BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON An essay written by the first student killed in the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado laid the groundwork for a chain reaction of kindness called Rachel’s Challenge. Ramona Unified School District trustees learned of Rachel Joy Scott’s story from Fred Lynch, regional presenter for Rachel’s Challenge, during their board meeting last Thursday. About six weeks after Rachel’s funeral, her parents found the essay while clearing out her room, Lynch
said. In it she wrote, “I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way and show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction … People will never know how far a little kindness will go.” “To her readers she was saying that she believed that the works of kindness can truly change the world and it can start what she called a chain reaction,” said Lynch. The two shooters, also Columbine students, did SEE RACHEL’S CHALLENGE, A26

BY KAREN BRAINARD Three groups plan to have a joint meeting Nov. 2 on updates to the Ramona Village Center Form-Based Code and could be voting on changes that would then be presented to the county Planning Commission for consideration. Rob Lewallen, chair of the Ramona Village Design Group and of the Ramona Design Review Board, requested a joint meeting with the Ramona Community Planning Group during its Nov. 2 meeting that will start at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Library Community Room. Planning group chair Dan Scherer confirmed it will be on the agenda. The planning group meeting is open to the public and a form is provided for public speakers to fill out so they can address the planners on a topic. The form-based code, adopted by county supervisors in July 2014, covers the town center from Etcheverry Street to Third Street, and about two blocks on both sides of Main Street. The most controversial proposal is to include the 20-acre Elliott Pond property, bordered by Ramona, H, and 16th streets, into the form-based code area to give the residentially-zoned land mixed-use zoning for retail. Property owner Jim Hagey, who requested the inclusion so he could build a town square around the pond and retail that could include a big box store, asked for a one-month postponement on a decision, saying he was considering modifications. Lewallen told the Sentinel that he does not want to postpone the vote on the code update as group members and interested citizens might not be able to attend upcoming meetings due to the holidays. The village design group was scheduled to meet on Oct. 25 and possibly vote on changes. Ramona Design Review Board meets Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane, and also will address changes to the document. Among other items proposed for the form-based code update: signage changes, side street mixed use density, requirement of 50 percent minimum commercial for mixed-use zoning, a site plan review exemption for additions of 120 square feet or less, and various text changes. To see the draft changes, visit bit.ly/2uBGZLZ. While the county does not notice neighbors of a project site about local meetings, the Board of Supervisors policy states that notices of Planning Commission and Board meetings will be mailed to property owners within 300 feet of a project site, or if there are not at least 20 different property owners within 300 feet, then to the nearest 20 property owners within one-half mile of the site.

Ramonans stayed alert as the thermometer hit a record-breaking 101 with 5 percent humidity on Monday in the middle of a red flag warning scheduled to end at 6 p.m. Oct. 25. Forecasters predicted higher temperatures Tuesday and Santa Ana wind gusts of 60 mph. Ramona Fire Department, Cal Fire, U.S. Forest Service and San Diego Fire-Rescue beefed up their firefighting levels to prepare for the possibility of rapidly-spreading wildfires. Air and ground crews responded to two brush fires that started Saturday, one in Campo and one north of El Capitan Reservoir near Lakeside. A plane crash that killed two people caused the El Capitan fire, visible from Barona Mesa and San Diego Country Estates in Ramona. It grew to 20 acres.
The EXTRA EA 300 plane left Gillespie Field about 3:50 p.m. and reports from the Lakeside area of a plane crash came about 4:15 p.m., said officials, who identified the victims as Peter Gillcrist, a Sky Combat Ace pilot, and Garret Engler. The Church fire in Campo started near state Route 94 and Church Road adjacent to the Campo Indian Reservation and south of the Golden Acorn Casino, reported Cal Fire. The fire charred 100 acres and was fully contained by Monday. Among other fires in the region were a small brush fire in Vista on Oct. 22 and two fires Monday: one in Ranchita that Cal Fire said engulfed a structure and spread over about three acres of brush near Skyway Drive and Montezuma Valley Road and a
small brush fire along state Route 94 in San Diego’s Golden Hill neighborhood. Officials said the cause of the fires and the plane crash are under investigation. Monday’s temperature of 101 in Ramona broke a record of 97 degrees set in 2003, the National Weather Service said. The high in the region was El Cajon’s 104, which also set a record Monday, as did Vista’s high of 100 and Alpine’s high of 99. The red flag warning took effect Sunday, a day after the 10th anniversary of the Witch and Harris wildfires that destroyed 1,300 homes and killed seven people. Wednesday, Oct. 25, marked the 14th anniversary of the Cedar fire that killed 15 people and destroyed at least 2,230 structures.

Sheriff seeks Senior Volunteer Patrol recruits Residents interested in joining the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Senior Volunteer Patrol may contact Bill Hicks, senior volunteer administrator at the sheriffs Ramona station. Hicks is recruiting new members for the patrol, which assists the community and the sheriff’s department with everything from phoning and visiting homebound seniors who live alone to traffic control in emergencies and at civic events.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Welcome change from Cedar fire But 14-year-old concern remains BY DAVID BAKER plane crashed in the canyon at the upper end of El Capitan Reservoir late Saturday afternoon. It is a favorite area for small aircraft to do stall training. I didn't see or hear the crash occur, just the smoke of the brush fire. And fire survivors are very alert to smoke. On the phone at 4:15ish with 911, they told me a plane had crashed and the fire department was aware of it. Twenty minutes later the bombers were dropping red retardant, and fairly quickly the fire, which had been climbing the hills east of the lake, was knocked down. From my hilltop I observed that right around the time the spotter plane showed up there were a couple sets of red lights (fire response vehicles) out on the distant mesa roads heading to Four Corners and El Cap truck trail. Access to Barona Mesa is through the San Diego Country Estates by way of San Vicente to Ramona Oaks to Abajo to Pappas, and up Rainbird to the dirt roads which lead eventually to Four Corners. At dusk, after watching the planes suppressing the fire for an hour, I proceeded off the Mesa and ran into several sets of Cal Fire/Forest Service vehicles. What I presume were ground personnel transports (the mop-up crew?). This overwhelming response was a welcome change from what I experienced at the onset of Cedar fire. Thanks, guys. However (and isn't there always a however), two items. First, the driver of the lead vehicle in the Cal Fire convoy had to ask me for directions to Four Corners? I am always happy to help, but, really? In this age of GPS, sat phones, sat maps, drones, and, oh yeah, radios? Do they not have a 4G (or better) Internet access to accurately determine where they are and where they need to get to? Second, the voluminous size of these vehicles and the number of them, combined with the SDGE vehicles preparing to shut off electricity, the looky-loo traffic, and a few of us leaving the Mesa, created a traffic nightmare. Thank God, the fire was not on the top of the Mesa (as it has been on previous fires), we'd all have burned. During the aftermath of Cedar fire, Dianne Jacob assured us that there would be a corrective action taken to address the fact that there is only one road providing access to and from the Barona Mesa neighborhood. Fourteen years later (with more houses built), the inability of this access road to handle congestion was highlighted again Saturday night. There were groups of Cal Fire vehicles “staging” in the middle of the road. (meaning: six to eight vehicles were stopped in a group in the middle of a road which barely supports two pickup trucks passing each other.) Imagine if an evacuation was in progress! If you look at a map, you'll see Painted Rock Road from the Mesa to Wildcat Canyon Road, but we can't use it. It is impassable except for ATVs and, besides, the Barona Band of Mission Indians doesn't allow access across their land to Wildcat. The other road which might logically connect up is San Vicente. This would be direct line up onto Barona Mesa without all the twists and turns winding through the SDCE neighborhood. So, here we sit, waiting for the next fire event large enough that it engulfs our entire neighborhood, with people unable to evacuate with their families and horse trailers and boats and multiple vehicles, because nobody in the “planning” departments have rectified a 14-year-old concern. David Baker is a Ramona resident.

