GLIMPSING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE

Ramona High School freshman Domanin Montiel reacts to seeing the solar eclipse around 10:15 Monday morning as math teacher Amy McClure lets her students take turns looking through special eclipse glasses. "That's cool!" many exclaimed. The Great American Total Solar Eclipse occurred on the first day of school. Students in many Ramona High classes were allowed to go outside for the event, bringing notecards with pinholes to hold over white paper so they could view the partial covering of the sun, and taking turns looking through eclipse glasses. This was the first time in 99 years that a total solar eclipse crossed the entire United States, although areas like San Diego only saw a partial eclipse.

Upcoming meetings to address Hagey property BY KAREN BRAINARD Potential commercial options for the 20 acres of vacant land behind Stater Bros. shopping center is scheduled to be addressed at two meetings next week. Among those options is a big box store on the southern end of the property near H Street. On the agenda for the Ramona Village Design Group’s Aug. 28 meeting is consideration of including Jim Hagey’s property,

bordered by Ramona, H, and 16th streets, in the Ramona Village Center Form Based Code boundaries. That would give his residentially-zoned property mixed use zoning, which is a combination of commercial and residential. The village design group meeting will start at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. The same agenda item is scheduled to be discussed by the

Ramona Design Review Board when it meets at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 31, also in the Ramona Community Center. Both meetings are open to the public. The issue is also expected to be discussed at the Ramona Community Planning Group’s Sept. 7 meeting, which will begin at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Library Community Room.

“I would love to see him have a friend,” she added. Also during the school board meeting, Live Well San Diego Director Chuck Matthews presented trustees with a plaque from the county Board of Supervisors, proclaiming Aug. 10, 2017, Ramona Unified School District Live Well San Diego Day. Trustees in May unanimously approved a

resolution that RUSD become a Live Well San Diego School District. “Ramona knew ‘live well’ before Live Well was even thought of as a term,” said Matthews. “This community knows how to enhance and take care of itself, but then also share that expertise.” He cited the district’s after-school programs, summer food programs and fitness opportunities as examples. Among other business during the meeting: • Trustees approved a two-year Intergenerational Art Docent grant for $58,100 ($29,050 each year for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years) to pay for a part-time coordinator and for art supplies for the art docent program at all of the elementary schools. The coordinator’s salary will be $16,000 per year to recruit, train and coordinate the volunteers who work in the program. The remaining money will pay for supplies, printing, volunteer background checks and recognition, and indirect costs such as payroll, custodial, administration and utilities. • Trustees approved a change in high school graduation requirements for adult education. Effective this year, an adult education diploma requires 190 credits rather than the previous 225-credit requirement. The difference is in electives and physical education. Neighboring districts require 185 to 195 credits for an adult education diploma, said SEE SCHOOL BOARD, A26

BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON The mother and uncle of a high-functioning autistic teen asked Ramona Unified School District trustees for help during a recent board meeting. “The way I see it, if you can’t reach a child where they are and they’re struggling and they’re closing down, you’ve got to do something,” said the boy’s uncle, retired teacher Martin Brown. “And if you can’t do it here in this particular local district, there’s one right next door that probably can.” Michelle Edwards said her son has had an Individualized Education Program (IEP) since he was 3 and she’s gone through all the appropriate channels to help him be successful in life. “Unfortunately, at this time his social and emotional needs are not being met with what is going on at Ramona High School,” she said at the Aug. 10 meeting. With her son starting 11th grade this school year, “I have two more years left,” she said. Because of an incident at school last year, when her son was accused of doing something he didn’t do, his peers label him as a bad person, leaving him feeling alone without anyone to trust at school, she said. Edwards on Monday said she had not heard from anyone on the school board since the meeting. “For years, I kept asking for help,” she said. Her son was unable to read or write by the third grade. “They kept denying he had autism,” she

OPINION

www.ramonasentinel.com

COMMENTARY

Pondering our turbulent times BY PETER W. QUERCIA Hate, bigotry, even violence are as American as apple pie. This truth is self-evident. Just peruse the history of our country. The Aug. 11 protests in Charlottesville, Va., resulted in the murder of an innocent 32-year-old woman exercising her Constitutional rights of free speech when she was intentionally run over by a 20-year-old white supremacist-anarchist from Ohio. Words and symbols have great meaning, some good, some not. Scattered throughout Ramona you'll find Confederate and Gadsden "Don't Tread On Me" flags flying on front lawns or displayed in the back of oversize pickup trucks. The Gadsden flag originally symbolized anti-British and pro-Revolutionary War in a non-racial context in the 1770s. By the 1970s, the Gadsden flag became quite popular again in Libertarian circles as a symbol for ideological enthusiasm for limited government. After the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, the ultra-conservative Tea Party movement was born. To them the flag signifies swaggering defiance. But Ramona displays the most egregious symbol of anti-Semitism, bigotry and racism in the form of the 40-foot mural of Charles Augustus Lindbergh in the heart of downtown. In an infamous speech Lindbergh delivered on Sept. 11, 1941, titled "Who are the Agitators?" Lindbergh addressed the Jewish issue saying: "The greatest danger lies in (the) Jews' large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, radio and government." A popular pundit of the time said, "Lindbergh had plummeted from Public Hero Number One to Public Enemy Number One." Lindbergh went ga-ga over the Aryan Nazi party in Hitler's Germany. He was celebrated in Berlin and given state dinners. He received gifts including a medal for aviation and a sword from Nazi Air Minister Hermann Goering, who was following the orders of Adolph Hitler. Even after the atrocities of the Nazis Holocaust were revealed, Lindbergh refused to return the gifts or denounce the Nazi party in any way. The German Luftwaffe impressed Lindbergh. He liked the German peoples' unabashed allegiance to their furher and their workaholic ethics. He said he saw, "A spirit in Germany which I had not seen in any other countries." Lindbergh thought it was fruitless to fight the German Aryans; they were just too powerful. Franklin Roosevelt called Lindbergh a "Copperhead," a popular term used to describe Northerners during the Civil War who believed the Confederacy was unstoppable. On Nov. 9, 1938, the Nazis unleashed premeditated anti-Jewish riots across Germany characterized by the decimation of Jewish businesses, homes and synagogues. The riots became known as Kristallnacht, or the night of broken glass. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Lindbergh's view of war shifted. In 1944, in the Pacific Theater, he flew 50 combat missions for the United States and shot down one Japanese aircraft. The three-story high Lindbergh mural looms over Ramona complete with that goofy grin. The memorial for Lindbergh was a great idea for the mural project. It's just that the committee chose the wrong dude. The best idea would be to remove Lindbergh and replace him with a true hero — our adoptive native son, Casey Tibbs. Peter W. Quercia is a Ramona resident.

