Water rates will increase by just under 3 percent July 1, while sewer rates will rise by 3 percent for San Vicente plant customers and by 6 percent for those served by the Santa Maria plant. The Ramona Municipal Water District Board of Directors approved the new rates by a 3-0 vote with Director Rex Schildhouse opposing and Director Kit Kesinger absent. The district's $36 million fiscal year 2014-15 budget was approved 4-0. The June 24 votes followed a public hearing that day that drew 10 people and a June 23 evening

public budget presentation that attracted three residents. In presenting the proposed rates Monday night, RMWD Financial Services Director Richard Hannasch said, "We're very pleased this is much more of a moderate adjustment than we've seen over the past several years." Combined with the electrical charge to pump water from the Poway Pump Station, general treated water will increase 2.5 percent, from $5.51 to $5.65 per unit. A unit of water is about 748 gallons. Untreated water will see a 2.7 percent increase. Agricultural customers in the TSAWR discount program will

be charged 2.7 percent more for treated water and 2.9 percent for untreated water. The monthly water service fee, charged by meter size, will rise 2.9 percent. Using the scenario that an average family consumes 14 units of water every month, Hannasch said the increase would amount to about 6 cents per day or $1.79 per month. For customers of the San Vicente sewer plant, the 3 percent change means the annual charge will rise from $605.30 to $623.76. For Santa Maria customers, the yearly amount will go from $637.22 to $675.77.

• Arborist works to save oak trees that are dying in the region. A6

Capital replacement project funds in the new budget include $1.8 million for Santa Maria and $834,000 for San Vicente. Hannasch explained that the district was able to adjust the initially proposed not-to-exceed 6 percent water rate hike after receiving notice from the San Diego County Water Authority in May that its rate were going up less than anticipated. The water authority, Ramona's sole water supplier, has proposed rate increases of about 3 percent. "It's a significant achievement to hold the line as much as possible for our customers," Hannasch said.

Search and rescue efforts for Carl Salayer, the 67-year-old Ramona man who went missing early Tuesday morning, June 17, has turned into a missing persons case that detectives are investigating, said Lt. Hank Turner of the sheriff's Ramona station. Turner said on Monday they have no tips or leads. Salayer, who has Alzheimer’s disease and other medical conditions, is believed to have walked away from his home in the 17000 block of Handlebar Road between 2:30 and 6:30 a.m. June 17. He was discovered missing when family members with whom he lives woke that morning, said Turner. Salayer is 6 feet, 3 inches tall, 150 pounds, has blue eyes and is mostly bald with some gray hair and a gray moustache. It is believed he may have walked out only clad in underwear. The sheriff's department described Salayer as soft-spoken, hears well, but could attempt to hide from law enforce-

ment and residents. A command post was set up at Highland Valley and Handlebar roads with teams of search and rescue volunteers combing the area for several days, some by foot and some on horseback. Residents in the area were asked to thoroughly check their properties and all outbuildings. Tu r n er said the area was also CARL SALAYER checked by plane, and the sheriff's ASTREA unit used infrared. Border Patrol’s Search, Trauma, and Rescue Unit (BORSTAR) also participated. Turner said the groups searched "an incredibly large area" for five days. See MISSING, page A2

Ramona Unified School District trustees are poised to place a $40 million bond bid on the November ballot and approve a budget of nearly $50 million in a special session this evening. The meeting, open to the public, will begin at 6 in the Board Room of the Wilson Administrative Center, 720 Ninth St. During a workshop meeting June 16, trustees directed district administrators to present proposed bond language containing $32 million to pay off a 10-year-old loan and $8 million for modernization and repairs at school sites. If voters approve a proposed statewide bond measure anticipated to be on the November ballot, the dis-

trict may also qualify for matching funds for school modernization projects, administrators said. The afternoon workshop lasted about an hour and 40 minutes. Among topics discussed were a bond oversight committee, whether to pay all or part of the loan with a prospective bond, how many projects to include and whether to prioritize them, and how many bond issuances to call for and how that could affect interest rates. "I think we need to pay off the COP and get this behind us," said trustee Kim Lasley, referring to the district loan, called a certificate of deposit, or COP. "It's been hanging on forever...I think it's catch-up time." See TRUSTEES, page A2

Hams host Field Day Amateur radio operators, nicknamed “hams,” have long communicated with each other without the benefit of the Internet, cell phone towers or other infrastructure. Those wondering how they do it have their chance. Ramona Outback Amateur Radio Society (ROARS) will host Field Day, a 24-hour event beginning Saturday, June 28. The mission is national. All club members aim to talk to as many people around the world as possible, using various forms of radio equipment. The public is invited to

join the experienced radio operators. A “GOTA” station — Get on the Air — will be set up so that those with new licenses, or even adults or children without licenses, can understand what talking over the airwaves is all about. “One of our goals is for the public to learn what we do, why we do it, and how we do it, so having someone try out ham radio for the first time is fun for everyone,” said Richard Elling, ROARS member.

Resident's right-turn lane request short on support By KAREN BRAINARD A resident's request to ask Caltrans to extend the state Route 67 right turn lane onto Dye Road by beginning it at Mussey Grade Road did not receive enough support from the Ramona Community Planning Group. Joe Minervini told planners this month that he was suggesting it "because I guess if you live in the Estates, or where I do on the south side of town off of Dye Road, and you're coming up the hill at 5 in the evening, you want to get home as quickly as possible."

