Blaze burns 133 acres A wildfire that blackened a swath of open land south of Ramona, threatening some Barona Mesa homes while spreading across rugged, brushy terrain was 65 percent contained Tuesday morning. The Feather Fire erupted for unknown reasons about 1:20 p.m. Monday off El Capitan Truck Trail near Featherstone Canyon Road in the Barona area, reported Cal Fire. Within 45 minutes, the flames had charred about 30 acres and were moving toward residences in the Barona Mesa community, said Cal Fire Capt. Kendal Bortisser. The fire, which grew to 133 acres, prompted some Barona Mesa residents who had lost homes in the 2003 wildfire to head home. SEE BLAZE, A6

Smoke billows toward homes in Barona Mesa.

Voters to decide on sales tax hike San Diego Association of Governments is asking voters for another sales tax increase. The board of the regional agency recently approved putting a bid for a 40-year countywide half-cent sales tax on the Nov. 8 ballot. If approved, the money would pay for freeway projects, road repairs, trolley lines, open space management and observing state water quality mandates, Phil Trom, senior regional planner for SANDAG, told Ramona Community Planning Group members during their July meeting. If the measure passes, the widening of state Route 67 to four lanes between Dye Road in Ramona and Mapleview Street in Lakeside would move into the SEE TAX, A2

Ramona residents living in Barona Mesa and San Diego Country Estates got a taste of what may be in store when a fire that started in Barona Monday afternoon spread quickly to 50 acres and threatened homes in Barona Mesa (see related article).

Pot shop applicants hire consultant BY KAREN BRAINARD Applicants for medical marijuana collectives are looking into how they can alleviate community concerns and proceed once the county moratorium on such businesses expires next spring, according to a consultant representing them. Chris Brown said he represents eight applicants for dispensaries or cultivation sites – four that had received building permits before the moratorium adopted March 16, and four that were in the process of obtaining permits. About two of those are in Ramona, he said, but he declined to specify which

Cal Fire and San Diego County are preparing for this year’s fire season by staffing all state resources, banning burn permits for the remainder of the summer and promoting fuel reduction programs such as defensive space clearing, said Cal Fire Chief Steve Foster. “Per usual, the threat will be greater in August and September when the crops are even drier and we tend to get more Santa SEE FIRE, A6

FROM TAX, A1 Priority Corridors Program and occur before 2050 as currently projected, Trom said. SANDAG has put a 15-year timeline on the Priority Corridors projects, and each is considered first priority, Trom said. “I think that’s a big win for Ramona,” said Trom. According to a statement from SANDAG, the measure would “use its best efforts to complete projects in the Priority Corridors Program within 15 years.” “As the money comes in, you spend it,” said Trom. “That Purple Line (Trolley) project is going to take 15 full years to do, but perhaps these other projects can come in earlier.” In 1987, voters approved a 20-year TransNet half-cent tax for transportation projects. In 2004, voters approved a 40-year extension of the tax for highway, transit and local road projects. That tax will expire in 2048. The Nov. 8 ballot measure “is needed to keep pace with the growing needs of a growing population and to build on the successes that we’ve had with the TransNet with the half cent sales tax program that’s been in existence since 1987,” said Trom. The county’s population will grow 30 percent by 2050, meaning there will be over 1 million additional people living in the region, over 460,000 additional jobs and at least 325,000 additional housing units, he said. SANDAG calculates that this growth causes a funding gap of approximately $18 billion. “This funding measure is meant to bridge that gap,” Trom said. To find ways to use taxpayer dollars effectively, SANDAG used census data to track where citizens live and travel, he said. In Ramona’s subregion, 69 percent of people go outside the subregion for work while 31 percent

stay within the boundaries. Seventy-three percent of work trips monitored were from people leaving Ramona for work. “What that means is we have a whole lot of transportation projects that are necessary, not just within the subregion but to really support the whole system,” said Trom. When looking at employment, Trom said that residents fill 46 percent of the jobs within East County, while people living outside the area fill 54 percent. “We look at both sides -- people that live within the subregion, also where those jobs are, and how people are coming in and actually utilizing those jobs,” he said. “We think really, really carefully about that.” Using information gathered, SANDAG developed its most recent regional transportation plan for the county. The plan goes until 2050, and includes $204 billion of transportation projects. According to Trom, these transportation projects provide more mobility choices for people and preserve more than half of the land as permanent open space. “So when we look at TransNet, the current sales tax measure they have, it’s that sales tax that you pay every day, we built quite a number of projects with that money, accruing dollars since ’87,” Trom said. “Going back to ’87, when this type of analysis was done, we found ourselves in a very similar situation: Growing population, needing more projects, and needing some way to bridge that gap.” For every dollar the county sales tax raises, the state and federal government gives at least $3, said Trom, allowing SANDAG to compete with other agencies for state and federal money. “We’ve been very competitive when we put together very good projects,” he said. “So (we) get whole dollars of projects on the 5 cents brought from the community. I think that’s a really

THANK YOU FOR VOTING US BEST PROPANE SUPPLIER

interesting success to share.” Of the $18 billion SANDAG hopes to get from a new tax, 14 percent, or about $2.6 billion, would fund highways, carpool/manages lanes and connectors, and $500 million would go to transportation grants. Twenty-four percent of the proposed tax, or $4.3 billion, will be spent on local infrastructure projects such as potholes, road repairs and wash/manage pollution runoff. “That would be apportioned by population, so the county, Ramona, would get a chunk of that,” said Trom. The expenditure also includes $2 billion for open space. At least 55 percent of the county would be preserved as permanent open space, which is bigger than the size of Delaware, noted Trom. The proposal also designates $7.5 billion to build and operate public transit, $540 million for active transportation, $900 million to separate trolley/rail tracks from vehicle traffic, and $178 million for arterial traffic light synchronization. SANDAG’s Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee that reviews all the expenditures for TransNet would continue, so “there would be oversight, accountability, as we’ve done since 1987,” said Trom. “This really invests heavily in our future transportation systems, to respond to the population growth really looking at the economic fiscal impacts and I think we get a lot of bang for our buck in the region,” Trom said. Planning group chair Jim Piva thanked Trom for his time. “Obviously there’s going to be growth and you guys have done a really good job of it,” he said. “I know that you get complaints, yelled at a lot, but I for one was grateful for the work and the help that you provided us on the (state Route 67/Dye Road/Highland Valley Road) intersection. You were open to our discussion.”

