Trustees consider $58 million school budget Deficit spending projected

July 4th Family Picnic & Fireworks. 13-16

ramonasentinel.com

BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON In a special meeting Thursday, Ramona Unified School District trustees are expected to approve a budget for the 2017-18 school year that starts July 1. The proposal shows $58.1 million in expenses and $55.7 million in revenue. The June 29 meeting will start at 7 p.m. in the Wilson Administrative Center Board Room, 720 Ninth St. A complete agenda was not released by the time the

Sentinel went to press on Tuesday but, according to the superintendent’s office, it will be on the district website, ramonausd.net, on June 28. Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., called the 2017-18 spending plan an estimate of an estimate. “We’re estimating expenditures, we’re estimating revenues, and we’re also going to assume that 100 percent of everything we plan to spend in the budget comes 100 percent funded and 100 percent carried out,” Staffieri told trustees at their June 15 meeting. The most accurate budget time of the year comes in

September, when trustees will review actual expenses and income from the 2016-17 year, she said, recommending that they hold a budget workshop after that to discuss options. The spending plan for 2017-18 includes $1.07 million in new money that is offset by a loss in student Average Daily Attendance (ADA) and increased costs. Projected loss in ADA is $141,600. Increased costs totaling $1.67 million are the result of: • Automatic Step and Column increases for SEE BUDGET, A6

Man pleads guilty in head-on fatality BY NEAL PUTNAM A Ramona man pleaded guilty last Wednesday to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated in the death of Racheal Guarneros-Callahan, 21, who was killed in a head-on crash in 2016. Paul Alan Schenk, 51, faces up to six years in state prison, said Deputy District Attorney Jessica Paugh. Schenk also pleaded guilty to two counts of child endangerment as his two children were in his Ford F-250 pickup truck on Sept. 12, 2016. El Cajon Superior Court Judge John Thompson set sentencing for July 21. Schenk remains in jail without bail. Schenk pleaded guilty to all charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol, on the day his case was assigned to a courtroom to start jury selection. The victim’s family members were present for the guilty plea. Probation has been ruled out, said Paugh. She said it was expected that Schenk would receive the six year prison sentence. Guarneros-Callahan was on her way home from work in a 2012 Nissan Altima when Schenk’s truck crossed the solid double yellow lines, hitting her vehicle head-on on Vista Ramona Road near Woods Hill Lane at 4:30 p.m. She died on impact, according to the California Highway Patrol. Schenk’s 4-year-old son was not properly restrained in a car seat and he was ejected through the rear window of the pick-up with serious injuries. His 5-year-old sister was not properly restrained in a booster seat that was designed for a SEE FATALITY, A6

County puts up $25M for affordable housing BY ALEX RIGGINS AND JAMES R. RIFFEL County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a series of steps designed to address homelessness and the lack of affordable housing in San Diego County. County plans include creation of a $25 million affordable housing investment pool. Supervisor Ron Roberts said the region is in the middle of a major housing crisis. “We live in a time where housing needs have outgrown our ability to meet demand,” Roberts said at the June 20 meeting. “Not just affordable housing — the county and all 18 cities are not building anywhere near the amount of housing that is needed.” SEE HOUSING, A6

RUSD schools show safe lead levels in water According to the Ramona Unified School District, water tests for all school sites have shown lead levels well below allowable limits set by environmental agencies. Testing of schools within Ramona Unified was conducted in cooperation with the Ramona Municipal Water District in late May. Barnett Elementary, James Dukes Elementary, Hanson Elementary, Mt. Woodson Elementary, Ramona Elementary, Montecito High School, Future Bound Independent Study School, Ramona Community Campus, Olive Peirce Middle School, Ramona Adult School, and Ramona High School were tested for water lead levels at multiple test sites per school location as part of the Lead Sampling in California School Program. District officials said they appreciated the service provided by the Ramona Municipal Water District throughout the testing process. “The district is pleased to share results for all schools which indicated lead levels well below what is considered acceptable,” Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., said in a press release. “Required water monitoring is now complete and further testing is not necessary.” The State Water Resources Control Board in December required local water providers to test for lead at kindergarten through grade 12 schools. Information about contaminated water in Flint, Mich., led to concerns about lead in drinking water, particularly for children, California Department of Education reported in January. “Lead rarely occurs naturally in California’s drinking water sources, but may become present when water passes through older plumbing fixtures or solder containing lead that connects plumbing,” states the department’s website.

It's business as usual at Jeff and Amy Ruland's Sears Hometown Store, which will be at its current location at 220 Rotanzi St. through the end of the year.

Sears Hometown Store remains open The Sentinel recently reported that North County Health Services has purchased the Sears Hometown Store building at 220 Rotanzi St. The same article stated that the store would remain open at the Rotanzi address for six or more months and then would move to another location with a new owner.

Many Sears Hometown Store customers apparently thought the store was closing. Not true, said Jeff Ruland, who owns the store with his wife Amy. Business continues as usual, he said. “(The) current location will continue through year end and there is already another location in the works,” Ruland said in a recent email.

Teen stabbing victim suffered chest wound The 15-year-old Montecito High School student who was stabbed by a 16-year-old Ramona High School student June 20 suffered a stab wound to the chest, sheriff’s Lt. Jerry Hartman said. Hartmen said he couldn’t comment on the full nature of the teen’s injuries. The stabbing occurred about 11:40 a.m. last Tuesday after the two teens, both attending summer classes at Ramona High, engaged in a fight, according to reports. The 16-year-old

allegedly stabbed the victim and walked away from the scene, but deputies arrested the suspect at his home within the hour and he was booked into juvenile hall that night, reported the sheriff’s department. The victim was treated by paramedics and transported to a hospital. Hartman said they are aware the two boys had an altercation the day before but do not know why. The victim allegedly made some threats he was

going to beat up the suspect due to the previous day’s incident, so the suspect brought the weapon to school for protection in case he was confronted by the 15-year-old again, said the lieutenant. Ramona Unified School District released a statement after the stabbing saying appropriate actions were being taken at both high schools and it was working closely with law enforcement to provide a safe campus to all students.

