Panel supports limiting dispensaries BY KAREN BRAINARD San Diego County Planning Commission unanimously supported several amendments to the Medical Marijuana Collective Facilities Ordinance that were endorsed by the Ramona Community Planning Group (RCPG) to protect the town from
becoming a dispensary hub. "Essentially what we asked for, got supported," said Ramona planning group member Jim Cooper after the commissioners' Nov. 4 hearing at the County Operations Center. That included four points presented by Ramona's two dispensary owners
and endorsed by the planning group at its Nov. 3 meeting, just 13 hours before the Planning Commission convened. Planning group chair Jim Piva explained to commissioners that the dispensary owners' recommendations were being submitted as an addendum to the
RCPG's Sept. 1 motion of proposed ordinance amendments. Piva said the group reached out to the dispensary owners and "worked out ways to minimize the negative impacts to our community through some compromises." SEE POT, A2
Support program helps students with new math standards BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON New state standards coupled with new textbooks and a new approach to math presents a challenge for teachers and students, one that Ramona High School recognizes and is meeting, said Principal Rowena Mak, Ed.D. Part of Ramona High’s adjustment to the new standards resulted in a switch from Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2 to Integrated Math 1, 2 and 3 classes that blend algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics and analysis at different levels as students progress from 1 to 3. The result is more rigorous instruction and problem solving, and some students need help. At Ramona High, one response is the Math Interventions program, Mak told Ramona Unified School District trustees. Ramona High math teachers Ciara Swier and Kylee Heath — both Ramona High graduates — joined Mak in presenting the Math Interventions program to trustees. Each covered different aspects of the three-tiered program that is new this year. “We are not satisfied with the current state of the student performance in the area of math, but we are also very dedicated professionals, so we will continue to explore and be committed to finding targeted and timely interventions for students,” she said. The new standards require more than just changes in SEE MATH, A22

FROM POT, A1 The dispensary owners' recommendations in a memorandum of understanding were: • Limit the number of medical marijuana dispensaries to four per supervisorial district. • Limit the number of dispensaries to two in any one community. • Raise the minimum age to purchase medical marijuana in the county from 18, as allowed by state law, to 21. • No additional changes in the ordinance be allowed that could lead to more dispensaries. All four of those points were among the amendments in Commissioner Bryan Woods' motion. Woods, a former Ramona resident who represents the community in District 2, also proposed the following amendments: • Restrict dispensary hours to 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (current ordinance allows 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) • Require security cameras and security guards for all locations. • Impose fines for violations of the ordinance and accelerated fines for repeat violations. • Require a minor use permit. Although a major use permit requirement was proposed by county staff and endorsed by Ramona planners, Woods said the cost of such a permit — up to $200,000 — is onerous. He instead suggested the less costly minor use permit, which would still allow for public input before a dispensary is sited. Woods' motion came after nearly five hours of deliberation by commissioners and comments from about 21 speakers, several from Lakeside voicing concerns that their community would become a hub. Woods said he was following the lead of the Ramona planning group with some of its

Ramona Community Planning Group chair Jim Piva leaves the podium with his notes after addressing the county Planning Commission about proposed amendments to the medical marijuana collectives ordinance. recommendations, "which I think are very well thought out and limit the number of storefronts per district." The vote was 6-0 with commissioner Douglas Barnhart absent. The proposed amendments will require approval by the county Board of Supervisors. The county's current zoning regulations allow 18 to 23 collectives to be sited in the unincorporated county, according to Joe Farace, project manager with Planning and Development Services. Ramona was poised to have four dispensaries as indicated by the number of applicants, and could have six as zoning currently allows. With winding roads leading in and out of Ramona and fears of pot use increasing among youths, the planning group took its concerns to the Board of Supervisors early this year. That led the board in March to enact a 45-day moratorium on medical marijuana collective facilities, then extending it to March 16, 2017, and directing staff to come up with options to amend the ordinance. One dispensary, ShowGrow at 736
Montecito Way, was already licensed and operating in Ramona before the moratorium. The owners of two others, 1210 Olive St. and 618 Pine St., who already had approved building permits, were determined to have vested rights to proceed. However, Dino Berardino, owner of 618 Pine St., voluntarily offered to forgo a dispensary at that site and instead focus on one he plans to open in Lakeside. The two in Ramona, Berardino’s in Lakeside, and Outliers in unincorporated El Cajon would amount to four for District 2. Woods said he believed there would be a maximum of eight in the county if the proposed amendments are adopted. Before making his motion, Woods, along with other commissioners, questioned what impact Proposition 64, legalizing recreational marijuana, would have if approved by voters Nov. 8. County staff said the amendments have no bearing on Prop. 64, and the county's ordinance has a provision that essentially bans recreational use of pot.
Pleased with commissioners' decision, Cooper said afterward, "The outcome proves the forward thinking of the RCPG." Piva called it a win-win for the whole county. "It's not going to be concentrated in one area of the county," Piva said. "We came to the Planning Commission with a solution." The planning group's Nov. 3 vote to endorse the dispensary owners' addendum was approved 10-2 with David Ross and Donna Myers opposed. Members Eb Hogervorst, Barbara Jensen and Rick Terrazas were absent.

