Improved intersection brings relief, motorists say
INSIDE
Ramona High’s 2017 Homecoming Game will be Friday night. 9
BY J. HARRY JONES Construction work at a key intersection in Ramona along state Route 67 — a highway that has long been one of the county’s most congested during rush hours — is nearing completion and appears to be doing what it was designed to do. California Department of Transportation has spent roughly $14 million in the past year reconstructing the SR-67 intersection at Highland Valley/Dye Road, just to the west of town. The traffic light at the intersection has been the source of much of the traffic backup as Ramona drivers and other backcountry commuters head to their jobs in the city in the morning and return in the late afternoon. The project widened Highway 67 from two lanes to four lanes in each direction at the intersection with a dedicated left turn lane, a dedicated right turn lane and two through lanes. The intersection has also been SEE INTERSECTION, A21

GRAPE STOMP CHAMPIONS
Toe Jammers team members Lane Yule and Lora Cicalo react after winning Semi Stomp No. 1 in stomp-off competition at the Ramona Grape Stomp on Saturday. Yule, the team’s swabber, holds the measuring cup showing how much juice Cicalo, the stomper, squished in two minutes from the grapes in the barrel. Winners of the first round of the stomp-off, the Toe Jammers beat five other two-member teams for the Semi No. 1 title and proceeded to out-stomp the team that later won Semi Stomp No. 2 to garner the title of 2017 Ramona Grape Stomp Champions. For more information and photos of Ramona’s first grape stomp, see page 18.
SR-67 channelizers may make some drivers dizzy Planner says he received two calls of concern BY KAREN BRAINARD The flexible yellow posts down the centerline of state Route 67 are not only proving to be of no value as far as preventing a head-on collision, but they are also becoming a hazard for some drivers, said a Ramona Community Planning Group member. Planner Jim Cooper said he received two phone calls from residents on Thursday, Sept. 7, the day of the planning group meeting, concerned about how the posts, known as SEE POSTS, A16
Planners debate removing road extensions from list BY KAREN BRAINARD Two longtime proposed road projects narrowly avoided being knocked off the draft 2017 Ramona Community Planning Group's road project priority list — at least for now, as overall approval was tabled by the group.
Planner Jim Cooper and the Transportation & Trails Subcommittee that he chairs have been working on updating the 2014 RCPG Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Road Priority List. That included reviewing road projects proposed by the Ramona
Community Revitalization Steering Committee and merging the two lists. Cooper presented the T&T recommendations to planners Sept. 7. Those recommendations included eliminating the Dye Road Extension and the Ramona Street Extension.
For a motion to pass, a minimum of nine yes votes were required from the 10 planning group members attending. Five members were absent: David Ross, Frank Lucio, Dan Scherer, Paul Stykel, and Rick Terrazas. Terrazas has resigned from the group SEE ROADS, A21

Student’s design raises $25,000 for ArtReach BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON design by Ramona Elementary sixth-grader Lilliana “Lilli” Hayes sparked $25,000 in Knockaround sunglass sales for ArtReach’s free Access to Art Program. Lilli was a fifth-grader when she created Peacock Life as part of Knockaround’s Class Acts design challenge to fourth- and fifth-graders in selected schools in the county. It was the fourth year Knockaround, a San Diego-based sunglass company, partnered with ArtReach, a nonprofit that provides up to 10 days of free artist-led instruction to Title I elementary schools that otherwise would not have a visual arts program. Before submitting their sunglass designs, 240 students from Ramona Elementary School and Iftin Charter School learned about the design process from professionals. Of all the designs submitted, Knockaround chose only one to be manufactured and sold, and that was Lilli’s purple, blue and green sunglasses that she said will make the wearer “shine in the sun.” “We saw a video about inspirations. It could be anything from a little speck in your house to the outdoors,” Lilli told

Ramonan to head Duncan Hunter’s D.C. office Congressman’s chief of staff to leave for Pentagon job BY CARL PRINE Ramona resident Rick Terrazas is U.S. Rep. Duncan D. Hunter’s new chief of staff for the congressman’s Washington D.C. office. He replaces Joseph “Joe” Kasper, who has accepted a job at the Pentagon. Terrazas had been district chief of staff for Hunter’s El Cajon office. Michael Harrison, also a Ramona resident, replaces Terrazas in the El Cajon office, where he had been deputy chief of staff. Terrazas submitted his resignation as a member of the Ramona Community Planning Group, it was announced at the group’s Sept. 7 meeting. Kasper, 36, had served as the Alpine Republican’s top aide since late 2014 after previously directing his communications and policy operations. With nearly 15 years spent on Capitol Hill, Kasper also served the congressman’s father and predecessor, Duncan Lee Hunter, as spokesman and legislation director. Terrazas and Harrison also worked for Duncan Lee Hunter and have at least 20 years of congressional experience. Kasper’s move will take effect Oct. 2. He will be a political appointee of President Donald Trump’s administration as assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition. FBI agents raided the office of Hunter’s
campaign treasurer in February, seeking evidence into allegations that Hunter misspent campaign dollars. A separate probe by the House Ethics Committee was looking into reports that Hunter converted campaign funds to pay personal expenses. Hunter repaid at least $60,000 and has denied any wrongdoing. “That had nothing to do with my decision,” said Kasper during a telephone interview with the Union-Tribune. “I’ve been with the Hunter family for almost 15 years and there are fewer dedicated public servants I’ve come across in that time than the Hunters. If anything, that situation was motivating me to stay because I wanted to see it to a successful conclusion.” Kasper declined further comment, except for his written farewell statement. A veteran of the U.S. Air Force and a graduate of the University of Connecticut, Kasper cited a series of high-profile policies he helped the younger Hunter craft, including military combat awards, defense procurement and hostage recovery. Like his father, Hunter serves on the House Armed Services Committee. Few lawmakers “allow for the responsibility and autonomy that I had,” Kasper said in his statement, thanking Hunter for his “confidence, respect and friendship.” SEE HUNTER, A16
Come take a Seek Peak before our Grand Opening!!
County commissioners approve church expansion BY JOE NAIMAN The county's Planning Commission voted 7-0 Sept. 8 to approve a major use permit modification to allow an expansion of Mountain View Community Church. The approval allows the addition of two 9,924-square-foot educational buildings, a 35,512-square-foot sanctuary, a pedestrian bridge, expansion of the lobby in the existing fellowship hall, replacement of the existing septic system with an on-site wastewater treatment system including a supplemental treatment system, and updated landscaping. Permeable paving material for the parking lot and additional landscaping to screen the new buildings from the view of neighbors and motorists were two conditions the commission added. Although some neighbors were concerned about the scope of the expansion, which will be done in four
phases, Commissioner Doug Barnhart said he appreciated that the expansion plan for the 12.9-acre property in the 1100 block of Meadowlark Way was comprehensive rather than in phases. "We're looking at a complete buildout of the land," he said. "It's going to grow at the pace of Ramona's growth," said Commissioner Bryan Woods. The initial permit was issued in January 1997. The condition that hours of operation are limited between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. each day is unchanged. One of the Zoning Ordinance changes since the initial permit was granted limits religious assemblies to six outdoor special events per calendar year, and that limit was included in the permit modification. The occupancy of the existing fellowship hall is limited to 500 seats due to the size and limitations of the existing septic system, and the church's three
services each weekend draw an average total of 700 to 800 worshippers, including about 500 adults. The new sanctuary would have 1,200 fixed seats. A traffic impact study predicted that the church expansion would add an average of 324 vehicle trips each weekday and 1,301 trips every Sunday, although traffic mitigation measures are included. One of those is a traffic signal at Ash Street and state Route 78. "A traffic signal is required to reduce the impact to less than significant," said county Department of Planning and Development Services Project Manager Marisa Smith. The church will also make Transportation Impact Fee payments to meet California Environmental Quality Act mitigation requirements. "With these two mitigation measures the project conforms to CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act)," Smith said.

