BY J. HARRY JONES A small Indian tribe in a remote stretch of San Diego County has traded in its failed dream of casino riches for what could be the next big payout — marijuana cultivation. The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel — which shuttered its 35,000-square-foot gaming hall in February 2014, buried under $50 million in debt — has transformed the vacant space into a high-tech medical marijuana operation, and is leasing part of the property to growers who cultivate and distribute the drug to legal
dispensaries throughout the state. On the building’s sprawling parking lot, more than a dozen greenhouses are in various stages of construction awaiting more tenants. The tribe is the first in San Diego County to embrace the marijuana industry in the wake of a December 2014 memo by the U.S. Justice Department that declared sovereign nations would not be prosecuted for growing pot on tribal land in states that had already legalized the drug.

on the North County Health Services Board of Directors. “The money’s been accumulating for years for this project,” said Jung. “…Financially they’ve done sound investments so they could get the money so this could happen up here.” Jung worked in hospital plant operations for 35 years before he retired as a hospital plant services director. He and Ruland agree that the health center’s eventual move from Earlham to Rotanzi Street is positive for the dental and outpatient services it provides, particularly to uninsured or underinsured individuals. The center charges sliding scale fees based on ability to pay. “The Earlham building was getting old, and there were some security issues,” said Jung. “Also, it was getting too small.” Original plans for the Arch Health Partners building at 211 13th St. included space for North County Health Services, but an anticipated grant did not come through, so Palomar Health downsized “to what you see now,” said Jung.

Caltrans reschedules SR-78 closure to start June 9 Caltrans has rescheduled its extended closure for state Route 78, from Weekend Villa Road to Indian Oaks Road, from 6 a.m. Friday, June 9, to 5 a.m., Monday, June 19. The closure is needed to allow crews to construct a retaining wall to stabilize the slope on the north side of the highway, said Caltrans. The detour will extend from Cloverdale Road/San Pasqual Road to Main Street/SR-67.
Eastbound motorists will be detoured south on Cloverdale Road/San Pasqual Road, south on Bear Valley Parkway/Via Rancho Parkway, south on Interstate 15, east on Scripps Poway Parkway and north on SR-67 to SR-78. Westbound motorists will be detoured south on SR-67, west on Scripps Poway Parkway, north on Interstate 15, north on Bear Valley Parkway/Via Rancho Parkway, and north on Cloverdale
Road/San Pasqual Road to SR-78. Local traffic will still be able to access SR-78 between Cloverdale/San Pasqual Road and Indian Oaks Road and between Weekend Villa Road and SR-67/Main Street. Caltrans had previously planned the closure from May 13 to 22 but rescheduled so it would not impact the May 19-21 Ramona Rodeo. —Karen Brainard

BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON Twenty years ago, Amy and Jeff Ruland took a chance — and it paid off. The Rulands, owner/operators of the Sears Hometown Store at 220 Rotanzi St. since June 1998, closed escrow on the sale of their 8,149-square-foot building to North County Health Services last Thursday. According to Sandicor Inc., the building sold for $1.6 million. The store remains open on Rotanzi Street and may not close there for six or more months. Then it will move to another location with a new owner. “There will be a Sears store in Ramona,” said Jeff Ruland. “…This is a really strong market for Sears customers and Sears does not want to give up this market, so it will be in a different location.” North County Health Services is a private, not-for-profit organization with 12 community health centers and two mobile clinics.

RHS musicians promote band at James Dukes Members of Ramona High School’s band introduced their various instruments to students at James Dukes Elementary School during an assembly to encourage interest in next school year’s music program. Ramona Unified School District trustees recently approved hiring a music teacher for elementary schools. John Riley will provide introductory vocal music instruction for kindergarten through third-grade students and instrumental music instruction for fourth- through sixth-grade students. Presenting their instruments and playing portions of songs were Jamie Pacheo on flute, Julian Garrido on clarinet, Sidney Martin on alto saxophone, Noah
Dugger on trumpet, Abby Siebert on euphonium and trombone, Tenaya Bearmar on tuba, and Kyla Hubscher on percussion. Several of the musicians drew applause and excitement when they played songs familiar to the students, such as the theme from “Star Wars.” Ramona High Band Director Arturo Ruiz told the elementary students to listen to the different sounds and “remember to sign up next year for music.” Ruiz will not return as band director in the fall. Filling the spot of band/music teacher at Ramona High and Olive Peirce Middle School will be Abigayle Weaver. — Karen Brainard

Coordinating Ramona Lutheran Christian School's June 2 carnival, Stephanie Lebeau discusses where the carnival rides will go on the school grounds with John Szerszen and Greg Nicita of FunBounce.com. Joining them is Pastor Terry Meyer.
Carnival to celebrate 40 years of Christian education BY KAREN BRAINARD To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Ramona Lutheran Christian School is hosting a carnival, open to the community, on Friday, June 2. “We wanted to do something big to celebrate it,” said Stephanie Lebeau, school volunteer who is coordinating the carnival. The carnival will run from 4 to 8 p.m. at the school, 520 16th St., and it will feature a mini-midway, games, and food trucks. Admission is free. Tickets for rides may be purchased online in advance for a discount — 25 tickets for $20 — at bit.ly/2rEPSCM, and will be $1 per ticket at the carnival. Rides will include the Sizzler, wrecking ball, and swings for young children, said Lebeau. There will also be Zorb balls, a dunk tank with the school principal, an inflatable obstacle course, inflatable slide, and laser tag. Attendees can try their luck at carnival games. Food will be available for purchase from A&S Catering and BBQ of Ramona and San Diego area food trucks: The O Truck featuring organic gourmet burgers, Taste Around the World with a Mexican and Greek menu, and Mahalo Shaved Ice. Lebeau said Eric Vellone with Ramona Town Radio has offered to DJ the event. “We’ll have music then provided by Ramona Town Radio,” she said. June 2 is the last day of school for Ramona Lutheran. Lebeau noted they that they are doing the carnival as a celebration but any money made will go toward new curriculum for next year. The new curriculum is one of the upcoming improvements for the school, said school board member Nicole (Pinning) Manley. A 2002 eighth-grade graduate of Ramona Lutheran School, Manley said she attended it from preschool until she was 14 years old and was valedictorian when she graduated. “It’s a great school,” she said. “It’s a very family-oriented school.” Everyone knows each other, she added. “Parents are very
involved.” Although Manley said the school eliminated the junior high grades within the past 10 years because there was not enough enrollment to support it, they are looking into adding seventh and eighth grades again as some families have requested it. The goal is to possibly add the two grades for the 2018-19 school year, she said. Currently, the school provides preschool through sixth grade, with combined classes for first/second, third/fourth, and fifth/sixth. The preschool is a big part of the school, said Manley, who plans to start her 3-year-old there in the fall. Attending the Ramona Lutheran Church is not a requirement, she said, but church members do receive a discount on school tuition. “We like to have a good cross-over between the church and the school…but by no means mandatory,” she said. Manley believes attending the school during her childhood years made her the person she is today. “It’s a very wholesome environment. That was always a huge thing for me growing up,” she said. “You develop long-lasting friendships. You develop a very strong sense of community within the school.” She also touted the quality of the education. “The school holds itself to a higher standard of education,” she said. In addition to a new curriculum, the school is also doing a lot of renovations and updating, said Manley. Elaine Crary is principal of the school and Deb Abeel is the preschool director. Serving Ramona Lutheran Church is Pastor Terry Meyer. Also to celebrate the 40th anniversary, the school is putting a call out to alumni to send photos from or stories about their time at Ramona Lutheran School. Photos and stories may be emailed to: Parish.ed@rlscd.org.

