Second- and third-graders at Hanson Elementary School gathered in the cafeteria on Dec. 15 in hopes of winning a brand-new bike. Each of the youngsters had written an essay and were told six “winning essays” would be chosen and the writers of those essays would win a bicycle. The super-secret surprise, however, was that each second- and thirdgrade child would be given a bike and helmet — courtesy of the La Jolla-based Bikes For Kids Foundation. “Who wants to win a bike?” asked foundation co-founder Bill Pollakov. “MEEEEEEE!” responded 158 students as their hands shot in the air. “If I had a magic bike, where would it take me? What good things would I do?” was the essay topic. As Pollakov read the first essay, an excited Madison Heckelsberg could barely sit still. Pollakov read, “I will pick up trash at school and make the Earth clean…” Heckelsberg bounded to the front to claim the first shiny, red bike. With a huge smile and exuberant “WHO WANTS TO WIN A BIKE?” Pollakov pumped up the crowd of already excited youngsters. One by one each essay was read to the sea of anxious faces. Second-grader Christopher Del Castillo dreams of a flying bike that could be used to rescue cats

Second-graders and third-graders at Hanson Elementary School react to learning last Thursday morning that each of them would receive a new bicycle and helmet, thanks to the Bikes for Kids Foundation.

Students wrote essays in hopes of winning a new bicycle. What they didn’t know was that they would all receive a bike.

Megan Denton would use a magic bike to provide “a lifetime supply of food to Africa,” and return each year to ensure the people wouldn’t run out. As each essay was read aloud, children cheered for fortunate classmates, but the look of hope on some faces began to wane as the ﬁnal essay was read.

That is when the morning’s surprise really began. “Excuse me, Mr. Pollakov?” came a voice from the back of the room. Ramona Uniﬁed School District Superintendent Robert Graeff held another essay. “I read each and every essay and I think this one is See BIKE GIVEAWAY on page 17

Celebrating the holidays as retirees

ix Ramona Unified School District employees received crystal apples and accolades from the district and gift certificates to a Ramona restaurant from the Ramona chapter of the California School Employees Association as they joined the ranks of retirees. Four of the six were the center of attention at a school board meeting as Anne Staffieri, assistant superintendent of human resources for the district, shared a bit of information about each. Sandy Carmichael, lead custodian at James Dukes Elementary School, was with the district for 28 years. She worked as an instructional aide and custodian and, Staffieri said, “she’s a great storyteller with an impeccable memory. She has been known to share stories about individual students long after they have left JD.” Anthony “Tony” Dunkailo, a district employee for 11 years, worked in campus security at Ramona

High School. A former school board member, “he’s an inspiration to others and Ramona High

School will definitely miss Cupid and Santa Claus directing traffic for all to see,” said Staffieri.

Peggy Owens worked for 19 years in the food and nutrition services department at different Ra-

mona schools, ending her years with the district at James Dukes Elementary. “She always has such a positive and cooperative attitude, and she’s always smiling — see, she’s smiling right now,” said Staffieri, adding, “She loves children and does her best to make lunchtime a pleasant experience for them.” Winifred “Winnie” Puckett worked 16 years with the district. Most of those were in the front office of Olive Peirce Middle School, where, said Staffieri, “we understand she had a nameplate that says ‘director of first impressions.’...(she) can best be described as the calm in the storm...She is a diplomat, psychologist, cheerleader and problem solver for all.” Puckett ended her career with the district as a secretary at Hanson Elementary School. As she introduced the retirees at the meeting, Staffieri handed each a crystal apple engraved with their

name and years of service. Betsy Bargo, CSEA president, presented each with a gift certificate to a Ramona restaurant. Bob Mietus and Linda Pyper were not at the board meeting, but Staffieri acknowledged both. Mietus, a district employee for 12 years, was a night custodian, most recently at Ramona High School. “Bob is known by his co-workers as a detailoriented guy,” said Staffieri. “...Ramona High School administration reports that their campus has never looked as clean as it has during Bob’s service there.” After 16 years with the district, Pyper retires as health/attendance technician at Ramona Elementary, said Staffieri, who lauded her for her reputation “for having accurate records completed on time and very thorough work. Ramona Elementary will miss her greatly.” —Maureen Robertson

Christmas Village brings joy to Robison Family By KAREN BRAINARD During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, Carolyn Robison’s living room is emptied of furniture and filled with approximately 500 children and adults. They ski, skate, sled and ride in bumper cars. Children make snow angels and sit on a teeter-totter

while adults carol and stand outside shops. All around, lights are twinkling in the hundreds of homes, stores and other buildings nestled among snow-flecked trees. It’s a magical scene that comes alive at the push of a single button. “This is my joy,” said Robison, looking over her elabo-

rate miniature Christmas village. The Ramona resident said she has no idea how many pieces are in her village. “I never counted it. I’m sure it’s over 1,000. I probably have 200 trees alone,” she said. The winter wonderland fills her 13-foot by 12-foot living room and is arranged on six- and four-foot tables covered in white tablecloths, snow blankets and artificial snow. Robison started setting up the village on Oct. 1. Spending two to three hours a day, it took her about six weeks to complete. “It’s my passion, no question,” Robison said. She began collecting the Christmas village pieces in the late 1980s and kept adding more. Her collection is a combination of Dept. 56, Lemax from Michael’s, and pieces from Kohl’s and the former Mervyn’s department store. Each year she adds more. Her additions this year included a Home Depot, a Walmart, a bowling alley and mountain climb-

Giving a tour of the display, Robison showed the train running around the tracks by the downtown area; a zoo and a park, a children’s area with a school and orphanage; a farm and barn area; and a carnival complete with a Ferris wheel, fortune teller, carousel and duck pond game. The East Coast and the West Coast are depicted on opposite sides with blue bases for

water, boats sitting at docks and a lighthouse perched on a rocky bluff. The back of Robison’s village display rises about three feet in tiers against a backdrop of nighttime blue with silver stars. Overlooking the village are churches and a nativity scene. Robison pointed out figures in a holiday religious processional — pieces that came from Portugal, the country of her ancestors. “A lot of these are gifts,”

Robison noted, adding that friends and family members often bring pieces back from their trips. The village even includes the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink, a graveyard next to a church and a working miniature ski lift at the base of the “mountain.” “I try everything to be to scale,” said Robison.

County task force targets community planning groups By EDDIE BRISENDINE San Diego County Board of Supervisors postponed discussion of possible changes to community planning groups (CPGs) until Feb. 29, at the request of District 2 Supervisor Dianne Jacob. The supervisors heard recommendations from a Red Tape Reduction Task Force during a recent meeting. The supervisors formed the task force in April to examine the land development permitting process through the county departments of Public Works and Planning and Land Use and to identify opportunities for operational improvements that will result in efficiency in the permitting process. The task force was comprised of seven boardappointed members of the public with various experiences in land use or land development. “I would prefer having a more lengthy discussion in

60 days, primarily because I’d like to make sure that all of the CPGs are notified of the particular recommendations by the task force and have an opportunity to review it and to provide some input to the board,” said Jacob. “I’d also like to have an opportunity to meet with all the CPGs in the second district, which I do from time to time, to discuss this...They have been an integral part of the land use project.” In its report, the task force provided 21 unanimous recommendations, dealing with customer service, organization, staff training and environmental issues. The one recommendation that was not unanimous was the issue of community planning groups. The report stated that “over time, the actions of some CPG members have evolved from acting in an advisory role to the county into one of direct negotiation with the project applicants, direct requests

