CALTRANS

Construction crews work to stabilize a section of state Route 78 during the first weekend of the 10-day highway closure between Weekend Villa and Indian Oaks roads.

BY KAREN BRAINARD While residents commuting to Escondido or other North County locations are dealing with a lengthy detour and extended travel times this week, construction crews are working to stabilize an area of state Route 78. The stretch of highway that leads from Ramona to the San Pasqual Valley is closed between Weekend Villa Road and Indian Oaks Road, where Caltrans staged heavy equipment to get its project done in a 10-day time frame. The closure began at 9 p.m. Friday, June 9, and the road is scheduled to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, June 19. The necessary repairs under way were caused by the spring rains but are not related to the boulders that fell onto the highway from the drenched

upward slopes in late February. Instead the work is focused on the north side of the road. “It’s the down slope that’s going to be reinforced,” said Steven Shultz, Caltrans media relations officer. The down slope on the north side of the road drops 40 to 60 feet to a creek bed. According to Caltrans, when water ran through the creek during the rains, it flowed beyond the normal width of the creek, cutting into the embankment and causing a form of erosion. That affected the foundation of the road in one section where cracks can be seen in the asphalt and where between the curb and the slope a chunk of asphalt is missing. SEE CALTRANS, A3

Second dispensary receives OK to open BY KAREN BRAINARD A second medical marijuana dispensary was expected to open in Ramona this week. The dispensary at 1210 Olive St. is one of two in Ramona that had vested rights to seek an operating license despite a ban on such facilities in the unincorporated county. “We’re ready to go. We’re right there at the finish line,” Ren Bowden with San Diego Releaf said last week. Detective Michael Helms with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s licensing division said Bowden received his operating certificate on May 24. Helms said the other vested site, 618 Pine St., has not received its operating certificate yet

and he has not recently heard from its owner. In March, the county Board of Supervisors voted to ban all medical and non-medical marijuana facilities and cultivation in the unincorporated areas. Two businesses were already legally operating, ShowGrow in Ramona and Outliers in El Cajon. The applicants for the other two sites in Ramona, and for one in Valley Center that has opened, were allowed to proceed because they had approved building permits and had made substantial investments that followed county regulations before a temporary moratorium went into effect in 2016. The ban, however, has an SEE DISPENSARY, A22

Ramona High School Assistant Principal Ed VanHoose watches as senior class advisers Sherri Edwards and Birgit Leitlein lead the Class of 2017 into Bulldog Stadium as the high school band plays “Pomp and Circumstance.”

‘It’s always a great day to be a Bulldog’ BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON Of the 356 Ramona High School Class of 2017 graduates, 112 will attend four-year universities, 149 will attend community colleges, 52 will join the work force, 21 will enter military service, 12 will attend a trade or technical school, and some will go to faraway places such as Paraguay and the Philippines, Principal Tony Newman said. Newman, a 1989 RHS graduate, was among speakers at the graduation ceremony in Bullldog Stadium on June 8. Saying he planned to talk to the students as if each was his daughter or son, he told them a sign above the door in his family’s home reads, “Newmans can do hard things,” but for graduation night it reads, “RHS graduates can SEE GRADUATION, A14

SHERIFF’S REPORTS

KAREN BRAINARD

Bumper-to-bumper traffic heads west out of town for the morning commute down state Route 67 with vehicles backed up past Hunter Street. Drivers are seeing more traffic during morning and evening commutes on SR-67 due to the temporary closure of state Route 78. FROM CALTRANS, A1 To reinforce the slope, Caltrans is creating a 150-foot-long retaining wall, about 10- to 12-feet high with a concrete face. In addition, in that section the road will be reconstructed from the centerline north to the down slope, said Shultz. Heavy equipment is required for the job where there is little shoulder along the roadway. “The equipment actually needs to be on the road,” Shultz said. The lengthy detour extends from Cloverdale Road/San Pasqual Road on the west to Main Street/State Route 67 on the east. Those residents living on Indian Oaks Road or farther west have to access their properties from the San Pasqual Valley while those on Weekend Villa Road must enter from the Ramona side.

Because the highway is totally shut down between those two roads, Shultz said emergency services were contacted. Those on Indian Oaks Road will be served by San Pasqual or Escondido emergency services during the road closure, he said. Westbound motorists are being 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. Eastbound motorists follow the same detour in the opposite direction. Shultz said there has been much effort to notify the public through the press, social media, and Caltrans’ stakeholder list. Anyone with questions may call Caltrans public information office at 619-688-6670 or for more information visit www.dot.ca.gov/d11, www.twitter.com/SDCaltrans, or Caltrans District 11 on Facebook.

