School playground gets $55,000 boost from supervisors BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON A District 2 county Neighborhood Reinvestment Program Grant will pay half of projected costs for a new play structure at Ramona Elementary School. Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who represents Ramona and the rest of District 2 on the county Board of Supervisors, recommended approval of the $55,000 grant. Estimated cost of the new playground is $110,000. The new structure will replace the existing play area that is at least 25 years old and is underutilized because it offers limited play opportunities, has chipped paint layers from years of “making do” maintenance — resulting in students often getting blisters and cuts on their hands — and has a wood chip surface that needs to be replaced periodically, said retired Ramona Elementary teacher Lynda Kubinak, who prepared the grant application. The grant received county board approval last Tuesday. “If this grant is approved, we are prepared to begin construction on the project within a month and complete the project well before the end of the school year, the exact timetable being dependent on contractors’ availability,” Kubinak wrote in the cover letter accompanying the grant application. Ramona Unified School District Assistant Superintendent David Ostermann and Kubinak met with Jacob to discuss the project in early summer and submitted the application July 20. Members of Ramona Elementary’s English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC) introduced the idea during their meeting March 16 to discuss their upcoming carnival, held each year in May.

Trustees OK raises, hear positive financial report BY MAUREEN ROBERTSON Without comment, Ramona Unified School District trustees approved a 2.18 percent raise for teachers and a 2.19 percent raise for support workers during their last meeting of the calendar year. The raises will be in two parts: 2.1 percent effective Jan. 1 and 2.3 percent retroactive from July through December, the first five months of the 2016-17 school year, to be paid in January. The contracts call for the district to continue paying 85 percent of health benefits for eligible employees represented by the Ramona Teachers Association and the Ramona chapter of the California School Employees Association that represents support staff such as custodians, clerical workers, teacher aides, bus drivers and food services workers. Employees pay 15 percent. Responding to a national teacher shortage that has affected SEE SCHOOL FINANCES, A16

Medical pot ordinance revisions head to supervisors Jacob says dispensary ban is still an option BY KAREN BRAINARD Amendments to the county’s medical marijuana ordinance are scheduled to go before the Board of Supervisors Jan. 25, and Supervisor Dianne Jacob told some of her Ramona constituents that she has not ruled out a ban on dispensaries. “That’s going to be an important hearing,” she told those at the recent Ramona Community Revitalization Steering Committee.

State awards $65,099 to West End Fire Safe Council have died in California forests since 2010, elevating the threat of wildfires, the U.S. Forest Service reported. “Communities in high-risk areas for wildfire and tree mortality need assistance and support,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, Cal Fire director and California’s state forester. “These grants focus on reducing wildfire risk through education, planning and the removal of dead trees and hazardous fuel. We look forward to seeing the results of these projects and the safeguarding effects they have on communities.” Other grants in San Diego County went to Greater Valley Center Fire Safe Council ($74,000) and Fire Safe Council of San Diego County ($107,425).

Ramona Lutheran School first- and second-graders and family members, along with Bill and Judy Bryant, wave to passers-by as they take a sleigh ride down Main Street. The Bryants, who own the motorized sleigh that is led by three reindeer, treated students to rides through town on Dec. 12.
‘Just hear those sleigh bells jingling’ It was lovely weather last week for Ramona Lutheran School students to take sleigh rides through town, courtesy of Bill and Judy Bryant who have three grandchildren at the school. The Bryants’ red motorized sleigh led by three reindeer, including one with a nose like Rudolph’s, is a familiar sight in town during the holidays. Bill said the festive sleigh and reindeer got fresh coats of paint this year. As Christmas music played on the sleigh, students added some “ring-ting-tingling” to the mix. The couple’s son, Wes, and his wife, Suzanne, have three children at Ramona Lutheran: Sterling in fourth grade, Remingtyn in second grade, and Emersyn in kindergarten.

Weekend collisions send several to hospital
Golden eagle found dead near downed powerline A golden eagle was found dead near a downed powerline after an outage on Monday, Dec. 12, near the Ramona Grasslands, according to officials. San Diego County’s Parks and Recreation Department said it was notified of an accident involving a golden eagle and a downed powerline on a San Diego Gas & Electric easement of the grasslands. SDG&E, which alerted park staff, said it cannot confirm that the eagle came in contact with the powerline and caused the outage that affected customers that morning in the Highland Valley/West Ramona area. A county park ranger collected the dead bird and notified the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said Jessica Geizsler, county parks and recreation public information officer. Per protocols for protected species, the bird will be shipped to the National Eagle Repository, she said.
TREE SALES BENEFIT RAMONA AG BOOSTERS
KAREN BRAINARD
Ramona Future Farmers of America members Gia Barris, Sarah Drown, Laura Wheeler, Margaret Schuett and Amber Arras show one of the nine Christmas trees left in the Ramona Ag Boosters lot on Dec. 15. The boosters started with 275 trees when the lot opened at Main and Fifth streets on Dec. 2. Christmas tree sales are the boosters’ largest fundraiser each year.
Light of the Lamb seeks donations for Christmas dinner Mark Baker, pastor of Light of the Lamb intercessory ministry at 318 Seventh St., is asking for donations so he can serve a Christmas dinner to the homeless and less fortunate. Baker said that due to a Dec. 15 theft at his
home and church he does not have the funds to acquire food for the annual holiday meal. Anyone interested in donating may contact Baker at 619-723-8839. The church is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so donations are tax deductible, he noted.
Among accidents reported from last weekend were a three-vehicle collision on Sunday afternoon that sent two to the hospital and a suspected DUI crash Friday night that left two with fractured bones. Around 4:15 p.m. Dec. 18, a 35-year-old woman driving a 1998 Hyundai Accent was northbound on San Vicente Road near Gem Lane when she drifted over the double yellow lines, said California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Kevin Pearlstein. The left front of her vehicle hit the left front of a southbound 2001 Toyota Highlander, causing the Highlander, driven by a 21-year-old female, to veer into the northbound lane and strike a 2004 Ford Ranger, driven by a 52-year-old woman, said Pearlstein. All three drivers were from Ramona. The Hyundai driver had a broken arm, he said, but did not go to the hospital, and a 4-year-old child in a
car seat in that vehicle was uninjured. The driver of the Highlander complained of neck and back pain and the Ford Ranger driver complained of chest pain, he said. Both were transported to Palomar Medical Center. No alcohol was involved, stated the report. On Dec. 16, around 5:45 p.m., a head-on crash on Wildcat Canyon Road, 1.9 miles south of San Vicente Road, sent a 68-year-old Ramona woman to the hospital with a fractured vertebrae in her neck and a fractured sternum, reported CHP. The woman was driving a 2015 Chevy Captiva southbound when a 1997 Nissan pickup heading northbound crossed the double yellow lines and hit the Chevy, said Pearlstein. The driver of the truck, a 55-year-old Lakeside man, is suspected of DUI and suffered fractured ribs and abrasions, said Pearlstein. Both were transported to Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, he said.