Planners to ask county for accountability of PLDO funds
3-Day Donation Breast cancer survivor Janet Mandala, a beautician at Ramona Beauty Supply & Salon, sits in a chair Montecito High School construction class students made and donated to the Ramona Beauties team to help the team raise money for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day 60-mile walk Nov. 18-20. Proceeds from the walk will benefit breast cancer research and education. This is the 12th year the Ramona Beauties will participate in the 3-Day walk from Del Mar to downtown San Diego. Team members are Teresa Hanvey, Vikki Dancan and Dani Norman, all of Ramona Beauty Supply & Salon.

to charge the administrative fee, leaving less money for park projects. The scoreboard and soccer field expansion projects were added to the PLDO list in 2013, and have been held up because of questions surrounding permitting, environmental studies and engineering. Scherer said the scoreboards have passed the engineering stage, noting the footings for the scoreboards will be six inches in diameter, and the project is almost ready to break ground. Last December the county Board of Supervisors approved releasing $145,000 from Ramona’s approximately $800,000 PLDO account to pay for design costs of the scoreboards and soccer fields. According to Scherer, PLDO funds have not yet been paid to the Barnett School Playground Project that was completed in June. Scherer said the county has not been clear about the amount of funds available and the subcommittee has asked the department for monthly statements. He made a motion to send a letter to the county asking for accountability of funds. “We’ve asked them numerous times,” he said. The motion was unanimously approved. Planners also approved the updated PLDO list to submit to the county. The parks and rec subcommittee will discuss PLDO projects when it meets at 6:15 p.m. Nov. 14 in the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane.

BY KAREN BRAINARD No new projects are being solicited for Park Lands Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) funds until the county reveals how much is in Ramona’s fund account, said the committee chair overseeing the park project list. At the Ramona Community Planning Group’s Nov. 3 meeting, Dan Scherer, chair of the group’s Parks and Recreation Subcommittee, reported that the county requested the annual updated PLDO Project Priority List. Scherer suggested they only submit the projects that have not yet been completed. That amounts to four of the five projects on the 2015-16 list: • Girls Softball LED Scoreboards, approved for up to $128,000. • Ramona Soccer League Field Expansion, approved for up to $275,000. • Wellfield Park Elm Street Project with disc golf and horseshoe pits, approved for up to $190,000. • Skate Park, approved for up to $90,000. PLDO funds accumulate from a fee paid by developers of residential projects. The money is to be used for active recreation park projects in the same community as the development. The county’s Parks and Recreation Department charges an administrative fee to oversee the PLDO fund account. Planning group chair Jim Piva has complained that the county drags project approval while continuing

OPINION
www.ramonasentinel.com
EDITORIAL
No losers on local ballot When this week’s Ramona Sentinel went to press on Tuesday, citizens were still voting, so results of the election are not in this issue. We are posting local results on the Sentinel’s Facebook page and online as information is available. As most eyes focused on the race for president, ours were on the results of the Ramona school board, planning group and water board elections. Each local candidate on the ballot deserves accolades. It’s easy to comment on decisions elected officials make – or don’t make – after the fact. But, as in one of Theodore Roosevelt’s most-often repeated quotes, “the credit belongs to the man (or woman) who is actually in the arena.” Each name on the Ramona ballot represented a person willing to be “in the arena,” so from our perspective each is a winner. THUMBS UP to the Ramona High sports program. Two teams will host major games this week — girls volleyball on Thursday and football on Friday. Girls volleyball players led their team to the Valley League championship and will face Canyon Crest in a state tournament seeding game. The Bulldog football team, the youngest team in the Palomar League, won four of its final five league games to finish third in league and will host Vista in Friday’s CIF playoff game. The community sends both teams a hearty, “Go, Bulldogs!” THUMBS UP to the Bulldog football team. Friday’s game falls on the Veterans Day holiday and there will be no school. The players, coaches and cheer squads hope to pack the stadium for the game. Before the game, the players plan a tribute to Ramona’s veterans. That alone is worth the price of admission. THUMBS UP to the sheriff’s Ramona Senior Volunteer Patrol. The volunteers likely saved an elderly person’s life last week. When a You Are Not Alone (YANA) participant did not answer a telephone call from a YANA volunteer, Senior Volunteer Patrol members went to the man’s home, heard his dog barking and then heard a shallow voice telling them to come in. They found the elderly man on the floor, unable to get up. They called for paramedics, who cared for the man and took him to a hospital. They then let the man’s emergency contact know where he was. As one frequently aired radio ad says, “How do you not go home and talk about that?” THUMBS UP to Ramona Community Planning Group members for not sitting still and waiting for the county to act once they realized the potential existed for six medical marijuana dispensaries in town. County planning commissioners accepted their recommendations for two dispensaries, and county supervisors are expected to act on those recommendations. SEE BALLOT, A5
OUR READERS WRITE Memorable day Just two weeks ago we celebrated "God's Work, Our Hands" Sunday. We gathered together in song and were commissioned to go out into our community and serve. Those ministry tasks included: Children group art and letters to go with donations to first responders; Project of weeding, clean-up and shed repair at Ramona Elementary; Work at Ramona Pregnancy Clinic with painting, dry wall repair and caulking; Planting and general clean-up at Busy Bee Daycare; Quilt Tying at the church; Trimming, weed abatement, carpentry
work and general clean-up at the Cornerstone Therapeutic Riding Center; Trash pick-up from our current location to the church property; Clean-up, pruning and trimming trees at the Ramona Senior Center; Baking goods for first responders and delivery; and financial donations. Over 150 individuals shared in this day. We worked and rejoiced in God using us on a Sunday morning to live out the call to be a servant. Thank you to all who made this such a memorable day in the life of Spirit of Joy. Pastor Dan Erlenbusch Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church