COMMENTARY

Leaving the Paris Accord is a big deal BY JON SNIDER ebuttal to Steve Yanke’s “Dumping Paris Accord not a big deal” in the June 15 Ramona Sentinel. America IS Great when our nation continues the Founders’ legacy and hopes that our people would prosper and take care of ourselves as we lead the nation in an ever-expanding process of promise and progress to the benefit of humanity: US and “them.” Our 241-year history of leadership in democracy, the rule of law, industry, education, and equality — to name a few of the numerous ways in which we have benefited our people and by example helped other nations around the world — is exactly why the United States leaving the Paris Accord IS a BIG DEAL. Quite simply our nation leaving the Paris Accord represents a disregard of our founders’ efforts and intentions, our historical heritage of leadership, and the science and morality of the facts with respect to the world’s climate. Quitting the Accord has more to do with the rise of a nobility class of selfish Americans and interests. These wealthy business and political elites of all political persuasions just want more for themselves and were of great concern to our nation’s founders. With regards to the environment, to whom do we now give leadership and power? In a complex and troubled world, is now a good time for a stabilizing and thoughtful nation to end its influence? As a leader in innovation with a focus on the present and the future, is now a good time for our nation to step back to the past and withdraw from an evolving and changing world? The vast majority of Americans expect America to continue its evolving greatness of taking care of our own AND leading in vital areas of leadership around the world. Our staying in the Paris Climate Accord IS a BIG DEAL. The dangerous and reckless actions of Mr. Trump are un-American. The citizens today who resist him with his Paris Accord mistake and many other areas that deviate and veer away from our founders’ intentions and hopes for the common man are the correct and the true patriots who remain on the right side of American history. Jon Snider is a Ramona resident.

OUR READERS WRITE Health care proposal, a cruel mean trick The Senate GOP leadership is trying to ramrod TrumpCare through Congress in time for the long 4th of July recess. Americans cannot sit idle while their current health care is being stripped away from them. Trump's bill is a cruel trick. It will decimate health care coverage for 74 million Medicaid recipients. Virtually no one even knows what the bill says. Senators are going to vote on a bill that most of them have never read. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said, "I haven't seen any legislative language," so he could not comment. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has not had time to analyze and score the bill. The 52 GOP senators are planning to postpone the vote until just before the month-long August recess. These senators will surely face the wrath from their angry constituents when they return to their home districts. For eight long years, the Republicans in Congress sat on their brains during the tenure of the Affordable Healthcare Act, popularly known as Obamacare. "This bill takes hundreds of billions of dollars for providing health care coverage to vulnerable and working people and uses it to cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires," said Dianne Feinstein. The bill would allow federal government to apply a fixed amount of money to California and leave the state taxpayers on the hook for billions of additional costs. Trump's bill will hurt 14 million Californians covered under Medicaid: children, women, working

families, the elderly, and disabled. Under Trump's health plan, millions of Medicaid eligible citizens will have no "Essential Benefits." A few of these benefits are: emergency room care, hospitalization for mental and physical problems and coverage for Medicaid eligible pregnant women. These benefits would no longer be available to patients. His plan allows individuals and states to opt out if they choose. This is a major flaw in the bill. This bill rewards the wealthy at the expense of the middle and lower classes. Large insurance companies are anticipating gigantic windfalls if this plan is finalized. Indeed, insurance stock has been soaring in recent weeks. What's great for Wall Street is terrible news for everyone else. Peter Quercia Ramona

COMMENTARY

Gianforte and climate change omissions Lowering of standards has to stop BY SUSAN CONRAD The following is a rebuttal to Steve Yanke’s last two articles in the Ramona Sentinel. I don’t want to get into a hostile debate, but I do believe it’s important to respond with research and reminders. Regarding the most recent commentary, “Assuming Guilt without all the Facts,” my response can be summed up in three words: “Gianforte admitted it.” There is no question that he accosted the reporter, sending him to the hospital. And to use your analogy — “was [Gianforte] crying?” The focus of my article is on Duncan Hunter’s response to the incident and his remarks regarding the assault — “It’s not appropriate behavior, unless he deserves it.” These words will be remembered at the polls in 2018. Now, regarding the commentary on the Paris climate agreement, you and the president, according to many conservative economists and scientists, have it wrong. According to Fortune 500 Magazine, in an article by Kevin Lui on May 31, “Major U.S. corporations and leading business figures [were] raising an eleventh-hour appeal to President Donald Trump, urging him to not pull the country out of the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change.” While Trump cites the report by the National Economic Research Associates (NERA) study to defend his argument that the agreement is bad for the U.S. economy, a closer well-researched examination of this study shows Trump is “cherry picking

worst-case scenarios that don’t take in the increase in jobs and GDP gains through renewable technologies. As reported by Politifact.com, “Yale professor Kenneth Gillingham said the NERA model tends to result in higher costs than other economic models. The study assumes certain hypothetical regulations, but "one could easily model other actions with much lower costs," and it also ignores the benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, like avoiding the negative effects of climate change.” According to USA Today, “Trump’s decision to exit the Paris climate agreement is likely to give a small and immediate uptick in the oil and coal industry (appeal to his base), but economists and energy experts warn that dropping out of the international pact might restrict the country’s ability to financially capitalize on the international shift to renewable resources.” The world is “hungry” for cheap energy and leaving this opportunity as a global leader jeopardizes opportunities in new technologies which China and other countries are more than eager to jump on. We no longer have a seat at the negotiating table. In an article by CNN Money, Marc Hafstead, a fellow at Resources for the Future, a think tank that concentrates on energy issues, conducted his own study, which found that the Paris deal wouldn't cause much of a net change in jobs, since SEE CLIMATE, A6

BY STEVE YANKE Response to George Eastwood, “Congress must impeach Trump,” June 15 Ramona Sentinel. George, I agree with you that we must hold all our politicians to a higher standard. But, I would take your stance one step further to include all public officials: If caught lying to the American people while in office should be dishonorably discharged without benefits — no golden parachutes, no severance pay. During my lifetime, Richard Nixon was the first president to be caught lying while in office. He resigned rather than face impeachment. Bill Clinton was the second president caught lying while in office. Clinton was impeached yet survived. Barack 0bama was the third president to be caught lying to the American people while in office, and he was not even impeached. This lowering of our standards, especially for those who hold public office, has got to stop. We used to hold our politicians to a higher standard. I was in 100% agreement with you up to your comment, “It is abundantly clear that this current president is unfit for office and routinely lies to the American people.” No, it is not abundantly clear that Trump has lied while in office to the American people. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? It is up to you, the accuser, to provide abundant proof of those lies, because to falsely accuse someone of lying is worse than being a liar. I gave 0bama and Hillary the benefit of doubt

