Anne Staffieri, assistant superintendent of human resources for Ramona Unified School District from 2011-13, is the community’s new superintendent of schools. School board president Kim Lasley announced

the appointment when trustees returned to open session after a one-and-a-half-hour closed session Friday evening. Staffieri, 47, has been assistant superintendent of human resources for Escondido Union High School District for the past three years. Her first day as Ramona Unified superintendent will be July 1.

Residents push for parking lot at Mt. Woodson trail BY KAREN BRAINARD s many residents continue to voice the need for a parking lot to accommodate the throngs of hikers at the Mt. Woodson trail off state Route 67, the county says it is working to resolve the problem. Every day cars are lined up on Highway 67, especially on weekends, and hikers who park on the shoulder of the northbound lanes must run across the busy thoroughfare, sometimes with dogs in tow. “It’s just a matter of time before something happens,” resident Robin Maxson told county Supervisor Dianne Jacob at Jacob’s recent Ramona Revitalization Steering Committee meeting. Maxson said drivers make U-turns, sometimes stop on the highway to back into a parking spot, and she

doesn’t like traveling in the slow lane for fear someone parked on the shoulder will suddenly open his car door. Jacob said she is aware of the problem and the county is ready to do something, but must work with various agencies. While the county owns land around the mountain, the state Department of Forestry owns the property where the Cal Fire station is near the trailhead, and the City of San Diego owns the upper portion of Mt. Woodson, calling it the Mt. Woodson Open Space Park, and leases land on top for communications towers. Many believe a parking lot should be the city’s responsibility. Jacob said the county has identified a spot for a parking lot but to reach it from Route 67 they would SEE TRAIL, A6

BY JESSICA KING Moving Cal Fire’s annual fire department open house from October to May didn’t affect its popularity. Hundreds flocked to Ramona Fire Station No. 80 on San Vicente Road Saturday to watch demonstrations, meet the firefighters, play games and crawl on fire apparatus — from engines to a water-dropping helicopter. The free event, which ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., used to be held in October in conjunction with Fire Prevention Week. This year’s event coincided with Wildfire Awareness Week instead. The reason for the change was multi-tiered, said Cal Fire Capt. Allen SEE FIRES, A14

board had the luxury of reviewing applications from many fine candidates across the country, but ultimately centered on a person of excellent character, broad experience, and someone who has had strong familiarity with the district staff and their history.” A graduate of Torrey Pines High School, Staffieri has degrees from Cal State University San Marcos and Brigham Young University, where she recently earned her doctorate degree in educational leadership. Her master’s from Cal State San Marcos is in curriculum development, and her bachelor’s is in biology with a minor in Spanish. She has taught high school biology and advanced placement biology in Escondido and Valley Center and has been an administrator in Valley Center as well as Escondido and Ramona. She lives with her husband and family in Temecula, where they have raised four children. “We are delighted to have Dr. Staffieri rejoining the district and to lead us forward into the future,” said Lasley. “Her knowledge of the district coupled with her outstanding record of leadership in human resources and as a site administrator is very appealing to the board. We have every confidence that she will be an excellent fit for the entire community.”

Since Graeff announced his retirement plans in December, the board has held private and public meetings in its search for his replacement. The board received substantial feedback from the community about the characteristics residents would like to see in the next superintendent before advertising the position, Lasley said in April. During their closed-to-the-public meetings, the trustees reviewed applications, discussed prospective candidates, and screened, interviewed and negotiated with the top prospects. Rather than hire a consultant to work with them in their search, the trustees in January decided to do it themselves with the assistance of Graeff and Robyn Puckett, Graeff’s administrative assistant. In a 4-1 vote, with trustee John Rajcic voting present, the board approved Staffieri. Rajcic at previous meetings has said he votes present when he believes “the end product should be accomplished, but I don’t like the way we go about it.” Regarding his vote Friday, he said, “A school district of 5,900 students and declining enrollment has four superintendents (one superintendent and three assistant superintendents). I don’t believe in firing people. I believe attrition should take its course, and one of the three assistant superintendents should be superintendent.”

Hearing to address union proposal

MAUREEN ROBERTSON

Hanson Elementary Principal Chris Gunnett talks with Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., after the announcement that Staffieri will be Ramona Unified School District superintendent, effective July 1. Staffieri is expected to remain on staff with the Escondido Union School District through June 30 before joining Ramona Unified as superintendent. Several Ramona educators who had waited in the district board room while the trustees met behind closed doors congratulated Staffieri after Lasley’s announcement. They included Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Tony Newman, Montecito High School Principal Dave Lohman, Hanson Elementary Principal Chris

Gunnett, Ramona High School Librarian and Ramona Teachers Association President Cori McDonald, and Hanson Elementary fifth-grade Teacher Cory Gilbreth with her two daughters. “I am looking forward to this new opportunity,” Staffieri said Monday. “I’m excited to be returning to Ramona and I look forward to working collaboratively with our governing board, staff, students, and parents and community.” —Maureen Robertson

Ramona Unified School District Board of Education will hold a public hearing to solicit comments about the initial contract proposal of California School Employees’ Association Chapter No. 733 — the union representing the district’s support staff — to the district for 2016-17. The hearing will be in the Wilson Administrative Center Board Room, 720 Ninth St., at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, May 26. The proposal will be available at the board meeting.

