Ramona Country Fair is a Crowd PleaserBy Annette Williams ~ the journal

The Ramona Country Fair, presented by the Ramona Chamber of Commerce

from July 30 to aug. 2, is always a crowd pleaser and enjoyed by all ages.

It is sure to attract attention its new west-end location at the corner of Highway 67 and Highland Valley Road. Parking at the site — known as “monu-ment corner,” for the impressive “Welcome to Ramona” sign — is going to be a lot better, and closer to the fair’s activities and events, according to co-chair

Sally Westbrook, who notes that the new location has a very roomy feel.

Carnival rides by Christiansen amusements are a Country Fair tradition, along with a midway of games, a vari-ety of contests, a beer garden, american and international foods, music and entertainment, as well as business, arts and craft vendors.

“I really want people to come out and enjoy the enter-tainment and relax,” Westbrook says. “The entertainment is huge this year, and we’ll have a cool-ing center to relax in. We’ve

thought of all the details.” entertainment choices are

always impressive, and this year is no exception. Friday’s high-lights are the electrifying rock bands Gone Blonde, Girl in the middle, and Farm Truck. The Saturday lineup will include a Bluegrass Festival at noon, with the Shirthouse Bluegrass Band, Chris Clarke & Plow, Box Canyon, High mountain Road and Sunny Side Strings. Performing Saturday evening will be the swing and jazz band Fanny & The atta Boys, and the popular country-western band Southbound Jonny. The Ramona

Community Singers will take the stage on Sunday, which is also mexican Heritage Day, com-plete with folkloric dancers and a mariachi band.

There will be no shortage of hometown competitions. Look for winners of the Foto Friday photography contest to be announced at 5 p.m. on Friday, July 31.

on Saturday morning, entries of jams and jellies, pickles, jerky, honey and salsa are welcome for the Home Sweet Home Country Canning Contest, which was a big hit last year. There is no cost to enter.

Judging will begin at noon, and winners announced at 5 p.m.

Fair hours are Thursday, 5 to 10 p.m.; Friday, 5 to 11 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. admission is free, and parking is $5 per carload.

“It’s going to be fun!” Westbrook promises. “It’s not going to be expensive — just a weekend for the family, with great entertainment for all ages.”

Thad Clendenen is taking another leap forward in his career in real estate, where he is a partner with his mother, Karen Clendenen, at Century 21 Award. This next step in his real estate career is a new leadership role at the

Century 21 Award Ramona branch. “I was raised in the business, since my mom has been selling real estate since I was 10 years old,” he says.

“Ironically, seeing her work the long hours and keep up with the intense work schedule that the business demands, I always said I would never sell. Never say never.”

Thad has been selling real estate in Ramona since 2006, and he has always been a natural leader, both in the community and in the real estate industry. His vast background, ranging from serving in the United States Marine Corps and many years of management experience, make him a perfect fit to lend his unique skill set to the Ramona office.

His insatiable work ethic, commitment to clients and strong adherence to the guiding principles instilled in him by his parents and his military service will help take Century 21 Award’s Ramona Branch to the next level.

Thad loves Ramona and its people. “There is no other place like it in San Diego County. The people are real, they stick together and you build strong relationships here. I don’t sell homes, I serve people and consult them every step of the way in the home buying or selling process.”

Thad holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management with an emphasis on Marketing, and hopes to utilize those skills, along with his business acumen, to help his fellow agents at Century 21 Award achieve success and build strong, lasting relationships with clients, who trust their level of excellence and proven track record to help them through any real estate experience.

Thad says he is truly excited and honored to become the Branch Manager at Century 21 Award.

The Executive Leadership Team states, “We fully trust and believe that Thad will continue to earn the trust of his colleagues. He is the best leader to continue the positive momentum that drives the Realtors at Century 21 Award to be the best, as they continue to make Century 21 Award a success!”

Century 21 Award has 15 offices located throughout San Diego, Riverside and Orange Counties.

county Supervisor Tours Storm damage in San diego country Estates

By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

a weekend storm that brought more than four inches of rain to Ramona on the weekend of July 18 and 19

caused hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to numerous homes throughout Ramona. San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob toured San Diego Country estates on July 21 to assess the damages.

Jacob was accompanied on her trip to Ramona by two men from the County Department of Public Works, a man with the office of emergency Services and two members of her staff. Representing SDCe were mario Trejo, general manager; Cindy Dodson, association inspector; Jim Piva, association board president; and Chris anderson, local resident and realtor.