“I’d like to make sure that all of the community planning groups are notified of the particular recommendations by the task force and have an opportunity to review it and to provide some input to the board.” Supervisor Dianne Jacob for technical studies from project applicants or even requests for project amenities that may be beyond the required nexus for a particular project. In other cases, CPGs often make a series of direct requests to applicants (over several meetings) for changes to a project. Each of the requested changes may then need to be presented at successive CPG meetings, which are frequently 30 days apart. The result of this can be significant delays to the project processing schedule.” The report offered a choice of two recommendations: A. Remove community planning groups from the

county’s “umbrella” and rescind Board Policy I-1, along with the following: •Require discretionary permit applicants to prepare a public participation plan (PPP) to inform residents of the community of the proposed project. The PPP shall be required for tentative parcel maps, tentative maps, multiple use permits, rezones, specific plans, general plan amendments or other similar permit types. The PPP shall include one publicly noticed community meeting to be held in the community. B. Leave the community planning groups under the county’s “umbrella” with the following changes: •Limit the scope of their

review to the preparation and amendment of the general plan, the community plan and the PPP. •Staff each community planning group with a senior land planner and county counsel. •Institute term limits on community planning group members to a maximum of two two-year terms within a 10-year period. •Limit the number of planning group members to seven per group. •Revise board policy I-1 to reflect the changes herein. •Revise fee ordinance to clarify that the community planning groups no longer receive free appeals to the board of supervisors.

•Require discretionary permit applicants to prepare a PPP with one publicly noticed community meeting to be held. At the conclusion of the report, it became apparent that the talk of community planning groups was the sticking issue for both the public in attendance and the supervisors. Jacob was concerned that a few of the county’s planning groups may be the driving force for this action by overstepping their bounds and she wanted to know whether the task force had clearly defined where the problems were. “We need to know what it is, where it is, and who it is that is causing these problems,” Jacob said. She was also concerned about the public awareness and asked Megan Brown of the task force what means of notice was provided to the public. Brown replied that agendas were posted at the See PLANNING on page 11

Man arrested in failed robbery attempt at KFC restaurant Raul Cruz, 34, was jailed Saturday, suspected of a failed robbery attempt at the KFC restaurant at 1025 Main St., according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The incident is the latest in a string of armed robberies of Ramona businesses. Since July, six armed robberies in which cash was taken have been reported. The incident at KFC is not believed to involve the suspects in the other crimes. In the KFC incident, a man with a handgun forced open an interior door to the restaurant just after 8 p.m. Friday and demanded that an employee open the

cash drawer, reported sheriff’s Sgt. Christina Bavencoff. The suspect, described as a Hispanic male armed with a handgun, fled the restaurant without receiving any cash, said Bavencoff. Deputies spotted a suspect who matched the description of the suspect and gave chase. The suspect was taken into custody and subsequently arrested on multiple charges, including attempted robbery, reported Bavencoff. The Sheriff’s Ramona Substation Detective Unit is investigating the incident. Cruz was scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday, Dec. 21.

Last Friday about 1:45 a.m., a masked man with a pistol robbed the Circle K convenience store at 704 Main St, the sheriff’s department reported. The thief, who appeared to be about 30, confronted a clerk at the Circle K, displayed the gun and demanded cash, said sheriff’s Lt. Anthony Ray. The bandit fled with an undisclosed amount of money. The victim described the armed robber as a Hispanic male roughly 5-feet-7-inches tall, 180 pounds with a mask over his face, wearing a darkcolored sweatshirt and a gray beanie, said Ray.

It was unclear what type of mask the bandit was wearing, according to Ray. Other businesses robbed since July have been Ransom Brothers Lumber & Supply, Los Rancheros taco shop, Diamond D Feed & Supply and Ramona Lisa Beer and Wine. Los Rancheros taco shop was robbed twice. In each case cash was taken, according to the sheriff’s department. Authorities believe the same person was involved in the first five armed robberies. In four of those cases, the bandit had an accomplice. It is unknown if the robbery at Circle K is connected to the others. —Maureen Robertson

Searchers find body of missing La Mesa man

Deputies respond to burglary alarm, find marijuana growing operation By KAREN BRAINARD In an ongoing investigation into a marijuana grow operation in a Ramona business park, agents have found approximately 1,000 plants valued at nearly $3 million, said Lt. Hank Turner of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s Narcotics Task Force. The operation was discovered at 3 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 17, when deputies from the Ramona substa-

tion responded to a burglary alarm at 607 Brazos St., Suite V. Investigators from the multi-agency Narcotics Task Force were called and determined the growing operation was in suites V, W and X. They found 50 marijuana plants plus growing equipment and a mobile growing room, stated a statement from the sheriff’s department. Investigators have since found three more indoor

grow areas for a total of four, said Turner, in suites R-X, L, M and I. Agents arrested Edward Hanson, 30, at the scene Saturday morning on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana. The growing equipment, marijuana food products and plants were seized by agents as evidence, Turner said. Asked if more arrests will follow, Turner responded, “We hope to. It’s still under investigation.”

The Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the body found by a sheriff’s helicopter crew on Monday as that of La Mesa man Dan Hoff, 43, missing for a week. The air crew spotted the corpse on the east side of Iron Mountain in Poway about 10:45 a.m., reported sheriff’s spokeswoman Melissa Aquino. Hoff’s mother reported him missing Dec. 15, three days after the last known sighting of him. On Friday, a patrol deputy found Hoff’s car parked at Poway Road and state Route 67, at the foot of Iron Mountain.

Students help fill Share Your Holiday boxes for those in need “The schools provide 40 to 60 percent of what we give to families this time of year.” Carlos Murcia, Manager Ramona Food & Clothes Closet By PIXIE SULSER “The donations from the schools are a huge part of the holiday services provided by us,” said Ramona Food and Clothes Closet Manager Carlos Murcia. “The schools provide 40 to 60 percent of what we give to families this time of year. Our assistance, however, isn’t just limited to the holidays. Because of the schools’ efforts, we are able to provide for families throughout the year.” Murcia was speaking of the support from the various schools in the Ramona Unified School District. As a community service during the holiday season, almost every school in the district sponsored a food drive collecting nonperishable food items to donate to the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet for use in their holiday food baskets provided to families in need in Ramona and surrounding communities. Knowing this time of year is busy, project organizers used a variety of strategies to encourage students and staff to donate food items. Ramona High School’s Fusion and Interact clubs collected

canned foods via collection boxes in classrooms and the front office, and the RHS boys basketball team hosted a canned food night collecting two cans of food as the price of admission. Montecito High School Star Club (student government) put their community service efforts into collecting canned foods as well. “According to Ramona Food & Clothes Closet, we donated approximately 800 pounds of food and 150 pounds of toys,” Jolie Iraheta at Ramona High School said of donations from RHS. “I am so proud of our students and staff. They are amazing.” On the elementary school front, Mount Woodson, Hanson, Barnett and Ramona Elementary accumulated nonperishable food items with Ramona Elementary trying to “surpass our record of 820 items donated last year,” said teacher Sandy McInish. In conjunction with food donations, many schools added toy drives to their endeavors. “For over 20 years Hanson has done a food drive,” said Student Council advisers Teri Burns and Joyce Olson. “This year, for the first time, we added toys.” RHS Interact and Fusion Clubs also collected new, unwrapped toys for the

Ramona Food and Clothes Closet to distribute to local families. When asked by advisers Burns and Olson why community service is important, Hanson Elementary Student Council President Casey Bugglen responded, “It’s important to do community projects because not everyone does community service. And many people can’t afford food or gifts for the holidays, so we are helping them out.” “And that’s the wonderful thing about a community like Ramona,” said Murcia. “We (the Food & Clothes Closet) don’t do it alone. Everybody helps. We are a united community.” Barnett Elementary, Mt. Woodson Elementary, Olive Peirce Middle School’s National Junior Honor Society and Mountain Valley High School’s ASB (student government) remembered the troops during the holidays with various projects. “Barnett students focused on Operation Care Giver collecting toothbrushes, sunscreen, Gold Bond powder and Chap Stick for the soldiers,” explained leadership adviser Judy Gunnett. Additionally, Barnett students wrote letters to soldiers, an activity also supported by the young leaders of Mt. Woodson Elementary.

