Water board raises ambulance fees BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Municipal Water District will not be asking voters to increase the Fire EDU fee this November, but is raising the ambulance and paramedic user fees for the second time in a year. With the costs continuing to rise for Ramona Fire Department operations, RMWD Director Joe Zenovic asked the board at its May 10 meeting to consider a ballot measure to raise the Fire EDU fee. The

annual fee of $188.52 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) — a single-family residence is typically one EDU — has been in place since 1996, the year it was established. Last year, Cal Fire’s $5.95 million contract with RMWD to provide fire protection services was about half a million dollars more than the previous year. Fire EDU fees only pay for a portion of that amount, said the district. To make up for the shortfall, SEE FEES, A2

RMWD used $2.7 million of its discretionary property tax revenue, slightly more than half of the total revenue. Zenovic said if that money could be used for sewer plant projects, it could possibly prevent sewer rate increases. In addition to Cal Fire costs, Zenovic noted that the fire department will be replacing two ambulances for about $450,000, and will be needing a new fire engine. Zenovic proposed raising the Fire EDU by $185 per year, for a total of $373, saying that would nearly fund the current shortage and maintain the level of service, and would amount to an extra 50 cents per day. Director George Foote asked David Barnum, RMWD’s general manager, how much a ballot measure would cost. After throwing out different amounts, Barnum said it could total $250,000 with the county registrar fee, mailers, and an independent rate and fee study to determine the needed increase, and it typically takes a year to prepare. Board President Thomas Ace said he was not opposed to a ballot measure but was concerned about the timing of it. Ace, a retired fire chief, said he had been involved with ballot initiatives for two other fire protection districts and both were successful. “It was a year in the planning to get something on the ballot,” Ace said, adding that it was a “herculean effort” that included public outreach. “I would only like to move forward with it with a presumption of success,” he said. Because the fee is considered a special tax, two-thirds voter approval is required. An effort by RMWD in 2005 to increase the fee failed to receive the required votes. Board vice president Darrell Beck said they asked for a $100 increase

and only received 45.8 percent approval. Zenovic said they also included an open-ended escalator. Ace said he thinks the November election will draw a large voter turnout, which statistically makes it more difficult to reach two-thirds approval, and he would prefer to do it in an off-election year when there is a low voter turnout. Zenovic indicated he was OK with additional time to prepare, but said he didn’t want to wait another 20 years. “I’m going to push this issue to the point where I’d like to see something done,” he said. Director Jim Hickle agreed, saying the costs will only go up. “We’ve got to address this issue,” said Hickle. “Let’s start getting the ball rolling on it.” The board agreed to let the Fire Ad Hoc Committee of Ace and Beck continue studying costs and ways to address the Fire EDU and give a monthly report. After a public hearing on hikes in ambulance and paramedic user fees, the board unanimously approved the $350 increased base rates for advanced and basic life support to help fund the operations and two new ambulances. Resident Rex Gammon was the only person to speak at the hearing, opposing the hike, noting that Medicare only pays 23 percent of what it is charged, and saying he did not think raising rates would generate more revenue. The board also approved a change order for the Clarifier No. 4 Project at the Santa Maria Water Reclamation Plant, bringing the contract amount to $1.39 million. The project, expected to be completed this month, was budgeted for $1.79 million. Project funding includes $1.124 million from The Nature Conservancy’s March purchase of a conservation easement in the district’s spray fields.

Judge orders prison for bank robber, 65 Vietnam war veteran robbed branch twice BY NEAL PUTNAM Four years in federal prison was handed down to Ramona resident Timothy Edward Graham May 12 for twice robbing the Bank of America branch at 1407 Main St. In addition, U.S. District Court Judge Anthony Battaglia ordered Graham, 65, to pay $6,144 to Bank of America. The judge said Graham will still be bound after his release to pay back the bank. “Robbery is a very personal, intimate crime to the victim,” said Battaglia. “It is a crime that involves danger. People need to feel safe.” Battaglia said the sentence comes with “a deterrence — in that you never do this again.” He added: “This was a price way too big to pay for $6,000. Your freedom will be restricted.” Graham, wearing a tan prison uniform, said he accepted responsibility for the holdups and said he would not appeal. A jury convicted him Feb. 25 after three hours of deliberations in a three-day trial. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jarad Hodes asked in court documents for a five-year term, but in open court said a four-year sentence would be sufficient after Graham acknowledged robbing the bank. Graham’s attorney, Robert Rexrode III, argued in court papers that he should be sentenced to the six months he has spent in jail, but the judge disagreed. “Time served is a non-starter for me….an abomination to the victims,” Battaglia said. Battaglia recommended Graham be housed at Terminal Island because it has a medical facility. Rexrode wrote in court papers his client is “in near constant pain” from a back injury and arthritis. Battaglia noted that federal sentencing guidelines for the offense recommend a sentence between 78 and 97 months, but that was excessive. He also noted that Graham is a

Vietnam War veteran. Graham’s longtime friend, Ramona resident Wayne Van Dell, was in the audience and said afterward that he and his wife have taken in Graham’s twin 18-year-old daughters, one of whom has cerebral palsy and requires care. “I promised Tim I would always take care of his girls while he’s incarcerated,” said Van Dell. “It’s one of those things God asked us to do.” Social Security payments to the daughter with cerebral palsy were discontinued, and the judge asked Van Dell about it in open court. Van Dell said they were trying to get the payments re-started. Graham’s first wife, Paula, died of breast cancer some years after the couple adopted the two girls. The couple lost a toddler in the 1980s in a swimming pool accident, his brother said in a letter to the judge. As to Graham not appealing the jury’s verdicts, Van Dell said his friend told his daughters he was “determined to accept responsibility” for the crimes. “He wants it to be clear — he knows what he did was wrong. He feels if he appeals it, he wasn’t trying to accept it,” said Van Dell. “He’s trying to heal that relationship with his daughters.” The first bank robbery occurred on Feb. 11, 2015, and the second on Nov. 19, 2015. Graham was arrested the day after the second robbery. Linda Sparks, who was married to Graham from 2009-15, identified him as the man seen in bank surveillance photos. She testified that a shirt in the bank photo was one she had washed 100 times. Another photo showed him wearing a medical mask. According to court records, the money apparently was spent gambling and for pain medication. Rexrode told the jury that Graham had been visiting casinos and had deposited his winnings in his bank account, which accounted for several large deposits. The second holdup occurred with a gun. The FBI found a gun under Graham’s bed with a wooden handle that matched a teller’s description.