COMMENTARY

Miramar Air Show: Just Don’t Go BY DAVID PATTERSON San Diego Veterans For Peace is now in its second year of working to influence the public away from attending the Miramar Air Show. We view American militarism as a clear and present danger to our society and the world, and the most visible symbol of militarism in San Diego is the annual Miramar Air Show. Every day we read of budget cuts to virtually every aspect of government expenditure except for military spending that keeps on going up. Spending of our tax dollars should be a choice of the citizenry and not left solely to the political-military-industrial complex. However, we believe that the public is being influenced to accept continuous increases in military spending, in part, by the display of military power exhibited at the Miramar Air Show. Costs surrounding military air shows just keep on racking up. As an example, this past year the Air Force crashed a Thunderbird F-16 at a cost of $18.8 million. Luckily no one died, but when the next accident happens, those of us living near the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar may not be so lucky. To date, 10% of the pilots who train and fly for the Blue Angels have been in fatal accidents. This is an unacceptable cost for the military and for their families. The V-22 Osprey that regularly performs at the Miramar Air Show is fast becoming known for its frequent crashes. As of this writing there have been 39 V-22 fatalities with three more assumed dead off the Australian coast. Every time there is an accident, the military dictates some changes that they say lessens the risk factor, but the accidents keep happening. We hope that an accident doesn’t occur here in San

Diego and we suggest the people consider ahead of time how they might deal emotionally with the death of an aircrew, the injury or death of people on the ground, and the destruction of an F-18 aircraft that cost $50 million. It is not rational to assume all this risk solely for entertainment purposes. If an accident happens, are we to be callous and walk away, telling ourselves that the military people killed were volunteers, so no big deal? Recently a Navy Seal, trained at incredible expense, was killed entertaining a crowd in New Jersey when his parachute failed to open properly. Do we accept this? Clearly, sending our military to risk their lives to protect us is one thing, to please a crowd is insanity. We also need to ask the question, “Is the air show solely for entertainment?” The Miramar Air Show website boasts that 500,000 people attend the air show every year, but they don’t tell us which military contractors participate by renting luxury chalets right up front. In those chalets, the government contractors can, according to the air show webpage, “entertain and network with clients.” The manufacturers and contractors make obscene profits from selling the government war goods and then use some of those profits to enjoy shaded seats with fabulous food and beverages. Meanwhile the military people participating in the air show risk their lives to entertain. That risk is clear to anyone who understands military operations. Rappelling from hovering helicopters, simulating ground assaults, and flying low while simulating strafing runs are hazards that we cannot afford, except for SEE AIR SHOW, A26

OUR READERS WRITE For the record I am writing to correct statements that appeared last week in the Comments Section. The author was David Glassford. It concerns 20 acres I own behind Stater Bros. 1. While it is true that some of the land is zoned 4.3 (which allows 4 apartments, condos or houses per acre), some is zoned RU-24 (which allows 24 to the acre) and 7.3 (which allows 7). Current zoning allows, when using the site's allotment of affordable housing, the construction of approximately 166

apartments. 2. I will soon ask the Ramona Community Planning Group to consider retail as an alternative to a significant portion of this residential. 3. If possible, I will remain the owner, or part owner, of the project. During the 17 years I've owned the land, an endless stream of Ramonans have told me what they'd like to see on my property. Expanding the town square and retail components reflects their opinions. Jim Hagey San Diego

School district outlines qualifications Another delay for Wellfield Park projects for free and reduced-price meals Ramona Unified School District provides free and reduced-price meals for children served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Children are eligible for free or reduced-price meals if the household income is less than or equal to federal guidelines. Those eligible for free lunch and breakfast live in homes with annual incomes ranging from $15,678 for a household of one person to $53,716 for a household of eight. A family of four receiving $31,980 or less a year also is eligible. Those eligible for reduced-price meals live in homes with annual incomes ranging from $22,311 for a household of one person to $76,442 for a household of eight. A family of four receiving $45,510 or less a year is also eligible.

Families do not need to complete an application when they receive a letter saying that their children automatically qualify for free meals when any household member receives benefits from CalFresh, CalWORKS or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). Children who meet the definition of foster, homeless, migrant or runaway are eligible for free meals. Contact the district office at 760-787-2048 if any child in the household is not on the notification letter. The household must let the district know if it does not want to receive free or reduced-price meals. Applications for free and reduced-price meals will be sent home with a letter about the program. Applications also are online at SEE MEALS, A26

Forum speaker explores EMP threat Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., will, via Skype, discuss the electro-magnetic pulse threat during the Ramona Tea’d free public forum on Saturday, Aug. 26. The Center for Security Policy is a think tank analyzing foreign and defense policy. During the Reagan administration, Gaffney was deputy assistant secretary of defense for nuclear forces and arms control policy under Assistant Secretary Richard Perle. He was also a staff member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The EMP threat is an issue everyone should understand and be prepared for, as it can destroy or cripple the electric grid and cause tremendous harm to the country, said the forum announcement. The forum will be in Ramona Mainstage 626 Main St. Doors open at 11 a.m. and the program will begin at noon. Early arrival is suggested for the best seating. For more information, see ramonatead.com.

BY KAREN BRAINARD Another bureaucratic hurdle has stalled the progress of projects planned for Wellfield Park despite the fact that funding was released by the county Board of Supervisors in April. County Flood Control has stepped in and said it needs to make sure the projects will not impact the floodway of the park. It is unknown whether the $593,000 of Park Lands Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) funds released by supervisors on April 26 will now be enough to cover the four projects. Of the four — Ramona Girls Softball LED scoreboards, Ramona Soccer League soccer field expansion, a nine-hole disc golf course, and 15 tournament-standard horseshoe pits — only the disc golf can proceed at this time,

according to the county. “Disc golf seems to be on a good forward-moving path,” said Ramona Parks and Recreation Association (RPRA) Director Dawn Perfect. But even to move forward with that project becomes complicated due to the operating structure of the park. Wellfield Park is owned by the Ramona Municipal Water District, which leases it to RPRA, which subleases to the sports groups. Perfect said the PLDO funds will go to the water district and it will then pay for the projects, but RPRA may be responsible for hiring the contractors. Trying to accomplish the park projects has also involved at least three county departments. On Aug. 9, Perfect and Casey Lynch, chair of the Ramona Community

Planning Group’s Park and Recreation Subcommittee, met with representatives from the county’s Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), Planning and Development Services (PDS), and Flood Control under the Department of Public Works (DPW) at the park. Joining them was Tim Clement, director of human resources for the water district, Perfect said. The result of that meeting is that a new minor deviation to the park’s major use permit is necessary. That will be the third minor deviation since the projects were first submitted four years ago. The first minor deviation was in December 2015; the second came a year later, said Perfect. According to county staff, which compiled and emailed SEE PROJECTS, A26

Chamber welcomes board candidates Ramona Chamber of Commerce invites chamber members interested in serving the community on the chamber’s board to consider running in its annual election in October.

