Ramona Writing Group is calling it quits after 32 years. aspiring writers and published authors have

been getting together twice a month since 1982, first as a class under Palomar College, then as an individual group at Ramona Senior Center.

annette Williams has been leading the group for the past few years. She has attended classes “off and on” since 1988. as attendance kept going down, the decision was made to curtail regular meetings. There may be occasional meetings scheduled from time to time, she said.

“In the 1980s and ‘90s, when the writing group was going strong, we had more than two dozen students in the Palomar College class,” Williams said. “as we improved in our writing, we encour-aged each other to enter the San Diego Showcase Writers Club’s yearly competi-tion. It was exciting to see our stories and poems published in the annual Showcase Writers’ anthology.”

The purpose of the group is to encourage each other and offer helpful critiques of their writings. They also provide information on self-publishing and other opportunities that are available in the publishing world.

“Classmates regularly wrote stories and articles, fine-tuning them with each other’s help.” Williams said. “These items

were often accepted for publication in magazines covering a wide variety of interests, from science fiction and poetry to true-life stories and technology.”

The group has attracted a wide assort-ment of writing styles over the years.

“In the last decade, the group welcomed members with a serious focus on writing books,” Williams said. “With today’s ease of print-on-demand publish-ing, many of us now have multiple titles in print and available as e-books.”

One of the main criteria stressed by the group is being comfortable with what the writers hear from each other when their work is critiqued.

“Writing is such a personal involve-ment that comes from you that we can all relate to,” Gaille Brennan said. “It’s so important for everyone in the group to have the trust of others.”

Brennan has been attending the group since 2006. She wrote a memoir about her granddaughter but has not had it published. an earlier book she authored was published in 1974, written at the university level for teachers of adult education.

Williams has published three books. One is a Christian reference book that she sells mainly at church seminars where her husband, Dewayne Williams, is on the speaking docket. She also has published two family memoirs.

Karie Emanuelson has had letters to

the editor published in newspapers.albie Stark has written 10 books,

mostly historic romance novels. They have yet to be published.

Ralph and Sharon Cates are each working on their books, Ralph on his fourth since the first was published in 1990, and Sharon on her first

unpublished book.Bruce Gallagher writes books about

native plants, observations on religion, memoirs and fiction.

“One of the interesting things since this group has been meeting is the whole publishing industry has changed tremendously,” Gallagher said. “It

depends on what your objective is.”Gallagher, as well as other writers in

the group, use a self-publishing method known as “print on demand.”

Former member Ruth Froiland, who now lives in New Mexico, contacted the group with some of her fondest memo-ries. She became an active member in the early 1980s, when it was taught by Hal Lingerman from Palomar College.

“I was in Hal’s class and loved it,” Froiland wrote. “He used music to stimu-late our creative abilities. I remember Dorace Scarbery and Charlotte Mortimer were in the class, and perhaps Lark Burkhart. There were others, but I’ve for-gotten who. Zee Payne was in the group early in our years and allen Pyeatt —

wonderful memories of those days.” another former member was Shirley

Wells, now living in arizona.“When I first heard about the class, I

was so excited to go,” Wells wrote. “I was staying up all night writing things, just anything that came to my mind.”

Through the class, Wells learned important tips and techniques to becoming a good writer and launching her career in writing. She was in the early classes taught by Lingerman.

“The one important thing I got from Hal Lingerman’s class was to write exactly what you mean to say,” Wells recalled. “In other words, don’t halfway say it, be extremely self-explanatory.” n

Visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., brings reminders closer to home of the ill-fated war. The wall depicts

the names of more than 58,000 men and women who died in the war or are still missing in action.

The black granite wall was built in 1982, and covers three acres. It is one of the most visited sites on the National Mall. Docents stand nearby to assist visitors looking for a particular name, to answer questions or to make a rubbing that becomes a permanent keepsake of the name of a lost hero.

The mission of the wall is: “To honor Vietnam Veterans and heal the wounds of a nation.” The wall is dedicated to honor the “courage, sacrifice and devotion to duty and country” of all who served during the war.

The names of seven men from Ramona are engraved on the wall — Duane Bowen, Tanner Brown, Thomas Green, Roger Kelley, Eureka Schmittou, James Smith and Marvin White.

These same seven names also are at a memorial site at Schwaesdall Winery in Ramona. It was dedicated in 1990 by the late high school teacher Thomas Skahan, who had six of

the men as students when they attended school here.

The memorial was built by the late Edward Schwaesdall. The senior Schwaesdall designed the memorial and poured it in his foundry.