“Amber Collier, a Mt. Woodson parent, instructional aide and former Coast Guard member, is coordinating our Holiday Mail for Heroes program,” shared Principal Theresa Grace. The project is a partnership with the American Red Cross. The students write the letters for the soldiers and the Red Cross ships the correspondence overseas. “It’s a cool project,” said

Grace. “The kids love it.” Although the holidays tend to be the busiest time for collections and donations, many schools sponsor year-round community service events. The Leadership class of Olive Peirce Middle School completed a project in early December collecting, refurbishing and donating bicycles to Bikes for Tykes of San Diego. Teaming with leadership students from Twin Peaks

Middle School in Poway, the two schools donated a total of 42 gently used bikes. OPMS leadership students plan to continue collecting and donating bicycles throughout the year. Anyone having a bike to donate may bring it to OPMS during school hours and “we will gladly store it until our next Bikes for Tykes gathering,” said Casey McKibbin, OPMS ASB adviser.

Accident leaves handicapped teen without specialized van By DIXIE PETTIT A late-night accident has dashed the dream ride of a disabled Ramona teenager. According to Zachary “Zak” Carpenter, his son Adam will be unable to enjoy the Christmas break that Adam had planned with friends because the family’s van was “slammed into” while parked in front of the family home about 10:45 p.m. on Dec. 12. According to California Highway Patrol Officer Bryan Pennings, “the individual driving the vehicle collided with the parked van. The impact tore the right front of the van.”

“He literally cannot get around without the van. He’s stuck at home for Christmas break.” Zak Carpenter

“The driver fled the scene, leaving the car in the middle of the street,” said Pennings. Ramona resident James Arsenault, 27, was later charged with suspicion of misdemeanor hit and run and driving his girlfriend’s car without insurance, according to the CHP. Adam has cerebral palsy, seizures, pancreatitis and several other medical challenges that have

significantly impacted his life, his father said. MakeA-Wish Foundation® San Diego Chapter granted Adam his wish, a swim spa at his home, in an effort to ease the severe discomforts of his condition. Carpenter is working on the deck construction for the spa, which he said is to help Adam “feel like a regular kid” and be able to participate in an activity with friends.

During an investigation, Trejo said, one propane gas leak was found in the main kitchen and one by the clubhouse swimming pool and both were repaired. By Thursday afternoon, Trejo reported that the fire and health departments had given clearance and the restaurant was open for business. —Karen Brainard

The van was Adam’s only other way to get out with friends, his father said, adding, “Now he doesn’t even have that. He literally cannot get around without the van. He’s stuck at home for Christmas break.” The family celebrated Adam’s 17th birthday on Friday, trying not to focus on the overwhelming task of replacing such a specialized vehicle. Initial estimates to fix the van have already hit $32,000. While the van is insured, Carpenter said he does not know if the insurance will cover all of the specialized modifications. “The handicap equipment alone is $23,500, then there’s the conversion and installation on top of the cost,” said Carpenter. Carpenter has found a van to rent over the holidays for $90 a day, but he said that, due to the suspect’s uninsured status, he is at a loss what to do to replace the van. “It could be weeks or months before we have our van back,” said Carpenter. “It’s just not right.”

Home for the Holidays A Time to Celebrate

here’s no place like home for the holidays, and what better way to celebrate

the holidays at home than with a new grandson. Christmas for me is about family, and this year we have another reason to truly celebrate and that’s the addition of another grandson to enjoy. Jameson Eugene Tedrow, born on Nov. 14, will join our family celebration along with our 2-year-old grandson Dominic, their mom (our daughter) and dad, and our son, who will be home from Sweden. These are true gifts that can never be taken away. The traditions we look forward to, the favorite meals, cookies, visiting neighbors or attending church services are all things that make up our memories to cherish and hold dear. The definition of celebrate is to commemorate, to praise; honor. Whether you’ll be home for the holidays or somewhere else, be sure and take time to celebrate, to commemorate, to praise and honor our troops who have come home, and remember the true meaning of Christmas and rejoice in everything we have. Share in the gift of life and realize that it’s always better to give than receive. We live in a beautiful community. Enjoy our surroundings, family and friends, and be sure and CELEBRATE. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Jeff Mitchell Publisher

Solar project questions remain This was sent to the Ramona Community Planning Group, San Diego County Board of Supervisors and San Diego County Planning commissioners. By JOE MINERVINI After Dec. 1’s RCPG meeting I realized there are still many more questions about the proposed industrial sized solar electric project on Warnock and Ramona Street that need to be asked and questions that need to be answered in totality. 1. Paul Stykel, a RCPG member, asked for a visual presentation of what motorists would see while driving down Dye Road. I called it the “line of sight.”

Guest Commentary Most of the Group did not follow suit with Paul’s request. We need to be able to see a rendition, a computer model of what we will see when this project is complete. Are we to simply assume one will not be able to see these structures while driving because there is a 6-foot fence? 2. I kept hearing that at a 45-degree angle, the highest part of the “SolFocus Concentrated PV solar panel arrays,” would be 8 feet. When I googled “SolFocusPV solar arrays,” I saw pictures of these “solar arrays.” These huge panels

can go from horizontal to almost true vertical. How high will the top of these solar panels be when they are almost vertical when tracking the sun when it sets on the horizon? Do we have a guarantee from Sol Orchard that the tops of these arrays will never automatically rotate over 8 feet ? 3. If the mentality of some of our planning group members is “What difference does our decision make; the county will decide what they want to do regardless of what we say,” then I say it’s time for them to “man up” and go

fight the county on behalf of Ramona. I know most people would say that solar power is good, but why does SDGE have to put these solar farms where we can see them every day — right in our face? There are huge ranches out of sight in the Ramona area. Put them there! “Out of sight, out of mind.” 4. SDGE lists two solar projects for Ramona (see SDGE ADVICE LETTER 2268-E (U902-E) dated July 6,2011)...they call them “Ramona 1” (1.5-2.5 MW Capacity) and “Ramona 2” ( 3.5 MW Capacity). I assume both 1 and 2 are on this same property? 5. I learned from a county official that there are no zoning regulations that prohibit a massive solar panel farm on agricultural property. Considering the number of solar farm projects on the books in San Diego County (there are 21 at last count), it’s time for the San Diego County Planning Department and See COMMENTARY on page 9

