Ofﬁcials are investigating an attempted abduction of a Ramona High School student on her way to school. An older man attempted to force the girl into a gray sedan as she walked to school Monday morning, Principal Tony Newman said in a telephone message to parents of all RHS students. The girl described the

man as 50ish, with white hair and a white beard, and wearing a white hat, sunglasses, a green jacket and a plaid shirt, said Newman. She was walking alone along San Vicente Road off 11th Street near the propane tanks behind the Ra-

mona Terrace Estates mobile home park between 7:30 and 7:50 a.m. when the man rolled down the window of the vehicle and tried to convince her to get in the car, said Newman. Sgt. Daniel Vengler with the sheriff’s Ramona substation said the sus-

pect initially told the girl, “It’s raining. I’ll give you a ride.” She refused, Vengler said, and the man said, in a more demanding tone, “get in the car.” The girl ran into the ﬁeld past the tanks “and got onto the campus the back way,” said Newman. She reported the incident to school ofﬁcials, who contacted her mother. “Mom came to the school, picked her up and took her to the police sta-

tion,” Newman said Monday afternoon, adding that the student was back in school. In a telephone message to the parents of all RHS students, Newman asked them to remind their children to take safety measures while walking to and from school. “Try not to walk alone, walk with friends,” said Newman. “When apSee FOILED CRIME on page 42

Life, the greatest gift of all

Organ donor, recipient share their stories

By PIXIE SULSER Tis’ the season — for giving. Kathy Savage, secretary at Olive Peirce Middle School, and OPMS seventh-grader Zachary Okesson know what it is like to give and receive the greatest gift of all — the gift of life. As an organ donor, Savage gave a kidney to her niece, and at the age of 2, Zachary received a heart as a donor recipient. Savage’s story started in the fall of 2010 when her niece by marriage was diagnosed with kidney failure. “It really came as a surprise,” said Savage. “Andrea, my niece, and my nephew were just starting out their marriage and living in San Francisco. At 30 years old, she was healthy,

going camping and mountain biking with no indication of any health problems.” Her niece experienced some unusual swelling, and at the urging of a family member who is a nurse she went to the doctor. “It was discovered that Andrea had diabetes and kidney failure,” said Savage. “Her kidney function went down to 2 percent very rapidly. Andrea was on dialysis 9 to 10 hours a day. She couldn’t do anything that she used to do.” Possible donors within the family were exhausted and a match was not found. Of Chinese heritage, Andrea had an aunt living in China who was a possible match. The family was in the process of getting the necessary documents to bring the aunt to America when Savage

Man burned in restaurant propane fire By KAREN BRAINARD A man was burned from a small propane gas explosion while installing new grease fryers at San Vicente Inn Monday morning, said Mario Trejo, general manager of San Diego Country Estates. Ramona Fire Department Capt. Janae Shoemaker said the male was flown by Mercy Air to UCSD Medical Center with moderate burns on his upper body. According to Trejo, the burn victim was an employee of Pacific Rim Mechanical, the company installing the new fryers. “As they were installing the equipment, there were

ing,” he said. Staff called 911 and the sheriff’s and fire departments responded right away, Trejo noted. No employees, customers or homeowners were injured, the general manager added. The fire occurred around

9:15 a.m. Trejo said Oaks Grille would be closed for the remainder of Monday and on Tuesday while an investigation was conducted, and reports filed with the appropriate agencies. “It doesn’t look like there’s any substantial damage, clean-up mostly,” said Trejo.

Man suspected in fifth armed robbery A suspect whose surveillance video photo was published in last week’s Ramona Sentinel is believed to be involved in a fifth armed robbery. The five armed robberies were reported in Ramona between July 22 and Dec. 6, and one of the suspects was captured on surveillance video during an armed robbery at Los Rancheros taco shop on Sept. 24. The Sheriff’s Department and San Diego County Crime Stoppers are offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect. Detective Tom Seiver describes the suspect as a Latino man who is thin, about 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and probably in his early 20s, with a light complexion. Seiver said the man was armed with a semi-automatic handgun and took money in all of the robberies. The first robbery was reported at 9:24 a.m. July 22 at Ransom Brothers Lum-

Ramona H.E.A.R.T. launches first mural project For the past 18 months, a small group of enthusiastic volunteers has been working to bring the first mural of an ambitious outdoor art mural program to Ramona. The mission of the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project is “To encourage economic vitality by increasing tourism, promoting community pride, and celebrating our rich cultural heritage through an outstanding outdoor visual arts program.” Over the months the group has incorporated, applied for its nonprofit status, loaded its board of directors with community leaders, and formed liaisons with other organizations in the area. They have created a database of artists in the Southern California area who are experienced with outdoor mural techniques. They have created an inventory of Main Street area buildings with wall “canvasses” for murals, talked to building owners, given presentations to nearly every community group in town, and started fundraising and applying for grants. In May, they reached a point in their evolution where they were ready to publish their first “Artist’s Call,” which is a request for proposals from muralists for the artwork, specifying the building surface, location, size, general theme and budget. The first building for a mural had been secured with a written agreement with the building owners, and a theme for the mural is identified — a process involving discussions and consensus among the board and the owners. All the murals will follow H.E.A.R.T., an acronym coined to reflect Ramona’s location in the geographic center of the county (the heart of San Diego Coun-

ty). “H” stands for Historic and Hiking, “E” for Equine, “A” for Arts, Antiques and Agriculture, “R” for scenic rural vistas and drives, and “T” for Tasting of fine wines (Ramona Valley was designated an American Viticultural Area in 2006 by the federal government.) Approximately a dozen responses to the Artist’s Call were received and reviewed, and the field narrowed down, with a final candidate chosen. “A conscious effort was made to try to ensure a very professional artwork would be produced,” said S. Elaine Lyttleton, president of Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project. “While the H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project wants to encourage the participation of local amateurs and students in the future, it was felt that a high standard needed to be set for others to follow.” The board was pleased to secure the talents of John and Jeanne Whalen, the artists renowned in San Diego for painting the mural of Charles Lindberg on the Commuter Terminal at the San Diego Airport. More about the artists is at www. wall-itgraphics.com The tower area of the Town & Country Real Estate & Home Loans building at the corner of Main and 10th streets will be the location of the first mural, and the topic will be American cowboy, rodeo performer and actor, Casey Tibbs. Tibbs lived in Ramona for part of his life and died here in 1990. San Diego Country Estates named its western equestrian center after him in ceremonies earlier this year. Tibbs was also honored at the Rodeo Hall of Fame and was featured on the cover of Life Magazine in 1951. His favorite color was purple and when he performed

almost always wore a purple bandana. The building and the topic for this mural was arrived at through months of talking with various building owners, researching subjects that reflect the H.E.A.R.T. of Ramona and would fit within a constrained budget, according to Lyttleton “All aspects of Ramona will eventually be depicted in various murals throughout the town from current activities back through ancient native history,” she said. “The Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee, for

example, has been a strong supporter of the project, which the chamber board has now endorsed. They will launch a fundraiser in the New Year for a mural sponsored by them, which they want to be a collage focusing on antiques, equine and agriculture — the main commerce of Ramona.” The H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project has received a generous donation from the San Vicente Saddle See MURAL on page 24

OPINION

Editorial

School District and Teachers Association Need to Work Together

s with many government and state entities, the Ramona school district faces increasing costs while revenue (declining enrollment) continues to decline. Deficit budget spending must end and a balanced budget must be put in place. Previous school boards have not addressed the hard budget issues, and deficit spending has been passed along year after year. Superintendent Robert Graeff stated the grim news in last week’s Sentinel, projecting an end-of-year deficit of $2.8 million, and for the school year 2013-14 an even larger deficit of $8.3 million. This deficit situation may or may not be accurate, but it is not new, and has been building for several years (paying off a $25 million dollar loan, approved by a prior school board used to build Hanson Elementary and various other improvement projects has also added to the deficit spending). Transparency is the new buzz word for honest negotiations, and it’s certainly pertinent here. Leadership is another quality that needs to be demonstrated by both the district and the Ramona Teachers Association (RTA). Superintendent Graeff has a plan that he will be presenting to the school board which proposes cuts and reductions in several areas (but you can only cut so many bus drivers, janitors and office staff before there is no support) and has reached out to the RTA to start a conversation on how to help reduce benefit and salary costs which amount to nearly 90% of the budget. Although a final budget is not in place, and won’t be for several months, now is the time for all parties to stop the finger-pointing and start to work together on possible solutions. The further you plan ahead, the easier to make adjustments. The district and the RTA have the opportunity to rise to the occasion and really show that it is “all about the kids.” The question is, will they? Jeff Mitchell Publisher

Ramona teachers respond to superintendent By KARIN YUHL and DONNA BRAYE-ROMERO Dr. Graeff states that he wants to engage in transparent, collaborative and well-intentioned negotiations, and yet he is choosing to engage in direct public bargaining that demonstrates an illegal, unfair labor practice. In the past the bargaining window has always been in the spring. When the district made the decision to open the negotiations for the 2012-13 school year in October of 2011, the teachers were caught completely off guard. Our bargaining sessions are based on the state budget and the first proposal for that

Guest Commentary does not even arrive until January 2012, with the actual budget not being completed until the summer. At this time the district has no actual budget information available for us to look at and discuss in regards to the 2012-13 school year. It would be irresponsible for us to sit down to discuss this information based on district projections when those projections have been wildly inaccurate for the past several years. For example, the projected ending balance for the 2010-11 school

year was $184,677.94. In fact, the actual ending balance for that year was $8,194,394.76. We believe that it would be detrimental to the students that we teach to engage in bargaining based upon knee-jerk speculation instead of reality. It is our intention to support our students in all aspects inside and outside the classroom. Ramona teachers have always engaged in good faith bargaining with the district and we are prepared to do so again this year when it is appropriate.