Minervini presented planners with his drawing of SR-67's intersections with Mussey Grade and Dye roads, noting that the existing right turn lane is 560 feet and Caltrans' planned improvements will extend the turn lane an additional 800 feet. Minervini's proposal would add another 1,050 feet, making it a nearly half-mile right turn lane. Mussey Grade Road resident Rick Morgal and some of the planners voiced concerns that such a change could make it difficult to turn on Mussey Grade, and could create a weaving lane where drivers would use it to

weave in and out to pass cars. Chair Jim Piva noted that Caltrans is nearly done with its design for improvements at that intersection, expected to start in 2015, and that a Caltrans employee unofficially told him a right turn lane from Mussey Grade to Dye Road would not happen. Planner Jim Cooper, however, said the topic just keeps "bubbling." "Solve it, put it to bed, get it off of the docket," Cooper said, suggesting the planning group send a request letter and Caltrans can always say no.

Planner Richard Tomlinson made a motion to send a letter to Caltrans for an official answer, but his colleague Dennis Sprong said, "My concern is even further requests of a project that is at this stage will send some kind of wave to slow the project down." Tomlinson's motion failed 4-6 with Torry Brean, Piva, Sprong, Kristi Mansolf, Scotty Ensign and Matt Deskovick opposing.

Brown signs $156 billion state budget By JAMES R. RIFFEL City News Service Gov. Jerry Brown signed California's $156 billion budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year at a ceremony Friday in San Diego. Brown described the spending plan as "not perfect" but a sign of California's fiscal progress over the past few years. "What this budget shows is balance, paying down debts, putting almost $10 billion into public schools, creating a rainy day fund and starting to really tie up and shore up the teachers' retirement fund," Brown said. He said it also was a sign that the state government was working, and that the majority could actually govern, with cooperation from the minority party. The visit to San Diego was the third during the budget cycle for Brown, who was in town on the day his budget proposal was released in January, and last month when he issued revisions. He said he wanted to sign the budget in San Diego out of respect for Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, who took over leadership of the Legislature's lower chamber last month. The state spending plan for the fiscal year starting July 1 includes

a $1.6 billion Rainy Day Fund and $142 million for drought-response measures such as firefighting, water management, wildlife preservation and food assistance. Last month, the governor reached an agreement with the Legislature on the reserve fund that would: • require the state to bank large increases in capital gains revenues, which are the most volatile form of tax income; • require supplemental payments to accelerate the payoff of the debts and liabilities; • raise the dollar amount of the rainy day fund to 10 percent of the general fund revenue; • allow withdrawals to be made from the fund when needed during recessions, within prescribed limits; and • create a reserve account for education to avoid future funding cuts. He said the fund would be untouchable while he was in office until it was needed due to poor economic conditions. Additional agreements with legislative leaders last week will add at least $180 million in overtime pay for healthcare workers who provide care to the disabled and elderly in their homes, direct a quarter of cap-and-trade revenue toward construction of a high-speed

School budget, bond

The other three trustees at the meeting agreed, as did Superintendent Robert Graeff and Assistant Superintendent David Ostermann. Trustee John Rajcic was absent. "If David and I could write the bond any way we could and have it pass, we would pay off every penny of that COP tomorrow, but there doesn't seen to be support from the voters," said Graeff, referring to a consultant's survey of 400 likely voters. "Maybe the voters' opinion could be changed." The survey may not reflect the true opinion of those surveyed, trustees Rodger Dohm and Bob Stoody said, noting some questions not asked and information not supplied to those questioned in the telephone survey.

rail line, and expand preschool opportunities for economically disadvantaged children. "No budget is perfect, and no one got everything that they wanted," Atkins said. "But with this budget, that ensures stability and expands opportunity, we have a chance to put the great recession even further behind us." The general fund, for discretionary spending, will be almost $108 billion. Brown's Republican opponent in the November election, former Treasury Department official Neel Kashkari, said the budget is a "giveaway for special interests paid for by working families," despite the "nation's highest poverty rate" and a "failing" education system. "Higher gas prices for his pet High Speed Rail project, a last minute tax break for a favored industry and micro-managing local school spending from Sacramento — Brown's budget priorities represent more of the same back-room dealing from Sacramento," Kashkari said. "Unfortunately for the millions of workers struggling to find good jobs, kids stuck in failing schools and families trying to make ends meet, this budget does nothing to provide a better future through economic opportunity for all," said Kashkari.

From page A1

Patrick Meskell with Edward Jones Investments agreed. "I've got to read these questions a few times to understand exactly what it's saying," he said.

A previous school board borrowed $25 million as a certificate of participation (COP) after voters rejected a bond bid for that amount. With the COP came about $34 million in

state money. At the time, trustees believed developer fees would cover loan repayments. Since then, student enrollment has dropped and anticipated growth did not occur.

Missing

"At this point it's a head-scratcher," he said. On Friday and Saturday, the search turned to recovery mode with the use of cadaver dogs, according to the lieutenant. If Salayer had remained in that area, Turner said, "There's no way he'd survive without his medications." However, he added, it's possible that Salayer could be alive if he is somewhere else. "Anything's possible," said Turner. Salayer had walked away from his house before, Turner said, but always when family members were awake and immediately knew he was missing. Describing the family as distraught, Turner said, "Our hearts go out to the family." He asked that anyone who believes they see Salayer, or see or smell a body, to call the sheriff's department at 858-565-5200. During the search efforts last week, Jan Caldwell, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department public affairs director, credited Ramona for its support. “The community has been fabulous," she said.

ing into the Mussey Grade Road travel lane. The tree is in the public right of way, 1,000 feet south of Dos Picos Park Road. Options suggested were road improvements or realignment, and cautionary signage. Ensign, planning group vice chair, said trash trucks are clipping the side of the tree. Reluctance to remove the tree and destroy the canopy of branches over Mussey Grade Road, and consideration that the road has historic designation, led planners to seek options other than removal. •Planners agreed to recommend removal of a 25- to 30-year-old eucalyptus tree with a three-inch diameter in the public right of way on Arena Drive. The tree's roots are damaging the curb and gutter. •Planners approved a Verizon 35-foot cell tower that may look like a water tank at 15980 Snuz Mountain Road off Dos Picos Park Road.

