BY KAREN BRAINARD Commuters should see a significant reduction in wait times heading out of Ramona in the mornings and back to the community in the afternoon/evening, according to Caltrans’ engineers. Their year-long construction project at the state Route 67 and Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection that began June 2 should reduce afternoon back-ups into Ramona from three miles to half a mile, said Lou Melendez, Caltrans project manager. Melendez said he plans to be at the Ramona Community Planning Group’s July 7 meeting to give an update, tell residents what to expect and take comments. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Library Community Room, 1275 Main St. Melendez said Caltrans has studied the intersection for a long time and the timing was perfect to start the project. “This was the best time because we got the county to partner with us,” he said. Caltrans has teamed up with the county Department of Public Works. Intersection improvements were previously slated to start after 2035, SEE CALTRANS, A25

In a recent Facebook post, Ramona Unified School District announced a new partnership with Palomar College. The college will offer the following courses on the Ramona Community School campus at 1010 Ramona St. in the fall: • ECON 100 Basic Economics • HIST 101 U.S. through Reconstruction • SOC 100 Introduction to Sociology • ASL 100 American Sign Language 1 • SPCH 100 Oral Communication “Details are still emerging about enrollment procedures and timelines,” the district stated in its post. “With more classes to be offered after this initial offering, the district is also in talks with the college to start a Middle College program in 2018-19 where high school students can work toward both their diploma and AA degree concurrently during the school day.” More information about the 2016-17 fall classes will be on the district website, www.ramonausd.net, or from Ramona Community Principal Kathryn Gunderson at 760-787-3600.

Motorcyclist dies in collision A motorcyclist in his 20s from San Clemente was killed Friday afternoon in a collision with a Jeep on state Route 78 near San Diego Zoo Safari Park, reported authorities. At about 4:15 p.m., the driver of a Kawasaki 650 motorcycle was traveling at a high speed westbound in the 17000 block of San Pasqual Valley Road, or state Route 78, according to San Diego Police Department Officer Robert Heims.

The motorcyclist, whose name was not released, tried to navigate a turn, lost control and collided with a blue Jeep traveling eastbound, that was driven by a 25-year-old man, Heims said. The motorcyclist died at the scene of the accident, Heims said. No other injuries were reported. Authorities closed state Route 78 between Old Milky Way and Weekend Villa Road to allow for investigation and cleanup.

VALVE REPLACEMENT PROJECT Ramona Municipal Water District conducts a valve replacement project at San Vicente Road and Hanson Lane. In February the water board approved a contract for the approximately $106,470 project that also included a valve replacement at Hanson and Keyes Road, already completed. The original valves at both intersections were installed in 1958, reports the water district.

Rescued horses ready for adoption administrative hearing, said Lt. Dan DeSousa. The horses were underweight, with many of them having severe hoof issues. Two of the horses were too far gone and had to be euthanized to alleviate their suffering, according to DeSousa. The remaining horses have been under veterinary care and are

proper care, those conditions should resolve themselves. The horses available for adoption include three Belgians, five thoroughbreds, four Quarter Horses and one Quarter Horse/Arab mix. All of the horses are at the animal services center in Bonita. The adoption prices vary per horse and interested adopters were encouraged to visit the Bonita shelter to view the horses and obtain the adoption prices.

Graeff ends tenure in Ramona BY ALEXIS NAGEM After eight years as the Ramona Unified School District’s superintendent, Robert Graeff, Ed.D., will retire on June 30. Graeff has been active in public education for 40 years. Before becoming Ramona Unified superintendent, he worked in various branches of the educational system, including teacher, vice principal and principal at different schools and grade levels. “I tried very hard never to lose sight of what it’s like to be at a school,” said Graeff. “It’s very easy to begin to look at life in the district office standpoint, which sells kids short. Kids don’t come here. They go there. So it’s important to always think, ‘OK, what decision should we make that is good for kids, good for teachers in the classroom versus convenient for administration.’” Graeff joined the Ramona district in 2001, when he was hired as assistant superintendent of education services. In spring of 2008, the school board invited him to be superintendent of schools.

“It seemed like a natural next step,” said Graeff. “I really enjoy working Ramona. It was an opportunity to serve the community in a larger role than I currently had at the time.” As superintendent, Graeff had various goals for the district. Ramona is a high-performing school district, with state testing scores much better than the county of San Diego and the state of California, he said. “We generally perform very, very well in state testing, advance placement test, SAT scores for potential college students, ACT scores, etc.,” Graeff said. As well as wanting to continue that high performance, Graeff worked to help more students in the community attend college and universities. “In Ramona we’re far away, we’re semi-rural, that’s an image that needs to change in this community. I think we set ourselves short and we have more to offer than was thought of in the past,” said Graeff. “We’ve had a lot of success at increasing our number of students who are eligible to meet University of

Robert Graeff, Ed.D., superintendent of Ramona schools for the past eight years, reflects on his tenure as the district’s chief executive officer. California standards.” Along with preparing students for college and university, Dr. Graeff wanted to help more students gain access to technology. Calling the process a “one-to-one implementation,” Graeff said that there is now an Internet-connected device for almost every student every day. “We’re about 85 percent of the way there,” he said. Graeff also worked to convince the community to approve a school bond that would provide improvements to campus facilities, but the 55 percent vote needed

was unable to be reached. “Ramona is the only school district in this county not to have taken out a school bond,” Graeff said. Reflecting on his time in Ramona, Graeff said he admires the accomplishments of the students and administrators who learned and worked within the district. Though the district consists of only nine campuses, Graeff noted that they have received roughly 40 or 50 awards. These included Gold Ribbon School, Distinguished School and National Blue Ribbon

School awards. “Many schools were awarded a lot,” said Graeff. “Whatever we’re doing at the school sites is significant enough that it is receiving ongoing recognition. I really think that’s positive.” The administration in the district has also left Graeff with much to admire. “I’m very, very proud of the administrators that we have in our school district,” he said. “We have nine principals moving forward to next year, if you counted the two we just hired, and I think they’re SEE GRAEFF, A25

