Fireworks fundraising in high gear BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON With just two and a half weeks until Independence Day, Ramona Rotarians have shifted fundraising efforts into high gear. Their eye is on the $30,000 goal needed to stage the 24th Annual July 4th Family Picnic & Fireworks. “Rotary will light up the sky on the Fourth of July,” said Kim Lasley, event chair and Ramona Rotary president.
The community’s Independence Day celebration will be on the fields behind Olive Peirce Middle School, 1521 Hanson Lane, from 5 to 9:30 p.m. The fireworks will start at 9. Individuals, families, businesses and organizations are pitching in, and so far about $10,000 has been raised. With sponsorship letters mailed last week, Lasley and club treasurer Sharon
Greene are confident the community will help Rotary meet its 2016 goal. Sponsorships come in several levels: • Presenting Sponsor, $1,000 or more • Co-sponsor, $500 to $999 • Co-Host, $200 to $499 • Contributor, $100 to $199 • Supporter, $50 to $99 Sponsors need to contact Lasley by
Forest Service uneasy about new mural Cautions public about Cedar Creek Falls BY KAREN BRAINARD new mural depicting a youth jumping into the pool at the bottom of Cedar Creek Falls has caught the attention of the Cleveland National Forest Service, which wants to remind the public of current restrictions and offer tips for summertime hiking. “We’re hoping this will help alleviate a lot of safety issues,” said Olivia Walker, public affairs officer for the Cleveland National Forest. Rob Lewallen, chair of the Ramona Design Review Board, which approved the mural in April, and a member of the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural board, said he received a letter from the forest service that expressed concerns the mural would encourage people to jump off the rocks. “It came up on the mural board and we were concerned as well,” said Lewallen at the design review board’s May 26 meeting. For that reason, the muralist was directed to show the child jumping from the rocks next to the pool, he said. Called “The Old Swimming Hole,” the mural on the west wall of Leslie’s Pool Supplies, 1905 Main St., is aimed at evoking a Norman Rockwell-esque image of the days when the falls and pool were hidden gems frequented by residents. Now, to hike to the falls requires a visitor’s use permit from the forest service, and jumping from the cliffs is prohibited. Diving, rock climbing and alcohol are also not allowed. Over the years, the falls and trail gained in SEE FALLS, A3

Board approves sewer rate hikes Jim Hickle dissents BY KAREN BRAINARD Twenty cents more a day — that’s what the typical sewer customer will pay with the sewer fee increase, said one Ramona Municipal Water District director. Acknowledging that people do not like rate increases, Director Joe Zenovic said, “You want to know that your toilet is going to work when you flush it, and we have to have the money to assure that. And 20 cents a day over a whole year is 70-some-odd dollars. That’s about what we’re asking for.” Customers of the San Vicente Sewer Service Area will see a 7.5 percent increase with the annual charge rising from $670.54 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) to $720.83. Santa Maria Sewer Service Area customers will be charged 6 percent more, from $716.32 to $759.30 per EDU. The rate increases are based on a 2014 rate and fee study prepared for the district by Bartle Wells Associates. The report recommends 6 percent rate increases each year until about 2024 for Santa Maria customers and 7.5 percent annually until 2020 for San Vicente customers. By a 4-1 vote on June 14, the board approved the sewer fee increases that will become effective July 1, the start of the district’s 2016-17 fiscal year. Director Jim Hickle voted in opposition after recommending the rate increase be deferred until next year because it SEE WATER, A2

week, $1,600 has come from Saturday donations in front of the three stores, and $1,200 from Sparks canisters. Donations of any amount are welcome and will be accepted until the day of the event, said Lasley. Checks may be mailed payable to Ramona Rotary Foundation, noting the donation is for the fireworks, to Ramona Rotary Club, P.O. Box 276, Ramona, CA 92065. “For 24 years the community of Ramona and the families have come out to watch the fireworks, and now we’re seeing the next generations coming out to enjoy the fireworks,” said Lasley. Games, food, activities and entertainment are planned, with the grand finale being the skyshow backed by patriotic music broadcast over KYXY-FM radio. Those attending may bring blankets, chairs, umbrellas, non-alcoholic drinks and picnics. Radios are encouraged for use when the fireworks begin. Ramona Boy Scout Troop 768 will provide a variety of games geared to everyone from toddlers to adults starting at 5 p.m. and continuing until just before the fireworks start. The troop also will sell hot dogs, drinks and chips. Ramona Rotary Club with assistance from the Ramona Boys & Girls Club and Ramona High School cheerleaders will offer several children’s games for free from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Street tacos, nachos, sodas and water will be sold at the Los Amigos booth, and the Enchantments booth will have funnel cakes, kettle corn, cotton candy, lemonade and water. Shaved ice, Italian ice, ice cream, Italian sodas and coffee drinks will be at the Mr. Scoops booth.
appeared from accounting statements that 10 months into the budget the district underspent about $425,000 for the two sewer areas. Hickle, who commended wastewater staff for its operation of the facilities and stretching out use of equipment, said staff was able to defer 90 percent of capital replacement projects. He added that the sewer plants meet the minimum cash reserves recommended by the rate and fee study. Before the meeting’s public hearing on the proposed rates, an overview of the facilities plans for both sewer plants and planned capital improvement projects was presented by Mike Metts, the district’s contracted engineer. The plans include approximately $14 million worth of remaining projects for Santa Maria and about $4 million for San Vicente. Alex Handlers of Bartle Wells presented information on the rate and fee study and financial projections to pay for those projects. The public hearing followed, starting about an hour into the meeting and drawing five speakers, although four — Doug Kafka, Rex Gammon, Pete Bakarich and Jim Piva — presented their opposition as a group. Also speaking against the rate increase was Gary Hurst. According to the district, it received 18 protest letters from among the 7,000 parcels it serves. One concern voiced by several was the district’s proposal for a rate increase before presenting a new budget. “Without a budget how can the need for a rate increase be properly assessed?”
Students in Montecito High School’s construction class made, decorated and donated this bench for the silent auction that will be held at Ramona Rotary Club’s 24th annual July 4th Family Picnic & Fireworks.
Multi-colored glow-in-the-dark wands will be sold at the Ramona Rotary Club booth. Announcements and music will come from DJ Pat Connolly with Sound Prodigy from 5 to 9 p.m. VIP and handicapped parking will be available for those with passes or placards. General parking is in the front lots of the schools. A silent auction with a variety of themed baskets will be held. A highlight of the silent auction is the bench made, decorated and donated by the Montecito High School construction class. The bench is hand-painted and antiqued and has a patriotic theme. Ramona’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will have an information booth and will conduct a demonstration exercise.

