PRE-GAME SALUTE TO OUR VETERANS
In a dramatic presentation under the Friday Night Lights before the Veterans Day CIF football game at Bulldog Stadium, students honor the community’s veterans. Ramona High cheerleaders and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps cadets spread the large U.S. flag for all to see as other cadets individually hold one of the country’s 50 state flags. Bulldog and Panther football players and coaches stand at attention during the ceremony as Ramona players flank veterans on the field, and other veterans and fans on both sides of the field salute or put their hands on their hearts. For other photos and Veterans Day information, see page 26.
Board amends manager’s contract on Election Day Public speakers question timing BY KAREN BRAINARD In action opposed by a few members of the public, the Ramona Municipal Water District board voted 4-1 on Nov. 8 to amend the general manager’s employment agreement, making it more difficult for directors to terminate his contract “without cause.” Instead of three affirmative votes, or a simple majority, to sever General Manager David Barnum’s employment contract without cause, four affirmative votes will be required by the five-member board. Three speakers protested taking such action, noting that it was Election Day and three seats were open on the board. “What concerns me is the perception,” said Jim Piva, who SEE BOARD, A16

Voters elect Drum, Perfect to school board Three newcomers to join planning group; Ace, Wadlington elected to water board
BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON With mail and provisional ballots still to be counted, unofficial election results show some new faces joining incumbents on Ramona’s public boards. Results of the Nov. 8 election will not be official until all votes are counted. The county Registrar of Voters must certify the election no later than Dec. 8. In the Ramona Unified School District, newcomer Daryn Drum, a firefighter with children attending district schools, received the most votes: 6,310, or 37.71 percent. Voters approved incumbent Dawn Perfect’s bid for a third four-year term with 5,658, or 33.82 percent.
With only two seats open on the five-member school board, incumbent John Rajcic lost his bid for re-election with 4,763 votes, or 28.47 percent. The 15-member Ramona Community Planning Group will see three newcomers — Christopher Holloway (10.7 percent, with 4,443 votes), Dan Summers (9.75 percent, 4,299) and Casey Robert Lynch (8.45 percent, 3,725). Voters returned five incumbents to the group — Richard S. Tomlinson (8.27 percent, 3,647), Jim Cooper (7.96 percent, 3,512), Donna F. Myers (7.54 percent, 3,326), Paul Stykel (6.92 percent, 3,054) and Torry Brean SEE SCHOOL, A2

ON THE AGENDA

Donna F. Myers
FROM SCHOOL, A1 (6.63 percent, 2,922). According to unofficial results Tuesday morning, Robin Joy Maxson, Rick Reiling, Jeffrey R. Leclair, Sally Westbook, Dwight Webster and Kevin F. Wallace did not receive enough votes for a seat on the 15-member group that serves as an advisory board to the county on planning and land use issues. Among the newcomers voters put on the planning group, Holloway, a Marine pilot with two deployments to Iraq, was the top vote-getter. He currently works in the aerospace industry and is in the Marine Corps Reserves. Summers is a retired businessman and Ramona firefighter/paramedic, and Lynch is a land surveyor who volunteers as PTSA president at Ramona Community Campus, board member for Intermountain Fire, and a youth soccer coach with the Ramona Boys and Girls Club. Voters in the two Ramona Municipal Water District divisions with open seats elected retired firefighters to represent them. In Division 3, incumbent Thomas N. Ace, a retired fire chief, received 1,179 votes, or 52.21 percent, defeating Jim Piva, who received 1,079 votes, or 47.79

percent. In Division 5, Bryan A. Wadlington was the top vote-getter with 803 votes (36.63 percent), defeating opponents Doug Kafka (704 votes, 32.12 percent) and Gary Hurst (685 votes, 31.25 percent). A ballot measure that would have raised the sales tax countywide by a half-cent to fund infrastructure improvements in the San Diego region gained the support of a majority of voters but fell short of the threshold necessary for passage. Measure A, developed by the San Diego Association of Governments, required a two-thirds “yes” vote to pass, but only garnered about 56.69 percent support. The regional agency estimated the tax would have raised $18 billion over 40 years to pay for a variety of projects. Voters in a previous election approved the agency’s bid for a 40-year half-cent sales tax that will expire in 2048. Measure B, a proposal to amend the county plan to allow 1,746 dwelling units on 608 acres north of Escondido and east of I-15, failed with 64 percent no votes to 35.91 percent yes votes. For up-to-date vote counts for all items on the San Diego County ballot, see www.sdvote.com.