GUEST COMMENTARY

Can defense and justice system head off terrorism? BY OSCAR A. QUINONES Every fiscal year the U.S government allocates billions of dollars from our national treasury to maintain what our political establishment calls a strong defense. That, I believe, is good sense. My questions is, where is the beef? In light of the recent mass shootings by terrorists (San Bernardino and Orlando), our politicians are showing fear. The defense formula they adopted is full of holes, and none of the smart or dumb bombs can help alleviate the issue. The political rhetoric has turned to the “new laws formula,” and the call to war is beginning to resonate all over. The media has begun to present the interviews of our “defense experts” and the political parade has gone into full swing. Where were the “experts” before the attacks? After the fact, anyone can be an expert. The political candidates are pointing crossed fingers at each other and promising more of the same formula. One difference, though — this time they assure us that the round peg is really going to fit perfectly in the square hole. Life is terminal, and we need to make choices for the benefit and well-being of all of us and of future generations. I believe that more war is a huge mistake and is not going to solve a thing, other than worsen an already weak economy and embolden more terrorists. Here I would like to paraphrase President Ronald Reagan: war is not the solution, war is the problem. The cost of waging war is ruining our nation, as much morally as economically. We, as a nation, are in need of reassessing our priorities, or in the not to distant future our cities are going to look like the ruins of the Roman Empire — once great cities, now a past story of power, greed and grandeur. We have always taken pride in the fact that we are a nation of law and order. In an effort of maintaining some degree of civil control, our legislators criminalize just about everything from A to Z, none of which really protects anyone. No law in existence protects anyone against the crime for which that law was written. Instead our justice system clings to the old Middle Eastern philosophy of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Our justice system became a massive political and commercial enterprise of which only the victims are losers. A holy mess of contradictory and unnecessary laws, bylaws, codes, ordinances, mandate, etc., etc., to be enforced by: the local police, sheriffs, rangers, border patrol, national security, marshals, attorney general police, state police, inspectors, FBI — and the beat goes on. In many respects some of the laws are totally worthless — and unnecessary, assuming we can live by a reasonably high degree of civic convictions. New laws are not the solution for terrorism and/or crime. We need to take a break and try to educate our people in civism, and here is why: SEE QUINONES, A5

GUEST COMMENTARY

The Revolution’s Last Battle BY HARRY GOLDEN Yorktown was not the end of the Revolutionary War. The Americans were to gain one victory more. In 1783, negotiations for final peace and independence for the Colonies were ended. On Nov. 10, 1783, there remained in New York the remnants of the British armies, some 6,000 British soldiers. There were also 4,000 civilians who were “loyalists” and who had come to New York to be evacuated with the British fleet. The fleet was assembled in New York Harbor and it was hoped that embarkation would be accomplished by Nov. 19. The British were to occupy the old fort at Bowling Green until noon of that day, when the American contingent would march down the Old Post Road and into the Bowery, take final possession of the fort, and raise the American flag — which represented a “new constellation of states among nations.” Major Cunningham, the British provost marshal of New York during the war and the infamous commander of the military prison, was late and was only now on his way to board a British frigate. As Cunningham, who was a mean-dispositioned man, rode down Broadway, his eye lit upon an American flag flying from the home of Mrs. Francis Day on Lispenard Street. Mrs. Day’s home was about half a block

out of Major Cunningham’s route, but the military agreement had been that America remain technically British until the fort was emptied and the Americans occupied it. Mrs. Day was in technical violation. Galloping over to Mrs. Day’s residence, the British major reined his horse and tugged hard at the flag’s rope. Out of the house came Mrs. Day, armed with a broomstick. The powder in Major Cunningham’s wig dusted the air as Mrs. Day let him have one over the head. Two sergeants tried to restrain her. She knocked the first off his horse, swatted Major Cunningham again, and with unerring accuracy landed a bitter blow over the back of the second sergeant. Major Cunningham came back to the fight. He tried to grapple with Mrs. Day, but she let him have the broom flush across the face. The Britisher had had it. He was forced to retreat. Major Cunningham was the last British soldier to leave the Colonies, and the first to leave the United States of America. His defeat at the hands of Mrs. Day made him the butt of many jokes and an extremely unpopular man among the good people of the Mother Country. Author Harry Golden died in 1981. Ramona resident Harold Schachter received permission from John Goldhurst, the copyright holder, to reprint Golden’s essay.

OUR READERS WRITE Outraged at unnecessary losses Am I the only taxpayer who is outraged at the cost in lives and taxpayer dollars attributed to the Cedar Falls and respective trails? According to your article in last week's Sentinel, in 2015 between Memorial Day and Labor Day, there were about 100 rescues and two fatalities! Half of the rescues required a sheriff's helicopter at the cost of $10,000 EACH. According to my math that is 50 times $10,000 which equates to $500,000. Are you kidding me! We taxpayers have to pay for the stupidity of amateur "hikers" who don't

have the common sense of a gnat, not to mention our elected leaders who keep this area open and know of the hazards, but what do you expect — it is the taxpayer footing the bill again so what do they care? It is inconceivable that this area /trails have not been closed before someone else dies. And to say nothing of the so-called "mural" which will just encourage the nitwits to hike down there for some fun, then to be rescued at our expense. I would like one of our "leaders" to tell me why this hasn't been closed considering the hazards. Sandy Bruehling Ramona

FROM QUINONES, A4 Our justice system has not caused a decrease in unruly citizens, but instead it has become a huge human warehousing business. We build our prisons and the laws cause them to be filled almost as soon as the prisons are built. Something is definitely wrong with the system, and it will take years and ownership by our politicians to solve our problems. But if we went to the moon and solved huge obstacles, the solving of our social problems is doable, I believe, in one generation if we set our might to do it. The call to stop some people from reaching our soil and entering the U.S. is a natural human reaction. None of us wants to become the victim of what I call an armed baboon infected with the holy syndrome of religion. We do not need to import them; we have our own home brew. If you add to that the fact that all of us want to preserve our rights and freedoms and live in relative peace, then you have the answer: As Louis said in “Casablanca,” “Round up the usual suspects,” and keep the rest as far away from our shores as possible. When a ship is taking on water, you do not make the hole larger. You mend the little hole. May the force of reason inspire us all, especially our dear politicians. Oscar A. Quinones is a Ramona resident. S T A T E

PTA honors educators, community volunteers Four teachers, several community members, a school secretary and the outgoing superintendent are recipients of awards from the Sun Valley Council PTA, the umbrella organization representing all of the school PTAs in Ramona Unified School District. Nick Jordan, Gloria Quinn, Connie Halfaker and Damon Baldwin received Outstanding Teacher awards. Jordan, construction trades teacher at Montecito High School, and Quinn, functional skills teacher at Ramona High School, attended the council’s Volunteer Appreciation Event at Vineyard Grant James. Lori Stevens, Sun Valley Council PTA president, presented the awards on behalf of the council. “In two short years, Nick’s high-level energy, extraordinary rapport with teenagers, and his very positive ‘can-do’ attitude has drawn praise from all across the district,” she said. “…Besides performing so many important functions at our schools, his students are learning valuable lessons in construction, repair and public relations.” Jordan’s students created a partnership with Hanson Elementary fifth-graders to build benches and planters, provided support for the district’s maintenance workers on numerous T H E

Her composting Earth Tub and food recycling program has received county, state and federal attention and benefited her students, the agriculture program at Ramona High and the environment. The council credited Baldwin, Ramona High athletic director and

head football coach since 2005, with supporting every sport program on the campus. Ramona teams have made the CIF playoffs for 11 consecutive years, noted Stevens. “But more than that, he has helped shape the lives of young men on his teams using football as a metaphor for life, focusing on character, conduct and academics always before the game itself,” she said. Assistant Superintendent of Education Services Theresa Grace accepted the award for Halfaker, who was at an all-star game. Halfaker has coached varsity girls and boys volleyball for the past two decades. Her girls team has won two CIF championships. She is the Southern California Girls Volleyball Coach of the Year, and she also works with special needs students through adaptive physical education classes at each school in the district. A Very Special Person Award went to businesswoman and parent Shelly Heimer. “Always one to give a little more or go the extra mile, Shelly cares about our schools and students,” said Stevens. “Whether she is organizing a golf tournament, thanking teachers by providing all teachers and staff a catered lunch during Staff SEE PTA, A6