RAMONA SENTINEL - AUGUST 24, 2017 - PAGE A7

Paul Zawilenski rallies fellow bikers BY KAREN BRAINARD y day, Paul Zawilenski can be found in a suit and tie sitting at a desk, but at night or on the weekends he could be cruising along on a backcountry road on one of his motorcycles. “I always joke with clients here that ‘you’re not going to recognize me outside the office,’” said Zawilenski, vice president and Chase private client adviser with J.P. Morgan. He is also vice president of the Ramona Chamber of Commerce board of directors. Combining his business experience with his zest for riding motorcycles, Zawilenski is organizing the second annual Custom Bike Show for the Ramona Country Fair. The show is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday at the fairgrounds. Last year’s Custom Bike Show drew about 30 participants and this year Zawilenski is hoping to at least double that amount. “We had a good mix last year — men, women, all kinds of bikes.” There will be different classes for motorcycles, including stock, custom, vintage, and chopper, and there will be prizes. “We’re handing out custom trophies,” Zawilenski said, showing a photo of the unique awards created with used motorcycle parts and horseshoes. “That’s truly one-of-a-kind artwork.” The idea for the show came from watching people constantly riding motorcycles through town. Zawilenski said he wanted to give them a

Community Profile reason to stop, have breakfast at one of the restaurants, and park their bikes and see the fair. Zawilenski has seen the success of bike shows in other parts of the country. He has ridden to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, S.D. The small town attracts people from all over the world for the rally, which just marked its 77th year. A 22-year resident of Ramona, Zawilenski is originally a Midwesterner. “I moved out to Southern California from Chicago to be by the beach,” he said. Growing up he lived in a Chicago suburb, but his family had a farm in a small town in central Wisconsin where they often vacationed. “As a kid I was riding little mini bikes and mini cycles up in Wisconsin and just kept that passion,” he said. Zawilenski said when he saw Ramona, “it reminded me so much of that small town.” He moved to San Diego in 1981 to attend San Diego State University and stayed. He has four bikes: a chopper, a Harley-Davidson touring bike, a Harley-Davidson Road King, and a 1999 Yamaha Road Star. “I got one of the first ones,” he said of the Yamaha. Here there are so many different types of riding — some people like to ride their motorcycles in the sand in the desert or race

KAREN BRAINARD

Chamber vice president Paul Zawilenski stands by his Harley-Davidson Road King, one of four motorcycles that he owns. Motocross, or ride on the street — he noted. “For me I like the cruising. I like the cruising on a country road…so I’ve got different motorcycles based on where I want to go and what I want to do.” On weekends, that could be riding through the backcountry and the “quiet mountain roads,” perhaps through Julian and down to Borrego Springs, or through Warner Springs and on to Palm Springs for lunch. While he likes the freedom of riding by himself, he sometimes rides with groups and said it’s easy to strike up conversations with other bikers. His wife, Susan Wilson, who grew up in the San Diego area, also likes to ride, but as an

equestrian and shows horses competitively. “That’s how we balance each other out. She’s got horses, I’ve got motorcycles, so it’s perfect,” he said. Zawilenski, who is also chair of the Ramona Community Foundation, has plans for more events. Earlier this year he organized a backcountry poker run, and on the last Thursday of the month he invites bikers to the Ramona American Graffiti Cruise Night. He is also working on a big family-friendly event for the first weekend in November with Twisted Throttle, Barona Drag Strip races and IV League flat track races. “We’ve got professional racers out here — adults and children,” he said.

FROM HAGEY, A1

The Hole in the Wall Gang will entertain fairgoers with a Wild West Show on Saturday from 6 to 7:30 p.m. A dress rehearsal will be Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m. FROM FAIR, A1 homemade jams, jellies, honey, salsa, bread, muffins, jerky, pickles, relishes and homegrown vegetables. Winners also will be selected for art and photography. The fair also will feature a variety of vendors, including local businesses and home crafters. “The Ramona Country Fair is an old-fashioned country fair that shows how Ramona has that home-sweet-home feeling and the best that small towns still have to offer,” said Heidi Sam, Ramona chamber board member and chairman of the 2017 Ramona Country Fair. “We are guaranteeing family fun for the whole family. It’s the best four days of summer.” Among the scheduled musical activities: opening ceremonies and DJ music on Thursday night, live music with Jon Hasz of Ramona Music Center on Friday night, and the Ramona Bluegrass Festival on Sunday afternoon. Fair sponsors include Barona Resort & Casino, Poway Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, Kamps Propane, Ramona Disposal Services, SoCal Satellite, Chase Bank, American Vision Windows, One Stop Equipment Rental, and Country Wine and Spirits of Ramona. The latest Dodge Ram trucks will be on display from Poway Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. Proceeds from the fair will benefit the Ramona community, including chamber scholarships to Ramona students and support to other local events that promote Ramona as a destination. For more information, call 760-789-1311 or visit www.RamonaChamber.com and facebook.com/RamonaCountryFair.

Hague Quality Water…

custom–tailored zoning document for Ramona’s town center that was adopted in July 2014, is undergoing an update and Hagey has asked that the property be included within the boundaries so he can have mixed use. County staff has created three different renderings showing possibilities for a combination of retail and residential. The renderings are available on the county’s 2017 Ramona Form Based Code Update website, bit.ly/2uBGZLZ. Scroll down to “Potential Mixed Use Development.” “We’re not approving a plan,” noted Tim Vertino, a planner with the county’s Planning and Development Services. “We’re just looking at potential options.” Any development would require a more technical review, said Vertino. All three renderings show a box store facing Ramona Street. Two renderings include houses along H Street. Buildings with mixed use, a combination of retail on the first floor and residential on the second floor, are shown closer to Elliott Pond where Hagey has proposed his idea of a town square with activities, outdoor cafes, and shops. Hagey, who did not work with county staff on the renderings, said he saw

them for the first time Aug. 7 and feels they do not sufficiently take into account neighbors’ concerns, nor do they convey the rural look that he wants or the “activity and fun of the town square.” “My mission is to make a project everyone in Ramona, including immediate neighbors, loves to visit,” he said. David Glassford is one of the neighbors opposing commercial development with a box store. “There’s well over 100 households that will be affected by this,” he said. Increased traffic, the potential for more crime, and the safety of children walking to the schools in that area are some of the concerns voiced by residents. Glassford said he is worried that the creation of more sidewalks and road infrastructure will cause his property to flood. The form based code boundaries extend two blocks from Main Street to D Street but Glassford said that to include Hagey’s property would take the mixed use zoning out four more blocks in that area to H Street.

“It was supposed to be a community of houses or townhouses which was fine,” he said, referring to Hagey’s original plans. Hagey has owned the property for 17 years and during that time there have been changes in the economy. Originally he wanted to build a pre-1940s walkable community of houses with deep front porches, narrow streets, pockets parks, and a town square around Elliott Pond, but said after eight years and spending $1 million he still didn’t have county approval. Then the economy and the housing market took a hit. In early 2014, he went to the Ramona planning group, proposing an active town square of mixed use on six acres of his property by the pond. To make that financially viable, Hagey said the remaining 14 acres would need to be developed with a large retailer such as Target or Trader Joe’s. The planners had mixed reactions to his proposal and he did not receive enough votes for an endorsement. Hagey told the Sentinel last week that he would likely work with a joint

