New Director QuitsRMWD Board

By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

With only two board meetings under his belt, newly appointed Ramona Municipal Water

District Director Arnie Cares turned in his resignation.

Cares was appointed as the Division III representative in December, following the october resignation of Director Rex Schildhouse. Cares was installed at the Jan. 13 meeting and selected to serve as treasurer of the board.

Cares sent a letter of resignation to board president Darrell Beck, making his resignation effective March 9. no reason was given for his decision to resign. Beck informed the other directors during a closed session following the March 10 board meeting. Cares did not attend the board meeting.

“It was a big surprise,” General Manager David Barnum said. “I’m disappointed.”

Cares was selected from a group of seven applicants for the vacant seat. He was chosen based on his background in finance and accounting. He had frequently attended board meetings in the past few years.

“I can hit the ground running,” Cares said when making his pitch to the board in December, adding that he would be in

attendance “100 percent of the time.”At the January board meeting, Cares

made several suggestions in regard to running the district. His request for a new ad hoc committee to be formed for the district’s conversion to a new infor-mation system was deferred to a later date. His suggestion for the board members to have individual email addresses through the district’s website was voted down by the other directors.

Directors decided at a special meeting on March 19 to appoint a new director for Division III at its April 14 board meeting.

Candidates who applied in December when Cares was selected will be recon-sidered for the vacancy if they are still interested, according to board presi-dent Darrell Beck. Anyone who lives in Division III may submit a resume, Beck said. each candidate will have an opportunity to address the board on April 14, and a selection is expected to be made at that time, with the new director being seated immediately.

Business that came before the board at the March 10 meeting included adopting a resolution to continue participating in the County of San Diego Fire Mitigation Fee program. Funds from mitigation fees for RMWD fire

department are currently at $79,000; by the end of the fiscal year, the total could be more than $100,000, according to Battalion Chief Steve Foster.

There are no immediate plans for the funds, Foster said. They can only be used for new buildings, additions to existing buildings, or new firefighting vehicles.

“We need to think about replacing our engines soon,” Foster said.

In other business, the board directed Human Resources Manager Tim Clement to look into health benefit plans for directors. The board had suspended the directors’ benefits in June 2012 for a three-year period. It was decided to find out what may now be available should a director choose to enroll in a plan.

The board also approved sending a

letter of commitment to the county in support of a Community Development Block Grant application for new floor-ing in Ramona Community Center. If approved, the grant would cover 95 percent of the cost ($48,226) while the district’s part would be 5 percent ($2,412). The water district owns the community center.

A new water services ad hoc committee was formed to work with the community regarding the expansion or improvements to potable or treated water systems. President Beck and Director Jim Hickle will sit on the committee.

The next regularly scheduled board meeting will be 2 p.m. April 14 at the community center, 434 Aqua Ln. n

McGinty Serving with Navy ‘Tophatters”

The u.S. navy announced that Petty officer 2nd Class

Damon McGinty, a 2005 Montecito High School graduate, is serving with the u.S. navy’s Strike Fighter Squadron Fourteen, also known as the “Tophatters,” at naval Air Station Lemoore in California.

He is an aviation ordnanceman with the squadron and works with the navy’s most lethal and versatile strike fighter aircraft, the F/A-18e Super Hornet.

“We work with weapons systems on aircraft,” said McGinty, adding that he is proud of the work he is doing as part

of the squadron’s 217-member team that helps protect America on the world’s oceans.

“The navy has given me a good sense of work ethic and sense of accom-plishment,” he said. “I enjoy the camaraderie within this squadron.”

The Tophatters are the navy’s old-est active squadron. Since the squadron’s inception in 1919,

members have flown 23 different types of aircraft, changed designations 14 times, and operated from 20 different aircraft carriers. n

When visiting Congress-man Duncan Hunter’s office in Washington,

D.C., you never know who may be sitting behind his desk. When the congressman is away from his office, visitors are invited to step in and take a look around. or have a seat.

This is what I did on a recent trip to the nation’s Capital. A visit to Cannon House, the location of Hunter’s office, was high on my list. one reason is because of all the help in plan-ning our trip that was generated by Hunter’s staff — mainly, staff assistant Jasmine Bagalso.

She is the one who handles constituent services; what that means is if you want to make advance reservations for any of the attractions in D.C., contact Jasmine. It is recommended that reservations be requested at least three months in advance.

My daughter Darcie Wasinger and I had a full schedule for our five days in D.C. First on the list was a tour of the White House. Since Darcie took more than 1,000 photos over the five days, this may have been a difficult tour for her. Cameras are not allowed inside the White House. In fact, visitors can take nothing but a wallet with them while on the tour.

The tour is self-guided, with docents — mainly Secret Service agents — posted at prestigious spots throughout the building, to offer history and tidbits of information about each location. We saw them all: the Blue Room, the Green Room, the Red Room, the east Room, the State Dining Room and even the staircase leading up to the presidential family’s private living quarters. That, of course, was roped off.