The group visited several homes in the area and spoke with the homeown-ers. Jacob said she was here “to see what we can do to help.” She encouraged the homeowners to fill out a form listing the damages sustained during the storm that will be used in assisting the county to apply for recovery assistance from state and federal governments. Jacob said the county will be applying for $11 million in financial aid.

The form can be found online at www.sdcountyrecovery.com and returned to [email protected]. Jacob

also encouraged homeowners to seek professional assistance in determining the estimate of the amount of damages.

“my concern with this is they (may) underestimate the damage,” she said, adding that the county will need an “accurate damage assessment” from the homeowners.

Copies of the forms will also be made available from local real estate offices, according to anderson, who is president

Looking at damage to the Murguia home are, from left, Supervisor Dianne Jacob, San Diego Country Estates Homeowners Association President Jim Piva, and owners Lisa and Anthony Murguia.

By Annette Williams ~ the journal

members of 4-H, FFa and the Grange are looking forward with anticipation to what this year’s

Ramona Junior Fair will bring. The fair, which began July 25 and

continues through aug. 1, doesn’t only mean animals, though they are an

important part. many club members demonstrate their skills in home eco-nomics and industrial arts, vying for ribbons in categories such as sewing, fine arts, agriculture, horticulture, photography, woodworking and more.

“This year, the theme for the fair is ‘Get Plugged In,’” says Junior Fair Board

Junior Fair Participants ‘Get Plugged In’member Crissy Tobiason. “What it means is encouraging the kids to market their projects via social media, like Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and emails. The kids are learning technology, going hand-in-hand with agriculture.”

By using social media, the young fair participants can answer buyers’ questions, such as, “What does it take to be a buyer?” and “What do I do with an animal I buy.”

“The information is coming to people that may be in the market but don’t really know how to be in the market,” she says.

When prospective buyers come to the fairgrounds, they’ll find young people who are ready to share the history of their animals and encourage multiple people to bid on them when they get into the ring. Tobiason says, “It takes two or three people to bid it up.”

Buyers simply sign up and get a number that allows them to bid at the auction, which is always action-packed.

“It’s a live auction, with a live auc-tioneer,” she says. “People are cheering, whooping and hollering, and getting excited when the bids are going on.”

auction buyers’ check-in is Saturday, aug. 1, at 11 a.m. at the Junior Fairgrounds, 431 aqua Ln. The auction for swine, rabbits, goats, chickens and sheep begins at 1 p.m. Buyers’ dinner is from 4 to 6 p.m. The auction of spe-cial-fed veal and beef is at 6 p.m., followed by the after-auction.

Tobiason says that the auction is a great source for good-quality meat animals.

“one of the things that is on people’s minds right now is eating healthy. They’re paying premium for organic meat in specialized markets.” She says that the meat from fair animals is better than what is available in organic mar-kets, and any price paid over the market value is tax-deductible. “It brings it down to an affordable level for exceptionally healthy meat.”

a good turnout is anticipated, as the young exhibitors auction their animals and raise funds to further their education.

Deb was available to me and the property for months before the home was listed... all without a contract... consulting about the extensive interior and exterior remodeling. She was always available by telephone and receptive to my early morning calls. Once we were under contract, her office stepped up and really helped expedite the process.

Her pricing was right on. The house went under contract in a matter of days. She per-sonally met with the appraiser for the lender to underscore support for the price as there were little or no comparable sales for this property. Go, Deb and Gloria for a job well done!

RMWD Directors Approve Hike in Ambulance, Paramedic FeesBy Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

Rates for ambulance services are undergoing an increase, for the first time since 2005. Ramona

municipal Water District Board of Directors unanimously approved the increase at its July 14 meeting.

Ramona Fire Department has the low-est rates in the county for emergency medical services. The average charges have been $751 for residents and $999 for non-residents. Fees in other districts run as high as $2,373 in Chula Vista for both residents and non-residents.

The rates apply only when medi-cal and ambulance transport services are provided and are not a monthly or annual fee. The rates differ for basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (aLS), as well as for residents and non-residents. Charges are less for people who are treated at the scene and do not require being transported to a hospital.

The base rate for BLS increases to $1,129 for residents and $1,318 for non-residents. aLS fees will now be $1,173 for residents and $1,362 for non-residents.

