Ramona’s Community Newspaper since 1886
County OKs nearly $200,000 for Ramona BY JOE NAIMAN Passage of San Diego County’s 2016-17 budget includes $198,905 in Community Enhancement money for five groups in town. Community Enhancement money comes from the county's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue. Ramona Chamber of Commerce will receive $75,500, Ramona Outdoor Community Center Inc. will receive $53,365, and the Ramona HEART Mural
Project Corporation will get $35,040. Ramona Pioneer Historical Society will receive $20,000, and $15,000 will go to Ramona Town Hall. Each county supervisor had a $974,000 Community Enhancement budget in addition to previous year funding that was canceled or returned. In District 2, represented by Supervisor Dianne Jacob, that was an additional $10,765. Each supervisor decides how much to give to each group requesting
funds, and the five-member board of supervisors ratifies the amounts as part of its approval of the budget. Although TOT money comes from lodging facilities in the unincorporated part of the county, organizations in incorporated cities are also eligible for funding. Each county supervisor also has a $2 million discretionary Neighborhood Reinvestment Program budget, so some Community Enhancement requests can

PIE AUCTION TRADITION
Husband Bert Huff and Junior Fair Steering Committee members Skylar Storton and Katie Phillips react as Ramona Stars 4-H sheep leader Debbie Huff takes a pie in the face during Ramona Junior Fair’s annual fundraiser on Saturday. Bert Huff had the highest bid of $300 to deliver the pie in the face, an auction tradition. Before taking aim, he told his wife he loved her and he kissed her.

BY KAREN BRAINARD When Dianne Jacob is sworn in for her seventh term in January 2017, the District 2 county supervisor said she will become the longest serving supervisor in San Diego County history. Jacob was re-elected to her seat in the June 7 primary, securing well over 50 percent of the vote against opponent Rudy Reyes. As of June 28, she had 73.89 percent of the vote to Reyes’ 26.11 percent with 26,000 mail or provisional ballots left to count, according to the county registrar. Dianne “I’m very excited about it,” said Jacob, whose Jacob district includes Ramona. “I’m extremely humbled by the outpouring of support.” First elected in 1992, Jacob will be termed out after 2020 because of a ballot measure approved by voters in 2010 that limits supervisors to two four-year terms. Jacob said she had an overwhelming number of people urging her to run one last time. “That’s simply my motivation,” she said. Her passion for the position, Jacob said, is serving the people, working with communities, and bringing visions to reality, although she noted it is sometimes frustrating dealing with SEE JACOB, A2

The alleged victim, Los Angeles photographer Alex Stone, was using the public road near the Ramona Airport to take photographs of a car when Gordon allegedly drove up in his Ford Excursion

Stone recorded the exchange on his smartphone and turned the video over to authorities on Sunday, leading to Gordon’s arrest later the same day. “In the video, (Gordon) can be seen intentionally driving his vehicle twice at Stone who was able to SEE RAGE, A2

other events, and may also use some of the money for new maps to promote tourism in the area. The amount received is less than the $95,000 the chamber requested but more than the $60,000 grant for 2015-16. Ramona Outdoor Community Center includes the Fred Grand Arena where the Ramona Rodeo and other rodeo competitions are held. The cattle pens need refurbishing, and the Community Enhancement grant will pay to construct metal replacement pens. The center, which did not receive funding last year, requested $124,000 from the 2016-17 budget. The murals that Community Enhancement money will pay for are a historic photo of the interior of the building at 629 Main St. that will be on the east of that building, a 1950s vintage fire truck and equipment on the south wall of the Firehouse Glass building at 222 Ninth St., the location of Ramona's first fire station in 1952, and a mural potentially promoting Ramona's Hispanic heritage on the west wall of 680 Main St., which houses La Cocina restaurant. The funding matches the amount requested by Ramona HEART Mural Project Corporation, which received $37,920 last year. Ramona Pioneer Historical Society will use its allocation for expenses related to the operation of the Guy B. Woodward Museum including accounting fees, payroll, insurance, office equipment and supplies, archival storage materials, advertising, a security alarm system, and upkeep of the museum grounds and equipment. The Ramona Pioneer Historical Society had requested $21,000. It received $17,000 last year. Ramona Town Hall Inc. is restoring the historical building at 729 Main St. The county grant is what the nonprofit requested. It will pay for durable weather coating and landscaping for the exterior front facade. Ramona Town Hall did not receive Community Enhancement money last year.
bureaucracies. She has a list of issues that she intends to focus on for her last term that includes a new sheriff’s station for Ramona and progress on the Ramona Intergenerational Community Campus (RICC). County-wide, she said, first and foremost is retaining the county’s AAA credit rating that allows it to have money to invest in communities. Fixing the county’s finances and achieving that AAA rating is what she considers the top accomplishment of her years in office. Another achievement she will continue to work on is investment in fire protection and emergency medical services. Following the devastating Cedar Fire in 2003, Jacob was instrumental in creating the San Diego County Fire Authority. “It’s all about saving lives and property,” she said. Jacob wants to see a new sheriff’s station built in Ramona, although a site has not been determined, and increase efforts to make neighborhoods safe. For the RICC, anchored by Ramona Library at Main and 13th streets, Jacob said the county is getting close to swapping property with Caltrans, which owns the lot next to the library. Doing so would increase