said Kafka. Historically the board adopted a budget and any rate increases in June prior to the start of the new fiscal year. Last year the board approved sewer rate increases in June, two months before adopting a new budget. “We need to know rates before finalizing the budget,” said Richard Hannasch, RMWD chief financial officer, during his report after the public hearing. David Barnum, the district’s general manager, told board members they would be receiving a draft of the new budget at the end of the week to have time to review it and a chance to ask questions at their July 12 meeting. Public speakers also questioned whether the district was trying to maintain an excessive amount in reserves. Thomas Ace, board president, said he understands public agencies have a statutory requirement for certain levels of funds and reserves and some base their reserves on a percentage of their one-year operating expenses. “Are our reserve levels adequate to meet the needs — not excessive but not underfunded?” he asked Handlers. Handlers said the district’s reserves look to be in a reasonable range. After the board passed the rate increase, directors unanimously approved continuing the sewer availability charge for property in the San Vicente Sewer Service area, not to exceed $10 per acre per year or $10 per year for a parcel less than an acre. The fee brings in annual revenue of approximately $37,000, according to the district.

popularity with many visitors unprepared or unfit for the 6-mile-round-trip strenuous hike, leading to rescues and medical emergencies, and traffic and parking congestion at the trailhead on Thornbush Road in San Diego Country Estates. In July 2011, the trail was closed following the death of a teenage boy who fell from the cliffs. The Thornbush Road trailhead reopened in April 2013 after the forest service implemented a system requiring hikers to purchase a visitor’s use permit to walk down to the falls. One permit will accommodate five hikers and 75 permits are allowed per day. A permit costs $6 and can be purchased at www.recreation.gov. “Every weekend we sell out,” said Walker. Most hikers, she said, hit the trail between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the worst time in the summer. The temperature at the waterfall, usually dry in the summer, will be 10-15 degrees hotter than the trailhead, said Walker. The forest service is considering closing the trail on days when the temperature will be 90 degrees or hotter, giving a two-day notice and making purchased permits available for another day, she said. Hikers often do not bring enough water. When that is factored in with no shade and hot temperatures, heat exhaustion often results. The forest service recommends one gallon of water per person. “Drink consistently and drink often,” said Walker. Last year, a 23-year-old man died of heat exhaustion, she said. In 2015, between Memorial Day and Labor Day, there were approximately 100 rescues and two fatalities, all heat related, according to forest service statistics. Almost half of the rescues involved a sheriff’s department helicopter, with each estimated to cost taxpayers $10,000. Most hikers who were assisted up the trail were given water, electrolyte replacement and a protein/carb replacement, said the forest service. Only a handful were transported to the hospital. Ramona Fire Department, Cal Fire and San Diego County Fire Authority have also assisted with rescues. Volunteer trailhead hosts will check permits and whether hikers have enough water, said Walker.

Doctor calls retirement plans ‘a work in progress’ BY KAREN BRAINARD Hanging up his shingle after 36 years as a physician in Ramona, Dr. Robert Zgliniec said of his plans for retirement, “That’s a work in progress.” He does have a few activities planned: golf, two family trips and a home landscape project on his one-acre property to reduce water use. He is also looking at local opportunities to donate his medical skills. The Arch Health Partners Ramona clinic held a retirement reception for Zgliniec on June 15. He got a kick out of a humorous golf-themed decorated cake that said “Ahh retirement,” and he was able to visit with many longtime patients. The clinic had not yet selected a replacement for him, he said. Being a doctor, he said, “was really something that I enjoyed. There’s a lot of interaction with people. Some I got to know personally.” Zgliniec, who is originally from Detroit, Mich., graduated from Wayne State University School of Medicine in that city in 1971, and was a medical school classmate of another longtime Ramona doctor — Dr. Michael Barker. After Zgliniec graduated from medical school in 1971, he served four years in the U.S. Navy, which brought him to San Diego in 1973. After the military, he joined a group of doctors in North Park, but then started looking up practices in the phone book and found Barker. “I didn’t realize he was in Ramona practicing at that time,” said Zgliniec. He spent some time at Barker’s office, but also worked part time at an office in Poway, where he and his wife, Julia, had bought a house — the same one they live in today. Zgliniec, who practices internal medicine, found he liked the beautiful drive to Ramona and the smaller office, and decided to make the professional move up the hill, sharing office expenses with Barker. Some of his Poway patients followed him.

Dr. Robert Zgliniec and his wife, Julia, greet those attending the retirement reception in his honor at Arch Health Partners Ramona clinic. Over the years his medical office moved to different locations in Ramona. In 1991, Zgliniec joined the Centre for Health Care, now Arch Health Partners. At age 72, Zgliniec said he figured it’s time to retire. While he enjoys the work, he said there are more regulations with practices and he has to spend a lot of time on a computer rather than seeing patients. He also noted that his brother, who was a physician, died last February, just three months after his semi-retirement. Zgliniec and his wife have three adult sons, one who is a doctor for intensive care at Palomar Medical Center and Pomerado Hospital, and five grandchildren, ranging in age from 7 months to 6 years. The couple has a vacation planned to Hawaii with one son and his family, and a family golf outing in the desert. While all three sons golf and one of them he described as being “real good,” Zgliniec said of himself: “I’m just kind of a fair golfer, but I enjoy it a lot.”