We saw the grand piano that was so often played by President Harry S Truman. We learned about the various piec-es of furniture or decorations in each room that were attributed to specific presidents or first ladies, some dating back to the 19th century.

next up was a tour of the united States Capitol. Here we

joined a large group of visitors as a tour guide led us around. We were in awe of all we saw: life-size statues of prominent

people — some were presi-dents and others were people who played an important part in America’s history.

The Capitol is located across the street from Hunter’s office and accessible through an underground tunnel. A room known as The Crypt is on the lower level of the Capitol. It was supposed to be George Washington’s final resting place, but instead, the first president is buried at his homestead about 15 miles away at Mount Vernon.

Constituents can also obtain Gallery passes to view proceed-ings by the Senate and House of Representatives.

The Library of Congress, located in the Thomas Jefferson Building, is a fascinating place to visit. It all started with Thomas Jefferson, and many of the books from his personal collection remain in the library today.

The Bureau of Printing and engraving should definitely be on everyone’s list of places not to be missed. This is where the currency is printed, a continu-ous operation not only in run-ning the printing machines, but coming up with new designs for the different monetary denominations.

Smithsonian museums abound in D.C., but, unfortu-

nately, due to time constraints, we were only able to visit one: The Castle. It provides an over-view of u.S. history. It also has a

crypt room where its namesake lies in rest.

The nearby u.S. Botanic Garden is home to 65,000 plants. Mostly on display while we were there were orchids, tulips and colorful hydrangeas.

Congress granted land for the garden in 1820, and the u.S. Botanic Garden was formally founded 30 years later. It is a living-plant museum and part of the Legislative Branch of gov-ernment, administered through the Architect of the Capitol.

enough can never be writ-ten about the national Mall. Memorials abound honoring Presidents Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson and Roosevelt, and all the wars. There are more than 3,000 events scheduled annually at the Mall. It attracts more visitors than anywhere in the country.

Across the bridge from the Mall is Arlington national Cemetery. A bus tour allows visitors ample time to stop at the many spots of interest: Kennedy eternal Fame, Tomb of the unknowns and the Arlington House, also known as the Custis-Lee Mansion, former home of General Robert e. Lee of Civil War fame.

There are only two presi-dents buried at Arlington: Kennedy and William Howard

Taft, the 27th president. The JFK gravesite is the most visited in the cemetery; coming in second place is the grave of Audie Murphy, America’s most-decorated World War II combat soldier.

Still on my list for my next

D.C. jaunt are trips to the national Archives, Kennedy Center, Supreme Court, national Cathedral, the Pentagon and more Smithsonian museums — as many as time allows to fit into a busy schedule. n

Frontier editor James A. Jasper recalled that early Julian was a boisterous town where

“there were from one to five fist fights daily. However, contrary to popular opinion, all was not drunken hilarity in pioneer days.”

Some of the locals of mis-chievous nature had plenty of idle time to plan and play innocent pranks on their fellow Julianites, and it was none other than Drury “Drue” Bailey who was the perpetrator of some of the most magnificent and memorable shenanigans.

In pioneer days, people longed for social events, and none were more popular than Julian dances, where people came from miles around to attend. At one particular dance, it seemed there were an unusu-ally large number of women who had brought their babies. In those years, infants were bedded down in a room sepa-rate from the main dance hall and were left there sleeping while their parents danced.

Just before the final dance

ON MEMORY’S BACK TRAIL

By Darrell Beck ~ the journal

Mining Camp Shenanigansof the evening, Bailey quietly slipped into the nursery and changed the blankets and locations of every child. When the dance ended, the mothers entered the dimly lit room,

hurriedly bundled up the babes and headed home. By the time the frantic mothers realized that they were in possession of the wrong babies and were able to correct the prank, Bailey had hopped on the morning stage for San Diego and didn’t return for three days — after the heat had diminished.

on another occasion, Bailey knew of two rowdy miners who got into the coyote juice every payday, making life miser-able with their howls for each other’s blood — that is until they became such an annoy-ance that Bailey decided to put a lid on their antics.

He conspired with Charlie

Monroe to set up a duel to the finish between the bloodthirsty miners. They waited until the next payday, when the feuding miners met at Doc Hopkins’ saloon and the fiendish hostili-ties were in full swing.

Just as “Jack” challenged “Joe” to a fistfight to the fin-ish, Bailey and Monroe showed up as planned. Bailey stepped between them and said, “You boys have been nursing a grudge ever since you struck the camp. Why don’t you go somewhere and shoot it out like men and be done with it?”

Jack said, “If I had a gun, I would show you.”

“Here’s my gun,” Bailey said. “Charlie, have you got a gun?”

“Yes,” he replied. “Give it to Jack, and I’ll give

mine to Joe,” Bailey ordered. “We’ll act as seconds. Charlie, you bring Jack and I’ll take Joe. Let’s go out in the field, so innocent bystanders won’t get hit by a stray bullet, and be done with this fuss.”

As the crowd began to

follow, Bailey told them, “This is a private affair between gentle-men. no witnesses are wanted.”

nevertheless, the whole town was on its heels as Bailey and Monroe lined up the men in Bailey’s field. They stepped off 30 paces, handed the enemies their revolvers, and told them that on the count of three, they should start firing until one of them fell or their guns were empty.