OUR READERS WRITE Let’s build skatepark Last Monday night Jim Cooper and I attended the Parks Subcommittee meeting of the Ramona Community Planning Group to learn that the other projects on “the list” before us have been cleared off, and Ramona Skatepark is going to be the subcommittee’s only park recommendation to the planning group, to apply 100% of future PLDO until it is done. We are going to be making a presentation before the planning group in the next meeting, in early July, where we are going to ask for their support in several ways, including to help us work with the RICC (Ramona Intergenerational Community Campus), and potentially release some of the funds for some preliminary design work to invigorate and demonstrate their commitment to the community. In preparation for that, we are really hoping to be able to show a healthy response to a fundraising push for June donations. If we raise $1,300, or even more than that, in June, it would triple our fund, and we believe that a well-timed surge of donations will make a statement to the planning group that the community can, and will, mobilize for this park, when the community sees the planning group mobilize, as well. It will also help us to close our fiscal year strong, which will help us with grant applications. Read more here: bit.ly/2r5Xyge There are just a couple of times a year when a donation is more than its face value, and this is one of those times. In this case, your donation before June 30 will be increased by the value of the statement it makes with the timing of it. Will you please donate online at www.ramonaskatepark.org/donate. Your $50, $100 or $250 donation would mean so much at this time. If you have a larger donation, we will be launching a donor wall brick fundraiser in July. If you want to talk about your larger donation applying to a donor wall brick, let’s talk. Your donation is tax-deductible, of course. It is my personal plea for donations in June to help me make this “statement” to the planning group. We have to end the stalemate, where they won’t release funds until we have a community fund, and the community won’t donate until they see movement from the planning group. If the community can make a little movement with a well-timed donation surge at the same time that we are asking the planning group to make a strong commitment for 100% of their parks subcommittee’s attention, I think that could put an end to the stalemate and we can make progress, together, in unity, as a community. Wouldn’t that be amazing? Please call, or stop by Packards for Thursday Cruise Night, if you want to talk. LET’S BUILD THIS! Tracy Engel Ramona Skatepark Champions
Supervisors lack empathy, compassion The County Board of Supervisors is hell bent in denying any sort of relief or comfort to terminally ill people. Supervisors Dianne Jacob and Kristin Gaspar, in particular, are philosophically opposed to legal marijuana being used for any reason, including medicinal. Jacob said in January that "Marijuana of any kind is illegal" under federal law, period. They would allow patients in physical acute pain no medicinal marijuana whatsoever. Gaspar and Jacob run around like mother hens gathering their little ducklings under their wings. SEE LETTERS, A6
COMMENTARY
Hunter on Gianforte’s violence toward reporter BY SUSAN CONRAD Is it OK to be violent if “they” deserve it? Or are there other choices? What happened to walking away when your adversary is simply asking a question? Although his campaign initially lied, newly elected Republican Congressman Greg Gianforte finally admitted he was wrong when he attacked reporter Ben Jacobs in a “choke-slam,” breaking his glasses and sending him to the hospital for X-rays, for simply asking a question about the COB’s report on the healthcare bill. The police supported the reporter’s account by charging Gianforte with assault. The incident was caught on audio tape and a Fox reporter substantiated the reporter’s claims. Unfortunately, most of Montana had already voted through mail-in ballots. So how does Gianforte’s choices affect us here in District 50? Well, based on last week’s LA Times article, Congressional Representative Duncan Hunter told reporters, “It’s not appropriate behavior, unless the reporter deserved it,” according to a tweet posted by the Associated Press’ Mary Clare Jlonick. “Unless he deserved it.” Is this the message we want to endorse? How many of us have heard this excuse? Replace “he” with “she” and the lowbrow excuse for violence becomes all too familiar to women, parents whose daughters are abused by husbands or Ramona Sentinel welcomes letters and guest commentaries. The writer’s name, address and daytime telephone number must be submitted. Only the writer’s name and community of residence will be published.

boyfriends, and children who grew up in violent homes. All too often kids experience physically bullying because, apparently, “they deserved it.” Unless under physical attack, why not just walk away? Mr. Hunter represents our district. He needs to endorse appropriate, non-violent behavior, not give credence to a violent choice of action. Is our democracy eroding into a totalitarian regime that vilifies the press and resorts to beating them up because those in power don’t like the questions? Perhaps, after all, the president has tweeted, “the media is the enemy of the people.” However, the Russian fake news is valid when used to his advantage. So perhaps Duncan Hunter is just following in line with the current administration. Of course Mr. Hunter has made it clear numerous times in interviews that he really doesn’t seem all that interested in opposing views. We are just noise to him. Well Mr. Hunter, by all means, play your favorite “We Are the Champions” all you want, but remember that your title as “Representative” means that you do need to listen to ALL of your constituents who pay your salary. Hopefully we can have representation that can be a role model to our children and respects our sacred free press. Susan Conrad is a Ramona resident. Letters may be mailed to Ramona Sentinel, Attn: Letters, 850 Main St., Suite 106, Ramona, CA 92065; faxed to 760-789-4057; e-mailed to editor@ramonasentinel.com; or brought to 850 Main St., Suite 106, Ramona.