FROM PTA, A5 Appreciation Week, or donating a portion of her income, Shelly is determined to make our schools better for not only her children but for all the children of Ramona.” The Honorary Service Award went to Susana Abarca, the principal’s secretary at Ramona Elementary. The county honored her at this year’s Biliteracy Symposium for her contribution to the Spanish-speaking students and parents of her community. “As the first face parents see when they enter the office at R.E., Susana is a breath of fresh air that any parent would want for their school,” said Stevens. Continuing Service awards went to Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS) and Lynne Knowd. FORUS Board members Greg Chick, Lynda Kubinak and Perla Martinez represented the nonprofit organization comprised of community members, retired teachers, student liaisons and others. Established after the defeat of Proposition R in 2012, FORUS focuses on health and safety projects at the schools. Through private fundraising and donations, FORUS has worked on projects such as restroom repairs at Ramona High and the middle school, purchasing and installing vandal-proof soap dispensers at the secondary schools, purchasing drinking fountains and bottle fillers at several schools, funding roof repairs, and purchasing restroom hand dryers. The group coordinates its efforts with the district’s maintenance department. Knowd developed the Quad Crown Races at the elementary schools seven years ago. Held at different campuses, five one-mile races are held each year. Participating students receive T-shirts, and the races have

helped bring the schools and students together “Lynne is a huge believer that our students’ lives are improved through the participation in sports and fitness activities,” said Stevens. “She is an active participant in the community and over the years has been a soccer coach in both the recreational league and the Intra Travel Club.” Because his daughter’s high school graduation was the same evening as the recognition ceremony, Graeff was unable to attend the recognition ceremony. The Golden Oak Service Award he received during the June 16 school board meeting is the most prestigious of all the honorary service awards from the California PTA, said Stevens. It goes to an individual or organization that has made “significant contributions to the welfare of children and youth in a school or community.”

Lalonde said the trio survived without apparent injury and scooted into some brush for cover from both the heat and predators. Lalonde starting calling around to find a wildlife rescue group that could pick up and take care of the babies as their mom, who had moved into the box about five months earlier, was nowhere in sight. He said it took over an hour before he finally connected with the Ramona-based Emergency Animal Rescue. “They were here within 20 minutes,” Lalonde said. Volunteer Jan Pickton took the three owls home with her, where they spent the night before being transported to the Fund for Animals in Ramona. Pickton said last week the youngsters were doing well and, in compliance with federal law, will be returned to Lalonde’s property once they are flying and can be left on their own. She estimated that would be within a couple of weeks. Founded in 1993, Emergency Animal Rescue trains volunteers to provide assistance, 24 hours a day, to any animal, domestic or wild, that is in a life-threatening situation. The organization is not a rehabilitation or adoption program. For more information or to request service, call 760-789-5775, email ear@rescueteam.com or go to emergencyanimalrescue.org.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Looking for leak

Ramona Chamber of Commerce is working to find the source of a leak in the line that feeds water to the Main Street trees from Seventh to Eighth streets. Ramona Town Hall trustee Woody Kirkman discovered the problem about two weeks ago, when he saw the water meter spinning. Until it discovers the leak, the chamber has shut the water off and is renting a water truck to water the trees, said Joe

Stupar, chamber executive director. A $500,000 Caltrans grant about 11 years ago paid to plant the trees, install an underground irrigation system, andcomplete sidewalk work and grates. The chamber subsequently assumed the responsibility of watering the trees.

Photograph wins award at county fair BY JOE NAIMAN ast year Jess Schaer took a photo of her youngest son, who was 1-1/2, and this year she entered it in the San Diego County Fair's Exhibition of Photography. "Pie Thief" features Dean Schaer on a dining table holding a fork with food in front of him. In the "Family Moments" category the photo received fourth place and the Margaret Frye Award. San Diego County Fair opened June 3, but a reception for the photography exhibitors took place June 2. Schaer didn’t know who Margaret Frye was until then. Frye was the first coordinator of the fair photography exhibition. "(The award) is based on the kind of images she liked," said Gene Wild, the current coordinator. "It was basically cute kids." Schaer used a Canon 5D Mark 3 camera with a Sigma 35 millimeter art lens. Schaer’s husband, Alex, is stationed on the USS Roosevelt, and Navy assignments created temporary residences in upstate New York and in Port Orchard, Wash., before he was transferred to San Diego. The family moved to Ramona in 2015. The Schaers have four children. Dean is the youngest. Alden is 5 and will start kindergarten at Barnett Elementary School in late summer. Maisie, the only girl, is 7 and attends Barnett Elementary School as does 10-year-old Rhett. Jess Schaer, who was raised in Lakeside, said that her photography sends a message to her children that parents can still have time for themselves. "You can have multiple identities," she said. "It's important to place value on things that you do." Photography has become Schaer's

She specializes in equine photography and family portraits. She noted that she had horses as a child and her photography allows her to continue to be involved in horses now that her financial priorities are children's shoes rather than horseshoes. Schaer began photography as a hobby when she was a student at El Capitan High School, but didn’t take a photography class there. "My dad was a photographer, so I kind of skipped that whole thing," she said. "I grew up with a dark room in my dad's garage." Exhibition of Photography aspirants submit their applications over the Internet.

Andy Dunker’s photo of the waterfalls at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial captures a first-place ribbon at the county fair.

Three-judge panels determine which online submissions are worthy of further review, and a second tier of judging determines which of those should be hung at the fair. The third tier of judging decides which submissions within a category earn ribbons for first through fourth place or for honorable mention. This year approximately 4,000 entries resulted in 1,400 being judged for further consideration and 1,350 being displayed. Schaer submitted seven photographs, and all are displayed. "I was kind of shocked that all seven made it through," she said. "Pie Thief" was one of two of Schaer's photos to earn fourth place. "El Nino," taken

during the July 2015 storm, received fourth place in the Color - People category. That photo features Alden with mud over his body. "It was pouring and so I put my camera through my jacket," Schaer said. "I took pictures of my kids playing." Schaer entered three photographs in the Our Best Friend category and two of those received honorable mention awards. "Girl With Horses," which features a teenage girl between two horses, received an honorable mention ribbon. The photo taken at the Poway Rodeo Grounds in June 2015 was the subject's senior picture. "Grasslands Walk" also won an honorable mention in the Our Best Friend category. It features Maisie on a path holding the family dog on a leash. The dog, Abby, was a year old at the time and the photo was taken at the Ramona Grasslands Preserve. Schaer's mother has a dog whose name is Charlie, and the "Charlie and Me" photo taken at the Barnett Open Space Preserve features Alden holding Charlie. The "At the Fair" photos include Schaer's "Sheep at the Fair" showing Maisie petting two sheep on the other side of the fence. The photo was taken at last year's county fair. The 2015 county fair was also Schaer's first as an Exhibition of Photography entrant. She received first place in Family Moments and third in My Best Friend. "The fair's been good to me," she said. Maisie is featured in "Wild Lilac," which was taken at Oakoasis Preserve and is in the Color - People category. "It's a lot of work to put things together and it takes money and it takes time and effort," Schaer said. "But I think it's important to show your kids the value of being able to put yourself out there."

