Fire Trucks Now Equipped with Mobile Data Computers By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal
R
amona Fire Department’s trucks and ambulances are now equipped with Mobile Data Computers, allowing personnel to access the most direct routes to a destination and to check on other units that are en route or in the area of the incidents. The six computers were purchased with a grant from the San Diego Fire Foundation at a cost of $25,000. The computers “give responding crews up-to-date information right on the computer,” Battalion Chief Steven Foster said. The computers — or MDCs, as they are known — also generate information on the location of fire hydrants in the area, aerial views and any pre-planning that may have been done. If a previous call has been made to the same location, information is available on that call and the medication
history for that address. “It gets the information to the firefighters even if they’re not in the station,” Chief Foster said. ”MDC will help firefighters get vital information from our 911 Emergency Command Center directly to them without the use of radios. The equipment will improve our emergency response times and increase the chances of a patient’s survival during an emergency.” A presentation of the new equipment was made Sept. 8 to Ramona Municipal Water District Board of Directors. Following the meeting, the directors had an opportunity for a closer look at the MDC in one of the fire engines and in Foster’s command and control vehicle. In other business to come before the board, Director Jim Hickle suggested that he work with the general manager over the next month to look at cost reductions for the district.

Hickle serves as treasurer of the board. “I think it would be good for us and the community to look at (cost reductions),” Hickle said. A report will be made back to the board at its next meeting. General Manager David Barnum updated the directors on the recent lawsuit between San Diego County Water Authority and Metropolitan Water District. A San Francisco judge ruled that MWD must pay SDCWA $188 million plus interest for “illegal water rates MWD

“While it is good news, it’s something that most likely will take additional time to evolve,” Barnum said. The next regularly scheduled RMWD board meeting will begin at 2 p.m. on Oct. 13 at Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Ln. n

Celebrate Our Town at Taste of Ramona and September Nite By Annette Williams ~ the journal
T
he first-ever Taste of Ramona and September Nite are two unique parts of one exciting event, to be presented Sept. 26 by Ramona Chamber of Commerce. “I think it’s going to be an exciting new event!” said chairperson Charlotte Jensen. Taste of Ramona promises a “fabulous culinary experience” that is sure to whet appetites. Twenty different dining establishments will show off their culinary skills, offering select samples between 1 and 5 p.m. Participating restaurants are Amerient Restaurant, BaskinRobbins, Boll Weevil, D’Carlos, Dunkin’ Donuts, El Michoacan, Kountry Kitchen, La Cocina, Lemongrass Thai Food, Mamma Rosa Italian Restaurant, Packards Coffee Shop, Quiznos, Rubio’s Coastal Grill, Salsa Mexican Food, Starbucks Coffee Company, Thai Time Ramona, The London Bakery, The Oaks Grille, The Yogurt Barn and Up the Hill Grill. Jensen says that ticketholders may visit each establishment at their own pace and in any order, and notes that many of the locations are within walking distance of one another and will be identified by balloon bouquets. As the tasting event begins to wind down, September Nite excitement will gear up at 5 p.m. September Nite is billed as “a town party to celebrate Ramona.” The event is centrally located in downtown Ramona at 325 Sixth St., the former post office building at the corner of D Street, future home of Ramona Family Naturals, venue host. Guests are invited to dance under the stars and enjoy live music from Wild Nite and The Amalgamated. In addition, there will be food from Big Dev’s “DownHome” Barbeque and Ramona Family Naturals, wine by the September 24, 2015