Thousands of dollars worth of tools were stolen from a garage and truck in the 700 block of B Street around midnight June 4, according to the sheriff’s Ramona station. The stolen items included $8,962 worth of power tools, $5,086 worth of miscellaneous tools, and hand tools adding up to a value of $9,618. Also taken were a $300 stereo unit, $220 worth of communications equipment, a flashlight and two pairs of gloves, stated the report. The victim is a mechanical contractor, said the sheriff’s department. Another burglary occurred at the Mt. Woodson Golf Course, 16400 block of North Woodson Drive, when someone broke into the Pro Shop around 1:45 a.m. June 7 and stole $3,000 worth of clothing and $1,500 worth of miscellaneous items. Sgt. Robert Samuels said the front door of the Pro Shop was shattered and the alarm sounded. In other reports at the Ramona station:

Dumping Paris Accord not a big deal BY STEVE YANKE Rebuttal to Susan Conrad Commentary: “Protect planet for the future,: June 8. I love the planet, I protect this planet. My wife and I paid extra for a hybrid car. My ice plant is dead because we quit watering it to save California water. I have always tried to take home more trash than I brought, leaving the places I visit a little better off than when I got there. AND, we have had solar on our house for over 20 years, proving that conservatives are modern forward thinking people, too, and liberals are not the only ones that care for the Earth and our environment. I get a chuckle out of the left’s dire predictions when it comes to Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord. To listen to them, all the planet’s protecting progress is going to stop, the seas are going to rise, and tomorrow we will wake up and be choking down 1970s polluted air. This hype is ridiculous and it makes it hard for me to take the left serious. From my understanding the Accord forced the U.S. to improve our standards, at a HUGE cost to the people of the United States, via increased energy costs, across the board. The Accord gave billions of American dollars to foreign entities to entice them to do the same, but there are little to no guarantees that those countries would do what they promised to do. Our government is trillions of dollars in debt, and the American people are hurting, especially the middle class. This appears to be nothing more than a huge transfer of wealth that our middle class will ultimately fund. According to Trump, it is a bad deal and Americans would suffer. I agree with Trump; he put Americans first. We made all the huge gains with respect to taking care of the planet without the Paris Climate Accord and the progress will go forward without the agreement. Susan’s insinuations that those who support Trump’s position to pull out of the Paris Accord are responsible for the loss of jobs in the U.S. are wrong. The Paris Accord has nothing to do with the loss of these jobs. These jobs will go to the cities/states that have the best business environment for the companies’ success. Here in California, Democrats control the regulations and tax rates that have the greatest affect on the overall business environment— not Duncan Hunter or Joel Anderson, or any of the other conservatives who support Trump’s decision to put Americans first. Indeed these fine representatives and patriots FIGHT the very Big Government Democrat-imposed regulations and taxes that are forcing the jobs and middle class out of CA. We could use more Duncan Hunters and Joel Andersons in CA. Steve Yanke is a proud conservative, proud protector of our planet and proud Ramona resident.

Seniors resort to peddling drugs The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has classified Oxycodone an opiate, a Schedule II narcotic. Oxycodone pills are taken orally to help relieve moderate to chronic intense pain in patients. It is highly addictive and its potential for abuse is great. This drug is designed for slow release over a 12-hour period. But if several pills are taken at once, it induces a euphoric high within 10 minutes. A mid-level drug dealer from Sacramento, Ajellon Dedeaux (now incarcerated), has found ample customers for his products. "The difficult part was finding a steady supply of legal drugs, like prescription opiates," he is quoted as saying. Dedeaux bought his supply from eager Social Security retirees, who can make $20 per pill on the black market. He described it as highly lucrative and easy money. Once seniors find they can make about $3,600 a month, they quickly become hooked, not by the drug per se, but by the fast cash flow they can receive. "People, especially in rural communities, see nothing wrong in selling or sharing prescription medications. It's now a culturally accepted thing," said Sharon Walsh, director of the University of Kentucky Center for Drug and Alcohol Research. Captain Jeff Orr, president of the Ohio Task Force Commanders Association, said "Seniors are unfazed about being sentenced to jail. If we get information about sellers, we're following up on it, but are they going to prison for it? No!" Judges and juries are reluctant to sentence senior citizens to prison because they're afraid of the bad publicity associated with that.

Another social side effect of opiate use is the growing trend of grandchildren moving in with their grandparents because the parents are strung out on drugs, or in a drug treatment facility or in prison. Nationwide more than 2.6 million people were rearing grandchildren in 2015, reported the AARP Bulletin newspaper. "This epidemic is overwhelming many families and child welfare systems," said Jaia Peterson Lent of a Washington-based advocacy group co-founded by AARP. Retired Americans have had their golden years tarnished by having to rear kids all over again. These grandparents never realized the predicament they would be in. Everyone thinks there's a magic pill for whatever ails them. Physicians play an integral part in the prescription drug business by buying pharmaceutical drugs pitched to them by salespeople and then prescribing them to their patients. Peter Quercia Ramona

Congress must impeach Trump As a young midshipmen at the US. Naval Academy we all followed an honor code that was straightforward: "I will not lie or steal nor tolerate anyone who does." Military officers understand that the very lives of others in combat depend on adherence to this exacting standard. No matter the personal cost, an adherence to telling the truth in all cases was paramount for the good of the nation. Is not this basic concept even more important for a nation’s president and commander-in- chief? Do not our very freedoms depend on basic honesty from all in government? A nation of citizens that tolerates deliberate lying and deceit has a dim future. True and great leaders lead by example, set high standards, and demand that those standards be met by themselves and others. No honest leader puts self-interest, party loyalty, or anything else above the truth. It is abundantly clear that this current president is unfit for office and routinely lies to SEE LETTERS, A5

