrat. Non-partisan, hardly. And then there is the lovely caveat, “open to anyone who wishes to challenge the Trump agenda.” So they are “open” as long as you agree with Indivisible’s agenda. Part of democracy in action, looks and sounds great — until you take the wrapper off the package. Tom McKelvey Ramona

District 50 deserves better COMMENTARY BY LARK BURKHART Our District 50 representative, Mr. Duncan Hunter, is under investigation for campaign finance violations. On March 23, 2017, the House Committee on Ethics announced it was deferring its inquiry at the request of the Department of Justice. The committee investigates ethical lapses, the DOJ investigates crimes, a significant distinction. On its April 2015 quarterly report, Mr. Hunter’s campaign committee began identifying mistaken charges, including a hotel in Hawaii. More mistakes and reimbursements were reported in July and October of 2015, including payments to Steam Games, The Center for Oral & Facial Surgery, and Christian Unified Schools. Following a request for clarifying information from the Federal Election Commission in April 2016, more mistaken charges were revealed. These involved $1,200 to a garage door company, $360 to a surf and skate shop, and payments to Mrs. Hunter. On April 28, 2016, the Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington requested that the Office of

Congressional Ethics investigate, citing these expenditures and the ambiguity of the explanations offered to the FEC. The CREW request also noted thousands of dollars in expenses for travel, lodging, and meals incurred during a Thanksgiving 2015 trip to Italy. None of these was identified as a personal expense on the April 2016 FEC report, including $216 for food and beverages paid to Gioiellaria Manetti, which is a jewelry store in Florence. Since then, citing an “abundance of caution,” more of these expenditures have been repaid. This phrase suggests Mr. Hunter saw no real problem but reimbursed his campaign account anyway. I doubt the DOJ is taking the same casual attitude. Mr. Hunter’s long drawn-out process of discovering more and more personal expenditures, which are strictly prohibited by FEC regulations, and then paying them back, does not erase the initial error, whether it proves to be ethical, criminal, or both. House Rule 23, clause 1, requires members to conduct themselves “at all times in a manner that reflects creditably on the House.” Don’t the communities of District 50 have a right to expect the same thing? Lark Burkhart is a Ramona resident.

Politics gives writer direction COMMENTARY BY JEFFREY R CRIMMEL My wife and I moved to Ramona from Arizona last August. We are temporarily living with our niece and eventually plan to move to Portland, Ore., to be with our daughter. The region of Phoenix where we last lived was called New River where the main entertainment was bull riding on Saturday nights and drinking every other night. A yoga studio 30 miles away became our connection to others of a like mind who expressed their concerns for the environment and other political issues close to ours. The move to Ramona and journey through the election process with our niece gave us a perspective we and the rest of the country saw play out on the evening news and presidential debates. I felt we had moved to another town like New River where no one of like mind lived. We are both born in San Diego and I grew up in La Jolla, so I recognize San Diego has always leaned to the right. I now write murder mysteries after teaching for 25 years in the California and Arizona school districts and had just finished the fourth in the Brain Bleed series (available at Unicorn and Whales Tail bookstores). I was interviewed by your paper and given a great review by one of your reporters who posted a story in the Sentinel and the La Jolla Light. I went into writer's block until Jan. 21 when my wife and I

went on the women's march in San Marcos and joined in with close to 10,000 people that wanted to express their views in a peaceful manner and stand up for what they believed. My wife started to do research and found a group in Poway. We had all but given up on finding anyone in Ramona who had concerns about the present administration and their representative. From that meeting and through a friend we met at the Ramona library (a beacon of light) we discovered a group called Indivisible Ramona and a meeting coming up soon. I have now been to three of these gatherings and I'm pleased that Ramona is a place where both views for this country can be expressed. The murder mystery I'm writing now has a direction and I'm targeting those groups (whoever they are) who attack Mosques, Synagogues and other minority religions with their hate. I use news in the story that is current as I lay out the plot and do my best to represent both sides of the political spectrum. I believe Ramona is undergoing a transformation due to the present politics of this administration and I'm thankful the Sentinel can remain a beacon of impartial reporting and allows all views to be represented. I continue to support the Indivisible Ramona group and am thankful I don't have to drive 30 miles to find like-minded people. They live in the same town as we do and for that I am grateful. Jeffrey R Crimmel is a Ramona resident.