OPINION

GUEST COMMENTARY

Lifesaving legislation T

BY LEAH BALDERSON he triage, treatment and transport that emergency medical service practitioners provide can often be the difference between life and death for patients with a medical emergency. The unique nature of emergency medical services is unlike other health care services governed by the Controlled Substances Act. There is a routinely encountered clinical need for controlled substance medications in the practice of EMS medicine, ranging from the administration of pain narcotics to anti-seizure medications. Emergency medical technicians and paramedics need to administer these lifesaving drugs as quickly as they are able to reach and assess the patient, and any delay wastes valuable time in the provision of care. Established practice allows emergency medical service practitioners to administer and deliver these controlled substances under the oversight of physicians, primarily through directional guidelines written by physicians, commonly known as standing orders. Laws and regulations have not kept up with the evolution of modern medicine, however, and in a recent review of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), the Department of Justice determined that legislation is needed to codify "standing orders." Absent of Congressional action, patients may lose access to those lifesaving medications in emergency situations, and established practice will be disrupted because laws have not kept up with the evolution of medicine. To remedy this dilemma, Congressman Hudson has authored H.R. 4365, the Protecting Patient Access to Emergency Medications Act. This legislation will clarify that the current practice of physician Medical Directors overseeing care provided by paramedics and other emergency medical service practitioners via "standing orders" is statutorily allowed and protected. The use of "standing orders" is necessary so that physician Medical Directors can establish these pre-set protocols which emergency medical service practitioners follow in delivering emergency medical care. In the absence of standing orders, patients would not have access to the time-sensitive and potentially lifesaving interventions they so desperately need. H.R. 4365 ensures patients will continue to receive these vital medications by: • Codifying the practice of standing orders by a physician Medical Director for the administration and delivery of controlled substances, maintaining physician oversight of medical decisions, while, • Making the EMS Agency liable for the receiving, storing and tracking of controlled substances, similar to current procedure at hospitals. This legislation is endorsed by: Air Medical Physician Association, American Academy of Emergency Medicine, American Academy of Pediatrics, The American Ambulance Association, American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, American College of Emergency Physicians, Association of Air Medical Services, Association of Critical Care Transport, Emergency Nurses Association, Epilepsy Foundation, International Association of Fire Chiefs, International Association of Fire Fighters, National Association of EMS Physicians, National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, National Association of Police Organizations, and National Association of State EMS Officials.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Sewer fee protest letter This is the second of a two-part commentary.

BY GARY HURST y protest letter in opposition to the sewer fee increase proposed for adoption at the June 14, 2016, “Prop. 218/budget hearing” follows. I am opposed to the proposed sewer fee increases scheduled for hearing and adoption on 6/14/2016, and protest them on behalf of the property located at the address first written above. The proposed sewer charges surely violate at least four of the five requirements for new or increased fees and charges included in proposition 218 Section 6.(b). (1) Revenues derived from the fee of charge shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property related service. (2) Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed. (3) The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel. (4) No fee or charge may be imposed for service unless that service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question. Fees or charges based on potential or future use of a service are not permitted. Standby charges, whether characterized as charges or assessments, shall be classified as assessments and shall not be imposed without compliance with Section 4. All treated waste water is used for “agricultural irrigation, landscaping, or golf courses” to “offset” use of imported untreated water. “Agricultural irrigation” includes the Santa Maria spray fields used as grazing land. Treated waste water is used for the same purposes as imported untreated water, has the same inherent value, and must be charged at the same rate. RMWD does not charge users of treated waste water from its two waste water systems “the proportional

cost of the service,” and therefore charges residential users assessments that “exceed the proportional cost of service.” RMWD treated waste water charges are different for two competing golf courses, disproportionate to the cost of service, and inherently inequitable. Because costs of both potable and untreated water are co-mingled in RMWD's single water fund, potable water charges cannot be proportionate if untreated agricultural water charges are disproportionate. RMWD assigns all residential units one sewer Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) that is equal to about 200 gallons of effluent/day. This significantly exceeds the volume of metered potable water supplied to many residential units, especially many apartments, condominiums, and mobile homes. This “one size fits all” approach to residential sewer EDUs surely violates each of the requirements of proposition 218 Section 6.(b) quoted above. If residential sewer EDUs are not proportional, business and commercial sewer EDUs cannot be proportional. RMWD sewer connection fees include a computed replacement cost for the number of sewer EDUs assigned to each new connection, but RMWD charges existing connections only projected repair costs for the number of sewer EDUs assigned to each. This is inherently inequitable and surely violates the requirements of proposition 218 Section 6.(b). District overhead costs are not allocated to funds proportionally so both sewer connection and service fees surely violate each of the requirements of proposition 218 Section 6.(b) quoted above. In addition to violating Proposition 218 Section 6.(b), each objection stated above is also evidence of egregious accounting malpractice and/or malfeasance. Gary Hurst is a Ramona resident.