Simple solution to healthcare crisis BY POLLY MEYERS o you are asking, “Why the heck are those old fogies sitting in folding chairs on Highway 67 holding signs about Medicare?” To the first part of the question, we’re sitting in chairs because most of us have old bodies that can’t stand for too long! To the second part of the question, why would we be taking our time and energy to promote Medicare for everyone when most of us are already on Medicare? I’ll try to explain. This group of “old fogies” have been around the block a few times. We‘ve watched as the cost to run for political office has risen to astounding numbers. In 2016, presidential candidates spent a little over $1,461,300,000. Yes, that is nearly one and a half BILLION dollars. The House received donations of $114,519,419 and the senate $54,036,705 (fec.gov/disclosurep/pnational.do). Once elected, those who do get into office know they must find ways to pay back donors or they will not receive the funds needed to get re-elected. Unfortunately, that means their decisions and the bills they sponsor are often made not because it is the right or best thing to do for the American people, but rather to pay back their major donors. No longer having “absolute” confidence in our elected officials, we older “sign holding sitters” have decided to promote good ideas and programs. I’m sure you’re curious to know if we are a political group. To tell you the truth, I don’t know if the people sitting to the left or right of me are Democrats,

FROM LETTERS, A4 the American people. President Trump has broken faith with the nation that elected him. Congress must impeach this corrupt president to restore America’s honor. America will only be great again when its elected leaders will not lie or steal nor tolerate anyone in government who does. George Eastwood Ramona

Something to think about In California and in many other states, children are legally responsible for their parents’ debts — regardless of how your parents treated you or provided for you. If you were conceived by rape, but your father’s parentage is established, and he has legal or health issues — those expenses can become your responsibility. This law is not often enforced, but things change and it is on the books. If your parents have pre-existing

Independents, or Republicans. What I do know is that we are in the later part of our lives and want to make this world a better place for all Americans — now and in the future. One of the issues we’ve chosen to tackle is healthcare. Knowing that nothing is perfect, we have come to the conclusion that expanding Medicare to cover everyone in America is the best, most expeditious, and cost effective option we have at this time to address the health care crisis. Following is a list of some of the reasons. • Medicare has successfully been insuring people for over 50 years. • Medicare will cover over 55 million people this year. • Medicare has no pre-existing conditions exclusions. • Medicare has 20% co-pay and low deductibles. • Medicare allows you to keep your doctors (unless you choose to join an HMO option). • Medicare allows individuals to upgrade their coverage by purchasing secondary insurance. • Medicare has effective electronic systems in place including billing and deposits. • Medicare already has negotiated fees with doctors, hospitals, and other health professionals. • Medicare coverage is the same in any state. Is Medicare perfect? No. But it is has a great framework that has been serving people for many years and can easily provide coverage for everyone very

conditions, but otherwise sacrificed and attempted to give everything to their children, the financial burden for their underfunded health and retirement issues are now yours. And that could be a big bite with no Social Security or Medicare. If you have a child, and then another, and the first or the second becomes disabled, those medical expenses are now yours. And eventually your other child may be made to assume financial responsibility for your debts. And maybe that child will have to forgo having children of their own. Are you proud of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, despite the difficulties you had with your dysfunctional parent? Are you ready to pay your parents' bills? Look up the law. Stop this take on children before it happens, and protect the safety network of our society. There is a reason these debt laws are in place — someone plans on benefiting from them. Like corporations. Janine Moniot Ramona

quickly. Certainly changes could be made that would benefit all of us and lower costs for everyone. I’ve included a few of my personal favorites. Because outcome studies prove enhanced dental and chiropractic coverage lessens medical costs and suffering in the long run, Medicare benefits need to be increased in those areas. Especially important, Medicare must be allowed to negotiate lower drug prices as does Medicaid and veterans’ benefits. This simple allowance would cut Medicare costs by 10%. Unfortunately pharmaceutical companies lobby and donate to both parties and the result has been a gift to drug companies. Because we will need more doctors, expanding treatments and procedures for which a chiropractic doctor can be reimbursed would immediately lessen that burden. Chiropractors pass the same national boards as medical doctors and are licensed to do many procedures not presently covered by Medicare. Let your representatives know of this simple solution to the healthcare crisis. This is not Democrat, Republican, or Independent. This is for young to old. This is for every race and religion. With enough voices, we can make a huge difference. Now that you know why we are sitting on Highway 67, honk and wave — it makes our day. Wishing you good health.

High praise for Station No. 81 BY ED ANDERSON ubject: Our paramedic service in the San Diego Country Estates Friday night, May 19, about 11:30 I was sitting at my desk. A pain across my chest began. I was sure it was indigestion. As time went on and home remedies tried, the pain level increased. Having had heart surgery (cabbage, four-way bypass), I began to get suspicious. I had two bottles of nitro tablets; one expired in 2010 and the other 2013. The latter date nitro had some spark, so I tried more self-diagnoses. Not having made nay progress, I woke my wife and had her get dressed. It was getting close to 1 a.m. when I call 911, which is the heart of this letter. I told Fire Station No. 81, located here in the estates, that it is not too serious, so please don’t sound the sirens or use all those flashing lights. They met me halfway and did not sound the sirens, however there was a sea of

flashing lights. Those EMTs and firemen came in, no more than 10 minutes from a dead sleep, alert and ready for any challenge. I have never witnessed a crew more prepared to assess a problem and work toward a resolution. Together we decided I should go to the hospital. I only remember Brett and Matt, the EMTs that cared for me on the trip. They were attentive, administering an IV and conversing with the hospital. When we arrived at Pomerado Hospital, the attendants were ready to stabilize and diagnose my problem (serious gallbladder infection and stones, which are no longer with me). I cannot give enough praise to our local EMTs and fire crews at Station No. 81. That was a job well done and makes my wife and I feel very comfortable in knowing we are watched over 24/7. Thank you so much, guys and lady! Ed Anderson is a Ramona resident.

