BY KAREN BRAINARD Banning together and pooling their resources, the McWhorter siblings are fighting to preserve their parents’ legacy. Since 1960, the McWhorter family has owned the house and approximately 13 acres at the northwest corner of state Route 67 and Highland Valley Road, where Caltrans recently acquired some of their property for its intersection improvement project. Family members are not complaining about losing some land to the project — they’ve been down that road before — but instead say they have been treated unfairly, been given incorrect information, are worried about safe access to the house, and are now
forced to defend themselves in a legal battle with Caltrans. “We feel like we’ve been ripped off,” said Candy Smiley. She and her siblings, Polly Meyers, Venus Andrecht, Jim McWhorter and Arthur McWhorter, who all live in Ramona, gathered together to discuss their plight. Their sister, Barbara Raifsnider, who died in 2014, is with them in spirit, said Candy. “We must be assured of ingress, egress,” she said. “Caltrans has ignored all this.” The driveway to the house is off SR-67, just south of the intersection, but for the past 10 years or so they also have had access from Highland Valley Road — a safety move they SEE CALTRANS, A20
District thanks trustee for making a difference BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON Outgoing Ramona Unified board member John Rajcic, Ph.D., took the accolades he received at the end of his last meeting as trustee in stride, peppering his remarks with his trademark humor, storytelling and philosophy — and even singing a portion of Paul McCartney’s “Yesterday.” “That’s a heck of a song,” he said before beginning to sing the song he said had been going through his mind all day. When he reached “Suddenly I’m not half the man I used to be; there’s a shadow hanging over me,” he slowed and appeared emotional. “You know the problem with being a good sport?” he asked. “You have to lose to prove it. And I’m not a very good sport.” Rajcic, elected to the board in 2012, lost his bid for re-election on Nov. 8, coming in third to newcomer Daryn Drum and two-term trustee Dawn Perfect. District trustees and Superintendent Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., ended the Nov. 17 meeting with words of thanks and appreciation for Rajcic and the difference he made. “I want to thank you for your questions that always seemed to spark thinking and spark discussion,” said Staffieri. “…You do have an abundance of wisdom and a great deal of independence and commitment.”

District, teachers reach tentative agreement
Ramona Unified School District has reached a tentative agreement with the Ramona Teachers Association that calls for a 2.1 percent raise beginning Jan. 1. The tentative proposal also calls for a one-time 2.3 percent bonus for September through December. Teachers have received the proposal and are scheduled to vote on it this week. An RTA membership meeting to discuss the agreement was scheduled for Nov. 29 at 3:45 p.m. If the teachers ratify the proposal, district trustees will vote on it at their Dec. 15 meeting. “We are very excited that there is an agreement and, moving forward, hopeful that for the rest of this year that it will be smooth sailing,” Cori McDonald, RTA president, said at the school board’s meeting last Thursday. Negotiations continue between the district and the California School Employees Association Ramona Chapter No. 733, the union representing support workers such as secretaries, custodians, and teacher and campus aides. The next negotiation meeting between the district and CSEA is Dec. 5, Assistant Superintendent Tony Newman said.
FROM RAJCIC, A1 Early in her prepared remarks to Rajcic, Lasley’s voice broke with emotion. “You’re going to make me cry,” said Rajcic, quickly changing the mood of the audience with, “I cry when Lassie gets caught in the corn field.” Lasley said Rajcic will be missed. She thanked him for the care and compassion he showed the district, “especially the students and employees.” He consistently visited all the schools and classrooms, and he and his wife, Connie, attended many school events, “whether it be a concert, dance performance, fundraiser or football game,” she said. “Look at the district office,” said Lasley. “You were persistent on having it painted and looking better. Now look at it.” Trustee Rodger Dohm, who made the plaque the board presented Rajcic, said, “In the four years that you’ve been here, you probably single-handedly have made more change in Ramona Unified than any board member.” Rajcic was willing to question everything, said Dohm, “and in questioning everything, you think about everything different. And it wasn’t just the board that was thinking about everything different, it was the entire community.” Saying Rajcic is a wealth of information, Trustee Dawn Perfect told him, “You’ve made us grow, you have made us stretch on every single topic that we’ve worked on.” “Thank you,” Rajcic said to those who spoke. When trustee Bob Stoody referred to four years of family sacrifice — attending events, worrying about the district and thinking about the board members — the audience assumed he was talking about Rajcic. “I acknowledge you’ve done all of that, but really all that was mentioned was for Connie

From left: trustee Bob Stoody, student board member Jillian Hermes, John and Connie Rajcic, board president Kim Lasley, trustees Dawn Perfect and Rodger Dohm, Superintendent Anne Staffieri and student board member Jaelyn Quezada. (who was in the audience),” said Stoody. “Thank you, Connie, for the sacrifice, because we know what it costs to be on the board and what it costs family members — and thank you, John.” Rajcic talked about the day he met his wife. While a University of Minnesota student, he was tending bar when she asked for change to use the pay telephone. “I touched her hand and we were married five weeks later,” he said, adding with emotion, “62 years,” before again changing the mood to laughter with “The point is, she said if we had cell phones, we never would have met.” Rajcic said he has done many things in his 86 years, “but I’m basically a schoolteacher at heart.” He asked Ramona High School student school board member Jillian Hermes to read his
final words, but before she did, she thanked him “for just being my friend, not only the person that just sits next to me (at meetings).” Hermes said she was nervous at her first board meeting, “and you cracked a joke and I just felt so much better.” In another exchange with Rajcic, he said something and she agreed, “and you said, ‘When two minds think alike, that means one isn’t thinking,’” she added. That inspired her to think things through, she said. “So this is his last words to the public,” she said: “Outrageous expectations must be the standard for all students. Beware of conformity; conformity leads to mediocrity; mediocrity leads to regression to the mean and therein lies the abyss.”