ackcountry boost: My colleagues on the Board of Supervisors recently joined me in approving plans for a new fire station in Pine Valley. The two-story, 14,000-square-foot facility will replace the existing station and include expanded engine bays and sleeping quarters. Construction is expected to start around the middle of next year. Since the deadly and massive Cedar Fire in 2003, the county has invested about $350 million in fire and emergency preparedness improvements across our region. The improvements include new
stations and engines, a better trained firefighting force and expanded paramedic services. Keeping our roads safe: Sacramento clamped down further on drunk driving with the recent passage of state Senate Bill 1046. It requires all convicted drunk drivers to have an ignition lock on their cars, including first-time offenders. The device detects alcohol. A driver must blow into it to start the car. Mothers Against Drunk Driving joined me earlier this year in calling for passage of the law. SEE DIANNE, A5

The award recognizes innovative programs that promote excellence in education and demonstrate leadership. Quinn accomplished both with her Eco Leaders model food recovery program that has garnered state and national attention. CSBA will honor Quinn at its conference in San Francisco in December. THUMBS UP to Olive Peirce Middle School teacher Catherine Phillips for being one of only 18 middle and high school educators selected to participate in Understanding Sacrifice, a prestigious program that involves workshops in Arlington, Va., studying World War II in the Pacific, and travel to San Francisco, Hawaii and Manila. After traveling to historical sites, they will develop lesson plans that teachers around the world can use, and they will present the lesson plans at the National Council for Social Studies Conference.

at home. We’re glad they didn’t. They sent a positive message to their children about the value of education — without saying a word. THUMBS DOWN to those who suggest that Ramona school district’s inability to fill every teaching slot with a credentialed teacher is because of low pay. A statewide teacher shortage exists, likely the result of fewer college students enrolling in education programs during the Great Recession, when teachers were being laid off or receiving incentives to retire. Yes, Ramona teachers’ starting salaries are in the bottom 20 percent of the 36 districts reporting in the county. The current salary range for Ramona teachers is $41,153 for a first-year teacher with a bachelor’s degree to $93,050 for a 30-year teacher with a doctorate. In addition, the district pays 85 percent of health benefits, something not all districts do. For a family, that is another nearly $15,000 or more, depending on the health plan. It is less, of course, for a teacher who is single or married with no children. THUMBS UP to Ramona Teachers Association for deciding not to declare impasse in current negotiations with the district but to instead schedule the next negotiation session for Nov. 10, two days after the election that will determine whether a tax on higher-income people in the state will continue. We encourage both sides to be reasonable in their negotiations of salaries and benefits, and to also consider student and school facility needs. Realizing it is a challenge and a fiscal balancing act, we don’t envy their task.

YANA volunteers respond to emergency Among the variety of functions the Ramona Sheriff’s Senior Volunteer Patrol performs is the You Are Not Alone (YANA) program, a service that provides elderly people living alone a daily telephone call and, if the YANA participant wishes, a weekly visit by patrol volunteers. During a morning phone call last week, a Yana participant who likes to be called before 9 a.m. did not answer his phone after repeated calls, said a Senior Volunteer Patrol report. The YANA caller notified senior volunteers on patrol and asked them to check on the elderly man. Patrol members who arrived at the man’s home reported that his dog was barking frantically. When they knocked on the door, they said they heard a shallow voice telling them to come in. They found the man on the floor, unable
to get up. They notified sheriff’s dispatch to send paramedics, who administered oxygen and intravenous therapy and transported the man to a hospital. The volunteers then contacted the person on the man’s emergency contact list with the sheriff’s department to tell that person what had happened. “Many elderly persons in Ramona live alone,” noted YANA’s report of the incident. “Sometimes there is no one locally who can regularly check on their well-being. These individuals are at risk for a potentially life-threatening event. The situation described shows how the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department senior volunteers can help.” For more information or to enroll in the YANA program, call Gerrie Griffin at 760-738-2466.