COMMENTARY
Don’t be fooled by false ‘facts’ Take time to identify reliable sources BY CAROL TENNEBAUM n response to Gary Myers’ misleading and propagandizing commentary in the Sept. 7 Ramona Sentinel (Study Indivisible’s real goals), I did what he recommended. I vetted his commentary. George Soros, a philanthropist who was painted as a Nazi collaborator by Dr. Myers, was born in 1930. That would mean he was an 8-year-old child when Kristallnacht occurred. He would have been 11 years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed and the U.S. entered the War, 12 when the U.S. freed Paris, and 15 when Hitler committed suicide after the defeat of Germany. Please, Ramona neighbors, do your research before reacting to commentaries such as the one submitted by Myers. Such perpetuation of hoaxes and false information applies to other claims in tha commentary. It’s a simple thing to intentionally perpetuate a hoax in order to discredit an individual or associate that individual with a larger group in order to discredit a mass of people. It is also a simple thing to find facts. Searching the Internet for articles on George Soros will yield a plethora of information. Some will laud his significant philanthropy on behalf of organizations such as Planned Parenthood, Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Organization for Women, the Tides Foundation, and other organizations with similar/shared ideals. Other articles will vilify him for that same philanthropy. It all depends, of course, on the political perspective and personal values of the writer. The great and divisive differences that are abundant in our nation must not, however, be seen as justification of false narratives. We have to stand up to this. Read past the headlines! A productive first step toward reconciliation and hope for America is that we all take the time to identify reliable sources of information (also easily researched on the Internet). We mustn’t succumb to a dependency on those media outlets that we absolutely know in our hearts are taking advantage of angry and lazy information consumers. We are at risk as a nation when Truth is devalued in the interest of generating scorn and hatred. Carol Tennebaum, a retired educator, is a Ramona resident.

OUR READERS WRITE What is a life worth? Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017, the news of yet another death on state Route 67 in Ramona was reported, caused by a head-on collision between two vehicles. According to the article, one of the vehicles crossed through the yellow channelizer posts in the highway's center line. Although these posts are being installed to help prevent head-on collisions, it's painfully obvious that they do not do their intended job. This accident, along with those before, and those that will undoubtedly occur in the future, begs the question of what is a life worth? At one point, I believe there had been discussion of installing concrete K rails along the center divide on Highway 67. My recollection was that this idea was abandoned in favor of the "less expensive" yellow posts, a solution that does nothing to prevent or contain a vehicle crossing the center line for whatever reason. It would seem that those costs should be revisited in light of another death, and two families lives impacted: One, the family of the woman who died, and the other of the young man who fell asleep at the wheel and crossed the center line through the totally ineffective yellow plastic posts. What price should be put on a life, when it comes to public safety on a known dangerous road? Bill Williams Ramona
time in the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam. God love him even in his wayward thinking. He reminds me of a good friend of mine from high school. When we graduated in 1969, my friend’s mindset took him to Woodstock and mine took me to the Marine Corps and Vietnam. Our lives continued on those paths we had struck and we are 180 degrees apart in most of our views, but we are friends and can banter about it with each other all day and continue to be friends and respect each other. I miss seeing that today and I wonder why we all can’t respectfully disagree. When the time comes, vote your guys in. For right now, let’s eliminate our “tribe” mentality and bring our attitudes down a notch. Those of us who have lived through this before know it will burn out, but let’s speed it up a bit. Maybe Patterson will buy me a beer at the VFW and we’ll find a way to bring meaningfulness to this discussion. Tim Stanton Ramona
Time for a change When asked recently why he still supports President Trump, Congressman Duncan Hunter replied, "He's an asshole, but he's our asshole." To be sure, there's definitely something wrong with Hunter's demeanor as our representative. Not to mention the fraud investigation. Isn't it time for a change? Sandy Arsham Ramona

Nation’s reputation at stake
As I do every Thursday, I opened up the Ramona Sentinel to the commentary and letters section first. I lived a metropolitan life until 20 years ago when we moved to Ramona and I became acquainted with small town life and opinions. For most of the past year, when I opened this section of the paper, I was usually amused at the whining drivel of Susan Conrad and Peter Quercia. It seemed to have no end, but was always similarly themed. Similar, but different memes would come from David Patterson, but less often. I always disagree with him, but I respect him because I see him in town, giving back to the community, so how can you not love that. Also, he is said to have put in his
There comes a time when people of good conscience have to do the right thing, and how we react regarding the demise of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) will define us for a very long time. The reputation of our nation is at stake, defined by the following question: Is America a place where people exploit people for profit, no holds barred, or a place where we take care of each other? DACA provides legal protection for the approximately 800,000 foreign born children brought to the United States and raised as Americans.