Jared andrade, emergency medi-cal services coordinator for Cal Fire in Ramona, said that for every $100 billed, about $90 is recovered. most bills are covered by private insurance carriers. andrade pointed out that 63 percent of the services provided are for customers on medicare or medi-Cal. Those agencies pay a set amount for the services provided.

“This is a not-for-profit business,”

Director Thomas ace said. “This is simply a public service. The board of directors has the responsibility to recover fees for the ratepayers.”

The ambulance and paramedic rates were last raised in november 2005. The fees were initially adopted in 1993. The board will now review the fees every two years.

There also is a subscription program available to local residents. For an annual fee of $65 (previously $36), everyone residing within a household is included in the coverage, regardless of the num-ber of people. There is a requirement that they have private insurance cover-age for emergency medical services, including medicare. The program, then, would pay the remainder. The annual fee is due each January but is prorated for those who sign up at other times of the year.

In other business, the board also heard a report from an outside firm, ClientFirst, on the information technol-ogy programs used by the district. The key findings were that many of the core infrastructure components are obsolete; the equipment is not on a replacement schedule; the Internet speed is an issue; and there is only one person on RmWD staff trained to take care of any problems that may occur.

The next regularly scheduled board meeting will begin at 2 p.m., aug. 11, at Ramona Community Center, 434 aqua Ln. It will include a public hearing on proposed rate increases for water customers. n

and one for for mud, silt and rocks. Sites will be in operation every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., including weekends. “It is anticipated they will stay through aug. 23,” she stated, adding that the county will re-evaluate and extend if

Safe, Natural Birth with a Licensed Midwife


By Jim Evans ~ the journal

Tropical storm Dolores unloaded on Southern California, leaving San Diego County — and Ramona —

with the wettest July in recorded history. according to the national Weather

Service, Ramona officially recorded 3.45 inches during four days of thun-derstorms, including a staggering 2.96 inches on Sunday, July 19, that flooded roads and buildings and damaged roofs. other nWS reports showed that more than four inches had fallen in Ramona. Water and debris were flowing every-where, cars were stalled, and roads were overflowing with mud and rocks.

The California Highway Patrol reported cars underwater at 11th and main streets, and both sides of the 26000 block of old Julian Highway east of Ramona near the Cleveland national Forest were blocked by debris. The CHP reported at least a dozen accidents in Ramona on Sunday alone.

“I was just driving down one of the side streets in town when, all of a sud-den, my car started hydroplaning, and I ended up in somebody’s front yard,” said Ramona resident Jeremiah Fish. “It took me an hour just to dig my car out. I’ve lived in Ramona all of my life, and I’ve never seen so much rain at one time.”

on the road most of Saturday and Sunday traveling from Ramona to Santa maria and back.

“We heard the thunder at

home Friday night — some-thing we hadn’t heard since we grew up in the midwest — and it just went on and on. It was just sprinkling when we left

for Santa maria late Saturday morning, but it rained cats and dogs almost all the way back to Ramona on Sunday,” she recalled.

When evans returned home, she found it undamaged. But others were not so fortunate.

The home of Luis and Imelda Gonzalez in San Diego Country estates sits at the highest point at the base of a steep hill on Rutherford Road, where they have lived for the past 10 years.

“We had left the house about noon on Sunday, and everything was fine,” said Imelda Gonzalez. “But we returned three hours later to a river of water, mud and debris cascading down the hillside toward our home, con-suming everything in its path. The garage door was pushed in from all the debris and buried my husband’s car inside. We just stood there and watched, because there was nothing we could do to stop it.”

Their two-story home was engulfed in a giant mudslide that quickly covered all of the landscaping and most of the first floor, including the kitchen and sunken living room.

“It was a flash flood,” accord-ing to Gonzalez family friend Dawn nielsen Perfect, who has been working with a team of friends, family members and volunteers to help clean up the damage. “It was raining so hard that a virtual river of mud was pouring down the hill faster than we could shovel it out. and there was really no place

Ramona Teams Run Down the World SeriesBy Tracy Rolling ~ the journal

Two Ramona baseball teams aren’t just imagining what it would feel like to make

it to the Super Regionals in Whittier, Calif. They’re getting ready to experience it.

The Ramona PonY Baseball League 12-and-under team (12U) and the 14-and-under (14U) team have secured a spot at the Super Regionals — only two tournaments away from the PonY Baseball World Series.

“Personally, I knew these kids could do it,” said 12U manager Dave Schreiber. “They have the talent, but I just wasn’t sure if they had the heart and the drive.”