MR. MARKETING BY ROB WEINBERG
The 2032 campaign just started
E
ven as we gratefully watch the 2016 campaign fade in our rear-view mirror, rumblings have started for the 2032 presidential race. Yes, I said 2032! Last night’s dinner at a restaurant found me chatting with Christian, the cashier. I’ve known him for years as my daughter’s classmate. Now 21, he looks at the world around him and says “We can do better!” Yet unlike so many people both his age and mine, he’s getting involved now to improve things later. I shared with Christian how I’d once envisioned myself in the U.S. Senate and the tale of a college friend who spent a full evening mapping out a 20-year strategy to accomplish my goal. His plan included where I was to live, whom I should meet, and where to raise money. And though I later decided against running for elected office, the planning concept wasn’t lost on me. Like Christian, you too should be organizing your thinking for meeting long-term objectives. Knowing where you want to be in 15 years is fine, but the difference between wishes and reality is having in place a plan — and then implementing that plan.
As we find ourselves staring down the throat of another year, the smartest business owners are rebuilding their strategic and marketing plans. They’re organizing their thinking, finances, operations, and marketing with an eye toward the coming three years. Those who will be the most successful are planning for both the short-term (12 months) and the long-term (10 years out). Over three decades I’ve encountered every imaginable reason to not plan for success, including lack of time and an unwillingness to be tied down. Invariably these excuses are said by people who later whine about loss of sales and careen from one crisis to the next. Here’s the thing: if you take the next six weeks to examine who you are as a business and why you do whatever you do, you’re guaranteed to go a long way toward actually implementing your dream. Then, regardless of whether you change your mind along the way, you’ll at least have a place to begin the conversation. Finally, for those who are unhappy about this election’s results, go talk with Christian. He’ll give you hope for the future. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Vote for better marketing at www.askmrmarketing.com.

Family business adds new team member Amber Ramirez Insurance Agency — Farmers Insurance, a family-owned business since 1971 and located at the same location on the corner of Sixth and Main streets, recently added a new team member. Originally Ramirez’s stepfather, Harold Cullen, owned the agency. In 1978 he died and her mother, Karen Cullen, took over the business. As children, Ramirez and her siblings all

In 2004, Ramirez officially joined Farmers Insurance and became partners with her mother, and in 2008, her mother retired and Ramirez took over the business.

Dawgs finish league play with 42-14 win over Nighthawks Host Vista in playoff game Friday; pre-game ceremony to honor veterans BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's football team closed out the regular season with a 42-14 victory at Del Norte Nov. 4, giving the Bulldogs a 5-5 regular-season record and a 3-3 Palomar League mark worth third place in the seven-team standings. "It was a great team win on the road to close out the Palomar League season and lock down third place," said Ramona head coach Damon Baldwin. "We finished third with the youngest team in the Palomar League." The Nov. 4 league games also included Rancho Bernardo's 35-14 win at Poway to give the Titans their only loss of the regular season and kept the Broncos undefeated. Rancho Bernardo finished with a 6-0 league record, Poway had a 5-1 figure, and 2-4 records gave shares of fourth place to Westview, Mt. Carmel and Vista. Del Norte concluded Palomar League play with a 1-5 record. Vista will face Ramona once again Friday night in the first round of the CIF Division I playoffs. Ramona received the fifth seed in the Division I post-season and the Panthers were seeded 12th. Vista's Sept. 24 game at Ramona was a 28-20 Panthers victory, although injuries and temporary transfer ineligibility deprived the Bulldogs of key players. "We feel like we're a different football team," Baldwin said. "Our kids are very excited for what we call

the rematch game." The game will begin at 7 p.m. The CIF controls ticket prices for playoff games, so CIF passes will be the only passes accepted. Admission will be $10 for adults and $5 for students ages 5 through 18 or seniors at least 60 years old. Because the game will be played on Veterans Day, the Bulldogs will have a pregame ceremony honoring veterans. The winner of Friday's game will travel to San Marcos High School for the Nov. 18 quarterfinal. "We're just excited to host the first round. That was our goal," Baldwin said. Ramona's 2016 team included 13 seniors and only four starters from the 2015 squad, so improving every week was also a key goal for the Bulldogs' coaching staff.
said. The victory over Del Norte, which resulted in a .500 league record and a .500 regular-season mark, began with Ramona scoring all 21 points in the first quarter. A fourth-quarter touchdown gave Ramona a 42-7 lead, which triggered a running clock for the rest of the period. Ramona quarterback Casey Buggeln completed 10 of 16 passes including a 60-yard touchdown strike to Hunter Gurrola, and Buggeln added a rushing touchdown. "He had his best night at quarterback," Baldwin said. Tristan Stacy ran for two other touchdowns. Eder Landgrave and Dawson Castro had a rushing touchdown apiece. Gurrola added 6 points on conversion kicks.
"We've had so much fun coaching these kids," Baldwin said. "It was just such an enjoyable season." Baldwin noted that the continuation of the 2016 season should be thought of as a phase following pre-league games and league competition. "We call it the third season," Baldwin said of the playoffs. The attempt to prepare Ramona for league and post-season competition includes scheduling as high a level of competition as possible. Ramona's two pre-league losses were to St. Augustine, who finished the regular season with an 8-2 record, and to Point Loma. The loss to Point Loma was by a 27-21 margin. "We feel like we were a play or two away from being 7 and 3," Baldwin
"The offense has really come around," Baldwin said. The ball carriers have been complemented by the Bulldogs' offensive linemen. Wyatt Stevens is starting left tackle, Everson Wimer is left guard, Gabriel Stallman and Jacob McElwee play center, Travis Johnson is right guard, and Michael Thorson is right tackle. Tight ends Riley Armstrong and Jack Drews are eligible receivers but are used more for blocking than for catching passes. "Their pass protection was just stellar all year," Baldwin said. Stevens and Johnson are the only seniors among those eight linemen. "We have a really good JV line, so the line's going to be a good strength next year," Baldwin said. Ramona's junior varsity team finished with a 6-4 record.

