Santa, with Ramona Chamber of Commerce Director Bob Krysak dressed in his top hat and Dickens of a Christmas outfit, encourages early arrivals to give a hearty “Ho! Ho! Ho!” to mark the chamber’s lighting of the Ramona Christmas Tree in Collier Park just after 5:30 p.m. Saturday. An estimated 150 people arrived for a chance to share their Christmas wishes and to have their photo taken with Santa Claus. The chamber rescheduled a scaled-down version of the event when wind and rain forced the cancellation of the 21st annual celebration a week earlier. The tree will be lit every night through New Year’s Eve. For more photos, see www.ramonasentinel.com.
With its employee union contract expiring Dec. 31, the Ramona Municipal Water District directors approved a new four-year contract that gives employees a 2 percent annual raise and increases employee contributions to pensions. A state law requires the increased employee pension contributions. The contract also guarantees an annual cost of living increase (COLA) of 1 percent minimum and 3 percent maximum. The new contract, effective Jan. 1, 2014, was announced after a closed session at the board’s Dec. 10 meeting.

Density too high, planners tell prospective developer Rose sentencing
School roof donations top $5,200 Friends of Ramona Unified Schools received $708.21 in donations this week, bringing the total to $5,231.21 toward the $20,000 goal to repair roofs at several schools. Donation canisters are in many Ramona businesses. Checks may be made payable to FORUS Roof Project and mailed to: Dave Patterson, FORUS Roof Project chairman, 1003 Sixth St., Ramona, CA 92065. Ramona roofers interested in helping may contact Greg Chick, 760788-2889 or greg@ramonasplumber. com.
sity would be permitted, according to Anderson, is to make the apartment complex affordable housing or senior housing. The architect’s design includes some buildings in the interior section that would be three-story.
Planner Torry Brean, who is also a member of the Ramona Village Design Group that has developed a draft plan of custom zoning for the town center, said that document limits three-story buildings to certain parcels and this is not one of them.
Caltrans to drivers: Watch for rural highway work Caltrans advises motorists to be alert for the landscaping work that is taking place on several rural highways through Monday, Dec. 22, as crews prepare for the next fire season. Moving lane closures will take place intermittently on state routes 76, 78, 79, 94 and 188 in both directions daily from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Route 78 work will be from 10th and Main in Ramona east toward Julian about 25 miles. Work will move onto highway shoulders where possible to minimize traffic impacts. Drivers may experience minor delays in the work zones and are advised to
plan accordingly. Motorists are reminded to slow down and safely move over a lane when Caltrans or other emergency vehicles are displaying flashing amber lights. It’s the law.

delayed till Jan. 3 By NEAL PUTNAM Teresa Rose, 57, a Ramona real estate agent, will be sentenced Jan. 3 after receiving a delay in U.S. District Court in San Diego. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in 2012. The sentencing for Rose has been delayed several times before Judge John Houston. She remains free on $50,000 bond. Her guilty pleas represented actions that occurred in 2006 to 2007. Rose and three others were charged with carrying out a mortgage loan
fraud by recruiting investors via ads to purchase homes in Ramona and elsewhere as straw buyers who were promised $10,000. Her attorney, Michael Lipman, said earlier that Rose was duped by a codefendant. Lipman said she didn’t receive any illegal profits, and that she pleaded guilty “based on limited conduct that occurred in the 2006 to 2007 time period involving nine transactions in Ramona.” Rose faces a maximum term of five years in federal prison, but could get probation if she pays restitution.
On the Agenda Thursday, Dec. 19 Ramona Unified School District board, 7 p.m., Wilson Administrative Center, 720 Ninth St. Among agenda items: First interim budget report, formation of a surplus property advisory committee, bids to renovate Ramona High baseball and softball fields, district’s Common Core website, Common Core State Standards spending plan, approval of three technology and engineering courses for Ramona High
and Olive Peirce Middle schools, Ramona Community School report on Common Core, and reports from employee unions, superintendent, student board members and Sun Valley Council PTA. Ramona Design Review Board, 7:30 p.m., Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. The board is seeking candidates for four of the nine board seats. Those interested should attend the meeting.

Ramona Community Planning Group members advised a developer who wants to build apartments on 16th Street that he needs to lower his density to comply with the town’s community plan. The opinions matched those of the Ramona Design Review Board two weeks earlier when Casey Malone of Lansing Companies, San Diego, and his architect presented a preliminary proposal for a 60-unit apartment complex next to the Ramona Lutheran Church and School on
16th Street. Malone said the county’s general plan allows 24 units per acre at the 2.5acre site, but design review board member Chris Anderson told him the Ramona Community Plan only permits 7.3 units an acre in that area. The community plan overrides the general plan, she said. Anderson reiterated that information at the planning group’s meeting this month after Malone and his architect showed their ideas for multifamily housing with an Old California courtyard design.

