Alamo is operated by the Cardinal Development Company of Costa Mesa under the trade name of Extra Storage and opened its first location, Alamo Self Storage, 28 years ago at 327 Pine St., followed by Alamo West at 1037 Olive St. in 2009. “We had seven units available for auction for the show,” says Peter Massaro, who comanages Alamo West with Patty Stone and their not-soferocious watchdog Baby, a 14-year-old springer spaniel. “Most of the time we just find forgotten furniture, plants, business records, photographs, and personal mementos — not worth very much except to the owners. But every once in a

be sold at auction as a single lot for cash only. Prospective local buyers as well as the show’s professional buyers are all limited to a brief fiveminute inspection of the contents based only on what they can see from the open doorway of the unit.
Even though the show’s buyers are professionals with an experienced eye for sensing value, it is still largely a matter of luck. After all, how does anyone know what is in a cardboard box? Sometimes they get lucky and find a hidden treasure but, more often than not, they

avoid going to auction.” Dan and Laura Dotson, the husbandand-wife team that runs the well-known American Auctioneers, served as official auctioneers for the Alamo West event. Dan is the primary auctioneer and has worked as a professional auctioneer for more than 40 years. He was still recovering from a near-fatal double brain aneurism just a few weeks earlier, but was back in fine form for the Ramona auction, as was Laura’s famous catchphrase, “Don’t forget to pay the lady.” Together, the Dotsons conduct more than 3,000 auctions annually. Also on hand for the big event were “Storage Wars” regulars Darrell “The Gambler” Sheets from San Diego, and his son, Brandon Sheets, who make their
livelihood reselling items from auctions at weekly swap meets and through their online store. The Alamo West auction is scheduled to appear on the Aug. 19 episode of the show. The popular Dave “The Mogul” Hester made an appearance at the Ramona auction in his return to the show after an absence of more than two years. Hester had been fired from the show in December 2012, and he subsequently sued for wrongful termination. But everything has been patched up for his official return on the August 12 episode. Viewers will once again be able to hear his signature “Yuuup!” every time he makes a bid. n

They never know what they’re going to find. Extra Storage auctions have been featured on Storage Wars before. In fact, the company has enjoyed a professional

Diego County history, according to the Authority. The dam was raised 117 feet, increasing its storage capacity by 152,000 acre-feet, allowing water to be stored within the region for use in dry years. Filling the reservoir will take two to five years, depending on water supply and demand conditions statewide, according to the Water Authority. The dam is also part of the region’s Emergency Storage Project, enhancing local storage in case an emergency such as an earthquake interrupts imported water deliveries. n

Sign of the Times
Local Man Expresses His First Amendment Rights By Jim Evans
F
or almost 25 years, travelers heading east on State Route 78 from Ramona have become accustomed to seeing provocative messages posted on a crude homemade sign mounted near a wooded bend on the south side of the road. A recent message — “Stop Black Robe Justice” — struck a chord with many people. However, the current sign — “Last Sign Coming” — has prompted many to wonder if the tradition is about to come to an end, and, if so, what the final message will be. The statements — sometimes political in nature but always attention-grabbing — are the pastime of local septuagenarian Ron Stanford, who rails at what he calls “the decline of America.” “It’s not a representative government anymore,” he grumbles. “All of the politicians are either lawyers or millionaires, or both. Sadly, many of our greatest presidents could not afford to run for election today. If I called my local
Ron Stanford
congressman, I could not even talk to him on the phone because he wouldn’t know me or most of his constituents. “People can make a change in the leadership of our government, of course, but they need to be reminded once in a while. That’s where I come in. I first
“the sign guy” in person and to thank him for his plucky platitudes. “I have even had people offer to put a fresh coat of paint on the sign in anticipation of my next message,” he says. A native of Oklahoma (he is part Cherokee and Choctaw Indian), Stanford came to Ramona in 1956. He was a political science major in college and has worked as a paramedic, hospital aide, park ranger and firefighter, among other things. His home was destroyed in the Witch fire of 2007. “Oct. 21, to be exact,” he recalls. “We lost everything. Well, almost. The only thing left was my old California Forestry medallion that I found in the ashes. We had rebuilt everything by Nov. 2, 2008.” He now spends most of his time restoring old cars in a large prefabricated metal building adjacent to his home — and posting new signs, of course. Will “Last Message Coming” really be his last message? “I’ve been known to lie,” Stanford chuckles. n
put up my sign in May 1991,” he says. “I used to change the message every day. Then I changed it to once a week. Now, I just change it whenever I feel like it.” A few of Stanford’s signs have annoyed some passers-by, particularly those with different political views. But he claims to be just a good citizen expressing his honest opinion. “I mean what I want to say, I know what I want to say, and I say it,” he says unabashedly. “Over the years I’ve had my sign run over, crossed out, torn down, thrown in the creek, and dragged down the highway,” he laughs. “But you know what? I always had it back up by the next day. I don’t expect everyone to agree with everything I put on my sign, but sooner or later something I say will resonate with them. You can’t always lead a horse to water, but you can sure put salt in his oats. I’m just exercising my First Amendment right of free speech.” At the same time, many people have stopped to meet

