Ramona — The Edge of Two WorldsBy Lara Jones

Precariously placed granite boulders dapple the scrub oak hillsides of Ramona,

where coyote trails twist through sagebrush and wild lilac. This is where I grew up. I am a lifelong resident of Ramona and spent much of my childhood exploring the natural wonders of our community.

I am now on a new adven-ture, pursuing my master’s degree in zoology with a focus on conservation biology through miami University. my

studies have taken me on exciting journeys, from living in the traditional ger dwellings of mongolia and observing the wild Przewalski horse, to trekking through the rain forests of Belize as howler monkeys curiously peer through the canopy.

next summer, I will be trav-eling to the Great Barrier Reef off australia to learn about the conservation of our precious oceans. much of my master’s program has focused on conser-vation efforts around the world,

with an emphasis on communi-ty conservation. Throughout all of these adventures, I couldn’t help but be drawn back to the hillsides of my community.

Living in a rural area such as Ramona has provided me with a unique lifestyle where I am able to have all sorts of animals in the backyard. Just the other day, the roosters’ alarms let me know right away we had a visitor: a bobcat sniffing around the chicken coop. a holler and a few claps of my hands were enough to send that bobcat on his way, leaving the chickens safe and sound.

Ramona sits on the edge of two worlds, where the mixing of country and city can be precarious at best. It requires a keen awareness to maintain the balance.

Ramona is described by the Community Planning area as encompassing approximately 83,995 acres and having an estimated population of 35,000. Within this territory of rural, residential and agricultural areas is a diverse and intermixed population of wildlife. This mix of humans and wildlife increas-es instances of human-animal interactions, which can be either positive or negative.

“Human-wildlife conflict” is a term applied to situations that involve any negative interactions between humans and wildlife. These negative interactions can affect either side, whether human needs are negatively affected by the needs and behaviors of wildlife, or wildlife suffer due to human behavior.

Studying the opinions and perspectives of individuals is an essential component of miti-gating human-wildlife conflict, according to the publication “Human Dimensions of Wildlife:

Wildlife are among the natural wonders that are abundant in Ramona.Photos by LaRa Jones


them into pests and/or making them sick. People can be aware of these consequences and still unknowingly contribute to it through practices such as spill-ing feed on the ground when feeding pets or livestock, not properly covering trash cans or providing inappropri-ately constructed

enclosures for pets and livestock. It is obvious that, as residents of

Ramona, we have a reverence for nature and find pleasure in its presence. Following the survey, several residents added their personal responses:

“I am thoughtful of their existence, and want to respect their space given they have so little of it. This question-naire reminds me that we need to coexist as best we can.”

“I enjoy the wildlife around me. I respect it. I believe anywhere you live, you need to be aware of your surroundings. There is wildlife everywhere.”

It is impossible to remove all instances of human-wildlife conflict. We live in a community where wild animals are as frequently seen as neighbors.

Finding ways to mitigate negative interactions, and even promote positive ones, will make our lives safer and our lifestyle sustainable. n

an International Journal.”To better understand the views and

opinions of my fellow Ramona residents concerning wildlife and its management, I conducted a survey.

as you might expect, the results of this study supported the assumption that wildlife plays an important role in the lives of Ramona residents. For 81 percent of survey participants, wildlife is one of the main reasons they choose to live in Ramona. When asked if they feed wildlife, 64 percent of all partici-pants replied yes. The majority of people either supplied water for wildlife or partook in feeding different bird species.

While Ramona residents enjoy the wildlife in the area, the survey allowed them to share where conflicts with wildlife exist in their lives. Forty- seven percent replied that they have

experienced problems with wildlife around their home within the last 12 months. These conflicts fit into four main categories: attack on pets and livestock (opossum, coyotes, squirrels, rattlesnakes, hawks and skunks); damage to garden or land-

scape (raccoon, squirrels, deer, gophers and rabbits); invasion of trash (raccoon, opossum, crows and skunks); and consumption of pet food (blue jays, raccoon, skunks and squirrels).

The survey also provided residents an opportunity to share how they feel about wildlife in terms of safety. overall, Ramona residents have a low perception of wildlife threat. The five animals with the highest perceived threat to human health and safety are coyotes, bobcats, rodents, mountain lions and snakes, with snakes believed to be the greatest threat.

encouraging wildlife around the home, whether intentional or uninten-tional, can potentially increase instances of human-wildlife conflict. not all wild-life should be fed, as feeding wildlife may be harmful to the animals, turning

She credited nau for lin-ing up the bands for the live entertainment, and Lewallen for putting together the Bluegrass Festival.

Paramedic Service a First at Intermountain Fire Station

The San Diego County Fire authority and Cal Fire announced a major

upgrade to fire and emergency medical services at the county’s Intermountain Fire Rescue De-partment station, located east of Ramona along Highway 78.

around-the-clock paramedic service was launched for the first time on July 1. new staff positions include a fire captain, two fire apparatus engineers and three firefighter paramed-ics. It is the first time in history that the station has been staffed at this level, according to a statement released by Kendal e. Bortisser, Cal Fire Captain and Public Information officer.

The upgrade is part of an overall effort to increase para-

medic capabilities throughout the County Fire authority’s ser-vice area. The new paramedic engine at Intermountain is the sixth that the authority has added over the past few years, joining engines operating out of the otay, Jamul, Lake morena, Pine Valley and Descanso stations.

“This is a big step forward in our backcountry and rep-resents our latest effort to bolster emergency medical services for residents across the region,” said San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob. “In the past dozen years, the county has invested more than $320 million on fire protection and emergency medical improve-ments, and bringing paramedic

support to Intermountain builds on that.”

