BY KRISTIN BAUER-BROWN Residents living in the west end of Ramona have reported an increased number of bobcat sightings recently, leaving some people to wonder, just how close is too close? The Pritchetts have lived on Mt. Woodson Road, near the base of the hiking trail, since 2000, and have never seen a bobcat near their home. At least not until recently, when Nancy Pritchett called her husband Ronnie, who was out of town at the time, to say she was looking at a “big cat” walking across their deck. As she got a closer look, she realized it was a bobcat. The next day, when Ronnie was back home, what appeared to be the same bobcat visited their home again. This time its motive was clear. “It just walked right by the front door, across our deck and looked inside,” said Ronnie Pritchett. The bobcat knew where it was headed — a small decorative pond the couple installed near the end of their deck. It stopped there, and started drinking water long enough for the couple to snap a few pictures. “I opened the door and walked outside and it looked at me and I looked at him, and I took a couple steps and it just started walking away,” said Pritchett. “It just went up the hill a little bit, jumped up on one of those big rocks and kind of relaxed.” The Pritchetts say the bobcat did not seem afraid of them, even when there was only about 20 feet between them, but it also was not aggressive. One thing is for sure, it was thirsty. Once Ronnie went back inside the house, the animal came back for more water from the pond. Experts at The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center on Highland Valley Road say that behavior is a bit unusual, but the record heat and muggy conditions of recent weeks probably played a part in the Pritchetts’ close encounter, as well as other bobcat sightings reported in the area recently.

Closing curtain on 2017 cruise nights BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON LOWERING CURTAIN ON CRUISE NIGHT FOR ANOTHER SEASON—This Thursday, Sept. 21, marks the end of the third season of the popular Ramona American Graffiti Cruise. Kristy Keller, who with husband Jerry initiated the idea of weekly cruise nights, said it’s getting darker earlier, children are back in school and should be home doing homework, and “you don’t see the colors and the cars as well” as the sky darkens. Look for a fourth season of cruise nights to start in mid-April. The family- and business-friendly event has been something for Ramonans and visitors to look forward to each Thursday evening in spring and summer. Some bring blankets or beach chairs, others tailgate, and still others take advantage of outdoor seating businesses offer. Many merchants stay open later. Cruise Night Wristbands that sold for $5 each were an additional feature this year. Each person wearing a wristband on cruise nights received a 10 percent discount at participating businesses — 40 businesses participated. Proceeds from wristband and cruise night T-shirt sales went to Ramona Senior Center. The senior center received about $3,000. Lora Cicalo, the center’s acting executive director, calls cruiser Leroy Chubb the mastermind of the fundraiser. As he raised money, he’d bring it to the center until Cicalo said she told him, “I can’t believe you’re still bringing money.” Retired from a frozen food business that had him selling to restaurants, the military and schools, Chubb enjoys talking to people — and he’s proven he’s a good salesman. Wristband seed money came from Ramona restaurants. He asked each to donate $20 to the senior center and gave 10 wristbands to those who did. The result: 100 percent of wristband

BEST DENTAL CARE possible with the latest technology in dental diagnostics.

Behind Front Page donations went to the senior center. He sold T-shirts last year, but each sale raises only about $3 for the senior center. Wristbands are an easier sell, “work well for businesses and help the senior center at the same time.” When Chubb wasn’t selling wristbands and T-shirts on Thursday nights, he’d ride his 1970 crimson red Chevelle with the other Main Street “cruisers.” He thanks all those who bought a wristband and the businesses that participated. HOT DOGS, CANDY AND CARS—Tonight may be the end of 2017 cruise nights, but it’s not the end of cars for the cruisers. They will stage a car show to benefit the senior center in the center’s parking lot, 434 Aqua Lane, on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. They hope to raise at least $1,000 for the center through opportunity drawings and car entry donations. The cruisers will pay for all the supplies to offer free hot dogs as long as the food lasts. Some of the cruisers will stage their annual Halloween Trunk or Treat candy giveaway during Ramona Chamber of Commerce’s Merchants Safe Trick or Treat on Tuesday, Oct. 31, from 4 to 6 p.m. Youngsters will find them in the Albertsons parking lot, where they hold weekly car shows on Sundays from 4 to 6 p.m. during Daylight Saving Time in spring, summer and early fall. When Daylight Saving Time ends (Sunday, Nov. 5, this year), the Sunday car shows are from 3 to 5 p.m. Cruisers also will participate the Classic Car portion of the Ramona Air Fair and Fly-in at Ramona Airport, 2450 Montecito Road, on Saturday, Oct. 7, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

COMMENTARY

Out of ‘crisis’ came New World Order BY DARRELL BECK or those of us who were there to bear witness, the 1960s and 1970s were contentious times. It was the era that birthed the anti-war, anti-establishment generation, bringing anarchy and change to America. After the war ended and the protests ceased, some of the most extreme elements of that “hippie” culture gradually morphed into the radical environmental movement of today. Little did we know then that some 50 years later the environmental movement would become the predominant political power of the day — a politicized influence masquerading as science that would replace traditional common sense with political correctness, where nothing makes sense anymore, as “climate deniers” are now victims of the prevailing madness and are being blamed for causing the recent hurricanes. Back then we recall hearing about the Amazon rainforests. The “lungs of the planet” were allegedly being destroyed by man. Coral reefs were dying and air pollution was causing ozone holes in the atmosphere, including acid rain. Species were becoming extinct and eco-systems were dying, so they said. By 1976 an ice-age was imminent, but when that failed to happen, we were warned of a “global warming crisis.” “Climate scientists” blamed this on excess amounts of carbon dioxide, a harmless trace gas, exhaled by all living creatures, and absorbed by plants and trees to produce oxygen, the gas of life. They said carbon dioxide created a “greenhouse effect” allegedly polluting the atmosphere. This calamity would cause floods, fires, famine, plague, pestilence, mass extinctions, rising seas and death if government didn’t do something to stop it, so they said. We were warned that cow flatulence was adding abnormal amounts of dangerous methane to the atmosphere causing global warming; therefore we must stop eating beef and get rid of cows. The United Nations recommended that we eat bugs instead. They said within 10 years the polar ice caps would melt and coastal cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle would be submerged under 20 feet of water. Almost everything was blamed on global warming, or caused global warming, so they said. We must reduce man’s “carbon footprint” on Earth. Books were written and movies made supporting environmentalism. Governments needed to establish international control of the planet’s resources to save it from being destroyed by man, so they said. Al Gore proclaimed “the Earth had a fever” and some people were terrified because, even though this was a preposterous and unsubstantiated claim made by an opportunist politician, they believed it anyway, especially when he assured them “the debate was over and the science was settled.” These ominous predictions were being blamed, not on the ordinary evolution of nature and climate, but on man’s alleged disregard for the environment, especially due to gas guzzling SUVs; therefore we must use electric cars run on batteries charged by “renewables” such as windmills and solar, so they said. Authorities claimed the world was becoming SEE BECK, A16

