State test results called ‘deplorable’ BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON While most Ramona Unified School District students showed progress on 2016 state tests compared with 2015, 46 percent are not meeting English standards and 62 percent are not meeting math standards. Assistant Superintendent Theresa Grace presented results of the 2016 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) tests during the school board meeting last Thursday. “I don’t see anything to celebrate here, quite frankly,” said board member Bob Stoody. “I’d like to get more specific on why these goals are so low.” Trustee Dawn Perfect agreed, saying that the percentage of students not meeting standards is deplorable. “I know our teachers are working hard and our students are working hard, but obviously we’re not working hard in quite the right way,” she said. Pointing to comparisons showing 52 percent of students statewide are not meeting English standards and 63 percent are not meeting math standards, Perfect asked, “So what’s up with our standards? Are our students doing poorly, are our standards off kilter with what we’re teaching?” During Grace’s report, trustee John Rajcic asked several times, “How is that standard determined?” CAASPP assessment replaced the state’s Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) system and is part of the state’s Common Core program started three years ago. Both systems tested students in grades three through eight and grade 11. Unlike STAR, which tested for accountability, SEE TESTS, A2

Free heart screenings offered Kirkman announces

Open to ages 12-25

An organization started by the parents of a teenage boy who died from sudden cardiac arrest will provide free heart screenings for students in seventh through 12th grades at Ramona High School on Sunday, Oct. 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Persons up to age 25 will also be screened. The Prevent Fatal Cardiac Arrest in Youth screenings are offered by the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation, which has screened at least 20,000 teens for heart abnormalities that put about 1 in 100 students at risk for sudden cardiac arrest, a leading cause of death of those under 25 and the No. 1 killer of student athletes.

Heart screenings are not a part of annual checkups or pre-participation sports physicals — the reason the foundation screens for free. Eric Paredes was a healthy Steele Canyon High School sophomore athlete who died unexpectedly from sudden cardiac arrest in 2009. His parents, Rhina and Hector Paredes, established the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation to honor their son through their commitment to prevent this tragedy from occurring to other young people. The free screenings identify cardiac anomalies that may lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is not a heart SEE SCREENINGS, A2

Town Hall vacancy

The recent resignation of Ramona Town Hall vice president Robert Krysak has created what president Woody Kirkman calls “one of those rare opportunities” to serve on the board that oversees maintenance, operation and restoration of the historic building. Town Hall trustees are accepting resumes for nominations to fill the vacancy. When Augustus and Martha Barnett donated the adobe building to the people of Ramona — then called Nuevo — on Feb. 22, 1894, they established an unpaid five-member board of trustees “in perpetuity.” Prospective trustees must be Ramona residents, age 18 or older, and recognize that the appointment is for life or until they resign or leave Ramona, noted Kirkman, citing conditions in the original SEE VACANCY, A2

attack. It is an abnormality in the heart’s electrical system that can be detected with a simple EKG (electrocardiogram), but EKGs are not part of a teen’s annual exam or sports physical. Parents may register their children at EPSaveALife.org/register and download a screening packet they complete and bring to the event. Walk-ins are also accepted; paperwork will be available at the school if online registration is not possible. Screenings take less than an hour. Parents need not be present for youth who have a signed and completed screening packet. Students wear a T-shirt, sweat pants or sports shorts to the screening. Girls wear a sports bra. Those being screened are asked to bring a self-addressed stamped envelope in which a copy of the EKG will be mailed back to them to add to their medical records. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to screen their teens.

CAASPP is an assessment for teaching and learning, said Grace. It provides a digital library of resources and tools for teachers to use to help students, and there are assessments through the year to monitor student progress and growth, she said. “So there’s a lot more to this new testing package than there was in the old testing program,” said Grace. “We’re assessing students to improve learning and teaching. That’s the goal now ... What we want to see from year to year with this test is growth.” “We’ve got to figure out a way to fix this, and hopefully the next steps can do it,” said Perfect, referring to the Next Steps slide in Grace’s presentation. “But we drastically need a plan to help our kids.” Grace’s presentation showed a disparity among student subgroups. Those in the white subgroup scored better than students in subgroups labeled limited English proficient (LEP), socio-economically disadvantaged (SED), Hispanic, redesignated to fluent English proficient (RFEP) and special education. Students can only be included in one subgroup. RFEP students were once English learners who have achieved the language and academic skills to move them out of the LEP group, Grace said.

Trustees at a previous meeting discussed the achievement gap, “and this slide clearly shows the achievement gap in Ramona,” Grace said. Students in some of the subgroups are “targeted” for more money under the state’s Local Control Funding Formula budget program. Rajcic cautioned against making assumptions about groups. “There are some of those targeted students that perform way above that, and I think sometimes we should emphasize that rather than paint all targeted students at the lower level,” he said. Grace agreed, adding, “but we’re talking about the average for the subgroups.” Based on CAASPP scores, students are put in two areas — College and Career Ready and Target Improvement — and four levels — Exceeded the Standard, Met the Standard, Neatly Met the Standard and Has Not Met the Standard. Fifty-four percent of Ramona students are designated College and Career Ready in English (20 percent exceeded the standard and 34 percent met the standard) and 46 are Target Improvement (26 percent nearly met the standard and 20 percent did not meet the standard. In math, 39 percent are College and Career Ready (14 percent exceeded the standard and 25 percent met the standard) and 62

percent are targeted for improvement (33 percent nearly met the standard and 29 percent did not meet the standard). Trustee Rodger Dohm, a high school teacher in the Poway district, noted that CAASPP is “assessing things we never assessed before.” Commenting on the previous system, he said the state’s Academic Performance Index goal was 1,000. “I don’t think anybody ever got there, but what we did see is that over time the educational systems got better and better,” he said. This is the same, “except the scores are even lower to start,” Dohm continued, noting that CAASPP tests differently. “We’re not testing kids on solving and getting the right number any more,” he said. “We’re testing kids on can you computationally think and can you basically do logic? Can you figure things out to come out with a probable solution? ... We have test questions that are straightforward, we have test questions all the way to the other end where they’re really testing their computational thinking and logic. That makes it really hard. We have to do a complete shift in the way that we teach.” CAASPP results for each school and district in the state are on the California Department of Education website at caaspp.cde.ca.gov/sb2016/Search.

BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON When an 81-year-old Ramona man wandered from his home Friday morning, sheriff’s deputies found him within 16 minutes of receiving a signal from the tracking device on his wrist. That would not have happened had the man not been enrolled in Project Lifesaver. The last time family members saw the man was at 2 a.m. Friday, said Detective Sgt. Rob Samuels at the Ramona station. When they realized he was not at home about 7:45 a.m., they contacted the sheriff’s department. “Fortunately he was recently enrolled in the Project Lifesaver program and was wearing a special transmitter wristband that would allow him to be located,” said sheriff’s Crime Prevention Specialist Barbara Wallace, who helps coordinate the program. “Deputy J.

Samuels said he was sitting on a bench near Traction Tire, about a half-mile from his home. “His family was happy and

relieved — and appreciative that their family member was enrolled in the program,” said Wallace. The Project Lifesaver program wouldn’t exist in Ramona without the determination of the late Gordon Zick, a pharmacist and longtime Ramona Kiwanis member. “He worked on that for almost five years to get it through all the processes that had to be gone through,” said Donna Zick, Gordon’s wife. “He kept on it like a bulldog, and he finally, finally got it processed. When he felt he had something that would help human life, he worked with it until he had it accomplished.” Project Lifesaver, a partnership between the San Diego County Sheriff’s Ramona station and the Kiwanis Club of Ramona, provides state-of-the-art tracking technology via radio frequency wristbands worn by adults with SEE LIFESAVER, A8

Oldsters who remember A word of warning to the oldster who is filling time in new retirement trying to teach the ravens on a neighbor’s roof to speak and say “nevermore.” (Sept. 1 Sentinel, page 6) Birds that can learn words often pass them along. In today’s world the word “nevermore” has a hopeless, despairing, time-to-give-up ring — not a good notion to spread around. As oldsters we need to remember, if it’s still possible, that youngsters no longer read Poe, even if they need or care to read at all. Then this raven idea gets misunderstood. (The whole delightful story, however, is well worth clipping to save and savor.) As another example, our family recently acquired a beautiful white horse, a little Mustang named Zane. Obviously he was named by an oldster. As the colt’s coat turned from black to grey, on its way to white, it seemed clever to remember the author Zane Grey. This famed writer was noted for stories of the Wild West and its Mustangs, such as “Riders of the Purple Sage.” Our Zane nearly had his name changed because so many people inquired “What’s a Zane?” The many “What’s a Mustang” was bad enough. Perhaps, however, if people aren’t reading things like Poe and Zane, they should be. And it’s up to oldsters like us to provide interesting transitions like these. Edalee Orcutt Harwell Ramona oldster P.S. Clip this article (Dave Patterson’s “Winding Down” column) long, because on the other side (page 5) is equally valuable. By sheriff’s Lt. Jerry Hartman, it commends Ramona for remaining “giving, thoughtful, and appreciative of law enforcement,” his “family” and “world” for 26 years.

OPINION

GUEST COMMENTARY

Are our children safe at school? Editor’s note: Mr. Tavares’ experience occurred last school year. He said he looks forward to positive changes.

BY RICK TAVARES, PH.D. Here’s an interesting question for the parents in Ramona. Are your children safe while they are at school? We would like to believe that once we lose sight of our children behind the schoolyard gate, there are responsible adults looking after them, and that there are procedures in place to safeguard their well-being. If your children go to school in Ramona, you might be surprised to learn the answer to that question is “probably not.” Let’s put aside the obvious issues like Ramona Unified’s pattern of neglect of their campuses, including their failure to correct apparent OSHA violations, and now focus primarily on their supposedly well-trained staff. Let me start by relating an event that happened to me late last year. Only a few minutes after school let out at Olive Peirce Middle School, I got a call from my youngest son, informing me that some kid had pushed him from behind, causing him to hit his head against a wall. I instructed my son to go into the office to seek medical attention, since I was a few minutes away from picking him up after school. When I arrived on campus I saw my son exiting the office building with blood still running down the side of his face. When I asked him if anyone helped him, he told me that the person in the office said she was too busy. Incredulous, and very much curious as to what type of individual would send a 12-year-old boy out of the office with blood running down his face, I escorted my son back into the office and asked for assistance. I quickly discovered an almost vacant school office with only one individual manning a desk in the back. This individual, who was seated at her desk counting a stack of $1 bills, refused to stand up from her seated position, let alone render any assistance to my child. When I asked where the school nurse was, I was told the school nurse was not there. Keep in mind, that this was only 15