Head-on leads to DUI arrest A 24-year-old Ramona man was arrested for misdemeanor DUI after his truck hit a vehicle head-on on state Route 67 near the Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection last Tuesday, reported the California Highway Patrol. The man, driving a 2002 Ford F-150, was northbound on SR-67 just before 11:30 p.m. June 6 when his truck drifted over the double yellow lines and struck a 1993 GMC pickup truck, said CHP Officer Kevin Pearlstein. The driver of the GMC, a 57-year-old Ramona man, was not injured, but both trucks had major front end damage, according to the report. Neither vehicle had passengers. The 24-year-old was treated at the scene for lacerations to his arms and legs, said Pearlstein, and there were witnesses at the scene.

Motorcyclist airlifted A motorcyclist driving over 100 mph on state Route 78 lost control and struck a utility pole around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, reported the California Highway Patrol. The 28-year-old Chula Vista man was about 1.2 miles east of Magnolia Avenue when he hit the pole, said CHP Officer Kevin Pearlstein. He suffered major lacerations to his abdomen and mouth, back pain, and other injuries, and was airlifted to Palomar Hospital. Pearlstein said a CHP officer had observed the motorcyclist speeding and attempted to go after him.

‘It’s never too late,’ principal tells graduates BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON There is no greater pain than regret, Principal Dave Lohman told Montecito High, Future Bound, and Adult Education graduates at their commencement ceremony. “It’s never too late,” Lohman said, commenting on an observation he and Ramona High Principal Tony Newman made during the Senior Walk through Ramona Elementary School a day before the outdoor graduation ceremony on June 7. “We observed a group of first-graders to our side having the best of times,” he said. “As we watched those young children dancing

and loving their experience, we wondered what happened to these carefree moments.” People lose that enthusiasm and zest for life for many reasons, he said, “but regardless of the reasons their enthusiasm wanes, I want you to remember, it’s never too late.” He repeated that theme throughout his talk. Using himself as an example, he said he dropped out of college after three years and joined the Navy. He returned to college and at age 30 became a teacher. By age 57 he was principal “of the greatest school on the planet. It’s never too late,” he said. Montecito High School, one of Ramona Unified School District’s alternative programs, had 39 Class of 2017 graduates. Among them was Thalia Cervantes. Ramona’s Adult Education Program graduated 15 in its Class of 2017. One was Thalia’s mother, Yolanda Cervantes. The Future Bound Independent Study Program had 17 in its Class of 2017. “Many students sitting before you danced as first-graders, but then somewhere along the way lost that dream and in doing so lost their enthusiasm and zeal,” noted Lohman. “But every graduating senior here before you somehow found a way to fight through challenges and obstacles and are proof that it’s never too late.” To rise above the average, to learn something new, “to feel good again” takes commitment, said Lohman, encouraging those at the ceremony to “remember these

four words:” • Committed, meaning one is dedicated and loyal to a cause. • Courage, the ability to do something that frightens you – “strength in the face of pain or grief.” • Resilient, the ability to overcome. “Get back up when you are knocked down.” • Heart – courage and enthusiasm. Lohman told families and friends of the graduates “your student’s fingerprints are all over this school and district.” Among

examples: Hanson Elementary Building Buddies, a partnership of Montecito High construction students and Hanson fifth-graders to build Adirondack chairs for the elementary school; construction students remodeling rooms and building planter boxes; and Montecito High students volunteering at Ramona Elementary fairs, dances and carnivals, and mentoring the younger students. For the first time, Montecito students competed in Skills USA and earned gold,

While waiting for the new vines to produce good grapes, Sapier started winemaking immediately. In 2011, she started using her estate grapes to make wine.

Author Joyce Strand focuses on familiar turf for new series BY KAREN BRAINARD his November, expect to find a mystery in Ramona. Author Joyce Strand said the main character of her new mystery comes to Ramona to buy a vineyard, but that’s about all she revealed, other than the character is spun off from her Brynn Bancroft series. She did mention she wants to include local spots in her book, but quickly added, “But the characters will all be fictional.” The Ramona author has nine books to her credit, all mysteries, in what has become a second career for her. “I never dreamed of being an author but I always thrived on writing,” she said. When given the option on school tests of answering multiple choice questions versus writing an essay, Strand said she always chose the essay. Strand, who grew up in Pennsylvania, worked in public relations in the bio-tech and high-tech industries in the San Francisco area for 30 years. To write press releases and work with the media, Strand noted she had to really learn about the products she represented. But in 2008, like many others during the economic downturn, she found herself laid off from work. “And for the first time, I couldn’t find a job,” she said. Her husband was already retired at that time and suggested she write books. “Write a mystery — you read enough of them,” she recalled him saying. They moved to Ramona as full-time residents in 2008. Strand attended a writer’s conference and wrote her first book about a public relations executive in the bio-tech industry who she said was nothing like her. That became her Jillian Hillcrest series. When she was given access to the memoirs of a former superior court judge, Strand created “The Judge’s Story” set in 1939. “I love doing historical mysteries,” she said. “The Reporter’s Story” was set in 1912.

