Locals Receive Awards in County Fair ContestsBy Annette Williams ~ the journal

Ramona residents showed off their expertise in a number of competitions featured during the

2015 San Diego County Fair. among the top prize-winners was an

entry by montecito High School art class students, under the instruction of Caylor nuth, titled “Kickin’ It With van Gogh.” Their description was, “acrylic on sofa.”

The team earned ribbons for first place, Best of Class and Best of Show in the Fine arts Group Project division of the fair’s Student Showcase Competition. lead artist was Cameron Benge, and participating artists were Christopher

Donnelly, lucky Holister, michelle Huffman, Victor Jacob, Isiah Spilman and Rachael Van Doren.

after learning about Vincent van Gogh, the students selected images and were assigned their own sections of the couch, with Benge and Donnelly collaborating on the seat back. as lead, Benge also worked on touching up and adding lettering to the reverse side.

For the project, the students dem-onstrated a lot of the skills that they learned in class, said nuth, including proportion, transferring images, drawing techniques and visual measurements.

“They also mixed their own colors from primary colors,” she said.

“There are some very talented kids there, but it was mostly for fun.” nuth said that all of the collaborators graduated either mid-year or in June.

Here are other local entries that earned awards this year. For more results, visit www.sdfair.com.

By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

Ramona unified School District Superintendent Robert Graeff has responded to an offer

from the county supervisors to make sheriff deputies available on campus at local schools.

Supervisor Dianne Jacob was joined by Supervisor Bill Horn in an effort to reduce truancies at schools in unin-corporated areas. They made the offer to 10 school districts, and RuSD was one of the first to respond, along with Grossmont union School District.

“School safety and keeping kids out of trouble are always critical concerns,” Jacob stated in an announcement issued by the county. “In this day and age, we need to make sure we’re doing all we can to keep our campuses secure. This initiative also aims to reduce truancies and keep our youth off the streets and in the classroom.”

Deputies assigned to the high schools would be called School Resource officers. elementary and middle schools would have a probation officer assigned. Both positions would be full time, five days a week.

“If we had both of those, it would serve our kids well,” Graeff said, adding that students with any sort of problems would be able to seek help or advice from the officers.

Ramona schools currently have a 96 percent attendance rate. Truancies are not a problem, but Graeff said there are students as young as 6 or 7 who do not have a good attendance record. RuSD does not have staff available to visit homes to follow up on why children are not attending school.

“We find the Student Resource officer (program) very attractive,” he said. “It can help prevent problems from coming to school.”

The Board of Supervisors is exploring funding for the programs. If all goes well, Graeff said he hopes the program will be in effect by midyear of the coming school year.

“our children need a safe learning environment where they know someone is looking out for them,” Supervisor Horn stated. “The Student Resource officers will also help build trust and positive relationships between students and law enforcement.” n

Water Board Approves Rate Hikes for sewer

service AreasBy Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

Ramona municipal Water District’s 7,000 custom-ers hooked into the two

sewer service areas will see an increase in their bills that became effective July 1. The new rates will continue for the 2015-16 fiscal year. Director Joe Zenovic pointed out that the increase amounts to an average of 11 cents per day.

Santa maria Sewer Service area customers will now be charged $716.32, while San Vicente Sewer Service area’s new rates will be $670.54. most customers pay the sewer service charges on their annual property tax rolls that come from the county.

alex Handlers, an attorney with Bartle Wells associates in the Bay area, made a slide pre-sentation to the RmWD Board of Trustees at a special meeting and public hearing on June 23.

“each sewer service area is financially self-supporting,” Handlers said. “each service area (is) independently served by its own sewer collection system and wastewater treatment plant.”

The Santa maria plant, which dates back to the 1970s, serves roughly 4,300 customers. It is estimated that $16.5 million will be needed to cover existing deficiencies and capital needs over the next 10 years, whereas the San Vicente plant expenses are estimated at $4.5 million over 10 years for its approxi-mate 3,700 customers.