GUEST COMMENTARY
True Holiday Spirit BY BRYAN GOLDEN Among other things, the holidays are a time of giving and receiving gifts. The question most often asked of people is, "what did you get?" Much less frequently asked is, "what did you give?" Invariably, the inquiries concern material gifts. Purchasing a gift can certainly be thoughtful and a wonderful gesture, especially when it's backed up by your actions. However, the most valuable presents are those that aren't sold in stores. When you give your love, your time, help someone in need, aid another in solving a problem or overcoming an obstacle, you give something priceless. The true spirit of the holidays is giving. When you give, you receive. You can get anything in life you want by helping enough others get what they want — but only if you give without expecting anything in return. The impact of giving isn't limited to just the holiday season. It's something that has value all year. The power of giving is often underestimated. When you give unconditionally, you don't just impact the recipient; you start a chain reaction. By brightening the life of one person, you also affect all those who that person then touches. No gesture of giving or kindness is too small. Holding the door open at a store, helping someone carry groceries to their car, letting another car in front of you, saying please and thank you, and saying hello to a stranger you pass on the sidewalk, are some of the many things you can do daily. For family and friends, your time is one of the most precious gifts you can offer. Are you there for others when they need you? Do you offer a hand without being asked? Do you help out when asked? Too often, people get caught up in their own desires, thus losing sight of the needs of others. A person who tries to get through life by looking out for himself or herself first is invariably frustrated. Often this person views life as a competition to determine who can accumulate more. On the other hand, those who are concerned for the well-being of others are happier, more content, and more satisfied. By giving without expecting, they in turn receive the things they need. Giving is a simple concept that works every time it is applied. There will be people who don't appreciate what you do, but it doesn't matter. You are giving without anticipating anything in return. Besides, there will be many more who are thankful for your efforts. If you don't treat others well, buying a gift won't compensate for your behavior. The recipient might like what you give them, but it won't make up for your actions. You can't bribe someone to forgive the way you treat them with a present. The best gift you can receive is the joy of making someone else happy. Being unselfish is a wonderful way to live. When you give with no ulterior motives, your actions are seen as genuine. Should you expect something in return, your behavior is always suspect. We all know people who do nice things only when they want something in return. Make giving a daily routine. Don't start and end with the holiday season. Every day is a good day to do something nice. When people feel good due to your actions, you can't help but feel happy yourself. And that is priceless. The most significant action you can take is having a positive impact on the lives of others. Bryan Golden is the author of "Dare to Live Without Limits."

OUR READERS WRITE FORUS at work for our schoolchildren At this time of year dehydration does not normally come to mind, but a 2012 study showed that American schoolchildren generally do not drink enough water. Insufficient hydration can affect physical and cognitive abilities, setting our youth up for slower learning, development and even behavior problems. Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS) has been focusing on making drinking water more available to our schoolchildren throughout the district. This effort includes replacing old, ugly and often non-functioning drinking fountains with the installation of water bottle fillers, new wall mounted water fountains and new industrial pedestal fountains in the schools and in play areas. FORUS also has supplied electric hand dryers for one elementary school and the secondary school bathrooms to reduce the paper waste that can end up on the floor and to make for a safer atmosphere that the students can have pride in. This year and last FORUS budgets were approximately $16,000, used to purchase such materials. Some of our more expensive project costs are shared with other nonprofits and with Ramona Unified School District. Such collaborations allow FORUS to work beyond its budgets, while making sure it meet its health and safety requirement. Generous donors to FORUS are Shelly Heimer with Supreme Lending and Dr. Jane Tanaka. Other contributions have come from individuals since FORUS started in 2013. More can be done with donations from other individuals and businesses. If a tax-deductible contribution is planned for 2016, please consider FORUS. We are a fully qualified 501(c)(3) and eager to put your money to work for the health and safety of our schoolchildren. You can contact us through Facebook, FORUS (Friends Of Ramona Unified Schools) or by
writing to: dpatterson998@yahoo.com. Happy holidays to all. Dave Patterson Friends of Ramona Schools (FORUS)
Points to ponder as Trump builds foundation Fairy tales once began “once upon a time.” Now they begin, “when I'm elected.” Herein are some random points to ponder as the Trump Administration builds its foundation. Does history make man or does man make history? History is an argument without end! Do not prejudge. George Washington, like Trump, was also a land speculator, businessman, fancied the young beautiful ladies and was constantly concerned about his “ brand.” Huey Long, who was a consummate populist-politician who built massive infrastructure and even provided free textbooks, said, “I do not care what they say about me as long as they spell my name correctly.” To the Kingfish there was no such thing as negative advertising. Being in the limelight was Huey's goal. Shades of Trump this day! Steve Bannon, the president-elect’s chief strategist, sees himself as a “national economist,” not a “white nationalist” as some proclaim — for the purposes of this article we will accept that he is an “economic nationalist.” He cites programs of the 1930s when FDR's New Deal was building roads, bridges, schools, parks and on and on as a possible model. Paid for by a negative interest rate. Just a side trip. I was 7 years old when FDR came to Aberdeen, Wash. My entire family was elated and was filled with hope. We rushed to line up at the curb to see his touring car drive by. Some historians of late do not speak kindly of President Roosevelt. My dad was a great defender of his policies. SEE LETTERS, A6

