Recreational use of marijuana poses problems, says Hartman Voters to decide on Nov. 8 BY KAREN BRAINARD On Nov. 8 California voters will decide whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use through Proposition 64. Known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, Prop 64 would allow persons age 21 and older to legally grow, possess and use marijuana for non-medical purposes, and to purchase it at state-licensed businesses or through delivery services. The measure calls for the state to regulate the businesses and impose taxes on the growing and selling of pot. As with medical marijuana dispensaries, such businesses would need to be routinely inspected by law enforcement. That will require more resources
from the sheriff's department, said Lt. Jerry Hartman of the sheriff's Ramona station. He is not in favor of the measure. “It’s not good for all the communities,” he said. “It’s not good for the state.” The state anticipates it would raise hundreds of millions of dollars to $1 billion annually in tax revenue that it would allocate for various programs related to marijuana such as studies evaluating the effects of the measure and the risks and benefits of medical marijuana; creating methods to determine if a driver is impaired by pot; youth programs for substance use disorder education, prevention and treatment; and cleaning up environmental damage from illegal pot growing.

BY KAREN BRAINARD Nine-hole disc golf and 15 horseshoe pits built to tournament standards could be coming to Wellfield Park, also known as Ramona Community Park. The project, championed by Jim Cooper, would be built along Elm Street to the north of Santa Maria Creek and Ramona Girls Softball fields, and is proposed for Park Lands Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) funds. Cooper presented his plans to the Ramona Community Planning Group of which he is a member. The project replaces his previous plans for an amphitheater and active recreational area in the park that would have included disc golf, horseshoe pits and a children’s playground. “That failed because there was a study done that identified Southern scrub oak in the top portion of the (natural-designed) amphitheater area,” he said, adding that would have required using a mitigation bank for the scrub oak and costing $350,000. With $150,000 in additional costs, Cooper said he could not in good conscience ask for $500,000 in PLDO funds. Cooper said he returned the $150,000 earmarked for that project to Ramona’s PLDO SEE PARK, A22

First responders tend to the injured driver of a pickup truck involved in a head-on crash on Vista Ramona Road on Monday.
Ramona woman, 21, dies in collision Racheal Guarneros-Callahan, 21, of Ramona died and three others, including two children, were injured in a head-on crash at Vista Ramona Road and Woods Hill Lane near Old Julian Highway just before 4:30 p.m. Monday. Guarneros-Callahan, driving a 2012 Nissan Altima, was westbound on Vista Ramona Road on her way home from work when an eastbound 2003 Ford F-250 pickup truck driven by a 50-year-old Ramona man crossed the solid double yellow lines, striking the Nissan head on, reported California Highway Patrol Officer Kevin Pearlstein. The sole occupant in the vehicle, she died on impact, he said. In the truck were the man’s two children, a 4-year-old boy who was not
properly restrained in a car seat in the middle rear seat, and a 5-year-old girl in a booster seat in the right front of the pickup, said Pearlstein. The boy was ejected from his car seat through the rear window of the pickup and landed in the truck bed, suffering life-threatening injuries, according to the report. He was airlifted to Rady Children’s Hospital. The 5-year-old suffered moderate injuries and was taken by ambulance to Rady’s. The driver of the pickup suffered major injuries including a broken back and was transported to Palomar Medical Center, said Pearlstein. The accident is under investigation and the driver of the truck is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol
and/or drugs, said the CHP officer. Witnesses said the engine of the Nissan caught fire and they threw dirt on the flames before a sheriff’s deputy arrived and used a fire extinguisher. Guarneros-Callahan was a lifelong Ramona resident. Family members ask that donations in her name go to MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and to an organization benefiting childhood diabetes education and research, a cause they said she supported. A viewing will be at Bonham Bros. & Stewart Mortuary, 321 12th St., on Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. A celebration of her life will be held in Mountain View Community Church, 1191 Meadowlark Way, at 2 p.m. on Friday.

Caltrans continues Route 67 intersection project Conducts one-way traffic on Dye this week Construction crews have been conducting daytime lane closures with one-way traffic control this week on Dye Road at the intersection of state Route 67 while lighted beacons and traffic signal foundations are installed. Caltrans scheduled the one-way traffic control from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 12 through Sept. 16. Brief delays could result and motorists in the area are advised to allow additional travel time, said Hayden Manning with Caltrans. Caltrans has adjusted the traffic signal timing at the intersection to help improve traffic flow. "We will continue to monitor the location and
make additional adjustments as needed," Manning said in his construction update. Caltrans partnered with the County of San Diego on the $14 million intersection project designed to improve traffic flow and safety and to better accommodate equestrian and pedestrian uses. SR-67 will be widened from two lanes to four lanes through the intersection, and the intersection will be reconfigured for a wider turn radius that commercial trucks need. Dye Road and Highland Valley Road will be widened approaching the intersection to allow a second left-turn lane onto the highway. Also, bike lanes will be added on the shoulders, and
an equestrian trail will be added on the northerly side of both roads. Other improvements will include push-button pedestrian crossings, upgraded drainage and concrete curbs that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The project began this spring and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2018, according to the project Fact Sheet. The Caltrans Public Information Office may be contacted at 619-688-6670 with questions or to be added to the project stakeholder list to receive updates. "We appreciate the continued patience of the Ramona community during construction of the intersection improvements," Manning said in the Sept. 9 update.
Pomerado Hospital has new chief administrator BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Pomerado Hospital has a new chief administrator, one of two new vice presidents at Palomar Health that district officials announced on Sept. 1. Registered Nurse Jeannette Skinner is new to the public Jeannette hospital district. She Skinner started as vice president of the Poway-based Pomerado Hospital on July 18, moving
here from Tampa, Fla., where she was the administrator for Shriners Hospitals for Children. There Skinner was responsible for the strategic and operational oversight of all hospital activities, staff development and physician relations, according to officials. Other positions she has held include being the chief executive officer of Wuesthoff Medical Center in Melbourne, Fla., and CEO of Mineral Area Regional Medical Center in Farmington, Mo. She earned her bachelor’s in nursing
from the University of Texas and Master of Business Administration from Webster University. She also has board certification as Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives. Palomar Health has been searching for a new vice president of Pomerado Hospital since the resignation last September of Dr. David Tam, who held the post since 2008. He left to become the chief operating officer at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica. Since his departure, Registered Nurse Cheryl Olson served
as Pomerado’s interim vice president until Skinner was hired. Skinner said she was attracted to Palomar Health because of its mission and her interactions with Pomerado Hospital’s leadership team and staff. “I was so impressed and connected with the mission of the district,” she said, noting the staff’s “dedication to making a difference. I’m very honored to be part of their team.” She said the district’s mission is “to heal, comfort and promote health in the community in which we serve.” SEE ADMINISTRATOR, A22

Meeting to focus on Prop. 64 Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana (CALM) will hold a public meeting about Proposition 64 in Ramona Library, 1275 Main St., at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 24. Joe Minervini, Ramona coordinator for CALM, said the presentation will urge “voters to vote no on Proposition 64, on legalizing sale of marijuana for recreational use in the State of California.” The proposition is on the Nov. 8 ballot. CALM is an all-volunteer Political Action Committee dedicated to defeating efforts to legalize marijuana, taking the position that federal laws against the use, cultivation and transportation of marijuana should be maintained and enforced and should not be relaxed or softened.