the space for the community campus that would extend behind the library and include a senior center, skatepark, gymnasium and a county Live Well Center for resources. “That I want to definitely accomplish in the next few years,” she said. A former teacher, Jacob said she will continue to focus on more sports and recreational facilities, and trails and open spaces “for kids to get out and exercise.” Jacob said she is proud that the county has preserved 100,000 acres in the unincorporated area and 60 to 70 percent of it is in her district. Jacob said she will continue to look at opportunities to preserve the Ramona Grasslands while legally allowing public access, adding that it’s been a battle with wildlife agencies but it’s important for people to enjoy the area. Parking for the Mt. Woodson trail is another issue Jacob said she will continue to push for, as well as improvements to state Route 67. “It’s like swimming molasses upstream,” she said, referring to the latter. Jacob worked with the Ramona Community Planning Group, Caltrans, and San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to move forward the Route 67/Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection improvements that are underway.
In the county’s recently adopted budget Jacob noted there is more funding for the Community Enhancement Program. “I think the organizations that applied for funding in Ramona are going to be extremely happy,” she said. She is excited about plans for the Santa Ysabel Nature Center at state Routes 78 and 79 where the county has 86 acres. Also on her list is continued work on the Alzheimer’s Project that she started in 2014, preparing the region for an aging population, and adopting a pilot program for a catering ordinance that would allow caterers to partner with wineries and breweries. The San Diego native is known to be a fighter, a trait she attributes to her parents. “My mother would always tell me ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way,’” said Jacob. “My father — he was emphatic about teaching me nothing is impossible and never give up.” Whether for or against something, he taught her to fight for it, she said, adding that she is pretty strong-minded. Jacob, who turns 77 at the end of July, said her father also taught her three characteristics that she never forgets: honesty, integrity and the ability to get along with people. Serving as county supervisor, she said, has been one of the greatest honors of her life.
sustained by anyone involved and all parties left the scene.” Gordon was booked into San Diego Central Jail in downtown San Diego shorty before 5 p.m. Sunday in lieu of $30,000 bail, according to the sheriff’s department’s online jail records. By mid-Monday morning, he was no longer in the system.
His arraignment was tentatively scheduled for 1:30 p.m. July 13 at the El Cajon courthouse. Before Stone contacted authorities, he posted his video on a Facebook page for Ramona residents and on YouTube. Within a day and a half, the Facebook post received 200,000 views and the YouTube posting hit nearly 400,000.

Food & Clothes Closet switches gears on scholarships New motto: ‘We’re changing the world’ BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON In an effort to assist people of all ages and backgrounds, Ramona Food & Clothes Closet offers New Beginnings/Fresh Start scholarships. The new scholarships are for persons with either a high school diploma or General Educational Development (GED) certificate who wish to complete a two-year college program or vocational school. They also could be used to receive a GED from an accredited school. The New Beginnings grants are in addition to the Jeff Funk Community Spirit scholarships for students in the service area who have been accepted in a two- or four-year college, university or vocational school. The service area includes Ramona, Julian, Santa Ysabel, Ranchita, Borrego and Warner Springs. In another move to encourage more people to apply for scholarships, Ramona Food & Clothes Closet’s new board of directors dropped the Jeff Funk scholarship requirement that applicants must volunteer 40 hours in the nonprofit’s Thrift Shop at