Two are Title 1 Academic Achieving Schools Two of the three Ramona elementary schools receiving Gold Ribbon awards from the state also are recognized as Title 1 Academic Achieving Schools. Title 1 schools receive federal money to meet the educational needs of students living at or below the poverty level. Hanson and Ramona Elementary schools are Title 1 schools because of the number of students from families in that category. California Department of Education honored Hanson, James Dukes and Ramona Elementary as 2016 Gold Ribbon Schools because of their model programs that include standards-based activities, projects, strategies and practices that other schools can replicate. Gold Ribbon awards take the place of California Distinguished Schools honors while the state creates new assessment and accountability systems. The additional award of Title 1 Academic Achieving Schools went to Hanson and Ramona Elementary. “I’m delighted to honor these schools and programs, which are doing a tremendous job preparing our students for 21st century opportunities and graduating lifelong learners in the process,” Tom Torlakson, state superintendent of public instruction, said in his announcement of Title 1 achieving schools. “It really is the hard work of the teachers and being consistent with

the focus of raising student achievement,” said Hanson Elementary Principal Chris Gunnett. “They’ve been dedicated to that and we’re reaping the benefits of that. I’m very proud of their efforts and I’m very proud of the efforts of the students.” Hanson Elementary focused on its writing and mathematics strategies in its Gold Ribbon application to the State Department of Education. The new state standards require a deeper level of approaching a subject such as math, noted Gunnett, who is in his fourth year as Hanson principal. “It’s more than coming up with the right answer,” he said. “...We jumped on board with the whole math piece.” The model program addressed at Ramona Elementary targeted efforts to close the achievement gap and to provide educational support to its students and parents. James Dukes Elementary, which is not a Title 1 school, based its Gold Ribbon application on its character education program. The state recognized secondary schools with Gold Ribbon awards last year, when Olive Peirce Middle School and Mountain Valley Academy High School received the honor. Gold Ribbon recognition went to elementary schools this year. School representatives were at the Hilton Anaheim for the regional awards ceremony on Tuesday.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Preparing students for tomorrow BY JOHN RAJCIC hat is the purpose of the public school? “Big Brother” tells us “the mission of the public school is to prepare today's learners for tomorrow's world.” “Tomorrow“ reminds me of the sign on a saloon that reads “free beer” with the tagline around the corner — “tomorrow.” Further, it is said the mission of the school is to prepare students for success in college and the workforce. Eighty percent of college students change their major, on average, three times. Many of the jobs that were available to me no longer exist. Today people change their job, on average, 12 times. In this environment, how does the school train/educate for jobs that do not exist or students who change their major so often? At the end of World War II, knowledge was doubling every 25 years. Today, different types of knowledge have different rates of growth, but on average knowledge is doubling every 13 months. According to IBM, the buildout of the “internet of things” will lead to the doubling of knowledge every 12 hours. Fifty years ago I sat in on a medical school graduation. The speaker mentioned to the soon-to-be graduates, “half of what you learned today is wrong; the problem is we do not presently know what half.” Everything seems to significantly change — except the school and the way education/schooling is delivered, and the costs exceed inflation. A survey of 300 people inside and outside of education asked the question, “What is the purpose of the public school?” Responses were arranged into 20 groups from “Teach skills for passionate advocacy” to “Teach students what it takes to meet educational goals.” Only one person stated “reading, writing and math.” Education historian David Tyack has argued that from a historical perspective the purpose of schooling has been tied to social and economic needs. More recently, some sociologists have argued that schools exist primarily to serve a practical credentialing function in society. Expanding on the pragmatic purpose of school, DeMarrais and LeCompte outlined four major purposes of schooling that include: • Intellectual purposes such as the development of mathematical and reading skills; • Political purposes such as the assimilation of immigrants; • Economic purposes such as job preparation; and • Social purposes such as the development of social and moral responsibility.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Protest proposed sewer fee hike in writing Due to length, this will be published in two parts.

BY GARY HURST he annual Ramona Municipal Water District (RMWD) “Prop. 218/budget hearing” related to sewer fees is scheduled for June 14. This hearing is a critical part of establishing standing to pursue any further action related to ratepayers rights under Prop. 218. In the ongoing class action case the court “believed RMWD employees Hannasch and Barnum when they testified to the effect that the District Board is genuinely interested in input from ratepayers, and that a legitimate, careful and legally/factually supported challenge to the District EDU regime in the context of the annual Prop. 218/budget hearing would have received careful consideration.” This testimony was decisive in the court's opinion that the facts of the case need not be heard because plaintiffs had not “exhaust(ed) administrative remedies.” The court's opinion regarding plaintiffs' standing to bring legal action is being appealed. When the appeal of the standing opinion is heard, plaintiffs may well quote Elaine Bailey who stated that she felt “they didn't listen to me” after her RMWD “hearing” because four of the five directors felt it would “set precedent.” The facts of the on-going class action case have not been heard, and RMWD has not won the case as asserted by Barnum. At one “hearing” in the summer of 2015, then-President Darrell Beck stated that protests had not been counted. Protests can not be weighted proportionately to assessments (as required by Prop. 218) if they are not first counted. Shortly after the class action standing opinion was issued, RMWD “updated” its legislative code regarding recycled water. Much of the “update” consisted of moving language from one section to another – including reclaimed water facility mission statements “to offset demand for potable and imported water; (and) to provide water sources for uses including agricultural irrigation, landscaping and golf courses.” RMWD has contracted for nearly two decades to provide recycled water from the San Vicente Water Reclamation Plant to San Diego Country Estates (Golf Course) and Spangler Peak Ranch — currently at a rate of “about $0.08/ hundred cubic feet” when the District rate for untreated (agricultural) water is “$4.72/ hundred cubic feet” (according to RMWD's October 13, 2015 Recycled Water Study). Most of the recycled water