Board approves business expansion, mixed-use plans BY KAREN BRAINARD An Old Town business is expanding and plans are progressing to turn a vacant medical office building into Ramona’s first mixed use of residential and commercial. Peter Bidegain, owner of Reds, Whites & Brews at 629 Main St., told Ramona Design Review Board members at their May 25 meeting that he has closed his adjacent antique store and wants to use the space to expand the seating for his beer and wine tasting room. Bidegain said he will keep some of the antique items in the 900-square-foot space.
“I’m creating what’s called vignette-themed seating,” he said. Bidegain was seeking a waiver request for the expansion, which the board unanimously approved. Future plans also call for outdoor seating in the back of the business. To keep the board updated on plans for the former Arch Health Partners building at 1236 Main St., Architect David Kniff presented renderings of the proposed remodel and new construction. The project calls for remodeling the existing two-story building, constructing a new building next door, and adding a
courtyard in between, all designed in a Spanish Mission style reminiscent of the 1930s. The mixed-use project would feature commercial on the first floor and apartments on the second floor. Member Scotty Ensign said the project falls right in line with the Ramona Village Center Form-Based Code that encourages mixed use. “I think this is a home run,” he said. Kniff said they hope to move into the first phase, which would be updating the exterior of the existing building, in the next 30 days.
In other business, a representative for Mobilitie received board approval, with some conditions, for a distributed antenna system (DAS) to be added to a county-owned light pole at Ramona and Main streets for cell phone coverage. Todd Phillips, Mobilitie permitting manager, said cell phone carriers are finding pockets where there is no coverage and more are using DAS rather than towers that look like trees. It would be the first DAS in Ramona, he said. Phillips said he would be meeting with the county and the Ramona Community Planning Group this week.
SDG&E warns of phone scams
PHOTOS BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON
San Diego Gas & Electric warned customers Thursday of an increase in complaints about phone scammers using the name of the utility in fraudulent calls. The most recent complaints involved people who identified themselves as being with SDG&E and selling rooftop solar panels, according to the utility. SDG&E officials said they don't sell or install private solar panels or work with third party companies to sell or install them on their behalf. The utility also doesn't initiate contact via email, phone, or otherwise to demand immediate payment or ask for personal information, such as bank accounts, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive information. Making things more confusing for customers, scammers are starting to use
technology that fools caller ID systems, so their calls display “San Diego Gas & Electric” and its main customer service number, 800-411-7343, regardless of the actual source of the call. SDG&E officials said spreading awareness of the latest fraud techniques helps residents from becoming victims. According to the utility, energy companies nationwide are working with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to identify and prosecute scammers. People who receive a suspicious call or one that makes them feel uncomfortable should hang up, or not answer it in the first place if possible. SDG&E encourages anyone who has been a victim of the solar scam to report any loss of money to their local law enforcement agency.

Open Studios Tour raises $4,000 for chamber The 2017 Ramona Open Studios Tour this spring raised $4,000 for Ramona Chamber of Commerce, the chamber reported. “That’s money that goes into community events,” said Judy Nachazel, event co-founder and chair for the past 14 years. This was Nachazel’s last year heading the annual two-day open studios art tour. She said she enjoyed working with the artists and the chamber, but she and husband Richard, both retired, plan to travel as much as they can. Chamber director Karen Domnitz, a real estate agent with Century
21 Award, will take over the fundraiser that this year featured 25 artists who opened their studios to the public. Each tour raised money for the chamber, even during the recession. “It was quite successful,” said Nachazel, an artist and art teacher who is active in the Ramona Art Guild and vice president of the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Murals Project. In addition to crediting Ramona artists and the chamber for their support each year, Nachazel said “we’ve had fantastic support from the community and the merchants and sponsors. —Maureen Robertson

A suspect stole donated clothing from a secured area outside Ramona Food and Clothes Closet early Friday morning, May 26, and it was recorded on a surveillance video. He was seen climbing over the fence and putting an estimated $300 worth of miscellaneous clothing into a black plastic bag, reported Sgt. Robert Samuels. The
burglary occurred around 4:30 a.m. and the suspect was seen in the footage wearing a beanie and light-colored shirt. The nonprofit has a locked fenced-in area around the back of the thrift store where some donations are stored. It is the second recent burglary for the thrift store at 773 Main St., according to the sheriff’s department.

FROM LETTERS, A4 Both think they know what's best for their constituents. They don't. The board has decided not to allow any new dispensaries in the unincorporated area of the county, including Ramona. They are also going to phase out the existing dispensaries within 5 years such as Ramona's own ShowGrow dispensary. The Ramona Sentinel did a feature article about the Higuera family (May 18), whose little 4-year-old daughter, Sadie, finds great relief from her seizures by taking real scientific hemp oil, or RSHO, a high concentration cannabidiol oil (CBD) from the San Diego-based company HempMeds. Since taking this remedy, Sadie is almost free of grand mal seizures. Sadie had a life expectancy of two years. Now she may live into adult life.
The Higueras are being helped financially by a nonprofit organization called Echo Connections. It helps about 40 families who are in need, said a company spokeswoman. It is unclear whether the Board of Sups have the power and authority to shut down HempMeds. Calls to Gaspar and Jacob to obtain an answer over a nearly two-week period were ignored. However, Gasper's chief of staff, Dustin Steiner, said when reached May 23 would not say whether or not the board has any legal right to shut it down. Jacob's chief of staff, Jeff Collins, would only say "You can write whatever you want," and then terminated the conversation. Gaspar and Jacobs' arrogance, and lack of empathy and compassion is truly shameful. The pretty and preen are really ugly and mean. Peter W. Quercia Ramona