minutes after the school bell rang. When I asked this same individual again for assistance to render first aid to my son’s bleeding, and now swollen forehead, this staff member proceeded to continue to count $1 bills, refusing my request, saying she was too busy. I finally had to call 911. Following this incident, I inquired with the school district about the events that took place. I wanted to know how the school district could employ someone who would sit there callously watching a child bleed, and why the school nurse wasn’t present onsite. I also wanted to know if the district employees at OPMS had the requisite first aid and CPR training mandated by state law. The district’s response — a mixture of the third Reich and a Warner Bros. cartoon. Initially the school principal sent me an email stating that I had not caught them at their best, and asked me to call her. Subsequently, I found the principal had made six rapid-fire phone calls within a period of about 10 minutes. Unfortunately, the next day, even before I had been able to contact her by phone, I received notification from the district that the principal had “investigated” the problem and said that she would make sure that all of her staff members were trained in proper health and safety procedures. Upon further inquiry, the district acknowledged that staff at OPMS had not received adequate training in the required health and safety procedures, including first aid or how to handle emergency situations. Nonetheless, they seemed quite unconcerned about having an employee who would watch, with complete indifference, as a kid bled from a head wound. I was told that everything was fine, and I could go away. I have a couple of fundamental problems with the district’s response, the first being their apparently dismissive attitude regarding the callous nature of their employee’s actions. I don’t know about you, but I cannot fathom a situation where ignoring an injured child is considered acceptable behavior — especially at a school. SEE TAVARES, A5

www.ramonasentinel.com FROM LETTERS, A4 Ramona. I was told by one that he would come out to my home the next day and evaluate the situation. The other one said he would call me the same next day. I waited all day and I did not hear from either one. I subsequently called a company down the hill. They came out promptly, and installed a new pump at a very reasonable rate. I own two businesses and come in contact with many clients who ask for referrals and you can be assured that I would not recommend these two Ramona companies. It must be nice to be so successful that you don't have the common courtesy to tell a prospective client that you are too busy for them. A word of advice to these apparent successful companies: We customers you consider "small potatoes" made your company when you got started, so don't get so smug that you ignore us now. You may need us when business isn't so great. Sandy Bruehling Ramona

Ramona man suspected of mail theft A Ramona man recently arrested in San Marcos was found to be in possession of stolen mail from Ramona and other communities, reported authorities. Despite the arrest, U.S. Postal inspectors are continuing their investigation into the slew of mail thefts that have occurred in Ramona since spring. Justin Scribner, 26, of Ramona, was arrested Sept. 15 on suspicion of identity theft, using personal identification information with intent to defraud, vehicle theft and drug-related charges, and had an outstanding warrant, according to the

FROM TAVARES, A4 My second concern is even more egregious, namely, we’ve all been sending our kids to OPMS, unaware that the staff supervising them were not properly trained in safety procedures, or how to handle a medical emergency. Parents certainly can’t rely on there being a school nurse present at OPMS, as according to the district office, the nurse services multiple school campuses. One has to wonder if it’s about time that parents start packing first aid kits in our kids’ backpacks. Not being satisfied with the lackadaisical response from the district office, I made some inquiries with the State Superintendent’s office. Although the State Superintendent of schools has a

sheriff’s website. He was booked Sept. 16 into the Vista Detention Facility and had an arraignment date of Sept. 28. Ricky Vida, public information officer, U.S Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) San Diego office, said inspectors were called in by the San Marcos sheriff’s station after deputies made a traffic stop and found Scribner to be in possession of a lot of mail, including some letters from Ramona. The mail theft investigation is ongoing, he noted. Since spring, there have been many reports of mail theft, especially in San Diego Country Estates, where locked postal boxes

hands-off policy with regards to individual school districts , they were well aware of the past monkeyshines at Ramona Unified, based upon past complaints from other parents. It was suggested by the state that I request a copy of the District Health and Safety Plan to see what their proper protocol should have been. It took me the better part of 2 ½ months to obtain a copy of the District’s Health and Safety Plan. Mr. Newman, the District’s Assistant Superintendent, spun me around on the merry-go-round in an attempt to stall as long as possible. At one point this Looney Tunes comedy got so ridiculous that an administrator actually wrote me a several page letter explaining how the district had been trying unsuccessfully to get the Health and Safety Plan to me. When

containing eight to 16 residential mail slots have been ripped open and heavily damaged. The bulk of the thefts appeared to have occurred in June and July. Mario Trejo, general manager of the Estates homeowners association, said calls of mail theft to his office have declined. This month, he had received two calls about such thefts in contrast to about 20 calls two months ago. Vida said anyone who is a victim of mail theft should call postal inspectors at 877-876-2455. Reports can also be filed online at postalinspectors.uspis.gov.

I pointed out the obvious, that he could’ve just emailed me a PDF of the plan, instead of writing me a lengthy letter about how he was still trying to send me the plan, he was finally out of excuses, and sent it to me a couple of days later. I’ve read and reviewed many health and safety plans throughout my career, but upon reading this venerable document, I could understand why the admininstrator was reluctant to provide it to me. It was for the most part an incoherent and incomplete collection of irrelevant material, carelessly thrown together in a manner illustrative of someone just going through the motions. It’s a health and safety plan in name only, just a crude document generated by the district because the state made them do it, rather than a

plan designed to ensure the safety of our children at school. And that’s just the point, isn’t it? The school district does many things by just going through the motions, with our kids’ safety and well-being as an afterthought. At Ramona Unified, this is a systemic problem, which manifests itself in poor education, fiscal insolvency, substandard programs, unsafe schools, ambivalent teachers (some, not all) and a general callous disregard for any concerns expressed by parents. While I have quietly watched many unsavory activities occurring in the school district, I have to draw the line when kids get hurt and the district couldn’t care less.

Yogurt Barn marks fifth anniversary

Supports community through fundraisers, sponsorships BY KAREN BRAINARD This month marks the fifth anniversary for Yogurt Barn and for each of those five years the shop has won the “Best Dessert” category in Ramona Sentinel’s “Best of Ramona” readers poll. The store with its little red barn and Holstein cow logo, a theme that is carried out through the shop’s decor, participated in Taste of Ramona on Saturday. Ramona resident Lauri Youngblood, who owns Yogurt Barn at 1334 Main St. as well as one in Lakeside with her husband, Jeff, attributes much of their success to reasonable prices, quality product and great employees. “We’re really picky about our yogurt,” said Lauri Youngblood. “I think we pick the best ones.” Each year she attends a yogurt convention where new flavors, toppings and items to sell in the shop are introduced. “It’s fun. You get to go and taste just everything,” she said. Next year’s convention will be held in March at Disneyland.