Members of the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet Board of Directors are: seated, Mary Halliday, secretary; Lori Webster, president; Sandy Fansher, treasurer; and Rosamund Breese, vice president. Standing are directors David Stone, Donna Zick, Jo Ann Teets, Tom Taylor and Margie Neal. Not pictured is director Dotty Cronin. 773 Main St. “We encourage them to volunteer, but it no longer is a requirement,” said Lori Webster, board president. “We would like to offer something without something in return.” The New Beginnings/Fresh Start Scholarship is an offshoot of the Funk grant, but it is open to more people in the community. “What about people who want to get on their feet?” said Webster.
The New Beginnings scholarship offers $500 for two-year college, trade school or adult education per semester, with a maximum of $2,000 for four semesters. The money goes directly to the school for tuition and fees. “The goal is to help them get a fresh start through education,” said Webster. “...It could even be for a contractor who wants to get a contractor’s license, or the mother raising her kids who’s working a
menial job.” Ramona Food & Clothes Closet’s longstanding mantra is: “Because you gave, we can give.” Added to that is the nonprofit’s new motto: “We’re changing the world,” said Webster. In addition to providing financial support, the purpose of the New Beginnings and Jeff Funk scholarships is multifaceted: To have a long-term impact on the individual and the community, to S T A T E

influence families toward greater financial independence and to build self-confidence and self-reliance. Scholarship recipients should be from a low- or middle-income family. Members of the Scholarship Committee will evaluate each application separately so individual circumstances can be reviewed. Scholarship money comes through the Ramona Food & Clothes Closet Foundation. Thrift Shop profits may be used to pay some or all of the awards. Applications for the New Beginnings/Fresh Start Scholarship will be accepted year-round. Jeff Funk scholarship recipients receive up to $18,000 — $2,250 per semester for up to eight semesters. The annual deadline for Jeff Funk scholarship awards is June 1. Details about both scholarships are at www.foodandclothescloset.org under “Foundation/Scholarships.” Webster started volunteering at the Ramona Food & Clothes Closet in December of 2014 and then served as a board member before being appointed board president in April. “I’ve never ever lived in a community that supports its community as much as Ramona,” she said.

What’s your plan when the electric grid goes down? Seminar will cover the basics BY DARRELL BECK any people living in Ramona are aware of the Cedar and Witch Creek fires. These recent firestorms and the disorganized evacuation and aftermaths were a wake-up call for everyone and should be used as a reminder to all people to be better prepared for the next impending emergency. But what kind of an emergency should we prepare for? Probably the first thing that comes to mind are emergencies caused by the forces of nature such as fire, earthquakes, floods and hurricane force wind, resulting in temporary loss of power, water, medical aid and other services. But what about emergencies caused by the actions of man such as invasion by outside forces creating armed conflict, or an electro-magnetic attack that disables the electric and communication grid for a long period of time, or perhaps from unstable forces from within our society such as economic breakdown or domestic terrorism leading to insurrection, political unrest, martial law, anarchy and strikes creating food riots, looting and widespread chaos? Many people don’t want to think about the worst case scenario, or maybe they have been programmed to believe that government will always be there to take care of every crisis. But the false belief that government will help is precisely why many people are unprepared. So the best way to be prepared for any emergency is to imagine what you would do to protect yourself and your family if there was nobody to help except yourself, because that’s exactly what will happen in the event of another major crisis. When you call, there will be no response — no firemen, no policemen, no paramedics, no ambulance, no water, no food and no other help, either because the authorities are overwhelmed with other emergencies, roads are closed, or help can’t be reached because communications have been lost. Maybe the water district’s water tanks are empty because there is no electricity to pump water up the hill or the primary pipeline has broken — or the entire region is out of operation. Thus there is no water to drink, to wash or bathe, to use for firefighting or to flush the toilet. There is no electricity to cook food or to stay warm or for fire fighting, or to connect to the Internet or other appliances; or to charge your new electric car or your cell phone. There is no gasoline because the electric gas pumps don’t work. There is no food in the stores because of strikes or shortages, or trucks can’t deliver goods. Refrigerated food spoils during prolonged electrical outages. SEE BECK, A5

