Student store hits milestone BY KAREN BRAINARD The Bulldog Student Store served its 10,000th customer on Oct. 11, a milestone celebrated by the students who proudly operate the store at Ramona High School as part of their class. The 18- to 22-year-old students are in teacher Lee Wilkerson’s adult transition class. “They work on learning life skills and job skills,” Wilkerson said about the special education program. The class has been running the store for two years and eight months. “We track inventory. We count money,” noted student SEE STORE, A22

BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Village Design Group was expecting to vote within the next two weeks on updates to the Ramona Village Center Form-Based Code, but Jim Hagey, who wanted his Elliott Pond property included within the form-based code boundaries, told the Sentinel he is asking that a decision on his request be postponed. A meeting for the village design group is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 25 in the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. On the following night, Ramona Design Review Board will meet at 7 in the community center, and is also scheduled to address code changes. Rob Lewallen, chair of both groups, will not be able to attend on those dates, but suggested a joint meeting with the Ramona Community Planning Group when it meets at 7 p.m. Nov. 2

in the Ramona Library Community Room, 1275 Main St. All meetings are open to the public. Of the updates under consideration, the most controversial is including Hagey’s 20 acres bordered by Ramona, H, and 16th streets into the form-based code boundaries so that the residentially-zoned land would have mixed use zoning. Hagey told the Sentinel on Monday that he wants a vote on his request postponed for a month so he can “consider modifications.” Commonly called the “Hagey property,” the land is now being referred to as the “Elliott Pond property,” said Scotty Ensign, vice chair of the Ramona Design Review Board, which discussed this issue at its Sept. 28 meeting. Hagey would like to build a SEE VILLAGE, A22

BY ROB NIKOLEWSKI The fate of a controversial request from San Diego Gas & Electric to recover $379 million in costs related to the 2007 wildfires that killed two and destroyed more than 1,300 homes in San Diego County has been pushed back for a second time. A spokeswoman for the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) said the vote by the five members of the commission is now slated for Oct. 26 at CPUC headquarters in San Francisco.

Fire engines, task force positioned and ready Small fires keep firefighters busy BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON The temperature on Monday reached a high of 99 degrees, breaking the record of 96 set 20 years ago, reported the National Weather Service. The humidity was 7 percent. The only thing missing were the Santa Ana winds that whipped the 2003 Cedar and 2007 Witch wildfires that are still fresh in the minds of residents who experienced those October blazes. The fires in Northern California are rekindling memories of the Cedar fire that started on Oct. 25, 2003, and the Witch fire that started Oct. 21, 2007. The Cedar fire, ignited by a lost hunter’s signal fire, torched 273,246 acres, destroyed 2,820 structures and caused 15 deaths, and the Witch fire, triggered by downed powerlines, burned 197,990 acres, destroyed 1,650 structures and caused two deaths, according to Cal Fire. Forecasters on Monday predicted hot weather would continue Tuesday, then cool through the rest of the work week, but soar again this weekend and early next week. One strike team of engines and a task force of engines, dozers and water dozers were pre-positioned in Ramona, Cal Fire Captain Robert Ramirez with the Ramona Fire Department said in a text on Monday. “People may be noticing an extra S T A T E

afternoon, and one Monday morning in Ramona. All are extinguished. The Ranchita fire, accidentally ignited by target shooters on private property near Wilson and Montezuma Valley roads, was 100 percent contained by Monday afternoon, Cal Fire reported.

flames in hot and dry conditions and halted the fire’s spread in about three hours, said Kendal Bortisser with Cal Fire. The fire posed no threat to structures and caused no reported injuries. Crews continued dousing hot spots Monday, said Bortisser. The adults who started the blaze called 911, remained on the scene and cooperated with authorities, he said. Investigators will determine whether to seek criminal or civil sanctions against them. The Cuyamaca Rancho State Park blaze, reported about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, was 100 percent contained at eight acres as of about 5 p.m. Sunday, reported Cal Fire San Diego. The fire was near the Green Valley Campground off state Route 79. No structures were threatened and no injuries reported. A Cal Fire engine with the Ramona Fire Department assisted Barona Fire Department with the quarter-acre grass fire reported just before 2 p.m. Sunday. No damage or injuries were reported, said Ramirez, adding that golfers tried to but couldn’t extinguish the fire, so they called 911. A mylar balloon on a power line caused a half-acre brush fire in the 1400 block of Kings Villa Road about 10:15 a.m. Monday, Bortisser said Tuesday after SDG&E and Cal Fire officials investigated the incident. City News Service contributed to this report.

Here’s what Deb’s clients are saying... After having bought and sold several properties in the past few years I have to say that it has been a very refreshing and positive experience dealing with Deb Espinoza and her associates. Deb not only guided us through the items requiring repair and refurbishment on our house before it was put on the market, but she took a personal interest in our satisfaction with the process. Debs impressive presentation of the house led to a full price offer only five days after the house was listed. the buyer asked for a 30 day escrow which we were able to achieve with Debs help. She has our complete trust and confidence. Thanks for all your help Deb!

OPINION

www.ramonasentinel.com

OUR READERS WRITE Some questions to ponder about guns Some statements in the Oct. 12 Sentinel need to be re-addressed. The National Rifle Association spent $3.2 million (not $817,000) on lobbying in the first six months of this year. That is easily verified online. It was stated that the NRA magazine publishes “numerous” articles about private citizens protecting themselves with guns. I’ll bet it does. Did it also publish the story about the 4-year-old who accidentally shot his grandfather to death in North Carolina last week? Has it also reported on the 37 law officers who have been killed by gunfire in the U.S. so far this year? No? There are some things the NRA would prefer its members didn’t know about. Another commentary in the Sentinel claims gun restrictions will not prevent 20,000 people (his figure) from committing suicide by gun each year. Nonsense. If a distraught person is having a bad day, a gun is the best choice. Poison, hanging or jumping off a bridge takes preparation, planning and time. Plus, those are painful ways to die. If that person has a gun in the household he/she can end the bad day spur of the moment and without any pain. The year after Australia bought back hundreds of thousands of guns, the suicide rate in that country dropped to less than half the year before. No, we’ll probably never completely stamp out gun deaths, but we sure could reduce the number. The questions each of us has to answer is: How many people need to die before I will give up my guns? Would I do it to save one life? Five lives? Ten? If restrictions would have kept at least some of those guns out of the hands of the Las Vegas shooter, would I vote for those restrictions? Those aren’t tough questions. Jack J. Reber Ramona

Post office landscaping needs upkeep I enjoyed the recent Sentinel article showing the Kirkman family and others cleaning up the messy landscaping around the CVS store. The Kirkman family has always provided thoughtful community service to Ramona. The article reminded me of the terrible upkeep of the grounds around our Ramona Post Office! When my wife and I moved to Ramona 15 years ago, the post office had some beautiful rose gardens at both ends of the building and the remainder of the property was properly trimmed and cared for. Today, it gives off a very poor appearance to our residents and visitors as the grass areas, plantings and trimmed shrubs are all a thing of the past. The post office buildings in our surrounding communities all appear to be well maintained and surrounded by quality landscaping. I would suggest that the postmaster, whose car is probably parked in the rear lot, some day walk around the front of the building and survey the facility. I'm quite sure that the building and grounds are leased from a private owner, but surely there must be some conditions in the lease that provide for proper upkeep and appearance! Someone is dropping the ball and not doing their job! Charles Teichert Jr. Ramona SEE LETTERS, A6