F  S  LTS S E It’s clear that installing solar and ‘Farming the Sun’ saves money. The most savings come when you own your system, and you will be surprised how low your system costs can be when you use LTS Solar Energy’s range of solar consulting and contracting services. “Plan your project carefully and consider all project approaches to get the lowest-cost system with minimal risks,” said LTS owner Larry Slominski, whose company can help you develop and construct your project, or perform the project for you on a turnkey basis. Headquartered in Ramona, LTS has more than 35 years experience in developing, designing and constructing solar power systems. The company specializes in ground-mount solar systems and has supported several local wineries and residential customers who have taken a ‘self-perform’ approach to going solar. These include Turtle Rock Ridge Vineyard and Winery, Highland Hills Winery and Castelli Family Vineyards. LTS has also supported large agricultural ranches and municipal water districts to install solar systems up to 1000 kW, including Valley Center MWD and Santa Margarita Water District. The company recently completed a turnkey 100 kW solar system project for Borrego Springs Water District at a price 18 percent below the nearest competition. Whether your approach is to buy the system directly, ﬁnance it, lease or ‘self-perform’ your project, you will save money,” Slominski said. “With our self-perform approach, the savings can be massive.” LTS works with owners to review electric bills, interconnection options (San Diego Gas & Electric service location and capacity), array locations and layout, equipment options and costs. Slominski and his team then review the conceptual design with the county or city to identify any challenges to obtaining a permit.

Once initial clearance is obtained, LTS prepares a set of drawings and the permit application, and carries the project through the permitting process with the client “pulling” the permit, in the case of a ‘self-perform’ option. Are you intimidated about handling some of the installation responsibilities yourself? Slominski says not to worry. “We assist the owner-builder in all the key areas of construction,” he said. “This includes equipment selection, procurement, array layout and orientation, foundations, structure erection, electrical connection and monitoring.” Slominski says if you have the skills to dig holes and trenches, measure distances and level, then you are capable of handling general installation tasks. “You should use a qualified electrician to make electrical connections and interconnect the system,” he said. “But most of the work is within reach for the average home or business owner.” Note that all the equipment remains covered by the manufacturer’s warranties, the same as if you bought the system from a turnkey contractor. And of course, LTS is able to handle all aspects of an installation if you choose to contract for installation. You will still save by buying your equipment directly. Budgetary costs for a 10 kWdc solar system under a ‘self-perform’ approach are around $22,500. After the 30 percent Federal Tax Credit, total costs are $15,750. The system will produce 15,000 kWh of energy annually, and at an estimated savings of $3,750/year (SDGE rate of $.25/kWh). This means the system pays back in less than five years. These are budgetary figures, and your system size and costs may change. But above all, consider your options. Give us a call, we can help you Farm the Sun.

Bike trip to raise funds for Alzheimer’s research McKee to ride in memory of his wife BY KAREN BRAINARD To honor the memory of his wife, Ramona resident Jon McKee is planning a trans-America bicycle ride to raise funds to find a cure for Alzheimer’s, the disease that took her life. Charlotte McKee, 83, died April 8 from complications of Alzheimer’s Disease, just 2-1/2 months before she and Jon would celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. “I wish to carry forward the hope she placed in Alzheimer’s San Diego for the cure through its sponsored research which she will not live to see,” McKee states in a brochure he had printed about the fundraiser that he is calling “Charlotte’s Ride.” “She had that faith and that hope,” he told the Sentinel. Every cent he raises from the ride will be donated for Alzheimer’s research, he said. For McKee, the fundraising ride was one that evolved after speaking with his wife’s hospice team. During the last three months of her life, Charlotte was under the care of hospice, he said, and one afternoon while she was sleeping, the team asked him how he will move on after her death. “I answered, ‘I think I’ll take myself for a road trip,’” he said, adding that he would visit friends along the way. As a cyclist who routinely biked to the top of Mt. Woodson, McKee soon thought, “Instead of a four-wheel road trip, how about a two-wheel road trip?” McKee set Yorktown, Va., as his destination. That is where his best friend and fellow helicopter pilot from

their days serving in Vietnam lives. He pored over bicycle maps and researched equipment. He asked Clark Cathcart, the owner of CC Cycles, formerly Kirk’s Bike Shop, to build him a heavy-duty touring bike. Then, he said, one Friday morning it hit him that he could do the ride in her honor and link up with Alzheimer’s San Diego, knowing it was dear to her heart. That evening she died, said McKee. Charlotte’s conviction was so strong that a cure be found, he said, that even when she was terribly weakened by the disease last fall, she requested to attend a Alzheimer’s San Diego-sponsored conference where researchers and pharmaceutical industry personnel presented their latest findings in the battle against the disease. When he called Alzheimer’s San Diego about his fundraising bike trip idea, McKee said, “They were immediately on board with it.” Recently, he spoke at an Alzheimer’s San Diego board meeting about his trip and his experience caring for a loved one with the disease. The tentative launch date for his cross country ride is May 20, between 10 and 11 a.m., from Alzheimer’s San Diego’s offices at 6632 Convoy Court in San Diego. Along his journey, he plans to pass through El Paso and Austin, Texas; Baton Rouge, La.; Natchez and Tupelo, Miss.; and Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky before reaching Yorktown Family Practice, the office of his friend, Dr. John Bryant, who treats Alzheimer’s patients. McKee, 70, said he will be “plastic camping,” otherwise known as “card camping,” using his credit card to stay in motels and dine in restaurants along the way. For more on his trip or to donate, visit www.alzsd.org/thirdparty. As of May 16, he had raised $10,769, about 43 percent of his goal.