Bulldogs to host Canyon Crest in state playoff seeding match
Ocampo 5th in JV championship race
Tough loss Friday to Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BY JOE NAIMAN Bishop's High School won the first two sets of the CIF Open Division girls volleyball playoff match at Ramona High School Nov. 4 and held a 17-7 lead over the Bulldogs in game three. Ramona came back to win the third game and also the fourth set before Bishop's parlayed an 11-2 lead in the fifth set into the victory, which gave the Knights the match. "We were disappointed in the loss
because it was not our best effort across the board, but I'm excited that the fan base and the opponent could see who we are," said Ramona coach Connie Halfaker. "We are capable. We fight. We are determined. It was shown in game three and also in game four." The loss will not finalize Ramona's season record at 28-7. The Open Division teams will have priority for the CIF state playoffs, and the Bulldogs will host Canyon Crest in a state playoff seeding SEE VOLLEYBALL, A16
BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona sophomore Carmen Ocampo finished fifth in the girls race with a time of 23:37 on the 3.0-mile course in the North County Conference junior varsity cross-country championship. As a team Ramona's girls finished fourth among the four Valley League teams at Kit Carson Park on Nov. 4. The Valley League teams had competed on the same Kit Carson Park course in an Oct. 28 league cluster meet. Leah Sawlsville had placed
second among all runners in the junior varsity race with a time of 22:50 while Ocampo was Ramona's second finisher and Kensey Sapper was the third Bulldog runner across the finish line. Sawlsville struggled with an asthma attack Nov. 4 and finished in 28:08 for 25th place overall and fifth among Ramona runners while Sapper, who was in second place overall at one time, had to drop out during the third mile. "That was a disappointment," said
Ramona head coach Sherri Edwards. The varsity runners had the week off but will return to action Saturday for the league championship meet at Guajome Park. Each school is allowed 12 runners at the league meet. Ocampo and Sawlsville will join Ramona's nine runners who competed in the Oct. 28 varsity race along with Marissa Talle, who missed that competition due to illness.

‘The Stinger’ wins series’ final race, earns Huseman Award Brandon “The Stinger” Arthur finished the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Pro Lite season with a convincing win in the final race at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Ariz. After qualifying second fastest, the inversion drawn was a 2, so it put Arthur, a 20-year-old Ramonan, on the pole for the final round. “I got a good start and battled with Jerett Brooks for the entire first lap,” said Arthur. “I got the edge on him and took the lead. We had a good battle but I held my position.” The Oct. 22 win for Arthur was his fourth for the season. He landed on the podium nine times in the season and also clinched the second podium spot in the season-long points standings. After the final in round 15, there was only the Challenge Cup race to run. “We qualified fourth for the Challenge Cup,” said Arthur. “Right off the start we got pushed back a couple spots. The track was a single fast line; there wasn't any passing. I got stuck back in fifth and just couldn't go anywhere. It wasn’t the race we were looking for, but the fans loved it.” At the awards ceremony Arthur was named the winner of the Huseman Award, a coveted award for racers. A fierce competitor and role model for many, Rick Huseman was a driver who raced his way from humble beginnings to the very top. He died in a small plane crash in 2011 at 38 years old. The Huseman Award is given to the driver who most exemplifies what Huseman personified: talent, skill and sportsmanship. Arthur, an accomplished driver on the track and in the desert, is also skilled in the shop. He built his Pro Lite truck in his family’s business, HRT Motorsports. He was invited to showcase his handiwork for Toyo Tires, and his Trophy Truck was

Lewis. Next up Ramona will compete against Hawthorne NJROTC from Hawthorne, Calif. Hawthorne NJROTC has a 1-4 record. Sponsored by the Orion Scoring System, the league is a national league for high school teams and junior rifle clubs. The Champions Division is the most difficult division in the league. The league has two parts. An eight-week round-robin regular season followed by a single-elimination tournament for the top eight teams who will compete for the league championship. 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 age
athletes. Each athlete shoots 10 shots in three different 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 comprised of the best four athletes from each team. The teams participate in the competition on their home range at their schools. The scores are then uploaded into the Orion scoring system to be compared with the other team’s score.