Head Cook Lora Cicalo is right at home in the kitchen of Ramona Senior Center. Her days start at 6 a.m.
Community Profile
No grind for this head cook BY KAREN BRAINARD Every weekday at lunchtime, Ramona Senior Center is filled with enticing aromas as a staff of three, led by Lora Cicalo, busily prepare food in the kitchen. Cicalo, head cook and a Ramona resident, has been working in the senior center kitchen for 17 years and said working in the kitchen is like being at home and every day she looks forward to her job. “I love it. It’s like my second family,” she said. Cicalo, her assistant cook, and a kitchen aide start at 6 a.m. each day to prepare meals for the homebound. The Ramona Meals on Wheels has three drivers who deliver meals to nine zip codes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. By 9 a.m., Cicalo said they have prepared 140 meals for the homebound. “After that we clean up and start all over and we cook for the congregate that can come in and eat here.” Senior center lunches start at 11:30 a.m. weekdays, except for holidays. The suggested donation for seniors is $5. “The whole program is based on suggested donations. We don’t turn anyone away,” said Cicalo. Cooking was not always Cicalo’s forte. The job in the kitchen sort of fell in her lap. “Honestly, I didn’t have a background with cooking,” she admitted. “I really didn’t.” Cicalo was living in San Diego and decided to move to Ramona when her brother and sister did. Born and raised in the Clairemont/Pacific Beach area, Cicalo said, “For me, Ramona was light years away.” After the move, she had a difficult time finding a job. “I came here (senior center) one day and I did some volunteer work here,” said Cicalo. About five months later she received a call from the senior center, was commended on the way she worked, and
offered a full-time job as assistant cook. She was thrilled to receive the job. Emphasizing her previous lack of culinary skills at home, Cicalo humorously commented, “It’s really strange because my whole family goes ‘who would have thought you’d end up cooking for a living.’ I call that on-the-job training.” Around 2003, she was offered a promotion. “And when they offered me the cook job, I was very, very nervous,” recalled Cicalo. “It was a big responsibility to jump into. You know, you’re running the whole show back there.” As head cook, Cicalo isn’t only tasked with preparing the food; she has certain county and state guidelines to follow for the senior center. That includes watching the amount of sodium, including certain amounts of vitamins C and A, and adding milk, starches, and whole grains. Each month she submits the menu to the county’s Aging and Independent Services representative for approval. “There’s a lot that goes into it,” she said, adding, “We pretty much have set meals that they like.” Meatloaf is the favorite, she noted. When Cicalo makes beef stew she has to itemize all the ingredients. Over the years some seniors have brought in recipes, but the challenge for the head cook is to see if she can take the six-serving recipe and turn it into 240 servings. One new entrée, suggested by a senior, is a ravioli bake, said Cicalo, who also makes one of her family recipes — a chicken broccoli casserole. Cicalo, who enjoys living in Ramona, recruits her husband, Lane Yule, and family members to help with senior center fundraisers such as the annual Rib Fest. And, what do her sons, now age 22 and 14, think of their mother’s meal preparation at home? They noticed a difference, Cicalo chuckled. “Mom learned how to cook.”

Wilson, Meitzler to play sports in college
BY JOE NAIMAN The list of Ramona High School seniors who will be playing college sports next year now includes Morgann Wilson and Lauren Meitzler. Wilson will attend New England College in Henniker, N.H., and play volleyball for the Pilgrims while also possibly participate on the track and field team. Meitzler will play softball for Austin Peay University in Clarksville, Tenn. She signed a letter of intent for an athletic scholarship at the Division I university. "I look at it as a blessing from God. It was nice to get signed as a D-I pitcher this late in the game," she said. Although Meitzler was recruited as a pitcher for Austin Peay, she also plays second base and outfield. "If they need me at second or outfield I can definitely play there," she said. "Lauren has been awesome. She's been a pleasure to work with," Wright said. "She stays positive. She's always looking to better herself." She made the varsity as a freshman and was a field player as a sophomore, when the Bulldogs had current Harvard pitcher Alissa Hiener as well as current Ramona senior Hanah Bowen, who is expected to pitch for the University of Arizona next year. A hip injury limited Meitzler's playing time as a junior. "I had been dealing with injuries all of last year," she said. "It put a dent in my recruiting process." Austin Peay offered her a scholarship. "That was a blessing for my family since I don't have to pay much for college," Meitzler said. Many college programs use a designated hitter to bat for the pitcher, but that won't be the case with Meitzler and the Governors. "They're still going to let me hit," she said. "Basically it was just a real perfect fit for me." Meitzler's favorite Ramona High School moment was hitting a grand slam against Otay Ranch in the 2015 CIF playoffs. "She has done a great job of leading the team," said Wright. Meitzler started her club softball career with Ramona Girls Softball when she was 7. Her first travel club was the So Cal Blaze, which she joined when she was 11. Her current club team is the Orange County Batbusters. "I just appreciate the work that my parents have done to get me to where I am," said the daughter of Brian and Michelle Meitzler. Meitzler was 6 when her family moved from Mira Mesa to Ramona. She attended Barnett Elementary School from first through sixth grade prior to her time at Olive Peirce Middle School and Ramona High School. She is leaning towards a nursing or biology major and noted that some schools were encouraging her to choose a major that would fit into the team's schedule, but Austin Peay did not limit her decision. "They definitely made me the best offer," she said. "This one, it checked all the boxes." If she does not choose a career in nursing, Meitzler desires
With Ramona High School senior Morgann Wilson when she signs her letter of intent to play volleyball at New England College are her mother, Jayme; her sister, Payton, a first-grader at Hanson Elementary; and her grandfather, Gary Ray.
Ramona High School senior Lauren Meitzler signs her letter of intent to play softball at Austin Peay University in Tennessee.

employment in the marine biology field. Wilson will attend New England College on an academic scholarship and has been told that she will be in the fall 2017 volleyball roster. As a Division III school of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, New England College does not offer athletic scholarships. "It was super exciting to be able to play," she said. "I think she's going to be an amazing asset to any team that she goes to because of her versatility," Ramona volleyball coach Connie Halfaker said. "She could run track in college. She has a lot of talent," added Ramona track and field head coach Sherri Edwards. Among schools Wilson was considering were Cal State University San Marcos, which offered her a scholarship, and San Diego State University, where she would have played with the club program. The opportunity to play early in her collegiate career was a factor in Wilson's decision to select New England College. "I had a better chance of starting as a freshman," she said. "I have a better opportunity of playing a lot." Wilson was primarily a middle blocker in high school but primarily a right side hitter during club season. "Morgann's versatility is what Morgann brings to a team," Halfaker said. "She was the player who no matter what we needed to have done she was able to do it. She went in at any time in any position and made us better. She worked as hard as anybody else," said Halfaker. "She had to work so hard because she had to know everything at a moment's notice. She was able to apply her skill." Wilson has been on the varsity volleyball team for three years and was on the junior varsity squad as a freshman.
"They had a bunch of hitters my freshman year," she said. Ramona won the 2014 CIF Division II volleyball championship, which is Wilson's favorite high school memory. "She considered the team and her teammates above herself, which is what made her such a strong asset," Halfaker said. "She wasn't concerned about what she was getting for herself." Wilson received her first all-league volleyball honor as a senior when the Valley League coaches made her an honorable mention selection on the 2016 all-league contingent. Track and field plans aren't definite for Wilson, but that is her desire. "I'm going to try to run in college also," she said. That decision has the support of New England volleyball coach Mark Thomas. "My coach, he knows that I run track," she added. Wilson has been on Ramona High’s varsity track and field team all four years. Earlier this year she broke Emily Sojourner's 2016 school record in the 100-meter hurdles. Wilson's mother, who was Jayme Ray when she graduated from Ramona High School in 1995, holds the 300-meter hurdles record. Wilson's father played football at El Capitan High School. Wilson is leaning toward a criminal justice major. A lifelong Ramona resident, she attended what was called both Hanson Lane Elementary School and Hanson Elementary School before Olive Pierce and Ramona High. Wilson began her club volleyball career in eighth grade with the Coast North team based in Escondido, and as a senior she joined the original Coast program based in the Sorrento Valley area of San Diego.