Swarm of ‘killer’ bees attack Ramona man A swarm of Africanized “killer” bees attacked a Ramona man Saturday afternoon as he was mowing his lawn. Joe Minervini said he ran into his hay shed and then into his house to get away from the bees, but was stung 10 to 15 times and suffered localized swelling and itching. It was the second time in three years that he has been attacked by Africanized bees

that found a home in owl boxes on his property. “All they’re doing is defending their home,” said Minervini, explaining that they hear the vibration of the mower. “They send their soldiers out.” While he appreciates bees and owls, Minervini said he is not putting up any more owl boxes.

Bulldogs win league softball championship Seeded second in Open Division playoffs

BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's softball team concluded Valley League play with a 10-0 record to provide the Bulldogs with their third consecutive league championship. "The amount of runs that we scored shows how good our lineup is," said coach Kristina Wright. "I was definitely proud of them all year." A 9-1 victory May 13 at Fallbrook concluded league and regular-season play for Ramona, whose overall record for the 2016 regular season was 25-3. "We had a very good year," Wright said. Ramona's season was extended during the May 14 CIF playoff seeding and selection meeting. The Bulldogs were seeded second in the Open Division. "I think we that have enough talent to get us to the championship," Wright said. The May 18 game against Torrey Pines was played after this issue went to press. A Ramona win would give the Bulldogs a home game Saturday against the winner of the first-round contest between San Marcos and Carlsbad. Ramona had two road shutout wins May 4 at Mission Vista and May 6 at Orange Glen. The final score of the game at Mission Vista was 10-0. Hanah Bowen allowed one hit and no walks in the seven-inning game and struck out nine batters, and Sara

Whelehon had a double and a triple while driving in four runs. The mercy rule is applied if a team leads by at least 10 runs after five innings, and the 22-0 score after five innings at Orange Glen ended that game. Ten different Bulldogs scored at least one run against the Patriots while Alissa Hiener struck out nine Patriots batters and allowed

only two hits. May 10 was a rainout makeup date for Ramona, who hosted Rancho Buena Vista in a North County Tournament game. RBV had a final regular-season record of 20-8-1, and one of those losses was the 1-0 game May 10. SEE BULLDOGS, A18

Bulldogs share lead in Valley League standings BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s baseball team has its sights set on the Valley League championship. The team entered a three-game series against Oceanside with a 9-1 Valley League record while Oceanside brought a 10-0 league mark into the games with Ramona. Ramona won two of the three games against the Pirates to give both teams 11-2 league records with two games left to play. Since the Bulldogs won the majority of head-to-head games, Ramona would be the official league champion if the two teams are still tied for first place after Thursday’s games. “That just kind of put a cap on a tremendous turnaround by the boys. It was really neat to see,” said coach Dean Welch. Ramona entered league play with a 4-10 overall season record, and the success against Oceanside improved the Bulldogs’ overall mark to 15-12. The Bulldogs will close the regular season Thursday at

The Ramona win created a tie for first place in the standings. Oceanside regained first place with a 3-0 home victory May 12. “We just flat out got beat by a real good left-hander,” Welch said. Russell Grant struck out eight Ramona batters in six innings while limiting the Bulldogs to three hits.

Ruland captures tennis singles champion title Tristan Wall, who placed third in the league tournament. "They were playing really well," Darrough said. In the semifinals Rolling and Wall lost a 6-0, 6-4 match to their opponents who were seeded second, but they captured a 6-0, 6-0 victory in the match for third place. Five Valley League singles players and five Valley League doubles teams qualified for the CIF tournament. The quarterfinals losers vied for fifth place through two rounds of playoff games to 8 points. Ramona sophomore Mike Mazzola followed his quarterfinals loss with a one-game playoff win as did the Ramona doubles team of senior Alessio Macias and junior Chris Murgueia. Mazzola lost the game for fifth place by an 8-5 margin while Macias and Murgueia lost an 8-6 game whose winner earned the CIF tournament berth. Mazzola and Murgueia were first-year tennis players. "They improved considerably during the season just making it as far as they did," Darrough said.

BY JOE NAIMAN The CIF San Diego Section swim meet consisted of preliminary swimming heats May 12 at Granite Hills High School, diving May 13 at Mesa College, and swimming finals May 14 at Granite Hills, ending the season for most of the participants. Ramona High School senior Brandon Powell is one of three swimmers from each event who advanced to the state meet at Clovis West High School Friday and Saturday. Powell swam his 100-yard butterfly preliminary heat in 50.94 seconds, giving him the fourth seed for the final while breaking his five-day-old school record of 51.89 seconds set at the league meet May 7. In the San Diego Section championship race, his time of 50.19 broke the school record once again while placing third among Division II swimmers. "The really exciting thing about his swim is his third place position makes him eligible for the state meet," said coach Jolyn Yanez.

Lanes in the state meet are offered to the swimmers with the top three times for Division I and Division II combined. Although one Division I swimmer was faster, some state qualifiers opted instead for the Olympic trials in Omaha and Powell will close out his high school career at the state meet. Two Ramona school records were broken at the CIF finals. The 200 freestyle relay team of Powell, Trevor White, Spencer Schwegler and Ethan Blackburn had the seventh-place preliminaries time of 1:30.97 and then swam the championship race in 1:29.86 for sixth place. The finals time broke the 2004 school record of 1:29.98. "It was outstanding work by those gentleman. Each of them has really stepped up in a huge way," Yanez said. Ryan Tucker swam the 50 freestyle in 21.60 in 2004, so the previous 200 freestyle relay school record was one of the two oldest boys swim school records.

BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School sophomore Brandan Ruland ended the Valley League individual boys tennis tournament as the singles champion. The tournament was at the Fallbrook Tennis Club May 9-12. "Brandan won the league in singles very easily," said coach Rose Darrough. Ruland concluded singles play in the final with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Orange Glen senior Jaime Dominguez. "He's playing better than he was playing last year," Darrough said. "He's looking really good. He's worked on his serve. He hits the ball harder and he's a lot more consistent." Ruland, who was undefeated in his league sets last year, missed the 2015 league tournament due to a non-tennis injury. "Brandan is a heck of an athlete," Darrough said. All singles players and doubles tandems who reached the Valley League semifinal round qualified for the CIF individual tournament. Ramona also qualified the doubles team of seniors Kellen Rolling and

Golfers in CIF tournament

With a 215-234 victory, Ramona High’s boys varsity golf team secured a spot in the CIF San Diego section golf tournament May 17 and 19 at Admiral Baker Golf Course. Justin Graf was the medalist with a three-over-par 39 in the May 10 CIF play-in match against Santana High School at Carlton Oaks Golf Course. Thomas Andrews was one stroke behind Graf with a 40. Serop Matoian shot 43, Cameron Marshall, 45, and David Hall, 48. Keagan Fritz posted a non-scoring 49. While the team did not place well against other leagues in the North County Conference Tournament May 4 and 5, among players in the Valley League Graf tied for third place and Matoian took sixth place. In the 18-hole rounds at Twin Oaks and Arrowood golf courses, Graf shot 78 and 76, while Matoian carded 82 and 74.

Over Memorial Day weekend young baseball players from Southern California and their families will be showing up at Ramona Pony Baseball fields for an annual tradition. The 25th annual Ramona Baseball Invitational (RBI) will be held May 26-30. Competing over the four days will be teams from Ramona, El Cajon, Dana Point, Mira Mesa, Fallbrook, La Costa, Lakeside and other communities. Many visiting families will bring RVs or trailers so they can camp by the fields, and activities are planned for the evenings to keep all entertained. On Saturday evening, May 28, a Players Homerun Derby and a Moms Homerun Derby is scheduled. Sunday evening will feature an exhibition game for parents or those over 18. Chad Gilliland, Ramona Pony Baseball’s public relations director, said they will

have a signup sheet at RBI for fathers and mothers who want to compete. A manager will be chosen from the list of participants and teams will be created for the game, he said. “We are certain this will be entertaining and draw a crowd of kids telling their parents the same things they always hear — ‘get out in front of the ball,’ ‘turn and look,’ ‘keep your head in there.’ It should be fairly entertaining,” he said. Ramona Pony Baseball Fields is in Ramona Community Park off Earlham Street. For more information on the tournament, visit www.ramonabaseball.com. Ramona Girls Softball will not be hosting its annual Valley of the Sun Tournament this spring, as it traditionally has in the past, said board president Jeff Moody. RGS could not generate enough interest, he said, as many leagues wanted to stay by the coast where it is cooler.

A Ramona businesswoman is staging a golf tournament to benefit Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to work on projects that affect the health and safety of Ramona students and staff. The FORUS Golf Tournament will be at the San Vicente Resort & Golf Course on Friday, June 17. Golfers and sponsors are welcome. Check-in will be at 11:30 a.m., putting contest at noon, and shotgun start at 1 p.m. Coordinating the effort is Shelly Heimer, branch manager for Supreme Lending and the mother of three daughters who attend Ramona schools. Since attending a FORUS information meeting, the 1993 Ramona High School graduate has been a steady supporter of the independent group of Ramonans established after the defeat of the 2012 school bond. “FORUS provides a platform for me to give back to the teachers, staff and students,” she said. “I know that my money is going to an organization that really is nonprofit and is passionate about making a difference, too.” Heimer’s tournament goal is twofold: to raise awareness of the FORUS organization and its volunteers and to raise at least $10,000 for projects. Sponsorships are $125 each. Each hole sponsorship includes branding at a golf hole, a table and two chairs, and an option to add a promo item to the golfer bags. Each single-golfer registration is $100, or $375 for a foursome and includes a full round of golf, golf cart and lunch. Putting contest participation is $10. Each golfer will receive a swag bag at check-in. Suggested promotional items sponsors may contribute include pens, notepads, sunscreen, lip balm, golf balls, hats, Koozies and tumblers. Auction items for the silent auction also are being accepted. For sponsorships and registrations, contact Heimer at Shelly.Heimer@SupremeLending.com or 760-870-7730. Among FORUS projects are new water fountains, vandal-proof soap dispensers at the high schools and middle school, bathroom faucets, replacement batteries for AED units, roof repairs, hand dryers to eliminate paper towel use and abuse, and spearheading the donation of a HVAC unit at Ramona Elementary School. The group coordinates its efforts with the school district’s maintenance

nine and yielding four hits. All three Oceanside runs were scored in the fourth inning. “It was a good ballgame. We just had one bad inning defensively,” Welch said. The May 14 showdown was played on Ramona’s diamond, and an overcast morning contributed to a wet mound. “We had some tough mound conditions,” Welch said. “It was kind of sloppy at the beginning.” Oceanside had a 3-0 lead after the top of the first, but Ramona scored four runs in the bottom of the inning including three runs on Spacke’s homer to right field. The Pirates tied the game with a run in the top of the second. “We settled down,” Welch said. Ramona followed a third-inning run with five scores in the bottom of the fourth. “That was huge,” Welch said. Two Oceanside runs in the top of the fifth closed out scoring in the 10-6 Ramona victory. Spacke was relieved in the fifth by Travis Marinshaw. “Travis Marinshaw closed the door,” Welch said. Spacke’s offensive production in the May 14 game included three hits, three runs scored and five runs batted in.

advanced to the championship finals with the next eight fastest swimmers qualifying for the consolation race. Position points were given for the top 16 finishes. "Overall it was a good day. We got quite a few kids seeded," Yanez said of the preliminaries. Ramona's boys placed ninth among Division II schools with 98 points. Valhalla had 75 points for tenth place. "It was kind of exciting for me," Yanez said. "Valhalla has been a real powerhouse in the past." Ramona's girls were 27th among Division II teams and scored 1 point. Jessica Gallegos had a diving score of 166.30 on her six dives to place 16th. This year's divers were the first Ramona girls to compete off a diving board since 2006.