FROM LETTERS, A4 My father argued that FDR's policies were going great until the Social Security payroll tax kicked in and caused an economic dip. The critics of FDR say, “it was the World War that brought us out of the depression, not FDR's policies.” War is tragic. The war was a big tax-and-spend program with cost plus contracts. Trump’s chief adviser seems to be touching upon FDR's New Deal. Maybe he sees a Great New Deal. I see somewhat of a parallel between Bannon's ideas and Henry George's Single Tax Theory, which I was a student of at one time. Another side trip: When I was at the Army War College, the theme seemed to be “Interdependence of Nations.” Defining national interests and determining how to maintain U.S. hegemony were prime topics. “Capture or kill the enemy,” to my knowledge, was rarely if at all mentioned. The curriculum of the War College in 1975-76 focused on preventing war. It had its critics, just as there are critics today of policies and S T A T E
practices designed to avoid war. Every attempt to avoid war should be made. Being a Marine does not preclude one from being a statesman. Military leaders, more than most, are cognizant of our Constitution and the preeminence of civil authority. They live in such a political environment and appreciate the “big picture.” Sometime back, I was involved in negotiation of contracts with unions. It seems that it is in the culture of the negotiating process for both sides to have extreme positions. On this day in history, I see a great negotiator, President-elect Trump. He sometimes enters the fray with exaggerated positions. It is not a question of flip flopping. He is a negotiator. Moderate positions from negotiations will follow. Even our beloved Constitution is the result of compromise. I do not speak because I have the power to speak; I speak because I do not have the power to remain silent. A merry, Merry Christmas to all and a happy, Happy New Year. John Rajcic Ramona O F

‘Mike’ arrives in U.S. after years-long visa effort Ramonan’s persistence makes it possible BY KATE MORRISSEY her Mohammad Haidari, a 26-year-old from Afghanistan, spent the last nine years known simply as “Mike.” Haidari worked as an interpreter for United States military troops and security contractors in Afghanistan. The nickname was his protection from the Taliban. “If they know your real name, when you go home, they’re going to find you and cut your head off,” Haidari said. He said several of his friends had been caught helping the U.S. and were decapitated by the Taliban. Haidari started working for the U.S. military in 2007 with the promise that, after two years, he could apply for a visa to relocate with his family to the U.S. After working for the U.S., it would not be safe for him to remain in Afghanistan. It took nine years and persistent lobbying by Dave Sossaman, a Ramonan who ran contract security details for the state department and department of defense in Afghanistan, to realize that promise. “They’ve had all these things going on with just a ridiculous amount of wait and bureaucracy,” Sossaman said. “He was pretty much marked. There was a bounty on his head from the Taliban because he worked for us. I had to make quite a few calls and write quite a few letters.” Haidari received a special immigrant visa
S
in exchange for his service. About 500 immigrants from Afghanistan and Iraq with such visas resettled in San Diego County in fiscal 2016, according to state data. Sossaman picked up Haidari, along with his wife and now 8-month-old son, at the airport in Los Angeles in late September. The Haidaris spent the weekend with Sossaman before settling into an El Cajon apartment that he found for them. Sossaman helped stock the apartment with everything they might need to start their new life. “There’s a lot of back-and-forth now about bringing over refugees. Guys like Mike, we have to separate all that fodder from guys like this,” Sossaman said. “The fact that we had him saved American lives.” Haidari said he came to San Diego because Sossaman was here. Sossaman, whom Haidari calls “Big Dave,” hired Haidari in 2012 to lead a group of Afghan nationals who worked on a security detail escorting U.S. contractors. “They got ambushed all the time, but they were able to get their equipment through when nobody else could,” Sossaman recalled of Haidari. He said Haidari’s job paid $600 a month. Sossaman remembered the first time he and Haidari went on a mission together. They were traveling through a dangerous area controlled by the Taliban. Sossaman was driving. Someone started shooting at them. “I looked over, and he’s opened the door and shooting back screaming ‘he’s a gangster’ at the Taliban,” Sossaman said

He has more than 34 letters and certificates from U.S. military officers commending him for his loyalty and recommending that he be given a visa to the U.S. He keeps them in plastic protective sheets. He has the stories of a veteran. He recalls losing all of his leg hair on his lower legs because of long days in military boots. He recalls the brotherhood he felt with American troops. He recalls friends losing their limbs, their lives. He recalls the smell of dead bodies. He recalls going on a special mission with 24 Americans a couple of hours after Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl disappeared. As he was getting off a helicopter, he heard the Taliban on the scanner he held talking about seeing 24 flowers. He realized quickly that the soldiers were being referred to as flowers. He told the platoon leader, and they all hit the ground moments before shooting began. All of the soldiers survived, he said. He said he knows other interpreters still stuck in Afghanistan fearing for their lives while they wait for visas to come. Matthew Makowski, a volunteer with the San Diego chapter of No One Left Behind — an organization that helps military interpreters get settled after they arrive in the U.S. — said that people often forget about the interpreters. “In this country, rightfully so, veterans issues get a lot of focus,” Makowski said. “These guys, people don’t think of them as veterans even though they’ve fought alongside many of our soldiers.” SEE ‘MIKE’, A8