acres of agricultural land off of Warnock and Dye Roads, the site of the socalled “hog farm.” The entire affected parcel is just over 100 acres. The plan calls for solar arrays to be installed on the property

GUEST COMMENTARY

A look at the entire picture By STEVE KOCH This letter is in response to Dr. Graeff’s article in last week’s Sentinel. Dr. Graeff, This letter is being sent to all employees because I believe that it deserves the same audience as your original message. I sent it with some concern as well for possible repercussion, but I can no longer sit quietly and be told that the certificated and classified employees are bringing about the financial ruin of the Ramona Unified School District. It would be refreshing to hear the district admit that they made some very poor, if not ignorant, choices in paying for two new schools (along with the legal costs associated with these schools) in a district with “declining student enrollment.” Blaming past leadership does not take away the fact that our district is facing huge debts that are now due for the financing of these school sites and the accompanying legal costs brought on by their construction. Additionally, the legal costs associated with the district’s failure to comply with Title IX also has added to our budget issues. To simply ignore/hide the huge financial burden this places on our district makes it difficult to believe all the DO (district office), and you as the leader, continue to make known through public forums seem factual. You have consistently, if not eloquently, placed the bulk of the blame for our problem on teachers’ and classified employees’ unwillingness to pay dramatic increases in benefits or be threatened with layoffs and pay cuts. RUSD teachers have long accepted being paid less in salary than almost every other district in the county, making up for this by having a benefits package that allows us to take care of our families. Simultaneously, our test scores continue to rise, mulitple schools receive state and national recognition for their accomplishments, and support services for all students continue to be provided. I am not pleading poverty, just asking for honesty. What a gracious group of administrators who were willing to take that benefits reduction (which

they then took back), especially considering that their salary package places them from the middle to top end of administrative salary schedules in the county. As for your point regarding not replacing retiring employees, your plea for cooperation would seem more sincere if the DO bit the same bullet and did not hire a new assistant superintendent to replace the recent retiree. We are all doing more with less; should we accept any less from the DO? Do we need this position? The answer is yes, but we also need more teachers, custodians, bilingual aides, maintenance staff, all of whom are facing benefit reductions, pay cuts and layoffs. I truly appreciate the huge financial crisis facing our district and the State of California. My wife and I have a combined 45+ years of service to this district. Our children were born here and have benefited greatly from the education they have received here, and we will continue to serve all the children at our respective school sites with the highest level of care and professionalism. I am proud to live and work in Ramona. The people that I work with, certificated, classified, volunteers, and administrative staff continue to work hard on behalf of all the children of this community. We all realize that cuts have to be made and that each of us will have to bear the burden of our government’s poor choices regarding the funding of education, but my hope is in the future that the leaders of our district will shoulder their fair share and be completely honest with the public about all the reasons for our current fiscal crisis. The citizens of Ramona have always worked together, without placing blame, to help each through any crisis. I believe we will do the same as we work together for what is best for the children of our community.

the Ramona Community Planning Group. This proposed project will certainly have a major impact upon this community. Additionally, it will perhaps pave the way for other solar farm projects in this community. Whatever you think of the benefits of producing energy from renewable sources, the question Ramonans must ask themselves is whether or not such a project is appropriate in this community and, more precisely, in the proposed location. The Committee for a Better Ramona has created a community online poll at our website to gauge the community’s opinion regarding this project and/or similar projects. You can find the poll at www.BetterRamona.net. While there expressing your opinion regarding this project, please take the time to respond to the other polls posted. Only if we speak with a loud voice can we impact the course of our community, and only if we all join the chorus of Ramona’s voice will this be accomplished. We want to know what you think so that we can pass that information on to those making decisions. Visit www.BetterRamona.net, vote and register. Robert E.

Bulldog football fan, win or lose

As I stood in the bleachers, tears streaming down my face at the loss of the game against Lincoln High, I realized what a very challenging season this has been for the Ramona High School football

team. Then, after dwelling on this loss, I thought of how much of a winning team they are with such support of parents, the community and the values of organization, responsibility, leadership, respect and, most of all, teamwork that have been instilled by Coach Baldwin and his staff. The win will be that the team takes with them these important values to enhance their growth so that the community becomes a winner. Ramona Bulldogs varsity football team, best of luck with the rest of the school year. Coach Baldwin, good luck next season. I know I’ll be there in those bleachers, win or lose. M. Lazcano Ramona

We hold lots of views in common

I am a candidate running in the 50th Congressional District and I have been attending local town meetings. Last night I attended the Ramona Forum where three candidates were in attendance and one of these candidates was Terri Linnel the leader of the tea partiers in the 50th Congressional District. Since this was the first time I had ever met a living tea partier, I was naturally curious about her views and what struck me most was the fact that we both held a lot of views in common. Terri stated that Americans of whatever political persuasion have a lot more in common than they realize and those who hold power in America find it to their advantage to divide the people into quarrelling factions instead of encouraging them to unite in common causes

that would diminish their power and eliminate their corrosive effects on America. At the end of the meeting, we agreed to keep in touch. Connie Frankowiak Julian

Blessed to be part of Ramona Lutheran

Why I’m so blessed to be a part of Ramona Lutheran Church: Not only because my dad and grandpa helped build the church, and that all my sisters, including myself, have been baptized there. All my nieces and nephews, including my own daughter have been baptized there too. I could never get tired of going to my church. We have the nicest congregation. If I miss a few Sundays I’m not looked down upon, but always greeted with smiles and open arms. Our choir is composed of angels, whose singing makes you smile. Our pastor is the best (in my opinion) because I truly feel God speaks to me through him. (I sometimes get chills and emotional listening to his sermons.) Our church is the only church in Ramona that has a school for children to attend. The principal of the school, she is truly a godsend. The teachers are phenomenal, too! My church is small but mighty, a nice down-home country feel that is always so inviting. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Everyone there is so nice and so special in his or her own ways. I know that my church will always be there for me. That’s why I feel so blessed to be a part of Ramona Lutheran Church. Barrie Borchardt Ramona

Chanukah, the first struggle for religious freedom By RHODA HAMBURGER One of the most popular holidays in the Jewish calendar is Chanukah. This is not a religious observation, but the anniversary of the battle of a tiny army against a huge force that it defeated. Chanukah is also referred to as The Holiday of Lights since it is observed by the lighting of candles in a special candelabra (called a chanukiyah or menorah) for eight nights. Chanukah was the first struggle for reli-

gious freedom in the history of the world. It was the Jewish people’s announcement of their willingness to die for that right. In Congregation Etz Chaim this festival is second only to Passover in popularity and numbers of members who attend. This year Congregation Etz Chaim, the only Jewish presence in Ramona, will celebrate the holiday with services on Dec. 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the Rotunda of San Diego Country Estates, 16911 Gunn Stage Road. Rabbi Leslie Bergson will conduct the service, which instead of involving

prayers entails the telling of the story of the revolt of the Jews against the GreekSyrians in 165 B.C. Led by Mattathias Maccabee, a tiny force of Jews defeated a huge Greek army that sought to deprive the Jews of the right to practice their own religion. The Greeks had intentionally defiled the Temple in Jerusalem, and after their defeat, when it was cleansed and rededicated, a miracle occurred — although there was only enough sacred oil to keep the eternal light above the ark burning for

one day, it burned for eight days while fresh oil was being prepared. To commemorate that miracle, when Rabbi Leslie tells the story, all the children in the congregation will light a candle in their individual Menorahs. After the candle lighting, special refreshments that involve oil, such as blintzes (crepes), doughnuts and potato latkes (pancakes), will be served. For directions to the celebration, and for information about other congregation activities, call 760-789-2781.

County approves subdivision changes considered more developer-friendly By JOE NAIMAN An amendment to the County of San Diego’s Subdivision Ordinance that coordinates building permits with road construction is now in effect. The amendments, approved by county supervisors, include requiring

subdividers to develop a construction phasing plan that would be linked to rough grade approval and building permit issuance. That would allow developers to structure their developments through phasing, which would enable lot sales to pay for subsequent phases.

“What we’re trying to do is make sure that the roads are built at the time of the impact,” said Derek Gade, the county’s Land Use and Environmental Group project manager who oversees private development for the county Department of Public Works. “The roads are in place as homeown-

ers are starting to take ownership of the lots.” For smaller projects not requiring a construction phasing plan, off-site improvements generally will be completed before 75 percent of the rough grade releases or building permits are issued, a threshold intended to ensure that a

subdivision is not significantly populated before off-site improvements are completed. The director of DPW has the authority to make exceptions if the improvements are needed earlier either for public safety or to meet environmental regulations. The changes also include

a right of entry or temporary easement that allows the county access during the construction and a oneyear warranty period. According to the county, that will preserve the county’s right to complete required improvements that will be made on or accessed from private property.

Concert carries historical theme Members of the Ramona Community Brass Band will present their third annual Christmas concert at 5 p.m. on Dec 18 in the Performing Arts Wing at Ramona High School. Admission is free, but donations will help the band prepare for the next year of concerts and music. The RHS Royal Alliance Band Boosters will offer snacks during the show. The concert has a military and patriotic theme, and is billed as “Christmas On The Home Front, A Study in How America Celebrates Christmas in War Time.” Bandmaster Ken Serfass plans to do a timeline presentation with various carols and songs of the season that suit U.S. history, including period dressed re-enactors to set

the mood for each song. Some dialog and pantomime will go with some selections and some will also have vocalists. The concert will start with George Washington and his army at Valley Forge and continue through each of the nation’s historical periods, ending with the modern era. Accompanying each period will be holiday music. The modern era will be recognized with “O Holy Night” and a voiceover poem, “A Different Kind of Christmas Poem,” “which is about the current deployments of our troops and how we need to remember them,” said Serfass. Ramona’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post is supporting the concert, noted Serfass, and “all this fits

with the VFW bringing veterans to watch, and as well we are encouraging the military housing residents to come out for a salute and day of Christmas spirit. We also plan to serenade with some of the brass in the military housing area the day before, Saturday, Dec. 19th, while the VFW folks hand out the gifts to the kids there.” Serfass, a Ramona resident and retired U.S. Marine Corps band leader, is principal tubist with the San Diego Festival Chorus Orchestra, brass coach for the San Diego Youth Symphony and Ramona High School band, and assistant band director at Del Norte High School in the Poway school district. For more information about the concert, he may be contacted at 760-7894278.

