Dance Centre says farewell
T
his year’s Ramona Dance Centre production of “A Star Studded Tea Party” will be its last. Owner and Artistic Director Chi Varnado has been teaching dance for 37 years. The studio’s signature has been its story ballets that include all the various dance styles as well as tumbling. Varnado believes that this cohesive work of art, in which all the students can participate, is more rewarding to the performers and the audience than what a typical dance recital can provide. “Younger students are involved with the more advanced dancers and can see what they’re aspiring to,” she said. “But, all good things must come to an end,” said Varnado. “Unfortunately, I can’t keep doing this forever. I still love what I do and wish I could do everything that calls to me. But there’s that thing about being human. Something’s got to give in order to keep growing, as a person. There are so many things out there in this world to learn about and pursue, and I feel that it’s time for me to make room in my life to follow SEE DANCE, A22

Grant funds first step in regional trail system writing approval from a state Habitat Grant Fund for $200,000 to purchase 160 acres of that 800 acres,” she said. “We are on our way.” The 160 acres is in an unincorporated area and is owned by the Chen family, which also owns about 340 more adjacent acres in Poway. The county must match the $200,000 with $100,000 of its own money, which will come from the Multiple Species Conservation Program acquisition funds, officials said. It’s not yet known what the selling price will be. The rest of the 800 acres needed for the trail project is owned by several other private parties. The partnership allows the county and Poway to pursue grants and other funding for the land purchases. The Trust for Public Land, a nonprofit that funds the creation of parks and protected lands, is also involved and has had preliminary talks with the Chen family, the county and Poway. A lot more money will be needed for the remaining land purchases and for the bridge and more parking. The bridge alone could cost as much as $6 million and would be a dual pedestrian/wildlife crossing built roughly a mile north of the Highway 67/Poway Road intersection.

Hikers start hike at the Iron Mountain Trail. Jim Hagey, a developer and avid hiker who proposed the entire plan, said Poway is now focused on an underground tunnel connecting the Lake Poway trail system to the Iron Mountain trail system at Ellie Lane, where a small parking lot exists. Hagey said the hope is that the tunnel, which would cost far less RAMONA SENTINEL’S

than a bridge, would be used by people to commute to work. They could store their mountain bikes in lockers at an expanded Iron Mountain parking lot that could double as a Park & Ride lot — meaning Caltrans might pay for it. The city has until June 15 to apply for a Caltrans grant designed for
such projects, Hagey said — projects that get people off the roads. The grand plan would also call for increasing the size of the Iron Mountain trail parking lot from its current 120 spaces and/or building a new staging area further north for cars and horse trailers. “If we can make that connection of all open space between Lake Poway and Dos Picos, that would be a ‘wow,’” Poway Mayor Steve Vaus said last Tuesday. Hiking in general and especially along the Poway trails to Mt. Woodson and Iron Mountain has become increasingly popular in the past decade to a point where some trails are crowded on weekends and holidays. The situation has led to safety concerns because hundreds of cars are often parked along Highway 67 at Iron Mountain and further north by a fire road that many walk on to get to Mt. Woodson and Potato Chip Rock. “The good news is people are getting out and they're exercising and they’re hiking and they’re bicycling on their mountain bikes and riding horses and appreciating the outdoors and the open space,” Jacob said. “And that’s a big part of The San Diego experience.” J. Harry Jones writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

BY J. HARRY JONES San Diego County will use a $200,000 state grant to help purchase 160 acres of undeveloped land near Poway’s Iron Mountain — the first step in a plan to create an interconnected trail system that stretches across a huge portion of North County. Once complete, the project — which would include a bridge or a tunnel across or below state Route 67 — would link Iron Mountain and the Lake Poway trails (Mt. Woodson and Potato Chip Rock) to Dos Picos County Park in Ramona. The county and city of Poway announced a partnership last year to have the project built, and said it would require the purchase of about 800 acres of land. The 160 acres is the first chunk. “This is extremely significant in regards to our entire trail system,” County Supervisor Dianne Jacob said last Tuesday. She said the long-term goal is connecting “the San Dieguito River park trails (and) the San Diego River trail, as well as going straight across and going into Ramona and Dos Picos Park.” Jacob announced the grant March 23 during a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating a 20-car expansion of the Iron Mountain trail parking lot. “Just yesterday we received in