“Mom put together most of the recipes and did all the baking in the beginning, while I ran the restaurant,” says Steiner. “And over the years, we have prided ourselves on not using frozen or packaged foods. Everything is fresh and made to order, and we hire all local people to work in the café.” The café quickly developed a local reputation for quality food and outstanding customer service, but a visit in 2007
S
onja Steiner has been pleasing the palates of residents and visitors alike at Ramona Café and Bake Shop since 1987. Most likely everyone in Ramona has eaten at this charming little eatery, where you can still enjoy quality homemade food for a reasonable price. Steiner’s interest in the restaurant business began at an early age. “I remember as a youngster visiting all of the hotels and restaurants in the area with my dad,” she recalls. “Our family owned the Swiss Mountain View Egg Farm on Steffy Lane in Ramona for many years, and all of these hotels and restaurants needed eggs, so I got a firsthand look at all of these restaurants, cafes and diners. That experience is probably what stirred my interest.” Steiner and her mother, Maria, took over Ramona Café at 632 Main St. in early 1987, and gradually made it into the local icon that Sonja Steiner has owned Ramona Café and Bake Shop since it is today. 1987.

Sonja Steiner in 2007, with Guy Fieri of the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.” File Photo by Carol Kinney
by American restaurateur and television personality Guy Fieri of the Food Network put Ramona Café on the national map when it was featured on Fieri’s series “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.” Highlighted on the show was Steiner’s homemade chicken Cordon Bleu topped with homemade hollandaise sauce, which is still a mainstay on the menu. The entire menu is chock full of tasty, home-cooked choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But perhaps nothing showcases the café’s reputation more than Steiner’s giant-sized, award-winning cinnamon rolls — half-pound circles of hot, sweet pastry veined with cinnamon sugar and accompanied by two servings of butter. Diners who might typically
save room for dessert might need a reality check — or a very big doggie bag. This small-town café with the big-time reputation may have a few more ideas in the works. “We are considering a dessert truck for special events in the future,” she says. “It’s still about a year away, but we think it would be a terrific way to expand our bakery line.” Cinnamon rolls at the Main Street Parade, Fourth of July Celebration, Christmas Tree Lighting, softball games, soccer games, street fairs and other special events — these old-fashioned treats would be good for any occasion. Especially when they are as big as footballs.
NICE HOME NESTLED ON CORNER LOT
Mature trees, yard that feels like a private park in the woods. Large patio for entertaining, plus patio under the trees for barbecues. RV parking on the side has double gate. 3 bedroom, vaulted wood ceilings, large dining area. Easy care, newer flooring in living room. $410,900

New Electric Rate Structure for SDG&E
tarting this month, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has begun to transition customers to a new electric rate structure, which was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission in July. As a result of this decision, SDG&E customers will begin to see gradual changes to their electric bill over the next five years. A new three-tier electric rate structure replaces the previous four-tier structure. In the spring of next year, the changes will continue when the structure will be further reduced to two tiers. Caroline Winn, chief energy delivery officer at SDG&E, says
it is the first step in providing more fairness and transparency in utility bills for all customers. “We want people to understand the changes to how they are billed and also how they can manage their energy costs.” Most online residential “My Account” customers will receive a video bill by the end of October that will help them understand the changes introduced by rate reform. Customers may also visit http:// sdge.com/ratereform to learn about the changes to come. “September is traditionally a hot month, which can mean higher bills, because many customers need to use more electricity to stay cool,” Winn
said. “By implementing rate reform now, more of our customers will benefit from lower energy costs as they reach the higher tiers.” SDG&E says that there are a number of ways that customers can manage their energy costs, including “time of use plans” that may help them reduce electricity use during peak hours; signing up for energy bill spending alerts; taking an online home energy survey to find the best ways to save; and purchasing energy-saving products. Visit sdge.com/myaccount to sign up. n

Financial Focus Avoid Emotional Investment Decisions

hat’s the biggest obstacle to your ability to invest successfully? Is it the ups and downs of the financial markets? Political events? The fact that you weren’t born rich? Actually, the chief hurdle you face is something over which you have control: your own emotions. Your emotions can lead to a variety of ill-advised investment behaviors, such as these: • Cutting losses — Declines in the financial markets can lead some investors to try to “cut their
losses” by selling investments whose price has declined. Yet, when prices have dropped, it may actually be a good time to buy investments, not sell them, especially when the investments are still fundamentally sound. • Chasing performance — In the investment world, the flip side of “fear” is “greed.” Just as some investors are propelled by fear of loss, others are motivated by quick, big gains. They may pursue “hot” investments, only to be disappointed when the sizzle