Water district passes annual budget

PHOTO COURTESY OF WOODY KIRKMAN

Woody Kirkman, president of Ramona Town Hall trustees, and secretary-treasurer Sandee Salvatore present a $6,875 check to Michael Clark of Ramona Self Storage, the winner of the town hall fundraiser's 50/50 opportunity drawing on July 4.

Town Hall drawing raises $13,750 Michael Clark, with Ramona Self Storage, was the winner of the Ramona Town Hall fundraiser drawing on July 4. Clark won $6,875 in the 50/50 opportunity drawing from the 275 tickets sold, said Woody Kirkman, president of the Town Hall trustees. A minimum of 1,200 tickets were required to be sold for a chance to win a 2016 Ford vehicle, he said. The fundraiser to restore the Town Hall’s Main Hall kicked off in October 2015 with tickets

at $50 each and a goal of selling 2,000. Kirkman said the $6,875 raised will be used with the county’s recent Community Enhancement grant of $15,000 to paint the facade of the town hall at 729 Main St., and hopefully go toward the first phase of the Main Hall restoration, which includes structural engineering, architectural drawings and permits. The cost of the first phase is estimated at $150,000, he said.

BY JESSICA KING Ramona Municipal Water District directors have unanimously passed a 2016-17 fiscal year budget. The budget includes total revenues of $30.8 million and total expenditures of $42 million. Because district directors do not like to borrow money for capital projects, funds have been accumulating to pay for improvement projects, and that money explains the difference between the budget revenues and expenditures, said Richard Hannasch, the district’s chief financial officer. Among examples are $4.6 million for water system infrastructure, $2.5 million to relocate aging water pipelines during the San Vicente Road Realignment Project, $3.5 million for Santa Maria Sewer Service infrastructure, and $1.2 million for San Vicente Sewer Service capital projects, he said. Of the total revenues, $25.7 million stems from rates and charges. The remaining $5.2 million comes from property taxes the county collects and turns over to the district. The district’s budget is broken into six funds: water, fire, parks, San Vicente and Santa Maria wastewater, and a general fund. Revenues generated by each of those categories can only be spent in their respective funds, said

Hannasch. This means the district only has discretion on how to spend its allotment of property tax. Budget documents show the district’s 2016-17 property tax allotment will be spent as follows: $2.3 million on fire operations, $150,000 on fire capital purchases, $499,000 on debt service payments, $200,000 on capital projects, $500,000 on water operations, $400,000 on general fund capital projects, $400,000 on other general fund needs, $400,000 on Santa Maria Sewer capital projects and $400,000 on San Vicente Sewer capital projects. All of the property taxes being allocated to the water fund — $500,000 — will go directly into the district’s rate stabilization fund, bringing its total to $1.5 million. The rate stabilization fund is intended to offset effects of the district’s water fund, which is expected to decline from $18 million in 2015-16 to $15.8 million in 2016-17. Personnel throughout the water district will remain the same, said Hannasch, noting the RMWD has employed 48 people since the 2013-14 fiscal year. Jim Hickle, the board treasurer, encouraged his colleagues to pass the budget, calling it “very good” and “balanced.”

EDITORIAL

Reasons to be thankful As we absorb the numbing number of acts of terror and violence elsewhere, we are thankful for the opportunity to acknowledge some of the positives in our community. THUMBS UP to the emergency crews who responded quickly and effectively to the 133-acre brush fire that threatened homes in Barona Mesa and areas south of San Diego Country Estates Monday afternoon. As word of the fire spread, residents headed home to tend to animals and keep watch. Few, if any, left when the sheriff’s department advised them to evacuate. The county updated affected residents and others registered on its emergency site — readysandiego.org — and many in the community used Facebook and other social media connections to share information. While the community dodged a bullet Monday, that may not be the case next time, so let’s be ready. THUMBS UP to Ramona Rotary Club for another great July 4th Family Picnic and Fireworks. Next year will be the 25th year of fireworks here and the 100th anniversary of Rotary International, so plans are underway for a more spectacular Independence Day celebration. Without the community’s support, the annual skyshow wouldn’t happen. From donations of pocket change from individuals to $2,000 from one family and everything in between, Ramona again showed its generosity and patriotism, making it possible for residents to enjoy the holiday festivities in town. THUMBS UP to 4-H’ers and Future Farmers of America members who staged the recent Ramona Junior Fair Pie Auction that raised $16,783 for Ramona Junior Fair. “Not many organizations would leave their major fundraiser in the hands of 9- to 18-year-olds,” said junior fair board member Crissy Tobiason. Adult leaders support the children and teens and make sure they have the tools to do the job, but it’s the 4-H and FFA members who get the job done, Tobiason said, sounding understandably proud. Also benefiting Ramona Junior Fair that day were a barbecue dinner and truck and tractor show for a grand total of $19,783. THUMBS UP to Ramona Unified School District and Palomar Community College for returning college classes to Ramona. As reported in June, at least five Palomar classes will be held on the Ramona Community School campus this fall. The classes will be open to the community and, according to the district, a Middle College program may start next year, allowing high school students to work toward their high school diploma and associate’s degree at the same time. Ramona Community Principal Kathryn Gunderson and RUSD Superintendent Anne Staffieri were scheduled to meet this week SEE THUMBS, A13

Slow for Ramona

Most of us have experienced dangerous situations on our local highways — drivers tailgating on Highway 78 or drivers failing to notice you slow down as you make your left turn from Highway 67. Our family has created reminders for drivers to "Slow for Ramona." Drivers who are distracted or unfamiliar with the area do not always realize that they are driving through a neighborhood — a rural neighborhood. We wish to remind and encourage drivers to slow down and enjoy the drive in Ramona. Enjoy our downtown area. Visit our stores, restaurants and wineries. Experience Ramona. These free stickers have been made available at Elston Hay & Grain, Diamond D Feed & Supply Co., Livery Feed & Ranch Supply, Kahoots Feed & Pet Store and The Tractor Supply Co. If you would like to have a sticker for your car or truck, please visit one of these stores or contact Robin Maxson at robinjoymaxson@gmail.com. Robin Joy Maxson Ramona

Fireworks thanks

I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who helped to make this year's Ramona Rotary 4th of July Fireworks and Picnic a huge success. This was the 24th year that Ramona Rotary has put on the fireworks in Ramona. It is great to see the faces of all those enjoying the evening and fireworks, especially the kids. Whether you were on the field at Olive Peirce, barbecuing at home, with friends or at the churches, Ramona Rotary hopes you all enjoyed watching the fireworks. Rotary is able to do this event each year because of the generous, continuous support and donations of Ramona businesses and community sponsors -- along with everyone who has donated to the collection containers around town.