FROM LETTERS, A5

Devoted to preserving American way of life I am a member of the Indivisible Ramona group. There have been some less than charitable descriptions of the group by Dr. Meyers and others in recent issues, so I would like to offer another perspective. I believe that is no secret that the November 2016 election was a shock to most Americans — even to those who fervently hoped that Donald Trump would be the winner. Since that time, rhetoric and threats that were previously regarded as loose-talk campaign slogans became a looming possibility. And for those of us who are passionate about justice, equality, truth, and the very best American traditions, it has become clear that those values need to be articulated and promoted. I confess that I have always taken some of my freedoms for granted. It never occurred to me that a U.S. election could be suspect. It never occurred to me that religious discrimination could become law in the 21st century. And I have always believed without question in the sanctity, and the necessity, of the free press that I learned about in grade school. Because the strength of our most cherished institutions appears to be in peril, I was glad to hear from a friend about the fledgling Indivisible Ramona group. Indivisible Ramona is devoted to preserving our American way of life. Its name is a perfect descriptor of its mission. Although there are many ways of achieving the goals we all share and of promoting the values we all cherish, it becomes difficult to find our common ground if we are divided and querulous. I am very fond of many people in my family and my beloved Ramona community who do not agree with me on a variety of issues. Our disparate viewpoints need not distract us from our sense of community and our concern for each other. Indivisible Ramona provides a vehicle for being involved in civic life. It puts me in touch with neighbors who also want to do their bit to keep democracy intact and thriving. Civic life can feel somewhat thankless at times; the benefits are often not immediate (despite the mythical checks coming from George Soros). When we work together in a group such as Indivisible Ramona, the daunting responsibility is bolstered by camaraderie, friendship, and mutual respect. There are civic, political, and religious groups all around me whose values I do not share. I do, however, recognize and respect their right to exist. It would not occur to me to malign and criticize them publicly.

American ideals champion their right to exist and to contribute in the way they see fit. Certainly this is a value we can all agree on. Susan Nelson Ramona

Indivisible Ramona effective, efficient Informed and active citizens are the foundation of a democracy. Indivisible Ramona is one among many groups that provide information and offer an opportunity for citizens to voice their thoughts about current issues. I joined Indivisible Ramona because it’s local. These are my friends and neighbors who care about our town, our state, our country. I joined Indivisible Ramona because it keeps me informed, providing sources for that information, so I make the judgment — not someone else — about the credibility of the source and the information. I joined Indivisible Ramona because of the efficient and well-organized meetings. We determine the most effective ways to gather our voices into a strong advocacy for maintaining the freedoms, privileges, and rights we are so fortunate to enjoy as American citizens. Contrary to what some would have you believe, we are not rabble-rousers consorting with paid individuals intent on disrupting the democratic process. We are simply a group of local volunteers deeply devoted to the institutions of democracy, such as a free press and public schools. And yes, we demand accountability from our representatives in Congress. I became interested in Indivisible Ramona when their tireless efforts persuaded Duncan Hunter to hold a town hall so that all his constituents, those who agree or disagree with his views, could engage with our elected representative. That’s a service to our community, and demonstrative of the group’s commitment to inclusivity, tolerance, and fairness. The recent presidential election has spurred passion on both sides of many issues. However, some of us are old enough to remember a turbulent time in the ’60s, when opposing voices were raised as America grappled with many difficult issues. And yet, our country not only survived, but I believe grew stronger and better from the discourse of dedicated citizens. When I join with other Indivisible Ramona members, I become a powerful advocate for my views and values. Isn’t that a democracy? Bobbie Plough Ramona