Lakeside man to stand trial in San Vicente Road fatality By NEAL PUTNAM A 19-year-old Lakeside driver who said he took his eyes off San Vicente Road for 10 seconds when something spilled in his car was ordered to stand trial for vehicular manslaughter in the Aug. 29 death of Kenneth Frederick Crane, a Ramona resident. A March 10 trial was set for Garrett Michael Sparks, who pleaded not guilty at the end of the preliminary hearing before El Cajon Superior Court Judge Lantz Lewis last Wednesday. Sparks also is charged with crossing a double yellow line in the 7:42 p.m. collision. Neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor in the collision as California Highway Patrol officers testified Sparks was given a sobriety test. He remains free on $50,000 bond. CHP officer Brian Kattke testified the cause of the crash was “inattention and driving left of the double yellow lines” on San Vicente Road. Crane, 74,
died at the accident scene. San Vicente Road has a lot of curves, and fatal accidents have occurred on it, said Kattke. A week earlier an 18-year-old woman died in a one-vehicle accident on the same road. Kattke said there are other accidents that occur on San Vicente Road and there is little lighting at night. CHP Officer Michael Edwards testified that Sparks
told him a whipped cream dispenser and a number of canisters fell from the front passenger seat and he took his eyes off the road for about 10 seconds to try to retrieve them. Edwards told the judge the red 2007 Ford Ranger that Sparks was driving had turned 6 feet into the opposing lane, crashing into the red Ford Ranger driven by Crane. Sparks’
vehicle turned on its side and a tire was sheared off. The airbag in Crane’s vehicle did not deploy, said Kattke. There were no skid marks at the scene, and the judge remarked that Sparks made no attempt to hit the brakes. Edwards said there were no mechanical defects in Sparks’ vehicle. He said the crash occurred because Sparks was “not
paying attention to the road as he was approaching a curve.” Kattke said Sparks denied using the whipped cream dispenser to inhale any fumes while driving. He said Sparks admitted to inhaling fumes and smoking marijuana about 24 hours earlier. Kattke said he checked Sparks’ eyes and pupils and found he was not
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He said there was no speech impairment. Sparks seemed a little “dazed” after the collision, he said. Sparks had some trouble getting out of his Ford Ranger, and another motorist cut his seat belt so he could get out. He was driving to see his girlfriend in Escondido that night, according to officials.
Three plead guilty to felony vandalism in graffiti spree By NEAL PUTNAM A 19-year-old Ramona man who pleaded guilty to felony vandalism in graffiti damages that exceed $10,000 will be sentenced Jan. 6. Skyler Paschke was one of three people arrested Oct. 25 and charged with graffiti damages in Ramona and Poway. All three were associated with a group called Making Art Daily (MAD), according to the sheriff’s department. Paschke, who remains free on $20,000 bond, faces up to a year in jail and could be ordered to pay damages when he is sentenced by El Cajon Superior Court Judge Charles Ervin.
The MAD group targeted businesses, libraries, churches, schools and private property with spray paint, permanent markers and etching devices from Jan. 20 to Oct. 9. A five-month investigation by sheriff’s deputies looked into 131 incidents of graffiti in Ramona and Poway that caused $82,000 in damages. Michael Gene Davis, 19, of Chula Vista, pleaded guilty to committing felony vandalism that exceeds $10,000 in damages. He was sentenced to four days in jail, a fine of $1,324, and a suspended one year jail term, according to court records. Davis, a former Ramona resident,

lost his driver’s license for two years and was placed on three years probation. Ervin ordered him not to possess tagging tools such as spray paint or markers while on probation. Cameron Benge, 19, of San Diego, also pleaded guilty to felony vandalism. He was sentenced by Judge Daniel Goldstein to 25 days in jail and to pay $500 to RAE Automotive and $152 to a resident, court records say. Benge, also a former Ramona resident, was fined $1,324 and ordered to complete 30 hours of volunteer work at a nonprofit organization by Feb. 18, 2014. He has
finished his jail term and also was banned from possessing tagging tools for three years. “I did unlawfully and maliciously cause damage to business property by putting graffiti on property that caused more than $10,000 destruction,” wrote Benge in court records. Each pleaded guilty to committing felony vandalism over the period of time with $10,000 in damages instead of individual counts of tagging, which would be misdemeanors. If they violate probation terms, they could get more jail time. Charges were dropped against an 18-year-old woman who also was arrested.

Detectives from the sheriff’s Ramona station served three search warrants on residences in the City of San Diego where members of a burglary ring that had ventured into Ramona were known to be living, reported the sheriff’s department. “The ring was primarily using rental vehicles to burglarize equipment rental and maintenance yards, including the One Stop Equipment yard in Ramona in November of 2013,” said Sgt. William Hout in a news release. On Nov. 27, about $2,400 worth of power tools at One Stop Equipment and Sales, was stolen. Lt. James Bovet of the Ramona station said they suspect a burglary on Nov. 26 at Piva Equipment Services in Ramona, when $11,700 worth of construction equipment was stolen, was part of the ring. He could not confirm on Monday if any of the stolen equipment was recovered. The search warrants were served on Dec. 12, after a three-week investigation by the Ramona station and the San Diego Police Department. Ramona detectives seized stolen property, methamphetamine, cocaine, hash oil, narcotic prescription medications and made five arrests, said Hout. None of those arrested were from Ramona, according to Bovet. The burglary ring is believed to be responsible for about 20 burglaries during the past year, most in the City of San Diego, said the sheriff’s department. Ranging from daytime to nighttime burglaries, the losses totaled in the tens of thousands of dollars, stated Hout. The warrants were served at 4944 Rebel Road and 3249 Luna Ave. in San Diego. A suspect linked to a home on Indian Way in San Diego is still outstanding, according to officials. Arrested were Christina Mutascio-Zykwa and Loriann Martinez, suspected of conspiracy and commercial burglary; Robert Zykwa, suspected of possession of a narcotic con-