“Dad designed the whole thing,” John Schwaesdall said. “I helped him pour it, but he did all the work.”

Schwaesdall hosts a Memorial Day service each year with the local Veterans of Foreign Wars; it is his way to honor the memories and last-ing tributes of the fallen men.

Schwaesdall has located families of five of the seven men. He continues to search for information on the families of Brown and Smith. He also is trying to obtain photos of the seven men from their military days.

He has invited the family members he has contacted to the visit the site. Some of them have attended the Memorial Day service. Visitors also stop by the memorial site during the year.

“Every once in a while, we’ll see a car there at the memorial,” Schwaesdall said. “They leave flowers.”

The winery is located at 17677 Rancho de Oro Rd. The memorial is visible from State Route 67.

The seven men’s names also are listed on the War Memorial Wall at Nuevo Memory Gardens. n

While a picture may be worth a thousand words, the adventure to seek it out can be priceless.

Such is the case for avid photo-grapher and

longtime Ramona resident John Jones, who started snapping shots in the mid-1980s.

“Back then, we used film,” he chuckled.He learned about a photo contest in

Parade magazine. “The theme was about the united States — where it

had been and where it was going,” he shared. after pondering the question, he began to produce

an image in his mind. He envisioned Mount Rushmore National Memorial and four of the nation’s presidents etched within the granite. Behind them, a star-studded sky would represent the future, which Jones believed would be a reflection of future space exploration.

“I decided I was going to put my whole heart into getting that shot,” he said.

He took a six-week vacation and made his way to South Dakota. He convinced park rangers to leave lights on the monument after dark so he could mirror the image in his mind.

For three days he sat under a cloud-covered sky, freezing yet hopeful the weather would clear.

“I never once saw a star, and I never did get the shot,” he said.

He knew it was time to move on. Eventually he found himself in downtown

In October 1989, Richard Raher, who was senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Ramona at the time, and church

member Leslie Garrison set a goal to care for the community in a special way by opening the Ramona Pregnancy Care Clinic.

“They desired to be a positive response to the problem of abortion,” said anita Krisik, who became the clinic’s director during its second year and is currently the executive director.

“It was under my leadership that the organization moved to its present loca-tion (off Main Street in the McDonald’s shopping center) and later began offer-ing medical services. We now have our own ultrasound program for those considering their pregnancy options.”

The clinic recently held an annual fundraiser at Mountain View Community Church that featured model, actress, writer and speaker Jennifer O’Neill as the keynote speaker. Mark Larson, best known for his voice on San Diego talk-radio, was the event emcee. united States Representative Duncan Hunter, State assemblyman Brian Jones and Honorary Ramona Mayor Sharon Davis were on hand to recognize the clinic for its contributions to the community.

Nearly 300 supporters were also in attendance, and more than $46,000 in

gifts and pledges were given for the next year.

“The clinic operates entirely on pri-vate donations and grants from those in the community,” said Krisik.

The staff assists an average of 200 women each year with a variety of s ervices, including pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and medical visits designed to link a woman to prenatal care, pregnancy classes, support groups, childbirth preparation classes and

Rhonda Cooke and her husband, David Selmier, have been Ramona

residents since 2010. They were recently thinking of ways they could give back to the commu-nity — specifically to Ramona’s youth — when Cooke opened the Oct. 23 edition of the Ramo-na Home Journal. She discovered a story about the new construc-tion program being offered at Montecito High School (MHS).

“If it hadn’t been for the article, I never would have known,” she said. “I opened up the Journal and read the entire article, and it touched me. By the time I got to the list I, said, ‘I can help! This is easy!’”

Inspired by the story about instructor Nick Jordan and the new program, and moved by the call to action to help the class stock up on building supplies, tools and safety equip-ment, Cooke took a ride to the Montecito High campus.

Her spur-of-the-moment visit led to a very generous donation of dozens of the items request-ed on Jordan’s needs list, as well as a check for $1,000 for use at local Ransom Brothers Lumber & Supply.

“If you have the ability to help in any way, how could you not help when it gives young adults the opportunity to direct their own futures? I went and met with Nick, and as fate would have it, he was getting ready for a free period, so I got to see them finish up a sidewalk.”

as students were working on the concrete, Cooke talked with Jordan.

“He is gracious, knowledge-able and well respected by the students. It is key that they respect him, and he respects them. He says he’s like the Pied Piper.”

Jordan told her the class needed safety equipment very badly.

“He prioritized and said they needed gloves and safety glasses. I went to Home Depot and fulfilled that order.”

