BY KAREN BRAINARD With no viable solutions yet for parking along state Route 67 near the Mt. Woodson trail, Ramona Community Planning Group took two steps to initiate some action. “You go down on a Saturday morning and it’s crazy,” said planning group chair Dan Scherer at the April 6 meeting. “People run across the road and make a U-turn and try to parallel park.” The planning group had sent a letter to Caltrans, which oversees the highway. Marcelo Peinado, district division chief of traffic operations, responded, saying Caltrans investigated restricting parking and installing no parking signs near the intersections in that area. Planners said no parking signs will just create other problems. Noting that hikers come from San Diego, planner Dan Summers said no parking signs won’t stop them from hiking. “They’re going to move further down the 67, north and south, in more dangerous areas,” he said. "They’ll go all the way to the curve.” Planner Frank Lucio said if people have to park farther away, they’ll just make their own trails to reach the Mt. Woodson
trail. Members agreed the issue is beyond the scope of the planning group and requires a multi-agency effort. The City of San Diego owns the upper portion of the mountain, which is an open space preserve, and leases land at the top to communications companies for cell towers. The county has said it has property at the bottom that could be used for a parking lot but would need access across state-owned property, where there is a Cal Fire station, to reach it from the highway. County Supervisor Dianne Jacob has said the city should be responsible for developing a parking lot because it owns the open space. Planner Scotty Ensign said part of the problem is that it is not a designated trailhead and residents in that area do not want it to be. He also said Cal Fire does not want people cruising through there. He suggested prohibiting hiking to the top from SR-67, and instead only allow it from Lake Poway, which is a longer hike. “Whatever we do, we’re going to have backlash,” said Ensign. “We’ve been pounding on Caltrans to do something for years.” Planner Chris Holloway suggested getting all the SEE TRAIL, A21

Customer response unbelievable, says bakery owner BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON The lines stretched out the door of London Bakery at 632 Main St. all day Saturday as a steady stream of customers arrived to show support for the shop’s owners, a mother and daughter who are recovering from illnesses. Friends of London Bakery owners Joanne Bennett and Paige Duffy organized the 10-hour fundraiser to help with expenses resulting from the illnesses. The response was unbelievable, Bennett said early Saturday evening. Bennett is recovering from treatments for cervical cancer. Her daughter, suffering from Guillain Barre Syndrome, came home from the hospital April 6 but still needs to use a wheelchair, said Bennett. As quickly as the Downton Abbey-themed shop’s baker baked, customers purchased the scones, cream puffs, shortbreads, cupcakes, and other desserts. Most also put something extra in the donation jar, and some stayed for tea. At the end of the day, cash in the donation jar totaled $4,365 and the youcare page online was at $2,300, according to the bakery’s Facebook page. Benefit organizers had hoped for $10,000 and said donations continue to be accepted at the bakery and online at www.youcaring.com/paigeduffy. The bakery is a dream come true for this mother-daughter team, but just before the shop opened, Duffy fell ill with the disease that damages nerve bindings, causing paralysis. Bennett later received her cancer diagnosis. Ana Bracamonte has been managing the bakery and said on Saturday she had been

COMMUNITY PROFILE
Opening the book of dedicated library advocate BY KAREN BRAINARD Given Joan Gansert's summer childhood experiences, it's no surprise that she is a strong Ramona Library supporter. On April 6, the library opened its new children's patio, dedicating it to Gansert for her advocacy. "When I was a little girl I had an aunt that was not married, my mother's youngest sister," Gansert said. "We lived in the Midwest, and she was a librarian. She was a librarian in Missouri and developed the first bookmobile, as a matter of fact. So, as children we used to go visit her and stay with her." Her aunt worked in several different Midwest locations. Gansert fondly recalled going to the library with her during summertime visits and helping with such tasks as stacking and sorting books. "So we've always been kind of a library family. And the librarian was always one of the most interesting people in town, because they knew everything about everyone," she added, laughing. Gansert, a past president and current director and recording secretary of the Friends of the Ramona Library, was one of the driving forces behind establishing Ramona Library's building at 1275 Main St., which opened in 2011. Back when the library was at Montecito and Main streets, Gansert said she was a member of Friends but wasn't active. "Elyse Kuhn, who was very active and president, came to me and invited me to breakfast one day. I thought 'uh oh,'" Gansert recalled with amusement. According to Gansert, a real estate broker associate, Kuhn asked her to head up the Friends' campaign to raise money for the new library, seeing her as better connected to different people in town. When Gansert wondered what to say to potential donors, she said that Kuhn told her "Just tell them what we need and that we need the money to do it." Gansert got an appointment with Ernie Auerbach of the

"And when I left I had a signed agreement for a really big chunk of money and that really launched us," she said. County Supervisor Dianne Jacob got the county to match the funds and then donations, some as small as $1, poured in, said Gansert. "Everybody wanted it and people just stepped up the plate. It was great." At last Thursday’s children's patio ribbon cutting ceremony, San Diego County Library Deputy Director Donna Ohr said they
were dedicating the patio "to a very passionate and determined library advocate." "I'm honored and overwhelmed," Gansert told the Sentinel. The children's patio was always in the plans, but the county wasn't sure about adding it, she said. "Now that they've been in the library long enough, they realize how much they could use it for children's activities.” She calls the library and her work in Friends "kind of a labor of love." Friends of Ramona Library funds most of the library programs, often pays for art supplies, and sometimes buys extra books and periodicals, said Gansert. The Friends bookstore at the library, manned by volunteers, brings in around $1,200 a month, she said. A Friends of Ramona Library membership drive is under way, she noted, and applications are available at the bookstore. A resident since 1980, Gansert is also on the San Diego Country Estates Community Relations Committee, is a past president and current member of the San Vicente Valley Club, and a member of the Ramona Woman's Club and the Ramona Real Estate Association. Long involved in real estate, Gansert formerly worked for Country Estates Realty, which later became Prudential. About five years ago she joined Town & Country Real Estate and Home Loans as a broker associate. "I've been with it so long, nowadays I'm pretty much on referrals," she said. Recently she was named, for the fifth consecutive year, a Five Star Real Estate Agent by San Diego Magazine. She and her husband, Harold "Hal", are both active in Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church and play golf. The couple has four children, two of whom live in Rancho Bernardo, one in South Dakota, and one in Wisconsin. They also have four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, including two identical twin boys born last month.