Eleven vie for Miss Ramona, Teen Miss crowns BY KAREN BRAINARD Eleven enthusiastic hopefuls are busy preparing for the 2016 Miss Ramona and Teen Miss Ramona Scholarship Pageant on April 16. Open to the public, the event will begin at 6 p.m. at the Ramona Outdoor Community Center, 421 Aqua Lane. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased from contestants or at the pageant. For 2015 Miss Ramona Shannon Singleton and Teen Miss Megan Kelly, the night will mark the end of their reigns. “It’s been so much fun,” said Singleton, who has been in the pageant system for the past four years and was also Teen Miss Ramona 2013. “It’s definitely been full of laughter, full of memorable experiences and it’s definitely going to be hard to say goodbye. Hopefully I’ve done the best I could. I just hope I made a lasting impression on the community like they’ve left a lasting impression on me.” Vying for the 2016 Miss Ramona title, open to females ages 17 to 25 are: Chersten Sandvik, Angela D’Alessio, Mackenzie Mahaffey, Robyn Turner, Lucia Hernandez and Kortni Zeigler. Contestants in the Teen Miss competition for 13- to 16-year-olds are: MacKenzie Nolan, Cheyenne Williams, Ashley Dominguez, Cheyenne Dephilippis and Kamryn Jordan. “My mom ran for Miss Ramona when she was 17, and she was first runner-up, so it inspired me to run for Miss Ramona,” said Mahaffey, adding “I thought it would be really fun, too.” Fun it is, agreed contestants Nolan and Dominguez, who both competed in the pageant last year. “You get to meet a bunch of new people that you never thought you’d ever meet,” said Nolan. “I’ve done it, so I know the expectations a little bit better and I get to have a lot more fun this year.” “It’s a great experience” said Dominguez.
“You learn so many life skills and things to help you when you’re older, like interviews...and you meet new friends.” The experience is so positive that often those who wore the Teen Miss crown compete later for the role of Miss Ramona. Sandvik, 19, was Teen Miss Ramona 2012. “I really love how it has taught me so many life lessons and how it’s been such a positive impact on the interviews...I’ve nailed (job) interviews before because I’ve done this pageant,” she said. The scholarship pageant is organized by the 678 Pageant System that serves Ramona, Lakeside and Julian. Pageant Executive Director Jill Fleming said winners represent their community at events and volunteer their help, enabling them to gain confidence, public speaking experience and job interviewing skills, and learn about giving back. Working with Fleming is assistant director Brittany Onder, 2009 Miss Ramona, and past and present winners in the 678 Pageant System. “We like to call it our little family,” said Onder, who choreographed this year’s pageant dance routine to “Gold” by Britt Nicole. The theme is “Spring Flowers” and each contestant will decorate a clay pot. As pageant visitors arrive they will get a ticket to drop into the container of their favorite clay pot, and a winner will be announced. During the pageant the girls will present themselves in casual wear and in evening gowns, deliver a historical fact that they researched, and answer an on-stage question. Earlier in the day, they deliver a speech and are interviewed by judges — the latter amounts to the most points in the contest. “I tell the girls, don’t focus on gown, focus on interview because truly that’s when the judges pick their top,” said Fleming.

GUEST OPINION
Help stop increases in water rates
BY MARK WESTON ’m writing about a serious problem facing San Diego County and I’m asking for your help to protect our economy from predatory water rates and charges being considered by the board of directors of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. I invite you to take a moment and weigh in on this important issue. The MWD board is scheduled to vote April 12 on a rate proposal that would increase the cost of treated water for our region in 2017 by 62 percent and increase the cost of untreated water by 12 percent. The district’s public relation’s spin is that the “average” cost increase for its entire service area is 4 percent — but that number doesn’t apply to the San Diego County Water Authority. MWD’s methodology increases San Diego County’s costs while lowering costs for Los Angeles, without any rational basis for doing so. The huge proposed increase in the treated water rate is the result of a new fixed treatment charge that will be a permanent tax that doesn’t go away no matter how much or little treated water MWD’s member agencies actually purchase. It accomplishes this feat by basing the charge on treated water purchases during the time period 1998-2007; MWD’s approach is not supported by water industry practice or California law. MWD is also increasing by 6 percent the “wheeling rate” paid by the water authority to transport its independent Colorado River water to San Diego. And, it is proposing to increase property taxes by $112 million in 2017 and 2018, in a manner that is inconsistent with the laws that govern MWD. Lastly, MWD is continuing to impose rates and charges based on a methodology ruled illegal in superior court last year. The judge invalidated MWD’s transportation rates for 2011-2014, finding that they violated numerous provisions of California law and the state Constitution. He also ordered MWD to pay the water authority $188.3 million in damages and $46.6 million in prejudgment interest. The judge mandated that MWD “enact only legal transportation and wheeling rates in the future” and “set its rates based upon cost causation” – that is, MWD must charge for its services based only on what it costs to provide them. Despite the clear ruling, MWD is poised to adopt two more years of illegal rates. Please join me in asking MWD to make its rate model public, and produce a cost-of-service study and rates and charges that conform with state law. Please consider submitting a letter or email in opposition to the MWD’s proposed actions. The letter or email should be addressed to MWD Board Chair Randy Record and may be emailed to Dawn Chin, Office of the Board of Directors, at dchin@mwdh2o.com. Emailed letters should indicate in the subject line “Comment Letter – Rates and Charges for 2017 and 2018.” Mail written comments to: Randy Record, Chair, and Members of the Board of Directors, Metropolitan Water District, P.O. Box 54153, Los Angeles, CA 90054-0153 Comments are due to MWD by Monday, April l1. Thank you for your ongoing support of our region’s water supply reliability efforts. Weston is chair of the Board of Directors of the San Diego County Water Authority.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Heads up, SDCEA ‘‘Estates school enrollment declines.” I would like to clarify some of the information that was incorrectly stated in a letter in the Sentinel on March 24, 2016. Three San Diego Country Estates Association Board members voted to have a NEW recreation master plan done for $68,000. Bender and Brown voted against it. The old plan, which was done many years ago, could have been updated for a lot less since the boundaries of the Estates and open land available has not changed. The board members mailed a survey to homeowners for ideas and wants for future recreational use. The survey results were not done ethically since there was no signature required for submission. One household could submit as many surveys as they wanted. Where is the accountability? Areas of interest that were never addressed from the survey were from adults who wanted to see additional activities added for adults to the proposed additions. Yes, the Weiss House needs to be updated for the children, but to a tune of about $1.5 million? Oh, by the way, was this budgeted? And where did the money come from? Last year Scott Brown and Susan Benders’ political signs were stolen within the first few days of the campaign process. Well this year two very big (and costly) signs were slashed and removed from Ramona Oaks Road for Brown and Castberg. Childish politics? I urge all homeowners to attend the board meetings and see the board in action. A prior board member was asked to return to the Water Negotiating Committee to ensure that the new water contract would be completed in a timely and fiscally responsible manner. Once the board approved her appointment to the committee, the board president asked her if she was going to play “nice” this time. What does this mean? Was that polite? This is your board. If you want true transparency and unbiased decision making, support Scott Brown and Eileen Castberg. Sharron Daniels Ramona
More on political correctness I read with interest last week’s guest commentary “Some thoughts on political correctness.” Who can disagree with the concept of treating all other human beings with respect and compassion, without regard to ethnicity or beliefs? But then the author proceeds to lump all who are tired of “political correctness,” saying “…..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.” This is the kind of rhetoric that drives people like myself nuts! The author is a lawyer, sworn to uphold the law of the land. Certainly she can’t be telling all of us to give a pass to those who break the law. Name calling and stereotyping usually are indicative of someone without a cogent argument and should not be tolerated, it’s true. But our nation is a democratically governed republic, which means we are all subject to the rule of law. Without it, we would have anarchy. Tom McKelvey Ramona