Valero canopy structurally safe; owner anxious to begin repairs By KAREN BRAINARD After hearing from an insurance agent on June 18, the owner of the Valero gas station at 1210 Main St. said he is hopeful that he can finally fix the station's metal canopy that was struck by a large truck about two months ago. Station owner Mark Tomika expressed frustration over multiple delays with the insurance company representing the utility truck that caused the damage. After taking steps to try to push the process along quicker, Tomika said he was told last Wednesday that an insurance check should be issued soon. "I have everything ready," Tomika said in regards to initiating repairs. Although the towering canopy over the gas pumps stands lopsided and leans on one end, it does not pose a public safety threat, according to Ramona Fire Marshal Steve Foster. Foster said he had concerns about the leaning canopy and called a county

structural engineer to examine it. "They say it's structurally sound," Foster said. Still, Tomika said he doesn't like the look of it, and the damaged canopy has caused his business to drop about 40 percent. "They hurt my business," he said. Not only has it affected his gas sales, but also store sales as gas customers often come in to purchase other items, he noted. According to Tomika, the canopy was damaged when the driver of a utility truck did not realize the boom on top was still partially extended and it hit the canopy's roof. The damage is estimated at $100,000, he said, and the entire canopy may have to be replaced. Tomika said some of the delays with the insurance company possibly were related to the rash of wildfires that occurred in the county the week of May 12, and may have caused a disruption in claims processing.

Young adult faces sentencing for possessing heroin for sale By NEAL PUTNAM Jeremy Adam Scherff, 21, of Ramona, will be sentenced July 1 after he pleaded guilty to possessing heroin for sale. Court records indicate that the prosecutor will not be seeking a prison term, but rather a sentence that could include local jail and possible release to a drug treatment program. The maximum sentence is four years in prison. El Cajon Superior Court Judge Laura Halgren accepted Scherff’s guilty plea last month. He was arrested Feb. 19 by sheriff’s deputies following surveillance of Scherff’s home in the 1500 block of Wilson Road. Scherff was alleged to

have made a sale of heroin at 5:45 p.m. in front of his home. On April 14, 2013, Scherff was arrested for being under the influence of heroin. He pleaded guilty to the offense and was granted probation. Scherff remains in the central jail without bail. Another Ramona resident, Elizabeth Reed, 19, was sentenced June 10 to one year in jail and placed on three years probation after pleading guilty to possession of heroin. She received credits of 181 days in jail. Reed also appeared before Halgren, who allowed her to be released from jail into a drug treatment program if a bed was available. Reed was

arrested Feb. 21, and has since been released into the program, according to court records. Reed was fined $1,374 and was ordered to start making payments of $35 per month starting two months after she leaves the residential rehab program. Jason William McDivitt, 20, of Ramona, has been sentenced to 25 days he has already served in jail after pleading guilty to possession of narcotics paraphernalia and child endangerment. McDivitt was also arrested Feb. 21 by deputies after his residence in the 1100 block of Ramona Street was searched. El Cajon Superior Court Judge Evan Kirvin placed him on three years probation. The court cases of all three people were prosecuted separately although information from one case led to the arrests of others. Deputies seized 7.2 grams of heroin, .2 grams of methamphetamine, and $1,080 in cash. PL ED SECO ND VOT

Montecito Ranch developer wants to delay some road improvements By KAREN BRAINARD Still hoping to have a ďŹ nal map approved in a year, the developer of Montecito Ranch expects revisions to his tentative map will be considered by the county Planning Commission this summer. Consultant Chris Brown, who is working with developer Bruce Tabb, said the timing mostly depends on county staff completing the necessary reports to docket for the commissioners. Tabb’s latest revisions involved changing the timeline for required road improvements, but his request did not garner enough votes from the Ramona Community Planning Group in May. With eight votes needed, the motion to approve the revised timeline failed 7-2 with Donna Myers and

Kevin Wallace opposing. Paul Stykel recused himself and ďŹ ve members were absent: Barbara Jensen, Matt Deskovick, Richard Tomlinson, Chad Anderson and Jim Cooper. In the motion that failed was the group’s Transportation and Trails (T&T) Subcommittee’s recommendation that prior to construction the developer give a “fair shareâ€? contribution to adding a right-turn lane on Montecito Road at Main Street. Brown said Tabb would agree to do that. The planning group’s vote is advisory and will be submitted with planners’ comments when the revised map goes to the county Planning Commission. Montecito Ranch is a proposed 935.2-acre residential development south of State Route 78,

west of Ash Street, and north of Montecito Way, Summer Glen and Cedar Street. Plans call for 417 single-family homes, an 8.3-acre active park, 11.9-acre historic park and 571.2 acres of biological open space. To lessen the trafďŹ c impacts in Ramona, the developer is required to improve several streets and intersections before occupancy of the ďŹ rst house. Representing Montecito Ranch, Brown said they are not asking for a change in mitigation, just in the timing. “We’re putting in the mitigation when the impacts occur,â€? said Brown. Some of those trafďŹ c impacts are estimated to occur with occupancy of the 153rd house. Planner Carl Hickman, chair of the T&T subcommittee, further explained