OPINION
www.ramonasentinel.com
OUR READERS WRITE Off the mark I would like to respond to Dave Patterson's letter: Hate speech is not free speech. Mr. Patterson went on record with his opinion that my Saturday, Aug. 28, address at a TEA Party event in Ramona was hate speech. He errs. I discussed well-known, documented truths and facts about political, cultural, militant, and economic Islam, NOT a word about Muslims seeking a relationship with their god or personal salvation. Mr. Patterson would have readers believe that what I said was hateful. I pointed out that in the forward of my books, I write about Moslems that I love. He must have applied selective hearing in this regard. My truthful and fact-based comments addressed such things as Turkish President (an authority on Islam) Erdogan's clarification is that there is NO radical Islam; there is NO moderate Islam, that Islam is Islam. I am in agreement with the expert. I believe that of the majority of the 1.5 billion Moslems on earth, only about 10 to 20 percent are inclined to be violent — just 150 or more million violent haters of non-Moslems. Mr. Patterson apparently missed my commentary about the dogma of Islam. I also pointed out that the vast majority of “Syrian” refugees are unmarried Moslem males aged 16-36 — military age; about their sexual rampage in Cologne, Germany during the 2015 holidays, about how they have turned Sweden into the rape capital of the world, etc., and that thousands of similar minded Moslems are headed for America, many toward Ramona. Supposedly, Mr. Patterson wants folks to believe that the Fort Hood Massacre of 14 innocents by a Moslem, that the Chattanooga shootings by a Moslem, the Dallas Police murders by a Moslem, the 50 dead in Orlando at the hands of a Moslem, the 14 murdered innocents in San Bernardino by a Moslem couple were the actions of misguided “spirits.” Mr. Patterson's exercise of his free speech seems spectacularly off of the mark.

Show of the Year If you missed Ramona's 9/11 tribute and Town Hall fundraiser show last Saturday night, please add it to your calendar for sure next year. GREAT energy filled Ramona's wonderful Mainstage Theater with fun, musical merriment, and genuine patriotic spirit. Congratulations to Mr. Woody Kirkman and Town Hall supporters for making possible such a wonderful night of celebration honoring America's resilience/rebound from 9/11, her veterans, and first responders. The reality of having Town Hall's own center stage theater restoration moving forward (to have more great community functions) was surely buoyed by attendees' generous support of the silent auction. Way to go, Ramona! Felix Daoust Ramona SEE LETTERS, A6
GUEST COMMENTARY
We cannot violate Constitution’s protections BY ERNEST SOLOMON Mr. Beck’s recent commentary on “What we must know about Sharia law and Islam” unfortunately is quite correct — if strictly followed by devout Muslims. One could argue that there is evidence of substantial variance in the interpretation of Sharia in the many countries of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) that use it. Like most western societies, these countries have attempted to apply interpretations of Sharia that demonstrate the human tendency to evolve, as knowledge of self and the world around us changes. This evolution however, is quite contrary to the true essence of Sharia and what it means to be a follower of Islam — which may explain why these countries are viewed by other Islamic countries as apostates and enemies of true Muslims. The average westerner may ask, why is it that the interpretation of Sharia cannot evolve as human understanding evolves? The answer is that Sharia is the expression of Allah’s divine will as communicated through the Prophet Muhammad. Upon the death of the Prophet in 632, expression and communication of this divine will to humans ceased, therefore no further interpretation can be made and consequently Sharia became fixed and immutable. Simply put, Sharia is imposed on humans from above, therefore no human or societal evolution can change it. Basically it is what it is and if you are a true believer of Islam then you are obligated to uphold its tenets. On this subject I do concur with Mr. Beck’s assessment, however, as an American of African descent who lives here in Ramona, I do take issue with some of the principles that the tea party stands for both hither and yon. This is, after all, the same group that advocate repeal of the 14th Amendment. It was not too long ago that well-meaning individuals like members of the tea party thought that
Americans of African descent had nothing to contribute to American society. Some of those very same tea party principles would have you believe that non-white Americans are the chief source of the problems that this country faces today — instead of just basic human greed and avarice exhibited by political representatives trapped in a broken system fueled by opposing ideologies. The various tea party factions in general tend to lay the blame of all the social and political problems this country faces at the feet of individual groups of people. I also believe in the power of the American melting pot and its ability to moderate and change individual beliefs. In my view, the Constitution is almost as immutable as Sharia, only far more visionary in its innate ability to change the mind and hearts of individuals who experience it. This country largely survived the growth and establishment of the various criminal organizations that sprang from “our ancestor immigrants of years past,” the ones according to Mr. Beck who were completely vetted before given entry to the USA. A bit of food stamp and housing assistance does not break a country. In fact it reduces the likelihood of criminal endeavors to meet basic needs in a new country by people who may temporarily need it. There are far more taxpayer monies ($600 billion annually) being given to private corporations that make up and fuel the military industrial complex. There is a whole lot more I’d like to comment on from Mr. Beck’s article but I’ll end here with this one thought — the internal threat to America’s way of life from proponents of Sharia and Islam is real, it can’t be ignored. The seriousness in how we address it is just as real — but we cannot do so by violating the very guarantees of protection that our Constitution affords us all. Ernest Solomon is a Ramona resident.

my house and purchase a new home in the San Diego Country Estates. After my first meeting with Deb, it was very clear why Deb has such a great reputation! The entire team at Stage Presence Homes made the buying and selling process as easy and stress free as possible. They take care of EVERYTHING, I mean everything! No stressing about being present for appointments, repairs or inspections. Her team has it covered. Deb has the experience to know how to handle every situation that can come up and I would have been lost without her. The home I was selling was a challenging one. It was a fixer upper and I was urgently trying to sell since I have a baby on the way. We had a buyer back out of the sale (for personal reasons out of our control) a week prior to closing escrow. Deb had the house back on the market the same day and multiple offers in within 2 days to get us back on track! She is a life saver and really went above and beyond to ensure my house was sold timely and I got into my new home without issue.