GUEST OPINION
ON THE AGENDA
Second Interim Report adopted by the Board projects revenue falling by $1.7 million over the next two fiscal years, but budgets the spending of more than $4 million during that time. Even this is a more optimistic revenue projection than the one rejected by the Board at its previous meeting. The Board has no apparent sustainable long-term strategic financial plan. Rather than react to this projection and set spending priorities, the Board “kicked the can down the road.” Declining enrollment may make the revenue shortfall even worse, so a responsible Board should enforce spending cuts now in accordance with a sustainable strategic financial plan that scales spending to enrollment and revenue. According to the most recent Sentinel article, RUSD enrollment declined from 7,271 in fiscal 2002 to a projected 5,586 in fiscal 2017 (over 23%). This is surely due to changing lifestyles — fewer children per household, more children being raised in single-parent households, couples marrying at increasingly older ages, delays in starting families, as well as an aging population, etc. At the same time RUSD employment has already been reduced from 800 to 678 (or 650, according to another of the articles) — 15 or 19%. K-3 class sizes increased from 20 to 27, so teachers directly responsible for educating students (the primary purpose of schools) were laid off disproportionately to administrators who are more costly on average. It should be noted that the Board voted to hire another employee at its most recent meeting “to help with the district's new fiscal system.” A new fiscal system is not a long-term financial strategy — this hire is part of an ongoing lack of financial planning. Meanwhile, school maintenance was deferred. The

Trustees need long-term fiscal strategy BY GARY HURST The March 10 issue of the Sentinel included an article titled “Enrollment projection shows 14th year of decline.” The title highlights what was surely the most important matter on the agenda at the Ramona Unified School District (RUSD) Board of Trustees (Board) meeting — and the most critical strategic issue the Board must address. The Jan. 7 issue of the Sentinel included two articles and an editorial related to selection of a superintendent. A number of points worth the Board's consideration were made, but one stands out as a strategic necessity. As an attendee of the December Board meeting reportedly observed, the Board must represent the entire Ramona electorate, not a special interest “school community.” The Sentinel editorial pointed out that the Board is elected by the entire community that invests in RUSD, primarily through taxes, and the Board is elected to manage the community-wide investment. A disconnect between the Board majority and the taxpaying public is surely an underlying cause of multiple recent failures to pass school bonds requested by the Board. Some members of the public surely see the Board majority as part of an education/school oligarchy who do not responsibly exercise their fiduciary responsibility to manage the public investment strategically. This may seem too dollar-focused for some, but consider that it is tax dollars that are the strongest connection between many voters and the RUSD Board. The Board majority appears to be focused on near-term tactical manipulation of budgets rather than devising and implementing long-term investment strategies. A March 17 article in the Sentinel pointed out that the S T A T E

Sentinel has reported leaking roofs, donation of an air conditioner, etc. While most school districts have an athletic boosters' club to obtain donations and pay for “extras” for the athletic programs, Ramona has a “building boosters” club because the Board spent available money on other priorities. However, the Board did not ignore football — $500,000 was spent to replace the field. Trustee John Rajcic proposed a facility consolidation strategy that eliminates the district's two oldest schools (no longer needed as school enrollment declines). This strategy scales RUSD spending on building operation, maintenance and administrators to student enrollment. This is an example of a long-term investment strategy and the first-level implementing tactics, yet the Board has failed to adopt it. Having the perspective and skill set to manage the public's ongoing investment in RUSD so as to maximize education is surely the most critical duty of the Board. The Board should require demonstrated investment management experience from the next superintendent it hires. One Sentinel editorial asks if the superintendent has to be an educator. Surely a person who is only an educator cannot do the job, because nobody will get the opportunity to properly educate until the investment management issues are resolved. An investment strategy-oriented superintendent will surely be offensive to some of the “school community,” but the Board's current “strategy” can only result in bankruptcy. We all need a superintendent who will help the Board meet its long-term fiduciary responsibility to manage the Sources and Uses of Funds Statement, or risk losing local control of our public education district.