8 Simple Safety Tips for Online Shopping Online shopping has become so common with consumers that it’s easy to develop bad habits when it comes to protecting your personal information. With the holidays, and holiday shopping fast approaching, now is a good time for consumers to remind themselves how they can stay safe while shopping online.
Another way to keep your personal information protected is to make sure your devices are protected. There are several ways to maintain the most up-to-date protection on your computer or mobile device. 1. Lock your device with a password.
Whether making purchases on a mobile device or home computer, here are eight tips to keep your personal information protected this holiday season.
2. Be mindful of what you download.
1. Use a familiar website. Rather than click on an ad, start at your favorite retail outlet’s website.
3. Update when prompted.
2. Look for the icon of a green padlock in the URL address bar. It could also appear at the bottom of your browser. This signifies added security.
4. Delete apps that are no longer being used from mobile devices.
3. Never buy anything from a site that doesn’t have secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption. You’ll know if a website has it because it will start with ‘HTTPS://’ rather than just ‘HTTP://’. 4. No online shopping site should ever ask for your social security number or birthdate to do business. Provide as little information as possible to online retailers. 5. Check your accounts regularly, especially during the holidays. Don’t wait for your statement to identify fraudulent charges. If you see something wrong, call your bank or credit card company immediately. You may be protected against fraudulent charges. 6. Make sure your devices are up-to-date on their antivirus protection. 7. Be careful where you click. Avoid unknown pop-up ads or ads imbedded in unfamiliar websites. 8.

INNER BEAUTY
MAUREEN ROBERTSON
amona Woman's Club president Betty Shaw, left, with P.J. Terry of Riviera Wellness Spa at Riviera Oaks Resort & Racquet Club. Terry spoke of inner beauty during her presentation at the Nov. 3 meeting of the Woman's Club. For information about the club, its scholarship program and upcoming events, go to www.ramonawomansclub.com. FROM VOLLEYBALL, A8 match at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10. "We're excited to be heading into the state tournament," Halfaker said. Bishop's opened the Nov. 4 match with 25-19 and 25-14 victories. "Games one and two Bishop's played basically error-free and we made errors," Halfaker said. "Everything went their way." Ramona had some missed serves during the first game, but most of the errors were positioning errors rather than hitting errors. "It wasn't so much errors as that we were not responding quickly," Halfaker said. "We did not go in the right direction." For the entire five games, Katie Flinn led Ramona with seven digs, McKenna Marshall had six digs, and five digs apiece were recorded by Sierra Adkins, Natalie Seol and Sammy Shupe. Flinn is positioned on the left side of the back row, Marshall and Seol cover the middle of the back row, and Adkins and Shupe patrol the right side of the back row. "They hit the ball to all three areas of the court," Halfaker said of the Knights. "They were a diverse offense as far as where they put the ball." Seol led the Bulldogs with four blocks and Gracie Seits recorded two blocks. "They were very, very skilled at hitting the ball around the block and using the block," Halfaker said of Bishop's. Ramona turned the 17-7 Bishop's lead in
FROM OCAMPO, A8 included a time of 26:00 and 17th place for Corrine Ward, a 20th-place time of 27:03 for Heidi Lundgren, and a 27:15 for 22nd place for Emily Rios. Ramona's boys finished fourth as a team, ahead of Fallbrook, which matched the Bulldogs' position in the Oct. 28 junior varsity race. "The boys ran better. They still were in fourth place, but almost all of their times dropped significantly," Edwards said. Colin Duffy finished 13th with a time of 18:55, a decrease from the 19:31 he ran a week earlier. Daniel Chavez took 19th place
game three into a 24-20 deficit before staving off match point. "We made that all up and got close," Halfaker said. A team must win by at least 2 points, and the Bulldogs had the final 2 points of their 28-26 victory in the third game. The final score of the fourth set was 25-14 in Ramona's favor. "We were putting them on their heels," Halfaker said. Ramona's comeback from being down two games to none led to the deciding fifth set. "Everything bounced their way," Halfaker said. "We didn't respond quickly to the ball. We went down early." That accounted for the 11-2 Bishop's lead. "In a game to 15 you can't do that," Halfaker said. The Knights prevailed by a 15-6 score in the deciding set. Shupe had four serving aces and 100 percent of her serves were in bounds. Flinn and Seol each served for two aces with 100 percent of their serves in bounds. "We served well. That's how we got back in. We started really serving aggressively," Halfaker said. Seol led the Bulldogs with 14 kills, Marshall contributed 11 kills, Morgann Wilson had seven kills and only one hitting error in 14 attempts for a .429 hitting percentage, which led the team, and Seits added five kills. Shupe set for 35 assists during the match. with a time of 19:21, which was a reduction from his 20:01 performance Oct. 28. Andy Dunker had the 25th-place time of 19:46 after running the course in 20:32 the previous week. Emiliano Ramos was the 26th finisher 19:48 after the race began, and Kyle Beals finished in 20:28 for 36th place. Duffy, Chavez and Dunker will join the previous week's nine varsity runners at the league meet, which will give the Bulldogs a composition of two freshmen, seven sophomores, two juniors and one senior. "They're getting experience, and hopefully they'll all run PRs (personal records) on Saturday," Edwards said.