Ramona author Joyce Strand displays some of her mystery books. The core of Strand’s contemporary books are real crimes in California but the characters are fictional, she said. “I use the news,” Strand said as to how she conceives the stories. “There’s some crimes’ stranger than fiction.” Strand publishes her books, using digital printing, and works with a structural editor, copy editor, proofreader, cover artist, and other professionals. Strand said she writes at least five drafts of every book and tries to generate 5,000 words per day, which could take anywhere from three to five hours. “I can write quickly if I’ve got it all figured out,” she noted. John Grisham, she said, is probably her favorite mystery writer, adding she learns a lot when reading his books. Last weekend, Strand was set to attend the California Crime Writers Conference hosted by Sisters in Crime/Los Angeles and the SoCal Mystery Writers of America in Culver City. An added bonus was going to be

seeing her young granddaughter. Strand’s son and daughter and their families live in the L.A. area. Besides writing, Strand has another passion — collecting cows. “I don’t know how I got interested in cows,” she laughed. Her affection for cows increased, as did her collection, after she was introduced to the CowParade. The artist-created cows began in the 1990s and the public art is staged in cities worldwide. Sales of the creative cows raise money for charitable organizations. Strand has shelves of miniature cows, many that are small replicas of the CowParade creations. She even has a collection of Wizard of Oz cows. That’s in addition to framed photos and paintings of cows and a variety of other cow-inspired home and garden accessories. Strand’s books are sold at Unicorn Books and Gifts in Ramona and on Amazon, and her e-books are available through Barnes and Noble. She also has a blog, “Strand’s Simply Tips.”

Author’s first book honors famous father’s life BY ROSE MARIE SCOTT-BLAIR Ramona resident Jane Constantineau’s first book, a tribute to her late father, American diplomat Jack Vaughn, has just been published. The book launch for Jane “Kill the Constantineau Gringo: The Life of Jack Hood Vaughn” will be in A Classic Tale bookshop on Saturday, June 17, at 3 p.m. A Classic Tale is at 780 Main St., Suite A. The public is invited. Vaughn had a storied career, from being a professional boxer in college to a Marine in World War II and then a U.S. ambassador to Colombia and Panama. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson appointed Vaughn as the second director of the Peace Corps. After his foreign service career ended, Vaughn led the National Urban Coalition and Planned

Parenthood during the turbulent late ‘60s and early ‘70s. “I was born in Iran in 1978 when Dad was there working on a hydroelectric development project in the style of the Tennessee Valley Authority,” Constantineau said. “It was during the Iranian Revolution, and it was a terrible time to be there. We ended up having to flee.” After that experience, Vaughn turned his focus to the environment, advising the Nature Conservancy and founding Conservation International in 1987. Constantineau said her father began writing this book of memoirs after he retired in 1992. “He worked on it very happily for about 20 years and in about 2010, he asked for my help since I was a journalist,” she said. “But I had a small child and a job at that time, and the book needed quite a bit of work, so I was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t do much with it. After he died unexpectedly in 2012, the

chronologically since his life took so many unexpected twists and turns.” She added content, background, and details about his jobs from talking to former colleagues who were still alive. Then it took another year to find a publisher, but she did, with Rare Bird Books. “The title, ‘Kill the Gringo,’ relates to a story from his boxing days, but it applies to his whole career because he had a lot of brushes with death,” said Constantineau. “He had so many harrowing incidents and more than nine lives, surviving WWII battles, a Bolivian lynch mob, assassination attempts in Panama, and multiple plane crashes.” Constantineau’s only regret is that her father didn’t live to see the book published. But she was so inspired by working on it that she has started a memoir writing business to help others share their stories. (See janeconstantineau.com.) She has a journalism degree from Northwestern University and worked in the nonprofit world as a writer for 10 years. She and her husband, Dan, moved to San Diego Country Estates in Ramona in October. He is the information systems manager at San Diego County Water Authority, and they have two children: Evie, 9, and Andy, 5. How will Jane’s first book be received? Well, here’s what Chic Dambach, former president of the National Peace Corps Association, has to say: “Jack Hood Vaughn lived an extraordinary life of vigor, joy and achievement. His intellect was sharp, and his values impeccable. All of these qualities come to life in ‘Kill the Gringo.’ It is among my favorite books of all time.”

Dawn Perfect with Ramona Parks & Recreation Association posts this photo on Facebook of a white truck that reportedly did doughnuts on the adult softball fields, leaving deep ruts in the field.

