California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will hold an All-Party meeting in Chula Vista Sept. 28 on its proposed decision regarding San Diego Gas & Electric’s request to recover expenses from the 2007 wildfires. On Aug. 22, CPUC law judges’ proposal denied SDG&E’s request, finding that SDG&E did not reasonably operate its facilities linked to the Witch, Guejito and Rice wildfires, thereby prohibiting the utility from recovering those costs in its rates. Although the All-Party notice said a quorum of commissioners may be attending, it states no official action will be taken, so a final decision on SDG&E’s request would not occur. Diane Conklin, spokesperson for the Mussey Grade Road Alliance in Ramona, will attend the All-Party meeting and urges others to join her. The meeting will be from 1 to 2 p.m. in the Chula Vista Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Ave., Chula Vista. The deadline to sign up to speak is by the start of the meeting. See page 4 for more information.

BY J. HARRY JONES Significant progress appears to have been made toward solving the long-running and dangerous parking situation along state Route 67 in Ramona near where thousands of people each month climb to the top of Mt. Woodson and Potato Chip Rock. County officials and others, including the property owner, toured an 84-acre parcel of land located just west and north of the Mt. Woodson Cal Fire station late Tuesday morning, Sept. 19, and a plan started to take shape. Property owner Jerry Taylor,

Damon Baldwin’s football journey to Ramona High BY KAREN BRAINARD ust as Damon Baldwin would be about to hang up his jersey and retire from professional football to become a coach, he would be called back to the field. That happened several times before he landed the job as Ramona High School head football coach and physical education teacher in 2005. Three years later, he became the high school’s athletic director as well as head coach. Originally from Northern California, Baldwin attended San Diego State University on a full ride football scholarship. He was part of the Holiday Bowl in 1986 and the Western Athletic Conference championship team that same year. Upon graduating college, he was an NFL prospect. However, a dislocated elbow caused his rating to drop. “So I ended up being a free agent,” he said. That was also the year the NFL draft dropped from 12 rounds to seven rounds. “I spent free agent time with the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles in 1990. That didn’t work out so I came back and thought I was going to be done with pro football…then I went into grad school

Disaster relief picnic, Main Street change BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON DISASTER RELIEF—A grassroots group spearheaded by Realtor Sally Westbrook plans Picnic in the Park for Disaster Relief on Sunday, Oct. 29, from 2 to 6 p.m. in Ramona Oaks Park. All the money raised will go to The Soup Ladies, who provide meals at disaster areas for first responders, victims and volunteers. Westbrook and her band of compassionate Ramonans initially considered calling themselves Ramonans for Texans. That was during the early days of Hurricane Harvey. As they learned of the string of disasters occurring this hurricane season, they decided to help a nonprofit that responds to all of them. They met one Friday evening in San Vicente Resort to plan a benefit that would include live music from Gimme Back My Wig, opportunity drawings, a silent auction and maybe some wine tasting. The consensus was to make it a bring-your-own-food affair. They ask community members to put the picnic in the park on their calendars. They’ll share additional details as they are available. NEW OWNERSHIP, NEW LOCATION—The front door of All

American KTM at 872 Main St. is locked, but there was a flurry of activity going out the back door on Friday. R.J. Savage, owner of the franchise for 17 years, has sold the business and it’s moving to Poway. A Ramona resident since 1994, Savage said he’s been paying Social Security tax since January 1971 and it’s time to retire. His wife, Dr. Lynn Savage DVM, works at High Valley Veterinary Hospital on D Street. They’ll be in Ramona for at least two more years, but then they’ll be in Colorado. “The tax rate is ridiculous in California,” the straightforward R.J. said. The Savages purchased two pieces of property in Colorado’s Black Forest area. They’re renting the house on one parcel and building a home on the other. Joking that he’s looking forward to watching the grass grow, Savage has a growing number of projects on his agenda. Among them are restoring six antique motorcycles and a hot rod – and, of course, there’s the new home to finish. The Savages raised their two children in Ramona and both are pursuing advanced degrees. Daughter Skye, a Class of 2011 Ramona High School graduate, had a triple major and double minor at the University

BY DIANE CONKLIN fter two years of grueling work and many hundreds of hours expended by all concerned, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a proposed decision in August to deny the $379 million San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) wants to be reimbursed by you for the 2007 fires ignited by its equipment. That’s the good news. The bad news is that SDG&E is fighting this decision with all its might — and may have succeeded in at least one way. After intensive lobbying at the commission following the proposed decision, it appears that the CPUC is now thinking of putting a “hold” on the decision instead of voting on it in Chula Vista on Thursday, Sept. 28 — a rare appearance for the commission in San Diego County to conduct a business meeting. This would give SDG&E a chance to lobby for another decision, one that’s better for them. So, what’s to be done? Well, folks can just say “I knew it” and resignedly go about their business and let SDG&E rule the day with another decision by the CPUC in the corporate monopoly’s favor to reach into your pocket. Or, you can fight. The commission meeting will start at 9:30 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 28, in the Chula Vista Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Ave. Those who want to speak need to get there early and sign up before the meeting starts. The CPUC does things differently than other bodies. Speakers speak before the agenda is formally taken up, not when the agenda item is discussed, if it is, by commissioners. So, arriving early and prepared is key. It is important to know that even if the CPUC does not take up this decision at this Chula Vista meeting, your voices are even more crucial. The way it works is this: If there is no pushback, the CPUC doesn’t think you know or care. They are free to ignore their responsibility to you and your safety. They don’t see you, hear you, or believe you are concerned. Why should they? If you do show up, every voice raised is worth at least 100 voices who cannot be there. It is clear that folks have children, mortgages, jobs and a myriad of responsibilities. But the cost of living in a democracy is the cost of participation in that democracy. As a sage once said: Government is done by those who show up. There is no doubt that if SDG&E gets its way, there will be millions of dollars to pay in the future by you and your children and their children. SDG&E, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and Southern California Edison (SCE) — the big three in California — all want the “ratepayer” to pay and pay and pay. Future calamities and even past ones (PG&E has already listed costs with the CPUC for the Butte Fire in Northern California) may be borne by customers — not shareholders. And stock prices will rise — but not for you, unless you are invested. If not, you lose twice. The precedent that may be set here is the problem. That is why the Mussey Grade Road SEE CONKLIN, A6