OUR READERS WRITE Grateful recipient of Helping Hands It really warmed my heart to read about all of the churches who have come together to do good things for our fellow Ramonans and our community. I was the grateful recipient of one of those good acts today. Our church, First Congregational Church, acted through its “Helping Hands” ministry to build a ramp in our sunken family room. I am dealing with a progressive neurological disease and this will not only make it safer to walk down to that area now, but is a great help when I will be using my scooter more in our house. I am so grateful to Hal Mortier, Ed Wylie and George Mussen for taking time on this beautiful day to enrich my life. Thank you also to Carole Wylie, who used her architectural skills to design the ramp. In light of all the horrible things going on in our country, how lucky we are to live in such a loving and caring town! Jeanne Cannon Ramona
Who’s militaristic? In Dave Patterson’s caustic critique of the September Ramona TEA’d Forum, he concluded “the meeting was wholly militaristic with God providing the cover for placing liberals and Muslims in the cross-hairs of their rhetoric.” Perhaps I attended a different Ramona Tea’d Forum. It was my experience that: We exposed, in a video, Antifa’s violent tactics to shut down free speech — and we were accused of being militaristic? We prayed for God’s intervention against the assault on the Bill of Rights, especially the First and Second Amendments that form the basis for our unique form of government — and we were militaristic? We expressed concern that our country was in a Civil War of Ideas, as evidenced by the daily assaults on our Founding, our Founding Fathers, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, our Right to Bear Arms, Free Enterprise and Capitalism — and we were militaristic? We had a speaker from California Screaming Eagles, a new organization that evolved from Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum, a pro-family, pro-life group that supports our country’s
founding principles —and we were militaristic? We hosted a speaker on the successful lawsuit against San Diego Unified School District and its collusion with the Council on American & Islamic Relation, an unindicted, co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Trial — and we were militaristic? We presented a speaker who “blew the whistle” on the Obama Administration’s destruction of intelligence files on terrorist cells within the U.S. — and we were militaristic? You want things militaristic? How about Antifa, Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street? Then of course there is the far left Indivisibles. Its performance at Congressman Duncan Hunter’s Town Hall in Ramona earlier this year was ugly and uncivilized. Now that was militaristic. Jim Fontana, 30-year Navy veteran Chairman of Ramona Tea’d
Wonderful people live and work here I would like to thank the employees at the 99 Cent Store for finding and keeping my purse safe when I accidentally left it in a shopping cart in the parking lot. If anyone has ever had a purse stolen, or lost a wallet, they know how traumatic it is to have to cancel everything and start over again with driver’s license, credit cards, and worry about identity theft. I also want to thank the mysterious person who paid for my breakfast and my guest’s breakfast at the Ramona Café. We will certainly pay it forward. Ramona has some wonderful people who live and work here. Christina West Ramona

Reasons to oppose Hagey zone change BY DAVID GLASSFORD or the last three years, I have been doing my best not to be chicken little and also to keep the community abreast of the politics and problems associated with the county possibly adding the Hagey properties (Elliott Pond LLC) to the Ramona Village Form Based Code (RVFBC). These are the properties with pond, including the house, behind Stater Brothers and extending south to H Street. With an access flag lot that goes up to 16th street, this is about 20 acres that currently only have legal access from the driveway on 16th street. (Yellow area on page 10) The end is near and we have very few opportunities left to be heard. This is not necessarily a good thing for the residents within 1,000 yards of this property, specifically of 16th Street, H Street, Ramona Street and Hanson Lane near the Elliott Pond (Hagey properties). Nov. 2 is the Ramona Community Planning Group’s scheduled monthly meeting at the library at 7 p.m. On the agenda for this meeting is a vote regarding adding this property to the RVFBC. This is a super important meeting if you oppose this zoning change, as the Ramona planning group will vote to include or exclude these properties from their recommendation to the county regarding RVFBC changes and additions. Your attendance is requested and your voices are needed if we are to stop this.
F
Contrary to what many think or have been told, allowing this property to be included in the RVFBC: • The proposed additions and zoning change will protrude from the Ramona Village Form Based Code as it exists today — doesn’t make sense. • Changes zoning for these properties from Residential 4.3 to Multi Use Commercial on all 20 acres (7 parcels) • This will substantially increase traffic on Main at CVS, Ramona Street, Hanson Lane, 16th Street and H Street. • Zoning change allows for anything commercial to be built at any density — box-type retail, another strip mall, businesses, high-density low-income housing or a large low-income apartments complex. • Will substantially lower property values if a box store or low-income housing is put in for at least ¾ mile in all directions. • If a big box or medium box store goes in — increase crime in the immediate area (~1000 yards. ~ ¾ mile). • If a box store like Target or Walmart is put in, it will decrease response times of our sheriff’s department unless the county adds three more persons per day to respond to the increased crime directly related to the box store. (source: a San Diego County Sheriff) • Note: The Ramona planning group can only make recommendations to the county planning commission, and that the county