OUR READERS WRITE K-rails, not ridiculous yellow posts This letter is in support of the one Bill Williams wrote that was in the Sentinel last week regarding the concrete barriers for Highway 67. I am very, very concerned about this issue and even more so since the installation of those ridiculous yellow channelizers which I believe will cause even more accidents. Attached is a copy of the email that I sent to Dianne Jacob on Aug. 24, 2017, regarding this issue and a copy of her response to me. She referred my concern to three other individuals and I have had no response from them. This community needs to get up in arms and do whatever we can to get K-rails installed on this highway! I am incensed that Caltrans can install them along bike trails but not on our highway. This needs to happen to help save the lives of our neighbors and families. We have already had another life taken. How many more are going to die when this could be prevented? Joy Jeffrey Ramona Joy Jeffrey’s email to Supervisor Dianne Jacob: Today is Aug. 25. Those ridiculous yellow plastic posts that have only been installed on Highway 67 for one week and have already been crashed into near Mt. Woodson. What a WASTE of time and money! Let me tell you what happened to me two weeks ago. I was driving home at 2 p.m. on Hwy. 67 northbound where it clears El Cajon. There are concrete barriers at that location. I was in the right-hand lane when the car in front of me started madly fishtailing for no apparent reason. It went back and forth and back again and then slammed across the lane next to us (luckily no one was driving there) facing the opposite direction and into the concrete barrier. I stopped to assist the occupants. I realized very quickly that without those concrete barriers, the vehicle would have crossed into the southbound lanes and probably hit several other cars. The barriers saves this from happening. Please, please do something about getting concrete barriers installed the entire length of Hwy. 67. I have heard all the arguments regarding the residents living on the roads that connect with 67 not wanting barriers, but more people are going to

die for no reason and more families suffer when the severity of whatever accidents happen could be reduced. Supervisor Jacob’s reply: Thank you for your email requesting K-rail on State Route 67. I appreciate your contacting me on this matter. So you are aware, I have held several meetings with community members, Caltrans, and San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) officials in an attempt to expedite both short and long term improvements to State Route 67. Installation of K-rail by Caltrans has been discussed at these meetings, and after a presentation about the possible increase in road safety as well as the potential for unintended consequences, such as the removal of passing lanes, more difficult ingress and egress for some Ramona residents, and longer emergency response times, there was not broad support expressed amongst the community members and the agencies at the meetings. Since the County of San Diego does not have authority over improvements or funding associated with State Route 67, I have taken the liberty of forwarding a copy of your email to Laurie Berman, District 11 of Caltrans, Tim Lepper, captain of the California Highway Patrol, and Gary Gallegos, executive director of San Diego Association of Governments. I have asked them to review your email and to respond back to you with any additional information.

Plastic posts distracting and useless I’d like to add my comment about the plastic posts down the middle of Highway 67. They’re very distracting and useless. That’s not going to prevent a head-on collision. There’ve been 2 wrecks. I drive that road five nights a week. The first time a car went through there and bent four posts, they were laying on my lane. At the last minute, I whipped over to avoid them, because they don’t stand up once they’re bent. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve seen. Put in concrete channelizers like they have on I-15. That would probably prevent a head-on collision. Vic Smith Ramona SEE LETTERS, A6

RAMONA SENTINEL - SEPTEMBER 21, 2017 - PAGE A5

What Indivisible Ramona really is BY SUSAN CONRAD lthough some are angered by Dr. Meyer’s recent commentary on Indivisible Ramona, as its founder and organizer, I find it to be a great opportunity to once again introduce the group to the Ramona community. Indivisible Ramona is non-partisan; anyone can join. Our goals tend to appeal more to moderates, Independents (like me), Democrats, and progressives; however, we do have some Republicans, too. I was shocked, frustrated, and depressed after the 2016 presidential election. It wasn’t about my gal not winning; it was about who won. Yet instead of wallowing in my misery, I followed President Obama’s advice to get up and get active. The Indivisible movement was started by a small group of former Congressional staffers. They created the Indivisible Guide (indivisibleguide.com) in an informal fashion, full of errors, as a cathartic remedy for their grief. It soon became a catalysis for a national movement. The guide follows the strategies used by the Tea Party. I read it, liked it, and started

Indivisible Ramona. We follow a democratic process of making calls, writing letters, emailing, attending rallies, registering voters, and informing members of our community about important issues such as immigration and healthcare. We hosted a candidates forum for the 2018 Congressional election. We are planning an event for women of all political stripes, reaching out the Republican Women and TEA’d women in Ramona to join IR women for a fun evening. We plan to talk about our lives, NOT politics. And yes, we do challenge much of the Trump agenda and we do want to unseat Duncan Hunter. A lot of people in District 50 want to as well. What is confusing about Dr. Meyer’s commentary is the connection to George Soros. I don’t even know who that person is. We have a steering committee and we don’t report to anyone. Indivisible Ramona does not receive any funds. We all work for free. We are against Antifa’s violent tactics. We are peaceful and passionate people who want to protect and preserve our American values. We also want a Congressional representative who is