FROM LETTERS, A4 cheap labor of those without legal immigration documents. From what I could see, virtually all aspects of our local economy were bolstered by the undocumented. People hired them to labor in their yards, businesses hired them for construction and real-estate folks and banks sold them homes while everyone in the chain stuffed their pockets. All the while the undocumented worked hard and raised their children as Americans, hoping that their kids would eventually be assimilated. Now we throw them and their kids under the bus. The message the world will get from this is that America is a place where we exploit people without conscience, money is the end game. The reputation of our nation and we as human beings is at stake. Will we allow America to be stained by greed, your kids and mine exploited forever? Dave Patterson Ramona
Opinion mirrors article Peter Quercia's Opinion Page letter about the 50-year anniversary of the Hippie Invasion was written very well, and gave me a double sense of deja vu, both in taking me back to those memorable years, and also to an article I previously read in the Aug./Sept. edition of the AARP Magazine written by Robert Love. The AARP article, aarp.org/politics-society/history/info-2017/ remembering-the-summer-of-love-50thanniversary.html , shares many similarities to Mr. Quercia's letter, and, in fact, some statements are, as they say in Latin, verbatim. Peter really should have given credit to Robert Love. It just
might have bolstered his credibility. David Morris Ramona
Promoting change Good old humanity. Truly a diversity university. And the Ramona Sentinel defined it so well with the choice of letters published in the Aug. 31 issue. Plants and animals are usually dependent on an unchanging environment. Don’t people, by managing their own environments, through their diversity promote change? And won’t it require change, as yet unimagined, to rescue life when, far down the road our planet, our world, has run its physical course? Edalee Orcutt Harwell Ramona P.S. I wish that the Sentinel would continue letters on page 5 instead of page 6 so that the interesting personal opinions could be saved for review and sharing on a single page, front and back.

and unfettered capitalism develop their ideas from what they know. That people have differing beliefs doesn’t mean anyone has been gaslighted, deceived, played by the media, or is the victim of a cabal. One of our freedoms as Americans is the right to contribute to organizations that are doing work we support. George Soros has the same right I do to donate to Planned Parenthood or any other organization. He just has a whole lot more money. And he’s not hiding behind a curtain either. His philanthropy in this country and around the world is well documented. The source of his wealth is appropriately controversial. Hedge fund managers as a group haven’t done the world any favors. They earn unimaginable amounts of income exploiting small differences in value through huge numbers of trades, treating the markets like a giant casino. The results for the rest of us can be devastating. How to Make a Million Dollars an Hour by Les Leopold is a very readable account of how this works. Soros himself said, “I’m a player and I think all players should be regulated. There have to be rules of the game.” As long as there aren’t, hedge fund managers will have the power to create disaster in the markets. One more thing: George Soros (b. 1930) was a child and young teenager in Hungary when he lived under a Christian identity to evade the Nazis. The trip with his godfather to inventory a Jewish estate that serves as the basis for collaboration charges is described in a biography by Michael Kaufman and referenced on snopes.com, the fact-checking website. He did not turn in fellow Jews, confiscate their property, or send anyone to the death camps. He was 14 years old at the time. Lark Burkhart Ramona
COMMENTARY
Bring on the air show
BY WAYNE JONES am sure that Mr. Patterson is very sincere, but he is very sincerely wrong — on every major point that he tried to make in his Commentary telling people not to attend the upcoming MCAS Miramar Air Show. Military air shows are extremely safe and very important to the well-being of this great nation. Public safety is the number one concern of every air show manager and participant. Accident rates have declined ever since the old “barnstorming” days and are now miniscule. You are far more apt to be struck by lightning than to be killed or even injured at an air show. Air shows allow the public to witness how their tax dollars are being spent and to be educated on current military capabilities. Are they good recruiting tools? Absolutely, and thank God! Today our armed forces are composed entirely of volunteers. (This is a serious policy mistake, which SEE JONES, A8

Community singing group starts fall rehearsals Ramona Community Singers kicked off the fall rehearsal season on Sept. 5 and will continue to meet Tuesdays from 7 to 8:45 p.m. in the Ramona Town Hall west wing. “Summer is ending, but the fun is just beginning for Ramona Community Singers,” said Gina Seashore, the group’s director.
New members are always welcome, said Seashore. Ability to read music is not a requirement and there are no auditions. Ramona Community Singers will present a Broadway Sing-along show in October and perform at community and holiday events. In its fourth year, the group sings music from a variety of
FROM JONES, A6 should be replaced with a minimum two-year mandatory tour in any of the armed forces for all able-bodied citizens. It would be of GREAT BENEFIT to both the citizenry and the nation in many ways.) With the growing complexity of the technology in our weaponry and the strategy and tactics of their use, the armed forces need to strongly compete more than ever with other professions for the best and brightest of our American youth. Should we be diminishing U.S. military strength in the dangerous world we live in? Absolutely not — just the opposite. All through history, the only thing tyrants and dictators have understood and have been deterred and defeated with is overwhelming military power and the will to use it when necessary. Lasting peace can only be maintained under the umbrella of such power. In past generations, if a majority of Americans thought like Mr. Patterson, he would no longer have the freedom to express his opinions, and we would all be speaking a different language under a dictatorship. There is still evil in the world, and our adversaries are quickly catching up with our once superior military capabilities. After years of benign neglect, the primary tools of