Photos by Ramona High School freshman Andy Dunker win awards at the San Diego County Fair.

Teen earns three photo awards at county fair BY ALEXIS NEGEM A Ramona teenager won two first place ribbons and a special award ribbon for photographs he submitted to the San Diego County Fair. Andy Dunker, 14, captured the scenes on his iPhone 5s during a trip to Washington, D.C., with Olive Peirce Middle School students. “I just took it ‘cause I thought it looked great,” said Dunker. He submitted the photos under the landscapes/seascapes class of photography in the Creative Youth department. One of the scenes captured the waterfalls at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial. He took the second on the Tidal Basin a few days after the Cherry Blossom festival. The picture shows the Washington Monument across the water and beneath a cherry blossom branch in the

foreground. Dunker enjoys taking landscape photos. “I just like how it’s mostly nature and there’s really no focus other than it,” he said. Dunker did not take the photos with the intention of submitting them, but decided that there was a first time for everything. “It was actually my mom’s idea,” he said. “She told me that my photos were really good, and I agreed and thought that they would look good. I just wanted to try it.” Both photos received first place ribbons, with the picture depicting the Washington Monument also earning a special award. An individual who took pleasure in the photo wanted it to receive additional recognition outside of the contest rules and donated the

special award to Dunker. “I didn’t expect to do that well,” he said. “I didn’t expect that both my photos would get first place.” Dunker said that he finds inspiration from his uncle’s photography. “The photos I’ve always liked best are my uncle’s,” he said. “He’s creative with his photos.” If Dunker competes in the contest again, he said he likely would submit another landscape picture. “I think it’s just how it doesn’t seem like it’s been disturbed. It just seems undisturbed and very beautiful,” he said. Andy, the son of Carey and Jim Dunker of Ramona, will be a ninth-grader at Ramona High School when school starts in August.

Welding students test their skills

BY ALEXIS NAGEM Working to hone their industrial welding skills and earn American Welding Society certification, students in Ramona High School teacher Ivan Arroyo’s class tested their abilities at El Cajon Valley High School. Arroyo selected six students from his welding class to attend the four testing days, deciding that their welds would fare well under the probing of the inspectors. Having earned his certification at the age of 23 after many years of welding school under his belt, Arroyo noted how much pressure the exam would be for a high school student. “They were under a lot of pressure,” Arroyo said. “We were at a different high school, they had different welding instructors, they actually had inspectors there, and a bunch of strangers watching them while they were welding.” Arroyo also noted how brave his students were, saying he told the students, “If you guys don’t pass I’m still very, very proud of you guys, just for stepping up and taking a test like that.” Each examination lasted between 5 and 8 hours. Students were asked to weld two metal plates together on top of a metal backing strip. To test the quality of the welds and make sure there was enough penetration into the backing strip, inspectors bent the pieces using a hydraulic press. While the AWS certification exam usually costs $150, the students were able to take the exam for free, thanks to the collaboration between Arroyo and Ramona resident Nick Williams, Ed.D., El Cajon Valley High assistant principal. “The partnership between RHS welding

and ECVHS welding began a few years ago between former (welding) teacher Robert Grace and me, when I was the ECVHS welding teacher,” Williams said in an email. “That relationship has grown with the new teachers and is bearing positive results with events like this.” “El Cajon Valley High School is giving us a bunch of opportunities,” Arroyo said. “I’m very, very thankful for that. Their facility is really good, they have some of the best equipment.” Of the six students, Juan Lopez and Travis Lovejoy earned AWS certifications. Lopez was certified in shielded metal arc welding, and Lovejoy received certification in gas metal arc welding. Proud of his students’ success, Arroyo planned to honor their accomplishments with recognition to be displayed in their classroom. “I want to do something nice for them,” Arroyo said. “New students are going to look up to these two guys.” Although Arroyo has only been teaching for three months, he is already making plans to advance the RHS welding program. “Next year my goal is not to have as much time in the classroom,” he said. “If they really want to follow this career, they have got to practice a little bit more.” Students will continue to work on their oxy fuel welding and fabrication, but will begin focusing more on skills such as flux cored welding, shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding and gas metal arc welding. “Welding, welding, welding. That’s how you develop your technique,” said Arroyo. Arroyo also plans to write a curriculum that focuses more on what the industry

Something is better than nothing

et’s face it. As we age, as our bodies get more wear and tear on them, things start to break down. Just as a car with 200,000 miles on it has squeaks, rattles, hums and mechanical issues, our bodies follow suit. Having trained thousands of clients over the last 22 years as a coach, I’ve seen it all. From knee and hip replacements and cervical and spinal issues to daily aches and pains, clients come in all shapes and conditions. I currently have a couple of clients who suffered various injuries, including a mid-air skydiving collision, that left one battered and bruised, and another

with some cervical issues that have lingered on far longer than expected. What I love about these clients is that they’ve decided to do SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING. Once you’ve started a fitness program and developed a routine, you owe it to yourself and your health to not throw in the towel and completely stop exercise until you’re 100 percent. We must face it, we’re never really 100 percent anyway. Both of these clients have continued to do something although slightly or completely modified. Don’t think of this as a setback, but think of it as a time to mix up the

One of his goals this summer is to learn what Ramona employers want. “Maybe they want welders that know how to use that machine, maybe they want welders that know how to use this machine,” he said. “The AWS certification is the international industry standard in welder qualification

routine and work on some accessory work. Accessory work can be exercises that address balance, stabilization and proper form and posture. Take this time to regress all of your weights and intensity to 40 to 50 percent of what you normally would do. This is also a great time to work on your mobility, flexibility and technique. I never thought I would quote a Game of Thrones character, but I found this to be quite fitting: "Each bruise is a lesson. Each lesson makes us better." Syrio Forel, a Game of Thrones character. You are always going to encounter physical and even mental setbacks. The key is that each bruise we endure, we use it to make us better, we use it to learn new things, we use it to work on neglected areas in our fitness program and even our lives. It’s amazing the progressive properties exercise and the release of endorphins and the expelling of cortisol can do to expedite the healing process. Remember, SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. Peter San Nicolas owns Ramona Fitness Center.

and a superb key to obtaining a career in welding, especially considering that the Department of Labor predicts the U.S. will be 90,000 welders short by 2019,” said Williams. Arroyo noted how much the Ramona program would be changing, and told his students, “in a couple of years you guys are going to become really good welders.”