Neighbors of SDG&E solar project ask for paved road By KAREN BRAINARD Several neighbors of San Diego Gas & Electric’s Creelman Lane substation conceded they probably can’t stop the utility from building a solar array at the site, so they instead have a request: pave the dirt road leading to it. That, however, may not be so easily accomplished, an SDG&E official told them. Representatives for SDG&E presented Ramona Community Planning Group with its plans to build a 5-megawatt solar photovoltaic project on about 16 acres of its 37acre site at Creelman Lane and Ashley Street. The energy produced, said to be enough for approximately 1,000 homes, would connect to the local electrical grid, said SDG&E. Ian Stewart, SDG&E regional public affairs manager, said the solar project will contribute to the state’s mandate for the utility to obtain 33 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2020. Resident
Pam Ayers noted that Ashley is one lane and Creelman is a dirt road where vehicles create a lot of dust. “We have a severe health problem here,” she said, adding that the road is out of line, with some of it passing over private property. “You’re going to have trucks up and down there,” Creelman Lane resident Bob Romeo said of construction and maintenance of the facility. He referred to all the vehicles at the solar farm going in at Ramona Street and Warnock Drive — a project approved by the county despite opposition from neighbors and the planning group. “The bottom line is health, aesthetics — we’d just like it paved,” Romeo said. Stewart noted that this is an SDG&E project, separate from Sempra Energy, and regulated by California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Anything SDG&E would propose needs CPUC approval and, because major infrastructure project costs are passed through to ratepayers, regu-

lators could determine paving the road would make the project too expensive and would unnecessarily burden customers, said an SDG&E spokesperson. Creelman Lane residents had additional concerns and complaints. Ayers, who lives above the transmission station and will look down at the solar installation, as will other neighbors, said she worries about glare from the panels. Romeo complained about SDG&E leaving poles laying around. Homeowner Vicky Tate said the utility acquired the property in 1969 by condemnation and has not been a good neighbor. Stewart said he was disturbed to hear SDG&E was not a good neighbor and would look into the issues. Planner Donna Myers, who lives across from the Sol Orchard solar project at Warnock Drive and Ramona Street, had some advice for the Creelman Lane neighbors: get everything in writing. Myers said homeowners in her area were told construction workers

would work eight hours a day, five days a week, but they are there 11 hours a day and work six days a week. “The noise is incredible. The dust is incredible. They have gone through rock,” she said, mimicking the drilling sound, “day after day after day when there was supposedly no rock.” Myers said developers said they would use 47 acres but have destroyed
110 acres. “Nothing that they promised us has happened,” she said. In addition, local people lost out on job opportunities because the contractors used outside labor, said Myers. A Los Angeles company put in fencing improperly and the cattle on the land kept getting out, she added. Several at the meeting said they don’t want Ramo-
na to become a dumping ground for solar farms. RCPG member Chad Anderson pointed out that years ago California residents thought renewable energy was a good idea. Now, no one wants it in their backyard, he said. Chair Jim Piva, noting this will be Ramona’s second solar farm, asked how many communities that are less rural, such as Rancho Santa Fe and Carlsbad, are getting similar solar projects. “We’re not happy we’re getting all the solar attention,” said Piva. Stewart said La Jolla has one on a large roof structure because it doesn’t have room on the ground. Along with Ramona, SDG&E is also proposing solar projects in Valley Center and Pala. A representative for the SDG&E project said they anticipate applying for a major use permit from the county in January, since the area is over 10 acres. They also plan to put fencing and landscaping around the solar to screen it as much as possible.

I
t’s true that shopping online can save a lot of time and trouble but online shopping comes with a new set of hazards. Here are some tips from the Ramona Sheriff’s Station to make it safer when using your laptop or smartphone to find those gifts: When using your computer: •Update your browser and your antivirus and malware protection software. •Don’t click unknown links in your email. •Shop at home and on a secured network.

Sentinel Reader Opinion Let’s consider the reason for the season (In response to Shop where they wish you Merry Christmas) “The reason for the season.” Can we reflect on that just for a minute? There are, whether you like it or not, many reasons for the season. No matter which of the reasons you might choose, all or none, the basic and glaring fact is this very one. All of the reasons for the joy of the season share a similar point and theme: be good to your fellow man, whether they are good to you or not, for the winter is long and the New Year is that which can only come with the promise of Spring. My point in responding is to remind you that the reason for the season, no matter which reason you choose, is to come together, to enjoy your fellow human beings’ companionship, to appreciate friends, family and unfamiliars equally. Maybe you do this by buying gifts, or donating to a charity, or wishing Happy Christmas or Merry Hanukkah un-judgingly and with a heart truly full of joy and good will. The fact of the matter is have a HAPPY ______. Let those you wish well fill the blanks in for themselves. The message is there, peace and joy, goodwill to all. The way you most certainly do not do this is by lashing out at some poor girl in a shop because she so heartlessly and thoughtlessly expressed her wish for you to have a happy wrong kind of holiday. You definitely do not wish goodwill to someone by telling them what they should say to you. You definitely do not spread peace on earth and joy to all by loudly and ignorantly blasting the community with your decision to only shop
at local businesses that dictate how their employees should well wish their patrons. It seems to me that those who complain about how someone wishes them a joyfilled holiday are unfortunately afflicted with what the medical industry describes as “a heart two sizes too small.” Happy Holidays! Chris Ostermann Ramona
Freedom of speech, one of our greatest freedoms
RE: Letter to editor, Nov. 28, by Wm. Gibson: ”We’re not all rednecks.” Sir: “Blatant Tea Party letters?” REALLY?! You should (if you believe) get down on your knees and thank God we live in a country where we are all allowed to voice our opinion without retribution, and also thank the Ramona Sentinel for the good sense to publish both sides of the political spectrum. Freedom of speech is one of our greatest freedoms, even though you do not agree with the “other side”; which is also a great freedom we all enjoy here in the United States of America. I consider myself to be a “Ramona old-timer,” as you say, and I am offended that you would insinuate that any of us in this wonderful town would be “fooled to think we are all illiterate rednecks from 50 years ago,” when most of us here in Ramona are very much aware of the current state of politics in America. If being an informed/involved Constitutional Conservative is also considered being a “redneck,” then Mr. Gibson, I am very proud to be a “redneck.” YEE-HAW! David Morris Ramona