GUEST COMMENTARY
When voting rights go right BY ALEX PADILLA If there’s one thing that every American should agree with, it’s this: Voting is the fundamental right in our democracy, the one that makes all others possible. The right to choose our representatives is why patriots dumped tea into Boston Harbor, why women marched for the 19th Amendment, and why 51 years ago people of all races joined together to win the passage of the Voting Rights Act. But one of the most insidious ideas in the 2016 election is that voting rights are negotiable. More than 20 states have enacted voting restrictions that could prevent many Americans from exercising their fundamental right to vote this November. We saw the logical outcome of these laws last month in Arizona, when local election officials closed 70 percent of polling locations in Maricopa County. We will never know how many people didn’t vote that day, frustrated by five-hour lines and overwhelmed poll workers. The reason given in Arizona was cost-cutting, but it wouldn’t have happened if the Supreme Court hadn’t done some cutting of its own in a 2013 decision that shreedded the protections in the Voting Rights Act. Before that decision, a place like Maricopa County with a history of disenfranchising people of color would have had to petition the U.S. Department of Justice before closing polling locations. But today states with a long history of racial discrimination are free to change voting rules to deprive people of their most sacred right in our democracy. If Arizona is a story of when voting rights go wrong, California wants to be an example of when voting rights go right. Our voter registration has surged leading up to the June 7 primary, driven by hotly contested presidential races for both Democrats and Republicans. As the state’s top elections official, I asked the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown for emergency funding to ensure local elections officials could hire and staff polling locations and process additional ballots. Unusual in this fractured political climate, Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature voted unanimously to approve the funding, and Gov. Brown signed AB 120. The law provides an additional $16 million to all 58 California counties to help cover costs for the June 7 presidential primary as well as the verification of ballot initiative signatures for the November general election. The money will allow the Secretary of State’s office to hire more phone interpreters for the voter hotline and conducting polling place observations in all 58 California counties. Access to information about voting is available in 10 languages. California Democrats and Republicans are working together to expand access to voting. There’s no excuse for the partisan divide in our country around voting rights. But the Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act has given free rein to those who want to try to cling to power by suppressing voter turnout. History shows that voter suppression is doomed to fail. We want as many people of all kinds to vote, regardless of their political persuasion. That’s the path to true democracy, and California is leading the way. Alex Padilla is California’s Secretary of State.

OUR READERS WRITE Great community collaboration A HUGE THANK YOU to Shelly Heimer and her Supreme Lending team for hosting the golf tournament to benefit FORUS (Friends of Ramona Unified Schools) on Friday. It was a great success, was very well planned, and all had a good time. Kudos to San Vicente Golf for awesome support. If you missed it this year, plan on attending next year. What a super example of community collaboration! All for the kids! Lynda Kubinak On behalf of FORUS
Avoid voting surprises I worked one of the precinct voting polls June 7. We had some reoccurring issues that kept popping up. First one, some people were totally unaware of their party affiliation. We had Non-Partisan folks come in who
were upset they couldn't vote for Trump but had the choice of four ballots where at least one had the choice of Hillary. It was a primary and that was the way the different parties set up the rules for this election. We accommodated the best we could and those people were given the choice of a provisional vote if they wanted. It will be up to the Registrar of Voters to determine if the vote will count. The second issue was mail ballots. Some people who came indicated that they were mail ballot individuals and wanted to vote at the polls. They did not bring in their mail ballot. They said it was lost, left at home or just didn't want to be a mail-in voter. We accommodated again to give these people the chance to vote. Again provisionally until that mail-in ballot could be accounted for. Please, before the next election in November, check www.sdvote.com to check your voting status and make any changes that need to be made to avoid any surprises when you come to the voting polls.

Comments needed on SR-67 safety plan The Route 67 Safety Subcommittee on state Route 67 public safety wants to know what residents think about adding reflective address signs along the highway. Many rural communities in San Diego County have been adding reflective highway address signs to assist emergency personnel to quickly locate residents’ homes, said Robin Maxson, a member of the Ramona Community Planning Group subcommittee. The group has the opportunity to work with
the Ramona West End Fire Safe Council to request grant funds for this public safety project, she said. Signs purchased through the grant would be free to residents who participate. The deadline to submit the grant is July 31, and the subcommittee would like residents’ interest in obtaining a sign before writing the grant proposal. Those interested should contact Kristi Mansolf at kmansolf@gmail.com or Maxson at robinjoymaxson@gmail.com.

Budget priorities
S
mart spending: The county’s new budget includes more money for public safety, mental health programs and services for the elderly. While the budget trims spending overall, it allows for the expansion of programs aimed at helping the mentally ill, including the homeless, and seniors who want to stay in their homes as they age. It includes money to develop new branch libraries in Lakeside and Casa de Oro, new fire stations in Jacumba and Pine Valley and for improvements to Lindo Lake and other East County parks. Money is also set aside for a planned equestrian center in Lakeside. Stay cool: Now that summer is here, seniors and those with disabilities need to be especially careful during the hot weather. Those looking to escape the heat can head to one of the county’s more than 115 designated “Cool Zones” across our region. Look for the Polar Bear Cool Zone sign outside these air-conditioned
locations, which include county libraries and community centers. Helping our elderly: I was glad to recently help lead the county’s latest Aging Summit, which has become the to-go event for seniors and caregivers in our region. We talked a lot about what more communities can do to better accommodate the needs of our oldest residents. As the number of San Diegans 70 and older grows, it’s critical we do all we can to help them stay in their homes and neighborhoods as long as they are able. Aging & Independence Services oversees county programs for the elderly. For more information, call 800-510-2020. For more District 2 news, go to www.diannejacob.com or follow me on Facebook and Twitter. If I can assist with a county issue, please call my office at 619-531-5522 or email dianne.jacob@sdcounty.ca.gov Have a great East County day! Dianne