FAA Approves SDG&E Testing of Unmanned Aircraft System
T
he Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently granted San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) a Special Airworthiness Certificate for a small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), also known as drones, the utility announced last month. It will allow the company to research, test and train flight crews on the UAS in a sparsely populated airspace in eastern San Diego County. These systems are approved to be tested in limited airspace near McCain Valley, according to SDG&E Communications Manager Hanan Eisenman SDG&E is the first utility in the nation to be granted FAA approval for this technology. “The unmanned aircraft system provides us with another tool in our electric and gas operations tool chest,” said Dave Geier, SDG&E’s vice president of electric transmission and system engineering. “This versatile technology would allow us to improve our response to emergency situations such as fires, as well as complete aerial inspections in remote areas that are otherwise difficult to access, and locate the cause of power outages faster. By using these devices, we hope to enhance the reliability of the energy network and promote public safety for the benefit
of the entire region.” The approved program aims specifically to investigate how SDG&E can integrate the small UAS into day-to-day operations to improve inspections of electric and gas lines, particularly in areas that are off-limits to helicopters or difficult to access by road or other means. Measuring 16 inches in diameter and weighing less than a pound, these devices use a camera to inspect utility equipment and relay live images back to the controller, alerting them if repairs are needed. In addition to locating the cause of power outages, conducting inspections of power lines, and accessing remote areas, the devices may improve situational awareness during emergencies through monitoring of fires, and achieve cost savings, noise reductions and environmental protection by avoiding the use of helicopters and other heavy machinery. The first step of the pilot program is to validate this new technology through rigorous testing strictly within the select airspace. The FAA and SDG&E have developed a testing protocol with the public’s privacy and safety foremost in mind. The four approved test areas in Eastern San Diego County are approximately 2.5 miles long and

Valley of the Run Event to Support Recovery Center Runners in the inaugural Ramona Valley of the Run 2014 5K and 10K will hit the trail Aug. 9. Their goal is to help Pemarro Recovery Center provide scholarships for local addiction awareness and prevention services and develop support for recovering methamphetamine and heroin addicts. Organizers say the focus is not only on addiction services, but about empowering people to better their lives on many levels. They hope to raise awareness and build a stronger support system for individuals — and their families — affected by addiction. Runners will line up at 7 a.m. at the Ramona Outdoor Community Center on Aqua Lane and take on a moderately challenging course of sand, hills and uneven terrain. The event will include an art and music festival.

RMWD Calls for Level 1 Drought Alert By Ruth Lepper
R
amona Municipal Water District is calling for a voluntary Level 1 Drought Watch Condition. What that means is ratepayers are being asked to be more careful with water use.The board of directors approved the declaration at its July 22 meeting. Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency on Jan. 7, asking Californians to voluntarily conserve water. The San Diego County Water Authority followed suit on April 29, calling for its 24 member agencies to join the “When in Drought” campaign for saving water. RMWD purchases all of its water from the SDCWA. (See www.whenindrought.org.) Local customers are asked to adhere to the following: 1. Stop washing paved surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, tennis courts or patios, except when necessary to alleviate safety or sanitation hazards. 2. Stop water waste resulting from inefficient landscape irrigation and stop water flows onto non-targeted areas, such as adjacent property, nonirrigated areas, hardscapes, roadways or structures. • Irrigate residential and commercial landscape before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. • Use a hand-held hose with a
positive shutoff nozzle or a bucket to water landscaped areas, including trees and shrubs located on residential and commercial properties that are not irrigated by a landscape irrigation system. • Irrigate nursery and commercial growers’ products before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. Watering is permitted at any time with a hand-held hose equipped with a positive shut-off nozzle, bucket or when a drip/micro-irrigation system or equipment or rotating nozzles are used. Irrigation of nursery propagation beds is permitted at any time. Watering of livestock is permitted at any time. • Use recirculated water to operate ornamental fountains. • Wash vehicles using a bucket and hand-held hose with positive shutoff nozzle, mobile high pressure/low volume wash system, or at a commercial site that recirculates water onsite. Avoid washing during hot conditions when additional water is required due to evaporation. • Serve and refill water in restaurants and other food service establishments only upon request. • Offer guests in hotels, motels and other commercial lodging the option of not laundering towels and linens daily. • Repair all water leaks within five days of notification by RMWD unless other arrangements are made with the general manager.