The crowd shivered with excitement as the two fear-stricken combatants faced each other. on the count of three, the duelists began firing until the hammers were falling on empty cylinders, but neither man had been hit.

Bailey then had the two lucky men shake hands and forget their grievances, and from that time forward, both men were close friends.

For a long time after this famous “duel,” only Bailey and Monroe knew they had loaded those guns with blanks. n

Busy Agenda Makes for a Lengthy RUSD Board Meeting


A busy agenda for the Ramona unified School District Board of

education kept the March 17 board meeting going for more than four hours. Several of the agenda items each lasted for at least 30 minutes or more, while the second half of the meeting moved along at a quicker pace.

The board heard a report from John Isom, of Isom Advisors, a Division of urban Futures, Inc., in Walnut Creek, regarding refinancing the district’s debt of $25 million over the next 16 years. He told the trustees there could be a savings of several hundred thousand dollars if a decision is made to move ahead with the refinancing of the Certificates of Participation.

Following a lengthy pre-sentation on all the options, the trustees directed Isom to continue looking into the most favorable plan and report back at a future board meeting. Board president Dawn Perfect stressed the main goal for the district

should be in paying off the debt in the least amount of time.

Assistant Superintendent David ostermann presented lists of maintenance projects needed at each of the school sites and administration offices for the current and upcom-ing school year. Several of the schools listed fencing, remod-eling restrooms, roof repair, window blinds in classrooms, repaving playgrounds and restriping parking lots. Most of the projects’ costs are included in the budget and are prioritized as monies become available.

ostermann also gave a PowerPoint presentation on the district’s financial status, provid-ing a synopsis of the governor’s budget proposal and its effect on the RuSD 2015-16 school year. ostermann referred to the interim report as being “the first time in a very long time” that it has been positive.

Revenue increases proposed by California Governor edmund G. Brown for the 2015-16 state budget could mean an addi-tional income of $3 million for

RuSD, ostermann reported. “economy is looking stable,”

he said. “We’ll meet our finan-cial obligations for this year and the next year.”

ostermann stated in his report: “even with declining enrollment, this increase in rev-enue significantly improves the financial outlook of the district.”

The next revision to the governor’s budget is expected in May. To date, RuSD meets the state’s requirements through 2017, ostermann reported.

“State requires each district to project out the current and next two fiscal years to maintain fiscal health and to identify any significant issues,” ostermann stated in his report to the school board.

The board unanimously accepted and approved ostermann’s report.

The next regularly sched-uled board meeting begins at 7 p.m. April 16 in the board room at Wilson Administrative Center, 720 Ninth St. n

Hilarity Takes Over Lamb’s StageBy Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

Hilarity is running amok at Lamb’s Players Theatre in Coronado. And delight-

fully so! It’s the wonderfully and warmly humorous play by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, “You Can’t Take It With You.”

Director Kerry Meads has assembled a great cast of 17 players, each one perfect for bringing out the personas of their characters. The story is set in 1936 in new York City, where a family that can only be described as atypical is far from ordinary in everything they do.

Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff is head of the clan. Jim Chovick was made to play this character. He is superb as a man of witti-cisms and wisdom.

The mother, played by Deborah Gilmour Smyth, is writing a novel — several, actually — because one day a typewriter was delivered to their home by mistake. Steve Gunderson is her mild-man-nered husband, Paul Sycamore, who spends a lot of time in the basement.

Daughter essie wants to be a ballerina; her husband, ed, plays the marimba and enjoys using his printing press to put notes

in his wife’s homemade candies. Cute as a button, Lauren King Thompson plays essie, and Jon Lorenz is cast as ed.

Daughter Alice, effectively played by Megan Carmitchel, seems to be the only normal member of the family. When she falls in love with her boss’ son, she’s not so sure she is ready for Tony and his parents to meet her family.

Jesse Abeel is perfect as Tony Kirby. His parents are brilliantly portrayed by John Rosen and Cynthia Gerber.

Danny Campbell is a hoot as Mr. DePinna, who spends most of his time in the family’s basement building firecrackers.

John Polhamus is terrific as Mr. Kolenkhov, the Russian ballet teacher. eileen Bowman adds just the right touch as an audi-tioning actress and later in the play as olga, a duchess-turned-waitress.

Cashae Monya plays the maid, Rheba, and Bryan Barbarin is her boyfriend, Donald.

Rounding out the cast is Jeffrey Jones as the man from the IRS, who later returns as one of the G-men with Brian Rickel and Carrie Heath.

Performances continue through March 29. Visit www.lambsplayers.com or call the box office at 619-437-6000. n

YANA Program Provides Personal Safeguard for

Seniors and the DisabledBy Jim Evans ~ the journal

nobody seems to know exactly when YAnA started, but the You Are not Alone (YAnA) program has been around in various forms for a long time in San Diego County and in other cities around the country. Surprisingly, most people are not aware of it.

In San Diego, the program is administered by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department via its Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP), providing personal calls and/or visits by a Volunteer Patrol Team every week to dis-abled and home-bound seniors living by themselves.