Truck takes joy ride, damages softball field Ramona Parks and Recreation Association officials were upset to find the adult softball field torn up after occupants of a pickup truck appeared to have taken a joy ride. Dawn Perfect, RPRA executive director, posted photos on Facebook that someone took of a white pickup truck in the adult softball field Saturday evening, June 3, before dark. “It made deep ruts that are obstacles for athletes when running,” she said of the damage caused by the truck, which was also seen doing doughnuts in the dirt infield. After Perfect posted the photos on Facebook, she received a lot of comments and shares, as well as a lead on the responsible party. “These culprits have not been unidentified. They’re just not identified to me,” she said. Perfect said she hopes they come forward, apologize, and offer to help repair the fields. —Karen Brainard

Republican women to ‘Celebrate America’ Meeting to feature Mike Slater Mike Slater, host of “The Mike Slater Show” on KFMB radio, will be the guest speaker at Intermountain Republican Women Federated’s last meeting of the season on Monday, June 26. The meeting, which also is Mike Slater the group’s June fundraiser, will be in Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane, and will start at 5:45 p.m. Social time will be at 5:15. “Celebrate America” will be the theme of the evening. Dinner will be $20 per person. A patriotic basket will be the silent auction item, and opportunity drawings will be held. In addition to his weekday shows on KFMB-AM, Slater hosts Glenn Beck’s The Blaze Radio on Saturdays. He has hosted “Mike Slater: Young Conservative” on SiriusXM PATRIOT and filled in on Glenn Beck’s television and radio shows. Slater, 32, is a graduate of Yale University, where he majored in history. He was selected among the top five “Young Guns” of talk radio

last year and conducted a 90-minute interview with President Donald Trump in the Trump Tower board room. Where other talk hosts may use anger, frustration, and hopelessness to talk about current events, Slater tells stories that connect to eternal principles and conservative values, said the meeting announcement. “Mike speaks to the conservative heart by focusing on the five values that most inspire a virtuous life: curiosity, gratitude, hope, zest, and love,” the announcement said. Reservations for the meeting are requested by June 19. Ramona residents with last names ending in A through L may call Pam Sturgeon at 760-703-9963 for a reservation. Those whose last names end in M through Z may call Millie Klein at 760-788-5801, and Julian/Santa Ysabel residents may call Mary Lou Jones at 760-765-1725.

Rincon Band pledges $300,000 to expand emergency services City News Service—The Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians pledged $300,000 to help build out the Emergency Department at Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, the hospital announced Thursday. Funding for the Palomar Health Foundation will pay for new patient treatment rooms that include state-of-the-art medical beds, monitors, technology and lifesaving equipment, along with additional clinical support space, hospital officials said. The project will fill in a shell that was built for the new space during construction of the hospital. “When considering how to make our donations meaningful to the North County, we wanted to make an investment that benefits as many people as possible,” said Bo Mazzetti, Rincon chairman. According to Dr. Jaime Rivas, emergency

services medical director at Palomar Health, the emergency department sees an average of about 300 patients per day, a number he expects to climb in the future. The emergency department has 52 beds, which will climb by 14 when the work is completed by the end of this year. The expansion will also reduce wait times, he said. When the department opened five years ago, hospital officials expected to serve about 60,000 patients annually. The actual number has been over 100,000. As North County's only trauma center, Palomar Medical Center treats victims of car accidents, heart attacks, strokes, snake bites, head injuries, and the like. The Rincon contribution will be made over three years, with installments of $100,000 contributed annually.

FROM GRADUATION, A1 do hard things.” “As you leave the field tonight, I want you to know that you can do hard things,” he said, adding they already have shown they can. Change is hard and this class experienced many changes, said Newman. Academically, they went from state to Common Core standards, they went from traditional math to integrated math, and their teachers’ approach switched to make them self-regulated learners, “which meant you took on much of the responsibility for your own learning and growth,” he said. “Getting here tonight has required you to work hard, study hard, and fight hard,” he said. Newman outlined academic, activity, and sports successes the class achieved. More than 100 seniors earned the Golden State Seal Merit diploma, 36 earned the State Seal of Biliteracy, 28 graduated with cum laude honors, 22 with magna cum laude, and 28 with summa cum laude. “Additionally, this graduating class has been awarded over $500,000 in academic and athletic scholarships,” he said. “That is not easy to accomplish.” Among other examples of achievements, Newman noted that the school’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps earned Distinguished Unit with Academic Honors for the seventh consecutive year, the food compost and food waste reduction program received state and national recognition, and the school’s agriculture, technical education, and culinary arts programs received medals and awards. Gwendalyn Gibson led the Cycle Dawgs team and rode her way to state champion as well as having county supervisors declaring May 2 Gwendalyn Gibson Day in San Diego County, continued Newman. “Competing in sports is hard in any division,” he said, bringing attention to the girls volleyball team that earned league championship, the boys basketball team that earned the league title, and the softball team that obtained No. 1 ranking in the county to make school history. Laughter followed Newman’s reminder that it wasn’t easy for the seniors to list the school for sale on craigslist or for the seniors who “somehow figured out how to hang a For Sale sign on top of the RHS PAW building.” “While we did receive many calls inquiring as to the purchase price of the high school, the mistake you made and the reason we could not strike a deal with any potential buyers is because you insisted on including the underclassmen in the sale price,” noted Newman. No matter what challenges or difficulties they face in the future,