Friends of London Bakery owners plan April 8 benefit Friends of London Bakery owners plan a fundraiser to help the mother and daughter with medical bills, to maintain their budding business, and to make ends meet. The benefit will be at the bakery at 636 Main St. from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 8. Goodie bags, themed tea and lemonade, cupcakes, and a clothing display will be among features. Joanne Bennett opened the bakery on Sept. 3, 2016. That day her daughter, Paige Duffy, fell ill and was later diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a disease that damages nerve bindings, causing paralysis. Bennett was later diagnosed with cervical cancer and has been undergoing treatment. Both women are recovering from their illnesses but,

friends say, need help with medical bills, maintaining their budding business, “and just trying to survive, it has been difficult for them to make ends meet.” “If each of us gave $20, and there are 500 of us, that would help them immensely,” said Ramona resident Mary Moran, noting that “we can all use a little help every once in awhile.” “And while you’re there, they have the best scones and tea,” Moran added. Their dream was to open and operate the bakery together, “mother and daughter, and it is a wonderful bakery,” said Moran. For more information or to volunteer, contact Ana Bracamonte at 760-442-7633 or forkespoons@icloud.com.

Bulldogs win Jaguar Classic tournament Players strive for 4th consecutive league championship BY JOE NAIMAN For the second consecutive year Ramona High School's softball team won the Jaguar Classic tournament. The tournament concluded with April 1 semifinal and final matches at Valley Center High School. Ramona defeated Point Loma in a 2-1 semifinal, and the Bulldogs' 10-0 victory over Valley Center in the championship game utilized the 10-run mercy rule. "Our hitters did a fantastic job," said Ramona coach Kristina Wright. In addition to the contributions from Ramona hitters throughout the lineup, Wright credited the Bulldogs' defense. "This whole year our defense has been on point. They're doing a great job talking to each other," Wright said. "They're making plays when they need to."

Ramona's first Jaguar Classic game was played March 20 at Del Norte and ended as a 4-3 Bulldogs victory. Lauren Meitzler had hits in all three of her at-bats, including a double, while scoring twice and driving in one run. A North County Tournament game March 21 at Poway was an 8-4 victory for the Titans. Ramona returned to Jaguar Classic play March 23 at Grossmont. The Bulldogs held a 10-2 lead after 2-1/2 innings and settled for a 10-8 victory. Alexa Neil had two doubles and a single in five at-bats while scoring three times and driving in two teammates. A sacrifice fly and a walk in two of her plate appearances limited Seneca Curo to two at-bats, but one of those was a home run and she scored twice while driving in three runs.

Hanah Bowen had hits in all four of her at-bats and scored once. Meitzler and freshman Elle Roberts each homered in Ramona's non-tournament win March 24 at Rancho Buena Vista. Meitzler drove in three of the Bulldogs' runs in the 5-3 victory. Bowen pitched the game and struck out 11 Longhorns batters. Ramona returned to Jaguar Classic play March 28 at home against Christian. The 5-0 Ramona victory included hits in all three at-bats for Meitzler, who scored once and drove in two base runners, and a two-hit shutout by Bowen, who struck out eight batters. The score of Ramona's March 30 home win over Vista was 6-1. That Jaguar Classic game included a home run and a single by Roberts in three at-bats and two singles in four at-bats

for Neil along with two runs scored and two stolen bases. The win over Vista sent Ramona to the Gold Bracket semifinals of the Jaguar Classic. Point Loma scored the game's first run in the bottom of the third inning. Ramona's runs were scored in the top of the sixth when Neil tripled to drive in Roberts and Jordyn Fick singled to send Neil across the plate. The final against Valley Center began with two Ramona runs in the top of the first. The Bulldogs scored five times in the fourth and twice in the fifth for a 9-0 lead. Ramona's run in the top of the sixth in conjunction with the Jaguars' failure to score in the bottom of that inning triggered the mercy rule and ended the game. Curo and Jamie Roe both had home runs for the Bulldogs against Valley Center. Curo had hits in all three at-bats, scored three times, drove in

two runs, and stole a base. Roe had two runs batted in. Roberts had three singles in four at-bats, scored once, and sent a teammate across the plate. The only Valley Center base runner reached first on an error; Bowen threw a no-hitter while walking no batters and striking out seven. "It was a great day," Wright said. "They definitely performed." The tournament victories improved Ramona's season record to 14-3. The two weeks of four games apiece will not be repeated this month in the absence of rain-outs and makeup games. Ramona hosts Vista in a non-league game Thursday. The Bulldogs will be seeking their fourth consecutive Valley League championship. "The expectation is definitely there just from the girls themselves," Wright said. "They're ready for the challenges up ahead."