Water supply outlook brightens for 2012, reports CWA The San Diego region’s water supply outlook for 2012 is much better than it was a year ago, but residents and businesses should still make efficient water use a part of daily life, the San Diego County Water Authority reported Thursday. Water authority directors received a report on water supply and demand conditions at its monthly meeting on Dec. 8. Staff attributed the improved supply conditions to several factors: • A wet winter in 201011 that led to substantial

improvements in reservoir levels locally, statewide and on the Colorado River. • Regional water use has remained below predrought levels in 2011, enabling water agencies to better manage available supplies. “Mother Nature and continuing wise water use by our residents, businesses and agricultural customers has helped lead to our best water supply situation in several years,” said Water Authority Board Chair Michael T. Hogan. “I commend our water customers for con-

Volunteers conduct free vacation checks San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, through its Senior Volunteer Patrol, offers free vacation checks. In Ramona, residents planning a vacation or trip may enroll in the program by completing the form available at the sheriff’s station at 1424 Montecito Road. Senior Volunteer Patrol members will perform security inspections outside your home Monday through Saturday while you are away. They will check if doors, windows and garages are locked and

will hide newspapers and packages in a side fence or back patio. If they see anything suspicious, they will call for the assistance of a deputy who will determine if there’s been a break-in. Vacationers will get a welcome home letter upon their return with a list of the days your home was checked and observations made during the visit. To take advantage of this free service, complete and return the vacation check form at the sheriff’s Ramona station.

Brown completes Marine basics Marine Corps Pvt. William R. Brown Jr, a 2010 graduate of Julian High School, recently completed 12 weeks of basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S. C., designed to challenge new Marine recruits physically and mentally. Brown and fellow recruits began their training at 5 a. m. by running three miles and performing calisthenics. In addition to the physical conditioning program, Brown spent numerous hours in classroom and field assignments that included learning first aid, uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship, hand-to-

hand combat and assorted weapons training. Recruits performed close order drill and operated as a small infantry unit during field training. Brown and other recruits also received instruction on the Marine Corps’ core values — honor, courage and commitment, and what the core values mean in guiding personal and professional conduct. They ended the training phase with The Crucible, a 54-hour, team evolution culminating in an emotional ceremony in which recruits are presented the Marine Corps Emblem and addressed as “Marines” for the first time.

tinuing to use water wisely, even after shortage-related mandatory water use restrictions were lifted this spring. However, it will be important for all of us to continue to use water wisely as a part of everyday life. We are still at the end of a long water supply pipeline, and a return to dry conditions or ongoing regulatory challenges in the Bay-Delta can threaten our supplies again.” Water storage on the Colorado River, where San Diego County gets more than half of its water supply, has increased

5.7 million acre-feet this year, according to the water authority. An acre-foot is 325,900 gallons, considered enough to supply two average single-family households of four for a year. Meanwhile, key State Water Project reservoirs in Northern California, the source for about 20 percent of the region’s water supply, added nearly 2 million acre-feet of storage in 2011 and are above their average levels for this time of year. Storage levels in Southern California have improved as well. The Met-

ropolitan Water District of Southern California, the water authority’s largest imported water supplier, projects its storage reserves, which include facilities inside and outside of Southern California, will hit a historic high of 2.4 million acre-feet at the end of 2011. In San Diego County, local reservoir storage rose to approximately 342,800 acre-feet in November, a 19 percent increase compared to a year ago. Water use in the region from January through October 2011 has increased

about 2 percent compared to the same period a year ago. Regional water use has stayed basically flat since mandatory water use restrictions ended in late April, increasing about 1 percent from May through October 2011 compared to the same sixmonth period in 2010. The full water supply outlook report is available online at www.sdcwa.org/sites/default/files/ files/board/2011-monthly/2011_12_08/Boardpacket-2011-12-08.pdf (Water Planning Committee, page 139).

The Zebra Whisperer

By JAE MARCIANO

e have all heard of the Horse Whisperer, but Zebra Whisperer? Yes, that’s right and right here in our own backyard. Nancy Nunke, a 40-year horse clinician, operates the Hearts and Hands Animal Rescue, a non-profit 501c3 organization located at the Spots and Stripes Ranch (www.hhar.org). The ranch donates the land to the rescue mission, which takes in injured

wild and domestic animals and rehabilitates them. When I drove up to the ranch, I was immediately greeted, rather aggressively, by Zinty, one of the rescue zebras. He came straight up to me and pushed me up against my truck and sniffed me. Then he showed me his teeth. I looked up for help. Nancy quickly came out and told me what to do. I was amazed at the strength of a zebra. I have owned many horses and this was a completely new experience. I could not believe how strong this zebra was. Nancy explained that Zinty was checking me out and letting me know right away that it was his territory. He was treating me like a predator. This is the first big difference in training wild animals versus domesticated

ones. Zebras never leave behind their wild side, so the rescue and training of these great creatures becomes a lot trickier and intimidating. But not for Nancy, who lets the zebras teach her how to teach them. Her trademark in this business has always been alternative training methods where she incorporates four strategies of getting the animals to perform. The methods she uses retain the personality of the animal without breaking the animal’s spirit. After many years as a horse trainer, Nancy learned an entirely new way to train animals that the zebras showed her how to do. “We have to grant them their intelligence. They will do things happily without force if you just ask them in a different way,” explained Nancy. She has over 25 head of three different species, including Grant’s Zebras, Hartmann’s Mountain Zebras (endangered) and Grevy’s Zebra (endangered). She also has Pres. Horses, chickens, cats, dogs, camels, alpacas, miniature horses, goats, and more, all living together happily at the ranch as one big family. I spent about two hours with Nancy and her camels and zebras and it felt truly like a zoo family. The baby zebras run around and greet you. Zinty, of course, keeps an eye on everyone to make sure he knows where you are and what you are doing at all times. Donkeys and zebras are baying in the background, and camels look on and wait their turn for attention. I watch as she works with a 6-month-old camel in the ring, first showing

him what she wants him to do and then telling him to do it with one word commands. As he follows her lead, she rewards him with an “I Love you” and a kiss. The connection between Nancy and these wild animals is amazing to say the least, hence her nickname as the zebra whisperer is most fitting. Nancy has strong views on training that she has accumulated through all of her experiences and continues to modify as she learns from her animal rescues. She believes that every horse should be trained the way a zebra MUST be trained, as they are the ultimate equine. As an example, with love and affection she helps one of the baby zebras back into a bean bag chair to sit for a rest. Quite a sight to see. It’s been a magical morning for me and all I can think of is that this place has been here for years

and I never knew about it. More people need to know the fantastic work that animal lovers are doing in our community; so I ask Nancy how I can help. The Hearts and Hands Animal Rescue organization spends roughly $8,000 per month on feed alone. The veterinary bills are another subject as she tries to do the majority of the work herself, although some of the conditions of the animals she takes in need veterinary care right away. Every day all of the animals need to be played with and trained and cared for, and Nancy only has a handful of volunteers to help out. Her greatest needs are more volunteers and of course a way to pay for the enormous feed bill every month. Since her home burned down in the last firestorm, she has had to spend all of her money on feed rather than re-

Carioscia went missing on Oct. 26, 2010, after telling his family he was going surfing in Pacific Beach. His burned-out car was found the next day on the tribal grounds south of Ramona, and on Dec. 4 detectives found his body near the San Vicente Reservoir.

Stayed tuned for next month’s article, as we check in on Chancey, the pony that was mauled by pit bulls and left to die, but is now living happily at the ranch with Nancy and all of his new friends.

detectives that Lloyd grew tired of buying the anxiety prescription drug Xanax from Carioscia and hatched a plan to steal drugs from the victim and kill him, prosecutor David Williams III alleged. Sheriff’s authorities said Carioscia was shot several times with a .357- caliber handgun some time between the evening of Oct. 26, 2010, and the morning of Oct. 27, 2010. Lloyd will be back in court Jan. 18 for his case to be assigned to a courtroom.

Business News Charitable Giving Helps Everyone

o participate in the spirit of the holiday season, you may be thinking of making some charitable gifts. If so, you’ll no doubt enjoy helping a group that does valuable work. But to begin with, it’s important to understand just how necessary your gifts are to the country’s social fabric. Given the effects of the Great Recession and the slow recovery, it’s not surprising to learn that charitable giving fell a combined 13% in 2008 and 2009, after adjusting for inflation, according to The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. And although 2010 giving increased by 2.1%, again adjusted for inflation, many groups are seeing tough times as 2011 comes to a close. So your gift counts. And it can count for you, too. By contributing to a qualified tax-exempt organization [e.g., a charitable group that has received 501(c)(3) status from the IRS], you may earn valuable tax deductions. This is true whether you give cash or another type of asset, such as stocks or real estate. And you may be able to get further tax benefits if

the noncash asset you’ve donated has appreciated in value since you purchased it. Making charitable gifts now may help you reduce your taxable estate. As you may know, the estate tax exemption level has fluctuated in recent years, so it’s hard for any of us to say for sure that we won’t be subjecting our estates to these taxes. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t take steps now to plan for possible future estate taxes. One such step might involve establishing a charitable remainder trust. Under this arrangement, you’d place some assets, such as stocks or real estate, in a trust, which could then use the assets to pay you an income stream over a certain period of time. When you establish the trust, you may be able to receive tax benefits based on the amount the charity is likely to ultimately receive, the charitable group’s so-called “remainder interest.” Upon its termination, the trust would relinquish the remaining assets to the charitable organization you’ve named. Keep in mind, though, that this type of trust can be complex; to establish

Another popular contribution vehicle is the “donor-advised fund.” Here’s how it works: You give cash or appreciated securities to the donor-advised fund, with the expectation of receiving a tax deduction for the contribution in that same year. You recommend which charities are to benefit from the contributions to the fund, and the fund invests and manages your contribution, along with the other assets in the fund. Again, you’ll need to consult with your qualified tax adviser before establishing a donor-advised fund to help ensure you obtain any expected tax benefits. As we’ve seen, you can follow different charitable giving strategies. But however you choose to make charitable gifts, you can take satisfaction in helping worthy organizations while possibly improving your own tax picture.