GUEST COMMENTARY
Budgeting and politics BY JOHN RAJCIC ome random notions about budgeting and politics.... How are school district budgetary decisions made? How are decisions made in light of limited resources and diverse values? Who gets what and why? Other than to “gripe” about decisions board members make, what can you do about it, short of Jefferson's admonition to revolt? The school district board, in theory, is nonpartisan. Nonpartisan does not mean nonpolitical. Board members are in fact politicians and, for that matter, partisans. Within the constraints of the Constitution, State Constitution, the Education Code and a myriad of other statutes, the school board, as politicians, support or create policies that govern the school district. The school district budget is singularly the most significant policy statement made by the board. Employee contracts account for 80 percent of the district's revenue. Employee contracts are determined through the collective bargaining process. The school board votes to determine the outcome of the collective bargaining process. This vote is in fact a political decisions. It is through the political process that resources are allocated. Politics basically determine whose values shall prevail. Values basically cannot be empirically tested. Politicians, including school board members, are often maligned; however, it is through the political process in our democratic-republic that scarce resources are allocated. Seemingly, no attempt is made to describe what procedures are used to calculate the relative values of competing programs. Which program has more merit? Should there be new uniforms for the basketball team or clay for the ceramics class? Resources being limited, this decision is basically a political decision. Much of what is meant by the term merit turns out to be meets my preferences or serves my interest or the interests of those with whom I identify. How does one determine which program has more merit? How does one empirically judge the value of a program compared to alternatives?
S
The budgeting process is incremental in nature. Last year's budget expenditures are considered as the base for the next year's budget, in fact, facilitates budget preparation in that next year’s expenditures are expected to be close to current year expenditures. Budget review examines only those items for which increases over the previous year are requested. The incremental budgeting process, in no serious way, explores alternatives and does not lend itself to the periodic examination of the accomplishment of objectives. What can you do about it? Vote for the board member that best represents your values. Write editorials, attend board meetings and let your concerns be known. In this regard, let’s zero in on the budget again. A board member at the next board meeting may request that the budget be placed on the next agenda and make a motion to amend it. It is ironic that at the public hearing on next year's budget, a couple of reporters, the board and a handful of employees were the only ones present. Were your values represented in the budget? The budget is the educational program expressed in dollars. Politics is not about finding the best solution, it is finding the solution that the least number of people complain about. Those who see needed change find themselves in a quandary. Change is inhibited by our political structure and most parents believe the school their children attend has fewer problems than the system as a whole, so there is no urgency for change. There is no critical mass for change. To argue that the present budget procedures are inadequate compared to another system that is unattainable may be no different than arguing that the present system is the best. The budget is a political document in that it authoritatively allocates values. Just as an aside, California school districts do not go bankrupt. The state merely replaces the board and manages the school district. The state obligates the district by advancing funds for operations as determined by the state. John Rajcic, a Ramona school board member, stresses that this commentary is his as an individual and that he is not representing the board.

Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG
Nobody can do it all
C
myself. Doing it myself usually costs me more. You’d think I’d learn to stay in my corner of the world, right? But the macho part of my brain keeps urging me to build, plumb, electrify — whatever. As a do-it-yourselfer, I’m far from unique. Many business owners believe they can do everything needed to run their business. Frugality, arrogance, ignorance, desperation all drive their decisions. Only nobody can do everything! Even if you’re good at handling product development, financial matters, personnel, real estate and operations, you may not be good at marketing. Marketing is a discipline unto itself requiring specialized skills and full-time focus. Clint Eastwood, in his role as “Dirty Harry” Callahan, observed “A man has to know his limitations.” It’s a critical lesson to remember when approaching your marketing; After running a business for 20 years, I can attest that thinking you can do it all is a BIG mistake. It’s guaranteed to make you work harder and pay off much less than if you focused on whatever it is that you do best.
Your best interest is... Our primary goal!
Our Mission Statement
To maintain the highest level of professionalism while providing real property financing solutions that serve the best interest of our clients.
What we offer –
onfession time. I’m a klutz. I’m typically torn between hiring a specialist before or after doing it
On a related note, you shouldn’t hire a consultant who says he’s capable of doing everything by himself. Talk to almost any marketing professional these days and odds are great you’ll be told “We can handle that.” Nobody wants business to walk out the door, so designers tell you they can write, SEO guys tell you they can strategize, and — well, you get the idea. Should you encounter this scenario, odds are good you’re working with someone doing things they’re unqualified to do so they don’t have to share their fee. So while those low rates you’re being charged are very tempting, it’s a good time to remember the adage “You get what you pay for.” The solution: Find someone with a support network to provide a full range of marketing services. After 65 million years of evolution, you’d think we’d have all learned to understand the concept of being a specialist. Brain surgeons aren’t marketers, and vice-versa. After all, as Abraham Lincoln pointed out; “He who represents himself has a fool for a client.” With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Learn more at www.askmrmarketing.com.

NEWS BRIEFS state-mandated reductions in water use that decreased sales more than earlier projections.
The county Board of Supervisors has approved the final map for Paseo Village Townhomes, a condominium project just north of state Route 67 and bordered by La Brea, Day and Vermont streets. The condo project by Ramona developer Steve Powell will consist of 31 dwelling units on 2.28 acres and include street improvements. Also at their June 22 meeting, supervisors approved the final map to convert Boulder Ridge Villas, 1918 and 1922 Kelly Ave., to condominiums.
CWA approves water rate hikes Increases start Jan. 1 San Diego County Water Authority Board of Directors has adopted rate increases of 6.4 percent for untreated water and 5.9 percent for treated water in 2017. The new rates will take effect Jan. 1, and member agencies, including Ramona Municipal Water District, have the option of absorbing the increases or passing them on to customers. A statement from the water authority said the increases primarily driven by higher costs from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, though the agency also incorporates higher costs for water supplies from the Carlsbad Desalination Plant. Also affecting the increases were by