Ramona doesn’t want to be dumping ground for solar projects This is addressed to Ian Stewart, an SDG&E representative who was at a recent Ramona planning group meeting. Dear Mr. Stewart, The town of Ramona is tired of becoming a dumping ground for solar projects. We understand you need to build these, but why in residential and ag areas? There is PLENTY of flat land that is out of the line of sight of our residents. Build them there. Your company is not a good neighbor and there is growing anger and distrust about what you are doing to people who are affected. Several of my friends are heartbroken by the Warnock project being built by another company. Never in a million years, when they bought the land and built their dream homes, did they expect to see metal rooflines that encompass 40-plus acres. This should never have been built. Now you are going to do the same thing to good people who live in the Creelman Lane area. What kind of PR is this? Did you hear them when they spoke at the recent Ramona Community Planning Group meeting — that their home values are going down since the news of the project going in? You need to put these elsewhere or put them on roof tops — like you do in the wealthy areas where people have influence and can stop this sort of thing. Diane Chapman Ramona
We would rather not try to name specific people for fear of not naming everyone, but those specific people know who they are, and we would like to say a special Thank You to each of you. We would like also to wish everyone A Very Merry Christmas, as Ramona has shown us that the spirit of Christmas shines bright here, from strangers in stores saying hello as they pass to offers of help from neighbors if a need should arise. We are proud to call Ramona our temporary home. Christine and Chip D’Amico Ramona
Ah, if only there were one in Oval Office In the early ‘50s, a new fad swept the U.S.: footlong wood-framed sunny sayings that would bring a laugh almost every time. At its height, these things may have been in half the households in the U.S. The momentum may have been provided by a desk plaque distributed by IBM to all its branches, worldwide: THINK. Soon after, some wag produced a duplicate of the IBM motto, only underneath, in smaller type it read: “or thwim.” Next thing we knew, such admonishments were popping up all over: “If we get to drinking Sunday afternoon and invite you over, we don’t mean it.” But one of the best read: “Do not start vast projects with half-vast ideas.” Too bad there wasn’t one in the Oval Office. A.G. Smith, Ph.D. Ramona
Trailhead hosts appreciate community’s warm reception
Thanks for successful motorcycle run
We would like to give out a big THANK YOU to the local community for the warm, caring reception, and outpouring of gratitude we have received since arriving here in Ramona to be the Cleveland National Forest’s Cedar Creek Trailhead hosts on Thornbush Road. The people of Ramona have been very friendly, warm and receptive to our presence, and we were really not expecting this welcome. The generosity we have also received from several residents such as regular newspaper deliveries, event tickets and invitations, dinner invitations, and even game nights really was not expected, but most pleasantly received.
TL & Associates and Sunset Sign Setters would like to thank everyone who participated in Ramona’s first Holiday House Motorcycle Run on Nov. 30 and to everyone who brought donations to help San Diego’s children, military, animals and senior citizens. The event was a great success supporting the following San Diego charities: The Angel’s Depot, Homefront San Diego, It’s all about the Kids, PAWS San Diego and Second Chance. A special thank you to Cheryl Hotchkiss and Robb Critney for organizing the event. Thomas Levin, Broker/owner TL & Associates

From page 8
locally, you’re being asked for nothing more than to support a mechanism that gives back to you frequently in ways of which you may be unaware. You’re being asked to help a local business make ends meet, even if that business can’t compete with the big box retailer, so that the business owner has the ability to volunteer time to a committee that helps light Ramona’s Christmas Tree, or can donate money to sponsor a community organization that just may be helping someone you know who is in need. This holiday season when you hear the phrase “shop locally,” think more of it in terms of making your own contribution to the
quality of life we enjoy in Ramona. Talk to your local shop owner and discover the many contributions he or she makes. If they are a member of the Ramona Chamber of Commerce, feel free to thank them for making a difference. As you come to know that shopping locally is really about the personal relationship you create with business owners in the best interest of our community, please realize too that the symbiosis between you two is what breathes life into Ramona. On behalf of all of the business members of the Ramona Chamber of Commerce, I wish you all the happiest of holidays and a very Merry Christmas.