warfare used by all of our armed forces, with a few exceptions, are growing old and obsolete. Our nation spends a small percentage of our gross national product on national defense. It is time to upgrade and multiply our military might, and fast. Our free and democratic republic, the best the world has ever known, can never be defeated by external forces if we remain strong and resolute; it can only be brought down by complacency and rot from within that produces a false sense of security. And that is where Mr. Patterson comes in: his thinking, though well-intentioned, is ironically and unwittingly a clear and present danger to our national security. May his group forever be a tiny and insignificant influence in this country. So bring on the Miramar Air Show! All you freedom loving citizens GO and be amazed, educated and entertained while supporting our armed forces. The maneuvers you will see are really just advanced proficiency training for the participants doing the same things their compatriots in arms are doing daily on training ranges all over the country to maintain the expertise required to WIN WARS. God Bless America! Wayne Jones, a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, is a Ramona resident.
Dumanis files to run for county supervisor Former San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis ended months of speculation by filing paperwork announcing her intention to run for the county Board of Supervisors. Dumanis, a Republican, resigned in July after nearly 15 years as the county's district attorney, but months before her resignation she sent a letter to her office staff in which she said she was considering running for the Board of Supervisors. “To be clear, I have not decided if I will be a candidate or not,” Dumanis wrote in an April letter, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. “I believe my experience, and the critical role that the board plays in public safety and policy issues, would make me an effective member.” She said in that letter that part of her reason for resigning as district attorney was to “explore my potential candidacy.” On Tuesday, the San Diego County Registrar of Voters Office processed two forms filed by the 65-year-old Dumanis: her candidate intention statement and a statement of organization for the “Bonnie Dumanis for Supervisor 2018” committee. April Boling, board chair of the San Diego Regional Airport Authority and a S T A T E
O F
T H E
self-described taxpayer watchdog, was listed as the committee's treasurer. Dumanis is vying to replace Ron Roberts, who has served on the Board of Supervisors since 1994 but is leaving office due to term limits. The district has nearly twice as many registered Democrats as Republicans. Dumanis adds another big name to a growing field of candidates looking to replace Roberts that already includes former state Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, a Republican-turned-Democrat who is married to state Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez. Fletcher and Dumanis launched unsuccessful mayoral campaigns in the past. The others who have announced they'll run include attorney Omar Passons and retired San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Deputy Chief Ken Malbrough, both Democrats, and real estate adviser Marcia Nordstrom, a Republican. Dumanis, who was also a deputy district attorney and judge, beat incumbent Paul Pfingst to win election as district attorney in 2002, becoming the first openly gay head prosecutor in the country. She was re-elected three times, running unopposed in 2006 and 2010 and prevailing in the 2014 primary.

Win at San Pasqual prepares Dawgs for league play BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's football team improved its overall season record to 3-0 with a 41-7 victory Sept. 8 at San Pasqual. The Bulldogs will start Palomar League play on Homecoming Night this Friday at 7 against Rancho Bernardo. Ramona head coach Damon Baldwin considers the win over San Pasqual to be suitable preparation for the Bulldogs' league schedule. "We played a North County program. When you play a good North County program like San Pasqual that's pretty much what you're facing," Baldwin said. "Our kids played a phenomenal game, offensively and defensively executed the game plan. It was a great victory against a good football team." The Bulldogs lost two touchdowns on officiating calls disputed by Baldwin, and an independent third-party review confirmed that no holding took place on a play, which nullified a Ramona touchdown, and the Ramona ball carrier's knee was down prior to a fumble, which was ruled a turnover. "Our kids executed their job exactly the way we practiced all

Leonardo Seanez dislocated his elbow on a special teams play. Seanez will be off the field for the next six to eight weeks. Although Rancho Bernardo is winless so far this season, the Broncos have won the last three Palomar League championships. "Even though Rancho Bernardo's 0 and 3, they're still a very good-coached football team," Baldwin said.

Depleted Bulldogs compete Team to hold final match at Mustang Invitational before league opens
BY DAN BROWN Ramona High’s boys and girls cross-country teams competed in the Mustang Invitational at Rohr Park in San Diego on Saturday with three members of the girls team and four members of the boys team unable to compete. With three Ramona girls injured, the team placed eighth out of 12 schools in the tough Blue Division, which was the fastest girls race of the day. The top finisher for Ramona was sophomore Amy Brown, placing seventh out of 94 girls in her race with a time of 13:42 over the 2.2-mile course. She had the seventh fastest time of the day out of 526 girls in all races and a 35-second improvement from her time last year. Other top finishers include freshman Jennifer Hull, who placed 34th with a time of 14:54; sophomore Michael Meskell, 53rd with a time of 15:14; and sophomore Alyssa Davis, 58th with a time of 15:32. Ramona’s fifth finisher was senior Madison Huckey, 59th with a time of 15:34, a 1:22 improvement from this

BY JOE NAIMAN A Sept. 20 visit to Mission Vista High School will be the girls volleyball team’s final non-tournament match before opening Valley League play Sept. 27 at San Pasqual. Coach Connie Halfaker plans to use the remainder of pre-league competition to eliminate mistakes such as those that cost the Bulldogs the Sept. 8 match at San Dieguito Academy. The four-game loss to San Dieguito gave the Bulldogs a 9-3 season record. Ramona had five serving aces and 16 serving errors with 81 percent of the serves in bounds. "That basically tells the story right there," Halfaker said. "When you miss serve after serve, that's a matter of focus. That's definitely something that we're going to have to get a different mindset about." The 2017 Bulldogs previously adjusted to mental mistakes that cost them games if not matches. Their 8-1 record the previous week included a four-game

Prep Girls Volleyball win Aug. 29 at home against Olympian and a 7-1 record in the Sept. 1 and 2 Las Vegas Invitational tournament. The Bulldogs won their three pool play matches the first day of the tournament but lost their initial Sept. 2 match in two games. "Came out very, very flat," Halfaker said. That loss to Skyline High School of Salt Lake City was followed by a two-game win over Carson High School in the Nevada state capitol of Carson City. That set up a match against Shadow Ridge of Las Vegas in which a two-game win would have given Ramona one of the top four spots in the tournament. The Mustangs had a 4-0 lead in game two and won the second set. "We could not recover those 4 points," Halfaker said. Ramona settled for a three-game victory over the Mustangs, but the loss of that
set placed the Bulldogs into the bracket for ninth through 12th place. Ramona's two ensuing victories gave them ninth place for the 36-team tournament. "The problem was when we needed to get it done we did not buckle down and do it," Halfaker said. "That was a lesson that we were hoping was going to stick with them. We've been focusing on that, we've been working on that." The application of that lesson was at La Jolla's expense when Ramona traveled to the Vikings' court for a Sept. 6 match. Ramona's 25-19, 25-17, 25-21 victory included a 15-15 score during the second game. "From that point we turned it on," Halfaker said. Ramona's serving against La Jolla included 12 aces, only six serving errors, and 90 percent of serves in bounds. SEE MATCH, A14