Share-Your-Christmas Program underway Ramona Food & Clothes Closet’s Share-Your-Christmas, a program that assists low-income households during the holidays, is underway. In addition to supplying each eligible family with a large box of non-perishable holiday food items, the program benefits children ages 1 to 12 with a new unwrapped toy from Santa Claus and a small toy for their stocking. To qualify for the toy distribution, an adult family member must present a current picture identification card, proof of residency in Ramona, Julian, Santa Ysabel, Ranchita, Warner Springs or Borrego Springs, and documentation of all household income. Income includes employment, Social Security, disability, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), food allowance, unemployment compensation and child support. Once all criteria are met, an invitation to the event is issued. Applications for the program will be taken from Thursday, Dec. 1, until Saturday, Dec. 3, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and Dec. 1, 5 to 8 p.m. at the Ramona Food & Closet Service Office at 773 Main St. The Share-Your-Christmas Program toy distribution will be held on Friday, Dec. 16, at the Ramona Food & Clothes Closet Thrift Store from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parents will be given a time to pick up their toys on their program invitation. Parents are asked not to bring children to pick up their toys so Santa can help them choose the perfect gift for their children.
Hunter retains seat, meets with community members Reported to be on list of potential cabinet picks BY KAREN BRAINARD U.S. Representative Duncan D. Hunter, who has retained his seat representing the 50th Congressional District, held an informal roundtable discussion with some members of the community two weeks before the election, giving them an opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns. The Republican from Alpine, one of the first members of Congress to support Donald Trump as his party’s presidential nominee, is believed to be on the short list of potential cabinet members for President-elect Trump’s administration. Among those positions he is being considered for are secretary or deputy secretary of defense, and national security adviser, according to news sources. See article, page 14. The four-term congressman served in the Marine Corps, the Marine Corps Reserve and is a member of the House Armed Services Committee. During the Oct. 24 roundtable, Hunter and his deputy chief of staff, Michael Harrison, a Ramona resident, met with about 10 chamber members and business owners at Dunkin’ Donuts. The meeting occurred shortly after news broke that the Department of Defense was requiring thousands of California National Guard soldiers to repay re-enlistment bonuses provided

Among those attending are, from left: Kim Lasley, Ramona Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Joe Stupar, Amber Ramirez, Lauren Schulte and Steve Powell. through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to Hunter, an audit revealed that the bonuses were paid in either error or excess. However, he said, those who innocently took the payments in exchange for re-enlistment should not be burdened with repayment, but instead those who committed the fraud should be penalized. The congressman, who wrote a letter to Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter asking that the DOD stop going after the
innocent soldiers, told Ramonans, “They’ve already ruined hundreds of people’s lives doing this.” On Oct. 26, the Pentagon announced it would waive the bonus and loan repayments to most California National Guard members. Among other topics that Ramonans brought up during the discussion were legalization of marijuana, gun laws, development costs due to environmental regulations, and state water issues.

Trump’s dilemma
We need to let him know BY JANINE MONIOT he people I know who voted for Trump do not grope women or men, didn’t vote for him because he taunted people with disabilities, disagreed with his comments about soldiers who get caught, the wall and most of what was said about immigration, and on saying nothing was off the table for nuclear bomb button, but they did think that a change was needed for financial purposes. They also have a strong belief that Trump has changed on the issues above, or that he didn’t mean them in the first place. I don’t think that the people that voted for Trump want to encourage much of what concerns the people who did not vote for him. However, how does the rest of the population know that these are not the values of the majority of Trump supporters or of Trump — who will be guiding our future foreign and internal policy? It’s possible. Trump himself does not know what campaign rhetoric worked and how he should behave in the future to get re-elected. We’ve got to let him know. Imagine that only one word was changed in Trump’s misperception that people danced in the streets of America celebrating 9/11, and that word was Christian, and then he repeated it, and just dropped it without an apology. Does anyone think that would have impacted the election outcome and, if so — help the Muslims out here and set the record straight about this. We asked our soldiers to go defend the rights of Muslim people and told those soldiers we valued their freedom, that they had inherent human respect, and we must continue to respect the cause they have died for, are injured for, and to be accurate about the fact that Muslims are valuable U.S. and international citizens who also died in 9/11, and that this misperception was extremely wrong on many levels. We can make amends for such statements heard internationally by heads of governments of countries that have the bomb, and whose citizens are primarily Muslims or not, and have experience with leaders who act as crazy as some of the campaign talk. I say the Republican Party, the Christian groups, the leaders of whatever groups endorsed Trump need to act now and to include all Americans in an effort to send a louder more truthful world-wide message of the respect we have for Muslims everywhere. This campaign is not over. Its divisiveness is very apparent. It is now up to those who “won” and have power to reassure that they respect people of disability, value diversity, believe in freedom of religious expression, recognize that the environment has value, that they are not white supremists (because that is one very real fear out there — that I personally don’t believe), who will turn a blind eye or worse yet to racism, and do not see themselves as separate from the rest of the Americans who voted differently, as in winners vs. losers, and to do that — before Trump takes office, so we all know he knows our values to govern by. It is also up to those who voted differently this election to work with Trump supporters to create peace and strengthen our country from within. Anyone out there have ideas on who to approach to help with this? I want to know. Maybe it can start right here in Ramona. Janine Moniot is a Ramona resident.