Forum to help seniors fight fraud

County removes dead eucalyptus on Ninth Street
County Department of Public Works and a tree contractor removed a dead eucalyptus tree that stood about 70 feet tall on Ninth Street, half a block south of Main Street, working all day March 29 and finishing the next day. The contractor, West Coast Arborists out of Stockton, estimated the eucalyptus tree was 48 inches in diameter, and said that eucalyptus trees have a harder time fighting off beetles and bugs because of the drought. In addition to the tree removal, DPW and the contractor are doing tree trimming in Ramona during a two-week project.
Seniors and caregivers are invited to a presentation on how to fight off financial scammers. The free “Don’t Get Hooked” forum, led by county Supervisor Dianne Jacob and Poway Mayor Steve Vaus, will be held May 12 at 9 a.m. in the Poway Community Park Auditorium, 13094 Civic Center Dr. Those interested in attending may register by calling 844-899-1597 or registering at

Speakers at the two-hour event will include scam victims, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Detective Maureen Perkins and Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood, and an expert on elder abuse and financial crimes. “Our goal is to arm seniors and caregivers with important information on how to avoid swindlers and other flim-flam artists,” said Jacob. “Many scammers see the elderly
Concert season to end with jazz band’s performance Ramona Concert Association’s last concert of the 2015-16 season will showcase the Coastal Cities Jazz Band on Saturday, April 9. Directed by Gary Adcock, the 17-piece group performs music ranging from popular tunes of the 1930s to present day. With a reputation of being one of the finest big bands in Southern California, the group features a number of professional musicians who have performed with the top big bands of the ‘40s and ‘50s. The band has presented concerts in Orange County, Yuma, Ariz., and the San Diego area since 1997. A “Salute to the Big Band Era” will be the theme of the Ramona concert at 7:30 p.m. in the Charles R. Nunn Performing Arts Center at Olive Peirce Middle School, 1520 Hanson Lane. Doors will
open at 7 for seating. Tickets at the door are $15 for adults and $5 for children and students. Concert association members will be admitted with their season tickets. Because this is the last program of the season, membership tickets for the 2016-17 Season will be available. All membership tickets include the five upcoming concerts. Admission to Saturday’s concert will be included for those who purchase their 2016-17 membership tickets that evening. “So that means six concerts for the membership cost of only $25 for adults and $55 for families (two adults and all children in the family),” said Marlene Robershaw, association president. “What a bargain, and right here in Ramona.” Details about the upcoming Season will be announced at Saturday’s concert.

Couple creates ‘unique and different’ shop BY KAREN BRAINARD Inviting, captivating and unique — that’s what customers will find walking through the doorway of Resurrected Rustic at 948 Main St. “I’m really pleasantly surprised at the way things turned out,” said Greg Freman, who owns the shop with his wife, Misty. Inside the store, which opened 1-1/2 months ago, rustic woods bathe in the warm glow of lighting provided by a variety of hanging fixtures, sconces and table lamps. Live and artificial plants, tree branches with hanging accessories, red-brick archways, and chalkboards add to the effect of a comfortable, homey atmosphere. It was all created by a couple who wants to make it a family- and community-oriented “happening” spot. The furniture in the store is made of reclaimed wood and created by Greg, who through a means of necessity years ago discovered he had a knack for making unique furnishings. When the Fremans bought their house in Ramona 17 years ago at the height of the market, Greg said there was no money left in the budget for furniture. “The whole inspiration started when I built a dining room table,” he said. “And I never worked with wood before. It came out nice and it actually stood up.” Using white pine, he patterned the table after one he had seen in an antique shop, and it only cost him $40 in materials. When friends saw it, they wanted a table. “I kind of had the bug...it was kind of therapeutic,” he said. As the owner of Tropical Air Inc., a heating and air conditioning business, Greg found the furniture-making was

When he decided to try reclaimed wood, he built an armoire. “It was really unique. It fit different genres depending where you put it,” he said. “Then I started building everything out of reclaimed material.” The wood came mostly from barns and old fencing. The idea of opening a shop started about 10 years ago, Greg said, but between their business and trying to find the right location, the years passed until they found the shop on Main Street, next to the Ramona Chamber of Commerce.
Untreated hearing loss may be far more obvious than hearing aids
With approval from the landlord, they removed the flooring, taking it down the concrete slab, the ceiling, exposing beams and three skylights, and walls, revealing the original wood. Greg said that as he tirelessly pulled out blown-in insulation Ramonan Ray Vorlicek poked his head in to see if he needed help, explaining he had a construction background. Greg politely declined, but as worked continued, he eventually took Vorlicek up on the offer. “Ray Ray was a huge, huge help,” he said, using their affectionate name for the assistant. “He has every tool known to man,” added the Freman’s 8-year-old daughter, Cienna. Also helping them has been Misty’s brother, Sean Flinn, who was visiting from Arizona and decided to stay awhile. Greg lightheartedly pointed out that while setting up the furniture and accessories he and Misty realized they were creating sections, like in a department store: bedroom, dining, bath, living room, garden and home decor. They also sell jewelry from a vendor who repurposes materials, and are distributors for Young Living Essential Oils, which are infused inside the store. Two distributors provided some of the merchandise they sell, he said. “We’re all about trying to do unique and different stuff,” noted Greg. The couple plans to offer sewing classes, utilizing Misty’s skills, and chalk paint classes. Other ideas include using their side patio for family outdoor movie nights, band performances, Saturday morning bikers’ breakfasts, and raising money for charities.

Family-run business acquires Mt. Woodson Golf Club
Mt. Woodson Golf Club is under new ownership, and improvements to the course and clubhouse are underway. Alliance GCP LLC, a family-run business, purchased the golf course from SPE GO Holdings/Textron on Feb. 19. Alliance is led by former San Diegans Daryl Driscoll and his son, Shawn Driscoll. Although the Driscoll family now lives in Las Vegas, they maintain ties to the county and visit frequently, stated a press release. Ron Gorski, a Ramona resident, is continuing as general manager of Mt. Woodson Golf Club, and said he has worked in the golf industry with Daryl Driscoll for many years. Among upgrades at the course are improving
green side bunkers, repairing tee boxes, and improving landscaping and on-course restrooms. The clubhouse will contain the Stony Mountain Bar and Grill. Other plans call for a junior golf program and hosting charitable events, including those that will benefit military families. Daryl Driscoll, who as a youth played in San Diego’s Junior Golf program, comes from a military family and formerly worked at the Admiral Baker Military Golf Course. As a member of the Professional Golf Association for over 25 years, he had long been interested in obtaining Mr. Woodson Golf Club, according to the release.