until I had irrefutable proof that they lied to me and the America people. With Hillary, we know she knew Benghazi was not caused by a YouTube video the night of the attack, proven via the WikiLeaks disclosures. In a news conference, 0bama admitted in his own words to knowing that it was a terrorist attack on Sept. 19, 2012, six days before his United Nations speech where he once again inferred the attack was incited by a YouTube video in that speech. Although looking back on it now, if Hillary knew the night of, so did 0bama, regardless of where he was and what he was or wasn’t doing. Most on the left maintain that 0bama and Hillary were merely wrong about Benghazi, yet in the same breath those same people convict Trump of lying with little or no evidence. I think this is hypocritical. Your “abundantly clear” comment leads me to believe you have irrefutable proof that Trump lied on several occasions and was more than merely wrong. Please provide that truth, because I have not seen it, and your hand waving innuendos are not convincing. This is the conundrum that the left has placed themselves in. For the last 8-plus years, virtually every person on the left failed to keep their own politicians honest, especially those in the media. This disqualifies them to keep the other side’s politicians honest without being hypocritical. I was wondering, does the military code of honor put hypocrites and false accusers less trustworthy and with less integrity than liars? Because I do. Steve Yanke is a Ramona resident.

The driver of this water truck waits to be rescued after the vehicle's brakes failed and it rolled off the road.

Driver loses control of water truck, says brakes failed A 40-year-old Ramona man suffered minor injuries Friday afternoon, June 23, when he lost control of the commercial-sized water tender he was driving and it rolled down an embankment, stated officials. The incident occurred in the 24900 block of Agrarian Road in the Rancho Santa Theresa area east of Ramona just before 3 p.m. The driver was northbound on Agrarian, traveling down a hill, when he turned left and the vehicle overturned and went down about 30 feet off the side of the road, according to the California Highway Patrol. According to CHP Public Information Officer Ben Demarest, the driver said his brakes went out. The truck, apparently held by a branch, teetered there until a heavy tow truck could stabilize it and extricate the driver, said Cal Fire Capt. Robert Ramirez with the Ramona Fire Department. Paramedics could not immediately get to the driver because they did not want the branch to break, he said. Cal Fire Paramedic Engine 56 in Julian transported the driver to Palomar Medical Center Escondido.

FROM CLIMATE, A5 losses in sectors such as coal would be balanced by job gains in alternative energy. "The NERA study grossly overstates the changes in output and jobs in heavy industry," he said. The bottom line is that Trump, like Hunter, only cares to appeal to his base, not all of the people he serves. Coal has been an industry in decline for decades, while renewable technologies are the future, our children’s future. When do I get my nickel’s worth? I want bipartisan leadership with the concerns of everyone in mind. I want leadership that my children can look up to, not a lying president and a Congressional representative who’s under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice. Gee, are my standards too high? Susan Conrad is a Ramona resident.

BY KAREN BRAINARD The Ramona Cemetery District is planning to construct a new building at Nuevo Memory Gardens that would provide space for small memorial services. And, seeing a growing trend toward cremation, Bill Biggs, president of the cemetery district, told the Ramona Community Planning Group that they also want to add plots for cremation niches. Because Nuevo Memory Gardens at 532 Ash St. is in the state Route 78 scenic corridor, Biggs had to get the planning group’s approval for an “S”

scenic waiver for construction of the meeting room. The building, he said, is proposed to be patterned after a chapel in Warner Springs that is over 100 years old, will be built on undeveloped land, and will offer about 946 square feet of space inside. Biggs said the cemetery has seen changes in recent years and the meeting room will offer an option for people to hold memorial services. “Our internment has dropped quite a bit,” he said. According to Biggs, full burials have changed from 65 percent to 40

percent or less of the cemetery’s business while more people are turning to cremation and often taking the ashes home to store in an urn. Planning group member Frank Lucio, who chairs the group’s East Subcommittee that first reviewed the plans, said the meeting room building will be no higher than 15 feet and will only be visible from Ash Street, not Route 78. The planning group unanimously approved the waiver and several members complimented the cemetery district on its Memorial Day ceremony.

FROM BUDGET, A1

supplemental money the state provides for English learners, students from low-income families, and foster and homeless students for those additions. “Supplemental dollars are the dollars that we’ve been given to close the achievement gap, and we need to demonstrate utilization of those dollars,” said Staffieri. Her presentation included a drop in projected ending balances from $8.77 million at the end of the 2017-18 year to $4.1 million at the end of the 2019-20 year. If that trend continues, the district would dip into its reserves in 2020-21, she said. During the past four years, the district has received $12.5 million in additional money to restore money it lost during the recession, she said. “We only have $2.5 million left until we are, as we term, fully funded, and then after that we move into a COLA (cost of living adjustment) … a little under 2 percent (a year),” Staffieri said. “So the gap is closing very quickly … The days of large windfalls of revenues to catch us up have passed.” During the budget public hearing that followed the superintendent’s presentation, Ramona resident J. Dyer said, “It seems like the big problem here is the state.” He suggested the district establish a coalition to “take on the state and you get taxpayers to take on the state and fix it there” rather than look to the taxpayers to

pay more money. “I could see that there be coalition against the state,” he said. “I don’t know how to tackle it. You’re the professionals here, and this is really affecting your business.” What he doesn’t want to see is animosity between the community and the district, “with you guys taking the state problem and trying to dump it on the taxpayers.” Some in the education community exaggerated what would happen if a previous bond bid didn’t pass “and it never came to pass,” he said. Trustees also criticized the state. Increased pension costs are the result of the state shirking its responsibilities, “but they’ve handed us their problem,” said trustee Bob Stoody. “We never really got ahead,” said Trustee Rodger Dohm, this year’s school board president. “That’s what’s really frustrating.” What Staffieri said frustrates her is that the governor sends the public a message, “pass these propositions, we’re going to give more money to schools … to educate students.” “Yes, as schools we’ve received more money, but we also received mandated increased expenditure obligations,” she said.

the private sector. The money will come from unallocated reserves. Supervisor Dianne Jacob said establishment of the fund is a big step forward. “The fund is an investment in San Diego's future,” Jacob said. “It's a dynamic effort to enable those who are struggling toward realizing the American dream.” The steps approved by the supervisors also included transferring $500,000 from Roberts' neighborhood reinvestment account to the county Health and Human Services Agency to underwrite pre-development and planning activities for affordable housing, and identifying 11

county-owned properties to be used for residential construction. In May, the supervisors approved $1.84 million for 62 units for low-income seniors in Ramona. The as-yet unbuilt Ramona Senior Apartments will be for persons age 55 and older earning no more than 60 percent of the Area Median Income, which is $35,700 for one person and $52,900 for two people. The units will be on 2.87 acres on 16th Street next to Ramona Lutheran Church and School. A countywide tally of the homeless in January found an increase of 5 percent from last year to 9,116. Of those, 5,621 were unsheltered.