The heat on Saturday may have kept some people away, but that didn’t stop the 11th Annual Ramona Community Rib & Chicken Fest from being a success. The final tally of proceeds was not available early this week, but event chair Pete Bakarich said the fundraiser made money for the Ramona Senior Center Nutrition Program. It took 3,000 pounds of baby back ribs, 800 pounds of boneless and skinless chicken thighs and 800 pounds each of potato salad and coleslaw to stage the all-you-can-eat event, held in the Charles R. Nunn Performing Arts Center at Olive Peirce Middle School from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Lora Cicalo, senior center head cook, was in charge of ordering supplies, and she coordinated all the cooking and food preparations, said Bakarich, who is well-known in the community for the barbecue sauce he makes. A major sponsor of the event, Ramona Rotary Club paid $2,000 for the billboard advertising the rib fest, said

Planners OK expansion plans for two wineries Support road safety improvements by Estates condos
Online community calendar Ramona Chamber of Commerce has acquired management and operation of RamonaEvents.com, which will make available to the community the long-sought “Holy Grail,” a coordinated community calendar. Ramona resident Tracy Engel created the site. The calendar will be kept current and will include all organizations’ events, a useful tool for both publicizing local events and coordinating the scheduling of events to minimize competitive scheduling. Ramona Chamber of Commerce encourages all organizations to notify the chamber of events scheduled so that they can be included in the calendar. The chamber further encourages organizations to consult the calendar before scheduling events to minimize diminished effectiveness resulting from competitive scheduling. This is just one more service provided by the Ramona Chamber of Commerce for the benefit of the community and the organizations that operate within our town.
BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Community Planning Group gave unanimous thumbs up to two boutique wineries that want to move to the small winery tier, and to two road safety projects during its June 2 meeting. Altipiano Vineyard and Winery and Vineyard Grant James will need administrative permits to move up to the next tier in the county’s four-tiered winery ordinance. Although Altipiano is at 20365 Camino Del Aguila, off Highland Valley Road, in unincorporated Escondido, it is in the Ramona planning area. Owner Peter Clarke said they are not seeking to do events but want to source more high-quality out-of-county grapes to make more wine. He would also like to allow 24-passenger vans to possibly reduce traffic. The boutique tier limits vans to 15 passengers. Noting that his winery is four houses back from the main road, Clarke said, “Our primary objective is keeping our neighbors happy.” Vineyard Grant James at 25260 East Old Julian Highway would like to hold events and accommodate more people. Owner Susanne Sapier said the boutique tier only allows 20 seats in the tasting room. “I’m looking to increase the seating capacity,” she said. Sapier added that she would to have weddings, lightly amplified music, catered food, and expand hours, possibly concluding events at 9 p.m. and allowing 1-1/2 hours for cleanup. Planning group chair Jim Piva said keeping the music “lightly” amplified is key so there are no complaints about noise traveling in that area.
The planning group recommended approval of administrative permits for both wineries. In road safety issues, the planners gave the green light for extending red curbing on San Vicente Road at Country Villas 2 in San Diego Country Estates. Sight issues were brought to the planning group last month following the death of Sharon Blodgett, who was killed in a collision while attempting to make a left turn from Green Haven Lane onto San Vicente Road. Many of the condominium residents say vehicles parked on San Vicente Road impedes line of sight. Murali Pasumarthi, a county engineer, worked with the Country Villas 2 homeowners association and the Estates homeowners association, recommending red curbing be installed on San Vicente Road at Country Villa Road, 235 west and 65 feet east of the intersection; at Green Haven Lane West, 235 feet west of the intersection; and at Green Haven Lane East, an additional 100 feet on the west side of the intersection. Pasumarthi also recommended 70 feet of the oleanders on the west side be removed at San Vicente and Country Villa roads. He said other issues such as speeding will be addressed at a future date, and the county will explore such options of yellow flashing beacons or vehicle speed feedback signs. The planning group also supported a county recommendation for a four-way stop at Seventh and E streets, along with the Transportation and Trails Subcommittee’s request for yellow crosswalks at that location. T & T chair Jim Cooper said the intersection is by the Boys and Girls Club and is heavily used by schoolchildren.

Republican women to end season Monday Ramona Oaks Park will be the setting for Intermountain Republican Women Federated’s June Fundraiser on Monday, June 27. Recommended check-in and social time is 5:30 p.m. The meeting will begin at 6. “Come prepared to help support the fundraiser for community needs and scholarships,” said Claudia Weringa, the group’s publicity chair. Opportunity drawings will be held, and a silent auction for a variety of gift baskets will be held. Among gift basket themes are Patriotic, Wine and Liquor. Ramona Oaks Park is at 25386 Pappas Road. Leisa Tilley Grajek, founder of K9 Guardians, will be the guest speaker. “These service dogs play a critical role in the lives of those affected by PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) or traumatic brain injury,” said Grajek. “Many of our veterans come home with these issues and other disabilities that can be helped with these dogs. We’re also trying to raise more awareness at how helpful to veterans with PTSD having a service dog can be. We lose 22 veterans a day to suicide. More service dogs will help reduce that number.” Established in February 2015, K9 Guardians is beginning to place service dogs with those with disabilities. It currently is training Malachi to prepare him to serve a Navy Seal who suffered spinal injuries. One of the tasks