All Star Physical Therapy opens in Ramona BY KAREN BRAINARD Passionate about delivering exceptional care, All Star Physical Therapy Inc. has branched out to East County to open a clinic in Ramona. The new physical therapy clinic opened July 5 at 1338 Main St. in the Sun Valley Shopping Center and is one of All Star's 19 locations in Southern California. "They started in Fallbrook in 1985," said Susan Kenyon, director of All Star's Ramona clinic. "Three physical therapists and an occupational therapist got together and decided to run a company the way they thought a company ought to be run. They thought it could be done ethically and still be profitable and it turns out they were right." From a treating therapist point of view, Kenyon said she really likes the fact All Star
therapists see no more than two patients per hour instead of trying to squeeze in more patients, which could reduce the amount of care a patient receives. Kenyon, a 21-year Ramona resident, said she became a physical therapist because she wanted to help people. While she initially considered a nursing career, Kenyon said she found physical therapists actually have more hands-on time with patients, working with them to reach their goals. Those goals could be golfing again, getting back to maintaining a vineyard, or being able to play on a computer. "And being able to help them reach their goals is very rewarding," she said. Common problems that bring patients are knee replacements, shoulder injuries, ankle injuries, low back pain, whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome, and gait and balance. Inside the new clinic is a large waiting room, a gym/treatment area, and three private therapy rooms. There are three TVs, including one in the waiting room, to keep patients occupied. Among the equipment is an elliptical machine that Kenyon said is great to help people get rid of a limp, treadmills with TV
KAREN BRAINARD
Susan Kenyon, director of All Star Physical Therapy, and Leticia Fuentes, office manager, both Ramona residents, welcome patients to their new clinic at 1338 Main St. screens, arm and leg stationary bicycles, and a pitching rebounder. There is also a trampoline, which can help with balance and stability. Kenyon said the trampoline is great for someone who's had an ankle fracture and wants to get back to jogging. They can begin jogging on the trampoline to gain the confidence to move on to a track. "It's low impact," she said. After receiving a doctor's prescription for a patient's physical therapy, Kenyon regularly sends progress reports to the doctor during treatment. The therapists check baseline range of motion and baseline strength on the first visit and follow up with measurements throughout the treatment. If the therapists
believe more treatments are needed, they let the doctor know. "We always stay in touch with the doctor," Kenyon said. The director said some people who see a doctor down the hill do not realize they can take their physical therapy prescription to a local provider. Doctors can fax the physical therapy prescription directly to All Star, she said. "It's just great to be able to offer this service to people here," said Kenyon. All Star Physical Therapy also accepts a variety of insurance, including Kaiser Permanente, Medicare, Tricare, United Health SEE THERAPY, A16

NEWS BRIEFS Homecoming Ramona High School’s Homecoming football game is Friday, Sept. 15, against Rancho Bernardo High, and the Homecoming Dance will be Saturday night. The Homecoming Assembly will be from 9 to 10:15 a.m. on Friday, and the Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned at 6:30 p.m. at Bulldog Stadium before the varsity game starts at 7. Because of the early date of this year’s homecoming, Coming Home Night, an annual event the school started after the Witch wildfire in 2007, will not be held this year. The homecoming game, originally scheduled for Oct. 6, was rescheduled to Sept. 15 because the district had scheduled a Staff Development Day for Oct. 6, which will be a non-school day for students.
Sabbath services Congregation Etz Chaim will hold Sabbath services on Friday, Sept. 15, at 7.30 p.m. in the Rotunda of San Diego

Head coach Sherri Edwards said the team competed well despite missing key runners with injuries. Edwards hopes that Cameron Klein returns this week from a broken toe. Klein was Ramona’s top 2-miler in track last season. “We were resting varsity runners Mitchell Sutter and Lexi Waples this week, hoping they will be able to return to racing soon,” said

"We just basically served them off the court," Halfaker said. Sierra Adkins had four serving aces with no errors . Amanda Donais had three aces and no serving errors. McKenna Marshall had 13 kills against the Vikings with four hitting errors. Gracie Seits had 10 kills and no errors. "That's a very strong offensive showing," Halfaker said. A player's passing average is based on the number of options a pass gives the setter with three options being perfect. Marshall had a passing average of 2.2 and Adkins had a 2.1 passing average. "That is really positive as well," Halfaker said. Jilian Martin set for 30 assists. Adkins led the team with 13 digs. Marshall, Donais and Alyssa Travis shared the team lead with two blocks apiece. "That was overall a very strong match," Halfaker said. San Dieguito obtained 25-19 victories in the first two sets. Ramona avoided a sweep with a 25-15 triumph in the third game, but the Mustangs sealed the match with a 25-22 win. "I believe the girls will not drop this kind of focus again," Halfaker said. "I believe they will recognize and become focused early."
Edwards. Edwards was pleased with the performances of several runners. “In particular I was impressed with Amy (Brown), Jennifer (Hull), Michaela (Meskell), Jack (Clough), Gavin (Roche) and Shawn (McClure),” she said. “They all had great races.” Edwards hopes both teams have more of their runners back for the Sundevil Invitational at Morley Field this Saturday. It is the largest invitational in San Diego with over 100 teams competing from different areas of California and Arizona.

Knockaround Founder and CEO Adam Moyer sends Lilli Hayes a congratulations note. FROM DESIGN, A2 on its feather and its feather design for the sides and the front, and I came up with the idea for Peacock Life.” Since she was a little girl, she wanted to be a designer, Lilli said, “and this really made me feel that I am getting closer to my goal.” While she said she feels great about having her design selected, Lilli added, “I don’t take it as a popularity thing, but I honestly feel like a better person myself.” Adam Moyer, Knockaround’s founder and CEO, has said he would be nowhere in his life if it weren’t for the arts, Diane Dechaine, Lilli’s fifth-grade teacher, said. “ArtReach is art in elementary schools,” said Dechaine. “They’ve been coming to Ramona Elementary since 2009 through grants and funding.” ArtReach is part of ArtWalk, an annual fine art festival held in
FROM POSTS, A1 channelizers, affect them while they are driving. “One of them said the channelizers are making them seasick. As they drive the road they’re beginning to get nauseous and they’re concerned that the channelizers are reacting somehow or another with them,” said Cooper. The other caller told him that flashing from the channelizers was making him dizzy “and he said it appeared to be a time of the day issue where the sun was bouncing off of them,” said Cooper. After years of community concerns about vehicles crossing over the centerline of state Route 67 and causing head-on collisions that have produced fatalities, Caltrans proposed the channelizers as a visual barrier and safety
FROM HUNTER, A3 “I know Hunter and I have fought hard over the years — and I’m leaving knowing together we’ve had an impact,” Kasper wrote. Kasper also thanked Hunter’s father for hiring him as a “young upstart” in 2004, following a stint as a post-college Capitol Hill intern. “I’m proud to call him a mentor and a friend,” Kasper added. "Congressman Hunter has always supported his staff when they receive new opportunities, even if it means