“I want to remind you that you are ready,” said Newman. “I sincerely hope that you will tackle what comes your way with Bulldog tenacity and fight … As you leave here, please do so holding your head high and have confidence, knowing you have accomplished hard things already.” Class of 2017 graduate Olivia Jensen sang the national anthem at the ceremony. Emma Smith, Associated Student Body president, spoke of her admiration for her fellow graduates and told them, Seniors look for relatives and friends in the stands as they enter the Emma Smith tells classmates they “When you walk across that stage, stadium. are whoever they want to be. you are whoever you want to be.” Salutatorian Samantha Shupe said that, as they start the next chapter in their lives, “no matter where we all go, we’ll still be Ramona kids at heart.” She will attend Northeastern University in Boston and others will go to schools throughout the state and country, she said, noting, “I will miss the ‘only in Ramona’ jokes, the dairy smell, and of course the wonderful sight of a tractor driving down the street.” Valedictorian Kaley Sapper told classmates to enjoy their time in the spotlight and thank themselves Trustee Dawn Perfect presents Sean Duffy adjusts his tassel as classmates check the stands for “for a job well done, and thank familiar faces when they enter the stadium. everyone who supported you to get Rosemary Young with her diploma. here.” Before ending her speech, she told her classmates, “one more thing — Smile!” Then she turned around and used her cell phone to take a selfie with the Class of 2017 behind her. Before giving the microphone to Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., to formally accept the Class of 2017, Newman said, “Have confidence in yourself because you have been prepared and as Ramona High School alumni you are ready to do hard things. My last words to you as principal, please let me remind you one more District administrators and time, ‘It’s always a great day to be trustees enter the stadium. a Bulldog.’”

Senior center stages 12th annual rib fest

amona’s 12th Annual Rib & Chicken Fest attracted a steady stream of guests who filled the Olive Peirce Middle School cafeteria on Saturday to enjoy an all-you-can-eat meal, bid on numerous silent auction items and opportunity drawing baskets, purchase desserts in the bake sale area, and tour the outdoor craft booths – all to support the Ramona Senior Center Nutrition Program. Event chair Pete Bakarich said Monday he did not yet know how much the eight-hour event raised for the center, but judging by the number of people who attended, the fundraiser was a success.

Lora Cicalo, Ramona Senior Center’s head cook and acting director, talks with announcer Bill Tamburrino about organizations and individuals to add to his list of rib fest sponsors and opportunity drawing basket and silent auction donors.

Ramona Senior Center Board members Nancy Walker, Bob Krysak, and Amber Ramirez sell tickets at the entrance.

Frank T. ‘Jim’ Seyboth, Jr. October 21, 1918 - June 6, 2017

RamOna — Frank Theodore Seyboth Jr. (Jim) was born October 21, 1918 in Denver, CO, the third son of Frank T. Seyboth and Beatrice L. Giguerre. Jim came to California in 1939 to work in a Ford garage in San Diego. an army/air Force veteran, Jim served in England and France during World War II as an aircraft mechanic. Following his time in the service, Jim returned to his work as a Ford mechanic in San Diego, where he met and married the love of his life, norma Jane Homesy. Jim soon found work with the United States Civil Service, and he worked

at north Island for nearly 30 years developing and implementing industrial time standards. after retirement in 1973, Jim passed his time with norma, his constant

companion, growing oat hay and raising beef cattle on their small farm in Ramona. Jim and norma went fishing and camping in the Cuyamaca and Laguna mountains. Jim loved antique Ford cars (though he never considered them antiques), and he often spoke in his later years about the 1934 Ford two door coupe convertible that he bought when he was 21 for $340. He was an expert on old Fords and even in his 90’s he could identify engine parts and their function which would be a mystery to modern mechanics. a genuine Jack of all Trades, Jim loved to weld

and to make things in his workshop at home. He repaired his own vehicles and farm equipment and he personally built his home in Ramona where he lived for more than 60 years. Jim was preceded in death by his wife, norma; and his stepson, William F. milford. He is survived by his son, Jeremiah Reid; daughter-in-law, Katherine Reid; and grandchildren, Galen and marney Reid. Bonham Bros & Stewart mortuary and Cremation Service is assisting the family. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

Ramona — Lillian murphy passed away peacefully at the age of 94. Born to James and Florence Steeves, she was raised in Connecticut. She worked in the clerical vocation for various companies in and around the Bridgeport/Fairfield area. The family moved from Connecticut to Spring Valley and remained there for many years. Following the passing of her husband, Lillian moved to Washington State and remained there until 2001 when she moved to Ramona. Lillian was preceded in death by her husband of 44 years, Earl; and son, Gary. She is survived by her sister, Doris Farmer of Fairfield, CT; brother, Ronald Steeves of ocala, FL; son and daughterin-law, Skip and Sarah, of Ramona. She also has four grandchildren, Pamela, nicki, David and

Shawn; as well as nine great-grandchildren. a very independent woman, Lillian was an avid reader of both books and her Bible. She will be missed by her family and her friends. a memorial will be held on Saturday, June 24, 2017 at 11am, at the Grace Community Church, 1234 Barger Place, Ramona.