FROM CALTRANS, A1 In addition to the posts, Caltrans is re-striping and increasing the stripes from 4 feet wide to 6 feet wide. Crews are also re-paving where they are adding a high friction surface treatment on the shoulders in locations such as Cloudy Moon Drive, Poway Road and Scripps Poway Parkway. Although the project was expected to take just six months, Bruce-Johnson said it will take longer because Caltrans modified and upgraded plans for the Changeable Message Signs that will alert drivers of real time accidents on northbound 67. Those will be placed on SR-67 just before Winter Gardens Boulevard and before Poway Road and southbound before Scripps Poway Parkway. In addition, the transition from two lanes to

one lane on northbound 67 just past Archie Moore Road will be relocated to south of Archie Moore Road where the highway is straighter. That will help drivers slow down and travel around the curve one vehicle at a time and will be one of the final elements of the project, according to Caltrans. Most of the work is conducted between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday when traffic volumes are at their lowest, said Bruce-Johnson. Crews are working on one-mile segments. In other work, last week Caltrans maintenance crews applied gravel to the SR-67 shoulders near Mt. Woodson to fill in ruts and raise the shoulder level even with the roadway, said Bruce-Johnson. That work was not related to the centerline project, she said. Caltrans reminds motorists to obey posted speed limit signs and “Be Work Zone Alert.”

venture partner for his commercial projects. He said he knows of an interested broker but has not recently been in touch with any retailers. The market, he noted, has flipped and housing is stronger than brick-and-mortar retail. If his retail plan and inclusion in the form based code boundaries is rejected, Hagey said he is unsure if he will build residential units on his property. “It depends on whether I can find a joint venture partner who shares my walkable, front porch vision,” he said. Hagey said he intends to have his own residence on site if he builds mixed use or residential. The 20 acre-property has three different residential zones and will allow a maximum of 166 dwelling units, he said. If Hagey’s property is incorporated into the form based code, plans would have to conform to code standards that address architecture, lighting, landscaping, parking, and other elements. The project would also go before the design review board and the planning group.

GO BULLDOGS

Friday Night Lights in the Dawg Pound

ith enrollment at approximately 1,500 students, Ramona High is the second smallest football program in the North County and will participate in the extremely tough Palomar League. Interscholastic Federation (CIF) has gone to MaxPreps to decide 2017 CIF division rankings. Five years ago CIF changed the process of placing programs by division. No longer is placement based on enrollment. CIF divisions for the playoffs are now determined on a varsity team's three-year history in the Win-Loss category. This year the Bulldogs are a Division 2 CIF team. In 2016 Ramona went 5-6 with the youngest team in Coach Damon Baldwin’s tenure, losing a tough home playoff game to Vista High. Ramona’s 2017 team will field 28 seniors and a strong junior class, with only one sophomore beginning the season on varsity. The team has worked hard and has many multiple sport athletes, which is what a smaller school must have to compete in all its programs, says Baldwin. Players and fans look forward to another exciting schedule in 2017. The home opener will be against former CIF champion Mater Dei, which went 10-2 in 2016. That game will be followed by perennial rival Pt. Loma High as the Pointers enter the Dawg Pound on week No. 2. As part of the Palomar League, the Bulldogs will again face Rancho Bernardo, Westview, Vista, Del Norte, Poway, and Mt. Carmel. Two other North County schools — San Pasqual and Rancho Buena Vista — fill out the schedule.

Season pass offers reserved seats in center section Bulldog fans wanting to be assured one of the best seats in the Dawg Pound may prefer purchasing a season pass to individual tickets for the home games. The season pass is for the stadium’s center section reserved seat area. Season pass holders will have the same seat for each home game for varsity, junior varsity and freshman. Cost is $90 for adults and $35 for children ages 2 to 12. To purchase a season pass, contact Jennifer Johnson with the Bulldog Booster Club at jennifer@abcore.com. Single tickets: Home game tickets in the non-reserved section of the stadium for varsity and junior varsity are $8 for adults ages 18 to 59 and $5 for children ages 5 to 17 and seniors age 60 and older. Tickets for frosh home games are $4 for adults and $3 for children and seniors. Entry is free for Ramona High School ASB card holders and children age 4 and younger.

2017 Varsity Team Preview Capsule: Offense Tight Ends

the starting quick guard spot. Senior Miguel Hernandez has moved to offensive line from linebacker a year ago and is playing very well this far in August camp. Senior Jacob Jones is also in the mix at center and guard. Jacob has made great improvements in the Weight Room and will compete to start on both lines. Junior JT Buttle has been maturing this summer and is in line to compete at a tackle spot. JT is 6'5” and has great long range with so much potential. Junior Raul Lopez provides quality depth in the line. Seniors Chris Espina, Joan Torres Salgado, Chris Vandell, Andrew Gaona, Alfredo Herrera, Manuel Gordillo, and Alexis Torres Salgado will all provide depth as needed.

Coached by George Cobian ight End in the Bulldog Offense may be the most important position in the offensive playbook. Ramona prefers to utilize multiple tight ends and finding players that can block, catch, and pass protect takes unique players. Fortunately this year we have a talented and deep group. Senior Riley Armstrong is back at 6’5” 220 lbs. Riley will be counted on to be a physical blocker and to catch the short and medium pass groupings. Senior Nick Maccini will see much more action this season as his ability to run cannot be overlooked. Junior Jack Drews will be utilized as an H-back TE at times, and seniors Landon Watkins and Michael McCrory will provide depth in certain sets. Newcomer senior Noah Yunis is learning the position.

Quarterbacks

Offensive Line Coached by Damon Baldwin ny success of an Offensive Football team can be directly attributed to the Offensive Line. The Bulldogs return three starting linemen from 2016. Senior Michael Thorson at 6'5” 265 lbs anchors the line. Thorson is being recruited by many schools on the West Coast. Senior Gabe Stallman also returns. The Bulldogs are hoping Stallman can handle going two ways and play hard for four quarters while being asked to be on the field all game. Junior Everson Wimer returns after starting all 11

Coached by Paul Gabriel enior Casey Buggeln started seven games in 2016 before an ankle injury sidelined him for three-plus games. Senior Christian Gabriel took control for two starts following the injury before JV starter Derek Diamond stepped up and started two games himself. This summer Derek Diamond and Casey Buggeln were set to compete for the starting job with Casey having the edge being the returning starter. Diamond suffered an unfortunate injury to his jaw in summer baseball after an incredible performance at the San Diego State 7 on 7 tournament. Casey Buggeln then became the MVP of the La Costa SEE OFFENSE, A15

Tristan Stacy, an All-Palomar League First-Team Offense selection last year, returns at tailback. games in 2016 at offensive guard. This season Wimer will compete with junior Tyler Johnson, who is having a great camp at strong tackle. Junior Jacob McElwee is back after having to "sit out" for half the season in 2016 due to CIF transfer rules. Jacob gets the first nod at

the starting center position after seeing playing time on both sides of the line the second half of the season. Jacob has had a monster year in the Weight Room joining the prestigious 1,000-pound club at Ramona High. Junior Trevor Strong added quality strength and size in our offseason and is challenging for

Diamond will be healthy by the time the season begins for the Bulldogs which is great for team strength as both quarterbacks need competition to maximize their talents. Buggeln is the starter and can do great things. Baldwin likes the depth at this position. Sophomore Quarterback Leonardo Seanez looks to have an extremely bright future and will begin as No. 3, but will be utilized in other areas at Corner and WR. Senior Christian Gabriel can also line up under Center if needed, as CJ brings an athletic piece to the position.