COMMENTARY
Prepare for 2017 fire season Bumper crop of vegetation could mean big trouble BY RON SERABIA he rainy season is winding down over Southern California. The abundant wet pattern allowed for most of Southern California’s long-term drought to be eradicated except for areas along the coast near Santa Barbara. Entering April, the Sierras have had a near record amount of snow depth above 9,000 feet. The region's record-setting rains this winter mean good news — and bad news — for the upcoming fire season, according to firefighters and other experts. The good news is that our waterlogged environment is going to take longer than usual to dry out, which could push the start of the official fire season into early or mid-summer. The bad news is that all that rain is contributing to a bumper crop of wild grasses and weeds, which could fuel a spate of grass fires once all that greenery has turned brown. There's already a solid crop of grasses all over the desert floor, which means there could be grass fires in the deserts as well. Grass is the lightest, fastest burning and most easily ignited of all the vegetation in the county. The brush that feeds San Diego County's biggest and most dangerous fires probably won't be ready to burn until June or July at the earliest. That doesn't let you or the county completely off the hook where wildfires are concerned. Once the summer heat and dry winds arrive, the bumper crop of vegetation could mean big trouble. In wet years, believe it or not, we tend to have more wildfires. And not just in the mountains and foothills. Perhaps the biggest break from the rains might be the dampening effect they've had on the county's thousands of "bug-killed" trees. Pines, oaks, and other trees stricken by years of drought have been killed by bark beetles, leaving them fire-prone. Following the destructive wildfire events of 2003 and 2007, it was clear that inadequate "Defensible Space" contributed to many destroyed homes and other structures. As a result, the County of San Diego has amended an ordinance that requires all residents to keep their property free of fire hazards: including certain vegetation types, green waste, and rubbish. Residents can comply with this ordinance by creating a "Defensible Space" around their homes and by taking other preventative steps on their property. www.sandiegocounty.gov/pds/fire_ resistant.html.

COMMENTARY
Thank you, Ramona BY CHERSTEN SANDVIK AND ASHLEY DOMINGUEZ t doesn’t seem possible that it has already been a year since we were crowned Miss and Teen Miss Ramona 2016, but it’s time now to crown the 2017 Ramona royalty. We are honored and proud to have represented our hometown, Ramona. There are so many who have made our year special and supported the Miss and Teen Miss Ramona program. We’d like to thank the ROCC, the Thomsen Family, and Angel and Cheryl Yanez for use of the ROCC “Morgan’s Room” and including us in the Ramona Rodeo festivities. We enjoyed getting to know Miss Ramona Rodeo, Ashley McDonald. We loved being included in Ramona Chamber events like the Christmas Tree Lighting and San Diego Country Estates events like Visiting with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Ramona Julian Academy of Dance graciously let us pass out candy during Trick or Treat on Main and it was so much fun. Helping at Ramona Library events, visiting classrooms at the elementary schools and preschools was so fulfilling. Being able to spend time with the children of Ramona has truly been a blessing. A special thank you to Thomsen Learning Center and Busy Bee Preschool for inviting us to several children’s events over the past year. There are so many businesses we love and appreciate here in town, but a sincere thank you to those businesses that provided gifts for us when we were crowned last year: Nuevo Grill, Hallmark, Dunkin Donuts, Coldstone Creamery, and Dreamy Nails. We are also grateful for those local businesses that advertised on our behalf: Amy Ynez DoTerra Consultant, Thomsen Learning Center, American Collision of Ramona, Carrie Bryant’s Plexus Products, ROE Recycling, Lisa Crean at E2Realty, CC Cycles, Lauren at Bella Mia, and Basil’s Body Shop. But please know that we love all our hometown businesses from Uptown Boutique, Fashionably Late and Kimi’s to Packard’s, Quiznos, London Bakery, Amici’s and El Michoacan, Yogurt Barn, A Classic Tale, and Jewelry World, and so many more. We are so proud of all our hometown businesses!!
I
An extra special thank you to Cold Stone Creamery, Bonez Marketing, iTan, Dreamy Nails & Spa, and NK Fitness for providing gifts to the new queens. We know they appreciate your support. We are blessed to have Sean Hogan from Mountain View Community Church to open the ceremonies, and some local Girl Scouts from Troop 8755 to assist with the United States Pledge of Allegiance and Ramona High’s NJROTC to present the colors. Lauren Roby, from Bella Mia, you are a rock star and we love you so much for always making sure our hair looks AMAZING. Thank you to Eden Tunnell for joining Lauren on pageant day in the dressing room to help all the contestants with their hair. Rob Riingen, you and Sue always know exactly how to make us look beautiful in pictures. We could not have been happier with our photo shoots at Dos Picos and the Grasslands. You make it look so easy. We also had fun with our photo shoot at the Mt Woodson Castle with Monica Parsons. We are so blessed to have such talented photographers and beautiful locations in our little town. A special thank you to Miss Brittany Onder for not only being our chaperone, but our sounding board, and gentle leader — always just a text away. To our moms, we could not have gotten through this year without your never-ending support and helping us to give our best back to the community. Whether as a stand-in chaperone or carrying lipstick or last-minute stitching of a dress, you were always there to support us. Dads, we love you, too, for driving in parades, holding crown boxes and endless patience. And to our Families & Friends, we always appreciate your support and love. It’s so much fun to see you all when attending events! Finally, for the 2017 queens, make as many events as you can and then make one more! The year will go by faster than you can imagine, so enjoy every minute. Love and blessings to our wonderful community. Chersten Sandvik is Miss Ramona 2016, and Ashley Dominguez is Teen Miss Ramona 2016.