About six months ago, she introduced gelato truffles — three different kinds of chocolate-covered gelato desserts. “Gelato is a big thing right now,” said Youngblood. The White Chocolate Amore consists of white chocolate gelato with a strawberry sorbet center that is dipped in creamy white chocolate. The Dark Chocolate Amore Heart features chocolate decadence gelato with a raspberry center. The Turtle is butter cream gelato rolled in pecans and dipped in milk chocolate. At the request of customers, she added shakes and smoothies about year ago to her offerings. Both are made with frozen yogurt and the smoothies are blended with fresh fruit. “So it’s healthy and it’s good,” said Youngblood. While she switches out yogurt flavors and toppings, Youngblood said they always have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and peanut butter, as well as a non-dairy and a sugar-free selection. Popular flavors are coconut, cake batter and tart lemon. Flavors of the day are posted on Yogurt

Yogurt Barn owner Lauri Youngblood welcomes customers Nicholas and J. J. Brown, who enjoy their frozen yogurt sundaes. Barn’s Facebook page. Seasonal flavors recently featured were pumpkin and apple pie a la mode. Yogurt Barn is a community-oriented business and holds fundraisers for schools, sports, teams, 4-H clubs and running clubs, to name a few, and sponsors a baseball and a softball team each year. “We want to sponsor teams, support youth,” said Youngblood. Yogurt Barn recently hosted a one-day fundraiser for Ramona Community Campus PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) with 25 percent of sales that day going towards the organization when customers presented the

fundraiser flier. About $147 was raised from the sales, she said, and an upcoming fundraiser is scheduled for Ramona Elementary School. Most of her employees are either high school or college students. “We’re really flexible and work around people’s schedules,” noted Youngblood. She employs about seven at the Ramona store, and a total of 13 between both stores. In some cases, the employees are brothers or sisters of former employees. “They’re really great kids,” she said. “It’s a great first job.”

your way,” he said. Describing Castaneda’s teenage years as a whirlwind of uncertainty, he said, “What house or hotel are we living in this week? Basic needs of food, shelter, clothes are a constant worry. The last thing on her mind would be, ‘Hey, can I have some quiet time to do my homework?” Castaneda’s mother is incarcerated and she has no contact with her father, Lohman continued. Her younger brother attends school in Ramona and she has little contact with her older sister. Living with her grandparents has brought stability and a sense of calm to her life, and she also “has found a family and a home at Montecito High School,” said Lohman. “In spite of her being placed at risk at an early age, Gabby has come to school ready to learn every day,” continued Lohman. “She is active in three clubs at Montecito — Yearbook, Star and Yellow Ribbon.” Turning to Castaneda, he said, “and what an impact you have made in your leadership on the culture of our school.” Turning back to trustees, he said, “In addition to being in those three clubs, Gabby has maintained an extraordinary grade point average of 3.8. Her big smile is infectious and contagious. And as you can see, Gabby represents what it means to be the most inspirational student at Montecito High School. And, Gabby, what a great day to be a Toro.” Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., and school board president Kim Lasley presented Castaneda with a plaque with Larson’s quote inscribed. A student will be recognized as the

inspirational student of the month during each school board meeting this year, said Staffieri, who introduced the district’s new tradition. Later in the meeting, Montecito High senior Jaelyn Quezada, Montecito’s student representative on the school board, said Castaneda baked most of the cupcakes at the bake sale classmates held during the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Walk at Ramona High on Sept. 16. Among other items in her report to trustees, Quezada discussed a schedule change at the school that moved Toto Time, an opportunity for students to work on their studies and seek help from teachers, to the end rather than the middle of the school day. This allows students with C or better in their classes to leave campus at 12:20 p.m. rather than 12:48 p.m. “It rewards those who have the grades and also motivates those who don’t have as good grades,” she said. In other activities, Montecito students held a kickoff barbecue, participated in the suicide prevention walk, started the Senior Readiness Program with various speakers coming to the school every other Wednesday, and have an after-school program that offers art, yearbook, physical education, construction, leadership and recycling, Quezada said. Leadership students plan to be at Ramona Elementary’s Monster Mash next month and will be part of the heart screening at Ramona High on Oct. 2. “Also, the attitude of all the students has changed,” she said. “There’s so much more participation and school spirit, which is incredible.”

FROM LIFESAVER, A3 Alzheimer’s, dementia or other conditions that may cause them to wander. Children with autism or Down syndrome also benefit from the program that began in Ramona in 2006. Supported by substantial donations from Ramona Kiwanis, Project Lifesaver helps law enforcement and families locate persons who wander and aren’t able to speak for themselves, said Wallace. The sheriff’s Senior Volunteer Patrol in Ramona manages the program by visiting each client monthly to ensure their wristband is functioning properly. Kiwanian Charles Teichert Jr. two years ago spearheaded a campaign to give Project Lifesaver a financial boost to pay for upgraded equipment. His efforts led to donations of $2,550 from the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet, $1,470 from Attorney Robert Krysak, $500 from the Zick Family Trust, $500 from Paul Tarr and Family, and $100 from Teichert and his wife Sandy and Kiwanis members John Whiteman, Richard Wade, Mary Halliday and Darrell Beck. Also, San Diego County supervisors approved $4,000 in a Neighborhood Reinvestment Program grant. Ramona residents interested in enrolling a family member in the program may contact Wallace at 760-738-2425.