COMMENTARY honest and cares about everyone in the district, not just his supporters. Unfortunately, Mr. Hunter’s ability to do so is questionable. Speaking for myself and what motivates me to put in 10 to 20 hours of non-paid work is my faith and family. My maternal grandparents were immigrants from Germany and Ireland. Like so many immigrants today, they left to escape hardships and seek sustainable, safe lives for their families. Both sets became exploited labor and targets of racism back in their time. I also emigrated to Eastern Canada 10 years ago and got a taste of what it’s like to be an outsider (a “come from away”) and never feeling like we would be part of the social fabric. And, my children are immigrants from Russia, arriving at age 5. So travel bans and walls do not seem very American to me. Providing a harbor for those who seek refuge is the foundation and heart of this country. It’s very American. I wasn’t raised in any specific religion. But later, I did attend church and raised my adopted children in the Catholic Church. I wanted them to know Christ and his teachings along with the teachings of other inspiring people. I think about the immigration issues, DACA, and the fact that people have risked their lives to cross a border to escape hardships that are

unfathomable to most of us. I think about how these people labor in jobs that most “citizens” wouldn’t touch and they do it for cheap. This cheap labor has made a lot of citizens rich. These workers have paid into our system for us, not them. And then for our president and Mr. Hunter to want to kick them out, separate families, ruin lives — I have to ask, “What would Christ say?” I was raised to respect the law and have compassion for others. My dad was an Oakland cop who wanted to make a difference; sometimes he did. He also stressed honesty and service to the community. With an open mind, I wanted to get to know our Congressman, Duncan Hunter, before working hard to unseat him. I did and I didn’t like what I saw. Mr. Hunter is under investigation by the DOJ for mishandling campaign funds that appear to be so egregious and widespread, you can’t tell me it’s “just a mistake.” He also lacks when it comes to service. Many times he has made it clear that he’s not particularly interested in his constituents who didn’t vote for him. We can pay his salary but he doesn’t care about our concerns. Playing “We are the Champions” at the town hall was insulting. He has no interest in uniting his district. If he did, he would have hosted a town hall in August during his recess from Congress.

Lastly, I started this group because I believed that there were others that felt the way I do. There are. It feels supportive. However, it’s bittersweet when I hear new members say, “I feel like I can finally come out politically in this town.” What does that say about Ramona? Dr. Meyers, you should welcome Indivisible Ramona, not disparage it. Isn’t Ramona part of our great democracy? Can’t we have political opposition and still remain respectful and united as Americans? Indivisible Ramona will be hosting events to allow folks in our community to hear from the four Congressional candidates who are opposing Duncan Hunter in the 2018 election. Our candidates range from a retired Navy Seal to a solid Progressive. We hope that people will come and listen to their ideas, values, and plans for making a positive impact in Washington and here at home. We are tired of the Hunter dynasty, dishonesty, and disconnection with a large portion of his constituency. We invite the Ramona community to come to a meeting at the Ramona Library (fourth Sunday each month), check out the website: indivisibleramona.com or email me at: indivisiberamona@gmail.com for more factual information about our group. We are a unifying, caring group of people. We are your neighbors and friends. We are a part of our American democracy. Susan Conrad is a Ramona resident.

Unlike The Greatest Generation that slogged through The Great Depression and fought a war that threatened our very existence, we have skated along letting our freedom slowly being eroded. We are at a turning point. The salvation of our nation won't be in electing the right person but in being the right person and claiming virtue as our number one priority. To govern ourselves and restore our nation "We the People" have to be a virtuous people. In many ways we are but in too many ways we are not. We need a National Repentance to reclaim what we have lost. Dr. Gary B. Myers, OD Ramona

Swipes detract from letter Tim Stanton's letter in last week's Ramona Sentinel asks the question, "I wonder why we all can't respectfully disagree." I so agree with you. "Tribe mentality" is what is bringing America down, for sure. First and foremost, we are all members of this community, this county, this state, and this country. Since we're neighbors, let's be friends, as they say. We don't have to agree on everything. However, I would have liked his letter much better had if not started out with a swipe at a couple of other correspondents, calling their opinions "whiny drivel." Why can't we all respectfully disagree, indeed? Katie Reid Ramona

Suggestions for business owners

U.S. at a turning point

I try to keep my business local but it hasn’t always been easy. So I have two suggestions for Ramona business owners. First, as a business owner, keep your political views to yourself. Letters to the editor, banners, and bumper stickers in your business name or on your property denigrating other political points of view are not good for business. I certainly won’t give my business to someone who displays disrespectful comments to me or my political perspective. Second, return calls and show up when promised. Over the past year I called two roofers, a pet groomer and a dry wall repair person. One roofer didn’t return my call, the other promised to show up for a quote but never did and did not reply to my request to reschedule. The pet groomer and drywall repair person didn’t bother to return my calls either. My phone number works and I have voicemail so I didn’t miss any calls. Since moving here in 1999 I have tried to keep my business local by consulting the Orange Book or Ramona Sentinel classified ads. Apparently some of these businesses are doing so well that not responding to requests for business is OK. I feel no guilt about going down the hill for needed services. Mike Cannone Ramona

I don't like the presumption that our system is the problem nor alluding to the need for a one world global governance. The system we have, the Constitutional Republic given us by our Founders, is the best system devised in the history of the world. Its underlying foundation penned in The Declaration of Independence that rights — those being life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — are God-given and that governments are set up to protect these rights, not take them away or give us more. For it to work, as the Founders knew, we had to be a virtuous people to self-govern. In too many ways we have drifted away from it. Not all the way, witnessed how we came together as a nation to give of ourselves and our resources to help Texas and Florida from the disaster they are going through. The problem is in the corruption infesting our government in both sides of the aisle and how the lust for power is defining how we are governed. The Progressive paradigm that seeks to empower the state taking our freedom and liberty away is antithetical to "We the People" in the preamble of The Constitution. We have allowed this to happen because we

Fighting for families: The county recently rolled out a powerful new tool to help families find quality residential care for the elderly. It’s called Choose Well. It’s an online search tool and ratings system designed to guide families to the most appropriate assisted living facility for their loved one. I first proposed the site in 2014. About 120 facilities have volunteered to fully participate in it, with more expected to be added in coming months. When you stop by a local assisted living home for the elderly, look for the new Choose Well logo on display. If you don’t see it, ask the facility to join it. Check out the site at choosewell.org. Problem pipeline: A pipeline route proposed by SDG&E threatens to disrupt business and traffic — and could destroy critical habitat. I joined Poway Mayor Steve Vaus and others in asking state regulators to take a hard look at the route and consider other options. The pipeline should steer clear of any open space preserves, such as Goodan Ranch and the Sycamore Canyon Preserve. Wildfire warning: It’s a message we can’t say enough this time of year — be prepared! The county, working closely with Cal Fire, has many firefighters and resources at the ready across our vulnerable backcountry, but property owners need to take steps too. Wondering where to begin? Go to ReadySanDiego.org. Danger data: Want to get a better fix on any potential hazards at your home and workplace? A new county website, found at readysandiego.org, allows you to input any local address to learn about possible hazards, like whether you live in a high-risk wildfire or earthquake zone.