Thank you to all of the community organizations that have already successfully advocated for the future of downtown Ramona as a walkable, healthy, vibrant destination place via the Santa Maria Creek Greenway. In no small part, because of your efforts to show support, the greenway has leaped from a line on the Ramona General Plan map with no dedications to two soon-to-be-on-the-ground multi-use trail easements. There will be more! Last year, San Diego County staff asked for evidence that Ramonans still value and want the Santa Maria Greenway. Ramona Food and Clothes Closet, Boys and Girls Club, Ramona Chamber of Commerce, and Ramona Community Planning Group have come through with strong support of the Santa Maria Creek Greenway. As a result, county staff has renewed efforts to secure easements from new construction along Santa Maria Creek. The county has also focused on financial benefits for property owners adjacent to the creek who voluntarily dedicate trail easements for the greenway. A big thank you goes out to Supervisor Dianne Jacob for her willingness to be accessible for ongoing strategy meetings, for helping to create the Santa Maria Creek staging area, and for promoting this project. And to the property owners who have voluntarily dedicated to this project — most recently Steve Powell representing the developers of the Creekside Village Walk project. There is no way to overstate the support that Ramona Trails Association has given to make the greenway possible. Iron Mountain Conservancy and RTA work together as strong proponents of a scenic, safe greenway with nature to treasure and learn from. If you haven’t had a chance to show your support, as an organization or an individual, please do. If you would like to use existing letters of support as a template, submit a support letter, get more information on this project, or volunteer to be a part of the Friends of Santa Maria Creek Greenway effort, go to www.ironmountainconservancy.org/. Your help will make a difference. Thanks again. Janine Moniot Ramona

advisories. “I’m not leaving,” said Barona Mesa resident Debi Fraser as officials told residents at the east end of Four Corners to evacuate. “We have 35 animals here.” The sheriff’s department directed residents with large animals to the equestrian center at 16911 Gunn Stage Road in Country Estates

and other residents to a temporary evacuation center at El Capitan High School in Lakeside. Persons watching the fire’s progress from Barona Mesa said that fire engines and other emergency vehicles were stationed on hills by several homes the fire threatened. No structures were reported damaged, and

there were no reports of injuries. Among sheriff’s department advisories as crews fought the fire was the reminder that residents could call 2-1-1 for updated information and, if they were not already registered, they could sign up to receive AlertSanDiego messages at www.sdcountyemergency.com.

going to be a big part that the public needs to do,” said Foster. “We cannot do this all alone.” Cal Fire is encouraging residents to create two zones around their homes. The first zone will consist of the first 30 feet around the structure. That zone, said Foster, should be cleared of all dead or dying vegetation, tree branches less than 10 feet from the home and any decks, woodpiles and any other combustible materials. The next zone expands 100 feet around the home and should have grass no higher than four inches off the ground and a

limited amount of fallen leaves, twigs and other yard debris. Trees in the 100-foot zone should also be far enough apart from one another that their branches have a minimum 10-foot gap between them. When cutting grass, residents should do so in the early morning when temperatures are lower and humidity is higher, said Foster, adding that everyone should also avoid using metal blades on their weed eaters. At the very least, residents should make sure their address is clearly visible from the street and clear all items that could easily

ignite within 10 feet of a propane tank, such as trash and shrubbery. “Doing these minimums will increase the chances of your home surviving a wildfire,” said Foster. Technology can also be utilized should a big wildfire break out in Ramona this year. Foster points to Ready San Diego’s free app as a tool everyone should download to their electronic devices. It is available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Residents can also visit the website, readysandiego.org, to learn more about how to prepare for a large fire.

Palomar Health on track to transfer behavioral health unit to Poway BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Palomar Health is on track to move its behavioral health unit from Escondido to the Pomerado Hospital campus in Poway by year’s end, officials said. The 20-beds (a mix of behavioral health and a new inpatient older adult program) will complement the 12-bed gero-psychiatric unit that has existed at Pomerado for several years to treat older patients with acute psychiatric disorders, age-related difficulties and possible memory impairments. Spokesman Chris Saunders said the adult behavioral health unit is moving to Villa Pomerado — adjacent to Pomerado Hospital — by late 2016. The unit treats those with mental illness, which Saunders said includes “any individual in any part of society,” such as college students, professionals and senior citizens. Their illnesses include depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other conditions that require in-patient treatment. He said a small percentage of its behavioral health unit and gero unit patients are homeless. “Our policy is not to release them back to the streets without a place to go,” he said. “If they don’t have family members they can live with, we will find them a nursing home, long-term care facility, crisis house, board and care, independent living, shelter or other appropriate facility. We won’t discharge them until we have found such a living situation.” He added that adding more beds in Poway “will not have any further impact on the surrounding areas than there has been for many years. The ... unit has done very well in providing a safe environment for patients, caregivers and the community.”

The move is another component of the public hospital’s plan to consolidate its services and close its Palomar Health Downtown Campus in Escondido. Preceding the closure announcement in June 2015, Palomar Health held several meetings — including two community gatherings in Poway — to inform locals of its plan and to address their concerns. Officials said the public health district was losing $20 million a year by keeping the downtown campus about three miles from Palomar’s new state-of-the-art hospital that opened in 2012. In addition, more than $172 million in infrastructure and information technological upgrades are needed over the next several years at the campus that was the original Palomar Medical Center. Money saved through the closure is to go toward reinvesting in patient care throughout the system, officials stated last year. In all, the closure could mean a savings of $272.4 million over five years. Regarding other downtown campus services still operating, officials said its birth center/neonatal intensive care unit will likely move to Palomar Medical Center by this fall and the acute rehabilitation unit will relocate there by year’s end, where it will be based until a much larger facility is ready by fall 2019. Last month, Palomar Health announced it reached an agreement to build a 52-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital through a joint venture with Kindred Healthcare, Inc. The third-party developer will construct the facility on the Palomar Medical Center campus and lease it to the joint venture managed by Kindred so Palomar Health will not need to make any capital expenditures.