Ramona High School mountain bike racing Skills for life and a way of life

BY KRISTIN BAUER-BROWN Ask most people what sports they competed in during high school, and it’s unlikely you’ll hear mountain bike racing. Even though it is a sport growing in popularity, competitive mountain biking still isn’t offered at most high schools in California. But’s that’s not the case at Ramona High School. The Ramona “Cycle Dawgs” have been making a name for themselves for the past seven years under the supervision and dedication of head coach Robert Grace, who is also a teacher at the high school. This past year, 14 student athletes represented Ramona High School in the SoCal Mountain Bike Racing League, under NICA, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association. The Cycle Dawgs’ hard work paid off in the series, placing sixth overall in a field of 13 Division 1 teams. The racers’ training included logging dozens of miles every week to build endurance, including fast paced single track riding, required to prepare for challenging courses during the race season. The regular season was capped off with the California State Finals that took place at Hellman Ranch in Petaluma last month. The race brings together the fastest and most skilled racers from Southern California and Northern California for a competition that determines the best of the best. Ramona’s recent graduate and varsity racer Gwendalyn Gibson did not disappoint at the big event and last race of her high school mountain bike racing career, defending her state championship title with yet another win. It’s a level of success Gibson said she never imagined when she joined the Cycle Dawgs as a freshman. Gibson’s high school years spent mountain bike racing may be over, but without question the sport has shaped the course of her life. Gibson has secured her spot on the national team for USA Cycling and will also attend Colorado Mesa University in

Also on the horizon for Gibson is her goal to race — and win gold — at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. “Being a part of the Cycle Dawgs team taught me a lot about perseverance,” she said. “It helps you learn to keep trying when things get tough.” High school mountain bike racing also directly influenced Gibson’s career path, sparking her interest in the science behind training. “Now I’m going to study kinesiology and I hope to train Olympic level athletes,” she said. Junior varsity racer Andrew Finley, who also graduated last Thursday, competed with the Cycle Dawgs for four years and a total of 24 races. He said he learned a lot from some of his most challenging experiences on the race course, including running across the finish line, carrying his bike, in scorching heat, because of a broken chain — not once, but twice.

“It taught me how to be self-reliant both on and off the trail,” said Finley. “It also taught me to be mentally tough, even when the going gets tough.” That mental toughness will no doubt help Finley in his future endeavors, including attending Grossmont College and being a coach for the freshman football team at Ramona High School. Another Ramona High graduate and JV racer, Sean Duffy, also competed all four years for the Cycle Dawgs, without missing a race. Duffy credits competitive mountain biking for how he learned to manage his health, his schedule, and develop problem solving and leadership skills. “When you have a (mechanical) problem during a race, you have to handle it yourself,” said Duffy. “If you get help from the sidelines, you are penalized.” Being a part of the Cycle Dawgs has helped prepare Duffy for his next chapter with the U.S. Army, where he will be maintaining and repairing drones. “I have the strength and endurance for military training,” he said. “The team also taught me about hard work, sacrifice, and that keeping a good attitude is the most important tool I have.” Varsity racer and recent RHS graduate Marissa Talle said being a Cycle Dawg in high school taught her an important life lesson. “No matter how difficult your path may seem, there’s always going to be another path for you to take,” she said. Talle plans to study marine biology at Palomar College in the fall, but mountain biking will still be a big part of her life. She said she will ride because she enjoys it and it keeps her in shape, but that’s not all. “Most importantly, I’ve been training for mini-triathlons,” said Talle. Along with Coach Grace, the team is supported and trained by several assistant coaches: Ron Bacas, Rodney Linder, and Dave Heiar, as well as family members who spend exciting weekends out of town cheering on these amazing athletes. All Ramona High School students interested in mountain biking should consider joining the team, which will begin training for the next season in the fall. They may contact Grace for more information: rgrace@ramonausd.net.

CARL, an 8-month-old Ameri-

can mix guinea pig, is looking for a new home! He was brought in by his previous owner after he wasn’t very social with their other pig, so we think he deﬁnitely prefers the bachelor life. But who can blame him? Carl is a no-fuss, no-muss kind of pig who prefers to do his own thing without too much responsibility. He’s not used to be handled too much, so a patient family who will help him to be more brave and social would be fantastic! Offer him some fresh veggies and he’ll be yours forever! Carl is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

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.

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 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.

FROM DISPENSARY, A1 amortization clause that gives the legal dispensaries five years to operate with a possible six-month extension to recoup their investments before shutting down. Recovering the investments could be more difficult with a proposed increase in the licensing fee. Bowden said he received a letter regarding fee renewal, stating the fee is proposed to increase about five times the original amount. “Now, increasing the costs but not the time to recover,” he said. Helms said the Board of Supervisors will review proposed changes in a variety of regulatory fees on June 20. The current licensing fee for a dispensary is $11,017; the increase proposed is $49,460, he said. “It’s based on full cost recovery,” said the detective. Bowden had also planned to grow his product when he purchased the 2.8-acre property on Olive Street, as did

the owners of ShowGrow and of 618 Pine St., but the ban prevents them from adding cultivation. Bowden said he will be buying wholesale from the medical marijuana operation at the site of the former Santa Ysabel Resort and Casino, where the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel is leasing part of the property to growers who cultivate and distribute cannabis to legal dispensaries. Bowden said it is the only legal source of medical cannabis in the county. He also noted that he is not supportive of a group that wants an initiative to repeal the ban as that could leave the door wide open to cannabis businesses in the unincorporated county. Bowden, who worked on a compromise with the Ramona Community Planning Group and the other two local dispensary owners to allay concerns, said being part of Ramona is important to him and he plans to continue working with the community.

Neil also had four triples, 11 home runs, and 37 runs driven in. "She is a total package of an athlete," Wright said of Neil.

Her six stolen bases ranked third