Team wins first two league matches

New players win sets

BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's boys volleyball team was victorious in the Bulldogs' first two Avocado East League matches of 2017. A three-game win March 28 at home against San Marcos was followed by a five-set triumph March 31 at home against Mission Hills. The victories gave Ramona an overall record of 10-10 along with the 2-0 league mark. "Very good week for us," said Ramona coach Kyle Adelman. That was a contrast from the previous week when the Bulldogs lost matches against San Dieguito Academy and Scripps Ranch. Those losses caused a pre-practice session March 27 in which Adelman and his players discussed such elements as accountability, mental toughness, and "small victories" not reflected in statistics. "I was unbelievably proud of the way the guys went through the week," Adelman said. The league opener against San Marcos was a 25-11, 29-27, 25-17 Ramona victory. "Handled them very easily," Adelman said. "We desperately needed that, just a match where we were able to put the pieces together."

The players maintained that attitude during practice March 29 and March 30. "It was a good change," Adelman said. That attitude would save the Bulldogs when Mission Hills recovered from losses in the first two games. Ramona began the match with 25-16 and 25-15 victories. "We rolled in game one and game two," Adelman said. Mission Hills led the third game by a 15-10 score at one point before the Bulldogs closed the final margin to 25-22. "We made a good run at the end," Adelman said. The failure to close the match was a threat to Ramona's mental strength. "This put us in a situation we were all too familiar with," Adelman said. The win also gave the Grizzlies the momentum advantage for game four. "The momentum really did shift," Adelman said. "They took it to us from the get-go." The fourth set concluded as a 25-14 Mission Hills triumph. "They were making good plays. We were not," Adelman said.

Ramona was able to shift the momentum for the fifth and deciding game. "These guys really had to dig deep," Adelman said. "We jumped out to a nice early lead." Mission Hills tied the game at 7-7, but the Grizzlies were not able to take the lead. The Grizzlies also tied the score at 9-9, 10-10, and 11-11. Ramona scored twice for a 13-11 lead, and Mission Hills once again came back to tie the game. "These are situations where the guys are used to not coming out on top. It's happened so many times," Adelman said. This time the Bulldogs scored the final two points for a 15-13 victory. "I feel so good for them. I'm so proud of them that they were able to really bear down," Adelman said. Ramona setter Casey Buggeln had 42 assists during the match. Ben Miller and Kaleb Sawlsville each had ten kills, Skylar Marushige and Matt Miller had nine kills apiece, and Matt McAllister contributed seven kills. The Bulldogs' final regular-season tournament, the West Coast Classic, will be played Friday and Saturday. "I look forward to maintaining this momentum," Adelman said.

BY JOE NAIMAN Although Ramona High School's boys tennis team lost a 10-8 match against Escondido at home March 28, Ramona players new to the team as well as returning players won sets. The Ramona doubles team of Erik Chavarin and Brandon Dennison won two of their three sets against the Cougars. Ramona freshman Boyd Siebert, who was playing as the Bulldogs' No. 3 singles player, won a 7-5 set against Escondido's No. 2 singles competitor. All of Ramona's set wins during their first two league matches were from players who were on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s varsity. Ramona victories against Escondido also included Brandan Ruland winning all three of his singles sets, and the doubles team of Cody Crenshaw and Mike Mazzola taking two of three sets. "I'm hoping that when we come back around the second time we'll be able to get them," Ramona coach Rose Darrough said of the Cougars. If a set is tied at six games apiece, a tiebreaking game to 7 points determines the winner. Four of the March 28 sets on the Riviera Oaks courts were decided by tiebreakers. "We didn't win one of them, but we have a lot of inexperience. They haven't played too many tiebreakers in competition," Darrough said.