• Use recycled or non-potable water for construction purposes when available and feasible. The board will consider a Level 2 Drought Alert Condition, which requires up to 20 percent reduction, at its next meeting. In other business, District Engineer Mike Metts and Ricardo Soto, of the engineering department, gave a presentation on the progress of the Poway Pump Station Project. It is on schedule
In other action before the board, the directors amended certain chapters of the district’s legislative code. Director Rex Schildhouse sent an email, dated July 17, to General Manager David Barnum outlining 10 matters he requested be brought back to a future board meeting, “and directing staff or legal counsel to prepare future agenda memoranda and supporting materials.” The email went on to state that the costs for preparing the agenda items should

and expected to be in operation by Sept. 13 and fully in service by the end of October. RMWD and its contractor are working with San Diego Gas & Electric to install 3,700 feet of four-inch pipeline at the district’s facility in Poway. This will allow the district the choice of using electricity or natural gas, either separately or concurrently, in pumping water to Ramona. A significant change in the project has been in the design of a retaining wall. An alternative design under consideration could save the district between $15,000 and $40,000, according to Soto. While the wall is under construction, service at the pump station will continue, he said.
be incurred by staff and/or legal counsel. The board majority denied Schildhouse’s requests, although it was approved that two items on the list dealing with district employees be brought back for a closed session at the next meeting. Barnum said the two employees in question will be notified and told it will be up to them if they want the items discussed in closed or open sessions. Meetings are held the second and fourth Tuesdays at 2 p.m. at Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Ln. n

goals. Most people find that they do not have the time or expertise to manage this investment process on their own, which is why they turn to professional financial advisors. The key advantage in working with an advisor is that he or she knows your risk tolerance, goals and family situation, and can help you create a personalized, longterm investment strategy. A good financial advisor will communicate with you regularly and make recommendations. A financial advisor can offer you a variety of strategies and types of investments — such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds — to help you work toward your goals. Ultimately, though, you will be the one to make the “buy” or “sell” decisions. Some investors prefer to leave even the buy-and-sell decisions to professionals. Most financial advisors offer advisory programs that take care of this for you. With these programs, you choose a professionally managed portfolio of investments. The programs typically offer a wide range of portfolios, so you can choose one that’s
f you want to send your children or grandchildren to college, retire comfortably and achieve other important life goals, you will have to invest — it’s that simple. But the process of investing can sometimes seem anything but simple. What can you do to gain confidence that you are making the right investment moves? The answer may depend on how involved you want to be with your investment decisions. Initially, you might think that you would like to be totally “hands on.” After all, how you save and invest your money is unquestionably a highly personal matter. And once you start exploring the investment world, you may find it fascinating, as it entails virtually every human endeavor imaginable: business, politics, science, the environment, and so on. But if you want to completely run your own show, you will need to put in a lot of work — such as studying the financial markets, staying up-to-date on changing investment environments and monitoring your portfolio to make sure it is still appropriate for your financial needs and

appropriate based on your needs, goals and risk tolerance. Each portfolio contains a broad range of investments that are selected by professional analysts and represent a variety of asset classes. Advisory programs also offer a sophisticated rebalancing process designed to keep your assets allocated appropriately, which can help keep you on track toward your specific financial goals. Whether you choose to make your own decisions in consultation with a financial advisor or to invest in an advisory program — or both — you really should learn as much as possible about your investments. Whichever method you decide is best for you, remember that investing involves risk, and investment performance is never guaranteed. So make sure you’re asking the right questions, such as: What are the risk characteristics? How has a particular investment vehicle performed relative to others in its category? What are the tax implications of owning and selling a specific investment vehicle? What are the costs and fees associated with each choice? As you may have heard many times, knowledge is power — and that’s certainly true in the investment arena. n

The Valley and Beyond . . . Salk Study is Fascinating By Johnny McDonald
I
’ve been intrigued by the sometimes cluttered work of research scientists at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies in La Jolla. That interest began many years ago when, as a staff member of the San DiegoImperial chapter of the March of Dimes, I visited there with Dr. Jonas Salk. Now, my distant relationship with the huge Salk center amounts to the press releases I receive. I receive them quite regularly, because it is a busy
and productive place. On one visit, I joked with Dr. Salk about all the research equipment along the hallway. “Yes, I guess we should have allowed more space,” he replied. You become more aware of the recent accomplishments being made concerning diabetes and cancer from emailed news releases. The first was about treatments that reverse symptoms of type 2 diabetes in mice that withholds side effects. The other dealt with a gene responsible for stopping the movement of cancer from the

lungs to other parts of the body, thus indicating a new way to fight one of the world’s deadliest cancers. Someday I’ll have to return to the place that was designed by world-renowned architect Louis I. Kahn in the 1960s. Kahn’s creation consists of two mirror-image structures that flank a grand courtyard. Each building is six stories tall. Three lower floors contain laboratories, and the three levels above provide access to utilities. Protruding into the courtyard are separate towers that provide space for individual studies. The towers at the east end of the buildings contain heating, ventilating and other support systems. At the west end are six floors of offices, overlooking the ocean. Together, there are 29 separate structures. As I recall, these researchers had to do more than just sit in their laboratories — they