The visits are designed to

be social, where the volunteers interact with residents to let them know that they are not alone in their daily lives. Many of these individuals might be managing to get along on a day-to-day basis but may have medi-cal issues that could become a crisis without someone check-ing in on them regularly.

The Ramona Community Planning Group (RCPG) agenda for the March 5 meeting was unusually light.

Kahoots repre-sentatives presented the plans for a new store at Letton Street and Kelly Avenue. The retail pet and feed store plans include four buildings, for a total of 17,726 square

feet of developed space. The recently adopted Ramona Form Based Code (FBC) was brought up, as the project falls within the FBC area boundaries. The FBC lays out development standards within the FBC area.

The Kahoots project was approved by the Ramona Design Review Board in 2012, and the FBC was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in July of 2014. Some RCPG members felt the FBC should be applied to the project before the RCPG approves it, since it is currently in effect. However, a motion to approve the project as presented passed,

with 12 members voting for the project and three members in opposition.

A second project discussed was the existing solar facility on Warnock Drive and Ramona Street. The facility is located on private property. There have been problems getting the project landscap-ing to grow — shielding the neighbors, broken fences and broken sprinkler heads, etc. There are also questions about the maintenance of the pathway along Warnock and Ramona that is one of the project’s conditions of approval.

The solar facility project owner gave an update on the landscaping via writ-

ten correspondence. As progress is being made, the RCPG will wait to discuss the landscaping item further. Regarding maintenance of the pathway — the pathway is overgrown and has had minimal maintenance from the county. An inquiry has been made, but no response has been received, so the RCPG will follow up with the county.

Kristi Mansolf is secretary of the Ramona Community Planning Group. RCPG meets the first Thursday at 7 p.m. at Ramona Library, 1275 Main St. n

TOP-PERFORMING MEDICAL GROUP

Local artists will open the doors to their private studios and workshops for the 12th Annual open Studios

Tour, set for April 11 and 12.Local art takes many forms, from

traditional paintings, sculpture and glass work to book art, basket weaving and “flintknapping,” the art of shaping sharp-edged tools and arrowheads from stone.

“Art brings joy and beauty into our

daily lives and enlightens and comforts us,” says tour organizer Judy nachazel.

The self-guided tour, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, will feature more than 20 artists at 14 tour stops, where art-lovers can enjoy locally

produced artwork and buy pieces directly from the source.

“Visitors can ask the artists questions about their personal art experiences and their artwork, giving them an oppor-tunity to learn more about the artists’ inspirations, their medium, and how they work,” says nachazel. “Visitors move at their own pace, seeking new discover-ies and returning to see favorites, with the opportunity to purchase artwork for their collections, if they choose.”

Featured artists for this year’s tour include Jim Berger, nancy Berger, Caroline Boydston, Lark Burkhart, Kitty Cantrell, Donna Davis, Lyn Feudner, Linda Kelly, Isabella Ketenjian, Dave

Lambert, Hazel Lyne, Jolinda Marshall, Johnathan Martinez, Jerry Meloche, Irma Pina-Garner, nora Read, Dennis Schlentz, Lori Sutherland, Dave Vargo, Kathy Vargo, and nancy Wiley.

open Studios Tour is sponsored by Ramona Chamber of Commerce. Tickets are $10, available at the Chamber office, 960 Main St.; Java Hut, 23658 San Vicente Rd.; and at the artists’ studios during the tour.

Proceeds will benefit the commu-nity through the Ramona Chamber of Commerce.

Take Me Out to the BallgameBy Lindsay Santa ~ the journal

The PonY Baseball League recently held its traditional opening Ceremony and

Parade festivities. All of the teams created floats that share their spirit for the upcoming season.

The ceremony highlighted the 29 teams playing this sea-son, with 333 players between the ages of 3 and 14 currently registered.

During the ceremony, a check was presented to the

league from Ramona Food and Clothes Closet in the amount of $2,500.

“We have been extremely honored this year to have received an incredible dona-tion from our local Ramona Food and Clothes Closet,” said

Kaylene Weber, PonY parent auxiliary member. “They have gifted us some money to help us establish a scholarship fund to help those families in need, thereby making it possible for their children to participate in

the upcoming season. We are truly grateful for the efforts of the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet for making many chil-dren’s dreams become a reality!

“This season, our focus is on America’s greatest pastime, and all of the amazing concepts

that are a part of it,” said Weber. “Getting back to the basics and focusing on learning in a supportive environment is really what we wish to convey.”

The league encourages parents to remember to be

“Learning the skills of the game and applying those skills focused on by the coaches is what recreational baseball is about,” added Weber. “We also hope the

children will bond with their teammates and coaches, and establish great friend-ships. We are extremely grateful to all of those who manage, coach — whether formally or informally — keep score, volunteer to be a team parent, and those help in any manner.”

The league is now selling Padres tickets for PonY Day at Petco Park. This special event will be held on April 12, and Ramona players and their families will have the opportunity to purchase tickets at a discounted price.