Pro-life through anti-pollution BY JANINE MONIOT Poison kills. Pollution is poison, and it is responsible for millions of deaths a year. Air pollution alone’s death toll is over 5 million. Pollution kills fetuses, young children, older children, adults of all ages. It is indiscriminate. And it does not often kill quickly or kindly. Cancer is a cruel death. Pollution cripples with severe asthma, cirrhosis, neurological injuries like dementia, and more. Its role and power as a death agent has long been recognized and experienced. Pollution may be indiscriminate but we, humans, do discriminate. Your zip code is a strong indicator of you, your family, and your neighbor’s longevity, and quality of life, and how likely someone is to miscarriage. I have been confused for a long time why popular pro-life speaking points do not include an anti-pollution agenda. In fact, several of the folks I know who are anti-choice about abortion are pro-policies that weaken protection for people vulnerable to concentrated pollution. I would like to understand this — so, if possible, I could help change it. Because fortunately, we have choice/power to stop some pollution, reduce other, and save lives. Ramona exists in an inversion layer. Those of us who have lived here awhile have seen the change in our summer air — and we will see more. As a valley, we could soon enough S T A T E
O F
T H E
emulate Riverside County’s air quality. Our piped-in water is even now less than pristine. But if the attacks on the EPA persist, and on California’s autonomy to address car exhaust, death will be a more frequent, early to arrive, Ramona guest. Anyone here a complete stranger to cancer loss? So far, I have seen no outcry from the Republicans about their party’s elected presidential candidate’s attack on the lives of our nation through antiquated pollution policies, and I have asked — even in this newspaper — please let him know you did not vote for him for racism, misogyny, or for pollution growth. So I found myself walking into an Indivisible meeting, because they do talk about pollution, not because they are skilled at diplomacy — because obviously they aren’t. They are humans. And mostly folks who have no experience but out of necessity they are acting. I cut the groups (Tea party and Indivisible) some communication slack and hope against hope somehow all of Ramona, all of the U.S., and all of the world become aligned on at least some key issues — like pro-life through anti-pollution. Hope is why I went to Indivisible meeting, and I found it. Let me know, when/if your group addresses pollution. I will be there. Janine Moniot is a Ramona resident. A R T

Fighting the elites on both sides
BY STEVE YANKE Response to Jeremiah F. Reid. Thank you for your service. Although I was too young to fight in Vietnam, I share your passion for fighting communism and will fight socialism/communism until hell freezes over, and then I will grab some skates and fight on the ice. (full disclosure: I plagiarized that off a T-shirt I bought at a Tea Party meeting.) Back then the war was communism versus capitalism — communism being a society in which the working class gives ownership and control of wealth and prosperity to the state; capitalism being an economic system based on PRIVATE ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods, characterized by a free competitive market and motivation by profit. Capitalism and communism are natural enemies, as free people will never take a knee to dictators (the state) that would tell them when and how to work, and then disperse the fruits of their labor to make themselves wealthy first and distributing to the masses. Our Constitution was written around life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Of the two systems, capitalism is the only one that individual liberty can thrive in. In fact, capitalism is the only
economic system where people can move up the social ladder, without paying off the elites. Today, I see big government as just another form of communism. The more taxes we pay the more enslaved to the government we are. Forgive me for saying this, but the Democrat party is the party of big government, and they are the enemy within. On the other foot, crony capitalism is the collusion of big business (means of production) and the government officials to benefit big government officials and big business. This in my mind is just another form of communism; they, too, are the enemy within. Elite Republicans push crony capitalism (communism) and Elite Democrats push big government (communism) policies like cigarette, plastic bag taxes, bullet trains, 0bamacare and more, which again, is communism. It seems I am fighting the elites on both sides. Fighting communism is very confusing indeed. It is impossible for me to tell the difference between Elite Republican Communists, and Elite Big Government Communists. Just because Trump says he respects a communist leader, does that mean he is following communism? I think not. Is there any doubt that Trump is a
capitalist? I think not. In Trump’s inaugural speech, he said that he was going to take our government away from the elites who are in control and give it back to the people. To date, I have not seen any action to the contrary. Until some of this fake news is actually proven, I am giving Trump the benefit of doubt, that he is NOT an Elite Politician, and not pushing communism on the American people. I will fight communism until the day I die, and hope you do, too. Regards, and again, thank you for your service. On a personal note, I do not believe the progressive revisionists hate the version of history being pumped into our society today. I believe America has gone and still goes to war for noble reasons, like you did. You went to Vietnam to fight communism, to free an oppressed society, to save peoples’ lives and protect their liberties. And I don’t believe the politicians sent you to war to capture oil, or for imperialistic reasons. To believe that only divides this great nation and serves to weaken our resolve of liberty, freedom, and justice for all. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for fighting communism. May God bless you, and may God bless America. Steve Yanke is a Ramona resident.

OUR READERS WRITE Why post speed limit if it’s not enforced? I have lived in the Estates since 1978, and the last 15 years people think San Vicente is a speedway, no highway patrols as in the past. Ninety-nine percent of the drivers are going 55 to 65 miles per hour, there are a few of us that obey the speed limit. I think of the accidents that were fatal and the wording “I was not speeding.” That’s a laugh. If they were going the speed limit they would be able to stop in time. Why post a speed limit if it’s not going to be enforced. Our lives have transformed in high gear and that is a shame. Stop and enjoy life, before it is too late for you. Dorothy Hart Ramona
Indivisible members have common goal Rebuttal to Tom McKelvey: You use some clever language, which as a teacher I frankly like, but let’s get to the content of your article. Indivisible Ramona, like the tea party, is open to having anyone join. It only makes sense that those who are interested are unhappy or even angry with the Trump agenda. All groups have a focus and that’s ours. What’s the problem with that? Of course we are more inclined to attract Democrats, liberals, and progressives, but we also attract independents (like me),
moderates, and yes — we even have Republican members. Polling shows that most Americans are embarrassed by Trump. He’s lost a lot of support, even from Republicans. The fact that Trump is falling in the polls (35% approval), we can expect Indivisible groups will continue to grow and become more diverse. So, yes, anyone can come and learn how to fight for issues that matter to them. That is what makes us non-partisan. Although I voted for Obama, I voted for Bush — twice! Frankly, I don’t care to label myself. I am working hard and happily, for free, for something that I believe in. We all are. That is democracy. Susan Conrad Ramona
Hunter should resign How do Duncan Hunter's constituents spell relief? R-E-S-I-G-N. Resignation is the best and only deal that Duncan Hunter will be able to get following the expected release of a criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice into his fraudulent use of campaign funds for personal use. Hunter charged tens of thousands of dollars for resort vacations to Hawaii and Italy, private school tuition for his kids, including dance lessons and recitals, video games, nail salons, jewelry stores and even $600 for "rabbit transport fees" to haul a pet rabbit across country. Sometimes superstitious people carry a rabbit's foot for good luck; he carries the whole rabbit.