Ramona Disposal holiday tips: Reduce, reuse & recycle Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, Americans can produce an extra one million tons of trash per week as compared to any other time of the year, according to Ramona Disposal Service. Here are a few tips from Ramona Disposal that can help reduce holiday waste: •Buy products made from recycled materials. Look for gift wrap, greeting cards and other items that are made from post-consumer recyclables. •Give the gift of time. For the person on your list who is difficult to buy for, give a certificate offering babysitting, petsitting or help with any household projects. •Save a tree. Purchase an artificial tree to use

in place of a cut live tree and reuse it for years to come. After the holidays, remember that paper gift wrap, gift boxes, greeting cards, cardboard and glass, metal and plastic beverage containers can all be recycled in your blue commingled recycling containers. Holiday trees, wreaths, garlands and cut flowers can also be recycled. Customers can simply place botanical decorations in their designated green-waste containers after all lights and decorations have been removed.

Sorry – I’m in a “meeting” right now…

Controller releases November cash update State Controller John Chiang released his monthly report covering California’s cash balance, receipts and disbursements in November, showing monthly revenues came in $497.7 million above projections in the state budget. “While November’s totals came in 9 percent above projections, they did not erase the fact that we are still running $1 billion behind in revenues and $2 billion ahead in expenditures,” said Chiang on Dec. 8. “Regardless of whether midyear cuts are enacted next week, the Legislature faces a tremendous ﬁscal challenge when it returns to session next month.” After accounting for No-

vember revenues, total year-todate general fund revenues are behind the budget’s estimates by $1 billion, but expenditures for the year are over projections by $1.95 billion. The Controller’s Office continues to work with the Department of Finance to identify and prepare for any impact on the State’s cash outlook, said a statement from Chiang. The state ended last fiscal year with a cash deficit of $8.2 billion. The combined current year cash deficit stands at $21.5 billion. Those deficits are being covered with $16.1 billion of internal borrowing (temporary loans from special funds) and $5.4 billion of external borrowing.

ness is, frankly, NONE of my business. I prefer images provided by “He’s in a meeting”, “He’s out of the office”, or just “He’s not available – may I help you?” Way too many companies are minimizing employee training to help profits. Bad training leads to poor implementation. Little effort to portray positive image hurts the bottom line. The Commerce Department reports around 407,000 businesses start up in the U.S. annually. Many of them seem to have uncommunicative employees asking customers to send an email or call back rather than taking a message. No matter how you slice it, this hinders a company’s professional image. And as mom always told me, there’s never a second chance to make a first impression. Here’s the puzzle: you’re spending lots of money to get my attention. Coupons, press, online ads – all geared towards getting me to call you. So if you’ve gotten my call, why would you want to give me a negative image of yourself? The phone still matters for doing business, and it’s one of your first lines of defense. It provides mental pictures of the organization and, oftentimes, the caller’s first – or only - impression of the firm. This means every company must maintain a professional image or they’re in trouble. As good communications skills become an increasingly lost art, those who can communicate well should, in theory, rise to the top. And those who put their best voice forward, speaking courteously and smiling when talking, will communicate best. Okay, so I sound like an old poop. I’ll give you that. But if you only get one chance to make that impression, do you really want it to be of you sitting on the toilet? With that said, I wish you a week of hygienic, profitable marketing.

PPH adds acupuncture and massage therapy

alomar Pomerado Health (PPH) has added the acupuncture and massage therapy services of North County Integrative Acupuncture Center to the PPH Center for Integrative Medicine and Wellness at the Pomerado Outpatient Pavilion. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO), acupuncture can be effective in providing treatment for arthritis, back and neck pain and other ailments. “Acupuncture and massage are widely used today because of their effectiveness demonstrated in evidencebased studies. They’ve been used for thousands of years. They work,” says Matt Alavi, director of Pain Management and Natural Medicine at the PPH Center for Integrative Medicine and Wellness. “There are hardly any side effects and people get fantastic benefits.” Alavi and Michael Corradino, DAOM (doctor of acupuncture and Oriental medicine), founded their practice in 2009 and are the clinical directors of the acupuncture and massage services. “No one is doing what we’re doing,” said Corradino, referring to the integration of Eastern, Western and natural medicine now taking place at PPH. “There isn’t a model quite as unique as the one we’re involved with at PPH. That involvement allows open lines of communication between physicians at Pomerado Hospital and the practitioners at our center.” The PPH center offers various styles of acupuncture, including traditional Chinese medicine, classical lineage, auricular, orthopedic

and neuropuncture techniques. Massage therapies include Tui Na, Swedish, Thai, Jim Ming face lift, Reiki, reflexology, cranial sacral therapy, Qui Gong and deep tissue/ sports massage styles. Corradino specializes in pain management, neuromuscular conditions, internal medicine and general well-being longevity. Alavi has specialized training in orthopedics, neurology, endocrinology, immune disorders, gastrointestinal dysfunction and pain diseases. The PPH center is in the Pomerado Outpatient Pavilion, 15611 Pomerado Road, Suite 100, next to Pomerado Hospital in Poway. For more information, call 858-673-4400.

Delayed Gratification

et’s be honest. We want it and we want it now. We live in a point in history that everything is at the click of a button and, if we don’t have the money to buy it, we can put it on our PayPal “Pay Later” account, on our Visa, MasterCard, Diner’s Club, Amex. When I first set my sights on competing in a bodybuilding show when I was 13, I really had no idea how long it would take and how much effort it would take. I competed for six years and each year my goal was to add 10 to 15 pounds of lean body mass. You break that down per month and we’re only talking about .75-1.2 pounds of muscle per month, small accomplishments achieved by enormous effort. When we set our sights on a goal of fitness and better health, we must prepare ourselves for delayed gratification. We set a goal of losing 10 pounds and at the first feeling of hunger or muscle soreness we must put off the immediate urge to fulfill that “need” and remember what the real goal we are striving for — that last 10 pounds. Steve Seabold writes in his book “Secrets of the World Class” how champions think: “Champions believe that every effort performed with good intention yields some form of compensation at some point. Many of the great ones were ridiculed and criticized for investing so many hours in the development of their core competencies. When professionals set a big goal, they are expecting a fight — and their past experience has preconditioned their minds for battle. When amateurs expect compensation, pros are just settling in for the fight. Not swayed by amateur opinion, they push forward aggressively. This delayed gratification sets the stage for all future battle plans for achievement.” Achieving goals and making progress toward better health is never easy, but I urge you to focus on the process and the small battles along the way. With victory in each of these little battles, take satisfaction in giving your best. Keep your eyes on the prize and put off instant gratification. It’s tough, it’s uncomfortable, it hurts and, darn it, sometimes we just want to throw in the towel. Don’t give in, don’t give up. Start thinking like the world class, start striving to be a champion and know that the war is won each small battle at a time. Today the battle begins...

On Rosecrans Hill

Photo credit

Cadets from Ramona High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps surround Ramon Ojeda’s gravesite in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery during their participation in “Wreaths Across America.”

By DEANNA LASLEY In the words of Jeffrey Nahas, “we chose for freedom’s cause to die. And now upon this hill we lie.” On Saturday, Dec. 10, at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma, several cadets from Ramona’s NJROTC participated in the “Wreaths Across America” and on that day honored the men and women who have fallen to keep our nation free. Many other participants from all over the county came to help honor, including Boy Scout troops from Ramona. A total of well over 1,000 people were there to place wreaths. This event happens every year arcoss America to help honor the true American heroes who have given the ultimate sacrifice to keep you and your family free. Anywhere from Arlington National Cemetery all the way to here in Southern California,

wreaths were being placed on every single headstone at every military cemetery. Every branch of military was recognized, including the Merchant Marines and all prisoners of war and ones killed in action Not only did the NJROTC cadets each place two wreaths on graves, they also found the gravesite of a man from their home town of Ramona. All together they honored Ramon Ojeda by placing a wreath on his grave. Ramon went to Ramona High School and was in

NJROTC. He joined the military and was killed in action while serving our country. This was a truly moving ceremony that gave our community a way to show respect for the loss of so many. Join them next year at the same place to honor our heroes. Thank you to all who have served and are currently serving our great nation. We all know freedom is not free. Never forget. Never regret. Always remember. Happy holidays to all.

s the holiday season ramps up, California Department of Public Health (CDPH) reminds everyone about the importance of safe food handling to prevent foodborne illness. “Thorough cooking, adequate refrigeration, good hand washing and work area hygiene are the key practices to prevent foodborne illness,” said Dr. Ron Chapman, department director. “Properly prepared and handled foods ensure not only a safe holiday meal, but a safe meal every day.” The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 48 million illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths annually in the United States are related to foodborne diseases. Bacteria such as salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 are responsible for many foodborne illnesses caused by eating contaminated foods. Contamination usually occurs because of poor food handling practices at the farms, factories, restau-

rants or homes. Symptoms of foodborne disease include fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhea which may be bloody. Most infected people recover from foodborne illnesses within a week. Some, however, may develop complications that require hospitalization. Young children, the elderly, pregnant women and persons with a weakened immune system are at highest risk for potentially life-threatening complications. Foodborne diseases can be prevented by simple safety steps in the kitchen. Wash hands with soap and warm water before and after food preparation, and especially after handling raw foods. Clean all work surfaces, utensils and dishes with hot soapy water and rinse with hot water after each use. Be sure to cook foods thoroughly and to refrigerate adequately between meals. For more food safety tips, including proper cooking temperatures, visit www. cdph.ca.gov.