Write more effective headlines
I
t’s a funny thing about writing copy: Everyone thinks they can do it well. Ten minutes later they realize it’s tough work. Consider the challenge of writing headlines to lure readers. The headline should grab readers’ attention, provide enough information to whet the appetite, and encourage reading your complete message. Do it well and you have a successful marketing piece. Do it poorly and you’ve lost your audience. Every business needs to market itself well to survive and thrive. So consider using these types of headlines to tempt readers, capture attention, and provide hints of the benefits to follow. • Ask questions. You’re sure to engage readers by asking a pertinent question. Something like “Don’t you know how to increase your sales 50 percent by year-end?” might do the trick. • Issue commands. The more active your headline, the more active the reader. “Don’t let this opportunity slip by! Call today!” is better than “This is a great opportunity!” • Explain how. “How to” headlines are reader benefits masquerading as article titles.
“How to get noticed by more customers” garners more attention than “Make more customers notice you.” • Drop names. “Rob Weinberg LOVES our product!” will be more effective than “Men love our product!” Readers pay more attention when they recognize the name of one of your customers. You’ll need to get permission before using my name, though. • Use statistics. “American Widgets lowered manufacturing costs 35 percent just by using our software” makes readers sit up and notice. Obviously, a good headline (under seven words, please) makes the reader want to learn more by exploring the article, brochure, or ad. And asking provocative questions or making outrageous statements can create curiosity. Only you’d better deliver on your promises. If you ask a question, the answer had better be forthcoming — and quickly. If you promise to solve a problem, you’d better offer a viable solution. Working with these simple rules, you’re sure to improve your results and increase your sales.

Bulldogs qualify for Jaguar Classic finals BY JOE NAIMAN Most young athletes take advantage of a day off from school by getting together to play games, so the five games Ramona High School's softball team played during spring break weren't an imposition to the players. If weather permits, the Bulldogs will return to the diamond on Saturday, as they have qualified for the Jaguar Classic tournament finals. "I thought the girls did so well,” said coach Kristina Wright. “They made adjustments at the plate. Our pitching staff did a great job, too." Ramona was victorious in the three Jaguar Classic games and two non-conference games during spring break last week. Alissa Hiener threw the shutout in Ramona's 3-0 tournament win March 26 at home against Bishop's. Hanah Bowen had mound duties for the Bulldogs' home game March 28 against Patrick Henry and shut out the Patriots in the tournament game with a 10-0 final score. The March 29 tournament game at Valhalla went into extra innings, although a Ramona run in the top of the eighth gave the Bulldogs a 2-1 victory. "They gave us a tough schedule, so I

Ramona will face Valley Center in Valley League play later this season. Ramona's league schedule begins with an April 13 game at Oceanside. Bowen shut out Carlsbad in the March 30 non-conference game on the Lancers' diamond while Ramona's offense contributed to the other end of the 10-0 final score. A 4-2 non-conference win April 1 at Rancho Bernardo concluded the
Bulldogs' competition portion of spring break. The Ramona players returned to school Monday with a 10-3 season record. "I think overall we did very well making adjustments," Wright said. The players' performance could lead to many of them having spring break duties after their Ramona High School graduations. Wright, who played softball for the University of Notre Dame after graduating from Ramona High School in 2008, noted that college softball teams play during spring break. "Might as well get used to it now," she said. After Wright graduated from Notre Dame, she returned to Ramona and works as a personnel technician in Ramona Unified School District’s human resources office. In October 2015 she returned to the Bulldogs' softball program as the head coach. She replaces Cori McDonald, former Ramona High math teacher who is now the school librarian. This year's varsity roster has 14 players. "They are just fighters out there,” said Wright. “They do such as good job at whatever it takes to push runs across. The roster is so full of talent, so as a coach it makes my job a little bit easier."

PREP BASEBALL
Bulldogs struggle in tourneys BY JOE NAIMAN Valley League baseball play begins next week, and coach Dean Welch is hoping that the Bulldogs perform like they did in league play last year when a 13-2 record resulted in the league championship. In the first four weeks of this season, Ramona had a 3-9 record after an April 1 loss to Torrey Pines. “We’ve got a week to go to get it right,” Welch said. “We’ll work hard to turn it around.” Ramona’s season began with a 2-3 performance in the Hilltop-Lolita’s Tournament. One of the wins was a 1-0 victory March 15 at Poway where senior Dylan Spacke pitched a one-hitter while striking out eight. The other triumph was the March 9 opener at home against Rancho Buena Vista. The losses were to La Costa Canyon, El Capitan and Granite Hills. The Bulldogs were in the Premier Division of the Lions Tournament. Ramona’s only win in four tournament games was on March 22 against Narbonne High School of Harbor City. The Gauchos had a 2-1 lead entering the final inning before two Ramona runs in the top of the seventh resulted in a 3-2 Bulldogs triumph. “That was a good win,” said Welch. “They play a different brand of ball, so it
was good for us to experience that.” Highland High School of Palmdale had a 9-3 lead in the March 21 game before Ramona narrowed the deficit. The final score was 9-8. Ramona’s other pool play game was a 12-4 Bonita Vista victory. St. Augustine scored in the bottom of the seventh for a 6-5 win in the consolation game. “We can’t seem to get over the hump right now,” Welch said. “We’re struggling to find an identity at this point.” Ramona’s first three North County Conference tournament games were losses to Classical Academy, Poway and Torrey Pines. Poway and Torrey Pines are ranked among the county’s top 10 teams. “We played a really tough schedule,” Welch said. “We still want to come away with the wins.” The first week of Valley League play will include Ramona facing Fallbrook, whose 11-4 record placed second in last year’s final standings. In 2015 Ramona’s Blake Workman and Fallbrook’s Andy White shared Valley League pitcher of the year honors. Both were seniors last year. “I think offensively we’re going to be okay,” Welch said. Welch isn’t ignoring the adage that defense wins games. “That’s what we’ve got to shore up,” he said.

