WINTER WONDERLAND—“Snow” falls on children at the Ramona branch of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater San Diego. The snowfall was provided by Dr. Bronner’s Magic SnoFOAMing. The Ramona branch at Collier Park was the first of several boys and girls club branches in the San Diego area last week to experience the Magic SnoFOAM.

Hunter aide, former chamber leader dies in crash Well-known Ramona resident Nelson Edward “Mac” MacWilliams was killed in a one-vehicle accident on Wildcat Canyon Road on Tuesday, Dec. 20. A ﬁeld representative for Congressman Duncan D. Hunter, MacWilliams was former executive director of the Ramona Chamber

of Commerce. A Navy veteran, he worked in a variety of areas for Hunter, but is most known for his role as an advocate for veterans. He also worked with the border patrol, ﬁre victims and small businesses, serving as a liaison between the Congressman’s ofﬁce and federal

agencies. MacWilliams, 54, frequently attended chamber ribbon cuttings for new businesses and new chamber members, presenting the owners with certiﬁcates from Hunter. California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the collision,

which occurred just south of Muth Valley Road about 1:20 p.m. CHP Ofﬁcer Brian Pennings reported that MacWilliams was southbound on Wildcat Canyon Road in his 2004 black Ford F150 extra cab pickup truck when for an unknown reason the vehicle drifted off the right side of the

roadway and collided with a rock embankment. According to the CHP report, the vehicle went onto its left side wheels as it went back across the southbound and northbound lanes and landed upside down on the guardSee MacWilliams on page 20

Design review board has ideas to improve look of solar farm By KAREN BRAINARD While one resident called a proposed solar farm for property at Ramona Street and Warnock Drive “ugly,” members of the Ramona Design Review Board developed a list of mostly aesthetic changes for the controversial project. Will Pritchard from Sol Orchard, Chris Brown, president of Alchemy Consulting Group, and John Andrew from RBF Consulting presented the proposed solar farm to the design review board at its Dec. 15 meeting. Chris Anderson, a member of the board, noted that the county did not require the project to receive design review input. Anderson, who is also a member of the Ramona Community Planning Group, said she requested the representatives bring the project to the board for feedback. “I felt it is significant, especially when it comes to the shielding,” she said. The proposal for a solar farm has gone before

the planning group about three times and has met resistance from planners and residents who believe it will be a visual blight on a section of Ramona’s agricultural land. The solar project would take up about 45 of 110 acres at 1650 Warnock Drive on land owned by Mark Bousema. The solar panels will be on a tracking system and will be flat around noon, but tilt at a 45-degree angle east in the morning and west in the afternoon, said Pritchard. The height of the panels when tilted would be 5 to 8 feet, he said, but added that with land variations the peak of some panels could reach a maximum of 11 feet when fully tilted. The arrays are estimated to produce 7-1/2 megawatts of electricity. “The sizing is such that it will feed into the local distribution system,” said Pritchard. He said the project was underwritten with a 25-year power purchase agreement that has been signed by San Diego Gas & Electric.

Bousema’s hog farm and a grazing area would remain, Pritchard said, and the panels would be installed where there is dry farming. Pritchard said this is Sol Orchard’s biggest project in San Diego County. Donna Myers, who lives across the street from the site, was one of approximately 10 residents who came to hear the presentation and board’s comments. “You’re taking a scenic rural beauty spot and converting it to ugly,” Myers said. “Industrial development and agricultural land are not compatible.” Design review board member Rob Lewallen said it is not within the board’s purview to say whether the solar project can be built there. The board works under the assumption that it will be built, Lewallen said. “We’re here to advise how it’s going to look.” Design review member Evelyn McCormick asked why that location was selected for a solar farm.

Pritchard said it was due to three reasons: power lines located there, the size of the property, and the owner’s interest. Environmental and maintenance issues were raised and members noted that hundreds of Canada geese fly to that area to nest. Lewallen said the geese do adapt to changes in surroundings. Area resident Ken Brennecke questioned whether the panels would give off a glare and said, “I absolutely do not want to see a glare field.” Pritchard said the panels are non-reflective. Brown said the project is going through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process and the mitigated negative declaration should be finished in a couple of months. The public will then have about 30 days to comment. Some issues may require mitigation, he said. “We’re in a heavy agricultural area,” said Myers. “I don’t think this can be mitigated. Can you ever

mitigate ugly?” After hearing landscaping plans that would try to buffer the panels, including vines on fencing and tall shrubs, the board came up with a list of recommended changes, mainly for the northwest corner of the site, where the future Dye Road extension is slated to be constructed. The board agreed to request the following, including changes to a proposed chain link fence: •Fencing 8 feet high for the north and west sides in green, black or brown vinyl with no barbed wire above. •Space to plant trees that will grow approximately 40 to 50 feet on the

northwest boundary where they would not create a shadow over the panels. •Put any lights on motion sensors or shield them. •Have landscaping plants reviewed by design review member and plant expert Carol Close, who was absent from the meeting. •Straighten the line of panels on the northwest corner to create more setback from the future Dye Road Extension. Brown said the requests will be taken to the county, and in January they plan to return to the planning group and then move through the county process.

Town Hall trustees end year on high note By MAUREEN ROBERTSON Ramona Town Hall trustees started their last meeting of the year on a high note. In Your Own Backyard crafters Vicki Franano and Lynette Harding presented the trustees with a check for $600 to go toward restoration of historic Ramona Town Hall at 729 Main St. The donation comes from the In Your Own Backyard Holiday Craft Fair held in Ramona Town Hall earlier this month. “We’re ready to do it again in the spring,” said Franano, a Ramona resident, telling the trustees at their Dec. 21 meeting that about 1,000 people visited the three-day craft fair. The craft group tentatively has set April 27-29 for its next craft fair in Ramona Town Hall. This is the second $600 donation toward Town Hall restoration from the crafters. The first came last year after they held a fair in the 117-year-old adobe building donated to the people of Ramona — then called Nuevo — in 1894. In other business at the Town Hall Board meeting: •Sandee Salvatore, board secretary and treasurer, reported that Town Hall had received $4,000 from an anonymous donor. After reviewing other recent donations, she accounted for recent expenses for the Town Hall restoration project, commenting

that there had been $26.33 in the Town Hall account in June 2008 and there now is $3,543.90. •Salvatore, who owns The Original Old Town Ramona Antique Fair across the street, said two people she met through her business are connected with Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO), the group that recently purchased the historic Santa Ysabel General Store. They are working with the architect who worked on restoration of Balboa Theatre in downtown San Diego and offered to have the architect evaluate the possibility of less invasive and expensive ways to repair Ramona Town Hall, she said. •Town Hall Board member and Construction Committee Chairman Darrell Beck reported on recent renovation work in the hall’s West Wing. The lower rooms in the front portion of Town Hall need to be primed and painted, there’s carpentry work to be done, and cabinets, handrails, gutters and vents for air conditioning and heating are among tasks left. Beck recommended that the group “move forward with the priming next week” and perhaps have a “primer party” before painting. He said he will repair the drugstore cabinets that longtime Ramona resident Donna Zick donated after Ramona Pharmacy closed at 677 Main St.