Running Backs Coached by John Pecoraro unning the football is necessary to WIN in football. The Running back position has a history of fantastic players at Ramona High School. Kyle Blackwell, Ryan Morgan, Tyler Jackson, Nate Lutu, Joey Dambrose, Brandon Gansch, Nathan Cherek, Kirk Kaliszewski, Jason Bash and many more. This season Ramona plans to utilize junior Sean McDonald (5'11” 195 lbs.) and returning 1st Team All Palomar League Offensive Player senior Tristan Stacy at Tailback. Sean provides a mixture of power and good vision. Tristan provides that big play threat with his 4.59 speed. Sophomore Danny Phillips will also provide depth. The Fullback position has a chance to be a strength with senior Caleb Berman moving from Tailback to Fullback this season and has impressed up to this point. Senior Joaquin

RAMONA SENTINEL - AUGUST 24, 2017 - PAGE A15

Gonzalez and junior Tyler Pierce all provide depth. H-backs Jack Drews (6’2” 225 lbs.) and Landon Watkins (6’3” 220 lbs.) will also line up and give the Bulldogs a BIG threat in the backfield. The development of this group is critical in the team’s success. This position must pass block and catch the ball out of the backfield as well.

Wide Receivers Coached by David Langill he Bulldog Wide Receiver group may be the most talented and deepest in depth the program has had in years. Returning 2nd Team All Palomar League senior WR Dominic McManus leads the group. Dominic had an amazing 7 on 7 summer and looks primed for a Big Senior Year. First Team All Palomar Offensive Player senior Tristan Stacy is also dangerous at any of our WR positions. Tristan has a high Football IQ so he will play everywhere. Senior Christian “CJ” Gabriel has added size and strength and has had a huge summer. CJ is versatile and can also play all three spots in our WR groups. CJ's move into slot was a huge success this summer. Junior Cameron Necochea, who missed his sophomore year due to injury, was the surprise of summer 7 on 7. Cameron proved he has big play potential. Junior Riley Colvin showed he is capable of filling in and running disciplined routes and is critical to our group’s success in a long season. Junior Dawson SanFilippo, sophomore Leonardo Seanez, and senior Tim DelReal all provide depth at this position. Sophomore Ace Jones moves up to varsity after JV Camp to utilize his size and speed.

2017 Varsity Team Preview Capsule: Defense Linebackers Coached by Tanner Triplett inebackers have to be the leaders of any defense. This season the Bulldogs have five who played major roles in the 2016 season. Both Defensive Co-MVPs of last year’s team return in senior Joaquin Gonzalez, who has great leadership qualities and junior Jack Drews (2016 2nd Team All Palomar League), who will roam the middle as a 6’3” 225 lb. Mike linebacker. Outside linebackers senior Nick Maccini and senior Caleb Berman have looked great this off season. Another inside linebacker who will be asked to do a lot for the team this season is junior Sean McDonald. Sean is a 195 lb. force who will be asked to carry a big load at tailback as well. Linebackers providing depth are junior Riley Colvin, junior Ruben Ledezma, junior Tyler Pierce, and seniors Colton Snyder and Jack Falconer. These five will contribute on special teams and see action. Other linebackers are sophomore Danny Phillips, senior Alfredo Herrera, and junior Carlos Solis.

Secondary Coached by Craig Powell he secondary has a chance to be a real strength for the Bulldogs. Returning 1st Team Corner Christian Gabriel leads the group at corner. CJ developed into a "lock" down corner as a junior. Senior Nick Maccini, who lines up at linebacker in certain sets, moves to the free safety position in base defense and has been phenomenal with big plays all summer. Junior Cameron Necochea has stormed the field on his return, and looked very good in pre-season at our other corner. Senior Tristan Stacy will rotate and play in secondary on certain packages. Tristan is a "Pick 6" player having numerous interceptions for touchdowns in the previous two seasons. Junior Derek Diamond was starting early in the summer at safety, but the injury suffered in summer baseball has limited his progress. The team is hoping Diamond returns to early summer form as the season progresses. Junior Dawson SanFilippo has

shown he can provide some depth at corner along with sophomore Leonardo Seanez, who looks like the real deal athletically for the future. Seniors Michael McCrory and Tim Del Real along with sophomore Ace Jones all could see action and will be counted on to help on special teams. Seniors Carson Crist and Noah Yunis provide depth.

Defensive Line Coached by Jeremy Drews ike on offense, a team can only go as far as its lineman will take it. This season the Bulldogs will need the defensive line to play tough and physical for the Dawgs to move up from a year ago. All four starters return in seniors Landon Watkins, Gabriel Stallman and Michael Mazzola and junior Jacob McElwee. Senior Jacob Jones will split time with McElwee in certain packages in order for McElwee to be rested for center. Other defensive lineman to see regular playing time are junior JT Buttle, senior Miguel Hernandez, senior Riley Armstrong, and junior Raul Lopez. Lopez needs to stay healthy and he has potential to be really good. Other defensive lineman providing depth are junior Josh Diaz, senior Jesus Aviles, junior Trevor Strong, senior Andrew Gaona, and junior Tyler Johnson.

Coaches set high goals for small but talented teams

ALEXIS NAGEM

Bulldog cross-country runners take time for a photo with coach Sherri Edwards after a training run. Front: senior Shawn McClure, sophomore Andy Dunker, sophomore Amy Brown, junior Lexie Waples, junior Carmen Ocampo and freshman Jeffrey S. Wiggins Jr. Standing: junior Jack Clough, sophomore Jakob Linares, sophomore Heidi Lundgren, sophomore Michaela Meskell, sophomore Kensey Sapper, freshman Madalyn Perkins and freshman Jennifer Hull.

BY DAN BROWN Ramona High School boys and girls cross country teams begin their fourth season led by head coach Sherri Edwards and coach Steve Emory. Edwards, who competed in track at Centerville High School and Miami University in Ohio, coached cross country at Ramona High from 1993-95 and then took time off to raise her family before returning to coach in 2014. She has also coached track and field at Ramona from 1991-96 and 2011 to present. Emory ran cross country and track in high school for Granite Hills and then for Grossmont College for one season for legendary Coach Bob Larson. Emory coached Olive Peirce Middle School cross country and track from 1994 to 2007. He then coached El Capitan High School’s cross country and track teams from 2009-14 before returning to Ramona High School in 2014 to work with Edwards. Their goal this season is for the boys and girls teams to qualify for the state championships in Fresno even though the teams are smaller than last year. The boy’s team ended 2016 with a disappointing finish at the San Diego CIF Championships, placing ninth out of 18 Division III teams. The Bulldogs return four of their top seven runners from last season. All four runners are juniors.

