County ponders outsourcing animal services Residents complain of short notice of meeting BY KAREN BRAINARD The first question for officials conducting last Wednesday’s public input meeting on outsourcing county animal services was why the meeting was announced just two days before it was held at Ramona Library. “So many animals here. Why weren’t we given more notice?” asked Kay Minnoch. It was a question repeated throughout the 1-1/2 hour meeting among the approximately 40 people attending, but no one in charge gave a definitive explanation. John Gavares, the consultant facilitating the meeting, said they wanted to give more notice. “It’s unfortunate that the amount of time provided wasn’t their intent and there were glitches that happened,” he said. “Who’s responsibility was that?” someone asked. Others questioned if another meeting could be scheduled in Ramona. Gavares, who is with The Centre for Organization Effectiveness in San Diego, suggested they write that on the notecards provided and if enough people do, another meeting might be scheduled.

Possibility of big box Suspect in Mother’s Day fatality hires new attorney store draws opposition BY NEAL PUTNAM The preliminary hearing for a Ramona man accused of causing the death of a pregnant woman while allegedly driving while drunk has been re-scheduled for Sept. 27. Andrew Dorian Milonis, 44, recently retained a private attorney, Ward Clay, and the public defender was relieved from the case. Jessica Nicole Foderingham, 29, of San Diego, was 8 months pregnant when she and her unborn baby were killed on Mother’s Day on San Vicente Road. Milonis is charged with two counts of murder, two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, hit and run
with death, drunk driving with injury, and hit and run with property damage. Clay asked El Cajon Superior Court Judge Daniel Goldstein to lower Milonis’ $3 million bail, saying it was too high. He asked for “reasonable bail,” suggesting it could be up to $1 million. Deputy District Attorney Laura Evans opposed the bail reduction and Goldstein kept the bail at $3 million. The preliminary hearing had been scheduled for July 27, but not all the reports have been received by both attorneys. Jessica Foderingham’s Dodge Dart was SEE FATALITY, A8
BY KAREN BRAINARD Plans for the Hagey property behind Stater Bros. shopping center were not presented at Monday night's Ramona Village Design Group meeting, but the nearly 20 residents attending had plenty of questions and comments about the potential of a big box store near Ramona and H streets.

Among friends helping Pete Bakarich, on table, celebrate his 70th birthday are Carlene Butler, Chris Anderson, Melanie Piva, Stephanie Norvell, Vesna Curry, Jim Piva, Pat Curry, and Eb Hogervorst. resident, said he saw an opportunity to purchase One Stop from its previous owner, John Souza. His first day as owner/president was April 17. Brown, a contractor who remodeled some of Souza’s homes, plans to open a second One Stop on the vacant lot in the Village Center in San Diego Country Estates — and he’s thinking of opening a third in Julian. A SPECIAL DAY—Megan and Garrett Barton’s special day is July 14. They met at the Ramona Junior Fairgrounds a few years ago on July 14. A member of Ramona Paisanos 4-H Club, she was Megan Storton then and attended Ramona High
School. A Poway FFA member, Garrett attended Poway High School. One year later — on July 14 — they had their first date. This July 14 they exchanged wedding vows. They chose the Ramona Outdoor Community Center Pavilion next to the Ramona Junior Fairgrounds for their wedding. The next evening, they stood in front of a crowd of live auction bidders and each took a pie in the face from Debbie Huff, last year’s pie-in-the-face recipient. Debbie and her husband, Bert, paid $450 for Debbie to have the privilege. It was both couples’ way of supporting the Ramona Junior Fair that starts Saturday and continues through
Sunday, Aug. 6. There aren’t many communities that can raise $19,923 in less than seven hours for a junior fair, but that’s how it’s done in Ramona. The Bartons live in Wyoming, where they attend the University of Wyoming. Megan majors in agricultural education. Garrett’s major is animal science. 70 YEARS STRONG—Pete Bakarich, a 35-year Ramona resident, celebrated his 70th birthday last week. The celebration started in Pamo Valley Winery Tasting Room. When friends suggested shifting to the outdoor patio at D’Carlos restaurant for “one more drink,” Bakarich initially said no, he planned to have dinner with his wife, Donna, and didn’t want to have too much to drink — but they insisted. Lucky for him they did. That’s where Donna was — with more friends waiting to give him what he admitted was “a big surprise” party. Bakarich said he never thought he’d make it to 70 years old, but he did and he’s in good health. He stays active in the community. He’s the mastermind behind the all-you-can-eat rib fest held the past 12 years to benefit Ramona Senior Center, he has a reputation for making some of the best barbecue sauce in town, and he served as senior center board president for four years and is its current past president. In addition, he walks 12.8 miles a day. It’s 3.2 miles from his home to the senior center. He makes the round trip twice a day. How did he end up on D’Carlos’ patio table? “Stephanie (Norvell, one of the friends at the party) said, ‘Pete, get up here.’ I said, ‘Yes, ma’am.’”

BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON WORK IN PROGRESS—An urban hiking trail through downtown Ramona sounds like a great idea to the Ramona Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee. New York City, Seattle, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and other well-known locales have them. Why not Ramona? Crediting chamber past president and attorney Robert Krysak with introducing the idea, chamber director Stacy Bart said she, Krysak, and chamber vice president and EDC chair Paul Zawilenski walked the area recently and started mapping a short, a medium, and a long — or full — trail. The full hike will be about two-and-a-half miles. The chamber will publish a map of the urban trail, highlighting places such as the museum, town hall, murals, and other points of interest Ramona offers. As people “hike” the trail, they’ll naturally be welcome to stop in the shops and businesses along the route. Residents and visitors will find the urban hike pleasant, since walking downtown “is way easier” than some of Ramona’s more rural and sometimes strenuous trails, said Bart. Once the map is completed, copies will be in the chamber office and also posted outside the chamber office at 960 Main St. This is a work in progress, so check with the chamber for updates — and watch for the completed product. NEW LOGO, NEW OWNER—One Stop Equipment Rental & Sales at 254 Pine St./Highway 78 has a new owner and a new logo, and it soon will have a second location. Kevin D. Brown, a 15-year Ramona

COMMENTARY
Losing animal services would affect us all BY KATIE REID n case anyone hasn’t heard about it, the County of San Diego is planning to take an action that will affect every animal owner in this community. Which means, it will affect all of us. The county is considering closing its Department of Animal Services, laying off hundreds of employees, and outsourcing services to a third party provider (the San Diego Humane Society). The county has already terminated six animal services contracts with incorporated cities in the county — including the City of San Diego — effective next June. However, despite what has been reported in the San Diego Union-Tribune, the county has not yet reached a decision about who will provide animal services in the unincorporated area of San Diego County. Which is us. On Wednesday, July 19, the county held a meeting in Ramona, one of three community meetings planned for the entire unincorporated area, to “answer questions and gather input about the proposed transition.” Didn’t hear about it? That’s because the county gave two days’ notice for this meeting. (The Sentinel posted the information prominently on its webpage. Thank you!). There was a decent turnout of angry people at Wednesday’s meeting — but if the county had given even just a week’s notice, there would have been many more attendees. We were told it was due to a "screw up" and it would be “impossible” to reschedule the meeting. To me that just means somebody goofed and now you, Ramona, are screwed. There are two more meetings — Thursday, July 27, from 6-7:30 p.m. in Fallbrook (good luck driving to Fallbrook at that hour!); and Thursday, Aug. 17, 6-7:30 p.m. in the Bonita library. And, there’s always our supervisor, Dianne Jacob — 619-531-5522. Her staff has told me that she is not allowed to be involved in this outsourcing process — but she has a history of being responsive to Ramona and her staff is very nice so I would not hesitate to call her. Eliminating the Department of Animal Services may save taxpayer dollars, but do you really think any of those dollars are going to make it back into your pocket? If this department is eliminated, it is gone forever — in favor of a private nonprofit known for low pay and high turnover; which is under absolutely no obligation to comply with the state Public Records Act, open-meetings laws or even to speak to any reporter (or citizen). So, goodbye accountability. The result: A serious decline in the quality of animal services and emergency services available to our community — and an end to the county’s relationship with the myriad rescue groups in this community. Brave new world indeed. Katie Reid is a Ramona resident.

COMMENTARY
Give us proper notice, please BY KAY MINNOCH Disappointed hardly describes my reaction to the meeting with Animal Services held here in Ramona, Wednesday evening at the library. Insulted, angered, slapped in the face — these are better descriptions. 1. We were “invited” under the pretense we would be giving our input on a very serious subject, the county's Animal Services plan to outsource. But, out of the gate we were told no Q&A. They requested us not to speak out. We were informed almost immediately that the “subject of funding” would not be addressed. 2. In lieu of our individual concerns we were handed three page stapled questionnaires. They set the categories and we were given possible responses of “needs improvement,” etc. Not our questions necessarily, not our concerns. For our own individual comments, concerns and ideas we were given 4-by-7 pink cards. 3. There was a PowerPoint presentation — no comments, no questions. My point here is that they obviously had a lot of time to prepare for this meeting. Unfortunately they had a “glitch”" as they called it and they DID NOT notify our community of this meeting until one to two days prior. 4. We were “herded” in groups to four areas to
discuss and write on a poster-sized paper possible answers or suggestions referring to subjects “they” had placed on separate sheets of paper hung above. Without the subject and suggestions both being on the same paper, how do they make sense later? My other point is that it was presented in such a way as to prevent input. Frankly I came away feeling that I had been deceived. This was lying by omission. I asked several times that the meeting be rescheduled with proper notice so that our whole community could be involved and decide for themselves if we were being given proper notice — honest information — the respect that we as a community deserve. I was taken aside at one point by an Animal Services person and advised I was disrupting the meeting. Ramona is a very special place, with honest hardworking, animal loving citizens. We ask for simplicity, we ask for TRUTH. Next time Animal Services comes to Ramona, they can leave their PowerPoint presentation and printed materials in their cars. All we ask for is Integrity and Truth and, please, give us proper notice. Word on the street is that Animal Control employees have already been given notice? Kay Minnoch is a Ramona resident.
OUR READERS WRITE Stellar support aids schoolchildren There are many generous people in Ramona, giving their time and money freely, but Shelly Heimer of H5 Financial stands out above them all. This year with the help of her employees and family, Shelly put together a successful golf tournament, raising $7,000 for the FORUS nonprofit. This brings her support for 2017 to $8,800. Shelly consistently provides funding for the Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS) so that we can address health and safety issues. The current FORUS project is to replace old and broken drinking fountains with new units that the kids want to drink from, and, where applicable, we
include bottle fillers. The goal is for our school children to be well hydrated, which can help them be calmer and healthier. Thank you, Shelly Heimer, for your stellar support for FORUS! Dave Patterson Ramona