Any information obtained may be used for that purpose. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site - www. servicelinkASAP.com - for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 127548. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. A-4596017 11/03/2016, 11/10/2016, 11/17/2016. R3583. SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO 330 W.

Medicare News BY CATE KORTZEBORN
Get Free Help with Your Medicare
W
hen someone with Medicare finds his or her way to my office phone, it’s often because of a complicated and snarly issue that’s going to take time to fix. However, it’s sometimes a Medicare beneficiary who found my number somewhere and called for some basic help in understanding their coverage. I LOVE those calls because I have a quick and easy answer for folks like that. I refer them to the State Health Insurance Assistance Program, or SHIP. There’s a SHIP in every state in the country. I have phone numbers for the ones in my Medicare region written on a card right next to my phone, and I refer to it often. SHIPs are nonprofit organizations that help people with Medicare understand their benefits better. The counseling is personalized and it’s absolutely free. SHIPs aren’t connected to any insurance company or health plan, so they’re not trying to sell you any kind of product. If you’re eligible for Medicare, you’re eligible for assistance from your local SHIP. You can talk to a SHIP counselor over the phone, or go to your local SHIP office for face-to-face assistance. The quality of the counseling is terrific. Many SHIP counselors have Medicare themselves and they’re well-trained to answer your questions. They know all the ins and outs of the program, whether you have Original Medicare (where you choose the doctor or hospital you want and the government pays your providers directly) or Medicare Advantage (in which private insurers offer health care services through a specific network of doctors, hospitals and other providers). SHIPs also can help with Part D prescription drug insurance. And did I mention that SHIP counseling is free? Here are some of the issues that a SHIP counselor can help you with: • Billing problems; • Complaints about your medical care or treatment; • How to shop for a Medicare Advantage health plan or Part D prescription drug plan that meets your needs; • How to appeal if you disagree with coverage or payment decisions by Medicare or your Medicare plan; • How Medicare works with other insurance. How do you get in touch with SHIP? Here is the phone number for contacting the SHIP office in California: 800-434-0222. Of course, there are other ways besides SHIP to get information about Medicare. One excellent resource is the “Medicare & You” handbook, which is mailed to Medicare beneficiaries every fall. “Medicare & You” is a gold mine of easy-to-understand information about how Medicare works, how to enroll, what services are covered, and many other topics. The handbook also lists all Medicare Advantage and Part D plans available in your area, their costs and contact information for each one. You can find the latest edition of “Medicare & You” online at: www.medicare.gov/Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf Help is also available through the Medicare customer service center, at 1-800-633-4227. TTY users call 1-877-486-2048. The call center is open 24 hours a day, including weekends. Another helpful resource is the official Medicare website at www.Medicare.gov. The website has a variety of information about Medicare health and prescription drug plans in your area, including what they cost and what services they provide. Medicare also rates the plans based on its Five-Star Rating System. You can look for doctors or other health care providers and suppliers who participate in Medicare, and see what Medicare covers, including preventive care services like cancer screenings and vaccinations. At www.Medicare.gov, you also can: • Get Medicare appeals information and forms; • Get information about the quality of care provided by plans, nursing homes, hospitals, home health agencies, and dialysis facilities; • Look up helpful websites and phone numbers. Cate Kortzeborn is Medicare’s regional administrator for California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Pacific Territories. For more, call 1-800-633-4227.

RTA event attracts new members
R
amona Trails Association (RTA) held its first Equestrian Play Day at Holly Oaks Arena on Saturday, Oct. 8, offering events for all ages and signing up new members. “We had sun, we had some wind and dust storms, but above all, we had fun,” said Robin Campbell, RTA communications chair. The day featured a combined Costume and Simon Says class, a Lead Line Obstacle class, Mounted Obstacles, Pole Bending, a Champagne Trot class, Sugar Cube Race and a Bareback Dollar Bill ride, and a demonstration by the Drille Divas from San Diego Country Estates during lunchtime. RTA member Cheryl Wegner and guest Penny Housego judged events. “RTA welcomes all the new members who joined on Saturday and we encourage the community to join us in promoting and supporting our trails,” said Campbell.