Director presses for water district redistricting options By KAREN BRAINARD Ramona Municipal Water District Board of Directors will address redistricting and whether additional options should be developed by an outside ﬁrm when it meets on Dec. 27. Division 2 Director Kit Kesinger had submitted an agenda item on redistricting for the board’s Dec. 13 meeting but it was received too late to be on the agenda. A redistricting proposal prepared by Shepherd and Staats Inc. of Vista received preliminary board approval, by a 5-0 vote, on Nov. 8. With the ﬁve RMWD divisions split among a population of 33,568, each division was balanced with approximately 6,700 residents. Kesinger, however, expressed concerns about divisions 3 and 5, both of which contain portions of San Diego Country Estates. Kesinger said he would rather see all of Country Estates in one division because of the potential for the Estates to dominate with two board positions. Kesinger told the board last Tuesday that he would like to consider having Shepherd and Staats produce additional redistricting options. RMWD General Manag-

er David Barnum cautioned that such work could cost the district more money as it has a limited agreement with Shepherd and Staats. The board agreed to put the item on the Dec. 27 agenda for discussion. In other business at the Dec. 13 meeting, the directors denied a request for water forgiveness by George Newman, owner of a rental property on Duraznitos Road. Newman, who said he ran the water works for a city in Canada for 20 years, questioned the reliability of his water meter. “I’m very knowledgeable about meters,” he told the board. Newman was appealing to the board to grant a credit for 852 units of water, totalling $3,944.76 on his water account for estimated water usage from 2000 to 2011. Newman said this year he had tenants who averaged 300 gallons per day but the amount jumped for the June through August billing period to 3,029 gallons per day. A similar occurrence happened in 2002, he said. After both spikes, the water usage dropped back down, he said. “I don’t know if you’re aware, faulty...water metering has spawned a whole new business across the

United States,” Newman told the board. Barnum said staff had found a water leak and water was ﬂowing through a hose bib frozen in the “on” position. Newman acknowledged there was a leak but said it would not contribute a large amount of water. Barnum said the meter had been tested and appeared to be accurate. Kesinger told Newman his information was less than ironclad. “It’s not nailing it down as absolute proof,” he said. ”I’d be happy to work with you outside this meeting to see if you have more convincing evidence.” The board voted unanimously to deny the appeal and ﬁnalize a payment arrangement for a remaining balance of $227. The board also reviewed its list of ad hoc committees and eliminated the following committees because the topics are no longer applicable: weed abatement, area 2 annexation, solar, Bargar water plant and untreated water rate. No one from the public spoke at the meeting’s public hearing on the Urban Water Management Plan Update 2010 that is prepared in accordance with state law.

County unemployment was 9.2% last month The unemployment rate in San Diego County was 9.2 percent in November, down from a revised 9.7 percent in October and lower than the 10.6 percent recorded in the same period in 2010, the state Employment Development Department reported Friday.

Jacob disagreed, saying she would prefer having a more lengthy discussion and allow planning groups time to give input. In her examples of good CPG involvement, Jacob mentioned a Ramona project. “One recent project was Montecito, in Ra-

mona, that was supported by the Ramona planning group and worked its way through the project. It was not an easy project but that was not because of the planning group, at least from the input that I receieved.” The supervisors uanimously agreed to bring the

CPG issue back for discussion at their Feb. 29 meeting. Meetings begin at 9 a.m. and are held on the third floor of the county administration center, 1600 Pacific Highway in San Diego. ––––––––––––––––––– www.ramonasentinel.com

Flickers By Guy Hanford

Editor’s Note: Guy Hanford, who retired in June after 39 years as a teacher with the Ramona school district, has been writing Flickers since July 2009 under his pen name, Barton Keyes. Keyes is a character in one of Hanford’s favorite film noir movies, “Double Indemnity.” The film is excellent in every way, said Hanford, and he liked the sound of the name — “dignified and very proper,” he added. Now that he’s retired, Hanford has dropped the pen name. A movie buff, Hanford is co-owner of Kensington Video, which he and his parents purchased 27 years ago.

Ramona Art Guild displays art in Poway Center By EMILY SORENSEN The Ramona Art Guild is seeking to bring culture and an outlet to enjoy the arts to Poway with its 2011 Open Juried Art Show, displaying at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts through Friday, Dec. 23. On display are 75 works from over 40 artists, painstakingly chosen from over 150 submissions by wellknown Ramona artist and juror, Pat Kelly, who teaches plein air and still life painting at the La Jolla Athenaeum Music and Arts Library. The show features three categories: •Watercolors, acrylic or pastel works on paper, under glass or plexiglass; •Oils or acrylics on canvas or board; and •Mixed media, photography, digital art, printmaking, drawing and sculpture. “Our Ramona Art Guild was thrilled to have been accepted to curate a second show at the Poway Center of Performing Arts,” said Susan Bainbridge, exhibit chairperson and one of the artists featured in the

show. “It is one of the most beautiful venues for artists in San Diego to display their art.” Bainbridge’s painting “Hope,” a mixed media piece on canvas, won third place in the mixed media category. Brought together by more than just a love of art, the Ramona Art Guild seeks to educate and expose the community to art they might otherwise never see. “Palomar College used to run art classes through the high school, but those ended due to budget cuts,”

said Bainbridge. “We’re trying to fill the void.” Offering monthly meetings featuring an artist who gives a demonstration as well as workshops, the Ramona Art Guild’s efforts seem to be paying off. Its membership has recently seen a big increase, swelling to about 100 people, including a number of younger artists. Though the guild has made strides in offering exposure to the arts in the community, the lack of local art galleries holds them back, said Bainbridge. “Due to high demand for

use of the space, the Poway Center for the Performing Arts only lets in groups every other year,” she said. “We hope to have shows locally, but for now we’re going to focus on workshops and educational programs, hopefully some figure drawing classes.” Poway Center for the Performing Arts is at 15498 Espola Road in Poway. Gallery hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, visit www.RamonaArtGuild.org.

Business News Time for New Year’s Financial Resolutions Once again, it’s time to make some New Year’s resolutions. This year, in addition to hitting the gym, learning that second language and getting better organized, why not also consider a few financial resolutions? What types of resolutions might you consider? Here are a few suggestions: •Contribute more to your retirement accounts. The new year means that you are one year closer to retirement. To help yourself build resources for the lifestyle you’ve envisioned as a retiree, try to boost your contributions to your 401(k) or other employersponsored retirement plan. You can do this if you get a salary increase and devote at least part of it to your 401(k). At the same time, try to “max out” on your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). For 2012, you can contribute up to $5,000 to an IRA, or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older. •Reduce your debts. Look for ways to cut down or consolidate your debts. It may not be easy, but it’s worth the effort because the lower your debt load, the more money you’ll have available to invest for the future.

•Build an emergency fund. If you don’t already have an emergency fund containing between six and 12 months’ worth of living expenses, start building one soon. Keep the money in a liquid vehicle — one that’s separate from your everyday checking and savings accounts. Without such an emergency fund, you may be forced to dip into your long-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as a major car repair, a new furnace or a large medical bill. •Don’t overreact to volatility. In 2011, the financial markets have been volatile, with big gains followed by big drops followed by big gains — a true roller-coaster pattern. Try not to let large, shortterm price movements influence your investment decisions. Many of the factors that cause jumps or declines are not that relevant to long-term results — and as an investor, you want to focus on the long term. Concentrate on building a portfolio that’s suitable for your individual goals and risk tolerance. •Be aware of different types of risk. For many investors, “investment risk” strictly means the possibility of losing principal when

the value of an investment drops. Consequently, to cut back on their risk in the face of a volatile market, they may sell off stocks and load up on certificates of deposit (CDs), bonds and other so-called “safer” investments. But each investment actually carries its own type of risk. For example, if you own CDs that pay a 2 percent return, and the inflation rate is 3 percent, you will lose purchasing power over time. And if you wanted to sell your bonds before they had matured, you’d have to sell them at a discount if the market interest rate had risen above the “coupon” rate of your bond because no one would pay you full price for them. Just be aware that no investment is “risk-free,” and try to build a diversified portfolio that can lessen the impact of one specific type of risk. By following these suggestions, you can go a long way toward making 2012 a good year in which to make progress toward your important financial goals. So plan ahead — and make the right moves.