Del Diablo Municipal Water District, 35.9 percent; Santa Fe Irrigation District, 34.4 percent; Padre Dam Municipal Water District, 32.4 percent; and Lakeside Water District, 32.1 percent. Statewide, consumption fell 28 percent in May compared to three years ago. “Rain or shine, drought or no drought, state-mandated target or not, Californians should keep conserving,” said Felicia Marcus, state water board chair. “While conditions improved for urban California's water supply with the rain and snow we got last year, we are still largely in drought and saving water can extend urban water supplies off into the future if this next winter is dry again.”

Rotarians take lead for 2016-17 F
ormer Ramona Rotarian Karen Clendenen put a key in the hand of each 2016-17 Ramona Rotary Club Board member during the recent installation ceremony held at a member’s home. “All the keys are different but have the same goal, and that is to open all doors and welcome everyone to join in,” said Clendenen. Clendenen, a former Ramona Rotary president, officiated at the installation event. Each key had a different picture. She designed it that way to reflect each director’s role in the Rotary year that began July 1. Starting with Kim Lasley, Rotary president, Clendendn said, “You are the director of your club’s board, over long-range goals, and annual goals, membership growth, Rotary Foundation support, all administrative responsibilities, and (you) guard everything like a watch dog.” Lasley received “a key to the doghouse for you to guard and oversee.” Secretary Joan Renaud’s duties include keeping accurate records, recording the club’s business and “writing and working to record harmony in tune with the club at all times.” Clendenen handed Renaud a key “to open the keyboard of writing
minutes in tune.” Sharon Greene’s role as treasurer is a financial obligation, said Clendenen. “You are to collect, deposit money, write checks and give monthly financial statements and approve all bills,” said Clendenen, presenting Greene with a key “showed a deck of cards that will open the door to keep all records straight.” New Generation director Melissa Brunner’s role “is one of the largest jobs of the club,” said Clendenen. She is in charge of Rotary Youth in Leadership training, Rotary Youth Leadership awards and Interact, which covers a wide age range and many ways to mentor. Among them are career days, educational programs and grants to benefit the youth. “Your key will open the door to involve the youth with this ABC key,” said Clendenen. Patrick Osio returns to lead International Service “to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the glove and promote world understanding and peace.” His key shows a globe. As Community Service director, Maureen Robertson’s role covers projects and activities the club will undertake to improve life in the community. “Rotary is involved in helping groups

Partnership promotes independent learning BY ALEXIS NAGEM During its Extended School Year and summer school programs, Ramona Elementary School teamed up with Ramona Community Library to teach students how to take advantage of the public resources available in the library. Just fewer than 300 children are enrolled in the summer programs, with students in kindergarten through sixth grade. They are split into three sections and given half-hour sessions at the library. Students in kindergarten through third grade were introduced to the library collection, occasionally read stories and taught how to check out books. Cynthia Palacious, Youth Services librarian for Ramona Library, said she wanted students in that age group to leave “knowing where are our picture books versus for beginning readers versus where are the chapter books.” “What I find with some kids that are a little more reluctant (to read) is that they’re either intimidated by reading because they see, like, the huge textbook, but when you realize, ‘Oh, half
Ramona Elementary fourth- and fifth-graders browse the librarian collection. of it is pictures,’ then it’s not as intimidating,” she said. Palacious also designed the program to help students find an interest in reading. She asked the students what types of movies, people or subjects they enjoy and worked to find them a book
in the same genre. “As I tell a lot of parents, even now and when I was in education, you want children to read something that they love,” she said. “You don’t want it to become a chore.” Students in the fourth through
sixth grade were taught how to check out books as well, but were also shown how to place a book on hold, reserve a book from a sister library and use the research databases on the public computers. “We’re also going to introduce