NEWS BRIEFS Passport fair at post office The United States Postal Service will conduct a passport fair at Ramona Post Office from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 25 for first-time passport applicants. Appointments are not necessary. For adults, age 16 and older, a passport card is $30, and a passport book is $110. For minors, a card is $15, and a book is $80. Those fees must be paid with a personal check or money order. There is also a $25 processing/acceptance fee and a $15 fee for photos. Ramona Post office is at 1444 Main St. Motorcyclist dies in collision A 37-year-old Carlsbad man was killed in a motorcycle accident on state Route 78 in Julian around 4:50 p.m. Sunday. The man was westbound on Highway 78 and failed to negotiate a curve west of Spring View Road, reported California Highway Patrol. He was ejected onto the pavement directly into the path of an eastbound motorcycle driven by a 43-year-old San Diego man who was unable to avoid the downed rider and struck him with the motorcycle, said CHP Public Information Officer Kevin Pearlstein. The Carlsbad man died at the scene, and the San Diego man was transported to Palomar Medical Center with minor injuries, the report stated. Pearlstein said both riders were
wearing helmets, and it appears neither alcohol nor drugs were factors. Boulder Oaks Preserve San Diego County Department of Parks and Recreation will hold a public workshop to discuss and hear comments on the public access plan proposed for the Boulder Oaks Preserve, about 1,268 acres between state Route 67 and Mussey Grade Road north of San Vicente Reservoir.

For more information, contact Sharon Davis, honorary mayor, at 760-788-7215. DMV sting The San Diego investigations office of the Department of Motor Vehicles conducted an operation in Ramona recently, focusing on unlicensed dealers and Disabled Person Parking placards. Two citations were issued: one for
an unlicensed dealer and the other for unlawful use of a Disabled Person Parking placard, according to the DMV. The operation was conducted in the downtown area where officers contacted 35 people after running checks on placards that they saw in vehicles, said a DMV spokesperson. Although the operation was a California Highway Patrol request, DMV Investigations occasionally runs random stings on Disabled Person Parking Placards, the spokesperson said. The DMV encourages reporting of possible abuse of the placards, but cautions that some qualifying disabilities are not visually apparent. Complaint forms are available at www.dmv.ca.gov, under the search key words “Record of Complaint.” Housing for homeless vets In an effort to find more housing for homeless veterans, the county has approved $400,000 for a landlord incentive program. Landlords who rent to homeless veterans can apply for a number of incentives such as leasing bonuses, security deposit and utility assistance, and damage claim reimbursements. The 2015 Homeless Point-in-Time Count showed 15 percent of the region’s homeless served in the military. Landlords interested in learning more may call 858-694-4808.

Forest service works to realign Three Sisters trail BY J. HARRY JONES U.S. Forest Service is working on a plan to realign and create safer trails leading to the Three Sisters Falls and the Eagle Peak summit near Julian where dozens of hikers have been rescued over the past several years. The plan also calls for the construction of a trailhead and parking lot off Boulder Creek Road near the intersection of Cedar Creek Road where only a small makeshift parking lot now exists. For years, hikers have been moving along steep paths forged through the area by determined visitors heading to the picturesque spots. Cleveland National Forest is proposing to upgrade the trails and make them official, both to protect the environment and to improve safety. If things move ahead as scheduled, crews will start cutting the new trails in October, said
Lee Hamm, a recreation and lands officer for the Cleveland National Forest and the project manager. Total cost for the trail construction is a bit more than $700,000, said Chris Dowling, Palomar District Ranger for the forest service. Building a parking lot and restrooms at the trailhead will cost about $1 million, but that project hasn’t been funded. Like other trails in the county, the Three Sisters and Eagles Peak trails have seen an explosion in popularity in recent years as more people have become familiar with hiking opportunities via the Internet and social media sites. Forest officials estimate that during recent winter and spring months, roughly 50 to 150 hikers use the trails on weekdays, and that skyrockets to as many as 400 on weekends. The numbers drop by about two-thirds in the
hot summer months, but rescues during that time increase. Most of the rescues involve hikers who are injured or overcome by extreme heat. On June 3, five helicopter rescues were made either at Three Sisters or at Cedar Creek Falls further to the west, said Sgt. Mark Johnston of the Sheriff’s Department Aviation unit. This year, countywide sheriff’s helicopters have made 55 rescues, including 12 that came out of The Three Sisters and Cedar Creek areas. “Almost all the rescues in that area are heat-related,” Johnston said. Sometimes hikers must be hoisted into a large fire helicopter; other times a small law enforcement helicopter will suffice. The copter will land in the valley, deputies will give water to those in distress, and then fly them to the Ramona/Cal Fire station in San Diego Country Estates for treatment.
And those are just the most serious situations. Many more calls from distressed hikers are made every week leading to other types of help being rendered. In just about every case, officials say, the problem can be traced back to hikers not bringing enough water with them and/or not wearing proper footwear. The unofficial trails begin on an abandoned road and then split, with one descending about 1,000 feet in elevation into a valley toward the falls while the other heads up a hill to the top of Eagle Peak. The Three Sisters hike is the more popular of the two. Hikers are rewarded at the end of the 2.5-mile hike with a three-tiered waterfall. “When you start working your way down into the valley, its very over-steep and narrow,” said Dowling. SEE TRAIL, A13
Rural stations receive quick-attack vehicles San Diego County Fire Authority can now dispatch up to four new quick-attack vehicles to assist Cal Fire operations when a brush fire breaks out in a hard-to-reach part of the backcountry. The vehicles, known as patrols, are smaller and faster than a larger engine and are equipped with all the same basic lifesaving equipment. They can hold up to 200 gallons of water and 10 gallons of gel or foam and are assigned to county fire
stations in Palomar Mountain, De Luz, Shelter Valley and Jacumba. The stations include areas affected by the 2003 and 2007 wildfires. While the vehicles were primarily built for wildfire response, they can also be used for everyday calls like medical aid, traffic collisions and structure fires, and that is how they will mostly be used, said county fire Deputy Chief Kevin Lawson. The vehicles will be frontline, first-roll
response units at volunteer or reserve stations and will supplement the current county fire fleet, said Cal Fire San Diego Unit and county fire Chief Tony Mecham. “For the rural backcountry, they are more suitable than a fire engine,” said Mecham. “They are simple to operate, very quick and maneuverable and allow our reserves to get to the scene quickly. They are also used for mop-up, allowing fully staffed engines to be put back in service
quickly.” This type of patrol vehicle is relatively new to the county fleet. Five of them were purchased last year and were used heavily, fire officials said. Firefighters receive additional training on how to operate the two-person vehicles. Each costs nearly $260,000. Federal Community Development Block Grants and the county’s general fund split the cost.