Regarding Dr. Salk’s research, I chronicled in an article that despite advice in medical school that it couldn’t be done, Salk chose to pursue a goal to eliminate wild poliomyelitis. The determination to achieve a cure placed him in the annals as a legend in medical science. Additional work with the influenza vaccine, muscular dystrophy and AIDS will be indelibly inscribed by his son, Dr. Peter Salk, a La Jolla physician, with the global Jonas Salk Legacy Foundation, started five years ago. In America in the 1950s, summertime was a time of fear and anxiety for parents; this was the season when children by the thousands became infected with the crippling disease. This burden of fear was lifted forever when it was announced that Salk had developed a vaccine against the disease. Peter Salk was heartened by a report from India stating that the nation had not experienced a single case of polio in 2008. This news came on April 12, the 60th anniversary of Jonas Salk’s breakthrough against the paralyzing disease Peter Salk said work still must be done in such countries as Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Scientists can provide the tools, but the world must be ready to use them. n

needed to sell their projects to others. I remember them submitting papers to charitable organizations in an effort to acquire grant money. In the early years, requests for $l5,000 and sometimes $25,000 were submitted. Today, they must be considerably higher because of increased equipment costs. Their research findings needed to be published in medical journals to legitimize advancements, then national agencies would give their financial approval. One thing I recall about Dr. Salk was his gentleness with children. The national poster child for birth defects was brought to the center for a publicity photo session. The photographer was pushing a little girl with crutches to a proper location. Salk admonished the photographer and gently positioned her.

Hiking Measures Focus on Safety

ational parks are great places for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy some of their favorite activities. Many such parks allow visitors to camp out after a day spent rafting or kayaking, making these locales ideal vacation spots for families and friends who share a love of the great outdoors. Hiking is among the more popular activities enjoyed at parks across the globe. Hikers of all ages and skill levels can enjoy trails of varying degrees of difficulty, all the while taking in picturesque landscapes that often cannot be found in developed areas. But as much as hiking can be enjoyed even by novice outdoor enthusiasts, this rewarding activity also can be dangerous. Hikers often find themselves in remote locations where cellular phone signals tend to be weak, which can be troublesome, even when hiking in relatively crowded parks. That’s why it’s important to take precautionary measures. Never hike alone — Many
people enjoy escaping from the daily grind and getting some alone time with Mother Nature.

Make Your Social Media Marketing a Success

mall businesses and nonprofits face a different set of circumstances when it comes to social media marketing than their larger for-profit Social media counterparts, namely, strategist Jeremy smaller budgets, Juhasz. fewer employees and Photo Courtesy of News & Experts a greater priority on traditional forms of marketing. For those charged with marketing, the biggest first step toward making social media an integral component of the plan may be convincing your organization. Despite widespread use of social networks for personal connections, the leadership of smaller organizations often questions its effectiveness as a marketing
tool and whether they’ll see a return on their investment. I’ve developed and implemented social media strategies for a variety of organizations, including for-profits, nonprofits and individuals. For all of them, I’ve discovered, when it comes to social media, it’s important to remember these five P’s: Plan — Identify what you hope to accomplish and create a strategy to take you there. Too many nonprofits and small businesses dive into social media because they think they have to and don’t consider a plan of action before they do so. Make a list of what you want to accomplish. Is it to gain more donors? Get a higher attendance at your annual fundraiser? Increase sales? Make it a priority to identify goals so you can create the social media

That said, circumstances change, not every strategy works, and you need to also be willing to recognize that it is time to try something new. Be persistent in implementing your plan and in monitoring whether or not you’re reaching the objectives that will take you to your goal. Pay — These days, especially on Facebook, it’s a pay-for-play landscape. Pay where you can, if you can. The results can provide the spark you need to drive a specific campaign or to increase your overall visibility to your target market. It can also be a very affordable alternative to other digital advertising options. Prioritize — I can’t stress enough the importance of time management. If your
strategies for meeting them. Patience — Nothing happens overnight. It takes time to develop relationships and establish credibility with your brand and your target audience. Over time, events and a steady pace will win out. Rushing leads to mistakes. The type of patience I’m referring to is a long-term mindset. When day-to-day activities seem arduous and, at times, unfulfilling, know that each day builds to the greater goal. March on. Persistence — You must be stubbornly committed to your goals and your strategy. Keep plugging away and give your plan a fair amount of time and analysis before you pull the plug. If you know the plan is a good one, it’s not a good idea to panic and change course simply because you’re not seeing results as quickly as you’d like.