Schreiber describes a monu-mental moment that occurred last month at the sectionals, when the team experienced a

loss in the first game of a five-game series.

“We came back and won the next four games,” he said, tell-ing how the kids demonstrated resilience and heart, and walked away with the second-place trophy.

“even when we were down four-nothing in the sixth, the kids fought hard and got a grand slam at the top of the seventh to go on and win the game.”

Leveraging eight years of managing and coaching experience, he knows what a difference leadership makes and acknowledged the efforts of coaches Tony Romero and Jeff Reese.

as manager, Schreiber is responsible for setting the lineup, assigning field positions,

conducting practices and, basically, running the team. His coaches help out and give input to ensure the team’s overall success.

“Luckily, we agree most of the time,” said Schreiber.

Crediting all of the parents for their commitment and encouragement, he says the team is 13-5 in the season, which officially kicked off memorial Day weekend dur-ing the RBI (Ramona Baseball Invitational) Tournament.

With a 12-3 record, 14U manager Tim Knowd said, “This is a great group of kids to work with. They are strong, talented and fun to be around.”

Having just finished his 10th season of coaching and manag-ing, he knows what it’s like to go to the Super Regionals.

“once in the mustang divi-sion and again in Broncos — when we made it to Zone,” he said.

This year is different, though, because when the pressure gets high, the kids step up.

“Some players get nervous. In fact, all of them get nervous, to a degree. But this team thrives during intense game situations.”

appreciative of supportive parents and grateful for the contributions of Coach Jim Reardon, Knowd applauds the league, saying, “They have been outstanding to work with. The board of directors have been supportive and did an excellent job recruiting teams from all over San Diego and even Los angeles to participate in the RBI Tournament.”

Wayne Rhea and Keith Cochen-our saw a need in Ramona and decided to act on it.

The two entrepreneurs and gun aficionados opened their store, ammo Unlimited, at 1130 D St., Ste. 2, on June 13, 2014, and business has been booming ever since.

“We noticed that it was difficult to find certain types and quantities of ammunition in the community,” says Rhea. “We were able to find sources who were willing to provide quanti-ties of high-demand and unusual ammo, which led to the opening of our store.

after being in business for a few months, we realized that there was also a great demand for new and used gun sales, so we applied for — and obtained — our federal firearms licenses. We now sell guns, ammunition and accessories and assist customers with private party transfers.”

The longtime Ramona residents met through mutual friends awhile back and realized they shared a common inter-est in guns and ammo. Rhea grew up in mississippi, where he experienced firearms at a young age. Cochenour had a similar experience growing up with firearms as a youngster. He is a retired

national City police officer. In addition, both share a military background.

“We carry a wide range of ammuni-tion for every use, including everything from ‘reman’ (remanufactured) ammo to the high-level PnW ammo used by special forces and top competition shooters,” says Cochenour. “We also carry a variety of handguns and rifles and do special orders of both guns and ammunition.”

The company also sells accessory items, such as pepper spray, stun guns, military-style ammo boxes, range bags, knives, targets and survival-wear, and promotional items such as T-shirts and hats.

“We are very pleased with the

response to our business so far,” says Rhea. “It has been overwhelmingly positive, and customers are excited that we are able to locate ammunition that they have previously had a difficult time locating.”

ammo Unlimited has seen a sharp increase in female traffic, as more women have been purchasing handguns for self-defense. Customers range from 18 to 80 and include shooters with diverse interests that include hunting, target shooting, skeet and personal protection.

Supervisors Challenge Refusal to Land Newest Air Tankers in Ramona

according to a statement issued July 20 by San Diego County Supervisors Dianne Jacob and Bill

Horn, “The U.S. Forest Service is refusing to fly its newest air tankers in and out of Ramona air attack Base — and the Board of Supervisors may turn to the White House for help.”

on July 21, the supervisors unani-mously decided to appeal the decision to the obama administration, as proposed by Horn and Jacob. With the

high-risk fall fire season approaching, they say flying the next-generation tankers in and out of Ramona could help save lives and protect property.

The Forest Service claims the rural base — the region’s aerial firefighting hub — can’t handle the tankers.

County and state fire officials disagree, noting that Cal Fire tested the same type of tanker here in mid-July, and reported no problems. n

Touching Drama Tackles Both Sides of a Sensitive IssueBy Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

Loss of a loved one touches everyone in a different way. Sudden death, culmination of a long illness, or a planned departure — it makes a difference.