Envisioning Artistic Color for Ramona and BeyondBy Tracy Rolling ~ the journal

When two local women started chatting about a business idea that would bring color and

creativity to Ramona, an art studio named envision Color was born.

Co-owners Carli Walsh and Donna Parsons describe how the concept came about during a road trip to Las Vegas. Fueled by an inspiring performance by the legendary elton John, and encour-aged by a tight-knit group of family and friends, Walsh shared how the Vegas concert was a defining moment.

“I realized I’m at a point in my life where I want to find my own medium, a creative outlet, something I can share with the community that will inspire others,” she said.

After returning home, Walsh was confident that now was the time. She approached a local bank and was told she needed to establish a fictitious business name and secure a sales license.

“All of the pieces fell together, and I was back at the bank the same day with documents in hand.”

But as her business concept was set

in motion, she couldn’t help but feel something was missing.

Her daughter, Alaina Sill, started seeing signs of doubt. She wrote on a white board, just a few inches under her mom’s business plan, a Bible verse, Micah chapter two, verse 13, which in summary says, “The Lord will lead the way.”

The next day, Parsons had an unshakable desire to call Walsh, who shared how her idea was evolving into a reality, but that some-thing was missing. After a well-informed discussion, the ladies agreed to merge their friendship into a business partnership.

With renewed purpose, they established the studio motto: “Life is art, find your medium.”

They secured a storefront at 733 Main St., next-door to Town Hall, and began painting walls, building shelves and purchasing supplies that would allow patrons to create exquisite pieces of art.

Walsh and Parsons opened their doors the first weekend of March.

They describe the studio as a

gathering place for the community and artists from all over the county, where people can purchase unfinished items, such as pottery, canvas or wood, then paint the project using in-house art supplies.

Parsons said, “We want to make this a place where people of all ages can come, hang out, create art and have fun.”

The average project cost is around $10.

“We are working hard to keep the prices affordable, so that aspiring artists of all levels can participate,” she added.

Get that Mojo Back!

Spring is a good time to tackle those chores you have been putting

off — like cleaning out your pantry and kitchen cabinets.

It is time to get on your knees and pull out some of those items you stuffed into the back recesses of your cabinets years ago! Drag out those old frying pans, worn-out mixing bowls, and crazy, useless tools you bought from some late-night TV ad pitchman.

It is time to fix the sticky drawer guides, the loose hinges, and the broken tiles at the corners of your countertops, and the leaky faucet that you hate because you can’t fit your pasta pot under it.

Or, maybe it is time to consider updating your 40-year-old kitchen altogether! The poor thing has kinda lost its mojo!

But, you don’t know anything about kitchen remodeling, and so whom do you trust?

Here’s a thought! Stop by Kitchen Barn at Eighth and Main in downtown Ramona. We have 30 years of local experience, and

Check out our inspirational displays, our references, and our resources and get to know us. We are a family business that is designed to do precisely what you need done — quickly, efficiently and with the least amount of hassle. We take great pride in helping people.

If you prefer, we can come to you! We offer a FREE, no-obligation kitchen inspection and consultation. We will advise you on all of the options available to you. Just call and arrange an appointment.

Kitchens are not meant to last for four or five decades. Like shoes, they do wear out and need to be updated. So, do your knees a favor — talk to us about getting your kitchen’s mojo back, and put some new “soul” into your home!

The Valley and Beyond . . . This Steve’s a Charger

By Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

“Charger Steve” Lordigyan is a dynamo when it comes to promoting car shows, and he does more than 25 of them in three county locations.

His Wednesday night Cajon Classic Cruise shows will begin April 22 and continue each week through September. He said it’s the largest of its kind in Southern California, drawing 50,000 spectators last year.

“This will be my ninth year of clos-ing down four blocks of el Cajon’s Main

Street from 5 to 9 p.m.,” he said. “Last year, we completed our 200th show.

“I also promote a very successful August car show in Pacific Beach and have begun one on Father’s Day in Belmont Park,” he said. “In Pacific Beach, we close off three blocks of Garnet Avenue, starting from Crystal Pier.”

As a prelude, he’s also at the helm of the San Diego Association of Car Clubs that conducts meetings at the San Diego Automotive Museum in Balboa Park the first Tuesday of each month. ninety county clubs belong to the association.

The scheduling of 30 major county car shows is his first order of business. But with more than a thousand car own-ers around, there are many other smaller shows, including a couple in Ramona.

As a family man in Ramona, he still finds time for kids’ softball practice and being a soccer coach.

He picked up the nickname “Charger Steve” because of his ownership of the General Lee car, the Dodge Charger that was featured in the “The Dukes of Hazzard” television series. In his car collection, he also has Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine replicas and a vintage DeLorean.

“That’s the reason I moved to Ramona in 2004,” he said. “I needed

more space for my cars.” Lordigyan said he comes up with

different themes to freshen his shows, such as “Ladies night out,” where women come and show their own cars.

Most of the shows center around competition, where different classifica-tions are judged for quality, craftsman-ship and degree of difficulty.

Spectators are drawn to share car owners’ stories and gain knowledge about preserving the past.