Business, officers, nonprofits to launch human trafficking awareness campaign Open house Monday in Town Hall Ramona residents are invited to an open house and informational meeting to learn about the prevalence of human trafficking in Ramona and San Diego County at Ramona Town Hall on Monday, Sept. 25, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. The open house will also cover ways to protect the community and eradicate the issue. The meeting will kick off a human trafficking awareness campaign. Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in which people — primarily women and children — are bought and sold as property. A 2015 study by the University of San Diego and Point Loma Nazarene University reported that as many as 11,773 victims — mostly underage girls — are trafficked in San Diego County each year. “Human trafficking can happen anywhere, including a sleepy little town like Ramona,” said Ramona resident Rae O’Rourke, a customer relations representative at ProFlame who has made it her mission to champion this cause with help from fellow ProFlame employees and local officials. “This is not about propane. A big part of my job involves talking to folks in our area – usually about our families, the weather, horses. But after speaking with members

Rae O'Rourke, ProFlame customer relations representative in Ramona, coordinates an open house and informational meeting about human trafficking. of our police force, I learned that what I thought was a safe town is actually at the center of a dangerous epidemic — human trafficking.” As part of ProFlame’s effort to raise awareness of and end human trafficking in Ramona and San Diego County — an initiative it dubs “From Here. For Here” — Ramona office employees are volunteering their time, money and resources to support Together Freedom and Alabaster Jar Project, local organizations that provide services and help empower survivors of human

trafficking. Representatives from each of these organizations, as well as local law enforcement officials and a survivor of human trafficking, will be on hand on Sept. 25 to discuss their personal experiences and how members of the community can band together to protect Ramona. In addition to organizing the town hall meeting, O’Rourke and ProFlame employees have engrained themselves in the missions of Together Freedom and Alabaster Jar Project – from touring a safe house and securing in-kind donations from ProFlame parent company AmeriGas to securing area partners to join the fight against human trafficking. “Our company has been part of this community for decades, and we’re not going to sit back while the safety of our neighborhood’s most vulnerable members is jeopardized,” said O’Rourke. “You’ll see us out and about, talking with families, individuals and members of the business community about how to stop human trafficking. We encourage everyone to join us in our efforts!” Ramona Town Hall is at 729 Main St. For more information about how ProFlame is getting involved in the fight against human trafficking, contact O’Rourke at 760-788-6262 or Rae.O’Rourke@AmeriGas.com.

Plane crash A small plane that lost power while in the traffic pattern near Gillespie Field crash-landed on an El Cajon street Sunday afternoon near a church. Authorities said the two people on board walked away from the crash without injury. The single-engine Piper, which records show was registered to a Ramona man, lost power about 1:45 p.m. and crashed about one mile east of the airport on North Second Street near El Rey Avenue, said Allen Kenitzer, a spokesman with the Federal Aviation Administration. As the plane descended, it hit power lines in the area, said Heartland Fire-Rescue spokesman Sonny Saghera. The plane spilled some fuel onto the street and crews worked to quickly clean it up, said Saghera, adding that SDG&E was called to take care of the downed power lines. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash.

Two residents question residence of RMWD director BY KAREN BRAINARD Two public speakers at the Ramona Municipal Water District’s Sept. 12 board meeting accused one of the directors of no longer residing in his division. Although Sharon Pritchard did not publicly name the director, she referred to him as the director of Division 4. Joe Zenovic serves that division. Pritchard said she lives next to Zenovic’s property at 1455 Ashley Road and was told that he moved out of Ramona. Gary Hurst said it appeared one of the directors had moved out of his division as of November 2015, and called on that director to resign immediately. Zenovic told the Sentinel that he still owns his property on Ashley Road. DAVE PATTERSON

H5 FINANCIAL SUPPORTS FORUS SCHOOL PROJECTS

Angie Hoye, marketing assistant for Shelly Heimer’s H5 Financial at 311 12th St. in Ramona, presents Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS) board member Lynda Kubinak and treasurer Carmen Bedia with a $2,100 donation on Sept. 13. FORUS, a nonprofit established after the school district’s 2012 school bond bid failed, works on health and safety projects at Ramona schools. During the group’s meeting last week, members voted to buy a two-level pedestal water fountain with a bottle filler for Mt. Woodson Elementary School and a wall-mounted fountain for the kindergarten area at Barnett Elementary School.

“I don’t live in the house any longer, that’s correct,” he said, adding that he stays in a motor home at that site while he is subdividing his land. Zenovic said the tenant in his house on Ashley Road will be moving out at the end of this month and he plans to move back into the residence. According to Zenovic, he voted in Ramona in the November 2016 election but found the San Diego County Registrar’s office has since listed his address as that of his office in Escondido, which he uses on his driver’s license. “I think the registrar did it the last few months,” he said. Zenovic said he called the registrar last week and had his registration changed to his Ashley Road address.