Had Ramona won only one of those tiebreakers the match would have been tied at nine sets apiece and Ramona would have had the advantage of games won. "We would have won the match," Darrough said. The loss to Escondido and a 14-4 home loss March 30 against Fallbrook left Ramona with a Valley League record of 0-4 after the first round of league play, and for the doubles players team experience will be gained not just in playing matches. "We made some changes in our lineup this week so they've got some new partners," Darrough said. Darrough will continue to adjust the Bulldogs' doubles lineup. Ramona has a road match Thursday afternoon at Valley Center. Ruland, a junior, has not lost a league set during his high school career. He won the 2016 Valley League singles championship but broke his finger in a non-tennis accident prior to the 2015 league tournament, and Fallbrook's Riley Lenaway was that year's league singles champion. In the March 30 match Ruland took a 6-2 victory over Lenaway. "He played really well," Darrough said of Ruland. "He's not making many errors. Really good shot selection." Crenshaw and Mazzola won one set against Fallbrook.

Eagles beat Bulldogs in close league meet BY DAN BROWN Ramona High’s track and field athletes traveled to San Pasqual to face the Eagles in their first league dual meet of the season. Competition was close, but San Pasqual prevailed in the end defeating the boys, 74-61, and the girls, 69-67. San Pasqual has a solid team and Ramona head coach Sherri Edwards had hoped to begin the league portion of the schedule with a win with hopes of a possible league championship in 2017. Even though Ramona came out at the short end, there were several standout and

season best performances. Boys Januar Ramadhan ran his fastest time of the season in the 100-meter (11.02) and the 200 (22.7), winning both events and then anchored the winning 4x100 relay team with a time of 44.3. He also took second in the long jump with a jump of 20-1, helping amass 18 points for Ramona. Christian Gabriel won the long jump equaling his season best jump of 21-1. Caleb Berman won the 100 hurdles with a time of 15.36 and helped the winning 4x100 relay team win by running the first leg.

Ian Cirillo won the 300 hurdles in 41.2. Justice Mendoza took second in the 200 and 400 run with times of 22.89 and 54.35 and was also on the winning 4x100 relay team. Hunter Gurrola took first in the high jump with 5-7. Joe Lowery won the pole vault with a season best height of 11-0. Gabe Stallman took second in the shot put with a season best throw of 43-4. Girls The girls lost a nail-biter with only 2 points separating the teams. Freshman standout sprinter Trinity Beatty won the 100 dash with a time of 12.66 and took second in

the 200 with a time of 27.47. Karla Chairez won the discus with a season best throw of 89-7. Peyton White won the shot put with a throw of 29-9 and took third in the discus 83-6. Ally Luna won the triple jump with a season best 34-10 and placed second in the 800 with a time of 2:32.75. Morgann Wilson placed first in the 100 hurdles in 16.17 and second in the 300 hurdles with a time of 50.25. Mollie Pilley placed second in the 100 hurdles with a time of 17.651 and second in the long jump with season best jump of 15-3.

Whooping cough Parents of Ramona High School students received a health alert via email from the county of one confirmed case of pertussis, commonly called whooping cough, at the school. The email provided parents with information and resources. A typical case of pertussis starts with a

Antibiotics may lessen the severity of symptoms and prevent the spread of the disease to others.