County approves rezone of 348 acres near Montecito Ranch By JOE NAIMAN San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the rezone to allow 36 parcels on the Teyssier family's 348-acre property in northern Ramona. Approval on June 18 changes the land use designation for 22 legal parcels from Rural Lands 40 (one dwelling unit per 40 acres) to Semi-Rural 4 (one dwelling unit per four acres) and the minimum lot size for eight of the parcels from eight acres to four acres. The property will retain its A70 Limited Agriculture zoning. "Just pleased that we have the recommended approval," said Leonard Teyssier. The county updated its general plan in August 2011, agreeing to hear propertyspeciďŹ c requests for changes. Following the hearings the supervisors directed county staff to process 47 property-speciďŹ c requests as part of general plan amendments. The Teyssier property and three other properties whose rezones were approved June 18 were considered in the "very low complexity" category. "These are in the very minor category of the changes," said Supervisor Dianne Jacob. The adoption of the general plan also called for periodical "clean-up" actions. An addendum to the Environmental Impact Report rather than a new EIR was allowed for the four rezones due to the degree of consistency with the general plan, previous analysis of the proposed rezones and land use changes, and community support, stated a county report. In May 2013, Ramona Community Planning Group voted 12-0, with Matt Deskovick abstaining and two members absent, to recommend that the Teyssier property be rezoned. "It's deďŹ nitely a cleanup," Jacob said.

"We were very careful in using a consistent methodology in determining consistency with general plan policies," said county Department of Planning and Development Services Director Mark Wardlaw. The Teyssier property is adjacent to state Route 78 and nearly two miles north of the Ramona Village area. A tenative subdivision map was approved in March 2006. The map is scheduled to expire in March 2016, although an extension may be granted and completion of the infrastructure will ensure that the map is not reversed in the absence of boundary adjustments. The RL-40 designation is not slopedependent. The SR-4 designation allows one dwelling unit per four acres in areas with less than 25 percent slope, one dwelling unit per eight acres if the slope is between 25 and 50 percent, and one dwelling unit per 16 acres if the slope exceeds 50 percent. The change in density would allow an increase from 27 to 36 units. Approximately 2,500 acres of land northeast of the Teyssier parcels have SR-4 designations. The Montecito Ranch SpeciďŹ c Plan is to the southeast and has an overall density similar to SR-2 and a density closer to SR-1 in the area adjacent to the Teyssier land. On March 7, county planning commissioners recommended approval of the Teyssier rezone. The other three changes were in Chihuahua Valley, ElďŹ n Forest and Spring Valley. "In these four cases it makes sense for me to do this," said Supervisor Dave Roberts. "I do appreciate the staff going through these one by one," said Supervisor Bill Horn.

the proposed process: “As the project moves along incrementally, the people who move into the homes, etc., these improvements or fair share contributions will happen accordingly, based on the occupancy of the homes,â€? said Hickman. Proposed timeline revisions also call for the following to be accomplished before occupancy of the ďŹ rst house: fair share contribution paid toward the intersection of state Route 67 and Highland Valley/Dye roads, which Caltrans will be improving; paving a por-

tion of Montecito Ranch Road; and signalizing the intersection of Ash Street and state Route 78/Pine Street. Proposed to be delayed until the 35th house are improvements at the intersection of SR-78/Pine Street and SR-67/Main Street. Those call for widening and re-striping the northern leg of SR-78 to provide a southbound to westbound right turn/ through lane or southbound to eastbound dedicated left-turn lane onto SR-67. Proposed to be delayed until the 153rd house are

improvements to Montecito Way, Ash Street, additional sections of Montecito Ranch Road, and the intersection of Montecito Road and Montecito Way — creating rightturn and left-turn lanes on southbound Montecito Way and a westbound to northbound right turn lane on Montecito Road. In January, Brown brought a revised map with a reduction in grading and blasting to the planning group, which approved it by a 10-2 vote. Brown said the lot sizes, density and all amenities will remain the same.

Kassandra MacPherson’s passion is medicine Editor’s Note: This is one in the Sentinel’s “Where Are They Now?� series about Ramona graduates — where they are and what they are doing. By KAREN BRAINARD Things happen for a reason, said Kassandra “Kassie� MacPherson, believing there was a reason she should become a physician assistant. “If it was going to happen, the

timing couldn’t have been better,� said the 2001 Ramona High School graduate. The daughter of Leticia and Thomas MacPherson of Ramona knew at a young age she would go into the medical field. “I am pretty sure there are home videos with me stating at 3 years old that I was going to be a baby doctor,� she said. Upon graduating from Ramona High, MacPherson attended University of California San Di-

ego where she majored in biology. Her senior year she put her name in for “Job Seeker of the Week� at the UCSD grad center and was contacted by a biotech company. The company wanted her to be a scientist. “I didn’t even know what a scientist does,� she said. The company set up an internship for her and hired her full time after she graduated. She worked in the biotech field for four years before deciding it

wasn’t the career path she wanted to follow. She pondered medical school, but, realizing that would be four years plus another year for residency, she instead looked into patient care and the physician assistant program. Except for surgery, MacPherson said physician assistants “can pretty much do everything the doctor can.� “You can jump around to

whatever field or interest you want to go to,” she noted. That flexibility appealed to her. So did the patient care. “You get more time with a patient when you are a PA,” she explained. MacPherson attended Loma Linda University, where she said a lot is crammed into a two-year program, and graduated with honors. “It’s definitely a fast track,” she said. “It was a lot of work, but it was worth it.” Although her family had always been healthy, shortly after she became a physician assistant several medical issues arose. A year after she graduated, MacPherson said her grandfather was diagnosed with leukemia, and then her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. That was followed by her father, who had a back injury from his firefighting

days, experiencing back issues, and her grandmother falling and suffering a brain bleed. MacPherson is thankful she could be there for her family and help them through their medical care. “It’s really been a blessing. It’s just been a whirlwind ever since I got out of school,” she said. Serving as caregiver after surgeries, MacPherson also helped family members with medication and said she was like an on-call doctor, answering their questions and trying to use laymen’s terms to explain what was happening. “I’m really fortunate to be in that position,” she said. “I’m very happy to be able to do that for them.” While her mother and grandmother are doing better, MacPherson said her father will probably need another surgery.