Design board sees plans for proposed retail Approves signage for two other new businesses BY KAREN BRAINARD A new life for the old vacant house at the corner of Main and Third streets is in the works with the property owner planning to open a retail establishment. It is one of several new businesses preparing to open in town. Andy Canales, a Ramona resident and owner of the property at 316 Main St., presented his preliminary plans for Casa Rustica to the Ramona Design Review Board at its Nov. 17 meeting. The board moved its monthly meeting up a week due to a conflict with the Thanksgiving holiday. The property previously was the site of 3rd Street Grill and, before that, Di Giovanni’s Italian Ristorante. Canales said he and his wife plan to open a retail business with imported pottery that will be displayed outside and hand-selected, high-quality home décor sold inside. While they plan to hand select items from Mexico, Canales said they will also be looking for local products. According to Canales, he has owned the property for about two years and has been

working on a business plan. He said he is not physically altering the building but is fixing it up and working with Ramona architect Reed Settle. “I’m trying to make it simple, easy, so I can get this off the ground,” he told the design board. For the house, Canales said he plans to put on a new roof, fix the siding, and paint it with rustic, earthtone colors. He also plans to add a wrought iron fence and spruce up the landscaping by replacing vegetation that has died. Design review members, who were favorable to the project, offered suggestions for the sign he plans to install on his corner property so it meets the Ramona form-based code design requirements. As it was a preliminary review, no action was taken. A sign for another new business, Reds, Whites & Brews, received unanimous board approval. Peter Bidegain, who owns Antiques & Treasures and Pacesetter Stereo at 629 Main St., said he will be opening a tasting room for local wines and craft beers in the storefront currently housing the stereo system business. He presented a rustic, western-looking sign that will replace the Pacesetter sign hanging from the brackets on the building’s façade. Plans for Taco Bell at 1925 Main St. are

moving along. Randy Bolieu, owner of St. Mar Enterprises Inc., an Escondido-based franchisee of Taco Bell, said the location will be his company’s 23rd in the county. Ramona previously had a Taco Bell but it closed; Bolieu said that one was corporate owned. Bolieu sought waiver requests for a menu board that will be in the back of the building for a drive-through, and two directional signs. Board members deliberated over the size of the five-panel menu board, which exceeded what would be allowed in the form-based code signage regulations. “This would be the smallest one in town and it’s already 50 percent over,” said member Eric Guenther. Jim Cooper asked if Taco Bell had another menu board option and Bolieu showed a three-panel alternative that wasn’t as wide. The board approved that menu board, minus an arch and bell on top, and two proposed internally-lit directional signs. Chair Rob Lewallen recused himself as his family owns the center where Taco Bell is locating. The board, which normally meets on the last Thursday of the month, will hold its next meeting on Dec. 22 due to the holidays. Meetings start at 7:30 p.m. in the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Thanksgiving: Have an attitude of gratitude BY BRYAN GOLDEN Thanksgiving is much more than a big meal with family and friends. It's a time to reflect on, and be thankful for, all of the good things you have. It's important to be grateful, not just on Thanksgiving, but each and every day. Rather than lamenting what you feel is lacking in your life, begin each new day by developing an attitude of gratitude. Take inventory of your blessings and you will be surprised at just how much you have to be thankful for. If you have enough to eat, a place to live, a way to get around, people who care about you, or people you care about, then you are wealthy. If you lack any of these elements, you must still be grateful for what you do have, while striving to obtain whatever is absent. Focus on all positive aspects of your life. Take nothing for granted. Every morning, recharge your appreciation. Be happy for everything there is, not upset over what you feel is missing. Dreams of the future shouldn’t diminish appreciation for the present. If all you do is concentrate on what you want, you won't enjoy today. Don't be jealous of others; what they do or have has no bearing on you. You can feel bitter or resentful for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you feel something is missing from your life, things aren't going your way, or you have been treated unfairly. You may wonder, "why do these things always happen to me?" Life's problems tend to dominate your thoughts, turning your focus to what you feel is wrong. You may start to resent those who appear to be better off. You’re apt to dwell on things you think would make your life better if you had them. If only you had more money, more time, a bigger house, a different car, a different job, a different boss, had picked a different career, etc. Once your attitude becomes one of deficiency instead of abundance and appreciation, you can become overwhelmed by feelings of frustration and feel like a victim. As this happens, a consuming vicious cycle starts. Being bitter or resentful blows situations out of proportion. People who are bitter frequently find that their situations deteriorate and their mental and physical health decays. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to achieve your goals while you are bitter or resentful. Regardless of what challenges might befall you, bitterness makes finding solutions much more elusive. There is no point to feeling bitter since it accomplishes nothing, harms you and makes things worse. Filling yourself with gratitude on a daily basis makes you feel good, while driving out negative feelings. Begin your practice of gratitude each morning as soon as you wake. Every day is a SEE GOLDEN, A6
GUEST COMMENTARY
Suburb or a town with identity? We still have a choice BY EDALEE ORCUTT HARWELL udy Van der Veer was a Ramona farmgirl who was stuck in bed with a broken leg. Her father handed her a pen, a piece of paper, and said, “Entertain yourself.” Judy remained, by choice, a farmgirl for the rest of her life — even after her books made her famous. Her books are now long out of print, but “Brown Hills,” published in 1838, has a note by her publisher: “Judy Van der Veer is the four-leaf clover that publishers are always searching for but so rarely fine. She is magic; a real discovery.” Her publishers were Longmans, Green and Co. of New York, Toronto and London. In a 1969 interview for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Judy stated: “Eighty percent of the city people should not be allowed outside of the city limits. They get out in the country and try to make everything like the city.” The other morning when I discovered that the little dirt