FROM LETTERS, A4
Against any form of censorship Re: Hate speech is not free speech Mr. Dave Patterson may be correct in condemning the tone of a recent TEA party meeting (I did not attend), but he was way off base in concluding his article with “Hate speech is not free speech.” I must go on record to defend the First Amendment of the Constitution which unambiguously states that Congress shall make NO LAW abridging Americans’ freedom of speech, especially in the political arena. The greatness of America comes from a robust competition of ideas (even obnoxious ideas!) and a real sense of freedom that we all can speak our minds very freely without retribution. This liberating sense of freedom is under attack in the modern era of “political correctness.” Censorship and retribution are too often the norm today. So called “hate speech” is often offensive and often reflects the ignorance of the speaker. I certainly prefer all public discourses to be civil, polite, based on solid fact, and irrefutably logical but unfortunately we must accept that we live in an imperfect, deceitful, and often irrational world — our two current leading candidates for president are prime examples of the current sad state of affairs of civil,
truthful, and logical discourse. Once government is allowed to define what speech is “acceptable” and what speech is “unacceptable.” the very foundation of our freedoms will begin to crumble. Defining some speech as “hate speech” is the first step on a slippery slope to tyranny. Citizens should fiercely defend everyone's First Amendment right to freely speak their minds and oppose any forms of censorship and retribution. So, Mr Patterson, following the wisdom of Voltaire, “I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.” George Eastwood Ramona
Difference of opinion is not hate speech This letter is in response to Dave Patterson’s letter about the Tea Party speaker Jim Horn. I was unable to attend this particular talk, however, I wanted to. Like the majority of Americans, I am very concerned about terrorism caused by Islam. Now that the violence is not confined to the Middle East, Africa or Europe, I want to know as much as possible. There have been over 20,000 Muslim terrorist attacks since 9/11 — www.thereligionofpeace.com. This is why we are talking about Muslim terror
and not Hindu, Jewish, Christian or pagan terrorism. Facts are facts. The fact that someone wants to talk about Islam has nothing to do with hate speech. Your trying to shut down someone’s free speech is anti-First Amendment. You may not like what he says, but you have no right not to be offended. Islam is a political ideology with religious aspects. It seeks to create a worldwide caliphate. And its rule of law is Sharia law. Sharia is explicitly opposed to religious freedom, freedom of conscience and the free exchange of ideas. (Like you, Dave, many Muslims want to stop any investigation into Islam and prevent any negative findings from being publicized. Think Salman Rushdie.) It is violent, openly bigoted toward non-Muslims, discriminatory, and unflinchingly sexist. Large sections deal with the practice of slavery — the how to’s not the why nots. It treats women like property and even describes how to beat a wife properly. It demands death to homosexuals, stoning for adultery and cutting off limbs for stealing. Not my opinion. Go online and google this. I did. Sharia Law and our Constitution are incompatible. Thus, any Muslim who comes to the USA and wants to live by Sharia law should not be allowed in. Why invite people who do not want to integrate and, worse, want to destroy the freedoms that our forefathers fought and died for?

Now that you understand what Sharia law is, I hope you realize your error in comparing Canon law to Sharia law. Canon law does not seek to replace any country’s laws, does not seek to set up a worldwide caliphate and treats all people equally. Difference of opinion is not hate speech. Diane Chapman Ramona
Sending business ‘down the hill’ As a longtime resident of Ramona, 27 years, and a former business owner in Ramona, I have always held to the theory of “KEEP IT ON THE HILL.” When I lost my house in the Cedar fire, I used a local contractor to rebuild and we are very proud of their work on the new house. We have decided to add another garage and used a local design company to draw up the plans. I now have the plans and have contacted numerous local contractors over the past three weeks to build it, but they will not even return calls, emails, etc. What does one have to do to get a return call that they are too busy or not interested? I guess if anyone wants anything constructed in Ramona, you have to “TAKE IT OFF THE HILL.” John Sparger Ramona

Volunteers needed to help during traumatic situations Next training session is Oct. 13-22 If you are compassionate and level-headed during times of crisis, Trauma Intervention Programs of San Diego would like you to consider becoming one of its volunteers. The volunteers are on-call for at least three 12-hour shifts per month, available to provide a comforting presence and practical information to locals experiencing an emotional crisis or tragedy, such as the death of a loved one, in the initial hours before other family or friends can arrive to assist. TIP is holding its next eight-session training academy from Oct. 13 to 22 at Poway Fire Station No. 1, 13050 Community Road in Poway. For the dates and times, go to tinyurl.com/TIP-Poway16. Participants must be available to attend all eight sessions. The follow-up three-month field training will be on Jan. 22 and volunteers meet for three hours each month for continuing education classes. Those interested but not sure if they are well-suited for the program are welcome to attend the 6 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13, orientation. There is a $45 academy registration fee, which is returned if after orientation the prospective volunteer decides to not go forward with the training, said Rosanna Corral, TIP’s director of marketing and communications. Those unable to participate in the Poway training next month can opt for training

For the past 31 years, TIP has worked with law enforcement and fire agencies, including San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and Ramona Fire Department, plus local medical centers, including Pomerado Hospital, Corral said. She said North Inland volunteers are dispatched to help those in Ramona, Poway, 4S Ranch (all served by the Sheriff’s
Department) and other nearby communities served by its contract partners. In most cases this does not include communities within the City of San Diego, since the city does not have a contract with TIP. Volunteers mostly stay within their region, but if there is a high volume of calls, they may be dispatched to other parts of the county. There are about 100 volunteers in the program, Corral said. “The volunteers drop everything to be

there for a stranger,” Corral said, adding their calls can be as short as 15 minutes to up to 12 hours. The average call is two or three hours. Volunteers pick their shifts, and debriefing is offered to help them deal with their emotions after being out on call. She said there are a variety of situations in which a TIP volunteer may be summoned. For example, when a person dies at home, morticians — not paramedics — remove the body. “Most people do not plan for death, so we give them a couple of resources,” she said. Among the most heartbreaking, Corral added, is when a baby dies from sudden infant death syndrome. “Dealing with children’s deaths are the most difficult,” said Rancho Bernardan Linda Wolfgram, a TIP volunteer for 2-1/2 years. Volunteers do not give death notifications, but are sometimes present when law enforcement does it. Sometimes they assist the grieving person locate phone numbers of those they need to contact. Volunteers also help comfort witnesses to accidents, especially those present during a suicide — such as one involving a train and pedestrian, Corral said. Volunteers might also sit by someone’s side while a loved-one is undergoing surgery or help when people lose all their possessions in a fire. Wolfgram is a nurse, but said volunteers do not need to have a medical background. “It sounded very interesting and I wanted to give to my community,” Wolfgram said, explaining why she volunteered for TIP.