Attendance doubles for second Taste of Ramona

he second annual Taste of Ramona, held Sept. 24, doubled attendance over last year’s inaugural event. Hosted by the Ramona Chamber of Commerce, this year’s Taste of Ramona featured 19 restaurants and businesses offering samples of their specialties with some tastings practically serving as a meal, said chamber past president Charlotte Jensen, event chair. “The restaurants just outshone each other,” she said. At least 200 tickets were sold and at times there were lines outside participating restaurants, said Jensen. Up and down Main Street many walked from one eatery to another while a shuttle service provided by the chamber made at least 65 runs, shuttling people to several different stops for tastings. Entertainment was provided at various locations by musicians, including Ramona High School band members and acoustic guitarists. “It was really a fun event and very exciting,” said Jensen. “The chamber support was absolutely wonderful.”

Prep Girls Volleyball

Spikers enter league play with 18-3 record Reach semifinals of Beach Cities tourney BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's girls volleyball team reached the championship bracket semifinals of the Sept. 23-24 Beach Cities Invitational. Five tournament wins before the semifinal loss, along with a Sept. 20 home defeat against Torrey Pines, gave Ramona an 18-3 season record entering Valley League play, which includes the contest at Valley Center on Sept. 29. "We're halfway through the season and really pleased with where we are. The team is playing in a well-rounded way," said coach Connie Halfaker. Torrey Pines won the CIF Open Division championship last year. "They're a very talented experienced program. I was just happy with the way we played. There were a lot of rallies," Halfaker said. The Falcons swept the Bulldogs, but by 25-15, 25-21 and 25-21 scores. Amanda Donais and Natalie Seol led Ramona with seven kills apiece. McKenna Marshall had six kills and three serving aces. Katie Flinn recorded 12 digs. Sammy Shupe had 20 assists. Donais recorded three blocks and Grace Seits had two blocks. Illness and injuries deprived Ramona S T A T E

O F

of Seol, Karina Martinez and Sierra Adkins for the tournament, so Halfaker brought up sophomore middle blocker Caitlin Harris from the junior varsity squad. "She did a good job," Halfaker said of Harris. Harris had 12 blocks during the tournament's six matches, sharing the team lead with Donais and Seits. "That's pretty good," Halfaker said. Marshall and Donais each had 44 kills. "That's a really balanced attack, right side and outside, with Sammy just dishing the ball around, keeping everything balanced," Halfaker said. In addition to her setter activity, Shupe served for 16 aces and 94 percent of her serves were in bounds. "That's just very strong, consistent serving," Halfaker said. Flinn's 60 digs led the team which had a total of 204 for the tournament. Pool play matches comprised the Sept. 23 portion of the Beach Cities Invitational. Ramona spent the first day at the Coast Volleyball Club and took first place in the pool with a 25-13, 25-16 victory against Rio Mesa of Oxnard, a 25-14, 25-12 triumph against Sylmar, and a 25-16, 25-17 win at the expense of Rancho Buena Vista. "The T H E

A R T

girls were just very determined, very businesslike," Halfaker said. Ramona's Sept. 24 matches took place at La Jolla High School. The first of those was a seeding match against Pt. Loma. The Pointers captured a 25-17 victory in game one. "We got off to a little bit of a slow start," Halfaker said. "The second set went back and forth." A 24-22 lead in the second set gave the Pointers match point, but Ramona scored the next two points to tie the game and then scored two more points for a 26-24 victory. "We were really on a roll," Halfaker said. Ramona won the third game by a 15-4 score. The quarterfinal match against Otay Ranch ended as a 25-14, 25-11 Ramona win. Bishop's advanced to the finals by defeating Ramona in a 25-22, 25-19 semifinal. "It was a pretty close match," Halfaker said. "We were just kind of out of gas," Halfaker said. "We were a little bit off." The tournament did not have a third-place match. "Really, really proud of the way the girls worked together," Halfaker said. Shupe was selected to the all-tournament team. "That's pretty nice," Halfaker said.

Prep Boys Water Polo

Dawgs recover from loss to RB with win over El Camino BY JOE NAIMAN The boys water polo game at Rancho Bernardo High School Sept. 21 was a 17-13 RB victory over Ramona. Coach Donnie Williams attributed the loss to allowing opposing players to become open when they can shoot from a good angle. “We’ve got to make sure we defend the middle first,” Williams said. That was the focus of Ramona’s Sept. 22 practice and resulted in Ramona defeating El Camino, 8-2, in Ramona’s pool on Sept. 23. “Our guys did a good job. We did what we focused on,” Williams said. The Bulldogs, who will return to a Poway Unified School District pool Thursday afternoon for a game at Mt. Carmel, outscored Rancho Bernardo during the final three periods but were unable to overcome a 7-1 Broncos lead at the end of the first quarter. “We started off really slow,” Williams said. “That first quarter really killed us.” Ian Cirillo, who scored Ramona’s first-period goal, scored twice within the first 90 seconds of the second period and a Matt Wallace goal later in the quarter narrowed the deficit to 7-4 before a Rancho Bernardo goal late in the quarter resulted in an 8-4 halftime score. Although the Broncos scored the first goal of the third period, two Ramona scores narrowed the margin to 9-6 before Rancho Bernardo had four of the remaining five goals that period for a 13-7 lead entering the fourth quarter. “It’s not like we played terrible,” Williams said. Cirillo and Cooper Smith scored the first two goals of the SEE WATER POLO, A14