road leading to our secluded horse ranch had been buried under tons of lumpy chunks of black asphalt, I knew that she was right. And that it is happening in Ramona. Is it too late? Do we still have a choice? Do we want to become a San Diego suburb or maintain an identity? Could we choose to be World Famous, like our neighbor the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park, now called Safari Park? That did not come easy. The zoo is celebrating its 100th birthday, and a two-volume history tells their story of triumph and disaster, determination and imagination. Where are Ramona’s Dr. Harry and Belle Benchley? Perhaps it’s time for our Walt Disney to wake up and live. Consider the gift of our location. We lie midway between San Diego and Palm Springs with tourism at our mercy. We already have the lure of our popular wine tasting. Why not add History and Horses, both already big business? Before it’s too late, perhaps we could rescue SEE TOWN, A6
OUR READERS WRITE Lindbergh was not a traitor In reference to Mr. Quercia in letters to the editor, it is suggested that he does a little review. Lindbergh was not a traitor to the United States, was not of German descent but Swedish, and although given a medal by Goering, it was because of his work for aviation. He did return the medal after Kristalnacht — he had received it prior to Kristalnacht. He was against the war, which is not being a traitor, but did several trips for the U.S. government to ascertain the condition, etc., of the German aircraft facilities. He was no friend of Roosevelt or his friends who wanted their

great day. If you have any doubts, try missing one. Take inventory of everything, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, that is good in your life. If it helps, make a written list of all things you are grateful for. Read your list every day. As you do this, you will build and reinforce your attitude of gratitude. Don't waste any time with what you feel you don't have. Keep things in perspective. Consider all the people who have overcome difficulties far worse than yours. Don't be consumed by your problems, there is always a solution. Maintaining an attitude of gratitude allows your mind to devise a resolution for your circumstances. Make every day a day of Thanksgiving and you will be amazed how much better your life will become. Bryan Golden is the author of "Dare to Live Without Limits."

the late Mabee’s Golden Eagle stud farm. The racehorse Best Pal was as famous in his day as California Chrome is now, and he was bred, foaled, schooled and sent on his career from there. Now he is buried at Golden Eagle and a monument celebrates the place. Perhaps Joan Embery would help convert the property into a Ramona Show of Horses for tourists, like the one she helped to establish at the Wild Animal Park in the early days of its struggle. The stands were crowded for every performance and after the show people remained just outside the arena railing where they could be close, and perhaps even touch, a live horse. They would stay, asking questions, until it was time for the next show. It had to be discontinued when someone with clout insisted that horses are not wild animals. Changing Ramona’s focus may be painful, but as my Dad was fond of saying, “You have to break eggs to make an omelet.” Edalee Orcutt Harwell is a Ramona resident.

TOWN HALL GETS A FACELIFT
A painter with Foothill Painting Co. Inc., based in Tujunga, Calif., sprays a coat of red over the white primer that was applied to Ramona Town Hall's facade last week. The red application is an ultraviolet (UV) coating, rather than a paint, to protect it from the sun and increase its longevity, said Woody Kirkman, Ramona Town Hall Board of Trustees president. The new color will be more in line with the original brick, he said. Below, Kirkman removes dry-rotted molding from the front of town hall.

Barnett Elementary fifth-grader is Inspirational Student of the Month BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON Ramona Unified School District’s Inspirational Student of the Month is “loved, loved, loved, loved” by all of her teachers, Barnett Elementary fifth-grade teacher Cathy Harrington said when she introduced Rachel Herrera to the school board. Rachel’s father, Dan, died in May after a 17-month battle with cancer. Her mother, Carol, and other family members were among those in the audience Nov. 17, when the Barnett fifth-grader received her plaque that said, “You were made to be awesome.” “Despite the days her heart is sad due to the loss of her father, she carries him as a glorious memory and continues to be positive,” Harrington said.
Rachel inspires others to be better, her smile brightens the day, and her enthusiasm for learning sets an example for others, said Harrington. Describing Rachel as “an amazing young lady who is beautiful inside and out,” Harrington said the fifth-grader works hard every day to reach the goals she sets for herself, “and she never settles for less.” She aspires to be the best that she can be, Harrington added. Turning to look at Rachel, Harrington said, “It is my honor to recognize you, Rachel, for this special award.” Rachel is the third student to receive the Inspirational Student of the Month award, a tradition the district’s new superintendent, Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., started in September.

Supervisors boost food safety, caterer options at wineries BY GIG CONAUGHTON San Diego County supervisors adopted new rules Wednesday to make sure people are safe when they visit the region’s whopping number of wineries and breweries and decide to have a burger with their brew or more than just a little cheese with their wine.
Supervisors voted 4-0 to adopt an ordinance and two new permits that will apply food-safety rules found in restaurants to caterers hired to serve food at breweries, wineries and other businesses. Supervisor Dianne Jacob said the rules would be the first of their kind in California and
would serve as a model ordinance for other counties and cities. She also said they would help the county’s burgeoning winery and brewery industry grow even more. “(With) this ordinance our county will establish a lot more flexibility and opportunity for caterers, food vendors, wineries
and breweries,” said Jacob, who represents District 2 that includes Ramona and East County communities. “In the end it’s going to help to support, and enhance and expand our local farm and ag-tourism efforts that (we) have been so excited about.” The ordinance will allow

Sen. Joel Anderson honors unsung heroes Three Ramonans are among the 35 people nominated as heroes in California Senatorial District 38 represented by Sen. Joel Anderson. Anderson hosted a ceremony in his El Cajon District Office this month to honor those who were nominated by their neighbors in honor of California Heroes Month in September. In 2014, the state Senate and Assembly passed Anderson’s resolution that designated September as California Heroes Month to honor unsung heroes in each community. Out of the 35 nominated heroes, 27 heroes attended the ceremony to receive Senate certificates of recognition from Anderson for their commitment to helping others and their communities. The room was packed with at least 80 attendees, including the heroes’ families and friends. Each hero’s story was shared when his or her name was called, and Anderson took photos and thanked them for their good deeds while the crowd applauded. Woody Kirkman, president of the Ramona Town Hall Board of Trustees, is a fifth-generation Ramona resident who has been active in the community since youth.