In Ramona, the area sur-rounding the Intermountain fire station is well-populated and the highway, the main route to Julian and the back-country, is busy. Traffic-related incidents in the area require paramedic response and medical intervention.

“This is an exciting time in the evolution of County Fire,” said Tony mecham, Chief of Cal Fire San Diego Unit and County Fire.

The Intermountain fire station is located at 25858 Highway 78. Call 760-789-3710. n

Bookkeeping at ease

“Specializing in Quickbooks”

By Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

acquire a quality animal, spend several weeks feeding and grooming, and

then it’s ready for the challenge of the 44th annual Ramona Junior Fair, July 25 to aug. 2, at the Ramona outdoor Community Center Fairgrounds.

Blue ribbons are the ultimate achievements, and showmanship awards are important, too. entries come from not only Ramona, but also Poway, Fallbrook, escondido, Valley Center, Julian and Warner Springs.

Competition goes beyond animals. Home economics projects play key roles, too.

Brandon Hankins, a partici-pant for 13 years, might attest to that.

This 4-H member has been a grand champion with pigs and a steer, and in home economics, wood and metal workmanship and baking, He’s entering a steer he purchased in october.

It might be said he has high goals at Ramona High — as a pole-vaulter. He is the Valley League’s best, having cleared 12 feet, six inches as the champion.

“Three-quarters of my kids are entering for the second or third time,” said Crissy Tobiason, long-time Junior Fair board member and past president. “They start at an early age, like Brandon did at 5.”

Leadership plays an impor-tant role, and Tobiason named two girls who serve as 4-H and FFa liaisons to the fair board.

elective 4-H representative is Kaylin VanTol, a member of the Ramona Paisanos 4-H, who started when she was nine. The mountain Valley academy graduate was valedictorian of her 2015 class. She has raised two pigs for competition.

“at Del mar, I finished second in showmanship,” she said. Her swine was fifth in the blue-ribbon class.

Sarah Robertson is the FFa representative to the board. a Poway High School graduate, she has been raising a dairy goat, market turkey and market beef.

“all these kids are our

future,” Tobiason added. “The community needs to support them any way it can for their integrity and sportsmanship.”

Websites were updated with informa-tion on the processing of the animals and how much it takes to raise an animal for the fair. It’s the summation of hard work done by youngsters from 4-H, Grange groups and the Ramona High School Future Farmers of america program.

The main event will be the auction on aug. 1, when more than 200 animals are expected to go on the block, starting at 1 p.m.

To some, a good price on their animal will mean an investment in their educational future. For others, it will bring sorrow to let go of an animal that had become a family pet.

Judging can be precise, with measurements used for close calls.

For example, steers will receive a harsh, scrutinized eye by judges looking for sharp, clean withers; a straight, strong back; a long, level, wide rump; and feet and legs with a correct set. also, they should have a good spring of rib and be deep in the chest and rear flank. These are the qualities that can bring a good price at auction.

“The auction will be the culmination of the kids’ hard work to make some money they can put into their college funds,” said Robby Storton, president of the Ramona Junior Fair Board of Directors. “The auction made $183,272 last year. This was good, considering we had a down-pouring of rain right after the swine part of the auction.”

average prices per pound

last year were swine, $4.24; goat, $4.44; sheep, $4; veal, $3.25; and beef, $3.29.

The fair opens with small-animal competition on July 25, consisting of chickens, rabbits and dogs.

Goats, sheep, swine and steers will be quartered on July 26 and 27. opening ceremonies are scheduled for July 27.

Competition for goats and lambs will be held on July 28, swine on July 29 and beef on July 30. Round-robin competi-tion and a horse show are set for July 31.

Storton said entries will include 100 pigs, 20 beef, 60 sheep and 50 goats. In addition, there will be 10 turkey meat pens, eight chicken meat pens, 13 for the llama and alpaca group, and eight veal.

“enthusiasm and participa-tion continue to grow and are up since a few years ago when it hit an all-time low,” he said.

“We have many different leaders for the local groups and many volunteers for the Junior Fair,” he said, crediting the efforts of all who help make the fair possible.

Ramona Junior Fair will be held at 431 Aqua Ln. Visit www.ramonajuniorfair.com. n

Finding Zones of AmusementBy Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

amusement parks have been a happy part of life since the 1800s, with thrill

rides, carney shows, quick-order foods and an assortment of arcade games. The average family spends more money on these fun escapes than they might for a concert or athletic event. But who’s counting.

more of a bargain, of course, are hometown fairs, such as the annual Ramona Country Fair, set for July 30 to aug. 2.

“Coney Island: Visions of an american Dreamland, 1861-2008,” an upcoming exhibit at the museum of art, is another segment of this slice of americana that will be arrayed with artwork, photos and film clips starting July 11. The exhib-it will run until oct. 11.

“We are offering our visitors the chance to see an iconic american landmark from a new perspective,” said Roxana Velásquez, the museum’s maruja Baldwin executive Director.

“There are traces of Coney Island throughout San Diego in places such as Belmont Park and in Balboa Park’s history as a fairground, so it’s momentous to have the opportunity to see the artistic impact of a destination with such a rich past.”

The exhibit is composed of more than 150 objects, including celebrated icons of american art and rarely seen works from public and private collections.

“Showcasing an eclectic mix of drawings, prints, paint-ings, photographs, film clips and assorted artifacts such as carousel animals, this exhibition brings to life the excitement of Coney Island, which occu-pies not only a strip of sand in Brooklyn, but a singular place in the american imagination,” Velásquez added.