OUR READERS WRITE Perfect businesses do not exist In response to “Suggestions to business owners,” a letter in the Sept. 21 issue: Mike, I appreciate the time you took to inform all of Ramona of your intention of not doing business in town. You indicate in your article that you were not able to get contractors or business owners to return your calls — like this only happens in Ramona? Most businesses are smaller in Ramona and may lack resources that larger businesses have. Although it is no excuse for not getting a call back, I believe that there are many more business in San Diego that you would have the same issue with just by sheer volume. Your decision not to support businesses in Ramona means you do not support Ramona. Any taxes you pay down the hill support the people in the city of San Diego or another community. Perhaps the businesses in Ramona would thrive if people like you would not write them off. If everyone decided they would never frequent a business again when they had a bad experience, you would not have very many places left to support. There is no business that has a perfect service record. They do not exist. The best customer service any business can give is how they handle a situation when they fall short of a customer’s expectation. In my opinion, it is an opportunity to show how much they care about your business. Those are the businesses that set themselves apart from the rest. By the way, without an explanation from the businesses you mentioned in your article, I hope none of them had any personal tragedy that prevented them from calling you back. Your letter would be the icing on their cake. I do not utilize my business for any political views. However, if you feel that you do not want to support businesses because of their political views, that is your choice and you should keep it to yourself. Don’t use it as another opportunity to take a dig at Ramona. Dan Brown Ramona

Purpose of education Some points to ponder about the purpose of education. What is the purpose of education? It seems as though education can be instrumental in

producing monsters or saints. A short walk through history supports this argument. Is the basic mission of education to train hands for industry? I think not. The purpose of education is to reproduce and transmit the culture. Education is the process by which society transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another. Culture is organic but basic beliefs remain intact that make one an American. One aspect of education is utility, leading to a job as stressed by the emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The other aspect centers around human culture, especially literature's great books, history, art, music and philosophy. Just as an aside, if the young do not value classical music let them lend an ear to Mozart's “The Marriage of Figaro.” Of all art forms music ranks first because it best ministers to human need. This other aspect of education assists in teaching one to think incisively and critically in creating a just society. It is a great aid in building moral character. The next decades will find a liberal arts degree has great value as people go from gig to gig to keep employed. You are not paranoid — that is a robot following you with an eye on your job. Education transmits the culture and character counts. Teachers must be reminded of their awesome societal responsibility in helping create a responsible citizen and a just society.

Alliance, the Utilities Consumer Action Network (UCAN), former San Diego city attorney Mike Aguirre, the Protect Our Community Foundation (POC), and the San Diego Consumer Action Network (SDCAN), along with the Office of Ratepayer Advocacy (ORA) at the CPUC have been working to defeat this terrible application.

four in different countries. He played for the London Monarchs in 1991. The next year he played for the New York/New Jersey Knights at Giants Stadium. “After that second season in New York — I had played very well — and so I came back, ’cause it was a spring league, to San Diego…and was going to start to train and get ready for the next season, but I started substitute teaching and coaching high school football at Rancho Bernardo High,” he said. “I knew I wanted to teach and coach. That’s what my career was going to be when my playing days were over.” Then came a phone call informing him that the Los Angeles Raiders wanted to sign him. “And the Raiders were like my hometown because I grew up in the Bay Area,” said Baldwin. He signed with the Raiders in spring 1993 but after pre-season training and ready to make the team, he blew his knee out in practice. He was placed on injured reserve and stayed with the Raiders for a year. “At that point, I’m thinking OK, I’m probably done, time to move on.” Baldwin came back to San Diego and finished his teaching credential from Chapman University, while coaching and substitute teaching at Rancho Bernardo High. NFL had canceled its spring league after two years but in 1995 created a new spring league, NFL Europe, with six European teams. “So they had another draft…Just when I thought I was done, I get re-drafted by London, which was my original team. So I was at a crossroads: OK, what am I going to do?” Baldwin said he decided that if he could play in the spring, he could make enough

In spring 1995 he played in London, then returned and coached the RB team, seeing them win CIF championship, just as they did while he was there in 1993. After that the head RB football coach retired and Baldwin was offered the job. Still under contract for NFL Europe, Baldwin said that to take the job meant he would have to give up the spring league for which he had traveled to many different countries. “It was just a great, great opportunity to travel the world and get paid for it.” While deciding what to do, his alma mater, SDSU, offered him to be the assistant line coach. It was a graduate assistant job and not full time, but it paid for graduate school. Since SDSU only needed him during

summer and fall, he took the job and played another year with NFL Europe. One week from the season ending, Baldwin re-injured his knee and was flown back to the U.S. for rehabilitation. “At that point, I said, ‘I’m done.’” He went back to SDSU as a graduate assistant, earning a master’s degree in sports psychology. Baldwin was then offered a full-time job as line coach for the Division 1 Aztecs. He coached the offensive line from 1997 to 2004. After a change in coaching, he found himself looking for a new job. Although he was getting college offers, he knew that entailed a lot of traveling, taking time away from his wife and daughter. So he decided to stay local. He was offered a job at Hilltop High but then came the offer as head football coach for Ramona. “I knew I wanted to be in North County,” Baldwin said. He took it and moved to Ramona in 2007 and says he’s staying put. “Everything sort of worked out,” he said. The one thing he finds difficult in his position is finding football coaches, especially ones who are also teachers. “I really believe coaches are the best teachers on campus,” he said. Most of his football staff have full-time jobs and receive a stipend for coaching. Baldwin said he’s been blessed to find so many who are willing to do this. Baldwin is also is a football advisory representative for the CIF San Diego Section. In June, he was honored by CIF San Diego Section as Athletic Director of the Year. This year his Bulldogs have been doing very well. Their goal, he said, is to win the CIF championship.