She brought her purchases to the school on Oct. 30, and the students were all there.

“It was really rewarding, and I am going to continue helping,” she said.

“We absolutely loved doing it,” David Selmier said of the family’s donation.

Cooke’s visit to MHS gave the construction program and its new teacher a boost in confidence. Her donation

will go a long way toward keeping the students occupied and their imaginations soaring,

lighting to illuminate tissue defects, lesions and cancer much better than visualiza-tion alone. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and is non-invasive and painless.

Dr. Liske believes that screening and early detection are not only important for patients, but for the overall health of the community. Call Dr. Liske’s office at 760-789-9500. n

as Jordan can now stock the workshop with much-needed consumable materials.

Cooke’s inspirational move was not unnoticed by the Ramona unified School District, which featured pictures on their Facebook page showing Jordan receiving the $1,000 check from Cooke, and the grateful students expressing their appreciation for the new supplies.

Jordan added that the feedback on the Journal story has been amazing, and that many folks emailed to see how they could help. He thanked Ramona Home Journal read-ers and said that the school always welcomes donations to its influential Career Technical Education program.

Funds such as those donated by Rhonda Cooke and her fam-ily are helping hardworking students build a bright future.

“This is key — people can help Nick Jordan build a quality workshop for the school,” Cooke said. “I will be pursuing that!” n

Writers for Ramona Home Journal and Julian Journal walked away

with a whopping 15 awards in San Diego Press Club’s 41st annual Excellence in Journalism competition.

“Our writers are proof that they do, indeed, demonstrate ‘excellence in journalism’ in their writing skills,” publisher Carol Kinney said. “The majority of the stories we enter continue to win awards year after year.”

Combined winnings of the five writers — Darrell Beck, Ruth Lepper, Johnny McDonald,

Tracy Rolling and annette Williams — were four first-place awards, six second-place and four third-place.

The winning categories for non-daily newspapers and magazine writing covered crimi-nal justice, history, government, public service, business, military,

sports, arts and entertainment, travel, and reviews.

Williams brought home two first-place plaques. One was for a government story about Supervisor Dianne Jacob’s Coffee with Constituents visit in Ramona. The other was “Home Medical Device users May Qualify for Reduced SDG&E

Rates” in the Julian Journal.Beck’s first-place award was

for a history piece on “The Swycaffers, Ballena Pioneers.” He won a second-place award in the military category about his ride in a B-17 aircraft at Ramona airport.

Lepper placed first and

second in the criminal justice category for “Family Ties Bind CHP Father and Son” in the Julian Journal and “CHP Officer Honored” in Ramona Home Journal.

She also won a second-place award in business writing for “Hobby Grows into Worldwide Business” about Woody

Ransom Brothers True Value Postalannex representatives were recognized at a national convention last month for having the Greatest Year-Year Change in Sales for a three-year-old store in 2013.

“With the support of the community, our store has seen amazing growth since our

store opened,” said co-owner Jimmy Gilchriest. “We are one of the smallest Postalannex stores in the franchise because we are in the back of our hardware store. However, we are showing growth right in line with some of the top- performing stores.

Gilchriest said that customer

service is the key to their success.

“In this day and age, there are so many options for ship-ping and business services. We do extensive training to assure our customers have all the cor-rect options and information to make the best decision for their personal and business needs.” n

anyone who has spent years involved with Little League or PONY baseball — either as a youth or a parent — will enjoy the hilarious

situations from Richard Dresser’s “Rounding Third.” The play is currently in production at Vista’s

Broadway Theater, under the talented guidance of producing owners Randall Hickman and Douglas Davis.

Stars Torre Younghans and Randall Huft have captured the essence of the play and the personas of the two coaches. It is a two-man production and definitely belongs to Younghans and Huft, under Hickman’s direction.

Younghans plays Don, a seasoned coach whose son is the star of the team. Michael, played by Huft, signs on as the new assistant coach to spend time with his son, who is far from team stardom.

as the baseball season progresses, the two men get to know each other as it becomes

obvious this not the beginning of a new friend-ship. Some of the situations portrayed here could not be a figment of the writer’s imagination; they had to come from true-life drama, especially the kind that takes place on a youth ball field.

Everyone will leave the theater with memories not only from the play but flashbacks to their own days being involved in youth baseball.

Performances continue through Nov. 19, with show times at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays through Sundays and at 1 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $21.

Ramona Municipal Water District General Manager David Barnum and board

of directors President Darrell Beck sat down with the media recently to go over several projects and problems facing the district.