planning commission and board of supervisors can override the wishes of this group and the community. So we may have more work needed if we stop this at the local level. Based on recent county level expenditures of time and our tax dollars, it appears that someone in the county is going to profit and is driving this from within. The county planning group seems hell bent on pushing this through this time. The county (through increased business taxes) realtors, developers and the investors in the Elliott Pond LLC with Jim Hagey all are going to make a bunch of money off the sale of this property once the zoning gets changed. Remember these important facts. This is politics and the games they play. 1. In the first round (2014), had the county not postponed the votes due to the San Marcos fires, this would have been pushed through without any of us knowing about the zoning changes, as there is, or was verbiage in the Ramona Village Form Based Code that allows for ratification and changes without notification of residents and property owners. Many of us did not know of the zoning changes taking place to all of the properties in the red box of the now existing RVFBC. 2. Jim Hagey has publicly stated: “I have to sell the remaining 14 acres along H street to a commercial developer in order to build my Town Square on the six acres around the pond.”
SALE! $
3. When asked if they (Elliott Pond LLC) were planning to bring a box store to town, we were flatly told “Yes.” When we said big box, their reply was “medium box.” 5. Jim Hagey has never developed anything through his Elliott Pond LLC and may never build his Town Square. Once he gets the zoning changes he may cash out completely. It is unclear if he has ever been part of any successful developments that were good for the existing communities or residents surrounding them. 7. Last time (2014) the County Planning Commission was to vote before sending it to the county supervisors, we had 90+ residents who were opposed. At that time the commission was against based on the residents’ responses. County Planning Commissioner Bryan Woods pushed for these properties to be included at that time. When the rest of the board said no, he insisted that motion on the floor state these properties be given the ability to be revisited at the next review and update of the RVFBC. This is that next update. I suspect Woods to have strong influence in this new push by the county. I also suspect other reasons, as he stated he has had personal dealings with Jim Hagey in the past when he was part of a Ramona board. 8. In this round the county manager for this project has made it clear that they will do everything to not notify some affected SEE GLASSFORD, A10

No big box store in Ramona Most of us live here for the same reason — to get away from the hustle of a bigger town than Ramona is. Here are three things to consider: 1. Letting in a big box store will increase the number of people who would consider moving to Ramona because they will have the convenience of a big box store “'up the hill,” right here at home. Isn't traffic on Main Street already bad enough? 2. In theory, the current building that houses Kmart could easily fit another big box store (maybe of smaller size), so if Kmart ever goes under (Kmart is currently reducing the amount of stores in their chain, the Ramona location is not one of them: businessinsider.com/43-more-sears-andkmart-stores-are-closing-2017-7) Ramona would have TWO stores of that kind — just like that! Has anyone thought of this? 3. While the convenience and large stock
of a place like Sprouts is great, please remember that our Ramona Family Naturals store would definitely suffer from that kind of competition. And while their (RFM) prices are pretty close, the owner of the smaller independent store on Sixth Street is able to pay his employees and himself a living wage. Small towns are defined by small business. Eva Vorce Ramona
Community sing-along, a new tradition Come one, come all. That's a cheery statement we don't hear often enough in the present climate of political and social divisiveness. But here in Ramona, we value family and community spirit with inclusive community events like our rodeo, country fair, and wonderful 4th of July festivities. And this Saturday night, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m., another event has been added to this list for your participation and enjoyment. When I was a kid growing up in Newhall, a small town like Ramona, everyone looked forward the annual Sing-along. That's exactly what our Ramona Community Singers are initiating at the Charles R. Nunn Performing Arts Center at Olive Peirce Middle School. The theme of the evening is "Ramona Meets Broadway" with everyone present encouraged to sing along. Bring the whole family to this evening of lighthearted community camaraderie and merriment to usher in the holiday season on a positive (musical) note. And as they say, “the best things in life are free” — that's

Bias by omission I can’t believe it. Ramona Tea’d got trolled by Dave Patterson. In typical online troll fashion, he sat through over an hour’s worth of the meeting without finding anything positive to say. For all the time he spent describing mankind’s evolving powers of observations, I must say that he seemed to have checked his at the door. Or perhaps Steven Crowder’s, not chowder, promotional poster is true. Steven is a comedian, but the poster seen by Dave for about 20 seconds had a profound effect on him. Those interested in the real content of Crowder's video can see it is on YouTube, titled “Undercover in Antifa: their tactics and media support exposed!” Crowder and his crew went undercover to expose Antifa for what they are — thugs. It also shows how corrupt the mainstream media is and how they use bias by omission to ignore parts of stories that do not fit their liberal agenda. Ramona Tea’d has posted a link to the video on both their Facebook page and website. Dave used bias by omission to write his report on his findings at the Ramona Tea’d meeting. Conservatives are used to being the targets of the media and dishonest liberals’ use of bias by omission. Bias by omission is incredibly dishonest and despicable. What is left after bias by omission is nothing less than propaganda. Oh, and the featured speaker was Philip Haney, the Homeland Security
whistleblower, a former DHS agent and author of the book “See Something, Say Nothing.” Philip assembled intel on terrorist groups outside the U.S. after 911. The 0bama administration closed his operation down and erased his data, data which he says could possibly have been used to prevent the Fort Hood shootings and others. I encourage all those who read Dave's letter to take him up on his challenge and come to a Ramona Tea’d meeting Oct. 28. It’s on another scary subject — taxes. Use your own powers of observation and come to your own independent conclusions. Steve Yanke Ramona
Successful fundraiser The membership of the Backcountry Horsemen of California—San Diego Unit would like to publicly thank Tractor Supply and especially the manager for hosting our semiannual Tack, Barn and Whatever Sale in their parking lot on Sept. 23 and Oct. 7. The staff were very welcoming and helpful in our fundraising efforts. We were able to raise funds to support our mission of public land advocacy, education and service on our local multi-use trails. We would also like to thank the other vendors who joined us in the parking lot to add to the event and the wonderful people of Ramona who came and found a unique array of items to purchase for their needs at a significantly reduced cost. We plan to do this event again in the spring in the same location. See you then. Terry Jorgensen Public Lands Chair San Diego Unit