The purpose of this open house is to hear different proposals and ideas
from constituents on how to make government work better, said Anderson. “Every year, we collect bill ideas, and it is common for us to get 500 to 700 bill ideas, and (California Heroes Month) was one of the bill ideas that we have received,” he said.

Board recognizes retiring employee, outgoing directors BY KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Municipal Water District directors recognized the retirement of a longtime employee and the service of two outgoing board members at their Nov. 8 meeting. Tom McKernan, the district’s purchasing/warehouse supervisor, is retiring at the beginning of December after 20 years with RMWD. McKernan was hired in October 1996 as purchasing and warehouse officer and “has been the district’s expert on procurement, purchasing agreements, inventory control, equipment and vehicle maintenance and district facilities management,” states the resolution of appreciation given to him by the board. The board also presented resolutions of appreciation to Division 1 Director Darrell Beck and Division 5 Director George Foote. Both declined to seek re-election with their terms ending in December. Beck, who was first elected in 2009, served as board president for three years and is currently vice president. Foote was elected in 2012 and has served as the board’s secretary and secretary/treasurer. Beginning in January, Division 1 will be represented by Jeff Lawler, who ran unopposed in the election. San Diego County Registrar of Voters unofficial election results show Bryan Wadlington, a former board member, winning the race for the Division 5 seat.

BUSINESS Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG
A Vision For Tomorrow
I
n September 2001, my family and I were buying a house north of Boston. Then 9/11 hit, scrambling everyone’s plans. Our initial reaction was to stop the transaction and hide until things settled down. But with a $15,000 deposit at risk, we saw little choice but to proceed with the purchase. Having consummated the deal, everything eventually sorted itself out. We picked up our lives and made a future we were happy with, including moving to San Diego County a year later. Flip forward to Mr. Trump’s stunning upset in the presidential election. Millions of voters unhappily watched the nation choose its new leader. In quick succession I heard people I respect talk seriously about fleeing the country or halting major new initiatives. Panic of the unknown and riots in the streets ensued. This was combined with wild gyrations in financial markets and comparisons to an American Brexit from sanity. If you’re one of these people, remember how much you have invested in your lives, communities, and businesses. You can’t just go blindly running off into the night, screaming. Because whether or not you’re pleased with the presidential election results, we all must deal with this
new reality. Furthermore, because of America’s reach and impact on virtually everything worldwide, there’s really no place to hide as the next four years unfold. Want the silver lining? It’s nine weeks until the new administration is seated. This provides you adequate time to revisit your marketing plan to reflect the prospect of a Trump administration. Reconsider your media choices, sales offerings, and audiences. If you truly believe your business will soon go downhill, plan to invest more in your marketing to counter that potential scenario. And what if you got the election results you wanted? You’d best quickly move beyond gloating and singing “Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead,” lest you offend customers who don’t see the world the same way you do. Bottom line: The election’s done. It’s time to focus once again on growing our businesses. The distraction caused by candidates sucking all the oxygen from the room with every utterance is rapidly being replaced with the minutiae associated with actually governing. As for me, I’m just grateful that Indecision 2016 is behind us, and look forward to a better tomorrow. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Vote for better marketing at www.askmrmarketing.com.

San Diego Gas & Electric and AT&T crews work on power pole repairs on Hanson Lane near Barnett Road after a pole was hit by a vehicle early last Wednesday morning.
Collisions cause power outages, chemical spill BY KAREN BRAINARD A Hazmat crew was called in after a three-vehicle collision, and San Diego Gas & Electric crews were kept busy repairing damaged power poles in two separate collisions, all taking place between Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, Nov. 15 and 16. The first occurred about 7:50 last Tuesday night, when a 26-year-old Ramona man, driving a 1999 Chevy Cavalier westbound on Steffy Lane, failed to stop at the T-intersection with Ashley Road and struck a utility pole and fence, according to California Highway Patrol. The man complained of pain to his legs and was medically cleared at Pomerado Hospital before being booked into San Diego Central Jail for driving under the influence, said CHP Public Information Officer Kevin Pearlstein. SDG&E reported that the damage to the utility pole caused a power outage for 47 customers. Power was restored by 10:20 the next morning. Just down the road on Hanson Lane, near Barnett Road, a driver made an unsafe turning movement and hit a utility pole around 2 a.m. last Wednesday, according to reports. Four
customers experienced a power outage that was restored by early afternoon, according to SDG&E. The Hazmat crew was called in that Wednesday morning when a GMC Sonoma spilled pool chemicals onto state Route 78 after it was involved in a collision, reported CHP. The 41-year-old man driving the GMC was southbound on Olive Street and ran a red light, hitting a 2008 Ford F-250, driven by a 33-year-old man traveling west on Route 78. The impact pushed the Ford into the eastbound lane, causing it to strike a 1996 Cherokee, driven by a 56-year-old man. The GMC driver was transported with a head injury. No one else was injured and all the drivers were from Ramona, said Pearlstein. On Thursday morning, Nov. 17, a 33-year-old woman was taken to Pomerado Hospital with back pain after she was in a collision on Mussey Grade Road that caused her 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse to roll over, said Pearlstein. The accident occurred at 8:10 a.m. when a 31-year-old man in a 1994 Geo Prism pulled out from Dos Picos Park Road onto Mussey Grade in front of the Eclipse, he said.