Softball teams qualify for state championships Four Ramona Girls Softball all star teams have qualified for the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) state championships in Lancaster. The 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U teams played in tournaments this season in East County, Lakeside, Carlsbad and Coronado, and in the ASA San Diego “C” Districts tournament. Highlights included the 8U team placing second in Lakeside, first in Carlsbad and second in Coronado. “These girls have been working hard for the past eight weeks with practice five days a week and all weekend tournaments, and have represented their families, RGS and the Ramona Community with great sportsmanship,” said Jeff Moody, president of the Ramona Girls Softball Association. RGS also will start Winterball season signups at the beginning of August. For more information, visit ramonagirlssoftball.com.

Family Picnic & Fireworks Event

Ramona’s July 4th – A Spectacular Event

his is the 24th year Ramona Rotary Club will stage the July 4th Family Picnic & Fireworks, an off-shoot of a dream of Ramona resident Roy Winchell. Winchell thought Ramonans shouldn’t have to drive down the hill to Independence Day events and was concerned for their safety on the return up the winding highways 67 and 78 after a long day of celebration. His idea of a hometown celebration with fireworks was just lunchtime talk and a pipe dream 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, 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 from officials with their proposal and planning. 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 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 people 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 met with thunderous applause – it was 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 fireworks network, and with the continued and growing support of the community and the 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 $30,000 to produce, including equipment, security and, of course, the rockets’ red glare. At the time of this printing, $20,000 had been raised for the 2016 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 Monday. With your help, Rotarian and event chair Kim Lasley has 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.

Montecito High honors Class of 2016 with dinner celebration BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON In a tradition that started in Dave Lohman’s first year as principal three years ago, Montecito High School treated its graduating seniors and their families to an Awards Banquet Dinner and Celebration. This year’s celebration featured a dinner of pulled pork, smoked tri-tip, beans, green salad, fruit salad and cake two weeks before the Class of 2016 graduation. School board president Kim Lasley prepared the food, and she and her band of volunteers helped serve the buffet-style meal to the estimated 110 who attended. “We have lots to celebrate,” Lohman said before the awards portion of the evening began.

The soon-to-be graduates received about $3,000 in scholarships from local organizations and an array of certificates from their teachers. As a goodbye present to Superintendent Robert Graeff, who retires June 30, students in Nick Jordan’s construction class presented him with an Adirondack-style retirement chair labeled Toro 1. Toro (Spanish for bull) is Montecito High School’s mascot. Among organizations presenting scholarships and scholarship recipients were: • Ramona Unified Administrative Management Team – Yuniz Galicia Juarez, $500 • Sun Valley Council PTA – Skylar Shane Monaghan, Annette Garcia and Yuniz Galicia Juarez, $200 each

• Ramona Rotary Club – Annette Garcia, $500 • San Vicente Valley Club – Annette Garcia, $500 • Whissel Realty – Annette Garcia, $250 • Ramona Pop Warner – Skylar Shane Monaghan, $500 • Nico Diaz Award – Jorge Martinez and Dale Thompson, $125 each • Star Club/Leadership – Yuniz Galacia Juarez, $250 San Vicente Valley Club also presented Montecito’s construction class with $500. Explaining the reason the teachers presented the students with award certificates, teacher Bruce Tobias said, “We see things in you that you don’t see yet…There’s a greatness in so many of you.”

Principal Dave Lohman congratulates Principal’s Award recipients John Barrios, Michael Henderson and Yuniz Galicia Juarez.

Among the volunteers serving dinner are Kim Lasley, U.S. Marine Cpl. Andy Horton, Melissa Brunner and Connie Claxton.

July 4th, Not So Pet Friendly

Victoria Michelle Wilson-Schultz March 23, 1964 - June 19, 2016

RaMona — Victoria Michelle Wilson-Schultz, “Vikki”, aged 52 years, passed away unexpectedly on June 19, 2016. She was born in oklahoma City, oK, to parents, Harlan and Barbara, both deceased. She is survived by her husband, John, and her brothers, Brian and Harlan (Chuck). Victoria grew up in Tulsa, oK, and was a talented young actor and singer; heavily involved in the Tulsa Theater Company and the Sonshine Company singing group. She graduated from Jenks High School and attended northeastern oklahoma a&M College in Miami, oK, for a year before briefly attending UCSD and UCLa. She then transferred to the University of Southern California (USC) in Los angeles where she earned a Bachelor of arts degree in Theater and Film and met her husband. Victoria worked in the television and film industry for several years, including in films such as “The Bodyguard”, “Tex”, and “The outsiders”. She also worked behind the scenes for Disney and Paramount Studios, including working on television shows such as “Cheers”, “Wings”, “In Living Color”, and “The arsenio Hall Show”. She then pursued a career in fine art, establishing

Foxrun Studio and participating in art shows and gallery showings all over the country. Her artwork has been on display throughout Southern California and from Seattle, Wa, to Cody, WY, Minneapolis, Mn, Tulsa, oK, Lakeland, FL, Charleston, SC, and Easton, MD. Locally, her work can be seen in the 2 Create Gallery in Ramona and the Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook. She was active in the Ramona art Guild and routinely participated in the Ramona open Studios Tour. a celebration of life is in the planning stages for later this summer. For more information, go to: https:// www.facebook.com/ VictoriaWilsonSchultz/. To honor Victoria, her family asks that you pursue one or more of the following: 1. Give to an animal rescue in your town with one big caveat: do your

research as Victoria so meticulously did. Don’t just click-and-give. Research (or better yet, visit) the facility. Meet the people running it and the animals. Get involved. Then give – time, money, items for auction, toys, feed, or any combination of these. 2. Shop at your local farmer’s market and/or organic farmer’s stand. The quality of the food is amazing and you’ll be supporting a hard-working family. 3. Support education of the arts in your local schools, even if you don’t have kids or your kids are older. Donate materials and/or your time. attend plays, concerts, and art exhibits. and vote. 4. Support your local community arts – community theater, art guilds, orchestras, symphonies, chorales, and more. 5. and finally, spend some time each day making the world a little better than it was when you awoke. Here are some things that Victoria tried to live each day: Be kind. always. Especially when others make it difficult. Laugh. a lot. Cry. a little. Wag more, bark less. Pray for those who cause you to lose sleep, regardless of the reason. Support your friends.