The board unanimously approved the rate hikes, with Director Jim Hickle not in atten-dance. In addition, the board unanimously approved an ordinance to continue sewer availability charges for proper-ties in the San Vicente Sewer Service area for the current fiscal year of 2015-16. Customers are billed $10 per acre or partial acre. annual revenues are approximately $37,000.

There is no availability fee for customers of the Santa maria plant.

The next regularly scheduled water board meeting is at 2 p.m. July 14 at Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Ln. n

Palomar to Shift Services from Downtown Escondido

The Palomar Health board of directors approved a shift of services from the Palomar Health Downtown Campus in escondido to Palomar medical Center a few miles away and Pomerado Hospital in Poway. The decision to transition services and close the campus was made in a special board meeting June 24.

The shift of services will include moving inpatient rehabilitation and labor and delivery services to Palomar medical Center in escondido and increasing the behavioral health services already provided at Pomerado Hospital in Poway. emergency services at both hospitals will remain the same.

“This closure is estimated to save the district $20 million annually and create additional efficiencies and cost savings that can be reinvested in patient care throughout the system,” according to a state-ment issued by Bobette Brown, marketing and public relations manager for Palomar Health.

Discussions about the

future of Palomar Health have been ongoing as part of the board’s strategic planning process, and this decision allows the health care district to better meet the long-term health care needs of the community, according to the statement released following the board meeting.

“This was a very impor-tant decision for the future of Palomar Health, and we put a great deal of thought into our vote,” said linda Greer, Palomar Health Board of Directors chairperson. “I am confident this is the right choice for the district and those we serve, and I appreciate the staff, patients and community members who had a voice during this process.”

as part of the decision- making process, the health care district met with the community, staff, patients, elected officials, businesses and doctors to gather input and answer questions. Significant time and due diligence went

Ramona Football Program Built From Ground UpBy Lindsay Santa ~ the journal

The Ramona Pop Warner Program’s players were recently granted permission to use the new Bulldog

Stadium at Ramona High School for their current 2015 season. The decision is well supported by RHS athletic Director Damon Baldwin and comes with many advantages to the RPW teams.

The turf at RHS stadium is currently being replaced, and the stadium is expected to be ready for action in early July.

“RPW and RHS football have worked together since I took the job in 2005,” said Baldwin. “one of my primary goals

has been to develop a ‘bridge’ to the high school from RPW, to help train their coaches, and to have the midget and junior midget teams run our same systems as the high school.”

The next natural step in creating this bridge for the younger players was to provide access to the same stadium the high school students play in.

“This just made sense to me,” said Baldwin. “our stadium has sufficient parking for all the families and teams that travel to Ramona to play with Pop Warner. I like the thought of getting these young kids on our campus and having them get exposed to our stadium

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.

RusD Board Approves Contracts with Teachers and Administrators

By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

Ramona unified School District Board of Trustees reached an agreement for the coming year

with the Ramona Teachers association and also approved salary contracts with the administration team at its June 11 meeting.

RTa president Cori mcDonald praised the administrators and trustees for ratify-ing the contract prior to the beginning of the 2015-16 school year.

The teachers will realize what Superintendent Robert Graeff referred

to as “a modest salary adjustment” in the amount of a 3.4 percent raise.

The administrative team, which includes the superintendent and assistant superintendents, will receive a similar raise.

In addition, Theresa Grace, director of education services, will have a title change and a new contract beginning July 1. She will become an assistant superintendent — the third for the dis-trict — in charge of education services. Her contract is expected to be approved at the next school board meeting.

The trustees also approved the appointment of Jennifer Brown as assistant principal at olive Peirce middle School.

During a public hearing session of the board meeting, David ostermann, assistant superintendent for administra-tive services, reported on the proposed budget for the 2015-16 school year.

ostermann referred to the budget as “positive over the next three school years,” ending on June 30, 2018. He said the outlook for the district is good, even though the state budget is not yet final. a special board meeting was scheduled

for June 25 to approve the final budget.The trustees heard a first reading of

the proposed district calendar for the 2016-17 school year. Final action will be taken at the next regularly scheduled board meeting. Board meetings are generally held on the third Thursday of each month.