from the Santa Maria Water Reclamation Plant is sprayed onto grazing land at no cost (and without any cost recovery from grazing fees). Also of note from the ongoing class action case opinion is that protests must be received in a timely manner. The court wrote that “any future action would be limited by protest letters received in June 2015 (Ex. 354).” Note that RMWD successfully contended that protests must be in the form of letters – oral protests at a “hearing” do not preserve one's standing. Another successful RMWD contention related to Exhibit 354 is that standing is preserved only with regard to specific issues (such as fair EDU administration) raised in a protest letter. To preserve standing, a protest letter must be specific and timely (related to the rate change being proposed at the 6/14 hearing, and received in a protest letter before the end of the public testimony at the hearing). I recently received a Notice of Public Hearing Concerning Proposed Increases in Fees for Wastewater. The Notice states that any protest must be in writing and state the property owner's or tenant's opposition to the proposed sewer service fee increase, provide the parcel number or street address of the property (parcel) protesting, and include the name and signature of the person protesting. Verbal protests at the hearing are not counted, and do not preserve standing. The Notice states that standing to challenge any issues in court may be limited to those raised at the public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to RMWD at, or prior to, the public hearing (scheduled for June 14). However, the opinion in the ongoing class action case included a lengthy summation of “written correspondence” other than timely protest letters, and RMWD successfully argued that only timely written protest letters preserve ratepayer standing. (This opinion is being appealed.) My 2015 protest letter was cited by RMWD in the ongoing class action case as one of only two examples that preserved standing regarding 2015-16 sewer EDUs. I urge all owners and residents of San Vicente and Santa Maria Sewer Service Areas to protest RMWD's egregious violations of cost accounting practices, equitable treatment of ratepayers, and Proposition 218 rights. Help preserve your standing to seek correction of these “takings.” Write a protest letter, especially if you believe RMWD sewer fee increases violate your rights in ways besides those written in my letter. Gary Hurst is a Ramona resident.

Parents thankful to see daughter’s first day of school Medical marijuana provides ‘second chance at life’ BY KAREN BRAINARD The first day of school is an exciting day for any child, but for Sadie Higuera it was a momentous occasion and one her parents thought they might never see. Sadie, who turned 3 years old on May 4, attended her first day of special needs preschool at Ramona Elementary on Monday. “It’s been pretty exciting for us,” said Brian Higuera, Sadie’s father. “She had a great first day.” “She seemed happy,” said Sadie’s mother, Damaris. “She had a couple of smiles for us,” added Brian. Sadie was born with a rare genetic disorder called Schinzel-Giedion syndrome and suffered from life-threatening seizures, as well as tumors. Medications prescribed by doctors produced side effects, including puffiness, and didn’t help, Brian said. Every night the parents wondered if that would

After being told there were no more options when she was about 8 months old, Brian and Damaris visited with a doctor at Centric Wellness in San Diego and turned to a form of medical marijuana. Through a tube in her stomach, Sadie receives a high concentration cannabidiol hemp oil called Real Scientific Hemp Oil (RSHO) from the San

Diego-based company HempMeds. “Basically medical cannabis gave her a second chance at life,” said Brian. “It made her come alive.” Her seizures were significantly reduced and the tumors are gone, said Brian. A homeschool teacher who would visit with Sadie for an hour each week suggested she be assessed to attend the special

needs preschool, said Damaris. Sadie will attend the school four days a week for three hours each morning. On her first day, Brian said she had a sensory class and a communications class, but her favorite time appeared to be hearing lullabies. Brian said he can tell her favorite songs are “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “It’s a Wonderful World.”

FROM TRAIL, A1 need access through state-owned property. “It is a huge public safety issue that needs to get resolved,” she said. “I hate to see something really bad happen before we get this resolved because there are entities not moving as quickly as they should be.” On April 22, hundreds of hikers showed up during the evening rush hour for a pink full moon hike that was announced on Facebook, and California Highway Patrol, which monitored the area, said there were a few close calls with pedestrians crossing the highway. Although the trail seems to have gained in popularity with social media publicizing the hike to the mountaintop’s famed Potato Chip Rock, the parking issue is a decades-old problem, according to Jim Edwards, who lives on Mt. Woodson Road. Back in the late 1980s, Edwards said hundreds of hikers would park every month in their quiet neighborhood on Mt. Woodson Road, and residents complained. In an April 1989 letter to then county Supervisor George Bailey, Rob Lewallen, then chair of the Ramona Community Planning Group, wrote of people looking for solutions to the “large scale problem” that had developed. “A regional park has been established with no facilities, the S T A T E

Twenty-seven years later, residents are still asking for facilities. No-parking signs have since been placed on Mt. Woodson Road, and at one street’s entrance residents have erected a big handwritten sign saying “Potato Chip Rock” with an arrow pointing farther north. With no bathrooms, Edwards said hikers occasionally use his wooded yard. Carey Goldstein, park ranger for T H E

the City of San Diego Open Space Division, said he is aware of the situation and goes there most weekends, picking up trash, handing out maps of other open spaces and trails that are not so populated, and, when necessary, handing out bottles of water. Although he has signs posted, alerting people to bring water, many are ill-prepared. Goldstein noted that even if it is not hot, the extreme exercise can be hazardous and hikers need to have water. There is access to Potato Chip Rock from Lake Poway in the west,

but Goldstein said that is a 3-1/2 mile hike. While the hike to the top from Route 67 is two miles, he said, many don’t realize it is more vertical at a 1,200-foot climb. Goldstein is amazed that people from all over the world know of Mt. Woodson. “Mt. Woodson’s gone viral,” he said. A company in Japan contacted the ranger’s office last year about shooting a reality segment at Potato Chip Rock and received the permit to do it, said Goldstein. “We were astounded people

heard about it there,” he said. The ranger said he also met people who were visiting from Sweden and asked about Mt. Woodson. Edwards said he is worried that the city will want to eventually close the mountain to the public because of the communications towers. He worked on installing a tower for a subcontractor in the mid-1980s, and said he appreciates the beauty of the area. “This is the crown jewel of Ramona,” he said. Edwards wants to make sure his grandchildren can enjoy it. “All I want is a parking place and a bathroom for the people,” said Edwards.