FROM TRAIL, A12 Hamm, the Forest Service land officer, said “some areas are so steep that some people will bring in ropes they have to use to climb down and back up.” The hikers can also cause damage to the area. “We have a lot of concern about erosion with sediment being washed down into the water way down there,’ said Dowling. Trash has become more prevalent as well, he said. The new trails will make the hikes much easier by creating switchbacks and using other methods of slope management. It will still be a difficult hike, Dowling said, but the actual walking should be much better. Back at the trailhead, a new parking lot with room for 60 to 80 cars will be built. Cars currently use only a small lot and then spill over to both sides of Boulder Creek Road making it difficult, and at times impossible, for emergency vehicles to get by, which is important, since so many rescues take place every year and because people live farther down the road. Dowling said there are no plans to require hiking permits like those instituted a few years ago for Cedar Creek. Crowds were getting so large there in the early part of the decade that extreme measures had to be taken. The number of hikers going to Three Sisters constitutes just a small fraction of the thousands that were hiking to the Cedar Creek Falls each day. The plan is currently going through the review process, and the public is being asked to comment on the proposal by July 5. The plan can be viewed by accessing the Cleveland National Forest website http://tinyurl.com/jktpvrc. Comments may be sent to: comments-cleveland@ fs.fed.us. J.

PREP BASEBALL
Roberts selected League Player of Year 12 Bulldogs earn all-league honors BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School had 12 baseball players on the Valley League's all-league teams including League Player of the Year Todd Roberts. "It's neat to get that recognition," coach Dean Welch said. "None of them play for their stats or their glory as an individual. It's a very unselfish group." The combined individual performances allowed Ramona to obtain the Valley League championship with a 13-2 record in league competition. The Bulldogs' overall record of 17-13 includes a loss to Patrick Henry in Ramona's only CIF playoff game. Roberts received player of the year recognition while Russell Grant of Oceanside was the pitcher of the year. Roberts was a first baseman and a pitcher
for the Bulldogs. "It's just a tremendous achievement for a great kid. He really did deserve that recognition. He was just an offensive beast, came through time and time again," Welch said. Roberts batted .387 with 41 hits in 106 at-bats. He scored 23 runs and drove in 28. Roberts and Dejan Lee matched the team record of 17 doubles in a season set by Jackson Willeford in 2011 and tied by Zach Sherman in 2015. Lee now holds the school record with 18 doubles while Roberts ended the season with 17 two-baggers. Roberts was joined on the first team by Lee, Dylan Spacke and Adrian Collazo. "I think it speaks to the individual success that culminated with the collective success of the team," Welch said. Roberts, Lee and Spacke were seniors. Collazo was a junior. Spacke was a pitcher and outfielder who compiled a 7-1 mound SEE BASEBALL, A16
PREP LACROSSE
Four play in all-star games BY JOE NAIMAN Most San Diego County high school sports have a post-season senior all-star game. Girls lacrosse has two all-star games with juniors and seniors participating in one contest and freshmen and sophomores competing in the other. That allowed four Ramona players, including two seniors, to play in all-star games at Coronado High School. "It was a good way to finish the season," said assistant coach Al Cavell. The teams were not divided by grade level, school division or geography. Ramona seniors Megan Vandervort and Mackenzie Griffin
were on the same team in the junior-senior game. One of the freshman-sophomore teams included sophomores Zoe Bennet and Tiffany Meredith. The freshman-sophomore team with Bennet and Meredith won that game by a single-goal margin. "It was a really close game," Cavell said. Meredith, who is a forward, scored one of her team's goals. Bennet is a defender. "No goal for her, obviously," Cavell said. Each team had 16 players, with 12 players on SEE LACROSSE, A16

PREP GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
Hickle, Harris play in all-star game BY JOE NAIMAN San Diego County's high school volleyball senior all-star game consisted of a girls match and a boys match and took place at Miramar College. The athletes included Ramona players Sydney Hickle and Calvin Harris. The teams were divided into two squads with no consideration given to school enrollment or geography. Hickle was on the girls team, which lost the best-of-five match in three games. Harris won on the winning boys team, which required a 15-13 victory in game five to prevail. Ramona girls head coach Connie Halfaker and Bulldogs boys head coach Kyle Adelman attended but did not have coaching duties. Hickle played the libero position. "She played really well, played very mature defense, and it was just a thrill to watch her," Halfaker said. Hickle spent three years on Ramona's varsity. Halfaker has coached her since Hickle was on an Amateur Athletic Union club as a fourth-grader.
"She just stayed with the program, made varsity her sophomore year," Halfaker said. "She is talented. We will miss her tremendously, both her play and her leadership." Harris was a middle blocker. "He was selected pretty quickly, so that was pretty awesome," Adelman said. "In the game Calvin played really well. The field this year was better than I've seen over the last few years." That meant that other middle blockers would be requiring playing time, but Harris still saw plenty of points on the court. "They ended up using him a lot," Adelman said. Harris did not play volleyball until his junior year, although he had previous experience playing with teammates as part of Ramona's basketball program. "Calvin's personality in itself plays so nicely in being able to step into something like this," Adelman said.