Schenk receives 6 years in prison for fatal DUI crash BY NEAL PUTNAM A Ramona man who pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated in the 2016 death of Racheal Guarneros-Callahan was sentenced Friday to six years in state prison. A number of speakers addressed El Cajon Superior Court Judge John Thompson before he imposed sentence for Paul Alan Schenk, 51. Sandra Khoury, a sister of Guarneros-Callahan, 21, said afterward that the sentencing "means closure." "It's a sense of peace that we don't have to come back here every month and relive
everything," said Khoury. "She had a big heart, a big smile, big brown eyes, and she would just do anything for anyone at the drop of a hat. She was selfless. She's gonna be missed." Guarneros-Callahan was on her way home from work in a 2012 Nissan Altima when Schenk's truck crossed the solid double yellow lines, hitting her vehicle head-on on Vista Ramona Road and Woods Hill Lane around 4:30 p.m. She died on impact. Schenk also pleaded guilty to two counts of child endangerment as his children were in his Ford F-250 truck on Sept. 12, 2016. His
4-year-old son was not properly restrained in a car seat and was ejected through the rear window of the pick-up with serious injuries. He landed in the cab area and a tool box fell on him. Schenk's 5-year-old daughter was not properly restrained in a booster seat that was designed for a child her age. She struck the dashboard and both children went to a hospital, as did Schenk, who suffered fractured vertebrae. Amanda Fitzgibbons, a witness at the scene, also spoke at the sentencing, saying he was in the truck and did not see what his children

went through. Thompson gave Schenk credit for already serving 330 days in jail after he was arrested Oct. 7 following his release from a hospital. He was fined $9,000. Schenk is a veteran. A restitution hearing may be held later to determine if he should have to pay funeral and burial expenses for Guarneros-Callahan, who had a memorial service on Sept. 16 at Mountain View Community Church in Ramona. Several family members said they wanted to bring awareness of the danger of drinking and driving so other deaths can be prevented.

RMWD expands sewer area for 417-unit project Annexation of Montecito Ranch, a proposed 417-single-family residential subdivision, into the Santa Maria Sewer Service Area was approved by Ramona Municipal Water District directors on July 11. Last September the directors applied to the Local Agency Formation Commission for a sewer service boundary expansion to include the future development. Montecito Ranch, approved by county supervisors in 2010, will be a 935.2-acre development with about 571 acres of biological open space, south of state Route 78, west of Ash Street, and north of Montecito Way, Summer Glen and Cedar Street. Directors asked if there is enough capacity at the sewer plant, which has a maximum capacity of 1 million gallons per day. General Manager David Barnum said Santa Maria has enough available capacity for the 417 homes and for other projects but at some point will have to be expanded. Commission OKs senior, condo projects The county Planning Commission approved a
major use permit for a senior care facility and the tentative map for a condominium complex, both in Ramona, at its July 14 hearing. Ramona Senior Gardens, to be located at 1236-40 H Street, will accommodate 68 patients by expanding an existing building from 8,041 square feet to 15,527 square feet and retaining four smaller existing detached buildings. Access will be provided by two driveways connecting to H Street. The site is zoned Variable Family Residential (RV), which allows for group care with the approval of a major use permit. The site previously served as a facility for the mentally disabled and for drug rehabilitation and treatment. Creekside at Village Walk will be a 40-unit detached condominium complex on 5.5 acres of vacant property northwest of the intersection of Robertson and Pala streets. Access to the complex will be from Robertson Street. Among amenities planned in the northwest portion of the property are a pool, spa, basketball and volleyball courts, picnic tables, and walking trails. —Karen Brainard
Dresses from Ramona can change lives in Africa BY HEATHER MCGHEE Forty-five compassionate and talented people attended a sewing event at Sew Easy Studio in Ramona and at the end of the day had 75 dresses for African orphans. Organizer AnnaMarie Nachazel-Spenner said she was thrilled by the event’s attendance on July 15, and she fought back tears as she thanked everyone for coming. Men and women of all sewing skill levels gathered and chose fabric, thread, ribbons, and more to make beautiful little dresses, and Marilynn Hersey and Sharon Meegan from Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church donated 21 dresses purchased for the girls. David Lloyd, who had traveled as a missionary to Kenya, arrived with his wife, Gerry Ann, and five finished dresses. He explained the plight of orphaned girls in Africa.
“The ratio of children to adults there is alarming, and the clothes are threadbare,” he said. “They are being held together by more threads in some cases.” He was quick to add that real heroes are found in Doctors Without Borders. Beverly Helms, the grandmother of a girl who works for a charity in Africa, came with the newest edition of “Sew News,” which featured the African Dress Initiative. Huldah Momanyi-Hiltsley of Ramona came and sewed a dress for the first time. She is of Kenyan descent and is the founder of SaniNaps, a group that makes disposable sanitary napkins for African girls so they can stay in school. More stories were shared during the day. Sewing and chatter and laughter and love filled the big sewing studio, and shop owner Barbara Jean Smith was joined by her husband Chris and daughters Lucy and Katelyn, who helped with the snacks.