Supervisors vote themselves a raise Final vote scheduled for Jan. 10
BY JOSHUA STEWART Without discussion or explanation, San Diego County supervisors took the first step last Tuesday to approve a $19,000 increase in their salaries, which also would raise their pensions. As a part of their consent calendar — where a variety of items on the meeting’s agenda are considered simultaneously with a single vote — supervisors approved the first reading of an ordinance that will boost their compensation. The only objector was Supervisor Dave Roberts, who used a procedural move that allowed him to vote in support of all consent calendar items with the exception of the pay increase. The raise will be considered again on a second reading on Jan. 10 and will take effect on March 17 if passed. Items rarely fail at that point. Dave Roberts did not explain his no vote during the Dec. 13 meeting, and his office did not respond to a request for comment. He lost his bid for re-election and will be replaced on the board by Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar before the second vote. All other supervisors declined or did not respond to requests to comment on their vote. On Monday, Chairman FROM ‘MIKE’, A7 Makowski helped Haidari move in furniture and worked toward getting him a driver’s licence. “He just seemed like a nice guy, very energetic and very grateful to be here and to have any bit of help,” Makowski said of Haidari. “It seemed like the biggest thing in the world to him.”
Ron Roberts released a statement that said the raise is justified. “It has been nearly 20 years since we adjusted the formula for members of the board of supervisors and salaries have risen less than 1 percent annually over the last nine years,” he said. “San Diego County has the second largest population in the state and in terms of square miles is one of the nation’s largest counties, larger in size than two states. I am very comfortable this adjustment is fair and justified.” While it has been 18 years since the formula changed, San Diego was then, as it is now, the second-most populous county in California, and remains geographically larger than Rhode Island and Delaware. Supervisors currently earn $153,289.60. In terms of total monetary compensation — a figure that includes base pay, car allowances and other benefits but excludes health care costs — San Diego in 2014 was fourth among California counties, behind Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, according to the California Department of Human Resources. Compensation formulas vary among counties and aren’t completely comparable, and can be complicated. San Bernardino County’s charter caps the cost of both salaries and benefits based on an average of compensation to supervisors in Riverside, Orange and San Diego counties. Consequently, if San Diego’s supervisors raise their pay, there will also be a
Haidari moved to San Francisco recently to be closer to some of his wife’s relatives, but he knows he and Sossaman will stay in touch. “I told him, ‘When you are old, I will come as a brother and help you out,’” Haidari said. Haidari plans to enroll in school and work either as security, police or military. His focus is to raise his son
with better opportunities than he had and to put his wife through school so she can learn English. She wants to be a fashion designer. He said he has no intention of ever returning to Afghanistan. “Our country is finished, man,” Haidari said. “Our country is finished.” Kate Morrissey writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.
pay hike in San Bernardino. Under the existing policy, San Diego County supervisors’ base pay is set at 80 percent of a Superior Court judge’s salary, which is currently $191,612. But if the ordinance introduced by Supervisor Ron Roberts is passed next month, the index will change to 85 percent from March 17 to Dec. 7, and to 90 percent thereafter. A supervisor’s regular compensation will go from $153,289.60 to $162,870.20 and then $172,450.80 provided judicial pay doesn’t increase as well. It amounts to a 12.5 percent increase in pay in just under nine months. The switch will cost government at least $95,806 more per year. Superior Court judge pay is also fluid and relies on a complex formula. By law, judicial salary increases are determined by multiplying the current base pay of all justices by the average percentage increase in pay of the current fiscal year for state employees. The average percentage of pay increase is a factor of the 21 labor unions of varying size and salary structures that represent state employees. While the ordinance will most immediately impact supervisors’ salaries if passed, it increases their pensions as well. Pensions for retired county employees are based on their highest salary rate and that salary must be earned for at least one year. If the pay increase is passed, all incumbent supervisors will qualify for the higher pension by the time they leave office, but it’s unclear exactly how their pension payments will increase. Supervisors’ auto allowances are also included in the pension formula. Supervisors regularly approve items on the consent calendar, and sometimes pull particular measures to make brief comments, observations, or have discussions. They did not pull the pay item from the consent calendar for additional review, and no one from the public spoke on the matter. Joshua Stewart writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Rain, Wind and Fire… “The three menaces to any chimney, fireplace or stove.”
SUSAN MCCORMICK
COMMUNITY SUPPORT AT CHRISTMAS Wearing reindeer antlers, Shelly Heimer, right, branch manager of Supreme Lending at 311 12th St., and assistant Lindsey McNerney show some of the gift cards, toys and other gifts that will go to two Ramona families in need this Christmas. In a thank you note to those who attended their Client Appreciation Party at Turtle Rock Ridge Vineyard Winery on Dec. 15, Heimer and Michela Griffin with Supreme Lending said more than $1,200 in gift cards, $270 in cash and an abundance of toys and gifts for the two families were received at the Client Appreciation Party. “We are overwhelmed with gratitude,” they wrote. “Thank you for opening your hearts this holiday season.” The two families were chosen after Heimer and Griffin asked for and received Family Adoption Nominations from the community.
Ask Mr. Marketing BY ROB WEINBERG
Geeducken for Christmas
L
ike so many people, I frequently find life simultaneously taking me in 47 directions. This makes it challenging to synchronize servicing clients, hustling new business, eating, spending quality family time, and walking the dog. To accommodate multiple overlapping deadlines, writing my columns gets squeezed in as time permits. To maintain quality, I submit each column to three professional editors before anyone else sees them. These three voluntarily tell me what works and what failed. For 10 years this system’s worked well. Every holiday season I send each editor a book, tchotchke, or gift card to say “Thanks!” This year I offered all three a choice: a Starbucks card or a contribution in their name to Heifer International. To their credit, each elected the charitable donation over personal gratification. Heifer, you’ll recall, improves the world’s poorest lives with reliable food sources, livestock, and agricultural training. They arrange for indigent families to get stoves or farm animals. Donors can contribute shares of cows or goats. In 2015 I donated a hive of bees to an African family.
Per my editors’ instructions, this year I’m buying one flock each of geese, ducks, and chickens to help this worthy cause. My twisted sense of wordplay immediately jumped to “Turducken,” the Frankenfood combination of Turkey, Duck and Chicken sometimes seen on holiday tables. This quickly evolved into “Geeducken.” It’s now my shorthand for “I’ve got plenty, and must share with those less fortunate.” My friend Joe Milana observed my future includes tax cuts and less regulation on my business. “Geeducken” reminds me to donate a portion of that increased income to charity. I figure someone with a full belly will start a new business and need marketing services. That’s where I’ll get my payoff. You, too, may find profit in Mr. Trump’s economic strategies. Contributing to charity now will have the long-term payoff of generating new prospective customers for your business. Meaning those of us already fed and housed must prime the pump for those who aren’t. So I’m encouraging you to donate to Heifer, the food bank, or your religious community today. It’ll grow your profitability tomorrow. With that said, my family and I wish you a happy holiday season.