Additionally, as a charter member of the east County Cruisers, Lordigyan said, “We will do a couple shows in the sum-mertime and use the funds to purchase Thanksgiving meals for the local military and to purchase toys for Christmas.” n

Ramona Music Fest will turn up the excitement this Saturday, March 28, with top-notch bands

and performers ready to entertain the audience from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. The event will be presented by Ramona Rotary and Kiwanis clubs at the Ramona outdoor Community Center, 421 Aqua Ln.

With ticket prices only $10 for adults, $5 for ages 12 to 17, and free for kids 11 and younger and military and their families with official ID, Rotary President Craig Jung says, “This is going to be the best entertainment value of the day!”

Back To The Garden will return to headline the event, with band members Jim Soldi and Sharon Whyte, of Ramona, and Larry Grano, Rick nash and Marc Intravaia. Soldi was considered the best guitarist in the business by none other than Johnny Cash. They will present their program, “Back To The Garden Celebrates the Music of eric Clapton.”

Joining Back To The Garden will be special guest Billy Thompson, who is known for his electrifying guitar work, both on stage and in the studio.

Also in the Music Fest lineup of performers are The Shirthouse Band and Jason Winters.

The Shirthouse Band has been together about eight years, and includes Ramona resident Rob Lewallen on mandolin; Rich Craig, banjo; Len Claeson, bass; and Conley Robinson, guitar.

Member Pete Lauderbach won’t be available for this performance.

Music lovers have enjoyed the band at numerous venues around San Diego County, and they are set to perform this year as part of the Ramona Country Fair.

Lewallen says the group is known for its harmonies. “Sometimes we sound like a barbershop quintet with bluegrass instruments,” he says.

Although they perform many traditional tunes, Lewallen describes the group’s bluegrass style as more progressive.

“We’ve remade several classic folk and rock tunes into the bluegrass style, as well as ‘bluegrass-izing’ a few country songs,” he says. “I am also an old West musician and have brought in some old West ballads that we have ‘bluegrassed up,’ too.”

Singer and guitarist Jason Winters has been writing and leading music since 1996, and says he writes songs that invite others to sing along. He is the worship pastor at Mountain View Community Church, and his first studio album, “Live It out,” was released in February.

“The style of this album definitely revolves around a rock sound,” he says, adding that he feels blessed to be a part of Music Fest this year.

opportunity drawings, live and silent auctions, raffles and baskets are a big part of Music Fest activities, with the big

prize this year of four Disneyland park-hopper tickets, worth $600. Disneyland drawing tickets are $10.

Families will find supervised activities for the kids, and food, beverages and beer will be available for purchase.

Tickets may be purchased at the gate or in advance at Java Hut, 23680 San Vicente Rd.; Ramona Home Journal, 726 D St.; Ramona Music Center, 1045 Main St.; Ramona Sentinel, 425-A 10th St.; and

and remember.. . “We’ll Take Care of It!”

By Jim Evans~ the journal

We’ve all been known to lose our tempers from time to time, and some-

times losing our temper can get us in trouble by causing us to act irrationally, such as throwing things, breaking things, or hurting ourselves or others.

But now there is another reason to cool your heels: Losing your temper can kill you.

In fact, according to a recent study published in “european Heart Journal: Acute Cardiovascular Care,” a journal of the european Society of Cardiology, the risk of heart attack is more than eight times

higher in the two hours after losing your temper than after experiencing lower levels of anger.

What causes a temper tantrum? High on the list

Focus on Fitnesslosing Your Temper Could Kill You

include arguments with family members or anger at work, fol-lowed closely behind by anger behind the wheel or road rage.

Commenting on the study, Dr. Thomas Buckley, a senior lecturer and researcher from the university of Sydney and Royal north Shore Hospital, Sydney, said such heart attacks are “most likely the result of increased heart rate and blood pressure, tightening of blood vessels and increased clotting, all associated with triggering of heart attacks.”

How can such intense anger episodes be controlled? When you feel yourself losing control, take a deep breath, take a walk around the block, or head for

the gym to let off some steam. or, as Buckley says, “Potential preventive approaches may be stress reduction training to limit the responses of anger and anxiety, or avoiding activi-ties that usually prompt such intense reactions.

“And for those at very high risk, one could potentially consider protective medica-tion therapy at the time of, or just prior to, an episode — a

strategy we have shown to be feasible in other studies.

“Minimizing other risk factors, such as hypertension or smoking, would also lower risk,” he added. n

#1 Priority!


“He is risen!” That confident, joyful

declaration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ has been used as a greeting of sorts on easter Sunday down through the long centuries of church history. Why is that? How important is

the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ?

It is actually one of the central truths of the Christian faith. In 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, the Apostle Paul writes: “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also

received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.” (english Standard Version)

The Cross, burial and resur-rection of Jesus Christ are at the heart of the true Christian faith — they are, to use Paul’s words, “of first importance.”

Paul taught them as being the top priority, so the resur-rection is no side issue — it is essential to Christianity. In fact, if were not for the resurrec-tion of Jesus Christ, Christianity would be a complete waste of time! In 1 Corinthians 15:17-19,

Paul writes, “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.”