Pomerado Hospital in Poway. Kindred Healthcare already manages Palomar’s inpatient rehabilitation unit at its downtown campus in addition to other services throughout the San Diego region. “This new hospital will provide inpatient rehabilitation services that complement Palomar’s highly regarded acute care services and help patients recover and return home,” said Benjamin Breier, Kindred’s president and CEO. “The transition of Palomar Health Downtown Campus-based programs and services has been going very smoothly as we move closer to the relocation of our cornerstone inpatient care units of the (campus) by the end of calendar year 2016,” said Frank Beirne, Palomar Health’s executive vice president of operations. “The relocation of the (remaining) core inpatient services ... is dependent on Palomar Health receiving final regulatory approvals, so we don’t yet have an exact timetable on these moves.

Finally Feel at Home. Buy New in Ramona. A location you’ll love at a price you can afford.

“It’s important to remember ... that there will be no interruption or degradation of services during this transition,” Beirne said. “Our goal and commitment remain unwavering that Palomar Health and our care team will do whatever it takes to ensure that the patient comes first when it comes to providing healthcare services to the communities we serve until our last patient leaves the (downtown) campus.” Also set for future moves are the infusion center (moving to Pomerado Outpatient Pavilion), medical records (moving to 2227 Enterprise Street in Escondido), perinatal testing (moving to 488 E. Valley Parkway in Escondido) and radiation therapy (moving to Palomar Medical Center). Details on the laboratory draw station are yet to be determined. As for other departments: • Outpatient surgery was split among Palomar Medical Center and Pomerado Hospital. • Pre-admission testing moved in January from Palomar Medical Center and Pomerado Hospital to the Pomerado Outpatient Pavilion in Poway. • The downtown campus’ standby emergency department closed in March. Non-emergent ambulatory services are provided through a partnership with downtown Escondido area community health centers. • Cardiac rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, patient financial services and sleep lab have moved to Palomar Health’s San Marcos facility at 120 Craven Road. • Home health has moved to 800 W. Valley Parkway in Escondido. • Medical staff services moved to Palomar Medical Center.

COUNTY GRADES ALLEY

A San Diego County Department of Public Works crew fills potholes and grades the alley between Ninth and 10th streets on Friday, July 15. Joe Stupar, executive director of the Ramona Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber had received complaints about the condition of the alley, which runs behind the chamber building.

13th Street bridge update July 26 An update on the 13th Street bridge project, and consideration of a Jiffy Lube on Main Street and a 10-lot subdivision on E Street, are among agenda items for Ramona Community Planning Group’s Transportation and Trails Subcommittee’s July 26 agenda. The meeting, open to the public, begins at 6:30 p.m. in Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. The committee considers items and projects related to transportation and trails before they are presented to the 15-member elected planning group. The planning group’s next meeting will be Thursday, Aug. 4, at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Library Community Room, 1275 Main St. In 2011, the county was awarded a federal grant to construct a bridge on 13th Street to replace the dip where the street crosses the Santa Maria Creek bed, near the intersection with Walnut Street. The project has been in

the design phase. Also on the agenda is a proposal for a Jiffy Lube at 1850 Main St., next to Autozone, by Boos Development West, LLC. The location is in the village center form-based code area and there are D and D5 Special Area Regulations on the property. In addition, the tentative map of a 10-lot subdivision at 310 East E St., near the intersection of Third and F streets, will be presented by H & W Custom Builders, and two items that were brought up by residents at the July 7 planning group meeting will be discussed: drainage on Keyes Road, a few feet south of Hanson Lane, and request for a safe crossing such as an underground culvert to divert flooding and damage to large vehicle undercarriage; and safety for access point on the north side of state Route 67, 1,000 feet north of Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection, after construction is completed.

County to waive animal adoption fees Saturday San Diego County Animal Services will waive all adoption fees for its animals on Saturday, July 23, as part of the Clear the Shelters pet adoption campaign. For the second consecutive year, nearly a dozen local shelters will join a one-day, all-out push to give every shelter animal a home.

At County Animal Services, qualified applicants can get adoption fees waived for kittens, cats, puppies, dogs, rabbits and chickens. If they don’t get adopted before then, a turtle, a parakeet and even a green iguana will be available. Dogs and cats will be altered, vaccinated SEE PETS, A25

NEW CHAMBER MEMBER

Surrounded by her family and Ramona Chamber of Commerce members, Debora Meskell, an Edward Jones financial adviser, prepares to cut the ceremonial ribbon to signify her chamber membership. Joining her are her husband, Patrick, twin sons Matthew and James, son Colton, and daughter Michaela, along with Senior Branch Administrator Amy Ward. Meskell's Edward Jones office is at 1672 Main St., Suite 6c.

The filing period for candidates in the the Nov. 8 election opened Monday. In Ramona, two seats for the Ramona Unified School District Board will be open, three on the Ramona Municipal Water District Board and eight on the Ramona Community Planning Group. The filing period for candidates will continue through Aug. 12. An 80-page Candidate Filing Guide is online at www.sdvote.com. More information also is available at 858-505-7250. Both incumbents on the school board — Dawn Perfect and John Rajcic — said they plan to seek re-election. Perfect is seeking her third four-year term and Rajcic is seeking his second term. Two water board directors — Darrell Beck, who represents Division 1, and George Foote, who represents Division 5, said they will not seek another four-year term. Division 3 Director Thomas Ace said he plans to file as a candidate in the November election. Ace is the

third director to represent Division 3 since the 2012 election. He was appointed to the seat in April 2015, following the resignation of Arnie Cares, who served two months. Cares had been appointed after elected director Rex Schildhouse resigned in October 2014. Division 1 covers part of the water district’s downtown and northeast areas, Division 3 includes areas of San Diego Country Estates and south of Warnock Drive, and Division 5 covers the east end of the Estates. For a map of the divisions, see rmwd.org and click “board of directors” at the top. Planning group seats that will be on the ballot are now held by chair Jim Piva, Jim Cooper, Donna Myers, Paul Stykel, Richard Tomlinson, Eb Hogervorst, Barbara Jensen and Torry Brean. Piva, who has served two four-year terms, said he will not seek re-election. Stykel and Brean said they will run again, but Jensen and Tomlinson are undecided, as are Cooper and Myers. The Sentinel was unable to contact Hogervorst.

Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG

The party starts at 6 p.m.

y now you’ve determined what a party animal I am. For years my articles have been littered with confetti, exotic travel and the detritus of good times. So it’s probably no surprise that I cracked open the bubbly yesterday to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this column. Happy anniversary! Time flies when you’re having fun. The first column noted “most eyes glaze over when the discussion turns to marketing.” Challenge accepted! After spending years protesting the “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” attitude of most professional marketers, my simple objective became making marketing accessible to everyone. When readers started commenting “I don’t need marketing for any reason, but enjoy reading your column because you make the subject understandable without talking down to me,” I realized I’d been successful. Does your organization have an anniversary to celebrate, too? Any surviving enterprise should periodically trumpet its longevity with customers. Because enduring despite recession, tight credit, wildfires, terrorist threats, competition and all of today’s other realities tells customers you’re a serious player. Consider how saying “Servicing your needs

since 2006” on invoices reminds folks you’ve been around and are here to stay. Or how putting call-outs announcing milestone anniversaries on brochures serves the same purpose. Even better, involve customers in your success with anniversary parties, sweepstakes and contests. Why bother? Because turning your anniversary into a promotional event will help you stand out of the crowd. After all, this is YOUR anniversary. The odds are slim that Joe down the street will do the same thing. Anniversary events also minimize the need to rely on suppliers or partners. They can appeal to local audiences or those online, and can be as complex (or inexpensive) as you wish them to be. Best of all, in-house anniversary promotions provide the perfect reason to use your house list. You’ll reach out to customers and prospects alike, reminding them why they should do business with you. To celebrate this collector’s issue, the Ask Mr. Marketing column is available for 10% less than its normal cost. THIS WEEK ONLY! Think of that: 100% of my invaluable marketing advice at a special discounted price. Consider it to be my gift to you as thanks for your loyalty and readership. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

A range of vendors will participate, food and beverages will be

available, and a drawing for a 45 caliber single action cowboy gun from EMF (Early Modern Firearms) Company will be held. Tickets for the drawing are $10 each and are available at Oliver’s store from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Only 200 tickets for the gun, valued at $500, will be sold. Oliver plans to donate proceeds from the event to Ramona Town Hall. Steve Tellam of Ramona will talk about the modern-day cowboy, and Jim Cooper of Ramona will demonstrate leatherworking. Among vendors will be AB Hatters, Alpine Collectibles and saddlemaker Dave Morrison. The San Diego County Cowbelles will represent the cattlewoman heritage.

Dianne’s Corner BY SUPERVISOR DIANNE JACOB

Prepare and protect News and notes from County Supervisor Dianne Jacob Prepare and protect: The recent Border Fire was a tragic reminder of the risks we face each year across East County. We may be heading into one of our worst fire seasons yet, and there is an awful lot of brush out there — dry brush — that hasn't burned in over 50 years. Please remember to cut back brush around your home, clear out flammable debris and take other steps to reduce your risk. Fire officials say you need to maintain at least 100 feet of defensible space around your home. For more on how to prepare, go to readysandiego.org. Stop the scourge: I recently joined District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and other health and public safety officials to announce a public awareness campaign aimed at shining a light on human trafficking. The campaign builds on our efforts in recent years to crack down on a heinous crime that victimizes some 11,700 mostly underage local girls each year. We’re talking about girls as

young as 14 or 15 forced into sexual slavery! To learn more, check out the public awareness campaign website: theuglytruthsd.org. Honoring our finest: It’s always a great privilege for me to present county proclamations to people and programs that have accomplished amazing things. A couple of recent recipients: • Cancer survivor Leslie Pierce. Leslie was named 2016 Woman of the Year by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She has raised more than $50,000 to support cancer-related research. • Spring Valley Youth and Family Coalition. The organization continues to work hard to improve the health and safety of teens and others in the Spring Valley area. For more District 2 news, go to www.diannejacob.com or follow me on Facebook and Twitter. If I can assist with a county issue, please call my office at 619-531-5522 or email dianne.jacob@sdcounty.ca.gov Have a great East County day! Dianne

Supervisors approve $5.36 billion budget BY PAUL LEVIKOW San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved a $5.36 billion budget for fiscal year 2016-17, which began July 1. “Today's budget maintains an excellent balance between the fiscal discipline demanded by our residents, while also meeting the needs of our most vulnerable population,” Chief Administrative Officer Helen Robbins-Meyer said. The budget is part of a two-year operational plan. “Our mission and our goal is to truly help each and every one of us live well,” Chairman Ron Roberts said before the 5-0 vote. County officials plan their spending in two-year cycles. The actual budget for the fiscal year is scheduled to be considered for adoption in August, but approval of the operational plan provides the county government the necessary authority to conduct business until then. “We have a lot of challenges on the horizon and now is not the time to let down our guard, even though we are in better fiscal times than in past years,” Vice Chairwoman Dianne Jacob said. “We never make everybody happy, but our job is to balance the

interests and to make sure fiscally, most important, fiscally, that we keep on a very sound, strict track.” The budget is higher than the $5 billion proposed in May. The new budget will include an increase of $59 million for behavioral health services, including expansion of psychiatric emergency response teams and more housing and support for homeless people with mental health issues. An increase in spending is also planned for helping refugees, restorative justice, diversion and youth court, security at county facilities and summer night lights at some neighborhood parks. The county plans to add the equivalent of at least 360 staff years, bringing total employment to 17,396 staff years -- quantified in that manner to account for part-time positions. Most of the new jobs will be in public safety and in the Health and Human Services Agency. “I've often heard it said that nobody cares how much you know, they want to know how much you care,” Supervisor Bill Horn said. “I think the county has demonstrated that. I think our actions have spoken louder than our words. We've put our money where our mouth is.”