Dianne’s Corner BY SUPERVISOR DIANNE JACOB
Economy boost for wineries, breweries Backcountry beauty: It was great to recently join horse riders, hikers and others who enjoy our great outdoors to formally dedicate a new 2.2-mile trail along San Vicente Road. The completion of the wide, roped-off path was a big step forward in our efforts to open up even more of our beautiful backcountry to the public and was part of a bigger project to improve San Vicente. I want to thank residents — especially in Ramona and San Diego Country Estates — for their patience over the past couple of years as the county realigned parts of the road and took other steps to make it safer. And a big thank you to all those who made the new path possible. Reducing fire danger: Financial assistance is available for qualified San Diego County landowners dealing with dead and dying trees. The federal government is making more money available to help private property owners address tree mortality and other drought-related damage. For more
information, call 760-745-2061. Boosting our economy: The Board of Supervisors recently took another step to help our boutique wineries and craft breweries. We approved new rules that give more flexibility and opportunity to caterers, food vendors, wineries and breweries looking to grow and expand. Under the procedures, caterers are allowed to handle food service for wineries, breweries and businesses that don’t have full service capabilities, while making sure the food is properly handled. County staff recommended the new rules following a study of catering events at wineries, breweries and private functions. For more District 2 news, go to http://www.diannejacob.com or follow me on Facebook and Twitter. If I can assist with a county issue, please call my office at 619-531-5522 or email dianne.jacob@sdcounty.ca.gov. Have a great East County day! Dianne

Team struggles in higher Holiday Jubilee division
DOUG SOOLEY
Sophomore Hope Garmon plays forward in home game against Mt. Carmel.
BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School girls soccer coach Deena Vizcarra and her players knew that the Bulldogs wouldn't repeat their 2015 championship in the Bronze Division of the Holiday Jubilee tournament as soon as they entered the Silver Division of the 2016 tournament. "I moved it up a division," Vizcarra said. "I felt like they needed to be up against tougher teams." The Bulldogs lost all three of their tournament games this year, giving Ramona a 1-7 record for the Calendar Year 2016 portion of the 2016-17 season. Ramona's first tournament of the year was the Barons Tournament, and the Bulldogs lost a 1-0 match against Mar Vista while winning an 11-1 contest against Madison. A non-tournament game Dec. 13 in Ramona ended as a 6-1 Mt. Carmel victory at the Bulldogs' expense. "We weren't out of it at halftime," Vizcarra said of the game against Mt. Carmel. "We kind of lost it in the second half."
The Bulldogs had 11 shots on goal against the Sundevils with the only successful one being scored by freshman Sidney Din. Mt. Carmel took 16 shots with Ramona goalkeeper Reagan Townsend making 10 saves. Ramona only had five shots on goal Dec. 14 when the Bulldogs played Mira Mesa at Kearny High School to begin Holiday Jubilee play. The Marauders had a 1-0 halftime lead and ended the game on the desired end of the 3-0 score. Escondido High School, which will face the Bulldogs twice in Valley League play later this season, was both the host and the opponent in Ramona's Dec. 15 tournament game. The Cougars' 5-1 victory included a goal by Ramona junior Keiana Williams. Rain fell in San Diego County on Dec. 15 and Dec. 16. "The rainy day kind of let up when we were playing, so we didn't have to deal with the weather too much. We were kind of cold," Vizcarra said.
University City High School was the site of Ramona's 2-1 loss Dec. 16 against High Tech High School of San Diego. The Storm scored both first-half goals. "We had a really bad first half. Deflections were going off in all different directions," Vizcarra said. Ramona narrowed the deficit in the second half with a goal by senior Sierra Crenshaw. The Bulldogs didn't abandon the tournament's Bronze Division completely; Ramona's junior varsity reached the division final before losing in a penalty kick shootout to Canyon Crest. The varsity team returns to practice Dec. 28, although during the school break this week and next Vizcarra will be seeking former Ramona players to participate in the Jan. 7 varsity-alumni game. Competition for the Bulldogs will resume Jan. 4 at Mission Bay High School. "We are learning a lot. We still have faith that they'll come together in the next few games and be competitive," Vizcarra said.
Prep Boys Soccer
Squad advances out of pool in Parker tournament BY JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School's boys soccer team and three other squads were in a pool of the Francis Parker Cup tournament, and the Bulldogs finished second in the pool to advance to the tournament semifinals. The Bulldogs had one win, one loss and one draw in their pool games. A semifinal loss against Bishop's left Ramona with a season record of 1-2-2. The Francis Parker Cup was a new tournament for Ramona, which last year competed in the SoCal Classic tournament in Oceanside. Francis Parker won the match with Ramona on the Parker field. The only scoring in the 1-0 victory was a penalty kick.
"I felt we played well enough to have an opportunity to win," said Ramona coach Michael Jordan. "We bounced back the next day." The score of the morning game at Parker between Ramona and Mira Mesa was 5-0 in Ramona's favor. Sophomore goalkeeper Lucas Marin had the shutout against the Marauders with the assistance of starting defenders Chato Castro, Jesus Gutierrez, Justice Mendoza and Manny Velasco. Five different players scored Ramona's goals including junior J.C. Valade and senior Zane Valade. "That's the first time I've had brothers score in the same game. That was pretty cool," Jordan

said. The other goals were scored by junior Mario Gonzales, senior Danny Edwards and senior Carson Charbonneau. Although Ramona had two games that day, they were played at different sites. The Bulldogs traveled to Patrick Henry High School to face Patrick Henry in the afternoon contest. Charbonneau's goal gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead, but the Patriots salvaged a 1-1 tie. "We conceded a late goal off a set piece," Jordan said. Francis Parker won the pool, and Ramona's second-place finish gave the Bulldogs a semifinal against Bishop's, which had finished first in the other pool. The Bulldogs and Knights
faced off on the Francis Parker field. "We played the first 20 minutes some of the best soccer I've ever seen Ramona play," Jordan said. Ramona took a 2-0 lead on two Edwards goals. "He was attacking from the left wing and posing all kinds of problems," Jordan said. The Ramona lead was 2-1 at halftime, and Bishop's ended the game on the winning end of the 4-2 score. "That's been our problem all year. We can't close games," Jordan said. Ramona and Mira Mesa are in Division III for CIF playoff purposes. Bishop's, Francis Parker and Patrick Henry are in Division II. "We competed with them," Jordan said.

Stacy receives MVP at football banquet Four-year players join Legacy Club BY JOE NAIMAN
The Ramona High School football post-season banquet Dec. 4 included the selection of junior Tristan Stacy as the team's Most Valuable Player. Andrew “It just goes to Finley show that you don't have to be big to be great,” said head coach Damon Baldwin. The 5'9", 165-pound Stacy is a running back, safety and kick Dawson returner. During Castro the 2016 season his 13 touchdowns consisted of five rushing scores, four kickoffs returned into the end zone, two receptions taken beyond the goal line, one punt return in which he eluded potential tacklers, and one interception which added six Bulldogs points. His 69 rushing carries totaled 432
yards for a 6.3-yard average, his 338 receiving yards on 27 catches equate to 15.4 yards per reception, and his 747 yards on 20 kickoff returns gave Eder Landgrave him an average of 37.4 yards. He also gained 201 yards on punt returns and 42 yards on his only interception of the season. Stacy made 15 solo tackles and was also involved Dylan Imig in 23 assisted tackles. He is the first junior to be selected as the team's Most Valuable Player. “That's pretty cool,” Baldwin said. “We're really looking forward to him having a great year next season.” The players selected most of the awards, although the coaching staff determined the recipients of the Team All-In Award and the Ryan Morgan Memorial Coaches Award.