FROM BULLDOGS, A11 "They were really put to the test," Wright said of the game against the Longhorns. "They have a very good pitcher. It was something that we haven't seen in a while." Ramona returned to league play May 11 with a home game against Valley Center. The Senior Day ceremonies prior to the game honored Hiener, Whelehon, Haley Brinker and Ashley Dowers.

"The excitement was there," Wright said. The excitement also involved the league championship. Ramona accounted for Valley Center's only league loss before the May 11 game so a Jaguars win would have created a tie for the league championship while a Bulldogs victory meant an outright Ramona league title. "We knew that it was going to be a tough game," Wright said. Valley Center took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning, but Ramona was on

"It was huge," Yanez said of the diving point that avoided the shutout. The preliminaries ended the high school career of Ramona's two girls seniors: Carney Flinn and Katie Szakara. Powell is one of three Ramona boys seniors. The other two are Kyle McLoughlin and Schwegler. "My team's kind of young," Yanez said. "Just excited to see what will be coming up in the next few years." Blackburn, White, Dawson Webster and Powell comprised Ramona's 400 freestyle relay team. Their preliminaries time of 3:21.80 ranked eighth and their time of 3:19.74 in the finals gave them seventh place. The boys 200-yard medley relay team had a 12th-place time of 1:44.33 in the preliminaries and a tenth-place result of 1:46.60 in the finals. In both races Webster swam the backstroke, McLoughlin represented Ramona in

the desired end of the 7-4 final score. "Offensively I think the team did very well making adjustments," Wright said. That victory clinched the league championship for Ramona and allowed Wright to provide her bench players with more action against Fallbrook. "The girls that did get some playing time did a very good job," Wright said of the win over the Warriors. In 2013 the CIF transitioned from playoff divisions based on school enrollment to

the breaststroke, Jacob Powers swam two butterfly laps, and Schwegler anchored the race with the freestyle. "That was a substantial amount of points," Yanez said of the three relay teams reaching the finals. Powell and Blackburn made the consolation finals for the 50 freestyle. Powell had a preliminaries time of 22.30, which tied for ninth place, and finished 10th two days later with a finals time of 22.38. Blackburn was 16th in the preliminaries at 22.49 and his time of 22.69 in the finals placed 13th. White was 13th in the preliminaries and the finals of the 200 freestyle. He had times of 1:48.28 in his preliminaries heat and 1:49.92 in the consolation race. Cole Muse gave Ramona boys 2 diving points with a score of 168.20 points.

divisions based on competitive balance. A revision to the format delayed the split between the Open Division and Division I to the end of the regular season with the top eight Division I teams playing in the Open Division playoffs and the other Division I teams competing in the Division I post-season competition. "It's going to be a tough road for us," Wright said of playing in the Open Division. "It will be a good test for them. They're excited and ready to play."

NEWS BRIEFS Reducing waste meeting

As coaches hold a thank you banner, Ramona Pony League president Kat Schreiber reads a proclamation of thanks to Lori Webster, Ramona Food and Clothes Closet president, and Rosamund Breese, vice president.

Pony League thanks nonprofit for donation Ramona Pony League players, coaches and leaders gathered to thank Ramona Food and Clothes Closet representatives for the $5,000 donation the nonprofit gave the league this season. The donations allowed children to play who otherwise would not have been able to play for monetary reasons, and it allowed the league to lower the tuition overall to benefit Ramona and area families. Ramona Food and Clothes Closet’s mission is “to serve as a humanitarian organization providing emergency food, clothing and other resources to aid individuals and low-income families in Ramona, Santa Ysabel, Julian, Ranchita, Borrego Springs, Warner Springs and outlying rural areas.” It operates a thrift store at 773 Main St. and may be contacted at 760-789-4458.

The County of San Diego wants to hear from residents in the unincorporated areas about how to reduce waste and keep communities beautiful and thriving. The county will be holding meetings in Ramona, Fallbrook and Bonita. The Ramona meeting will be in the library, 1275 Main St. on Wednesday, May 25, from 6 to 7 p.m. For those who cannot attend, the county offers a survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/sandiegoco. Department of Public Works staff will use the ideas and information collected to create a draft trash-reduction plan for the unincorporated area that will be unveiled at a public workshop in October, and ultimately be considered by the County Board of Supervisors.

Book Sale

Paperbacks will be 10 cents each, hardcover books 25 cents each, and children’s books buy one get one free during Friends of Ramona Library’s monthly third-Saturday-of-the-month sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 21.

CalFresh Outreach

Some San Diego County residents are eligible for food assistance and might not know it, so the county aims to change that as it continues a variety of increased outreach efforts. May is CalFresh Awareness Month in California and the County Health and Human Services Agency and its community partners are reaching out in an effort to increase awareness with those who could benefit from extra help in eating nutritious food. CalFresh, formerly known as the food stamp program, is California’s federal food assistance program. For the first time, the county is using social media to increase awareness and reach potentially eligible residents. Messages on Twitter and Facebook are targeting college students, seniors and families that may be eligible for benefits. There are at least 290,000 county residents receiving CalFresh benefits. Information about CalFresh, including how to apply, is available at www.mybenefitscalwing.org or www.getcalfresh.org or by calling 2-1-1.

Two sword fighters go at it in a historically accurate display of tournament play.