employees of $500,000, • District increases to employee pensions of $556,000, • Staffing changes resulting in an additional $413,000, and • Additional health benefit costs of $205,000. The governor indicated that schools will receive one-time dollars for the coming year, but the County Office of Education advises districts not to include that unknown, said Staffieri. The district received one-time dollars this year that it will not receive again, creating a loss of $418,500 for 2017-18. The spending plan adds an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Hanson Elementary for students who need therapeutic services. This would cost $171,000 but, because the services would be in Ramona rather than out of town, would save the district an estimated $250,000, she said. Included in the proposal are six new employees: three counselors at the elementary schools — the equivalent of half a counselor at each elementary school, an elementary music teacher, and two in the district’s Education Services Department — one to provide assessment and categorical support, and one to provide technology integration and curriculum support. The district would use

Directors consider options for reversed court ruling BY KAREN BRAINARD The Ramona Municipal Water District Board of Directors was scheduled to have a special meeting Wednesday, June 28, so it could be briefed by its attorneys on a reversed court judgment. A trial court judge’s ruling favoring RMWD in a class action lawsuit challenging the district’s sewer service charge was reversed in the 4th District Court of Appeal on June 13 and remanded to trial court. The attorneys representing RMWD could petition the state Supreme Court for a rehearing or a review, and have 30 days to do so, said Attorney Adriana Ochoa with Procopio Cory Hargreaves & Savitch LLP, which is representing the district. The appellate ruling was issued on the same day as the water board’s monthly meeting and its public hearing on proposed 2017-18 sewer fee increases. Those increases of 4 percent for the Santa Maria Sewer Service Area and 5 percent for San Vicente were approved by a 3-2 vote. “The Court of Appeal’s decision is a great victory for ratepayers in Ramona and throughout California,” stated Allison Goddard with Patterson Law Group, APC, one of the plaintiff’s attorneys, in an email. “It ensures that ratepayers have a realistic opportunity to enforce Proposition 218 and challenge

fees, like RMWD’s sewer service charges, that do not meet constitutional standards.” “We think the Court of Appeal got it wrong,” said Ochoa, but noted that it was a procedural issue and “has nothing to do with the merits of the case, which we think are strongly in the district’s favor.” The case, filed in 2014 on behalf of two commercial property owners in Ramona, Eugene Plantier and Orrin Day, claims that RMWD’s sewer service charge is unlawful and violates California's Proposition 218 because the district imposes a sewer service charge based on equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) value that bears no rational relationship to a parcel's actual wastewater use. Playing a major role in the appeal court decision was the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer’s Association, the author and principal sponsor of Proposition 218 in 1996, which filed an amicus curiae brief in support of the plaintiffs, according to court documents. The case had been bifurcated, at the water district’s request, into two phases with Phase 1 determining whether the plaintiffs had exhausted their administrative remedies by first protesting the fees at the Prop. 218 public hearings the district held on proposed sewer fee increases. The trial court found that the

plaintiffs had not done so and therefore did not have standing in court, preventing the case from moving into Phase 2 to determine whether the sewer charge is lawful. The Court of Appeal, however, found that the district’s Prop. 218 notices state the public hearings are to address protests over proposed fee increases as opposed to protests over the method used to charge the fee so the administrative remedy would not adequately apply. “HJTA’s amicus brief underscored the problems with the exhaustion requirement that RMWD was trying to impose under Proposition 218,” said Goddard. The appellate ruling allows the plaintiffs to recover their appeal costs. If the court sides with the plaintiffs in the second phase of the case, the district could be refunding ratepayers, who joined the class action suit, for wastewater service fees on or after Nov. 22, 2016. Resident Gary Hurst addressed the water board at the beginning of its June 13 meeting about the appeal court’s ruling, urging the district to settle the case because in reading the decision, he doesn’t think the district will win Phase 2. “And I think you're going to be wasting the ratepayers' money if you don’t settle the case,” he said.

Brush fire causes temporary evacuations Crews work overnight to contain blaze near Mesa Grande Reservation City News Service—A fire that charred 46 open acres near the Mesa Grande Reservation northeast of Ramona on Sunday was about 60 percent contained Monday. Fire crews worked throughout the night to get a handle on the so-called Black Fire, which had been burning in the vicinity of Black Canyon and Mesa Grande roads since early Sunday afternoon, according to Cal Fire. The fire broke out at about 12:50 p.m. near the intersection of Black Canyon and Mesa Grande roads and was dubbed the Black Fire due to its origin near Black Canyon Road, according to Cal Fire Capt. Isaac Sanchez. The blaze, originally thought to be about 75 acres, prompted authorities to temporarily evacuate three area homes Sunday, but the residents were later allowed to return, according to Cal Fire. No structural damage was reported. At least 20 fire engines, four fixed-wing firefighting airplanes, and four helicopters from Cal Fire and the U.S. Forest Service fought the fire.

Sarah Drown receives $10,000 in Don Diego awards Five other 2017 graduates honored with scholarships Sarah Drown of Ramona is the top recipient of the 26 San Diego County students receiving Don Diego scholarships this year. Three other Ramona residents and two Santa Ysabel students also received a scholarship. Each is a 2017 high school graduate who received a portion of the unprecedented $63,500 in scholarships from the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation. Drown received $10,000 — a $5,000 FFA award plus the coveted $5,000 Spanjian Family Scholarship honoring the “father” of the foundation, Bob Spanjian. “Our selection committee faced a challenging process,” said Jon Liss, foundation chair. “Offering college scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, we received dozens of applications from outstanding students. After finalists underwent rigorous interviews, the winners emerged.” The public had the opportunity to meet the Class of 2017 recipients at the Wild West Fest/Don Diego Gala & Frankie Valli Concert at the San Diego County Fair on June 22. The 26 scholarship recipients come from all parts of the county. Scholarships were open to students who participated in the San Diego County Fair and/or other activities associated with the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Awards were in the categories of 4-H, FFA (funded by the Walter J. and Betty C. Zable Foundation), Exhibitor/Participant (funded by the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation) and Employee. In addition, two Vocational/Technical (Voc/Tech) and 10 Junior Livestock Auction (JLA) scholarships rounded out the program. Liss describes Drown as “emblematic of the past, present, and future of our region’s rich agricultural traditions.” Her family is steeped in

Her involvement in FFA (Future Farmers of America) began at a young age and she has earned an array of awards for her accomplishments and held many leadership roles in that organization. “My involvement enabled me to raise and sell multiple market projects, including various breeds of sheep and goats, to help fund my college education,” she said. “The

We are delighted to provide a supportive vehicle for their success and eagerly look forward to their future attainments in college and career.” The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation was named for Don Diego, also known as Tom Hernandez, who served as the county fair’s welcoming goodwill ambassador from 1947-84.