In 1902, the “Coney copy” Long Beach Pike amusement park was built. along its mile-long boardwalk were game arcades, pitchmen for side-shows, a movie theater that

also had vaudeville acts, a huge, dual-track roller coaster, a merry-go-round and a swimming pool named “The Plunge.” The arrival of the Queen mary ocean liner in Long Beach in 1979 was the city council’s reason not to renew the park’s land leases, and the structures were demolished.

San Diego entered the amusement business with the 1915-16 Panama-California exposition — its centennial celebrations are taking place this year.

a few years later, the com-pact Belmont Park fun zone was developed by sugar mag-nate John D. Spreckels, opening on July 4, 1925, as the mission Beach amusement Center.

attractions and rides that remain from the original park include the Giant Dipper, a wooden roller coaster, and The Plunge swimming pool.

Spreckels wanted more people to visit the park, so he had a streetcar line extended to

National Cowboy Day Celebrates Western Heritage

By Annette Williams ~ the journal

Cowboys have always found them-selves at home in Ramona, and what bet-ter way to celebrate the Western lifestyle than at the national Day of the american Cowboy, to be held July 25.

The free event, hosted by “Ranger Doug” oliver of Ranger Doug’s Shootists’ emporium, will include cowboy music from Sunny Side Strings and Sidewinder, poetry, displays of cowboy gear, reenact-ments, food, vendors, door prizes and an opportunity drawing for a 45 revolver.

“There are three reasons that I do this,” said oliver. “The first is because I

want to celebrate the cowboy culture, what it means to americans and how we all need to remember our heritage. If it wasn’t for cowboys, you wouldn’t be eating steak and potatoes. It’s also a fundraiser to benefit Ramona Town Hall, so donations are tax-deductible. and, it’s done to bring people to Ramona. So many times, people drive through town, but I want Ramona to be destination.”

The event is from noon to 5 p.m. at mountain Valley Ranch, 842 Highway 78. Three levels of sponsor-ships are available. Call 760-789-4867 or email [email protected]. n

School District Budget Tops $55 Million

By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

The governing board of Ramona Unified School District approved a $55 million budget for the 2015-16 school year at a special meeting held June 25.

assistant Superintendent David ostermann said the district maintains “a positive financial outlook,” predict-ing an ending balance on June 30, 2016, to be $5.3 million. The beginning balance on July 1, 2015, was set at $3.2 million. ostermann listed the following budget highlights during a PowerPoint presentation:

• Successful labor negotiations• Refunding of the 2007 certificates

of participation• Replacement of two transportation

buses• Support for facilities improvements

with full funding of the routine restrictive maintenance account

• Maintain a positive certificationostermann predicted that

expected changes in the state budget will have little effect on the RUSD budget. The changes will be reported at the next budget revision presentation. n

mission Beach. Later, during the big-band

era, the mission Beach Ball-room would feature the best, including Tommy Dorsey, who brought along a skinny singer named Frank Sinatra.

The pattern for amusement parks would be copied across

the country and used as foun-dations for Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Universal Studios and Six Flags. But before them all, the east and West Coast shorelines were a major source of entertainment for all who liked thrill rides. n


arch Health Partners was recognized last month for its achievement of elite status for 2015 California association of Physician organizations (CaPG) Standards of excellence.

CaPG is the largest asso-ciation in the country representing physician orga-nizations prac-ticing capitated, coordinated care. each year, the association assesses the tools and pro-cesses its mem-bers have in

place to meet escalating expec-tations of healthcare purchasers and patients.

The annual standards of excellence survey requires par-ticipating members to publical-ly report data across five rigor-ous category domains, including care management, information technology, accountability and transparency, patient-centered care, and group support of advanced primary care. additionally, it also surveys the administrative and financial capability category.

“Being the recipient of this award would not be possible without the unwavering com-mitment of our dedicated

physicians and staff,” said arch Health Partners executive Director Deanna Kyrimis. “This award is testament to our orga-nization’s putting patients at the forefront of all that we do. Being recognized for excel-lence speaks volumes about what arch Health Partners truly stands for.”

This is the second consecu-tive year arch Health Partners has received elite status from CaPG, and it has received the award three out of the last four years.

on Wednesday, July 8, my brain went on vacation, and as a result of that, I left my purse sitting in a shopping cart at Stater Bros. in Ramona. I left the parking lot and got about 10 blocks away when I realized my purse was gone.

I quickly returned to the store, and the cart was still there where I had left it, but not the purse.

I inquired at the store if it had been turned in, but no, it hadn’t. I went to the sheriff’s substation to report my problem, but the gates were closed for the night. I started my drive home to Julian, thinking about all the phone calls I needed to make. after my first call to a credit card company, the phone rang and it was a sheriff saying he had my purse. Someone had turned it in.

What a wonderful phone call that was and what a great feeling I had, knowing that there are still people out there who are honest, caring and helpful. I want to sincerely thank that person, whoever you are. You can’t imagine what your honesty meant to me. Thank you so much.

— Donna Lewis, Julian

now that school is out for the summer, it’s a good idea for parents to talk

to their children about staying safe when waste and recycling collection trucks are in the area. Safety precautions are especially important in the summer months, when chil-dren enjoy more time playing outside.

Drivers of waste manage-ment vehicles have come up with a number of practices designed to help keep children safe this summer:

• Learn the schedule of when service vehicles are in the area. Waste and recycling trucks, postal vehicles and other package delivery

services keep regular schedules within each neighborhood.