The 2017 event featured Lilli’s Peacock Life Knockarounds that sold for $20. Dechaine, who has known ArtReach Executive Director and Co-founder Judy Berman Silbert for about 20 years, submitted the application that brings the program to Ramona Elementary fourth- and fifth-graders each year. “Judy and the ArtReach team immediately recognized that
though the need was great on Ramona Elementary’s campus, the students brimmed with curiosity, eagerness to create, and a thirst for turning art skills into original work,” Theresa Grace, Ramona Unified’s assistant superintendent of education services, wrote in a report to the school board.

measure. In the past few weeks, crews have been installing channelizers in a 10-mile stretch of SR-67’s median, from Willow Road in Lakeside to Shady Oaks Drive in Ramona. “So just to be on record, the channelizers have been run over twice now since they’ve been installed,” said planner Casey Lynch. One of those times was a head-on collision that resulted in a fatality. On Aug. 30, a pickup truck driven by a 19-year-old Ramonan who said he fell asleep, crossed the centerline just south of Cloudy Moon Drive in Poway, striking a car driven by a 33-year-old El Cajon woman. She was airlifted to the hospital but died the next day. Cooper asked that concerns of the channelizers and the impact to drivers be

According to a Caltrans spokesperson, plans call for installing the channelizers after reconfiguration of striping is completed at that location. That includes creating a left-turn pocket on southbound 67 at Cloudy Moon, she said. According to Caltrans, the total cost for the project, which includes three Changeable Message Signs with Closed Circuit Television cameras along the highway and the addition of high friction surface in some areas, is $7.15 million, funded through the State Highway Operation and Protection Program.
they will be leaving his office,” said Harrison in an emailed statement to the Ramona Sentinel. “Joe Kasper is very well qualified for this political position at the Pentagon and Congressman Hunter was supportive and helpful all along the process, which took several months. Unfortunately, some media outlets ... saw this more as an opportunity to put out a story that was critical of Congressman Hunter and creating the implication that Joe was leaving the office as a result of issues that had no bearing on the situation. These stories also failed to mention that
the new chief of staff in Washington has over 20 years with the office and the chief of staff in the district has over 23 years with the office. The high level of service on which our constituents deserve and have come to rely remains a top priority for Congressman Hunter and he is confident that this high standard will continue to be upheld." Ramona is among communities Hunter represents in the 50th Congressional District. Carl Prine writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune. Karen Brainard contributed to this article.

rganizers of the first Ramona Grape Stomp didn’t hear one negative comment, said Kim Lasley, event chair and Ramona Rotary Club president. “It was a huge success,” she said. The final tally of proceeds won’t be known until the three groups staging the event hold a meeting the end of September or beginning of October, but the silent auction raised a little
over $2,500, said Lasley, who estimated that at least 400 people attended. The grape stomp competition attracted enthusiastic two-member teams of stompers and swabbers to see who could squish the most grapes and create the most juice in two minutes. Teams had a variety of unique names such as Let’s Be Franc, Pain in the Glass, Salty Pretzels and Rainbow Stomps. After initial winners

They will split the proceeds.