Two educators receive Leadership in Biliteracy awards Two educators at Ramona Elementary School are recipients of Leadership in Biliteracy awards and will be among those honored at the Biliteracy Symposium celebration in the Marriott La Jolla on May 11. Ramona Elementary Principal Pixie Sulser and fourth-grade teacher Sandra Jimenez received their awards at the school on March 29. Sulser and Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., presented Jimenez with her award, and Staffieri surprised Sulser with hers. The San Diego County of Education Biliteracy Symposium reviews nominations from each district in the county and annually selects one or two employees from each district for the honor. Sulser learned that her nomination was the result of her

work as a teacher on assignment when she was the lead writer of Ramona Unified School District’s English Language Development Plan, organized professional training on the ELD standards, increased parent involvement in the district’s English Language Advisory Committee, and helped bring the Seal of Biliteracy awards to graduating high school seniors. Sulser was a teacher on assignment at the district office before her appointment as Ramona Elementary principal this school year.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

PHOTOS BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON

Standing and dressed in black, Kat Bradley as Lizzie Borden is surrounded by other members of the “Lizzie Borden of Fall River” cast: Kirby Green as Amy Robsart, Kelli Roseberry as Alice Russell, Susi James as Aunt Vinnie, Zerelda Stewart as Emma Borden, Meg Krause as Carlotta Sousa, and Minna Hopkins as Bridget.

Kat Bradley, seated left, as Lizzie Borden is pictured with Jennie Bowman as Mrs. Churchill, Susi James as Aunt Vinnie, Simon Hansen as Mr. Jenning, Dylan Hart as the Marshal, Frank James as Andrew Borden, and Kymm Hansen as Abby Borden in the BBS Playhouse production of “Lizzie Borden of Fall River.”

BBS production of ‘Lizzie Borden’ worth seeing Ramona’s theater troupe Out of the Box Players is midway through a two-weekend run of Tim Kelly’s “Lizzie Borden of Fall River,” and the production is worth much more than its $5 admission. There’s no need to travel down the hill when this talented cast is available to provide an evening’s entertainment.

Curtain is at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 7 and 8, in the BBS Playhouse, 321 12th St. When Juliana Bowman Stewart isn’t directing theater productions like Lizzie Borden at that address, she’s managing the Bonham Bros. & Stewart Mortuary there. The talented cast of 15 includes adults and high schoolers. They keep their audience

Artists open studios to the public this weekend BY JUDY NACHAZEL The 14th annual Ramona Open Studios Tour featuring 25 artists in 15 private studios located throughout Ramona will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, April 8 and 9. The tour includes paintings, sculpture, custom furniture, jewelry, glass, ceramics, metal, basketry, gourd art, and flintknapping. Award-winning artists and art instructors include: Molly and David Begent, Caroline Boydston, Lynette Bredow, Kitty Cantrell, Donna Davis, Susan DePriest, Lyn Feudner, Tom and Suzi Grubbbe’, Linda Kelly, Johnathan Martinez, Jolinda Marshall, Jerry Meloche, Ed Garner, Irma Pina-Garner, Nora Read, Dennis Schlentz, Lori Sutherland, Pamela Underwood, Dave and Kathi Vargo, Pamela Wilder, Nancy Wiley, and Helen Wilson.

JUDY NACHAZEL

Glass artist Jolinda Marshall is among the 25 artists who will open their studio doors to the public this weekend. Sponsored by Ramona Chamber of Commerce, the goal of the two-day event is to broaden the awareness and appreciation of the artistic excellence that exists in Ramona. Residents and visitors have an opportunity to enjoy a unique up-close and personal view of Ramona’s creative art community, visit with the artists in studio, and also purchase art.

Tickets are $10 each and are available at Ramona Chamber of Commerce, 2Create Gallery, Java Hut, Hatfield Creek Winery, and from the artists and at the studios on the days of the event. For more information and to view examples of the artists’ work, visit www.ramonaart.com. Proceeds go toward community events sponsored by the Ramona chamber.

guessing throughout this mystery and suspense-thriller. All of the action takes place in the Borden family living room in Fall River, Mass., from a hot August morning to an afternoon the next spring. The playwright offers a few twists to the Lizzie Borden tale based on an actual double ax murder that occurred in 1892. Rather

than reveal the entire plot for those who are not familiar with the crime, let’s just say that Lizzie’s father and stepmother don’t make it to the second act. Set aside two hours for this two-act drama with 15-minute intermission this weekend and you won’t regret it. —Maureen Robertson