Prep Boys Water Polo

Prep Cross Country Ramona’s top returning runner is Jack Clough followed by Cameron Klein, Mitchell Sutter and Gavin Roche. Clough placed 23rd at the San Diego CIF Championship race last year with a time of 17:56 over the hilly 3.04 mile course at Morley Field. He continued to show improvement through the track season lowering his mile time to 4:28. Klein placed 36th at the championships last season with a time of 18:26 and was Ramona’s top two-miler in track with a time 10:39. Sutter and Roche are greatly improved from last year, noted their coaches. “I am definitely ahead of where I was at this time last year since I was not even running,” said Sutter, referring to his recovery from a broken collar bone. Edwards is hoping that senior Shawn McClure, junior Kyle Beals and sophomore Andy Dunker will step up to fill the 5 through 7 spots on the team. Ramona girls finished fourth out of 14 Division III teams at the San Diego CIF Championships last season, one spot from qualifying for the state meet as a team. Ramona will be led by state qualifier Amy Brown, a sophomore, followed by sophomore Michaela Meskell, junior Alexa Waples,

sophomore Gracie Knowd and senior Madison Huckey. The top seven should be rounded out by sophomore Alyssa Davis and freshman Jennifer Hull. Brown finished 14th out of 109 runners at the championships last season with a time of 17:46 over the 2.75 mile course at Morley Field. Brown fought through a couple of injuries during her track season but still managed the top mile (5:39) and 2-mile (11:52) times for Ramona. Her time of 11:52 was good for runner-up at the Valley League championship race. Meskell and Waples placed 40th and 41st at the championships last season with times of 19:01 and 19:04, respectively. Waples had a successful track season running a personal best 5:39 in the mile. Edwards said she is proud of the way the team worked during the summer. “Many of the team members ran five to six days a week,” she said. “I believe that both the boys and girls teams have a great chance to make it to the state meet if they keep improving like they have been.” Ramona’s first race of the season is the Vaquero Stampede at Lindo Lakes in Lakeside on Saturday, Aug. 26.

Prep Volleyball

Experience, conditioning may Team rhythm biggest challenge for Bulldog spikers compensate for lack of depth BY JOE NAIMAN The 2017 boys water polo competition season begins Thursday through Saturday with the RB Invite tournament hosted by Rancho Bernardo High School. The Ramona High School team will face La Costa Canyon in the Westview High School pool at Aug. 24 at 5:30 p.m. "It's early this year," Ramona coach Donnie Williams said of this year’s season start. The early start meant an earlier start of practice, which began Aug. 1. Because school had not yet started, some players may join Ramona's varsity or junior varsity in the near future to increase the roster size of the Bulldogs' varsity and junior varsity teams. "We'd like to get the squad up," Williams said. A total of 21 players were in the program this week. Williams has not yet decided how many of those will be on the varsity team and how many will be on the junior varsity. In the absence of a 20-second penalty, seven players from each team are in the pool at one time, so a well-conditioned team will be necessary to compensate for the lack of Ramona substitutes. "We taxed them pretty hard this year,"

Williams said. "They've accepted that challenge." Josh Ferry and Dawson Webster are the only returning varsity starters. Four other players were also on the 2016 varsity. "We have a lot of kids who played at the varsity level last year," Williams said. "We do have a lot of experience right now." Some of the newer varsity players have been teammates at the junior varsity level. "These guys actually get along really well," Williams said. "There is a lot of continuity with each other. It's just a matter of getting them to play together and play against the varsity-level talent." The Bulldogs had scrimmages Aug. 16 at Helix High School and Aug. 18 against Patrick Henry at the Allied Gardens Recreation Center. Williams noted that his players improved between the two scrimmages. "They made some big adjustments," he said. Ramona's junior varsity will start its 2017 season with the Aug. 25-26 El Capitan Invitational tournament. "I like the group so far. Hopefully we'll continue to grow," Williams said.

BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's volleyball team opens its season Friday with a match at Eastlake High School. The Bulldogs' first home match will take place Aug. 29 against Olympian. The matches will determine how well Ramona's players can work together in competition. "Our skills are not the question,” said coach Connie Halfaker. “It's the system and finding out what system works the best for the talent that we have." This year's varsity roster consists of three seniors, seven juniors and two sophomores. Last year's roster included five seniors, all of whom were starters on the 2016 team. "We have moved people to different positions to accommodate," Halfaker said. The Bulldog players will need a sense of security, familiarity and confidence with their teammates to avoid breaks in flow present during the team's two scrimmages. "What we need to do right now is get in a rhythm," Halfaker said. "It's going to clear itself up." The first of those scrimmages took place Aug. 11 at the San Diego Volleyball Club. Eight teams participated, and Ramona faced six of the seven

potential opponents. The scrimmages gave the teams activity against opponents while also providing non-players with interscholastic match experience. "It was a learning ground for the officials," Halfaker said. The Aug. 16 scrimmage at Mt. Carmel High School involved seven teams. "What we're doing with these scrimmages is looking at line-up possibilities, looking at team strengths," Halfaker said. The scrimmages also determined where Halfaker and assistant coaches Kyle Adelman, Trevor Adelman and Luke Papps need to focus their coaching work during the season. Halfaker kept 12 of the 23 players who tried out for the varsity including eight who were with the varsity last year. An additional 35 players tried out for the junior varsity and novice squads. The turnout is close to that of past years. "We're pretty much just running right up there," Halfaker said. Tryouts and practice began Aug. 3. "I think we're going to have a very exciting offense," Halfaker said. "We're going to have a pretty scrappy defense that will keep us in play."

FROM SCHOOL BOARD, A2 Assistant Superintendent of Education Services Theresa Grace. “The rationale behind that is most adults, when they’re coming back to school to earn an adult education diploma, have already had a lot of life experiences … so this is just an opportunity for us to help our adults in the community more quickly complete their high school graduation requirements,” she said. • Trustees approved a course of study for French IV and revised career technical education courses of study for culinary arts, international cuisine, and digital photography I and II to include model career CTE standards. At the start of the meeting, board president Rodger Dohm announced three unanimous votes trustees had taken in the closed session

FROM AIR SHOW, A4 training and combat. These activities should not be used for entertaining military contractors making deals. There is a third and disturbing aspect of the Miramar Air Show that worries us deeply. Our children are being brainwashed because the Miramar Air Show glorifies war. It makes war look cool, fun and interesting. What we see is a deliberate push by the military to convince our young children to buy into wars that our politicians will dream up in the future. Our children are being dazzled with weapons and air displays. The powerful effect on our children can clearly be seen in a YouTube documentary by Chris Smiley, “Disneyland of War, short

preceding the public portion of the meeting. One was to reject a claim presented to the district, and one was to readmit a student. The third was to issue a notice of unsatisfactory performance to a certificated employee. After the meeting, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Joel Garcia said in an email that the teacher has the opportunity to respond in writing to the allegations in the notice. The notice and the teacher’s response go into the teacher’s personnel file. “As part of the notice, the employee is given directives for performance improvement and is evaluated periodically over the course of 90 days following the issuance of such notice,” continued Garcia. “If those directives are not followed, the employer may pursue further discipline up to and including dismissal.” documentary.” Ironically this video, about the Miramar Air Show, should not be watched by children: youtube.com/watch?v=USnNFkFkdEk. We ask the readers to watch it and ask yourself, is this what we intended for our children? While all the noise and firepower can be exhilarating, the members of San Diego Veterans For Peace believe that there is no reason to risk our people and equipment for a weekend entertainment activity. Let’s get serious and let the people that run this air show know that we disapprove, by refusing to attend. Dave Patterson, a Ramona resident, is NoMAS (No Miramar Air Show) coordinator and past president of San Diego Veterans For Peace.