Buying Closer to Home I’m not generally a flagwaver, nor do I adhere to much of the flotsam floating around the Internet. However, this morning’s collection of junk email delivered a message that had some real merit. As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheap merchandise produced at American labor’s expense. Our economy isn’t expected to grow much, even as the Chinese economy takes off like a jackrabbit. But we can shift things a bit this year by giving locally-sourced gifts, including: •Gift certificates from hair salons, health clubs, or car detailers. •Games at the neighborhood golf courses. •Breakfasts at the community breakfast joint. •Tickets to a regional theater production or jazz club.
Ask Mr. Marketing
Rob Weinberg As the chain mail observed, this concept is about supporting local artisans and merchants who are struggling to keep their doors open and rebuild their finances. Which is why I’m going to try finding local craftspeople who knit scarves from handspun wool, make jewelry or pottery, or craft beautiful wooden boxes. And while I think perhaps giving oil changes

from the local mechanic or computer tune-ups from the local repair guy might not appeal to everyone, I can certainly see how it could be appropriate for some. After 1989’s Tiananmen Square massacre, I swore to stop buying Chinese goods as a protest — an effort that was made all but impossible by increasing internationalization of markets. However, seeing how many U.S. jobs have transitioned overseas in the past 24 years, I’ve come to believe it’s time to start looking again at where products and services originate. I’m starting to focus more on the small business owner, recognizing the benefits to myself, neighbors and our society if I keep those dollars closer to home. The morning missive finished: “The holidays shouldn’t be about draining American pockets so

that other countries can build another glittering city. It should be about encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. When we care

Go Calmly Into Christmas Go calmly into Christmas, as Advent candles glow. Go calmly into Christmas, like gently falling snow. Now lay aside the rushing, the tinsel and the noise, Remember that first Christmas, so filled with quiet Joys. A stable and a baby, a mother’s lullaby, The shepherds on a hillside, a star up in the sky, Those Eastern Kings who followed That bright star’s beckoning light, That led them to the manger to view the holy sight. Now all the yuletide beauty, the gentleness, the love, Is wrapped in quiet splendor, a gift from God above.

Holiday Gift Guide Budget tight this season? Ramona merchants can help By JESSICA KING
B
ig box stores aren’t the only ones offering good shopping deals to gift-givers this holiday season. From Ace Hardware to Jewelry World and Loan, Ramona merchants are offering holiday gifts for $25 or less — without the parking and crowd headaches. “We have a bunch of stuff for anyone really,” Ace Hardware manager Jeff Sabian said of his store at 23642 San Vicente
Road. For children, Ace has a Craftsman Kid’s Tool Box for $13 and remote control vehicles anywhere from $15 to $25. The store also carries a variety of home décor items, from decorative plates to figurines, starting at $10. Of course, many of the store’s tools and other hardware items are also on sale, starting as low as $1.99 in some cases, Sabian said, noting many of the individual hand tools could make great stocking stuffers.
Economizers at 209 10th St. also offers tools and decorative items for less than $25. Owner Laurann Volk invites customers to stop in and check out the specials. In addition to before Christmas specials on Black & Decker items, the firm also is offering rebates, she noted. Ransom Brothers True Value at 1441 Main St. offers discounts on many of its tools and other hardware, including rotary tools for $20. The store carries a novelty line of

Redneck glassware, including wine glasses – Ball canning jars with glass stems – for $8.99 each. And don’t think of Sears Hometown Store at 220 Rotanzi St. as just a place to find a new stove, refrigerator or mattress. You’ll also find plenty of items the handyman or gal on your shopping list will appreciate. For the truly budget conscious, Ramona Food and Clothes Closet at 773 Main St. carries many
deeply discounted quality items that might surprise some shoppers, said service manager DeeAnn Anderson. “This is an awesome place to go,” she said. Jackets at the Closet run anywhere from $1.99 to $20, sweaters sell for $4.99 and dresses go for $10 to $20. But perhaps among the most surprising items sold are books, most for less than $1. The “costlier” books would be the hardcopy coffee table
books, which go for $1.99, Anderson said, noting they could make great gifts for hard-to-shop for relatives, friends or associates. There are also plenty of books to be had at Unicorn Books and Gifts at 738 Main St. Co-owner Stacy Bart said most, if not all, books in her shop are $25 or less. Unicorn also carries handmade jewelry, candles, soaps and other items for under $25, as well as some unique toys. Bart said she stocked up this year on toys for what she called the “hard to get for” ages, such as boys 8 to 12 and girls of a similar age. For the boys, Bart suggested science experiment kits, selling for $20 or less. For the girls, she recommended music boxes going for around $25. For shoppers who don’t know what authors someone on their gift list likes, Bart said there are several popular books out that See GIFTS page 18

Remember the family pets this Christmas By REGINA ELLING With the holiday season in full swing, no one wants to leave out the family pets. Our equine, canine and feline friends can be included in the fun, without breaking the bank and while keeping their comfort and needs in mind. Even better, Ramona has numerous stores catering to pets, so you can support your animals and shop local at the same time. Horse treats are high on the list of Christmas presents for equines at Kahoots Feed and Pet. “Many of our horse g
Gifts
treats are really fun, such as the Licky Thing, a hard block made of different grains, molasses and flavors; Uncle Jimmy’s Hanging Balls, Squeezy Buns and more,” said Kahoots staffer Alex Gaerlan. Kahoots also carries numerous brands of horse cookies in all the flavors horses love — peppermint, apple and carrot. Kahoots-brand horse cookies have human grade ingredients. “Kahoots-brand hoof conditioner is a feed supplement that also makes a great horse gift,” said Gaerlan. “We carry several types of hoof supplements
and dressings. Helping to keep your horse’s hooves in top shape is a gift much appreciated by your equine.” And for those horses very young, very old or with special needs, Gaerlan said that many of their horse feeds are designed for specific ages. “If you have any questions about what to feed your horse during the changing seasons, our staff will be glad to help,” he said. Pet owners can find numerous dog and cat gifts at the store as well. “We have dog beds in every style, and we even
have a selection of dog houses for those Ramona ranch dogs too tough to sleep inside,” he said. He added, “Everyone is talking about our new line of ‘Ramona Style’ dog toys — rustic, rugged and made out of leather, jute and water buffalo horn. Many of the eco-friendly toys are made for a water bottle to fit inside, making them super fun for dogs to chew.” Kahoots also carries a full line of Santa hats, reindeer antlers and dog stockings, for those owners unable to resist the temptation of dressing their pet. For some owners, a 52-