Think about that. If not for the bodily resurrection of Jesus, there would be no forgiveness of sins, no reconciliation with God, no eternal life. He says that if the gospel gives us hope “in this life only,” such “hope” is really no hope at all. Such a “hope” would make us the most pitiful people on the face of the earth! Why? Because it would be a hope “in this life only” that

abandons us at death’s door. But Jesus did rise from the

grave on the third day. And because He lives, you can know that He is exactly who He claimed to be, and that the price for our salvation really has been paid in full.

Because He lives, all who trust in Him will live beyond the grave as well.

He is risen! He is risen indeed! n

‘He Is Risen!’

‘My Fair Lady’ Brilliantly Performed at Cygnet TheatreBy Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

“My Fair Lady” is a delightful tale of life among the classes in London, circa mid-1930s. The Cygnet Theatre production is a brilliant presentation under the direction of Artistic Director Sean Murray.

When Professor Henry Higgins takes an uneducated flower girl under his wing to turn her into a lady of culture, he doesn’t know what his suc-cess may have in store, not only

for eliza Doolittle, but for the professor, himself.

Murray stars as the professor in the 10-member cast. As a confirmed bachelor, he soon discovers his life is not the same since eliza entered the picture.

The professor’s able-bodied assistant in the scheme of things is Colonel Pickering, played to the hilt by Tom Stephenson. Ron Choularton gives an outstanding perfor-

mance as eliza’s father, a poor dustman who must come to terms with his sudden and unexpected riches.

Allison Spratt Pearce joins the Cygnet family in her debut here as eliza Doolittle. Linda Libby exudes her character’s persona as Mrs. Higgins. Debra Wanger gives a good perfor-mance as the professor’s house-keeper, Mrs. Pearce.

Charles evans Jr. brings out the best in the lovelorn Freddy

eynsford-Hill, especially in his solo, “on The Street Where You Live.” Rounding out the cast are Ralph Johnson, Katie Whalley Banville and Bryan Banville.

“My Fair Lady” is adapted from the George Bernard Shaw play “Pygmalion.” Book and lyrics are by Alan Jay Lerner, with music by Frederick Loewe.

Patrick Marion is music director for the Cygnet produc-tion, with David Brannen taking charge of the choreography. Set

designer is Andrew Hull, with lighting design by Chris Rynne and sound design by Matt Lescault-Wood. Costumes are by Jeanne Reith, with wig and makeup designs by Peter Herman.

Performances continue through April 26. The theater is located in old Town San Diego State Park.

THE RiNg A Ramona Miracle

Commentary by Chris Shultz

The annual Girl Scouts cookie season has come to a close. Storefronts flanked

by girls in uniform, greeting customers at tables stacked high with brightly colored boxes of calorie-laden deliciousness, is a thing of the past — at least until next year.

But for Junior Girl Scout

Troop 8775, the highlight of the cookie season was not in the profits, but a sweet memory of events surrounding a cookie sale, a missing ring and a very generous donation to operation Thin Mint.

It was an unusually wet Saturday evening. Protected from the rain by the overhang of the Ramona Stater Bros. store,

troop leader Diane Silva and four of her Scouts — Gaetane Silva, elsie Shultz, Kaitlyn Miller and natalie Boruff — greeted customers with a smile and a jingle. Their goal: to sell enough cookies to get to camp, and to collect donations to send 1,000 boxes of Thin Mints to the troops overseas by means of the San Diego-area Girl Scouts program operation Thin Mint (oTM).

It was 20 minutes until the close of the booth sale, when elsie and Gaetane noticed a man with a flashlight searching the parking lot blacktop in the pouring rain. Periodically, he would bend down near puddles and use his free hand to move the water, as if he was looking for something. They recognized him as a man who had stopped by the booth earlier and given an oTM donation. The girls noted the man was clearly distressed.

After an unsuccessful search, he returned to the store before approaching the cookie booth. He explained that he had dropped his wife’s wedding ring and asked if the troop members had seen it. They learned his wife was in the hospital that night and had given him her diamond wedding ring for safekeeping. It was lost. Then, to add salt to an open wound, the man’s phone had gone dead and he didn’t have means to contact his wife and let her know what had happened.

Fortunately, Diane had her cell phone and offered it to him to make the call. He told his wife about the missing ring and then returned the phone. The girls had received a donation from another customer earlier that evening asking them to give away a box of cookies to someone in need. They asked the man to select his favorite cookies to give to his wife, and the troop assured him they would keep their eyes open for the ring.

There was a somber feeling at the close of the evening as the girls began to pack up the cookies and tally the profits. The missing ring lay heavy on the troop’s hearts. They talked about how bad they felt about the woman whose ring was gone, and the man who left so distraught over its loss. They wanted to search the parking

lot themselves.They finished the count,

then opened the wooden oTM donation box and removed the bills from inside to close the booth. Then, almost as if it were the pivotal climax of a heart-warming movie, they looked once more to make sure they had all the bills and coins. Lying at the bottom of the box was a bright, shining wedding ring.