I DON’T KNOW

I am a clean freak! I can’t stand it when I see dust on my tables or streaks on my windows. My husband and kids don’t seem to care if they leave their socks on the floor or glasses on the end tables. I am continually picking up after all of them and I am tired of them not picking up after themselves. My husband and kids complain that I am not really that much fun because I am always cleaning. I think they are right and I want to change, I just don’t know where to begin. Any ideas?

Hello, clean freak. Let me begin by saying that I am glad that you are recognizing how your clean freak behavior is negatively affecting you and your family. The first step in changing is recognizing what it is that you want to change. The next step is having the motivation and desire to do so. It sounds like you are ready for both. Congratulations! You might want to begin by looking at what is more valuable to you, being a clean freak or having fun with your husband and kids. While cleaning is important, it will always be there. Your kids will grow up and leave and you will have missed out on having fun memorable times with them. It is also important to nurture your relationship with your husband as you do want him to be there when the kids leave. Even though you will feel uncomfortable, leave some socks on the floor and glasses and dust on the end tables. Tell yourself that it is more important to go and have fun with your kids and husband than to clean right now. They will appreciate it and in the end so will you!

Baker, Voss participate in ‘No Shave November’ at Ramona Library

wo staff members at the Ramona Branch of San Diego County Library looked a bit fuzzy last month in celebration of “No Shave November,” an adaptation of an Australian tradition that has become popular worldwide. Youth Services Librarian JP Baker and Library Technician Mike Voss refrained from shaving their faces for the entire month, and shared their progress with the community. Along with a poster chronicling their beard growth, customers enjoyed a poster featuring different types of beards and were able to check out books from a large display of titles related to men’s health and interests. This interactive campaign sought to drive attention to men’s health issues. No Shave November hails from a tradition among men in Australia and New Zealand. In these regions, men grow mustaches during the month of November, as part of a custom known as “Movember,” which serves as a

fundraising event for men’s health issues. The library also put together a booklist of men’s health books that are available for request and check out at bit.ly/MensHealthBooks. “No Shave November is a powerful way to remind the community of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer,” said Baker. “The public library is a sanctuary of education, learning, and open access. What better forum is there for a campaign devoted to public awareness and healthier lifestyles?” While the campaign was not a contest, Baker believes Voss would have won if there were one. “His (beard) was pretty thick,” said Baker. “I can’t argue with that,” commented Voss. For more information on No Shave November and other activities at Ramona Library, contact branch staff at 760-788-5270.

Mural

Club for an equine themed mural, and the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet building is slated for a rendering of the old Kenilworth Inn, which once stood on that site. The Whalen team has submitted its final color thumbnail sketch of the mural and has begun work on the mural, which consists of two panels approximately 12 feet tall by 5 feet wide. The face of the tower, interrupted by a door and balcony, was tricky to design around, said Lyttleton.

Celebrate at the Oaks Grille. The night includes a Special New Year’s Eve Buffet prepared by Chef Ben Peterson, Live music in the Par Lounge performed by Stone Train, DJ music in the San Vicente Room, party favors and a midnight champagne toast! Regular dining menu not available. Reserved seating only for dinner reservations

The building owner will be painting the face of the tower a soft muted green as a backdrop to the panels. At the instruction of the H.E.A.R.T. Mural Board, the artists are using colors to fit within the palette recommended by the Ramona Design Review Board for Old Town Ramona. In the small rendering, for example, Tibbs’ purple shirt and bandana look brighter than they will appear in the final mural. Also at the instruction of the board, each mural will

have a heart embedded within it, anywhere and in any format that the artist chooses. The viewer’s task is to find it — sometimes easy and sometimes not. The mural project hopes to be on the Ramona Design Review Board’s Dec. 15 agenda. Members of the design group gave a hearty thumbsup to the entire mural concept when it was presented to them last year. Art in any form opens the door to controversy, but the board of the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project offers something for everyone — to like or to complain about, said Lyttleton. It is fervently hoped the murals will breathe life into Main Street businesses through local viewers and tourists alike,” she said. The mural is being painted on panels, which will then be installed on the face of the tower. Completion of the mural and an installation celebration is planned for early in the New Year. For information on how you can help or participate, contact Lyttleton at 760787-1102.

American Legion hosts veterans benefits seminar By KAREN BRAINARD

bout 70 veterans and spouses showed up for a seminar in Ramona Library to learn details of the many benefits available to veterans. The “Veterans Benefits Awareness Seminar,” held Nov. 29, was conducted by the Joint Outreach Service Office, which specializes in outreach to San Diego County’s veterans and their survivors. Hosted by American Legion Post 332 and Ramona Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3783, the presentation outlined all benefits available from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), such as disability and death compensation; disability and death pension for wartime-era veterans and their widows, including the “Aid & Attendance” benefit; health care; burial and memorial benefits and other special and ancillary benefits. Retired Chief Petty Officer Scott H. Langhoff, who served as a quartermaster in the U.S. Navy for 26 years, conducted the seminar. Langhoff also served as the veterans service officer for the Department of California VFW in the San Diego area and was accredited with the Office of the General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Langhoff talked about the disabilities and chronic diseases acquired as a result of being exposed to certain elements during wars, such as mustard gas and herbicides. He noted that certain diseases and syndromes have found to be related to the Persian Gulf Theater. Qualifying chronic disabilities could include an undiagnosed illness, a medically unexplained chronic multi-symptom illness, fibromylagia, chronic fatigue, and gastrointestinal disorders. Langhoff said there is a Dec. 31, 2011, deadline to apply for compensation for certain disabilities due to undiagnosed illnessesfrom the Persian Gulf War. That deadline has been extended twice, Langhoff said, but there has been

no word about another extension. “This stuff changes frequently,” Langhoff said of benefits and deadlines. “It seems like it changes practically every day. We’re constantly getting weekly updates.” Langhoff also talked about benefits for those who are housebound and permanently disabled, with the highest level being “Aid and Attendance,”

a benefit paid in addition to a monthly pension. Aid and Attendance applies when the veteran requires the aid of another person to perform personal functions necessary for everyday living, such as bathing, feeding and dressing; the veteran is bedridden; the veteran is a patient in a nursing home due to mental or physical incapacity; or the veteran is blind or nearly blind.

Whether a veteran can receive the Aid and Attendance benefit or how much he receives depends on various factors, including income. Langhoff cautioned the veterans about organizations that say they have

a VA-accredited attorney and charge a fee to file an application for Aid and Attendance. “Most of them are bait and switch,” he said. “They have no idea how the VA process works.” Langhoff added that it is illegal for anyone to charge a veteran to file a claim with the VA. “I’m trying to chase them out of town,” he said.

The Joint Outreach Service Office provides free assistance in filing claims for benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and free fully-accredited legal representation in the appeals process.

Sheriff receives grant for countywide DUI enforcement The primary cause of deaths on local streets and highways remains drunk and impaired driving and the Avoid the 14 DUI Task Force will keep up with its DUI enforcement in San Diego County as a result of a $315,000 federal grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, which will administer the grant for the en-

tire county. “Partnerships amongst county law enforcement agencies help to strengthen our efforts to combat drunk and impaired driving,” said Sheriff Bill Gore. “This year we hope to make an impact and keep our roads safe for the people of San Diego County.” The Avoid the 14 DUI Campaign is named to send the message that, if you don’t drink and drive, you will avoid getting arrested by

any of the 14 participating law enforcement agencies in the county. The campaign will specifically target those who drink too much and get behind the wheel. Deputies and officers will be staffing DUI/ Driver License checkpoints, and local DUI saturation patrols. Additionally, funding will target the “worst of the worst” repeat DUI offenders with warrant sweeps and court sting enforcement operations focusing on DUI

offenders who attend court hearings and drive away on suspended licenses after being ordered not to drive by a judge. “The Avoid DUI Task Forces have been an essential part of the phenomenal reduction in DUI deaths on our roadways in the last five years in California,” said Christopher J. Murphy, director of the Office of Traffic Safety. “Tragically, DUI deaths remain the largest sector, at over 30 percent of traffic fatalities. This grant will help combat that, making San Diego County a safer place to live and work.” DUI/Driver License checkpoints are a key component of the grant. These highly visible, publicized events are meant to deter impaired driving, not to increase arrests. Research shows that crashes involving alcohol drop by an average of 20 percent when wellpublicized checkpoints are conducted often enough. Drivers can expect to see DUI campaigns during the winter and summer holiday periods as well as on Super

Bowl Sunday, St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo and during local special events with identified DUI problems. Agencies participating in the Avoid the 14 taskforce include: San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, San Diego Police Department, National City Police Department, Coronado Police Department, La Mesa Police Department, San Diego State University, Palomar College, San Diego County Probation, Chula Vista Police Department, Oceanside Police Department, Harbor Police, Escondido Police Department, University of California San Diego and Cal State San Marcos A list of countywide enforcement operations for the Winter Holiday DUI Crackdown includes: •Friday, Dec. 16, DUI/ Driver License (DL) checkpoints from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. in Vista, Escondido, Lemon Grove, and from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. in City of San Diego. •Saturday, Dec. 17, DUI/ Countywide Driver License (CDL) checkpoints from 7

Boys soccer takes 4-0-1 into match with CIF champs By JOE NAIMAN If weather permits, Ramona High School’s boys soccer team will close out pool play in the Grossmont Tournament this Saturday at Helix High School against defending CIF Division II champion University City. The Bulldogs will take a 4-0-1 record, including a 1-0-1 mark in tournament pool play, into the game against the Centurions. The Bulldogs, who began their season Dec. 2 with an 11-0 road victory over Calexico Mission,

played their home opener Dec. 6 and defeated El Capitan by a 2-0 score. “We really controlled the tempo, said Coach Michael Jordan. “I bet we possessed probably 70 percent of the ball.” The Bulldogs scored one goal in each half, both from Andy Garcia. Sebastian Bueno had the assist on Garcia’s first-half score while Jose Valencia provided the second-half assist.