RAMONA SENTINEL - SEPTEMBER 14, 2017 - PAGE A21
FROM ROADS, A1 to work in Congressman Duncan Hunter’s D.C. office. After Cooper presented a comprehensive review of the Dye Road Extension that included costs and potential negative impacts, he made a motion to remove it from the CIP list. The motion failed 7-3 with Torry Brean, Kristi Mansolf and Scotty Ensign voting no. When Cooper did the same with the Ramona Street Extension, planner Donna Myers recused herself because she lives in the impacted area. That left nine voting members. The motion failed 7-2 with Brean and Ensign voting no. Brean and Ensign said they would like to hear a report from county staff about those two road projects and suggested addressing it at the next meeting, Oct. 5. “I’m not ready to throw it out yet,” said Brean about the Ramona Street Extension. The controversial project that would extend Ramona Street from Boundary Avenue to Warnock Drive has gone through four designs over the years as more problems have surfaced, said Cooper. “What problem is this solving?” Cooper said, noting that he has independently studied the project since 2008. According to Cooper, the easement for the extension first appeared on a map submitted to the county by the Santa Maria Land and Water Company in 1890. “But the important thing to notice in this case is that the grid in this area continues in a straight line with no accommodation to topography,” he said. The extension would bisect a steep hill, he said, and one of the plans would create steep ramps for the driveways along what is now a private dirt road. The initial cost in 2004 was $3.5 million, said Cooper. The first plan was scrapped when it was discovered
FROM INTERSECTION, A1 reconfigured to accommodate a wider turn radius needed by commercial trucks. Highland Valley Road to the north and Dye Road to the south, which also has routinely experienced long backups during commuting hours, have been widened to allow for second left turn lanes onto the highway. Caltrans spokeswoman Cathryne Bruce-Johnson said that as soon as new lanes opened in July, the traffic relief was immediate. “Caltrans forecasts that the completed improvements will reduce commuter delay through the intersection by at least 80 percent,” Bruce-Johnson said. Casey Lynch, a member of the Ramona Community Planning Group, makes the trip from his office in San Diego to Ramona every workday evening. “It’s probably saving me 15 minutes or more,” he said. “It used
that the City of San Diego has a 36-inch aqueduct about half the length of the proposed site. Three other plans designed by county Department of Public Works (DPW) include addressing concerns over residents’ line of sight and a large granite outcropping below the surface that would need to be blasted. After plan 4, Cooper said the county had spent $885,300 on development and preliminary engineering for all the plans. DPW estimates the 1,700-foot long project will cost $6.5 million and its April CIP status report schedules design completion in 2022 and construction completion in 2024. Brean said he has been in favor of the project for the circulation element. “All of our roads are so heavily impacted,” he said. Carol Fowler, who chairs the revitalization committee’s economic development, said the extension would help access to Main Street businesses. Also recommended for removal is the Dye Road Extension, known as the Phase 2 of the South Bypass. It would smooth out the two 90-degree turns at Dye Road and Ramona Street and at Ramona Street and Warnock Drive. Cooper said it was considered necessary for a safer roadway but his investigations showed that fatal accidents that occurred on that stretch were not at the 90-degree turns. Fowler disputed that finding. Cooper said smoothing out the turns will lead to increased speeds. "In fact the project is called the San Diego Country Estates freeway by many," he said. Cooper also said there is the potential to degrade the quality of the environment in that area. He estimated the county has spent at least $150,000 on initial planning and engineering studies since 2003, and it will cost about $52,000 "just to maintain this project on the books."
DPW has calculated that the 1.2-mile improvement will cost $16.52 million. Ensign said there are fences that are continually knocked down by vehicles at the turns. Member Casey Lynch said the group should force the county to do better planning. "I think this is a waste of money," he said. Brean said he has trouble taking the project off the list. "Those corners are dangerous. I've lived here my whole life and I know it,” he said. Cooper commented that there is a better solution but it wasn't for discussion. Cooper also recommended removing the Dye Street project, referred to as Phase 1 of the South Bypass, from the CIP list. That was supposed to resolve congestion at the Route 67/Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection. Phase 1 would begin at Mussey Grade Road and Route 67 and extend eastward along the route of Dye Street to tie into Dye Road south of Landsdown Lane, said Cooper. "It appears this newly completed intersection construction … has done wonders to better manage the traffic flow at this intersection during all hours,” said Cooper. Fowler said the community needs to plan for the future and listed several planned residential developments. "Eventually that road is going to bottleneck at that intersection again," she said. Planner Richard Tomlinson said Phase 1 would create a messy intersection with another traffic signal. Lynch added that removing it from the list just means it’s not a priority and the group could bring it back at any time. Planners unanimously voted to take it off the CIP list. In a series of motions, the planners also unanimously voted to:
Keep 14 road projects from the 2014 CIP List • Road improvement for alleyway between Main and D streets, from Fifth to 11th streets • Sidewalk and pathway on east side of Ramona Street from Boundary Avenue to Hanson Lane • Slope and drainage improvement on Mussey Grade Road • Drainage improvement at Arena Drive and Benito Way • Road improvement on San Vicente Road from Wildcat Canyon Road to San Diego Country Estates limit • Road improvement on Etcheverry Street from Hunter Street to state Route 67 • Provide school safety element on Boundary Street to Etcheverry Street • Bridge on 13th Street over Santa Maria Creek • Road improvement on 13th Street from Route 67 to Walnut Street • Sidewalk and pathway on south side of Hanson Lane from Ramona Street to San Vicente Road • Road improvement on Creelman Lane from San Vicente Road to Keyes Road • Road improvement on Kelly Avenue from Pala Street to Etcheverry Street • Intersection improvement at 14th Street and Route 67 • Intersection improvement at Montecito Road and Route 67 Add four road projects • Curbs, gutters and sidewalks on both sides of D Street from Ninth to 13th streets • Curbs, gutters and sidewalks on B Street between Fifth and 10th streets • Road improvement on Vermont Street from Pala to Etcheverry streets • Road improvement on H Street from 10th to Ramona streets Delete three from the list that are completed or near completion • San Vicente Road from Warnock Drive to Wildcat Canyon Road • Traffic signal at 10th and H streets • Intersection improvement at SR-67 and Highland Valley/Dye roads
to take me an hour to get from Kearny Mesa to Ramona and now sometimes I’m home in 40 minutes.” On a visit to the intersection at 5 p.m. last Tuesday, and then again a half-hour later, traffic appeared to be heading into Ramona far smoother than it has for years. The usual backup began 2-1 ⁄ 2 miles west of the intersection where the highway narrows from two lanes to one just past Mt. Woodson. But the flow of vehicles picked up again quickly on Tuesday evening and motorists were able to get into town in less than 10 minutes. All of the major construction was completed in July but partial road closures are still in effect during the night hours for final striping and other work, including the installation of underground vehicle detection wiring at the intersection to allow the traffic lights to operate more efficiently according to what
type of backup exists. Some regular commuters say they have seen a marked improvement in traffic flow recently, but also complain that as the highway goes quickly from the new two-lane in each direction configuration back to one lane, many unsuspecting drivers have narrowly missed accidents as they quickly try to merge. In the past week, striping and warning signs about the merge have been erected to address that problem. Construction at the intersection began in May 2016. Funding was provided through the State Highway Operation and Protection Program, San Diego County Transportation Impact Fees and TransNet funds. All work except landscaping is expected to be finished by the end of the month. An unrelated Caltrans project also along state Route 67 has recently added “flexible channelizer posts” in the
median of parts of the highway all the way from Lakeside to Ramona. The yellow posts won’t stop a vehicle from crossing into the opposing lane of traffic, but are designed to be a visual barrier for motorists, in hopes of reducing head-on collisions, which have plagued the highway for years. It has cost $3.6 million to install thousands of the yellow, waist-high posts in the median. The entire project, which is nearing completion, has a total price tag of $7 million, which includes funding for several other improvements including fixed message signs to alert motorists to traffic problems ahead, high-friction surface treatments to help tires stick better to the road in adverse weather conditions and the construction of rumble strips along the shoulders of the highway.