“There’s a lot of carpentry work to do,” he said, adding that they could seek donations from people for items such as carpeting, flooring and fencing. “We will attack one at a time,” Salvatore said of work projects ahead. “We’ll just nibble away at it,” said Woody Kirkman, board president. •The trustees set the date for the unveiling of portraits of Martha and Augustus Barnett for Sunday, Feb. 26. Ramona artist Judy Nachazel, president of the Ramona Pioneer Historical Society, did the charcoal portraits of the Barnetts, Beck said. The Barnetts donated Town Hall to the people of Ramona on Washington’s birthday on Feb. 22, the reason the board scheduled the unveiling as close to the date as possible. Beck said the circa 1905 piano in the East Wing of Town Hall will be moved to the West Wing — and tuned — for the unveiling. The mother-son team of Pamela and Andrew Stubbs of Ramona are scheduled to play period music on the piano and violin at the event. The board hopes to have all work completed on the West Wing for the unveiling but, because they are providing most of the volunteer labor, they are uncertain about a completion date •Beck suggested using the small office in Town Hall as a gift shop. “Years ago we were going to have a library in there,” commented Beck, a retired building contractor, adding that he could build cabinets. Responding to Salvatore’s question of who would man a gift shop, Beck said Friends of Ramona Town Hall members are a possibility. The shop wouldn’t be open every day, he said. “It would also serve as a history room,” said Kirkman. •The board tabled discussion of Casino Benefit Night and postponed Silent Picture Night until spring. Ramona Town Hall is about 6,727 square feet. Restoration of the front portion is about 80 per-

Architecture students design possibilities for Ramona By KAREN BRAINARD

icture a pedestrianfriendly plaza in Ramona with a mixture of retail, business and residential, along with a visitor center and clock tower. Or envision buildings in Old Town offering wine tasting rooms and outdoor dining. How about a pedestrian bridge over Main Street for safer access to the Ramona Library? Consider a civic space by state Route 78 and Main Street that provides a farmers market for wineries. Think about a gas station in Old Town incorporated into a mixed-use building with Old West architecture. Visualize residential units built above historic Old Town buildings, creating a blend of old and new. These were all scenes and ideas created by thirdyear master’s students from the NewSchool of Architecture for their class finals. The architecture students were in a class taught by Howard Blackson, the PlaceMakers consultant who is working with the Ramona Village Design Group to develop custom-tailored zoning and design standards for Ramona. The students presented their projects to the village design group at a meeting in Ramona Town Hall. “How would you try designing a public building and a private building in Ramona?” Blackson said

the students were asked. Blackson said it was hard work for them to figure out architectural elements and character for Ramona. He took the students on a tour of Main Street in the Paseo and Old Town sections of Ramona in October and gave them the options of choosing which area to work on. One of the sites chosen was the future Ramona Intergenerational Community Campus (RICC). The Ramona Library at Main and 13th streets is a key part of RICC. Cody Osborne, who called his project “Iconic Ramona,” said due to the traffic along Main Street there is no easy way to cross the street to the library. “I saw that as a problem,” he said during his presentation. He also said he noticed that the library lacked outdoor areas for enjoyment. Osborne designed a pedestrian bridge crossing over Main Street with an entrance to the RICC featuring arches and an “icononic” monument. The bridge led to a two-story RICC center and an outdoor amphitheater built next to the library. Water features were also included in the design. “I’m really impressed with what you ended up with,” Blackson commented. Architecture student Matt Gummow said he studied the pediments, symmetry and roof lines of buildings in Old Town and worked some of those

elements into his Paseo Plaza at Main Street and Montecito Road where the Albertsons shopping center is. The plaza replaced the parking lot with threestory mixed-use buildings — combining retail and residential spaces — and a civic space with a new town hall, a clock tower and a visitor center. Green spaces were added and on-street parking was created in his design. Blackson pointed out that installing big parking lots in front of shopping centers is a concept from the 1970s. Now the focus is on placing buildings right on Main Street, he noted. Village Design Chair Rob Lewallen said the plaza was much nicer than a big parking lot, however, he would not want a lot of three-story buildings. Sam Beard, another student, said he diagnosed the current conditions in Ramona and asked, “How can we foster smart growth?” Also addressing the placement of parking lots in front of stores, he said, “The typical suburban sprawl is backwards.” Beard focused on creating a space by Main and state Route 78 that combined civic space “where people can gather,” outdoor dining, shopping and a farmers market for wineries. Lewallen noted it would be a long-range plan as would be the Paseo Plaza. He also pointed out that the four-story buildings depicted would be a hard

sell because the bulk of the community is not in favor of three-story buildings. Resident Dawn Perfect said she liked some of the concepts including civic space at that location. “It’s definitely food for thought,” Perfect said. Also capitalizing on the wine industry was student Trish Gibbons, who focused on space in Old Town between Ramona Town Hall at 729 Main St. and the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet at Eighth and Main streets. Gibbons’ idea was to renovate an existing building and construct a two-story building with big windows on the empty lot next to the thrift store. Using Santa Barbara and the Bernardo Winery in Rancho Bernardo for case studies, Gibbons suggested wine tasting rooms in the renovated building and a restaurant and sustainable garden for the new building. Although Lewallen said some of the design was a little too modern, he liked the concept, which would make the area more pedestrian-friendly. Student Linda Welliver also worked on space in Old Town, focusing on the area by the Circle K gas station and Packard’s

coffee shop at Main and Seventh streets, where she said some buildings are too urban. For case studies and comparisons, Welliver looked at Daniel’s West, the Pott Belly Shop and architectural details in the Northern California communities of Paso Robles and Sonoma. Her concept, she said, was to use “old western” architectural details, which she exhibited in a two-story mixed-use building that incorporated a gas station, with the pumps off to the side, along with commercial space above and residential space in back. Lewallen and others said they liked some of the Old West architectural elements. Student Thomas Ross chose the block with Town Hall for his project, basing

it on combining density and centrality. “Density in a modern sense,” he said. Framing the historical buildings on that block, he designed residential units with a bit more modern look above the former Victorian Supply building and added residential spaces on Seventh Street behind Orange Book Directories. Instead of suburban sprawl, he said “capitalize on this Main Street.” The ground floor space would have businesses and a walkable market, he said. “There’s a lot of good, really fresh ideas here,” Lewallen said after the projects were presented. Village design member Jim Robinson commented, “They picked up on what could be done here. Got us a good look at what could happen here.”

OPINION

Guest Editorial

Expect the Extraordinary: Invite Miracles to Bless You in the New Year Psychologist and author Susan Apollon says that miracles do not happen by coincidence—we are designed for them. Here’s what you can do to invite those moments of divine magnitude into your life. lbert Einstein once said of miracles: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Intuitive psychologist and author Susan Apollon agrees, and has spent more than two decades backing up this hypothesis by studying the nature of miracles and the conditions under which they occur. Her conclusion? That everyone can receive these natural gifts because we are all spiritually connected to God, Source, Allah, or whatever a person chooses to call this wellspring of goodness. Here are a few suggestions and insights that will prepare you to receive your own miracles: • Give yourself permission to be open to extraordinary experiences. “As a psychologist who has sat with patients who have shared countless wondrous stories of small and large miraculous events in their lives, I have come to recognize that the ability to experience miracles is often dependent on whether or not you choose to allow for the possibility of miracles in your life,” writes Apollon. Accept that you will allow the universe to do its good and it will respond accordingly. • Commit to making significant changes in negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs. This is especially important for a person suffering an illness because “anxiety and desperation have a strong tendency to block your ability to heal.” Apollon says that to change this stone-set pattern we must always be aware of what we are feeling and then consciously change our thoughts, replacing negative or disturbing images with positive and empowering ones. • Write your intentions down. In detail, record on paper with joyful enthusiasm exactly what you desire from the universe––daily. Expect good things to be placed in your path and they will come––be it a spiritual visit from a passed loved one, a new chance in a waning relationship or a miraculous

Reflections on school board meeting By JOHN RAJCIC

he classroom has not changed much since I entered the first grade 75 years ago. What has changed dramatically is societal respect for the teacher. Why is this? We teachers ourselves may be a bit responsible; however, I believe, it is the diminishing authority of the teacher due to countless laws and policies — state and federal intervention also. This is somewhat in jest; however, in humor there is invariably a kernel of truth. I was going to write an article on the 8th Amendment but no need. One needs to just sit through an entire school board meeting, with zipped lip, to ap-

Guest Commentary preciate the purpose of the amendment. I would hope the board as a minimum would allow a publicized 15-minute, non-structured question and answer period for the general public. By so doing, I believe our schools would lose nothing and gain much. Confident and competent administrators should welcome community feedback at any time at any place. Under current policy, it appears useless to ask the board a question or express a concern. The board does not respond. Apparently not ever, even if there

are only two people in the audience. Our student representatives on our board will shortly be able to become Marines in Afghanistan. As a minimum, involve them in the dialogue as appropriate.

to myself, “my God, that is just what we need—another regulation.” What happened to personal and individual responsibility? We should be thinking about shrinking the voluminous education and administrative codes, not adding to them. Are more policies and rules really needed? It seems every move a teacher makes is already covered somewhere in existing laws, regulations and policy. Detailed regulations may in fact limit discretion and prevent a teacher from doing the right thing at the appropriate moment. Policies should be broad statements of intent and implemented in a “reasonable” manner. Teachers must be trusted. About the school lunch program.