• Keep children away from vehicles. In addition to moving truck parts, debris can come out of the truck when its contents are being compressed.

• Waste management vehicles make frequent stops. Don’t follow the truck closely while walking, running, biking or skating.

• There are several areas where visibility is restricted for the driver. If you can’t see the vehicle operator’s eyes, the driver most likely can’t see you.

• Never cut in front of or stop suddenly in front of a service vehicle. It takes them about twice as long to stop as a passenger car, so always keep a safe distance.

• Back-up alarms are installed on every waste management truck. If you hear this sound or see the white back-up lights, be sure to move out of the way.

It only takes a few minutes to talk to children about these important safety pre-cautions. Remind them not only during the summer, but throughout the year. Help them have fun and avoid dangerous situations. n

I have bought and sold many homes throughout my life and have never experienced such a professional, objective and successful selling experience. Deb was very straightforward and honest in providing us guidance on what we needed to do to present our home in the best light. She was also very responsive to any concerns we had along the way. She also took the time to share with us in reviewing other properties in our neighborhood in the same price range, thereby allowing us to price the house accordingly . . . in the sweet spot. Bottom line, the house sold in one week. We are very pleased. We would absolutely do business with Deb Espinoza again and we highly recommend her to all of our friends.

A Swifter Way To StudyBy Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

Those Ramona students carrying laptops to class are charting a faster track in education and expansive

careers. Their future is online.“It’s not just for the gifted but for

those who are motivated,” said Dr. Sandra Thorpe, executive director of Juan Bautista de anza Charter School in Ramona.

JBda gives students the flexibility to learn at home with a curriculum that meets rigorous California state education standards.

although this is summer break, the “schoolhouse” across main Street from Stater Bros. has begun the enrollment process for the next semester that begins aug. 31.

Parents come in for an interview to discuss choices for prospective students.

“We intend to enroll 50 students, ranging from kindergarten to high school age. Teachers are tutors and education coordinators.”

Thorpe added, “We don’t accept failing students. We’re not a recovery type of school.”

education coordinators create an individualized plan for each student. This

plan is revised each semester in order to meet the student’s learning style, ability levels and career goals. advanced academics provides a rigorous univer-sity-approved curriculum, which can be modified for every student’s rate of mastery in each subject area.

JBda hires teachers holding California credentials. They are qualified experts in online instruction.

The charter system encompasses Riverside, orange, San Diego and Imperial Counties, under a public school sanction.

“We require our students to come to school four hours a day to take their classes online,” Thorpe said. “elementary kids come in the morning, and the high school age, noon to 4. It’s a matter of developing each child individually and at what educational speed.”

There can be some surprises. She said they had one student do a whole semester of math work in two weeks.

Students may redo assignments and retake tests for a higher score, according to the school’s website, www.jbdaonlinecharterschool.net. Teachers are encouraged to reset grades as students advance in their level of knowledge.

“Take a test again and improve a score,” Thorpe said. “Say they got an 89 in history. They might improve that to 90. That difference might give them a chance to get into college.”

In theory, why should they have to sit in a high school class for a semester when they can master the material in a month? not necessarily a higher-level student, but a higher-motivated student.

JBda students learn through Service Learning Projects and monthly field trips, and they gain leadership skills through the school’s Horse Wisdom classes.

“We do offer cultural field trips to Safari Park, art museums and visits to historic spots, often shared with 100 students from Salton City,” she said.

“We expect all of our students to be college- and career-bound, and we assist them in reaching their individual goals.” n

Studies show that kids can thrive when they receive an education that’s tailored to their unique needs. However, that’s not always an easy thing to come by.JBdA provides a blended learning program designed to meet the individual needs of every student. The content consists of mastery-based, core curriculum and electives. The students learn at their own pace using their learning styles (Dunn and Dunn).

“For years, it has been anticipated that when the baby boomers begin to retire, we will fall into a prolonged economic downturn,” says Bischel. “Technology and exporting labor are taking jobs away at a rapid rate. The population curve is parabolic, expand-ing at a rate never seen before in human history, and worldwide debt is out of control.”

The owner of survival property in Julian, Bischel formed the opinion dur-ing his career as a San Diego police

officer that many of our systems were breaking down.

“a study of solar science, ancient history, and the last 115 years of the petroleum age tells me that the human race is on an unsustainable path,” he says. “overpopulation, pollution, wars, current political conditions, nuclear weapons, fire danger, the tragedy of 9/11, the emergence of ISIS and, now, terror attacks in the U.S. means that we need to all be better prepared for

Survival Store Helps Residents Prepare for the WorstBy Jim Evans ~ the journal

Steve Bischel is not a pessimist. He is not a doomsdayer, either. But he is a realist. The owner of orion Precious

metals at 621 main St., Bischel is the kind of guy who likes to be prepared for any contingency.

orion Precious metals opened in December 2013, to provide bullion products selected specifically for long-term investment.

now, Bischel has added a new but in many ways parallel business — Survival Supplies — at the same

location, focusing on freeze-dried food (30-year shelf life), heirloom seeds, water filters, storage products, first aid supplies, tactical equipment, clothing, footwear, flashlights, radios, security lighting, camping equipment and more.

In other words, he has all the bases covered to survive a disaster, from precious metals to the nitty-gritties of day-to-day survival.

Bischel’s assessment of current conditions and vulnerabilities of our power grid, the state of our current financial and currency system, and overpopulation has prompted him to

He says that electricity, food, water, fuel and money all are “provided to us,” and that any disruption of these and other services could create chaos.