The event will be in the Ramona Outdoor Community Center Pavilion, 421 Aqua Lane, from noon to 5 p.m. To celebrate the harvest of grapes throughout the Ramona Valley, the fun-filled family event will offer attendees the opportunity to squish grapes between their toes in grape-stomping challenges, with prizes awarded to the best stompers. Attendees can also taste award-winning wine from local wineries and check out food, arts and crafts, and children events. Ramona Rotary Club, Ramona Senior Center, and Ramona Valley Vineyard Association will present the event. Spots for booth rentals and sponsors are available.
Proceeds of the event will be split among the three presenting organizations and will benefit education and support services these organizations provide, such as: senior nutrition program, delivering 3,000 to 5,000 senior meals each month; college scholarships; Ramona Boys & Girls Club; and education and promotion of the growing local wine region. Admission tickets may be purchased at the gate on the day of the event or pre-purchased on the web at ramonagrapestomp.com beginning Aug. 1. For more information, contact info@ramonagrapestomp.com.

Jim Robinson: Ardent junior fair, 4-H supporter BY KAREN BRAINARD im Robinson laughs when he remembers the caption years ago under the Ramona Sentinel’s front page photo of his son Wayne with his reserve grand champion pig at the Ramona Junior Fair Livestock Auction. It was the first time for Wayne to show a pig. The highest bidder for Wayne’s champion sow was the Sentinel publisher, but the 9-year-old was upset because he didn't want the pig to go to the butcher. So, Robinson chuckled, under the photo of his son and the publisher was the caption: "Mister, what are you going to do with my pig?" The publisher offered to give the pig back to Wayne as a breeder and said he would take a pig from the first litter, said Robinson. "But he moved before that happened," Robinson said. "So that's how I got into the pig breeding business." That was the Robinson family's foray into 4-H. Robinson said they were hooked — he, Wayne, son Andy, and wife Callie. At 75 years old, Robinson is still an ardent supporter of the junior fair and a regular at the pie auction. He served on the junior fair board for approximately 14 years, the first time for about 8 years. Remembering how that came about, he said: "And I got to thinking, you know, if we're in this thing and doing all this work...I might as well get on the board so I can have some say and see what I can do there."

Jim Robinson stands in the Ramona Junior Fair arena where his family's involvement and support of the youth agricultural program started 35 years ago. A plumber by trade, Robinson's professional skills came in handy while serving as the board's representative on the former Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to the Ramona water district. When he saw the plans for the first restrooms to be built on the junior fairgrounds, his response was, "This is wrong." Pointing out the problems, he had the restrooms redesigned, supervised the job, and laid plumbing.
Robinson was one of the founders of the Ramona Parks and Recreation Association (RPRA), which oversees Wellfied Park that is owned by the Ramona water district. While working to get nonprofit status for RPRA, Robinson said he looked at the parks fund in the water district budget and discovered a line item discrepancy. That led to his election as the board’s Division 4 director. After he was elected, Robinson said there S T A T E

were questions whether he had a conflict of interest by also being on the parks and fair boards. The state Fair Political Practices Commission determined there was no conflict. “But, I said, ‘no, if that’s the perception people are getting…then I resign from the fair board, and I did.” He also resigned from parks and served on the water board for 16 years. He then served another six years on the fair board. Born in Houston, Texas, with a twin sister, Robinson was just 3 years old when his family moved to San Diego. He grew up in Sunnyside, east of Chula Vista, and followed in the family plumbing trade. Robinson said he tells people, "I've plumbed everything from your toilet to a nuclear power plant." That includes destroyers and the first ship designed for servicewomen. From 1979 to ‘82, he worked at the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant but said he found it frustrating because the work pace was slow. He and Callie, who also hailed from Sunnyside, moved to Ramona 44 years ago. “Me and my brother (Mike) married sisters,” said Robinson. This month he and Callie mark their 52nd wedding anniversary. Their sons are grown now and they have three grandchildren, the youngest a 15-year-old in Yuma, Ariz., who is breaking family tradition by showing a steer this year in 4-H instead of a pig.