How to Use Your New Health Insurance
By David Sayen
S
taying healthy is important for you and your family, and those who have obtained a new health coverage plan may find it a little easier. Here are some steps everyone can take to make the most of their coverage. Put Your Health First • Maintain a healthy lifestyle at home, at work and in the community. • Get your recommended health screenings and manage chronic conditions. • Keep all of your health information in one place. Understand Your Health Coverage • Check with your insurance plan or state program to see what services are covered. • Be familiar with your costs (premiums, copayments, deductibles, co-insurance). • Know the difference between in-network and out-of-network services, and the out-of-pocket costs of each. Know Where to Go for Care • Use the emergency department for a life-threatening situation. • Primary care is preferred B R A N D

when it’s not an emergency. • Know the difference between primary care and emergency care. Find a Doctor or Other Healthcare Provider • Ask people you trust and/or do research on the Internet. • Check your plan’s list of providers. • If you’re assigned a provider, contact your plan if you want to change. • If you’re enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, contact your state program for help. Make an Appointment • Contact your provider’s office and mention if you’re a new patient or have been there before. • Give the name of your insurance plan and ask if they accept your insurance. • Tell them the name of the provider you want to see and why you want an appointment. Be Prepared for Your Visit • Have your insurance card with you. • Know your family health history and make a list of any medicines you take.

• Bring a list of questions and things to discuss, and take notes during your visit. • Bring someone with you to help if you need it. Decide if the Provider is Right for You • Did you feel comfortable with the provider you saw? • Were you able to communicate with and understand your provider? • Did you feel like you and your provider could make good decisions together? • Remember, it’s okay to change to a different provider. Next Steps After Your Appointment • Follow your provider’s instructions. • Fill any prescriptions you were given and take them as directed. • Schedule a follow-up visit if you need one. • Review your explanation of benefits and pay your medical bills. • Contact your provider or health plan with any questions.

Be Aware of Summer Allergies
People often mistakenly associate seasonal allergies with the spring. But allergies can still appear long after springtime blooms have passed their peak. Ragweed is the most common culprit that causes late-summer allergies. According to Bruce Gordon, MD, a professor at Harvard University and an ear, nose and throat allergy specialist, ragweed has a distinct season, with its pollen produced in abundance from late-summer to mid-fall — and into the winter in warmer climates. A single ragweed plant can produce one-billion grains of pollen per season. The weed grows prolifically in the
Southwest, where its lightweight pollen can travel on the wind up to 400 miles. In addition to ragweed, pigweed, curly dock, sagebrush, Russian thistle and goldenrod may also be allergy contributors. In fact, grasses are among the predominant pollens on the record here this month. Mold is another potential foe, one that can thrive in backyard compost piles. When battling allergies, consider using antihistamines and special nasal sprays, which may help to mitigate the symptoms. Visit www.pollen.com for up-to-date information about pollen levels and local allergens. n

Calvin Willard Roy ~ 1925–2014
Calvin Willard Roy died peacefully in his Ramona home on Sunday, July 6, 2014, surrounded by family. He was 89 years old. He was born in Racine, Wis., on Feb. 18, 1925, to Julius and Mary Roy. He attended Augustana College in Illinois, and Ohio State University, and in 1949, earned a Bachelor of Divinity Degree from Grace Theological Seminary in Indiana. In 1952, he earned his Master of Divinity Degree from Conservative
Baptist Seminary in Denver, Colo. Cal was a naturally gifted pastor and teacher. He served congregations in Tampico, Ill., and then as a chaplain in the United States Air Force in Arizona, Japan, Florida, Canada, California and Kansas. He was honorably discharged as a lieutenant colonel in 1976, after 23 years of service. Cal married Earlene Cook in 1948, and is survived by their five children, Suzanne Stubblefield, Jeffrey Roy, MaryBeth Maire, James Roy and Barbara Colvin. Cal had 14 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Following
Earlene’s death, Cal married Leona Craft of Ramona in 1995, who survives him. “Cal lived a faithful life filled with people, travel, study, education and mostly ministry,” his family says. “His love for God, family and others was his life’s work, a fitting tribute for any Christian. He taught from the Word until his final weeks. He is acutely missed, but has successfully ‘run the race’ and has reached his enduring home.” Services were held July 19. The family has established a memorial fund at www.gofundme.com/bejcgs that will assist some of the mission ministries that Cal long supported. n