Locals rally for fawn rescue center BY JESSICA KING Dozens flocked to the home of Ramona resident Terry Lockwood recently to raise money for a new fawn rescue center. In exchange, guests were treated to lunch with a side of up close animal experiences and medieval sword fighting demonstrations. Lockwood and Shawnie Williams run San Diego Fawn Rescue, the only group of its kind in San Diego County. Their hope is to open a second center in Alpine. Using Lockwood’s Oak Street property as a home base, the women take in fawns that have either been abandoned or injured or otherwise separated from their herds. Usually, they come in at 4 to 6 pounds and are nursed to health until they are 30 to 40 pounds and ready to fend for themselves. Fawn rescue is extremely tricky, said the women, noting that the high-stress animals can become easily dependent on handlers and so great care is taken not to bond to the animals. Fawn rescue is also tricky because federal wildlife laws dictate where the fawns can be re-introduced into the wild. Currently, fawns

rescued by Williams and Lockwood must be released north of the county. A second center in Alpine would be free to release fawns into the local wilderness. Although the California Wolf Center in Julian has already donated some materials, and man hours are being logged by volunteers, the group needs to raise about $5,000 to complete the center. In its relatively short tenure, the nonprofit San Diego Fawn Center rescued and released nine fawns back into the wild in 2014 and a few less in 2015. Last year, the center also reunited two fawns that were mistaken for abandoned by hikers. Williams said a lot of hikers unknowingly scoop up a fawn they see in a bush, believing the animal was abandoned by its mother, not realizing that deer often leave their babies in a bush and later return. In addition to fawns, Lockwood houses horses, various birds, tortoises and other rescued animals on her property. She also works with a group called Chivalry Today, which travels to schools to teach students about medieval falconry and sword fighting.

Members of San Diego-based Chivalry Today demonstrate the historical uses and techniques of sword fighting.

Property owner seeks rezone for town square, retail BY KAREN BRAINARD Jim Hagey, owner of approximately 22 acres behind Stater Bros. Shopping center, held an informal public meeting May 14 at Ramona Library, that drew about 15 people, to talk about his proposed plans to develop the property and to solicit ideas. On the property, bordered by Ramona, H, and 16th streets, Hagey would like to create a pre-1940s-style town square by Elliott Pond featuring restaurants with outdoor dining, a gazebo, picnic tables, and activities that

could include fishing, outdoor movies, art exhibits and exercise classes. To make this viable, Hagey said lenders told him retail would need to be developed on the southern portion to bring in potential customers for businesses in the town square, and that has caused concern for some neighbors. Most attending the meeting, announced on the Ramona Community Forum Facebook page, were neighbors of his property, he said. Hagey said his first step is seeking a rezone

to have his property included in the Ramona Village Center Form-Based Code boundaries. That would give him mixed use zoning for retail and residential, but also require a design that creates a walkable area and shields parking lots, and architectural, landscaping, signage and lighting elements that were created to complement a rural small town. The rezone has to be approved by the Ramona Community Planning Group. If it does, Hagey said he would have to go back to

the planning group for approval of the project. “If they don’t like our town square or think the retail will cause huge problems with neighbors, they’ll reject it,” he said. “The rezone will give us a shot at presenting a plan that meets their approval.” If he is not able to get the land rezoned, Hagey said he will likely sell it to a developer who would build residential, but would not be held to the form-based code design standards.

His passing is a bittersweet glimmer of beauty and the family would like to create a tribute of his death in an inspiring way. Rodger was a dreamer.

Ramona High School Cycle Dawgs, who won the Division 1 third place trophy for the season, will participate in state competition in Los Olivos May 21 and 22. “This year we have 11 racers qualified to go up against the Northern California leagues,” said head coach Robert Grace, adding that 800-plus mountain bike racers will vie for the state championship jerseys. Cycle Dawgs qualifying for the state race include: • Andrew Finley, junior varsity boy • Brayden Lessler, sophomore boy • Gwendalyn Gibson, varsity girl • Jaron Cappos, varsity boy • Joshua Failla, sophomore boy • Karson Basore, sophomore boy • Ryan McKinnon, JV boy • Sean Duffy, JV boy • Seth Levy, sophomore boy • Stassa Cappos, sophomore girl • Travis Wagner, JV boy On May 7, the Cycle Dawgs concluded a five-race series in Tehachapi in fifth place. The high desert winds, dry conditions and high altitude made for some tough conditions for all of the racers, but they raced with unstoppable determination, even with four flat tires, no back brake, rocky single track, 20-plus mph headwinds, and a couple of spills, noted Grace. The mountainous terrain was a challenging six-mile loop with 700 feet of elevation gain per lap: 24 miles for varsity boys (four laps); 18 miles for varsity girls and junior varsity boys (three laps), and 12 miles, sophomore/frosh boys and girls (two laps).

PATCHES,a

10-year-old Chihuahua mix, is a sweet older lady looking for a warm, comfy place to spend her golden years. This adorable girl was brought into our care when her owner entered hospice care and could no longer care for her. Patches wasn’t feeling too well when she ﬁrst arrived, but luckily her medical team was able to quickly get her feeling her best again and now she can’t wait to share her love with a new family! She loves to bury herself under soft blankets, gets along well with other dogs, and is very relaxed on leash. Patches is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside Campus, 2905 San Luis Rey Road.

Main Street, El Cajon, CA 92020, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on November 16, 2004, as Instrument No. 2004-1085814, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County, California, executed by MAXINE B. TUDOR, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of FINANCIAL FREEDOM SENIOR FUNDING CORPORATION, A SUBSIDIARY OF INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 12623 CASA AVENIDA, POWAY, CA 92064 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total

ated by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $377,785.74 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest

be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-6597766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05000530-11-1S.