Bulldogs place fourth in CIF Gibson, Brown head to state BY DAN BROWN
KENSEY SAPPER
Sophomore Jack Clough, the season's top runner on the boys team, is at the 1-1/2 mile point in the Division 3 CIF championships.
Team finishes ninth at CIF BY DAN BROWN Ramona High School boys cross-country runners finished ninth out of the 18 Division 3 teams competing at the San Diego CIF Championships on Saturday. The Bulldogs competed on the hilly 3.1 mile course at Morley Field in San Diego. Six of the top seven runners are sophomores and had only one runner returning from last season. Jack Clough, who has been the top runner all season, finished his campaign with a 23rd place finish out of 125 runners. His time of 17:56 was somewhat of a disappointment for him. Clough said he felt the team was “Ready for it, but we did not do as well as we wanted to as a team. We’re all sophomores and we’re young, so we have a good future ahead of us.” Cameron Klein was Ramona’s second finisher with a time of 18:26, good for 36th place. Other finishers included Mitchell Sutter (48th place) 18:54, Billy Miller (63rd place) 19:22,
Colton Meskell, Ramona’s only senior (73rd place) 19:38, Gavin Roche (79th place) 19:50 and Colin Duffy (114th place) 21:54. “I don’t think any of the boys were happy with their times today,” said Ramona head coach Sherri Edwards. “They may have peaked in their last race. Their times all improved week before. Sometimes as a coach I am at a loss as to what causes kids to have good days and bad days. “We’re such a young team. We have a good core group of sophomores. Hopefully if we can talk to some others kids to coming out for the team and do a little more training, we can return to those teams that went to state in 2011, 2012 and 2014.” Clough and Sutter will conclude their running season Saturday, Dec. 3, when they compete at the Footlocker Race at Mt. San Antonio College. They will take the next couple of weeks off after that and begin training for track season in the spring.
Of the 14 teams competing in the San Diego CIF Division 3 Cross-Country Championships on Saturday, Ramona High School’s girls placed fourth. This is the highest finish for a Ramona girls team at CIF since 2003, when Ramona competed in Division 2. It also marks the first time since 1992 that Ramona has sent more the one female runner to the meet. In 1992, Erin Killian and Pat Beltran qualified for state. Gwendalyn Gibson qualified for her second consecutive state cross-country meet, finishing third overall with a time of 16:24 over the hilly 2.75-mile course at San Diego’s Morley Field. That puts her on the all CIF team for San Diego. Her time was an improvement of 1:03 from last year’s race when she finished 11th. Gibson ran with the lead pack through the first mile

McKenna Brown, also from La Costa Canyon, finished second with a time of 16:23, 1 second ahead of Gibson. La Costa Canyon is ranked No. 2 in the state in Division 3. “I was really happy with my race,” said Gibson. “This was

the closest I’ve been to them all season (Fahey and Brown). I am looking forward to racing against them again at the State Meet next week. I am really excited to go back to state and end my senior year like that. Next week I hope to keep up with the La Costa Canyon girls. A top 10 is what I am looking for.” Gibson was expected to go to state, but Ramona’s second finisher, Amy Brown, a freshman, was a surprise. Brown, who was ranked in the top 20 in Division 3, finished 14th overall with a time of 17:46. She was the last individual qualifier in that race. She is also the first freshman girl from Ramona to qualify for the State Meet since the State Meet qualifying format was changed in 1987. Ramona’s next finisher was another freshman, Michaela Meskell. It was Meskell’s highest finish this season. She

Prep Boys Water Polo
Prep Girls Volleyball
Dawgs lose in first Missing players cost team round of playoffs state playoff game BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s boys water polo team was on the losing end of the first round of CIF Division 2 playoffs. The Bulldogs, the 10th-seeded team, played Rancho Bernardo, the seventh seed, in the away game that ended with an 11-6 score. "We got off to a slow start and they got off pretty strong. We kept fighting," said Ramona coach Donnie Williams. "We struggled to be effective on offense at times." The Broncos held leads of 4-1 after the first quarter and 8-3 at halftime. "They were able to deny us scoring opportunities," Williams said. The score after three periods was 11-5. "They were definitely a stronger team," Williams said. "They had a little bit more depth." Ramona had 11 players during the playoffs, including two who had been called up from the junior varsity. Ramona began the season with 11 varsity players, but injuries kept some of them out of the pool for extended periods. "I think the injuries had a big effect on us," Williams said. "I think it affected the continuity." The Bulldogs' final season record was 13-14, including the playoff loss. Ramona's 2-3 record in Valley League play gave them fourth place in the standings. "I thought it was a decent season," Williams said. Seven of the Ramona players are seniors, one is a junior, and three varsity players along with some taxi squad members are sophomores. "I think the younger players really developed quite a bit," Williams said.
BY JOE NAIMAN The absence of too many starters cost the Ramona High girls volleyball team the first-round CIF state playoff match at home against Pasadena's Westridge School. "They still played like the same team. They just didn't have quite the experience on the floor," said Ramona coach Connie Halfaker. The Bulldogs had been without junior opposite hitter Amanda Donais since she left the Sept. 27 Valley League opener against San Pasqual with a knee injury. Senior middle blocker Natalie Seol had been battling tonsillitis during the season and had her tonsils removed Nov. 16, the same date as the state playoff match. Ramona still won the first two sets against Westridge, but late in the third game senior outside hitter Karina Martinez tore her Achilles tendon. The Tigers won the third set and then won the final two games to advance to the Southern Region quarterfinals. "The girls were so very, very full of heart, so very full of devotion to one another and teamwork. It was hard to walk away with any disappointment," Halfaker said.