Senior Center has great deal for which to be thankful

Dear Ramona, An article was published in the Ramona Sentinel some weeks ago describing our plight here at the Ramona Senior Center regarding our low attendance and the need for donations. Thanks to Maureen Robertson of the Ramona Sentinel for her concern about our circumstances, our community has rallied and 107 seniors attended our “Bring a Senior to Lunch Day,” which we plan to have once a month starting in January. We want the senior community to know we are here Monday through Friday and serve lunch starting at 11:30 a.m. and we would like them to make us a regular habit. We do ask for a requested donation of $4 per person. Seniors are welcome to bring a non-senior guest for a charge of $6. We thank the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet who have committed themselves g

to $9,000 in donations to our program. The Ramona Food and Clothes Closet has been helping the senior center since 1995. We also thank our Back Country Ramona Quilters who gave us $1,400 and the First Congregational Church’s Crop Walk donation of $421.75. Alyssa White, an Olive Peirce Middle School student, committed herself last summer to a goal of raising $800 for the center. She met that goal and presented the money to us just before Thanksgiving. We also take this time to thank those who are responding to our “Paper Plate” nutrition food drive. I am confident that the community will help us to erase our deficit eventually and look forward to continue serving not only our seniors, but our community in time when called upon in time of a disaster. Ray Cardona Executive director Ramona Senior Center

I’m sure most of you have seen the brightly lit Christmas sleigh going around town. I, for one, was fortunate enough to experience a ride last evening through a friend. The owners, Bill and Judy, had lap throws for our use as well as large bells and musical gadgets for the guests to ring out. Bill has Christmas carols playing on his CD player. This was an incredible experience, in how much laughter and joy they give, not only to their passengers, but every person

in town we passed laughed and waved, whether walking along the sidewalk, or sitting at a stop light. Those working in stores, would run to the front windows and greet us! It was contagious! What an incredible amount of work he has put in to creating his sleigh and each evening GIVING so much joy and happiness to so many. This is the true spirit of Christmas. Melanie Parker Ramona

words: “The district will endeavor to serve healthy, nutritious meals.” Now thinking about moving the sixth grade to the junior high school. I say “junior high school” because it is a more descriptive term than middle school. We should be decentralizing, not centralizing. Consider the additional costs to the district and inevitable increase in incidental costs to families. Why spend finite resources and time fixing something that seems to be working well? Now the curriculum. Set objectives, supply materials and stop changing and fussing with details. Don’t water down courses, be creative. Teachers have different styles and they know best how to do their job. Teachers try different approaches to “reach” a student—approaches one cannot find in a manual or rules and regulations. Teaching is an art. There is not one way to “teach” 1,000 students but 1,000 ways to “teach” one student.

Guest editorial

We must restore more trust in our public schools. Teaching is not a lost art, but regard for teaching seems to be a lost tradition and voluminous policies and finite rules do not help . Good teachers will just do the right thing, whatever that may be. Teachers may not realize it but next to parents they are amongst the most significant people in a child’s life. I have a high regard for those that run for any public office, including our nonpartisan school board. I believe our board strives to provide a good education for all children that come through the school house door. It is never to late to do the right thing. I pray that 2012 will be a great year for our school board, teachers, kids and community. May God help us all do the right thing. John Rajcic is a Ramona resident.

recovery. Above all, keeping your heart brimming full of love and compassion is the most important factor needed in the creation of miracles. If we all are somehow connected together, this simple intention is the healing balm needed to rescue Earth and all souls upon it. What better way to begin fresh in the New Year than with a new faith-based attitude that risks

little sorrow and at most promises unprecedented hope and joy? Apollon asserts, “I think we’re all hungry for that, even diehard skeptics. Especially diehard skeptics. My overarching message is that life itself is extraordinary––miraculous! And all it takes to realize that is to open your eyes and see the amazing things that surround us all, every day.”

Public can watch dam-raising project A web-based camera system will allow the public to watch the progress of a $450 million construction project to raise the height of the San Vicente Dam, the San Diego County Water Authority announced Thurday. The dam’s height will go from 200 feet to 337 feet, making it the largest rollercompacted concrete dam raise in the world, according to the water authority. The project will more than double the capacity of the

San Vicente Reservoir, allowing it to hold an additional 150,000 acre-feet of water. The camera system compresses weeks of construction work into brief time-lapse videos and also posts two high-resolution photographs every 30 minutes, Water Authority spokesman Jason Foster said. It can be viewed at sdcwa.org/san-vicente-damraise. “The value of this cam-

era technology is that it helps the water authority document the historic record of this major construction project, while at the same time allowing members of the public to view its progress online,’” board Chairman Michael T. Hogan said. “This dam raise will help protect the region’s economy, job base and quality of life by increasing the amount of water available for use within the county.’’ added Hogan.

Ramona Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teams with Boys and Girls Club By BRIAN MENDOZA Ramona Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is teaming up with the Ramona Boys and Girls club to offer Jiu Jitsu/selfdefense classes to club members. Once a month youngsters from the Boys and Girls Club will take a supervised walk from the club in Collier Park to the Ramona Jiu Jitsu academy

for lessons. Although the program is open to all Boys and Girls club members, initially 14 students will be selected based on positive behavior. More students will be invited as the program expands. “I would like to expose as many kids, and the community, to self-defense and Jiu Jitsu as possible,” said Kevin Hosseini, Jiu Jitsu instructor.

With the trend of bullying on the rise in schools, both Ramona Jiu Jitsu and the Boys and Girls Club would like to build selfconfidence through Jiu Jitsu. This self-confidence deters bullies from harassing. According to the National Education Association, 160,000 students miss school every day because of bullying. This

partnership is looking to avoid allowing students in Ramona to become a statistic, said Hosseini. Like the popular Gracie Bullyproofing program, Ramona JIu Jitsu will offer basic self-defense taught through games and reallife scenarios along with teaching students how to dissolve problems with verbal moderation. Hosseini provides a fun, fam-

ily atmosphere to the program, while at the same time teaching effective self-defense. “This is the first martial arts program being offered through the Ramona Boys and Girls Club,” said Simone McCune, director of the Ramona club. “We look forward to expanding the program so that all of our kids can benefit.” The program will start

the second Monday in January and will run from 4 to 5 p.m. The youngsters who are already signed up are excited and looking forward to the new experience, and Hosseini is looking forward to teaching another group of kids from the community.

Also pictured are Greg Trout, auxiliary secretary, and Kory Martenson, far right, auxiliary chaplain. Bacorn petitioned the men’s auxiliary for money to help pay for a bus trip for AVID students. In 1988, the AVID program was created to increase the number of underserved students enrolling in postsecondary education. Beginning with one class, the program now serves over 300 Ramona students. Approximately 90 percent of AVID students in Ramona matriculate to college, almost one-third higher than state and national averages, said Bacorn. Photo/Tom Taylor

HawkWatch 2012 starts Jan. 7 HawkWatch each year is the public’s opportunity to visit the Ramona Grasslands, view winter and resident raptors, and witness the winter migration of hawks, falcons and eagles. Sponsored by Wildlife Research Institute Inc. in Ramona, HawkWatch will be every Saturday in January at 9 a.m. at institute headquarters, 18030 Highland Valley Road. Admission is free. Institute biologists lead discussions about the life histories of the hawks, eagles and other raptors and the signiﬁcance of the Ramona Grasslands ecosystem to the raptors’ survival. Visitors will see raptors such as the golden eagle, wintering ferruginous hawk, red-tailed hawk, prairie falcon and red-shouldered hawk. Nineteen species of raptors have been recorded at this raptor hotspot. Demonstrations of eagle trapping and tracking eagles with transmitters are among other features of the morning. Project Wildlife and Sky Hunters will have birds on site. All ages are welcome. The program lasts about three hours, and only heavy rain will cancel a Saturday tour. HawkWatch participants are asked to bring binoculars if they have them. For large groups and more information, call 760-789-3992 or visit www.wildlife-research.org.