Barnum shared some inac-curacies from Director Rex Schildhouse that were pub-lished last month on an online media site. In his comments, Schildhouse claims that he has unsuccessfully requested specific items to appear on agendas for several board meet-ings. Barnum, however, said that accusation is false and that he has never received an official request from Schildhouse.

“any individual board mem-ber can submit an agenda item,” Barnum explained. “They submit it to me. I distribute it to staff. They don’t edit them; I don’t edit them.”

Schildhouse’s requests for agenda items do not always follow proper procedures and often come via emails. Some of his requests have appeared on agendas, Barnum said, but other requests have named specific district employees.

“Some (requests) had to be redacted because he names staff,” Barnum said. “He attacks them.”

Barnum said he is concerned about inaccurate information getting out into the community.

He has received several com-plaints and comments about Schildhouse and is willing to discuss them.

“What we are hearing from the community (are questions) about Rex and not about the board or the staff,” Barnum said.

The general manager and the board, as well as the legal counsel, have offered to meet with Schildhouse to go over his claims and provide him with correct information.

“We have struggled with everything we can do with Rex,” President Beck said. “We offered to do a workshop, and he voted against it. We offered a meeting with (the general manager, board president and legal counsel) and he called it a threat.

“He’s using this platform to mislead the public,” Beck contin-ued. “He’s called me a liar many times at the board meetings. I can’t say anything; I have to run those meetings by the Brown act and Policy 1 of the RMWD code.”

Schildhouse, whose Division III covers most of San Diego Country Estates, is in the middle of a four-year term. He will continue to serve on the board through the end of 2016.

Several of the ongoing proj-ects for the water district have to do with Division III. Without Schildhouse in attendance at the board meetings (he has walked out on more than one occasion) or refusing to vote on business items that come

before the board, the constitu-ents in Division III are without representation.

Barnum said the Poway Pump Station Project is nearing completion. after three years in the planning stages, the pump station was built at a cost of $1.9 million and was covered by money the district receives from property taxes.

The San Vicente Road Project was started in September and will take about 18 months to complete widening the road. It is mainly a project of the County of San Diego’s Public Works Department. RMWD is respon-sible for replacing water pipes along the route.

a rate/fees study for the San Vicente recycled water brought rates down for customers in that area.

Fire Station 81, located in Country Estates, will soon be undergoing a remodeling project for housing fire trucks and other equipment.

a partnership with Ramona unified School District for a “splash lab” is continuing.

Ramona is in its third year of a drought, and that raises concerns for the water district and board of directors. It also means extra diligence for the fire department in providing protection against possible wildfires breaking out. n

we are able to keep our doors open because of financial dona-tions from the community that cover the overhead,” said Krisik.

The clinic also distributes gently used maternity and baby clothes up to size two, baby equipment, diapers and formula.

“We are always open to those types of donations,” she added.

“It’s our desire to be the first choice of women with unplanned pregnancies. When we are the first choice, the second choice of abortion will eventually disappear. We are already seeing that.”

Coming up in November and early December is the clinic’s adopt-a-Mom Christmas Tree project.

“It provides helpful informa-tion to individuals about one of our mothers and her baby, so they can provide Christmas gifts to both,” said Krisik.

Wildfires are no longer a seasonal concern but have become a year-round threat in California

— particularly in Ramona and neighbor-ing communities. However, because of Ramona’s natural terrain, there are native resources in abundance to help protect your home and property from the threat of wildfires.

translation: We have a lot of rocks.

Rocks alone will not save your home

from a wildfire, but their strategic use and placement in conjunction with more traditional landscaping can provide extra barriers of protection. Why? Because most rocks on earth — and in Ramona — are silicates and will not burn. That’s a good thing in a wildfire.

Rocks can be used in various ways to create fuel breaks. For example, gravel or stone can be incorporated into protective zones of 3 to 5 feet around your home, with low-lying plants spaced well apart from each other. They can be

used to border pathways, which at the same time can serve as fire barriers for low-crawling flames.

This same “bordering” technique can be applied along the inside and outside of perimeter fencing. Rocks can also be formed into tiers, especially on hillsides, where high-moisture, flame-resistant vegetation such as ice plant and red bud can thrive around them. and, they can

be clustered into interesting formations to envelop and protect small plants and even short trees.

Smaller rocks can be used as filler to plug some of the crevices between larger rocks or boulders.

The whole idea is to create landscape conditions that don’t support the spread of fire to other vegetation or to struc-tures, and rocks can serve as the basis for creating these conditions.