“The training was very good and I felt prepared.” She added, “It’s a wonderful feeling, an honor, to be a part of someone’s life on what could be their worst day. To be a part of that and help in some small way is very humbling. We are taught ways to help, (sometimes) just being there and not having to talk, but just touching them on the shoulder. You’d be surprised at the things people say really helped.” Wolfgram said sometimes she suggests things that — due to the stressful circumstances — people don’t think of doing. For example, when she visited the home of a young adult who died, she noticed the family was religious so she suggested they call their priest. Another time there was a death and she suggested the parents tell their children’s teachers what happened so they would know the youngsters were grieving when they returned to school. Wolfgram said she believes each volunteer is sent to a particular call for a reason. “We have a saying that the people who belong on a call are there,” she said. As for Wolfgram’s advice to potential TIP volunteers, she said, “Try it or you’ll never know how extremely rewarding it is to help people. It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.” Corral described the ideal TIP volunteer as someone who is compassionate, willing to listen, humble and a person who cares for and about people. Due to the high-sensitivity of their work, volunteers must be at least 16 years old (those under 21 are typically sent to help at schools and never go on a call alone), have a clean criminal history and driving record, current auto insurance, a cell phone they can use during their shift and regular access to the Internet. Volunteers with a trained comfort dog — such as through Love on a Leash — can also have their dog be certified as a TIP comfort dog. “Our dogs are a great addition to being emotional support on a traumatic call, especially with children,” Corral said.

amona High School varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders add enthusiasm and spirit to every sports game, assembly and competition in which they participate. They tumble, dance, sing and shout as they entertain and pull fans and spectators into an event. At Ramona High School, varsity cheerleaders are at every home and away football game. Led by captains Kara Larson, Isabell Johnson and Shannon Reiling, they also perform their routines and cheers during KUSI-TV’s Alarm Clock Pep Rally and school assemblies. Their coach is Ramona High School Class of 2010 graduate Kyla Brunner, who attends San Diego State University. Look for junior varsity cheerleaders during
the third quarter of varsity football games when their varsity counterparts are on the visiting team’s side of the stadium. They also cheer at all JV football games and at school assemblies.

Hiker to share adventures on Pacific Crest Trail Hiking enthusiast and East County resident Dana Law will share his adventures and tips for hiking the legendary Pacific Crest Trail at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at Ramona Library, 1275 Main St. The Pacific Crest Trail starts in San Diego County at the Mexican border and ends in Canada, and includes a section that dips into Anza-Borrego Desert State Park at Scissors Crossing. Nearly 3,000 people attempt to hike the entire trail in a single season. “Most San Diego residents aren't aware the Pacific Crest Trail starts in their backyard and runs 2,650 miles all the way to the Canadian border,” said Law. “The library is an ideal place to
share this grand adventure and let locals know that they can do it too." Law’s free multimedia presentation will include: • What it takes put your “house” on your back. • What food, fitness and gear are indispensable? • How to train for the trail. • What are the biggest dangers? • How to experience the trail in digestible segments.

Dear San Diego Homeowner, Hi, I’m Kent Harle, CEO of Stellar Solar and I am so excited to be extending our offer for solar priced at a level that is within reach of most homeowners! We are now cutting the standard cost of solar by more than 30%. We’ve priced solar so low in fact, that if you talk to our competition, they are going to say there is a catch or that it is subpar product. There is NO catch and the product is LG Panels paired with SolarEdge inverters and it includes monitoring. There are a few restrictions, but I believe that most of you that call will be able to take full advantage of this offer and that is what I want. I have already received calls asking why we dropped the price so much. We didn’t have to, we wanted to. It is our commitment to continue to improve processes and drive down costs for our customers so that solar is a viable option for decades to come. Call us today for a quick, easy, no-hassle quote.

Ramona High Song Team dances to awards Song team members are not cheerleaders. While both groups perform during varsity football games, song members dance and smile while cheerleaders cheer to the fans, tumble, and do throw and lift stunts during their routines. The cheerleaders are in charge of riling up the fans and getting them excited about the football plays. The song team is there for the crowd’s entertainment, not to get them pumped up for the offense or defense. They perform at halftime, not during a football or basketball game. Ramona High School’s 10 song team members have a strong background in dance. Most of them have participated in ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and gymnastics starting as young as 4 years old. In addition to entertaining at games, the song team performs at special rallies. The main style they perform is Pom, but they also do hip hop, jazz and novelty — styles typically seen in a game environment. The song team placed second at the National Dance Alliance (NDA) in Florida last year. So far this year they received specialty awards at Varsity Song Team Camp at the UTC Marriott Hotel in La Jolla in July and received
Ramona resident Ken Knee will introduce his two recently published books, “Baseball is Poetry in Motion” and “Quintcannon: Line of Play,” during his author talk and autograph session from 1 to 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, in the Ramona Library Community Room. “Baseball is Poetry in Motion” is an amusing account of baseball history put into poetic form. The poems take the reader on a time travel, in no particular order, through baseball history from the 1800s to present day. Baseball and poetry are two of Knee’s passions. “Quintcannon: Line of Play” follows the crimes of a Los Angeles serial killer who is playing a game of dominoes by leaving a domino in each victim’s right hand. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Lt. Kenne Quintcannon and his detective squad are led on a bewildering chase in an attempt to solve the possible clues that the pips on the dominoes represent. This leads Quintcannon and his squad to encounter numerous obstacles and dead ends along the way in their attempts to catch the serial killer. Knee started his writing career after retiring from his accounting and tax preparation business. Without a daily work routine, he said he became bored so he took up writing as a hobby, finding that the more stories he wrote the more energetic he became in developing his writing skills and expanding his versatility. During his autograph session he will offer his books for a discounted price. For more information, see www.kenknee.website.