FROM GLASSFORD, A6 residents. Realistically county notification should be out to no less than 1,000 feet from the affected properties for a change of this size. That notification will be (quoting emails from Timothy Vertino, county land use planner for the RVFBC): • “Board of Supervisor’s policy for noticing land use projects. The policy states that noticing for Planning Commission and Board of Supervisor’s meetings shall occur as follows: ‘In all cases, mailed notice shall be provided to all property owners within 300 feet of the project site, or if there are not at least 20 different property owners within 300 feet, to the nearest 20 different property owners within one-half mile of the project site. If 20 different property owners cannot be found within one-half mile, the notice area shall be expanded until 20 property owners are available for notification.’” • For community planning group meetings the policy states: “Notice of all group meetings shall be placed in a community newspaper at least five days prior to the meeting, if available. In addition, a final agenda shall
GUEST COMMENTARY
Different perspectives serve as yardstick
be posted 72 hours before the meeting is held outside of the established meeting location in a public place that is open to the public 24 hours a day.” 9. Note that the above notifications are only to property owners, not residents. The effects of this will go much farther than ¾ mile from the site; 300 feet is 100 yards. I have repeatedly asked that they notify out to 1,000 yards or just short of ¾ mile and they are standing on the above as they do not want that large of a community base to come out and oppose this. Bottom line, now is time for all of us to act and be heard.
Please plan to at the Nov. 2 meeting of the Ramona planning group at the Ramona Library at 7 p.m. If you wish to speak you MUST fill out a speakers form before the planning group will hear you. These forms are at the back of the room. If you have any questions or need more information, send me an email or give me a call at 219-775-6024. Tell your neighbors to send their contact info to ramonasmartplan@ comcast.net to be added to the email list. David E. Glassford is a Ramona resident living on H Street.
BY DAN SUMMERS Last month Ramona resident Dave Patterson attended our Ramona Tea'd town hall meeting, and submitted his observations of that event. As a member of Ramona Tea'd, I also attended that event, but could not relate any of Mr. Patterson's observations to what actually took place. Our monthly programs begin with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. One guest speaker represents an organization created to elect more Republicans to state offices. That organization is called the California Screaming Eagles and devolved from an organization called the Eagle Forum. Mr. Patterson insinuated that the name "Screaming Eagles" referred to the 101st Airborne and concluded that it is a militaristic organization, which it is not. He also criticized our concerns, and indeed most of America's concerns, over Islamic terrorism. Over the years, we have hosted multiple nationally known authorities on Islamic terrorism. Ramona Tea'd does not shrink from challenging issues, and we are not politically correct. There are thousands of Americans in New York City, Florida and Riverside who would agree. Our keynote speaker last month was Philip Haney, who was a high-ranking investigator for the Department of Homeland Security. As such he had 57 files on known Islamic terrorists residing legally in the United States. His story
begins when those 57 files were inexplicably deleted by the Obama administration. At that point, Mr. Haney's career was essentially over, and he began to write his book, "See Something, Say Nothing: a Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad." Apparently, Mr. Patterson has a mindset discounting the radical Islamic threat to the United States, Europe, and the world. We don't. Ramona Tea'd is in its eighth year. We started in 2009 sounding the alarm against socialized medicine, as represented by Obamacare, which has proven to be the dismal failure we anticipated. I guess we were right. Over the years we have hosted more than 60 town hall meetings, with the purpose of educating the electorate on the issues of the day. As an example, on Oct. 28 we will host Tom Del Beccaro, former chairman of the California Republican Party and a U.S. Senate candidate, to outline in detail President Trump's common sense tax reform plan. At this point I want to thank Dave Patterson for inviting all of you to attend. We have always considered letters from his perspective as a yardstick for how well we are succeeding. Please, Mr. Patterson, keep those letters coming, and we look forward to seeing you on the 28th. Dan Summers, a Ramona resident, is a Ramona Tea’d member.

Trails group continues push for access to public lands 2017 docent-led tours on Old Survey 97 to end Nov. 18 BY KAREN BRAINARD Only a few more weeks remain for hikers and equestrians to visit a normally closed-to-the-public historic trail, but the Ramona Trails Association (RTA) is not giving up on more access to Old Survey Road 97. It's a battle that has been going on for years due to the involvement of a federal agency. "I'm tired of talking about it. I just want it to open," RTA president Glen Morgan said about the historic road in the northwest section of the Ramona Grasslands. This fall docent-led hikes and rides have been offered on Saturdays on Old Survey 97. Participants must sign up by calling park rangers at 760-788-3326 or the county parks reservation desk at 877-565-3600. The six-mile trip is from 9 a.m. to noon, starting at 1800 Rangeland Road. Remaining dates for equestrian tours are Oct. 28 and Nov. 11; hiking tours Nov. 4 and 18. This is the third year for the docent-led tours, conducted in the months outside of golden eagle breeding season. Morgan and RTA would like to see the trail open for the public on other days and without docents. “I share the community’s frustration that access to the trail remains so limited and I will continue
to ask state and federal officials to open it up to the public,” county Supervisor Dianne Jacob stated in an email to theSentinel. “This historic trail is a community treasure and I’ve always been a big believer in making our beautiful backcountry as accessible as possible.” Jacob hosted an Oct. 4 meeting attended by Morgan, other RTA board members and Michael Harrison, Congressman Duncan Hunter's chief of staff, about opening more public land. "Congressman Hunter has always advocated for increased public access," said Harrison, a Ramona resident. Old Survey Road 97 is a former stagecoach route, the trail traversed by General Stephen Kearney and Kit Carson in December 1846 on their way from Ramona to the battle of San Pasqual, and the first dedicated county road. The majority of Old Survey 97 lies within the 3,500-acre Ramona Grasslands Preserve that was created by the county, starting in 2003, through the purchase of former ranchland. U.S. Fish & Wildlife (USFWS) stepped in when a golden eagle nest was discovered on a cliff in the Bandy Canyon area, about a quarter mile from the historic trail. That led to a three-year raptor foraging study that the county conducted for Fish & Wildlife. The study, which concluded August
Look out for the
2016, found 13 raptor species foraging in the preserve including bald and golden eagles. According to county staff, the study reported that the golden eagle nest was observed occupied on March 22, 2016. Harrison said that at the “11th hour” Fish & Wildlife brought in a resident expert who put together a report in May with what was considered photographic evidence that the nest is in use. The report shows photos of a pair of golden eagles on a rock and a golden eagle tending to a chick in the nest and dates both as April 26, 2017. Harrison said the accuracy of those photos are in question and Hunter's office has sent a letter to USFWS saying there must be confidence in the evidence presented. Morgan said he doesn't believe the nest has been active since 2007. Harrison said the first reaction by federal agencies when there is an environmental issue is to close off public access to the land. "These are public lands that you and I should have access to," he said. Old Survey 97 isn't the only county-owned land held up by USFWS due to habitat. Plans to open a staging area for the grasslands on Montecito Way were stalled about 2-1/2 years ago when the wildlife agency said there were endangered Stephens’ kangaroo rats at the site. County staff said they are continuing to work with the federal and state wildlife agencies on the issue.
Ramona Tea’d to host Del Beccaro talk Former U.S. Senate candidate Tom Del Beccaro will be the guest speaker at the Ramona Tea’d Forum in Ramona Mainstage on Saturday, Oct. 28. The title of his talk will be President Trump’s Common Sense Tax Relief Plan. Admission is free and the public is welcome. Del Beccaro, publisher of Politicalvanguard.com, is a talk radio and television commentator, political analyst and former chairman of the California Republican Party. Over the past six years he has made 125 radio appearances in six states and in the past 12 years he has made at least 1,000 speeches and panel appearances in California and beyond where his opinions are heard by millions. Political analyst Mona Charen said of Del Beccaro’s book, “The New Conservative Paradigm,” “Not since Newt Gingrich in the ’90s has a Republican activist so clearly analyzed what has gone right and wrong for the party and the conservative movement.” Del Beccaro’s most recent book is “The Divided Era.” Ramona Mainstage is at 626 Main St. Doors will open at 11 a.m. and the program will begin at noon. Those attending are asked to bring nonperishable food donations for distribution by the Ramona Food & Clothes Closet. For more information, see www.ramonatead.com

