Arizona Sheriff Coming to Ramona By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio will be in Ramona on July 26 to speak before the Ramona Tea’d group. With 22 years as head of the third-largest sheriff’s department in the country and 55 years in law enforcement, Arpaio will talk about his career and various projects connected with his department. Maricopa County covers 92,000 square miles and goes within 30 miles of the Arizona-Mexico border. The
Celebrating a Quarter of a Century in Scouting By Tracy Rolling ~ the journal
I
t was a day filled with smiles when former Boy Scouts and leaders of Troop 679 gathered to celebrate the troop’s 25th anniversary with a reunion picnic. To commemorate a quarter of a century in Scouting, the troop, chartered by the San Diego Country Estates Association, met at the Weiss House in Ramona Oaks Park earlier this month and shared stories while reminiscing about yesteryear. Outdoor Activities Chair Michele Cassan said a slideshow of more than 400 photos from the past 25 years ran continuously and was enjoyed by all. “It was fun to recognize some of the boys when they
walk up,” she said, telling how they looked familiar from the slides, back when they were only 14 and 15 years old. Many of the returnees were on break from college and came back to share stories about their own personal Scouting experience. “It was especially good for the first- and second-year Scouts to hear stories from the older boys about their campouts, high adventures, service projects, and even making Eagle.” Cassan said one of their favorite stories to tell was when the troop learned how to skin a rabbit. “It sounded like a great experience, one we are planning to put on the troop calendar.” In addition to the slideshow,

county boasts a population of 4 million people. Arpaio oversees more than 3,800 government employees, including deputies, detention center officers and civilian staff. He also is in charge of a volunteer posse numbering more than 3,500 men and women. In a telephone interview with Ramona Journal, Arpaio said he considers running for governor whenever the gubernatorial election draws
near but has, once again, decided against it. He does, however, plan to run for re-election for sheriff in 2016. He has already raised $4.5 million for his campaign, with a goal of raising a total of $12 million before the election. “I’m getting ready,” Arpaio said. “I will be 84 going on my seventh term. After that, I have to decide if I’m healthy enough to keep going.” Arpaio, who averages a 14-hour workday, takes a strong stand on illegal immigration. With the current problem of an influx in children coming across the U.S. borders from as far away as South and Central America, the sheriff said they should be returned to their home countries. “My answer, right off the bat, is they should be put back on an airplane and sent back where they came from,” Arpaio said. “Once they are here, you have to do something for them. A $500 airplane ticket is nothing (compared to) having all these kids going across the country and staying here.” Following his stint in the U.S. Army as a military policeman, Arpaio worked on the police forces in Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas before joining the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, which later became part of the Drug Enforcement Administration.

hen you recognize that the human body is made up of roughly 65 percent water, it’s easy to see how staying hydrated is an essential part of life. According to local health and fitness expert Nikki San Nicolas of Ramona Fitness Center, hydration isn’t just important — it’s vital. San Nicolas, a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer, says there are many benefits
to being hydrated, and it’s even more important during the summer months. She explains that athletes perform at their optimal level when they stay well hydrated, and that perspiring is just a natural way for the body to cool itself down. “Having enough water in your system to be able to sweat is a good thing,” she says. “Perspiration is your body’s own cooling system and a natural response to being hot or exerted.” She warns that caffeine

and some nutritional supplements in addition to dry or hot weather can make a person more susceptible to dehydration. With a variety of different types of water available for sale in today’s markets, information about alkaline water is starting to trickle into Ramona. Ron Fix of Water Depot says that the newest trend in water is alkaline water. He says some of the benefits of alkaline water are how it can restore the body’s natural pH balance; neutralize acidity in the body caused by stress, a modern diet and air pollution; and even provide superior hydration through ionization “micro-clusters.” He also says it can detoxify cells more efficiently than standard drinking water and even improve the body’s absorption of essential nutrients while promoting natural weight loss. While many people believe thirst is one of the body’s first indications of dehydration, it’s not an always the most accurate guide. Other ways to gauge if a person has not consumed enough water or liquids would be sleepiness, irritability, confusion, dry mouth, dry mucous membranes, and