Hunter is destined to become the most despicable elected congress person in San Diego history after the infamous Republican representative, Randy 'Duke' Cunningham of Escondido. Cunningham was released in 2013 after seven years of an eight-year prison stint for soliciting bribes from defense contractors. The non-partisan Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, D.C., a watchdog group headed by Noah Bookbinder, said, "Hunter has shown a blatant disregard for the rules." He summarized Hunter's case as "The most egregious congressional spending scandal since Aaron Schock," the former Illinois Republican congressman who was indicted by the Department of Justice last November on 24 criminal counts. Hunter, a five-term congressman and ex-Marine who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, is an unapologetic warmonger. He told the San Diego Union-Tribune the week of Trump's election he wanted to restore a "warrior culture and warrior mentality to the federal government." Supposedly, Hunter has paid back approximately $62,000 in campaign contributions. No one at Hunter's offices in Washington, D.C., El Cajon, or Temecula would comment on anything to do with the criminal probe into his misuse of campaign contributions, and referred questions to his campaign office. More than a dozen calls made over a two-week period were never returned. Hunter's highfalutin team of lawyers, Elliot
Burke and Gregory Vega, said, "Hunter intends to cooperate fully with the government on this investigation," adding, "That to the extent any mistakes were made, they were strictly inadvertent and not intentional." Hunter also faces censure from his own House colleagues. Mr. Hunter's portrait will wind up hanging next to his colleagues, Cunningham and Schock, "Tricky Dick Nixon" and most recently, Anthony Weiner on the yet-to-be-built "Great Wall of Shame" in Washington.

With springtime comes more wildlife BY KAREN BRAINARD Springtime is the time of year that many wildlife species are having babies. At The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in Ramona, Director Ali Crumpacker said their population swells about 400 percent in the spring. Often residents will find baby animals or birds and wonder if they have been abandoned by their parents. Crumpacker said they receive calls every day, and in some cases the babies are brought to the wildlife center. She offered tips on how to determine whether baby wildlife has been abandoned. Anyone who has found baby animals they believe are abandoned after following the steps below may call the wildlife center at 760-789-2324. Rabbits Typically a mother rabbit makes a grass nest, possibly in the middle of the lawn, said Crumpacker. Sometimes the nest of babies is discovered by a pet or when mowing. To check if the mom is coming back, Crumpacker suggested pouring a ring around the nest with all-purpose flour, and then checking it the next day. “And if mom has come back you’ll have adult rabbit footprints that have walked through the flour,” she said. But, if 24 hours later there are no footprints, Crumpacker said mom is not coming back, and perhaps something happened to her. If the grass is cut and the babies are no longer protected, that
could be enough for the mom not to return, she said. Squirrels A family recently brought in seven baby ground squirrels after doing the right thing — checking on them from a distance for 24 hours to confirm the parents did not return, said Crumpacker. “Don’t just assume that the babies are orphaned or in need of help because particularly with your prey species the parents don’t stick around and defend the nest. You know, they’re out getting food, and if you are a giant predator, you’re standing right over their babies, they’re not going to come back. Just you looking at their babies will scare them off.” Baby squirrels are usually underground but could be under steps or a small ditch under a wood pile. Squirrels tend to live in groups so a couple of moms may share duties, she noted. Birds While rabbit and squirrel dads do not stick around, it is the opposite with birds. Both parents take care of their babies and if one parent disappears the other will make up for it, said Crumpacker. As to how to determine if a baby bird is abandoned, Crumpacker said: “Ideally, you find a bird on the ground you look up, you find its nest and you put it back in the nest and you hope it stays there. If the very next day the same baby bird’s on the ground, something has gone wrong with construction of the nest and there’s no point in putting it back more than

If a person can’t find a nest and the bird doesn’t look like it’s ready to fly on its own, it probably needs to come in, she said, with the exception of baby crows. Crumpacker said crows have evolved to be on the ground for a couple of days after they’re too big to fit in the nest and their parents dive bomb them to show them how to fly. People will think the parents are trying to attack their young, she said, and if humans get too close the crows will try to attack to get them away from their babies.
Opossums Mother opossums never come back for their babies if they feel threatened, she said. The mother first keeps the babies in her pouch and when they get bigger they ride on her back. Giving a scenario of a mother opossum walking with 10 babies on her back and a big scary dog comes out, Crumpacker said “she needs to get away with as many babies as she can so she’ll actually flick one of her babies in the direction of the dog and run off with the rest. “So if you find a baby possum that’s the size of a lemon or smaller that’s an orphan. It definitely needs to come in,” she said. If the SEE WILDLIFE, A10

hole as “the dog ate my homework.” In other words, “personal responsibility” is what seems to be missing. It is clear to me that Indivisible is not even remotely interested in uniting the American people. Unlike the Tea Party movement, Indivisible is a “top down” organization where an elite group at the top has formed and funded an agenda which they attempt to thrust upon the rest of the population. The Tea Party movement continues to be the exact opposite. You, the American citizen, owe it to yourself and this great country to listen to both sides of any issue, form your own opinion, and then act according to your beliefs. Tom McKelvey Ramona
cannot believe they lost the election and are simply looking for retaliation, without regard for the American people. With respect to the Hunter town hall, I personally believe in listening to ALL views on a subject and then forming my own opinion (and I don’t feel I need a “Guide” to help do it). Now this is pretty difficult to accomplish when people around me are shouting down those delivering their views. Excusing rude and rowdy behavior because someone else has done the same is patently ridiculous. It has never been acceptable to explain your own bad behavior on the fact that others have behaved badly in the past. That rationale belongs in the same pigeon