them to the electronic resources, and that is a huge thing because nowadays common core is so big and a lot of kids are emerged in technology,” Palacious said. “A lot of people associate a library with only tangible books. They don’t always associate them with
Parenting in the Digital Age: Internet Safety Tips • Know your child’s passwords and review their social media sites weekly. Ask them how they know new friends or connections and if they don’t know them, do not allow them to follow. • Kids often have numerous accounts. Along with reviewing who is following them, look at their activity. If there isn’t a lot of activity, they may be using a different account. Investigate further. • Be sure that geo-tagging is off on all social media sites, which prevents someone from identifying where your child is posting from. • Teach them never to post the name of their school, home address or areas where they frequently hang out.
Alison Jacobson, The Safety Mom, is a preeminent voice on safety, wellness and healthy living and a Cox Communications partner. From environmental toxins and healthy eating to sports injuries and cyber bullying, The Safety Mom is always on the lookout for the issues facing children of all ages, as well as the entire family. Here she provides cyber safety tips for parents just in time for the summer months when kids may be home alone more often.
• Assume that status updates, photos and videos posted on social networks are permanent. Just because a profile is deleted or information is removed, older versions can continue to exist on other sites. • Never allow your child to arrange a face-toface meeting with someone they’ve met online by themselves. • Teach kids to not respond to messages that are inappropriate. Encourage children to tell an adult if they ever encounter anything that makes them feel uncomfortable.
• Parents and guardians should consider downloading a monitoring service app that allows them to view the child’s smartphone activity. • Cyberbullying over the weekend spills into school on Monday. Inform school officials if your child was involved in a cyberbully incident so that they can monitor the situation during the day. • Don’t dismiss the issue. Whether your child plays it down or is seriously upset, get involved. Parents of “bullycide” victims (kids who have committed suicide due to bullying) frequently comment that they wish they had taken the issue more seriously. • If necessary, get law enforcement involved. Many school districts around the country have a police officer or several assigned to the school who are always on campus. This would be the first law enforcement personnel to approach. Ask him/her for their suggestions on handling the situation. • Teach your child to get involved. It has been shown that the best person to help stop bullying is a peer who intervenes. If your child witnesses someone getting bullied online encourage her/him to tell you.

electronic resources, have it be audiobooks, have it be digital books or the eBooks or have it be electronic resources.” One such resource is the Gale research database available on the public computers in the library. Gale gives students access to sources such as books, newspaper articles and magazines. “What that does is that, one, it’s kind of like one place to go, two, it saves you a lot of time; it’s very time efficient,” said Palacious. Gale also provides students with reliable resources that they can use for their projects, especially in high school and higher education. “I found that kids aren’t always exposed to how to use their materials in terms of the library collection,” Palacious said. “So that’s one thing that we’re wanting to close that gap in terms of just having them be aware of what are the resources and how to utilize them.” Ramona Elementary Principal Pixie Sulser said the partnership was possible thanks to federal Title 1 funding and was planned
with multiple goals in mind. The first goal was to show students how valuable a resource the library could be to them, specifically during the school year. “This is the place where they can go and there’s a great technology center. There’s a place where they can get tutoring, they can check out books,” said Sulser. The second goal was to promote reading. This meant getting the students their own library card and showing them how to use the library’s materials. “Reading is the key to everything in education,” Sulser said. “So if we can get students to realize you may not have books at home or you may have read all your books at home, there’s a whole place here where you don’t have to pay for them, you just have to check them out and be sure you bring them back.” “What I have seen are a lot of kids that have never checked out a book before and they’re excited they get to take this book home; they get to read,” said Sulser. “So seeing kids who are excited about that was really cool.”

Pony Baseball 6U All-Stars play in FanFest BY JOE NAIMAN The festivities associated with Major League Baseball's All-Star Game at Petco Park in Downtown San Diego included a fan festival in the San Diego Convention Center southwest of the park. Convention center activity included youth games on an indoor diamond, and on July 8 Ramona Pony Baseball's Shetland All Star team played in one of those games. "They were beside themselves. In their heads they were playing Major League Baseball," said their manager, Mike Morgan. "It was just a great experience." The Shetland level of Pony Baseball is 6 years old and younger, and uses a T-ball format where batters hit the ball off a tee rather than from a pitch. The Ramona team consisted of 10 boys and two girls, and all 12 players batted each inning and were in the field at the same time. "We played three big innings," Morgan SEE PONY, A21