Bulldogs split swim league opener Powell lowers school record in 100 butterfly
BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s boys and girls swim teams will travel to Escondido’s Baker Street Pool for a league meet against Escondido Charter on April 7. The Ramona boys will take a 1-0 Valley League record into their meet with the White Tigers while the Bulldog girls will be seeking their first league win of the season. Ramona’s March 24 league opener at home against Oceanside was the Bulldogs’ third meet in seven days. “We’ve been busy,” said boys and girls coach Jolyn Yanez. On March 18 the Bulldogs traveled to Monte Vista for a dual meet against the Monarchs. Ramona’s boys were on the preferred end of the 112-55 final score while the Bulldog girls prevailed by a 92-52 margin with several position points not being filled due to insufficient swimmers. “My girls all came down with this horrible illness that everybody has gotten,” Yanez said. Ramona’s boys captured the first-place points in eight events including all three relay races. Spencer Schwegler, Kyle McLoughlin, Brandon Powell and Ethan Blackburn won the 200-yard medley relay in 1:49.07. Blackburn, Jacob Pradels, Dawson Webster and Trevor White had a 200 freestyle relay time of 1:39.74. Schwegler,
Jacob Powers, White and Powell swam for 3:37.97 in the 400 freestyle relay. Powell won the individual 200 freestyle race in 1:53.83, which is a CIF meet consideration time, and the 100 butterfly in 54.70 seconds. Blackburn won the 200 individual medley with a consideration time of 2:21.68 and the 100 freestyle in 52.84 seconds. Schwegler had a time of 1:04.58 to win the 100 backstroke. The girls won all three relay races and four individual events. Carney Flinn, Samantha Goldstein, Shenen Utech and Maddie Schwegler swam the 200 medley relay in 2:20.97. Goldstein, Sophie Mittman, Bryn Jordan and Katie Szakara won the 200 freestyle relay in 2:02.83. Szakara, Mittman, Flinn and Schwegler had a 4:31.79 performance in the 400 freestyle relay. Schwegler won the individual 200 freestyle event in 2:15.33 and the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:24.63. Szakara had a winning 50 freestyle time of 28.43 seconds with Goldstein taking second place at 30.40. Flinn was the first 500 freestyle finisher 6:39.45 after the race began. Approximately 60 percent of Ramona’s swimmers posted season best times at the March 19 Mission Viejo Invitational. “The kids did a great job,” Yanez said. The Mission Viejo Invitational included preliminary heats and finals for those whose preliminaries times were among the 20 fastest. In the March 10 dual meet at Del
Norte, Powell swam the 100 butterfly in 52.34 to break Garrett Glaudini’s 2014 school record of 52.73. Powell broke his own record twice at the Mission Viejo meet. His swim of 52.22 ranked fourth in the preliminaries and he finished fifth in the championship race with a new school record of 52.17. “No complaints about that whatsoever,” Yanez said. Powell also made the finals of the 50 freestyle with times of 23.13 in the preliminaries and 23.20 in the consolation final to place 17th in both. Times in meets outside the CIF San Diego Section may be used as qualifying times for the CIF meet, and Powell lowered his CIF consideration time at Mission Viejo. White posted a CIF automatic qualifying time of 1:50.44 in the 200 freestyle to place 13th in the preliminaries. His finals time of 1:50.87 placed 17th. White finished 24th in the 500 freestyle preliminaries but did so with an automatic time of 5:04.75. Spencer Schwegler lowered his 100 backstroke consideration time to 1:02.22, and Webster swam the 100 freestyle in a consideration time of 53.92. Blackburn reached the finals in both of his individual events, improving his 50 freestyle automatic seed with an 18th-place preliminaries time of 23.14 and then an 11th-place finals time of 22.64 seconds while lowering his 100 freestyle consideration time to 50.88 with an 18th-place preliminaries
finish and 50.48 while taking 15th in the finals. Ramona gained automatic qualifying status in both freestyle relays with Powell, McLoughlin, Pradels and Blackburn swimming the 200 event in 1:35.43 and Schwegler, Powell, Webster and Blackburn posting a 400 time of 3:29.78. In the girls races, Szakara lowered her 50 freestyle consideration time to 27.29 and earned 100 breaststroke consideration status with a swim of 1:09.57. A scoring error altered the margin by which the Oceanside girls defeated their Ramona counterparts in the Valley League opener, although the Pirates won with either score. The official score was 86-81 and the true score was 79-76. “This cold really knocked my girls team out,” Yanez said. A swimmer is limited to two individual events and two relay races in each meet. Ramona had a 64-61 lead with nine of the 11 races completed, but Goldstein was Ramona’s only entrant in the 100 breaststroke and the Pirates fielded all three swimmers each team is allowed. Goldstein gave Ramona 4 points for second place while Oceanside took 11 points for first, third and fourth.The official scoring did not reflect Ramona’s sweep of the top three 50 freestyle positions. Szakara won that race in 28.68, Maddie Schwegler swam her two laps in 28.74, and Megan McLoughlin raced for 28.80.