OUR READERS WRITE Please donate to Karing Kayla Project My name is Kelly Dahlke (Brewer). I am writing this to share about a beautiful life that was taken way too soon. My niece, Kayla Alatorre, died on Jan. 7, 2015, from this horrible disease called addiction. She was only 23 years old, way too young. Kayla was born and raised in Ramona, growing up in your average middle class family. She participated in Girl Scouts, Ramona Pop Warner Cheer, Ramona Girls Softball, and attended church and youth groups regularly. I feel that is important that you know and understand this about her — to understand that the disease of addiction can happen to anyone, any gender, any race, any income, and that none of us are untouchable. I'm sure that most of you reading this have been effected directly or indirectly by this disease. Unfortunately this disease has forever changed my family's life. Because of this I do not want Kayla to have not gone through what she did for nothing. If we can reach someone, help someone, or even a family from some of the pain and heartache then everything we have been through will have a meaning. Because of our loss, the Karing Kayla Project was started last year in December. The reason behind the name is because that describes Kayla, a very caring person who was selfless and put others first. My first interaction with a homeless shelter was with Kayla. When I saw my niece she had nothing more than the clothes on her back and one bag to call her own, but when a lady asked if she had body wash, Kayla reached in her bag and gave her own away to a stranger. I was moved. This changed everything for me. I am asking for donations to hand out on Dec. 11, 2016. My birthday is Dec. 12 and all I ask for this year are donations to help support this project. I pray for this project to continue year after year so that one day, Kayla's son Calvin will be handing out donations with us and sharing about his mommy. Please help us keep Kayla's memory alive and never give up on the fight of addiction. Donations may be dropped off at two locations, 1212 H St. Space 207 or 866 Mimosa Creek Lane in Ramona. For any questions you may call 760-484-3047. All donations must be in no later than Dec. 9. Donations needed are: Blankets, throws, sleeping
bags, tarps, jackets, sweaters, mittens, gloves, socks. Travel size shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues, wipes, deodorant, female personal products, hand lotions, Cup of soup, cheese and crackers, granola bars, Ziploc bags. If someone would like to make a monetary donation we could get some of the things that we need. We appreciate any and all donations — new and used. Thank you. Kelly Dahlke Ramona
Fun day ends on sour note First of all, thanks to all of our friends and neighbors who stopped by to make our succulent sale on Saturday, Nov. 12, a big success and a lot of fun. We enjoyed meeting so many new people and sharing our passion for succulents with them. It was a very enjoyable day. We do this each November and May and it is always a rewarding experience. Unfortunately, the day ended on a sour note because someone chose to steal one of our signs publicizing the sale. The sign was wired to the guardrail on 67 near Archie Moore Road and was there all week and on Saturday morning when we set up for the sale at 6:30 a.m. However, between 6:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, someone went to the trouble of unwiring the expensive sandwich sign and removing it. The sign was generously loaned to us by Sharon Quisenberry of Coldwell Banker Realty in Ramona, who did so as a community service. If you took this sign, you can return it anonymously to 2130 Main St, Ramona, CA 92065 and no questions will be asked. If you saw the person(s) stealing the sign and have any information that could lead to its return, we would respectfully ask you to report that information to the Ramona Sheriff’s Office at their non-emergency number: 760 789-9158. We have filed a stolen property report with the sheriff. Again, thank you to the many wonderful people who stopped at our sale and made it a lovely day out for all of us. We hope that you enjoy your succulents and we look forward to seeing you again in May of 2017. Thanks from Danna Givot and Vern and Kathy Kilcrease. Danna Givot Ramona

GUEST COMMENTARY
Random notes on current happenings BY JOHN RAJCIC hat one word defines the type of government we have? Most people queried replied,“Democracy” or “Republic.” The words “Federal” and “Constitutional” popped up amongst others. We pledge allegiance to a Republic. It could be argued that we have a unique hybrid form of government that has evolved over time. We have a Democracy "practiced" in the form of a Constitutional Republic within a Federal system. Our Democracy is more a way of life than it is a form of government. How does all this work in our daily lives? Early in the morning off to work, at work are you greeted by a despot? Your work day is spent in what kind of "government?" Head for the Pasadena Rose Parade with your family four hours early. You get there and the sidewalks along the parade route are lined with private chairs and no one is sitting in those chairs. This public space is “reserved” by the chairs. They are “reserved” by what authority? Kudos to those in sleeping bags waiting for the parade to begin; however, if they were homeless, the “law” may not welcome these “vagrants.” Rush to get on the plane with your attache case and handbag. "Your" overhead compartment is taken by an occupant in a distant seat. Did you not pay for the seat, leg room and overhead storage? You mutter and cram your case and handbag under the seat in front of you and there goes your leg room. You arrive in Colorado Springs for your grandson's graduation. A large number of seats in the auditorium are reserved by “programs.” No person is near those seats. It is open seating! Should not the “democratic” and accepted notion of “first come, first served” come into play? Just a side tour: Along with my friend, Abe, we are cramming to get on a train in Tokyo. He tosses his magazine ahead of people in front of us, it lands on a seat, that seat becomes Abe's seat and there is some deference to me, the foreigner, and I
W
sit next to Abe. I wanted to stand for a lady, Abe tapped my knee and said, “sit.” Would this magazine toss work in our country? Going back to the plane, it pleased me when the man next to me on the plane cleared his overhead space by putting the luggage that was not his, into the aisle, making room in "his" overhead compartment for his luggage. The flight attendant prevented a ruckus, which I would have enjoyed and probably joined on the side of said man. Our Democracy works because most people respect the other person’s rights, including freedom to contract and the pursuit of property. We also wait our turn in line. Try the lines at the DMV or a rock concert as examples. We are principally "governed" in our daily lives by tradition, custom, culture, the Bill Of Rights, an innate sense of fair play and a God-given moral code. Our "Democracy" is more a way of life than a form of government, is it not? Our Constitution guards against the tyranny of the majority and minority. More than likely we, personally, had nothing to do in establishing the laws that govern us. "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One man thinks himself master of others, but remains more a slave than they are." This was written some time ago. Some random notions on current happenings. The leader's roll is not primarily cerebral. It is often instinctive and symbolic. Leaders have to be visible. They have less need to think deeply than to choose wisely between often unattractive options while inspiring confidence. It was said, possibly in jest, by Tip O'Neill that "the President could not survive without a 3 x 5 idiot card." These two, apparently good friends from opposite political parties, made things work. A final comment: Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner. John Rajcic is a Ramona school board member. He stresses that this commentary is his alone and does not represent the board.
Caltrans contractor conducts paving work at intersection Caltrans crews had anticipated one-way traffic control at state Route 67 and Dye/Highland Valley Road this week, but said Tuesday that lane closures were not necessary. The work is part of the SR-67 Dye/Highland Valley Road Interchange Project, which will widen SR-67 from two to four lanes through the intersection. Improvements include reconfiguring the intersection to accommodate commercial truck turns, adding a second left-turn lane onto the highway from both Dye and Highland Valley roads, as well as adding an equestrian trail along the streets. Other improvements include
push-button pedestrian crossings, upgraded drainage, and Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant concrete curbs. Motorists are reminded to watch for highway workers and moving construction equipment in the project area. The work schedule is subject to change depending on weather conditions. More information about the SR-67 Dye/Highland Valley Road Interchange Project is at dot.ca.gov/d11/projects/67_DyeRoad.pdf.