Tea’d forum topic: ‘The Roots of Liberty’ “The Roots of Liberty: the Genealogy of Our Founding Documents” is the topic of the Ramona Tea’d forum in Ramona Mainstage, 626 Main St., on Saturday. KrisAnne Hall, author of “Not a Living Breathing Document: Reclaiming Our Constitution,” will be the guest speaker. The program, open to the public, will start at noon. Doors open at 11 a.m. Admission is free. “KrisAnne is an incredibly passionate speaker, a true Patrick Henry of our time,” said the forum announcement, describing
Hall as “a steadfast warrior in the tea party battle.” A Constitutional educator, she received the Freedom Fighter Award from Americans for Prosperity, a Certificate of Achievement from the Sons of the Revolution for her defense of liberty, and the Congressman James Blair Award for defending the Constitution. A disabled Army veteran, Hall is an attorney, former prosecutor, historian, radio talk show host, and a Russian linguist. For more information, see www.ramonatead.com.
Search warrant leads to seven arrests Seven adults – five men and two women – were arrested at 418 F St. around 4 a.m. Friday, July 21, after the Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail (SED/SWAT) and deputies with the Sheriff’s Ramona Crime Suppression Team served a search warrant. Those arrested were: Jenny Loy, 31; Jose Solis, 30; Donna Stankus, 55; Dennis Stankus, 58; Jay Hosfield, 68; Patrick Fay-Russell, 25; and Paul Vernon Moniot, 54, reported the sheriff’s department. They face numerous charges including being under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, and felon in possession of a firearm, said sheriff’s Sgt. Terry Phillips. In addition to three firearms, controlled substances, and drug paraphernalia, the deputies recovered suspected stolen property, according to the report.
The search warrant was the result of numerous neighborhood complaints and confirmation that narcotics were being sold out of the residence, said Lt. Jerry Hartman of the Ramona station. The sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail served the warrant because of the number of people believed to be living in the house, the size of the property, and the amount of external buildings and sheds. “Sheriff’s SED deployed several distraction devices prior to entering the residence which accounted for the neighborhood concern that explosions or shots were being fired,” Hartman said in an email. It is unclear if the home’s primary resident, who is in the hospital, is aware of all the people living there, said Hartman. Officers found nine adults living in the house.

hree events held back-to-back raised $19,923.05 for Ramona Junior Fair. Most of that — $17,400 — came from the annual Pie Auction. Proceeds from the barbecue dinner were $1,050; after-auction barbecue food sales, $850; pie in the face, $450; “keep change” donations from the barbecue, $142; and Truck & Tractor Show people’s choice contributions, $31.05. This year’s total is $140 more than the $19,783 raised at last year’s junior fair fundraising events. The nearly 7-hour event held at the junior fairgrounds on July 15 started with the Truck & Tractor Show, which overlapped with the deep pit barbecue dinner and the live auction of homemade pies, cakes, cookies, muffins, brownies, cream puffs, barbecue rubs, lemon bars, turnovers, and macaroons. Four-H and FFA members toured the crowd holding each item as auctioneer Brett Huff pitched for the highest bids. The top donation of $1,500 came from John Scott Roofing for the Famous Toth Chocolate Chip Cookies. Newlyweds Megan and Garrett Barton, both previous junior fair participants, were event coordinator Crissy Tobiason’s pick to receive a pie in the face. Bert and Debbie Huff paid $450 for Debbie, last year’s pie-in-the-face recipient, to plant one cream pie on each face. Longtime junior fair supporter Jim Robinson, a regular at the annual fundraiser, commented at the start of the pie auction that, if the first item sold for more than $100, it was going to be a good auction. The first item sold for $210. For Truck & Tractor Show results, see page 14. Pie auction results listing the buyer, the item, and the highest bid in the order presented: • Specialty Meats, Crissy’s Sweet Caramel Apple Pie, $210 • ACME Drilling, Cherry Cranberry Pie, $130 • Lee Pedlow, Chocolate Brownies, $250 • Yogurt Barn, Choco Chip Cookies Grilled on a BBQ, $160

Intersection project nears completion After months of traveling through construction at the state Route 67 and Highland Valley/Dye roads intersection, the additional through lanes and turning lanes have been open to traffic. The project that began last June is expected to be completed by the end of August, according to Caltrans, and nighttime closures will be scheduled for remaining work. Among the remaining work is the installation of drainage improvements that cannot be completed until a conflicting Ramona Municipal Water District waterline is relocated, said Caltrans Public Information Officer Cathryne Bruce-Johnson. The waterline is located in the same vicinity where the drainage improvement is needed and is at a depth where it will intersect the new drainage structure, she said. Caltrans and RMWD agreed that the
waterline can be lowered to allow the drainage improvement, said Bruce-Johnson. “The cost of utility relocation is part of the Caltrans project and is covered by project funding,” she said in an email. Another year is included in the project timeframe for landscaping/maintenance of the bioswale that is at the northwest corner at SR-67 and Highland Valley Road. Some residents have commented about the chainlink fence that was recently installed around the bioswale. A Caltrans spokesperson said the fence runs along the state right of way boundary line at Highland Valley Road and will protect the bioswale. The fence type is the design standard and is intended to be a permanent boundary demarcation, said the state transportation agency.

and Herculean efforts/expenses by the public and corporations, pollution has been greatly reduced. Hallelujah. Now it appears the end result of all that pollution control has resulted in a new expert-induced problem: Global Warming. All seriousness aside, I believe the solution to this new “we are all gonna die” issue is to go back to the ’70s, start driving gas-guzzling muscle cars, fire up those mothballed coal-fired smoke stacks, and re-pollute the air, thereby helping the planet to cool down again.