Veteran to celebrate 104th birthday July 4th BY KAREN BRAINARD While citizens across the United States will be celebrating the country’s founding 241 years ago on July 4, Jack Memphis Briscoe in Ramona will be marking his 104th birthday. Briscoe, father of Ramona resident Jackie Caldwell, lives at Ramona Senior Manor where staff and residents are planning a birthday celebration. Briscoe served in the U.S. Navy from 1934 to 1956, and was in World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam. He moved the French Foreign Legion out of Vietnam on the USS Tortuga. In 1913, the year he was born, Woodrow Wilson was inaugurated as the 28th president, federal income tax took effect with ratification of the 16th amendment, Henry Ford established the first moving assembly line, and Greenland Ranch in Death Valley hit 134 degrees — the hottest recorded temperature. Briscoe was born in Memphis, Texas, and his family moved to Montana when he was 6 years old. His parents homesteaded and lived on a ranch raising animals, miles away from any town and living through the depression. The second oldest of seven children said they were dirt poor

and couldn’t afford shoes. “We didn’t know anything different,” he said. “They were isolated on this farm,” said Caldwell. “That’s all they knew.” He attended a one-room schoolhouse in the nearest town and to attend high school had to travel to a town 60 miles away and live in a boarding house. Briscoe joined the Civilian Conservation Corps and then enlisted in the Navy. “I was very happy when I went

Jima. When he wrote to his wife, he had to use certain code words so as not to give away locations and dates, he noted. Through his service his family, which also included Caldwell’s sister, Robin Luby, was stationed in Hawaii and Tennessee before they moved to San Diego. After the military, Briscoe worked as a mail carrier in La Mesa. Caldwell, a certified fitness instructor, moved her father to Ramona Senior Manor two years

into the Navy,” said Briscoe. “I got money for it, money to send home. And then when we went to Australia, I was in heaven.” That’s because when his Navy ship pulled into port in Australia in 1937, he met his wife, Dorothy. They were married for 70 years before she died at age 90. Briscoe served as a warrant officer and said they weren’t in real danger but “always in danger of submarines.” The veteran said he saw a lot of warfare and also saw the raising of the American flag at Iwo

Ramona Rotary 25th Annual

Family Picnic & Fireworks Event MAP & EVENT SCHEDULE • PARKING INFORMATION • FIREWORKS SUPPORTERS

Celebrating 25 Years of Fireworks

xpect more Boom, Boom, Booms and a brighter skyshow as Ramona Rotary Club celebrates its and the community’s 25th year of July 4th Family Picnic & Fireworks on Tuesday. In addition to being the 25th anniversary of fireworks in Ramona, 2017 marks Ramona Rotary’s 80th anniversary and the 100th year of the Rotary International Foundation, so Rotarians are stepping it up a notch this year. As always, admission is free and the fun starts at 5 p.m. with an old-fashioned community celebration that includes food, games, family activities, and music. The grand finale will start at 9 p.m. with a 20-minute skyshow synchronized to music on KyXy 96.5 FM Radio. All activities will be on the fields behind Olive Peirce Middle School, 1521 Hanson Lane. This annual event is an off-shoot of a dream Ramona resident Roy Winchell had. He thought Ramonans shouldn’t have to drive down the hill to enjoy Independence Day and he was concerned for their safety on the return home up the

winding highways of 67 and 78 after a long day of celebration. His idea of a hometown celebration with fireworks was just lunchtime talk and a pipedream until 1993, when he was president of the Ramona Rotary Club. He and fellow Rotarian Arnie Fry decided that was the year to make it happen. With only a few months until July 4th, they made calls – to fire officials, school officials, fireworks vendors, and businesses who might be potential sponsors – posing questions and getting answers. Despite those who said having a fireworks show in Ramona would never get off the ground because of the fire danger, Winchell and Fry pushed on, winning over the naysayers and then getting the thumbs up for their proposal and planning from officials. Due to a conservative fundraising budget of $4,000, the fireworks vendor working with Winchell and Fry put together a basic, but very colorful, skyshow and put Rotary in touch with KyXy Radio so the Ramona show could become

“ The strength of a Nation Lies in the Homes of its People” – Unknown

part of a fireworks network – getting more bang for the buck, so to speak, since shows that were part of the network could get more fireworks for less money, plus patriotic music accompaniment. Hoping for the best, Rotarians asked for and received the community and business donations they needed and worked with the school district to put on the first Ramona skyshow from the fields behind Ramona High School. On July 4, 1993, Rotarians didn’t know what to expect, since everything had come together so quickly. There were a few booths and some games, but people came and they had fun. At 9 p.m., when the rockets began to light up Ramona’s skies, accompanied by “God Bless America,” “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “Proud to Be an American” and more, the thunderous applause made it clear: This had to be an annual event. Since then, the location of the festivities has moved to the fields behind Olive Peirce Middle School. Today, Ramona Rotary, in coordination with Pyro-Spectaculars and the KyXy Radio network,

and with the continued and growing support of the community and businesses, is still lighting up the skies of Ramona on our country’s Independence Day. It’s a long way from that first $4,000 event. Today’s event costs $33,000 to produce, including equipment, security, insurance, fire plan and inspection, fire code specialist, and, of course, the rockets’ red glare. At the time of this printing, $18,000 had been raised for the 2017 event. Look for a Rotarian holding a donation jar in front of Albertsons, Stater Bros., and Kmart from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and at the entrance to the celebration on Tuesday. With your help, Rotarians have no doubt the club will meet its goal. And it’s all thanks to the determination and perseverance of two Rotarians who wouldn’t take no for an answer, and the continuing hard work of Ramona Rotarians who, year after year, put in months of planning and organization to make sure that, once again, July 4th in Ramona is a spectacular event.