Tristan Stacy Most Valuable Player “I think they did a great job choosing,” Baldwin said. The team also honored its eight "Legacy Club" players who were in the program (including freshman and junior varsity teams) for all four of their high school years. “We made a big emphasis on the four-year player,” Baldwin said. “We're going to try to go back and really start honoring that.” Dawson Castro, Kolton Davis, Andrew Finley, Hunter Gurrola, Dylan Imig, Travis Johnson, Eder Landgrave and Wyatt Stevens were honored as four-year football
Prep Boys Basketball
Tougher tournament challenges Bulldogs BY JOE NAIMAN Zack Cole, Ramona High School's boys basketball coach last year, is from New Mexico, so he took Ramona's team to a tournament in the Land of Enchantment before returning to that state. This year’s head coach, Dan Marshall, replaced the New Mexico tournament with the North County Classic tournament, which proved to be tougher competition for the Bulldogs. Although Ramona won the Baron-Matador Classic tournament for the second consecutive year, the Bulldogs were 1-4 in the North County Classic and ended that tournament with a 5-5 season record. "We won four straight, but we lost four straight," Marshall said. "We put ourselves in one of the toughest tournaments in San Diego, so it was a pretty challenging week." Baron-Matador Classic play for Ramona started the Bulldogs' season at home against Mira Mesa, but the Marauders were on the preferred end of the 81-69 final score. The Bulldogs won their remaining four games in that
tournament with a 71-51 triumph against San Pasqual, a 70-65 win against Bonita Vista, a 52-43 victory against Chula Vista, and a 69-61 win against Mount Miguel on the Matadors' court. Blake Seits, who scored 29 points against Mount Miguel, is Ramona's only returning starter from 2015-16. "Zack had a different type of team last year," Marshall said. "We're a new team with a new coach, with a new system." Three of Ramona's other four 2015-16 starters — Hunter Gurrola, Jake Newman and Austin Pierce — were on last season's varsity. This season's other starter, Skyler Marushige, began his high school career at Julian High School and was on the Eagles' varsity. Cameron Necochea, who has also started games for Ramona this season, was also on the 2015-16 varsity. The Bulldogs had semester finals the week of the five North County Classic games. Ramona's game against Temecula Valley at San Marcos High School was a 98-63 victory for the Golden Bears. A return trip to San Marcos handed
Ramona a 53-46 loss to La Costa Canyon. Vista High School was the site of Ramona's 81-65 defeat against Rancho Bernardo, and Poway won the game at Vista High School 72-51. Ramona salvaged a tournament victory Dec. 17 with a 66-60 triumph over Mt. Carmel at San Marcos. Seits provided 23 of the Bulldogs' points. "We were playing quality teams in all five games, so we knew it was going to be a challenge for us," Marshall said. "The teams we played were really well-coached, good teams." The 25-6 season record of the 2015-16 Bulldogs includes two wins and one loss in the CIF Division III playoffs. Ramona has been moved up to Division II for 2016-17. "We'd like to win all of those games, but we learned a lot about the team," Marshall said of the North County Classic. "Those tough games definitely helped us get better." The Bulldogs' final regular-season tournament of 2016-17, the Aztec Holiday Classic hosted by Montgomery High School, begins Dec. 26.
player Legacy Club members. Gurrola, Imig, Johnson and Stevens were also recognized for their role as captains of the 2016 team. Landgrave was the Hunter recipient of this Gurrola year's Scholar Athlete Award. Finley was presented with the Team All-In Award, and Stevens took home the Ryan Morgan Memorial Coaches Award. Stacy was also Kolton selected as the Davis Special Teams Most Valuable Player. Castro was the Bulldogs' Offensive Most Valuable Player. The Defensive Most Valuable Player award was shared by junior Joaquin Gonzales and sophomore Jack Drews. Stevens was voted as the Offensive Lineman of the Year and junior Gabriel Stallman was the Defensive Lineman of the Year. Two juniors were voted as the most improved players by their teammates: Dominic McManus was
FROM PLAYGROUND, A1 (FORUS), money raised during the 2015 carnival paid for a new water fountain. FORUS paid for a second new water fountain that year, and FORUS member and Ramona Elementary parent Perla Martinez organized a Tips for Sips fundraiser at Nuevo Grill & Cantina that paid for a third new water fountain at the school. “What are we going to raise money for this year?” was the question at the 2016 ELAC meeting, recalled Kubinak. The answer: a new and more interesting play structure that more students will use. ELAC’s 2016 carnival raised $2,800 toward a new playground. When campus supervisor Andy Diaz died in June, his wife asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations go toward the new playground. As of last week, the project had received $390 in Diaz’s memory. Ramona Elementary PTA has committed a minimum of $1,000 to the project, and FORUS plans to vote at its Jan. 11 meeting to contribute at least $1,000. T-shirt sales at the school have added $346 to the project. The school district has said it will provide the rest in money, labor and other contract help, noted Kubinak. The state architect is scheduled to be at the district to approve the project on Dec. 22, and the district,
the Most Improved Offensive Player and Christian Gabriel was the Most Improved Defensive Player. The Scout Offense Player of the Year Travis was junior Zach Johnson Kudrawec and the Scout Defensive Player of the Year was senior Brendan Johnson. The banquet, held in the Barona Resort and Casino Events Center, included a season Wyatt highlight video and Stevens a slideshow of Ramona's 13 seniors as well as food and award presentations. "It went great," Baldwin said. "I think the kids really enjoyed it." The team mothers led by Melanee Berman organized the banquet. Ramona's 5-6 season record for 2016 includes a loss to Vista in the first round of the CIF Division I playoffs and a 3-3 Palomar League record which placed the Bulldogs third in the seven-team standings. with school board approval, may go out to bid on the project as soon as January, Kubinak, a FORUS director, told FORUS members at their Dec. 14 meeting. Work is expected to be completed during spring break in April. The new and updated play structure will have a variety of play options and a pour-in-place rubber surfacing that is long lasting and similar to the surface of the new playground at Barnett Elementary, said Kubinak. Among project features are two slides, a bongo perch, end ladders, orbit climber, stationary hover beam, inverted horizontal loop ladder, chinning bar, buttress panel climbers, serpent trek, a dip station and a wave walker hip climber. It will have the capacity to accommodate up to 94 students at one time. The play area will be used during the school day, by students in the after-school program and by the community when school is not in session, the grant application states. The last time county money went to play equipment at Ramona Elementary was in 2001, when Jacob recommended and county supervisors approved $55,000 for the kindergarten playground students still use, said Kubinak. In her application cover letter, Kubinak said Ramona Elementary, built in the 1940s, is the oldest school in the district and 80 percent of its students are socioeconomically disadvantaged.