OASIS tutors can ‘change a life’ Training scheduled Ramona Unified School District for the 19th year invites adult volunteers to tutor children in first through third grades. “You can change a life by providing the individual attention that helps children build confidence and experience success through OASIS tutoring,” said Lyn Hardy, the district’s OASIS intergenerational tutor coordinator. “OASIS tutors foster a caring, supportive environment where reading and language activities, keyed specifically to each child’s interests, spark curiosity and create opportunities to set attainable

Ronald S. ‘Ron’ DeKoven February 4, 1928 - August 17, 2017

RAmonA — Ronald S. DeKoven, 89, passed away on August, 17, 2017 in Poway, CA. Ron was born in oakland, CA to Stanley H. Cohen DeKoven and Demetra Capatanos DeKoven on February, 4, 1928. He moved to San Diego as a small child, attending Hamilton Elementary, Wilson Junior High, Hoover High school, and after a short time in the merchant marines, graduated in 1948. He attended San Diego City College for about one year, studying laboratory technology, but did not finish the program. After the navy, where he served during World War II, he worked as a mechanic, salesman, and owned a sewing machine and vacuum repair business. Finally he settled into government work.

First at north Island and eventually as an mVS driver for the Postal Service, where he was their union representative. He retired in 1989, after 20+ years. Ron loved his retirement. one of his hidden talents was his ability to play the harmonica and sing (like a crooner). He entertained residents at his mobile home park, the Ramona Senior Center, and loved

to sing at church. He also loved caring for his dog, Little Boy, spending time with his prayer brothers every Wednesday morning at Kountry Kitchen, and sitting on his front porch watching folks go by. Ron had two highlights other than his family: he was honored to go to Washington, DC as a part of the Honor Flight, celebrating World War II era personnel, and he enjoyed seeing our great nation in his motorhome, with his dog as his companion. Ron is survived by his life partner, Doris Clough of Ramona, CA; daughter, Rhonna Porch; son, David DeKoven both of San Diego, CA; son, Stan DeKoven, of Ramona, CA; grandsons, Paul Posey of San Diego, CA and Seth Posey of oceanside, CA; granddaughters, Alta DeKoven of ontario, CA,

Rebecca Volosin and Rachel Romero of Ramona, CA; great-grandchildren, Brandon Posey, Kaitlyn Volosin, Daniela and Adrian Romero, and Daisy Posey. He is also survived by his sister, marie Cruzen of Phoenix, AZ. He is preceded in death by both of his parents; and wife, Carma Louise Riley DeKoven. A memorial service will be held at First Congregational Church of Ramona, 404 8th Street, Ramona, CA 92065, on August 25, 2017 at 11am, with Dr. Stan DeKoven officiating. For information call 760-789-3348. By Ron’s request he will be cremated and his ashes are to be scattered. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

answers to questions posed by the Sentinel regarding the latest delay, the major use permit says that all improvements must be constructed in accordance with local, state and federal requirements. “While executing the recently approved minor deviation on the major use permit, we realized Flood Control had not yet been contacted, so we reached out to ensure all improvements within the floodway complied with federal requirements. Flood Control is now involved — it just happened a little later than normal due to the complicated structure of this funding relationship,” said county staff. Projects in flood-prone areas such as floodplains and floodways must be reviewed to determine if they will increase the risk of flooding. While the equipment for disc golf has been determined not to increase the flood risk, the footings for the scoreboards, light poles for the soccer field, and a steel-shaded structure for 12 of the horseshoe pits need to be analyzed, said Perfect. However, first the architect

working with the county must redesign some aspects of the projects. Perfect said the designs placed the light poles for the soccer field inside the field instead of outside the fence, and left out the shade cover for the horseshoe pits. Jim Cooper, champion of the horseshoe project, said the cover was part of the project from the beginning. “It was in the cost estimate,” he said. He and Perfect expressed frustration with the process. The funds that were released by supervisors are still being maintained by the county, which charges an administrative fee every time staff fields a phone call related to the projects, noted Cooper. What all four projects will now cost is under review by the county. “Some new elements were added to the project and we’re in the process of evaluating associated costs to see if we can complete all work in budget,” staff said. Among staff contributing to the Sentinel’s questions were Jill Bankston, chief of development, DPR; Dennis Howe, chief of building division, PDS; and Ramin Abidi, deputy director, DPW.

LUCKY,

a 4-year-old Giant Chinchilla mix rabbit, is looking for a loving home. This sweet boy loves to interact with staff and volunteers and is very friendly. He would love to be housed in an exercise pen in his new home so he has plenty of space to hop and play, along with lots of fresh veggies to eat. His vision is limited so he would like a family who talks sweetly to him when approaching so he doesn’t get startled. He is a very social, friendly and snuggly rabbit who can’t wait to be a cherished member of your family. Lucky is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus 3450 E Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

Court to cut services to meet budget City News Service—Effective next month, the San Diego Superior Court will no longer provide official court reporters in family law matters for domestic violence restraining order hearings or “request for order” hearings of 40 minutes or less, court officials said. The court is also eliminating more than 60 positions to meet its budget, including upper management and Court Commissioners. “Our state funding does not cover what it takes to run the second largest court in California,” said Executive Officer Michael Roddy. “With no new money in the state budget for court operations, reductions in current funding associated with continued implementation of the statewide judicial branch funding methodology and increases in labor costs, we are facing a $6 million deficit.'' The budget cuts will result in the removal and consolidation of services over the next few months, including: • Juvenile Dependency courtrooms and operations in South and Downtown Central will be closed and cases will be transferred to other courts; • One Juvenile Delinquency department in Kearny Mesa will be closed; and • All Small Claims and Unlawful Detainer operations and courtrooms in North County will be closed and active cases will be transferred downtown. “The judges of the San Diego Superior Court do not want to make these service reductions,” said Presiding Judge Jeffrey Barton. “Unfortunately, we have no choice. These changes impact some of the most vulnerable people we serve, including families in crisis, small claims litigants, and tenants and landlords,” the judge said. “In previous budget cuts, we have tried to keep cuts from affecting families and children. Now, with continuing reductions in our budget we have nowhere else to reduce. Our budget is over $30 million lower than it was nine years ago in 2008 despite increasing costs in all areas of operation.''

Palomar Health Heart and Vascular Center has been recognized by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology as a national leader for treating heart attack patients. Palomar Health received the Mission: Lifeline Bronze Plus STEMI Recognition Award and NCDR ACTION Registry Platinum Performance Achievement Award for implementing the highest standard of care for heart attack patients. “These awards show Palomar Health provides the best patient care,” said Palomar Health Cardiac Catheterization Lab Director Mikhail Malek, M.D., FACC, FSCAI. “We deliver interventions to patients at the right time and send them home with optimum medication and follow-up care.” Palomar Health’s Heart and Vascular Center treated 166 of the most serious heart attack (STEMI) patients last year. All of the patients received treatment to open a blocked artery in less than 60 minutes, 33 percent faster than the nationally recommended standard of 90 minutes for door-to-balloon time. Opening the blocked artery as soon as possible greatly increases the patient’s chance for survival and a quick recovery. Malek and his multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals have worked to implement evidence-based practices and a culture of continuous improvement. The team meets regularly and reviews every STEMI heart attack patient treated in the cardiac catheterization lab and identifies what worked well and what can be done better. Palomar Health reports all acute

heart attack case data to the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association’s registries as part of its quality improvement process. The awards also recognize Palomar Health for superior continuum of care. According to Palomar Health Director of Cardiovascular Services Peter Petropoulos RN, JD, Palomar Health ensures each patient has received exceptional care and a treatment plan to provide the best outcome when each is sent home. “We commend Palomar Health for this achievement award, which reflects a significant institutional commitment to the highest quality of care for their heart attack patients,” said James G. Jollis, MD, chair of the Mission: Lifeline Advisory Working Group. “By meeting the requirements set forth in the registry and establishing a culture of providing guideline-recommended therapy, Palomar Health is saving lives and improving outcomes of heart attack patients,” said Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH, FACC, Chair, ACTION Registry; executive director of Interventional Cardiovascular Programs, Brigham and Women’s Hospital Heart and Vascular Center; and professor of medicine, Harvard Business School. In 2016, Palomar Health Heart and Vascular Center treated 549 heart attack patients and performed 110 coronary artery bypass graft surgeries. For the 166 STEMI patients, the average time to receive treatment in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Palomar Health Escondido Medical Center was 58 minutes. More information about Palomar Health is at palomarhealth.org.