Firefighter Jeff Yeager will drive this Crown Victoria in the 27th Annual Fire & Safety Expo and Firefighter Demolition Derby at the county fair.
Businessman supports demolition derby at county fair BY BETH EDWARDS Dave Harbour, owner of Harbour Farm & Vineyard in Ramona, is sponsoring a portion of car number 61, which will be purposefully crashing into other cars in support of the Burn Institute’s 27th Annual Fire & Safety Expo and Firefighter Demolition Derby. The derby is scheduled for June 3, the first Saturday of the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in the Del Mar Arena. Harbour sponsored the right rear panel on the colorful 2005 Crown Victoria that Miramar Firefighter Jeff Yeager is looking forward to driving during this popular standing-room-only event. It’s the first time Yeager will drive in the derby, but he’s been involved in the pits and with building of the cars for years. Harbour’s support helped raise the minimum $15,000 to cover the costs of purchasing and retrofitting a car to derby driver safety standards. They both hope their car will survive the crashing and metal-smashing to be the last one moving, raising funds for what they agree is a worthy cause. The Burn Institute uses the proceeds from the event for its fire safety efforts, including its Camp Beyond the Scars held at Ramona's Oakbridge Camp. The annual camp provides a week of self-esteem building skills, fun, and fellowship for approximately 50

Bulldogs advance to second week of CIF playoffs BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s baseball team advanced to the second week of the CIF Division II playoffs. The fourth-seeded Bulldogs defeated fifth-seeded Point Loma in a May 24 home game, lost in the double-elimination tournament May 26 at top-seeded San Marcos, and returned home May 27 where Ramona defeated Point Loma in the losers’ bracket game. A rematch between Ramona and San Marcos was played Tuesday after this issue went to press and determined whether the Bulldogs would play at San Marcos again Thursday or whether the Knights would advance directly to Saturday afternoon’s CIF Division II championship game at the University of San Diego. Point Loma was the Eastern League
Prep Baseball
champion. The Pointers had a 21-9-1 regular-season record. The Bulldogs concluded their regular season with a 21-8 record and were 11-1 in Valley League play to win the league championship. “We were anxious,” said Ramona coach Dean Welch. “We knew Point Loma would be tough. They had a great season.” The Pointers took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but Ramona scored twice in the bottom of the first and twice in the third. Each team scored once in the fourth. Bryce Roe hit two home runs in the fifth inning, and Ramona scored a total of eight runs in that frame. “We blew it open,” Welch said. Point Loma scored once in the top of the sixth and Ramona scored twice in the bottom of that inning for a 15-3 lead. Roe, who was
also the starting pitcher, was removed after six innings and the Pointers scored the final six runs of the 15-9 game in the top of the seventh. “We came out hot and we just played an excellent ballgame,” Welch said. In his six innings on the mound Roe allowed seven hits, three runs including one unearned run, and two walks while striking out three. “He did a fantastic job,” Welch said. Prior to the inning in which Roe hit the two home runs, he was hit in the ear by a line drive. “He got back up, showed us what he’s made of,” Welch said. Ramona batters had a total of 13 hits. Eight of the nine Ramona hitters had at least one safety. The exception was Garrett Lee, who walked in all four of his plate appearances. The four walks in a game set a school record
and shares seventh on the all-time CIF San Diego Section list. Tristan Stacy, who had one hit and walked twice, scored four times and set a school record with five stolen bases. The Bulldogs had a total of eight steals with Cameron Rowles pilfering two bases and Adrian Collazo adding a steal. Roe had three hits, scored three times, and had three runs batted in. Collazo and E.J. Edelman also each drove in three runs. Ramona drew a total of nine walks off Point Loma pitching. Welch was not disappointed in the 6-4 loss at San Marcos, whose 27-4 regular-season performance included a 14-1 Avocado East League figure for the circuit championship. “They’re a good ball club,” Welch said. “We knew what we were in for.

Bulldogs show some tough stuff in playoff win BY JOHN MAFFEI They raise country-strong kids in Ramona. Never was that more evident than during last Wednesday’s 15-9 Division II baseball playoff win over Point Loma. With the Bulldogs ahead 4-3 in the fourth inning, Ramona pitcher Bryce Roe took a line drive off his head. “The ball hit him almost flush off the ear,” said Ramona coach Dean Welch. “It hit so hard that the ball went into the outfield to put runners on second and third. “There was some blood, but he wasn’t woozy at all. It didn’t hit him quite square. Our trainer ran him through concussion protocol. He stayed in and got the next hitter to pop up to end the inning.” As fate would have it, Roe slugged a long home run to lead off the bottom of the inning. Roe also homered in an eight-run fifth. “What’s really funny is that Bryce broke a cleat on his plant foot in the second inning,” Welch said. “He just shook it off and rolled with it.” In the third inning, Ramona catcher Noah Hirsh crashed into the backstop screen while catching a foul pop. “He had a nice cut above his eye,” Welch said. “The trainer stopped the bleeding, and he stayed in. But he went to urgent care after the game to get stitches.” John Maffei writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