POINT/COUNTERPOINT: GUN CONTROL

Gun control Gun control isn’t about guns debate poses one question It’s about control BY DARRELL BECK ollowing the terrible mass murder in Las Vegas, anti-gun activists immediately called for more “common sense” gun control and then accused the National Rifle Association (NRA) and its members of being guilty for gun violence in America. Nancy Sinatra, eldest daughter of crooner Frank Sinatra, tweeted that those “murderous” members of the NRA should be “executed by a firing squad.” Adding to that expression of progressive good will, many of the usual celebrities, politicians, anti-gun activists and media chimed in by blaming supporters of the NRA, calling them “terrorists and fanatics” as if to imply the NRA pulled the trigger and more gun control laws would solve the problem. Perhaps “progressives” should come to their senses and realize we need crime control, not gun control; because disarming law-abiding citizens will only make citizens defenseless against armed criminals. Out of approximately five million NRA members, not one of them, as far as I know, had anything to do with this mass murder, or any other mass murder or illegal use of firearms; yet within the progressive psyche it’s never the shooter they blame for the crime. They immediately stoop to blame their favorite scapegoats by faulting guns, the NRA and its members. Emotion and feelings are the driving force motivating people like Sinatra who seem to ignore the fact that there’s always a small percentage of people capable of mass murder by any means against innocent bystanders. They ignore the fact that criminals don’t obey laws. This flaw in criminals could be due to drugs, depression, insanity, hate, graphic video images, revenge, suicidal tendencies or the de-Christianization of America, among SEE BECK, A5

BY SUSAN LEUKHARDT n order to help the suicidal, each of us can show kindness and caring toward our fellow man, support the family unit, learn about suicide prevention, utilize programs that help us all have better mental health and provide help for the mentally ill. This is what may help lower suicide rates and murders. Yet there are those who no matter what you do, are going to kill themselves or others. If you eliminated every gun in America you would still have suicides. We would need to ban bridges; like the Coronado Bridge which my best friend's sister jumped from and killed herself. We would need to ban knives and razor blades and other sharp instruments that people cut their wrists with. We would have to round up all the ropes and belts so that people couldn't kill themselves by hanging and strangulation. Strict control of drugs is not enough. Let's ban them. You would need to ban all automobiles because people commit suicide by car as well as suicide by train, so while we're at it let's ban trains. And grape Kool-Aid. And airplanes. And double-double burgers. Maybe we'll just have to ban everything because people who are determined to commit suicide will use any means to destroy themselves. And those who would murder will still find a way to kill another human being. On 9/11, terrorists’ use of aircraft killed 2,996 innocent people and wounded more than 6,000 others. The potential to commit mass murder is not limited to a firearm. The carnage would have been much worse if the Las Vegas mass murderer did not use a firearm and instead crashed his private plane loaded with explosives into the crowd. Gun control is based on the faulty notion that all ordinary American citizens are evil and ignorant and cannot be trusted with weapons. SEE LEUKHARDT, A5

www.ramonasentinel.com FROM LEUKHARDT, A4 Only through the blatant repeal of our Constitutional rights is gun control even possible. It would have to be enforced with such violations of individual rights as intrusive search and seizure. The various gun controls including licensing, waiting periods, and bans of certain types of firearms are of little, if any, value as crime-fighting measures. Banning guns to reduce crime makes as much sense as banning alcohol to reduce drunk driving. Statistical evidence shows that civilian gun ownership can be a powerful deterrent to crime. Citizens who go through the process of obtaining a concealed handgun permit tend to be extremely law-abiding. In the states where there is the right to carry, violent crime has gone down. In Britain, although there are very strict gun laws, violent crime has gone up by 21%. It seems that lacking widespread gun ownership just leads to other weapons/methods of murder, such as a knife or other sharp object, blunt

FROM BECK, A4 hundreds of other possible causes. Reason, logic and critical thinking are absent from the awareness of those who believe guns kill people rather than the person who planned the attack, loaded the gun, aimed the gun and pulled the trigger. They don’t seem to realize that the real world isn’t the utopia they envision; rather it can be a dangerous place where there are many perils other than gun violence that may be encountered every day. The NRA exists to promote the right to bear arms and teach people about firearms and safety. However, in recent years, due to increased pressure from anti-gunners, it has expanded into politics and legislation to defend the Second Amendment against ongoing efforts by anti-gunners who are out to attain the ultimate prize — total gun confiscation (although they don’t admit to it in public). As Americans, we are fortunate to have a magnificent Constitution and Bill of Rights giving us unalienable rights and freedoms emanating from God. However, with those rights come responsibilities; and with that we must defend those rights and liberties against the efforts of others who mistakenly believe all rights come only from government, because any government big enough to give you what

instruments, fire, poison or drugs. In countries with very strict gun controls, murder has been achieved with motor vehicles. In Nice, France, 84 people were killed by a motor vehicle as opposed to the 58 people killed in Las Vegas by automatic weapon fire. Throughout history, rulers and governments have been able to commit atrocities and mass murder of their citizens by disarming them first. “Man, by their various constitutions are naturally divided into: (1) Those who fear and distrust the people (2) Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe depository of the public interest. " —Thomas Jefferson In my opinion the gun control debate poses the basic question: Who is more trustworthy, the government or the people? I choose the American people! Susan Leukhardt is a Ramona resident. you want is big enough to take it away; and once liberty is lost, it’s lost forever. Part of defending liberty includes acquiring knowledge of our history concerning the founding of our nation, our founding documents and the lives of its founders. If we were to examine that history we would discover that the founders were students of history, of human nature, of the Bible and of the great philosophers. A study of their quotes in itself is an important lesson, for it was Thomas Jefferson in 1816 that said; “If a nation expects to be ignorant….and free….in a state of civilization, it expects what never was, and never will be.” So you see, the NRA and its members are lawfully defending the Second Amendment as written into the Bill of Rights. They know that gun control isn’t about guns — it’s about control. They know that guns are a deterrent to crime. Defending the right to bear arms is defending the God-given right of self-defense and is a patriot’s right and duty. The beauty of the Constitution is that it can be amended by the people to repeal anything, including the Second Amendment. However, Thomas Jefferson also said: “The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it away.” Darrell Beck is a Ramona resident.