Ramona Air Fair & Fly-In adds more activities BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Airport has expanded its annual Ramona Air Fair & Fly-In, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 7, with plenty of exciting activities for all ages. “It will be a great day full of lots of fun for kids, for parents, families — very family-oriented,” said Ramona Airport Manager Meadow Chase, speaking at the Ramona Rotary Club’s Sept. 19 meeting. The Air Fair & Fly-In will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the airport, 2926 Montecito Road, with free admission and parking. “There’ll be great food, live music…there will be quite a bit to do,” Chase said. That includes free Young Eagle flights for youths ages 8 to 17. For youngsters interested in aviation, the Young Eagle

flights will be an especially good opportunity, said Chase. “They gave me my first flight,” she said. A licensed pilot, Chase said she began flying instruction when she was 16 years old. Also planned are airplane rides with Air Group One in a warbird, free tethered rides in a Re/Max hot air balloon, formation flying, tours of the control tower and Classic Rotors Museum, and a kid’s zone with free face painting, balloons and piñatas. Noting that piñatas were popular at last year’s air fair, Chase said: “We upped the number of piñatas.” Special guests include Red Eagles Formation Team, Chuck Hall and his P-51 “Six Shooter,” and Tuskegee Airmen. Also attending will be

Smokey Bear with his 25-foot Smokey Bear Balloon, local fire and police departments, and the Ramona American Graffiti Club and Over the Hill Gang with classic cars Also on display will be airplanes and helicopters, along with Cal Fire’s and the U.S. Forest Service’s fire-fighting aircraft. Entertaining the crowds will be live country music from Del Rio Band and KSON radio with a DJ. Visitors can grab a bite to eat from one of the food vendors or take a chance with opportunity drawings. Chase noted that this is the 22nd year for the Ramona Air Fair & Fly-In. Her corporation, Chase Airport Management Inc., contracts with the County of San Diego to manage Ramona and Fallbrook airports.

Wines, brews, more added to 3rd Annual Taste of Ramona Selected Ramona wineries, breweries and craft spirit shops have been added to the 3rd Annual Taste of Ramona on Saturday, Oct. 7, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Presented by Ramona Chamber of Commerce, the event will feature 22 restaurants, with some pairing their food with Ramona wines, brews and/or Cheeses from the Cave. Tickets at $20 per person are available at the chamber office at 960 Main St., San Vicente Resort at 24157 San Vicente Road, and Pinto Thai, 2330 Main St., or online at ramonachamber.com. Only 300 tickets are available, so advance purchase is recommended. With their ticket,

guests can spend the day exploring the foods and drinks served. A free shuttle will transport them to most venues. “It’s a day to relax, have fun and enjoy time with friends and family, while trying new tasty treats,” said event organizers. “After all, the purpose of this event is to invite you all to try something new at Ramona’s finest eateries.” The chamber office will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and any remaining tickets, if any, will be available for purchase. For more information, call the chamber at 760-789-1311 or view the Taste of Ramona tour map and participating restaurants on the chamber’s website.

Teachers, first responders benefit from SDGE rebates Teachers and first responders such as sheriff’s deputies and firefighters are eligible for a $1,000 rebate on the purchase or lease of an electric vehicle under a three-year, $500,000 San Diego Gas & Electric program that was announced Wednesday. In the first year, 300 of those who live in the SDG&E service territory of San Diego and southern Orange counties will be eligible on a first-come, first-served basis. “Teachers and first responders are the bedrock of our community, they give so much to our community,” said Caroline Winn, SDG&E's chief operating officer. “We know a lot of them enter public service driven by a desire to make the world a better place, and many are motivated to reduce their carbon footprint. The

EV rebate program is one way we can show our appreciation and help them make the switch to driving electric.” She said the company is using shareholder funds, not revenues from ratepayers, to pay for the discounts. When added to rebates offered by state and federal agencies and automakers, prospective buyers can knock as much as $20,000 off the price of an EV, according to the utility. While some EVs can be had for roughly the mid-$20,000s, sticker prices for most are in the $30,000s and $40,000s, according to Plug In America, a nonprofit advocacy group that partnered with SDG&E to carry out the program.

Six churches establish Love Ramona BY ALEXIS NAGEM Six Ramona churches have formed Love Ramona, an organization dedicated to helping and actively participating in the community. “It’s not a church centered thing, it’s a community centered thing,” said Love Ramona member and Mountain View Community Church Pastor John Villagrana. “So, it’s started by churches, but it was just started by churches. Churches just wanted to be the catalyst for setting up a volunteer opportunity for the community.” Churches involved include Mountain View Community Church, Grace Community Church, Calvary Chapel, New Life Community Church, St. Mary’s in the Valley Episcopal Church and Ramona Southern Baptist. “What was encouraging was to see that all the other churches wanted to do it,” said Love Ramona member and Pastor Sean Hogan, also with Mountain View Community Church. “It was just a matter of getting it started, getting the meeting together where we’re coming together and saying, ‘Hey, can we all agree that we love our community and that we want to love the community with the love of Jesus that we have?’

And we could all agree on that. Though there’s so many different denominations and so many differences in how our theology is and stuff, that’s something that we can rally around and best serve our community.” The group focuses on working large-scale projects within the community. On June 3, Love Ramona volunteers helped tidy up the Ramona Community Garden. Volunteers also served at the four-day Ramona Country Fair in August. “As of right now, those are the only two projects that we’ve done,” Hogan said. “We had a conversation after the fair about potential projects coming up.” The group may help with the Main Street Halloween Trick or Treating event on Oct. 31 and the Ramona Christmas Tree Lighting on Dec. 2. Although churches started the organization, persons do not have to be a member of any congregation to participate in Love Ramona volunteer opportunities. Interested parties may connect with the group using Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. The group’s handle is loveramonaca. “We’re going to be posting stuff that we’re doing, and we’ve been telling people at the fair

when they come up and ask ‘how do I get involved’ we say, ‘Follow the Facebook page and if you’re not doing something that day and you want to get involved, you can ask ‘Who’s the contact for this project?’” said Hogan. “Because it’s not always going to be John or myself, there might be people from the other churches because we don’t want it to be a Mountain View led thing. We want it to be the churches and we want to make sure that’s clear, because it’s not Mountain Views group. These are the churches of Ramona coming together and that’s why we call it Love Ramona. There’s no, like, ‘sponsored by these different churches.’ It’s just a group of people who want to serve the community.” Love Ramona volunteer DaJuan Keys said the community responded well to the group’s presence at the fair. “A lot of people from the community, they’re actually pretty receptive about it,” he said. “I see a lot of people that live in Ramona that have been in Ramona for a while. There was even one guy that said that he’s been here since there was only one stoplight, so that pretty much seems to be everyone in Ramona. It’s just a town where people

come and then they stay and they have family and it’s generations and generations. So, when people see something like this and they already love Ramona from a personal standpoint and when they see that people want to give back, they’re actually very interested about it. I honestly think the community’s very receptive of it and I think it’ll grow the more that people start seeing people from Love Ramona doing stuff around the community. I think it will end up growing a lot.” Love Ramona had its first official meeting in November of 2016. Representatives from each church meet once a month to pray for the community and discuss possible projects. Board members then go back to their churches and decide how they can contribute to the upcoming events. “You’ll have different groups and some churches that don’t have somebody representing their church at our board meetings. We still get stuff out to them and they promote it at their churches so that they’re giving people the option by saying, ‘This is something that a community of people are doing in Ramona. If you want to be a part of it, go check it out,’” said Hogan.