“Large cities and population centers are unsustainable in times of crisis,” he says. “The U.S. Geological Survey has told us that we are inevitably vulnerable to a large earthquake — the San andreas Fault is overdue for a major earthquake east of Ramona near the Salton Sea, and is expected within 30 years.”

He believes that people should strive to be independent of critical services.

Bischel is available to provide expert

advice to customers, many of whom, he admits, are already surprisingly well-versed on survival and have been privately prepping for years.

“essentials such as food and water are critical,” he says. “Home security and defense, power to operate wells, refrigeration, gardens, and networking with neighbors are other important considerations.”

If power goes out for an extended period of time, he says, “I want them to have an action plan in place.”

Survival Supplies is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Call Bischel at 760-440-0006. n

Do people who are married feel healthier than when they were single?

Several studies have con-firmed that being married is usually healthier, overall, than being single. But now

researchers have found that while marriage might healthier in some ways, it may not be so good for your shape.

a new study published in the journal Social Science & medicine involving 10,226 subjects in nine countries — both married and co-habiting couples — found that while married couples generally eat

better than singles, they also weigh considerably more and engage in less physical activ-ity. as a result, this increase in weight or body mass index (BmI) can be a risk factor in chronic illnesses, such as cardiovascular disease, high

blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, osteoar-thritis and certain types of cancer (colon and breast cancer, in particular), gallbladder disease and depression.

With very few differences, the results from every country surveyed showed the same results — couples have a higher BmI than singles regard-

less of gender. a BmI index between 25 and

30 is considered overweight, according to the World Health organization, and anything above 30 is considered obese. a normal body mass index is between 18.5 and 25. Currently, 68.8 percent of adults are con-sidered to be overweight or

obese, and more than one-third (35.7 percent) are considered to be obese. more than 1 in 20 (6.3 percent) have extreme obesity.

The average BmI of single men in the study was 25.7, compared to 26.3 for married men. The average BmI of single women in the study was 25.1, compared to 25.6 for married women.

“our findings indicate that couples are not healthier in every respect, as has previously been assumed,” says Jutta mata, lead author of the study and assistant professor of Health Psychology at the University of Basel.

The bottom line is that while married couples might be eating healthier than their unmarried peers, they are not as physically active. There’s that dirty word again: exercise. n

“Feel The Beat & move Your Feet” was the name of Ramona/Julian academy of Dance’s 28th dance recital held recently at the Poway Center for Performing arts.

The academy, now in its 29th year, is operated by Kristine Griffin and offers classes to both children and adults.

more than 300 dancers — including the dads for the special “Daddy and Daughter Dance” routine — were featured in the morning and afternoon shows. Throughout the day, 100-plus dance numbers were performed.

each show was unique, with the morning show presenting the preschoolers, beginners, teachers and junior competition teams, and the afternoon session showcasing the more seasoned dancers and advanced competition teams. The performing group and dads and daughters were a hit at both shows.

Dancers were outfitted in coordinating costumes for their routines. Costumes varied from classical ballet tutus and sparkly fairies, to sailor outfits, mermaids, jungle theme and arabian ballerinas. Dancers used trampolines and ribbons for a Cirque-style acrobatic number.

“We are also celebrating an awesome compe-tition season, and several of our teams left the day after the recital to compete at the Spotlight national Competition in Las Vegas,” said Griffin.

academy teams recently won awards for

kindness, most entertaining, showmanship, sportsman-ship and choreography at regional competitions.

“The training received at RJaD is superb,” said Griffin. “our dancers have been accepted to major ballet and dance companies in new York, Chicago, San Francisco, Connecticut and several other places.

“Several dancers have entered the profession-al entertainment field in both the Hollywood and Los angeles areas,” she said. “We are so blessed.” n

Remembering the Girl Next DoorBy tracy Rolling ~ the journal

There are so many little things you learn about a person after they’re gone — stories you hear, random

acts of kindness you experience and heartwarming moments that will forever leave an impression.

Such is the case of Ramona resident Tina mcallister.

Born Christina armstrong-Smith, Tina was raised in San Diego and gradu-ated from Grossmont High School in 1982. She was active in the high school flag corps, played competitive softball from 1979 well into her late teens, and

worked in retail management for many years.

“Tina wasn’t just a mom and wife, she was an amazing person,” said her husband of 16 years, michael (mike) mcallister.

He described how the couple met in February 1994, when real estate was booming. a new development in Scripps Ranch offered 12 recently constructed homes for sale.

“at the time, home sales were televised, and people would line up and even camp out just for a chance to buy one.”

a day before the sale, he found him-self third in line. Tina’s sister and brother in-law were two spots in front of him.

“When Tina stopped by to check on her family, I thought, ‘She’s cute.’”

mike and the couple wound up buying homes, and Tina rented a room from her sister in the house directly next door to mike’s.

Seven months later, on oct. 9, Tina’s 30th birthday, they started dating. In may 1999, they were wed.

“I literally married the girl next door.” In spring 2000, they moved to

Ramona, and a year later they celebrated the arrival of their son matthew (matt). In 2004, their daughter Jessica (Jess) was born.

“Tina was a great mom,” mike said. “She was super involved in the kids’ activities.”

“my mom was always there for me. When my dad and I would fight, I would go to her, and she would tell me, ‘Don’t listen to him,’” said matt, with a grin.

He remembers how his mom helped him with his homework, always drove him to school and to friends’ houses, and never missed any of his baseball, basketball or football games.