FROM LETTERS, A4

Woman’s kindness a huge blessing I am a retired widow living on a fixed income. For the last six weeks I have had my son (who is not working), my 16-year-old granddaughter and their dog staying with me because they are homeless. One day about three weeks ago in what had been a very stressful week, my son and I were doing our grocery shopping in Albertsons and had put some items back on the shelves. When we got to the checkout, we were behind a lady who, when she had finished paying for her groceries, gave the clerk a bill and pointed to us. I told her “no,” that it wasn’t necessary. She told me it was OK and that she wanted to do it. She told me to have a nice day and left. I figured she had given the clerk a $20 bill and I stood ready to pay the rest. When the clerk finished, he gave me $10 back. I was completely dumbfounded. It was such a help in more ways than one. I would like the lady to know that she was a huge blessing to us that day and I thank her so much for following God’s lead to lend us a hand. God Bless. Ina Lowe Ramona

Sorting out the rising flood of homeless A letter was published in The San Diego Union-Tribune recently that suggested a simple solution to the ever-more-obvious problem of homeless people. We should provide shelters, send

substance abusers to rehab, the mentally ill to places for treatment, and the rest to jail. Sounds good. Perhaps we should try it here in Ramona on a smaller scale. If we could prove that it works, it might set an example that would relieve a lot of suffering in San Diego. The snag is that people are not apples and oranges, easily sorted. And, to quote a third-generation horse trainer, “Horses and humans are the most complicated, unpredictable species on Earth.” Of course, those homeless individuals polluting a river up north will be taken care of by nature, eventually. We still remember Mission Valley with its river in full flood. Wall-to-wall water was carrying someone’s barn out to sea, and it demolished the railroad trestle on its way. But this is a rising flood of people. Shouldn’t we try to find a way to sort out and help the justifiably homeless? Not wait for nature? Nature might be quicker than waiting for laws to change, but nature tends to be so violent. Edalee Orcutt Harwell Ramona

Observing Ramona Tea’d We humans got ahead because of our powers of observation. We learned to read the stars, the seasons, animal behavior and how other humans operate. All these techniques were necessary for survival, all learned before we invented TV, the Internet and social media that connects us without ever having to leave our homes. I did some observation at the Ramona Tea’d meeting on Sept. 30. Among other things we watched some person named louder with chowder? rant about liberals while standing next to a poster that read “Liberalism is a disease….. This is the cure.” The poster was of a man holding

a large caliber assault weapon and people in the audience were laughing. One man read a prayer asking God to provide the strength to stand up to the current assault on our freedoms. This was followed by a blur of speakers often citing God, and one person lamenting that he hated to think that there might be a civil war in America, but that it was looking more and more like there would be. One person asked everyone to become activists by joining the California Screaming Eagles, a group based on the Army’s 101st Airborne, and their courage in combat. The next speaker told us to be on the lookout for any programs focused on anti-Islamophobia because it was actually the spreading of Sharia law. Then we were told that kids in Ramona schools were being taught a false narrative on the history of Islam. They outlined the monthly postcard writing effort that included something about how masculinity was under attack by the left. Eventually they had the keynote speaker talking about his experience as a Department of Homeland Security anti-terrorist person. This man has a book out regarding what he calls the government’s submission to jihad. My summary on the meeting is that it was wholly militaristic with God providing the cover for placing liberals and Muslims in the cross-hairs of their rhetoric. I strongly suggest that they do some soul searching on how they are framing fellow Americans that they disagree with, such as liberals and Muslims — before some deranged person takes their rhetoric seriously and acts on it with violence. However, don’t believe me and go on with your social media activities. Instead, I urge all people of Ramona to attend Ramona Tea’d meetings and observe for themselves. Dave Patterson Ramona

Mountain Valley Ranch celebrates 20th anniversary BY KAREN BRAINARD Mountain Valley Ranch is not only celebrating fall with its annual festive pumpkin patch, but this year the Ramona business is marking its 20th anniversary. Owned by the Battaglia family, Mountain Valley Ranch with its tan-colored barn at 842 state Route 78 on the east side of town is a well-known sight for locals as well as out-of-towners. “Every year we get new customers,” said Joyce Battaglia, who bought the ranch and moved to Ramona with her three children, Markie, Marcus and John James, in 1997. For the family from Coronado, they found the move to the backcountry therapeutic as it was a year after Joyce’s husband died. It was a good change for the children after losing their father, said Joyce, whose mother, Twanette Presley, and sister, Janet Mendez, were already living in Ramona. “We did the planting, weeding, harvesting,” said Markie. “It was good, kind of therapy for us … We jumped right in.” In addition to the pumpkin patch, the ranch offers hay rides, a corn maze, corn cannon, pony rides, petting zoo, and photo opportunities behind wooden Halloween cut-outs. “Each year it’s gotten better,” said Joyce, adding, “I don’t want it to be commercialized.”

KAREN BRAINARD

Mountain Valley Ranch owner Joyce Battaglia and her cousin, Andy Chavez, work at the ranch's annual pumpkin patch where a variety of activities, pumpkins and other fall decor await visitors. Visiting the pumpkin patch is free, but there are fees for the pony rides, corn maze and corn cannon. “We try to keep it reasonable and make it family fun,” said Markie. Snacks and refreshments are available on the weekends as are the hay rides. Joyce said the hay

rides take visitors to the back side of the ranch and to the roping arena. “We have it all decorated for Halloween,” she said. “They do get the experience of a working ranch.” The Battaglias sell a variety of home-grown pumpkins and gourds, Indian corn and corn

stalks. For the fourth year, Joyce’s cousin, Andy Chavez, has made the trip from Colorado to help out in October. “I love it,” he said after assisting customers in the barn. “It’s like a little vacation for me.” Children can see a variety of farm animals at the petting zoo where Babyface steals the show. The Battaglias have had the 1,500-pound buffalo since 2011. “People stop in just to see Babyface,” said Markie. “He eats a lot of pumpkins. Pumpkins are like candy to animals.” Also at the petting zoo are a veal calf that the family bought at the Ramona Junior Fair, which they do every year, sheep, a miniature donkey, a horse, turkeys, chickens, peacocks and pigs that are brought in by a friend. Several goats while away their time at the goat maze. “It’s just a positive environment for everyone. It’s our favorite time of the year,” said Markie. Halloween isn’t the only holiday the ranch is open to the public. On the day after Thanksgiving the ranch begins selling Christmas trees, wreaths and garland in the barn. Joyce acknowledged her appreciation of Ranch Manager Dave Sullivan, who has been there 15 years. “He lives on the ranch. He really runs the ranch,” she said. SEE RANCH, A8

Having served the Chamber as director for 10+ years, I have held the positions of president, vice president and on the Executive Board for five years. One of my duties as a director has included chair and co-chair of the Ramona Country Fair for four years. I am now the chairperson of the Scholarship and Education Grant programs for the chamber. My community service includes Rotary past president, vice president, co-chair for Student of the Month, Fourth of July fundraising, VFW Auxiliary Board of Directors, and my place of business, the Java Hut, supports fundraising by other community organizations.

In full-time work mode, I volunteered to coach, help in schools and was a “grab-the-stroller-to-walk Susan G. Komen” mom. More recently in Ramona, I worked projects and devoted time to the Kiwanis Club (2 years), Ramona Relay for Life, Marketing Chair (3+ years), Old West Days, Marketing (2 years), Dresses for African Girls event, recent Chamber Marketing Committee work, and more. I actually grew up with service models near West Point, N.Y. My military dad, flower child mom, and selfless aunts showed me there is ALWAYS a reason to rise, and to serve. I am seeking the opportunity to be a part of the Ramona Chamber of Commerce Board, and to leverage what I love to do: Marketing/Communications — print and digital, photography, events, teamwork with talented and committed people, and more as time and change allows. I am truly honored to be considered for the Ramona Chamber of Commerce Board.