MacPherson, who is planning her wedding in November, lives in Scripps Ranch and works at an urgent care in Carlsbad and Temecula and at a family practice in La Jolla. “For now I like the general aspect,” she said, noting every day is different. In the future she may move into a specialty. “I don’t want to be a jack-of-all trades. I want to be a master at one,” she explained.

Ramona Unified School District's Summer Band Program, open to all incoming fourth- through eighth-graders, will start Monday, July 14, and conclude Friday, July 25, at 6:30 p.m on the Olive Peirce Middle School campus. The concert follows one week of intensive tutor training and two weeks of summer band practice, said teacher Karl Lampe. The program will be at the middle school, 1521 Hanson Lane. No previous musical experience is required and there are a limited number of instruments that can be loaned to students participating, said Lampe. Three sessions are available to students of all abilities: a beginning

session for those students with no experience, an intermediate session for students with one or two years of wind band experience, and an advanced session for students with three or more years of experience. A limited number of spots are open for the beginning and intermediate sessions. The summer program focuses on teaching beginners flute, clarinet, trumpet and trombone. Percussion and bass guitar is also taught at the beginning level. The concert is preceded by a barbecue picnic open to the public. The barbecue is a fundraiser for the elementary and middle school band programs in Ramona.

Advanced tickets for the picnic may be purchased at the middle school starting July 14 at 8:30 a.m. in the band room. Tickets also may be purchased at the picnic the evening of the concert. All funds raised will be used to purchase and maintain instruments, which are provided to band students free of charge while they are participating in the band program. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated, said Lampe, and the band booster club continues to work toward the goal of $3,200 to replace aging instruments. For more information, or to make a donation, contact Lampe at 858472-4185 or krlampe@ yahoo.com.

Editorial

Trustees do what voters elected them to do — make difficult decisions Kudos to Ramona Unified School District trustees. During their workshop meeting to discuss the make-up of a bond measure for the November ballot, they didn't fall for "the more we ask for the more we'll get in matching funds from the state" that was a sweetener when a previous board borrowed $25 million a decade ago. They also decided they want that loan, called a certificate of participation (COP), paid off so the district and the community can proceed with what school districts should be doing — educating children. This evening, June 26, they'll be voting on language for a $40 million bond bid. Of that, $32 million will pay off the COP and $8 million will be for modernization and repair projects at the schools. The potential exists for the $8 million to be more than doubled if three things happen: voters approve a statewide bond expected to be on the November ballot, Ramona voters approve the Ramona school bond bid, and the state approves Ramona's application for matching funds. That's a lot of ifs, but that's the way elections, applications and life goes, isn't it? It behooves us, the Ramona community, to stay informed so our votes are based on fact, not hearsay. We elected the five people sitting on the school board. They've faced critical times the past few years, and not everyone agrees with every decision they made. Unlike two years ago, when the district followed its bond consultant's advice with few questions, the trustees have asked questions, listened to the community and come to a conclusion that they are expected to vote on tonight. Whatever happens in November, we laud them for including paying off the loan in their November bond bid. Three of them are up for re-election and they know not everyone agrees with this approach, so the decision likely wasn't an easy one.

Guest Commentary

More public involvement in education is necessary By JOHN RAJCIC People throughout the land must get more fully involved in education. The California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) has an unfunded liability of around $70 billion. To remedy the situation, the taxpayers' contribution to the fund will increase from 8.25 percent to 19.01 percent in seven years. The state contribution will also increase. Here are some examples of retirements currently paid to "educators": William Habermehl, Orange County Office of Education, $339,319.75; Peter Schiff, Ramona, Superintendent of Schools, $175,512.96; and Rudy Castruita, San Diego County Superintendent of Schools, $261,603.96. Rudy's salary as many others was "spiked" so he receives more money after retirement than before. The state Legislature has plenary power over education and must change this. The STRS is a defined benefit program that is basically guaranteed by the taxpayers of California. It may require an amendment to the state Constitution to change this.

What follows is a direct quote from a letter I received from a former school superintendent and very successful entrepreneur: "John, you're right! To have a robust private sector in the K-12 scheme of things and equip parents with a voucher for each child the FREE MARKET (America's proudest invention) could then settle the issue of quality and excellence in a hurry. I don't believe in a complete privatization of the K-12 system, just a healthy mix of options like we have in our post secondary system with much more creative student groupings. My oh my the agrarian based collection of 2-4000 students in a central warehouse makes no sense in this day and age. It will take huge efforts to deconstruct our current moribund, unionized, over regulated and radically under performing public education program. The majority of eager stakeholders in the current system seem to be mostly adults — marginal teachers, football coaches, bloated administration, union See COMMENTARY, RAJCIC page B5

Commentary, Rajcic

leaders, insecure upwardly aspiring parents and ambitious board and PTA officers and various other parasites who profit when kids are warehoused in large numbers. "With our current connectivity and technology coupled with great teachers we should be experiencing a golden age in K-12 education. We have the tools, the resources and the need. It seems we just lack the will to amputate the old ways which hurt children and install new innovative, child centered delivery systems which would move our kids into a competitive posture with the emerging nations such as China and India. 180 days in groups of 3,000 with many marginal teachers being led by status quo bureaucrats will never get the job done. I believe that the current unionized, 180 day, top down program delivered in a myriad of 30-1 settings on a large campus with 20-minute lunches and five minute passing periods will never be able to provide our students a competitive education.