PREP FOOTBALL

Bulldogs spend their summer preparing for season BY ALEXIS NAGEM Ramona High School Bulldogs are spending the summer preparing for football season. The five-week program began June 13, with players meeting their coaches and teammates on the football field Monday through Thursday, from 7:30 to 9:45 a.m., with some 7 on 7 tournaments held during the weekends. The mandatory varsity California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Dead Period began Sunday and lasts until the end of July, with practice starting again on Aug. 3. Each week of practice, the coaches focus on their game plan, installing different situations that can come up during a game. For offense, this includes prepping for third-down periods, goal line periods, 7 on 7 periods, down periods, blitz periods, and the fundamentals of blocking and tackling. When working on defense, the coaches focus on stopping the opponent’s offensive system using tackle and pursuit techniques. Head coach Damon Baldwin said this is the youngest team he has had at Ramona High since he started at the school in 2005, with only a handful of students having previously played in a varsity football game. “The kids have been fantastic and have worked so hard and are a joy to coach,” he said. “The kids we have on our team have met our standards of attitude and character along with

Ramona High School varsity players listen to instructions from their coach after training in the campus weight room. scholastic expectations that you must meet in order to play CIF high school sports. I am very proud of our boys at this point (and I) love to see and coach them each day.” Right guard Travis Johnson, a senior, is also confident in the younger players’ skills and their ability to work with the team. “There’s still some seniors left over from last year,” he said. “We’ve been really working hard, and a lot of these new young guys are looking really good. I feel like they know what they’re doing.” The upcoming season will be quick tackle Wyatt Stevens’ third year on varsity, and the

Girls tennis tryouts start Aug. 8 Troy Romero, the new tennis coach at Ramona High School, said tryouts for the girls will start on Aug. 8 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Riviera Oaks Resort in San Diego Country Estates. The first game of the fall season will be against Pacific Ridge School on Aug. 30. Romero replaces Rose Darrough, who resigned after six years as tennis coach. With a daughter starting high school next month, she said she wanted to devote time to support her daughter’s endeavors.

This will be Romero’s first year as a tennis coach. A middle school basketball coach for 16 years, Romero has three daughters — Brittany, Taylor and Lexi — who went through the Ramona High School tennis program. Lexi plays tennis at Southern Virginia University. His youngest daughter, Halli, is a sophomore who has three years left in the program. “I played for my high school team in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and placed in State my last several years,” he noted. “I am now just a recreational player.”

senior noted how beneficial the practices have been. “It’s definitely been helpful knowing all the plays, just be dependable that way,” he said. Running back Kaleb Berman, a junior, said he feels good about the upcoming season. The coaches created a more rigorous practice regimen than usual to prepare players for the season, he said. “Since I got here, the coaching staff has been a lot more challenging,” he said. “(They’re) a lot more strict on you and want you to be the best that you can be, and it will eventually help you in life.”

Baldwin said he wants his players to build character as well as skill. “Each Monday since January we had character lessons,” he said. “Kids these days do not get this enough in schools. We all want great kids, but most schools do not teach or set plans to teach kids how to be great. Teaching them to respect and be accountable for their actions and how to treat peers and adults is a big part of growing up.” Right tackle Brendan Johnson, a senior transfer from Stanwood High School in Stanwood, Wash., is new to the team, but is already impressed with the staff’s investment in the players. “They’re definitely more interested in the team as a whole rather than focusing on one person,” he said. “They’re also very smart in football. They know where people need to be no matter how you feel about it.” Even though the season hasn’t started yet, many players are already looking forward to facing-off and hopefully beating the Poway Titans. “I look forward to each game,” Baldwin said. “It is a chance for our kids to have fun and come together and show what they have learned and do. Poway is our rival from our eyes.” Varsity’s first match will be an away game Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. against the St. Augustine Saints. “They’re a tough team to get down but I think we can do it,” said Stevens.

Volleyball camps helps fund high school teams Program gives younger players experience

BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s volleyball programs conduct a series of developmental skills clinics that are fundraisers for the Bulldogs’ girls and boys volleyball programs and also teach skills to younger players. An evening camp Aug. 1-3 in the high school gymnasium will be for high school girls seeking berths on the freshman and junior varsity squads, and a morning camp Aug. 1-4 will be a beginning session for girls entering eighth grade or lower and boys entering sixth grade or lower who have one

season or less of volleyball experience. Also planned is an early afternoon intermediate youth session Aug. 1-4 for girls up to eighth grade and boys up to sixth grade with at least two seasons of experience, and a mid-afternoon camp Aug. 1-4 for boys entering seventh through 10th grades. A camp for middle school boys and girls is planned for the third week of August. “We encourage anybody interested in trying to learn the sport to come on out,” said girls varsity head coach Connie SEE CAMPS, A18

Failla defeats top seeds in two Canadian tournaments Wins singles and doubles at Morley Field open BY JOE NAIMAN Jessica Failla's summer break from college tennis has included winning the women's singles and women's doubles championships at the U.S. Tennis Association's National Open Hard Court Championships at San Diego's Morley Field. In addition, she defeated the top seeds in two Canadian professional tournaments — the semifinals of the Encore FX Victoria International and that tournament's championship match. "I was playing a lot," Failla said. Failla, a lifelong Ramona resident, attends the University of Southern California. This year USC advanced to the second round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament and Failla was the Trojans' No. 5 singles player. "We played pretty well overall, so it was a good feeling, and I think we're pretty motivated for next year," said Failla, who was a sophomore during the 2015-16 season. USC lost to Pepperdine in the second round May 14. "We had a tough draw," Failla said. The National Open Hard Court Championships took place May 30 through June 5. "That was a great tournament. I love playing in San Diego close to home," Failla said. "It was a really good opportunity to get a lot of matches in." Failla teamed with Kaitlyn Christian of

Rancho Cucamonga for doubles play. "It was great to play with her," Failla said. Christian is a USC graduate. "I've known her from tournaments and we play a lot of the same events," Failla said. "I asked her to play and she said yes. We played really well together." A 6-2, 6-0 quarterfinals victory was followed by a 6-1, 6-1 win in the semifinals. Failla and Christian then took a 6-2, 6-2 triumph in the championship match against Alexa Corcoleotes and Salma Ewing. Ewing would also be Failla's singles final opponent. A 6-1, 7-5 quarterfinals victory over Maya Smith advanced Failla to the semifinal against Michalle Okhremchuk, who retired from the match while trailing 3-1 in the second set after Failla had taken a 6-1 win in the first set. The final between Failla and Ewing ended as a 6-0, 6-2 match in Failla's favor. Failla thus won two gold balls at the San Diego tournament: one for the singles championship and one for the doubles title. "I think it was really good for me to win both of those tournaments after the college season," she said. "That gave me a lot of confidence and really helped in the pro tournaments I went on to play after that." Failla, the daughter of Katrina and Greg Failla, didn't immediately follow the Morley Field tournament with the professional competitions. She joined her family for a