CHAMBER PLANS Joe Stupar, Ramona Chamber of Commerce executive director, prepares to sign a copy of Ken Follett’s “Edge of Eternity” after giving Ramona Rotary Club members an overview of chamber activities and plans. With him is Rotary treasurer Sharon Greene, who said the club has restarted a tradition of donating a book to Ramona Library in a guest speaker’s name as a thank you to the speaker. Among topics Stupar addressed in his “Building a Foundation to Promote Our Community” talk are a Ramona event calendar, formation of a backcountry economic development committee, getting the word out about Ramona’s many resources, working on a Ramona app that will be linked to Ramona events, setting up touchscreen kiosks, working to provide more lodging, and investing in Ramona’s youth by providing internships — the chamber has two interns from Montecito High School.

BUSINESS

County wants to ease rules for ag businesses Draft EIR available for review BY KAREN BRAINARD Agricultural homestays, roadside sales and tourism, microbreweries, and distillery and cider production are just some of the areas in which the county seeks to provide residents with greater flexibility through its proposed Agricultural Promotion Program. A public review of the draft environmental impact report for the proposal is at www.sandiegocounty.gov/content /sdc/pds/advance/agriculture promotion.html. The 45-day California Environmental Quality Act

(CEQA) review ends June 13. Written comments or questions may be directed to Dennis Campbell by emailing Dennis.Campbell@sdcounty.ca.gov or calling 858-505-6380. County Supervisor Dianne Jacob told Ramona residents at her Coffee with Constituents in February that because the Tiered Winery Ordinance has been so successful there have been requests for beer production, bed and breakfasts, cheesemaking “and other kinds of ag endeavors to promote ag tourism.”

In August 2014, the county Board of Supervisors directed staff to start working on a program that could streamline planning and land use regulations to expand and promote agricultural pursuits and to boost the regional economy. The project covers the county’s unincorporated areas. Among the program’s proposed amendments to the county’s zoning ordinance is expanding by-right zoning for boutique wineries, currently limited to A70 and A72 agricultural zones, to include S92 rural zones. With the tourist draw to Ramona’s wineries, some community leaders have emphasized the need for more lodging options. One such option is

agricultural homestays, where bedrooms on a working farm or ranch can be rented for temporary lodging. The current zoning ordinance addresses agricultural homestays but limits them to specific zones and requires a minor use permit. Among the proposed amendments are adding more zones for agricultural homestays, and changing the permit requirement to a zoning verification permit. Other areas addressed in the program are cooking, canning or preparation operations related to on-site food production; mobile butchering; on-site retail horticultural sales accessory to nursery sites; and animal raising.

While the draft EIR finds less than significant environmental impacts related to land use, policy, or regulation, it finds significant environmental impacts in air quality/greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, noise, traffic, and water supply and groundwater. To mitigate for those, project alternatives are proposed. The Board of Supervisors will have to decide whether or how to mitigate significant effects, whether to reject or approve an alternative, or whether to reject or approve the proposed project, according to the report.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Winery, brewery catering At the suggestion of Supervisor Dianne Jacob, the county Board of Supervisors directed staff to conduct a pilot project to study catered food service for public events at breweries and wineries. The board’s unanimous vote at its May 4 meeting also asks the county’s chief administrative officer to return within 210 days with results of the pilot project and recommendations for a catering ordinance that would implement food safety standards in alignment with the California Retail Food Code. “In an effort to enhance customer experience, some local brewery and winery operators have hired caterers to provide

food for their customers, and others are expressing an interest in expanding their food service options to include catering,” the agenda item stated. County code does not clearly depict how catering options should be conducted on premises for breweries and wineries, the report to the supervisors said. In other business related to Ramona, the board agreed to a minor subdivision’s public improvements that include street, drainage, water and sewer. Located on the east side of Ashley Road and Ninth Street, the proposed subdivision calls for four single-family parcels on 2.5 acres. Store decorating contest

I would add critical thinking skills, which hopefully would be imbedded in the intellectual, political, economic and social purposes noted above. I was taught and still firmly believe the purpose of public education is to perpetuate the culture through a common language. It would be tragic if the main function of education was to train hands for industry and college entrance, as important as that may be. The professional teacher has a personal responsibility to be current in pedagogy and content. All it takes to accomplish the task is an effective teacher, a willing student and supportive home. The great innovative and creative teacher (Ramona has many) fills in the gaps if any. The volumes of paperwork brought about by Common Core, Local Control Accountability Plan (whose recommendations are a dream), Local Control Funding Formula, and the volumes of codes, laws and policies are suffocating the teacher. Interest/grit trumps test scores. Outrageous expectations must be the standard for all students. Beware of conformity. Conformity leads to mediocrity, mediocrity leads to regression to the mean, and therein lies the great abyss. When will the circuit take your job? No, you are not paranoid. That is a robot following you with an eye on your job. John Rajcic, a Ramona school board member, stresses that this is his opinion as an individual and he is not representing the board.