Congregations work together to serve community Serve Ramona, a group of Ramona churches working together to minister to the community through a variety of service projects, will join participate in Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church’s “God’s Work, Our Hands” program on Oct. 21 and 22. Formed three years ago, Serve Ramona has

participated in community projects such as: Santa Maria Creek Cleanup and removal of invasive flora species; a mobile shower and clothing program for the homeless; cleanup and painting at Ramona schools; fundraising for Ramona Food and Clothes Closet, Ramona Senior Center, and Ramona Pregnancy Care

Caring, Gentle Dentistry

Clinic; developing disaster preparedness programs that embrace interfaith cooperation; and two Free Farmers Market food distribution programs at First Congregational Church and the Ramona Terrace Estates senior mobile home park. Although some of the projects have been small, the goal is to develop a strong

“Ramonans serving Ramonans movement” that grows into a pervasive service-minded culture by working together and expressing the love of God to those in need, said Arthur Blanck, who started Serve Ramona. Last October, the Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church initiated a “God’s Work, Our Hands” SEE SERVING, A9

Bulldogs finish season’s first half undefeated BY JOE NAIMAN Turnabout was fair play as Ramona High School's football team beat Vista in what Ramona head coach Damon Baldwin calls a well-played game. "It's great. It was very good. Vista beat us last year twice," Baldwin said. The Sept. 22 game was not only at Vista but also on the Panthers' homecoming night. "Great result," said Baldwin. "It was a great win." Last year Ramona's homecoming game was a 28-20 Vista victory, and the Panthers took a 23-11 triumph in the CIF Division I playoff game at Ramona. The first-round playoff loss left the Bulldogs with a final 2016 season record of 5-6, so Ramona matched that victory total with this year's Palomar League win over the Panthers to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 league record along with the 5-0 overall mark.

The Bulldogs had to rely on the ground game with its associated blocks against Vista. "Vista does a great job against the pass because they're so athletic and fast," Baldwin said.

Ramona quarterback Casey Buggeln was limited to two completions for 17 yards on eight attempts, but Ramona gained 316 yards from rushing plays and another 132 yards of field position on kickoff returns including a 95-yard touchdown by Tristan Stacy.

Caleb Berman and Sean McDonald each had two rushing touchdowns against the Panthers. Ramona's defense had three sacks. "The defense made big plays and did a phenomenal job against the pass. We just gave up three or four big runs on missed assignments," Baldwin said. The score was 14-6 at halftime. "We basically made adjustments and the kids executed them," Baldwin said. Those adjustments turned the 8-point halftime lead into a 16-point margin of victory. "We're just glad to get out of the first half undefeated," Baldwin said. This is a bye week for the Bulldogs, so Ramona starts the second half of the regular season Oct. 6 at home against Westview. "It's going to be exciting," Baldwin said.

League play starts Friday at home Team reaches semifinals in La Jolla tourney BY JOE NAIMAN Valley Center High School girls volleyball team travels to Ramona High School Friday for the Bulldogs' first Valley League home match of 2017. Ramona's preparation for league play includes a third-place finish in the Sept. 22-23 La Jolla Coastal Classic tournament. "Going 5 and 1 with the degree of illness throughout the team was just a reflection of who these girls are," said Ramona coach Connie Halfaker. The one loss was in a semifinal match to Dana Hills, which won the tournament championship. The loss to Dana Hills was Ramona's first defeat since losing a Sept. 8 contest to San Dieguito Academy. A seven-match winning streak began Sept. 13 with a 25-20, 25-19, 23-25, 27-25 home victory over Scripps Ranch. "We were very much in control the first SEE VOLLEYBALL, A14

Carmel/Asics Invitational at Morley Field in San Diego on Saturday. Those who did participate were rewarded with ideal running conditions: an overcast, cool day. Ramona had eight runners who ran the same race last year and each came away with personal bests. The last race of the day saw Lauren Peurifoy, a junior from Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, blister the course and set an all-time record with a time of 14:46.8 over the 2.7-mile course.

Ramona ran in Division 2 with all those races taking place in the morning. Each of the divisions were divided into four races: Freshman, sophomore, junior and senior/invite. The senior/invite race included top schools and runners from all grades competing for a team title. The sophomore girls race was the only race that had enough Ramona athletes to score as a team. They placed third out of 12 teams. Last year Amy Brown

placed third in freshman race with a time of 17:23. This year, she went through the first mile of the 2.7-mile course in fifth place at a modest 6:05. With a steep hill right after the mile, Brown passed two girls from San Diego — Carolyn Calvert, who was unbeaten in her first three races this season, and Alyssa Ruiz, the current mile record holder from Serra High School. With 200 meters to go, Brown passed Diane Molina from Costa Mesa to finish second in a time of 16:21. SEE RUNNERS, A14

FROM VOLLEYBALL, A11 two games," Halfaker said. "Glad to know we could get it back." Ramona came back during the Sept. 20 home match against Mission Vista. The three-game Ramona victory had 25-23, 25-18, and 25-18 scores. ." "We had a really strong offensive showing," Halfaker said. McKenna Marshall led Ramona with 15 kills while Amanda Donais and Gracie Seits had 12 kills apiece. Jilian Martin had 32 assists. Sierra Adkins led the team with a 2.46 passing average and also led the Bulldogs with three serving aces. "Everybody did their part and Jilian did a really good job of moving the ball around," Halfaker said. On the defensive side, Donais recorded five blocks while Alyssa Travis added four blocks. Adkins contributed 11 digs, Marshall and Donais each had 10 digs, and Seits provided nine digs. Ramona's Sept. 22 tournament matches were at the Coast Volleyball Club. The Bulldogs had a 25-22, 23-25, 15-12 triumph over Carlsbad. "We were very evenly matched," Halfaker said. "They had evenly effective and various offensive weapons, but our defense outperformed theirs." The match against La Habra was a 25-23, 25-20 Ramona victory. Palo Verde High School of Las Vegas took Ramona to three games in the La Jolla Coastal Classic but could not stave off a Bulldogs victory to give Ramona the pool championship. "It was a very even pool. It was a real competitive tournament," Halfaker said. "We had to fight for everything."