Water operations draws Joe Lomeli out of retirement BY KAREN BRAINARD After a 1-1/2-year retirement, Joe Lomeli felt compelled to dip back into the water industry when a convenient opportunity arose. "I really wasn't looking to go back to work, but over the years I always said it would be nice to work in the town that you live in," said Lomeli, Ramona Municipal Water District’s (RMWD) water operations manager. It was in July 2015 when he saw that RMWD was looking for someone to head up its water operations, a spot that opened after Johnny Brean retired. Lomeli didn’t apply then but when he saw the job opening again in October, he thought, “let’s give it a shot.” RMWD hired him in November 2015. "That's when I came out of retirement," said Lomeli, adding he is happy he did so. Lomeli has been in the water industry since 1989, and over the years experienced some lengthy commutes to his job. He and his family moved to Ramona from San Marcos in 1994, seeing it as "just a good place to raise my family." Lomeli and his wife, Rosalea, have been married for 32 years and have three sons: Chris, Nick and Josh, who all graduated from Ramona High School. For 15 years Lomeli worked at the Vallecitos Water District in San Marcos. “My experience is varied from the water industry from what we call surface water to ground water and also recharged water,” he noted. In 2004 he was hired as operations manager at
KAREN BRAINARD
Ramona resident Joe Lomeli is water operations manager for the Ramona Municipal Water District. the Murrieta County Water District, a small district that was 6.5 square miles. “After two years of being there, since it was so small, they got absorbed by Western Municipal Water District,” said Lomeli. He stayed with Western, which then became a bigger district that covered up to a 510-mile area. Lomeli said they also delivered water to several other agencies including City of Corona, Lake Elsinore and Norco. For eight years he commuted from Ramona to
Riverside County, about 1-1/2 hours each way. He and his wife moved there for about three years but came back to Ramona when their son Josh and his wife, Randi, had a baby — the Lomelis’ first grandchild. That’s when Joe Lomeli decided it was time to leave Western and return to Ramona. During his 1-1/2 years of retirement, Lomeli said he and his wife enjoyed traveling in Arizona and California and staying at campgrounds in their RV. "When I got a taste of retirement that was very
nice,” he said. Lomeli said his work at the Ramona water district is not much different from his other jobs. He considers RMWD a mid-size agency like Vallecitos. "Truthfully they're all the same. The only difference is size and customer base. We all follow the same regulations. We all have to meet the same standards,” he said. Lomeli said that when accepting the job at RMWD he was a bit concerned how staff would react to someone from the outside and to change. That was not a problem, he said, as he found staff to be very open-minded and ready for adjustments. Staff has been excellent, he said. He oversees 22 employees, four of whom are supervisors of four different departments. Current work includes deferred maintenance — priorities in the district’s master facilities plans. Among upcoming projects is replacing some of the 1928 cast iron pipe on A and C streets. The water district, he said, is always looking to make things better. In his free time Lomeli enjoys golfing. "I've been trying to play for a long time,” he laughed. The 53-year-old said he took up the game when he moved here in 1994, but just played on and off over the years. He also used to build classic cars. Lomeli and his wife now have two grandchildren as their 2-1/2-year-old grandson has a 6-month-old sister. Ramona is a great place for them to grow up, just as it was for their sons, he said.

Castbergs celebrate golden wedding anniversary Ramona residents Eileen and Dave Castberg will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on the Queen Mary this weekend. The Castbergs were married Oct. 27, 1967, in Lutheran Church of the Master in West Los Angeles. They met on what Eileen describes as a warm summer evening in 1961 at a Luther League party. “It took almost a year to really get to dating,” she said. “I was still in high school and worked at J.J. Newberry’s at Pico and Westwood Boulevard in West Los Angeles. He was at Santa Monica College and worked. We didn’t have much leisure time for dating – usually Saturday
night after work at 9.” After asking her to marry him, Dave joined the U.S. Navy in 1965. His father had been a commander in the Navy. She was 19 and he was 23. They married after his service in Vietnam. The Castbergs have two sons, Eric and Chris; two daughters-in-law, Dawn and Krista; and four grandsons, Blake, 22, Nolan, 15, Ethan, 9, and Aiden, 5. “Dave and I have had a fabulous life with Christ as our center,” said Eileen. “We have been richer, poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.”