FROM CAMPS, A16 Halfaker. The beginning camp allows those with no or little previous experience to learn the basics of volleyball. “If you’ve never touched a ball in your life, this is the place to be,” Halfaker said. The high school camp will feature guest coach Shawn Back, who coached at Western State College in Colorado, which is in Division II of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Beck, who now lives in San Diego County, became the coach who gave the Mountaineers their most wins. Ramona’s girls varsity players will be tutoring students at the youth camps while the Bulldog boys will work with the boys camp. The girls high school camp is only for three days because tryouts for the high school team begin Aug. 4. Girls seeking tryout information before the camp may visit rhsgirlsvolleyball.com. More information about the camps is available from Halfaker at conniehalfaker@cox.net. This is the 16th year the high school will hold the volleyball camps, but it is the first time a middle school prep camp will be part of the instruction. “Kids seem to be real eager for more up the hill,” Halfaker said. A participant may attend both the youth camp and the prep camp two weeks later.

vacation in Vail, Colo. Failla's parents and Lee Merry are her coaches. The National Collegiate Athletic Association allows college tennis players to accept up to $10,000 per school year from professional tournaments. The athletes are responsible for their own expenses at those tournaments. The June 13-19 Encore FX Victoria International tournament had total prize money of $10,000 including $980 for the runner-up. "That was one of the best tournaments I ever had," Failla said. The tournament in Victoria, British Columbia, was played on an indoor court at the Panorama Recreation Center. "That was a great experience," Failla said. Failla was seeded eighth in the Encore FX Victoria International tournament. She began play with a 5-7, 6-0, 7-5 victory over Bess Waldram and a 7-5, 6-4 triumph against Charlotte Petrick. Failla defeated quarterfinals opponent Ines Karmen in 6-1 and 6-2 sets. Top-seeded Alexa Graham was Failla's semifinal opponent. The first set was tied at six games apiece, triggering a tiebreaker to seven points with a winning margin of at least two points. Failla took a 9-7 victory in the tiebreaking game to win the first set. Graham countered with a 6-4 win in the second set. Failla advanced to the final with a 6-2 triumph in the third set. Failla then faced Katharine Fahey in the championship match. Fahey won 6-2 and 6-1 sets for the title.

"It's tough because I had a really good tournament," Failla said. Fahey, who plays for the University of Michigan, is ranked among the top 30 players in the NCAA. "I was happy with how I did," Failla said. Failla then traveled to El Paso, Texas, for the June 27 through July 3 Hunt Communities 2016 Women's Pro Tennis Classic. She faced top-seeded Kristie Ahn in the first round and lost the 5-7, 6-2, 6-3 match. Before Failla could face a top seed in her third consecutive tournament she had to qualify for the July 11-17 National Bank Challenger tournament in Winnipeg. Failla's fifth seed in the qualifying portion gave her a first-round bye, and her 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 victory over Lorraine Guillermo gave Failla one of the eight qualifiers' berths in the main tournament. The top seed in the National Bank Challenger tournament was Israeli player Julia Glushko, who was ranked 131st in the world. Failla once again had a three-set match against the tournament top seed. Failla began the first round by winning the 6-3 first set while Glushko took a 6-3 victory in the second set. Failla advanced to the second round with a 6-4 triumph in the third set. "I played the best match I've ever played," Failla said. Francesca Di Lorenzo, who eventually won the tournament, eliminated Failla in the second-round match with a 6-2, 6-1 score.

PREP FOOTBALL

Battle on the Mountain attracts 16 teams Provides experience for younger players BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's football program hosts an annual Battle on the Mountain tournament for junior varsity and freshman teams that this summer attracted 16 teams. "Tournament was a success," said head football coach Damon Baldwin. The 16-team total is an increase from 10 in 2015 and six when the Battle on the Mountain began in 2014. This year's tournament consisted of 10 junior varsity teams that played on Ramona High School fields and six freshman teams that utilized Olive Peirce Middle School fields. "There was a big demand for the lower levels," Baldwin said. "We're

probably going to double it next year." Teams came from three counties: Chaparral High School in Temecula, Imperial High School in Imperial County, and North County, East County and South Bay teams in San Diego County. "We've got teams from all over," Baldwin said. "It's growing and becoming a big deal." Imperial High School won the freshman portion of the tournament. San Marcos was the junior varsity champion. Ramona had teams at both levels. Even though they didn’t win the championship, the Ramona teams played well, Baldwin said. Preparing the younger players for the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) season rather than winning the tournament was the emphasis, he said. "It's just all about learning our system and getting reps," he said. "Winning's great,

but it's not the objective." Ramona's freshman and JV football teams open their seasons Aug. 27 at home against St. Augustine. The Bulldog varsity has an Aug. 26 game against St. Augustine at Mesa College. Training camp for Ramona's football players begins Aug. 3. "It's quite a big jump from Pop Warner," Baldwin said of high school football. The Battle on the Mountain tournament utilizes seven-on-seven games on a 50-yard field. The games are in a one-hand

touch format and are 35 minutes long. The tournament consists of pool play followed by bracket competition, so each team has five or six games depending on how well they fare in bracket play. CIF officials enforce the game rules for the tournament while Ramona's varsity players control the clocks on each field. Ramona wide receivers coach Mike Ernst handled the operations the day of the game to allow Baldwin to review the players.