Bulldogs trounce Broncos, 28-0 Prep Football Fans pack stands for Homecoming BY RICK HOFF The Ramona High football team used Homecoming Night to take a first big step toward a possible league championship. The Bulldogs were effective on offense, defense and special teams Friday night while pinning a 28-0 loss on defending three-time league champion Rancho Bernardo in the Palomar League opener for both teams. Tristan Stacy scored on two long plays and Gabe Stallman led a defensive charge that produced six quarterback sacks and limited the Broncos to 163 net yards of offense, including minus-7 yards rushing. “We’ve been coming together as a unit,” said Stallman, a senior defensive end who was in on numerous tackles for losses in addition to batting down several passes at the line. “We practiced hard this week on getting after the quarterback.” Ramona (4-0) won the Palomar SEE FOOTBALL, A11

FROM FOOTBALL, A10 League championship in 2013, with Rancho Bernardo claiming the league title in each of the three seasons since. That 2013 season was also the last time the Bulldogs beat the Broncos and the last time RB was shut out (30-0). Rancho Bernardo failed to avoid its first 0-4 start since 2012. “We’re still growing up,” said RB coach Tristan McCoy. “We have a lot of juniors this year, and we’re looking for those leadership qualities. We’re going to get better.” Ramona wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as quarterback Casey Buggeln found Stacy in stride for a 50-yard touchdown pass with just 2:04 elapsed in the first period. The only other score of the first half came after a Rancho Bernardo punt midway through the second period. The Bulldogs advanced 66 yards on 10 plays, with Sean McDonald racing the final 13 yards around the right side and picking up a key block from Caleb Berman en route to a touchdown with 55 seconds remaining in the half. A 92-yard TD run by Berman and a 56-yard Stacy punt return for a score padded the Bulldogs’ lead in the fourth quarter. "Our defense was phenomenal tonight," said Bulldogs coach Damon Baldwin.

Prep Girls Tennis

Team beats Jaguars, 14-4, for first league win of 2017 BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's girls tennis team opened Valley League play Sept. 12 with an 11-7 home loss to San Pasqual but followed that match with a 14-4 victory Sept. 14 at Valley Center. The win over the Jaguars gave Ramona a 5-4 overall season record along with the 1-1 Valley League figure. Ramona's match before the start of league competition was an 11-7 triumph Sept. 5 at home against Sage Creek. The Bulldogs won seven of the nine singles sets and four of the nine doubles sets. "Singles, they did terrific against Sage Creek," said coach Troy Romero. Julia Failla won all three of her singles sets while Renee Hogervorst and Chelsea Boss each won two singles contests. Hannah Nowakowski and Halli Romero earned two doubles wins as did the tandem of Jessica Nelson and Zaydee Cordova. Failla won all three of her sets against San Pasqual: two by 6-1 scores and one by a 6-0 margin. Hogervorst won a 6-3 set and Boss had a 6-4 victory. "Doubles is where we struggled," said coach Romero. Nowakowski and Halli Romero lost a 6-0 set for the first time in their

Julia Failla, who has a 24-0 record, leaps for the ball and wins three sets against her Jaguar opponent.

Ramona High School history while winning a 6-0 set and taking a 7-5 victory in the other set. The No. 1 San Pasqual doubles team also took a 6-0 victory over Nelson and Cordova, whose losses included a set tied at six games apiece before the tie-breaking game ended as a 7-4 Golden Eagles

4. I'm excited," Romero said. The Sept. 14 win over Valley Center was an improvement from the 2016 second-round match that ended with each team winning nine sets and the Jaguars prevailing on the tie-breaking criteria of games won. "The girls had a little extra measure of incentive," Romero said. Ramona won seven singles sets and seven doubles sets in this year's first-round match against Valley Center. Failla improved her season record to 24-0 by winning three 6-0 sets. Hogervorst lost a 6-2 contest with Isabel Stehly but won her other two sets by 6-0 scores. Boss had two 6-0 victories along with a 6-1 loss to Stehly. Nowakowski and Halli Romero had a 6-0 triumph and two 6-4 wins to improve their season record to 23-4. Nelson and Cordova won a 7-6 set with a 7-3 tie-breaking game while also winning 6-3 and 6-2 contests. Ramona's No. 3 doubles team, Tiffany Meredith and Natalie Tucker, took a 6-0 victory over the Jaguars' No. 3 players. "It was really valuable for them," Romero said of defeating a team that beat Ramona in the previous match. "It makes you feel good."

FROM POLO, A11 Aug. 24 through 26 RB Invite tournament. An Aug. 31 game at Del Norte ended as an 11-5 Nighthawks victory. Patrick Henry overcame a 6-3 Ramona halftime lead Sept. 7 at the Allied Gardens Recreation Center to take an 11-10 win. The Thrills in the Hills tournament gave Ramona six games in three days, as the Bulldogs also traveled to Rancho Bernardo for a non-league contest Sept. 14. "It was decent in the first quarter," Williams said. The score was 2-2 at the end of the first period, but the Broncos held a 7-2 lead at halftime. "We couldn't find much offense," Williams said. "They were doing a decent job of shutting us down." The final score was 11-4 with Dawson Webster scoring all four of Ramona's goals. "We've got to be better about finishing off these opportunities," said Williams. Webster was one of seven Ramona players who placed shots into the net in the Bulldogs' 12-3 victory over

Eagle Rock that opened Thrills in the Hills play for Ramona. "That was a good first game. The kids were really happy with it," Williams said. Goals by Frankie Trout and Webster, both with assists from Scott McClure, gave Ramona a 2-0 lead after one quarter. Jeffrey Ramsthaler, Webster and Vincent Thompson scored second-period goals to contribute to a 5-1 halftime lead. Trout ended the game with three goals. Ramsthaler, Webster and Thompson each scored twice. Matt Damm, Nathan Duffie and Jared Robison had one goal apiece. The first quarter also included multiple saves by Ramona goalkeeper Josh Ferry. "He made a difference in that game," said Williams. "All weekend long he really did a great job." Ramona's second Sept. 15 game was a 7-6 victory over Brea Olinda High School. Goals by Thompson and Webster gave Ramona a 2-0 lead. "We started off strong," Williams said. The Wildcats tied the game

Life Tributes

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Alan Lee Welch

august 1, 1952 - September 14, 2017 Ramona — alan Lee Welch, age 65, beloved teacher of Julian High School, passed away on September 14, 2017, surrounded by his loving family. alan was a skilled carpenter, a dedicated teacher, and a true blue “aggie” as the FFa advisor and shop teacher at Julian High School. He had a knack for being able to reach kids that may have otherwise felt misunderstood. He was always there for people whether you needed wisdom, instruction or something built in a day. alan was compassionate, loyal, and tough as nails. He is survived by his wife of eight years, Garnette Welch; daughter, Rachel Welch; son, Zakk Welch; and grandchildren, opal and Jasper Larkin.