Bulldogs continue winning streak, beat Longhorns Balanced offense, big plays lead to 49-17 win
DOUG SOOLEY
Quarterback and Ramona senior Casey Buggeln passes the ball, registering four completed passes in seven attempts during the Oct. 20 away game.
BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s football team scored four rushing touchdowns and three passing touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ 49-17 victory at Rancho Buena Vista. The Bulldogs held a 42-0 halftime lead in the non-league game, which improved Ramona’s overall record to 8-0. “The team played well. It was a good night,” said Ramona head coach Damon Baldwin. Sean McDonald had three of the rushing touchdowns. He carried the ball 12 times for a total of 198 yards. “He was phenomenal,” Baldwin said. Caleb Berman had Ramona’s other rushing touchdown. The Bulldogs accumulated 281 yards on 24 rushing plays. Starting quarterback Casey Buggeln and second-half quarterback Derek Diamond threw nine passes. Five of those were complete for a total of 174 yards with the shortest reception gaining 15 yards from scrimmage. “All of our passes were big play passes,” Baldwin said.

Junior Sean McDonald runs in one of three of his rushing touchdowns that contributed to Ramona’s 49-17 win Friday evening. attempts included three catches by Tristan Stacy, all of which resulted in touchdowns of at least 40 yards from scrimmage. Stacy also returned a kickoff 61 yards, although he was stopped before he could reach the end zone. “He’s played at first-team all-CIF level,” Baldwin said of Stacy. “He just had so many big plays for us at so many different positions.” CIF rules call for a running clock in the fourth quarter if a team leads by at least 35 points. Baldwin and Rancho Buena Vista head coach Joe Meyer agreed to use a modified version of the running clock, in which the clock was stopped
for incomplete passes, during the third period. That allowed the Rancho Buena Vista players additional time on the field while also providing Ramona’s substitutes with more plays. “We didn’t play our starters in the second half. We played everybody else who never gets to play that much,” Baldwin said. Ramona’s offense was on the field for nine plays in the second half. The Longhorns scored seven of their points in the third period and had a touchdown and a field goal in the fourth quarter. Baldwin considers being outscored in the SEE BULLDOGS, A17

-Sponsored Content-
Bulldogs place second in league BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona High’s varsity girls golf team settled for second place in the Valley League after it was edged out by San Pasqual for the league title. The girls were scheduled to play a first round California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) play-in match against Imperial High School on Tuesday, Oct. 24, at their home course, San Vicente Golf Resort. In CIF’s overall team ranking based on differential, Imperial is ranked 24th while Ramona is 30th. The Bulldogs’ league record was 4-2 with one loss against San Pasqual and one against Escondido. San Pasqual’s only loss in its 5-1 league record was against Ramona Sept. 12 when the Golden Eagles forfeited the match because they did not have enough girls playing for a team score. Ramona took second place among Valley League teams in the North County Conference tournament Oct. 17 at St. Mark Golf Course and Oct. 18 at Twin Oaks Golf Course with a total score of 1,060 among the top five players during the two 18-hole rounds. San Pasqual led the league with a 1,035 total team score. Individually, sophomore Hannah Anderson came in third among league players,

Senior Madalyn Dart placed sixth, shooting a 101 and a 98. In other golf news, Coach Michael Gainey announced that Wilson Golf donated a new set of golf clubs to each player on Ramona’s junior varsity girls team in collaboration with ClubsForeYouth. The Southern California PGA Foundation created
FROM BULLDOGS, A16 second half to be a product of two situations. One of those was that the Bulldogs were focusing on ball control when they had possession while the Longhorns needed a quick strike. “They just had those big plays,” Baldwin said. The other factor was that Baldwin was providing experience for his reserve players. “We had a lot of kids who hadn’t played a lot,” he said. Seven Ramona players have been out with injuries, so many of the reserves weren’t playing their normal positions. “In order to fill positions we had to put a lot of guys in positions they’d never even practiced in,” Baldwin said. Diamond’s two passes included a completion for 20 yards. He is also Ramona’s placekicker and was successful on all seven of his extra point attempts. The game indicated to Baldwin that special teams execution was an area of focus prior to Friday’s final road game of the regular season, which will be a Palomar League contest at Poway High School. “We’re hoping to get more distance on our kickoffs,” Baldwin said. Stacy returned one punt for 10 yards but gained a total of two yards on his other three punt returns and also had two fair catches. “We’re trying to do a better job on our punt return team in order to give Tristan opportunities,” Baldwin said.
ClubsForeYouth to provide local student athletes, specifically females, with the adequate resources needed to experience recreational opportunities at high schools throughout Southern California, according to the SCPGA website. “They are very excited and can’t wait to get on the course today,” Gainey said after the JV players received their new clubs Oct. 17.
The win over RBV gave Ramona an 8-0 record for the first time since Baldwin became the Bulldogs’ head coach in 2005. Baldwin’s 2008, 2009 and 2013 teams won their first seven games of the season before being defeated in the year’s eighth contest. The last Ramona varsity football team to win its first eight games of the season was the 2001 squad. The CIF San Diego Section was created in 1960, and previously San Diego County’s teams played in the CIF Southern Section. Three Ramona teams in the Southern Section era won their first eight games: the 1956 team was 8-0 during the regular season before losing a first-round playoff match to Brea Olinda, the 1958 Bulldogs won the Class A CIF Southern Section championship with an 11-0 regular-season and playoff record, and the 1959 Small School classification Southern Section champions had a 12-0 season. (The 1957 Bulldogs, who defeated Needles in the Small School semifinals but lost to Bishop in the championship game, only played six regular-season games and finished with a 7-1 record.) A win over Poway would thus give Ramona a 9-0 record to begin the season for the first time since the San Diego Section was formed. “We’re just trying to take it one at a time and make some history,” Baldwin said. Ramona holds a 4-0 record in Palomar League play. Poway will bring a 3-5 overall record and a 2-2 Palomar League mark into tomorrow’s contest.