From our Home to Yours. . .

Happy Independence Day!

Golf tournament raises $7,000 for schools Golfers, sponsors, and opportunity drawing and silent auction donors contributed to the $7,000 raised at the Chip in for Education FORUS Golf Tournament at San Vicente Resort & Golf Course. The National Weather Service recorded a temperature high of 96 degrees during the June 16 event, but that didn’t deter golfers from enjoying the afternoon. Presented by H5 Financial Loan Officer Shelly Heimer, the second annual tournament benefits Friends of Ramona Unified Schools’ health and safety projects at the schools.

“I’m just so excited that we made so much money for our schools,” said Heimer. Heimer, a 1993 Ramona High School graduate, appreciates the support she received as a student in Ramona and strives to give back. In addition to hosting the golf tournament, she donates $100 of every transaction to FORUS, and she provides lunches for school employees during Staff Appreciation Week each spring.

Cafe owner finds success with home-style meals BY KAREN BRAINARD Sonja Steiner said she always wanted to own a restaurant. As did her mother, the late Maria Steiner, who was born in Switzerland where her family owned a restaurant. So, shortly after Steiner graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Food Science Nutrition, she and her mother fulfilled their dream by buying The Ramona Café. “I was only 24 when I bought it with her,” Steiner said, adding that she was the principal partner while her mother was there for support. That was 30 years ago. “It’s just amazing. I can’t believe it’s been 30 years,”

COMMUNITY PROFILE said Steiner. “It’s been fun, challenging, rewarding, hard work, blood, sweat and tears.” Steiner said she’s grateful for the customers who come in and appreciate the café’s home-style, made-from-scratch meals, noting the “extra effort does pay off.” The mother and daughter opened Ramona Café on June 1, 1987. The restaurant, which dates back to the 1920s, had been re-established six years prior, she said. Among her prized possessions are two letters from 1928. In one, a cook in

Life Tributes

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Joan ‘Jody’ Qualls-Jensen october 1938 - June 2017

Ramona — Joan “Jody” marie Qualls was born in Bakersfield to Eugene Qualls and annie Goldie Brennan Qualls of oklahoma. Joan picked cotton as a child and helped her mother make clothes. as a teen she sang on the radio and at Knott’s Berry Farm. She was a cheerleader, very athletic and married her bad-boy husband, “Ron” who crashed her teen birthday party. Joan was a bigger-thanlife person reaching out and touching people all along her life’s journey. She loved to sing, play guitar, host parties and build things. and boy did she build. If she’d had a redo, she likely would have been a contractor, it was in her blood! mom “Jody” was a mother to more than just those she gave birth to. She had a heart for the less fortunate and gave shelter, food and clothing to many who came to her door. She shared a little of her enormous love with them. animals were also treated with special love

and respect. Her dogs accompanied her to the store and lunched most anywhere she could get away with it. Joan was an amazing, remarkable, kind, generous, wonderful, talented woman. She was “everybody’s mom” and had a “heart of gold.” She is survived by her adult children, Ron Jensen, Susan michalek and mike Jensen. We miss her dearly, but look forward to a reunion when we will see her again in Glory. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

Arizona wrote to the then owner of Ramona Café, questioning if any positions were open as he would like to return there to work. The owner responded that there would always be a spot open for him. Steiner said she laminated the letters and has them in safe-keeping “because I think that’s pretty cool.” After about three years, Steiner said she began running the business on her own, but her mother’s cinnamon rolls remained a signature item. Those cinnamon rolls were featured on the TV show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” in 1987, but they were not what the show’s producers were originally going to feature. The show was doing a “Totally Fried” segment and contacted Steiner about her Chicken Cordon Bleu. Steiner said she thought it was a joke at first and didn’t really believe it until the film crew arrived on July 8. Steiner said when Guy Fieri came in, Jeff Hollie, one of her regular customers, impressed upon the show host that he needed to include the cinnamon rolls. It took a bit of re-arranging for the film crew, she said, but the behemoth cinnamon rolls made it into the

It’s my mom’s legacy — she’s the one who got that going years ago.” The episode aired about a week before the Witch Creek Fire ripped through Ramona and shut the town down. With no water available, Steiner was able open her restaurant by using disposable plates and cutlery, buying water, and purchasing food from the

grocery stores. “People really appreciated they could go out and get something to eat,” she said. While viewers of the show could not check out the café during the fire, they found their way up afterward. “We had people lined up outside the door. I had to hire more people,” she said. The episode is not her only claim to fame. The restaurant’s dishes have also been featured in the book “Roadfood,” and in such magazines as Gourmet and Bon Appetit.

Other popular dishes are the chicken fried steak and The Plowboy breakfast entrée. Steiner, a 1979 Ramona High graduate who moved to the community in 1966 with her family, said many people yearn for the home-style meals they had growing up. “Good food brings back good memories. This is what we do. This is what Ramona Café is all about,” she said. Changes over the years include adding the outdoor dog-friendly patio and an online ordering option.

WOMAN’S CLUB WELCOMES 2017-18 BOARD Ramona Woman’s Club welcomes its 2017-18 Executive Board and Directors at a recent luncheon meeting.

Adapted Physical Education stages 25th Annual meet Editor’s Note: The end of the Ramona Unified school year gives the Sentinel an opportunity to publish school photos and news that, due to space limitations, did not appear earlier. Candace Cox, Ramona Unified’s former adapted physical education specialist, came out of retirement to help at the Bulldog Invitational 25th annual Adapted PE Track & Field meet. Student peer helpers and Ramona High athletes assisted adapted PE teacher Connie Halfaker, adapted PE specialist Ashley Mathews, Cox, and the elementary-through-high-school participants at the meet, held on the Bulldog Stadium track. Dunkin’ Donuts, McDonald’s, and Cold Stone Creamery provided coupons, participants’ parents supplied snacks, other students volunteered at the snack tables, and a silent auction benefited Tom’s Club, making it possible for students facing varying challenges to participate in ski trips and community events. “It seems like yesterday” when the meet started 25 years ago at the older track on Ninth Street, said Cox. “What a great facility to have this event,” she said at the current Bulldog track on Hanson Lane. “I’m so excited to see you guys running and jumping and throwing.” Students participated in age groups, with elementary students wearing green T-shirts, middle school participants wearing red, and older students wearing black shirts and blue shirts.