Playwright Jane anderson touches upon all three of these scenarios in her poignant drama, “Quality of Life.”

Set in modern day, Bill and Dinah are grieving the sudden loss of their adult daughter who was murdered. They make a trip to another state to visit Dinah’s cousin, Jeannette, and her cancer-stricken husband, neil, who recently lost their house in a fire. When neil’s time comes, Jeanette plans to go with him. They have already chosen the date.

morbid? no. Heartfelt? Yes. The pros and cons to this story are brilliantly portrayed by

the actors: Tom Stephenson as Bill; maggie Carney as Dinah; Deanna Driscoll as Jeanette;

Ramona Teams Continued from page 12

the seventh, both teams were scheduled to go to bat on Thursday, July 23. From there, the top two teams will go to Zone, competing against clubs from the Western states, including Hawaii, Washington and arizona.

after that, the top four teams from the United States will go

up against the top four teams from asia and the Pacific in the PonY Baseball World Series.

Lisa Pietila, the mother of a player on the 12U team, put it this way: “We are so excited and proud of these boys for making it this far! The Super Regionals are a really big deal, and they have all worked hard, includ-

ing the coaches and manager, to get to this point. The major-ity of boys have played ball on the all Stars together for many years. They are beyond thrilled to have earned this opportu-nity. I can’t wait to see how it will play out in Whittier and beyond!” n

and Jeffrey Jones as neil. Christy Yael-Cox directs.

Pros and cons of Christianity also come into play, as Bill tries to convince the other couple of the consequences of their deci-sion. It is definitely a play that will be long remembered after the final act.

“Quality of Life” is playing concurrently with Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” in productions by Intrepid Theatre Company at the Carlsbad Village Theater. Call 888-71TICKETS or visit www.theatre.org. n

Meatloaf with Mustard and Sour Cream GravyInGRedIentS3 strips bacon2 eggs1/4 cup ketchup2 tablespoons sour cream3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs2 tablespoons minced yellow onion

Mustard and Sour Cream Gravy:2 tablespoons butter1/2 onion, minced1 tablespoon all-purpose flour1 cup beef stock3 tablespoons sour cream1 tablespoon Dijon mustard1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauceKosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

dIReCtIonSPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F.Line the glass loaf pan with the bacon, centering the

strips lengthwise in the pan, letting the ends hang over the short edge.

Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl. add the ketchup and sour cream and mix. add the bread-crumbs, onions and garlic, stirring to incorporate, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. mix in the sausage, breaking it up to season the egg mixture evenly. mix in the ground beef, using your hands to mix gently but thoroughly. Press the meatloaf mixture firmly into the loaf pan with the bacon, shaping the meat into a loaf shape. Unmold the meatloaf by turning the pan upside-down, and tapping the bottom to release the meatloaf. Tuck the bacon under the loaf, and place it bacon-side up on a foiled or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the meat registers 160 degrees F, 50 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mustard and Sour Cream Gravy.

Mustard and Sour Cream Gravy:In a saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat,

add the onions and saute until the onions are soft, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on top of the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Turn up the heat to medium-high and whisk in the stock and 1/2 cup water. Cook at a simmer, whisking frequently, until the gravy begins to thicken. Turn off the heat and whisk in the sour cream, and then the mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Taste before adding salt and pepper. Serve on the meatloaf.

We use the most energy during the summer months. But you can do your part to save by running major appliances like clothes washers, dryers, and ovens before 11:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. Another tip is to set your air conditioner to 78 ,̊ or use a fan instead. Using a room or ceiling fan can lower cooling costs by up to 90%. You’ll not only save money, but you’ll be helping us reduce the need to tap into more energy. And that’s good for our region and the planet.

The Valley and Beyond . . . El Nino On The WayBy Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

Several members of the national oceanic and atmospheric administration

huddled after studying charts to predict a 90 percent chance el nino will visit this winter.

They’re almost sure enough to say we’ll be splashed with overdue rain, expected to flow into 2016.

obviously, since the recent four-inch hit, Ramonans aren’t thinking about more water. They’ve spent a good deal of time cleaning debris and repair-ing damage.

nevertheless, there’s plenty of time to gear up for what could be a repeat of the 1997-98 storms.

The experts say el niño is gaining steam in the Pacific ocean, and forecasters are now leaning toward it being a strong event.

That possibility is again raising the collective hopes of Californians that they may finally see some desperately needed precipitation to begin the slow recovery.

even if the el niño does become strong and stays that way through the winter, there’s another piece to California’s drought recovery puzzle that isn’t guaranteed. one reason is the lack of a healthy snow pack in recent winters.