So…about that breakfast
L
ast December I offered free breakfast with me to one lucky reader. To earn this “honor,” you had to spend a week paying attention to the world around you. The assignment: Try to understand messages being sent, audiences being addressed, and why marketing efforts were (or weren’t) successful. My original plan was to award one breakfast. However, since only two people responded I decided to treat them both. Over the next few weeks I sent emails and made phone calls — to no avail. My outreach efforts to schedule dates were fruitless. Three months later we haven’t eaten yet. And I’m getting hungry! Simultaneously, I’ve been regularly accosted by readers prodding me to close the loop on this tale.
Then I was reminded of Margaret Thatcher’s observation: “You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” So I’m making a last-ditch effort to reach out to Elly and Nick, asking you to contact me at rob@marketbuilding.com so this can happen. Anyone trying to generate sales knows follow-up’s important. Your prospective customer’s amazingly busy and probably forgot about you 10 seconds after seeing your email. Why so busy? Work, life, and political stresses. Plus, every business and nonprofit in sight tugs at our sleeves for attention. So though it seems rude when someone ignores you, their reality may simply be a lack of bandwidth for returning (or even acknowledging) emails and
phone calls. Yet persistence can pay off. I’ve seen studies showing sales prospects need to be contacted 7 to 10 times before a deal is struck. I found proof in my own backyard. My monthly newsletter and weekly blog constantly keep me in front of several thousand customers, contacts, and friends. Should they need marketing services (even years after we’ve met) these folks typically think of me first. Despite such examples, most sales people stop their prospecting efforts after three customer “touches.” Then they can’t understand why they’re not closing more deals. Could it be their lack of perseverance? It takes a tough skin to be a successful salesperson. The good ones recognize that stunning silence from customers and prospects shouldn’t be taken personally. True, even additional outreach and thicker skin won’t guarantee success. But it will improve your odds of not being forgotten. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Breakfast’s waiting for Nick and Elly at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Kiwanis to send two students to two-day leadership seminar
FROM WILDLIFE, A8
KAREN BRAINARD
Kiwanis Club of Ramona, which for years has provided Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) scholarships to high school students annually, recently presented Ramona High School sophomores Isabella Ettore and Mitchell Sutter scholarships totaling $545 to attend the two-day HOBY seminar in Orange County in June. Both students were guests at a Kiwanis meeting in Ramona Town Hall on April 1. To attend a HOBY seminar, students must be chosen by their high school out of all students in the school's sophomore class. At
the seminars, students participate in programs designed to enhance their leadership and teamwork skills. They also meet and converse with leaders in their community in fields such as volunteerism, media, education, philanthropy, and politics. Founded in 1958 by the late actor Hugh O’Brian, the first leadership seminar was held in Los Angeles. Seminars have been held annually since then, and the HOBY program has spread to over 70 locations in all 50 states and in 19 other countries.

Wildlife Center The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center specializes in predatory species.
Crumpacker said rabbits, squirrels and other prey species are transferred to Project Wildlife in San Diego. The center is in need of volunteers for gardening and construction, and accepts donations of newspapers and homegrown vegetables or fruits with no pesticides.

baby is the size of an orange or tennis ball, it is probably big enough to be on its own, she added. Coyotes “There’s going to be a lot of activity this year because of the rain,” said Crumpacker. “All this rain brings in a lot of insects, insects pollinate plants so there’s more food for insectivores, more food for your plant eaters and that means more prey reproduce, the more prey there are the more predators reproduce.” Coyotes have been denning, she said, and pupping should start mid-April. Skunks The center had a mother skunk with six babies. Crumpacker cautioned that if you see baby skunks, check for the adult because she could come running at you. Ducks If an adult duck is swimming around in a pool with baby ducks and you try to shoo them out, Crumpacker said, “keep in mind that babies can’t fly.” If mom flies off, the instinct could be to grab the pool net and scoop the babies out, but mom could be flying overhead, “watching you ‘eat’

Dedication ceremony for historical firehouse mural BY JOYCE STRAND A dedication ceremony for the Firehouse Mural will be held on Saturday, April 22, at 10 a.m. at the site of Ramona’s original firehouse at 222 Ninth St. The public is invited. In addition to refreshments, attendees will receive a picture of the mural, autographed by the artist. This is the 13th Ramona mural sponsored by the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporation. The Firehouse Mural is dedicated to the fire brigades who have served the community since the origin of the first firehouse in the early 1950s. The artist, Rik Erickson, based his art work on Engine No. 2, a 750 GPM Mack, triple-combination pumper purchased about the same time the firehouse was built. The engine was restored by the Poway Firemen’s Association in the 1970s and in the 1990s purchased by Ramona resident Darrell Beck, author of “On Memory's Back Trail,” who states in his book that he had “on many occasions in the past used the engine to knock down grass fires.” Erickson is a licensed, professional mural artist and painter who has been painting custom, high-quality wall murals for clients for more than 25 years. He is the artist who painted the Verlaque Pioneer Store mural at 629 Main St., at Reds, Whites & Brews next to the Guy B. Woodward Museum. His murals can be seen in restaurants, businesses, hospitals, Marine and Coast Guard walls, as well as many private residences throughout San Diego. As with all Ramona mural projects, viewers will be challenged to discover the “heart”

The main goal of the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Murals Project is to create a reason for passing tourists to STOP to enjoy Ramona’s beauty, charm, character, and heritage, and to rest a spell. After looking to the examples set by other mural towns, a group of Ramona business people came together to launch an
aggressive outdoor visual arts program, starting with murals. The acronym H.E.A.R.T. not only indicates Ramona as the geographic center of San Diego County, but reflects the character of the community. “H” for Historic and Hiking, “E” for Equine, “A” for Arts, Antiques and Agriculture, “R” for scenic rural vistas and drives, and “T” for Tasting of fine wines.

Morgann Wilson breaks school record in 100 hurdles Ramona High School senior Morgann Wilson set the school record in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 16.07 when the Bulldogs traveled to Mt. Carmel High School to face the Sundevils last Wednesday. The boys team lost, 80-55, and the girls lost, 76-60, but many members of the boys and girls team set season bests. The previous school record in the 100 hurdles was set last year by Emily Sojourner with a time of 16.29. Wilson got a great start but was not clean over the last three hurdles, hitting one, but she still set the school record, said head coach Sherri Edwards, a former hurdler. The time was the ninth best in San Diego County this season. “I’ve been working on my start with coach Mac (sprint coach Majaliwa McKeaver), getting to the first hurdle quicker,” said Wilson. “I had two goals this year — to set the school record and break 16-0.” She would like to set one more record before the end of the season — the school record for the 300 hurdles set in 1995 by her mother, Jayme Ray, also coached by Edwards. Other highlights by the girls team included Trinity Beatty and Rayna Valade placing first and second in the 200 with their best times of the season. Beatty, a freshman, ran 27.42, and Valade, a junior, ran 27.89. Valade also won the 400 dash with a season best time for her of 1:02.02. Wilson’s 100 hurdle record time was also good for first place, and Sophomore Mollie Pilley placed second with a time of 17.50. In the 300 hurdles sophomore
Madison Cirillo placed first with a time of 50.19, and Wilson was second right behind her in 50.33. The girls 4x100 relay team of Tuesday Christopher, Amber Cogbill, Wilson, and Beatty won with a season best time of 51.54. Pilley won the long jump with a jump of 14-4.25, and Giana Amendola-Rebick placed first in the triple jump with a jump of 32-5.5. The boys competed against a tough Mt. Carmel team but had many standout performances. Senior Eder Landgrave ran a season best 53.71 in the 400 race placing second. The 4x100 relay team of Caleb Berman, Justice Mendoza, Christian Gabriel, and Januar Ramadhan ran their best time of the season of 43.98, but they were not able to defeat the Mt. Carmel team, which was anchored by Quoi Ellis, who is ranked number one in San Diego County in the 100 and 200. Mt. Carmel is ranked seventh in the county in 4x100 relay and Ramona eighth. Hunter Gurrola set a new personal best, winning the high jump with a height of 5-10. Sophomore Jack Clough continues to recover from illness but ran his best race since his return, placing second in the 1600 with a time of 4:40.91. Ian Cirillo won the 300 hurdles with a time of 41.39, and Landon Watkins won the shot put with a throw of 41-5. The boys and girls teams will spend the Easter break participating in morning practices preparing for their next invitational at Valley Center on Saturday, April 15.