Ramona Girls Softball U14 All Stars qualify for nationals BY JOE NAIMAN For the first time in the history of Ramona Girls Softball, a team will be playing in the national tournament. A team two years ago qualified for nationals but, due to insufficient funding, was unable to compete. To help defray the cost of participating in the nationals, a GoFundMe account was set up for the Ramona team at GoFundMe.com/Ramona14UNationals. As of Monday afternoon, $1,500 had been raised. The goal is $10,000. If that is not reached, parents of the players plan to cover the difference. The Under-14 Ramona Girls Softball All-Stars team won its first game at the American Softball Association state tournament July 1-3 in Palmdale and earned a berth in the ASA national tournament July 26-31 in La Habra. "For a little team like this, it's pretty big," said Jim Anderson, manager of the Ramona team. "We don't have a whole lot to pull from." Ramona was one of 21 under-14 teams in the double-elimination state tournament. All of the Ramona Girls Softball age group teams qualified for the state tournament, although the under-14 squad was the only one that advanced to the national tournament. This was the first year all Ramona Girls Softball teams participated in the state tournament. "It was a good show for Ramona," Anderson said. At one time there were not enough Ramona girls for an under-14 team. The current under-14 program is only two years old and was organized by Chris Filippone. This year Anderson had been the head coach, who is responsible for readying the players for competition, and Eric Eimon had been the manager, who handles
administrative matters and is also in charge of the team on the diamond. Work made it geographically impossible for Eimon to continue as manager, so Anderson took over that role in June and Thomas Osuna became the head coach. "He's done an awesome job of running drills," Anderson said of Osuna. Anderson noted that Ramona High School varsity softball coach Kristina Wright and Bulldogs junior varsity coach Mike Simone also assisted in the team's instructional activities. Anderson made the decisions in the dugout during the state tournament games, and Osuna was the third base coach who provided various instructions to runners and batters. Anderson and Osuna conferred with each other on lineup changes. The team has 11 players, but only 10 of those were able to travel to the state tournament. "We had one sub," Anderson said. Ramona began the state tournament July 1 with a 9-5 victory over the Baldwin Hills All-Stars. "Pretty tight game in the beginning," Anderson said. That put Ramona into the winners' bracket and guaranteed the team entry into the national tournament. Both of Ramona's losses July 2 were by one run. The Temple City All-Stars prevailed by a 7-6 margin and the Clairemont Silver team obtained a 5-4 victory at Ramona's expense. "They were tight games," Anderson said. Clairemont would eventually reach the semifinals of the state tournament. "We were playing some pretty tough teams," Anderson said. Anderson had no complaints about his team's play. "They all put in 110 percent. It was a great performance by the girls," he said.

Events raise $19,783 for Ramona Junior Fair A combination of events on Saturday raised $19,783 for Ramona Junior Fair. Most — $16,420 — came from the annual Pie Auction. Proceeds from the barbecue dinner were $1,016; from the silent auction, $830; from after-auction barbecue food sales, $520; Friends of Angus donation to auctioneer, $500; pie in the face, $300; six bales of donated hay, $100; Tractor and Truck Show People’s Choice contributions, $80; Individual donation, $10; and “keep change” from barbecue, $7. The six-and-a-half-hour fundraiser included the Truck and Tractor Show, Deep Pit Barbecue Dinner and Pie Auction that included homemade pies, cakes, cookies, muffins, barbecue sauce, brownies, cream puffs, turnovers, sauces, lemon bars, scones, honey and banana bread. For the first year, trucks were added. Crissy Tobiason, junior fair board member coordinating the show, told the crowd that a young 4-H’er initiated the idea for the trucks when he spotted the truck Dr. Malcolm Boykin, DDS, used for his entry in the Ramona Main Street Parade in May. “Crissy, wouldn’t it be cool if that truck was in our tractor show?” she said the boy asked. Members of 4-H clubs and Future Farmers of America from Ramona, Poway, Julian, Santa Ysabel, Lakeside contributed most of the baked goods. Also donating were Ramona Ag Boosters, Ramona Grange, and individuals from the community. Young 4-H and FFA members toured the crowd holding each item as auctioneer Brett Huff pitched for the highest bids. The top donation — $3,200 — came from Friends of Angus, in memory of longtime Ramona Junior Fair supporter Angus Tobiason, who died last May. It was for the Toth chocolate chip cookies. Huff, a former Ramona 4-H’er and livestock ringman, returned for the second year as auctioneer. As event clerks, Lynne and Amanda Kotas kept a detailed accounting of all of the donations. In addition to thanking all those who participated and donated to the success of the fundraiser, Tobiason noted that the Donais family contributed all the spices and meat rubs for the dinner. The Miller family donated the milk to go with the desserts purchased throughout the pie auction. “And most importantly, Bob and Carole Trimble with Specialty Meats donated all of the meat for the event,” said Tobiason. “ I don’t know the (dollar) value of 150 pounds each of beef, pork and turkey, but their contribution to our program is priceless.” For Truck and Tractor Show results, see page A16. Pie Auction results listing the buyer, the item and the price in the order presented: • Specialty Meats, Best Boat Buddy Cookies, $370 • Aspin Well Drilling, Jon’s Barbecue Sauce & Rub, $80 • Belinda Hubbell, Pina Colada Cookie Cups, $120 • Tobiason Brothers, Pin Wheel Rolls, $110 • Kritter Kamp, Pig Cake, $200 • Bert & Debbie Huff, Lemon Bars, $160 • Ron & Kathy Sarabia, Chewy Noels, $120 • Friends of Angus, 3 Layer Coconut Cake, $210

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. 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.