Historic trail opens Weekend of Wine Tasting benefits breast cancer fight for tours this fall Usually closed to the public, Old Survey 97 Road will be open for docent-led tours from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays this fall. This is an opportunity for hikers and equestrians to visit the historic trail taken by General Stephen Kearney and Kit Carson on Dec. 6, 1846, on their way from Ramona to the battle of San Pasqual. Tours will begin Sept. 16 for equestrians. Dates of other horseback tours are: Sept. 30, Oct. 14 and 28, and Nov. 11. Hikes for groups of 15 to 25 people are scheduled for Sept. 23, Oct. 7 and 21, and Nov. 4 and 18. The six-mile round trip tour starts at 1800 Rangeland Road. Parking along Rangeland Road will be monitored by county park rangers. To sign up for the tours, call park rangers at 760-788-3326 or the county parks reservation desk at 877-565-3600. The trail was dedicated as Old Survey 97 Road, the first county road in San Diego County, in 1857. The upper three miles of Old Survey 97 is near Highland Hills in an area formerly known as the Guildred property and is in the northwest section of the county’s Ramona Grasslands Preserve. The road/trail provides views of Santa Maria Valley and San Pasqual Valley to San Diego Zoo Safari Park and Escondido, much like it was in 1846, said the county’s announcement. Wildlife, birds, vegetation and geology of the area will be discussed and viewed during the hikes.
Eight Ramona Valley wineries will open their tasting patios for a Weekend of Wine Tasting to fight breast cancer. All proceeds from the Sept. 30 through Oct. 1 event will go the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for Team Ramona Beauties, whose members include Vikki Dancan, Teresa Hanvey and Dani Norman, all with Ramona Beauty Supply & Salon. This is the 13th year the three women will walk 60 miles from the Del Mar Fairgrounds to downtown San Diego in the 3-Day. The 2017 walk will be from Nov. 17 to 19. To participate, each walker must raise at least $2,300. Rather than hold a wine tasting fundraiser in the beauty shop as they have done at least eight previous years, the Ramona Beauties encourage supporters to “Sip & Save” at the eight wineries. For a $50 donation, supporters will receive a wine glass and a map to the eight participating wineries, where they will receive free tastings at their leisure during the designated weekend. Tickets are available at Ramona

John and Arvie Degenfelder celebrate their 69th wedding anniversary.
Arvie and John Degenfelder, Ramona residents since 1974, celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary with family and friends at a party this summer at their home. Married in Wilshire United Methodist Church on June 12, 1948, they met the night before Arvie was to start classes at Occidental College. She was 18. He was 19. A young man Arvie had met at a party called her to ask if he could visit. He called back to say that his car didn’t work and asked if he could bring a friend who had a working vehicle and would drive. John was the friend.
“It was pretty quick,” said Arvie. “We met in September and married in June.” Arvie, 88, and John, 89, have six children, 15 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren, with two more expected in March. They owned and operated Aim Kilns at Fourth and Main streets, shipping kilns around the world while serving the community. A former Ramona Unified School District Board member, Arvie started the Town Hall Players community theater group, was instrumental in bringing the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps to Ramona High School and
the performing arts center to the middle school, and operated Ramona Council of the Arts, Unlimited, a not-for-profit organization that offered visual and performing arts classes and activities. John, a former chairman and member of the Ramona Community Planning Group, founded the Ramona Trails Association, started the Sheriff’s Volunteer Mounted Patrol, and served on the San Diego County Parks and Recreation Advisory Group. He and Arvie remain active with the Ramona Trails Association.

County teachers of year to be selected Saturday Mt. Woodson Elementary transitional kindergarten and kindergarten teacher Ashli Krainock is among 44 San Diego County teachers who will be honored Saturday in the 27th Annual Cox Presents: A Salute to Teachers that will be televised live on Cox Channel 4 and 1004 at 8 p.m. and also streamed on salutetoteachers.com. Each of the nominees was recognized by their districts as teachers of the year during the 2016-17 school year and are nominees for San Diego County Teacher of the Year. The glamorous Academy Awards-style show, brought to the public by San Diego County Credit Union, will be televised live from the Balboa Theatre in downtown San Diego. “Cox Presents: A Salute to Teachers” recognizes the county’s 22,000 public school teachers, and features musical and dance performances leading up to the announcement of the five County Teachers of the Year, who will represent the region while vying for California Teacher of the Year honors. For 27 years, Cox Communications has produced and televised “Cox Presents: A Salute to Teachers” to honor San Diego County’s public school teachers for their commitment to teaching, learning and their students. Dennis Morgigno and Kyra Phillips will return as co-hosts. Morgigno is an award-winning veteran San Diego broadcast journalist. Phillips, a San Diego native, is an award-winning correspondent
for the CNN investigative and documentary units, and a graduate of Helix High School in La Mesa. Student performances during the show will include show choirs from Lakeside Middle and Carlsbad High schools, and San Diego Christian Youth Theater’s cast of “The Lion King.” Krainock wanted to be the athletic trainer for the NBA’s Detroit Pistons, but changed her focus to teaching after mentoring at-risk youth at her elementary school. After almost two decades on the job, she is nicknamed “The Kid Whisperer” by her peers and has been trained in brain development to help troubled students succeed. After seeing her results, her colleagues enrolled in the training themselves and now use similar strategies for the benefit of all the school’s students. The top five teachers are selected based on student achievement, professional development and community involvement, teaching philosophy and personal style; knowledge of educational issues and trends’ promotion and development of the teaching profession; accountability, and ability to serve as ambassadors of education. Additional show sponsors include The Super Dentists, the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, Procopio, Anthem Blue Cross, University of Phoenix, Colorado State University Global, Entravision, Turner and KUSI.
Single-family home prices stall in August City News Service—The trend of increasing prices and lower sales totals for single-family homes in the region stalled last month, according to data from the San Diego Association of Realtors. The median price of a house in August was $610,000, about $5,000 less than in July. Meanwhile, 2,153 houses sold last month, or 49 more than the month before. The region’s real estate market has been hamstrung by declining inventory over the past year or so despite continued high demand, meaning rising prices but fewer sales. The trend was illustrated in the year-over-year figures, with the median price of a house that changed hands up 8 percent in August from the same period in 2016, and the number changing owners declining by 6
percent. For attached homes like condominiums or townhouses, the median sales price in August was $400,000, down $5,000 for the month and but up $25,000 since August of last year. SDAR said 1,095 condos sold last month, down 3 percent from the month before and 11 percent below the same month in 2016. “Home sales tend to cool off ahead of a new school year, but in this market deals can be made well into the school months,'' said Bob Kevane, SDAR president. The most expensive residential property sold in San Diego County last month was a remodeled 2,300-square-foot beach cottage on the bluffs in Del Mar, for $10 million. The 1948 home has two bedrooms and three bathrooms.