Connor Nelson shows his chicken meat pen at the San Diego County Fair.
10-year-old’s debut at county fair nets supreme reserve champion award BY JOE NAIMAN Ten-year-old Connor Nelson made his San Diego County Fair debut this year with three hens initially selected the 4-H reserve grand champion poultry meat pen and then received supreme reserve champion honors. "It was a really good experience, and I learned a lot from it," Connor said. This is Connor's fifth year as a Ramona Stars 4-H member. He has shown at the Ramona Junior Fair in the past. His ascension to the Junior age group made him eligible to show at the 2017
county fair. The Nelson family ordered 25 chickens from Cackle Hatchery in the central Missouri town of Lebanon. The chickens were 2 days old when they arrived in May and 7 weeks old when Connor took three of them to the fair on June 26. The pool of 25 chickens allowed Nelson to show his best three. "They were the most identical," he said. The Cornish cross hens shown at the county fair weighed 5.15, 5.22, and 5.28 pounds. Fair rules require chickens to be at least 3.5

In addition to this being the first time Connor had entries in the county fair, it was the first time he showed a chicken meat pen. He had entered show chickens in past Ramona Junior Fair competitions. Connor also competed in meat chicken showmanship at the county fair. "I learned quite a bit," he said. He learned enough to place first in meat chicken
Connor completed fourth grade at Montessori Children's Elementary this year. His 12-year-old sister, Morgan, is also a member of Ramona Stars 4-H. During the county fair Morgan showed a 109-pound Hampshire lamb named Arabella who was the champion 4-H lightweight lamb and a 34-pound broad-breasted white turkey named Clyde who was the 4-H reserve champion tom.

GRACIE, a 4-year-old Domestic Short Hair mix, is ready for a loving home. She’s playful, active and just a tad bit opinionated. She loves to run around and show her silly side, but isn’t always a fan of being picked up so her new family should do their best to respect her wishes. Gracie’s favorite toys are mice and string, and she would love a new family who can take their time to get to know her and show her all the love she’s been missing. Gracie is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

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 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-15-688243-CL . 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 sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return o f the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

The award, presented at the recent Lincoln Reagan Dinner, recognizes excellence in constituent service and community participation. “It’s an honor to support Senator Anderson’s top priority to make government work for our constituents,” said Hayes. “We are always open to hearing directly from local residents, about their concerns and ideas for improving state government.” The dinner, held June 24 and organized by the Republican Party of San Diego County, drew more than 770 attendees, making it one of the largest Republican dinners outside of Washington, D.C. A native of Lakeside, Hayes graduated from the University of San Diego where he earned two bachelor’s degrees, one in political science and a second in business administration. He joined Anderson’s staff as an intern in March 2014 and was hired as a legislative staff member in January 2015. Anderson was first elected to the State Assembly in 2006 and to the State Senate in 2010.