Start Smart teen driving class at RHS Oct. 24 As part of National Teen Driver Safety Week, a California Highway Patrol officer will be at Ramona High School, 1401 Hanson Lane, to lead a Start Smart class from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 24. “The Start Smart Program is an opportunity for new drivers and their parents/guardians to clearly understand their responsibilities when a teen starts to drive,” the sheriff’s department said. “Taught by trained law enforcement personnel, it creates awareness of possible consequences, both financial and physical, of distracted or impaired driving, and provides

applicable information about collision prevention.” The class also details the restrictions of the Provisional License Law and touches on social host ordinances. The often-graphic videos and daunting statistics provide a reality check that lingers long after the class, the sheriff’s website notes. Each teen will receive a certificate of completion and a custom-designed key-chain bearing the theme of the Teen Safe Driving Program. Students may register for the class at the high school or the sheriff’s Ramona station at 1424 Montecito Road.

Bulldogs maintain lead in Palomar League Team ranked No. 5 in San Diego Section

BY JOE NAIMAN Statistics can be misleading, and nobody was concerned that Mt. Carmel High School dominated the time of possession figure during Ramona High School's 41-3 victory over the Sundevils on Mt. Carmel's field Oct. 13. The Bulldogs had three rushing touchdowns, one passing touchdown, one touchdown on an interception, and one touchdown on a blocked punt so twice Ramona's offense didn't take the field between Mt. Carmel possessions. Another interception was returned 56 yards, giving Ramona a short distance for the offense to cross the end zone. "Defense was on the field a lot, but it was a good team win," said Ramona head coach Damon Baldwin. "Things went well. We scored in all areas of the game." Defensive end Gabriel Stallman intercepted two Mt. Carmel passes. He fumbled the ball on one of the interception returns, but Christian Gabriel recovered and scored for Ramona. Stallman was brought

Both players are Ramona High seniors. down just short of the end zone on his 56-yard return. Gabriel also blocked a punt, and Nick Maccini returned the ball into the end zone. The passing touchdown was a strike from Casey Buggeln to Tristan Stacy, which covered the 59 necessary yards. Ramona had only 33 offensive snaps while Mt. Carmel's offense was on the field for 62 plays. Mt. Carmel had a 315-266 advantage in yards from scrimmage, which does not include return yardage.

Caleb Berman, Sean McDonald and Joaquin Gonzalez had Ramona's rushing touchdowns. The Bulldogs held a 28-3 halftime lead. "I'm just happy for the kids. They're playing well," Baldwin said. The victory gave Ramona a 7-0 overall record including a 4-0 mark in Palomar League play. Ramona leads the Palomar League standings, and the Bulldogs are ranked first among teams in Division II for CIF playoff purposes and fifth among all teams in the CIF San Diego Section.

Team finishes regular season second in league California Interscholastic Federation playoff selection and seeding is expected to give Ramona High School's girls tennis team a home playoff match next week. The Bulldogs finished their regular season with a 12-5 overall record,

Bulldogs split league matches; San Diego Open tourney up next BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s water polo team lost the Bulldogs’ Senior Night game Oct. 10 at home against Valley Center but defeated Classical Academy in an Oct. 12 match in Escondido. “We played well both games,” said Ramona coach Donnie Williams. Ramona’s only two seniors are Josh Ferry and Jared Robison, who were honored before Ramona’s final home game of the season. Only four other players were on the 2016 varsity, and the relative lack of

experience may explain why the Bulldogs allowed two Valley Center players to score 11 of the Jaguars’ 12 goals. “We’ve got to do a better job of defending those players,” Williams said. The Jaguars held a 4-3 lead after the first period. Ramona tied the game in the second quarter, although Valley Center scored later in that period for a 5-4 halftime advantage. The Valley Center cushion after three periods was 9-7, and the Jaguars had an 11-7 lead

before Ramona’s final goal was scored with three minutes remaining. One additional Valley Center goal finalized the score at 12-8. “I thought it was a good game all the way back and forth,” Williams said. Classical Academy plays its home games at the Washington Park pool in Escondido. Ramona’s lead over the Caimans was 5-1 after one quarter, 7-3 at halftime, and 11-5 after three periods, and the final score was 14-7.

“I thought it was a good game for us,” Williams said. A player with three exclusions in a game is removed for the rest of the game, and by the fourth quarter that was the case with three Ramona players. “The rest of the team stepped up and made good plays,” Williams said. Ramona received 18 exclusions in the game with Classical Academy. “We were just getting calls that were going against us,” Williams said. “It wasn’t an easy game by any

stretch.” Valley Center and Classical Academy are Valley League opponents for Ramona. The win over Classical Academy gave Ramona a 2-1 league record and an overall season record of 6-14. The Bulldogs have the San Diego Open tournament Friday and Saturday and will conclude league and regular-season play Oct. 25 at Fallbrook. “I’m looking for a good strong week,” Williams said. “I’m proud of the guys. It’s a good group to coach.”

Prep Girls Volleyball

Fallbrook game may decide league championship BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's girls volleyball team will close its regular season with matches Oct. 25 at Escondido High School and Oct. 27 at Fallbrook High School, where the Valley League championship will likely be decided. Ramona and Fallbrook each had 3-0 records in league play entering their Oct. 11 match against each other in Ramona. The Bulldogs gained the advantage in the standings with a 25-19, 25-21, 25-16

victory. "We knew that we were going to have to come out and really be aggressive," said Ramona coach Connie Halfaker. The Warriors held a 12-point lead in the second game. "Paige Torsak came in and just went on a massive serving spree," Halfaker said. Torsak had two serving aces for the match, as did Sierra Adkins. McKenna Marshall and Gracie Seits had three aces SEE VOLLEYBALL, A15

NJROTC air rifle team beats McDowell BY ERIK K. ANDERSON Shooting its highest score of the season, Ramona NJROTC defeated McDowell NJROTC 1072-1015 in the most recent National Air Rifle League competition, putting Ramona in third place in its division with a 2-0 record. Paige Hugelmaier, who shot a 273, led the Bulldog team. The remaining contributing members were Marisa Houry, Nicole Lewis and Joseph Schultz. Retired U.S. Navy CPO Bob Richardson, naval instructor at Ramona High, coaches the team. McDowell NJROTC is from Marion, N.C. Next, Ramona NJROTC will compete against Parlier NJROTC from Parlier, Calif., which has a 0-1 record. The teams compete in the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps Champions Division of the Orion National Air Rifle League. Sponsored by the

Orion Scoring System, the league is a national team league for high school teams and junior rifle clubs. The league has two parts: An eight-week round-robin regular season going on now, where teams compete for their division's title, followed by the post-season with two single elimination tournaments. Only the top 16 teams across all divisions advance to the post-season to compete for the league title. In each game the teams compete in what is known as a Three-Position Air Rifle match. The match is modeled after Olympic Rifle competitions but adapted to high school athletes. Each athlete shoots 10 shots in three shooting positions: Prone, standing and kneeling. Each shot is worth a maximum of 10 points. The sum of points scored in the 30 shots is the athlete's total. The team score is the total of the best four athletes from each team.