FROM DAWGS, A22 Association Southern California championships race for Division 1, which has teams of 12 or more racers. This was the Cycle Dawgs’ second season racing in Division 1. The Ramona team began the season with 19 high school racers and its first middle school racer, Jacob Macias. Six girls raced this year, up from four last year. Haro Bikes provided team sponsorship — “really fast race bikes that helped our racers get to the podium,” noted Grace. The Cycle Dawgs earned four team trophies in Tehachapi: one first, one second and two thirds, based on the top eight scorers from each team. Leader jerseys went to Gwendalyn Gibson, in the varsity girls class; Stassa Cappos, sophomore girls; and Seth Levy, sophomore boys. The team coaches called these phenomenal wins. The top overall NICA SoCal championship winners over the five races: Sophomore Boys—First,

Seth Levy (champion); second, Brayden Lessler; third, Karson Basore. For the first time, one team dominated the podium. Varsity Boy—Third, Jaron Cappos, the only four-year team member this season. Varsity Girl—First, Gwendalyn Gibson. Season: Four wins, a second, and SoCal Girls Champion. Sophomore Girl—First, Stassa Cappos. Season: Three wins, and SoCal Soph Girls Champion. JV Boy—Sixth, Travis Wagner “My most favorite memory about this race was breaking away from the pack. I’ve been wanting that for a really long time,” said Levy. “My favorite memory from this season has to be working with my teammates every race. I feel like if my teammates and I work together, one of us can definitely get it done. On Saturday (May 7), I didn’t like the course, but I found the more I rode it, the more it grew on me. So in the end, I liked it a lot. I liked all the long single track climbs and downhills.” “This will be the last year

Planners work to improve intersections BY KAREN BRAINARD Solutions to improve line of sight for an intersection that was recently the scene of a fatality, and a review of a sustainable farm project comprised the bulk of the Ramona Community Planning Group’s May meeting. On April 7, Sharon Blodgett, 79, was killed in a collision while attempting to make a left turn from Green Haven Lane onto San Vicente Road in San Diego Country Estates. Blodgett was president of the homeowners association for San Vicente Country Estates Villas II, located by that intersection. Due to lack of parking spaces for the villas, vehicles are often parked along San Vicente Road and that impedes line of sight, say condominium residents. “I’m sorry that it takes a death to get this far, but we need change, folks,” said Jerry Lyness, who has assumed the role of HOA president. Lyness said there have been at least five accidents in that area in the past two years, including one a week after the fatality. Lyness presented the homeowners association board’s proposal to improve safety by addressing line of sight, parked vehicles and high traffic speeds on San Vicente Road. “I’ve watched this traffic grow in 17 years and it’s to the point where it’s crazy,” said Lyness, noting that such traffic and parking needs were probably not envisioned when the condominiums were built 43 years ago. The villas have two entrances, Green Haven West and Green Haven East. On San Vicente Road at the east entrance, the HOA proposes extending the “no parking” red painted curb 115 feet west of the center line, constructing a traffic turning movement for westbound San Vicente vehicles to turn left onto Green Haven Lane and construct a turn lane for vehicles leaving Green Haven to turn left. At the west entrance, the HOA proposes to extend the “no parking” curb 220 feet west and 200 feet east from the center line, install flashing yellow caution lights about 340 feet west of the entrance, and construct a westbound traffic merge lane. Between both entrances a dedicated parking only lane is also suggested. The 110-unit complex has 167 parking spaces, which include garages and carports,

said planner Jim Cooper, who went there to observe traffic and noted that tall shrubs by nearby Country Villa Road also obstruct line of sight. Lee Munsell, who handles the villas’ property management, said some concerns with the suggestions are that residents would park on the opposite side of San Vicente Road and cross the street, and with no parked cars traffic speeds could increase. A county traffic engineering manager said he will work with the groups on solutions but there should be agreement from all affected property owners. Planning group chair Jim Piva said they want something done, but want it done the right way. Planners unanimously agreed to table the item until the June 2 meeting. Piva, who is also president of the San Diego Country Estates Homeowners Association, said that board is working on putting a stoplight in front of the clubhouse to slow traffic speed. In other business, biologist Di Wu presented his plans for a sustainable agriculture project for his 20-acre property at 2005 Ramona St., at the intersection with Dye Road and next to Royal Vista Road, for which the county says he needs an administrative permit. Wu said the property formerly had a chicken and egg ranch but all buildings were demolished. He plans to use the land for free range pasture-raised animals and horticulture using organic fertilizer, possibly composting manure from nearby farms. Planner Donna Myers said the project affects about 12 families in the area that were sent letters from the county, but only had three days to comment due to timing of the mailing. She questioned what else is planned since he needs an administrative permit, and said there are vernal pools and Native American grinding stones on that land. Wu said he is only planning the sustainable farm project, as presented. “We’re approving what is written here,” said Piva, pointing to the project information from the county, and adding that if there are vernal pools, the county would know. Planners approved the administrative permit 14-1 with Myers opposed.

(StatePoint) Is your house in need of a seasonal overhaul? Get your home in shape with these easy tasks and upgrades, and enjoy the warmer months. • Top-to-bottom cleaning: In each room, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. Crumbs will inevitably fall from kitchen counters and dust will fly from fixtures, so clean your floors last so you don’t have to redo them later. In the kitchen, circle around the sink, starting at the right side of your stove and then move clockwise around the room. Stoves can be the dirtiest part of the kitchen, so ending there prevents the spread of grease and dirt. Finally, when it’s time to sweep, hold the broom with one hand on top of the handle and the other in the middle. Having a proper grip on the broom will make each stroke more effective. Ensure you don’t miss any dirt by sweeping from the outside in. Pulling dirt to the center of the room will make for easier pick-up. • Creative upgrades: After the garage, the kitchen is tied with the home office as the second most cluttered room in the house, according to a Moen survey. Get rid of clutter by updating features with those that create a “home” for items that live out in the open. For example, when selecting a faucet, choose one with style and function. A new kitchen sink, when chosen carefully, is another update that can reduce the appearance of clutter. • Color Your World: A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a room.