Business News Here’s Your Year-end Investment Checklist As an investor, you’ve pretty much seen it all in 2011 — including slowbut-steady gains early in the year, a market correction during the debt ceiling debate and the U.S. credit downgrade, and huge oneday price movements, both up and down. But despite the volatility of the past 12 months, you can make some positive year-end investment moves, including the following: •Boost your 401(k) contributions. If your employer permits you to make extra contributions to your 401(k), put in as much as you can afford, up to contribution limits. You typically contribute pretax dollars, so the more you invest, the lower your taxable income. Plus, your earnings have the potential to grow on a tax-deferred basis. •Consider converting to a Roth IRA. You might benefit by converting a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), which offers tax-deferred earnings, to a Roth IRA, whose earnings grow tax free, providing you don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re at least age 59½ and you’ve held your account for five years. Keep in mind, though, that you’d need the money available to pay the taxes that would be due on such a conversion. Also, income limits apply to Roth IRA contributions. This is a complex decision that you should discuss with your qualified tax professional. •Set up automatic contributions for 2012. Like most people, you may find it difficult to come up with a lump-sum payment to fully fund your IRA for the year. Why not set up an automatic investment plan for 2012? By directing your bank to transfer the same amount each month from your checking or savings account to your IRA, you’ll find it easier to “max

out” on your IRA — and, at the same time, you’ll boost your investment discipline. •Contribute to a 529 plan. When you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings have the potential to grow tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (However, 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to income tax and a 10 percent penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes. Discuss this with your tax professional. •Re-evaluate your investment mix. It’s a good idea to review your investment mix at least once a year to help ensure your portfolio is still aligned with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. Due to changes in market value, your portfolio can undergo subtle, but significant, changes — even if you took no action yourself. Consequently, take the time to review your holdings with your investment professional to help ensure you’re still “on track.” •Review your insurance coverage. If you’ve experienced any changes in your life in 2011 — new spouse, new child, divorce, new job, etc. — you may need to review your life insurance coverage to make sure that it’s still sufficient for your needs and that you still have the correct beneficiaries in place. To determine if any of these actions are right for your situation, consult with your financial adviser and qualified tax professional. By taking these and other steps, you can close out 2011 on a positive note and get 2012 off to a good start. Financial adviser Yvonne Catton’s Edward Jones office is at 850 Main St., Suite 104, in Ramona. She may be contacted at 760-789-2804.

Remember 2009, when my marketing agency was named the greatest grocery store in San Diego County? We were honored by the U.S. Commerce Association Review Committee, which offered to provide us with an award, plaque and press release suitable for local media outlets —all for a mere $200. After vacuuming up the confetti, we returned to work. Yet the committee wasn’t done with us. Portraying

Clean Up In Aisle 3 — An Update us as grocers, they sold our name to credit card processors, magazines, uniform companies and webinar developers. Two years later we’re still getting solicitations. Efforts to remove us from those lists have proved fruitless. I’d probably laugh at this entire situation if the constant barrage of phone calls and emails didn’t distract us from business. Like with unwanted faxes arriving from every travel and insurance company under the sun, though, I’m the guy who pays for this entertainment. I’m not amused. We all understand technical support is increasingly provided by faceless drones in Upper Slobovia. Their sometimes questionable English comprehension made them conclude

MarketBuilding MUST be a grocery store. Did anyone examine our website? I won’t debate political and economic ramifications of outsourcing. However, selling mailing lists without determining if the information being sold is accurate is bad news for the mailing list industry overall. The veracity of all mailing lists becomes questionable. My inability to independently verify unknown lists’ value, plus being increasingly squeezed for time, convinces me to pay more to rent from established mailing list firms like Venture or InfoUSA. Or I work directly with trade associations or magazines to rent their lists. Of course not all small lists are stinkers. Sang the Jackson 5: “One bad apple don’t

spoil the whole bunch girl.” It may make sense to rent a house list from someone you know personally. However, if you sell medical supplies and get a stray email offering “Every American kidney donor on a single mailing list” at a ridiculously cheap price, BEWARE! Then, if you DO rent that list, don’t be surprised to discover you’re trying to sell dialysis equipment to the “Kid Knee Playground Safety Equipment Co.” I’m betting they don’t buy anything from you. With that said, I wish you a week of profitable marketing. Mr. Marketing’s grocery career highlight was returning a year’s worth of cans and bottles to Albertsons.

Volunteers spread holiday cheer to Ramona’s elderly living alone BY DIXIE PETTIT Senior Volunteer Patrol members assigned to San Diego County Sheriff’s Ramona Substation added some extra holiday cheer as they delivered gift bags to some of the elderly and disabled Ramona residents registered in the You Are Not Alone (YANA) program. Volunteers Gerrie Griffin and Wally Jewel loaded up 26 brightly-colored bags into a patrol car to provide “a little something” to each person under the protective wings of these home-town guardian angels. “Gerrie did all the hard work,” Jewel said as they made their rounds last Thursday. “Nah!” denied Griffin, “Barbara (Wallace, crime prevention specialist at the sheriff’s Ramona station) did all the work. I just made a few calls.” Even Wallace gave the credit to others. “Actually, the gifts were made possible by the First Congregational Church of Ramona, the Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church Men’s Ministry, Grace Community Church, and Brownie Troop 8009 made the cards for each of the bags,” she said. The staff at the Ramona substation also contributed. “Gerrie spreads the word,” said Wallace. “Area churches and the (substation) employees make contributions of their own money to get the bags together.” According to Wallace, the bags have trinkets in them such as notepads, pens, cookies, flashlights with batteries, “and we even gave them jewelry...I put in some candy necklaces!” When asked if there was an item not in the bag and perhaps needed by some of the residents, Wallace was quick to point out many of the people enrolled in the YANA program have pets. “Dog food – that and cat food. Many of them have pets as their only source of companionship during the

day. They always need pet food.” On just about any given day while driving Ramona streets, one is bound to see a “senior volunteer” in a patrol vehicle. From vacation security checks to health and welfare checks for the elderly or disabled, 28 volunteers provide a safety net that would otherwise be too time-consuming for the day-to-day demands of law enforcement personnel. With fewer than 30 staff members responsible for “law enforcement services to nearly 40,000 residents in Ramona and covering an area of over 150 square miles,” the volunteers are “truly priceless,” said Wallace. “If you were to add up the hours they put in and try to put a dollar amount on it, it would be — nope you just couldn’t do it,” said Wallace, adding, “thousands, tens of thousands.” The quality and type of personal service the volunteers provide is worth much more than a number, she said. “A dollar amount would not do (them) justice. They are invaluable.”

Established in San Diego County nearly 18 years ago, the Senior Volunteer Program plays an integral support role in maintaining the safety of the citizens. “These people save lives and support public safety overall,” states Melissa Aquino, public affairs officer for the sheriff’s department. “The YANA program has helped our shut-ins receive emergency services.” Griffin provided an example. “There was this one lady I remember didn’t answer her scheduled phone call,” he said. “We sent a patrol over there immediately and found she had fallen early that morning and was on the floor. She had one of those Life Alerts (medical alert neck buttons) but had never pushed it. I said, ‘Adrian, why didn’t you push your Life Alert?’ and she just looked at me and said ‘Gerrie, I knew you guys would come and get me.’ THAT is when it really hit home for me. These people know we are here for them. They know there is always somebody making sure they are all right.” The program is com-

prised of people over the age of 50 who are asked to volunteer a minimum of six hours a week. While Jewel is fairly new to the program with only a year, Griffin has been on patrol for six years and is “going to get my 3,000 hour star for volunteer time.” Aquino asks the public to be proactive in determining services available to them as well as identifying people who might benefit from taking advantage of the extra safety net. “The YANA program is free to seniors who live alone,” she said. “We call them every day to see if they need anything. If we don’t hear from them, we go for a visit to make sure they are OK. We also do regular visits if they want to, just for a chat. “So many people in the community aren’t even aware of everything that is available to everyone for free. There isn’t any charge to become a part of these programs, but people do need to ask. Maybe it is a friend or a neighbor you know that could utilize

Dates set for spring soccer league signups Ramona Soccer League signups for the spring season will start in early January. Signups will be in front of Quizno’s at 1664 Main St. in the Stater Bros. center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Jan. 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and 22 and Feb. 4, 5, 11 and 12. This will be an

the services, maybe it is a loved one who lives alone.” Volunteers do safety checks and vacation checks for those who are out of town. “The people in the community have this great resource,” said Aquino. “We just need to get the word out.” As Griffin and Jewel ring the first doorbell of the day, the door is opened wide and the gentlemen are welcomed by name. “Gerrie! Wally! Merry Christmas!” declared a beaming Charlotte. “It is so good to see you. Thank you so much!” Last names of YANA participants are not included for their safety, since they live alone, said Aquino. The next two doors

opened with the same enthusiastic greeting. Offers of chocolate and refreshments are politely declined as the volunteers have more than two dozen visits to go. One by one each resident is handed a present, but the best gift seems to be that of caring. These frail and elderly Ramonans living by themselves sleep better at night knowing they are not alone. “It’s like being a thrillionaire,” said Wallace. Volunteers undergo a background check, receive training and are asked to work a minimum of six hours per week. Volunteers are always needed. To enroll in YANA or to become a volunteer, call 760-789-9157 and ask for a senior volunteer.