Library art submissions due April 14 Artists have until April 14 to submit their work for the second juried art show at Ramona Library. The library is partnering with 2Create Gallery and Ramona Art Guild to provide art shows featuring Ramona and Julian artists at the library. Each quarter new work that revolves around a designated theme is placed in the library and a reception is held to introduce the artists to the community. The theme for May through July is “Cruising through Ramona in the

Summer.” Only wall art will be considered. “This theme should be interpreted broadly to include summertime in Ramona, from 4th of July patriotic themes, cruise night, summer landscapes, kids eating ice cream, etc.,” states the announcement. Those interested in submitting should send an email to LibraryRamona@gmail.com for an application and additional information.

Barona to host award-winning author Barona Cultural Center & Museum will host award-winning author and UCLA Assistant Professor of History Dr. Benjamin Madley on Wednesday, April 12, from 5 to 7 p.m. Madley will discuss his book “An American Genocide: The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe.” The free event is part of the museum’s lecture series Keyiw! Keyip! (Come! Listen!), and will be held at the Barona Community Center, adjacent to the

museum at 1095 Barona Road. Madley’s work centers on a government-funded genocide campaign against California Indians in the mid- and late-1800s and the resulting plunge in the native population from approximately 150,000 to 30,000. The book is available for purchase in the Barona Museum Store, and Madley will sign copies after the event. For more information, call 619-443-7003, ext. 219 or visit www.baronamuseum.org.

FROM SANDVIK, A1 were Rib Fest, Ramona Junior Fair Pie Auction, the Christmas Tree Lighting, Merchant’s Trick-or-Treat, and Ramona Rodeo. Her favorite, though, is Kaiser Kids where once a month she spent time and did crafts with terminally ill children at San Diego Zoo. The children, ranging in age between 5 and 16, received a pass to leave Kaiser Permanente’s hospital and go to the zoo, and were usually accompanied by their families. “I love making these kids feel important for the day,” she said. Sandvik, the daughter of Heidi and Billy Sandvik, loves being with children so much that she is planning to be a teacher, possibly for preschool age. “I’ve always been good with kids,” she said. “My mom is a preschool teacher.” The 2015 Ramona High graduate is a junior at Palomar College and plans to transfer to Cal State San Marcos for her teaching credentials. Sandvik sees being Miss Ramona as finishing a job that she started in 2012. She ran for Teen Miss in 2011; won the title in 2012; ran for Miss Ramona in 2014 and was the runner-up, earning the Miss Ramona Princess title; and then capturing the top crown two years later. Sandvik credited Miss Ramona 2012 Kilyaahwii Linton for mentoring her. Even though her reign is ending, Sandvik still has plenty to do, including three jobs: being a nanny, working at Ramona iTan, and teaching a class at Ramona/Julian Academy of Dance (RJAD). “I keep busy,” she said.

SHERIFF’S REPORTS

COURTESY PHOTO

Chersten Sandvik, Miss Ramona 2016, has fun visiting with children during the Merchant's Trick-or-Treat. Sandvik formerly competed with RJAD in categories that included character, gym, tap, and solos. She said the performances “really helped me feel confident on the stage.” She now teaches an American Sign Language dance class there, having learned the program from instructor Brittany Onder, who was Miss Ramona 2009. “It’s fun, kind of a relaxing dance class,” said Sandvik. She is also training her new puppy, a German Shepherd/Husky/Bullmastiff mix named Nala after the character in “The Lion King.” And then there are the family trips

FROM FIRE, A1 allows the state agency to provide fire protection services on behalf of the county. Among fire departments in the unincorporated county that are now with the county fire authority are Intermountain, San Pasqual, Julian/Cuyamaca, and Crest, said Ace. Other options to be presented at the water board meeting are raising the fire EDU (equivalent dwelling unit) fee — a $188.52 charge paid annually by residents — or user fees, said Ace. The fire EDU pays for about $2.5 million of the fire department costs with property tax revenue filling in the gap. The 2016-17 fiscal year contract with Cal Fire