Artistry in Hair announces ninth annual Locks of Love

atallie Phillips at Artistry in Hair encourages area residents to let their hair grow for a good cause, because she will be cutting hair for Locks of Love on Feb. 11, 2012. “Our ninth annual event is a day dedicated to collecting hair donations for children in need,” said Phillips, owner of Artistry in Hair. “It’s a way for the Ramona community to show love on Valentine’s Day.” Locks of Love is a public nonprofit organization that provides vacuumfitted hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. The organization meets a unique need for children by using donated human hair to create high-quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. Others have suffered severe burns or injuries,

endured radiation treatment to the brain stem, or other dermatological conditions that result in permanent hair loss. The vacuum fit is designed for children who have experienced a total loss of scalp hair and does not require the use of tape or glue. The hairpieces help to restore selfesteem and confidence. The hairpieces require between six and 10 ponytails and take from four to six months to manufacture. Donated hair is evaluated for its usefulness according to the following guidelines: •It must be at least 10 inches, clean and dry. •It must be bundled in a ponytail or a braid. •Bleached hair cannot be used. •Hair that has been dyed or permed can be used. For more information about Locks of Love at Artistry in Hair, call Phillips at 760-789-1231 or visit the business at 1008 D St.

McAlister Institute expands into Napa County Napa County has selected McAlister Institute, a San Diego-based organization, to operate a short-term residential and detoxification center at Napa State Hospital. McAlister Institute offers resources for the care and treatment of individuals and families suffering from addiction and homelessness. With 34 years in San Diego County, this will be McAlister’s first venture outside the San Diego region. Jeanne McAlister, founder and CEO of McAlister Institute and San Diego’s Mental Health Person of the Year for 2010, said that the organization’s Napa County programs will offer short-term residential treatment for people diagnosed with substance abuse or chemical dependency disorders.

“The selection of McAlister Institute is a tribute to the excellent programs the organization has provided to the San Diego community since 1977,” said McAlister. “Each of us at McAlister Institute is dedicated to helping individuals regain their lives by supporting the recovery process.” McAlister Institute will incorporate a variety of modalities into the programs offered to the Napa County community. The institute works with approximately 2,500 men, women, children and teens each month in San Diego County with inpatient and outpatient services and vocational training. McAlister offers teen programs in Ramona. For more information, go to www.themcalisterinstitute.com.

ARMY THANKS BIG APPLE BAGELS—U.S. Army 1st Lt. Michele Duffy of Ramona presents a certificate of recognition from the Department of the Army to Bob Davidson, owner of Big Apple Bagels. For the past six to eight months, Davidson has been donating bags of bagels to the Army Reserves’ Family Readiness Group, which assists military families by helping prepare them when a member is deployed and by offering a variety of programs and parties for military spouses and children. Once a month the group has a breakfast table at the Admiral Baker Field where Davidson’s bagels, coffee and other items are sold. Duffy said the military families enjoy Big Apple’s variety of bagels, and her sons, Sean, 12, and Colin, 11, spend those weekends working and selling at the breakfast table. Before Davidson began donating, the FRG had to purchase bagels, Duffy noted. “He’s just great,” she said of Davidson.

Ramona sushi chef to be featured on Japanese TV By KAREN BRAINARD

n Christmas Day, residents of Japan will be watching Ramona’s Emily Main starring in a variety show on TV Tokyo. The 19-year-old sushi chef will be seen preparing specialties at Kenrix Sushi Co. in Ramona, where she works and where she was filmed on Nov. 26 under the direction of Japanese Director Hiroyuki Kato. A special Dec. 25 episode of “Big Sunday Variety” will feature Main on the Japanese network. Main said she was

worried before doing the show, but added: “My teacher and the whole staff and customers who came in were really, really nice to me.” The filming took place shortly after Main returned from spending almost two weeks in Japan under the tutelage of master chef Shigenobu Kihara, revered as the number one sushi chef in Hokkaido, the second largest island in Japan. Hokkaido is known for producing very good fish in its waters, according to Tak Itomi of Americanism and LA-Pan Adventures of Los Angeles, one of many

helping out on the day of filming. Surprising Main that day was Kihara, who flew in from Japan and came to Kenrix for the filming. “She was completely floored. She had no idea,” said Main’s mother, Karen Arozco. Speaking through Itomi, who acted as interpreter, Kihara lauded Main’s talents. Most sushi chefs in Japan are male and Main was the first female sushi chef that Kihara had taught, Itomi said. “She has a Japanese spirit,” he said. That spirit, he added, is more than most Japanese students her age possess. “She has a passion to learn,” said Kihara. Kihara explained that sushi is not just about food, but about spirit, and Main already knew the Japanese culture when she came for the course

he taught. Itomi said the master chef would welcome her back for more training “so she could be the best female sushi chef in Japan.” While in Japan, Main stayed with Kihara and his family and said she called him “Taishyo” which means “boss.” She is keeping in touch with his 22-year-old daughter through Facebook. Main said she knows a little of the Japanese language as she took a course a few years ago. Her road to becoming a sushi chef began at an early age. “It’s like I just knew,” Main said. “Even when I was 12 years old, I tried to make sushi.” At 16 years old, she graduated from Santa Cruz High School. She then attended a community college in Santa Cruz for 1½ years, which was followed by attend-

ing and graduating from the Sushi Chef Institute in Torrance. “I’d say it was a pretty good decision,” said Main. Recognition of her skills by the Sushi Chef Institute landed her the expense-free trip and training in Japan. Dr. Akiko Agishi, president of Creative Enterprise International Inc. in Los Angeles, said the Japanese network was producing a show and wanted to have three sushi chefs, each from a different country with one being the U.S. She contacted the Sushi Chef Institute and staff recommended Main. “I was very surprised but when I met her, she was very good,” said Agi-

shi. Agishi also said she was surprised to find such a nice sushi restaurant in Ramona. During the filming, Agishi worked with the director, cinematographer and the “extras” who sat around the sushi bar, watching Main prepare the Japanese specialties. The extras asked questions and offered comments as the camera rolled. Earlier in the day, Main was filmed at home where she lives with her mother and stepfather, Al Arozco, and the day after, Main said she was filmed with her horses at the ranch where they are boarded. Unfortunately, Main will not be able to view the reality show on

Christmas Day as she does not have access to the TV Tokyo network. She will have to wait until she receives a DVD of the show. In the meantime she has made plans to start attending a culinary program at Grossmont College in January to expand her knowledge. “I think it would help me a lot to learn more… I know a lot about Japanese food,” she said. Main said she also plans to work and save money to go back to Japan.

really good, too,” said Graeff. “By any chance, do you have just one more bike?” And that bike was followed by yet another bike. As the students of the winning essays lined up at the front next to the bikes for photos, the rest of the unsuspecting children waited patiently. “You know,” declared Shelagh Appleman, Hanson Elementary principal, “I’ve read all of the essays, too. They were all so good that I wish we could give every one of you a bike.” Pollakov agreed. “You know, when I was little, I wanted to win a bike, too. I wanted to meet the president AND help people AND have a bike give me ice cream and all those things. Today, EVERYBODY GETS A BIKE!” The curtains behind the group flew open to reveal a stage stuffed with bikes — enough for every child in the second and third grade — including an extra bike for a boy who just started school that day. A few students sat in stunned disbelief while the rest of the room erupted in screams, tears and a whole lot of jumping and hugging. “Today was the best day of my life,” said secondgrader Makalah Joaquin. “I started to cry.” Classmate Dawson Pasalich agreed. “I was crying happy tears.”