ready for a good playoff game and it was. We just got edged out.” The Knights had a 4-0 lead after three innings, but Ramona scored twice in the fourth and twice in the top of the sixth to narrow the Bulldogs’ deficit to 5-4. “I like how we battled,” Welch said. “They were fired up. We were fired up.” In the May 26 losers’ bracket game, Point Loma scored twice in the bottom of the sixth to tie the Pointers’ game against Mission Hills. The next run was scored in the bottom of the 11th inning and gave Point Loma a 5-4 victory and a rematch against Ramona. “Saturday games are tough. You never quite know what to expect,” Welch said. The Saturday game was more defense-oriented than the Wednesday game. Scoring in Ramona’s 2-0 victory began in the first when Stacy tripled to dead center and Collazo sent Stacy across the plate. Hirsh led off the fifth inning with a double, was sacrificed to third, and scored when Rowles forced the Pointers outfielder to field his hit off the wall. Collazo, Hirsh, and Rowles are all seniors. “Our seniors stepped up,” Welch said. Creede Jeffers, who pitched a complete game, is a junior. He allowed three hits, all singles, along with three walks and three hit batters. “He got out of a couple of tight spots,” Welch said. In the top of the seventh Point Loma had runners on first and second with one out. A balk was called against Jeffers, placing runners on second and third with one out. Jeffers then retired the final two hitters. “I really am so proud of how he stayed in control,” Welch said. The second victory against Point Loma improved Ramona’s season record to 23-9.
The 11-over-par total for the two days did not make the cut to advance to the SoCal regional tournament.
Coach Michael Gainey said seniors Justin Graf, Cameron Marshall, and David Hall were disappointed they were
not able to advance to day 2, but were happy for their teammate. “He got a chance to play with some of the best players in the county,” said Gainey, adding that Matoian knows what to
work on in the off-season to prepare for next year. Marshall missed the cut for day 2 by one stroke, shooting a 79. Justin Graf had an 81; Hall, 89; and Kyle Pack, 95. — Karen Brainard

11 athletes make podium at CIF championships BY DAN BROWN Ramona High School Track and Field teams had 11 Bulldogs qualify for the San Diego CIF Track and Field championships at Mt. Carmel on Saturday. Ramona’s athletic performances were ranked against Division 2 schools with the top six places earning a CIF Medal. The boys placed 12th in Division 2 out of 35 teams even though they only sent six athletes to the meet. The girls placed 15th out of 30 teams with only five girls competing. In the morning it was cool and overcast, but by early afternoon the clouds gave way to a warm breezy afternoon. Junior Gabe Stallman competed at 10 a.m. before the clouds gave way and placed sixth in the discus with a personal best throw of 133 feet 6 inches on his last attempt. Stallman’s throw was ninth best overall and second best for an underclassman on record for Ramona. Justice Mendoza did not medal in the 200-meter run, placing ninth with a time of 22.53. However he did help his team place sixth in the 4x100-meter relay with Caleb Berman, Christian Gabriel, and Januar Ramadhan. They ran 43.64, just off their season best time. Reyna Valade placed ninth in the 400 with a time of 61.94 but anchored her 4x400 relay team with Tuesday Christopher, Alicia Luna, and Sierra Crenshaw to a fifth place finish with a time of 4:12.16. Berman placed fourth in the 100 hurdles with a time of 15.34. Ian Cirillo missed his goal of breaking the school record for the 300 hurdles in his final race for Ramona. He placed fourth with a time of 40.99. It was the seventh time this season Cirillo has run under 41 seconds but was

Morgann Wilson clears the last hurdle and lowers her school record to 15.57 to place fourth in the San Diego CIF championships on Saturday. unable to break the school record of 40.5 set in 1995. Morgann Wilson placed eighth in the 300 hurdles with a time of 49.94 but lowered her school record in the 100 hurdles with a time of 15.57, placing fourth. With no Ramona athletes qualifying for the state championships in Fresno, the season ended for the Bulldogs on Saturday. Head Coach Sherri Edwards was pleased with the season. “We came very close to a league championship with both the boys and girls losing to San Pasqual by just a few points, she
said. “I was disappointed we did not have more athletes qualify for the San Diego CIF championship meet but we had some injuries and illness that prevented some of our athletes from qualifying. “We did dominate the Valley League championship meet, placing at least one athlete in the top four of every event but two for the boys and girls. Ramona will lose some key athletes to graduation this year and they will be greatly missed, but we have a great core group of athletes returning next year so hopefully we can improve on our accomplishments next year.”
Supervisors proclaim Gwendalyn Gibson Day

FATHER/DAUGHTER WIN SILVER AT TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS Greg Failla and his 13-year-old daughter, Julia, win the silver ball in the U.S. Tennis Association’s National Father-Daughter tournament held recently in Palm Desert. It was the first year for Julia, an eighth-grader at Mountain Valley Academy, to play in the tournament with her father. She competes in Junior National tournaments throughout the year and is ranked 26 in Southern California. Greg previously played in the Father/Daughter tournaments with daughter Jessica and the two won in 2014. Jessica, who just finished her second year at University of Southern California, played in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships for singles at University of Georgia in May. Greg and his wife, Katrina, teach a tennis, golf, and swim camp at San Vicente Resort in the summer.
BY JOE NAIMAN San Diego County Board of Supervisors honored Ramona High School senior Gwendalyn Gibson during the proclamation session of a recent meeting. The proclamation acknowledged her mountain bicycle race achievements and declared May 2, 2017, as Gwendalyn Gibson Day throughout the County of San Diego. "This is a really big honor to receive this and be recognized for hard work," said Gibson. Supervisor Dianne Jacob read the proclamation: "The County of San Diego is committed to recognizing and honoring those individuals who bring great pride to the region, and Gwendalyn Gibson is one such worthy individual." Gibson began competing with the Cycle Dawgs as a Ramona High School freshman. She won the varsity girls state championship as a junior in 2016. "She's obviously a pretty dynamic young lady, and we're very proud of her," said Cycle Dawgs coach Robert Grace. This year USA Cycling placed Gibson on its national team. Gibson recently won her first Union Cycliste Internationale mountain bike World Cup series with her team during a competition at Bear Mountain in British Columbia, and she plans to compete in UCI races in Canada and Europe. Gibson's longer-term goal is to win America's first Olympic gold medal in mountain biking during the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo. "This is an amazing young woman," Jacob said. "I'm just really honored to be recognized for my hard work over the last couple of years and thankful for my family and coaches," said Gibson. "Hopefully I can continue to keep doing well and make everyone proud."
Claudia Nabours and Abby Reece organize the fundraising tournament at Riviera Oaks Tennis Resort.
Delta Kappa Gamma raises nearly $500 at Granda-Slamma for fledgling teachers Members of Iota Rho Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society of Key Women Educators raised nearly $500 at its third biennial tennis tournament fundraiser called “Granda-Slamma.” Iota Rho gives several monetary grants to graduating senior girls who plan a career in education. It also supports new teachers to the Ramona district with gift cards for classroom supplies and volunteer time in the classroom. The tournament was held at Riviera Oaks Tennis Resort from 8 a.m. to noon on April 22. The event was organized by Claudia Nabours and Abby Reece and was staffed by Iota Rho Chapter members, who also donated refreshments for the players. Donna Braye-Romero, Iota Rho president, made introductions and talked about Delta Kappa Gamma and how the funds raised would be used. The 16 tennis players who participated warmed up to Zumba routines before play began. Sandra Kelley provided the Zumba instruction. Nabours’ and Reece’s tennis team, the Smash Gals, made succulent planters out of tennis balls for the players, and they all received prizes donated by the following businesses: Diamond Resorts Riviera Oaks Racquet Club, Riviera Spa, Cameron Yarborough/Oakley, Dunkin’ Donuts, Nuevo Grill, Affordable Treasures, Grant James Vineyards, Greg and Katrina Failla, Smash Girls Tennis Team, and Sandra Kelly. They thanked the businesses for their generous contributions and agreed “all in all it was a fun event for all who participated.”