FROM POT, A1 Dave Roberts in District 3. “That could make a difference and where we go with our ordinance,” she said. Jacob said it would take three votes on the five-member board to ban dispensaries and when she proposed one in March she had the support of Supervisor Bill Horn. Without enough votes at that time, however, the board instead adopted a 45-day moratorium on medical pot shops, directing staff to come back with ordinance revisions. That moratorium was extended in April until March 2017. “Everything’s on the table as far as I’m concerned, including a ban,” Jacob said. Ramona was poised to have several medical marijuana collective facilities before the town’s planning group brought its concerns, among them impaired drivers on the winding roads, to Jacob. One licensed dispensary. ShowGrow at 736 Montecito Way, was already operating, and another one, at 1210 Olive St., is allowed to open because the applicant had an approved building permit and had made a substantial investment before the moratorium. The owner of a
third one, 618 Pine St., can also open but said he will not utilize the site as a dispensary so Ramona will be limited to two. Proposed amendments call for limiting the number of dispensaries to four in any one supervisorial district and to two in any one community; restricting dispensary hours to 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; restricting the purchasing age to 21 and older (state law allows a minimum of 18); requiring security guards and security cameras on site; requiring a minor use permit; and including fines for ordinance violators and accelerated fines for repeat offenders. Ramona Community Planning Group (RCPG) chair Jim Piva, who was at the revitalization meeting, told the RCPG Dec. 1 that it should be represented at the Jan. 25 supervisors’ meeting. He noted that the county Planning Commission endorsed most of the RCPG’s recommended amendments. He also cautioned that more issues may be coming down the road with marijuana cultivation and the legalization of recreational pot. Jacob addressed recreational marijuana legalization as approved by
FROM SCHOOL FINANCES, A1 Ramona, the RTA contract will, beginning Jan. 1, offer a $7,500 signing bonus to recruit credentialed teachers in high demand subject areas. The bonus will be in three installments of $2,500 each, with the last when the teacher receives tenure. Teachers also will see an increase in pay for extra-curricular activities. The maximum average class size in transitional kindergarten through third grade will be 25 students to one teacher, excluding Mountain Valley Academy Independent Study, where the maximum will be 28:1. According to the district’s website, the current salary range for teachers for a 184-day work year is $41,153 for a first-year teacher with a bachelor’s degree to $93,050 for a 30-year teacher earning a doctorate. The range for counselors, librarians and teachers on assignment is $44,034 to $99,459. Psychologists have a 196-day work year. The website does not yet reflect the raises approved last Thursday. The hourly rate for support workers ranges from $11.41 to $45.61, the website shows. More information is online at www.ramonausd.net. Unlike the San Diego Unified trustees who approved wage hikes for employees and then said the district may not be able to meet its financial obligations, Ramona trustees approved a report that showed that Ramona Unified is in a stronger financial position than when they adopted the budget in June.

voters in November. Passage of Proposition 64 immediately allowed adults, age 21 and older, to possess, transport and buy up to 28.5 grams of marijuana and to grow up to six marijuana plants, but non-medical marijuana retailers will not be able to open until they can obtain a state license. The measure gives the state until Jan. 1, 2018, to begin issuing such licenses. But recreational pot retailers won’t be allowed in the unincorporated county as the zoning ordinance now reads, according to the supervisor. San Diego County’s medical marijuana ordinance addresses non-medical marijuana in terms of banning it, said Jacob. “So we’re good under 64 as far as commercial operations for recreational marijuana — it currently is banned in the unincorporated area,” she said. Jacob added she believes legalizing marijuana is big trouble and pointed out it is still illegal under federal law. Lt. Jerry Hartman of the sheriff’s Ramona station said that under Prop. 64, basically wherever smoking is allowed, smoking pot is also now permitted.

presented the report, one of two budget updates the state requires each year — the first on Dec. 15 and the second on March 15. “I think Ramona Unified has a bright fiscal future — as long as we’re careful, as long as we’re making progress, as long as we do the things that we’ve started doing,” said Ostermann. After years of “qualified” budgets during the recession, “we’re heading in the right direction,” he said, adding, “It’s a large ship, it takes time to move, time to slow that thing down.” A qualified budget means a district may not meet its financial obligations for the current year or two subsequent years. State law requires districts to prepare multi-year projections that include the current year and the next two years. Ostermann called the Dec. 15 report “a snapshot in time” when assumptions such as enrollment, staffing and state revenue in the budget approved in June have been updated. Included in the report is the projection of a 5.6 percent reserve at the end of the 2018-19 school year, he said. The district, which receives a cash report every week, has $11.3 million in its general fund, he said. Another positive indicator is that Standard & Poor’s, the credit rating agency that gave the district a “negative outlook” a year and a half ago upgraded the district to a “stable outlook” in November. The district retains its A rating with S&P, he said. The district has made three semi-annual payments on the $25.8 million loan it
refinanced a year and a half ago. Since then, $1.8 million in principal and interest has been paid. Of that, $495,000 was applied to principal, the report showed. At least $600,000 of the payment in May will go toward the principal, and starting in 2017-18 at least $1.2 million will go to the principal annually. “And just like a home mortgage, it escalates up, so we’re going to make some really good dents on the principal,” said Ostermann. As a result of refinancing the loan in spring 2015, the district has level annual payments of $2.1 million until 2032 rather than the escalating payments in the previous loan, and is projected to save about $7.8 million over the previous loan. Ostermann said that various factors can affect the assumptions in the multi-year report: • Different opinions of how Proposition 39, the extension of a tax increase on high income earners, will affect school revenue. “We’re going to have to wait and see,” said Ostermann. • The Affordable Care Act. “Whatever the new president does, how that will affect us, we don’t know,” he said. • Pension contributions for school employees will increase. • Enrollment. While the decline is slowing, the district has had 15 years of declining enrollment for a total of 1,700 students. “That is our biggest financial struggle,” said Ostermann. • Energy savings. The district has taken steps to save on energy, and it anticipates more, he said. • Looking at all programs and operations