Where to find rocks? Well, they

aren’t hard to find. Many of them may probably be seen just sitting around your property, waiting to be put to good use. If they’re not visible, you only have to plunge your spade into the ground a few inches before hearing that distinc-tive metallic “clink” of a rock just under the surface.

They can be found in different colors and different shapes — some round, some square, some jagged — so it’s just a matter of personal preference for different uses. The round, pitted rocks that look a lot like human brains are great for creating uniform buffer zones,

while the larger ones are usually best for bordering.

There is a common misconception that so-called “defensible landscaping” requires that your property be con-verted into a virtual wasteland. Wrong! You just have to be smart about all new plantings and about maintaining existing trees or vegetation — and be creative.

In general, strive to create two zones: a home defense fuel zone up to 30 feet from your home, and a property-reduced fuel zone 30 to 100 feet from your home, and use the following guidelines:

• Remove dead plants and other combustible material (brush) up to 100 feet from your home.

• Cut any tree limbs extending over the roof.

• In general, have smaller, shorter plants closer to your home and larger trees on the outer perimeter, with plenty of space between them, rather than clusters.

• Keep trees trimmed 6 to 10 feet from the ground. Since fire travels faster uphill, you might have to trim as high as 20 feet or more between tree crowns, depending on the slope of your property.

Finally, accent your defense zones with rocks, rocks and more rocks to create important fuel breaks and protect your existing vegetation, and perhaps even your home.

Rocks can be beautiful in their own way. n

played on that hot July day.” He began snapping photos,

speaking with the children’s parents, and quickly made friends. Before he could set down his camera, they invited him to a spaghetti dinner.

“The photo wasn’t a winner. But the adventure to pursue it outweighed winning by far,” he said, realizing that sometimes a contest theme is merely an inspiration for adventure.

Recently, a photo he took in Ramona proved to be more than an adventure. It is featured in the November 2014 issue of The Rotarian magazine. The two-page spread represents patriotism, camaraderie and the “Spirit of Rotary.”

When the publication — established in 1911 as the official magazine of Rotary International — had a call for entries, Jones’ wife, Sheila, a Rotarian, encouraged him to participate.

“Originally, I had two ideas,” he said.

The first was inspired by Mark Mcanelly, also a Rotarian, who had shared about a program called “a Thousand Smiles.” Rotarians working with doctors and nurses pro-bono help children suffering from cleft palates.

Knowing that corrective sur-geries can be life-altering, Jones

thought the subject would make a great example of Rotary spirit. When it came time to take the shot, he came down with an ill-ness and was

unable to make the trip. With his second idea fresh

in his mind, he grabbed his camera and called the Ramona Rotary “flag team.”

Darrel and Carol Kinney, also Rotarians, are responsible for meticulously lining Main Street with more than 70 u.S. flags on most major patriotic holidays. They summoned additional help from fellow Rotarians amber Ramirez, Robert Vaughn and Sheila Jones. Each with a flag in their hand, they posed for the shot, demonstrating not only how the flags are inserted into 18-inch sockets along the sidewalk, but what it means to have pride of country and town.

“It was around Veterans Day last year,” Jones said, telling how he had studied Ramona Town Hall and knew the building’s shadows and other factors that contributed to the photo’s success.

He confessed he was disap-pointed when he didn’t win, yet

surprised when the publication called to say his photo would be featured in the November 2014 issue.

“It’s a huge honor.” Proud of his friend, Darrel

Kinney explained that Jones has won numerous awards, including placing second in a Borrego Springs competition and an honorable mention at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar.

Kinney, who has accom-panied Jones on countless adventures, said, “Watching him work is pretty cool. He brings the camera lens to his face and finds a way to capture something creatively.”

Passionate about the Rotary and its mission, Kinney said, “I think the flag program is a great community project. When John mentioned his idea, I knew it would be a great tribute.”

“We used to hang the flags on lamp posts, but it was hard to get them up, and danger-ous, too,” said former Rotarian Bernie Kuhn, who helped facilitate and install 70 sockets nearly 20 years ago.

Today, Jones continues to grab his Nikon D800 — his equipment of choice — and seek new adventures. as the owner of a lighting mainte-nance business catering to Southern California, he does photography in his spare time and has shot weddings, family portraits, sporting events, landscapes, and corporate and media scenes.

“With photography, you live and learn,” Jones said. “It’s fun to enter the contests, because they give us a focus. But ultimately, it’s not about the win — it’s about the adventure!” n