ON MEMORY’S BACK TRAIL Santa Ysabel
By Darrell Beck
B
Crossroads of History
eautiful and serene Santa Ysabel is tucked away in a small valley, surrounded by Mesa Grande and Black Mountain to the west and by Volcan Mountain and Julian on the east. Volcan Mountain is the source of Santa Ysabel Creek, flowing from Ironside Spring and creating a small stream that ripples gently through the valley, eventually joining another creek downstream to become the San Dieguito River. Santa Ysabel has been a crossroads of history and trade, where Native American tribes traveled and gathered long before Europeans arrived. Records show that during the Mission Era (1769-1833), Father Juan Mariner first visited the valley in 1795, when he made contact with the American Indians living there. By 1818, Fr. Mariner had returned with permission from the church to build a chapel — the Santa
Santa Ysabel General Store.
Ysabel Asistencia — in Santa Ysabel, and by about 1821, had completed an adobe structure, a granary and several adobe residences. Events in California were moving rapidly during this period of history. Mexico won independence from Spain in 1821, and by 1833, the Mexican government had ratified the Act of Secularization, thus beginning the Rancho Era (1834-48). In 1844, Jose Joaquin Ortega and his son-in-law Edward Stokes were granted the 17,719-acre Santa Ysabel Rancho by the Mexican governor. In 1846, the U.S. was at war with Mexico, and before long, Native Americans began protesting the presence of Stokes and Ortega on their ancestral land. They were eventually able to live together in reasonable accord. August 1, 2014
During a cold and wet December day in 1846, General Stephen Watts Kearny and his Army of the West passed through Santa Ysabel Valley and camped at the Ortega/Stokes ranch while on his march to the Battle of San Pasqual. It was Stokes who volunteered to ride to San Diego with a message from Kearny to send reinforcements several days before the fateful battle of Dec. 6, 1846. In 1847, Santa Ysabel Valley was visited by Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, the son of Sacagawea, as he was guiding the Mormon Battalion from New Mexico to San Diego. By the following year, the U.S. had won the war with Mexico, and California was being prepared for statehood. In 1849, U.S. Army Lt. A.W. Whipple, who was there with the Mexican boundary survey, reported that the mission was in ruins.
proposed for a Santa Ysabel reservation, and provisions were offered to the Indians, including promises for the government to provide livestock, such as a certain number of beef cattle, bulls, brood mares, stallions, cows, oxen and yokes. Also included in the transaction were measures of flour, clothing, plows, grindstones and blankets, and sewing materials such as calico cloth, thimbles, needles, thread and scissors. Over the years, Santa Ysabel remained a quiet crossroads to the backcountry, being the main inland trail to Warner Ranch, Temecula and Los Angeles. In 1870, it became a busy hub of activity due to the Julian Gold Rush, and a small settlement sprang up at the crossroads. In 1884, John Curlee built an adobe store, and soon other enterprises included a blacksmith shop, general merchandise store, and stables. In 1869, Alfred H. Wilcox and his partner Benjamin Minturn Hartshorne showed up in records as having
acquired the Santa Ysabel Rancho. “The History of San Diego County Ranchos” stated, “In the 1880s the property was sold to Brackett and Company, Sonoma County farmers, who stocked the rancho and conducted an extensive dairy business.” Other records indicate that Samuel Rotanzi had some interest in the Santa Ysabel Ranch at the close of the nineteenth century. By 1903, Father Joseph Exalaphat LaPointe was serving in Santa Ysabel as a missionary. By 1924, he had encouraged the construction of a new chapel on the site of the 1818 Santa Ysabel Asistencia. The cornerstone was set in 1924, and a modern and well-built chapel was soon completed and in use. Adding to this improvement, the church acquired a set of bells that were hung outside on a frame of timbers and used to call people to mass or to other important events. These bells were stolen in 1926 and not See Santa Ysabel continued on page 28

When California became a state in 1850, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was ratified, which recognized previous land grants. According to the Land Act of 1851, all Mexican land grant owners were required to file a claim with the Public Land Commission to patent their land grants. Ortega and Stokes applied for this patent that was finally approved in 1872, after their deaths. Stokes’ widow, Maria del Refugio (Ortega) Stokes, became owner of Rancho Santa Ysabel and sold out her interest. In 1859, she married Augustan Olvera, grantee of the Cuyamaca Rancho. In January 1852, O.M. Wozencroft, a U.S. Indian agent, made a treaty with the native peoples, with local tribal leaders and 23 captains attending proceedings witnessed by Capt. Davidson, Lt. Murray and J.J. Warner. At that time, land boundaries were Ramona Home JournaL 23
Boys & Girls Club Compete in Summer Games

he annual Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego Summer Games, the largest BGC sporting event in the county, was held last month at Miramar College. More than 1,300 children, including a group from the Ramona Branch, competed in Olympic-styled events such as swimming, capture the flag, kickball, track, basketball, dodge ball and soccer. “Even better than the competition was the spirit of sportsmanship, which was evident on the playing fields, courts and pool,” said Marketing and Communications Manager Jonathan Greene. The Ramona Branch finished the day tied for fifth place with 10 medals — three gold, two silver and five bronze. The local group was led by Site Supervisor Simone McCune. n