Bulldogs trounce Golden Eagles in home opener BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s first home football game of the season ended in a 35-14 victory over San Pasqual. The Sept. 9 game improved the Bulldogs’ record to 1-2. “It was great to get the win. The kids have been working so hard,” said head coach Damon Baldwin. “I was proud of the boys.” Ramona's Sept. 2 loss to Pt. Loma was by a 27-21 score, and two long gains in the fourth quarter were nullified due to penalties. The Bulldogs opened the season Aug. 26 with a 62-13 loss to St. Augustine. “The only goal we set for ourselves every week is to get better,” Baldwin said. “Right now our kids have really bought into that.” Only four of Ramona's 2015 varsity starters returned, so Baldwin and the team have set a realistic goal of gradual improvement. “The bright spot is we get better even with some injuries,” he said. Casey Buggeln, who started the year as Ramona's quarterback, left the Sept. 2 game in the second

Israel Torres kicked 5 extra points. “We scored on special teams, we scored on defense, we scored on offense,” Baldwin said. “It was just a great team win all around. Our defense did a great job stopping the option offense.” The Bulldogs' Palomar League opener Friday night is at Rancho

Baldwin said. For the second consecutive week, the game began with a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Tristan Stacy. Stacy also returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown. Ramona also crossed the goal line on rushes by Eder Landgrave and Dawson Castro.

Team prevails over Titans, Timberwolves, Pointers Away game against Canyon Crest Friday BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School girls volleyball team played its first nine matches at the Las Vegas Invitational tournament and won all nine along with the tournament championship. The Bulldogs’ first three matches in San Diego County were also Ramona victories, and those matches were decided by winning three sets as opposed to two sets during tournament play. The Bulldogs won nine of those 10 San Diego County sets including four by no more than 3 points and eight by 6 points or fewer. "They are making some very, very smart plays," said coach Connie Halfaker. "We're playing consistent, intelligent and aggressive." Although Ramona's players have a strong work ethic, an illness around campus limited the Sept. 1 practice to five players. Halfaker accepted the seven players missing practice due to illness, but those players arrived for the Sept. 2 match at Mission Vista. "Even though they were tired and battered, they all came in," Halfaker said. "They all wanted to battle and play." Ramona swept the Timberwolves in 25-20, 25-22, and 25-19 sets. Outside hitter McKenna Marshall led the Bulldogs with 11 kills. "She had been very ill. She just willed herself to push through," Halfaker said. Middle blocker Natalie Seol added 10 kills. Opposite hitter Amanda Donais contributed eight kills and two serving aces. Ramona libero Katie Flinn led the team with 15 digs while setter Sammy Shupe had 22 assists and also recorded five blocks. Ramona's first home match of 2016 took place Sept. 7 against Eastlake. "We went in with an understanding that they were going to play some extensive defense, which they did,� Halfaker said. "The defensive effort by Eastlake was remarkable." In the first game the Bulldogs found themselves playing to Eastlake's strength, and the Titans took a 25-23 victory. Ramona opted for a different strategy. "The girls started to do more finesse," Halfaker said. "They did a really good job of moving the ball around so that the defense had to pursue the ball." Ramona prevailed by 25-22 and 25-23 margins in the next two games. "Their right side block was very strong," Halfaker said. "Their weakness was their middle blockers." Halfaker expressed pleasure that her girls could make changes to adjust during a match. "To a girl they did that," she said. The Bulldogs closed out the match with a 25-16 triumph in game four. "Our girls saw the other girls start to waver," Halfaker said. "Our girls just dropped it into another gear and went after them hard." Shupe had 54 assists. Seol had 20 kills and only one hitting error in 33 attempts, Marshall contributed 18 kills, and Donais was responsible for 17 kills.
DOUG SOOLEY
Junior Amanda Donais contributes 12 kills in the Bulldogs home win over Pt. Loma on Friday. "Sammy Shupe did a great job of distributing the ball," Halfaker said. Marshall had 18 digs and Flinn recorded 17 digs. "For the most part we won the long rallies," Halfaker said. "That was very exciting to see." Shupe led the Bulldogs with four aces. Middle blocker Gracie Seits had five blocks against Eastlake. "It took everything we had. It was a very competitive match," Halfaker said. Halfaker noticed some Ramona vulnerabilities. "We were not blocking as well as I believe we can or could have," she said. That was the focus on the Sept. 8 practice as well as the Sept. 9 home match against Pt. Loma when the practice goals were tested in actual play. "We were working on some specific things," Halfaker said. The 25-19, 25-19, 25-22 Ramona victory included eight blocks by Seits and three by Seol. "That doesn't count all the touches and slowing it down and making the opponent have to do something," Halfaker said. "To a girl they put it in place, and the blocking was insanely good." Seol had 13 kills and 14 digs against the Pointers, Shupe provided 25 assists and 12 digs, Donais contributed 12 kills and three aces, and Marshall served four aces. Ramona travels to Canyon Crest for Friday's match and has a Sept. 20 home contest against Torrey Pines.

Season kicks off with Wins over RBV, Mission Hills give team 2-3 record 3 wins at RB Invite BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's boys water polo team began its season at the Rancho Bernardo Invite tournament, where the Bulldogs won three of their five games. “I thought it was a really good tournament for our guys. I'm pretty happy with what they did,” said coach Donnie Williams. The Bulldogs overcame 1-0 deficits in all three of their tournament wins and also defeated West Hills in a Sept. 7 overtime game at West Hills after ceding the game’s first goal to the Wolf Pack. Tournament play for Ramona began Sept. 1 in the Grossmont High School pool with a match against Torrey Pines that ended as a 7-2 Falcons victory. “I thought it was a good game for us. I thought our guys played really strong against a tough Torrey Pines team,” Williams said. The first quarter was scoreless. The Falcons led 3-0 at halftime and 4-0 before Ramona goals in the third quarter by Matt Wallace and Trevor White narrowed the deficit to 4-2. Ramona returned to Grossmont High School for two Sept. 2 games. The first was a 9-6 victory over La Jolla Country Day. “It was a decent showing for us,” Williams said. The Torres scored the game’s first goal, but the game was tied at three goals apiece when the halftime buzzer sounded. Ramona scored all four SEE WATER POLO, A26
BY JOE NAIMAN Members of Ramona High School’s tennis team have a home match against Brawley Friday before starting Valley League play. Coach Troy Romero scheduled strong competition during the pre-league portion of the season to prepare the Bulldogs for league competition. “I'm pretty excited we pulled out a couple of victories,” Romero said. A Sept. 8 win over Rancho Buena Vista improved the Bulldogs' record to 2-3. The Bulldogs were on the winning end of the 13-5 match Sept. 1 against Mission Hills. “They did a nice job,” Romero said. Ramona won all nine doubles
sets against Mission Hills. Jamie Roe and Kaley Sapper, Hannah Nowakowski and Halli Romero, and Sarah Drown and Ashley Cortez accomplished those sweeps. Renee Hogervorst accounted for two of Ramona's four singles victories. In the Sept. 8 match, Ramona held a 9-8 lead over RBV before Hogervorst overcame her counterpart's 5-4 lead to tie the second set at six games apiece and then win the tiebreaker by 7 points, which ended with a 7-5 result. That gave Ramona a 10-8 victory over the Longhorns. “It was very, very close,” Romero said. Five of the sets were decided by a tiebreaking game. Ramona won
four of those, consisting of three 7-5 games and one 8-6 tiebreaker. “That's a pretty impressive statement,” Romero said. “When it's on the line they're willing to work really hard. I thought it was a good indication of the character of the girls.” San Marcos handed Ramona a 13-5 defeat on Sept. 6. Ramona's season began Aug. 30 against defending CIF Division II champion Pacific Ridge, and the Firebirds took a 17-1 victory. “It was a slaughter,” Romero said. The doubles team of seniors Roe and Sapper accounted for Ramona's only successful set against Pacific Ridge. Grossmont defeated Ramona by a 13-5 score Aug. 31.