From page 1

As reality set in for the remaining 151 students, even parents and teachers stopped trying to fight back the tears. Not a single child would be left out. According to Appleman, the school staff was not even told about the top-secret giveaway until it became apparent it would be necessary. “We didn’t want any leaks to get back to the kids or the families.” Originally, Appleman didn’t plan on telling the teachers at all. “We wanted it to be a total surprise — but then I was told the boxes would be here on Saturday.” Oops. “Boxes? I didn’t know we had to assemble them!” said Appleman. So at a Thursday staff meeting, Appleman recruited volunteers to come in on Saturday to assemble nearly 170 bikes. The 41 volunteers arrived at 8 a.m., assembling 19 bikes at a time. The bikes were finished in just two hours. Kirk’s Bike Shop owner Kirk Newell and manager Clark Cathcart completed the safety checks by 1 p.m. “Kirk was unbelievable,” Appleman said of the Ramona businessowner. “When he heard what we were going to do for the kids over here, he jumped at the chance to help us. He and Clark made sure we got the bikes put together correctly, brought over tools and equipment, and then made sure all the

bikes were safe. We can’t thank him enough.” The generous giveaway is sponsored by William “Bill” and Debbie Pollakov, founders of the Bikes For Kids Foundation. The Poway couple started the foundation more than a decade ago to give back to the community. The charity has since given away more than 23,000 bikes in seven cities across the nation. Volunteers and the “collective outpouring of generosity” allows the foundation to put 100 percent of monies received directly to the purchase of bikes and helmets. “People can give at any level, whether that is a few dollars, a big check, building bikes or helping children ride them,” said Debbie Pollakov. The Pollakovs’ gesture of generosity had a trickle-down effect to at least one of Hanson Elementary

third-graders. Appleman was surprised when Jacob Macias wanted to pay-itforward and gave his bike back. According to Appleman, Macias heard of a kindergarten boy who “recently became homeless.” Macias asked Appleman to give the new bike to the other boy instead because, he told her, “I want to be able to give away a bike and make another kid feel like Mr. Bill made us feel.” Bikes for Kids Foundation is a charitable organization.

Santa Ysabel Fudge, a Sweet Oasis By PIXIE SULSER

eople are used to seeing little kiosks in the middle of shopping malls or along other heavily traveled footpaths, but a fudge selling kiosk in Santa Ysabel? A town that can be driven through in the blink of an eye — how would a kiosk, standing alone on the edge of a parking lot, grab travelers’ attention? All it takes is one stop out of curiosity and then a small taste of one of the 18 flavors of fudge handcrafted by owners Lee, Andi and Bonny Bosworth to realize the draw of the sweet oasis. Although The Olde Homestead Fudge Company is based out of Borrego Springs, Lee and Andi often drove through Santa Ysabel and thought the little green building sharing the parking lot of the Santa Ysabel Post Office would make a great business location. “We knew the intersection is a busy one,” said Lee. “Everyone going to the desert, the Santa Ysa-

bel Casino or Julian drives through Santa Ysabel.” So, in June of 2010, they opened the fudge kiosk for business Thursdays through Sundays. What makes their fudge so special, according to the Bosworths, is the premium ingredients they use as well as the cooling process they follow. Their fudge is made with real cream and butter. Usually fudge is poured onto a marble slab and is worked until it cools off. The confection forms a thick loaf, which is then cut into squares of fudge. “What often happens,” explained Lee, “is that the candy crystallizes or has a grainy feel when you are eating it. To create a smooth, creamy product, we allow our fudge to cool for 18 to 24 hours after being poured before we ever touch it. That way there is absolutely no crystallization.” The Bosworths have not always been candy makers. For most of their adult lives, they owned a camp-

ground business in New Hampshire. When they retired, they moved to Borrego, but on a trip “back through memories of the Northeast,” they spent some time with friends in Maine who owned a gift shop that featured a huge fudge display. Lee and Andi spent the evening at their friends’ home where they saw that an area of the kitchen was set aside for making fudge. “We were looking for something we could do from home,” said Lee, “And this looked like a great idea.” The cottage industry in New England isn’t quite so bound by regulations as home-operated businesses

are in California so, when Lee and Andi discovered they couldn’t make their fudge out of their own kitchen, they set up shop in the corner of a Mexican food restaurant owned by a friend in Borrego Springs. At first, they only sold their product at the local Farmer’s Market. “When friends first saw us with our fudge, they looked at us like they thought the sun had really gotten to us. Fudge in Borrego!” laughed Lee. Selling at the local Farmer’s Market grew into traveling to similar venues along the coast, and eventually into a store in the middle of Borrego Springs where they also sell espresso and ice cream. Thirteen years after starting a “little retirement business,” The Olde Homestead Fudge Company has sold over 80,000 pounds of fudge. “We have a wide variety of flavors, but the favorites are chocolate, chocolate with walnut, peanut butter chocolate and rocky road.” They even have a jalapeño fudge, which was originally developed for a special Chamber of Commerce event in Borrego a couple of years ago. “Last holiday season, we sold 25 pounds of the jalapeño fudge.” “What really put us on the map was the piece Larry Himmel did on us last year,” said Lee. “We get people all the time who say they’ve driven past us in Santa Ysabel, but weren’t too sure about stopping until they saw the television interview with Larry Himmel.” A visit to the little fudge kiosk of Santa Ysabel can be a quick, tasty stop. However, those not in the area may also check out available flavors and place orders at www.fudgedirect. com.

Water Dawgs dominate El Camino, West Hills By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s girls water polo team closed 2011 with a 5-3 record after victories at home against El Camino and against West Hills at Santana. The 11-2 final score against El Camino on Dec. 13 and the 10-4 result against West Hills on Dec. 16 gave the Bulldogs an overall scoring advantage of 35-12 against CIF San Diego Section teams. Ramona opened its season in Orange County with the Benson Tournament and took a 14-6 victory over Santana in the Bulldogs’ first match against a San Diego Section opponent. “It looks like we’re on course to push ourselves through league and CIF,” said Coach Donnie Wil-

liams. Ramona is in Division II for CIF playoff purposes.

El Camino is in Division I. The Bulldogs led the Wildcats by a 3-0 score after

the first quarter and 4-0 at halftime. “We played really

strong,” Williams said. “Our defense really played solid.” The Bulldogs built up an 8-2 lead by the time the buzzer sounded to end the third period. “It was just a good solid game all around,” Williams said. Although Ramona converted only one of three extra-player opportunities, the Bulldogs staved off all six of the Wildcats’ power play situations. Ramona’s team statistics also included 11 steals. “We continued to play really strong defense,” Williams said. Ramona goalie Tiffany Larson made 10 saves and also had three steals. Cassie Bernas had four goals, three steals and an assist. Bri Hogervorst had three goals and four as-

sists, while Paulina Bernd scored twice and had two assists. Holly Fletcher scored her first varsity goal in the third quarter and added two assists, and Larson and Megan Kinnaman each had one assist. Ramona also had a 3-0 first-quarter lead against West Hills before the Wolf Pack called a time out to settle the team down and scored the final goal of the period. Ramona padded its lead to 7-1 before West Hills had the final score of the first half. “We kept pushing out,” Williams said. “We were passing and stealing.” The score was 8-3 after the third period. “We did a good job all in all,” Williams said.