Hiking Measures Continued from page 17
number of ways. Nature is beautiful at all times of the day, but part of the joy of hiking is taking in the beautiful landscapes, which are easier to see during daylight hours. Hiking during the day is also safer, as it’s easier for hikers to make their way on trails when they can see where they’re going than at night, when trails are cloaked in darkness. Scavenging animals also may be more prevalent after sundown. Keep in mind that many parks ban hiking once the sun goes down. Know the weather forecast — When planning a hiking trip, know the weather forecast for the day or days you plan to hike. Expect cooler temperatures, even if the forecast is calling for a beautiful warm day. Hiking trails are often surrounded by tall trees, which makes it difficult for warm sunlight to illuminate trails and warm up hikers. So pack an extra jacket or coat, ideally a rain coat that can serve double duty should it start to rain. Carry water and snacks — Staying hydrated can make a long or challenging hike easier on your muscles, so be sure to
bring plenty of water to quench your thirst throughout your hike. Bring some snacks along, as well. Snacks should provide you with energy to continue your hike, so leave behind potato chips and pretzels and pack fresh fruit, granola, protein bars
or trail mix. Hiking is a wonderful way to enjoy the great outdoors. But even veteran hikers must take precautions to ensure their trips are as safe as they are enjoyable. n

In 1993, metal craftsmen Ed Schwaesdall and his son John Schwaesdall of Ramona cast two new bronze bells and donated them to the church on its 175th anniversary. In 1896, Fiorenzo Moretti and his wife, Ermilinda Moretti, immigrated to America from Switzerland. They acquired the Santa Ysabel Ranch in 1898 where they built and operated a dairy and cattle business. During the 1920s, they were joined by their nephews Victor Cauzza, Elmo Cauzza and Albino Cauzza, also immigrants of Switzerland via Ellis Island. By working together, the family built up the Santa Ysabel Ranch into three successful dairies, including the Mesa Chiquita Ranch, and a cattle enterprise. The Cauzza brothers inherited the Santa Ysabel Ranch properties. The business flourished and was passed down through the family, now into the fourth generation. However, times and priorities were changing. In recent years,

the dairies could no longer produce enough milk to make it profitable to be trucked to market. A swarm of new regulations and environmental constraints created a climate of high costs and low profits, and as a result, much of the old Santa Ysabel Ranch was sold, closing another chapter on the hardscrabble life of ranching, farming and dairying in the backcountry. In October 1999, The Nature Conservancy purchased 1,512 acres of the ranch known as Santa Ysabel West, and the following year purchased 3,890 acres known as Santa Ysabel East. The old ranch became the Santa Ysabel Open Space Preserves, overlaid by the San Dieguito River Park hiking trail that extends from the Pacific Ocean to the interior desert. Today, Santa Ysabel is still a busy crossroads where city folks frequent the road to Julian for Apple Days, fiddle events, gold mining tours and a multitude of tourist activities. People come for miles around to visit Dudley’s Bakery and local souvenir and curio shops, and drive through to the old chapel, Lake Henshaw, Palomar Mountain and all points beyond. n

Junior Fair Features Home Ec Entries
T
he home economics building at Ramona Junior Fair will be bursting with entries — more than 200 — at this year’s competition. The projects will be judged, with winners announced in several categories. Entries are classed in junior or senior divisions, with age groups 9 to 13 and 14 to 19, respectively. There also will be group entries from two or more exhibitors. The projects entered include a written narrative describing each project, along with photographs. Entries moved into the fairgrounds on July 26, but the contestants did not know for several days if they had won ribbons for their projects, or if they earned the coveted best-of-show award. “They typically don’t find out until barn set-up (day),” Home Ec Superintendent Melissa Brean said. “We’ll open the doors and let the kids run in and see how they did.” The Junior Fair officially opens on July 30 and continues through Aug. 3. The building will be open during regular fair hours. The most popular among the entries is the photography division. There are five classifications — portraits, nature, animals, landscapes and other. “Photography is the most popular by far,” Brean said. “Second is fine arts. I get a professional photographer to come in to judge. For fine arts (judging) is an art teacher.” Another favorite among members of 4-H clubs, Future Farmers of America and the Junior Grange is the clothing, quilts and needlework category. Here, visitors to the fair will see an assortment of dresses, blouses and other wearing
apparel, as well as fancy needlework adorning the clothes. Quilts often will be a group effort. Baked goods and types of food preservation are always well represented. Recipes for the baked goods are displayed along with the tasty morsels. Food preservation includes fruit, vegetables and preserves and can be from a canning or drying method. Posters and demonstrations also are a group entry. Home décor covers anything made for use inside a home, including such items as wreaths and wall hangings. Pottery and ceramics are in a separate category The final category is agriculture and ornamental horticulture. This covers mature plants and ripe fruits and vegetables.