RMWD weighted vote drops slightly at water authority Ramona Municipal Water District’s weighted vote on the San Diego County Water Authority Board will decrease slightly in 2012 from 2011. The Ramona district will have a 1.59 percent share of the CWA weighted vote during 2012 board meetings. The district had a 1.60 percent share for 2011, a 1.61 percent weighted vote in 2010, and

1.62 percent in 2009. Member votes are based on the total financial contribution from each agency. The contribution total includes all taxes, assessments, fees and charges paid to or on behalf of the CWA by property located within each member agency’s boundary. The cost of water treatment is not included, but the totals include standby charges, ca-

pacity charges, infrastructure access charges, readiness-toserve charges, connection and maintenance fees, annexation fees and charges for water delivered and sold to CWA member agencies. The contribution amount covers the fiscal year ending June 30.

The total financial contribution of all 24 CWA member agencies was $9.3 billion for the period ending June 30, 2011, an increase from the previous year’s $8.89 billion. Ramona’s most recent contribution calculation was $148 million. The district’s 2009-10 contribution was $142 million.

GINGERBREAD SCENE–Aldebaron “Allie” Levin, 9, displays the edible gingerbread farm scene she made with her aunt, Barbara Levin, who is the food and beverage director at Santa Ysabel Casino. Sitting on a large square of gingerbread, the scene includes a cottage, windmill, crops and a a frozen pond created with blue-dyed poured sugar. Allie says she did most of the decorating, using ribbon candy, candy canes, sour worms, chocolate gingerbread men, Nerds and other candies. Allie is the daughter of Thomas Levin, who has the gingerbread scene on display in his real estate office, TL & Associates, at the corner of Main and Eighth streets. Thomas Levin invites Ramonans to stop by and see the gingerbread farm. He and his sister, Barbara, owned BT Jac’s restaurant at that site in the 1990s. They plan to create a gingerbread town for the holidays next year with a wishing well that people can drop coins into to give to a local charity.

There was no evidence of drugs or alcohol, said Pennings. Emergency crews from Barona and Lakeside fire departments responded to the collision and pronounced MacWilliams dead at the scene.

Rodeo year in review

SPORTS

Ramona’s professional cowboys score high in 2011

By JOE NAIMAN

he late Casey Tibbs, a Ramona resident, won his first world All-Around championship, his only bareback riding title and the second of six saddle bronc riding titles in 1951, making 2011 the 60th anniversary of what may have been the rodeo champion’s greatest year. Modern-day Ramona cowboys and cowgirls

had their own successes in 2011. Officially the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) rodeo year runs from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30 (and if those two days are on the same weekend, as was the case in 2011, the season ends the previous Sunday), so several Ramona residents spent Jan. 14-15, 2011, in Las Vegas, where the 2010 California Circuit

finals were held. The top 12 earners in each event during the season qualify for the circuit finals, and three Ramonans competed in Las Vegas. Matt Deskovick entered the circuit finals sixth in the steer wrestling earnings, Mason Malone qualified for the circuit finals in his rookie year after ending Sept. 30 11th in tie-down roping standings, and 2000 Ramona High

School graduate Junior Saenz, who now lives in Valley Center, ended the season fifth in bull riding earnings. Deskovick won the first steer wrestling go-round at the circuit finals and placed third in the average (aggregate). Malone took fourth in the first tie-down roping go-round. The 2010 circuit finals was also the last event for Ramona’s Markie Battaglia in her Miss Rodeo California capacity, although Battaglia would subsequently be honored by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. The supervisors declared Jan. 25, 2011, “Markie Battaglia Day” throughout the county. At the jackpot level, the Bustin’ Out Barrel Race in Buckeye, Ariz., took place Dec. 31 through Jan. 2. San Pasqual’s Devenport family won $3,000 with Macy Devenport earning $1,962 and Delia Devenport winning $1,038.

Cagers end week with two tourney wins By BILL TAMBURRINO The Bulldog basketball team had its best week of the season, winning two games in the X-Treme Glass Holiday Tournament at Sweetwater High School. The Dawgs went 2-2 in the tourney to improve their record to 3-6 on the season. The Dawgs started the tourney by playing well against traditional power, Hoover High School. Hoover controlled the tempo in the first half and took a 38-18 lead into the locker room at half. Ramona played well in the second half and outscored the Cardinals 36-26. The rally was not enough as the Dawgs lost 64-54.

“To pull off victories we must take care of the ball and play through difficult calls,” said Coach David Reichner, alluding to two key statistics in the game. Ramona committed 24 turnovers and sent Hoover to the free throw line 35 times to Ramona’s 13. Jonathan Schirer led the Dawgs in scoring with 13 points. Chris Durham and Travis Stevens scored nine points apiece. Kwayde Miller contributed 8 points to the cause. Zach White (2), Garlan Marshall (6), Ryan Heiar (1), Dylan Fieger (2), Matt Lawler (1) and Hunter Rowe (1) also scored for the Dawgs. Ramona beat Mar Vista 64-51 by taking the scor-

ing first and never relinquishing the lead. The Dawgs led 21-12 after one period and 41-21 at half. “Our focus was to get the ball inside on offense and to have our defense stop our opponents from penetrating the middle and force them to the baseline,” said Reichner. The strategy worked. Miller (11), Schirer (10) and Durham (10) all scored in double figures and got most of their points in the paint. Lawler contributed 7 points inside. White (3), Stevens (7), Marshall (4), Fieger (2) Jordan Farhat (7) and Rowe (3) also scored in Sentinel photo/Bill Tamburrino the victory. A key factor in Ramona’s Chris DurSee CAGERS on page 32

Destri Devenport did not win any money, but her three-day average made her the reserve champion for the 2D. The PRCA rodeos of 2011 included the Feb. 11-13 Yuma Jaycees Silver Spur Rodeo, which saw Malone place second in the first tie-down roping go-round and in the average to earn a total of $994. That rodeo also saw Ramona’s Cameron Elston make his PRCA debut, although he missed his first calf and his second calf didn’t stay tied for the required six seconds after Elston returned to his horse. Deskovick won the second steer wrestling goround at the April 9-10 Oakdale Saddle Club Rodeo, earning $891 for his time of 5.2 seconds. The first 2011 rodeo in San Diego County took place April 15-17 in Lakeside. Marcus Battaglia had a time of 10.3 seconds in the first tie-down roping go-round to place second and earn $827 while Saenz had an 82-point bull ride to split third and fourth and take home $1,176. The Woodlake Lions Club Rodeo took place

May 7-8. Malone’s time of 8.5 seconds won the tie-down roping, giving Malone $1,197 and his first outright win at a PRCA rodeo. Battaglia and Visalia’s Kyle Lockett won the team roping at Woodlake along with $1,171 apiece after a run of 5.2 seconds. Elston’s tie-down roping time of 10.6 seconds placed fourth for his firstever payout from a PRCA rodeo, specifically $299. Malone’s weekend earnings also included $386 for splitting fourth through sixth at the Mother Lode Round-Up in Sonora. The annual Ramona Rodeo took place May 20-22 and included 275 entrants. Elston not only won the tie-down roping buckle and $1,736 with a run of 9.6 seconds, but he and Malone had a team roping time of 6.9 seconds worth seventh place and $494. The $2,230 in the multiple events also made Elston the rodeo’s All-Around champion. Deskovick spent 5.4 seconds in his steer wrestling effort to split fourth and fifth place and take home See RODEO on page 32