“She always encouraged me to try new things. Soccer or football, whatever it was, she would help me be the best I could be!”

as an incoming freshman at Ramona High School, matt will play football. The

freshman team announced that they will dedicate the upcoming season to the mcallister family.

RHS athletic Director Coach Damon Baldwin said, “I just met matt, so I don’t know him that well yet. From what I have witnessed, he is an incred-ibly strong young man and seems very mature for his age. He is handling this terrible situation the best that he can, and the Bulldog family will show matt all our love and support as he and his family take the day-by-day steps to go forward. It’s obvious that matt’s parents have raised an outstanding young man, and we hope to help him through this in any way we can.”

Believing his mom is watching over him from Heaven, matt is determined to do his best on and off the field. Jess is, too.

Shyly she said, “There is no favorite memory of my mom — I love them all.”

She said she will particularly miss her mom hiding easter eggs, decorating the gigantic, fresh-cut Christmas trees they picked out every year, and celebrating Halloween, her mom’s favorite holiday.

In addition to participating in the Ramona Relay for Life for the past sev-eral years, Tina was a big-time Chargers fan, holding season tickets for more than two decades. She loved to travel and visited more than 40 states. as a volun-teer with the mt. Woodson elementary School PTa for the past eight years, she used her love of photography to help create the school yearbook.

“She brought it to a whole new level,” said mike, describing his beloved wife as extremely organized, always on time, never sick and someone who could plan a party at a moment’s notice.

“Tina, with her personal touches, could turn an ordinary occasion into a celebration,” said her sister, Shelly ebright. “This is a perfect example of how she lived her life.

“even though she was private at times, she loved her friends deeply,” said mike, telling how he’s heard so many

stories he never knew from friends, old neighbors and even the family hairdresser.

Tina peacefully passed away on June 17, two days after she was diagnosed with cancer.

Her mother, Joanne Smith, said, “We were blessed she didn’t suffer.”

Services were held the second week of July at St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Poway.

Besides mike, matt, Jess and Callie — the family cat who was Tina’s favorite pet — she is survived by her father and stepmother, David and ophelia Smith; mother, Joanne Smith; stepfather, Tom Hutchens; sister and brother-in-law, Shelly and Brad ebright; as well as an entire village of friends.

mike publically said goodbye to Tina on Facebook, sharing, “Tina, I don’t know how this works, but if you can read this (or have been looking over my shoulder), know that I am the luckiest man in the world for having met you, marrying the girl next door, having two wonderful kids, and sharing my life with you for the past 21 years. If I thanked you every second of every day for the rest of my life, it would not be enough for the love and kindness you have given me. I miss you terribly and love you with all my heart, mike.” n


Jewelry World Moving to New DigsBy Jim Evans ~ the journal

Is there anyone in Ramona who has not seen the familiar vintage 1937 Chevy truck

parked around town at differ-ent events and frequently on main Street? That iconic truck is, of course, synonymous with Jewelry World & Loan, located at 14th and main streets and a mainstay in Ramona for the past 30 years.

That is about to change. The address, that is.

The popular business, named

the 2013 Business of the Year by the Ramona Chamber of Commerce, will be moving from its current location at 1338 main St. to a new store-front location farther west at 1668 main St., Ste. F, next to Rite aid in the Stonegate Plaza, aka Stater Bros. shopping center, effective aug. 1.

“our current lease was expir-ing anyway,” said Kathleen Cole, co-owner with her husband, Tom. “The time was right, and we expect the new location to provide greater exposure,

more traffic and, potentially, attract a whole new clientele to complement our current customer base.”

“We’ve been at this location since 1999,” adds Tom. “and there is a lot to move in a short period of time.” He laughed, gesturing to the dozens of shelves packed with inventory from the past 16 years.

“This will be the real chal-lenge,” he chuckled, pointing to a massive safe about the size of a small car.

Jewelry World & Loan has been serving Ramona since 1985, when they opened their original store at 1530

main St. in the mcDonald’s shopping center before moving to their current location. over the years, they have developed a reputation for outstanding customer service and quality merchandise, including new jewelry, vintage and estate jewelry, Black Hills gold, loose diamonds and gems, together with an extensive coin and bullion department.

Repairs are performed onsite by Sandra Wheeler, a GIa-certified jeweler who is qualified to solve any customer repair problems and identify precious stones. Watch battery replacement and watch band adjustments are also available, with same-day service.

In celebration of the up-

coming move, JW&L is offering a huge moving sale — a “sale of all sales” — with 30 to 70 percent off during the month of July in preparation for their offi-cial grand opening gala some-time in august. Jewelry World & Loan loves to throw a party, so look for free prizes, food, a ribbon-cutting and fantastic grand opening discounts.

oh, the truck? The fate of the vintage truck is still undeter-mined. They probably won’t be able to bring it to the new location, but they will still offer it to local fundraising events when needed.

In 1852, John mulkins (1807-1852), his wife, Sarah Water-house mulkins (1817-1902),

their family of five children and Sarah’s parents left Iowa by oxen team. But John never made it to California, as both he and his mother-in-law died on the trail about 200 miles out of Salt Lake City after drinking wa-ter said to have been poisoned by Indians. His father-in-law died later at Salt Lake City.

Upon completing the jour-ney to California in 1852, Sarah and her family of five children — andrew, Loanna, John Wesley, Jane and Loduska — settled in the pueblo of Los angeles.

Sarah met James Ruler Lassator, and they were mar-

ON MEMORY’S BACK TRAIL

By Darrell Beck ~ the journal

The LassaTor and MuLkins FaMiLy Toil, Tragedy and sorrow

on the Frontierried Feb. 19, 1854. They didn’t remain in Los angeles, as adven-ture and fortune beckoned from a faraway place on the edge of civilization.