Beauty Queens Sparkle at Cygnet Theatre For a rollickingly good time, plan on spending an evening or Sunday afternoon at Cygnet Theatre in Old Town San Diego State Park. “Pageant,” the current production running through Aug. 31, is a delightful entry into the world of beauty and beauty queens, with one major difference — the queens are all portrayed by men in drag. And they are delightful! Phil Johnson stars as the over-the-top master of ceremonies Frankie Cavalier. Never without a smile — or more accurately, a grin that outdoes all grins — Johnson keeps the ball rolling as he interviews contestants as well as having his own time in the spotlight with a song-and-dance number about Venus. Spur-of-the-moment judges selected from the audience choose a different winner at each performance, based on evening gowns, bathing suits and talent. Therefore, the contestants must be prepared to react if they are the lucky winner — along with reacting if they happen to lose. On opening night, the winner was Miss Deep South, played by David McBean. Not

Glaudini’s wife, Bets Malone, is a pure delight as Mrs. Banks. The Banks children — Jane and Michael — are exceptionally portrayed by a couple of 10-year-olds, Abby Despain and Nate Carmen. Of special note is Justin Matthew Sequra’s portrayal of the statue Nieleus. Not to be outdone is Leigh Wakeford as Bert, the chimneysweep. Wakeford well 32 Ramona Home Journal

“The Orphan of Zhao” is a stunning production at La Jolla Playhouse starring noted actor B.D. Wong as a country doctor. The original play dates back to the 13th century. The current production, in association with the American Conservatory Theater, is a new adaptation by James Fenton under the direction of Carey Perloff. The story centers around a classic Chinese legend, creating an epic tale of self-sacrifice and revenge. The country doctor comes to the aid of the princess who has given birth to the last heir of a noble clan. The baby’s father was forced to take his own life, and the doctor now has agreed to hide the infant until the time comes to seek revenge. In so doing, the doctor sacrifices his own newborn son. The play, first translated into English some 300 years ago, often is referred to as the

Chinese “Hamlet.” It has served as the inspiration for numerous plays, operas and movies. “Staging an ancient Chinese epic for a contemporary American audience is like building a bridge between distant but entwined cultures,” Perloff said. “When B.D. Wong and I first discussed ‘Zhao’ more than a year ago, we realized
that many of its deepest values were still central to the Chinese-American culture he had grown up in: devotion to family and respect for one’s elders, individual sacrifice for the common good, loyalty and humility.” The play follows such gripping emotions. While there is violence portrayed throughout the play with several death scenes, they are handled with tact. “The Orphan of Zhao” sports a cast of 12 exceptionally talented individuals. It is a story that will be long remembered after the final curtain. It was first performed in San Francisco by the American Conservatory Theater where Perloff is the artistic director. Performances at La Jolla Playhouse continue through Aug. 3. Call 858-550-1010 visit www.lajollaplayhouse.org. n

Home Projects Perfect for ‘Staycationers’
he “staycation” was a concept many people acquainted themselves with when the economy first started to struggle and people were forced to tighten their belts. In lieu of trips overseas or family vacations to popular tourist destinations, many opted to save money and stay home. While the idea of a staycation makes practical sense, many found that idling away a week of hard-earned vacation time at home could become boring after a few days. But whether their staycation is a week-long escape from the office or a three-day weekend, homeowners can tackle projects around the house to turn
their time at home into something productive. Add a splash of color — One of the easiest and most effective ways to give a home a new look is to repaint its interior. Such a project can be a small-scale undertaking, focusing on one or two rooms in the house, or a more ambitious exercise in which the more lived-in rooms are given an entirely new color scheme. When removing old paint, consider using sanding pads to make the task easier. Parents on staycation can even involve the whole family in their project, allowing youngsters to choose new colors for their rooms and do a little work
with the paintbrush, as well. Say farewell to old faucets — Faucets have a unique way of making bathrooms appear dated. But vanity and kitchen faucets can quickly and easily be replaced, so long as the main problem is appearance and not plumbing. Homeowners who suspect potential plumbing problems with sinks should seek a consultation with a professional before replacing vanity faucets. Once the go-ahead has been given, homeowners can spend a weekend or several days replacing faucets around the home. Though the project might seem small, it can yield dramatic and aesthetically