RHS wallops Valley Bulldogs sweep San Pasqual Center in league opener to start league play Diamond throws no-hitter BY JOE NAIMAN When Valley League baseball play began last week, Ramona defeated San Pasqual in all three games including the April 7 match in which sophomore Derek Diamond pitched a no-hitter. The victories gave Ramona, whose league contests next week will be against Valley Center, a 7-6 overall record along with
the 3-0 league mark while San Pasqual's overall record fell to 4-9. "They came out here with about the same record, and we swept the series," said Ramona coach Dean Welch. Welch wasn't too concerned about Ramona's 4-6 record entering league play. "I think that we played a really tough pre-season, so I think that prepared us well for league," he said. "We've been making some strides and I'm really happy with where we're at right now."
The April 3 game at Ramona ended as a 6-1 Bulldog victory. Ramona junior Creede Jeffers pitched a complete game and allowed only two hits, three walks, and one earned run while striking out 10 Golden Eagles batters. "He was dominant all game," Welch said. When Ramona was batting, Jeffers had two singles in three at-bats while driving in one run, and E.J. Edelman had identical batting statistics. SEE BULLDOGS, A21
BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's softball team began Valley League competition with a 13-0 victory at home against Valley Center. "Very nice to start off with a win like that," said Ramona coach Kristina Wright. The result against Valley Center on April 3, along with a 10-1 non-league victory April 6 at home against Vista, gave Ramona a season record of 16-3. The Bulldogs' activity for the week also included teaming
with the baseball program for a fundraising golf tournament April 9 at the San Vicente course. Ramona and Valley Center had played each other April 1 in the final game of the Jaguar Classic tournament. If a team is ahead by at least 10 runs after five innings, the mercy rule is invoked. That was the case in the 10-0 Jaguar Classic final, which Ramona won. Because Ramona was the home team April 3, the game only lasted 4-1/2 innings.
"They went out there and took care of business, so it was good to see that," Wright said. The 13 runs April 3 were scored by nine Ramona players. Eight Bulldogs had at least one hit, and eight members of the team drove in at least one run. The Bulldogs scored four times in the first, once in the second, and eight times in the fourth. Alexa Neil led the Bulldogs offense with a single, double, and solo SEE SOFTBALL, A21

Prep Boys Golf
Bulldogs score key win over Fallbrook Undefeated in league
KAREN BRAINARD
Justin Graf, who shot a hole in one on March 20, follows through on his drive in a recent Bulldog golf match.
BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona High School’s boys golf team scored a key victory over last year’s league champion, Fallbrook, and is undefeated in league competition. In the April 4 match at Pala Mesa Resort, Fallbrook’s home course, the Bulldogs beat the Warriors 218-225. Justin Graf earned medalist honors with a one-over-par 37. He was followed by Cameron Marshall with a 41; David Hall, 44; Serop Matoian, 47; and Cade Erautt, 49. "This was an important win for us,” said coach Michael Gainey. “Fallbrook has had an edge on us over the past couple of seasons and for us to have any chance at winning the league title this year we must win both matches against them." Ramona, which is 5-0 in league, will again face Fallbrook at home at San Vicente Golf Course in its last league match of the season on April 27. On April 6, the Bulldog golfers scored 60 strokes less than San Pasqual, capturing a 202-262 victory. Matoian was the medalist, shooting a one-under-par 35. Graf was just three over par with a 39. Marshall and Hall each shot 42, and Easton Powell posted a 44. Ramona won its March 30 league match against Escondido by forfeit as the Cougars only had three varsity players. The Bulldogs brought in their lowest team score of the year – 199 – with three players shooting in the 30s: Marshall and Graf, each with 37, and Matoian with 38. Adding to the team score were Hall, 43, and Kyle Pack right behind with 44. The Bulldog golfers will travel to Pauma Valley on April 18 to play Valley Center.
Prep Girls Lacrosse
Game against Grossmont goes into double overtime League play starts Tuesday BY JOE NAIMAN The Bulldogs’ lacrosse game against Grossmont went into double overtime before Ramona lost, 10-9, on Friday. "The girls had a great game," said Ramona assistant coach Al Cavell. It was the team’s third loss last week against non-league opponents. The Bulldogs return from Spring Break with Valley League home games April 18 against Mission Hills and April 21 against Valley Center. Mt. Carmel won the April 4 varsity game against Ramona, 15-2, and the Sundevils' junior varsity also prevailed, 13-0. "Both teams had a pretty bad loss," Cavell said. Ramona hosted Helix on April 6. The Bulldogs won the 6-3 junior varsity game, but the Highlanders were on the winning end of the 13-3 varsity contest. "Pretty much none of our girls had a very good game. The whole team was off," said Cavell. "They couldn't get into a rhythm at all." Grossmont won the April 7 junior varsity game, 5-3. Ramona led the varsity match at halftime, but the Foothillers overcame that 4-2 deficit and the score was 9-9 at the end of regulation. Ramona's defense then staved off Grossmont until the second overtime. "You can't say they didn't go down fighting," Cavell said.
Small squad hindering Bulldogs BY JOE NAIMAN A minimum of 12 swimmers is needed for a high school swim team to fill all of its allocated lanes, and the lack of numbers has contributed to 0-3 Valley League records for both Ramona High School's boys and girls this season. Ramona's boys had 11 swimmers in the 133-52 home loss to Fallbrook on April 6. The Ramona girls had eight swimmers in the Warriors' 118-66 victory that day. "Their sheer size was one of the things that kept it from being a close meet," said Ramona coach Jolyn Yanez. Last year Fallbrook's boys won the league championship and Ramona placed second. Classical Academy was the first-place girls team with Fallbrook taking second and Ramona finishing third. Escondido and San Pasqual have joined the Valley League this year, and both teams have already defeated Ramona. "I knew it was going to be a bit more challenging than last year," Yanez said. "I think it sets us up good for being ready to compete at CIF." Each swimmer is limited to two individual
Prep Coed Swim events and two relay events at each meet. Teams are allowed up to three swimmers in each individual event and up to two quartets in each relay race. A diver may also compete in swim events, although the diving counts as one of the individual events. A school may enter a third relay team in a race, but that team is not scored. In the case of the boys 200-yard medley relay, the three Fallbrook quartets all finished ahead of the fastest Ramona contingent. Fallbrook's boys also took the top three positions in the diving, 200 individual medley, and 500 freestyle events. "I had a couple of guys who are out sick and a couple of guys who started their vacation early," said Yanez. The Bulldogs will return from Spring Break with an April 21 meet against Valley Center at the Adams Community Park pool in Valley Center. "I feel pretty confident that we're going to come away with a good result out of Valley Center," Yanez said.