During this remarkable period of history, California was just beginning to be explored, surveyed and settled by miners, ranchers, fortune seekers, des-perados and all kinds of new-comers, many of whom came in on the Southern emigrant Trail through the southwest deserts and over the coastal mountains. The portion of the trail cross-ing the extremely arid desert from Fort Yuma to Warner was probably the most difficult and treacherous of the entire trail, with stations about 10 to 20 miles apart.

In 1854, James Lassator had heard of this trail where many people passed by regu-larly and moved his new wife and adopted family to the old adobe Vallecito Stage Station

that was located on the trail at Carrizo Creek, at the base of the Laguna mountains. They fixed up the place and began accom-modating the needs of weary travelers, who often stopped to rest, get water and feed for their exhausted animals, and ask about trail conditions.

Shortly after settling at Vallecito, Lassator learned from the Indians of another moun-tain trail leading from the des-ert through oriflamme Canyon into the Laguna mountains, and it was probably at this time that he first got a glimpse of the mountain meadows where he would later settle.

oriflamme was an old Indian trail used by the Yuma Indians who traveled via the Carrizo corridor through the moun-tains to trade with the villages on the coast. The trail was also known to the explorer Don Pedro Fages and his men, who used the trail on several occa-sions from 1772 to 1785, and who called it “el Camino de San Diego.” It was later attempted by Joseph Swycaffer and Sam Warnock, who carried military dispatches and mail between San Diego and Fort Yuma from 1854 to 1857.

In 1857, Lassator and his

stepson John Wesley mulkins followed the oriflamme Canyon trail into the mountains, where they decided to take up a pre-emption claim of 160 acres of “government land” at a place they called Green Valley, or Canada Verde. Here at the west bank of Cold Spring Creek and near the headwaters of the Sweetwater River, the two built a permanent home for the family.

The house was described in “Lassator’s in Green Valley,” by Hero eugene Rensch, who noted that the Lassator/mulkins house was “the first permanent building in the Cuyamacas and principal mountain station on the S.a.&S.D. mail Line” (San

antonio and San Diego mail Line). It was “a substantial mountain dwelling of native rock chinked with mud, gabled roof of hand-made sugar-pine shakes and rough-hewn pine rafters, cut in Cuyamaca’s for-ests. In the northeast corner of the kitchen was a huge stone fireplace, where rested the Dutch oven. Foundation stones, beautifully fitted and solidly placed, were seen by Granville martin after the old house was demolished.”

When the comfortable stone house was finished and ready for occupancy, Sarah left the oppressive heat of the desert and the earthquake prone adobe house in Vallecito, with its dirt floor, and moved to the pleasant climate of Green Valley. She brought her two babies, James Jr. and martha, and her three older daughters. It is believed that andrew stayed in Vallecito to mind the station and take care of the needs of travelers.

after relocating the family to Green Valley, James found that the land and climate were favorable for growing hay that he could supply to the Vallecito Station by pack mules travers-ing the oriflamme trail. Thus, the trail that was generally

called “The San Diego Trail” by teamsters and travelers also became known as Lassator’s “Hay Road.”

In the early days, the oriflamme Canyon trail was not a route that could be used for wagons, therefore passen-gers and mail needed to be transferred onto mules from Vallecitos to Green Valley at a station that became known as “Lassator’s,” where they were moved to the stage to finish the journey to San Diego. Some people speculate that’s how the “Jackass mail” was so named.

after coming to Green Valley, Sarah, for the first time since she had lost her first husband and parents during her jour-ney to California, began living a peaceful and happy life. In 1862, her daughter Jane was married to Capt. James madison Dye of Ballena. James Lassator, who had been appointed judge of the plains and justice of the peace by the county supervi-sors, performed the ceremony at Lassator’s Green Valley ranch.

But life on the frontier was difficult, and tragedy continued to follow Sarah, when her eldest son, andrew (1833-63), died a difficult death from wounds to his head that failed to heal as the result of injuries he had received as a child from falling into a fire. He was buried in Vallecito.

Then Sarah’s husband and a man named Gardiner were ambushed, robbed and mur-dered in 1865, at a place called Texas Hill in arizona. after they failed to return home from a gold prospecting trip, their bleached bones were found by John Wesley mulkins, who had gone searching for his stepfa-ther. Their remains were identi-fied by the presence of an aban-doned wagon and by papers and possessions in an old trunk.

Sarah’s youngest daughter, Loduska, (1847-1935), married Cyrus Batey Kimball, who had taken up a place at Warner Valley by the emigrant trail where in 1861 or 1862, Kimball built a home and an adobe store that became known as Kimball Station.

Those were uneasy times, as Kimball was the only northerner in an area that was alive with Southern sympathiz-ers who often threatened his life. But it was during a journey to Los angeles in 1865 when the party was ambushed. Cyrus Kimball and George Williams were robbed and murdered by eight outlaws, as witnessed by

Jan and Patrick Dye and bill and betty anne tulloch at the mulkins ruins overlooking Dye valley, 2005. Photo by DaRReLL beCk

Loduska, who lay hidden in the underbrush.

Sometime after this horrify-ing ordeal, the young widow remarried.

Sarah’s last surviving son, John (1837-1907), married Clarissa anne Gazeway in 1869. after losing the Green Valley ranch to a land dispute, they came to Ballena Valley, where he and Clarissa built a home and took up residence on a hillside overlooking Dye Valley.