Powell sets record in 100 butterfly CIF diving finals Friday BY JOE NAIMAN Brandon Powell has qualified for the CIF San Diego Section meet that consists of swim preliminaries Thursday afternoon, finals Saturday afternoon at Granite Hills High School, and diving Friday at Mesa College. If he has one of the three fastest times in an event at the section finals he will also qualify for the CIF state meet. Although the true conclusion of his high school swimming career is uncertain, the Ramona High School senior set a Valley League meet record for the 100-yard butterfly on May 7. Powell won the butterfly race with a time of 51.89 seconds, which also broke his school record of 52.17 seconds set March 19 at the Mission Viejo Invitational. "It was just an outstanding swim. He's really putting together all the things I've asked him to do as far as the technical stuff," said coach Jolyn Yanez. The league meet was at Fallbrook High School and consisted of swim

Ramona took first place in six events. Junior Ethan Blackburn won the 50 freestyle and the 100 freestyle, sophomore Sophia Mittman was the girls diving champion, and Ramona's boys won the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. The boys finished second overall among the six Valley League teams and

the girls placed third. The boys concluded league dual meet competition with a 4-1 record. The Bulldogs improved to 4-0 with a 111-71 home victory April 21 against Valley Center. Fallbrook also had a 4-0 record entering the April 28 meet at Ramona. Last year the Warriors ended their undefeated league dual meet season with a 107-63 triumph at Ramona's expense. "This year it was much more competitive, so that was exciting," Yanez said. The 2015 Bulldog boys also lost a league dual meet to Classical Academy and finished third in league competition. Ramona’s girls defeated Valley Center, 88-76, but lost to Fallbrook by a 115-64 score to give the Bulldogs a 2-3 mark in league dual meets. The Bulldogs, whose girl divers this year are the first for Ramona since 2006, had a 51-point lead entering the swimming portion of the meet. "That was really substantial for us," Yanez said. Mittman had a score of 177.75 points on her six dives to win the meet. SEE SWIM, A16

PREP GIRLS LACROSSE

Bulldogs fall in playoffs BY JOE NAIMAN The 2016 season ended for Ramona High School's girls lacrosse team with a 7-6 loss at Patrick Henry High School on Saturday. "We went out with a pretty good game," said assistant coach Al Cavell. The Bulldogs' play was in contrast to Ramona's 14-3 loss May 3 at El Camino that gave the Bulldogs their only Valley League loss of the year and the Wildcats the league championship. "Varsity actually took a very tough loss," Cavell said. "We had a game that was very sloppily played, and you can't play like that and expect to win." Ramona still finished second in the league standings with a 4-1 record. The junior varsity game between Ramona and El Camino was an 11-5 Bulldogs victory. Nine Ramona seniors closed out their high school career with the playoff game, and five junior varsity players were brought up to the varsity for experience. The CIF playoff seeding and selection meeting May 5 gave Ramona the 11th seed in the Division II playoffs, which sent the Bulldogs on the road to sixth-seeded Patrick Henry. "This was one of the best games our girls played," Cavell said. The Patriots held a 3-2 halftime lead. SEE LAX, A16

After sweeping rounds one and two in the season opener of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, Ramona’s Brandon “Stinger” Arthur headed into rounds three and four at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park in Lake Elsinore, looking to pick up where he left off, but instead struggled with unforeseen mechanical issues. He still managed to garner third and fourth places in the rounds, and is sitting second in points going into rounds 5 and 6 on May 21 and 22 at the Utah Motorsports Campus in Tooele, Utah. During the round three qualifier, Arthur was at the top of the list, qualifying as No. 1, and his Pro Lite Truck was prepped to its customary level of precision. However, at the drop of the green flag for round three, Arthur could immediately feel his truck was down on power. With his foot buried into the firewall, he came out of turn one in third place. The easiest scenario would have been a quick, caution-free race, but he got the opposite. Filled with cautions, the race seemed to drag on

forever. The engine was getting hot and likely causing damage as time progressed. Arthur used his truck-handling skills to milk every ounce of power out of the engine and get it to the ground. Despite tough competition, he held onto the third spot for another podium finish. “We were down on power, the truck got real hot but held together,” he said. “We had to pull the heads off and replace the head gaskets after round three. It was not 100 percent but it was still running. On Sunday, before our race, a dust devil blew through and destroyed our canopy. It was a crazy weekend.” For round 4, Arthur qualified back in the ninth position so he had race his way to the front. “I tried my best to keep my momentum,” he said.“My Toyo Tires were really hooked up so I could drive it real deep in the corners and get on the gas early.” Battling the entire way, he finished just off the podium in fourth place.

Trimble with Ramona Fire Department. It’s difficult to hold as large an event in October because there is competition with other agencies that also hold events for Fire Prevention Week and it’s an extremely busy time of year for Cal Fire, with units often being called out of town to fight fires, said Trimble. Other agencies that partnered with Cal Fire for the open house in Ramona were the Barona and Poway fire departments, the California Department of Forestry, the California Highway Patrol, and the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Another reason for the open house is because Cal Fire receives so many requests from the community for tours and appearances that it’s difficult to accept every one. Most of those requests involve children who look up to firefighters. “Everybody loves the kids and the kids seem to love us, so we do whatever we can to make them happy,” said Trimble.

grade. Scheib was on the Ramona High School varsity basketball team for all four of her high school years and became a starter as a sophomore. She was also on the junior varsity track and field team as a freshman. Scheib earned Valley League first-team honors as a junior and as a senior, and she concluded her high school career as one of the Bulldogs' captains. "You could never hope for a captain to be more responsible at that level than she's been. She's respected and liked and she's just been a joy to coach," Marshall said. Scheib's Ramona High School highlight is being part of Bulldogs teams that won four consecutive Valley League championships, including a tri-championship in 2012-13. Ramona had never previously won four consecutive league championships. Scheib hopes to major in cognitive science in college and plans a career as an occupational therapist or a special education teacher.