Girls soccer wins Barons Tournament in division By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s girls soccer team won the Classic Division of the Barons Tournament, and Ramona senior Lexi Hogan was chosen the tournament division’s Most Valuable Player. “The girls have just been outstanding,” said Coach Tom Charbonneau. Wins in the five tournament contests gave the Bulldogs a 7-0 season

Lexi Hogan selected MVP record. Ramona gave up the first goal of its seasonopening game Nov. 29 at Calexico but was on the preferred side of the remaining 25 goals during Ramona’s first seven games. A total of 60 girls tried out for Ramona’s varsity, junior varsity and novice teams. The season began

with 21 girls on the varsity squad, 17 girls assigned to the JV club, and 19 making their debut at the novice level. “We’re excited about the season for all three levels,” said Carbonneau. “We have high expectations.” In the battle between the two CIF San Diego Section teams nicknamed the

Bulldogs, Ramona had five shots on goal during the first 15 minutes against Calexico but did not score. In the 20th minute, Ramona blocked a corner kick, but a Calexico player obtained the rebound and scored the game’s first goal. In the 32nd minute, Ramona senior Caitlyn Choy was fouled in the penalty box and freshman Karli Njaa placed the penalty kick into the bottom left corner of the net.

Ramona scored three times in the second half for a 4-1 victory over Calexico. Freshman forward Alexis Dinero’s goal complemented by senior Katie White’s assist gave Ramona the lead, and sophomore Bianca Scodellaro and senior Norma Lopez also placed shots into the net. “We started out a little nervous, as the first three See GIRLS SOCCER on page 30

co Mission game, the shutout against El Capitan was his first non-shared blanking of the season. Bonilla was assisted by defenders Valencia, Carlos Bustos and Connor Maruna. “We did what it took,” Jordan said. Ramona hosted Valley Center in a Dec. 9 night game. Although the current North County Conference realignment has placed Ramona in the Palomar League for the past two years, the two teams had been in the Valley League since that league’s 199899 creation and a rivalry had developed between the Bulldogs and Jaguars. “The emotions always run high, and it’s like a playoff atmosphere every time we play Valley Center,” Jordan said. The first half of the game was scoreless, but Ramona scored three times in a 10-minute span during the second half. Garcia scored his sixth goal of the season, Julio Velasco had his third score of the year, and Adam Dolan’s 30-yard shot constituted his second 2011-12 ball into the net. “Everybody got a chance to play.,” said Jordan. “All the reserves were in when it was three to nil.” It was a controversial play rather than a substitute defense that gave the Jaguars their only score of the 3-1 result. An indirect kick was awarded in the penalty box, forcing a Ramona wall just in front of the goal. Valley Center took a shot off the deflection that went past sophomore goalie Jason Morton, who was called up from the junior varsity after Gutierrez opted to focus on academics. “It was definitely not his fault,” Jordan said.

Kim Whelehon will be continuing her education and playing softball at Southern Arkansas University next fall. Whelehon is a dual sport student/athlete at Ramona High School. This will be her third year on the varsity basketball and softball teams. She has earned all league honors in softball and was all league and all CIF last year in basketball. She will receive financial aid for softball and academics as well as working in the work study program. She has a 4.16 grade point average in college preparatory, honors and advanced placement classes. Planning to pursue a career in physical therapy, she will major in exercise physiology. Whelehon started playing softball at the age of 5 and has been playing ever since. She plays for Terry Fick and the San Diego Rebels when not playing for the Lady Bulldogs. She was the Most Valuable Defensive player last year for the Lady Bulldogs. She is also probably the most versatile. In her

tenure on varsity, she has played every outfield position as well as shortstop and second base. When asked why she chose to play for the Muleriders and sign early, she explained, “It was a good opportunity and a good offer. Southern Arkansas is in a small town like Ramona. I got along well with the team members on my trip. It is a good fit.” She was recruited by the Muleriders’ new coach, Corey Lyon. Lyon is an up and coming coach who won 125 games in three seasons at Paris Junior College in Texas. He led the Lady Dragons to their first conference championship in 2009. Whelehon is a member of an athletic family. Her mother and father, Pam and Daniel, have been very supportive to her, her brother, Sean, and her sister, Sara. Sean is a Ramona High graduate who played soccer and golf. Sara plays softball and lacrosse. With her decision to sign early at Southern Arkansas out of the way, Whelehon can now concentrate on playing basketball and softball for the Lady Bulldogs.

By BILL TAMBURRINO Ramona High School senior Jackson Willeford has signed a National Letter of Intent to play collegiate baseball at the University of Arizona. Willeford signed in the early signing period. He was recruited by several other elite baseball programs but chose to attend the U of A in Tucson. Willeford will be entering his fourth season on the Bulldog varsity baseball team in the spring. He started at second base as a freshman and has been the shortstop the past two seasons. Named to the all league squad three times, he was selected All North County last season. He is a year-round baseball player who plays for the Encinitas Gamers in the off season. “I also played for the Bulldog summer league teams for Coach Roy Sulser and he taught me a lot,” stated Willeford. Willeford plans to major in psychology while playing for the Wildcats and hopes to be a counselor when he completes his playing days.

Baseball has been a family affair for the Willeford family. “I started playing when I was about 4,” he said. “I would attend my big brothers’ practices and games and shag balls and be a nuisance.” “He certainly was,” commented his grandfather, Jack Kunce, with a smile. Willeford’s brothers Guy and Alex “Smiley” played at Ramona High School and went on to play in college. Guy played at Palomar and San Diego State, and Smiley at Palomar. All three brothers swing the bat from the left side of the plate. Sister Emma is a cheerleader. Mom and Dad, Debbie and Guy, have been very supportive as have his grandparents, Jack and Barbara Kunce. Whenever a Willeford plays, there is a guaranteed crowd. So when the Wildcats play USC, UCLA or a local university, the Willeford clan will be on hand. When asked why he chose Arizona, Jackson explained, “It was a good fit. I got a great offer and I have a good shot at competing for playing time.”

Female cagers win 2, lose 1 in classic By BILL TAMBURRINO

have often said and I truly believe that sports is a microcosm of society. Unfortunately, that can be a bad thing. It is my opinion that we are trying to give away too many things in this kinder more politically correct world of ours, especially in America. Thomas Jefferson was correct: There are certain inalienable rights that everybody deserves. However, there are some characteristics that must be earned. We seem to have forgotten this in society and that is also filtering into sports. Everybody deserves life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Everybody deserves to have a fair chance, equal opportunity and to be treated equally under the law. However, anybody who has played, coached or observed any sport realizes that all men and women were not created equal. We make allowances for those natural differences. In wrestling and boxing there are weight classes. In high school we have divisions (in CIF but not in leagues in San Diego) to ensure fair competition. The same is supposed to be true in college and professional sports. It isn’t, but it is supposed to be. Some things must be earned. A spot on a roster should be earned. The minimum criteria set up by a school, CIF or state should not guarantee a spot on a roster. Having a C average, with no more than one F, and satisfactory conduct should not guarantee a spot on any roster. I believe that the same should be true for attending school. In my 40-plus years as an educator, I came to a conclusion. Some students don’t want to be in school and don’t care about being in school, and their parents don’t want them at home. They can make life miserable for those who want to be in school and want to learn and they can make life miserable for teachers and administrators. Too much time and money is spent on those who don’t care and don’t want to learn. There should be a difference between education and child care. All too often there isn’t. Awards and honors should be earned and not given, and that includes bowl games and playoff berths. Before any more is said (written, actually) one truth must be stated. The NCC, the CIF, the NCAA, NAIA all have too much in common with Depression-era alphabet soup titles. They are only about money. Teams made it to the CIF playoffs because they deserved to go, NOT because they earned the right to go. Teams are going to bowl games because they deserve to go (can sell tickets), not because they earned the right to go. The only thing more funny than the names of the bowls is the names and records of the teams going to the bowls. Some of the names of bowls: Famous Idaho Potato, Belk, Pinstripe, Meineke Car Care, Chick-fil-A, GoDaddy.com, Texas vs. the nation, Toilet Bowl, Insight, Fight Hunger, Rip off the ticket buyers. Records of teams and the records of teams going to bowls: Marshall 6-6, Arizona State 6-6, Purdue 6-6, Iowa State 6-6, Mississippi State vs. Wake Forrest both 6-6, Texas A&M vs. Northwestern both 6-6, Vanderbilt 6-6, UCLA 6-7 vs. Illinois 6-6, Florida vs. Ohio State both 6-6, Pittsburgh 6-6. Coaches were fired for having such bad records and the teams that got them fired are going to bowl games. Go figure! How does an AD or president have the gumption to fire a coach and let his/her team go to a bowl? Twelve bowl teams can end up with losing records and seven losses. UCLA can end up with eight losses.