Ramona’s Trainer BY PETER SAN NICOLAS
‘Not how much you have…’
I
t’s not how much you have, but who you have it with and what you do with what you have. I have been blessed foremost in my marriage, with my family, my fitness, my friends, my faith, and my businesses. I have been gifted by God the most amazing woman as my partner in life and in business. I met Shayna in seventh grade at Olive Peirce Middle School the fall of 1992 and we’ve been best friends ever since. We work together, work out together, spend our free time together, and pretty much want to spend most of our waking hours together. I have been blessed with my children, Mikaela, Blake, and Farrah. I’ve been fortunate to find a church home and family at our local Grace Community Church. Since the age of 11 I’ve been blessed to be a part of Ramona Fitness Center, first as a member, then employee, and now owner for the past almost 17 years! You could say that I have it all. Which really most of us who live in America have — all that we really need. What truthfully matters is not what we have materially or even relationally. What matters is what we do with what we have, and who we have it with. Think about it like this. If your life was placed in a fiery furnace, and all the insignificant things were burned away and what was left was laid bare before you, what would that look like? We can relate, living in Ramona, to a fire burning away all before you. It’s happened
two too many times in the past decade. I want you to think for a moment what this would look like. What would remain if all the material possessions like your home, your cars, your clothes, your shoes, all your material worth were burned away. What if it all went up in smoke? What would be left? I truly hope that it would be an immeasurable amount. Unfortunately our society has programmed us to think that the material world and all it possesses is all that there is and all that matters. For some of us, if we refined our lives by fire, we would be left bankrupt. If you've done this mental exercise and you’re left poor, then we have some work to do. If the opposite is true, then good for you! You may need to evaluate your calendar and your checkbook. Where you spend your time and your money, you will find what you truly value. Of course it’s great to have, but who you have it with and what you do with what you have is far more important. Your relationships, your health, your service to your community, and your impact in the world are things worth spending your time, money, and effort on. Donate some time or money to a good cause like Susan G. Komen, Wounded Warriors, a family in need, or your local church? I challenge you to refine your life with fire this week and start living on purpose! Peter San Nicolas is a Ramona resident.
Rain helps contain Lost fire With the help of Monday morning rain, firefighters had a wildfire that blackened 255 acres of brush near Warner Springs 85 percent contained by Tuesday morning. The brush fire, called the Lost fire because of its proximity to Lost Valley Road, started Saturday afternoon and spread quickly, causing authorities to evacuate the Lost Valley Boy Scout and Indian Flats
campgrounds and to issue an evacuation warning to residents of nearby Chihuahua Valley Saturday evening. A shelter at Olive Peirce Middle School in Ramona was closed when officials lifted the evacuation warning Sunday evening. Cal Fire Capt. Kendal Bortisser said four air tankers and four helicopters assisted firefighters on the ground. Some crews
were flown in to fight the fire rather than hiking to the remote areas, Bortisser said. Crews also used bulldozers to provide access to the fire area. More than 400 firefighters, including from U.S. Forest Service’s Cleveland National Forest, battled the blaze. No structures were threatened, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
SHERIFF’S REPORTS The sheriff’s Ramona station has received numerous theft reports of tools and construction equipment in the past several weeks with stolen property adding up to thousands of dollars. On July 11, a vehicle burglary was reported in the 16300 block of Scarbery Road, with the thief stealing nearly $9,000 worth of construction equipment. The burglary occurred between 5 p.m. July 10 and 12:15 p.m. July 11. Lt. Jerry Hartman at the Ramona station said officers have been investigating the thefts. He reminds residents to lock their vehicles and close their garage doors. Also trending in Ramona and other communities are thefts of license plates, he said. Hartman said the tactic is referred to as “cold plating.” Thieves will steal a license plate from a vehicle and then place it on a stolen vehicle. Anyone who has a license plate stolen should report it to the sheriff’s station. The lieutenant said even if just the front plate is stolen, the vehicle owner needs to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles for new front and back plates because the thieves will likely be using that stolen plate on a vehicle. More violent domestic violence cases have also occurred recently, he noted. On Sunday, July 13, around 4:50 p.m. in the 400 block of 14th Street, a 28-year-old man was arrested for spousal/cohabitant abuse, battery, and assault likely to cause great bodily injury after engaging in an argument with his girlfriend, said Hartman. During the fight, the suspect allegedly tried to choke his 27-year-old girlfriend and then took her to the ground. A 38-year-old man arrived and tried to aid her but the suspect turned on him and while fighting gouged the man’s eye where he had prosthetic eye, said Hartman. The man was transported to a hospital. Among other reports: Sunday, July 23 • Shoplifting $2.99 worth of consumable goods, Country Wine & Spirits, 1300 block Main Street.

Shooting inside home leads to mental evaluation The District Attorney’s Office has declined to press charges against a Ramona man who allegedly fired shotgun rounds inside his house in the 500 block of Amigos Road July 5 and then received mental health treatment, said the sheriff’s Ramona
station. Calls came into the station around 9 p.m. that day from several people who said they heard gunshots in that area. According to the report, at least 50 shots were fired. The man eventually came out of the
residence after deputies made several phone calls and a sheriff’s helicopter circled above telling him to come out, said Sgt. Robert Samuels. He did not speak when taken into custody. No one else was in the residence and there were no altercations,
said the sergeant. The suspect was taken by ambulance to Palomar Medical Center Poway for mental health evaluation and received treatment, the station reported, and the case was submitted to the District Attorney’s Office.

FROM ANIMALS, A1 told the Sentinel after the meeting: “If there’s a need, we can come back out.” According to Workman, the county is paying $10,000 for the consultant’s services. Two other meetings are scheduled in the unincorporated county: 6 p.m., Thursday, July 27, Fallbrook Library, 124 S. Mission Road, Fallbrook; and 6 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 17, Bonita Library, 4375 Bonita Road, Bonita. Animal Services Deputy Director Laurie Joniaux told attendees that they are just exploring the possibility of outsourcing, no decision has been made yet, but they want to learn the level of service expectations from residents in the unincorporated areas. Joniaux said the county contracts with the cities of San Diego, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Santee, and Solana Beach, but on March 14, the county Board of Supervisors decided not to renew the contracts. The contracts are set to expire on June 30, 2018. “The county felt this would be a good opportunity to explore the
possibility of outsourcing these services for possibly more economical and more efficiency in the unincorporated areas,” she said. In March supervisors also approved the potential outsourcing of the Department of Animal Services. Since then the county has found the San Diego Humane Society to be a qualified entity to provide such services, but has not been chosen at this point, according to Joniaux. She reviewed the department’s four core areas of service: Public Services • Includes public contact; reuniting pet owners; pet adoptions; public awareness; education; licensing services; media inquiries; and microchip, licensing, and rabies vaccination clinics Shelter Services • Includes assisting strays, injured and lost animals; inventory management; euthanizing upon request or if necessary; and sheltering animals, providing cleaning, feeding, grooming, and enrichment activities. Medical Services • Includes examinations of animals when brought to