PREP TRACK AND FIELD

Sojourner breaks school hurdles record BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School senior Emily Sojourner set the girls 100-meter hurdles school record at the Escondido Invitational meet at Escondido High School. Sojourner won her heat race in 16.29 seconds to break the school record of 16.55 seconds set by Kelly Helman in 2012. "That was exciting. I knew she was going to get it soon," said head coach Sherri Edwards. The Escondido Invitational was the second of three meets for Ramona over a four-day period. Ramona hosted Fallbrook for an April 27 Valley League dual meet. The Bulldog boys improved their league record to 2-0 with an 87-48 victory over the Warriors while Ramona's girls fell to 1-1 in league competition with a 67-65 loss. Ramona's boys had a close win in the meet-opening 4x100 relay. "I didn't think we were going to," Edwards said. "It was like a photo finish. We had to look at the camera to see who won." Giovanni Ortiz, Jalen Boykins, Caleb Berman and Januar Ranadhan had a time of 44.97 seconds. Ramona swept the boys pole vault points. Brandon Hankins cleared 13 feet 6 inches, sophomore Joey Lowery earned his first varsity points with a height of 10-6, and Chase Jackoway vaulted 10-0. Parker Christopher won four individual events against Fallbrook. He had a time of 23.90 seconds in the 200 dash, a time of 52.00 seconds in the 400 race, a long jump of 20-2 and a triple jump of 40-2 1/2. Connor Anderson won both throwing events April 27 with a discus throw of 161-4 and a shot put distance of 43-3 1/4. Oscar Reyes gave Ramona second-place points in both events with a discus distance of 138-8 and a shot put which landed 38-7 3/4 beyond the throwing circle. On April 22 junior Ian Cirillo broke his ankle in practice and

is out for the remainder of the season, but Ramona still had the top two times in the 110 hurdles. Berman finished that race in 16.87 seconds and Sean Stemm had a time of 18.12. Berman was second in the 300 hurdles with a time of 44.23. Joey Jauregui won the 3,200 race in 10:44.36. A time of 11:13.62 gave freshman Jack Clough second place and his first varsity points. Ramona's sweep of first place in the distance races also included a 1,600 time of 4:31.73 for Gabe Plendcio and a 2:03.00 performance by Colin McNulty in the 800 race. McNulty's victory was the closest of the three distance event winners. "He came from behind and leaned him out at the end," Edwards said. Ranadhan had the winning time of 11.69 seconds in the 100 dash. Since the result of the boys meet was decided prior to the 4x400 relay which normally concludes a meet and since both teams were participating in the Escondido Invitational, Edwards and Fallbrook coach Marco Arias agreed not to run the boys 4x400 race. Ramona's girls won both relay races against Fallbrook with Jenni Rivera, Tuesday Christopher, Hannah Farhat and Holly Stallman posting a winning time of 50.54 seconds in the 4x100 and Christopher, Rivera, Sierra Crenshaw and Rayna Valade completing the 4x400 in 4:11.93. Stallman added three individual victories against the Warriors with a 100 dash time of 12.51 seconds, a 200 dash performance of 26.25 seconds, and a long jump of 16-3. Rivera took third in the 100 dash at 13.19 and in the 200 dash with a time of 27.16. Ramona swept the pole vault points. Makenna Krueger, Elexis Espina, and Nicole Lewis all cleared 7-0 but all failed to clear 7-6 to create a three-way tie for first place. The varsity points were the first for Espina, who is a freshman. Ramona failed to have a qualified height in the high jump.

Sojourner won the 300 hurdles in 49.11 while freshman Madison Cirillo earned her first varsity point with the third-place time of 54.31. Sojourner finished second in the 100 hurdles with a time of 17.13. Ramona sophomore Ally Luna won the 800 race with a time of 2:27.74, but the Warriors swept the 1,600 points and Ramona's only 3,200 scoring was for third place when Perla Cruz completed her laps in 13:20.90. Luna also placed third in the triple jump with a distance of 31-4. Valade had the winning time of 1:02.18 in the 400 race while Christopher was third at 1:03.34. Peyton White won the shot put with a throw of 30-4 1/4 and placed second in the discus with a distance of 88-8. Both Christopher siblings won competitions at the Escondido Invitational. Parker Christopher had a time of 52.51 in the boys 400 race and Tuesday Christopher had a triple jump of 31-9. Stallman tied for first in the long jump with a distance of 17-10 while finishing second in the 100 dash with a time of 12.19 and placing fifth in the 200 dash with a 25.81 performance. Sojourner complemented her 100 hurdles win and school record with a personal record of 48.75 in the 300 hurdles and took third place in her heat. Plendcio was seventh in the 1,600 race but set a personal record of 4:24.15. Anderson placed second in the discus with a throw of 169-11. The freshman girls open 100 dash at the Dick Wilkins Frosh-Soph Invitational included a second-place time of 54.14 achieved by Madison Cirillo, Toni Marie Dominguez, Ashley Reynolds and Amber Cogbill. Luna finished third in the open 300 hurdles race with a personal record of 50.14. Berman finished third in the invitational 100 hurdles and set a personal record of 15.94. Although Clough finished 13th in the freshman boys invitational 1,600 race, his time of 4:41.58 set a Ramona High School freshman record. "It was a good week," Edwards said.