small outputs of urine that appears darker in color or being unable to urinate at all. Individuals experiencing dehydration should seek medical attention. San Nicolas says it doesn’t matter how you replenish your body’s water, only that you do. “Any kind of water is good,” she says, adding that the best way to stay hydrated is to listen to your body and simply drink a steady and continuous amount of water. n
Relay for Life of Ramona presents its third-annual Golfing for a Cure charity tournament Aug. 2 at the San Vicente Golf Club. Proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. Organizers say the event provides players of all skill levels an outstanding golf experience and the opportunity to support cancer research, education, advocacy and patient service programs in local communities. This is the last of three events presented by the Ramona Relay for Life Committee. It follows the April Relay for Life walk and the June Horsepower for Life equestrian event. “The 2014 fundraising goal is $50,000, and with community involvement in this fun and friendly event, we can make our goal,” said Juli Elliott, event chair.
The tournament format is scramble, so everyone may play regardless of experience. “The only qualifications are to have fun, laugh and enjoy friends united for a great cause.” Golfers may also enjoy the putting and chipping contest and trying for the hole-in-one car. A fee of $100 per person includes greens fees, cart rental, lunch and prizes. There will be a pizza party and raffle drawing after the tournament ends. Hole sponsorships are available for $100, and dedication of a hole in honor of a friend or loved one is $50. Check-in begins at 11:30 a.m., and shotgun start is at 1 p.m. at 24157 San Vicente Rd.

Camp Experience Builds Relationships
C
By Lindsay Santa ~ the journal
abins, tee-pees and covered wagons are just a few of the structures that housed Ramona students this year for summer camp at Indian Hills. In its fourth year of participating, Mountain View Community Church sent 50 student campers ranging in age from 7 to 11 years, as well as several adult leaders, for a week of outdoor fun and adventures. While at camp, the third-grade to sixth-grade students will have opportunities to participate in activities such as archery, zip-line experiences, BMX biking, crafts, pool, exploring a gold mine, taking on an obstacle course and enjoying a giant playground. Bonus pay options include paintball, a petting zoo and a new survival-training course. In addition, campers participate in afternoon group games, worship, skits, a midweek carnival and a Wild West Show finale. The students also engage in daily devotionals with their camp counselors. “The relationships I build with my campers are my absolute favorite part of camp,” said Heather Winters, Director of Children’s Ministries for Mountain View Community Church. “The 50 campers became my children during camp week. We laughed together, we cried together, we went on adventures together. There really is nothing like it. “I get stretched outside my comfort zone, and I do activities like ride the zip-line myself, if it would bring a smile to the face of one of my campers.” Youngsters make memories that last a lifetime, she says. “They learn to try new things, how to build new relationships, they go on new adventures, and at Indian Hills they are taught about Jesus Christ and how much they are loved unconditionally by their creator.” The camp is set back in the mountains of Jamul. “It is close enough to home but far enough away to really let go of the responsibilities and stresses of life and just have fun. The camp has covered wagons, cabins
and teepees, which makes camping a blast. The whole environment is welcoming, structured, fun and safe.” Each church is responsible for providing one adult leader for every 10 children. Leaders are backgroundchecked and attend training both online and at camp prior to their designated camp week. The camp provides additional teen support staff members. Mountain View’s camp spots filled up almost immediately this season. By February of this year, all camper spots were taken, and a wait list had begun. When the church was offered an additional 10 camp spots for girls, which does not happen often, they were able to accept a few more children. “After camp, our kiddos are always pumped about church, so we like to invite each of them to our Sunday school program during our 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services,” said Winters. “More than anything, we want kiddos to feel like they belong. Camp is a great opportunity to build friendships and make going to church on Sundays even more fun because they have someone to share it with. “Our mission is to partner with parents in raising children who prize Christ above all else. We want to help equip parents to raise truly great kids who know and love the Lord. We have a partnership with Indian Hills Camp because they have the same mission, and it’s also really fun!” n