Santa Bill’s Christmas gifts for Ramona

have been told that if I can lose significant weight that I could get a job filling for Santa Claus next Christmas. If I do get the job, there are some gifts that I would like to give to this community and some of the people in the community who have the misfortune to have to deal with me on a regular basis. Here are some of the gifts that I would give. I would give the fairy shrimp a new place to live with more water and a better view so that they could give the community of Ramona an All Sports Park. I would give the community of Ramona more and better sports facilities. We have two gyms at the high school, one at OPMS, one at the District Offices

that is mostly unused, and one at the Mormon Church. Only the ones at the high school are regulation. A community of our size needs more and better gym space for the children and adults of our community. What is even more disturbing is that the entire community of Ramona only has one regulation baseball field that is shared by three high school teams. Coach Dean Welch and his staff have never been given the credit for the job that they do with limited facilities. I will give them credit. I would give retired automotives teacher, golf coach, wrestling coach and football coach a set of matching clubs. However, his garage sale mix

and match golf bag is good enough to beat most of the time. I would give the good people at SDCE, San Vicente Resort and Riviera Oaks something very nice. Their association allows our high school golfers and tennis players to play on great facilities. I have left a plethora of golf balls at San Vicente but they don’t qualify as gifts since they were lost and not given. Fred, John, Johnny, I need more lessons. I would give all of the high school coaches the credit that they deserve for all of the time that they put in and don’t get paid for. I would give all of the volunteers for all of the sports teams a very nice jacket appropriate for the season for which they volunteer. Our athletes and coaches couldn’t get along without your time and effort. Taking stats, filming games, announcing games, volunteering at track meets, cross country meets.

Josh Allen steps up a weight class and pins Blake Nash to give the Bulldogs a win over San Marcos.

Coaches’ hunch pays off in wrestling win By BILL TAMBURRINO Sometimes coaches have hunches. Sometimes those hunches are called calculated guesses. Sometimes they are called gambles. Call them what you like. Coach Steve Koch and his assistant, Dwayne Guile, knew that the Bulldogs’ wrestling match against San Marcos would come down to the final bouts. On paper San Marcos was stronger than the Dawgs in the lower weight classes, but the Daw-

gs held a slight advantage in the upper weight bouts. So Koch and Guile took a gamble and their hunch was correct. Ramona beat San Marcos 39-32 in a dual meet in the Dawg House in a battle of two top 10 wrestling programs in San Diego County. “We felt that Josh Allen could wrestle up a weight and had a good chance to pin their 220 (Blake Nash),” said Koch. “We also thought that Andy Burns See WRESTLING on page 31

Miller, playing himself into basketball shape, took control of the boards and led both teams with nine rebounds despite being platooned. Ramona’s rebounding offset 24 turnovers against the Knights. Ramona then went on to outscore the Knights 51-40 in the final three periods. Travis Stevens, Jonathan Schirer and Chris Duncan also rebounded well for the Dawgs as each grabbed seven boards apiece.

Girls soccer enters winter break 8-0 By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s girls soccer team took an 8-0 record into winter break. The Bulldogs played in a light rain Dec. 13 at Orange Glen High School and earned a 6-1 win over the Patriots. “The girls did a great job,” said Coach Tom Charbonneau. Freshman Alexis Dinero achieved her second hat trick of the season, scoring four goals. Three of those were in the first half with assists provided by junior Julie Voorhes, senior Samantha Schmidt and senior Valeria Lozano. Dinero also converted a pass from freshman Karli Njaa into the game’s final

goal during the 68th minute of play. Njaa scored the game’s other first-half goal on a penalty kick to give the Bulldogs a 4-0 halftime lead and opened secondhalf scoring with a breakaway goal. The only Orange Glen goal was in the 61st minute, by which time Ramona had a 5-0 lead. The Patriots’ goal was the first against Ramona since Calexico scored the initial goal of the Nov. 29 season opener and ended Ramona’s streak of 30 unanswered goals. The Bulldogs concluded the game with a 31-2 scoring advantage for the season. Although sweeper Lexi Hogan was named as the Classic Division’s most

valuable player during the Barons Tournament, she was injured during the tournament and missed the Orange Glen match. “There was some shifting of players for the game. Sam (Schmidt) did a great job filling in for Lexi,” Charbonneau said. The results of the Dec. 17 varsity-alumni game do not count in season statistics. The varsity took a 3-2 victory over Ramona’s former players. The Bulldogs were supposed to host Julian on Dec. 16, but weather created poor travel conditions out of Julian. If the game isn’t made up during winter break, the Bulldogs’ next game will take place Jan. 4 at Del Norte High School.

ticket booths, snack bars, weight rooms have been built by volunteers. The Tobiason brothers have done more than their share for the 35 play years that I have been here. I would also give Art Tobiason a new and clean joke book. I would give Lee and Mary Kay Pinkard a statue and an automatic bid into the Ramona High School Sports Hall of Fame. They are the best fans in the world. I will laugh at one of Chuck Schoepp’s jokes. I have gone back on my promise to never make fun of him. I will also try to take care of the possession arrow at basketball games that I announce. Chuck only has two hands and it takes at least three to run the clock, keep the scoreboard correct, set the shot clock and change the possession arrow. Maybe I should give another set of hands instead of laughing at his jokes. I would give Joe Weir transportation to and from the basketball games. The voice of the Bulldogs is missed a great deal. I give the brave men and women that I have coached and taught a giant ooorah, Semper Fi, Anchors Away, Off you go into the wild blue yonder as the caissons go rolling along.

could give their 195 a good bout and had a chance to win. Sometimes you are right and things work out the way you planned. We got that one right, because our kids came through and did a great job.” The match started with Ramona’s 106-pound wrestler pinning Chris Kimball in 1:43 for the fastest pin of the night, giving Ramona a 6-0 lead. It was the last time the Bulldogs would lead in the match until the final bout. San Marcos then won the next three bouts as Chris Waldberger (113) lost by fall to Eduardo Raymundo. Blake Hakala then lost a major decision to Brent Boomhower and Arturo Osario (126) lost by fall to Gernard Labaco. It looked like San Marcos would run away with the match as they led 16-6. Kevin Conroy (132) then showed a preview of things to come. Conroy trailed 0-2 after one period and was down 4-3 with 18 seconds left in the bout, but he scored a reversal over Kameron Dugampat to win the bout 5-4 and make it a 16-9 match. Isaiah Ilich (138) then used the same formula as Conroy. He trailed after two periods and rallied to tie the score at 7

lives on the line for all of us. Congress should cut their pay and benefits before they consider cutting any of yours. I would give the boosters, donors and sponsors of all sports, youth and high school and club and travel, a championship. You all are winners in every sense of the word and you are building future winners in society. A couple of banners would be nice. I would give Damon Blankenbaker a new bike, Dave Lohman a real cowboy hat, Bob Verhoest a Pick 6, Tony Dunkailo another job to retire from, Joe Edwards a new golf cart, Joan Snelling an air conditioner for the ticket booth in the summer and a heater in the winter, Bob Snelling a new rake, Leighanne Kerchner a sports car to deliver lunches in at RHS, The Hemphills a meal at a quality restaurant, Alec Richardson an appointment to the Naval Academy, Maureen Robertson a book of sports jargon, Steve Koch a wrestling room at RHS, Matt Lisowski a video professor, Joe Bess a new leash for Evie, Ben Naramore a hat that fits, Joe Cobian a trip to South Bend for his daughter, Tom Jamison a hard hat — and all of you the Happiest of Holidays. God bless you one and all.