Ostermann credited Supt. Anne Staffieri, Ed.D., with providing “a new set of eyes, a new set of ways to think and to ask questions” since she started with the district on July 1. The district will consider “different out of the box ideas” to reduce costs or add revenue, he said. “They might work, they might not, but let’s at least explore some new places to try to get a little more revenue,” he said. Before trustees approved the report in a 5-0 vote, parent Kim Newcomer expressed concern about the shrinking ending balances in the projections: $6.5 million at the end of the 2016-17 budget year, $4.6 million at the end of the ’17-18 year, and $1.8 million at the end of the ’18-19 year. “When I look at that, I think what is our strategy?” she said. “…Are we going to go for another bond measure, which looks to me like a Band-Aid, not a solution.” She suggested using a pie chart so the public can easily see what percentage of the budget is for salaries, benefits, supplies, etc. “That would be really helpful for the public to see what we spend our money on, so they can feel really confident that they want to support what the district is doing,” she said. The report showed revenues of $68.4 million and expenses of $61.9 million this year. Projected revenues and expenses for 2017-18 are, respectively, $64 million and $59.4 million, and for 2018-19 projected revenues are $62.3 million and projected expenses are $60.4 million.

100 - LEGAL NOTICES Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. 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, CA0700100016-1. 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.

NEWHARD. A Petition for Probate has been filed by RANDY NEWHARD in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego. The petition for Probate requests that RANDY NEWHARD be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 01/26/2017 Time: 1:30 p.m. Dept.: PC-2. Room: Address of court: 1409 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Stephanie S.

Pomerado Hospital is now Palomar Medical Center Poway. The new name better reflects the nature of Palomar Health’s comprehensive healthcare system with medical centers across North County, said the announcement. “Pomerado Hospital has been an important part of the Poway community since 1977. The new name — Palomar Medical Center Poway — better reflects that it is part of an innovative, comprehensive healthcare system,” said Bob Hemker, president and CEO of Palomar Health. “The warm community feeling that makes it a special place will always be part of the hospital.” As part of this change, Palomar Health’s medical centers are named for their locations in the community: Palomar Medical Center Poway 15615 Pomerado Road, Poway Palomar Medical Center Escondido 2185 Citracado Parkway, Escondido, CA 92029 Palomar Medical Center Downtown Escondido 555 East Valley Parkway, Escondido While the name may be changing, the passion of the people who serve there remains, noted Hemker. In addition to general medical and surgical services, Palomar Medical Center Poway will continue to offer 24-hour emergency services, labor and delivery, a neonatal intensive care unit, cardiovascular care, orthopedic services, wound care, a neuropsychiatric unit, a surgical weight loss program, and rehabilitation services. The hospital is also a certified advanced cardiac lifesaving care treatment facility. Palomar Medical Center Poway has been certified by The Joint Commission as a Primary Stroke Center, and a CMS Center of Excellence in Stroke, Diabetes Management, and Bariatric Surgery. It has also been designated by Blue Distinction for Quality in Gastric Banding, Gastric Stapling, Maternity Services, and Hip and Knee Replacement. In addition, the hospital has the lowest length of stay in San Diego County for total hip and knee replacement surgery — a key metric for gauging quality. About Palomar Health Palomar Health is the most comprehensive healthcare delivery system in northern San Diego County and the first California member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network. It is the largest public healthcare district by area in the state, with about 500,000 residents, and is governed by a publicly-elected board of directors.

Guests for the holidays? Simple recipes may relieve stress The holiday season has arrived, which means it’s that time of year when guests expect you to bring them some figgy pudding — or any type of pudding for that matter. After all, those guests likely subscribe to the idea that grabbing an extra slice of ham or overindulging in that box of chocolate-covered cherries couldn’t hurt the waistline all that much. “Luckily, it’s also oversized sweater and sweatpants season,” says Chef Blakely Trettenero, who knows a thing or two about holiday main courses and desserts, and writes about her culinary adventures on her blog, Everyday Gourmet with Blakely (www.gourmetwithblakely.com). And if you’re just as inclined as your guests to sneak yourself an extra helping of whatever delicious dish you dream up — well, she can relate. She offers a simple recipe that can help make holiday-hosting duties less painful so you can spend more time sipping eggnog by the fireplace. Braised Short Ribs Ingredients 1. 4 pounds bone in beef short ribs 2. Salt 3. Pepper 4. Garlic powder 5. Olive oil 6. 2 onions, diced 7. 3 carrots, diced 8. 5 cloves garlic, minced 9. 2 tablespoons tomato paste 10. 1 cup red wine 11. 4 cups beef broth 12. 4 sprigs fresh rosemary 13. 10 sprigs fresh thyme 14. 2 bay leaves Instructions 1. In a heavy bottomed pan (or Dutch oven) heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. Preheat oven to 375
Braised Short Ribs degrees. 2. Completely pat dry all of the short ribs. Put them on a paper towel to soak up any moisture. 3. Heavily season the short ribs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. 4. Working in batches, sear ribs until a beautiful brown on every side. Put the browned short ribs on a plate while you work on the next batch. 5. Once all short ribs have been browned, add the onions, carrots, and garlic to the pan, letting it cook for a few minutes. 6. To the vegetables, add the tomato paste, stirring to coat everything, and let it cook another 5 minutes to cook out that raw tomato paste flavor. 7. Add the red wine and stir everything, scraping up all of the browned bits on the bottom for flavor. 8. Add back in the short ribs, add the beef broth, rosemary and thyme on the top, and the bay leaves. 9. Put the lid on and put the pot into the oven. Let cook for 2 1/2 hours.