Buy a meal for someone who really needs it. Be the light in the room, especially when things are not going your way. In friends, colleagues, mentors, and leaders, follow actions more than words. Many people say the right thing. Far fewer do the right thing. Treat relationships like a good wine. Give them time to mature. Let them breathe. Don’t judge simply by the first sip. Stay for the finish. Savor the complexities. When you reach the next rung of the ladder, turn around and help the person behind you reach their next rung. Be humble. never believe you have learned all there is to learn in your chosen field. Try something new. Learn from someone who is good at doing something you’ve always wanted to do. Teach others what you know – sharing your knowledge doesn’t give away your secrets, it opens new possibilities. Help and encourage those just getting started. Do something that will cause someone to talk about you at dinner tonight. and finally…Love. Unconditionally. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

The Fourth of July is one of the most stressful and potentially dangerous times of the year for pets. While you and your family, friends and neighbors are celebrating the holiday with fireworks, pets are finding these festive activities anything but celebratory. Many pet parents assume that if their pet is not afraid of thunder or other loud noises, they will not be bothered by fireworks. This is not necessarily true. Even pets who normally are not bothered by thunder and other loud noises are often frightened and panicked by the cumulative effects of the fireworks, the excited voices outside, and being left alone inside the house. If pets are left outside and unattended, the noise and raucous often drives them to run away. In fact, the July 4th holiday is a busy time for animal shelters. They report taking in a higher number of dogs that run off during firework festivities. In addition, many police stations log higher volumes of stray dog calls and barking complaints on July 4th compared to any other day of the year. By planning ahead and taking some common sense precautions, you can help ensure your pet is happy and safe this Fourth of July. 1. Do not take your pet to fireworks displays. 2. Do not leave your pet alone in the car during fireworks (or ever). With only hot air to breathe inside a car, your pet can suffer serious health effects, even death, in a few short minutes. 3. Keep your pets in your home in a comfortable and quiet area with the shades drawn. If your pet is crate trained, his crate is a great choice. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure that you've removed any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed. Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep your pet company while you're attending Fourth of July celebrations. 4. Consult vet for anxiety relief. If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he will experience during fireworks displays. 5. If your pet seeks comfort in a bath tub, under a bed or other small space, let him. Do not try to lure him out. If the space is safe and it makes him feel more secure, let him be. 6. Never leave pets outside unattended. Even in a fenced yard or on a chain is not safe. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn't leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death. 7. Make sure your pet is wearing an identification tag.

SPORTS

MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

Blankenbaker breaks university record BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School 2012 graduate Dylan Blankenbaker completed the men's steeplechase in the National Collegiate Athletic Association track and field championship meet in 8:34.69 for fourth place and a new University of Oklahoma school record. "It was a race with the best guys in the country, and it was a race that if I competed and raced how I know I could, then good results would come," Blankenbaker said. "I knew that if I ran smart that I would do really well." The steeplechase race, held in Eugene, Ore., is 3,000 meters. The top five finishers in the two preliminary heats and the runners with next two fastest times from either heat advanced to the finals. Midway through Blankenbaker's heat, a runner in front of him tripped on a hurdle, and a runner behind Blankenbaker was trying to avoid the downed runner and knocked down Blankenbaker. "I didn't really have a fair shot at qualifying for the final," he said. The Oklahoma coaches filed a formal protest, and Blankenbaker was allowed to compete in the final, which was expanded to 13 runners. Michigan senior Mason Ferlic had the winning time of 8:27.16. The next two

finishers completed the race in 8:30.67 and 8:30.71. "I was extremely happy with fourth," Blankenbaker said. "I had no idea how high I would finish, but I knew I could be an all-American." The top eight finishers received all-American first team designation. "It's just an affirmation that my hard work and talent is paying off," Blankenbaker said. During Blankenbaker's Ramona High School days he often competed against La Costa Canyon's Darren Fahy, who is now a junior at Georgetown University and finished fifth in the steeplechase final with a time of 8:36.73. Blankenbaker did not lose positions. "I moved up throughout the race," he said. Last year Brandon Doughty ran the steeplechase in 8:38.35 at the NCAA championships to set the University of Oklahoma school record Blankenbaker broke. "I improved it by three seconds," Blankenbaker said. "It's nice to have my name be a part of school history. To break the school record and be a part of the Oklahoma sports tradition is something special...I'm just super thankful that I have the family, the friends and coaches who really invest in what I'm doing and support me 100 percent."

Dylan Blankenbaker, an NCAA All-American, is pictured racing for Ramona when he was in high school.

‘Beat the heat,’ play Futsal, says coach Beat the heat by playing Futsal close to home, says Deena Vizcarra, Ramona High’s varsity girls soccer coach. “Futsal is indoor soccer played on a basketball court, said Vizcarra. Futsal is a great way to quickly develop skills required for soccer — balance, motor ability, agility and coordination, ball mastery, accurate and quick passing and receiving, perception insight and awareness, noted the coach.

“The games are action packed, fitness is improved while learning and having fun,” she said. The games are for ages 8 through 18. Cost is $50 per player for a six-week session. Proceeds benefit the varsity girls soccer team. Participants play a one-hour game per week and receive a T-shirt. Games will be in the Olive Peirce Middle School gym, 1521 Hanson Lane, on Tuesdays and

Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m. from July 12 through Aug. 18. Registration will be in the middle school gym from 5 to 7 p.m. on July 5 and 7. Pre-registration is recommended. Payment and a waiver, which will be available at registration, are required. Checks should be payable to Ramona Bulldog Booster Club (RBBC). For more information, contact Vizcarra at dvizcarra@ramonausd.net.

Stallman to continue track and field in Utah BY JOE NAIMAN Holly Stallman, a Ramona High School track and field star from 2013 to 2016, will continue her track and field activity at the National Collegiate Athletic Association level at the University of Utah. "I'm really excited about it," the Class of 2016 graduate said. "It's definitely a dream come true. That's what I wanted. I never thought it would happen." "I'm really excited that she's continuing her career," said Ramona head track and field coach Sherri Edwards. "I feel like she has more potential that we were unable to tap." When Stallman made her high school debut in March 2013, she had a 100-meter dash time of 12.8 seconds (hand-held) and a 200 dash time of 27.0. Stallman ran both of those races in the 2014 CIF San Diego Section finals and set school records in both with times of 12.11 in the 100 race and 25.32 in the 200 dash.

Stallman lowered the school 100 record to 12.02 and the 200 record to 25.17 in the 2016 San Diego Section preliminaries at Mount Carmel High School. She broke those school records once again at the San Diego Section finals with times of 11.94 in the 100 dash and 25.09 in the 200 competition. She placed third overall and first among runners from Division II schools in the 100 race. During this year's Valley League meet at Valley Center High School, the 4x100 relay team of senior Jenni Rivera, junior Tuesday Christopher, senior Hannah Farhat and Stallman finished in 49.68 to break the previous school record of 49.89 set in 2005. Although their time at the CIF preliminaries was 50.00, they placed third among Division II teams at the finals with a new school record of 49.38. Stallman did not compete in the long jump for the Bulldogs SEE STALLMAN, A25

Marshall moves from girls to boys hoops Dan Marshall, longtime girls basketball coach at Ramona High, has been named boys head coach. Marshall replaces Zack Cole, who led the Bulldogs to a 41-19 record the past two seasons, including 25-6 last season and a berth in the section Division II semifinals. Cole came to Ramona from New Mexico and is moving back home with his family. “As we searched for a new boys coach, it became evident we need look no further than our own campus,” said Ramona High Athletic Director Damon Baldwin. “The most successful basketball coach the school has had was available and wanted the boys position. “Coaching is coaching. Teaching is teaching. Dan Marshall is that man.” Marshall has been at Ramona High for 23 years, working with students with disabilities. He has been a varsity coach for 18 seasons, winning 10 league titles and advancing to the playoffs all 18 seasons. Ramona is now searching for a girls basketball. Contact Baldwin at dbaldwin@ramonausd.net. John Maffei writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for BSM FINANCIAL, L.P. DBA BROKERSOURCE as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 23617 SPRINGWOOD DRIVE, RAMONA, CA 92065-4244. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the 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 $388,644.64 (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

it 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,

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 In Source Logic at 702-6597766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08004385-15-1. 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.