The paintings and sculptures are staged in giant frames, with painted backgrounds and real people — men, women and children — portraying those featured in the artwork. The summer 2014 theme is “The Art Detective” and is under the direction of Diane Challis Davy. Musical accompaniment by the 28-piece orchestra is conducted by John Elg. “‘The Art Detective’ will be beautiful, fun, enlightening and mysterious,” Davy said. “And through the art of storytelling, we’ll shed light on true and sensational art history.” A narrator explains the background of each recreation, which often includes articles about art heists around the world, many of which have remained unsolved. Featured artists include John Singer Sargent, Rembrandt van Rijn, Gerald O. Laing, Thomas Graham, Edouard Manet, Edwin Landseer, Emanuel Leutze, Samuel L. Fides, Robert W Buss, Jan van Eyck, David

‘Feet Don’t Fail Me Now!’
R
By Lindsay Santa ~ the journal
RJAD Studio Hosts 27th Recital
amona/Julian Academy of Dance held its 27th annual recital in June, titled “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now!” More than 90 routines were performed during two shows. The recital was held in the Poway Performing Arts Center and featured dancers ranging in age from 2 to 75. Each show opened with a special daddy/daughter dance routine and closed with the performing group. “I feel it’s important to showcase their talents and abilities every year because it builds self-confidence,” said Kristine Griffin, Ramona/Julian Academy of Dance owner. ”They have worked hard all year and love to share with their family and friends their improvement. It makes them feel good about themselves when they promote to the next level in their field of dance or gymnastics.” Griffin says that teachers follow a syllabus in the technique classes, and students are tested at the end of the year for advancement. Dancers from the studio attended four regional competitions and will go on to compete at nationals in Las Vegas this month. Griffin says it has been one of the studio’s most successful competition seasons. At regional competitions, RJAD won 25 gold awards, 27 high gold, 16 platinum, 10 double platinum, four emerald, 19 ruby, three diamond, and 13 special judges awards. Category
placement honors included 16 first-place awards, four secondplace, four third-place, and three fourth-place. For overall high scores, there were four firstplace awards, one second-place, and four third-place. Five of the dance teams won New York Experience awards and were invited to New York to compete. Emily Payne won two senior photogenic awards. The biggest award was “most entertaining,” which is a very large trophy, won by the junior gym team. “At one competition, Ramona/ Julian was awarded my proudest award — the Sportsmanship Award,” said Griffin. “This was voted on by the competition director and all the staff backstage. It says a lot about our small town.” The studio is offering a summer dance session of regular classes along with ballroom and line dance options. There are also three master classes in hip-hop with instructors from Culture Shock, and ballet/pointe with guest artist and professional ballerina Tanya Durbin from Los Angeles.

RMWD Directors Approve $36 Million Budget was scheduled to provide an opportunity for the public to attend in the evening. However, only three members of the public showed up, and no one asked questions. The regular board meeting on the following afternoon had about six members of the public plus a few district employees who are always in attendance. “I have a well and I hardly ever use the sewer,” RMWD customer Pauline Freeman, a resident of San Diego Country Estates, told the directors at the board meeting. She added that her bill is around $56. “It doesn’t seem fair for someone on a limited income to have to pay this rate.” Hannasch said the increase in water rates will average about 6 cents a day. He gave a hypothetical example of a customer currently paying $132.74 for the two-month cycle would now pay $136.32. The new budget became

amona Municipal Water District’s budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year shows a savings of more than $300,000. According to Financial Services Director Richard Hannasch, it is “one of the best budgets in years.” He went on to say this is the sixth consecutive year “of belt-tightening savings” for the district. The budget, totaling approximately $36 million, was approved June 24 by the board of directors following a public hearing and a detailed presentation of the budget. The district received 11 written protests of the budget, but only one person from the public spoke out at the board meeting, and no one made comments at a special presentation the prior evening.