Bulldog sports in review

Water polo, volleyball, swim, soccer, track, cross country

By JOE NAIMAN When Ramona High School water polo coach Donnie Williams was a player at El Capitan, he often faced the Valhalla High School squad coached by Joe Goss. Goss attended high school in what is now called the Silicon Valley, and one swim season the league championship came down to his race. All Goss had to do was beat out a Santa Clara swimmer named Mark Spitz. Goss lost that race to the future Olympic legend. Since Ramona was in the Palomar League for all of 2011, Williams and most of his fellow Ramona High coaches also learned about losing to top-level competition. Girls Water Polo Williams’ girls water polo squad began 2011 with a 4-3 record for the 2010-11 season. Palomar League play began during January 2011, and a 1-9

league record doomed the Bulldogs to an overall losing mark despite a 12-7 non-league record in regular-season play. Tournament competition allowed the Bulldogs to end league-induced losing streaks, and Ramona won four of five East County Invitational tournament matches and three of five San Diego Open games. The CIF playoff selection and seeding committee recognized Ramona’s tough schedule, and the water polo team was seeded sixth among the 12 teams in the Division II playoffs. The Bulldogs won their first-round game against Serra and took a 5-1 victory over thirdseeded Scripps Ranch. That set up a semifinal match against fellow Palomar League team Mount Carmel, which advanced to the finals with a 4-1 win at Ramona’s expense. The Bulldogs ended their season with a 15-17 record.

Although no Ramona girls received all-league status on the Palomar League’s first team, Bri Hogervorst was given secondteam accolades, and two others were recognized at the honorable mention level. One of those honorable mention players was Angie Uriostegui, whose high school career ended at the senior all-star game after the playoffs. Boys Soccer Ramona’s boys soccer team entered 2011 with an 8-3-1 record for the season split over two calendar years and brought that to 10-3-1 with a pre-league win over Mt. Miguel. That would be Ramona’s final win of the season. A scoreless tie against Valley Center gave Ramona a 10-3-2 mark prior to league play, which included three teams ranked by espnrise.com as among the nation’s top 50. A tie against Mt. Carmel to end the regular season kept Ra-

mona from an 0-10 league record, although the 0-9-1 mark still gave the Bulldogs last place in the standings. The Bulldogs were given the eighth seed in the CIF Division III playoffs, allowing for a first-round home game against Santana, but the Sultans scored the game’s only goal in sudden-death overtime and Ramona finished the season with a 10-13-3 record. The all-league teams included Andy Garcia and Brian Haro-Aquino on the second team and four other Ramona boys who received honorable mention designation. Girls Soccer Ramona’s girls soccer squad took a 4-3 record from the 2010 portion of the 2010-11 season, and the Bulldogs were 7-4 prior to the start of Palomar League play. The girls also had three league opponents ranked in the nation’s top 50, and Ramona lost all 10 league matches.

Ramona still earned the 10th seed in the CIF Division III playoffs, which was worth a road match against Grossmont North League champion Santana. The Bulldogs led at halftime before the Sultans’ 2-1 victory ended Ramona’s season at 7-15. The Palomar League girls soccer coaches still found room on the all-league second team for Lexi Hogan and Maria Solis, and four other Bulldogs received honorable mention recognition. National Signing Day On what is known as National Signing Day, since high school players can sign college letters of intent, three Ramonans committed to higher competition during a San Diego Hall of Champions ceremony Feb. 2. Tyler Jackson accepted a football scholarship to Western New Mexico University, Bryson Garcia’s U.S. Naval Academy years will include football, and

Lexi Slater agreed to Big Ten softball competition through an Iowa State University scholarship. Boys Swim The boys swim season began March 3 with a nonleague loss at Grossmont, but Garrett Glaudini’s high school debut produced a school record of 4:44.37 in the 500-yard freestyle, and he would lower that record several times during the year. One of those was during the April 2 Mission Viejo Invitational, where a time of 4:39.47 placed him fifth after he became the only freshman to qualify for the finals. Glaudini would also repeatedly break the 200yard individual medley school record. The March 11 boys swim meet between Ramona and Monte Vista saw the Bulldogs win all 11 events. Ramona won the Two Man class at the April 30 Ironman Relays at Del Norte See SPORTS REVIEW on page 31

Athlete OF THE WEEK

Kwayde Miller key in cagers’ come-from-behind victory By BILL TAMBURRINO In football most people don’t focus on the big men, especially the offensive linemen. In basketball it is a different story. Defenses collapse on them and offenses rely on them for points. They are expected to grab rebounds at both ends of the court. Last week Kwayde Miller did all of the above for the Bulldog basketball team in the X-Treme Glass Tournament at Sweetwater High School. Miller averaged over 10 points a game as he scored in double figures three times and led the Dawgs in rebounding in the tourney. He finished the tournament with a double-double against Victor Valley in a come from behind Bulldog victory. For his efforts Kwayde Miller is the Ramona Sentinel Athlete of the Week. “I am just getting into basketball shape,” said

Ramona Sentinel Athlete of the Week, Kwayde Miller, is flanked by Chris Surham and Matt Lawler as the three set up to play defense.

Miller. “In football it is short bursts of maximum physical effort, which never last 10 seconds, and then you get a 30-second break. In basketball there is constant action and you only get a break when there is a free throw or you are taken out

of the game.” Miller thinks that basketball will help him as he prepares to enter San Diego State University on a football scholarship next fall. “Basketball will help my footwork and endurance,” he said. And the former tight end will get his hands on the ball on a regular basis. Miller is also getting adjusted to Coach David Reichner. “He has a lot of experience and knowledge and he communicates well,” said Miller. “He is a good teacher and a good coach.”

Miller, Blankenbaker, Richardson on All Division All CIF teams

By BILL TAMBURRINO Three Bulldogs were named to the All Division All CIF teams for the fall sports season. The teams were chosen by a panel of media members under the auspices of the San Diego Hall of Champions. The Ramona Sentinel does not have a vote on the panel. However, the North County Times and John Kentera of XX 1090 are on the panel and have always been very fair to Ramona athletes. In football Kwayde Miller was selected to the first team as an offensive lineman. Miller is one of the

most recruited student/athletes ever at Ramona High. He was recruited by Big 10 schools including Michigan and Wisconsin, Oregon of the Pac 12 and several powers. Miller took his official visit to SDSU and has made a verbal commitment to play for the Aztecs. He was recruited by former RHS Bulldog coach Kevin McGarry, who is now the linebacker coach at SDSU. Dylan Blankenbaker and Alec Richardson were selected to the first team on the boys cross country team. Blankenbaker and Richardson helped pace Ramona to a berth in the

state meet where the Bulldogs finished as the top team from San Diego. Both plan on running in college next season. Blankenbaker is being recruited by Oklahoma, Portland State and several cross country powers. Richardson, an Eagle Scout and the CO of the RHS NJROTC Unit, received an ROTC scholarship to Texas A&M and is awaiting notification from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Another Ramona student/ athlete has received good news. Lady Bulldog golfer Kia Turner has been accepted to Harvard University.