Hanah Bowen: CIF Player of the Year Curo on first team; Fick and Neil on second team BY JOE NAIMAN The panel of coaches and media members whose consensus resulted in the all-CIF softball selections placed four Ramona High School players on all-CIF teams and chose recent graduate Hanah Bowen as the 2017 CIF San Diego Section Player of the Year. "I'm just really honored and super excited that I got the award," Bowen said. Bowen was joined on the all-CIF first team by incoming junior Seneca Curo. The second team included recent RHS graduate Jordyn Fick and incoming senior Alexa Neil. "That's awesome," Ramona coach Kristina Wright said of having four all-CIF players. "Those girls absolutely deserve to be first-team and second-team all-CIF just because of the year that they had, the role they played in our team. Those four had such a critical role." Ramona had a 29-5 overall record for 2017 with the final loss occurring in the CIF Open Division championship game. The Bulldogs won their fourth consecutive Valley League championship and had an 8-0 record during league play. Bowen, primarily a pitcher, also played third base. She had a mound

record of 24-1 with the loss occurring in the extra-inning CIF Open Division championship game against Cathedral Catholic when the Dons scored three runs in the 10th inning for a 3-0 victory. The 24 victories in a season set a team record. At the plate Bowen batted .489 with 46 hits in 94 at-bats. Her 15 doubles, one triple, and three home runs gave her a slugging percentage of .765, and she also reached base 12 times by walk and three times as a hit batter for an on-base percentage of .555. Bowen scored 30 runs while driving in 33 runs, she was successful on all three of her stolen base attempts, and she did not commit a fielding error during the season. "That is fantastic," Wright said of Bowen being chosen as the CIF player of the year. Wright cited Bowen's ability to cause opponents to react specifically to her. "As a player you can have an impact on another team," Wright said. "Their whole mentality is different." The all-CIF recognition is the third for Bowen but the first for her as a first-team member. Bowen was on the all-CIF second team as a sophomore in 2015 and as a junior in 2016. "I've always wanted to get first. I just worked really hard to get that," Bowen said. The all-CIF selection committee had both a player of the year and a pitcher of the year. Cathedral Catholic junior Megan Faraimo, who defeated Ramona in the CIF final, was the pitcher of the

ALL-CIF PLAYERSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;In addition to earning first-team Valley League recognition, four Ramona High 2017 varsity softball players are honored during All San Diego CIF Awards in the Hall of Champions in San Diego: Jordyn Fick, Seneca Curo, Hanah Bowen, and Alexa Neil. year. "I would rather get player of the year," said Bowen. "I feel like player is everything: pitching, batting, fielding. I'm really excited for that." Bowen was on Ramona High School's softball varsity for all four of her high school seasons and was a first-team Valley League selection all four years. She was the league's player of the year as a sophomore and the Valley League pitcher of the year as a junior. This year Bowen was selected as the Valley League pitcher of the year and Neil was the league's player of the year. "I felt like I got better each year and a little big stronger," Bowen said. "It was a good all four seasons." Bowen was 5 when she began her softball career with the Ramona Girls Softball Association at the T-ball level.

She attended Ramona Community School from kindergarten through sixth grade before spending seventh and eighth grades at Olive Peirce Middle School. On Nov. 9 Bowen signed a letter of intent to play softball at the University of Arizona. Curo, who was named to the all-CIF first team as an infielder, batted .462 and her 48 hits included nine doubles and ten home runs. She scored 48 runs while driving in 39. "As a sophomore making all-CIF is just unbelievable," Wright said. Curo is the first Ramona sophomore to receive all-CIF honors during Wright's tenure as the Bulldogs' coach. Cori McDonald coached Ramona in 2015 when Bowen was an all-CIF player. "She is really like Hanah," Wright

said of Curo. "She just brings a calm sense of confidence to the field." Curo's final home run and final four runs batted in ended the CIF semifinal against Granite Hills. The Eagles took a 2-1 lead in the top of the eighth inning, and after Ramona loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth Curo belted a grand slam. "There's no other player that I'd want in a clutch situation," said Wright. Fick batted .422 with her 43 hits including nine doubles, a triple, and two home runs. She scored 37 times and had 29 runs batted in. "She was able to have an influence on our team," said Wright. Fick was Ramona's center fielder and was a Valley League first team selection for her final three high school seasons. The Nov. 9 letter of intent signings included Fick's commitment to play softball at San Diego State University. Neil had a .429 average and set team records with 51 hits and 13 doubles. Neil and Curo each scored 48 runs for the new single-season team record. Neil also had four triples, 11 home runs, and 37 runs driven in. "Alexa had a very solid year," Wright said. "I'm absolutely proud of everything she was able to accomplish this year." Neil's statistics also included only two fielding errors even though she was in the Ramona infield throughout the season. "She is one of the best second basemen that I've ever seen," said Wright.

Battle on the Mountain returns to Ramona BY JOE NAIMAN Three years ago Ramona High School head football coach Damon Baldwin founded the Battle on the Mountain 7 on 7 Tournament for junior varsity and freshman teams. This year the tournament will be a two-day event with 12 freshmen teams participating June 30 and 16 junior varsity squads playing July 1 games. "It's just a great tournament. It's grown so much," Baldwin said. The seven-on-seven games are in a one-hand touch format and are 35 minutes long using a 50-yard field. The tournament consists of pool play followed by bracket competition. Freshman play will begin at noon on Friday and go until about 6:30 p.m. The JV tournament will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday and go until about 4 p.m. "It's a great opportunity for younger kids to get a taste of what seven on seven is about," Baldwin said. "It helps develop your program." CIF officials will enforce the game rules for the tournament. Ramona's varsity players will control the clocks on each field. RHS Assistant Principal Mike Ernst will handle operations the day of the game to allow Baldwin to observe the games on the various fields. There is no admission charge for the Battle on

the Mountain tournament games, although a snack bar will allow for food and beverage purchases as well as for proceeds the football program can use. Ramona High School's song and dance team will be selling Battle on the Mountain T-shirts with proceeds being going to that activity. Battle on the Mountain began in 2014 with six teams. Ten teams participated in 2015 and 16 in 2016. "It's going to keep building," Baldwin said. Some of the top football programs in San Diego County will be participating in this year's tournament, and schools from Imperial County and southern Riverside County will also be visiting Ramona. "They're all coming up the hill," Baldwin said. Many varsity teams participate in summer seven-on-seven non-contact tournaments, and Baldwin, who created Battle on the Mountain to provide that experience to lower-level players. Although the tournament does not include varsity teams, Ramona's varsity took advantage of other seven-on-seven tournaments this month. "It was a great team bonding, and we've really been able to evaluate a lot of players," Baldwin said. "We feel very good about how things are going."