Medicare news BY CATE KORTZEBORN

Finding a nursing home

re you looking for a nursing home for yourself or a loved one? People go to nursing homes for different reasons. They may be sick or hurt and require ongoing nursing care. They may have had surgery and need time to recuperate. Or they may have chronic care needs or disabilities that make long-term nursing care a necessity. Many communities have nursing homes. But how do you pick one that’s best for you or your family member in need? The first step is to learn about the available facilities in your area. You can do that in a number of ways. • Ask people you trust, like your family, friends or neighbors if they’ve had personal experience with nursing homes. They may be able to recommend one to you. • Ask your doctor if he or she provides care at any local nursing homes. If so, ask your doctor which nursing homes he or she visits so you may continue to see him or her while you’re in the nursing home. • If you’re in the hospital, ask your social worker about discharge planning as early in your hospital stay as possible. The hospital’s staff should be able to help you find a nursing home that meets your needs

and help with your transfer when you’re ready to be discharged. Medicare provides a way to check out local nursing homes, using its Nursing Home Compare website: www.Medicare.gov/nursing homecompare. Nursing Home Compare provides a wealth of information on quality of care and staffing levels at more than 15,000 nursing homes certified for Medicare and Medicaid patients throughout the United States. One excellent feature is the star rating system. Facilities can receive from one to five stars, with five stars being the highest rating. These star ratings give you a quick snapshot of the facility. Keep in mind that Medicare covers short-term nursing home stays following hospitalization, but generally doesn’t cover long-term care stays in a nursing home. Medicare coverage of home and community-based long-term care services is very limited. Medicaid covers long-term nursing home stays, and may include coverage of home- and community-based services (HCBS). HCBS provide opportunities for people with Medicaid to get services in

their own home or community. These programs serve a variety of groups, including people with mental illnesses, intellectual or developmental disabilities, and/or physical disabilities. But a nursing home may not be the best option. A variety of community services may help with your personal care and activities, as well as with home modification and equipment to support you staying at home. Some services, like volunteer groups that help with things like shopping or transportation, may be low cost or may ask for a voluntary donation. Some services may be available at varied costs depending on where you live and the services you need. These home services and programs may be available in your community: • Adult day care; • Adult day health care, which offers nursing and therapy; • Meal programs; • Senior centers; • Friendly visitor programs; • Help with shopping and transportation; • Help with legal questions, paying bills and other financial matters. How do you find such local services? Try the Eldercare Locator, a guide to help older adults and their caregivers connect to services, including long-term care services and supports. Visit www.eldercare.gov or call 1-800-677-1116. Cate Kortzeborn is Medicare’s acting regional administrator for California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada and the Pacific Territories. For more information, call 1-800-633-4227.

BUSINESS PREPARES TO RELOCATE

Work is underway to remodel the former Ramona Post Office at Sixth and D streets for the future home of Ramona Family Naturals, currently at 642 Main St. The new location will offer more parking, a full kitchen and deli service, a coffee and juice station, hot food, expanded healthy fresh food options, and continue to offer vitamins and supplements, said co-owner Robert Bradley. Another benefit to customers, he said, will be the elimination of steps and a steep ramp to enter the store. With 5,185 square feet of space, Bradley said, “our functional space will nearly double.” Bradley said he hopes to be in the new location by the beginning of 2017.

www.ramonasentinel.com FROM CALTRANS, A1 according to Ramona Community Planning Chair Jim Piva, who said that over the past several years the planning group has worked with Caltrans, the county and San Diego Association of Governments to see it accomplished sooner. Funding the $14 million project are the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) and San Diego County Transportation Impact Fees. To come up with a design for improvements, Melendez said, “We took a look at the intersection and how it functions.” In the mornings heading south, he said, analysis showed motorists had to wait 130 seconds at the intersection. That should be reduced to 26 seconds, an 80 percent improvement, he said. The afternoon wait time of 42 seconds should drop by 50 percent to 21 seconds, said Melendez. “That’s what our analysis shows,” he said. To accomplish that, changes will include widening Highway 67 from two lanes to four lanes through the intersection, widening both Dye and Highland Valley roads approaching the intersection to allow for a second left-turn lane onto the highway, and reconfiguring the intersection to accommodate a wider turn radius for commercial trucks. Caltrans’ resident engineer, Rene Figuerola,

This view shows what Highland Valley Road will look like with an additional left turn lane. said initial work includes grading and relocation of utilities, which includes a Ramona Municipal Water District fire hydrant. While most of the work will be in the day, Figuerola said they will soon be crossing the roads at night with drainage improvements, installing larger drainage pipes. “They will make drainage a higher capacity,” he said, explaining they are incorporating upgrades while at the site. The project will also add bike lanes on the shoulder and an equestrian trail on the

Graeff receives CIF life pass Ramona Unified School District Superintendent Robert Graeff has received a CIF San Diego Section life pass. "I'm humbled beyond belief,” said Graeff, who retires as superintendent on June 30. “What a privilege to retain lifelong opportunity to continue to watch the greatest kids in the county play sports." Graeff has been a Ramona Unified administrator for the past 15 years. In 2008, when he became the superintendent, he joined the CIF Board of Managers representing the Ramona district. Graeff spent eight years as the Vista High School principal before joining the Ramona Unified School District. His career in high school education also included Hoover, Kearny and Mission Bay in the San Diego Unified School District. Graeff’s first CIF activity was as a pitcher on Kearny High School’s junior varsity baseball team in 1969. Graeff eventually pitched for Kearny's varsity and was part of the team that

won the 1971 CIF San Diego Section championship. Graeff played only baseball at Kearny, which made him a one-season athlete. "It was February to June, done. Not year-round," he said. Five years after his final game and his final class as a student, Graeff returned to Kearny High School as a teacher to begin what would be a 40-year career as an educator. By the time he returned to Kearny as a teacher, the CIF had added girls sports, and Graeff coached the Komets' junior varsity softball team. The CIF life pass gives Graeff the ability to attend any CIF San Diego Section game without charge. Graeff may also be watching former Ramona students who participate in Point Loma Nazarene University athletics as he will be teaching at that college after his departure from the K-12 school district. "It's more of a transition than a retirement," he said.