The drought is one of truly historic proportions, they say, that was the result of year- after-year dryness. Because it took multiple years to dig such a deep hole, it’s going to take

several to fill it back in.“California would probably

need to experience its wettest year on record, by a fairly wide margin, to erase ongoing deficits in a single year,” one noaa member wrote on his blog. “While it’s not physically impossible, that would be a very tall order, indeed.”

An Ear For Music “Without music, life would

be a mistake.”That’s a profound quote I

ran across the other day. We can’t escape music, so enjoy it.

Different age groups find their niche while listening to the sounds around us. and why not? a little rock, some

classical moods or nostalgia will fill the air.

Background music sets scenes for drama, battles and Westerns for movies and television. It keeps you alert.

of course, there’s “elevator” music that drifts from speak-ers in restaurants and lounges. Conversation might block out

some of it, but it’s there.Unlike the days of the

jukebox, the selection is not up to you.

as a former musician, I might be an exception, as some can be a bit harsh for the ears. It’s probably selected by the cook. n

What Happens to my IRa after I’m Gone?

Contributing to an IRa can help you build some of the resources you will need to

enjoy a comfortable retirement. But what happens to your IRa if you don’t use it up in your lifetime?

You can still put the IRa’s assets to good use — as long as you’ve made the right moves and communicated your wishes clearly to your family.

When you opened your IRa, you should have named a ben-eficiary — someone who will receive the IRa assets when you pass away. You could also name a contingent beneficiary if the first beneficiary dies before you. These beneficiary designations are important because they can supersede the instructions left in your will.

If you name your spouse as beneficiary of your IRa, he or she has options unavailable to other beneficiaries. Here are two possibilities:

• Roll over assets into a new or an existing IRA — Your surviving spouse can roll over

your IRa’s assets into his or her IRa or use the money to create a new IRa. and, as long as your spouse is eligible, he or she can then add new contributions to the IRa. This could be a good choice if your spouse won’t need the money right away and would like to keep it in a tax-advantaged account for as long as possible. Upon reaching age 70½, though, your spouse will likely need to start taking with-drawals — “required minimum distributions” — unless the inherited IRa was a Roth IRa.

• Convert the assets to a Roth IRA — If you are leaving a traditional IRa to your spouse, he or she could roll over the assets into a new or an existing IRa and then convert the assets into a Roth IRa. This move gives your spouse at least two poten-tial advantages. First, if certain requirements are met, no taxes are due on the withdrawals. Second, as mentioned above, no withdrawals are even required — your spouse can leave the money intact for as long as

desired. However, taxes will be due on the amount converted to a Roth, so this conversion may only make sense if your spouse has enough assets available in a nonretirement account to pay the tax bill.

Thus far, we’ve just talked about your spouse as the ben-eficiary. But what might happen if you’ve named someone else — perhaps a child or grand-child — as the primary benefi-ciary of your IRa? In this case, the beneficiary won’t have the option of rolling over the IRa. Instead, he or she can either

take the money as a lump sum or take distributions over time. If you pass away before age 70½, and you hadn’t started taking the required minimum distributions, your beneficiary must start taking withdrawals by Dec. 31 in the year follow-ing the year in which you pass away. These withdrawals can be stretched out over your benefi-ciary’s lifetime, though, spread-ing out the tax obligations. as an alternative, your beneficiary can delay taking distributions, but he or she would need to withdraw all the money within five years of your death.

When dealing with any aspect of your estate plans, including naming beneficiaries for your IRa, you’ll want to consult with your tax and legal professionals. You put a lot of time and effort into building the assets in your IRa — so you’ll also want to take care in how you pass these assets along. n

county Supervisor Tours Storm damage Continued from page 9

there is still recovery ongoing.anthony murguia said their

home and property received most of its storm damage when the fence behind their house collapsed, and debris rushed into the yard. He estimated the total damage at more than $100,000.

Houses on Sargeant, Spangler Peak, arena, Del amo, Rutherford and Georgios roads were heavily damaged, accord-ing to Dodson. She said none of

the homeowners will be fined for their properties now being out of compliance with association rules and regulations.

an appeal will be made to Ramona municipal Water District for breaks on custom-ers’ water bills for the home-owners who will be using excessive amounts of water in the cleanup process and in refilling their swimming pools. Trejo estimated 100

swimming pools are now filled with muddy water.

no one was at home at the Gonzalez residence on Sunday afternoon when the storm was at its heaviest. Yolanda Gonzalez said she received a frantic telephone call from her mother when her parents returned home.