Swimmers post best times in Freestyle Festival BY DAN HAMMONDS Does it get any better than a swim meet where participants only swim freestyle? It does when the whole team performs as well as the Ramona Swim Team did at the first meet of the 2017-18 season. The team walked away from the Freestyle Festival at the Poway Community Swim Center with 78 percent best times. Thirty-one swimmers represented Ramona. “I was very grateful to our team of parents led by Dan Hammonds and Blue group swimmers who stepped up to help make the entire day run smoothly,” said coach Becky Holden. Ramona’s older swimmers made an impact on the team’s youngest and newest swimmers. Special thanks went to Daniella

Ashburn for supplying a meet official the entire day. The team also was grateful to coach Nicole Holloway, who assisted Holden with timing and other coaching duties. The 10 & Under Stroke School group ended the meet with best times in 13 of the 15 events. Four of Ramona’s six swimmers had 100 percent best times: Emma Accardi, Mia Conkel, Liam Holloway and Jacey Morton, who had a best time in every event she swam, making her the group’s swimmer of the meet. She dropped 24 seconds in her 100-yard freestyle and 10 seconds in her 50 freestyle and achieved the greatest amount of improvement at 17 percent. Runner-up was Zay Lucas who cut his knee just before warm-up, but jumped in

FROM TENNIS, A10 record as part of their overall 45-7 mark for the regular season. Jessica Nelson and Zaydee Cordova were 17-7 against league opponents, and Ashley Cortez and Chelsea Boss were 9-3 when playing as a doubles team in league matches. "My girls are pretty happy," coach Romero said. Valley League has five teams, so each school has a bye each round. Ramona had a Sept. 25 non-league match at home against Mount Miguel and defeated the Matadors, 13-5, winning seven of the nine singles sets and six of the nine doubles sets. Failla defeated her three Mount Miguel counterparts in 6-0 sets. Hogervorst and Boss each won two singles sets. The doubles team of Nowakowski and Halli Romero won two 6-0 sets while losing a 7-1 tie-breaking game to the Mount Miguel doubles team after each tandem had won six games. Nelson and Cordova won two of their three sets while Tiffany Meredith and Hailey Henshaw had one doubles victory for the Bulldogs. Ramona's Oct. 3 home match against Valley Center was a 14-4 victory. The match included the return of Cortez to Ramona's tennis team, so Romero paired Cortez and Boss as a doubles team. "She'll be with us the rest of the year, and it's already made a big difference," Romero said of Cortez. That required Romero to replace Boss with less experienced players in the No. 3 singles role. "I'm going to lose third singles most of the time

the water without complaint and swam like a professional. He and Jacey have new B times in the 25 freestyle. The Red group’s 12 swimmers swam in 33 events and 27 were best times. The most impressive drops in time came from Maggie Weighill, who cut 18 seconds off her 100 freestyle; Nina Holloway, who cut 21 seconds off her 100 freestyle; Joshua Ashburn, who cut 17 seconds off his 200 freestyle; and Brance Douglas, who cut 47 seconds off his 200 freestyle. Seven swimmers in the Red group that had 100% best times: Madeline Engen, Ethan Hammonds, Kai Hammonds, Nina Holloway, Jordan Isham, Joaquin Leon and Maggie Weighill. Avonlea Hammonds had a new A time in her 100 freestyle. The Red SEE SWIMMING, A15

now, but it's OK. What I make up in doubles, it's fine," Romero said. Ramona won five singles points against Valley Center with Failla prevailing in three 6-0 contests and Hogervorst winning two sets. The Bulldogs captured all nine doubles points. "We've never swept all of the doubles," Romero said. Nelson and Cordova had two 6-0 sets among their three victories. Nowakowski and Halli Romero won three sets including one by a 6-0 score, and Boss and Cortez had three 6-1 triumphs. The Oct. 4 match at San Pasqual had league championship implications, as the Golden Eagles were responsible for Ramona's only previous league loss. "It was as close as you can get," said Romero. "Unfortunately we lost on the tie-breaker." Ramona and San Pasqual each won nine sets, but the Golden Eagles won 75 games and the Bulldogs 72 games. The result kept San Pasqual undefeated in league competition, giving Ramona two league losses, both to the Golden Eagles. San Pasqual junior Karen Nguyen won a game against Failla in Nguyen's 6-1 loss while Failla had 6-0 victories against sophomore Sophie Belair and senior Cali Smith. "Julia's just rolling," Romero said. Belair had a 6-4 victory over Hogervorst, who lost 6-3 games against Nguyen and Smith. "She played really well," Romero said of Hogervorst. "Usually she doesn't get a game from

Cali or Karen. She got three from each of them." Henshaw initially and then Meredith played No. 3 singles for Ramona, but all three of those sets were 6-0 losses. The Bulldogs took six of the nine doubles points. Nelson and Cordova won 7-5 and 6-4 sets and had a 6-2 loss. Nowakowski and Halli Romero had 6-4 and 6-2 victories and a 6-1 defeat. Boss and Cortez were on the winning side of 7-5 and 6-0 sets while losing a 6-3 contest. "It was really tough," Romero said of the loss to San Pasqual. Romero became Ramona's coach last year. His first match against San Pasqual was a 16-2 Golden Eagles victory, and Ramona's other 2016 match against the Golden Eagles ended as a 14-4 San Pasqual triumph. In the first round of league play this year, San Pasqual prevailed over Ramona, 11-7, Sept. 12 on the Riviera Oaks courts in Ramona. "I'm proud of them. They've made huge strides in the last two seasons," Romero said San Pasqual's 14-4 win Oct. 5 at Valley Center gave the Jaguars their fourth league loss of the season, which in conjunction with Ramona's 13-5 home win over Escondido that day clinched second place for the Bulldogs. "They came back," Romero said of the win after the loss, which eliminated the Bulldogs from the league championship. "That's what was really impressive." Hogervorst won all three of her sets by 6-0 scores. Failla won two 6-0 sets, and Henshaw played in the third round and also had a 6-0 win.

DAVE EVANS

Meredith had a 6-1 victory. Nowakowski and Halli Romero won all three of their sets, including one 6-0 contest. Nelson and Cordova won two sets as did Boss and Cortez. Ramona concluded league play Oct. 10 with a 13-5 victory over Fallbrook at the Fallbrook Tennis Club. The Bulldogs won eight of the nine doubles sets with Nowakowski and Halli Romero taking 6-1, 6-1 and 6-0 victories; Nelson and Cordova winning 6-3, 6-2 and 6-1 sets; and Cortez and Meredith winning 6-2 and 6-0 sets while losing a 6-2 contest. Failla did not play against the Warriors but is expected to face Fallbrook junior Imogen Isaac in the Valley League individual tournament final. Hogervorst lost a 6-3 set to Isaac but had 6-3 and 6-0 victories. Boss had 6-4 and 6-1 triumphs along with a 6-1 loss to Isaac. Henshaw won one of her sets by a 6-2 score. "That was a great match. Girls played terrific, and I was very proud of them," Troy Romero said. The Bulldogs' regular season concluded Oct. 11 with a 15-3 home victory over University City. The Centurions swept the matches against the three No. 3 singles players Romero used, which accounted for their only points. "We won every doubles. It was fantastic. The girls were just on fire," Romero said. Nelson and Cordova had a 6-0 win among their three victories, as did Boss and Cortez. Nowakowski and Halli Romero also won all three of their sets. Failla won all three of her sets by 6-0 scores and Hogervorst was also victorious in all three of her contests.