Prep Girls Basketball
Bulldogs’ Mattern named Valley League Player of the Year BY JOE NAIMAN Valley League girls basketball coaches selected Ramona High School junior Chiara Mattern as the league's 2015-16 player of the year. The 10 all-league players included three Ramona competitors. Kylee Scheib joined Mattern on the first team and Hannah Farhat received second-team distinction. The Valley League has six teams. Ramona posted a 10-0 league record for the third consecutive undefeated season and fourth consecutive league championship including the 2012-13 tri-championship. Fallbrook's second-place 8-2 record reflects two losses to the Bulldogs by a combined total of 20 points. Oceanside and Valley Center each had 5-5 league records. Six of Ramona's league wins were by more than 30 points. "There definitely wasn't anyone who came close to us," said Coach Dan Marshall. League coaches selected their first and second teams before choosing Mattern as the player of the year, but Mattern received the initial first-team berth. "Every coach just said, 'Let's take her off the table,'" Marshall said. "They clearly recognized her as the top player. There wasn't even a discussion." Scheib was the second addition to the first team. "They took those two players off the table right there," Marshall said. That gave Ramona two of the five first-team allocations. "It's nice," Marshall said. "I'm very proud of the girls." Mattern scored 31 points in Ramona's 66-57 victory Jan. 29 at Fallbrook to become the first Ramona girl with more than 30 points in a game since London Houchin during the 2005-06 season. "She basically had her best games against the best teams," Marshall said. "The rest of the time she was scoring 14 to 20 points and only playing a quarter and a half or two quarters." Guarding Mattern did not prove to be successful for the Bulldogs' league opponents. "She can still get her shot off and she can still destroy
opposing teams' defenses," Marshall said. Mattern was also selected the team's Most Valuable Player at the Bulldogs' post-season banquet. "She's a tremendous kid, works hard," Marshall said.
The team banquet added the Joe Bess Coaches' Award and the Defensive Player of the Year honor to Scheib's first-team Valley League recognition. "It's nice that the coaches recognize a player like
Kylee," Marshall said. "She does all the little things." The team banquet also included Most Improved honors for Mackenzie Griffin. The San Diego Union-Tribune all-academic team that recognizes juniors
and seniors with a grade point average of at least 3.0 included Mattern, Scheib, Farhat, Griffin, Leah Green and Emily Sojourner. Scheib was also on the 2014-15 Valley League first team and Mattern was on
last year's second team. Mattern, Scheib and Farhat were Ramona's three returning starters from 2014-15. Mattern is a small forward, Scheib played point guard for the Bulldogs, and Farhat was a shooting guard.

Winding Down BY DAVE PATTERSON
You can’t beat homegrown vegetables
A
s previously mentioned, my wife and I enjoyed a dinner recently that was as good as any meal I can remember. The dinner was made up of garden fresh broccoli, cauliflower, homemade bread and a cool home brew. Cost, about $2 per person and a small investment in time. We have two 4-foot-by-12-foot box gardens that we feed with compost of seasonal grasses and manure from our chickens and our neighbor’s horses. This combo worked well for us, but you don’t need the space or the compost to make your garden grow. Over the years we have experimented using different garden techniques, but the one our other neighbors used this year seems perfect for homeowners with little space and even apartment dwellers if you have a small patio. They purchased a couple of
medium-sized garden soil bags and used them as planters. Genius! First they placed the bags on an old piece of wood laid across a couple of sawhorses to keep it away from slugs and small hungry animals. They then punched several holes in the bags for drainage and flipped the bags over. Next was to cut an opening while maintaining the integrity of the sides and a 2-inch border around the outside. What’s left is a really nice planting area for your veggies. For someone with a small porch, perhaps one bag will do and you might not need to put it on a stand at all if your aren’t at the ground level. This type of garden is good for plants with shallow roots that sit close to the ground like lettuce, beets, chard, baby carrots and radishes. Larger plants like broccoli might need deeper roots to stay upright or some
type of cage for support. The quality of homegrown veggies cannot be matched at the store, and the nutritional value will be very high. Sadly it’s already the middle of March and already too late to plant the leafy veggies, so you might want to put this idea away until next October. But don’t forget! For watering your small garden, try installing a couple of rain barrels. One of our readers sent in this recent notice: Home Depot in Poway had one on display the other day. It was around $80 but has a $75 rebate! Water your garden for almost nothing, and enjoy healthy and tasty food. For the deeper gardens, I recommend growing cabbage. Cabbage is often not thought of a gourmet food because what we buy at the store is cheap, plentiful and often old and bland. However, if you haven’t picked a cabbage and immediately consumed it, you won’t have any idea how glorious the flavor is. My favorite method of cooking a fresh cabbage is to heat up a pot of water to boiling and then turn off the heat. Peel a few layers form the outside of the cabbage, slice it into four or six sections and drop it in the hot water to steep for no more than 20 minutes. Drain the water, serve with butter, or butter with chopped garlic. Superb! Dave, a Ramona resident, asks readers to send their suggestions or questions to dpatterson998@yahoo.com.
Foundation presents $17,000 in grants Three nonprofits recently received grants from the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet Foundation, the grant-giving arm of Ramona Food and Clothes Closet Inc. Receiving grants totally $17,000 from foundation president Mary Halliday were In His Steps Christian Recovery Homes, $10,000; Ramona Sports Association, $5000; and Hearts and Hooves Therapy, $2,000. Accepting the check for In His Steps was Robert Denny, director and chairman of the board for the Christian recovery homes created to help men and women with life controlling issues such as drug and alcohol addictions. Residents enroll for a six-month to one-year program with classes six days a week and Sunday church attendance. Ramona Food and Clothes Closet has been an annual supporter of In His Steps for many years. Jason Ochoa, Ramona Sports Association treasurer, accepted the grant for that organization. Ramona Sports Association goals are to keep youngsters safe, off the streets and out of gangs by helping them get involved in sports teams, starting with Pony Baseball League for 4- through 16-year-olds. At least 375 Ramona children sign up for Pony League Baseball. To ensure that all children have the opportunity to participate, the association offers part or full financial assistance. The fee to sign up for the season includes a uniform and all of the costs for the field such as maintenance, water bill, electric bill and umpires. The coaches and managers and the board are all volunteers. “Ramona Food and Clothes Closet Foundation is very pleased to be a supporter of this association and what they do for our youth,” said Halliday. Hearts and Hooves Therapy enhances the lives of children and adults, any age and ability, with a different kind of therapy. The
Melissa Sargent, with daughters Kylee and Kinlee, accepts a check for $2,000 for Hearts and Hooves Therapy from Mary Halliday. nonprofit uses mini-horses and other animals to teach basic horse safety, hoof care and correct grooming to those who are wheelchair bound and those with conditions such as autism and Down syndrome. Its volunteers incorporate age and ability appropriate educational games into each session to teach confidence, courage and respect with their on-site sessions. They also travel off-site and visit senior centers, schools, assisted living facilities and individual homes. Accompanying Melissa Sargent, Hearts and Hooves Therapy president/founder, when she received the foundation grant were her daughters, Kylee and Kinlee, who assisted their mother for the day. More information about Ramona Food and Clothes Closet and its foundation is at 760-789-4458 and www.foodandclothescloset.org. The nonprofit’s thrift store and offices are at 773 Main St.