“They came home to it,” Gonzalez, who lives in Ramona, said. “my mom called me hysterically. neighbors were already here. It’s something you never think you’ll see.”

The interior of the house was covered in about two feet of mud. “You couldn’t even see the floors,” she said. all of the furniture had to be removed from the house.

a friend with a backhoe assisted with removing mud from their steep driveway and around the exterior of the house. other family members and friends came to their aid, pitching in to help wherever needed. n

While austin Dillon’s wild ride at Daytona on July 5 might be considered by naSCaR as an

exception rather than the rule, such violent crashes are happening often enough to draw concern.

and spectator safety should be an issue. This time, five fans sustained non-serious injuries.

Daytona officials had moved the spectator seats back a few feet, but the debris spewing into the stands from Dillon’s car shows fans are still in a danger zone.

Two years ago, Kyle Larson went hard into the catch fence at the conclusion of a nationwide Series race in Daytona. His engine became embedded in the fence, and 28 spectators were injured from debris, some seriously.

The danger of flying racecars is mainly at Daytona and Talladega Superspeedway. With the 31- to 33-degree high banks of these tracks, the speed increased over time to unsafe levels.

naSCaR safety advances have, with a few exceptions, come on the heels of tragic incidents. They include five-point safety harnesses, fuel cells, on-board fire

extinguishers, purpose-built racing seats, soft-wall technology and head and neck restraints. and a sturdy catch fence.

To reduce speed, naSCaR put restric-tions on the air intake to slow down cars in the 1980s. But the result was lap after lap of cars running in packs.

Drivers draft with other cars and jockey for position, especially in the late stages of a race. one wrong move can trigger multiple-car crashes, such as the 400 in Daytona on July 5.

“I’m really proud of the fact that the fence worked,” Daytona President Joie Chitwood III told reporters. “We will take this situation. We will learn from it. We will analyze it.”

The last driver to lose his life on the track in naSCaR’s Sprint Cup (or nationwide) Series was Dale earnhardt Sr. at Daytona in 2001.

Ford-Chevy Rivalry Some years ago the lines were drawn.

You were either a Ford or Chevy guy.It hasn’t changed much. It’s either

Ford mustang or Chevy Camaro.The Chevy guys may not like it, but

according to some reports, the mustang has blown past the Camaro as america’s best-selling pony in June. The scorecard

Fan Safety is a ProblemBy Johnny McDonald

Behind the Wheelwas 11,719 to 8,611 cars.

The Camaro stayed ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. However, the Camaro posted an 11.5 percent sales improvement in com-petition, arguably stronger than at any time since the 1970s muscle-car era.

Comparing sales performance, mustang leapt 53.6 percent, and the Challenger’s gain was 56 percent.

Chevy is launching a new-generation Camaro this year that’s more than 200 pounds lighter and offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option.

The new mustang, which went on sale last year, is lighter and faster. It offers a 2.3-liter ecoBoost four-cylin-der, which Ford has credited for the mustang’s recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car’s sales, Ford ana-

lyst erich merkle said.

Those Chrome and Fin DaysFor many of us, our earliest memories

are in the years following World War II, when cars were accentuated by a lot of chrome and fins.

If you’d like to return to that era, drop by the San Diego auto museum in Balboa Park. all that’s a’glitter will be on its floor this summer.

The result is a smorgasbord that cre-ates a flood of emotion as we look back at 1950s, an era with a rich legacy of people, politics and culture.

From the post-war, modern curves of Bob’s Big Boy to the ‘50s fantastic fins at the drive-in, we can again experience the romance and mystery of that unique time in american history. n

What do you think of the Bible? For that matter, what does the Bible say

about itself? Does it tell us how we are to think of it? another way of putting this question is to ask, “What is the biblical view of the Bible?”

It is a very important ques-tion to have settled, because in some ways it is foundational to everything else in the Christian faith and life. Your view of Scripture determines how you will approach the Bible, and how you approach the Bible has far-reaching implications for practically every aspect of our lives.

I think it may be helpful to devote a number of these

columns to this and related questions. So if you have a question on the topic of Scripture that you would like to see addressed in the future, send an email to the contact below.