a memorial service will be held in his honor on September 24, at 2:30pm, at the United methodist Church in Julian. all former students, colleagues, family, and friends are welcome to attend, share memories, and remember the man we called “Welch”. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

at two goals apiece during the second period, but Ramona had leads of 4-2 at halftime and 6-3 after three quarters. "We haven't developed that killer instinct or the other teams are making adjustments," said Williams. Brea Olinda closed the gap to 6-5 with four minutes remaining in the fourth period. Ramsthaler scored to give Ramona a 7-5 lead with 3-1/2 minutes remaining, but the Wildcats scored once again. "We were able to keep them from scoring that other one," Williams said. The return to Chino Hills High School for three Sept. 16 matches started with Ramona's 11-6 loss to Bonita High School of La Verne. The score was 3-3 after one quarter. "We went back and forth in that whole first quarter," Williams said. When the halftime buzzer sounded, the Bearcats had a 9-4 advantage. "The second quarter our wheels came completely off," Williams said. Ramona allowed a goal apiece in the final two periods. "The third quarter was fine," Williams said. "We just played better defense." Ferry made 11 saves against Bonita, which eventually lost to Montebello in the championship game. McClure's outside corner shot gave Ramona a 1-0 lead in the contest against Crescenta Valley, although a subsequent Falcons goal created a 1-1 score at the end of the first period. The team from La Crescenta scored the first two goals of the second quarter before Ramona had the next five scores. A Crescenta Valley goal changed the 6-3 Ramona lead into a 6-4 halftime margin. The score was 8-7 in Crescenta Valley's favor after three periods. "We always seem to have one bad quarter," Williams said. The Falcons built up a 9-7 lead before Ramsthaler's goal with three seconds left created a 9-8 final score. Ramona's final game on Saturday was a 7-5 loss to Chino Hills. The Huskies had leads of 2-1 after one quarter, 5-1 at halftime, and 7-2 after the third period. Games at West Hills on Sept. 28 and at Santana on Sept. 29 will precede Ramona's Valley League opener Oct. 3 at home against San Pasqual.

School district accepts art docent applications Ramona Unified School District is seeking candidates for Intergenerational Art Docent Program Coordinator. The coordinator, a limited assignment paid for by a two-year grant for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years, will receive a monthly stipend from September through May, not to exceed $16,000 annually. The job involves recruiting, training and supervising adult and older adult volunteers to present a curriculum-based art program to students in kindergarten through sixth-grades at Ramona’s

six elementary schools. The goal is to present an art appreciation program that will help elementary students develop an appreciation and understanding of social and historical influences on art. The program will also promote awareness of arts in the community. Students will be exposed to selected artists of various periods in history, using reproductions of the artists’ major works. Each art project will be inspired by the art period, subject or artist featured in the presentation and displayed at the schools. There will also be opportunities for students to experience art

FROM BECK, A4 overpopulated and said something must be done. Thus we began to realize that it wasn’t the wrath of nature itself, as it had always been, but it was man himself that was being depicted as the environment’s worst enemy. These ominous predictions were very upsetting to many people, making them fearful and guilty because they were now unfairly being blamed for the planet’s alleged demise, all based on trumped up theory. Soon, a new faction of “climate warriors” and eco-lawyers was born, leading to a massive growth in the environmental movement. Many of the most intense activists became deep-rooted within government as well as in academia, education, entertainment, the news media and the United Nations. Their influence became overwhelming. Soon we began hearing about “Global Governance” and a “New World Order.” Then the U.S. Supreme Court reached well outside its legal authority and entered the climate arena by ruling that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses were “pollutants” that contributed to man-made global warming, thus handing the EPA a blank check to regulate atmospheric carbon dioxide. “Sustainability” was needed to save the planet, including “Climate Action Plans.” Then we began hearing about “Agenda 21” and a great variety of environmental programs with vague and confusing names such as: The Wildlands Project, U.N. & U.S. Man and Biosphere Program, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), Kyoto Climate Protocol, the Paris Climate Accord and many others. A new strain of “climate scientists” competed for lucrative government grants in order to produce temperature data tying carbon dioxide emissions to the “greenhouse effect” and thus theorize that carbon dioxide created by humans, and not variations in the sun (or natural climate change), was responsible for man-made global warming. Climate scientists then presented their theories to fellow climate scientists to gain their acceptance and approval through impressive “peer reviews” as a means to provide a façade of legitimacy.

by participating in events such as a Guest Artist Program, creating a school mural, and field trips to local art studios and galleries. Applications are online at ramonausd.net, under Human Resources, employment opportunities. Application packets should be submitted to Sondra Evans, personnel manager, Human Resources Department, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the district office, 720 Ninth St. The deadline to apply is 3 p.m. Sept. 29. For more information, call Evans at 760-787-2017.

In a desperate search for climate change justification, several research vessels were dispatched to the Antarctic during polar summer to seek proof of global warming but unfortunately they got stranded in heavy pack-ice and the crews had to be rescued in the infamous “ship of fools” polar expeditions. Anybody who mocked or questioned this climate folly or doubted the unconfirmed theories emanating from modern “climate science” was called a “denier, skeptic or climate heretic.” Moreover, when “climate deniers” were blamed for hurricanes and other natural disasters, some climate activists even demanded that climate deniers be punished and put in jail, similar to the incidents of mass hysteria occurring during the Salem witch trials of Colonial America in the 1600s. And if this wasn’t enough to terrify the people, the renowned physicist Stephen Hawking recently made the highly politicized and hypothetical claim that “we are close to the tipping point where global warming becomes irreversible. Trump’s action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus; with temperatures of 250 degrees and raining sulfuric acid…….the best hope for survival of the human race might be independent colonies in space.” Finally, we wondered when and if any of these catastrophic forecasts were actually going to happen. Would climate scientists and politicians ever answer for their failed predictions and theories? What is Agenda 21? Who are “they” and what gives “them” the authority to override the sovereignty of nations? Where do unelected non-governmental organizations (NGOs) get their power and why do they have so much influence? How will this invasive international power-grab affect our lives and our property and our sovereignty? What is the true agenda at the United Nations? So what better way (other than all-out warfare) to control nations than by predicting an environmental Armageddon, playing to human emotions and fears by fabricating “evidence” without providing answers or proof, and then imposing global governance to allegedly solve the alleged crisis, thus robbing mankind of its last vestiges of freedom?