"We controlled the ball well, which allowed us to run our offense," Halfaker said. The passing average statistic is based on the number of options a pass gives the setter with three options being perfect. "All of our primary passers were at 2 or above," Halfaker said. Seits led the team with eight digs against San Pasqual. "It was some of the cleanest, most focused and unified play that I've seen," Halfaker said. The wins over Fallbrook and San Pasqual gave Ramona an overall season record of 24-7 as well as the 5-0 Valley League mark. The top eight teams in Division I will spend the post-season in the Open Division playoffs while the other teams will compete in the Division I bracket. Ramona currently stands sixth, which would place the Bulldogs in the Open Division in the absence of changes. The CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting will be Oct. 28.

apiece. Marshall had 17 kills, a .312 hitting percentage and 10 digs. Seits had 13 kills, a .357 hitting percentage, 11 digs and three blocks. "We never had a weak rotation either on defense or offense that they could take advantage of," Halfaker said. Adkins led the team with 17 digs. Jilian Martin set for 32 assists. "It was a strong effort on both sides of the ball," Halfaker said. Marshall, Martin and Amanda Donais were honored during Senior Night festivities before the Oct. 13 home match against San Pasqual. Marshall had nine kills and five aces, Martin had 26 assists, and Donais had 10 kills and a .643 hitting percentage in the Bulldogs' 25-14, 25-14, 25-22 victory over the Golden Eagles.

FROM SWIMMING, A14 group’s swimmer of the meet went to Jordan, who has three new B times in the 100, 200 and 500 freestyle. The Blue & Jr. Blue groups had 13 swimmers who made best times in 32 of their 43 events. Five swimmers who made 100 percent best times were; Aly Arias, Nikki Arias, Michelle Backholer, Ethan Thompson and Christian Wright. Roger Ashburn had a new A time in the 200 freestyle. “It was a magnificent swim,” said Holden. Isabella Buonaugurio had a new B time in the 100 freestyle. Toby Holloway had a 33-second time drop in the 100 freestyle, a 27 percent improvement. The swimmer of the meet was Nikki Arias, who had 100 percent best times after spending all morning helping make the youngest and newest swimmer, Mia Conkel, feel welcome and at ease at her first swim meet. “One of the brightest spots of my day was seeing Mia’s face after her first race,” Holden said. That is what Ramona Swim Team is all about: fun, friends and fundamentals.

San Marcos. During those nearly four decades, he maintained the county’s roads and infrastructure. He was responsible for a variety of special projects and his management style earned the respect and affection of his co-workers. as a teen of the 50’s, Ray was a hot-rodder at heart. His retirement allowed him more time to indulge in his four-wheel hobby. a 25-year member of PickUps Limited, San Diego Chapter, his pride and joy hot-rod was his 1956 Ford F-100 pickup. It was hard to miss Ray and his bright yellow truck at any cruising event. Ray is survived by his widow, Leona; children,

For many years, they operated the Pork on the Rocks Ranch in Ramona and at its height, maintained nearly 350 head of swine.

RAMONA SENTINEL - OCTOBER 19, 2017 - PAGE A17

Sheriff’s units arrest three, find bomb-making materials BY KAREN BRAINARD Several sheriff’s units were called in Sunday including bomb/arson and SWAT to 1137 Summer Glen Road, resulting in three arrests and the discovery of possible improvised explosive devices (IED) and homemade firearms, reported the sheriff’s Ramona station. Arrested were Dalton Thrasher, 27, who was located under the residence, for outstanding felony warrant; Barbara Thornton, 41, violation of a court order for eviction; and Billy Henson, 41, resisting arrest and under the influence of a controlled substance, according to the report. All three are Ramona residents, said Lt. Jerry Hartman. The property has been a known hang-out of prolific offenders, said Sgt. Robert Samuels. Hartman said the station had been working on getting an arrest warrant for Thrasher, who was suspected of parole violation. The site had been owned by Anna Merino, who died about a year ago and willed the land to her daughter, but some of her renters refused to leave, said Hartman. The daughter was in the process of trying to have them evicted, he said. Additional people had also moved onto the property — most of them either homeless or “couch-surfing,” said Hartman. Among their living quarters were sheds, Conex boxes, and trailers, he said, adding that they’ve had numerous complaints. In the past month, deputies found a couple of stolen vehicles on the

property, so when a pickup truck was reported stolen, a deputy checked and saw it on the property Sunday morning, around 8:30, said Hartman. The Ramona Investigative Unit along with the Ramona Crime Suppression Team followed up on the investigation and obtained a search warrant for the property. Because it is roughly eight acres with multiple structures and several occupants with firearms history, the SWAT team was called in to serve the warrant around 6:30 p.m. The sheriff’s aerial support unit, ASTREA and K9s also participated in the property search, which lasted about two hours. Several people fled or hid, the station reported. During the search, bomb/arson assisted in destroying a pipe bomb, found several homemade firearms and ammunition, and found bomb making materials that included chemicals in a room of the house, said officials. “It is very concerning when you find these kind of items (and) what they’re intended use is going to be,” said Hartman. The stolen pickup truck was recovered along with other possible stolen property and a small amount of methamphetamine was seized, reported Samuels. Deputies were at the scene until 3 a.m. Monday. “Additional charges are forthcoming as the investigation continues,” said Samuels. In other reports: Friday, Oct. 13 • Male, 23, arrested, Pala and Ramona streets, use/under influence of

controlled substance and possess controlled substance paraphernalia. • Petty theft of wallet and $267 in U.S. currency from vehicle, 18700 block of Little Page Road. Thursday, Oct. 12 • Male, 27, arrested, B Street, felony bench warrant. • Male, 46, arrested, A Street, use/under influence of controlled substance and possess controlled substance. Wednesday, Oct. 11 • Male, 51, arrested, 1800 block Main Street, possess controlled substance paraphernalia. • Residential burglary, 17100 block Garjan Lane, $1,575 worth of power tools, occurred between Oct. 6 and 11. Tuesday, Oct. 10 • Male, 24, arrested, 1000 block Poplar Street, take vehicle without owner’s consent/vehicle theft and obstruct/resist peace officer/emergency medical technician. • Victim of take vehicle without owner’s consent/vehicle theft – pickup truck, 400 block Stockalper Lane. • Vandalism $400 or more to pickup truck, E and Eighth streets. Monday, Oct. 9 • Male, 29, arrested, 500 block 14th Street, battery: spouse/ex-spouse/date and vandalism $400 or less. • Two juveniles arrested, 600 block Eighth St., drunk in public. One also received minor infraction for possess marijuana on grounds during school activity. • Male, 35, arrested, 700 block B Street, violate domestic relations court order.