in regulation. Ilich then beat Alexander Graves in OT 8-7 and it looked like the Dawgs might have a chance, with the score 1612 in favor of the Knights. The Knights then won three straight bouts. Ray Lemon (145) lost by fall to Tavis Ino. Brian Coane (152) lost a major decision to Arman Baghaei, and Justin Sojourner (160) lost by fall to Erik Colin to give San Marcos a 32-12 lead with four matches left on the card. Enter Devin Rhodes (170). He pinned Josue Gonzales in 3:22 to give Ramona a mathematical chance at a victory. Noe Hernandez followed Rhodes’ lead and pinned Andres Cuadros in 5:25 to make it a 32-24 match with two bouts to be wrestled. Now it was time to see if Koch and Guile’s strategy would work. Josh Allen was slated to wrestle in the 195 bout. Koch substituted Allen, an automatic win at that weight, with Andy Burns. Burns did his job. After a 6-6 first period, Burns dominated Neal Sustaita to win by a major decision. It got down to the 220 bout. Allen was a lock in the 195 bout, but he had to give away over 25 pounds

in the 220 bout. It took Allen 1:31 to pin Blake Nash and guarantee a victory for the Dawgs. Allen was penalized a team point for being elated by his win. He was not unsportsmanlike, but he did raise his hands in celebration. Ramona led 33-32. San Marcos forfeited the heavyweight bout to Jureall Simmons to give the senior a nice 18th birthday present and the Bulldogs a 39-32 win. “It just goes to show that every once in a while coaching pays off, especially when your athletes do a great job,” deadpanned Koch.

Larson had seven saves and five steals in the game. The Bulldogs had a team total of 18 steals and also had a field block. “The defense is pretty solid,” Williams said. Williams noted that the Bulldogs allowed a goal a quarter to the Wolf Pack. Ramona took 27 shots in the 28 minutes of play. “When you’re playing that solid you expect better opportunities on the offensive side. That will come in time, I’m sure,” Williams said.

Resolve

his past year has brought many blessings to me and my team at the club. I want to encourage the people of Ramona to strive to be 1 percent better every day in 2012! Your commitment and dedication to be you, only better, will pay dividends not only now but in the coming months and years. You cannot just go gung-ho on a program in the beginning. You MUST have

daily perseverance to achieve your goals to be better. If you haven’t already, now is the time to start planning or at least thinking about how you are going to be you 1 percent better starting Jan. 1, 2012. I am in the business of results. Without results I am without clients. Here’s the funny thing. Many times I get clients where they want to go and in turn they

see me less and I earn less income. That’s OK. I’ve done my job well if I teach them how to achieve these goals on their own. Don’t get me wrong. Many clients still need accountability and coaching long-term to stay on track, but learning how to achieve success on your own is key. Let’s get down to business here and start resolving. In order to succeed you must BE DECISIVE. Know what you want to achieve and be ultra specific, detailed and exhaustive about your goal. If it’s to lose weight weight, how much and in what time frame. You must BE REALISTIC. If you want to lose 100 pounds, are you re-

OBITUARIES

LaDonna Ariana Renner-Gurley 1951 – 2011

Ariana Renner-Gurley, 60, of Ramona, passed away December 11, 2011. “With the saints give rest, oh Christ, to the soul of your servant, where sickness and sorrow are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting.” Blessed wife, loving mother, beloved grandmother, and best friend, Ariana was finally welcomed home by Jesus on a beautiful Sunday evening. She was surrounded by those nearest and dearest to her heart. Born February 13, 1951, in Florence, Italy, Ariana was the daughter of LaDonna Ariana Gandi Renner and Donald A. Renner, who both preceded her. Ariana’s sisters, Nancy and JoAnne, were also in Heaven to

greet her. One of four siblings, she was lovingly known as “musina” (little mouse) since as a child, petite Ariana was often found in the pantry eating bits of cheese. Married to John T. Gurley for 24 years, she was able to raise her two sons, Mikal and Matthew, first in Oceanside, CA, before settling in the small town of Ramona, CA. Ariana is survived by her husband, Rev. Fr. John Gurley; sons, Mikal (Melissa) of Michigan, Matthew (Melissa) of Ramona, CA; foster daughter, Vanya Smith; younger brother, Don Renner of Virginia; and grandchildren, Annabelle, Gabriel and Danielle Renner also of Ramona, CA. Ariana adored children and worked in the education field both as an assistant teacher, at James Dukes Elementary, as well as assisting kids with art and transportation at the Ramona Boys & Girls Club. A viewing was held on Monday, December 19, 2011, from 10am – 12noon at the Bonham Bros. & Stewart Mortuary Chapel in Ramona. Burial will immediately follow at Nuevo Memory Gardens in Ramona.

ally able to do this in 3 months? Probably not, but in 12 months that’s 8 pounds per month and totally realistic. FIND YOUR REASON. This is critical. Wanting to lose weight is one thing, wanting to lose so you can do a zip line, climb Everest, play competitive softball or regain that self confidence you once had in high school are all reasons beyond the goal itself. LET IT BE KNOWN. Telling other people we ARE going to do something triggers something inside us. There is a drive in us not to fail and this is especially true when we verbalize our goals to others. We have a visual goal chart in our back office for certain bench-

marks for our staff. All staff members’ goals are up for all to see just for this reason. BUILD ON THE GOOD and HAVE A SHORT MEMORY. When you make strides toward your goal, celebrate in productive ways. Tell others of your success and be proud of your accomplishments. The opposite is true as well. When you mess up and overeat or miss the gym, GET OVER IT! You absolutely want to learn from your mistakes, but do not dwell on them and let them get you in a downward spiral. VISUALIZE and MEDITATE on what you want to achieve. One common thread among top athletes and performers

is their keen sense of the benefits and value of seeing themselves already achieving the goal they have set before themselves. As a young teen bodybuilder, I pictured myself winning the first prize and beating the others in the field. I know one professional golfer, Aaron Baddeley, who does this visualization and meditation before each swing he takes. It’s going to be a phenomenal year and I know, if you do these key steps in setting your resolutions, that you will succeed!

TOY DRIVE WITH A TWIST—The third annual Christmas for Foster Kids Toy Drive started with a twist on Saturday, Dec. 10, at 2674 Main St. This year was a little different as the Grinch arrived in Santa’s place. Danielle Franklin, pictured with the Grinch and a snowman, is surrounded by some of the donated toys. Pictures with the Grinch and friends were available along with fresh hot chocolate, cookies, brownies and face painting. All donations collected go directly to San Diego County Foster children. The Franklin family has decorated their home brightly for the holiday season since 2007. Three years ago the family decided to start a toy drive to raise toys for foster children in the county. The two-day “Come See Grinch & Friends” event concluded on Saturday, Dec. 17.

Holiday surprise Clockwise from top left: Essay writer winners, the original recipients of new bicycles and helmets, are pictured with Bill Pollakov, Hanson Elementary Principal Shelagh Appleman and Debbie Pollakov; Bill Pollakov, co-founder of the Bikes for Kids Foundation, talks to Hanson Elementary second- and third-graders before declaring, “Everybody gets a bike”; volunteers spent a Saturday assembling nearly 170 new bicycles; and the expressions on the faces of some students say a great deal as they listen to winning essays being read, perhaps wondering if theirs will be next. For an article and more photos, see pages 1 and 17 and www.ramonasentinel.com.