could work, such as recipe books that contain humorous stories in them and other joke books geared toward various interests and ages. Another shop carrying gifts for the “harder to buy for” sets is Jewelry World and Loan at 1338 Main St. Though the store carries plenty of higher end jewelry pieces and other items, shoppers can also find men’s cuff links for under $20, alternative metal bracelets, rings and other like
items for teens and young adults for under $25, and coin sets – maybe from the year someone was born – for $10. For the 21 and up crowd, Ramona’s many wineries offer several bottles of wines that won’t bust a budget. At Milagro Farms Vineyard and Winery at 18750 Littlepage Road, $23 will get a shopper a bottle of the winery’s award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, which was named best wine
in the county at this year’s San Diego County Fair. Another popular seller for $19 is Milagro’s sparking apple wine. This is merely a sample of what shoppers will find in Ramona stores. When all else fails to inspire, gift cards in varying denominations are available from most Ramona merchants, including eateries such as Ramona Café, Amici, La Cocina, Big Apple Bagels and Yogurt Barn.

Ramona-style dog toys — toys that are tough, rugged and able to handle the play of country dogs — make great holiday pet presents. Alex Gaerlan at Kahoots shows one of several displays in the store.

This is very important for finicky dogs easily bored of the same diet.” And for those important pet parties, Catt’s carries a full line of attire for dogs, cats and other pets. “We have all types of styles, including matching collars and leashes, for all your pet needs,” she said. Catt’s is at 629 Main Street, or call 760-7892280. “Horse toys make great Christmas gifts for your animals,” said Brian Johnson at Diamond D Feed & Pet Supply. “Two that we stock are Jolly Balls and Jolly Ball Snacks.” Jolly Balls are hard play balls with handles. Horses can toss them around with their teeth or nose, or the owner can throw them. They come in a variety of colors, scents and sizes. A Jolly Stall Snack is an apple-shaped container
with housing for equine snacks in the middle. The hanging toy is available with various flavored treats. A warm blanket also makes a great horsey gift. “For cold days and nights, we have a selection of sizes and types of waterproof and lined blankets to keep your horse comfortable,” Johnson said. For both dogs and cats, Diamond D carries a wide selection of treats and feed. “We have a large va-
riety of bulk dog treats in different flavors and sizes, allowing our customers to customize their mix to what their pets prefer,” he said. “We also have vegetarian dog treats.” Also, he said, “We stock deer antlers; as dog treats, they last much longer than regular bones, and dogs love them.” And although basic dog and cat food may not seem like much of a special holiday gift, Johnson said, “Upgrading your pet’s food

With their pictures displayed, coloring contest winners, right, gather for a photo after enjoying their prize of seeing the pygmy hippo on her birthday. From left are: Liberty Landenberg of El Cajon, Lydia Dean of Ramona, Alliy Hansen of Escondido, and Joanna Abarca and Talia Christofferson, both from Ramona.

Dickens of a Christmas Dinner in Town Hall “In this age of where everything is either wired, or wireless, our goal here tonight is to take everyone back to a simpler time when everything was wireless.” That’s how Woody Kirkman, Ramona Town Hall Board president, on Saturday evening introduced Town Hall’s Second Annual Christmas Dinner patterned after the first Christmas dinner held in the hall in 1894. With Turkey Inn owner Gerow Pinkford’s snow villages lining the shelves and decorating both wings of the historic hall, the theme of this year’s dinner was “A Dickens of a Christmas.” “Starting with the Town Hall’s first Christmas, local merchants donated apples and oranges to be given to each boy and girl in the town, and each was grateful, a tradition that continued into the 1930s,” Kirkman told the guests. “This evening, apples and oranges have been worked into the menu in honor of this much simpler time.” After providing more history and introducing special guests, Kirkman called for a toast: “To this most magnificent gift bestowed upon our town so many years ago, the Town Hall. Cheers!”