effective on July 1, 2014. Hannasch attributed the rate hike to San Diego County Water Authority’s fee increase to the district. RMWD purchases all of its water from SDCWA. “The largest single financial factor for the past couple of years has been the cost of water from San Diego County Water Authority,” Hannasch said. RMWD receives $4.8 million allocation from county property taxes. Of that, $1.25 million goes to the district’s contract with Cal Fire, and $200,000 is earmarked for capital purchases. Debt obligations take up approximately $1.5 million. San Vicente Wastewater Treatment Plant has $2.4

chief/fire marshal, explained that the current fee schedule is outdated and the new fees need to be in compliance with state and county fire codes. Foster said the fees cover the costs of inspecting commercial properties in the RMWD community, along with operational and development services. The board approved the budget resolution as well as ordinances for modifying water rates for treated and untreated water, sewer service charges and availability charges for the San Vicente Sewer Service Area, and the ordinance for fire permits.

Director’s Complaints Highlight RMWD Board Meeting
By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal
Complaints from Ramona Municipal Water District Director Rex Schildhouse took up the majority of the July 8 board meeting. It went on for about 30 minutes, while the actual business part of the agenda and the adjournment of the meeting were conducted within four minutes. Schildhouse, director of Division III that represents parts of San Diego Country Estates, has been complaining since February that he has not been allowed to add items to upcoming agendas and accusing the other board members of lying and holding secret meetings with the general manager. An ad-hoc committee was formed to study Schildhouse’s complaints that the board was not following the district’s administrative code, referred to as Policy One. Directors Darrell Beck and George Foote serve on the committee. As a result, it was recommended at a previous board meeting that legal counsel send a letter to Schildhouse. Also at that meeting, Schildhouse was presented with a copy of about 200 pages outlining what is expected of a director. The other directors refused to receive a copy because of the extra cost to the district and because they already had the information from when it was originally distributed to the board. Director Joe Zenovic brought up the $900 cost for a special meeting on the budget workshop conducted in the evening on June 23. He pointed out that Director Kit Kesinger, who has not attended a board meeting since April 2013, had previously stated he could attend evening meetings but not meetings in the afternoon. “We were told by Director Kesinger that he would make meetings at 7 o’clock at night,” Zenovic said, adding praise for Financial Services Director Richard Hannasch for “an excellent job of presenting the budget.” Zenovic pointed out that only three members of the public attended the special meeting, in addition to the directors, five staff members and media, and that no questions were asked. Zenovic criticized Kesinger for not attending or notifying VOTED the general manager that he BEST OF would not be there. “I would have at least 2009 Through 2012 expected a note from his employer saying he had to work or a note from his doctor saying he was sick,” Zenovic said.

million in the budget, while the Santa Maria Wastewater Treatment Plant is budgeted for $2.9 million. Santa Maria customers will realize a decrease in sewer rates, and a current study for San Vicente is expected to also bring about lower rates. RMWD General Manager David Barnum praised Hannasch and staff for their work on the budget. “I think this budget is an excellent example of teamwork,” Barnum said. “Ramona will continue to thrive as a community.” In addition to the public hearing for the budget proposal, the directors held a public hearing for fire permit rates. Steve Foster, battalion