Open enrollment for for 2017 health insurance, Covered CA BY AMBER RAMIREZ Open enrollment for individuals and families both on and off the exchange is from Nov. 1 through Jan. 31. This is for ALL health insurance providers as well as Covered CA. It is imperative that you get it completed (changes or enrollment) within this time frame or changes will not be allowed until open enrollment at the end of 2017 for 2018 coverage. There are exceptions with special circumstances such as marriage, child reaching age 26, birth of a child and divorce. Then you would need a specialist to help you mid-term but it can be done. Certified enrollment counselors along with certified insurance agents can help with mid-term changes. Health insurance costs continue to rise. There are, however, options that are available to you to help minimize impact. There are four different tier levels from which to choose: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Deductibles and co-pays vary from tier to tier, so make sure
Insurance agent Amber Ramirez shares information about health insurance options during open enrollment. that you understand what your portion of the insurance will be before making your choice. Covered CA is also an option to help with the premiums. It is based on your income and family size. You can research rates and plans that are available at www.coveredca.com. If you need help, reach out to a professional. Another great
starting point is finding a doctor you want to continue seeing and see what insurance that doctor accepts. It helps narrow down the choices to make it less overwhelming to decide. Medi-Cal enrollment assistance can also be obtained if that is needed. For example, a household of one person with income less than $16,394, or two people with $22,107 or less can qualify for Medi-Cal in 2017. Medi-Cal enrollment is year-round. Small business coverage is another option. There is special criteria that has to be met to qualify for small business eligibility, so make sure that your business can qualify. Remember, penalties for not having coverage in 2017 have again increased, so make sure that you have coverage in place to avoid the penalties. Don’t wait. Call now to get your coverage secured in place for 2017. Amber Ramirez owns the Farmers Insurance Agency at 603 Main St.

BUSINESS Ask Mr. Marketing
Ladies Night
BY ROB WEINBERG
Hey, where’d you go?
S
ometimes my dog gets lonely. He’s 12 and set in his ways. This is challenging on days when I’m out for the entire day. Enter doggy daycare (yes, there is such a thing), where he spends his time with a pack of 80 furry knuckleheads. He’s happy and safe there, meaning I can tend to business. So imagine my surprise when I drove up recently to find the daycare facility had vanished. A crew was overhauling the building for a new tenant. A small sign directed me to a location two miles away where the daycare providers had moved. The new location was buried at the far end of a long parking lot. Though I eventually found it, my unanticipated detour forced a 15-minute delay for a client meeting. The facility no doubt updated their Facebook page with their new address — only I rarely visit that page. So how was I to know they’d moved? And how difficult would it have been for the daycare staff to send me an email with this news? A bizarre concept, right? You’re changing location and tell people where to find you so they can continue doing business with you. Failing to tell anyone (with the possible exception of those on-site the week of the move) guarantees
these guys will lose business. At some point that new tenant will move into the old location and the signage pointing to the new daycare facility will disappear. When that happens, anyone visiting the old location will probably assume the daycare facility is defunct and find a new service provider. Every business has a house list of current, past, and prospective customers. Over 30 years I’ve learned the most profitable organizations regularly communicate with everyone on that list. Communications (newsletters, promotions, emails, texts, calls, postcards, etc.) should vary by audience. Because whether you’re sharing buying opportunities, factoids, stories, or case histories, customers must be reminded why they need to have you in their lives. Recognizing that out of sight is out of mind, regular customer outreach ensures customers think of you often and remember to buy from you. Regular customer contact will grow your business over time, as well as helping you to weather disruptions like moving the business to a new location. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Communicate better with your customers. Visit www.askmrmarketing.com.

Steve Breen, two-time Pulitzer prize winning political cartoonist, talks to authors and guests at the fifth annual Authors Day in Ramona Library on Oct. 22. Breen also writes children’s books. In addition, the event gave the public an opportunity to talk with authors, purchase signed copies of books, and listen to a panel of experts discuss book publishing, promotion and distribution options.
BY ELIZABETH PULIDO Match Race Madness is returning to the Barona Drag Strip on Nov. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Drag racing competitors and spectators are anticipating another round of madness for which there is no cure. This family-oriented event is a time for the young and mature to get out into the fresh, fume-filled air and enjoy the sounds that only nature with pure horsepower can provide. Holding true to grassroots, heads-up drag racing tradition, the racer with the best two out of three races wins. Featured at this event will be AFX cars, imports and motorcycles. Every ticket is a pit pass so fans can meet their favorite
drivers and see up close every car or bike that will be racing down the track. Match racing has been around since the 1060s. In an effort to bring true, heads-up drag racing to the forefront of a bracket-dominated sport, Steve Sherman, a no-nonsense racer, organized a Ford versus Chevy match race which led to a San Diego versus Los Angeles all-out 800-spectator event. Thus, the idea of 20-plus pairs of racers as opposed to one pair came to be and Match Race Madness was born. Camping at the Barona event is free. For more information, contact Steve Sherman at 951-551-5118 or Shermanrace@hotmail.com, or see Match Race Madness on Facebook.