Ramona took a 25-18, 25-21 victory over Palo Verde in the Las Vegas Invitational, but the Panthers obtained a 25-15 victory to start the La Jolla Coastal Classic match. "We came out real slow," Halfaker said. "They were just hurting and exhausted." Adkins, Martin and Seits were ill or injured when the Bulldogs played Palo Verde, but a 26-24 victory in the second game and a 15-13 triumph in game 3 swayed the match in Ramona's favor. "It was very satisfying to see just a complete program involvement," Halfaker said. The match concluded at 9:45 p.m. The Bulldogs' Sept. 23 play was at La Jolla High School and began at 9:30 a.m. The Bulldogs defeated the Lancers in 25-22 and 25-23 sets. Ramona needed three games to defeat Point Loma in the quarterfinals. The second game against Point Loma was a 25-21 Ramona triumph, and the Bulldogs took a 15-9 victory in game 3. Dana Hills began the semifinal with a 25-18 win, but Ramona forced a third and deciding set with a 25-20 victory in the second game. Dana Hills advanced to the finals with a 15-13 triumph in the third game. "It was not mistakes. We gave everything and played well," Halfaker said. The tournament consisted of 36 teams. "We were obviously very proud of the kids," Halfaker said. "Each of our offensive players came through at just the right time to make something happen." Donais was named to the all-tournament team. During the tournament Donais had 53 kills in 131 swings with 11 hitting errors for a .321 hitting percentage, 48 digs, six blocks and a 2.10 passing average. Seits led the team with 9 blocks and with 16 serving aces. Adkins had 66 digs and Marshall added 51 digs.

FROM RUNNERS, A11 Brown’s time was the third fastest for any female Ramona runner on that course. Loretta Kilmer ran 15:22 in 2002 and Gwendalyn Gibson won the senior race in 2016 with a time of 16:00. Brown’s time was also the ninth fastest time for all San Diego runners on Saturday and 17th fastest over-all out of 1,124 female runners. Other finishers for the Ramona sophomore team were Alyssa Davis, Gracie Knowd, Michaela Meskell and Kensey Sapper. Davis ran her best race of the season, completing the course in 18:08. Her time was a 1:48 improvement over the same race last year. She placed 28th out of 160 runners. Knowd was Ramona’s third finisher placing 53rd with a time of 19:01. Meskell improved her time from last year by 46 seconds placing 57th with a time of 19:21. Sapper was Ramona’s fifth scorer in the sophomore race finishing in 21:39, a 53-second improvement. Madison Huckey competed in the senior/invite race and placed 54th out of 153 runners with a time of 19:15. Ramona’s top freshman, Jennifer Hull, placed 15th out of 148 runners in her race with a time of 18:39. The boys were without two of their top runners, Mitchell Sutter and Cameron Klein, due to injuries but Jack Clough and Gavin Roche turned in personal bests on Saturday. Clough placed 13th out of 241 runners in the junior race with a time of 16:55 over the hilly 3.1-mile course, a 33-second improvement. Roche has completed every race so far this season with at least a minute improvement over the previous year. He improved his time by 1:50 to finish 39th in a time of 17:39, and Kyle Beals ran 20:19. Shawn McClure placed 85th out of 228 runners with a time of 18:10. In the sophomore race Andy Dunker ran 20:37, a whopping 3:17 improvement over last year’s race. Head Coach Sherri Edwards said she was pleased with her team’s performance. “I was very proud of how everyone competed on Saturday on a tough Morley Field course.” said Edwards. “All returning runners improved on their times from last year. Hopefully we’ll have Cameron (Klein), Mitchell (Sutter) and Lexi (Waples) back for our next meet.” Dana Hills Invitational: Boys Senior and newly named co-captain Shawn McClure placed 65th out of 197 runners in a time of 16:51. In the Junior race, Jack Clough lowered his time from last year by 37 seconds and placed 11th out of 215 runners with a time of 15:55. Gavin Roche continued a torrid junior season campaign by blowing past his personal best, finishing 19th in 16:22. Cameron Klein ran his first race since he broke his toe and finished a

respectable 27th in 16:36. Ramona also saw the return of second-year captain Mitchell Sutter. Recovering from shin splints, Sutter went hard through the first mile and finished the last two miles as a workout with the goal to be pain free. Mission accomplished as he experienced no discomfort after the race. Sutter placed 93rd in 18:08, only 20 seconds off his best time on that course. Kyle Beals placed 139th in 19:22, a 1:43 improvement over last year. In the Sophomore race Andy Dunker placed 79th out of 233 runners in 18:00 and Jakob Linares placed 142nd finishing in 19:55. The Freshman race had two Ramona finishers: Trent Connely 93rd in 19:18 and Scott Wiggins completing the course in 21:46. Dana Hills Invitational: Girls Senior Madison Huckey placed 34th out of 112 runners in 20:44, a 30-second improvement over last year. Huckey was encouraged that she had run her best time on every course this year. Ramona also saw the return of first-year captain Lexi Waples from injury and illness. Still feeling some of the effects of her cold, she placed 24th out of 139 runners in 19:54. Carmen O’Campo placed 93rd in 23:09, a 21-second improvement over last season. In the Sophomore race co-captain Amy Brown ran her personal best on the three-mile course. She placed second out of 161 runners in 17:46, a 1:38 improvement from last year. Her time was the second fastest for a Ramona female runner on this course since Ramona began racing at Dana Hills in 2011. Gwendalyn Gibson won her senior race last year in a Ramona record time of 17:30. Michaela Meskell crossed the line in 30th place in 20:20, a 1:13 improvement. Alyssa Davis placed 41st in 20:36, lowering her best time by 1:53. Kensey Sapper placed 90th completing the course in 23:09, a 50-second improvement from last year. Freshman Jennifer Hull placed 33rd out of 180 runners in 21:14 and Maddie Perkins 147th in 26:02. “The Dana Hills Invitational is always a fun meet for athletes because it is a fast flat course,” said Edwards. “As with last week almost every returning runner lowered their time from last year’s race. Especially impressive performances from Amy Brown and Jack Clough were highlights for Ramona. It was also great to get Cameron Klein, Mitchell Sutter and Lexi Waples back from injuries.” Ramona will have its first league cluster meet next Friday. The girls team will have their first opportunity to defend their title as Valley League Champions. “I am hoping with each week of training and competition our teams start to believe they can qualify for the state meet at the end of the season,” said Edwards.