Sports review: Water polo, volleyball, swim, soccer, track, cross country

High School. The boys finished with a dual meet record of 3-5, including 2-3 in league competition. Although Ramona finished last at the league meet (divers are not scored in dual meets if only one team has a diver, but league and CIF meet scores include diving results), Glaudini won the individual medley league championship. The Bulldogs were seventh among Division II teams at the CIF meet while setting six school records. Girls Swim Ramona’s girls swim team lost its March 3 opener to Grossmont, but the Bulldogs won the March 5 Cougar Relays competition while setting meet records in two events. On April 13 Gina Lucas set a school record in the 100yard backstroke. At the April 30 Ironman Relays, the Bulldogs won the Two Maiden class while Lucas and Madi Lanz set a meet record in the 2x50 butterfly. Lucas took second in the individual medley at the league meet while setting a school record with a time of 2:10.60. The girls placed 10th among the Division II squads at the CIF meet, and Lucas was second in the individual medley and third in the breaststroke. Boys Volleyball Ramona’s boys volleyball team began its 2011 season March 9 by sweeping Orange Glen. On March 29 the Bulldogs defeated 2010 CIF Division III finalist La Jolla, and the following day Ramona defeated Poway for what is believed to be the first time ever. That week Ramona also played in the La Jolla Tournament and reached the Bronze Division semifinals. The Bulldogs won their Scripps Ranch Tournament pool while reaching the bracket quarterfinals. The boys volleyball team produced a 3-7 Palomar League record, allowing for a 16-14 regular-season record and the second seed in the CIF Division III playoffs, although the Bulldogs still shared last place in the league standings. A first-round bye was

followed by a three-game home win over Montgomery, but La Jolla avenged its earlier loss to Ramona with a five-game win in the CIF semifinal. The Bulldogs ended the season 17-15. Garrett Adelman was named to the Palomar League second team, and when the honors were for alldivision rather than allleague Adelman and Billy White were named to the Division III first team while three Bulldogs earned second-team designation. Track and Field Allison Stang took over as Ramona’s girls track and field head coach, making her head coaching debut March 17 with a non-league dual meet loss to Fallbrook. The Bulldog girls lost all seven dual meets, including the five league matchups. Ramona’s boys track and field team opened its season with a 2-point win over Fallbrook. The March 17 meet concluded with the triple jump, and Ramona’s Trevor Dotson not only captured the first-place points but set a school record with a distance of 44’9”. On April 30 Nathan Cherek won the freshman boys 100-meter dash at the Dick Wilkins Frosh-Soph Invitational meet. Dotson broke his school triple jump record twice during the season, including a

45’4” performance which won the league meet and a 46’2” figure at the CIF preliminaries. The league meet also saw Preston Johnson throw the shot put 49 feet 5-1/2 inches to win the Palomar League individual championship. Ramona’s boys were 3-4 in dual meets for the season, including 1-4 against Palomar League competition. The Bulldogs placed second at the CIF meet, falling 2 points short of University City’s total, which won the Division II championship for the Centurions. Zach Kovach ran the 200-meter dash in 21.79 seconds at the CIF finals to set a school record. Dylan Blankenbaker’s time of 4:15.84 in the 800-meter run didn’t set a school record but placed third among runners from all divisions and earned Blankenbaker a lane at the state meet, where his time of 4:15.33 in the preliminaries placed 19th among the 32 runners. CIF Life Pass Ramona resident Bill McLaughlin retired as the assistant CIF commissioner at the end of June, and on June 7 the CIF Board of Managers presented McLaughlin with a CIF life pass. Girls Cross Country Kim Toth began her career as Ramona’s girls cross

country coach when the Bulldogs opened the season Sept. 3 at the Vaquero Stampede, taking second as a team in the freshmansophomore team race, fifth in the junior-senior race. Ramona’s girls were seventh among the 17 smallschool teams at the Oct. 21 Jaguar Invite. The girls were winless in dual meets and last at the league meet, but they placed 13th among the 20 Division II teams at the CIF meet. Boys Cross Country The boys cross country team began the season Sept. 3 by taking first in the junior-senior division of the Vaquero Stampede and second in the freshman-sophomore division. The top four junior-senior finishers were Ramona boys with Blankenbaker winning the race. Ramona’s varsity didn’t compete at the Showdown at Sundown meet, but the junior varsity Bulldogs won that meet as a team while Josh Spieker and Tristan Stidham were the first two individual finishers. As a team the Bulldogs took first in both the junior race and the senior race in the Mt. Carmel/Movin’ Shoes Cross-Country Invite while Blankenbaker won the senior race. Ramona competed in the premier division of the Nike PreNationals meet Sept. 24 in Portland, Ore., and took

third place while Blankenbaker finished second not only in the premier race but for all runners. A 1-4 record in dual meets kept Ramona from winning the league championship, although the Bulldogs won the league meet and Blankenbaker was the individual champion. Ramona finished second as a team in the CIF Division II section race and Blankenbaker was the second finisher. Ramona qualified for the state meet as a team and finished third in the Nov. 26 Fresno race with Blankenbaker taking second. Blankenbaker closed out his high school cross country career Dec. 3 by placing 14th in the Nike Nationals in Portland. Girls volleyball Ramona’s girls volleyball team won its season opener Sept. 13 against San Marcos and then reached the finals of the Palm Desert Tournament before losing to Desert Christian while placing three players on the all-tournament team. Ramona reached the consolation finals of the Scripps Ranch tournament and had two bracket alltournament selections. The Bulldogs won their pool at the Southern California Invitational tournament. A first-round loss to West Hills in the CIF Division II playoffs ended

From page 23

Ramona’s season with a 10-19 record, including an 0-10 Palomar League mark. Mikayla Derochie earned second-team Palomar League honors while two other Bulldogs were honorable mention recipients. Novice Volleyball Ramona’s novice volleyball team won the Silver Division of the Sept. 24 Titan Invitational tournament, won its pool at the Oct. 8 Santa Fe Christian Tournament, and reached the semifinals of Ramona’s Oct. 15 tournament. The Bulldogs’ junior varsity squad spent Oct. 8 at the RB Roundup tournament and reached the semifinals, and the JV team played into the Silver Division semifinals of Ramona’s Oct. 22 tournament. Boys Water Polo Williams’ boys water polo team began the 2011 season 4-2 at the Sept. 8-10 Poway Invitational tournament. The Bulldogs were 3-2 at the Oct. 14-15 Vellencamp Tournament. Ramona lost all 10 Palomar League games, and a first-round playoff loss to La Costa Canyon gave the Bulldogs a final record of 9-21. Two Bulldogs received third-team all-league honors while two others were awarded honorable mention distinction.

the game was Ramona’s defense made 13 steals. Ramona lost to Steele Canyon 64-48. One bad quarter hurt the Bulldogs badly. The Cougars outscored the Dawgs 20-9 in the second quarter to take a 38-22 lead into the locker room. The two teams played evenly in the second half. Ramona’s defense held the Cougars to five field goals in the second half. Miller led the offense with 13 points and he grabbed eight boards. Stevens also scored in double digits for the Dawgs with 12 points. In addition, White (4), Heiar (2), Schirer (5), Durham (8) and Lawler (4) scored for the Dawgs. Ramona finished the tournament with victory. The Dawgs had to come from behind after leading for most of the game to beat Victor

In the third quarter Ramona’s defense held the Jack Rabbits to 5 points and led 34-24 going into the final eight minutes. Victor Valley rallied to take the lead, but according to Coach Reichner “a couple of good bounces of the ball got the Bulldogs a victory.” The Dawgs were outscored 23-17 in the final period but rallied to win when it counted. Jonathan Schirer led all scorers with 16 points and played well on defense. Miller recorded a double-double as the 6-foot-8 center scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. White (6), Stevens (5), Heiar (1), Durham (4), Lawler (2) and Rowe (4) also scored in the victory.