Some of the meeting dates may be adjusted to meet with the schedules of the trustees. Therefore, the next meeting will begin at 7 p.m. on July 9, the second Thursday, at the Wilson administration Center, 720 ninth St. n

The Ramona Junior Fair Barbecue and Pie auction July 11 is a fun and friendly event, where young fair

participants have the opportunity to auction pies, cookies and baskets of goodies. an antique tractor show held simultaneously is a perfect compliment

to the annual fundraiser.“There will be a plethora of

different, unique items,” says Junior Fair Board member Crissy Tobiason, who

is in charge of the event. “Some of our premier items are the Toths’ chocolate chip cookies, Carol Stipp’s creampuffs and Sandy Tobiason’s rhubarb pie.”

Barbecue and Pie Auction a Junior Fair Tradition

Sometimes there are home-made salsa and bread up for bids, she says.

last year’s pie auction brought in more than $19,000 — a substantial amount of money that supports the Junior Fair and helps fund upgrades to the facility grounds.

“It is the Junior Fair’s pri-mary fundraiser,” Tobiason says. “Without the barbecue and pie auction, we would not have the money to operate and maintain the fairgrounds.”

The barbecue dinner will feature deep-pit beef, pork and turkey, donated by Specialty meats in escondido.

“Probably the most special thing about the barbecue and pie auction is that the dinner and side dishes are prepared, served and put together by the Junior Fair exhibitors,” she says. “We’ve got 14 to 16 kids that make the side dishes the night before and get everything ready to be cooked in the morning. The kids have a great time! If you want to see the future, come and watch these kids work. It’s a breath of fresh air to see our youth, who are truly exceptional.”

It’s not just the meal prep that will be done by the young exhibitors. a former participant is returning to serve as auctioneer.

“We’re going to have Brett Huff, a second-generation member of Ramona Stars and a former Ramona Junior Fair exhibiter, for our auctioneer,” Tobiason says, adding that he graduated this year from Dordt College in Iowa. “His mother, Deb (Watkins) Huff, is also a former exhibiter. She

was involved in the old-time Ramona Stars. This will be his debut as a first-time-ever auctioneer. It shows his commitment to the program.”

Sweets and barbecue will have a little competition from the antique tractors that will be on display during the event.

“It’s a tractor competition where they are judged based on the age group of tractors and uniqueness,” says Tobiason. “last year, we had about 13 tractors, ranging from a 1908 steam-driven tractor — a beau-tiful tractor — all the way up to ’56 models and modern farm tractors from the ’80s.”

The barbecue dinner and tractor show start at 3 p.m., and the pie auction begins at 6 at the Junior Fair grounds, 431 aqua ln. Cost is $7 for adults and $5 for kids.

She says it’s a tradition for a pie to be thrown in the face of a local celebrity, but it’s a surprise only to be revealed at the auction.

Tobiason is the daughter of angus G. Tobiason, a long-time Junior Fair supporter who recently passed away. She wants to encourage folks to come out and raise a bid for “old a.G.”

“For anybody who knew my dad, they’d get a chuckle out of it, because he truly had an investment in Ramona Junior Fair and would like to see it be as successful as it possibly can.

“This event truly is an iconic event showcasing the abilities, the ambition and ultimately the greatness of the kids in our community.”

We would like to thank Rotary’s Fourth of July Chairperson Craig Jung, along with his committee, for their hard work in making sure this is again one of the best events possible. Also, without the financial support of Ramona, the fireworks would not be possible. Thank you to our community, and we look forward to seeing you on the Fourth of July.

AVL Grant to Benefit Ramona Fire stations

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors accepted a donation of

$276,000 last month from the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation for the purchase of 80 automatic vehicle locators (aVl) for rural San Diego fire departments.