Staffordshire Terrier mix, is looking for a patient home to call her own. This darling girl has had a bit of a rough start, and has been working with her caregivers to gain more confidence. She originally came into our care from another shelter with multiple wounds throughout her body that needed immediate attention. Despite the amount of pain she was in, Flower remained sweet and loving throughout her treatment. Flower can be timid when it comes to new people, and prefers to approach new visitors at her own pace without being rushed. Once she feels safe with someone, her favorite thing to do is crawl into your lap, lean in for pets and give gentle kisses. Flower is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus located at 3450 East Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275 or visit sdhumane.org. the street address and other common

FROM PONY, A10 said. Three assistant coaches are the standard for Shetland teams, and joining Morgan were Nick Conklin, Johnny Gaines and Kyle Patterson. Ramona faced a team from Mission Bay. No score was kept, since at the Shetland level the focus is on development rather than winning. "They played sharp and it was a positive experience overall," Morgan said. "We only had three weeks of practice and they looked really, really fantastic. We had a couple of weeks to work with the kids and they really came together as a team." The youth game was shown on the large scoreboard and also had announcers. "It was really cool,”

Pony Baseball's Western Region selected the teams to play at the San Diego Convention Center, and organizations that host Pony League tournaments were preferred.

The game organizer commended Morgan for his team's attitude. "As a coach that felt really nice," Morgan said. "They represented themselves well."

Portrait wins People’s Choice Award Warner Springs and El Centro Artist Star Fann has won the “Carol’s Kid’s” People’s Choice Award. The award is given annually to the artist receiving the most votes in the art show held each spring in the Banner Queen Trading Post and Art Gallery in Julian. This is the 10th year the show has been held. Fann’s painting, titled “Vivian,” is a portrait of a former fellow student. Vivian lived in Ranchita and attended Ramona resident Carol Ravy’s class in Borrego Springs for many years. Fann’s painting was a tribute to Vivian, who was a vibrant, energetic painter with a gift for painting people and who died several years ago. An award-winning artist, Fann often receives first and second place in the El Centro Fair show as well as many other shows, said Ravy. Star has been doing art most of her life. In addition to painting in watercolor, acrylics, oils, pen and ink, and pastels, she creates paintings from “found art.” An artist for more of her life, she said

Seasonal tips to keep plumbing operating smoothly (StatePoint) Proper seasonal maintenance can keep your plumbing running smoothly. Experts say that even those with no experience can inspect for issues and perform simple tasks to prevent costly repairs. “You don’t have to be a crackerjack plumber to handle basics and protect your home,” says Jeff Devlin, host on HGTV and DIY Networks. Devlin offers homeowners some plumbing tips: Kitchens and Bathrooms Ensure drains have strainers to prevent debris from clogging drain lines. Check faucets for drips and leaks. Inspect the toilet tank and bowl for visible cracks. Check for hidden leaks by adding six drops of food coloring to the tank. If the toilet is leaking, color will appear in the bowl within 30 minutes. Ensure toilets flush properly. If the handle must be held down to flush, or jiggled to stop water from running, you may need to replace parts. Clean mineral deposits from the shower head. Unscrew it and soak in vinegar overnight. Then gently scrub with an old toothbrush. Water Heater Carefully drain several gallons from the tank to flush out corrosion-causing sediment, which reduces heating efficiency and shortens the life of the heater. Consider replacing those older than 15 years with a new, energy-efficient model. Appliances Check your dishwasher, washing machine
and ice maker’s supply hoses for bulges or leaks. Replace hoses showing signs of weakness or those older than 10 years. Use stainless steel hoses, which are more reliable and less prone to bursting. Clean your washing machine lint trap, and place a wire trap or a piece of pantyhose over the end of the hose that drains the washer. General Pour water into infrequently used drains to fill traps and prevent odors. Slow floor drains should be snaked to ensure they’ll carry water away during flooding. Take a reading on your water meter before bedtime. The next morning, without using any water overnight, take another reading. If it’s changed, you have a leak that should be repaired. Outside Free yard drains, gutters and downspouts of debris. Check for bird nests in plumbing vent pipes. Check faucets and hose bibs to ensure water flows freely. If an outdoor faucet drips, or if there is leakage inside your home the first time the hose is turned on, you may have had a frozen pipe that cracked and needs to be replaced. Be Equipped Look for commercial-quality products designed with average consumers in mind. For example, Roto-Rooter, with 80 years of experience, now offers a complete line of consumer products that contain 25 percent more active ingredients and clear clogs 50 percent faster than the competition.