quickly fizzles. Instead of trying to “score” that one big winner, you may be better off spreading your investment dollars among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs) and so on. While diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it may help reduce the impact of market volatility on your portfolio. • Focusing on the short term — When the market is down, you might get somewhat upset when you view your monthly investment statements. But any individual statement is just a snapshot in time; if you were to chart your investment results over a period of 10, 15 or 20 years, you’d see the true picture of how your portfolio is doing — and, in all likelihood, that picture would look better than a statement or two you received during a down market. In any case, don’t overreact to short-term downturns by making hasty “buy” or “sell” decisions. Instead, stick with
a long-term strategy that’s appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. • Heading to the investment “sidelines” — Some people get so frustrated over market volatility that they throw up their hands and head to the investment “sidelines” until “things calm down.” And it’s certainly true that, when owning stocks, there are no guarantees; you do risk losing some, or all, of your investment. But if you jump in and out of the market to “escape” volatility, you may take on an even bigger risk — the risk of losing some of the growth you’ll need to reach your goals. Consider this: If you had invested $10,000 in a package of stocks mimicking the S&P 500 in December 1979, your investment would have grown to more than $426,000 by December 2013. But if you had missed just the 10 best days of the market during that time, your $10,000 would only have grown to less than $206,000 — a difference of about $220,000,
according to Ned Davis Research, a leading investment research organization. The bottom line? Staying invested over the long term can pay off. (Keep in mind, though, that the S&P 500 is an unmanaged index and isn’t meant to depict an actual investment. Also, as you’ve no doubt heard, past performance is not a guarantee of future results.) Our emotions are useful in guiding us through many aspects of our lives, but when you invest, you’re better off using your head — and not your heart. n Patrick Meskell is a financial advisor for Edward Jones.

September is ‘Heroes Month’ California Senator Joel Anderson was instrumental in passing a bill last year that made September “California Heroes Month.” The idea behind the bill, Senate Concurrent Resolution 97, Senator Joel Anderson came from a constituent who felt that everyday heroes should receive appreciation. The bill states, “California Heroes Month is a magnificent opportunity for the residents of California to educate the public on the importance of selflessly giving and recognizing those local conventional, nonconventional, and unsung heroes within each community.” It is dedicated to honoring those who help others. “I believe one of the most important parts of my job is lifting up examples of outstanding community service by shining a bright light on the great people working hard to serve their fellow citizens,” Senator Anderson said. “These heroes and their good deeds inspire and encourage others to step up to help their neighbors in need.” Nominations for recognition may be submitted online at http://anderson.cssrc.us, select “Nominate Your California Hero.” Deadline is Sept. 30. Senator Anderson’s district representative Collin Hoyos may be reached at collin. hoyos@sen.ca.gov or call 619-596-3136. n September 24, 2015

Love for Cars Stemmed from Growing up in Kansas By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal
J
erry Keller’s love and knowledge of vintage vehicles is amazing. It all started when he was growing up in Great Bend, Kan. “The reason I’m into cars is a tribute to my parents,” Keller said. “They owned Keller Motors in Kansas. That’s how I got into all the car stuff. I was literally just born into it.”
He currently owns nine vintage vehicles. His vehicle of choice is a Dodge. Any Dodge. All but one of the nine cars bear the Dodge logo. The lone vehicle is a 1947 Plymouth that originally belonged to his wife’s family. “They bought it in 1950 off a ranch in Idaho,” Kristy Keller said of her parents’ vehicle. “I got my driver’s license in it when I was 16.” The pride and joy in Jerry Keller’s

collection is a 1964 Dodge Pro Street. Its purple color, popular back in the 1970s, is called “Plum Crazy.” The chrome fuel injectors go directly to the intake manifold motor. Years ago, Keller noticed an article in a magazine that featured a drawing of the car. He made a blowup of the drawing and carried it with him for five years before his wife finally found
the one he wanted on a used car lot in South Bay. “It took quite a while to find the parts,” Jerry said. “We didn’t start on it for a few years. We had it painted brown so it wouldn’t rust.” About eight years ago, Keller rebuilt the car and “put it back on the street.” Finding parts was a challenge in itself. “Some parts are available from Dodge