The aVl-enabled fire vehicles will permit dispatchers to see where every unit is located and send the closest one to an emergency. This can signifi-cantly reduce response times, potentially saving lives in a medical emergency or keeping a small fire from becoming a major one. aVl also enables fire commanders to better manage a fire by seeing where all units are located and moving them to help save homes and protect

firefighters as winds shift. aVl equipment will be

provided to 23 fire sta-tions, including Ramona and Intermountain Fire Rescue Department. It will take time to complete the installations, but work is planned through the summer and fall.

“The Fire Foundation is very pleased to partner with the County of San Diego, the San Diego County Fire authority, Cal Fire and SDG&e to provide this crucial equipment that will reduce response times to fires, medical and rescue calls, and other emergencies,” said Fire Foundation executive Director Joan Jones, who noted that SDG&e has provided grants totaling $376,000 to support the aVl program. n

DIRECTIons: Cider-Vinegar Barbecue sauce:mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard,

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the pork in a

Pulled Pork BarbecuePrep: 20 min • Inactive: 3 hr • Cook: 6 hr, 15 min • Yield:12 servings • Level: Intermediate

roasting pan and roast it for about 6 hours. an instant-read thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the pork should register 170 degrees F, but basically, what you want to do is to roast it until it’s falling apart.

While the pork is roasting, make the barbecue sauce. Combine the vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Take it off the heat and let it sit until you’re ready for it.

When the pork is done, take it out of the oven and put it on a large platter. allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While it’s resting, deglaze the pan over medium heat with 3/4 cup water, scraping with a wooden spoon to pick up all of the browned bits. Reduce by about half. Pour that into the saucepan with the sauce and cook 5 minutes.

While the pork is still warm, you want to “pull” the meat.Put the shredded pork in a bowl and pour half of the sauce over. Stir it all up well so that the pork is coated with the sauce. To serve, spoon the pulled pork mixture onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun, and top with some slaw. Serve with pickle spears and the remaining sauce on the side.

Sinners need a clean slate. That is to say, we all need to have all of our many sins forgiven.

But did you know that sinners need much more than a clean slate? Forgiveness, in a sense, is only half the story. a

clean slate is the record of our sins being wiped clean by the blood of Christ — and we certainly need that!

But God’s standard for holiness is much more than a lack of having transgressed His commandments. Holiness is not just about what we do not do, but also about actually doing the will of God.

So we don’t just need forgiveness; we also need righteousness.

How can we sinners attain perfect righteousness? By works? no.

The apostle Paul writes, “What then shall we say was gained by abraham, our fore-father according to the flesh?

For if abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? ‘abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.’ now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. and to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.” (Romans 4:1-5 eSV)

When you trust in Jesus Christ, not only are all of your sins accounted to Christ on the cross, but His perfect righteousness is also accounted to you by faith.

our justification in Jesus

— that is, our forgiveness and acceptance by a holy God — not only means that we have been accepted by God just as if we had never sinned, but also just as if we had always perfect-ly obeyed God’s holy law!

Have you believed God’s promise in His Son? Do you have a clean and perfect slate before God?

If you are in Christ by faith, you don’t just have a clean slate, you have a perfect slate! Hallelujah — what a Savior! n

They blew off the doors of Ferrari and friends with a string of victories at

le mans in the 1960s, with calculatedly designed GT40s.

The cast of team drivers was headed by Dan Gurney and a.J. Foyt. others were Bruce mclaren, Chris amon, Pedro Rodriguez, lucien Bianchi, Jacky Ickx and Jackie oliver. none better in 1966-69.

now, Ford has a new version of the GT40 and plans to return next year. Drivers haven’t been set.

It will compete in the GT endurance class for professional teams and drivers.

The new race car is based on the all-new supercar unveiled in January. Both the production car and race car will arrive to mark the 50th anniversary of the GTs placing first, second and third at the 1966 le mans.