for the future and where they’re headed and what they’re thinking about doing, that’s what this job is about,” Graeff said. “It’s not about a school bond, it’s not about passing a budget, it’s not about a board policy, it’s not about me. It’s about kids. I’m going to think about a lot of those faces for a long time.” During his retirement, Graeff looks forward spending quality time with his wife, Alicia, and their two children, Katie and Danny. The family plans to spend their summer on various vacations, including a trip to visit family, time in Florida touring places such as Disney World and Cape Canaveral, and a week of vacation in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. Because his wife still works as an educator at Westview High School, Graeff plans to join Point Loma Nazarene University, where he will be a professor teaching education classes.

excellent. Every school is poised for great things with the leadership we currently have.” However, what Graeff said he will remember most about Ramona “are the faces of a lot of great kids.” During a recent visit to Olive Peirce Middle School, Graeff visited every classroom and met with the students. “They were so wonderful and their handshakes and their little hugs and ‘Thank you for service.’ I just love the kids at Olive Peirce and all of our schools,” he said. Graeff also attended seven promotion and graduation ceremonies. He said he enjoyed talking with the students and discussing their dreams and future plans with them. “Just the smiles on the faces of kids, Ramona kids, and hearing about their plans

northerly side of both roads — extending 660 feet on Dye Road and 480 feet on Highland Valley, keeping within the construction footprint, said Melendez. In addition, pushbutton pedestrian crossings and Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant concrete curbs will be installed. Both engineers said they do not expect delays for motorists and there will be no nighttime road closures. Figuerola said one lane will be closed on Highland Valley during drainage work. For the safety of the construction crew, the

speed limit through the construction zone has been reduced from 55 mph to 45 mph, a Caltrans spokesperson noted. Once the improvements are completed, Melendez said the intersection’s level of service should rise from an “F” to a “C.” “We’ll continue to monitor it once it’s open to traffic,” he said. According to Caltrans, the roadwork portion of the project is expected to be finished in about a year followed by another year for plant establishment. The agency is looking at final completion around fall 2018.

upon Utah. She noted that Utah's presence in the PAC-12 conference was a significant factor in her decision. "I'm going to be in a very tough conference," Stallman said. "It's going to be great competition." The University of Utah does not offer track and field scholarships to freshmen, although they can earn an athletic scholarship for future seasons. Although Stallman did not sign an official letter of intent, the Utah coach informed her that she would be on the Utes team. "I didn't have to try out or anything. I was just automatically on the team," she said. Edwards noted that Stallman wasn't swayed by scholarship offers from other schools. "She knew it was a good program," Edwards said. "I just felt I could be a very good asset to their team and help them," Stallman said. Stallman plans a career as a dietician or nutritionist and will select a major oriented toward that field. "I just have a hard time with eating," she said. "I wanted to learn more about that and help people." She noted that diet changes as well as practice assisted her Ramona High School track and field efforts. "When it comes to track season, I'm eating a lot — a lot of meat, a lot of rice, a lot of corn, a lot of stuff with protein," she said. Stallman added that she also drinks significant amounts of water and milk. "I'm making sure I'm getting plenty of calories in me," she said. Stallman was also a Ramona High School cheerleader for three years, although after her junior year she opted to focus on track and field and did not try out for the cheer team as a senior. "I want to make Ramona proud up in Utah and hope everyone is watching," Stallman said. "She's a hard worker," Edwards said. "I expect great things from her."

until her junior year. During this year's Mt. San Antonio College Invitational meet, her long jump of 18 feet 4-1/4 inches won the girls invitational flight and also broke the school record of 17-11 3/4 set in 1977 by Rose Kalabsa. The new record lasted until the league meet, when Stallman had a distance of 18-7. All six of her jumps at the section finals exceeded 18 feet, including a mark of 18-10 to place first among girls in Division I and Division II combined while once again setting a new school record. "By far my favorite high school memory is CIF finals," Stallman said. Her long jump and 100 dash performances at the section finals qualified her for the state meet this month at Buchanan High School in Clovis. Her best long jump in the preliminaries was 18-10 1/4 to extend the school record one more time. In the June 4 finals, she had a jump of 18-2 1/4 to place 10th in the state. Stallman ran the 100 dash preliminaries in 12.14 gave her 12th place. Stallman is a lifelong Ramona resident who attended Hanson Elementary School before starting her track and field career at Olive Peirce Middle School. Her Olive Peirce events included the 100, 200, 4x100 and hurdles along with the high jump. She also participated in the long jump while in eighth grade. "I think my best jump back then was just a 14," she said. A high school athlete may compete in up to four events during a meet. Stallman was running the 100, 200, and 4x100 races. Edwards gave Stallman a choice between the 400 run and the long jump for her fourth event. "I said there's no way I'm doing the 400. I'll long jump," Stallman said. "I turned out not to be too bad at it and really liking it." Stallman was also considering the California State University campuses in Fullerton and Northridge before deciding

Cycle Dawgs forge ahead in competition

BY KRISTIN BAUER-BROWN Mission accomplished for the Ramona High School Cycle Dawgs. The mountain biking team ended the season, surprising even themselves, with a huge jump forward in the statewide competition. The Cycle Dawgs locked in a third place Division 1 finish in the SoCal High School Cycling League this year. Last year, they placed seventh. The racers compete individually but their placement is calculated into the team’s score. The Cycle Dawgs got everyone’s attention at the first race of the season, at Lake Perris, earning a first place win for the team. “Seven Cycle Dawgs earned podium finishes.” said head coach Robert Grace. “It still gives me goosebumps thinking about it.” The team’s top racers — Jaron Cappos, Seth Levi, Gwendalyn Gibson, Stassa Cappos, Carson Basore, Brayden Lessler, Ryan McKinnon, Josh Failla, Andrew Finley and Sean Duffy — took that momentum to the state finals in Los Olivos. The Cycle Dawgs made their presence known there also, finishing fourth place overall out of 27 schools. The strong finish left no doubt their training and dedication to increasing speed and endurance is paying off. Grace said his priorities for the team have always included the cyclists having fun and finishing the races. But this year, as they demonstrated their intense commitment to improving, Grace added one more thing to his goals for the team. “Let’s have some fun, let’s finish what we start and do it faster next time!” he said. The Cycle Dawgs are sponsored by the San Diego-based bike manufacturing company Haro, who all agreed took great care of the team this season, providing plenty of swag and mountain bikes on stand-by at races. Haro representative Vince Venolia came to support the students at the races and called

the experience fantastic and encouraging. “Seeing the drive, commitment and dedication these student athletes exhibit is a testimony to what mountain biking and NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) can do for developing teens,” said Venolia. Most of the Cycle Dawgs race on Haro mountain bikes and those who finish in the top five receive special recognition from Haro. Grace credits a combination of things for the strong season the team just wrapped up. “We ride all over the back roads of Ramona, and that along with the kids’ fierce hunger to win and strong work ethic has

really led the team to become one of the top contenders at each race,” he said. The Cycle Dawgs consist of 20 racers: 14 boys and six girls. The team welcomes other cyclists and particularly needs more girl racers because overall scores at the races must include both genders. “In a male dominated sport, recruiting girls is a top priority right now. To have a successful mountain biking team, you need more girls,” said Grace.