Ramona High’s girls basketball team beat Vista and Mission Hills and lost to Canyon Crest Academy in the North County Classic. The Lady Dawgs are now 7-3 on the season, and Coach Erin O’Connor is pleased with the play of her team. “We are playing well as a team,” said O’Connor. “I like our chemistry and attitude. We are playing good team defense and communicating well on the court. We have played good competition that will get us ready for the Palomar League.” The Lady Bulldogs used a fourth quarter rally to beat Vista 43-37 in the Dawg House. Ramona had to battle back on several occasions to pull out the victory. Vista jumped out to a 6-0 first quarter advantage, but the Lady Dawgs went on an 8-2 run to tie the score at the quarter. Ramona outscored Vista by 1 point in the second period and took a 16-15 lead into the locker room at intermission. Vista controlled the tempo in the third period and led 25-23 with eight minutes left in the game. Coach O’Connor’s charges then dominated all phases of the game in the final period and outscored the Panthers 20-12 to win the game. Paige Conroy scored 6 of her 8 points in the fourth quarter. She also contributed greatly to the defensive effort as she had six steals in the game. Niki Spring and Kim Whelehon hit clutch 3 point shots to pace the Lady Dawgs’ comeback. Whelehon took the scoring honors by putting 12 points in the book. RaeAnne VanTol registered a double-double by scoring 10 points and grabbing 11

rebounds. VanTol controlled the offensive boards with nine rebounds. Spring had 5 points overall. Kailey Hill (2), and Tiana Zuniga (6) also scored for the Lady Dawgs. Ramona used the same formula that worked against Vista to beat Mission Hills on the road 6152. The ladies from the Valley of the Sun trailed 14-13 after the first eight minutes but had a huge second quarter to put the game away. Ramona outscored the Grizzlies 23-15 in the second period to take a 36-29 lead that they would not relinquish. VanTol led Ramona with 18 points. Conroy and Whelehon also scored in double figures with 14 and 10 points, respectively. Spring (3), Hill (7) and Zuniga (9) scored in the victory. The Lady Dawgs finished their busy week by traveling to Canyon Crest Academy. Ramona lost to the Ravens (4-1) 57-48. Ramona trailed 37-29 at intermission and closed the gap to 44-41 going

could have gone to the Rose Bowl with six losses. Tell me that the BCS is a good thing! Bowl games and CIF playoff games give coaches a chance to practice for next year. Players get gear, rings, watches and a vacation (if trips to Detroit, Idaho and the Bronx during the winter are vacations). Coaches get a bonus on their resumes. Sponsors get their names on TV and in the papers. Boosters get to go to Detroit, Idaho and the Bronx. I’ll be in Hawaii for some of the bowl season. The bowl season is from Dec. 17 to Feb. 5. I wish I could be in Hawaii for the entire bowl season. I do, however, plan on watching at least five bowl games.

weight bout. The Bulldogs finished the week by competing in the La Costa Canyon Classic at La Costa Canyon. Ramona took home a sixth-place trophy and several individual medals. Last week’s Ramona Sentinel Athlete of the Week had another stellar tournament. Devin Rhodes won the gold medal in the 171-pound weight class. Rhodes pinned Jason Cone of Servite High School in the finals in 1:27 in the first period to win the tourney. “Devin had three pins and won the tourney with a pin,” said Koch. “That was a very tough tournament. The state champion from Nevada (Green Valley of Henderson) and several CIF champions were there. As a team we took sixth place, which is another example of how

or four shots were put way over the net, but settled down the further we got into the game,” Charbonneau said. “Our real focus was controlling possession of the ball and connecting quick passes. I thought we did an excellent job of that.” Ramona’s home opener Dec. 1 produced a 2-0 victory over Fallbrook. “The Ramona girls had an outstanding defensive game,” Charbonneau said. Senior goalie Maria Solis earned her first shutout of the season with the help of defenders Hogan, senior Emily Vandervort, senior Briana Gansch, and freshman Shelby Sherman. Dinero scored the game’s first goal after taking a pass from junior Valeria Lozano while senior Samantha

Canyon at El Cajon Valley High School gave the Bulldogs three games in three different locations within a 24-hour period. Garcia’s goal gave Ramona a 1-0 halftime lead against Helix. “We just couldn’t shut the door,” Jordan said. The Highlanders scored twice in the second half to give the Bulldogs their first deficit of the season. “Second half Helix basically played inspired soccer,” Jordan said.

In the waning minutes, a Ramona shot went off the crossbar, seeming to doom the Bulldogs’ hopes. In the final minute, Ali Aparicio took a corner kick and Carlos Blanco turned the loose ball into the equalizing goal. “He just has the knack of being in the right place in the right time,” Jordan said of Blanco. “We felt happy to get the draw,” Jordan said. “We were a little disappointed that we hadn’t

put the game away earlier.” The game against Steele Canyon saw the Bulldogs score both first-half goals. Dolan headed a Garcia corner kick for the first goal while Dylan Loftis obtained a loose ball and took the shot which gave Ramona the 2-0 lead. “Steele Canyon pushed in the second half and they got one back, but in the end we were able to hold off their attack,” Jordan said.

The final open gym session for girls who aspire to play volleyball for Ramona High School will take place Dec. 17 in the school’s new gym. The Saturday sessions, which began Dec. 3, will conclude Saturday, although the first two Saturdays of January will be assessment sessions for girls interested in playing on one of Ramona’s Amateur Athletic Union teams. The AAU teams will be formed based on age, skill and experience. No experience is necessary to attend Saturday’s open gym session. “It’s an opportunity to get ready for tryouts and to explore playing before trying out,” said Connie Halfaker, Ramona High School varsity volleyball coach. “Kids that have never played before are welcome.” Halfaker will be at Saturday’s open gym session, as will junior varsity head coach Kyle Adelman and varsity assistant coach Adrian Papps. The session for fifth-grade and sixth-grade girls will be from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. while the session for seventh-grade and eighth-grade players will be from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. There is no charge for the open gym session, which includes coaching tips, although there will be a cost for participation in the AAU leagues.

into the net by Lozano. “It was our best passing game of the early season,” said Carbonneau. “We really dominated every aspect of the game.” Ramona’s midfielders in that game were White, Schmidt, senior Laura Calcara, senior Alexis Baggett, junior Allie Krueger, sophomore Makayla Torsak, and Njaa. Charbonneau stated that the midfielders performed well in controlling the ball and distributing passes. Tournament play resumed Dec. 6 against Sweetwater at Sweetwater. Ramona’s third consecutive 2-0 win saw the Bulldogs take 13 shots including Schmidt’s first-half goal and Lozano’s second-half score. Solis had four saves. The Bulldogs traveled to

Madison High School for a Dec. 8 game against the Warhawks. The 6-0 victory saw two goals by White in the first half, a first-half shot by Dinero which went into the net, and secondhalf scores by Scodellaro, senior Justine Kruger, and Lozano. The win gave Ramona the division’s second seed for the semifinals. The semifinal and championship matches were played Dec. 10 at Bonita Vista High School. Ramona’s 10 a.m. game was a 4-0 triumph over High Tech High Chula Vista. “The girls really came together in this game,” said Charbonneau. “It was great to watch them connecting several consecutive passes and switching the field of play.” Dinero scored both

first-half goals against the Bruins and completed her first high school hat trick with a successful secondhalf shot. Choy scored the game’s final goal with eight minutes remaining. San Ysidro entered the division finals as the tournament’s highest-scoring team, but Ramona took a 5-0 win over the Cougars. “Although we hadn’t seen them play, we heard they had a good offense with a great ball-handler/ scorer,” Charbonneau said. “Our defense really did an outstanding job shutting down their scoring threats,” said Assistant Coach Rod Vandervort. “San Ysidro was by far the best offensive team we have faced, but our girls stepped up big-time.” Scodellaro joined Ho-

gan, Vandervort and Sherman as the game’s starting defenders. Solis had seven saves against the Cougars. Hogan also scored her only goal of the tournament on a first-half penalty kick after Dinero, Schmidt and Lozano had added numbers to the scoreboard. Calcara’s second-half goal closed out the scoring. In addition to Hogan, the all-tournament team for the Classic Division included Dinero, White and Solis. “Everyone stepped up and contributed to win this tournament,” said Hogan. “It was definitely a team effort with multiple people scoring the 19 goals and strong defense with no goals against. The Bulldogs host Julian in Friday’s game.

we are improving. We go up against San Marcos in the Dawg House on Thursday and we have to continue to improve to have a chance against them. We should have a big crowd.” Ramona earned seven medals out of 14 weight classes. A 106-pounder, Adair placed sixth to medal. Kevin Conroy earned a fourth place medal at 132 pounds. Isaiah Ilich took sixth place at 138 pounds. Ray Lemon got a medal for his eighth place finish. Josh Allen made it to the finals undefeated before losing by decision to Brandon foster of Boulder City Nevada in the 195 pound division. Zach Berg earned a medal for his sixth place finish at 220 pounds. The Dawgs host the Knights of San Marcos in the Dawg House at 7 p.m. Dec. 15.

Schmidt converted a pass from Dinero for the other score. The Barons Tournament is the state’s largest high school girls soccer tournament and is also the oldest girls soccer tournament. It began as the Raiders Tournament in 1981 when organizer Ron Pietila was at Southwest High School and became the Barons Tournament when Pietila took over as Bonita Vista’s coach in 1986. Ramona began this year’s tournament with a Dec. 3 game against Chula Vista at Montgomery High School. Scoring in the 2-0 victory over the Spartans began when White’s corner kick curved into the goal without further human contact and ended when White’s corner kick was headed

Bulldogs defeat Sultans in girls water polo match By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s girls water polo team evened its season record at 3-3 with a 14-6 victory Dec. 7 at Santana High School. “It was a good game for us,” said Coach Donnie Williams. “We were dominating a lot.” The Bulldogs had a 4-1 lead at the end of the first period. “We probably had 10 good scoring opportunities even in that timeframe,” Williams said. “We countered on them quite easily.