Prep Cross Country

Gibson wins Dana Hills race BY JOE NAIMAN A win in the Division 2 senior girls race at the Dana Hills Nike Invitational meet on Saturday gave Ramona High senior Gwendalyn Gibson four wins in the team’s four meets this year — but it was the closest race for her this year. Gibson had a time of 17:31 on the 3.0-mile course. Emma Wahlenmaier of Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas finished second at 17:34. "I was impressed with how competitive she was at the end," said head coach Sherri Edwards. Ironically Gibson and Wahlenmaier were both in Las Vegas during the weekdays prior to the Dana Hills race. Gibson was nominated for the Next Generation Rider of the Year for mountain biking. Although she did not receive that award, the banquet was part of the weeklong Interbike convention she attended in Las Vegas. Tougher competition rather than a lack of organized practice with the Ramona team led to Gibson having a closer race than she has in the other meets this year. Wahlenmaier was in a pack of three girls trailing Gibson before breaking away from that pack and catching up to Gibson. The Dana Hills Nike Invitational course ends on the track at Dana Hills High School. "When she got to the track she was a little bit ahead," Edwards said of Gibson. Wahlenmaier was able to position herself alongside Gibson. "They were just stride for stride until they got to the 200 mark," Edwards said. Gibson moved ahead when they were 200 meters away from the finish line. "She really had to give it her all," Edwards said. Edwards was happy for the tougher competition, which will likely help Gibson during the CIF San Diego Section meet in November. La Costa Canyon was in the invitational race at the Dana Hills meet, but the Mavericks and Ramona are both in Division III for CIF meet purposes. La Costa Canyon junior McKenna Brown and Mavericks sophomore Kristin Fahy were able to run off each other in the all-grade invitational race; Brown won in 17:02 and Fahy was second at 17:03. Edwards and Gibson have declared being competitive with Brown and Fahy to be a CIF meet objective. "It was a good step towards that goal," Edwards said of

Gibson's race at Dana Hills. Gibson had a time of 19:08 in the junior race during the 2015 Dana Hills meet. Medals are given to the top 50 finishers in each race at Dana Hills, and Ramona's other medalist in the senior girls race also improved her time from last year by more than a minute. Marissa Talle, who had completed the course in 20:21 in 2015, had the 11th place time of 19:11 this year. Ramona's other senior girl this year, Christina Brown, is a first-year cross-country runner. Brown took 67th place among the 119 girls with a time of 22:41. Five runners from a school in a race are needed for a team score. Ramona had seven freshman girls at the Dana Hills meet and placed ninth among the 18 Division II full teams. Amy Brown led the Bulldogs with a fifth-place finish and a time of 19:24. Michaela Meskell took home a medal for her 44th-place time of 21:33. Alyssa Davis was 66th at 22:29. Corrine Ward earned 96th place for her 23:22 performance. Kensey Sapper finished 109th among the 195 runners with a time of 23:59. The only other race in which Ramona had a team score was the sophomore boys race. The Bulldogs placed 14th among the 23 schools with at least five runners. The five Ramona runners were led by Jack Clough, whose time of 16:32 gave him 15th place. A time of 17:48 provided Mitchell Sutter with the 51st finishing position. Billy Miller completed the course in 17:58 for 59th place. Kyle Beals became the 209th finisher 21:05 after the race began. Seth Conley finished 229th and had a time of 22:30. Clough was Ramona's only boy medalist. Ramona had one boy apiece in the other grade-level races. Colton Meskell finished 93rd in the senior race with a time of 18:09, Davis Marousch ran the freshman race in 21:13 for 159th place, and the cross-country debut of Daniel Chavez resulted in a time of 21:09 and 175th place in the junior race. Five of Ramona's girls received medals. Madison Huckey had a time of 21:14 in the junior race for 49th place. Sarah Guthrie completed the junior race in 21:58 and was the 67th finisher. The Bulldogs had four junior girls and one sophomore girl; Carmen Ocampo was 108th among sophomores with a time of 23:30. This year's first Valley League cluster meet will take place Friday afternoon on the Guajome Park course.

Prep Girls Tennis

Ramona High splits first two league matches BY JOE NAIMAN Valley League play for Ramona High School's girls tennis team was scheduled to begin Sept. 20, but rain postponed the league opener at San Pasqual to Sept. 21. A 14-4 loss to San Pasqual and a 12-6 home victory Sept. 22 against Valley Center gave Ramona a 1-1 league record along with a 5-4 overall mark. The most recent North County Conference realignment moved Oceanside and Orange Glen out of the Valley League and added Escondido and San Pasqual. This year San Pasqual has 16 players on its varsity and 40 on the Golden Eagles' junior varsity squad. "It will take us a while to get there," Ramona coach Troy Romero said of San Pasqual's program. San Pasqual won seven of the nine singles sets and seven of the nine doubles sets. "They played a great match," Romero said. Only two of those singles sets and one of the doubles sets were by 6-0 margins. "We were winning games," Romero said. Ramona lost two 6-1 sets, four 6-2 sets, four 6-3 sets and one 6-4 set. Each of the eight

Ramona singles players or doubles teams who played all three sets won at least six games. The Bulldogs will host San Pasqual in an Oct. 6 match. Ramona led Valley Center by a 6-0 margin after the completion of the first three singles sets and the first three doubles sets. The Bulldogs had a 10-2 lead after the second round of sets. "We just came back strong," Romero said. "It was a great match." Since the Bulldogs had clinched the match, Romero used his two available substitutes (Jessica Nelson was ill and did not play) during the third round. Mylani Garduno, who gave No. 1 singles player Renee Hogervorst a rest, took a 6-3 victory over Valley Center's No. 3 singles player. "Everybody beat their seed or lesser," Romero said. Chelsea Boss, who was Ramona's No. 3 singles player, had split her first two sets. Hailey Henshaw played Valley Center's No. 1 player in the third round; the 6-1 loss meant that she won a game against Valley Center senior Brooke Clark, who was seeded fourth in the 2015 Valley League singles

tournament and is the only player among last year's top four seeds still in the Valley League. "I was thrilled for her," Romero said. If a set is tied at six games apiece, a tiebreaking game to 7 points is played. That game must be decided by at least 2 points. Hogervorst and Clark split their first 12 games and then split the first 14 points of the tiebreaker. Hogervorst then won the next two points for a 9-7 win in the tiebreaking game and a 7-6 victory in the set. Hogervorst prevailed by a 6-3 score against Valley Center's #2 player, sophomore Madison Clark. Antonia Radeke lost a 6-2 set to Brooke Clark but won 6-4 and 6-1 sets against her other two opponents. Jamie Roe and Kaley Sapper swept their counterparts with 6-3, 6-1 and 6-2 victories. Hannah Nowakowski and Halli Romero lost a 6-0 set to Valley Center's No. 1 doubles tandem of seniors Mandi Malich and Sierra Sisler, but obtained 6-1 and 6-2 triumphs. Sarah Drown and Ashley Cortez beat their counterparts by a 6-1 margin before losing a pair of 4-6 sets.