FROM LAX, A11 "It was a back and forth game," Cavell said. With 6:45 remaining a Patrick Henry goal gave the Patriots a 7-5 advantage. Ramona scored with 1:05 left and then won the

FROM SWIM, A11 "I think it's absolutely outstanding," Yanez said. Mittman swims as well as dives for the Bulldogs. "She brings a lot to the team," Yanez said. "She's an outstanding person to have on the team." The second-place diver was Ramona junior Jessica Gallegos, who had a score of 172.25 points, and Ramona junior Shannon Reiling was third with 168.45 points. Ramona also obtained the fifth-place diving points as junior Kelsey Sherman had a score of 155.05. The highest swimming finish for Ramona's girls was third, which occurred in the 400 freestyle race Maddie Schwegler, Carney Flinn, Trinity Stewart and Katie Szakara swam in 4:18.11. Schwegler had the best finish for a Ramona girl in an individual event. Her times of 2:09.69 in the 200 freestyle and 1:00.33 in the 100 freestyle both placed fourth. Blackburn's first league meet win was in the 50 freestyle, which he completed in 22.20 seconds, finishing approximately a body length in front of the second-place swimmer. "He went out with the mindset before he stepped on the blocks he was going to win

draw, but the Bulldogs were unable to take a shot for the tying goal. "We just ran out of time," Cavell said. The playoff match finalized Ramona's overall season record at 10-11. "Now we're going to start looking at next year," Cavell said. the race," Yanez said. "It was an outstanding race. He did a great job in the 100 as well." Blackburn decided the 100 freestyle when Blackburn touched the finish wall 49.54 seconds after the starter's gun fired. The winning 200 medley relay team consisted of Spencer Schwegler, Kyle McLoughlin, Jacob Powers and Trevor White. The quartet had a winning time of 1:46.69. They had the fourth-fastest time in the preliminaries. "That was a pretty substantial move-up," Yanez said. "The guys really stepped up." Blackburn, Schwegler, White and Powell won the 400 freestyle relay in 3:22.23. "It was an absolute capstone of the meet for sure," Yanez said. Although Fallbrook won the boys diving event with a score of 173.75, Ramona captured the next three finishing positions with scores of 171.65 points for Dylan Webb, 168.50 for Cole Muse and 166.80 for Cooper Smith. A score of 128.0 gave Matthew Wallace seventh place. Ramona had a 43-point lead from the diving results. "I think that's huge," Yanez said. The boys who are diving are the first for Ramona since 2010. "I don't think you can be disappointed with a group of kids who had zero introduction to diving before February," Yanez said.

Medicare News BY DAVID SAYEN

How Medicare’s hospice benefit works

hoosing to enter hospice care can be a wrenching decision for yourself or a loved one. Hospice is intended to help terminally-ill people live out their lives as comfortably as possible. Hospice doesn’t focus on curing disease and it’s not only for people with cancer. Medicare’s hospice benefit covers your care, and you shouldn’t have to go outside of hospice to get care except in rare situations. Once you choose hospice, your hospice benefit should cover everything you need. If you qualify for hospice care, you and your family will work with your hospice provider to set up a plan of care that meets your needs. You and your family members are the most important part of your medical team. Your team can also include doctors, nurses or nurse practitioners, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, hospice aides, homemakers and volunteers. A hospice nurse and doctor are on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to give you and your family support and care when you need it. You can also include your regular doctor or a nurse practitioner on your medical team as the attending professional supervising your care. The hospice benefit allows you and your family to stay together in the comfort of your home, unless you need care in an inpatient facility. If your hospice provider determines that you need inpatient care, your hospice provider will make the arrangements for your stay. To find a hospice provider, talk to your doctor or call your state hospice organization. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization has a website — www.nhpco.org/find-hospice — that allows you to look up local providers based on your zip code. You can get hospice care if you have Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and you meet these conditions: ■ Your hospice doctor and your regular doctor (if you have one) certify that you’re terminally ill (with a life expectancy of six

months or less); ■ You accept palliative care (for comfort) instead of care to cure your illness; ■ You sign a statement choosing hospice care instead of other Medicare-covered treatments for your terminal illness and related conditions. You have the right to stop hospice care at any time. If you choose to do so, you’ll go back to the type of Medicare coverage you had before you chose a hospice provider — Original Medicare, a Medicare Advantage plan, or another type of Medicare health plan. Your Medicare benefits include a one-time-only consultation with a hospice medical director or hospice doctor to discuss your care options and management of your pain and symptoms. You can get this consultation even if you decide not to get hospice care. Depending on your terminal illness and related conditions, the plan of care your hospice team creates can include doctor and nursing services, medical equipment such as wheelchairs and walkers, medical supplies such as bandages and catheters, prescription drugs, hospice aide and homemaker services, physical and occupational therapy, speech-language pathology services, social worker services, dietary counseling, grief and loss counseling for you and your family, short-term inpatient care for pain and symptom management, and any other Medicare-covered services needed to manage your terminal illness and related conditions, as recommended by your hospice team. If your usual caregiver, such as a family member, needs a rest, you also can get inpatient respite care in a Medicare-approved facility such as a hospice inpatient facility, hospital or nursing home. Your hospice provider will arrange this for you. You can stay up to five days each time you get respite care. For more information on Medicare’s hospice benefit, including costs, go to www.medicare.gov/Pubs/pdf/02154.pdf. David Sayen is Medicare’s regional administrator for California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada and the Pacific Territories. For more information, call 1-800-633-4227.

Four teenagers face felony charges in school vandalism City News Service — Four Warner Springs High School students face felony vandalism charges following their arrests on suspicion of defacing and damaging the school’s campus so severely it and adjacent educational facilities had to be closed for a week. The suspects, three boys and a girl ages 16 and 17, were taken into custody Monday and booked into juvenile hall, according to sheriff's officials. The youths' names were withheld because they are minors. The spree of malicious property damage at

the state Route 79 secondary school occurred sometime between May 1 and last Tuesday and included graffiti, broken windows, hurled furniture and discharged fire extinguishers, Sgt. Carlos Medina said. Repair and restoration costs exceeded $40,000, the sergeant said. The vandalism was significant enough to require a temporary closure of the entire Warner Unified School District complex, which comprises kindergarten through 12th-grade classrooms and offices on the same site northeast of Lake Henshaw.