Contract
Sentinel photos/Maureen Robertson From page 1
months. “The challenge for these negotiations was to reduce current and future costs and still remain competitive in the labor market in order to continue to provide the best quality service to RMWD customers,” Darrell Beck, board president, said, reading from a press release. “The RMWD Board of Directors and RMWDEA accomplished these overall goals by agreeing to shift more of the employee’s retirement expense burden to the employees which will result in substantial savings to RMWD customers for several decades.” The state Pension Reform Act of 2013 requires employees to contribute 8 percent of their salary to their pensions by 2017. District employees now contribute 3 percent. That will increase to 4.25 percent on Jan. 1, and by an additional 1.25 percent for each of the next three years to meet the mandate. The district contributes an amount
equal to 26 percent of each employee’s salary to pension funds, as required by California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), said RMWD General Manager David Barnum. RMWD stops the contributions once an employee retires, he said. Under the new contract, new employees will pay 6.75 percent of their salary to their pensions and the district will pay an amount less than 26 percent, he said. The new contract also eliminates a “bridge” medical benefit for those who retire before age 65, when they are eligible for Medicare. The bridge benefit allowed retirees to receive a discount on RMWD’s lowest cost insurance. Eliminating this benefit will over time reduce the district’s liability in its insurance pool, said Barnum. The board approved the new contract 4-0 with Director Kit Kesinger absent. The directors also approved a 2014 employee classification and
salary schedule, which will be posted on the district’s website, rmwd. org, at the start of the new year. Also at the meeting, three longtime employees who are retiring this month were recognized with resolutions of appreciation. After 32 years working for the district, Fire Marshal and Ramona resident Saul Villagomez is retiring, effective Dec. 30. In addition, Kevin Skahan, who has worked for the district for 29 years, currently as wastewater treatment operator II, is retiring. Angel Yanez, a collection system worker II, is retiring after 25 years with the district. Barnum said the district will be filling the three jobs. Tim Clement was introduced as the district’s new human resource manager, replacing Mike Callahan, who retired. Clement previously worked as a senior human resource analyst for San Diego County Water Authority.

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. 13-0000812 Title Order No. 13-0002563 APN No. 282170-01-00 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 06/16/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by DEBRA S. MCLEMORE AND THOMAS R MCLEMORE, WIFE AND HUSBAND AS JOINT TENANTS dated 06/16/2005 and recorded 06/23/2005, as Instrument No. 2005-0527326, in Book N/A, Page 6497, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of SAN DIEGO County, State of California, will sell on 01/13/2014 at 10:00 AM, On the grounds of the Scottish Rite Event Center, located at 1895 Camino Del Rio South, San Diego, CA., at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 160 SAWDAY RD, RAMONA, CA, 92065-3858. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $406,167.93. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 a 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 lender may hold more than 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 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case 13-0000812.

Bulldogs win 4 basketball tournament games The Dawgs played their way in to the tournament championship game as they beat Montgomery High School 64-55. Three Dawgs scored in double figures. Stransky scored 24 points and added five assists. Siets looked more like a veteran than a freshman as he scored 13 points. Cobian scored 10 points. Hubbard led the Dawgs with five rebounds all coming on the defensive end of the court. Dominguez led the team with three steals. “It was another fantastic
By BILL TAMBURRINO Coach David Reichner’s Bulldog basketball team got off to a flying start as it won four games in the Mt. Miguel Tournament to advance to the championship game. The Bulldogs never trailed in a 57-52 win over Mt. Miguel to open the tournament. Senior Scott Stransky paced the Dawgs as he led all scorers with 16 points and dealt off four assists. “Scott showed great poise and maturity as he shot 75 percent from beyond the arc (3 of 4) and the stripe (3 of 4),” stated Reichner. The coach also had praise for sophomore guard Marco Cobian (13 points, 3 steals): “He was a big provider of offensive penetration, allowing the Dawgs to obtain some needed scoring.” Anthony Silvaggio (6), Riley Hubbard (5), Blake Siets (5), Calvin Harris (4), Colton Harris (2), Tanner “T-Bone” Williams (2), Christian Dominguez (2), Evan Reichner (1) and Jake Newman (1) also scored in the victory. Cobian and Silvaggio each grabbed four rebounds apiece to share the lead in that category. The Dawgs beat Clairemont High school 64-43 in the second round of pool play. Two Dawgs scored in double figures.

Scott Stransky leads the Dawgs in scoring in the Mt. Miguel Tournament.
Stransky led all scorers with 15 points and shared a game-high nine boards with teammate Riley Hubbard. He hit three shots from beyond the arc and led the Dawgs with four assists. Cobian sunk two from 3-point range and ended the game with 12 points. Siets scored all 9 of his points by way of the 3-point shot. Calvin Harris (6), Colton Harris (5), Hubbard (5), Silvaggio (4), Dominguez (4) and Newman also scored in the game. Williams made his presence felt in the paint as he grabbed seven rebounds. Silvaggio and Calvin Harris each
grabbed five boards. Reichner’s charges made it three in a row in the third-round 51-47 victory over Crawford High School. Stransky scored 19 points and posted three steals on the defensive end of the court. Silvaggio scored 10 points and led the team with five boards. “It is a great sign of a good team when they are not playing their best and still come out on top,” stated Reichner after looking at the stats that revealed the Dawgs only had 18 rebounds and committed 22 turnovers, and shot poorly from the stripe and the arc.

The saying ‘offense puts people in the seats, defense wins championships’ was ringing in our ears after a barn burner and one for the ages,” Reichner posted on the basketball team’s website. The Bulldogs lost a hard-fought contest to Abraham Lincoln Preparatory High School in the championship game of the Mt. Miguel Tournament. The Dawgs were

was not the case in Ramona’s 59-46 come-frombehind victory over Steele Canyon. The Lady Bulldogs did it with defense. Down by 11 points midway through the second quarter, coach Dan Mar-
Hannah Farhat (5 points) led the team with three thefts and was named the Player of the Game for her efforts at both ends of the court. Kailey Hill and Micaela Fields (4 points) had two steals apiece. Chris-
tina Barrameda, Katherine Mauldin and Lauren Werhanowicz also had steals. The defense turned the tide but Ramona got outstanding offensive performances from Mauldin and Barrameda. Mauldin scored a game-high 24 points and grabbed 20 rebounds to record a double. Thirteen of Mauldin’s boards came under the Falcon bucket. Steele Canyon only had 32 rebounds as a team. Barrameda scored a season-high 18 points and grabbed five boards to record one of the best all-around games of her career. Werhanowicz grabbed five boards and scored 3 points. Hill got in early foul trouble but still grabbed five rebounds and blocked two shots to go along with her 3 points. Starting center Ashlyn Savage recorded five boards.