Registration starts for junior pheasant hunt Because the annual San Diego Jr. Pheasant Hunt is a first-come, first-served event, Ramona resident Virginia “Vikee” Duncan wants to give Ramona area residents early notice of the event. The 15th Annual San Diego Jr. Pheasant Hunt will be on Sunday, Feb. 12, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is open to the first 60 registered youngsters ages 10 to 18 and is designed for first-time participants in that age group. Participants must have a valid California hunting license and must be able to handle a 20-gauge shotgun.

The free event includes a dog retrieving seminar, turkey hunting seminar, trap shotgun range, archery, demonstrations by trappers, field hunting, bird cleaning and lunch. For youngsters to get the most out of the event, organizers say it is beneficial for them to take a Junior Trap course at Escondido Fish and Game Association or the Lemon Grove Rod and Gun Club. Registration is required by Jan. 29. To register for the event and for more information, contact Duncan at sdjph@yahoo.com or 760-654-3183.

FROM WATER POLO, A12 Sept. 23 game for a 2-0 Ramona lead. “We came out strong,” Williams said. The final first-quarter goal was scored by El Camino. Ramona’s Trevor White had the only successful shot in the second quarter to create a 3-1 halftime lead. Smith, Wallace, and Cirillo scored a goal apiece in the third quarter while goalkeeper Tanner Michaelis and the rest of the Bulldog defense held the Wildcats scoreless that period. Michaelis made five saves in three periods before he was rested. Josh

Ferry was Ramona’s goalkeeper for the fourth quarter and made two saves. The seven saves and the two El Camino goals equate to nine Wildcats shots on goal during the 28 minutes of play. “We’re not just giving up a lot of free shots,” Williams said. The El Camino goal created a 6-2 score before goals by White and Thomas Schabbehar closed out the scoring. “We’re improving, and that’s what I told the guys we have to do,” Williams said.

Medicare news BY CATE KORTZEBORN

Choosing healthcare for the end of your life

y mom, 88 stubborn years old, still lives on her own in a big house with a cat that loves to get underfoot. Because I work in healthcare, I have an all-too-vivid recognition of the perils that can befall someone in her situation. So, posted on her kitchen bulletin board is a bright pink sheet of paper called a POLST. POLST stands for Physician Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment. It’s a document that makes your treatment wishes known to doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians and other healthcare providers. Too often, people near the end of their lives get treatment they don’t want. These treatments may not help them live longer or better, and sometimes can cause pain. Also, family members sometimes have their own ideas about what types of treatment their loved ones would want. POLST makes sure your family members and caregivers know exactly what life-saving treatments you do and do not want. Doctors say any seriously-ill person should have a POLST. Filling out a POLST is completely up to you. It's your choice. POLST is different from an advance healthcare directive. An advance directive allows you to choose the advocate you want to speak for you if you’re incapacitated, and provides a general guide to what treatment you want. POLST is different because: • POLST is a signed medical order that your healthcare team can act upon, whether your advocate is there or not; • POLST indicates your exact wishes about certain medical treatments. Although it’s a good idea for all seriously-ill people to have both an advance directive and a POLST, any adult, especially if she or he is unmarried, should have one or both. You can find the POLST form online or at your primary care provider’s office. Your provider can explain the different options on the form to you. The POLST must be signed by a licensed healthcare provider and by you. Some states require a witnessing signature as well. Once signed, the POLST becomes part of your medical record. It stays with you all the time. If you’re at home, put it near your bed or on your refrigerator. If you’re in a hospital, nursing home or assisted living facility, it’ll be in your chart or file. If you’re moved between

locations, your POLST goes with you. POLST forms vary by state and focus on three types of interventions. For each, you can chose whether or not to have something done or choose a level of intervention. • Resuscitation (person has no pulse and is not breathing): Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is done to try to start your breathing and heartbeat after they stop. CPR involves chest compressions and/or electrical shock to try to start your heart again. It may also involve having someone breathe for you. Resuscitation can benefit healthy young people, but it’s not usually helpful for seriously-ill or elderly people. You can chose to accept or decline resuscitation. • Medical intervention (person has pulse and/or is breathing): Interventions can include CPR, intubation (a tube down your throat to open your airway), mechanical ventilation (a machine to pump air in and out of your lungs), medication/antibiotics, fluids, monitoring and a host of other things. You can choose a level of intervention, from full treatment to comfort measures only. • Artificially administered fluids and nutrition: This is a way of feeding a person through a tube either in his/her nose or through the skin into his/her stomach. Tube feeding can help people who can’t swallow now, but who are expected to get better. However, people near the end of life may feel more comfortable without a feeding tube and want to eat what they can by mouth. You can choose a level of intervention, from long-term nutrition to a defined period of nutrition to hydration only to no intervention. It’s important to fully understand these and other options, so make sure you talk to your doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant before you make any decisions. You can then choose what treatment options you want and don’t want. You can also adjust your POLST at any time, as circumstances change. To find the POLST website in your state, where you can get more information and download forms, go to www.polst.org. More information on advance directives can be found at: medlineplus.gov/advancedirectives.html.