Maddie Schwegler dives in for the 200 medley relay during Ramona's April 6 home meet against Fallbrook. League dual meet competition concludes April 28 when Ramona hosts Classical Academy. The league meet will take place at Fallbrook High School the first week of May. Two of Ramona's boys took first-place finishes against their Fallbrook counterparts. Trevor White had two victories with times of 1:55.45 in the 200 freestyle race and 51.54 seconds in the 100 freestyle. Jacob Pradels won the 100 breaststroke in 1:07.26.
One of Ramona's three girls wins was in the diving, as Shannon Reiling totaled 175.90 points on six dives. The next-highest Ramona score was the 156.10-point total that gave Jessica Gallegos fourth place and also improved her consideration mark for CIF meet qualifying purposes. Maddie Schwegler won the 200 freestyle in 2:11.47, and Samantha Goldstein completed the 100 breaststroke in 1:21.38 for first place.

School district works on 2017 plan, goals Board approves principal’s resignation BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON The 2017 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and district goals were among topics of a special meeting of Ramona Unified School District trustees. Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., stressed after the nearly two-and-a-half-hour meeting that both are works in progress and additional workshops and meetings will be held before trustees give final approval in June. Also at the special meeting, trustees without comment approved the resignation of Rowena Mak, Ed.D., Ramona High School principal since the beginning of the school year. She will be on administrative leave until June 30, and the district will continue to pay her salary and benefits, school board president Rodger Dohm said after the meeting. The district gave no public reason for Mak’s abrupt departure from the school in mid-March. Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Tony Newman returned to Ramona High as interim principal, a post he previously held for seven years. Among other actions at the meeting, trustees hired five secondary teachers: Kelly Muren to teach English at Montecito High School, Claudio Salas to teach math at Ramona High, Samantha Longoria to teach social science at Ramona High, Richard Downer to teach social science at Olive Peirce Middle School, and Candace Jarman to teach special education at the middle school. All will begin on Aug. 17, the first day of the 2017-18 year for district employees. The new school year for students will begin on Aug. 21. Two of the five new hires — Salas and Jarman — will receive a $7,500 signing bonus trustees approved in December to recruit teachers in high-demand areas. The bonus will be paid in three installments: the first when they sign their contract with the district, the second when they attain Probationary II status, and the third when they receive tenure. A complete list of employee-related approvals at the March 28 meeting is online at ramonausd.net, Board/Supt., Meeting Dates, Agendas & Minutes. Assistant Superintendent of Education Services Theresa Grace reviewed results of the LCAP survey before discussing updating the existing LCAP and possible district goals for the coming year. Nearly 3,000 people participated in the online LCAP survey: 2,412 students, 275 parents, 245 district employees, and 51 community members. This compares with the survey three years ago, when the district received 660 survey responses, “so we are really excited that we had so much participation this year,” said Grace. Included in Grace’s report are key ideas the district gleaned from the survey: • Facilities repairs and updates are necessary. • Improvements are needed in school cleanliness. • Bathrooms need to be updated and
sanitized. • Counseling services are needed at all schools. • Increase art and music/band offerings at all levels. • Elementary students would like increased PE and more PE and playground equipment. • Increase technology for all students. • Highly qualified teachers are needed. • Improvements are needed in school climate and culture at Ramona High School. Starting in the 2014-15 school year, the state required districts to have a three-year LCAP they update annually and make major adjustments to, as needed, every three years. LCAPs must address state and local priorities and describe goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support student achievement. “We’ve learned a lot in three years,” Grace said. “We know that our plan is long, it’s cumbersome. We need to make it shorter.” In her review of existing LCAP goals and district actions and services to meet the goals, Grace said the district met some goals but not others. For example, the district does a good job of providing academic support in its schools, but “primarily at the elementary level we don’t have systems in place to provide social and behavioral support for kids in the form of counseling or friends’ groups or those kinds of things,” she said. The district increased the amount of community-based counseling it offers, “but we have seen an uptick in behavior in kids and social/emotional needs, and that was really loudly addressed in the LCAP survey,” said Grace. The need may not be to have a counselor at each elementary school, but “some kind of a shared counseling support” from someone with a Pupil Personnel Services credential who could lead different types of small group counseling, such as children of divorced parents and a friends’ group for children having a difficult time interacting with peers, she said. Course offerings, parent and community engagement, safety plans, college and career readiness, technology, and professional development were among other LCAP discussion topics. Fiscal solvency, high-quality learning environment, and providing safe and healthy facilities topped trustees’ initial review of district goals. “We all understand that we’re here to provide a solid education for our kids, but if we’re not taking our finances seriously and maintaining solvency of the district … (not just) for today and tomorrow, but six years from now, 15 years from now, we’re not doing our job here,” said trustee Daryn Drum. “Everything we do, in the back of our mind has to have dollar signs attached to it, and how this is going to affect the long-term solvency.” “We need to look at this through the lens of what is reasonable given the revenues we have and the constraints on those revenues,” said Staffieri. “What we’re trying to do is create a culture of fiscal responsibility, because I don’t think that’s always been the case,” said board president

www.ramonasentinel.com FROM TRAIL, A1 stakeholders together to discuss the problem and try to find a solution. Others on the group agreed. Torry Brean, planning group vice chair, said they should send the letter to City of San Diego, Caltrans, County of San Diego, Cal Fire, and include Ramona Trails Association. “Because we all know someone’s going to die there,” Brean said. “And when it happens, all these bureaus are going to say, ‘Boy, whoa, I sure wish we could have done something.’ I think we need to spell it out and say, ‘We’re telling you someone’s going to die there.’” Then, he said, maybe they will stop passing the buck. The planning group unanimously approved sending a letter to the above agencies and proposing a joint meeting to explore options and “take joint ownership in creating a solution.” Scherer also suggested forming an ad hoc committee to address the parking problem and a solution. Mansolf, Ensign, Holloway, and Casey Lynch volunteered to serve on the committee; Lynch will chair it. Planner David Ross was the only member absent from the meeting. In other business, the RCPG approved: • Agricultural clearing of vacant land for planting a vineyard at 7270 Rancho Suenos. The property has a D8 designator and 2.95 acres of the 4.3-acre property will be cleared. • A minor use permit for a cottage industry woodworking cabinet shop at 3003 Rancho Maria Lane.