There, they farmed, raised stock and lived out their respective lives. They are both buried at nuevo memory Gardens. all that remains of their Ballena home site are some rock parapets and a few distressed fruit trees and vines.

Jane and her husband, James, took up land on the old trail to mesa Grande (now Sutherland Dam Road) at a place later known as the Rotanzi ranch. James died in 1874, and it’s

believed he was buried some-where on the old ranch. Jane later married David Halstead and died in Corona, Calif.

Sarah mulkins Lassator died in 1902, in the Southern California State asylum (later named Patton State Hospital), apparently unable to bear the overwhelming misfortune that she had encountered dur-ing her pioneer lifetime on the frontier. n

Ramona Celebrates Independence Day with a Big Party and a Big Bang

By Jim Evans ~ the journal

once again, Ramona was treated to a spectacular fireworks display on Independence Day, thanks to

determined fundraising efforts by Ramona Rotary Club and the generosity of many local residents and businesses.

But this year’s annual Fourth of July celebration, the 23rd annual, was almost a no-show.

Fireworks have become increasingly expensive over the years, and the total of $30,000 needed for this year’s event was achieved only five days before the big show.

and what a display it was! Residents far and wide were treated to a dazzling 20-minute display of karmuros, cros-settes, horsetails, waterfalls, time rain, salutes and everything else associated with high-tech pyrotechnics, together

with all of the accompanying bangs, pops, crackles, hums and whistles that make fireworks so exciting.

among the crowd favorites were the “ghost shells,” where the colorful explo-sions morph into different colors from blue to green, red to white, and more.

It was a perfect, star-lit night in more ways than one, and people were watch-ing from their picnic blankets, lawn chairs, back porches, cars and the backs of pickup trucks.

of course, the big fireworks blast was preceded by a full-blown community get-together from 5 to 9 p.m. behind olive Peirce middle School, where fami-lies visited the different food, entertain-ment and display booths and gathered for picnicking on the soccer field while enjoying music and announcements from the Sound Prodigy DJ.

There were lots of activities for the kids, too, including the always-popular dunk tank and caricature cutouts. one

of the early highlights was the flag ceremony by the Ramona High School nJRoTC Color Guard, accompanied by the national anthem, sung by allie mcClure.

as darkness came over the festivities, the fireworks exploded right on time. Behind the scenes, the fireworks crew worked fever-ishly to keep things moving in spectacular fashion, while Cal Fire carefully monitored the “fall zone” to prevent any fire incidents.

Fireworks were provided by Pyro Spectaculars of alpine, and this year’s crew was headed by veteran pyrotechnic director Susan Baldwin. Dominic moretto was the primary “shooter” at this year’s event.

It was big. It was bad. It was beautiful. Congratulations, Ramona Rotary, for another successful Fourth of July celebration.

Ramona thanks you. n

Warner Resort Has the Casper TouchBy Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

It can be said that this soon-to-be-reopened golf course will have the Casper touch with a

Bing Crosby flair.Byron Casper, son of legend-

ary golfer Billy Casper, has been appointed corporate golf direc-tor of Pacific Hospitality Group, which includes the newly reno-vated Warner Springs Ranch Resort Golf Club, due to open this summer, and the Salt Creek Golf Club in Chula Vista.

“our goal is to make Warner Springs Ranch the Greenbrier of the west,” said Casper. “more importantly, we strive to bring back the history and the status it had years ago as a wonderful golf and family destination.

“I think it is going to be

challenging with quite a few bunkers,” he said. “The fairways have been changed around. It’ll be a fun test of your game. We’ve put our own little touch on it. It will surprise a lot of people.”

Remodeling the clubhouse and restaurant, and adding new amenities, such as a bar, two-way fireplace and ample outdoor seating, are expressions of change. The old Bing Crosby cottage is to be converted into a hospitality suite to pay hom-age to the entertainer and San Diego golfing legends such as the late Billy Casper.

Byron Casper’s career spans nearly two decades work-ing with top golf courses and companies across the globe, including Scotland, where he

relocated in the mid-1990s While in Scotland, he played

professionally, worked for the International PGa and became a teaching professional and club fitter for Heritage Golf of St. andrews and later, the St. andrews Golf Company.

In 2007, he returned to the U.S. and added to his teaching credentials with GolfTeC before starting his own golf academy at Thanksgiving Point Golf Club in 2011. He partnered with his father to create the Billy Casper Golf academy.

at 47, Byron has given more than 5,000 lessons in three countries, is a Taylormade staff player and has written and pub-lished two books on golf.

The Warner golf club is a 6,850-yard, 18-hole, par-72 championship course surround-ed by 60-year-old oak trees and natural vegetation, offering sweeping views of area moun-tain ranges.

“We’ll have many programs to give people a golfing experi-ence,” Casper continued. “When people leave the course, they will feel like they have been members. Can’t wait to get back again.”

He said he’d be head teach-ing pro here and at Salt Creek. For now, the bulk of his time will be spent in Warner Springs.

Fred Grand, president of Warner Springs Ranch Resort LLC, added, “Byron Casper’s

involvement with the Warner Springs Ranch Golf Club is truly significant. It links a legendary golf course with a World Golf Hall of Fame golfer and San Diego native Billy Casper and keeps his legacy alive through his son Byron.”

Byron said it was a wonder-ful experience caddying for his famous father in the U.S. open and masters as a teenager. Later, he caddied for three years when his father played on the seniors tour.

He came from a large family, but only he and his older brother, Bob, sought careers in golf. His brother participated in the PGa tour, but Byron chose teaching. n