Senior patrol conducts home checks Because fall is the season that many people plan to travel, members of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Senior Volunteer Patrol remind the community that they perform vacation home checks year-round. Some people think that the only reason to enroll in the patrol’s home check is to limit the chance of their home being burglarized. While that is an important reason, there are other reasons why the free service is important and useful, the volunteers note. Each home will be checked at least once each day for up to six days per week while homeowners are away. During the check, the volunteers pick up any newspapers or other
evidence of a vacant home, verify that doors and windows are locked, observe the property, and notify either the homeowner or a designated contact person if necessary. If the volunteers observe any suspicious activity, they call a sheriff’s deputy. Among situations that would prompt them to call are finding sprinkler leaks and pool problems. Anyone interested in having this free home check while they are away may visit the sheriff’s Ramona station at 1424 Montecito Road. To save time, they may print and fill out the Vacation Check form near the bottom of the sheriff’s website — www.sdsheriff.net — and bring it to the station.

Park ranger highlights Santa Ysabel Preserves Supervising Park Ranger Michael Hubbell takes readers off the beaten path of the Santa Ysabel Preserves with this Q&A on the ecologically diverse county park that is split into an east and a west section. Q: Describe your facility. Hubbell: The all-encompassing Santa Ysabel Preserves stretches from western Santa Ysabel deep into Julian. It is surrounded by oak woodlands, native grasslands and fields of wildflowers — a beautiful setting for hiking, biking and riding adventures within the boundaries of this 3,800-acre preserve. Plus, the Santa Ysabel Creek runs along the entire northern boundary of the preserve. Q: Anything new going on? Hubbell: We have a new land acquisition that joins Santa Ysabel West and East. This will someday be another link in the Coast to Crest Trail. The initial stages of the Santa Ysabel Nature Center have just begun. We believe this will be the crown jewel of the department once finished. Q: What can the public expect this time of year? Hubbell: As summer transitions into fall, hikers and equestrians can experience the wide outdoor opportunities our backcountry has to offer. Blackberries along the trail have just begun to ripen. Flocks of turkey chicks can be seen running across the trails and open fields. And deer and bobcat can be seen in the early morning and late afternoon. Q: Any new features? Hubbell: The “Triangle” in Santa Ysabel East has been refurbished with new fencing and a “you are here” map to guide our hikers at this three-point connection deep within the preserve. The triangle is where the West Vista Loop trail and the Coast to Crest trail meet. Plus, an amphitheater, built from downed cedars, has just been completed and is ready for use. Q: What projects are you working on? Hubbell: We have been updating all our kiosks and interpretive signage throughout the preserves. We are improving all our trail markers throughout the 13-plus miles of trails. The trail system throughout Santa
Ysabel is getting a facelift. Trimming, rut fixing, water bar building, rock kicking and trail smoothing are all taking place. Q: Any unusual fact or tidbits about your park? Hubbell: Santa Ysabel West contains the largest concentration of Engelmann
oaks anywhere in the state. The headwaters of the San Diego River and San Dieguito River lie within the preserves. Q: Are there any new programs for the public? Hubbell: We have three events coming up. Nature Touch Table takes place on
Sept. 18, Mountain Lions in the Backcountry! is featured on Oct. 16 and the Hike All The Way Across! is on Nov. 19. (All will be at Santa Ysabel East Preserve) Q: This is your chance to brag about your facilities. Hubbell: Santa Ysabel
Preserves is one of the largest preserves in the County Parks system. It has three public access points, each one unique in its terrain and ecosystem, from heat in the summer to freezing temperatures and snow in the winter. It is uncommon to leave the
preserves without seeing a wide array of wildlife. Deer, coyotes, hawks and turkeys are almost an everyday sight. But with a little luck, a red fox, golden eagle, horned lizard or even a mountain lion can be seen. If you are planning a visit, carry plenty of water.
If an emergency happens, will you be ready?

Talent Show, tribute raises funds for town hall BY KAREN BRAINARD amona showcased some of her finest talent Saturday night during a 9/11 Patriot Day Tribute and “Show of the Year” fundraiser for Ramona Town Hall. Held at Ramona Mainstage, the event included a silent auction, drew about 125 people, and raised around $3,000 for town hall restoration, said Ramona’s honorary mayor, Sharon Davis. With the east and west wings of the historic town hall restored, the focus turns to the third and final phase — the main hall, said Davis. “It’s a very worthwhile endeavor,” she said. Woody Kirkman, president of the Ramona Town Hall Board of Trustees, said painting of the town hall’s facade will begin soon. For the 9/11 Patriot Day Tribute, Kirkman narrated a presentation of video clips depicting the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the heroism of first responders and victims. The colors were presented by the Ramona High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps and Cheryl Wright sang the national anthem. Gina Seashore provided piano accompaniments throughout the evening. The Ramona Community Singers, led by Seashore, started off the talent show with a tribute medley of armed forces’ songs. The talent show featured 17 acts, judged by Glen Maiden, Nora Simon and Jeff LeClair. Serving as emcee was Tony Puyot. The evening included People’s Choice Awards, allowing the audience to vote for their favorite acts with a donation. Judges’ Choice: 1st Place – Steve Moran, Cal Fire
R
firefighter, performing “Ring of Fire” with guitar. 2nd Place – Tom Dean, 79-year-old veteran and volunteer for the USS Midway, performing comedy. 3rd Place – Cassi Nelson, who served in the Navy, singing two songs, “God Bless America” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” People’s Choice: 1st Place – Alexavia Zetterberg singing “Over the Rainbow.” 2nd Place – Tom Dean, comedy. 3rd Place – Karie Emanuelson singing “Que Sera Sera.”
Cassi Nelson invites the crowd to join in her rendition of "God Bless America."
Harmony 3, consisting of Jackie DeLa Moro, Joyce Hughes and Tanya Aubin, sings "Sweet Talkin' Guy."
Jackie DeLaMora sings "Don't Cry for Me Argentina."
Comedian Tom Dean entertains and garners second place in both the judges' and people's choice awards.
Alexavia Zetterberg belts out the final lines of "Over the Rainbow."