“He must have had the ring in his pocket and dropped it in the box when he made his donation to operation Thin Mint,” Diane said. She quickly scanned the parking lot, but to no avail. She remembered overhearing him ask the girl who returned the shopping carts about the ring. But sadly, the girl informed Diane she had seen him leave, returning to the hospital to search the parking lot.

“Mom, he used your phone,” Gaetane reminded her.

Immediately, Diane hit redial and made contact with the man’s wife. upon learning her ring was found, she expressed surprise and sincere gratitude. unfortunately, she would not be able to contact her husband to return due to his phone being dead. Instead, the women worked out a plan to have a good friend come by and pick up the ring. Within minutes, the friend arrived. Diane checked her ID and gave her the ring. The friend expressed tearful emotion, repeatedly thanking the girls for their honesty. She then offered the girls $100 as a reward. Diane quickly declined the money, but the woman said that the ring’s owner had insisted. Diane again declined, but when the woman would not take no for an answer, the

two agreed that if the money was given as a donation to operation Thin Mint, the girls would accept it. everyone loved the idea!

Speaking for her troop, Diane said, “They just wanted to do the right thing. There was never an expectation of receiving anything in return.”

The troop is excited that because of the donation, military troops overseas will receive another 20 boxes of

cookies this year. They want to publicly thank the couple for their very generous donation and also for the opportunity to feel the spirit of Girl Scouting.

“It’s about the girls and their community,” Diane said.

The events that transpired were discussed among the troop, and they all agreed it was a blessing for Troop 8775 to be part of a Ramona miracle. It was the best cookie booth sale ever! n

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the or-der in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Greg and Katrina have been teaching locally at Riviera oaks Resort & Racquet Club and San Vicente Resort in San Diego Country estates for almost two decades and will be conducting their popular tennis camps at each location again this summer.

But, more important than the tennis skills they teach are the life skills they teach — which might explain why they have been so successful for so long.

“Tennis went through a phase where it was all about winning and not how you play the game,” explains Greg. “We teach our students to treat their oppo-nents and officials with respect. We encourage honesty and integrity — not to jump up and down and make a scene over line calls or protest when you know the ball was out. We teach all the usual

By Jim Evans ~ the journal

Ramona tennis pros Greg and Katrina Failla have been playing — and teaching — tennis for a very long

time. Most of their lives, in fact. The two first met in a junior tennis

tournament at Balboa Park when they were just 16 and where they each won their respective divisions.

“I knew when I first saw her that she was someone special,” recalls Greg with a wink. “We stayed in touch after that but didn’t get married until 10 years later. Maybe there was too much tennis in between,” he laughs.

Indeed. Both were CIF singles cham-pions in high school, both played at Division I colleges. Greg was a two-time All-American at Long Beach State and ranked no. 1 at uSC, and Katrina played at Trinity College in Texas, where she was athlete of the year. And both played on the professional tour. Their remark-able tennis careers have been chronicled many times.

Their four children have experienced early success on the tennis court, too. oldest daughter, Jessica, 17, a senior at Ramona High School and top-ranked nationally in the girls under 18 category, will be attending uSC on a tennis schol-arship. She is already ranked 839th in the world by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). She and Greg won the “father-daughter” nationals just last June.

Julia, 11, is hot on her heels and currently ranked 25th in her age group in Southern California. Josh, 14, and Joel, 10, are also accomplished tennis players but are experimenting with other sports. Josh is currently the top freshman at RHS in mountain biking.

Fifth H.E.A.R.T. Mural Dedication SetThe historic Kenilworth

Inn is the subject of a fifth mural from the H.e.A.R.T.

Mural Project. A dedication ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m., March 28, at the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet building, 773 Main St.

The mural, painted by artist Linda Luisi on aluminum panels,

will be installed on the west-facing wall of the Food and Clothes Closet site, where the Kenilworth Inn stood before burning to the ground in 1943.

The artist’s work is known for perspective, depth and dimension.

The public is welcome, and refreshments will be served.

Luisi will be available to sign copies of her mural image.

A donor plaque listing those who contributed $100 or more toward the mural will be placed next to the mural. Prospective donors may visit www.ramonamurals.com. n

shots and strategies, of course, but courtesy is as much a part of the game as the game itself. And, how you play the game — how you conduct yourself — translates into how you live your daily life.”

The Faillas — together with Greg’s parents, Don and nancy Failla, of Ramona — also share in the operation of Failla Villa, a 4,000-square-foot, five-star retreat on 4.5 acres on the edge of the Country estates, with lodging and multiple services and accommodations including, naturally, regulation clay and grass tennis courts.

“We play tennis there, of course,” says Greg. “But it’s really a place where tennis —

and all the other activities and amenities we offer — can be experienced in an idyllic setting in the context of nature. There are spiritual reminders posted along some of the pathways around the property for those of faith, but it is also the perfect getaway for those who simply want to enjoy some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Many of our visitors come initially with the intention of sightseeing around San Diego but end up never leaving the premises.”

Sometimes it’s more than just about tennis.