“When the GT40 competed at le mans in the 1960s, Henry Ford II sought to prove Ford could beat endurance racing’s most legendary manufacturers,” said William Clay Ford Jr., execu-tive chairman of Ford motor Company. “We are still extreme-ly proud of having won this iconic race four times in a row, and that same spirit that drove the innovation behind the first Ford GT still drives us today.”

In the January Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway, the two Ford teams will be operated by “Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates.”

Also-rans Have a ChanceThe Daytona 400 on July 5 is

no. 18 on naSCaR’s production of the Chase race to the cham-pionship. nineteen more races are on the calendar.

Ford Seeks Dominance Again

By Johnny McDonald

Behind the WheelWhat will stock car’s version

of a 12-driver play-off prove? Say, for example, what if

Jimmie Johnson could lead the standings with six or seven races? He could still lose to a driver in the Chase who did not win a race but finished seventh or higher in the points race, and who would be declared the champion.

Johnson may be hard-pressed to equal Richard Petty’s seven titles, but he might be able to tie Dale earnhardt Sr. for sev-enth place on the all-time vic-tory list.

Force Gets no RespectIf John Force held a bat, foot-

ball or basketball, he’d be front-page news in every newspaper sports section. It’s only on the inside pages that you’ll see he drives a Camaro Funny Car, even though he picked up his second win of the season at the nHRa new england nationals.

The 16-time Funny Car world champion raced to a winning performance of 4.160 seconds at 309.49 mph. The victory was Force’s 143rd of his career, 99 ahead of second-place Ron Capps of Carlsbad.

Pretty good for a 65-year-old who’s eligible for Social Security. n

Waldo figures, sporting the famous red-and-white striped shirt and black-rimmed glasses, will be hidden in local establishments, and those who spot him may win prizes, including buttons, book coupons and more.

To participate, pick up a “Find Waldo local in Ramona” passport at any of the

participating businesses, and get it stamped or signed for each Waldo you spot. The first 125 to get their passports stamped or signed at 10 or more sites may bring their passports to unicorn Books and Gifts to collect prizes. Those whose passports show they discovered Waldo at 20 or more locations will be entered into a grand-prize

drawing on July 31 for a six-volume deluxe set of Waldo books.

The contest is free, and the hunt will last all month.

Officials Focus on Hiking Safety After Cedar Creek Fatality

Following the June 16 heat-related death of a 24-year-old hiker in the Cedar Creek

Falls area, and multiple rescues in the days that followed, the San Diego Sheriff’s Department issued an advisory about the rules hikers are required follow.

Sheriff’s deputies and u.S.

Forest Service Rangers want to remind the public that they strictly enforce permit require-ments and the ban on cliff jumping and alcohol possession and use, and that they will take appropriate action against those who violate local, state and federal laws, which can include

citations, arrests and fines. Permits to visit Cedar Creek Falls are available by visiting www.recreation.gov.

For those who break the law, County ordinance 364.1 allows for the reimbursement of emer-gency costs, up to $12,000. The fees only apply to those who break the law, for example, illegal drinking that prompts a rescue operation.

The trail to Cedar Creek Falls is a challenging 5 1/2-mile hike with no shade from the sun, and the return trip is mostly uphill. It is not for beginners. Hikers need at least a gallon of water to stay hydrated, should dress appropriately for the hike and know their limits. leave dogs at home, as the trail is lit-tered with sharp rocks and the surface gets very hot.

Tell someone you are going hiking, where you are going and when you expect to return. This helps ensure that if some-thing goes wrong or you don’t return on time, a responsible party will know where to begin searching. Hiking or caving can be challenging and require technical skills of varying levels. Caves are an easy place to get hurt, and no one will know if you’re trapped if no one knows you’re there.

The Sheriff’s Department also advises:• Never go hiking alone.• Know your limitations.

Choose trails that match your level of physical fitness and in areas where you are not going to get lost.

• Bring ample food, water, sunscreen, flashlight, map, GPS, first aid kit, whistle and multipurpose tool or knife.

• Cell phone signals may be limited, but it’s still good to have a fully charged phone in case you need to call for help.