Norma Jean Cessna May 26, 1934 - October 5, 2017

RaMOna — norma Jean Cessna was called home by our Lord on October 5, 2017. norma was born on May 26, 1934 in in Butterfly, KY to James and Zola Sparks. She was the eldest of six girls and one boy. She was very proud of her “hillbilly” roots and played a large part in raising her siblings. as a child, norma enjoyed school in Scuddy Hollow even though the walk was long. Her favorite subjects were English, writing and was brilliant with grammar. Classes weren’t separated back then, the high school students were inclusive with the younger students. norma enjoyed playing the guitar. although extremely bashful she sang beautifully and played in church and in school. People would often ask her

to come play and sing for them. as an adult she also learned to play the organ. She played and sang to her children which brought them all joy. norma could yodel like a champ at a very young age. You could often catch her while at the kitchen sink washing dishes. In her later years, she favored whistling. norma could

whistle like a songbird and would often break-out in spontaneous whistling while doing housework or at the grocery store. norma’s children cherished her whistling. norma was surely a spitfire and never backed down when she was “right”, this was a trait all family knew well! In 1954, norma married her first husband, Robert Edward Sickinger. They had five children: Shauna, Scott, Tami, Lisa, and Steven. In 1969, the family moved to Ramona, Ca and bought the Ranch Drive In which she operated for many years. norma spent the last 28 years married to her current husband, Richard Dean Cessna. norma’s legacy as a loving wife, daughter,

sister, aunt, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, along with her never-ending kindness, generosity, and compassion will live on in those that love her. anyone who met this social butterfly instantly fell in love with her vivacious personality, sense of humor and infectious laugh. Together with her children, norma also leaves behind nine grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. Memorial services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the alzheimer’s association (www.alz.org). Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

KIWANIS KEY CLUB TIDIES MAIN STREET Ramona High School Kiwanis Key Club members spend four hours of their day off from school Oct. 6 sweeping Main Street sidewalks, picking up trash and raking leaves. Working with their Kiwanis adviser, Dave Geary, they filled 127 bags of trash and leaves. Key Club is an international student-led organization that provides members with opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership. Pictured with Geary are Caedon Barraclough, Kaitlyn Powell, Jose Velica, Brina Cortes, Juan Cortes, Mitchell Sutter, Peyton White, Cody Crenshaw, Emma Hall, Bella Ettore, Ryann Alcorn, Julia Plantz and Jeff Ramsthaler.

Melissa Sargent, founder and CEO of Hearts & Hooves Therapy, will be the guest speaker at the San Vicente Valley Club’s luncheon meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 25. The luncheon, open to the public, will be in San Vicente Resort, 24157 San Vicente Road. Check-in is at 11 a.m. Reservations are requested either at the front desk of San Vicente Resort or by calling Pam Molthen at 760-789-6659 by Friday, Oct. 20. Sargent has been involved with horses for 17 years on all levels from scooping poop to showing, training and caring for them. Her experience has ranged from 4-H, Future Farmers of America and earning a veterinary assistant certification. She has studied animal behavior and is a Pet Partner's animal therapy handler. A foster child who was adopted and raised by a foster parent, she said she learned many things from

all the children served in her home. Hearts & Hooves Therapy, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity, enhances the lives of children and adults at any age and ability with a different kind of therapy. Volunteers use animal assisted activities (AAA) and animal assisted therapy (AAT) to offer on-site sessions and off-site visits with their mini horses and other animals. They serve any and all, regardless of where they are located or what they are going through, said Sargent. In addition to their monthly luncheon meetings, San Vicente Valley Club has numerous interest groups. Among them are Book Marks, Dining Divas, Salt Shakers, Lunch Bunch, Movie Group, Bunco and Scrabble. All residents of the Ramona area are welcome.

Singers invite public to ‘Ramona Meets Broadway’ Ramona Community Singers (RCS) invites the community to its “Ramona Meets Broadway” sing-along, a fun-filled, toe-tapping event of musical numbers from Broadway shows, on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 7 to 9 p.m. The family-friendly sing-along will be held in the Charles R. Nunn Performing Arts Center at Olive Peirce Middle School, 1521 Hanson Lane. Admission is free but canned donations to the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet will be accepted. Musical numbers from shows including “The Sound of Music,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “West Side Story” and “Wizard of Oz” will be performed. Attendees are invited to dress as their favorite Broadway character. "Now is your chance to belt out a tune from your favorite musical — from ‘My Favorite

Things’ to ‘All That Jazz,’ said RCS Director Gina Seashore. “This family-friendly concert includes songs for all ages. There’s safety in numbers, so everyone — even shower singers — is welcome. “The mission of Ramona Community Singers is to enrich and inspire people through fun, friendship and song, and we think this concert fits that bill. And, since the concert is so near Halloween, we thought it would be fun to add costumes to the mix.” Ramona Community Singers is an intergenerational community chorus of volunteer members ages 15 to 80 who share a love of group singing. RCS performs several times a year at community events, clubs and organizations, retirement homes and hospitals. For more information, call 760-788-1887 or visit ramonacommunitysingers.org.

FROM STORE, A1 Sean Galloway. The store is open from 2:45 to 4:15 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. By state law, the store cannot sell food or drinks until a half hour after school is out. “Right now it’s our best time of the year,” said Wilkerson, noting that it’s football season and a lot of players, as well as other athletes, buy snacks and drinks from the store. Often their customers are standing outside the store waiting for it to open, he said. Wilkerson has 15 students in his class and two or three will work in the store in the afternoons. “We all take turns,” explained Kyleigh Sebenius. “We rotate each week.” Ruben Faris Macedo said they enjoy rotating jobs, such as who works the cash register or assists with handing out items to the customers. Sean said their prices are inexpensive since they buy in bulk from retail stores. The Bulldog Student Store can also offer lower prices “because we’re volunteer workers,” said Miguel Dinero. Popular items that they sell are Little Debbie products, Gatorade and Arizona iced teas. The store also sells chips, candy and sodas. Also in demand are instant soups, especially during colder weather, with the store providing the hot water needed for the quick meal. To celebrate the 10,000th customer, who was

FROM VILLAGE, A1 town square with mixed use — retail and residential — by Elliott Pond in the northwest corner of the property where he proposes activities, outdoor cafes, shops and residential units. But to make that financially viable, Hagey has said the remaining 14 acres would need to be developed with larger retailers that could include a big box store. Some neighboring residents have pushed back, saying it could cause increased traffic, crime and potential flooding in their area. Even among members of the village design group, which created the form-based code with a consultant and county staff, there have been concerns about Hagey’s plans for his property. Village design chair Rob Lewallen said he took a non-binding poll at the group’s Sept. 27 meeting to see who would not vote to include the Hagey property in the form-based code if there are no restrictions. Five of the eight attending members raised their hands: Lewallen, Dawn Perfect, Bob Stoody, Torry Brean and Jim Robinson. Members Ron Rodolff, Steve Powell and Carol Fowler indicated they were OK to include the property with no restrictions, said Lewallen. The chair said he then asked what it would take for members to include it in the code boundaries and the following were suggested:

FROM HEARING, A1 meeting that the commission would allow additional comments from SDG&E and those opposed to the utility’s request. The discussion centers on what is called “inverse condemnation” — a California constitutional claim that requires payment of just compensation when property has been taken or damaged for the public use. Originally, commissioners were scheduled to vote on SDG&E’s request during the Sept. 28 meeting, which was held in Chula Vista and attended by some of the residents whose property and homes were damaged or destroyed by the Witch, Guejito and Rice wildfires. A pair of CPUC administrative law judges