NEWS BRIEFS Horsepower for Life
Bee attacks send man, woman to hospital
The Drille Divas Ramona Relay for Life team will present Horsepower for Life 2017 on Saturday, June 3. The event, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, will be at the San Diego Country Estates International Equestrian Center, 16911 Gunn Stage Road. The equestrian center will open for the event at 4 p.m., and performances featuring The Drille Divas, The Grand Ladies of the Old West, The Victorian Roses Ladies Riding Society, and “Spur of the Moment” Western Theatre Group will begin at 5. A silent auction, booths, vendors, food and live music are planned. The Drille Divas invite the community for an evening of fun “with the hopes that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, those who face cancer will be supported, and one day cancer will be eliminated.”
A swarm of bees attacked a 38-year-old man in the 15400 block of Wyeport Road Wednesday, descending on him and sending him to a hospital, reported Cal Fire. The man was in his yard around 12:30 p.m. when he was attacked. Medics treated the man at the scene of the attack, then took him to Pomerado Hospital in Poway for further care, said Cal Fire Capt. Issac Sanchez. It was unclear how many times the victim had been stung, and his condition and name were not released. This was the second bee attack in as many days. A woman in Rancho Bernardo went to the hospital after a swarm of bees attacked her as she was walking her dog with her child in a stroller last Tuesday.

Cal Fire suspends burn permits in rural areas Effective May 26, Cal Fire suspended burn permits for outdoor residential burning within the State Responsibility Area (SRA) of San Diego County. The suspension is due to increasing fire danger posed by the high volume of dead grass and hot, dry conditions. Areas around Ramona and the backcountry are within the SRA. The suspension bans outdoor burning of landscape debris such as branches and leaves. “We are asking that residents not be lulled into a false sense of security on the heels of an exceptionally wet winter,’ said Chief Ken Pimlott, Cal Fire director. “The abundant dead grass will only serve as a fuse to the heavier vegetation still suffering the lasting effects of five years of extreme drought.” Since Jan.1, Cal Fire and firefighters across the state have responded to more than 920 wildfires.
“The importance of defensible space cannot be over emphasized,” said Cal Fire Unit/San Diego County Fire Chief Tony Mecham. “But just as important is that residents conduct their clearance activities in a safe and responsible manner. This includes using the proper tools and limiting clearance activities to the early morning hours when the humidity is up and the temperatures are down.” Residents are asked to maintain a minimum of 100 feet of defensible space around every home and building on their property. Cal Fire provides these tips to prepare homes and property: • Clear all dead and or dying vegetation 100 feet from around all structures. • Landscape with fire resistant/drought tolerant plants. • Find alternative ways to dispose of landscape debris like chipping or hauling
it to a biomass energy or green waste facility. The department may issue restricted temporary burning permits if there is a reason due to public health and safety. Agriculture, land management, fire training, and other industrial-type burning may proceed if a Cal Fire official inspects the burn site and issues a special permit. The suspension of burn permits for residential landscape debris does not apply to campfires within organized campgrounds or on private property. Campfires may be permitted if the campfire is maintained to prevent its spread to the wildland. A campfire permit can be obtained at local fire stations or online at PreventWildfireCA.org. For more information on creating defensible space, and tips to prevent wildfires, visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org.

MAIN STREET, EL CAJON, CA 92020 Estimated amount of unpaid balance, reasonably estimated costs and other charges: $ 224,241.70 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE THE TRUSTEE WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, 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, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 120 Hunter Street, Ramona, CA 92065 A.P.N.: 282-110-11-00 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 224,241.70. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. 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. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 con-
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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2017-00238-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

RAMONA SENTINEL - JUNE 1, 2017 - PAGE A21
FROM POT, A1 Indian tribes across the nation have been mostly wary of that decision, but at Santa Ysabel the timing of the Justice Department memo, 10 months after the casino failed, seemed also serendipitous. In 2007, when the Santa Ysabel Resort and Casino opened on a hillside off state Route 79 overlooking Lake Henshaw, the tribe envisioned building a hotel to serve the hordes of gamblers who would surely flock there. That never happened — there were too many other casinos closer to San Diego and major transportation corridors like Interstate 15. The 700-member Santa Ysabel tribe had watched its neighbors get rich, but saw its own prospects evaporating. So in early 2015, tribal leaders quietly jumped at the opportunity for a new revenue source. They soon created laws regulating marijuana on the reservation and established the Santa Ysabel Cannabis Regulatory Agency and Cannabis Commission to oversee the fledgling venture. For the past 18 months, marijuana cultivated at the site has been shipped to legal dispensaries across the state, said Dave Vialpando, who heads the tribe’s regulatory agency. Vialpando declined to identify the marijuana businesses that are leasing grow space, or the financial arrangement between those companies and the Santa Ysabel tribe. He said the operation at the casino property is still “very, very small. It’s two grow rooms, less than 1,000 plants. Mostly it’s still empty space. It’s still in development.” “The greenhouses are at various stages of construction,” he added. “It won’t be all cultivation. There will be processing rooms and trimming rooms and storage rooms. There’s a lot of infrastructure that goes with the enterprise of medical cannabis.” Vialpando said the testing lab is about to open and there