When he continued with “a note from his mother,” Schildhouse interrupted, telling Zenovic a Grand Jury report from about 20 years ago stated directors are not allowed to humiliate other directors. The confrontation continued until board President Beck gaveled down Schildhouse, telling him he would “get his chance” to make his own remarks. Zenovic went on to call for Kesinger to resign from the board, saying, “It’s time for you to step up to the plate and resign. You are not doing anyone a favor by staying home. Step up to the plate and do the manly thing.” Again, Schildhouse tried to interject while Zenovic was speaking and had to be curtailed by the board president. Schildhouse also objected to a form included in the agenda that has been used by directors to have items placed on agendas. General Manager David Barnum said the form has been in use for more than 20 years and there have never been any complaints about it. The agenda item called for directors to continue using the form. Schildhouse asked legal counsel Rebecca Andrews if the form was required. She confirmed that requests for agenda items must be submitted in writing and must be on a standardized form. Foote made a motion to bring the item back to the next board meeting to have the form incorporated into the legislative code of the board. It was approved 3 to 0, with Schildhouse voting “Present.” Another item on the agenda covered Schildhouse’s written reply acknowledging a letter he received from legal counsel Jim Gilpin. When Beck asked for further explanation, Schildhouse refused to go into details, stating, “I’m not going to address it. Thank you.” The business item to come before the board dealt with extending an option period for sale of an easement RMWD has with The Nature Conservancy on Rangeland Road in Highland Valley. The easement allows access to property previously purchased from the Conservancy by RMWD and is used as a spray field by the district. RMWD’s option to purchase the easement property for approximately $1.1 million has now been extended for another year until Aug. 8, 2015. It was approved by the board with a vote of 4 to 0. The next regularly scheduled board meeting will be at 2 p.m. July 22 at Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Ln. n

PACE Program to Help Homeowners Go Green
O
n July 9, San Diego County and city officials announced the launch of a new loan program that allows homeowners to reduce energy and water usage and save money, according to a statement from the office of San Diego County Board
of Supervisors Chairwoman Dianne Jacob. The PACE program eliminates the upfront costs for many energy-efficient and water-saving improvements while reducing a home’s operational expenses. It is available to many
homeowners with the help of HERO, a program offered by San Diego-based Renovate America. PACE loans approved through HERO and other lending programs are a low-interest, long-term and taxdeductible financing option repaid on a homeowner’s property taxes, providing an option for those seeking to finance energy-related upgrades. “This program makes it easier for many consumers to save money and go green, opening the door to more rooftop solar panels, more energy-efficient windows and other improvements,” said Jacob. PACE loans became available last week in the cities of San Diego, El Cajon and Escondido, and in unincorporated areas of the county. Carlsbad, Lemon Grove, Oceanside, San Marcos, Solana Beach and Vista launched similar initiatives earlier this year and have funded nearly $5 million in energy-saving projects. “The PACE program is a winwin for the consumers and our
environment. Homeowners will have a wide range of energy-saving products available to them — including solar panels — and will be able to pay for them on their property tax bill,” said Supervisor Dave Roberts. “Our environment benefits by our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas and energy consumption. Not only that, we are helping to jumpstart an important industry to create jobs in San Diego County.” PACE — “property assessed clean energy” — financing has been available to commercial property owners for years. The Board of Supervisors and the San Diego City Council took steps in April to expand it to homeowners. The program covers products such as heating and cooling systems, solar panels, and energy-saving windows and insulation. Homeowners repay the assessment over five, 10, 15 or 20 years through their property tax bill. Visit www.heroprogram.com or call 855-437-6411. n
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. 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. n

Shortly after taking office, Arpaio introduced mandatory pink underwear for the inmates, and brags, “I can get elected on pink underwear.” He has since extended it to include pink handcuffs.

Maricopa County houses 8,500 inmates in seven facilities, including “Tent City” that Arpaio started in 1993. At one point, Arpaio transferred 2,000 illegal immigrants from his prison to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Even though the prisoners were to be deported, Arpaio said he has documentation that 37 percent of the prisoners later returned to the United States and were arrested by his deputies for committing “serious crimes.” “They have come back over and over again,” he said. “We’ve got the proof of people being let out of jail and keep coming back.” Arpaio said he has notified the proper agencies in Washington, D.C., and requested an investigation, but to no avail.