RAMONA SENTINEL - SEPTEMBER 28, 2017 - PAGE A15

‘Phenomenal Five’ debut in Olive Peirce race BY DAN BROWN For several years elementary schools in Ramona have held cross-country races at different venues. These races have become known as the Quad Crown Series. Many talented runners have gone on to have success in a variety of sports at Ramona High School. Some have even become cross-country and track stars. Just before the school year began at Olive Peirce, the new head cross-country coach, Giovanni “Coach Gio” Ortiz was told of a phenomenal group of five boys coming into the middle school. These boys placed at the top of all Quad Crown races for at least four years. Not sure if any of these boys would run cross country at Olive Peirce, the coach was measured in his enthusiasm. Three of the five runners showed up for practice the first week. A few days before the first race, the other two joined the team. Because these five boys had not been running over the summer, the workouts were easy to moderate as they became used to running longer distances. Most had not raced since last school year. This made it difficult for Ortiz to gauge how talented they were. On Wednesday, Sept. 13, he got his first opportunity to see them race. His comment after the race: “Wow, these guys are fast!” The “Phenomenal Five” are Connor Klein, Travis Petton, Isaac and Diego Ramos, and Gage Wilson. Ortiz has been the assistant coach at Olive Peirce for cross-country and track the past two years after running track at Ramona High School for four years. He is joined this season by assistant coach Skylar Warnock, a senior at Ramona High and a sprinter on the track team.

DAN BROWN

Dubbed the Phenomenal Five, Connor Klein, Travis Petton, Issac Ramos, Gage Wilson and Diego Ramos are considered among the best groups of seventh-grade cross-country runners ever at Olive Peirce Middle School. Olive Peirce competed at Dos Picos Park against Sullivan, San Marcos, Martin Luther King (MLK) and North Terrace Middle Schools on Oct. 20. In the seventh-grade race, Klein won with a time of 8:42 over the roughly 1.5-mile course. Petton placed second in 9:00, Isaac Ramos was third in 9:34, Wilson fifth in 9:51 and Diego Ramos sixth in 9:59. There were 75 runners in their race. The eighth-grade race ended in a tie between the San Marcos and Sullivan. Each of those teams only had three of their top runners break 10:00 and the winning time would have placed third in the seventh-grade race.

Other top finishers for Olive Peirce in the seventh-grade boys race were Trey Miles, 26th, 11:11; Jason Altstatt, 27th, 11:12; Van Salas, 28th, 11:16; Luke Allen, 43rd, 12:26; Dwight Koller, 55th, 13:47; and Gabe Hall, 59th, 13:55. Mycah Mendoza, John Steinhart and Trent Reyes also participated in the race. In the seventh-grade girls race, Jennifer Parker was the top finisher for Olive Peirce placing second out of 65 runners, covering the course in 10:37. Janet Cedillo went out with the leaders and held on to place seventh in 11:01. Madison Marriot placed 18th in 11:52, and Alyssa

Guzman placed 24th in 12:34. Other participants in the seventh-grade girls race were Frankie-Ray Koller and Tiffanie Harvey. In the eighth-grade girls race, Mary Loring placed second out of 32 runners with a time of 9:51. Melanie Lozano was 9th in 11:57, Ava Kapelczak 16th in 12:33 and Paige Beals 18th in 12:41. The eighth-grade boys race saw Christopher Allen go out with the leaders, fall back to 10th in the first half mile and then battle back to finish fifth out of 46 runners with a time of 9:37. Diego Saucedo placed 10th in 9:55, Brycen Brown 24th in 11:05, and Spencer Perkins 28th in 11:20. On Sept. 21, Olive Peirce traveled to Martin Luther King Middle school in Oceanside. With a few runners under the weather and a couple more not able to make the trip, Olive Peirce didn’t score in all the races. In the boys sixth/seventh-grade race, Travis Petton placed second out of 272 runners in a blistering time of 8:26 over the 1.5-mile course. Jason Altstatt finished in 82nd place with a time of 10:15, and Trey Miles was 107th in 10:41. In the eighth-grade race, Saucedo finished 31st out of 150 runners in 9:10, Brycen Brown was 85th in 10:09, and Spencer Perkins 92nd in 10:16. In the girls 6/7 race, Cedillo placed 17th out of 250 runners in 9:56. Parker went out with the leaders and finished 27th in 10:16, and Marriott was 30th in 10:22. Loring had a great kick at the end of her race to place second out of 106 runners in 9:16. Mariah Harness ran very well for her first race of the season placing 17th in a time of 9:53 and Melanie Lozano finished in 41st in 10:42.

Kathleen Estelle ‘Kay’ Johnson

Arnold K. ‘Arnie’ Fry

June 3, 1923 - September 4, 2017

Ramona — Kathleen Estelle “Kay” Johnson was born on June 3, 1923, in Chicago, IL to Frederick E. and aileen Estelle Fax. Her father was one of six children born to John Henry and Elizabeth Thomas Edwards, and the first born in the United States. The family had emigrated from Wales on may 14, 1890, coming into the Port of new York on the ship, Wyoming. John Henry Edwards was a stone mason and a part-time minister in Wales; when the family settled in Chicago, John Henry became owner of the family stone cutting business. The Edwards clan was a very close knit family, and at one time many members of the family (including Kay and her parents) occupied apartments in a six-plex apartment house that John Henry and Elizabeth owned. It was while Kay and her family were living in the apartment house that she developed a deep closeness to her cousin, Harry “Bud” Edwards, who also lived there with his parents, Henry and Erna. Bud was just a couple months older than Kay, the two of them were both only children, and they developed almost a brother and sister bond that lasted throughout their lives.