Season’s second concert features harpists Los 3 Ortiz Alfredo Rolando Ortiz, internationally acclaimed Paraguayan harp soloist, will take center stage in the Charles R. Nunn Performing Arts Center on Nov. 4. Ortiz is one of Ramona Concert Association’s favorite musicians, and members of his family will accompany him, said Marlene Robershaw, association president. He is also a composer, author, educator and recording artist. Born in Cuba, Ortiz immigrated with his family to Venezuela when he was 11. After several years of studying the Venezuelan folk harp and the Paraguayan harp, he began medical school in Colombia, performed professionally on the harp and recorded his first album. After graduation he moved to the United States to continue musical studies. For eight years he worked in the medical field as well as a harpist and recording artist. With a multicultural repertoire that covers folk, classical and popular music from many countries as well as his original compositions, he has performed for audiences around the world. He has recorded many albums and is the winner of a Gold Record in South America. In 2008, at the Tenth World Harp Congress in Amsterdam, Ortiz’s commissioned music was performed by 232 harpists, the largest harp ensemble to date. He recently performed to a sold-out audience at the prestigious Festival Internacional Cervantino in Mexico, considered the most important arts festival of Latin America. Ortiz said he is excited to return to Ramona and has been preparing “music surprises” for this concert as Los 3 Ortiz. “Be sure to bring your family and friends to an unforgettable, fun and exciting music experience,” said Robershaw. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 7. The Nunn PAC is part of Olive Peirce Middle School at 1521 Hanson Lane. Adult admission at the door is $15 and $5 for children and students.

Girls place second at Mt. SAC BY DAN BROWN This season the Ramona High School girls cross country team has battled through injuries and struggled to compete at the same level as the team last season. After their showing at the 70th annual Mt. San Antonio College (SAC) Invitational on Friday, they may have proven that this team is stronger than last year’s. Gracie Knowd was not able to run and Jennifer Hull is not back to full strength from her injury and illness, yet the team still improved on last year’s performance. The top five girls from the 2016 team had an average time of 21:04 at this race. This year’s squad had an average time of 20:31. Four of Ramona’s top five runners posted improvements over their time last year. Amy Brown was Ramona’s top finisher, placing second overall out of 117 runners with a time of 18:43 over the hilly 3-mile course. Brown’s time was a 1:51 improvement over her time last year. Alexa Waples placed 15th overall, earning a medal and finishing with a time of 20:34, a 2:26 improvement from last year. Michael Meskell placed 20th with a time of 20:52, a 1:09 improvement from last year. Alyssa Davis placed 25th with a time of 21:08 and Madison Huckey was 32nd with a time of 21:19, a 2:18 improvement from last year. Jennifer Hull placed 75th with a time of 23:58.
BY JOE NAIMAN Saturday’s CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting will determine whether Ramona High School’s boys water polo team will have additional 2017 competition. The Oct. 16-21 San Diego Open tournament in which Ramona won three of five matches and Ramona’s Oct. 18 Valley League victory over Escondido gave the Bulldogs a 10-16 overall record with a 3-1 figure in league play entering the final week of the season. The week in which the Bulldogs won four of their six games followed an Oct. 12 league win on the road against Classical Academy, giving Ramona five wins in seven games. “They’ve been playing strong,” said Ramona coach Donnie Williams. Two of those victories were against teams that had defeated Ramona earlier in the season. The Bulldogs held multi-goal leads in both of their losses. Ramona traveled to the Steele Canyon High School pool for an Oct. 16 San Diego Open match against Patrick Henry. The Patriots overcame Ramona’s 6-3 halftime lead to win in overtime. “It was disappointing,” Williams said. The score was 3-3 after one period, and Ramona scored all three second-quarter goals. Ramona’s lead was 7-5 entering the fourth
quarter, but the Patriots scored the first two goals of the final regulation period. “They made shots and we missed some great opportunities,” Williams said. Patrick Henry scored once again in the fourth quarter for an 8-7 advantage, but Dawson Webster’s goal with 1:49 left in regulation created an 8-8 tie. The Bulldogs had a power play in the final minute, although a shot was blocked. Webster stole the ball with six seconds in regulation, providing enough time for a shot, but the ball hit the crossbar. Overtime in the San Diego Open was sudden-death rather than the mandatory overtime periods used for non-tournament competition. Patrick Henry won the overtime sprint. Ramona goalkeeper Josh Ferry blocked the initial shot, but the Patriots then stole the ball and placed a shot into the net for a 9-8 victory. Escondido plays its home matches at the Washington Park pool. The Oct. 18 game included Ramona leads of 3-2 after one quarter and 5-4 at halftime. A Ramona goal early in the third period created a 6-4 lead. “We started to pull away from them,” Williams said. “Our defense was doing a good job of shutting them down.” Ramona had an 8-5 lead after three quarters.

amona Chamber of Commerce members and guests got a jump start on Halloween as many dressed in Roaring ‘20s costumes for the Prohibition Networking Mixer hosted by Ramona Disposal Service. The two-hour event Friday evening featured food and desserts from local restaurants, beer and Ramona Valley wines. Congressman Duncan Hunter surprised Ramona Disposal representatives with a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition in appreciation of the business’ “consistent and generous support of the Ramona Chamber of Commerce and for representing the gold standard in promoting business growth
and exemplifying community service.” Toward the end of the mixer, chamber Vice President Paul Zawilenski announced winners in the chamber’s election — incumbents Sally Westbrook, Bob Murray, Cindy Galloway and Carol Fowler, and newcomer Susan McCormick. Each will serve a three-year term on the chamber board starting in January. The recent resignation of Connie Phillips from the board left an opening that will be filled by Heather McGhee, who will complete the last year of Phillips’ term. The chamber’s next mixer will be at Barona Resort & Casino in Lakeside from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 16. —Maureen Robertson

FROM RACHEL’S CHALLENGE, A1 a documentary six weeks before the shooting and used the same term, but their goal was to start a chain reaction of anarchy, chaos and pain, said Lynch. The shooters killed themselves after murdering 12 students and one teacher and injuring 21 others in what Lynch said was the worst high school shooting in the country. “I’m glad to say that Rachel’s idea of a chain Jason Lane reaction of kindness has spread a lot further,” he said. “In fact, in the last 18 years over 25 million people have heard Rachel’s story, and her story’s traveled all the way around the world.” Since the beginning of the school year, Lynch has presented Rachel’s Challenge to Ramona’s middle and high school students, most recently at Ramona High, where students lined up Oct. 18 to commit to accept Rachel’s Challenge to: Leslie ■ Look for the best in others; Wilson ■ Dream big; ■ Choose positive influences; ■ Speak with kindness; and ■ Start your own chain reaction. Theresa Grace, assistant superintendent of education services, said the district believes wholeheartedly in the program’s mission statement of “making schools safer, more connected places where bullying and violence are replaced with kindness and respect; and where learning and teaching are awakened to their fullest.” After Lynch’s presentation at Ramona High, 150 students and 15 adults received training for the “Friends of Rachel” club at the school, noted Mona Snodgrass, Bulldog Connect’s afterschool coordinator. Cori McDonald, the school librarian, invited the trustees to visit the library, where “we have the chain hanging and it went two loops around in the center of the library.” She called Lynch’s presentation an amazing experience for the students and teachers that led to “really, really amazing conversations.” “Hopefully we continue to see that chain moving forward,” she said. Lynch shared a conversation he had with one Ramona student whose suicide attempt failed and the student didn’t know why. “But after hearing today’s presentation, I’m more encouraged than ever to continue to live my life, because I realize I have a purpose in life,” Lynch said the student told him. A goal of Rachel’s Challenge is to bring out the best within students, said Lynch. “We know that students can learn much better when they