FROM PARK, A1 account that is maintained by the county Parks and Recreation Department. The new project, he said, is estimated to cost $190,000. Planner Donna Myers asked why disc golf was chosen for an activity. “There’s a lot of interest in Ramona,” said Cooper. “It’s a great activity for families.” He explained disc golf as a game played by amateurs and professionals “and they have very unique discs for various different purposes.” The course has been laid out by a man who has designed four or five courses within the county, said Cooper. “It includes bushes and trees to add restrictions and obstacle for the players,” he added. Because the course location borders a flood plain, Cooper said the baskets would be in removable pots so they could be removed in case of flooding. Of the 15 proposed horseshoe pits, three would be for practice and 12 would be in a covered fenced-in concourse area that would have lighting and American Disabilities Act (ADA) access, he said. “This is built to tournament standards,” said Cooper, noting national contests could be held at the site. The designated park area for the projects has been cleared by county biologists, he said. Other benefits include available parking and bathrooms that are ADA compliant. Well water, potable water and electrical access are all available, he added. “We’re ready to, frankly, move forward fairly rapidly,” said Cooper. Ramona Parks and Recreation Association has approved the project pending the signing of a maintenance agreement, he said. Dan Scherer, chair of the planning group’s Parks and Recreation Subcommittee, said the subcommittee was also in favor of it. “One of the selling points is that national championships could be right there,” Scherer said, adding that could bring people to Ramona who would eat at local restaurants and visit various businesses. The planning group unanimously approved the plan that Cooper said is being called the Wellfield Park/Elm Street Project and the request of not-to-exceed $190,000 in PLDO funds.

ounce of marijuana, he said. “I guarantee you their kids are going to get into that marijuana,” said Hartman. “That’s going to happen.” He has been studying the effects of legalized marijuana in Colorado and Washington and said there has been a drastic increase in child poisoning because of the pot-laced edibles. “You have little kids that see a brownie or cookie on the counter and they”re going to grab it and eat it, and then you have a child getting poisoned,” he said. Hartman said insurance costs — medical, car and homeowners — have increased by 15 percent in Colorado because of marijuana. “Those are the behind-the-scenes things that you don’t see,” he said. According to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, marijuana poisoning cases among children in Colorado has been rising an average of 34 percent per year, almost double the average nationwide. Hartman also said he is fearful more
people will be driving on the road under the influence of pot, and noted California Highway Patrol is still working on finding an effective test to assess those suspected of doing so. The lieutenant said marijuana impairs reaction time and proper judgment. According to the measure, tens of millions of dollars could be saved annually due to a decline in marijuana offenders in state prisons and county jails. If Proposition 64 passes, those convicted and serving jail or prison time for activities such as growing or selling marijuana could petition the court to have their sentenced reduced. That will lead to increased court costs and putting more criminals on the street, said Hartman. “It’s going to be the same as with Prop 47,” he said, referring to the proposition that voters approved in 2014 that changed some nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors. “There’s a snowball effect,” said Hartman.
referring to it as a “calling” since childhood. “I’ve had a most blessed life. It’s been my privilege ... to be a nurse helping families during some of their most difficult and joyous times. (Nursing is) an amazing thing and it’s a cool thing that I’ve been part of that journey.” Skinner said that within a few years of becoming a nurse she started accepting additional responsibilities that over time led to her moving into the administrative side of hospital work. Being an administrator lets her help more patients, she said. “I just love it,” Skinner added. According to Skinner, it is rare in the medical industry for someone like her — a registered nurse — or Tam — a medical doctor — to become a hospital executive since most in those positions do not have
a clinical background. She said it is not required to be an effective administrator since the most important quality is being a good leader, but having a clinical background is a plus and she is seeing more doctors and nurses joining the executive ranks. Palomar Health’s other recently announced leadership appointment is the hiring of Registered Nurse Maria Sudak as the new vice president at Palomar Medical Center. Sudak was previously interim vice president at PMC. She started her nursing career at Palomar Health in 1985 in Pomerado Hospital’s intermediate care unit and has since held various leadership positions, including being instrumental in Palomar Health’s process redesign efforts at the new Escondido-based hospital.
Cities and counties would have the ability to regulate non-medical marijuana businesses or completely ban them, states the initiative. To voters, Hartman said it likely appears the measure would dwindle the black market, but he thinks otherwise. "The black market increases because now you have a higher demand," he said. Plus, the black market will be cheaper because it won’t have the markups resulting from taxes and licensing costs, he added. Hartman also believes marijuana use will increase among youth. When youths experiment with drugs, they often start with prescription drugs from their parents’ or grandparents’ medicine cabinet, he said. “It starts there, then it goes elsewhere,” said the lieutenant. If marijuana becomes legal, some parents may then dabble in it and become weekend smokers buying their

The public health district is the largest by area in the state, with more than 500,000 residents within its boundaries that include Ramona, Julian, most of the inland North County area and part of Riverside County. Skinner said that as Pomerado’s vice president her duties are that of a chief administrative officer. Her responsibilities include overseeing all the day-to-day operations and having direct oversight of clinical and non-clinical issues. These include its budget, board relations and insuring its staff does its best in providing “healing care for our community,” she said. “I always knew I wanted to work in the healing profession,” Skinner said,

PET OF THE WEEK
Boxer mix, is looking for a new best friend. This handsome boy was brought into our care when his previous owner had to move and couldn’t take him with them. Since entering our care, Jake has been the most affectionate boy! He loves to play, go on walks and do anything to stay active. He’s easy to handle and loves people, but he can be a little selective about his dog friends so if there’s another dog in his new home, he’d like to meet them first to make sure they can get along. Jake is a silly, fun-loving pup who can’t wait to find an amazing family to share his love! For more information on adopting Jake, please visit San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside Campus at 2905 San Luis Rey Road or call 760-757-4357.

Sitting on his 1971 Harley Sportster, Shawn Woolery holds his Best of Show trophy.
Motorcycle rally attracts 22 entries Ramona Chamber of Commerce’s first Ramona Motorcycle Rally attracted 22 entries, with El Cajon resident Shawn Woolery winning Best of Show for his 1971 Harley Sportster. The first First Place trophy went to Ramona resident Mel Cary, who brought his Harley Street Tracker to the event, held the last morning of the chamber’s 46th Annual Ramona Country Fair. Chamber director Paul Zawilenski, who organized the rally and announced the winners, presented each winner with a trophy. Assisting him was Carrie Foye, who gave each winner an orange 1st Annual Custom Bike Show T-shirt. The chamber plans to stage the motorcycle event annually.