Kay married John Clinton Stenger on may 24, 1947; John was killed in action in Korea. on December 1, 1956, Kay married Howard Robert “Howie” Johnson, and the couple lived in mokena, IL. after Howie’s death, Kay moved to Ramona Terrace Estates in Ramona, Ca. She then moved to Cypress Court, a senior living facility in Escondido, where she lived her final days happily and actively. Kay passed away on September 4, 2017, in Escondido. She had many friends and admirers both in Ramona and Escondido and continued to keep in touch with all her cousins in San Diego, Texas, Philadelphia, Florida and Wales. Kay will be deeply missed by family and friends. Private family services will be held at graveside. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

Battle of Sexes traces first shots to Ramona BY LOGAN JENKINS o Ramonans raised with wood rackets in their hands, the cinematic revival of Billie Jean King’s 1973 whuppin’ of hustler Bobby Riggs sparks a meteor shower of memories. “Battle of the Sexes,” a major film starring Emma Stone and Steve Carell, was released Sept. 22, smartly timed to follow the U.S. Open Tennis Championships in New York. Fittingly, an all-American women’s final, a surefire crowd pleaser, was guaranteed. Here’s a personal sampler of locally angled recollections of the Hullabaloo in Houston: • Without our Battle of the Sexes in Ramona, King would never have been crowned feminist warrior goddess in the Astrodome. The match would never have been played. The original idea to pit a current champion in her prime against a 55-year-old junkballer long past his was a marketing gimmick to sell homes in Ramona. Ray Watt’s San Diego Country Estates was just getting off the ground in the early ’70s. Tennis champion Tony Trabert, who’d heard the vitamin chugging Riggs scoff at the

notion that women’s tennis equaled men’s in commercial value, floated a televised match in the Estates to promote the development’s brand. At a press conference at the Westgate Hotel, Riggs challenged King to play him for $5,000. King declined the bait, but Margaret Court, an Aussie ranked No. 2 in the world, agreed to play on Mother’s Day, of all days. Wielding a metal racket like an instrument of torture, Riggs sliced and diced Court into humiliating submission. After his victory, Riggs turned into the wry toast of the sporting world. He mugged for the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time, daring King to come out from her tent and fight the self-proclaimed chauvinist pig. As big a winner as Riggs was in the first battle, Watt, who turned a $30,000 investment into international publicity, scored bigger. • Ten years ago, I was insanely lucky to play on a senior league team representing the La Jolla Tennis Club that won a national title and was rewarded with an intimate dinner with Billie Jean King in Palm Desert. I had to rub my eyes, but that

night we felt like the stars in her bespectacled eyes. First, we were a team, to her the secret to youth tennis development. “What do kids get when they sign up for soccer?” she asked us. “A T-shirt and a team with friends. What do they get in tennis? A lesson.” She also took to us because we came from the raffish La Jolla Rec, public courts that may have reminded her of the Long Beach courts where she played in the 1950s. From a blue-collar family, she instinctively rebelled against the sport’s country-club exclusiveness. By the end of the night, she knew something about every player on the team — and their wives. When I was introduced, she immediately asked after Barry Lorge, the San Diego Union sports editor and columnist in whose Coronado house King had stayed for years. Back home, I called Lorge and marveled at King’s uncanny curiosity. Lorge recalled an indoor tournament in 1968 when he, a Harvard student working part-time for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, had been granted a few moments with the best woman player in the

world. “The first time I interviewed her, she was interviewing me,” he said. “Those eyes of hers look straight at you, and you know she’s not shining you on. There’s a genuine curiosity. I’ve never met anyone vaguely like her.” The day after the Palm Desert dinner, King drove to Coronado to sit and talk for three hours with her old friend struggling with cancer. • Les Buck, a top-ranked senior tennis player, let drop recently that he played — twice! — with King as she was preparing for the most memorable match in tennis history. (It’s an outlandish superlative, but you can make the case.) In 1973, Buck had just started working in finance at Sea Pines Plantation in Hilton Head, S.C. He had played junior and college tennis. Won the All-Navy tournament. King was looking for men who could produce the kind of off-speed unpredictability for which the wily Riggs was famous. The Sea Pines tennis pro suggested Buck, an all-court player with all the shots. “She was very nice,” Buck recalled in the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club’s bar. “She encouraged me to mix it up. ‘Give me junk,’ she said.” They played out points, but Buck doesn’t recall actual sets. “She was all business. She wanted to win the match. She thought it was important.” They played on a fast synthetic surface that King assumed was similar to how the Astrodome court would play. I asked Buck if he could have beaten the best woman in the world. He looked to the heavens and refused to answer such an ungentlemanly question directly. “I think I would have held my own,” he allowed. “If she’d have beaten me, it wouldn’t have been badly.” As we were talking, Lornie Kuhle, Riggs’ friend and technical adviser to the new movie, happened by. I asked Kuhle if he and Riggs had trained hard before the big match. “They probably trained here,” Buck said, waving at the bar. “Whatever I did, it didn’t work,” Kuhle said with mock sheepishness. “Bobby was way better off by losing than by winning,” Kuhle said. “They wouldn’t be making movies about him today if he had won.” Logan Jenkins is a columnist for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

State Supreme Court agrees to review RMWD case BY KAREN BRAINARD At the request of the Ramona Municipal Water District, the state Supreme Court has agreed to review the appellate court decision earlier this year that would have allowed a lawsuit challenging the district’s sewer service charge to proceed. “It’s a win for the district,” said Thomas Ace, RMWD board president. The case, filed in 2014 on behalf of commercial property owners Eugene Plantier and Orrin Day, claims that RMWD’s sewer service charge is unlawful and violates California's Proposition 218 because the district imposes a sewer service charge based on equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) value that bears no rational relationship to a parcel's actual wastewater use. The case was bifurcated into two phases with Phase 1 determining whether the plaintiffs had exhausted their

administrative remedies by first protesting the fees at the district’s Prop. 218 public hearings on proposed sewer fee increases. The trial court found that the plaintiffs had not done so and therefore did not have standing in court. That decision prevented the case from moving into Phase 2 to determine whether the sewer charge is lawful. The plaintiffs appealed the ruling and won with the court finding that the Prop. 218 notices state the public hearings are to address protests over proposed fee increases as opposed to protests over the method used to charge the fee. That decision was issued on June 13. Attorneys for the water district petitioned the state Supreme Court for a rehearing. The court agreed on Sept. 13 to grant a review. If the state Supreme Court favors the appellate court ruling, the case will be able move on to the second phase.

RAMONA SENTINEL - SEPTEMBER 28, 2017 - PAGE A21

A CHP officer writes his report at the scene of a two-car collision on Main Street in front of Starbucks last Thursday afternoon.