These are structures on the land where the failed Santa Ysabel Casino used to be in Santa Ysabel. Today the structures seen in the photo are reported by locals to be a marijuana growing operation. is the possibility that other cannabis products such as lotions could be produced in the future. Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies across the region say they’re aware of the tribe’s marijuana operation and are taking a wait-and-see approach. Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Blair Perez released a statement to The San Diego Union-Tribune saying that “Santa Ysabel was informed in September 2015 that a marijuana grow violated federal law. Since 2015, this office has enforced the federal drug laws in compliance with current Department of Justice guidance and will continue to do so.” Interpretation: Federal law prohibits the cultivation and distribution of marijuana, but current policy allows for pot to be grown on reservations as long as a list of requirements is met. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement it does not license, inspect, or regulate marijuana cultivation on tribal lands. “The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel is operating under tribal law and tribal authority in this case.” The District Attorney’s office said it’s aware of the grow operation at Santa Ysabel “and has advised the tribe that if state laws are broken in a location where we have jurisdiction, our office will review any resulting investigation for potential

While “a lot of things are up in the air” regarding when Ramona Health Center will move into the Sears Hometown building, the Rulands plan to sell their business.

criminal charges.” Vialpando — who worked as an officer with the California Justice Department before retiring in 2011 to head the tribe’s gaming operations and then its cannabis agency — said he’s confident the Santa Ysabel tribe is doing everything by the book. “We have a highly regulated operation,” he said. “The tribe has no ownership interest in cannabis. It doesn’t cultivate it, doesn’t process it.” “It’s not been a secret to our government partners,” Vialpando added. “It’s a highly regulated enterprise. We have inspections and audits and waste disposal to assure that no cannabis waste leaves the reservation.” Though California voters approved Proposition 64 in November, legalizing the recreational use and cultivation of pot, Vialpando said the tribe’s laws only allow the cultivation of medicinal marijuana. He said the tribe has no plans to expand those rules to include recreational marijuana. Vialpando said no other local tribe is involved in the pot business, but Santa Ysabel has had inquiries from other reservations. Bob Miller, an Indian law attorney and professor at Arizona State University, said growing pot on reservations is a hot topic among tribal leaders across the country. He said that many of the scheduled seminars at a
“When I was 37, I said, OK, if I’m going to be a Sears dealer/owner, I’m going to own the land, too, so hopefully 20 years later it will pay off. That was the plan,” he said. It wasn’t easy, he admitted. They needed a small business loan. “I went to the bank and said I need to borrow a million bucks,” he said. As construction of the building progressed, $1 million wasn’t enough. They borrowed from Jeff’s parents and
national conference on Native American issues this month in Las Vegas have to do with marijuana. The growing acceptance of the drug, however, could hit a roadblock with the Trump administration. Miller said tribal leaders are watching what develops. “The way (Attorney General) Jeff Sessions talks about marijuana has got to make tribes very, very hesitant,” he said. Sessions has publicly said that “Good people don’t smoke marijuana” and last year, as a senator, he said “we need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized... that it is, in fact, a very real danger.” At the Santa Ysabel reservation, Vialpando said the tribe also has its eyes on Washington, but is moving forward with its plans. Security is a priority, and the old casino building is just about perfect for such an operation, Vialpando said. To get to the facility requires a long drive up a paved road that is blocked by a security gate and an armed guard. “We have quite a few security measures built in and yes, the location is ideal in not creating any sort of undue public safety risk,” said Vialpando. “The hilltop is a very defensible position, a very secure position.” J. Harry Jones writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.
from Amy’s parents. Some in town didn’t think they would succeed, but despite the sacrifices they made, they did. “You can make it in America if you’re willing to take a risk, and if you want to make it big you have to take a big risk,” said Ruland. “It’s kind of a success story, not only my marriage with Sears, but jumping in with both feet. It was huge … We did the right thing. We took care of business and took care of our customers.”

GRADING UNDER WAY FOR WILLOW RIDGE ESTATES Crews grade the site for Willow Ridge Estates, a KirE Builders development of 17 single-family homes on 9.78 acres south of Hanson Lane across from Olive Peirce Middle School. The property was previously owned by the late Glae and Jean McDonald, who had proposed a subdivision of single-family homes named McDonald Park. A street in the development will be named after them: Glae Jean Court.
County nets $5.6M in property auction The county of San Diego's annual auction of tax-defaulted properties took in a record $5.6 million in revenue in May, Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister said. The auction was conducted online for the first time this year. Bidders bought 343 properties for a total of $5,613,700. The previous record was $3.49 million from the 2013 auction, when 62 properties were sold. McAllister said 13 improved properties like homes or businesses were sold, along with 117 unimproved properties and 213 timeshares. The county is allowed to sell parcels where the owners haven't paid property taxes in five years or more. Because the county still has more than 1,000 properties to sell — mostly timeshares — a second online auction will be conducted July 21-26. Prospective bidders may begin registering for the sale starting June 21 at sdttc.mytaxsale.com. They need to give a refundable $1,000 bid deposit, as well as a non-refundable $35 processing fee to participate. Minimum bids for the timeshares will be $100.

ASK MR. MARKETING BY ROB WEINBERG
I Couldn’t Do This Without You
T
he strangest thing happened at a recent chamber networking event. Introducing myself to two women, one said to the other, “I know Rob. He’s a celebrity, and very well-known around these parts.” Actually, I’m an incredibly minor celebrity, but appreciated the recognition. In fact I’m always surprised when strangers greet me. I guess these things happen after 500 columns. Eleven years after we started our dialogue, I’ve apparently developed a following. For this I’m both grateful and nonplussed. When asked why they read my column, folks typically explain, “You make marketing accessible to people who know nothing about it.” My bride keeps my head from swelling. One can’t have an
inflated ego when emptying the trash. While still unsure why you’re reading this, I do know marketing impacts everyone. It persuades us to try this soap or vote for that candidate. We’re all increasingly manipulated, and I want to help educate those around me. And the dialogue has been two-ways. A steady stream of ideas flow from well-meaning readers. Thanks for the guidance about ideas you’d like explored, researched, and explained. And thanks for expanding my comfort zone. So if there’s an issue you’d like to see examined, send in the idea and your thoughts how it relates to marketing, communications, or sales. Between us, perhaps we can interest others in the community. Naturally I can’t just write to help promote your business unless you’re doing something really different, marketing-wise. Unless you’re promoting Panama hats, of course. Then — let’s talk. But whatever the subject, odds are excellent there’s a marketing angle to it. If you submit it and I write about it, you’ll get full credit. After all, I’m obviously not THAT brilliant all the time! With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.