FROM WATER POLO, A21 The final score was 11-6. Ramona’s team statistics against Escondido included nine shot blocks. “I think that’s exactly why we were more successful against Escondido,” Williams said. Escondido took a 15-6 overall season record into the game against Ramona. The Cougars have 11 seniors on their roster. Ramona has two. San Diego Open play resumed Oct. 20. Ramona’s games were in the West Hills High School pool. The first of those was a 9-4 triumph against San Marcos. The Bulldogs and Knights had faced each other in the RB Invite tournament on Aug. 26 , when San Marcos won, 11-8. “This game we came out strong. The kids wanted to play. They wanted to redeem themselves,” Williams said. Ramona scored all three of the first period’s goals and held a 6-2 halftime lead. The Bulldogs had a 9-3 cushion after three quarters. San Marcos scored the game’s final goal with 1:30 remaining.

Also during the meeting: • Trustees and others welcomed Ramona resident Jason Lane as the district’s new manager of facilities/maintenance and operations, effective Nov. 1. He replaces Ed Anderson, whose retirement takes effect Jan. 1, 2018. Anderson worked for the returning from injury, placing 70th with a time of 17:49. Shawn McClure placed 77th with a time of 18:04. Other finishers from Ramona were Sebastian Pazos and Kyle Beals. On Thursday, Ramona will compete in the second of its three league cluster meets to determine league standings.
“We shut their best player down until the last minute and a half of the game,” Williams said. Shutting down Bonita’s top scorer in the second Oct. 20 game was a second-half accomplishment for the Bulldogs, as he scored six goals in the first half and only two in the final two quarters. He was responsible for two of the Barons’ first-quarter goals to give Bonita Vista a 3-1 lead at one point and a 3-2 advantage when the buzzer sounded to end the period. Ramona tied the score at 4-4 during the second period, although subsequent Bonita Vista goals gave the Barons a 7-6 halftime advantage. Williams’ halftime speech was on guarding Bonita Vista’s most potent weapon and forcing other Bonita Vista players to take shots. “We started doing that and we were a little bit better,” he said. Ramona scored five of the six third-period goals to take a 12-8 lead. Bonita Vista scored the fourth quarter’s initial goal. A Ramona goal with 3:59 remaining created a 13-9 score. The Barons scored with 2:13, 1:47, and 0:53 left in the quarter, but Ramona’s defense held

district for 24 years, the past 15 as manager. He has been on administrative leave since mid-May. As manager, Lane will join the district’s administrative leadership team. The district hired Lane as a maintenance employee in June 2016. He will receive $79,188 for a work year of 261 days and will manage 41 employees. He previously worked in the pump, well and electrical systems industry. “I want to welcome Jason Lane and congratulate you on the new role of supervisor of maintenance and operations and let you know that we’re very excited to have you fill this leadership position,” Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., said. “We look forward to good things.” Staffieri described Lane as an employee with a strong work ethic who leads by example. • Trustees approved Ramona resident Leslie Wilson, teacher on assignment with Education Services the past four years, as district coordinator of curriculum and technology, effective Nov. 1. Wilson, a Ramona High School graduate, previously taught 11 years at Mt. Woodson Elementary School. She, too, will join the district’s administrative leadership team. Her annual salary will be $104,502. “Ed Services is excited that Leslie Wilson is moving into the position of coordinator of curriculum and technology,” Grace said in a statement to district employees. “Leslie has shown outstanding leadership in both of these areas as a teacher on assignment … We are excited to have Leslie in a new position of leadership which focuses on moving our district even further into 21st century teaching and learning.” Wilson’s promotion leaves a vacancy in Grace’s department.
off further damage for a 13-12 Bulldogs victory. West Hills was also the site of Ramona’s two Oct. 21 games. The first of those was a 10-8 loss to Mar Vista. “That was pretty disappointing,” Williams said. Ramona had a 4-2 lead after the first quarter, but the Mariners held a 7-6 halftime lead. Mar Vista scored first in the third period. Ramona narrowed the deficit to 8-7, but the Bulldogs were never able to even the score during the second half. Mar Vista held a 10-7 lead before Jeffrey Ramsthaler scored with 42 seconds left. “Our players were not doing a good job of drive defense,” Williams said. The afternoon match against Eastlake was also a rematch of an Aug. 26 RB Invite game. The Titans prevailed by a 12-5 margin in the season-opening tournament. Ramsthaler scored the first period’s only goal, although Eastlake scored both second-quarter goals for a 2-1 halftime lead. Webster’s five-meter penalty shot in the third period tied the score, an Eastlake goal gave the Titans a 3-2 advantage, and Ramsthaler’s
successful shot tied the game at three goals apiece and concluded third-quarter scoring. “In the fourth quarter we just came out and played,” Williams said. Webster scored on a rebound to put the Bulldogs ahead. Matt Damm and Webster then scored for a 6-3 Ramona cushion. An Eastlake goal with eight seconds left finalized the score at 6-4. “That was a good redemption for us,” Williams said. Ramona won one of five games in the RB Invite and two of five contests in September’s Thrills in the Hills tournament hosted by Chino Hills High School, so the San Diego Open was the only tournament of 2017 in which the Bulldogs had a winning record. “I think the whole team had a great tournament,” Williams said. A tournament winning record will also be possible if the Bulldogs are selected for the CIF playoff tournament and if Ramona reaches at least the semifinals. “This whole Division II is very close,” Williams said. “Anybody can beat anybody else.”