"The girls played really, really well," Halfaker said. "It was one of the strongest team efforts that you can imagine." Ramona began the match with 25-21 and 25-14 victories. "We were hitting strong in game three," Halfaker said. Martinez's injury disrupted that success. "It's tough to keep the rhythm going," Halfaker said. "It's a game of flow and a game of momentum. That little bit was enough to turn it." Alyssa Travis, who is normally an opposite hitter, took over for Martinez as an outside hitter. Travis was also battling illness as she played. "She gave it everything she had," Halfaker had. Westridge won the third game by a 25-20 score. The Tigers took an eight-point lead early in the fourth set. "They made a good defensive adjustment," Halfaker said. "We adjusted back. We came back very strong." The Bulldogs were not able to close the deficit enough to stave off a 25-22 Westridge victory, which set up a fifth and deciding set. Neither team obtained a significant lead
early in game five. "It was tied all the way," Halfaker said. The Tigers eventually leveraged a 13-11 lead into a 15-11 victory. Junior outside hitter McKenna Marshall led the Bulldogs with 19 kills, senior opposite hitter Morgann Wilson had 18 kills in her final high school match while committing only one hitting error in 40 swings for a hitting percentage of .425, and sophomore middle blocker Gracie Seits had 15 kills. Seits recorded nine blocks with Marshall providing four blocks. Marshall had three serving aces and senior setter Sammy Shupe served for two aces. Shupe set for 51 assists and also led the team with 18 digs; senior libero Katie Flinn concluded her high school career with 15 digs and Marshall added 14 digs. The Bulldogs concluded the 2016 season with an overall record of 28-9, including an 8-0 Valley League performance which provided the Bulldogs with their third consecutive league championship. "If you have given all you have, the outcome is not in our hands," Halfaker said. "I'm very, very proud of them."

Rain, Wind and Fire… “The three menaces to any chimney, fireplace or stove.”
Webelos 2 Scouts, from left, Patrick Osio, Charlie Williams, Roman Webster, James Whalen and Scott Case share their water wise and be prepared suggestions with the community.
Webelos develop a plan As part of a water conservation project, members of Ramona Cub Scout Pack 678’s Webelos 2 developed a list of ways to be water wise and to be prepared for emergencies such as wildfire and earthquake. Webelos, which stands for We’ll Be Loyal Scouts, is a rank in Scouting before a Cub Scout joins a Boy Scout Troop. The five boys — Scott Case, Patrick Osio, Roman Webster, James Whalen and Charlie Williams — are fifth-graders in Pack 678’s Den 11. Matthew Case and Todd Whalen are their den leaders. Part of their project is to interact with the community. One way, they decided, is to share their research and suggestions with the community to encourage everyone to be more conscious of their water use as well as be better prepared for an emergency. Following are the suggestions they compiled as a result of their research: 10 Ways to be Water-Wise In the home: 1. Turn off the water while brushing your teeth, washing your hands 2. Take shorter showers and/or turn off the water while lathering soap or washing hair, turn back on to rinse 3. Wash only full loads in your dishwasher or washing machine (don’t run it when it’s only half full) 4. When washing dishes by hand, use a tub for rinse water (or 2nd side of double basin sink) instead of letting water run to rinse. 5. Minimize use of garbage disposals in sinks. Scrape food into trash, or better yet, start a compost bin with compostable materials. Outdoors: 1. Check for leaks. Use your water meter. Read it before and after a 2 hour time window where you have not used any water. If there are any changes in the reading, there is a leak somewhere. 2. Insulate your pipes. Relatively easy with pre-slit pipe insulation and relatively low cost. Will get you hot water quicker, and thereby avoid wasting water while you let it run waiting for it to heat up. 3. Modify landscape using xeriscape methods and utilize succulents/drought tolerant plants 4. Use a broom to clean off walkways/driveways, rather than a hose
5. Be Water Wise in your landscaping: a. Use a programmable time to irrigate landscaping. b. Program watering to occur in early morning or later evening hours to avoid the midday sun from evaporating the water off the plants. c. Be sure sprinklers are adjusted properly to target only plants without overflow to sidewalk or rock areas. d. Use mulch to help maintain moisture in the ground and reduce frequency of watering e. Catch rainwater and reuse to water plants WAYS TO PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES STOCK UP! 1. Have 1 gallon of water, per person, per day on hand. 2. Non-perishable food items (enough to feed each person in your home for 3-5 days) Don’t forget to include a manual can opener! 3. Keep at least a 7-10 day supply of necessary medications with your emergency kit. Keep a card with all current medication names, dosing, and reason for taking each medication. 4. Emergency Supplies that are good to have on hand in an easy to get to location: a. Multipurpose tool b. Flashlights c. Extra batteries d. Lighter e. Water resistant matches f. Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil g. Whistle h. Pocketknife i. Emergency blankets j. A radio k. Heavy duty gloves l. First Aid Kit m. Sanitiation/personal hygenie items PETS! 1. Keep an extra supply of food on hand for all pets you have. Don’t forget to store water for your animals as well. 2. Make a plan for your animals too. a. If you plan to bring your animals with you, consider how you will transport them (have necessary carriers/leashes/harnesses/trailers, etc. on hand). b. Know places you can take your animals SEE WEBELOS, A20