From page B4

"Yes the CA decision to limit tenure is a good first step. Maybe just maybe this will lead to a major breakthrough! "Always good chatting with you, Gordon........ "PS. This decision may be the start of teachers actually moving into a true profession. I hope the bright ones will work with the legislature to set up peer controlled license review board. Like medicine and law, a board of professional educators should have the power to discipline and ratify termination of positions and/or licenses of professional educators. This may help the gifted one SOAR!" The irony of all this is our children and grandchildren received a good education in the public schools; however, times are rapidly changing. Those who do not like change will like obsolescence even less. John Rajcic, a Ramona resident and school board member, stresses that this is his opinion as an individual and he is not representing the school board.

Ramona Rotary’s July 4th Family Picnic & Fireworks

T

he annual community event turns 22 this year, thanks to the support of individuals, families, businesses and organizations donating everything from change out of their pockets to generous checks. In 1993, two Rotarians convinced the entire club it could be done, that Ramonans shouldn't have to travel out of town to enjoy Independence Day celebrations with fireworks. They were confident the town would support it — and they were right.

The family event attracts thousands to the fields behind Olive Peirce Middle School as well as to the surrounding area where gatherings are held and the fireworks are visible. The old-fashioned, community-spirited celebration from 5 to 9:30 p.m. brings the town together for food, games, family activities, music, and the grand finale — the 20-minute skyshow synchronized to music on KYXY 96.5FM Radio. So turn those radios on at 9 p.m. on July 4 and enjoy the show that Ramona

made happen. The Ramona Rotary Club and other volunteers thank everyone who donated or contributed in any way to this year's celebration. As of early this week, $19,278 of the $25,000 needed to stage the fireworks event had been donated, reports Pete Schiff, Rotarian who chairs the event. Collections continue in businesses throughout town, and Rotarians will be in front of Albertsons, Stater Bros. and Kmart again this Saturday accepting donations.

amona Sentinel

In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.

Donations may be mailed to Ramona Rotary Club, P.O. Box 276, Ramona, CA 92065, with checks payable to Ramona Rotary Fourth of July. The free fireworks event is held behind Olive Peirce Middle School, 1521 Hanson Lane, and includes food and non-food vendors, games, music and children's activities. Ramona High School's Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps will present the colors, and Allie McCune of Ramona will sing the national anthem.

Leave the fireworks to the July 4th Pet Safety Tips professionals, says sheriff works or explosives. Illegal fireworks include sky rockets, bottle rockets, roman candles, aerial shells, firecrackers and other items that explode, go up in the air or move about the ground in an uncontrollable fashion. Possessing and/or using fireworks could result in a fine of up to $50,000 and up to one year in jail. Bomb and arson officials also advise against launching sky or paper lanterns, noting the lack

of control of where the lantern lands, posing a high fire risk. More fires are reported on July 4 than any other day of the year, says the National Fire Protection Association. Dry conditions elevate the risk and even small sparks created by fireworks and paper lanterns can lead to grass and brush fires, which can spread rapidly. Leave fireworks to the professionals, says the sheriff.

ED FIRST VOT PL

E

ously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays. •If your pet seeks comfort in a bath tub, under a bed or other small space, let him or her. If the space is safe and it makes the pet feel more secure, let it be. •Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a chain. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn’t leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death. •Make sure your pets are wearing identification tags so that if they do become lost, they can be returned promptly. Here’s to you and your pet/s having a happy and safe Independence Day!

The fast-moving wildfires fanned by strong winds in May showed how vulnerable San Diego County is to wildfires this year, says the sheriff's department. With Fourth of July a week away, the sheriff's Bomb/Arson Unit reminds residents it's illegal to possess and use fireworks in the county. It's also illegal to transport fireworks from elsewhere into the county or to make homemade fire-

The Fourth of July is one of the most stressful and potentially dangerous times of the year for pets. While you and your family, friends, and neighbors are celebrating the holiday with fireworks, pets are finding these festive activities anything but celebratory. •Do not take your pet to fireworks displays. •Keep your pets in your home in a comfortable and quiet area with the shades drawn. If your pet is crate trained, then his crate is a great choice. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure that you’ve removed any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed. Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep your pet company while you’re attending Fourth of July picnics, parades, and other celebrations. •If you know that your pet is seri-

RHS 2014 Athletes of Year Tanner 'T-Bone' Williams By BILL TAMBURRINO Tanner 'T-Bone' Williams is versatile, intelligent, talented, strong and fast, and he is the 2014 Ramona High School Male Athlete of the Year. Williams got his nickname, T-Bone, because he and another player on his middle school basketball team had the same name. “Coach Boykins didn’t know what to do," explained Williams. "If he said 'Tanner,' we both responded. If he said 'Williams,' we both responded. So he asked my dad if I had a nickname. My dad said that he liked to call me T-Bone, so in sports and at Ramona High I have been T-Bone.”

Williams had been the leading tackler on the varsity football team his junior year as a linebacker.