Operation Flapjacks raises $1,500 O peration Flapjacks, the third annual Veterans Appreciation Breakfast, raised $1,500, enough to send two high school juniors to Boys State. The breakfast, presented by Ramona American Legion Post 322 with assistance from Ramona High’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps and Ramona Senior Center, was held in Ramona Community Center on Nov. 5. An estimated 150 enjoyed a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausage and beverages. Among them were four U.S. Marine lance corporals, who spent three days at the home of fellow Marine Lance Cpl. Troy Jordan, whose family treated the five Marines to Thanksgiving and Christmas before they left for an undisclosed
part of Asia on Nov. 9. They will be deployed for six to nine months, said Jordan’s mother, Kathy Kahl, who attended the breakfast with her daughter, Bryn Jordan. Troy, a 2015 Ramona High School graduate, participated in the alumni wrestling fundraiser at Ramona High, so was unable to attend the breakfast. NJROTC cadets served breakfast and bused tables while Ramona Senior Center’s kitchen staff prepared the food. Of the money raised, about $1,000 will go for two high school juniors to attend American Legion Boys State for a week in the summer. About $300 will go to the NJROTC with other proceeds going to the senior center, said Mike Thweatt, Post 322 commander.

County eyes 22 acres for preserve Applies for $125,000 grant The county Parks and Recreation Department plans to seek grant funds to acquire 22 acres of land east of state Route 67 and west of the San Vicente Reservoir for species preservation. County supervisors adopted a resolution for Parks and Recreation to apply for up to $125,000 from the Habitat Conservation Fund (HCF), which provides grants for land acquisition to protect plant and animal species and to develop wildlife corridors and trails. The HCF grant is competitive and requires a dollar-for-dollar funding match. Known as the San Vicente Connection, the property is within the South County Multiple Species Conservation Program pre-approved mitigation area and consists of high-quality coastal sage scrub – prime habitat for the coastal California gnatcatcher, according to the county. The land is adjacent to another county preserve that is currently closed to the public and is just over a mile southwest of the Boulder Oaks Preserve, said Jessica Geiszler, Parks and Recreation Marketing & Public Outreach Manager. The county anticipates funding notification in July 2017.
Hunter mentioned for posts in Trump administration BY CARL PRINE Widely considered to have made the short list of candidates for top national security jobs in Donald Trump’s administration, Rep. Duncan Hunter of Alpine pledged Friday to make the Pentagon great again after eight years of Democratic control. “I’m excited about a warrior culture, a warrior mentality put back into the (military), as opposed to a corporate culture ruled over by the bureaucrats and lawyers,” Hunter, a Republican member of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a phone interview. “The warrior culture is going to get infused into (the department) again. It’s probably going to take a while because a lot of guys who had that mentality are no longer there, but maybe people’s true colors can show now, a little bit.” An early endorser of Trump’s presidential campaign, Hunter remained steadfastly loyal to the New York TV star and real estate tycoon, even after the presidential candidate rankled many military veterans and key GOP national security figures through a series of controversial statements. On the campaign stump, for example, Trump mocked Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam; claimed to be smarter than many of America’s generals; and proposed a slew of divisive plans such as forcing Muslim-Americans to register for a counter-terrorism database. “Listen, he’s not a politician. He’s never been in public office,” Hunter said Friday. “He’s never had to talk and had everything that he says dissected and taken apart, right? There’s a learning period here and it’s pretty steep, but I think he’s doing great now.”
Hunter, a Marine combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, has been rumored for several top spots on Trump’s national security team. Those include secretary or deputy secretary of defense, Army secretary or a spot on the National Security Council — a position also of interest to retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, a Trump confidante. Recently re-elected in a landslide, Hunter insisted that holding a safe House seat in a largely Republican district pales in importance to serving his nation at the highest levels during wartime, a belief he said is shared by his constituents. Ramona is among communities in the 50th Congressional District that Hunter represents. “Unanimously they’ve said, ‘Do it. Get into the administration and try to affect things from there because Trump needs you,’” he said. If tapped as secretary of defense, the 39-year-old Hunter would become the youngest person in U.S. history to assume the Pentagon’s top post. The short list for that job is believed to include former Sen. Jim Talent, a Republican from Missouri, and Stephen Hadley, who was a national security adviser to President George W. Bush. At the Pentagon, Hunter said, he would work to overturn a string of initiatives launched by President Barack Obama’s administration that he believes make the country less safe, such as opening up infantry and special-operations units to women. He also wants to preserve the Army’s armored brigades and fix a naval force that’s increasingly dependent on vessels like the nimble but small littoral combat ship, which Hunter called a “Navy screw-up and a congressional screw-up.”
Design flaws, cost overruns and questionable command oversight have dogged the warships. On the campaign trail, Trump suggested abandoning or reducing America’s commitment to North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies that skimped on defense spending. He also complained about a perceived lack of financial support from longtime allies Japan and South Korea. Hunter said the two Asian nations dedicate substantial resources to host American troops stationed on their home soil, but that several NATO states could spend more to maintain mutual-defense obligations. To Hunter, the thornier problem is how to address rising Russian power. “Keep Russia in Syria, because I think Russia should be in Syria. I’m not a guy who’s upset about that. But get them out of Ukraine,” he said. Hunter said Trump carries no post-election baggage, such as job promises for national security figures from the GOP establishment. To Hunter, Obama’s White House arrogantly relied more on Ivy League diplomas than it did subject-matter experts and combat-tested military personnel. “Just because you’ve got a degree from a foreign policy place doesn’t make you an expert in the world,” Hunter said. “This (current) administration — which is full of young people with high and lofty ideals and a lot of degrees — frankly, I’d take one of my staff sergeants over them any day. “They understand what war means. They understand the enemy. They understand who we’re fighting.” Carl Prine writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