dealers, but it’s mostly the body parts that are rare,” he said. “They’re very hard to find.” Keller is one of the founders of Ramona American Graffiti Cruise that started here in June. He alternates his cars when deciding which one to drive in the popular Thursday night event, cruising up and down Main Street. Keller also owns Keller Racing. His first race car was a 1972 Dodge Challenger. “This is the car Kristy learned to drag race in,” he said. “I’ve raced everything
up and down the West Coast.” They go to out-of-town drag races about twice a year. Other cars in Keller’s collection include a 1963 Dodge Polara 500 racecar and a 1962 Dodge 330. The first, he said, was the most expensive built at that time, and the other was the cheapest. There are still cars out there that Keller would like to own. “A Dodge Viper 2006 or a ‘35 Dodge pickup,” he mused. “We’ve been looking.” n
Kiwanis Club of Ramona installed Paul Tarr, right, as its new president for 2015-16. He is congratulated during an installation dinner held Sept. 12 by outgoing President Jessica Hickman, who presents him with the president’s pin. Tarr said his objective for the coming year is Photo by Tom Taylor to increase the number of members by 15.
Summer of Service Continued from page 11 “When it came time to say goodbye, the village hosted a feast for us, serving fish, bananas, chicken and beef. That’s when we handed out our presents of candy and jerky.” Touting it as an experience that had a lasting impression, he shared that his plans after graduation include attending a two-year church mission and then joining the military. He hopes to be a
Special Warfare Combat Crewman and says it would be fun to travel the world, helping others. He encouraged his peers to get involved, saying, “Live a little. Go out and see the world. Open your eyes to more experiences, and when life presents the opportunity — just go for it!” n

Pastor’s Corner By Rev. Andy Schreiber
The Biblical View of the Bible
T
Part V, Sufficiency
his is the fifth installment in a series on the biblical view of the Bible. In this installment, I would like to briefly examine what may be the most neglected attribute of Scripture in the life of evangelical Christians and churches today — the sufficiency of Scripture. To say that the Bible is sufficient is simply to say that it is enough for what we need. We do not need something else, or something extra. When it comes to life and godliness, we need no substitute or supplement to the Word of God. In 2 Tim. 3:16-17, the Apostle Paul writes, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (ESV) Paul there tells us that all Scripture is “profitable” (or useful) for such things as teaching, reproof, correction and training. Have you ever found yourself being reproved or corrected by Scripture? If so, that’s a good thing — it means that God’s Word is doing its job in your life! But notice that Paul also tells us that the purpose of Scripture in teaching, reproving, correcting and training is so the man of God may be “complete” and

Spectacular Production Graces Moonlight Stage
irst impression is a bright yellow field of daffodils filling the stage at Vista’s Moonlight Stage Productions amphitheater. Second impression is the title,“Big Fish,” sprawled across the daffodils. Silly title. But the story line and the spectacular production are far from silly. Based on the screenplay by John August and the novel by Daniel Wallace, “Big Fish” is the tale of a man’s relationship with his son, going from the time the boy was 5 until his wedding day and beyond. The father, Ed Bloom, tells wild and exciting tales, always making himself the hero. As the boy, Will, grows up, he’s not sure what to believe as truth and what is fancy from his father’s tall tales. As each tale unfolds on the stage, magnificent background scenes and stagecraft evolve, complete with dancing witches, a swimming mermaid, circus performers and a giant living in the woods. Will sets out to uncover the truth and in so doing, discovers the one tale never told in which his father truly was a hero. Josh Adamson plays Ed, and Patrick Cummings is the adult Will. Bets Malone plays wife and mother, Sandra Bloom. Elliott Weaver does an incredible job