In March the board gave the go-ahead for the Charles Lindbergh mural on the west wall of the Masonic Lodge on Ninth Street, at the corner of Main Street. Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Committee vice president Judy Nachazel presented a picture of the swimming hole mural that will be painted by muralist Thom Guerra and depicts a boy jumping into the pool at the bottom of Cedar Creek Falls. “It is a local landmark,” she said. A visitor’s use permit is required to hike to Cedar Creek Falls, east of San Diego Country Estates in the Cleveland National Forest, and jumping or diving from the cliffs around the pool is prohibited for public safety reasons. Those moves came after the U.S. Forest Service improved the trail to the falls in early 2011, drawing throngs of hikers, many unprepared for the strenuous hike and some necessitating rescues by emergency responders. Nachazel said Guerro took photographs of the falls and noted he is a realistic painter. The mural will be approximately 17 feet by 28 feet, and the boy will be life-size, she said. “One of the things about this is it’s Rockwell-esque,” said board chair Rob Lewallen, referring to works by artist Norman Rockwell. The mural was approved 5-0. Absent from the meeting were members Chris Anderson, Eric Guenther and Jim Cooper. The Lindbergh mural, formerly on the San Diego International Airport commuter terminal, received a 4-1 vote in March with Rex Gammon opposed and Anderson, Guenther and Dan Vengler absent. The 40-foot-tall mural, painted by John and Jeanne Whalen, will be reduced in

height so that it will only rise 7-1/2 feet above the roofline, said Lewallen. To do that, 5-1/2 feet will be removed from the bottom of the mural, cutting Lindbergh’s legs about mid-calf. A parapet will be built on the roof behind the extended portion, and the building’s wall will be painted a graduated blue to represent the sky around Lindbergh. A seat on the board, formerly held by Carol Close who resigned in January, remains vacant as no candidates have shown up at the board meetings. “We really do need to get it filled,” said Lewallen. The nine-member board meets at 7:30 p.m. the last Thursday of the month at Ramona Community Center. Board members review project site planning, architecture, landscape design, signage and lighting. In selecting candidates, emphasis is given to those with backgrounds in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, fine arts, or construction. Anyone interested in applying is asked to attend the board’s May 26 meeting. In other business, Lewallen said one member of the public spoke in March on behalf of several who were worried that Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church may put up temporary banners and cover the Welcome to Ramona monument at state Route 67 and Highland Valley Road. Spirit of Joy owns the property and broke ground March 27 for its long-awaiting church campus. The church banners announcing its groundbreaking were larger than they were allowed to be, he said. According to members at the April 28 meeting, the church does not plan to put up any more temporary banners. The abundance of feather signs — temporary vertical banners that many businesses place outside — has also been discussed. Lewallen said they are supposed to be temporary but people are leaving them up.

Carnival Fun C ool temperatures and light rain accompanied by a 10-minute downpour did not deter the community from enjoying the Ramona Elementary Carnival on Friday. The event, staged by English Language Advisory Committee parents and the PTA with assistance from Ramona and Montecito High School students, raised $2,800 toward new playground equipment at the school. It featured games, food, dancing, a jump house and the Friends of Ramona Unified Schools’ Royal Shower.

Ramona Homes & Real Estate RE/MAX Direct honors six sales associates

Sophisticated upgrades to give home wow factor (StatePoint) Want to give your house a touch of sophistication that makes it stand apart? This summer, consider making some modern upgrades. Up-to-Date Lighting If you are still living with your home’s original light fixtures, it may be time for an upgrade. Even the most contemporary home design elements can be wasted when illuminated by the wrong lighting. Swap standard fixtures for sophisticated, sleek designs that complement your home’s style. Use accent lighting to enhance particular pieces of artwork. Task lighting in areas where you cook, write or work with your hands is functional and an opportunity to add style to a room. Take advantage of natural lighting as much as possible, especially during the longer days of summer. If opaque, heavy drapes block out sunlight, consider replacing window treatments with something more sheer. Home Theater On a hot day, there is nothing like cooling down with a blockbuster. Impress guests on movie night by transforming your run-of-the-mill entertainment center into a bona fide home theater. A windowless room or other area of the house with less natural light that can be easily soundproofed is ideal. A projector and surround sound will ensure great audio-visuals. For seating, consider installing stadium theater seating. Vintage touches like gold curtains that draw back before movies and a popcorn machine will add extra charm.

RE/MAX Direct sales associates Cristina Vaughn, Susan Willis, Tarrah Roane, Kip Pitman, Andrea Stykel and Peter San Nicolas have been honored for their sales production. For the third consecutive year, Vaughn was inducted into the prestigious RE/Max 100% Club. Willis, Roane, Pitman, Stykel and San Nicolas were inducted into the Executive Club. The awards, given annually, were presented at an awards ceremony. “We are very proud of our agents for their accomplishments and ongoing commitment to servicing customers,” said Jeff Gan, broker and owner of RE/MAX Direct. “It’s an honor to be part of a team that puts their clients first to ensure a positive real estate experience.” RE/MAX Direct is at 1410 Main St., Suite A, and may be reached at 760-788-1000 or online at www.remax-direct-ramona-ca.com.

Cris Vaughn receives the RE/MAX 100% Club award for her outstanding production. Susan Willis, Tarrah Roane, Kip Pitman, Andrea Stykel and Peter San Nicolas receive Executive Club awards based on sales production for 2015.