Statistics don’t tell half the story about Kailey Hill, Ramona High School's 2014 Female Athlete of the Year. And the statistics are huge: 12 varsity letters with four each in golf basketball and softball. “If she would have played just a little more golf in the summer she would have been a Division I scholarship golfer,” coach John Rathbun said during the RHS girls golf season last fall. Hill, in fact, was offered a Division I scholarship in golf. “Kailey made the Senior County All Star Team in basketball," said coach Dan Marshall. "I didn’t

have to nominate her. They called and said that she was on the team. She was playing softball by the time the game was played and she had not picked up a ball in weeks. In the first minute that she played she got a steal and hit a 3-point shot. There were several D-1 scholarship kids on the team and she showed right away that she belonged. She could play

linebacker but the team needed me at end,� explained Williams. And play end he did. Williams was named a captain, earned first team All Palomar League and was an All CIF selection. He recorded 56 tackles, had eight tackles for a loss, and recorded four sacks and an interception. On offense he played tight end and fullback. He rushed for 218 yards and two touchdowns, and caught five passes for 45 yards and a TD. Williams was known for his blocking at both positions. He also was a U-T Student Athlete. “T-Bone is a very talented and versatile athlete," said football coach Damon Baldwin. "He played tight end, fullback, defensive end and linebacker. He has the strength and speed to play anywhere. He was willing to do whatever

From page B19

it took to help the team. But what made him so valuable is his intelligence. He is a very intelligent young man and learns very quickly.� In basketball Williams came off the bench to play defense, rebound and score in the paint. Williams was a 3.92 student with a 2030 SAT and a 31 ACT. He will be attending Abilene Christian University in the fall and will major in computer science in hopes of becoming a computer engineer. He plans on playing football. “My parents (Chery and Scott) were very supportive and inspirational. Both went to college and inspired me to get good grades,� said Williams. His favorite subject at RHS was physics and his most inspirational teacher was Baldwin.

Youth volleyball open gym offered on Thursdays Ramona High School volleyball teams offer youth volleyball open gym to those in middle school or younger from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays through July 17.

D-1 basketball if she wanted to." Softball coach Robin Brainard had this to say about Hill: “We have had some great players that have gone on to play and coach at the Division I level. We have never had a more complete softball player than Kailey. As a hitter she is awe-inspiring. She hits for average with awesome power. She is a scholarship pitcher. She can do it all.� Hill did a little more than earn 12 varsity letters. She earned medalist honors in golf. She was a captain in softball and basketball her junior and senior years. She was all league in basketball and softball her junior and senior years. She was all CIF in softball her sophomore, junior and senior seasons. Hill was also recently selected San Diego Section Female Athlete of the Year. She hit .649 with 49 RBIs and 13 home runs (all school records) her final season in softball. She is in the record book for RHS softball. In addition to her outstanding athletic records, Hill has a 4.03 GPA. She will be attending University of San Diego on an academic/athletic scholarship. Hill

will be a pre-med major and plans on becoming a doctor. Her favorite subject at RHS was science (pre-med) and Marshall was her most inspirational teacher. “My parents have been there every step of the way,� she said. Hill still plays catch with her dad, Bob. She also golfs with her dad as well as brother, Robert. Her mom, Chona, attends the games and provides her support that way. Golf, basketball and softball are not the three best things that Hill does. Besides playing those sports at an elite level, Kailey is a leader. Several younger players on all three of her teams were asked how it was playing with Kailey and offered these comments: “She helps us every way that she can,� “She made us feel like we were on the team and belonged on the team,� and “She said that we could help the team win.� Scholar, athlete, leader, role model, record-setter and future doctor are just some of the ways to describe the 2014 Ramona High Female Athlete of the Year.

As I sit safe in Heaven, and watch you every day… I try and let you know with signs, I never went away! I hear you when you’re laughing, And watch you as you sleep, I even place my arms around you, To calm you as you weep. I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home… So I try to send you signs, so you know you’re not alone! Don’t feel guilty that you have life, That was denied to me. Heaven is truly beautiful, just you wait and see. So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, Be free. Then I know with every breath you take, You’ll be taking one for me…

Businesses partner to offer free e-waste Alamo Self Storage at 327 Pine St. is partnering with Recycle San Diego to offer free electronic-waste (e-waste) recycling. It will accept drop-offs Monday through Saturday day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “This new partnership between our two organizations offers a logical and practical solution to the problem of limited local access to electronics-recycling facilities,� said Jeffrey Harding, founder

and president of Recycle San Diego. Harding said his organization’s goal is to expand and ultimately create easily accessible drop-off centers throughout San Diego County. It is illegal in California to dump ewaste such as computers, televisions, and mobile phones in the garbage. Recycle companies find ways to reuse, repurpose and recycle e-waste rather than have the products end up in landfills, noted Harding.

This is the second in a three-part series. In my last column I started to tell you about the surprise held in Cricket’s eyes on a recent foggy morning. Her right eye was glazed over, and, to my chagrin, I had no idea why. Calls to the vet, appointment made, racing home from work to meet the vet. Oh, and of course researching online for reasons an equine’s eye may be cloudy. Not always a good idea, by the way. I got even more worried. OK, hang on. Backing up just a bit, after leaving my beloved horse that Thursday for the office,

worrying on the entire drive and making calls (hands free, in the car) to every veterinary office I could think of — while not really thinking at all, I did tell myself to look it up online when I got to work. No vets are open at 5:30 a.m. so I had to wait for their offices to open at 8, so I may as well start checking on the possible reasons Cricket suddenly had a partial blue-white eye. Glaucoma, cataracts, fibrosis, uveitis, corneal ulcers or scratches, eosinophilic keratitis, and so many other causes and reasons popped up in my search that my head spun. None of these sounded curable or promising for

recovery. I never dreamed I would be trying to figure out the difference between cataracts, glaucoma and a myriad of other eye conditions, diseases and infections in my horse. I didn’t think it possible that my perfect pony pal could be sick or injured. Denial is very powerful, yet that morning I saw what I saw in her eye. I’ve learned quite a bit about the equine eye in the past week. On and on I read on various equine websites and found myself not breathing, frowning and slumped over when I had to take a mental break from all the information. Work was distracting but not enough so. All I thought about all morning was my poor baby being in pain and going blind. She didn’t seem in pain when I left, but heck, how long had I not noticed her cloudy eye? Upon arriving home to meet the vet at 11 that same morning and finding my horse looking normal as ever, doubt filled my heart and clouded my mind. Did I really see