as young Will. The singing voices of Adamson and Cummings burst throughout the amphitheater. The entire cast goes above and beyond all expectations in this production, the final one of Moonlight’s 35th annual summer season. “Big Fish” is directed by Steve Glaudini, with choreography by Karl Warden. Elan McMahan is musical director. Sound design by Chris Luessmann and lighting design by Jean-Yves Tessier are the essence of the production. Costumes designed by William Ivey Long are coordinated by Carlotta Malone, Roslyn Lehman and Renetta Lloyd. A well-deserved note of appreciation goes to projection designer John Infante. Performances start at 7:30 p.m. and continue through Sept. 26. Call 760-724-2110 or visit www.moonlightstage.com.n

Hilarious Romp Keeps Audience Laughing Ken Ludwig’s wacky “Fox on the Fairway” is not a disappointment to audiences at North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. The fast-paced comedy is hilarious. The show is set in present day at the Quail Valley Country Club, where a golf tournament is about to begin, pitting the club’s president against his foe from a rival country club. A wager has been made between the two men that is sure to destroy at least one of them when the final score is tallied. The play calls for an energetic cast, and that’s exactly what director Matthew Wiener has found in the six-member ensemble. Kevin Bailey plays the manager, and Brian Salmon is his nemesis. The new golfer in the picture is played by Kyle Sorrell. His lovely waitress
fiancé is played by Ashley Stults. The production runs The club’s sexy vice president through Oct. 11. Call is played by Jacquelyn Ritz, 858-481-1055 or visit while Roxane Carrasco plays www.northcoastrep.org. n the president’s jealous wife. One thing leads to another, as the events unfold, keeping Back row from left are Jacquelyn the audience in stitches as the Ritz and Kevin Bailey, and front actors frolic and romp across row, Kyle Sorrell, Ashley Stults, the stage. Never a dull moment Roxane Carrasco and Brian Salmon. Photo courtesy of aptly describes it all. North Coast Repertory Theatre
Mystery Abounds at Scripps Ranch Theatre “Sleuth” is one of the greatest mysteries to hit the local stages. And it takes a great team to pull it off. That’s exactly what’s happening at Scripps Ranch Theatre. Director Charles Peters has assembled a duo of acting phenomena to portray the two main characters. Tim West takes on the persona of writer Andrew Wycke, while Tom Steward tackles the Milo Tindle role, the man who wants to marry Andrew’s wife. Andrew tricks Milo into coming to his estate so they can discuss the matter. However, that’s not exactly what Andrew has in mind. Andrew deems the visit to be a success until Milo returns with a few tricks of his own. “Sleuth” was written by Anthony Shaffer. Production manager is Laura Scott Ferro. The set designed by Mike McCullock is outstanding. Sound design by Ted Leib and lighting design by Mitchell Simkovsky enhance the entire effect. Performances continue through Oct. 11 at the Legler Benbough Theatre, on campus at Alliant International University. Call 858-578-7728 or visit www.scrippsranchtheatre.org. n September 24, 2015

The Boys of Summer Are Just Kids
By Johnny McDonald ~ the journal
It’s a topsy-turvy world. Thanks to national television, the country has been caught up with 13and 14-year-olds battling in the Little League World Series (LLWS). And they upstaged their bigger brothers. Nielsen TV ratings for the games surpassed those of Major League Baseball, a golf tournament, the NBA and college basketball. Youth will be served. The Las Vegas-Philadelphia game had five million viewers. It was the largest
LLWS audience in ESPN history, and it topped any baseball game on the network since the Yankees and Red Sox in 2007. Part of the mix were the boys from Sweetwater Valley, who drew a huge San Diego County response as the third best in the lengthy tourney. Little League officials estimated the total attendance this year for 32 games was 412,653, compared with 404,736 in 2013. The announced attendance at Sunday’s championship game was 28,671.