Students in Ramona High's adult transition class stand outside the campus store they operate. Back row: Reggie Moody, Ruben Farias Macedo, Manuel Dinero, Miguel Dinero, Sean Galloway, Cassie Dick, and Lorraine Martin; front row: Kayla Cooper, Megan Falconer, Priscilla Naranjo, Carolina Flores, Kyleigh Sebenius, Marisol Alcantara, and teacher Lee Wilkerson. Not pictured: Robert Vellone. RHS student Tyler Johnson, those working in the store that day with Lisa Sosbee, the para-professional who works with the adult transition class, congratulated Johnson and gave him a certificate and coupons for buying future products in the store. “We couldn’t do this without Lisa,” said • Create a buffer on the property along H street and a buffer on the Ramona Street side. Also, create a visual/noise buffer to the east side. It is still to be determined how large that buffer would be and what it would be, although possibilities could be landscape, greenhouses or residential on quarter-acre lots as it is currently zoned, said Lewallen. • For maximum size of a future large anchor business or big box, the majority said they were more likely to support approximately 100,000 square feet, possibly 120,000, instead of 150,000 square feet. • For maximum number of large commercial buildings on the property, Lewallen said he suggested three, including the main anchor, with the other two smaller, possibly between 20,000 to 40,000 square feet. One idea was including just portions of the property in the form-based code boundaries, Lewallen added. To address flood concerns, county planner Tim Vertino told the Sentinel he is hoping to bring some information to the Oct. 25 meeting. Vertino said he is also looking into developing options related to setbacks along Main Street, as requested by the design review board at its Sept. 28 meeting. The board discussed expanding setbacks from 15 feet to 45 feet for preservation of the eucalyptus trees. in August recommended commissioners reject SDG&E’s request, saying the utility’s management and control of its facilities leading up to the wildfires was “imprudent” and “unreasonable.” SDG&E officials maintain the wildfires were caused by circumstances beyond the utility’s control and point to decisions by California courts, which have ruled utilities can spread their costs of damages to ratepayers. SDG&E has estimated its proposal would cost the average ratepayer $1.67 more per month over the space of six years. Commissioners are free to accept, reject or alter the recommendation made by the administrative law judges. Rob Nikolewski writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Wilkerson. Student Cassie Dick nodded in agreement. Sosbee comes in at 10:30 a.m. and stays later to help the students in the store. The school district gives the students a ride home at the end of the day, said Wilkerson. “It’s all part of the class,” he said.

The store has an electronic cash register and products are arranged on shelves and in glass cases. “They have to learn how to handle money safely,” said Wilkerson. With the profits, Cassie said they make T-shirts to sell in the store. Wilkerson said the students created the Ramona High Bulldogs design on the T-shirts. Profits also are used for random acts of kindness, he said. The experience has been especially helpful for students who have after-school jobs working in local stores. Wilkerson noted that all of them have a resume and among skills they can include are operating a cash register and providing customer service. Some former students work at the Goodwill store, he said, and others go on to community college. “They’re very proud of themselves and for the store we have,” he said. In addition to their retail skills, they spend time in their classroom kitchen. Sean said they made cookies to give to firefighters and on Oct. 12 delivered cookies to the sheriff’s Ramona station. Wilkerson said they plan to do the same for other special groups in Ramona. When the students turn 22 years old they finish the class at the end of that semester. According to Wilkerson, he will lose three students in December and three in June, but new students will be transitioning into the class.

www.ramonasentinel.com FROM CHAMBER, A8 High School and I'm so proud to be back in my hometown to raise my own children here. I am married to my wonderful husband Kevin and we have three children: Christopher, who is in his first year at SDSU, Nicholas, an eighth-grader at OPMS and Annalyse, who is in her last year at Barnett Elementary. I am the Multimedia Account Executive with the Ramona Sentinel and enjoy that I work in the same town I grew up in. I get to see familiar faces and have had the chance to meet many new ones. I love what I do because I am able to interact with the business owners who make our town what it is. I am running for one of the Board of Director positions because I would like to be more involved with helping our town be all that it can be.

Cindy Galloway My husband Jeff and I moved from Central Indiana to Ramona in 1998. I left my job as Executive Director of an Indiana convention and visitors bureau and within two months of arriving in Ramona I started my new job as Executive Secretary for Ramona Parks & Recreation (retiring in 2016) and joined the Ramona Rotary Club. Since then I have served on the Ramona Senior Center Board of Directors and I

am a current board member serving on the Ramona Community Foundation. This year I celebrate five consecutive years serving on the Ramona Chamber Board of Directors and have held the position of secretary for the past four years. My wish is to continue serving the Ramona community through my seat on the Chamber board and working alongside all my associates who volunteer their time and energy towards community events and projects that enrich the Ramona business climate and Ramona residents.

Carol Fowler I have served over the years in many aspects of the Ramona Chamber of Commerce from the Executive Director as an employee, director, past president and chair of Economic Development. I also serve on Supervisor Jacob’s Ramona Revitalization Committee. Ramona faces many challenges. Do we grow? Do we add roads to improve our circulation or do we just maintain our status quo? These are just a few of the questions we are faced with. If elected, I will continue to represent our community and fight to get the road improvements and infrastructure that Ramona needs to keep current and make it easier to access local businesses. In addition, I will continually fight to remove the

constraints on Main Street that stop development from occurring.

Kevin Brown In 2003 right before the fire we packed up the truck and came home to Ramona. After being here I started contracting with Lowes and Home Depot. I did that for 15 years until I decided to break away and start doing remodels for the last couple of years. While doing these remodeling jobs, I met the owner of One Stop Equipment Rental here in Ramona. We hit it off and I started doing remodels for a couple of his houses. In doing these houses, I saw an opportunity to purchase the rental yard. We talked about it for about six months, then we agreed to move forward last April. I love our small-town community. I attend Mountain View Community Church. It's a great congregation. After purchasing One Stop I joined the chamber of commerce and I also joined the BNE, which is a small local business owners group where I've met some great people and am developing some good friends. I was recently asked to run for the board of directors for the chamber and I think it would be an honor to serve our community in a higher capacity. I’m a believer in giving back. Hopefully I can get your support. I'll take this position wholeheartedly. Thank You.

Writers have until Oct. 21 to register for Authors Day BY CHARLES LEMENAGER Plans are being finalized for the sixth annual Authors Day at the Ramona Library on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ten local authors whose works cover a range of subjects will participate. Vincent P. O’Hara, prize-winning historian who writes about world naval warfare, will be the featured speaker. Participating authors who will display and sell their books, chat with the public, sign books and network with fellow writers include: Timothy Daniels, novels about crime, action, suspense and law enforcement; Annette Williams, non-fiction biography/memoirs; Wes Brustad, biblical historical trilogy Lions of Babylon; Charles LeMenager, San Diego backcountry history, flying, and genealogy; Kenneth McGrath, historical mystery; Jane Constantineau, acton memoir; Richard Carrico, wine making and its history in San Diego County; Jeffrey Crimmel, murder mystery; Spencer McBride, American religious history; and Rick Stepp-Bolling, science fiction. O’Hara will also participate in a forum and workshop for writers at 2 p.m. His expertise with archives and research promises to be interesting and helpful for fact-finding writers. Workshop presenters will also include Beth Edwards of Edwards Graphics, and Rose Marie Scott-Blair, veteran editor of books, magazines and newspapers. Authors who would like to take part in the event are welcome to submit an application before Oct. 21. Participation in the five previous events has been strong and attracted a full house of authors.