the shelter, providing vaccinations and microchips; medications; disease prevention; spay/neuter; and surgeries to prevent an animal from being euthanized. Field Services • Includes dispatch’s numerous calls and patrols responding to injuries and aggressive animals; quarantine of animals; kennel inspection; and inspect and regulate dangerous dogs and public nuisance animals. “This community and many of the unincorporated area are intimately knowledgeable about disasters, fires, floods, and we are there to help evacuate animals and end up sheltering many of these animals,” said Joniaux. “We also investigate and prosecute or proceed prosecution of animal abusers or people who neglect their animals. This is very important to us.” The deputy director said all the work is done in coordination with local, state, and national organizations. When asked about funding, Joniaux said they are not talking about funding right now but

rather the level of services. Attendees were given evaluation forms that asked them to mark each level of service as to whether it should be reduced, retained as existing, increased, or “don’t know.” “This is a joke,” a couple of people commented as they began to fill out the form. The audience was then asked to break into groups with the four core areas posted around the room. They had to list what services they did not want changed and what one area they would want improved. There were many services that attendees did not want changed and among suggested areas of improvement were expanding disaster response, better coordination with rescue groups, free micro-chipping, and more affordable or free spay and neutering. According to officials, once the data is compiled from the three meetings, it will be available for public viewing, but when asked if it will be on the animal services website, sddac.com, they could not say. The presentation provided at the supervisors’ March meeting showed that animal services has experienced a 20 percent budget increase since fiscal year 2013-14. In calendar year 2016, the City of San Diego had 64.2 percent of the service calls while the unincorporated area accounted for 26 percent. The county operates three animal shelters — in Carlsbad, San Diego, and Bonita. Potential driving costs for the new 2017-18 fiscal year include customer demand for expanded hours, personnel, and facilities. The outsourcing could be prohibited if proposed state legislation is signed into law. Workman said Assembly Bill 1250 would prevent counties from contracting out government services. The bill is scheduled for committee hearing on Aug. 21. A few representatives from animal services’ employees union, Service Employees International Union Local 221, distributed a flier that says the county has been notified that Local 221 will exercise its right to develop an independent proposal as an alternative to contracting out, as it has been shut out of the process.
FROM STORE, A1 That meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. Lewallen and some of the other members of the group said they were surprised when county staff mentioned the possibility of a big box on the site rather than a small or medium box store as had been discussed in the past. He said the public will have plenty of time to weigh in. "Having a big box is a total game changer for me," said member Dawn Perfect. The village design group is updating the Ramona Village Center Form-Based Code, a document that sets the zoning and design standards for two to three blocks on each side of Main Street, from Etcheverry Street to Third Street. Jim Hagey has asked that his residential-zoned property be included in the form-based code boundaries. That would allow him the zoning to add commercial along with developing a town square with mixed use around Elliott Pond in the northwest portion of the property. All but one in the audience appeared to be against a large retailer. Lauren Schulte, who lives at Ramona and H streets, was open to the idea of retail, saying there could be a store like a Trader Joe's and it would have to go through a process to be approved. She said it would bring jobs and the town square could provide a place for youths. Any plans would have to conform to the design elements in the form-based code. When village design vice-chair Carol Fowler talked about the limited properties in town for commercial with many vacant lots constrained due to environmental regulations, resident Doug Oliver said, “I don’t know anybody who wants a shopping center in Ramona.” Fowler disagreed, saying she knows many who would like to do more shopping in Ramona rather than going to Poway. Village design member Torry Brean said he was
not in favor of a Walmart there but the property is privately owned and won't always stay like it is. "Something will be built there," he said. That could end up being 120 houses, he added. Prior to that discussion, the village design group approved changes regarding signage and density for side street mixed use for the form-based code update. Lewallen said that when the plan was adopted by the county Board of Supervisors in July 2014, density was inadvertently left out for the downtown side streets such as A, B, D and E. Without any density those properties now are 100 percent commercial, he said, and are supposed to have mixed-use zoning. One of the proposed changes is to require a minimum of 50 percent commercial with mixed use. The group agreed to 7.3 dwelling units per acre with any small lots allowed at least one dwelling unit. Lewallen said this could help prevent the surge of federally-mandated low-income housing that the community experienced in the 1980s. "I think what this gives us is not low-income housing but affordable housing," said Fowler. The group also approved signage changes, including restricting menu boards and gas station pricing to two maximum signs of 5 feet wide by 5 feet tall, not higher than 6 feet tall, and requiring the signs be screened. Blow-up signs with compressors, ‘hot air balloon’ signs, and spotlights will not be allowed. Temporary signs such as banners or feather flags would only be allowed one time per year with a county permit for a maximum of 45 days. Lewallen said he thinks the county wants to prohibit them in Old Town. All changes will have to be approved by the design review board and the Ramona Community Planning Group. To view the draft changes visit bit.ly/2uucN4h. Fowler said she will try to have a copy of the draft changes for public viewing at the Ramona Chamber of Commerce, 960 Main St.