FROM DUNKIN, A1 Bright said Dunkin’s blood/alcohol level was .14, which is nearly twice the legal limit. The judge noted Dunkin ran a red light shortly before his Chevrolet GMC pickup truck struck another car just south of Cloudy Moon Drive after 7 p.m. The other car spun around before the truck collided with the Mini-Cooper Riley was driving. The Mini-Cooper exploded and Riley died at the scene. His family noted that dental records were used because he was burned beyond recognition. Dunkin pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under
the influence of alcohol with injury to three others on Sept. 2. He has no prior record. Dunkin’s daughter, Nicole Dunkin, told the judge her father started drinking after his 26-year-old son committed suicide in January 2014. “My father is so incredibly remorseful,” she said. “He hates what he has done. I know he will never forgive himself.” “He turned to alcohol to cope with the pain. He was completely grief stricken,” said Dunkin’s attorney, Suesan Gerard. Riley’s parents told Dunkin they had forgiven him, and Gerard told them and the other speakers, “you show the best of humanity.”
FROM MATH, A1 curriculum and assessment, Mak said. “What are some of the things that the professionals in our school are going to need to change, modify or improve?” she asked. Teachers are participating in lesson studies where they observe each other teaching and then discuss “how the teaching and the changes in the teaching is affecting student learning,” she said. They also discuss how they are promoting self-regulated learners and preparing students “as we transition into this different type of learning that maybe they’re not accustomed to, but certainly a standard that we know that they can live up to and reach,” she added. The teachers are exploring how to balance direct instruction — “or that traditional approach” — and student-centered discussion and work, said Mak.
Equestrian Play Day entrants receive instructions for the obstacle course event.
“He blames no one else. He is wholly sorry,” said Gerard. “He is going to have to live with himself.” Halgren ordered Dunkin to pay $26,000 in restitution to the victim’s family and to three other injured motorists. Dunkin received credit for 76 days in jail and was fined $1,294. “He made the decision to drink and drive,” said Halgren. Robert Collins told the judge Dunkin struck his car, causing it to spin out of control. “We were amazed when we stopped spinning that we were still alive,” he said, adding that his family has developed anxiety while in a car. Shawna Wickwire, Riley’s fiancée and a PLNU graduate,
The inverted triangle in the PowerPoint presentation showed the three tiers of the intervention program designed to support students needing additional help. “It doesn’t mean that as we go down the tier that we are removing something,” said Mak. “On the contrary, what we are doing is adding more layers of support for students.” At Monday late-start meetings, math teachers review student data and work to “develop benchmark assessments that are the same so that it’s an equitable learning experience for all students, and it also provides an opportunity for us to really compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges,” she said. Also in tier 1, teachers review students’ homework and work covered in their math class during Extended Learning Time (ELT) with the students. After-school tutoring also is available. Students earning a D or F in the first grading period are in tier 2 and take an ELT

said she went from “the happiest time of her life” while engaged to “heartbreak beyond belief” when he was killed. She recalled the difficult phone call she made to his parents in Hawaii to inform them Riley was dead. “I lost the love of my life, my best friend,” said Wickwire. “There’s a permanent void…I hope this is an example of why we should not drink and drive.” Riley’s sister, Lauren Riley, said her brother’s death was “the greatest sorrow I have ever known.” His brother, Cory Riley, said “it has changed all of us.” PLNU Professor David Adey said “he was truly one of our best” and he hired Lucas Riley to work on a public art project for the County of San Diego in
math class. “We’re trying to fill gaps,” said Swier. “…Already doing it for the past four weeks, because this is our first year doing it, I’ve already seen improvement in my students, not only in ELT math but also in my classroom.” The students are more confident and vocal in class, she said. Tier 3 is a math support class for students in Math 1 or 2 who did not meet math standards last year or are recommended by their Individualized Education Program (IEP) team. “They’re the kids who really struggle,” said Heath “They have gaps. They’re performing at a level far below where they have been placed…Some of these kids are walking into Ramona High School as ninth-graders and they still can’t add, subtract, multiply, divide, and they’re not going to get enough of that in their regular class.” Discussing some of the successes she already has seen, Heath said, “they’re walking in with confidence. They’re getting lessons taught to them beforehand,” and they sometimes are the first students raising their hands, “where last year they didn’t raise their hands ever.” Math teachers have set a goal for this year, she added: To reduce the number of students earning a D or F in college preparation classes by 25 percent by providing immediate intervention and support. The D and F rate in Math 1 classes already is down 16 percent, and in Math 3 it’s down 19 percent, she said
Little Italy. “Mr. Dunkin, you took the life of our son,” said Tami Riley, his mother, who added that Lucas would have given him the last life jacket in a sinking boat. “I don’t have hatred in my heart. Hate takes you down the road to bitterness and hopelessness,” said Tami Riley. “We have forgiven you, Mr. Dunkin,” said Mark Riley, the victim’s father. “Let this be a turning point in your life, Mr. Dunkin...with an ability to start over.” Afterward, Mark Riley told reporters: “We hope and pray this man’s future is different from his past. We’re not out for vengeance. We’ve forgiven the man.”
“We are doing everything we can to help our students be successful in our math classes,” she said. Ramona math teachers are targeting students for support early in the semester, said Mak. “So already at the six-week grade period, we gathered all the data about our students, we identified what is the specific need that they need support in, help that they need, and we put them into those interventions according to the support that they may need,” she said. “Thank you for being part of the solution,” said trustee Bob Stoody. Not every student wants to go to college, he said, asking that the district not have just one pathway for all students. Heath agreed. Ramona High’s graduation requirement is that students take Math 1 and 2, but the goal is that every student take Math 1 through 3, she said. “We want every student from Ramona High School to graduate with those A through G graduation requirements so they have the opportunity or the option to attend a four-year university if it is something that they are looking to do,” she said. But, she added, the teachers need direction from the school board. “It needs to be decided what we want from our students. Do we want them to pass this test or do we want to prepare them for what’s next for that individual student,” she said. “We need to have that discussion,” Stoody agreed.