FROM WATER POLO, A16 third-quarter goals. “We started understanding what we needed to do to be successful,” Williams said. Ian Cirillo had three goals, Wallace and Dawson Webster each scored twice, and White and Cooper Smith had a goal apiece. The 14-9 victory over Mt. Carmel included Ramona leads of 4-3 after one quarter and 7-5 at halftime. “Not a lot of defense going on,” Williams said. “We had to finally figure out who to cover.”
Ramona Community Planning Group unanimously approved a discretionary permit for Reds, Whites and Brews, a proposed tasting room for local wines and craft beers at 629 Main St. Peter Bidegain, who bought the building that formerly housed Catt Farm Supply, renovated it and relocated his businesses, Antiques & Treasures and Pacesetter Stereo. He said he will turn the storefront with the stereo business into a tasting room. “I feel that the future success of building Ramona’s popularity, besides the wineries which are already legendary, is the craft brewery business. It’s trending everywhere,” he said. Bidegain said he wants to be a hub and information center where he can direct visitors to local wineries and breweries, and several such businesses that he contacted are receptive to the idea. Beer would only be sold on tap, he said.
Book signings Two authors will be in Ramona to sign copies of their books on Saturday, Sept. 17. Cartoonist Steve Breen will sign copies of his two new children’s books — “Woodpecker Wants a Waffle” and “A Perfect Mess” at A Classic Tale, 780 Main St., from 2 to 4 p.m. Book publicist Paula Margulies will be in Unicorn Books and Gifts, 845 Main St., at 3 p.m. to conduct a free workshop and to sign copies of her new book, “The Tao of Book Publicity.”
Auto repair bill Assemblyman Brian Jones’ (R-Santee) Assembly Bill 873 relating to the Bureau of Automotive Repair passed the State Assembly on a 70-0 vote and is on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk for a signature. “This bill updates long running gaps in the regulation of various automobile repair services created by some very outdated, more than 40-year-old, statutory language,” said Jones. “Through many stakeholder meetings with leaders of the automotive industry, we were able to come together in a bi-partisan fashion and pass a bill that not only helps clarify the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Automotive Repair, but also gives Californians peace of mind regarding efficiency in state agencies.” Existing law does not adequately address current market realities regarding services provided by automotive repair businesses, noted Jones. Certain automotive repair services, such as replacing spark plugs, replacing fan belts, or replacing batteries, do not require oversight by the bureau because existing law specifically exempts them from regulation. AB 873 will require the Bureau of Automotive Repair, within the Department of Consumer Affairs, to determine through regulation which automotive services are minor and which necessitate oversight. Ramona is among communities in the 71st Assembly District that Jones represents.
Ramona led the Sundevils by a 10-5 margin after three periods. Scoring concluded with sophomore Frankie Trout obtaining his first varsity goal. Granite Hills High School was the site for Ramona's two Sept. 3 games. The first of those was a 14-4 loss to La Costa Canyon. “We were just flat,” Williams said. Ramona concluded tournament play with a 15-6 triumph against Mater Dei. West Hills had a 3-2 lead after one quarter in the Sept. 7 game, although Ramona held a 7-5 advantage at
halftime and a 9-7 lead at the end of three periods. The Wolf Pack scored the first three goals of the fourth quarter, but with a minute left in regulation White tied the score at 10-10 and the lack of further scoring in that period sent the game into overtime. Cirillo scored twice in the first overtime period and Wallace scored in the second overtime frame for a 13-10 Ramona victory. “That was a good fight,” Williams said. The Bulldogs play at Hilltop on Friday.

Talking ’bout typography
O
ver the past 30 years I’ve noticed that most non-designers rely on a single typeface for all their ads and online presence. Their stuff looks consistently boring. Other folks use a dozen fonts in a single brochure, ad or website. Since two typefaces are usually enough, their results look jumbled. A typeface (font family) is a collection of numbers, letters and characters whose umbrella look provides continuity to your marketing materials. Typefaces include italics, differing weights and sizes, and condensed versions. Fonts may be serif (little feet fly off the characters) or sans serif (no feet). And thousands of typography styles are available for every audience and mood. Which ones are best for your needs? Serif is generally better for body copy, while sans serif is good for separating headlines, subheads, callouts and captions. Serif type has thick and thin lines that pull your eye across the page. Eyes love serif type for denser copy such as books, brochures, ads and magazines. Fonts are typically black against a white background. Reversed (white on black) only works well using larger fonts so it’s more readable. Which brings us to my father, who observed that the eyes play tricks after
you hit 40. Always make sure your typeface is big enough for your audience to read without struggling. However, typography’s more than selecting a typeface, font size and whether it should be bold or italic. Type should guide eye flow and pace your message. Neglected details can have a huge negative impact on your readership, response, and sales. Consider where you want the eye to go first, then use the typeface to control eye flow. Put benefit headlines and subheads in a bold sans serif font for added emphasis, then use italics to make customer testimonials stand out. Create a hierarchy of type for headlines, subheads, captions, sidebars, bullets and callouts to guide your reader to your call to action. Spacing, font size, line height, margins, padding, and text arrangement should all create a rhythm to keep the reader moving forward. Want to simplify your life? Work with a designer who’s knowledgeable about the power brought by good use of typography. Then your job becomes easy: Determine what needs emphasis so the designer can decide the proper look for your business. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing.

Regional poll selects KirE Builders BY APRIL HARTER ENRIQUEZ KirE Builders Inc. has been named “Best New Home Builder” in San Diego’s Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll 2016. Established in 1997, the poll is an opportunity for San Diegans to nominate and vote for their favorite organizations — from homebuilders to health clubs and more — throughout the county. KirE Builders Inc. was one of 10 finalists in the home builder category. “The KirE Builders team and I are grateful to be named 2016’s Best New Home Builder,” said Josh Santa, president of KirE Builders. “We truly appreciate the support of the community and look forward to continuing our mission to provide housing to San Diegans for years to come.”
Named after Erik, the late son of one of the founding business partners, KirE has built a team of individuals who put their hearts into every construction job, said Santa, a Ramona resident. “This award is a testament to our company's hard work and steadfast commitment to providing innovative homes at a tremendous value,” he added. The company has two communities now selling in San Diego County, including townhomes at Nickel Creek in Ramona and single-family homes at Circa De Loma in Fallbrook. “Beyond building homes that we’re proud of, we take the time to connect with our customers on a more personal level,” said Santa. “We love building homes in this incredible county that we call home.”