The 32-team Los Angeles Rams regional tournament took place June 10 in Thousand Oaks. "The L.A. tournament was a great experience for our young men. It was just a really good trip for everybody involved," Baldwin said. Some Ramona football players were unable to participate in the seven-on-seven tournaments due to participation in other sports or to military academy trips. "When you're missing kids, you get a chance to find others," Baldwin said. "We've really built depth early in the summer." The seven-on-seven tournaments thus allow younger players to gain experience against varsity-level teams. The Los Angeles Rams regional tournament allowed the Bulldogs to experience some of the Southern Section's top programs. "We played literally four or five of the top teams in the state," Baldwin said. Ramona had a 2-3 record in the Los Angeles Rams tournament. "We could have very easily been 5 and 1 in L.A. It was that close," Baldwin said. "We did some good things." The preparation is more important to Baldwin than the Bulldogs' record, and the Los Angeles

Rams tournament was followed by the San Diego State University tournament June 17. "The L.A. tournament really made us ready for San Diego State," Baldwin said. Ramona had a 4-1 record at the San Diego State tournament. "We got a chance to go to the finals. We played really well," Baldwin said. Casey Buggeln, who is expected to be the Bulldogs' first-string quarterback this fall, was unable to participate so Derek Diamond was Ramona's quarterback. "Derek did a phenomenal job at quarterback coming out of baseball," Baldwin said. (Diamond participated on Ramona High School's baseball team rather than in football spring practice, as Baldwin encourages his players to participate in other spring sports to gain competition experience. Ramona's baseball team had four playoff games before a May 30 loss to San Marcos ended the Bulldogs' season.) "These high-level tournaments are really helping our kids," Baldwin said. Baldwin is a former San Diego State assistant football coach. When another team was needed for the San Diego State tournament, an invitation was extended to Ramona's junior varsity team to participate in the varsity-level tournament.

ated by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $472,685.89 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest 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.

NEWS BRIEFS Nighttime roadwork Nighttime lane closures on state Route 67 at the Dye/Highland Valley Road intersection that began Tuesday are expected to end Thursday but will return on Sunday. The night work is from 7 p.m. until 5 a.m. The closures this week are for paving as part of the intersection improvement project. Sunday’s work will be for temporary striping followed by opening all of the modified lanes to traffic. At least one lane will remain open during work activities. Personnel with flags are onsite to help direct motorists through the construction zone when one-way traffic control is in place. Motorists are advised to expect traffic

delays and to allow additional travel time. The SR-67 Dye/Highland Valley Road Improvement Project is widening SR-67 at the intersection from one to two through lanes in each direction and includes additional turn lanes on SR-67 to improve traffic flow. Final paving and striping is expected to be completed by early August. More information is at bit.ly/2teBLVp.

Disposal delay In observance of the Fourth of July holiday on Tuesday, Ramona Disposal will not provide residential collection services, and the customer service office and recycling buyback center will be closed. As a result, residential collection will be delayed by one

day all week following the holiday. Commercial and residential dumpster service will be unaffected by the holiday and will be provided on the regularly scheduled service day. Ramona Disposal’s public disposal site will also remain open on July 4.

BUSINESS TREATS SCHOOL EMPLOYEES TO END-OF-YEAR LUNCH Country Wine & Spirits (CWS) General Manager Steve Hermiz and Ramona High School Assistant Principal Ed VanHoose greet each other as counselors Andres Martin and Ave Williams and B.C. Roque with campus security get a head start on the free end-of-the school year luncheon for administrators and faculty. CWS provides the free luncheon as a way of giving back to the community. This year the business treated educators to Greek salad, sandwiches, wraps, drinks, and pizza from Ra-mona Lisa’s, which CWS owns along with three markets in town. In addition to Ramona High School, it provided lunch to Montecito High School and three Ramona elementary schools.

A Ramona high school senior was among 23 students countywide named 2017 Cox Scholars and awarded scholarships from Cox Charities, the philanthropic arm of Cox Communications. The 2017 Ramona Cox Scholar is Shannon Linder, who will attend Yale University in the fall. She plans to become a human rights attorney. Cox Charities awarded a total of $77,500 to graduating high school seniors in San Diego County for their academic success, community service, leadership, and commitment to their education despite facing adversity. Linder received a $2,500 scholarship. “The Cox Scholars program is highly competitive, and there are so many deserving students who apply,” said Sam

Shannon Linder Attisha, senior vice president and region manager of Cox Communications. “These students set themselves apart in their dedication and commitment to their educational goals and community involvement, and Cox and its employees are pleased to present them with a scholarship.”

The Cox Scholars program is open to graduating high school seniors who live in a Cox service area and meet various academic and community service criteria. Funded by employee payroll donations that are matched by the company, Cox Charities provides support to communities in Cox Communications’ service area by awarding scholarships to high school seniors and grants to nonprofit organizations. A volunteer advisory board of Cox employees oversees the foundation and its giving programs. The 23 Cox Scholars were recognized at Cox Night at the Ballpark during the Padres game on May 20.

SHERIFF’S REPORTS The sheriff’s Ramona substation reminds hikers to prevent car burglaries by not leaving valuables in sight and locking their car. Vehicle burglaries have occurred at the Mt. Woodson trail, Cedar Creek Falls Trail, and Barnett Ranch Preserve. The reminder on Twitter is a tip for all residents to follow as Sgt. Robert Samuels said a thief will only break into a vehicle if he sees something in it to steal, because most thieves are just opportunists. Samuels said a lot of people won’t smash windows but will try door handles. Locking doors to homes, businesses, and other buildings as well as vehicles is important to protect possessions. Many times thefts have occurred because the items were easily accessible, said the sergeant. He also advised against leaving items in the yard or leaving the garage door open.

The Lum Eisenman Wine Competition, chaired this year by Don Bartick, vineyard owner and amateur winemaker as well as the owner of the Starry Night Inn, was created to give individual winemakers in the association constructive feedback on their techniques and results and to improve winemaking throughout the Ramona Valley. Bill Schweitzer, RVVA president, said, “Our wines keep getting better and better!” Best of Show Best of Show—Commercial went to Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery for Sangiovese Reserve 2012.