OBITUARIES

Nelson Edward MacWilliams 1957 – 2011

Mac MacWilliams passed away on Tuesday, December 20, 2011. He was born in Washington, DC, in 1957 to Bertha and William MacWilliams Sr. He grew up as a resident of Chesapeake Beach, MD, and graduated from Calverton High School, Huntington, MD. He attended Salisbury State University and then joined the U.S. Navy in 1977. His duty stations in the Navy included Defense Intelligence Agency Washington, DC; Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron 206, Naval Air Facility Washington, DC; USS Constant, San Diego, CA; Naval Recruiting District, San Diego; Fighter Squadron 111, Miramar Naval Air Station, San Diego; Helicopter Squadron 10,

North Island Naval Air Station, Coronado, CA; and Helicopter Tactical Wing Pacific, San Diego. He retired in 1999 as a Navy Chief after 22 years with the Navy. While stationed at Navy Recruiting District San Diego, Nelson married Susan Price. On returning to civilian life, he helped startup the San Diego Defense and Space Consortium, and then performed security consulting. He again switched gears and served his community for several years with the Ramona Chamber of Commerce. In 2007, U.S. Congressman Duncan Hunter needed full-time staff assistance to help fire victims and called upon Nelson. He followed that assignment as the “go-to guy” in helping small businesses throughout San Diego by cutting bureaucratic red tape. He continued with Congressman Duncan D. Hunter and was responsible for assisting active and retired military personnel. He often took on the Secretary of Defense in battles for local Veterans. “He was a proud Veteran who served in the Navy and continued serving the people on Veterans and military issues,” Hunter said. “He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.” He was a member of the

Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Ramona, CA, and the Fleet Reserve Association. He enjoyed sports and was an avid Chargers and Padres fan. He was an accomplished drummer and played with several bands. He loved listening to music, eating blue crabs from Maryland, and spending time with family and friends. Mac is survived by his wife, Susan; mother, Bertha MacWilliams; brothers, William MacWilliams Jr., Charles MacWilliams and Richard MacWilliams; sons, Christopher MacWilliams and Sean MacWilliams; daughters, Nicole Marks and Angela Cox; grandsons, Luke and Dean Marks; granddaughters, Madison MacWilliams and Olivia Cox; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, William MacWilliams Sr., and sister, Virginia Mae Lusby. A celebration of his life will be held Wednesday, December 28, 2011, at 3:00PM at Bonham Bros. & Stewart Mortuary, Ramona, CA. Donations in his memory may be made to the VFW Ramona Post.

Fourth of July weekend is also known as Cowboy Christmas in rodeo, since cowboys can compete in several rodeos and have multiple chances to collect payouts. This year’s Cowboy Christmas saw Deskovick collect $2,799 from the Prescott and Folsom rodeos and Malone leave Oakley City, Utah, with $1,035 in earnings. Saenz won the bull riding average at the Aug. 13-14 Ventura County Fair Rodeo with a score of 150 points on two head and also won the second go-round by scoring 77 points while placing second in the first go-round. He earned $452 apiece for his first-place positions and $339 for his second-place go-round. Battaglia also won an August rodeo, working with Lockett to capture the Aug. 19-20 Tehachapi Mountain PRCA Rodeo with a time of 5.3 seconds which gave each cowboy $1,343. The PRCA created the All American ProRodeo Series to give part-time cowboys such as Deskovick the opportunity for a relatively high-paying finals and to boost participation at the smaller rodeos which aren’t as prestigious as the higherpaying PRCA rodeos but which are crucial to the PRCA’s developmental needs. The 30 cowboys with the top All American ProRodeo Series earnings in each event qualify for the series finals in Waco, Texas. The 2011 goals of Deskovick, who is 38, included qualifying for the All American finals — which also requires participation in at least 30 series rodeos. Deskovick embarked on a five-town trip over the Labor Day period that included fourth place and $176 at the Campbell County Rodeo in Herried, S.D., followed by the Sept. 2-4 Oregon Trail Rodeo in Hastings, Neb. Deskovick’s time of 3.6 seconds won the second goround and $1,064 while his two-head time of 9.1 seconds won the average and another $1,064. He returned home via Evanston, Wyo., where he took fourth place and $612 at the Evanston Cowboy Days rodeo to bring his All American ProRodeo Series earnings to $13,051. That qualified Deskovick for the series finals the fol-

lowing month, but first he traveled to San Bernardino for the Sept. 23-25 Sheriff’s PRCA Rodeo. His time of 3.8 seconds split first and second place and gave him $1,636. Battaglia and Lockett had a winning team roping time of 4.4 seconds to earn $2,404 apiece. That weekend also included the final local rodeo of the year; Battaglia and Lockett took fifth and $938 at the Poway Rodeo while Deskovick took a 10-second penalty for a broken barrier but still split sixth and seventh and received $122. On Oct. 2, 1981, Tibbs and fellow Ramona resident Wag Blesing went dancing. Blesing, who won the 1947 world bull riding championship, was suffering from a collapsed lung after he returned home and died the next day. The 30th anniversary of that outing was a happier one for Ramona’s rodeo community: A time of 6.0 seconds that day gave Battaglia and Lockett first place and $1,102 apiece in the Santa Cruz Deputy Sheriff’s Charity Rodeo in Watsonville while Elston started the 2012 rodeo season that weekend with a fourth/fifth split and $107 at the Kern County Fair Rodeo in Bakersfield. The following weekend Elston won the All-Around at the Oct. 8-9 Industry Hills Charity Pro Rodeo. His tiedown roping time of 8.4 seconds gave him first place and $1,846, not including a $1,000 bonus for winning the All-Around. Battaglia split fifth and sixth in that event to earn $446, and Deskovick’s fifth-place steer wrestling time gave him $504. Deskovick then flew to Waco for the All American ProRodeo Series finals. He earned third and fourth in his two group runs, along with $1,854, to advance to the progressive rounds. In the quarterfinals Deskovick’s time of 4.4 seconds placed second and earned him another $1,854, and a three-way split of fourth through sixth in the semifinals brought another $250. The top four in the semifinals advanced to the finals, and the tiebreaking rule gave the berth to the cowboy who did best in the previous round. Deskovick thus competed in the finals. That tiebreaking rule

would work against Deskovick in the Oct. 15 finals, as he and Riley Duvall each posted times of 3.9 seconds. Although Duvall won the official championship and the saddle due to the tiebreaker, the purse was split evenly and was worth $6,250 to both Duvall and Deskovick to give the Ramona cowboy a total of $10,208 in earnings. Deskovick was disappointed that there was no tiebreaking run but was aware of the rules in advance. He was more disappointed that he had to miss the 2011 California Circuit finals due to the schedule conflict between the All American Pro Rodeo Series finals and the circuit finals, although that was due to the circuit finals move to Lancaster and the fact that Oct. 14-16 was the only weekend the Lancaster grounds were available for circuit use. Elston split third and fourth in the first Tie-Down Roping go-round at the circuit finals before a time of 7.9 seconds gave him the win and $692 in the third go-round. The circuit finals were the first for Elston. Battaglia and Lockett had a time of 5.0 seconds on their second run to win the second team roping go-round and $692 apiece. An 80-point ride in the second bull riding goround gave Saenz second place and $519. If one of the top 12 cowboys is injured, does not compete in the required minimum number of circuit rodeos, or otherwise does not compete in the circuit finals, the cowboy with the next highest earnings is invited. Saenz, who benefited from that rule, finished 13th in the final bull riding standings with his $3,467 of 2011 earnings. The circuit finals earnings are included in the final standings. Deskovick’s $5,471 placed 11th among steer wrestlers. Battaglia’s $6,714 gave him sixth among team roping headers. Malone’s $5,035 of tie-down roping earnings placed him ninth while Elston was 12th in that event after finishing the season with $3,800 in circuit earnings. Battaglia was 19th among tie-down ropers with $1,816 but tenth in the All-Around with $8,530 while Malone’s $5,529 placed 14th in the All-Around and Elston was 17th at $4,294.

Boys close tournament with 1-goal losses By JOE NAIMAN

eguito Academy in the semifinal match gave the Bulldogs a 4-2-1 record for the season. “We’re there,” said Coach Michael Jordan. “We’re competing with some of these good teams. But we just need to take the next step and finish things off.”

Ramona High School’s boys soccer team ended the Grossmont Tournament with a pair of onegoal losses on Saturday. The 2-1 loss to University City in the final pool play game and the 3-2 overtime loss to San Di-

Ramona had a 1-0-1 pool play record prior to the match against University City to determine the pool championship. The Centurions scored the game’s first two goals with the second score occurring on a penalty kick. All three of the game’s goals were scored in the

first half. Ramona halved its deficit when Jose Valencia’s direct kick went into the net. “We had our opportunities,” Jordan said. “We just couldn’t get it done.” Although Ramona finished second in pool play, that position gave the Bulldogs a semifinal

berth against the other pool’s winner. San Dieguito Academy scored the game’s first goal. Ramona earned the equalizer when Ricky Rodriguez scored on a cross from Andy Garcia, and the game was a 1-1 tie at halftime. Garcia scored on a second-half penalty kick to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead, but when Ramona’s defense was unable to