Other finishers included Lexi Waples (41) 19:03, Gracie Knowd (51) 19:38, Madison Huckey (52) 19:41, and Marissa Talle (63) 20:31. “All week I was looking at the numbers and hoping this team would be able to finish third and qualify for state as a team,” said coach Sherri Edwards. “I think deep down in my heart I did not think we were going to be able to overtake University City (the third place team). Then I set my focus on hoping that all my girls would run their personal bests and feel good about their last race. I knew Gwen would probably be in the top five, next I was hoping that Amy would be able
FROM CALTRANS, A1 made when their mother, the late Margaret McWhorter, was elderly and living there. Jim McWhorter said the county told them a driveway on Highland Valley Road had to be 200 feet from the intersection. That caused them to have to cross a small triangular piece of adjacent county-owned property to reach their land, but Jim said the county gave verbal consent to do so. That triangular piece is part of a county-owned remnant, less than an acre, from the 1992 Highland Valley Road realignment, according to documents. When Caltrans said it would need about 1.2 acres of their property for the intersection improvements, which includes 8,000 feet of frontage on Highway 67 and land along Highland Valley Road, the siblings said they felt they should sell what was needed. That was what their father, the late James McWhorter, had done when the county needed about an acre of his property for the 1992 road realignment, they said. Caltrans, however, advised the family that to voluntarily sell they needed to probate the Margaret McWhorter Trust, which owns the property, since Barbara died during the negotiations period, the McWhorters said. They hired a probate attorney who began looking into it and, after spending about $3,500 in attorney’s fees, were told the requested probate had not been necessary. In the midst of that, they learned the state transportation agency had filed a court case for eminent domain. That’s when they also discovered their property along Highland Valley Road
to make the top 14 and qualify for the state meet with Gwen. “And what happened today was not expected. The order of the girls team got all mixed up. Marisa, our number 3 runner, was not feeling well and had a tough race. Our number 6/7 runner, Michaela, had a great race, Lexi was solid right behind Michaela. Overall I was really happy with how the girls raced. I think if we get a couple of key people to come out next season we could be in the top three and go to state next year.” The State CIF championships are Saturday, Dec. 3, in Fresno at 1:20 pm. Edwards said she is hoping for a top 10 finish for Gibson and that Brown gains experience and becomes a leader for future teams.
wasn’t just for road widening but also for a large bioswale for drainage, according to the family. The McWhorters said the bioswale, which would prevent access to Highland Valley Road, had not been disclosed. Caltrans offered to construct a bridge over the bioswale but later retracted that, the siblings said. “We’re good people. We’re fair people…but we feel like we’re being damaged by being good,” said Jim. “We just want fair compensation,” said Candy. “We want growth and infrastructure. We’re not trying to be ‘nimbies’ (not in my back yard).” Polly said the loss of the Highland Valley access could cause the value of their property to drop as much as 60 percent. “Without that safe access, it will plummet,” she said. Candy said they fought with Caltrans to get a center turn lane on Highway 67 in front of the house and were successful, but believe that access will be dangerous because they will have to cross two lanes of traffic when the improvements are completed. According to court documents, the McWhorter family received a call from the county in March with an offer to sell them the adjacent .82-acre parcel for $106,000. In comparison, Caltrans’ appraiser valued the 1.2 acres of McWhorter property at $59,000, they said. The McWhorters said the price of the .82-acre parcel, zoned A70 for limited agricultural, has been reduced. The county has it listed as surplus property with a minimum bid price of $90,000. The county’s Department of Public Works said it cannot find any documents
showing it granted the McWhorters access for a driveway on that parcel. “After reviewing our records, we were unable to find any encroachment permits for the driveway, nor could we find records of an easement granting access from Highland Valley Road,” DPW staff said in a statement to the Sentinel. “Staff will be reaching out to the McWhorters to discuss potential options if they would like to continue using the county-owned parcel.” The McWhorters said they also learned the county sold its property with the Ramona monument sign at the northeast corner of SR-67 and Highland Valley Road for $1,500 to the Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church, which is building a church campus on the adjacent property. They questioned the difference in price. According to county staff, that parcel was only .29 acres and is not a buildable lot so the price was full market value. In contrast, the county said, the .82-ace parcel is a buildable lot. Caltrans took possession of the McWhorter frontage at the end of January, court documents state. The McWhorters said they have already spent about $50,000 in attorney fees and going to court to defend themselves in Caltrans’ eminent domain case will cost them even more. The trial is scheduled for Dec. 9 in San Diego Superior Court. “The risk is, it’s all up to a judge,” said Candy, noting there will be no jury. The family said they are asking for safe access from Highland Valley Road and reimbursement of attorney fees and unnecessary fees that they have paid. “We need to be made whole so we aren’t losing anything,” said Candy.

FROM WINERIES, A7 equipment for proper hygiene. The ordinance is scheduled to be heard again by the board Dec. 14 for a second reading and public hearing. The ordinance would then take effect in 30 days if the board approves the second reading. The County’s Department of Environmental Health recommended the new rules after conducting a three-month pilot study of 25 catering events at 10 wineries, 13 breweries and two private functions. The board approved the study in May at Jacob’s recommendation. Environmental health staff reported Wednesday that they saw three common problems during the study that could increase bacteria and the potential for people to get sick with food-borne illnesses. They included food servers using ice coolers, which warm up when ice melts, rather than portable refrigerators, to try to keep cold foods chilled; and not having ready access to sinks to wash utensils, equipment and food-servers’ hands. The study found that less than one-half of food servers in the study had access to proper sinks. The board’s action Wednesday will create two new types of permits. Breweries, wineries and other businesses that want to use caterers to provide their customers’
County supervisors propose new rules to ensure food safety at wineries and breweries. food will have to get “host facility” permits that ensure they have readily accessible sinks for food servers to clean utensils, equipment and their hands, as well as electricity, hot water and commercial bathrooms. Caterers will be allowed to get “direct sales catering” permits that will expand the traditional definition of “catering” from just serving private affairs to being able to sell directly to the public. The permits will require caterers to have refrigeration and hand washing. Gig Conaughton writes for the County of San Diego Communications Office.

YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On December 28, 2016 at 10:30 AM, at the entrance to the East County Regional Center by statue, 250 E. Main Street, El Cajon, CA 92020, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on January 13, 2015 as Instrument No. 2015-0014108, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County, California, executed by CHARLOTTE M. SNOW, A MARRIED WOMAN, AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for LOANDEPOT.COM, LLC as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 511 F ST, RAMONA, CA 92065 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $357,539.84 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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
one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0800444915-1. 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.

Dianne’s Corner BY SUPERVISOR DIANNE JACOB
Help for dry wells Taking flight: I recently joined East County business leaders for a special groundbreaking next to Gillespie Field. We formally kicked off the first stage of construction for the Cajon Air Center, a planned, 70-acre hub of new hangers and other aviation-related businesses. The massive project is expected to create 1,200 jobs during construction and 440 permanent positions after that. That’s a huge plus for our East County economy – jobs, jobs, jobs! Major road improvements near Gillespie are also in the works. The
Board of Supervisors last year jump-started funding to improve the Bradley Avenue and state Route 67 interchange. Construction will be overseen by the state and could start as soon as next year. Grand openings: Ribbon-cutting ceremonies are one of the best parts of my job. It’s great to see so many wonderful projects opening across our community. I recently helped cut the ribbon at ceremonies marking the completion of a new track at Oak Grove Middle School in Jamul, an athletic field at
STEAM Academy in Spring Valley and new memory care units at Noah Homes in Rancho San Diego, the first of their kind in the state. The county helped fund each project. Tapped out: Help is now available through the county for property owners with dry wells due to drought. Those who qualify can receive low-interest loans to replace individual water well systems and install temporary water tanks. The assistance is not for landscaping or agricultural needs. For more information, email the County Office of Emergency Services at readysd@sdcounty.ca.gov or call 858-565-3490. For more District 2 news, go to www.diannejacob.com or follow me on Facebook and Twitter.

Man, 87, arrested in shooting at mobile home park Deputies from the sheriff’s Ramona station responded to a call of a shooting in Ramona Terrace Estates mobile home park, 1212 H St., at 1:42 a.m. Friday, which led to the arrest of an 87-year-old man, reported the sheriff’s department. When deputies arrived, they found an injured victim who said the suspect, Don Aspin, was inside the residence and was armed with a hand gun and a rifle, stated Sgt. Mark Knierim. The suspect
reportedly fired several rounds from inside his bedroom, through his bedroom door, and one of the rounds struck the victim in the leg, the sergeant said. ASTREA and deputies from the Poway station assisted with setting up a perimeter and deputies made several announcements for the suspect to come out of the residence. After about 20 minutes, Aspin came out and was taken into custody, said the sheriff’s
department. He was transported to San Diego Central Jail and booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, according to the report. Aspin was being held on $50,000 bond and his arraignment was scheduled for Nov. 22.

Four easy care gardening trends for holiday season BY MELINDA MYERS Dress up the holidays or give gifts that continue giving throughout the year with these low maintenance gardening trends. Just add a little fun, classic beauty or style to make it even more memorable now and throughout the year. Terrariums. These mini greenhouses continue to grow in popularity and are perfect for new or timid gardeners. Just plant a few small tropical plants, moisten the soil, close the lid, and you have a self-contained growing chamber. Show off your green thumb with a modern, classic or vintage style vessel. Use the Gazebo Tabletop terrarium, classic bell jar or other mini garden as a centerpiece for the dining table or buffet. Or create a miniature garden in glass to give as a hostess gift. When the party is over, it’s a great memento of a fun holiday gathering. Succulents. Growing succulents is another low maintenance garden trend that is perfect for busy gardeners during the hectic holiday season. Just place them in a sunny window and water whenever the soil is dry. It’s truly as easy as that. The small scale cacti and succulents provide a multitude of opportunities for incorporating them into your holiday celebrations. You won’t need much space to enjoy the subtle colors and dramatic form of these drought tolerant plants. Just select containers that complement, but don’t overpower their charm. Consider buying a few extras for guests to take home and enjoy for years to come. But first, use them to dress up the table by making them into place cards for your guests. Simply add a name to the decorative pot. Or display them all together in a copper plant tray (gardeners.com), terra cotta saucer or other shallow container to use as a centerpiece throughout the evening. When the party is
over, each guest can pick their own plant to take home. Air Plants. Unique air plants are all the rage and could certainly be described as the definitive easy care plant. Many are native to rain forests where they grow in the canopy of trees, gathering water and nutrients that pass by. No soil is needed for these versatile plants. Just hang them in a bright location and soak in tepid non-softened water once every week or two. Display them in an open terrarium, shell, or another decorative container. They make great centerpieces or stunning displays. Pothos, Philodendron and Ivy. These plants have long been low maintenance favorites of the indoor garden. This year, consider dressing them up for the holidays with sparkling garland, artificial flowers, berries and greens. Or display them in unique containers, baskets or hangers. Go retro and macramé a colorful hanger for your favorite hanging basket. Or place the pot in an earthy woven basket, sleek plastic pot or classic Round Copper Wire Globe hanging basket. Add some fairy lights for a bit more sparkle on long winter nights. Make this holiday season warm and memorable with the help of these low maintenance garden trends and plants. You, your family and friends will enjoy their beauty, charm and easy care nature throughout the new year ahead. Melinda Myers, a columnist and contributing editor for Birds & Blooms magazine, has 30 years of horticulture experience and has written 20 gardening books, including “Small Space Gardening.” She hosts The Great Courses “How to Grow Anything: Food Gardening For Everyone” DVD set and the nationally syndicated Melinda’s Garden Moment TV and radio segments.