Golf tournament nets $7,729 for schools BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON The Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS) golf tournament presented by Supreme Lending Branch Manager Shelly Heimer netted $7,729 for health and safety projects at Ramona schools. “I don’t know how to express in words how elated Lindsey (McNerney, her assistant) and I feel, how smooth it went, how many people participated,” Heimer said. “We’re just so pleased.” Held at San Vicente Resort & Golf Course on Friday, June 17, the tournament started with a putting contest at noon and a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Sixty-two golfers participated, with most of the 16 teams having four players. Food, golfer swag bags, prizes and a silent auction that brought in $1,175 added to the afternoon event that spilled into early evening. The first place trophy went to the four-member team that ended the 18-hole course with a score of 57. On the team were Brandon Bogotay, Mark Anderson, Roger Fontanini and Robert Krasuski. Placing second with a score of 59 was the team of John and Roger Rajcic, John Buckley and Jack Murphy. Heimer expressed appreciation for the tournament volunteers and for San Vicente Resort’s Jack Anderson, “who showed us the way.” “The golf course was amazing,” she said, adding in a note after the fundraiser, “I was truly honored to be able to do this tournament and look forward to doing it again next year.” Heimer, a 1993 graduate of Ramona High School with three elementary school-aged daughters, said she became passionate about FORUS after Ramona Unified School District’s 2014 bond bid, Proposition Q, failed -- “so in lieu of Q,” she became a FORUS supporter. FORUS, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established after the district’s 2012 Proposition R bond effort failed, focuses its fundraising efforts on health and safety projects at the schools. “We could not have done it without all our sponsors and, of course, our golfers,” Heimer said in a Facebook post. “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support and commitment to Ramona schools.” Sponsors included Coldwell Banker Country Realty, Stage Presence Homes Real Estate, Regina Flores Group, MJN Real Estate, Karen Domnitz, KirE Builders, Grace Care Management, Pest Patrol, Foresight Sports, Ramona Town Radio, Dixon Golf, PBC Printing & Branding, Lindsey McMorran with Here with Hope, Christie Carlson with San Vicente Mortgage, Patterson Brothers Lighting, Kitty Brisendine with Something Delicious, Brenda Fonzi McGuinness and Mary Carter-Vail with doTerra Essential Oils, and Lisa Wagner.

end. "They got creamed," Cavell said. The two Ramona seniors still had the opportunity to see significant action in the all-star game. During the season Vandervort was a midfielder and Griffin was a defender. Both played defense in the all-star competition. Vandervort will attend the University of California, Berkeley, and Griffin will study at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Both are considering playing club lacrosse in college.

Lee's 18 doubles were among his 35 hits, and he had a .389 batting average with 39 runs scored, 20 runs driven in, and eight stolen bases. He played second base when the Bulldogs were in the field. Collazo is an outfielder who led the team with a .439 batting average and 47

Ramona players on the Valley League second team were senior pitchers Matt Abruzzo and Travis Marinshaw and junior shortstop Cameron Rowles.

Senior volunteer patrol seeks more recruits The sheriff’s Ramona station is looking for more men and women to join the senior volunteer patrol. A training academy for senior volunteers will start in September. The Ramona station has about 30 seniors who assist the sheriff’s department but, due to recent retirements, needs about five additional recruits.
Duties of senior volunteers include: vacation checks on homes of Ramona residents, enforcement of violations of disabled parking spaces, contacts with and visits to homebound seniors who live alone, and patrolling shopping centers, schools and neighborhoods. When needed, they also assist at civic functions, with traffic control and perform other duties to help the sheriff’s
department. To qualify, male and female applicants must be U.S. Citizens, age 50 or older, must have a valid California driver’s license, have auto and health insurance, and be able to pass a background check by the sheriff’s department. Once accepted, the volunteer will attend a two-week academy and training patrols. The academy teaches the recruit

Mercury hits 109 in Ramona on Monday City News Service—Summer got off to a scorching start as an intense hot spell grew even fiercer on Monday. The torrid conditions set a number of heat records for the date, including 109 degrees in Ramona, topping the prior June 20 milestone of 106, set in 2008, the National Weather Services reported. Other milestone highs were logged in Borrego Springs, where the mercury reached the 118-degree mark, exceeding the previous high of 116, also set in 2008; 110 degrees in Campo (105, 2008); 107 in El Cajon (94, 2007); 106 in Escondido (104, 1973); 96 on Palomar Mountain (92, 2015); and 91 in Chula Vista
(85, 2008). The swelter added to the challenges faced by firefighters laboring to extinguish a blaze that charred about 7,500 open, brushy acres in the southern reaches of the county since erupting near Potrero late Sunday morning. High temperatures also broke records Sunday, when it was 106 degrees in Ramona and Alpine, 117 degrees in Borrego Springs, 109 degrees in Campo, 104 degrees in El Cajon, 103 degrees in Escondido, and 93 degrees on Palomar Mountain and in Chula Vista, according to the National Weather Service. An excessive-heat warning for inland areas remained in effect until 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Cool zones in Ramona are the library at 1275 Main St. and the community center at 434 Aqua Lane. Temperatures were expected to lower somewhat Tuesday, when forecasters predicted high temperatures would fall to 84 to 94 degrees in the valleys, and on Wednesday, with ranges from 108 to 115 degrees in the lower deserts, 99 to 107 in the upper deserts and in the 80s or 90s in the mountains, according to forecasters. Authorities advised the public to avoid potentially serious heat-related ailments by staying well-hydrated, avoiding unnecessary outdoor labor and checking on neighbors and
relatives — especially those with health conditions and who lack air conditioning. Officials also warned against leaving children or pets in parked cars, which can quickly become death traps in high heat. One caller to the Sentinel reminded pet owners to be aware that dogs’ feet can be burned on hot concrete and asphalt. Residents are urged to conserve electricity as much as possible, especially during peak hours from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. This can be done by not using appliances such as washing machines, dryers and microwave ovens, and by turning off lights and computers when they're not needed.
Laura Lewis takes oath of office as postmaster manager in Vista. She has also been postmaster of Julian, has been the San Diego District retail operations manager, and has filled in with supervisory work at the Ramona Post Office. She was promoted to postmaster on Feb. 1. “Being a postmaster is a great honor,” said Lewis. “It enables you to be a part of the community and puts you in personal contact with the people who make up the community. My goal is to continue to improve service and make everyone’s postal experience a positive one.” Lewis is a graduate of The University of Phoenix with a bachelor’s degree in business marketing. As Ramona postmaster, she supervises 45 employees and oversees 15,000 residential and business deliveries and 2,800 post office box deliveries.

Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project Board will dedicate "The Old Swimming Hole" mural at 6 p.m. June 24.
Mural dedication set for Friday The community is invited to the dedication of the “The Old Swimming Hole” mural on Friday, June 24, at 6 p.m. at Leslie’s Pool & Spa building, 1905 Main St. Those attending can meet the artist, Thom Guerra, and receive an autographed copy of the mural as a souvenir. Local wine and appetizers will be available. This is the second mural to be located outside the Old Town area of Ramona. As with all the Ramona
H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project works, at least one heart icon is hidden in the rendering for pedestrians to find while they view the mural. Guerra was 13 years old when he starting learning the sign painting trade from his mother. When customers asked if he could add other subjects, his repertoire gradually expanded into mural painting. Now, with 30 years of experience he has painted murals throughout
Southern California. The mural is funded by County of San Diego Community Enhancement funds and the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project Board of Directors. Anyone wishing to donate $100 or more will be listed on the plaque to be placed at the mural site and on the H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project website. For more information, call Elaine Lyttleton at 760-787-1102.
SHERIFF’S REPORTS Three Barnett Elementary School students, one age 13 and two age 12, were arrested June 8, one for possession of marijuana on school grounds and two for possession of a weapon on campus, according to sheriff’s reports. During a class activity, a member of the school staff saw one of the youths with a smoking device and called the school resource officer, said Lt. Jerry Hartman. That youth was found to possess marijuana, he said. Another youth was found with a butterfly knife that a friend at school had given him, said the lieutenant, and because both had the knife in their possession at school, they were both charged. Among other reports at the Ramona station: Sunday, June 19 • Residential burglary of $800 air gun, 100 block Hillcrest Lane.

100lien, - LEGAL NOTICES erty you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 888-988-6736 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-16-704160-BF . 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

STEM students design, then launch dragsters BY ALEXIS NAGEM Racing against the clock, students in teacher Shane Helmich’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) class launched Co2 dragsters of their own design, working to earn the best time in the class before the end of the school year. The Olive Peirce Middle School students had been working on their cars for months. To create their dragsters, they researched various designs and created thumbnail sketches based on the results they found. Once they found a design that suited them, they created a final sketch that adhered to the qualifications of standards held by competitions across the state. They then cut the outline of the sketch and pasted it onto balsa wood. “Balsa wood’s easier to work with and it goes faster on the track because it’s lighter,” Helmich said. Using hand tools such as coping saws, dremels and clamps, students carved their design out of the balsa wood. They then went outside to paint their models. They used AutoDesk Inventor, an engineering software program similar to a Computer Aided Design, to sketch a personalized model of their dragster that could be printed using the 3D printer. After printing, students built upon the models further using axles, washers and eye hooks to connect with the fishing line on the track. “It’s nice when they make something on the computer, because we can make it come to life,” said Helmich. As well as designing their vehicles, students were assigned jobs to help conduct the races. Among them were time keepers, starters, line threaders, Co2 charger loaders and Co2 charger recovery workers. Some students were also appointed to be math assistants/experts. During the race, it was their job to help their peers with calculations based on the data they collected. “I want to incorporate the math so they can see it come to life,” said Helmich. “They’re going to weigh their designs, we have timers and I’m going to have some real life math application problems.” Seventh-grader Summer Campbell was familiar with the STEM program, but agreed that the project tested the students’ knowledge. “It was more complicated than we thought, but it turned out really nice,” Campbell said. “It taught us definitely metric systems and measuring. And it taught us how to build things and put them together the right way. And it really taught us that mistakes are OK.” The STEM program has been on the middle school campus for two years and helps students learn to solve tough problems, gather and evaluate evidence, and make sense of the information gathered. Seventh-grader Lucas Carlson was new

I had to pull some strings, but I’m getting into robotics next year, and then I’m going to be a STEM aide,” said Carlson. “I already knew that I wanted to be a mechanical engineer, but this really backs it up.” Projects such as this will help the students, not only in school, but later in their lives as well. The STEM class introduces them to concepts and job opportunities that they might not have considered. “I like it a lot and I think it’s amazing and I just love it, and I’m actually considering being an engineer when I grow up, too, ’cause it’s really cool,” said seventh-grader Faith Tomlinson. Marc Richmond, an engineering

This is definitely a prototype for exactly what we do in the field.” Seventh-graders Daniel Radeke and Chris Cutshaw won first place with a time of 0.9 seconds, attributing their victory to their dragster’s design. “I think the aerodynamics of this dragster (helped) because a pointed tip splits the air and the split air comes back around and out again,” said Cutshaw. “So, aerodynamics contributed a lot to what we have done today.” Carlson and fellow seventh-grader Chris Brennan earned second place with a time of 1.03 sec. “Overall, it was a success,” said Helmich. “The kids had fun and they were engaged and they got to see STEM at its maximum level, which is the ultimate goal.” Helmich plans to continue the program at OPMS, and hopes to help aid its expansion and improvement. “I think next year we’re going to improve,” said Helmich. “I think we can make more aerodynamic designs and make them better, faster and go from there.”