When it comes to the bibli-cal view of the Bible, the place to start is the inspiration of Scripture. 2 Tim. 3:16 says, “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God . . .” (nKJV).

We often use the word “inspiration” to describe a motivating force or emotion. We sometimes speak of being inspired to do something, or feeling inspired by a work of art or a beautiful sunrise.

But that is not the idea the

apostle Paul is conveying in the above verse. For all of Scripture to be “given by inspiration of God” is for it to be (as the eSV translation puts it) “breathed out by God.”

What do you normally do when you speak? You exhale, or breathe out. What Paul is essentially saying is that the Scripture — all of it — is noth-ing less than the very Word of God Himself! What the Bible says, God says. and that changes everything.

That the Bible is the Word of God means we need to sit up and pay attention to what it says, and it means we need to give heed to what it says about everything it addresses. This should certainly supply us with ample reason and motivation to read it, study it, believe it and obey it.

The fact that God has com-municated to fallen humanity at all should astonish and amaze us. He has not left us in the dark about Himself or about the way to be made right with Him through faith in Jesus Christ, and that should fill us with gratitude and praise. n

to put it, anyway. The swimming pool was completely filled with mud, with sticks and debris on top, and the driveway was inun-dated with more than four feet of mud, completely blocking access to the garage. We finally had to bring in a bulldozer to clear away enough of the mud to get the car out of the garage. It is a terrible mess.”

Damage to the Gonzalez home has been estimated at $50,000 to $80,000. Since they did not have flood insurance, a “flood fund” has been started at www.gofundme.com/ztg5qk to assist them with their recovery efforts.

Rick Vaca of Vaca’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaners has been up to his knees — literally — vacuuming mud and water from local homes and businesses after the heavy rains.

“It has been absolutely heart-breaking,” said Vaca. “We are seeing whole houses flooded with several inches of mud and debris, and the look of shock and bewilderment from some of the homeowners is just tragic. The damage is bad enough but, in many cases, they don’t know how they are going to pay for it, because they don’t have flood insurance to cover it. on the plus side, it has been

encouraging to see so many neighbors and friends coming together to help each other during this difficult time.”

Christine Prater, better known as The Carpet Lady, has been swamped with calls since Sunday’s deluge.

“People have really been traumatized,” she said. “They just didn’t expect something like

this to happen in Ramona, of all places. There is just water and debris everywhere in people’s homes, and even fences and other structures couldn’t stop it. You can see the shock in people’s faces. They don’t know how to fully grasp everything yet, but everyone is working fast and furious to get things back to normal.”

amber Ramirez of Farmers Insurance empathizes with residents who have suffered damages from the storm. Her phone has been ringing off the hook from customers wanting to know if their property insur-ance covers flooding or how to purchase flood insurance for the next eventuality.

“Flood insurance is optional,” said Ramirez. “and we always present it to people at the time they purchase their property insurance. However, they usu-ally opt out of it since the

chances of flooding in Ramona is so remote. I understand completely, because it’s an additional expense that may never pay for itself, even though peace of mind might be worth the additional investment. Times like this are always difficult for us because we are in the busi-ness of helping people when these things happen. But unless

someone has flood insurance, conventional property insur-ance simply won’t cover flood damage.”

Dolores was an eastern Pacific cyclone that diminished into a post-tropical storm by the time it slammed into Southern California from Baja California, bringing much-needed pre-cipitation accompanied by an unprecedented barrage of thunder that seemed to roll on forever. There were nearly 1,800 lightning sight-ings recorded by the national Weather Service in San Diego, of which a reported 528 hit the ground.

Dolores Rains Down Continued from page 11 rainfall more than doubled the record 1.03 inches logged at Lindbergh Field on Saturday that broke San Diego’s rainfall record for the entire month of July, dating back to 1850. neighboring Santa Ysabel recorded 3.75 inches, and Julian, 5.08.

Skies were overcast off and on the following monday, as the precipitation moved northward, marking the end of the rain-fall. But evidence of the storm lingered on main Street, with puddles noticeable on almost every street corner and workers busy throughout the commu-nity, patching roofs and cleaning up the debris.

The forecast shows no rain for the immediate future, but

the lingering heat and humidity will remind us of Dolores for weeks to come, while the community cleans up from the damage.

Ramona residents who have experienced damage from the storm may complete a dam-age survey form issued by the office of emergency Services, which will allow the county to assess damage estimates to determine whether or not there are enough total damages to qualify for federal disaster assistance — especially for those who might be uninsured or underinsured.