FROM BOARD, A1 was running against water board president Thomas Ace in Division 3. “I think it’s not in good spirit to change this on the day of the election.” Division 5 candidate Doug Kafka asked the board not to take action on what “looks like a lame duck” to protect someone. He also said he wanted to put a rumor to bed that some people want to terminate Barnum’s employment. There is no intention to do so, said Kafka, a comment echoed by public speaker Rex Gammon. It appears the five member board will have two new directors come January. According to San Diego County Registrar’s office, unofficial election results of Nov. 14 showed Ace winning 52.21 percent to Piva’s 47.79 percent, with a difference of 100 votes. In Division 5, represented by George Foote, who did not run again, former water board director Bryan Wadlington had the lead with 803 votes, beating Kafka, 704 votes, and Gary Hurst, 685 votes. Approximately 444,000 mail-in and provisional ballots countywide were yet to be counted, reported the registrar’s office. Division 1 will be represented by newcomer Jeff Lawler, who ran unopposed, as Darrell Beck did not seek re-election. The directors’ vote took place after the board’s two-hour closed session for the yearly performance evaluation of the general manager. Ace told the Sentinel that Barnum, for his employment negotiations, requested the affirmative votes’ increase for fear a new board would be less favorable toward him. The request also included raising the required votes for the “with cause” termination clause,
which directors did not change. Foote’s motion to amend the “without cause” contract section from three to four affirmative votes included a sunset clause that it will expire Oct. 31, 2017, to give time for a new board to learn more about the district. Hickle recommended the clause expire in 90 days, pointing out that voters were that day electing one or two new board members and saying, “Having for an entire year is entirely too long,” He was the lone dissenter in the 4-1 vote. According to Ace, Barnum did not request a pay raise during negotiations but he will be looking into a district-leased vehicle for his use with a lease fee comparable to the $400 monthly car allowance he receives. The district’s Jan. 1, 2016, salary schedule shows his pay range around $213,000, not including benefits. In 2014, Barnum’s employment negotiations included a 3 percent raise in October 2016 and increased his severance package to 18 months. Ace said Barnum’s salary falls about mid-range among area water district general managers. In other business the board: • Set a public hearing date of Dec. 13 for adoption of the 2016 California Fire Code and 2015 International Fire Code. Cal Fire/Ramona Fire Department Chief Steve Foster said the documents come up for adoption every three years and there were few changes. • Authorized granting easements to San Diego Gas and Electric at the district’s San Vicente Water Reclamation Plant on San Vicente Road for SDG&E’s utility pole replacement project. • Eliminated several non-active ad hoc committees.

PREP CROSS COUNTRY
Ramona High girls win Valley League title Gibson wins second individual championship BY DAN BROWN AND JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's girls cross-country team won its first league championship in more than a decade on the Guajome Park course Nov. 12 while Ramona senior Gwendalyn Gibson won her second consecutive Valley League individual championship. The formula that determines the final Valley League team positions utilizes each school's position at the first league cluster meet for 25 percent, at the second league cluster for another 25 percent, and at the league championship meet for 50 percent. Ramona's girls also won the Sept. 30 league cluster meet at Guajome Park and the Oct. 28 league cluster at Kit Carson Park. Team cross-country scores are obtained from the combined positions of the first five finishers. The sixth and seventh runners are not scored but can add points to other teams' totals. Ramona had a team score of 36 points, San Pasqual placed second with 65 points, Fallbrook had the third-place total of 72 points, Valley Center accumulated 76 points, and Escondido's runners received 111 points. "They ran great," Ramona head coach Sherri Edwards said of her team. Each school is allowed up to 12 runners at the league meet, and nine of Ramona's harriers placed in the top 20. The top 10 finishers earn berths on the all-league first team and the next 10 finishers have second-team status among the all-league runners. Three of Ramona's girls earned first-team

honors and six Bulldog girls finished high enough to be placed on the Valley League second team. Although Ramona's boys finished last as a team, two of the male runners — Jack Clough and Cameron Klein — achieved all-league recognition. The Guajome Park course is 3.1 miles. Gibson had a time of 19:10 while San Pasqual junior Renee Laurenzana finished second at 20:08. Gibson
placed fourth in the Oct. 8 Southern California Running Center Invitational meet but won her other seven meets before making the league championship meet her eighth victory of the year. Ramona freshman Amy Brown took third place with a time of 20:17. Sophomore Lexi Waples, who completed the course in 21:31, placed ninth to become Ramona's third
representative on the Valley League first team. A time of 21:42 gave freshman Gracie Knowd 11th place, Madison Huckey had the 12th-place time of 21:43, senior Marissa Talle placed 13th at 21:46, freshman Michaela Meskell had a time of 21:51 for 15th place, senior Christina Brown took 18th place with a 22:17 performance, and freshman Alyssa Davis earned 20th
place by completing the course in 22:32. Only seven runners from each team will be able to race at the CIF San Diego Section meet Saturday at Morley Field. If Ramona finishes among the top three Division III teams, the Bulldogs will qualify for the state meet for the first time since 2000. "They all believe they can make it to state," Edwards said. The top five individuals not affiliated with a team qualifying for the state meet will also earn entry into the state meet, which will take place Nov. 26 at Woodward Park in Fresno. San Pasqual won the boys championship with 22 points and Valley Center was second with 48 points. Escondido and Fallbrook both had 87 points with Escondido being awarded third on the tiebreaker of the fastest sixth runner. Ramona accumulated 104 points. "We have a really young team. They'll come along," Edwards said. Six of Ramona's first seven boys finishers are sophomores. Jack Clough had a time of 16:45, which gave him sixth place and first-team Valley League distinction. Clough had finished eighth at both league cluster meets. "He moved up a couple of spots," Edwards said. Cameron Klein earned second-team Valley League recognition with a 16th-place time of 17:46. Mitchell Sutter had a time of 18:09 for 23rd place and Billy Miller finished 29th at 18:40. Colton Meskell, the Bulldog boys' only senior, placed 33rd after racing for 18:44. Gavin Roche had a time of 18:56 for 37th place. Colin Duffy had a 19:17 performance which was worth 40th place. "I was pleased. All those top seven all had improvements," Edwards said. "They're gaining experience and getting better every race."