Faith & Family Night at Petco Park benefits recovery homes A group will be going to the San Diego Padres vs. New York Mets game as part of Faith and Family Night at Petco Park on Saturday, May 7. The Padres put together the Faith and Family Night package that, in addition to the baseball game against the Mets at 5:40 pm., will include a post-game question-and-answer faith testimony with Padres players and a post-game concert featuring Christian singer Lincoln Brewster. “An added bonus this year is all in attendance will receive a brown hooded sweatshirt,” noted Jim Tate, Ramona resident helping to coordinate the fundraising event. The North County Faith & Family 4 Fun group based out of Ramona added some items and made it a fundraiser for In His Steps Drug and Alcohol Abstinence Program in Ramona. The $25 ticket includes the Padres Game, Padres Player Testimony, Lincoln Brewster concert, hooded sweatshirt, and a white event T-shirt with information on game, concert sponsors, participating churches and In His Steps Christian Recovery Homes. Each $25 game ticket will also include an opportunity drawing ticket for prizes. Two years ago the Faith and Family 4 Fun Group numbered 330 people mostly from Mountain View Community Church and Christian Family Schools of Ramona and Poway. Last year the total was 850 people from at least 10 churches and groups involved. Each group raised funds for selling the tickets and also for In His Steps, said Tate. This year congregations from Ramona and Poway will participate. From Ramona will be Mountain View Community Church, Ramona Lutheran, Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, First Congregational Church, Ramona Awana and In His Steps. From Poway will be St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church, Living Way Church and Christian Family School of Poway. Tickets are available from the participating churches and groups or by contacting Tate at 760-445-5650 or jimtate@jgtate.com. Faith And Family 4 Fun is looking for sponsors to underwrite the cost of the shirts and providing tickets to In His Steps clients, said Tate. “We are also looking for churches who want to earn a portion of the proceeds for their nonprofit organization by selling tickets and having a group go and join in the ‘Fun,’” he said. Interested sponsors and churches may contact Tate.

Ramona Homes & Real Estate Coldwell Banker Country Realty celebrates at Awards Party
C
oldwell Banker Country Realty celebrated another successful year at an Awards Party held to show appreciation to its agents. Calling 2015 a banner year, Broker/Owner Katie McNorton said more awards went to the agents than since the collapse of the national economy in 2009. “The real estate market in Ramona continues to improve year over year, and we look forward to a good year in 2016,” said McNorton. This is important to our community as a whole, to each homeowner, and to the real estate industry, which trickles success to many different industries as business improves.” At the heart of the company are the agents, said McNorton. “The individuals who serve the buyers and sellers work diligently to accommodate their clients in helping them preserve and protect one of their most important assets — their Home,” she said. “Whether buying or selling, the real estate agent is in the middle of the process, passionately working to make the purchase or sale as smooth as possible.” Awards given by Coldwell Banker have tough requirements, noted McNorton. Each level requires a significant number of transactions closed. Award recipients included: Sharon Quisenberry, Golden Eagle, signifying the top honor given, the International President's Premier Award. Karen Dye, Crystal Eagle, representing the International President's Circle award. Trudy Brodbeck, International Sterling Award. Susan Michalek, International Diamond Award. Gayle Wright, International Bronze Award. Kim Tarbell, International Sterling Society Award. "We expect to see a lot more of our agents receiving awards for 2016,” said McNorton. “They are ALL working very hard, business is good, and we thank Ramona for allowing us to be of service." Coldwell Banker Country Realty is at 2130 Main St. and may be contacted at 760-789-6474.