We pressured them.” By the end of the second quarter Williams had his players working on various plays rather than focusing on scoring, but even the attempt to slow down the offense didn’t keep Ramona from building up an 8-2 halftime lead. The teams split the six goals in the third period. “They had one strong shooter who has a good skip shot,” Williams said. Ramona scored on three of five extra-player opportunities, although the Sultans took advantage of two out of three Ramona

penalty exclusions. Bri Hogervorst led the Bulldogs with four goals. Cassie Bernas, Paulina Bernd, and Jocelyn Schwegler each had three goals while Josie Ward put one ball into the net. “The good part about the scoring for us is that it was balanced,” Williams said. Williams noted that having four players with three or more goals prevents the opponent from focusing on one shooter. “That really makes it hard for the other team,” he said. Rachel Hogervorst had

three assists while Bernas had two assists. Bernd and Bri Hogervorst had one assist apiece. Bernas led the team with five steals, Bernd executed four steals, and Rachel Hogervorst stole the ball three times. “The girls did a good job of stealing,” Williams said. Ramona goalie Tiffany Larson made ten saves. “Tiffany had a great game in cage,” Williams said. The Bulldogs return to Santana on Friday for a game against West Hills, whose pool is being renovated.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Andy Garcia: A Bulldog on a mission By BILL TAMBURRINO Ramona High School’s soccer team is off to a flying start. Coach Michael Jordan’s Bulldogs are 4-0-1 and one of the big reasons for their success is the play of junior forward Andy Garcia. Garcia has scored seven goals and has one assist in five games. That is a good season for most soccer players. He is listed as a forward, but according to his coach he is versatile and inspirational. “He plays forward, but

he could and would play defense or goalie if asked,” said Coach Michael Jordan. “He always puts the team first. He takes our corner kicks, our direct kicks and our penalty kicks. We want to take advantage of his talents when we get set plays. “He has been our hardest worker since day one this year. He came out with a renewed interest and spirit. It isn’t like he has to prove himself. He was our leading scorer last season and he was the only sophomore to make

the All Palomar League soccer team. Yet, he is working like he has something to prove.” Garcia scored twice in Ramona’s 2-0 win over El Capitan and he scored one goal against Helix and Valley Center. He drilled in three shots against Calexico Mission. He has been a Bulldog on a mission. Garcia has started since his freshman year.

“Soccer is a major part of our family,” he said. “I have played with my cousins since I started playing at the age of 6. My cousins are like brothers and sisters to me. We are a very close family and our varsity soccer team is like a family. We play for each other. We try to represent Ramona High School in a very positive manner.” His cousin, Alexis, plays for the Lady Bulldogs. His father, Luis, played for the championship teams of Bill Pittsford at RHS. Garcia also works in the classroom. He has a B average and he plans on going to college and majoring in business management. For his hard work, scoring and inspirational leadership, Andy Garcia has been selected the Ramona Sentinel Athlete of the Week.

County gives tentative approval to wild turkey hunt Despite opposition from animal rights activists and other opponents, San Diego County Board of Supervisors gave tentative approval to a two-day, juniors-only wild turkey hunt on the county’s Santa Ysabel East Preserve. The first reading of ordinance passed 3-2 on Dec. 7 and will be considered for final approval Jan. 25. It would permit up to 10 supervised youngsters to hunt wild tur-

keys with bows and arrows or guns at the Santa Ysabel reserve on March 17 and March 18. “This is about allowing kids the opportunity, the ones that want to, the ones that choose to, an opportunity where we have an overabundance of turkeys under strict supervision to learn the basics about using a weapon and also hunting,’’ Supervisor Dianne Jacob said.

The 3,800-acre preserve includes a turkey habitat and may be closed to the public on the hunt days, county staffers said. The hunters would need licenses, training and supervision, said Bob Fusco, president of the San Diego chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. Supervisor Pam Slater-Price and board Vice-Chairman Ron Roberts cast the dissenting votes, though both said

they were not opposed to hunting in general. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for county parks or county preserves to be used for hunting purposes,” SlaterPrice said. “I am a hunter. I taught my son to hunt, but not in a public park,” said Patsy Fritz of Pauma Valley. “We should not have to fear that guns and hunting will ever be a hazard in our parks.”

Derochie selected for all-division By JOE NAIMAN The CIF Division II girls volleyball coaches selected 20 first-team and secondteam players for all-division honors, including Ramona High School junior Mikayla Derochie. Derochie, Ramona’s starting setter in 2011 and 2010, was selected to the Division II second team. “That’s very, very good,” said Coach Connie Halfaker. Last year La Costa Canyon, Bonita Vista, and West Hills were in Division I and Canyon Crest was in Division III. This year the four schools were in Division II for playoff and all-division purposes, and all four were among the top six seeds in the playoffs. All of La Costa Canyon’s starters earned all-division honors with four Mavericks taking first-team berths and the other three receiving second-team recognition. Bonita Vista had two firstteam players. “There were some pretty good names that were out there that didn’t make the team,” Halfaker said. “To be able to have somebody

place in the top 20, I was very, very pleased.” Derochie received second-team Palomar League recognition after a vote of the league’s coaches, but Halfaker was unsure whether she would be selected for all-division accolades. “I believed she deserved it, especially the way she played against West Hills. It was not our finest hour as a team, but Mikayla played very maturely,” Halfaker said. Ramona lost its first-round playoff match to West Hills, which received the sixth seed, in three games. West Hills Coach John Shirk let the other Division II coaches know about having to play against Derochie. “One of her strong proponents was the West Hills coach,” Halfaker said of Derochie’s all-division selection. Derochie is expected to play for the Bulldogs in 2012. She is currently playing club volleyball for the Epic club’s 18-1 team. “Any time you make the ‘1’ team at a local club, that’s pretty strong recognition,” Halfaker said.

From page 1

she felt “100 percent back to normal,” but she encourages everyone to “at least look into the possibility of being a donor either now or in case something happens to you.” “Andrea has her life back,” shared Savage. “After the one year mark passes from the surgery, she plans to start work on becoming pregnant. She is mountain biking again, camping, just living life.” On her end, Savage experienced no side effects and says she appreciates life even more now. Her Bucket List includes running a marathon, hiking up Half Dome, traveling to Europe and just enjoying good health. “This is something for individuals to think about and for parents to discuss for their children,” commented Savage. “If a tragedy occurs, something life saving can come out of it by families allowing organs to be donated.” Zachary is living proof of just such a decision. According to his father, Kevin, Zach’s heart at birth looked like “Swiss cheese” it had so many holes. “There is a medical name for the condition, but, basically, his heart just

in San Francisco and went through blood tests and physical exams in San Diego. Everything checked out and, in December 2010, 51-yearold Savage found herself on her way to the University of San Francisco Transplant Center to be checked out in person. “They did X-rays, MRIs, cat scans…I had the best physical in the world!” said Savage. “All of the testing was covered through my niece’s insurance or through the transplant facilities. I want people to know that the organ recipient’s insurance covers everything. My real expense was time and a little bit of travel cost, but look what you are spending it on.” Savage and her niece went in for transplant surgery on March 8, 2011. “It just went bam, bam, bam,” said Savage. “The surgery took approximately six hours, maybe a little less, and they had Andrea up and walking around that night. My nice Irish kidney kicked right in! Just goes to show you, we’re all the same underneath!” Savage’s recovery took a couple of months before

never formed properly.” Zachary’s life depended on a heart transplant. When he was 2 years old, his family received a call at 3 in the morning that a heart was available and to get Zachary to Loma Linda University Medical Center. “We were at the hospital by 5 or 6 a.m. They did all the tests, Zach looked in shape to receive the transplant, so the team hopped in a helicopter and picked up the heart,” said Kevin. “The donor was a

HoliDeals

4-year-old boy in Cleveland, Ohio, I believe, who suffered a brain aneurism.” Zachary’s surgery took approximately six hours. “There was a 100 percent change in his health when he came out of surgery,” said his dad. “I could see it in his skin color and everything. The match was outstanding. He was sitting up and eating the next day.” The only complication occurred about a week after surgery when doctors had to

reopen Zachary’s chest due to the presence of a bacteria. Once the area was cleaned and closed back up, Zachary‘s health steadily improved. That was in 2000. Today, Zachary has few restrictions. Because of the medication he must take, his immune system is shut off so that it doesn’t attack the heart. This means cold and flu season is something he must be aware of. “We tell Zach all the time to wash his hands,” said his father. “Because I don’t have an immune system,” said Zachary, “it’s dangerous for me to get sick, so I have to be careful when I am around people with colds and stuff.” Although contact sports are out of the picture, there is little Zachary can’t do. He plays backyard football with friends and rides dirt bikes like a lot of youngsters his age. “What I really like to do is go fishing,” shared Zachary. His favorite place to fish is Lake Cuyamaca, where he placed first place in a fishing tournament in 2009. He hopes to turn his favorite activity into a career when he grows up by working as either “a fishing boat captain or

a Bass Pro ﬁsherman.” Since the initial surgeries as a toddler, Zachary has experienced zero rejection of his donated heart. “He has done incredible,” said Kevin. “He takes three medications in the morning and three at night, which is great. Many kids who have had the same procedure take as many as 20 medications a day.” There is a possibility of a future transplant, explained Kevin, but only time will tell. “There are so many variables and so much has evolved in the world of transplants since Zachary was a baby that the doctors just don’t know what will be needed in the future.” According to the Donate Life California website, more than 100,000 men, women and children await organ transplants. An average of 18 people die each day due to a lack of available organs. Donors can save up to eight lives and improve another 50 lives as a tissue donor. All people have to do is check the “Yes! I want to be an organ and tissue donor!” when applying for or renewing their driver’s license, or sign up online at www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org or at www.donatelife.net.