• Wear proper clothing, including boots, sunglasses, hat, gloves, helmet, etc.

Because there are only 29 parking spots on the Cedar Creek Falls trailhead off of Thornbush Road in San Diego Country estates, cars block-ing the roadway or driveways will be towed at the owner’s expense.

Sheriff’s Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer unit that performs wilderness and urban rescues, and searches for miss-ing persons. Teams are available 24 hours a day to respond to local, state and federal agency requests.

Palomar Health services will soon transition out of its downtown escondido campus.PHoto CourteSy oF PAloMAr HeAltH

into the recommendation from the leadership team, which included many medical staff leaders, the district said.

“Palomar Health has a commitment to the community to continue providing high-quality, safe patient care into the future,” said Robert Hemker, president and Ceo of Palomar Health. “This deci-sion positions our organization well to continue serving our community and growing with their health care needs.”

“members of medical staff and I have been part of the planning process, and I am confident this is the right deci-sion for our patients and community,” said Jeffery Rosenburg, m.D., Palomar medical Center and Palomar Health Downtown Campus chief of staff. “This decision will ensure we can provide our

patients the best access to high-quality, safe and comprehensive care for generations to come.”

“This was not an easy decision, even in the face of overwhelmingly compel-ling evidence that it was the necessary one,” said Paul neustein, m.D., Pomerado Hospital chief of staff. “The medical staffs of Pomerado Hospital and Palomar medical Center are committed to facing the challenges that we will encounter while implementing this transition.”

Palomar Health reported that the transition of services is expected to take place over the next several months.

It’s almost the Fourth of July — time for fireworks, picnics and a reflection on

all the liberties we possess in this country. But if you’re going to enjoy the freedom to do the things you want, especially dur-ing your retirement years, you’ll want to take the steps necessary to achieve your own “Financial Independence Day.”

Here are a few suggestions for helping you reach that goal:

• Liberate yourself from debt. For most of us, a certain amount of debt is unavoidable. But the greater control you can gain over your debts, the better off you will be, because any dollars not spent in paying debts can be used to save and invest for your future. So look

for ways to cut down on your spending and think about post-poning some purchases until you can pay for them in cash. It may not be easy, but it’s possible. and by putting this “found money” to work immedi-ately in quality investments, you may motivate yourself to keep a lid on your debt level.

• Unlock the power of time. albert einstein once said, “The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.” einstein, who knew a thing or two about the nature of time, clearly recognized its impor-tance in investing. In fact, as an investor, time may be your greatest ally. The more years in which you invest, the more dollars you’ll put in, and the

longer you’ll have for your investments to potentially grow. even if you’re just starting out in your career and can only invest a small amount each month, you’ll be starting to accumulate the amount you’ll eventually need to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

• Release your investments’ growth potential. To attain financial freedom during your retirement years, you will need to invest for growth — it’s that simple. So include an appropri-ate amount of growth-oriented vehicles in your overall invest-ment mix. ultimately, this mix should be based on your risk tolerance, time horizon and specific long-term goals.

• Free your investments from “clustering.” In the investment world, as in many other arenas of life, you can have “too much of a good thing.” For example, if you own a particular invest-ment, such as a stock, that has done well, you might think that it’s a good idea to own more of the same type of stock. But when investing, duplication can be dangerous, because if a market downturn affects one asset class particularly hard, and much of your portfolio is tied up in that asset class, you could take a big hit. Instead of “clustering” your dollars around a single asset or two, you could diversify your holdings by own-ing a mix of stocks, bonds, gov-ernment securities and other vehicles. While diversification can potentially help you reduce the impact of volatility on your holdings, a diversified portfolio can’t guarantee a profit or pro-tect you from loss.

achieving any type of free-dom, in any kind of endeavor, takes time and effort. That’s certainly the case with finan-cial freedom — you will need to consistently make the right moves, over a period of many years, before you can finally declare your fiscal indepen-dence. But once you reach that point, you will likely conclude that your diligence and dedication were well worth it. n