FROM REPORT, A1 “It’s the report card for schools and school districts,” Grace said during the trustees’ workshop last Tuesday evening. “…We’re in the top third of the state of California in how our students are performing. The other thing that’s nice … we are increasing in the areas we need to be increasing.” Commenting on the orange suspension rate, trustee Bob Stoody said, “it needs to be a matrix based on not just how many suspensions there are, but with some type of a ratio with what your safety rating is. If you’re showing a high suspension and a high safety rating, you shouldn’t be bumped.” Grace agreed, saying “if it’s a student that the

to the desert, such as Ocotillo Wells or Glamis, where she and her 15-year-old brother, Will, enjoy riding quads. “It’s relaxing out there,” she said, adding that she prefers camping in the open desert where she can see an expanse of stars in the nighttime sky to that of being in a campground with trees. Leaving her Miss Ramona role is bittersweet, she said, but added: “I’m excited about my next adventure — finishing college.” Sandvik said she’ll probably lend her help with the pageant in the future. “I’m not leaving,” she said. “It’s just a good-bye for now.”

Among reports at the sheriff’s Ramona station: Sunday, April 2 • Petty theft of wallet, $200 cell phone and $30 worth of currency, 100 block 12th Street. • Male, 38, arrested, Gunn Stage and Watt roads, driving while license suspended or revoked.

was $5.8 million. To raise the fire EDU would take a two-thirds majority vote of the people and would cost the district around $250,000 to prepare and put it on the ballot, said the board president. Late last year the fire department replaced two ambulances that had exceeded their life expectancy. The ambulances, which went into service at the beginning of this year, cost the district $200,000 each. In the past two years, the water board raised the ambulance and paramedic user fees twice to help pay for the new ambulances and cover expenses. At its Feb. 14 meeting, the water board approved the purchase of a new fire engine

for $550,000 because the department’s reserve engine has exceeded its life expectancy by two years. The new engine will take 12 to 14 months to build. Ace said one of his major objectives is to have three personnel, instead of two, on each fire engine with one being a paramedic to cover those times a medical call comes in and the department’s two ambulances are already out on calls. “The question is how to fund that,” said Ace. In addition to that, the self-contained breathing apparatus that firefighters wear in a burning building have reached their life span and need to be replaced, he said. The department needs one for every firefighter,

amounting to about 25 masks at approximately $10,000 each. The fire department also needs new radios for the older engines so they are compatible with San Diego County’s new communications equipment, he added. The water board is also scheduled to approve the Proposition 218 letter that will be sent to customers with not-to-exceed sewer fees for fiscal year 2017-18, which begins July 1. The board meeting will start at 2 p.m. in Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. While there will be no dialogue between the board and members of the public, those who want to address the board may fill out a speaker’s slip.

school’s done everything they can to support that student, why are you being penalized for that?” College and Career Readiness scores will be released this fall, said Grace, presenting an overview of items the state will consider to determine if high school graduates are well-prepared, prepared, approaching prepared, or not prepared for college and/or career. Other categories expected to be available later are parent engagement, student climate, implementation of state academic standards, and basic services and conditions of schools. Grace called the accountability indicators a valuable tool to help the district make the right instructional choices and said she is not

satisfied that Ramona Unified is in the top third of the state. “We’re going to continue to push, push, push to make sure that our kids are ready for college and ready for career,” she said. The district has a strong instructional focus that drives its work and continues to look at teaching practices and evidence of student learning. “It’s all about our students learning, because we know from research that the most successful trait that a student can have is to be a self-regulated learner, and so we are working hard with our kids to make sure that they’re self-regulated learners and they can be successful in whatever they choose to do down the line,” she said.

The dashboard website, caschooldashboard.org, provides parents, educators and the community with information about school districts and schools in what the state Department of Education called “an easy-to-understand report card format.” State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said the dashboard “is a resource unlike anything we’ve ever had before. I think of it as a high-tech report card for our schools. Just as our children receive report cards with multiple grades in multiple subject areas, the California School Dashboard provides us with many different measures of a school’s performance – where it’s strong, where it needs to improve, how it’s doing over time.”