Girl, 10, suffers major injuries in T-bone crash Family friend starts GoFundMe effort

A 10-year-old Ramona girl is being treated in Rady Children’s Hospital for major injuries she suffered in a two-vehicle collision on Main Street in front of Starbucks just before 2:30 p.m. Sept. 21. A student at Ramona Elementary School, she was a passenger in a 1999 Honda Accord driven by an 18-year-old Ramona woman when the car was struck by a 2014 Toyota Sienna on Main Street in front of Starbucks just south of 13th Street. According to the California Highway Patrol report, the northbound Honda was making a left turn to go into the Starbucks driveway when the southbound Sienna struck it on the right side, causing major damage to both vehicles. Paramedics transported the 18-year-old, who suffered moderate injuries, to Palomar Medical Center Escondido. The 32-year-old Ramona woman driving the Toyota was uninjured, CHP reported. CHP Officer J. Peck noted that neither drugs nor alcohol are suspected in causing the collision. A friend of the girl’s family started a GoFundMe page that as of Monday had raised $2,400 of the $3,000 goal. She identified the injured girl as Naomi Lopez and said Naomi is in an induced coma. GoFundMe donations will go to Naomi’s mother to help ease the financial burden Naomi’s family is experiencing, the friend said.

FROM WOODSON, A1 room for 175 cars could be put on the land while the rest of it could be preserved as open space. A trail from the lot to the access road that people climb to get to the top of the mountain could be built. “I don’t want to get hopes too high, but I’m excited,” Jacob told the group at the end of the tour. “I think we have a solution. On Oct. 2, hopefully we will be able to solidify this solution and move forward with implementation.” A representative of Taylor’s approached the county a couple months ago with the idea of allowing a parking lot on the property, perhaps in exchange for concessions that would enable him to develop the rest of it. During a meeting in the fire station that preceded the tour, Jacob told Taylor it would be unethical to tie the two things together. Then she asked: “Would you want to sell this property?” Taylor responded: “I would definitely do that,” though later he made it clear he would need to make a profit off the $1.2 million investment he made in the land in 2011. Taylor told the group he lives near the access road that people use to climb the mountain. He said he routinely sees people almost get sideswiped while walking along the highway, drivers stop in the slow lane in order to back up into an open spot along the shoulder and others do

U-turns on the highway to get to an open spot. “It’s kind of scary,” he said. “I’ve seen dogs jump out of the cars. I’ve almost hit people. My wife has almost hit people. My daughter has almost hit people. It’s only a matter of time.” Cal Fire Chief Tony Mecham attended the meeting. Cal Fire cares what happens in the area for several reasons. Hikers are constantly coming to the Mt. Woodson station asking to use the bathrooms or looking for directions to the road up the mountain. Cars also at times have blocked or hindered the driveway from the station onto the highway, delaying response time. Several members of the Ramona Community Planning Group also attended the tour and said they were very pleased with the possible solution. Casey Lynch, who heads a subcommittee for the group about the Mt. Woodson problem, said not only is the parking dangerous, the entire situation has people who live in the area up in arms. They complain about trash, people publicly urinating, and fear for their safety. An analysis of the land’s environmental value will be completed in short order. Should the property have attributes that would warrant it being preserved, it would be eligible for county purchase. A meeting will be held on Oct. 2 in the supervisor’s office to see where things stand.

Quail Mutterings BY CHI VARNADO

Writing: Navigating the obstacles

must admit that I’ve been negligent about writing Quail Mutterings lately. My excuse is the same as everyone else’s: No time. But the fact of the matter is we all have the same amount of time available to us in a day and, for the most part, we simply decide, either consciously or unconsciously, how to spend it. For me, besides following my usual “to-do” lists, I’ve chosen to work on my other writing for the time being. After retiring from The Dance Centre over a year ago, I’ve begun writing a fictional series about a dance studio. Each novel will focus on a different story ballet and include the adventures of some of the dancers. There doesn’t seem to be much available in this vein for 8 to 14-year-old ballet-obsessed girls. There are plenty of books for horse-crazy kids so why not for dancers? They’re just as rabid for stories about their passion and so, I figured, who better to tackle this project than me? Thirty-seven years of fodder ought to keep me going for quite a while I should think. Last spring, when I had the rough draft of the first few chapters done, I met with a group of young dancers at a local elementary school. Each followed along on their pages as I, or a former student of mine, read aloud. We had the best time. Some of them contributed ideas about things they would like to see included in the story or ways to make it more

interesting. It was a win/win. I got tips from my target audience and they got “extra credit” for participating. Since finishing the full rough draft of the manuscript I, once again, am attending writers’ groups and classes. Having my work read and critiqued is essential in this process. The endless details to address in the re-writing and editing phases, such as believability, character point of view and arc of plotting, are next to impossible to get right without others’ feedback. So now, back to the quail for a moment. I can only afford brief visits to mental wanderings while entrenched in my chosen endeavor. There are literally hundreds of quail in the canyon these days. Yesterday morning, during my run, I accidentally flushed out dozens of them from the sumac bushes lining the trail. I panted my apologies and carried on. After cooling down I took a cold shower — not by choice, just no hot water. I suppose I’ll have to turn away from the writing project again and attend to the demands of a no-longer-functioning water heater. Things were going so well! Why now? This morning, after a short writing session, it was time for a break. I headed down to the kitchen for a drink of water. Before taking a sip I noticed a fairly large bird lying in the dirt outside. It reminded me of a Porwil, but it was late morning, so that

wasn’t right. I guess it startled when I went outside and it took off. Through the leaves of the red berry bush I noticed movement on the other side. I held still and watched. It was a big, beautiful doe. While watching her walk toward the trail, I looked around for the two fawns who usually come around with their mother. Perhaps this was a different doe. Anyway, she made my day. Since I’ve committed to this writing project for now, I’m not going to lead any of the docent-led hikes out at Ramona Grasslands Old Survey Road this fall. I will, instead, take walks on my own when I feel the need to break up the writing concentration sessions. Power hikes, walking meditations, trail running — whatever it takes. Plus working, of course. That goes without saying. And then, after looking up the mountain at the wet boulder beneath our water tank, I hiked up there to play detective. Great. It’s just what I thought it was. Our water storage vessel has sprung a leak! The fun never stops. The writing goes on hold once again. Chi Varnado is a Ramona resident.

Her collection of essays, “Quail Mutterings,” can be found on chivarnado.com.