Court sets hearing on weapons charges BY NEAL PUTNAM A preliminary hearing for Sept. 18 was set for one Ramona man on weapons charges after his arrest in the 400 block of F Street. Jose Luis Solis, 30, has pleaded not guilty to three counts filed against him in El Cajon Superior Court. Sheriff’s deputies arrested seven people after serving a search warrant at 4 a.m. July 21 in response to complaints from neighbors about suspicious activity and people coming in and out of the house.

No felony charges were filed against the six other people who were released from jail. Three firearms were seized as well as drug paraphernalia. Solis is charged with possession of a short barreled shotgun, possession of a firearm by a felon, and being a person prohibited from possessing ammunition. An El Cajon Superior Court judge set bail at $50,000 for Solis, who posted bond and remains free. Solis has a 2007 conviction for auto theft, according to court records.

New parking regs start at high school In an email to Ramona High School families Friday evening, Assistant Principal Mike Ernst sent information about parking changes that were set to go into effect on the first day of school. The purpose of the new parking procedures is to enhance safety for everyone, he noted. Effective Aug. 21: • All student parking will be in the lot in front of the PAW (Performing Arts Wing) only. The AG gate off San Vicente Road will only be open for student drop-off and pickup but no parking. • Drop-off for students at the main entrance to the school, by the administration building, will only take place in the student

lot in front of the PAW. Drop-off will occur on the right side of the traffic cones and student parking will occur to the left of the traffic cones. • Staff parking lot is only for staff members; no drop-offs or pick-ups are permitted. Additionally, temporary fencing has been installed around the I-wing, which is where new permanent fencing will be installed in the near future. Visitor and handicapped parking will remain in the staff lot. • Pedestrian traffic will remain the same. Ernst’s email included photos to illustrate his points. He thanked families for their patience during campus improvements to ensure school safety.

Miller signs on for Warner golf course redesign Warner Springs Ranch Resort announced that it signed a deal with golf hall-of-famer and broadcaster Johnny Miller and his design group to make improvements to the resort’s golf course. The Johnny Miller Design Group “will provide expert knowledge on the redesign of select components, complementing the heritage and history of Warner Springs Ranch Resort,” said a statement. “After our first visit to the resort, my sons and I were intrigued by the opportunity to be part of this amazing property’s legacy,” said Miller. “We hope to host champion level events here once

the updates are complete.” Working with him are his sons, Johnny Miller, Jr. and Andy Miller. The Warner Springs Ranch Golf Club, 31652 state Route 79 in Warner Springs, was reopened in November 2015 after renovations and includes an 18-hole golf course, golf clubhouse and restaurant. Miller’s improvements to the golf course will begin immediately and visitors will start seeing enhancements later this year, according to the resort. Officials said the partnership could lead to the future creation of nine additional holes.

Among golf courses designed by Miller is Maderas Golf Club in Poway. In 2013, Pacific Hospitality Group Inc. acquired the historic Warner Springs Ranch Resort, which is now under the management of Warner Springs Ranch Resort LLC. Since then the resort has been undergoing phased renovations. It recently reopened 10 renovated historic cottages for overnight stays. The next phases will include an art gallery/studio featuring the works of local artists, more updated cottages, and reopening the hot springs pool complex.

Homeowner’s short-term rental lawsuit set for trial next year BY KAREN BRAINARD A lawsuit filed in December 2016 by a San Diego Country Estates homeowner living near a short-term vacation rental is scheduled for civil jury trial on April 27, 2018. San Diego Country Estates residents Tammy Rozelle and Sean Studley are plaintiffs in a complaint against Cheryl Williams, who rents out her house at 15115 La Plata Court on the Vacation Rental By Owner (VRBO) website. The trial date was set during a recent case management conference in San Diego Superior Court, but the court is referring the matter to mediation. If the parties want to mediate, the court-sponsored program is available for four months, otherwise it goes to trial, said attorney John Simpson of Simpson Delmore Greene LLP, who is representing the plaintiffs. Although Rozelle and Studley live two doors away from the rental, Simpson said that because

of the configuration of the backyards, they are most impacted by those renting the vacation home. Among their complaints are excessive noise, large groups of strangers, and parking issues. On the VRBO website, Williams’ house is listed as 4,195 square feet with five bedrooms sleeping 10 people, along with game room, pool, hot tub, and other amenities. The listing also says events are allowed. According to the complaint, the house has been rented to large groups for periods of three to 10 days. The complaint also states that the vacation rental violates the San Diego Country Estates’ Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) with excessive noise and disturbances, traffic, and harassment by some of the guests. One of the claims is that allowing Williams to operate a business out of the house violates the CC&Rs. SDCEA board members have said the CC&Rs

do not have distinct rules addressing this issue as they were written 40 years ago. Attorneys representing the association stated in a court document that Rozelle and Studley’s complaint “fails to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action against the SDCEA,” and that “damages allegedly sustained by plaintiff, if any, were either excessive, exaggerated, unreasonable, speculative, inflated or otherwise unnecessary and/or unrelated to the alleged incident.” The court document from Williams’ attorneys says that if the plaintiffs experienced damages their lack of notice prevented the defendants from taking measures to protect against the alleged conditions. Short-term rentals have been an issue that the City of San Diego has been grappling with in the past couple of years with residents complaining of living next to party houses and homeowners seeking to earn extra income from the rentals.

Online property tax auctions yield $7.8M for county The county of San Diego made $7.8 million in its two online property tax auctions this year, Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister announced. The county sold 648 properties that had been in tax default status for more than five years. “We credit much of the success to our new online platform, which allowed people all over the world to bid on a piece of paradise here in San Diego County,” McAllister said. The county held the auction online for the first time in May, and then conducted a second offering at the end of last month with about 1,000 leftover properties. Auctions were formerly conducted in-person at various venues, most recently the San Diego Convention Center. “In this second round of bidding, we got 340 more properties off our tax-defaulted list and into the hands of buyers,” McAllister said. “Those properties will once again start generating tax dollars for San Diego County.” Bidders bought eight improved properties such as houses or commercial buildings, 48 lots and 284 timeshares in the second auction, which generated $2.16 million. The initial round brought in a record $5.6 million.