Well, it’s less than five months before spring training, not only for the Major Leagues, but also for the Little League and Ramona PONY Baseball, with new sets of teams looking for the brass ring. It’s sometimes a mixed bag as far as parent interest is concerned. Some drop off their kids and await a cell phone call to pick them up later. Others, mostly moms, sit for hours in the stands. During inconsistent winter weather, moms and a scattering of grandparents will sit through the early stages of their youngsters’ instruction, with bobbled grounders, dropped fly balls, called third strikes and pitchers trying to find home plate. With eight grandkids, I’ve seen it all. Game time is when the bench coach becomes the key guy. It’s up to him to keep the kids focused and to control wavering interest. The pressures of playing before those huge crowds is a lesson for the future — maybe not as a player, but in other areas of life. Major League records indicate that 54 players have participated in Little League, and 15 went on to earn election into pro baseball’s Hall of Fame. Maybe there’s a place for Pop Warner and soccer leagues to take center stage. High school sports have received strong support from newspapers and
at least one television station. And, state playoffs have gained increased attention. Television has caught hold, and with increased sponsor interest, it probably won’t let go. Attention given to youth sports can be a good thing if it’s not abused. Hopefully, these young players become better men because of this celebrity.
San Diego’s Up There With the fall sports season here and the North American sports industry pulling in more than $60 billion annually, the personal finance website WalletHub conducted an in-depth analysis of 2015’s best and worst cities for sports fans. With the benefit of Chargers and Padres fans, San Diego is among the favored one-third of 341 cities polled. The top three cities were Boston, Denver and East Lansing, Michigan. At the bottom was Hackensack, N.J. In sum, San Diego was 42nd overall. It was 18th in football, 30th in baseball, 117th in basketball, 360th in hockey and 170th in soccer. n

What’s going on is a new personal training studio called ADMA Elite Training that opened in February that has been quietly, but dramatically, getting people in the best shape of their lives. Owner and head trainer Anthony Abbott, CPT, grew up in Ramona and began his jour-
ney to inspire others through fitness four years ago, when he earned his certification by the National Academy of Sports Medicine, with additional certifications in TRX (total body resistance exercise), dotFIT nutritional supplements and corrective exercise. He has extensive experience with all well-known and tested functional training methods, such as kettlebell, barbell, TRX, and speed and agility training. He also completed an apprentice-
ship with the celebrated Ezia Human Performance Studio in Carlsbad, and had the opportunity to learn the different methods and theories of training at a local fitness center. “I always aspired to start my own studio where I could apply my own personal method of fitness developed through experience, internships and extensive study,” Abbott said. “Through hard work and dedication, I have created a rewarding and exciting fitness program that
challenges my clients both physically and mentally, regardless of age or experience. The opportunity to open my studio every day, train clients and see life-changing transformations is a dream come true.” ADMA Elite Training is a simple, bare-bones facility with a non-intimidating environment providing individual and semiprivate training, with customized programs for clients of all ages. It also provides boot camp classes ranging from strength training and cardio respiratory training, to core, mobility, speed, flexibility and power movements. Classes are designed to safely and effectively bring clients closer to reaching their goals. The boot camps also create a sense of community, according to Abbott, which can help motivate clients to achieve and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. “At ADMA Elite Training we believe in fitness, health, community and creating a supportive environment that promotes positive life changes,” Abbott said. ADMA Elite Training is located at 713 Main St. Call 760-214-6866 or visit www. admaelitetraining.com. n
Treasure Hunters Could Get an Explosive Payday Early reports that a pair of treasure hunters has found the legendary Nazi gold train in a hidden tunnel somewhere in Poland were dismissed at first. But now, government officials seem to think the story may be true. The Poles have laid claim to the haul, if and when it is found, acknowledging that the adventurers who say they know where it is would be entitled to a 10 percent reward. The story goes that as World War II was coming to an end, the Nazis sought to make a getaway with gold and artifacts they stole over the years from the countries they invaded. It could be a recordbreaking finder’s fee if, as some say, the train is loaded down with some 300 tons of gold, with a current value of nearly $12.5 billion. But a local official claims the cargo may not be gold, but munitions that, if disturbed, could result in an explosively dramatic end to the story. n