Ramona Ranch: First Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing designee in county BY JOYCE STRAND Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery is the first in San Diego County to receive a Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing designation after meeting a comprehensive set of standards for “environmental stewardship, conservation of natural resources and socially equitable business practices” set by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance (CSWA). Ramona Ranch is in the Ramona Valley American Viticulture Area (AVA). Winemaker Micole Moore with co-owner Teri Kerns produce award-winning wines from estate and Ramona vineyards that they have selected for the quality of the fruit. “The California wine community has a deep commitment to responsible environmental, business, and community practices, and we are pleased for Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery to be recognized for their sustainability efforts through the Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing Program. Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery joins more than 900 California vineyards and nearly 130 wineries that are Certified Sustainable,” said Allison Jordan, CSWA executive director. “After more than five years of working toward this certification, we are proud that Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery meets the high

standards of sustainability set by the CSWA for both our vineyard and winery,” said Moore. “We are especially proud to be part of protecting the ecosystem of our beautiful home here in the Ramona Valley. We’d like to thank Sonoma’s Benziger Family Winery who inspired us to achieve our certification.” Certified Sustainable is an outgrowth of the Sustainable Winegrowing Program, a free, educational program initiated by the Wine Institute and California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) in 2002 to provide educational information and encouragement of sustainability. This third-party certification program was developed by the Sustainable Winegrowing Joint Committee — comprised of 50 grower and vintner members of the Wine Institute and CAWG — and sustainability certification experts and launched in 2010. Input was also solicited from other industry and external stakeholders. To qualify for sustainable status, Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery had to: Complete an annual self-assessment of 140 vineyard and 104 winery best practices; meet 58 required prerequisite practices for vineyards, and 37 required prerequisite practices for wineries; comply with “Certified Sustainable” list requirements; meet sustainability

RAMONA SENTINEL - SEPTEMBER 21, 2017 - PAGE A19

Shining the spotlight on Juliana Bowman Stewart BY KAREN BRAINARD here’s a common theme that runs through the many scenes in Juliana Bowman Stewart’s life. “Everything I’m involved in involves people,” she said. Whether she is directing community theater, teaching high school drama, helping clients make arrangements for the loss of a loved one, or serving as a wine host at a winery, Stewart is interacting with people. “I enjoy all aspects of my life. I’ve been blessed,” said the owner of Bonham Bros. & Stewart Mortuary and Cremation Service and director of Out of the Box Players. Stewart grew up in Long Beach and earned a bachelor’s degree in theater arts and a master’s in speech/theater arts. While performing community theater and working as a recruiter for a hospital, she decided to venture into another profession. Her uncle had owned a funeral home in West Virginia so she researched and found that one of the two mortuary colleges in California was just 20 minutes away. She earned an associate’s degree in mortuary science and became a licensed embalmer/funeral director. Stewart was working as manager for Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in Los Angeles when her casket representative made a suggestion one day. “My casket rep…said, ‘You know, you’re working really hard here — why don’t you buy something?’ And I said, ‘Because there are very few moms and pops left — they’re mostly owned by corporations.’ And he said, ‘well there’s one for sale in Ramona.’ Of course, my reply was ‘Where’s Ramona?’”

Community Profile

KAREN BRAINARD

Juliana Bowman Stewart owns Bonham Bros. & Stewart Mortuary and Cremation Service, directs Out of the Box Players, and teaches high school drama. She looked up the town, and in January 2002 she bought the mortuary at 321 12th St. Stewart describes her business as a one-stop shop that includes arranging traditional and cremation services, military honors and burials at military cemeteries. To help the public understand and learn more about mortuary services, Stewart said she is considering hosting a question and answer forum for the community. Recently, her sister, Jennie Bowman, became a licensed funeral director. Bowman keeps the office open and meets with families while Stewart said her role is more behind the scenes now. “Without her, I couldn’t teach at the high

school,” Stewart said. The theater arts major teaches high school drama at Mountain Valley Academy, which is where her two children, 13-year-old Zerelda and 15-year-old Frank, attend. The class, open to Ramona High students also, performs one show per semester. “I love teaching. Teaching is a whole lot of fun,” Stewart said. She finds plays that have large casts to accommodate the students. This year she has 33. Stewart also researches scripts for Out of the Box Players, the community theater group she founded in 2012 after missing the performing arts. Her mother encouraged her to use the

mortuary chapel for the plays. A bit hesitant, Stewart went ahead and gave it a try, and received a positive response. Although some people won’t come because the plays are in a mortuary, Stewart said, a lot of people do attend because of the venue. The setting is more intimate, she said, the acoustics are good, and there is even a green room for the actors. “We’ve really got a lot of talented people in this community,” she said. Out of the Box Players, comprised of adult and teenage actors, puts on about three shows a year. “I’m always looking for people who are interested to be a part of it,” said Stewart, noting that finding men to act is tough. For her next play, Stewart has chosen “Picnic” by William Inge. “It’s going to be fun,” she said. On opening nights she offers a wine dinner theater package at Hatfield Creek Winery. The partnership led to Stewart becoming a wine host at Hatfield. “I didn’t realize how much fun it would be,” she said. As if that wasn’t enough, Stewart is also the performing arts group leader for the newly-organized Ramona Community Art Group, and is joining the Ramona Town Hall fundraising committee. Both the mortuary and Out of the Box Players are members of the Ramona and Julian chambers of commerce. For more information on the community theater, visit Out of the Box Players on Facebook or call 760-789-0856.