Junior Pheasant Hunt attracts 60 youngsters BY STEVE BALBO The 15th annual San Diego Junior Pheasant hunt held east of Ramona attracted 60 youngsters ranging in age from 10 to 17. The free event provides an opportunity to teach youth safe, responsible, and ethical hunting techniques. Throughout the all-day event, the attendees and their parents attend seminars explaining different aspects of wildlife conservation. This event is made possible through the support of the SCI (Safari Club International) Foundation, SCI San Diego Chapter, NRA Foundation and the San Diego County Fish and Wildlife Advisory Commission’s donations. It was planned and staffed completely by volunteers from the organizations mentioned below and many others too numerous to mention by name. The hunters were split into six groups of 10. Each group was guided throughout the day by a U.S. Marine or U.S. Navy volunteer from Camp Pendleton as they moved from station to station. The National Wild Turkey Federation put on a seminar on the daily life of a turkey, identification of the birds, as well as hunting strategy

Youngsters get ready for a great day at the San Diego Junior Pheasant Hunt. and safety. U.S. Federal Conservation Officers taught about conservation practices throughout the county and state. Wardens from California Fish and Wildlife were on hand to teach the youth about the importance of following the game laws and their impact on wildlife conservation. A California Rifle and Pistol Association representative explained the importance of protecting hunting traditions and guarding the tradition to continue them. Reservation Retrievers demonstrated
how to train the hunting dogs. The hunters then participated in archery before moving on to the trap range. At the trap range the young hunters familiarized themselves with the shotguns that were provided for the hunt by the NRA Foundation and had a chance for some last minute practice before moving on to the hunting field. Each group received detailed instruction from members of the San Diego Sporting Dog Club and The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHD) on how to conduct themselves during the hunt.
They were shown the proper safety techniques when hunting with dogs. The youth were taken out to the fields, two hunters at a time with plenty of separation between them. As the dogs worked the field, the hunters experienced the excitement of the chase. When the dog found the bird and went on point, the hunters were guided into a safe shooting position before the bird was flushed. Each hunter was given two birds to shoot at. All of the hunters harvested at least one pheasant. From here, the proud hunters headed to the cleaning station. They were given direction on field dressing their harvest and proceeded to clean the birds themselves with a little help from the volunteers manning the station. The birds were bagged and labeled in accordance with DFW regulations. To finish the day, the hunters and their parents were treated to a lunch provided by Ramona High School’s FFA club. Event organizers and participants sent a big "thank you" to Ammo Unlimited for cleaning all their shotguns, and to Ramona Disposal and Diamond Environment Service.

Students from Ramona High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps tour the FAA’s massive Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility adjacent to the Marine Corps Air Base at Miramar on March 30. The special behind-the-scenes tour of one of the busiest air traffic control facilities in the world resulted in a great deal of learning about careers within the aerospace field, noted U.S. Navy Cmdr. Bradley Davis, senior naval science instructor at Ramona High. Pictured right is freshman Eden Anderson. Left is Paige Hugelmaier, also a freshman.
FROM BULLDOGS, A12 Diamond opened Ramona's scoring with a three-run home run in the third inning. Adam Ramirez had two singles in two at-bats and was hit by a pitch while scoring twice. Adrian Collazo reached once on a double and twice on errors in his three trips to the plate and scored two runs. Ramona won an 8-1 contest April 5 at San Pasqual. Bryce Roe allowed two hits and no walks in his six innings on the mound while striking out five batters, and the run against him was unearned. Roe's statistics at the plate included a triple and two singles in four at-bats, two stolen bases, two runs scored, and one run driven in. Noah Hirsh and Garrett Lee each had two hits in three at-bats with one run scored and three runs batted in. Diamond struck out nine opponents in
his no-hitter while walking one batter and hitting one in the 6-0 Ramona win. He threw 83 pitches. "For a sophomore to get a no-hitter, that's pretty impressive," Welch said. What made Diamond's no-hitter even more impressive is that he was ill with food poisoning the night before and had little sleep. "He battled through it," Welch said. Roe had a triple, two runs scored, two runs batted in, and a stolen base. "Bryce Roe swung a hot bat," Welch said. Jeffers also scored twice while Lee also drove in two runs. Ramirez had two singles and scored once. "We've had timely hitting," Welch said. "In our losses we struggled to get that timely hit and we seemed to get that timely hit this week up and down the lineup."
FROM SOFTBALL, A12 home run in four at-bats along with three runs scored and a stolen base. Hanah Bowen pitched for Ramona and allowed two hits, a walk, and a hit batter while striking out four. Ramona's Jaguar Classic games also included a 6-1 victory over Vista on March 30, so the April 6 game was also a rematch. "I told them to make sure to not take anyone lightly," Wright said. Jonna Rodriguez had three hits and a walk in her four plate appearances, while scoring twice and driving in one run. Neil had two doubles and two walks in five plate appearances with two runs scored and two runs batted in. "We had a great game," Wright said. Bowen allowed two hits and struck out five.
"Hanah did a great job of shutting people down," Wright said. Wright also cited the Bulldogs' base-running prowess. "The Vista game, we did a very good job of taking advantage of their defense making errors," she said. The Bulldogs will host Carlsbad in an April 17 non-league contest. The second annual baseball-softball fundraising golf tournament attracted more than 100 golfers. "We're going to end up making a couple of thousand for each team, so it was a very good tournament," Wright said. Country Wine and Spirits sponsored the tournament. The Ramona players were present at the course holes and also drove golf carts. "It's a good way to get the community involved with the team," Wright said.