GRAD NIGHT 2014—Ramona's graduates and guests filled four school buses after graduation ceremonies and headed to Parkway Bowl/Boardwalk for an all-night celebration. Above from left are Ashlyn Wienk, Ava Anderson, Lauren Teets, Makaylyn Tallman, Clayton Cooke and Alyssa Sherman. The event featured hypnotist Barry Jones, casino-style gaming tables, bowling, billiards, disc jockey, caricature artists, henna tattoos, unlimited arcade tokens, laser tag and an illusionist.

Cricket’s eye all clouded over just hours ago? Hope sprang forth, just briefly, as the vet chuckled softly at me. I was trying to convince him that I wasn’t crazy, although I had no proof that her eye was cloudy that morning. The vet suggested we take her into the barn, or the darkest place we could get her into safely. As we went into the barn, I suggested placing a towel over her head and face to make it darker, but he declined. He looked at Cricket and pulled his little optic light thingy out, cupped her eye and peered intensely into her eyeball. Cricket blew hard with suspicion as I stroked her neck and comforted her with soft words. With a sigh and a slight click of his tongue, the vet didn’t say a word. Switching to the left side of my horse and peering into that eye, he uttered a “humpf” sound soft and low. My heart sank. My brain froze. I couldn’t breathe. Cricket tensed and raised her head. I had to calm down for her sake.

I had no idea what was being seen or what was running through my vet’s mind. I started to cry. Cricket started to back up. I apologized to my vet and to my horse and reassured my horsey pal that she was OK, everything was OK. Diagnosis? Cataracts! “WHAT? Cricket just turned 13 in May. How can she have cataracts? There is no way my horse is developing cataracts,” I stated — there was the denial again. The vet said she wasn’t developing cataracts, she’d had always had them! “WHAT? What are you talking about?” I think I said that out loud; I don’t remember. I just could not wrap my head around the idea that my perfect horse has limited eyesight, at best. Always has. Second opinion required, call made, appointment set for the next day. I needed to see if this would be confirmed. I didn’t tell either vet I called the other, because I just couldn’t. I was choking on the idea that Cricket may have cata-

racts. I was shoving the idea deep down. There had to be a mistake or another reason. Was this a death sentence? Would she become completely blind? What if it was worse than cataracts? That evening I started to pour through pictures of Cricket to find any possible evidence that these evil villains called cataracts existed prior to that day. I have a ton of pictures in print and on my computer. The printed copies held no evidence I could find. With the pictures I had on my computer I was able to zoom in and concentrate on her eye, at least to some degree. As I looked at dozens of pictures, only one caught my attention. It was one that had always bothered me. Cricket was not quite 2 years old in that picture and there was a blue reflection in her right pupil that never seemed quite right. Never suspecting a young horse would have cataracts, I wrote it off as a reflection and nothing more. How wrong I was.

FOR TRUSTEE’S SALE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL 714-730-2727 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 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 (714) 730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site - www.servicelinkASAP. com - for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 119528.

San Diego Gas & Electric crews work to replace a wood pole, far right, that was damaged in a single vehicle accident around 4:20 a.m. last Thursday. The accident that occurred on San Vicente Road just north of Creelman Lane sent two people to the hospital.

Teen suffers major injuries after vehicle hits utility pole An 18-year-old Ramona woman was airlifted to Palomar Medical Center with life-threatening injuries early last Thursday morning after the vehicle she was in struck a utility pole, said California Highway Patrol. The single vehicle accident occurred on San Vicente Road just north of Creelman Lane at 4:20 a.m. CHP Public Information Officer Kevin Pearlstein said the female was a passenger in the front seat of a 2013 Jeep Patriot driven by an 18-year-old male from El Cajon. They were southbound on San Vicente Road, Pearlstein said, and it ap-

pears the driver may have fallen asleep before striking a utility pole on the east side of the road. "He then went across the lanes and struck another pole with the passenger side of the Jeep," said Pearlstein. A ground ambulance transported the driver to Palomar with moderate, nonlife-threatening injuries, Pearlstein said. Neither drugs nor alcohol are suspected, he added. Although the SDG&E wood pole on the east side of San Vicente was still standing, the base was damaged and crews replaced it with a steel pole.

Expenses were still being tallied, but Ramona Senior Center's ninth annual Rib Fest netted from $12,000 to $14,000 for the center, Ray Cardona, center director, said Tuesday. That's compared to $751 the event raised its first year, he noted. About 885 meals were served, and there were only five uncooked racks of ribs at the end of what was supposed to be a seven-hour fundraiser in the performing arts center at Olive Peirce Middle School on Saturday. "We opened the doors at 10:15 a.m.," said Pete Bakarich, senior center board president and event chair. "People were standing outside." The all-you-can-eat event that had a scheduled start time of 11 a.m. ended at 6 p.m. "Everybody loved the ribs," said Bakarich, refusing to share his secret. "The meat fell off the bones. Everyone loves the barbecue sauce. People were still showing up at 5:45 p.m." In addition to 1,523 pounds of ribs, the center purchased 1,000 pounds of chicken, 250 pounds of potato salad and 30 pounds of cole slaw for the meal. Children ate hot dogs and chips. Free face painting, opportunity baskets, other prizes, a cake sale, root beer floats and outdoor vendors were among other features. —Maureen Robertson