FROM SEIFTS, A1 Rena Seifts’ first day as the district’s assistant superintendent of administrative services is Monday, Sept. 25. She replaces David Ostermann, who resigned in June after 12 years as assistant superintendent. “Rena comes to Ramona Unified with a wealth of experience,” said Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D. “She has been an assistant superintendent of business services in Texas in multiple school districts, providing fiscal oversight as well as facilities management for over 13 years.” Most recently, Seifts worked at the San Diego County Office of Education as a fiscal consultant. “Her responsibilities have included providing budgetary support to eight districts, including Ramona Unified,” noted Staffieri. Staffieri described Seifts as a firm believer in communication, teamwork and creative problem solving, and said she has established herself as an excellent leader. “I am excited to welcome Rena to our leadership team and look forward to the difference her contribution will make to Ramona Unified,” said Staffieri. “We welcome you aboard,” Rodger Dohm, school board president, said before trustees approved the district’s contract with Seifts in a 5-0 vote. “I want to thank you all for the opportunity,” Seifts said. “I’m really excited about joining the team and being part of all the great things that are happening here.” The nearly two-year contract goes through June 30, 2019. Her $154,249 salary is for a 261-day work year. She will receive a monthly mileage stipend of $295.80 for travel within the county, be eligible for health benefits and be reimbursed for other expenses allowed by board policy, according to the contract. Among other business at the meeting: • Cenergistic Energy Specialist Dave Hodges reported utility savings of $139,634, or 12.9 percent, from Nov. 1, 2016, through Aug. 12. The district in October approved a five-year contract with Cenergistic. The district paid no fees to Cenergistic for the first six months — Nov. 1 through April 30. Starting May 1, the fee is $19,000 per month to the end of the contract. The contract includes guarantee that if the district doesn’t save at least the cost of the program, Cenergistic will pay the district the difference. The cost of the program will come out of energy savings, so the district will not have to budget money for it, Bob Wells, Cenergistic regional president, told the district last fall. Hodges’ report shows 2016-17 electricity costs of $1.2 million, or 82 percent of all utilities; water, $236,260 for 16 percent; propane, $24,130 for 2 percent; and lighting, $5,222 for less than 1 percent. “Our goal is not to make the teachers hot while they’re teaching, it’s not to make people uncomfortable,” said Hodges. “It’s to eliminate the fat … Let’s eliminate what we don’t need.” Hodges’ complete PowerPoint presentation to the school board is online at ramonausd.net. • Trustees heard a report from the four

Ramona High School employees who participated in a San Diego Comic-Con panel presentation this summer on how graphic novels can be used in English classes. The panel, moderated by RHS Class of 1981 graduate John Shableski who works in the comics publishing industry, included English teachers Erin Hill and Emily Maehler, Librarian Cori McDonald and Library Technician Becky Harvey. Ramona Unified and Vista Unified were the first two K-12 districts to ever present at San Diego Comic-Con, said McDonald. Using a graphic novel by Gareth Hinds to teach ninth-graders “The Odyssey” proved successful for students at all levels, the teachers agreed. Her students understood “The Odyssey” better than any of her previous students, said Maehler. “It’s such a difficult text,” she said. “It’s an epic poem, it’s full of Homeric similes and it’s really hard to students to grasp what’s going on. There’s also a lot of allusions to Greek mythology and they may or may not be familiar with those gods and goddesses, so this gives them a really great overview with a visual.” Hill talked about an autistic student “who would not put the book down … he was so attached to it.” Previously he struggled with writing, “and when he would you could see that there were flashes of brilliance.” He worked for hours on the final “Odyssey” project that involved drawing and writing. “He came up with an amazing story,” said Hill. The project required six pages. He completed more than twice that. “There was a giant stack of pages and a totally coherent story with tons of words in it, too, and it was just absolutely gorgeous,” she said. “What was in his head that he wasn’t able to articulate verbally … that really came out when he was drawing and writing.” • Montecito High School Principal Dave Lohman and Teacher Holly Anastas introduced the district’s Inspirational Student of the Month, Isabella “Bella” Grangitano, a junior at Montecito High. Bella has overcome an amazing amount of odds to become a leader among her peers and a remarkable mentor to transitional kindergarten students at Ramona Elementary, the educators said. “I wasn’t that interested in school, but going down to Ramona Elementary, it just made me want to go to school last year and this upcoming year,” said Bella. “It made me realize that I want to pursue a job in teaching.” Dohm presented her with a plaque with the inscription, “The comeback is always stronger than the setback.” • Ramona High School senior Casey Martinez and Montecito High School senior Trevor Keck introduced themselves as representing their schools at school board meetings this year. Martinez will be at every board meeting. Keck will alternate with Mountain Valley Academy’s representative. • Dohm reported that trustees voted 5-0 in closed session to approve a resignation and settlement agreement with a certificated classroom teacher. The resignation took effect Sept. 8. Since the agreement involved personnel, Dohm did not offer details.

MERCY AIR RESCUE A motorcyclist is airlifted to Palomar Medical Center Escondido with major injuries after the motorcycle struck a vehicle on state Route 78, just east of Magnolia, about 9:15 a.m. Saturday.

Two bobcats receive rehabilitation at The Funds for Animals Wildlife Center.

A bobcat leaps over a retaining wall in the Mt. Woodson area.

FROM BOBCATS, A1 wildlife, with the goal of releasing the animals back into their natural habitat. Emil Smith works for the nonprofit organization as an animal care specialist. Bobcats are more typically very reclusive and a sighting is a rare opportunity that not many people get, she said. A bobcat can be larger than a domestic cat but much smaller than a mountain lion. They are most identifiable by their tufted ears, longer back legs and short, bobbed tail. Bobcats are predators and they generally feed on small rodents. But this time of year the females are hunting

unlikely to approach you,” Smith said. “But you don’t want to let your dog just go chasing after them.” A bobcat being chased by a dog can run through traffic and get hit by a car, which is one of the most common injuries to bobcats Smith has seen while working at the center. If you see a bobcat on your property, enjoy viewing it from a distance. It will likely run away before you have time to grab your camera. But, if it comes too close for comfort, startle it away from your home with any loud noise or clapping. Do not throw sticks or rocks directly at a bobcat because you may injure it.

with their kittens in tow and if food and/or water isn’t easily obtained, they may move in closer to their human neighbors. “Bobcats typically will stay away from urban settings, but if you have food out that’s easy for them to get to and they’re hunting for kits, they might look for those alternative food sources, which can include small pets,” said Smith. The wildlife in Ramona is one of the many reasons residents love this town. But it’s important for people to have a natural boundary when it comes to wild animals. “If you are out hiking or walking, always keep your animals leashed. Bobcats are very, very

Wild animal experts say it is extremely unlikely for healthy bobcats to attack people and they do not consider them dangerous. But it’s always best to check the area surrounding your home for any kind of wildlife before letting young children play outside. Keep small pets inside the home and supervised if they are outside, and don’t leave food or water outside, close to your home. Lastly, if you encounter a bobcat that appears to be sick or in distress, do not approach the animal. The best way you can help is to call The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center at 760-789-2324, for assistance.