FROM POT, A1 with him last month but did not say why. Piva said he was surprised when Brown brought up the issues of medical marijuana collectives, as well as development of Cumming Ranch – topics that Piva said had he known, he never would have met one-on-one. After informing the planning group, Piva said members decided Brown could meet with the subcommittee. A meeting had not been scheduled before this issue went to press. Earlier this year the planning group appealed to the county, concerned that Ramona would become a magnet for medical marijuana as several applicants had found industrial-zoned sites in the community that complied with the county’s medical marijuana ordinance. At the recommendation of county Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who represents Ramona in District 2, the Board of Supervisors adopted a temporary 45-day moratorium on medical marijuana collectives, instructing staff to look into modifying the ordinance and considering a ban. On April 27, supervisors extended the moratorium to 10 months and 15 days to give staff more time. At that time operating certificates were pending for dispensaries at 618 Pine St. and 1210 Olive St. A building application had been submitted for 2471 Montecito Road, and a group had been eyeing property at 2338 Montecito Road for medical marijuana cultivation. Brown said his clients had followed the process set up by county ordinance. “It’s a little frustrating to my guys because they followed the rules,” he said. Brown said he understands one concern is people going to dispensaries and driving the roads under the influence of marijuana, but he would like to provide facts. He also suggested there could be a compromise. “We have potential ideas about reducing the number of dispensaries,” he said. In November California voters will decide whether to legalize recreational marijuana under Proposition 64, known as the California Marijuana Legalization Initiative, which would also impose a state excise tax on retail sales of marijuana equal to 15 percent of sales price, and state cultivation taxes on marijuana of $9.25 per ounce of flowers and $2.75 per ounce of leaves. It exempts medical marijuana from some taxation. Jacob, who supports a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries in the unincorporated areas, noting there are about 14 dispensaries in the City of San Diego, said the state initiative will not have any effect on the moratorium. In other matters, Brown said he had been contacted by investors who worked with the late Gene Driscoll on Cumming Ranch, a proposed development of 125 residential lots and 457 acres of biological open space on 683 acres, approximately one-quarter of a mile northwest of the state Route 67 and Highland Valley Road intersection. The project was approved by supervisors in January 2013. Driscoll died last July. Brown said the investors are interested in moving the project forward.

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 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 sa le date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www. qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-13-3500607940-AL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

FROM PETS, A9 and microchipped. Rabbits will be altered and microchipped at no cost to the adopter. During last year’s event, about a third of the available pets at the county’s shelters found new homes: 288 of 743. The number of adoptions more than tripled for a normal Saturday. “If you think a pet makes a house a home, then this is a great opportunity to adopt an animal,” said County Animal Services Director Dawn Danielson. “These animals need forever homes and you’ll get unconditional love, fun and companionship in return.” About 450 pets are available at County Animal Services’ three animal care centers in Bonita, central San Diego and Carlsbad. Residents can keep an eye on which animals might be available by checking the adoptions webpage, sddac.com. All kittens and cats are half off through the month of July. The free adoption fee offer will be in effect at the county animal shelters from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. You can speed up the process by going online for the adoption application, downloading it and filling it out at home. Renters should also bring a copy of the lease to show it’s OK to have a pet at their home. For more information about County Animal Services, visit or call (619) 767-2675.

Medicare News BY CATE KORTZEBORN

Let Medicare help you stop smoking

t’s never too late to quit smoking. While it's best to stop as early as possible, kicking the smoking habit at any age will enhance the length and quality of your life. As soon as you stop, your body begins to repair the damage caused by smoking. You'll also save money and you won’t have to run outside your home or office every time the urge to light up hits you! Medicare now covers counseling sessions to help you stop smoking, even if you haven't been diagnosed with an illness caused by tobacco use. You pay nothing for smoking cessation counseling, as long as you get it from a doctor or other qualified provider who accepts Medicare reimbursement. Many state Medicaid programs cover smoking cessation services as well. Smoking tobacco can cause many diseases,

including heart disease, respiratory diseases, and lung cancer — the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. More than 56 million Americans still smoke tobacco, but quitting can reduce your risk of getting these diseases. So if you have Medicare or Medicaid, make a note to talk with your doctor about quitting. Medicare covers eight face-to-face smoking cessation counseling sessions during a 12-month period. What happens in these sessions? Your doctor may follow the "5 A’s" approach: ask patients about their smoking habits; advise them to quit; assess their willingness to quit; assist their attempts to quit; and arrange follow-up. To help you get off and stay off tobacco, your physician may prescribe one of seven anti-smoking drugs currently approved by

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Medicare often covers such medications under its Part D prescription drug program. What are the health benefits of not smoking? Here’s what you'll experience, according to the American Lung Association: 20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate drops to a normal level. 12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. 2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your risk of having a heart attack begins to drop. Your lung function begins to improve. 1 to 9 months after quitting: Your coughing and shortness of breath decrease. 1 year after quitting: Your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's. 5 to 15 years after quitting: Your risk of having a stroke is reduced to that of a nonsmoker's. Your risk of getting cancer of the mouth, throat, or esophagus is half that of a smoker's. 10 years after quitting: Your risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a smoker's. Your risk of getting bladder cancer is half that of a smoker's.

Your risk of getting cervical cancer or cancer of the larynx, kidney, or pancreas decreases. 15 years after quitting: Your risk of coronary heart disease is the same as that of a nonsmoker. I also want to mention that Medicare covers screening for lung cancer with Low Dose Computed Tomography. To qualify, you must: • Be age 55-77; • Be either a current smoker or have quit smoking within the last 15 years; • Have a tobacco smoking history of at least 30 “pack years” (an average of one pack a day for 30 years); • Not have any signs or symptoms of lung cancer; • Get a written order from your physician or qualified non-physician practitioner. You pay nothing for this screening if your doctor or other qualified provider accepts Medicare reimbursement. For more information on kicking the habit, visit www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causesprevention/risk/tobacco/help-quittingfact-sheet. Cate Kortzeborn is Medicare’s acting regional administrator for California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Pacific Territories. For Medicare questions, call 1-800-633-4227.

(StatePoint) When planning your summer party, thinking beyond the traditional barbecue will make your gathering even more special for your guests. While serving hamburgers and hot dogs are a safe go-to for summer parties, why not infuse some style by planning an elegant French-themed soiree or chic garden party for your guests to enjoy? From décor to menu, a French soiree or garden party should have a luxurious feel. Be thoughtful when creating atmosphere by adding fresh flowers, linen napkins and colorful crockery. Tailor the menu to match the party’s appearance for an even more memorable experience. Kick off your party with finger food appetizers to greet your guests upon arrival. These starters should be light and summer-friendly with an elegant presentation. A delicious starter is sliced toasted baguettes topped with tuna and Boursin cheese and garnished with chives, capers and a sprinkle of pepper. A cold salad is a winning choice for this time of the year. A simple, yet classic French choice is Salade Niçoise. Another festive option is oysters on the half shell. A refreshing meal would be a mesclun, avocado and sea scallop salad. The dish contains slices of avocado, chopped mesclun, onion and sprigs of mint leaves with lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Delicately sear sea scallops and serve over the salad for a delicious, yet light meal. With the menu set, don’t forget about the wine. Ramona Valley offers many options.