Bulldogs to face Westridge in Division 2 state championships BY JOE NAIMAN If Ramona High School’s girls volleyball team beats Westridge, an all-girls school in Pasadena, in the CIF Division 2 state tournament this week, the Bulldogs will have a home contest this Saturday at 7 p.m. Although Ramona lost a Nov. 10 state playoff seeding match at home against Canyon Crest, the Bulldogs received the third seed in the Southern California bracket of the state Division 2 playoffs. "It's not bad at all," said Ramona coach Connie Halfaker. The Division 2 playoffs include 16 Southern California teams and 16 Northern California teams. "I'm looking for some pretty good success," Halfaker said. The 25-21, 25-15, 25-17 loss to Canyon Crest gave Ramona a 28-8 record. "We played well, played aggressively, but came up short in the score," Halfaker said. "We played a very solid match, but they were just a little bit more than us across the board. SEE VOLLEYBALL, A20

NJROTC marksmanship team defeats Hawthorne BY ERIK K. ANDERSON Ramona High’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps defeated Hawthorne NJROTC 1041 to 976 in the National Air Rifle League on Saturday. It was Ramona’s third consecutive win, putting the team in third place in the Champions Division with a 4-2 record. Nicole Lewis, who shot a 269, led the Ramona team. The remaining contributing members were Joseph Schultz, Marisa Houry and Hailey Henshaw. RHS Naval Science instructor Bob Richardson, U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer retired, coaches the team. Hawthorne NJROTC dropped to 1-5 on the season for seventh place. Next, Ramona NJROTC will compete against Laurens NJROTC from Laurens, S.C., which has a 2-4 record. The teams are competing in the NJROTC Champions Division of the Orion National Air Rifle League. Sponsored by the Orion
Scoring System, the league is a national team league for high school teams and junior rifle clubs. The 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. For more information on the league, including complete standings, visit www.orionscoringsystem.com/AirRifleLeague.

PREP GIRLS TENNIS
San Diego Section tournament eludes Bulldogs BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona’s Bulldog tennis team missed CIF tournament play by one place. Five Valley League tennis singles players and five Valley League doubles teams earned entry into the CIF individual tournament at the Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego. The selection was based on performance at the Valley League tournament at San Pasqual High School. The quarterfinals losers played for the fifth-place berth, and Ramona netters settled for sixth place and were eliminated from the CIF tournament. "I wish we could have gotten a couple of teams to the Barnes Center, but next year we will," said Ramona coach Troy Romero. Renee Hogervorst, who lost the fifth-place singles match, is a junior this year. Hannah Nowakowski and Halli Romero were the Bulldogs on the wrong end of the fifth-place doubles match;
Nowakowski is a junior and Romero is a sophomore. The league tournament consisted of 24 singles players and 24 doubles entries with the top eight seeds in each competition receiving a first-round bye. That format allows four singles teams and four doubles tandems from each team in a six-team league, but since the Valley League only has five schools and Fallbrook only had enough players for four singles entries and three doubles teams, Ramona was allowed five singles players and five pairs of doubles partners. Hogervorst had the sixth singles seed and thus a first-round bye, seniors Jamie Roe and Kaley Sapper had the third doubles seed and automatically advanced to the round of 16, and Nowakowski and Romero had the seventh doubles seed and automatic second-round entry. Troy Romero brought up Brianne McDonald from the junior varsity to play
singles in the tournament. McDonald defeated Fallbrook freshman Nicole Dulin in 6-0 and 6-1 sets. Ramona sophomore Chelsea Boss defeated San Pasqual junior Lexi Kindschi in the first round. Kindschi took a 6-2 victory in the first set. The second set was tied at six games apiece to trigger a tiebreaking game to seven points; Boss won the set with a 7-2 victory in that game. Boss then captured the match with a 6-2 victory in the third set. Ramona senior Toni Radeke ended her high school career with a three-set loss to Escondido senior Odelia Ha. Radeke won the 6-4 first set and the second set was tied six games apiece, but the tiebreaking game ended with the 7-3 score in Ha's favor. Ha then captured the deciding third set by a 6-4 margin. "It was a valiant effort," Troy Romero said. The first round also ended high school SEE TENNIS, A26

RETIRED COUPLE
PET OF THE WEEK
TWINKLE, an 8-year-old Boxer/
American Staffordshire Terrier mix, is looking for her new best friend. She was found as a stray and has proven to be such a sweet, old soul. She’s easy-going, mellow and can’t wait to find a family to share her love with. Twinkle loves everyone, but we think she would prefer older children in a quiet home, where her family can understand when she needs her naptime. She would love to go for leisurely walks and snuggle on the couch with her new family. November is Adopt-A-Senior-Pet Month. On average, senior pets spend four times longer in shelters than younger animals. Open your heart to the ageless love of a senior pet today! Twinkle is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside Campus located at 2905 San Luis Rey Road. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 757-4357.