SDG&E to begin forest power line Cleveland National Forest recently finalized a 50-year special use permit authorizing San Diego Gas & Electric to begin construction on 102 miles of power lines on national forest land. The approved easement allows SDG&E to conduct wood-to-steel pole replacement, relocation and undergrounding of power lines under a 50-year agreement. The project is predicted to have a profound impact on overall environmental health, reducing potential fire hazards, enhancing wildlife habitat and water quality, and improving the aesthetics of the Mt. Laguna Recreation Area, noted Olivia

Walker with the forest service. On March 11, Forest Supervisor William Metz signed a Final Record of Decision, which concluded the planning process that began on Sept. 23, 2013. "This project provides the greatest benefits to the public while having the least overall impact to the environment," said Metz, "The decision was based on a need to mitigate the risk of wildfires often associated with power lines and strong wind events, while improving the health and resiliency of our local watersheds and natural resources."

Trails group plans Equestrian Play Day Ramona Trails Association will host an Equestrian Play Day for riders of all ages and levels on Saturday, Oct. 8, at Holly Oaks County Park at the corner of Dye and Southern Oak roads. Open to the public, the Equestrian Play Day will start with registration at 8:30 a.m. The first event will be at 10 a.m. Unlike most competitions, Equestrian Play Day is a way to challenge both horse and rider through fun and unusual events, said John Degenfelder, RTA founder. Ribbons will go to the top six riders in each event. Event Schedule: • Simon Says (Costume Optional) — Put on your favorite costume, jump on your horse and get ready to do what Simon says. Walk or trot only. • Child-Adult Lead Line Obstacle Course — Children 8 and younger compete in the obstacle course from the saddle while Mom, Dad or a helper holds the horse’s lead line. • Mounted Obstacle Course — This is a creative, fun obstacle course for horse and rider. Speed and accuracy are the key. • Champagne/Water/Wine Trot — A smooth trot and a steady hand will leave you

with enough in your glass to cool down afterward. • Pole Bending — Weave your way through a line of poles. • Bareback Dollar Ride — Can you hold a dollar under your leg while you ride bareback? • Sugar Cube — A fast-paced run to a water bucket, a dismount, sugar cube bob, remount and run home. Helmets are required for riders under age 18 and recommended for all. Spectators should bring lawn chairs as there is no spectator seating at Holly Oaks. Entry fee is $5 per class or $25 for all day. The all-day entry fee includes a 2017 Ramona Trails Association membership. Lunch will be available for purchase. The Drill Divas will provide the lunchtime entertainment. An opportunity drawing will also be held. RTA is looking for volunteers to help with activities including set-up, timing, judging and individual event assistance. “You don’t need to own a horse to volunteer or to come out and watch,” says RTA. For more information or to contact RTA, visit RamonaTrails.org.

Insurance news Great news: Thousands of rural property owners may see lower insurance bills thanks to San Diego County upgrades in fire protection and preparedness. A national organization that works with the insurance industry recently issued significantly improved fire protection ratings for much of the local backcountry, citing the county’s aggressive efforts to beef up services. Insurance companies use the ratings, known as ISO classifications, to help determine premiums. This is great news for property owners and their pocketbooks, and a strong vote of confidence in our long-running efforts to better protect people and property. Property owners are encouraged to contact their insurance company after the start of the new year to find out how the new classification may affect their policy. Since the Cedar Fire in 2003, the county has invested more than $350 million on

fire and emergency preparedness, including more ground and aerial assets and better equipment and firefighter training. CSI San Diego: Construction will start in Kearny Mesa this fall on a new Sheriff’s Department crime lab. The 150,000-square-foot facility will house crime scene evidence and forensic science equipment critical to cracking cases. The lab, currently located in Clairemont, provides investigative services to more than 30 law enforcement agencies, along with sheriff’s deputies serving our unincorporated areas. For more District 2 news, go to www.diannejacob.com or follow me on Facebook and Twitter.

IRS warns of fake tax bill emails The Internal Revenue Service and its Security Summit partners alert taxpayers and tax professionals to be on guard against fake emails purporting to contain an IRS tax bill related to the Affordable Care Act. The IRS has received numerous reports of scammers sending a fraudulent version of CP2000 notices for tax year 2015. Generally, the scam involves an email that includes the fake CP2000 as an attachment. The CP2000 is a notice mailed to taxpayers through the U.S. Postal Service. It is never sent as part of an email to taxpayers. The indicators are: • These notices are being sent electronically, even though the IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email or through social media platforms; • The CP2000 notices appear to be issued from an Austin, Texas, address; • The underreported issue is related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requesting information regarding 2014 coverage; • The payment voucher lists the letter number as 105C. The fraudulent CP2000 notice includes a payment request that taxpayers mail a check made out to “I.R.S.” to the “Austin Processing

Center” at a post office box address. This is in addition to a “payment” link within the email itself. IRS impersonation scams take many forms: threatening telephone calls, phishing emails and demanding letters. Learn more at Reporting Phishing and Online Scams. Taxpayers or tax professionals who receive this scam email should forward it to phishing@irs.gov and then delete it from their email account. Taxpayers and tax professionals generally can do a keyword search on IRS.gov for any notice they receive. Taxpayers who receive a notice or letter can view explanations and images of common correspondence on IRS.gov at Understanding Your IRS Notice or Letter. To determine if a CP2000 notice you received in the mail is real, see the Understanding Your CP2000 Notice, which includes an image of a real notice. A CP2000 is generated by the IRS Automated Underreporter Program when income reported from third-party sources such as an employer does not match the income reported on the tax return. It provides instructions to taxpayers about what to do if they agree or disagree that additional tax is owed.