RHS girls soccer opens season with shutout win By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s girls soccer team opened its 2013-14 season with a 2-0 home win Dec. 11 against Mira Mesa High School. “It went very well for
us,” said coach Justin Jordan. Within 15 minutes after the whistle blew to commence play at Wilson Field, the Bulldogs were on the scoreboard. Alexis Dinero passed to Kacie Jordan, who placed the
ball into the net. Ramona’s second goal was scored in the game’s final 15 minutes. Sydney Schmidt delivered the ball to freshman forward Mikiala McNary, who responded with her first high school goal. Schmidt is Ramona’s
fullback and was also on the defensive contribution to the shutout. Ramona’s goalkeeper was Taylor Stacy. The Bulldog outside defenders were Shelby Sherman and Ceci Estrada. Katherin Hoertig and Courtney Dolan were Ra-
mona’s center defenders. “We had nice possessions and passing of the ball and two wonderful plays that led to the goals,” Jordan said. “The defense was very strong.” Jordan also noted the ability to keep possession
Coach praises Bulldog soccer goalkeeper Bonilla By JOE NAIMAN During a three-day period in which the Bulldog boys soccer team split a pair of 1-0 games, coach Michael Jordan learned that he could depend on Jesse Bonilla, who is playing his fourth season as the starting goalkeeper, regardless of what other lineup was on the field. Bonilla allowed a penalty kick goal in Ramona’s 1-0 home loss Dec. 11 against Grossmont while making seven saves, including a second penalty kick. He made nine saves in the Bulldogs’ Dec. 13 home game against El
Camino, which ended with the 1-0 score in Ramona’s favor. During safe Ramona leads Jordan has inserted backup goalkeeper Tony Alba in the nets, but otherwise Bonilla has been the sole goalkeeper for the Bulldogs. The same cannot be said for the other 10 positions. “We haven’t started the same 11 in the first nine matches,” Jordan said. Some of the starters against Grossmont hadn’t previously begun the game on the field. “We had a number of guys injured or hurt,” said Jordan.
The Dec. 11 players learned the consequences of committing a direct kick foul in the penalty box. Jordan noted that the Grossmont offensive success might have been more potent had it not been for Bonilla’s play. “Jesse played great; he was the man of the match,” Jordan said. Dec. 11 was also Ramona Soccer League night, which honored the youth players. Dec. 13 was Fan Night, which included a drawing for giveaways, highlighted by a jersey signed by former Ramona star Andy Garcia. In the game against El

Camino, Ramona’s only goal was scored on a penalty kick. “We had plenty of opportunities,” Jordan said. “Their goalie was phenomenal too, but Jesse played like the best goalkeeper in San Diego County.” Jordan used a sweeperstopper defensive formation against the Wildcats to compensate for an ill defender. David Soto and Ian Rodd were the outside backs, Brandon Chavez was the sweeper, and Cesar Sanchez played stopper. “They had a high-powered offense,” Jordan said of El Camino. “Our de-
fense played stellar, but they created opportunities and Jesse just turned away all of them.” Jordan noted that Bonilla stopped breakaway plays, deflections, and shots from inside the 6-yard box. “It was amazing to watch,” he said. Jordan also cited the ability of various groups of defenders to contribute to a shutout. “We’re definitely deeper on the bench,” he said. “Proud of those guys to jump in and contribute at that level.” The Bulldogs will host a game against Hoover High School on Dec. 20.

Academies display how the game should be played
They believe in Honor, Courage, Duty, Commitment and Country. They live by an honor code. They make the cliché, “It is not a matter of life and death. It is more important than that,” a true statement. They are college students who can’t and don’t party every weekend. They are not in a fraternity or sorority but they are brothers and sisters, not only in spirit but in arms. They take an oath to protect and defend this great country. They do not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate among them those who do. They will stand guard so that you and I can sleep in peace. They all must play a sport, either intramural or interscholastic. One of those sports is football. It is the ultimate team game. And they are preparing for the ul-
timate team. On Saturday, Dec. 14, they played America’s Game at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Penn. It was more than a game. Two teams, two student bodies, two alumni groups and millions of fans and brothers and sisters in arms watched. Those students not playing, participated. Two student bodies marched into an NFL stadium and then marched into the stands where they stood for the entire game and supported their team. There was no trash talking. There was no hot dogging. There was no dancing or prancing. They are above that. Four-star generals and admirals don’t condone that sort of nonsense. They were not playing for ranking, or a bowl bid or a trophy that goes to the college with the best PR department more often than to the best player. However, both schools have had players win that trophy and every one
of the trophy winners will look you in the eye and tell you that “The Game” is more important than any bilious trophy. Generals and admirals who have played in The Game were there. Too many who have played in The Game weren’t there. Too many have given their lives so that The Game and other games could be played. The Game was played with class, dignity, enthusiasm, determination and the highest degree of sportsmanship. It was played by those who represent what every decent person wants to be, can be, should be and hopefully will be. Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant First Class Leroy Petry was there and shook hands with four-star General Raymond T. Odierno. Odierno played in The Game and See TIMEOUT on page 30