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.

FROM TENNIS, A20 play for Ramona senior Mylani Garduno, who faced Valley Center sophomore Maddison Clark. Clark prevailed in a pair of 6-1 sets. Clark is the sister of Valley Center senior Brooke Clark, who was seeded second and had a first-round bye. Brooke Clark's first match was a 6-0, 6-0 victory at McDonald's expense. Boss had a second-round match against Escondido senior Emily Kanetis, the seventh seed who advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-1 win against Boss. The first two rounds of singles play took place Oct. 31, and Hogervorst was the only Ramona player to advance to the November portion of the competition. Her second-round victory against Valley Center junior Kali Melendez was by 6-1 and 6-2 margins. The first two doubles rounds were played Nov. 1. Four of the five Ramona duos advanced to the second round, including the two with first-round byes and junior varsity callups Tiffany Meredith and Bri Lunsford, whose Fallbrook opposition defaulted. "That was pretty good," Troy Romero said. The Ramona team of junior Ashley Cortez and senior Sarah Drown defeated their Fallbrook counterparts in 6-1 and 6-0 sets. Romero teamed junior varsity callup Zayde Cordova with junior Hailey Henshaw, but they lost a pair of 6-0 sets to their San Pasqual opponents. Two of the tandems won second-round matches. Roe and Sapper captured 6-0 and 6-3 sets against the Fallbrook doubles team. Nowakowski and Halli Romero needed three sets to defeat their Escondido opposition; they won the first set by a 6-2 score but lost the 7-5 second set to force a third set which ended with a 6-1 victory for Nowakowski and Romero. Meredith and Lunsford were pitted against the second-seeded tandem consisting of San Pasqual senior Cassie Triggs and freshman Sophie Belair and were defeated in a pair of 6-0 sets. Cortez and Drown lost a 6-2, 6-4 match to the #4 seed comprised of San Pasqual seniors Rosa Guzman and Alyssa Perfili. The quarterfinals took place Nov. 2. Hogervorst faced
third-seeded Cali Smith, a San Pasqual junior, who advanced to the semifinals with a 6-2, 6-1 victory. Smith defeated Brooke Clark in the semifinals before losing the championship match to Fallbrook sophomore Imogen Isaac. Roe and Sapper had a quarterfinal match against an Escondido team which qualified for the CIF tournament with a 7-5, 6-4 victory. Nowakowski and Romero fell to Triggs and Belair in 6-1 and 6-3 sets. The quarterfinals losers began the competition for fifth place Nov. 2. Nowakowski and Romero were paired against Roe and Sapper. Roe and Sapper won the first set seven games to five while Nowakowski and Romero took the second set by that score. The third set was tied at six games apiece before Nowakowski and Romero won the 7-5 tiebreaking game. Hogervorst advanced to the fifth-place singles match with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 victory over Kanetis. The matches for fifth place were contested Nov. 3. Hogervorst lost a 6-4, 6-2 match to San Pasqual freshman Delaney Esselman, who was seeded eighth. Nowakowski and Romero had a 3-2 lead in the first set against Valley Center seniors Mandi Malich and Sierra Sisler, but the Jaguar duo came back for a 6-4 victory and completed the match with a 6-2 triumph in the second set. Although none of the Ramona players advanced to the CIF tournament, Hogervorst was named to the Valley League first team and the second-team selections included the Roe-Sapper and Nowakowski-Romero duos. "Some good things did happen," Troy Romero said of the league tournament. Ramona's dual match record for the season was 9-7, including a 12-6 loss Oct. 25 at Santa Fe Christian in the first round of the CIF Division II playoffs. The Bulldogs had a 5-3 Valley League record for second place in the standings. "We had a great season," Romero said. "I'm really pleased with the girls." Romero replaced Rose Darrough as the Bulldogs' coach this year. "I had a great time. I really enjoyed it," Romero said of his first year.

Officials warn of palm weevil City News Service—A coalition of government agencies and industry groups involved in agriculture warned area residents to be on the lookout for a type of weevil that destroys palms and other types of trees. Agriculture officials are hoping to locate and stop the invasive South American palm weevil before it gets established in California. The pest is 1-1/2 to 2 inches long, jet black, with long snouts. Besides palm trees, the weevils feed on 35 other forms of plants, including avocado and citrus trees. They're primarily found in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. “It's very important that we determine how far this pest, the South American palm weevil, has spread,” said county Agriculture Commissioner Ha Dang. “Anyone who sees a large black beetle with a long, pronounced snout should report it.” Residents who spot palm weevils or palm trees damaged by the pest can fill out an online form

on the website of the Center for Invasive Species Research at UC Riverside: cisr.ucr.edu/palmarum.html. The CISR website also has photographs. According to the UCR center, the weevil was discovered in Tijuana in 2010 after numerous dead palm trees were noted. The species was found in San Ysidro the following year. The center's website says the pest could “cause significant damage to native and non-native palms in California,'' where the ornamental palm industry has an estimated value of $70 million. Agriculture officials said that despite the beetle's large size, it is often difficult to detect weevil infestations because they live inside palms. However, infested palms will often suffer notched new fronds or damage to the top of the crown. In advanced stages of infestation, the tops of palms can droop and collapse.
