Dinner with Captain Morgan benefits mural project “Dinner with Captain Morgan,” an event to benefit the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28, at 5:30 p.m. in San Vicente Resort. “They had so much fun around the pool at the San Vicente Inn at last year’s luau, they’re doing it again,” S. Elaine Lyttleton, project president, said in an announcement. “Only this time they’re not doing the limbo or hula to raise money for their mural. They’re planning to shake
the booty out of the villagers’ pockets by pillaging for pennies and pieces of eight.” Continuing, Lyttleton said, “All things going according to their dastardly plot, the San Diego Country Estates Association is hoping to complete the funding with this event for the mural they plan to sponsor in the town of Ramona which will promote awareness of their community through art.” Cost is $30 per person. In addition to fun and
food, there will be an opportunity drawing for a $500 Cruise for Two donated by Town & Country Real Estate & Home Loans, games and more. “Come in costume,” said Lyttleton. “There’ll be a prize for the best-dressed pirate.” Make checks payable to the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project and take to the front desk of the resort, 24157 San Vicente Road. For more information, call Stephanie Norvell at 760-789-9995.

Cowboy’s horse recovering from rough run-in with bull By JOE NAIMAN Ramona cowboy Chad Waldhauser’s horse Snort continues to recover from an injury suffered at the Optimist Bulls Only Rodeo in Lakeside. “He’ll make a full recovery. It’s just going to take some time,” said Waldhauser. “He’s got quite a ways to go. He’s going to be OK, but it’s going to be a while before he heals up.”
Waldhauser was a pickup man at the rodeo. During the second session the pick-up men were trying to escort a bull into the exit chute. “It was going pretty normal,” Waldhauser said. “At the last second he turned back and caught us against the fence. We were too close to the fence and got caught up.” The horns of rodeo bucking bulls are clipped,
but the bull who charged Waldhauser and Snort deviated from many bulls whose horns are at an angle. “His horns pretty much went straight up,” Waldhauser said. One horn went into Snort. The contact was between Snort’s chest and shoulder muscle. A horse’s bicep is up in that area,” explained Waldhauser.
The original concern was that the horn punctured Snort’s chest cavity, a more critical area. The on-site veterinarian examined Snort and determined otherwise. “She gave us a thumbs up,” Waldhauser said. “We were pretty lucky.” Waldhauser learned the extent of the wound while applying treatment, saying, “I could stick my hand in there past my wrist.”
No fundraiser has been scheduled to cover Snort’s veterinary bills, but donations may be sent to Large Animal Veterinary Associates, 725 Jamacha Road, El Cajon, CA 92019 with a designation that the donation be used for Snort Bulls Only fund. In addition to the initial veterinary treatment, follow-up visits to Waldhauser’s Ramona ranch have been necessary.
Saying it needs financial help, Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District invites the public to two fundraising events on Sept. 28 — an open house and a motorcycle poker run. “Tough economic times have hit us all and we are doing our best to support this cause with declining resources from governmental agencies,” said a district representative. The open house will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Frank Lane Park and the district fire station, 2645 Farmers Road in Julian. Admission is free. In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the 2003 Cedar Fire, San Diego Harley Davidson will sponsor a motorcycle poker run, beginning at 8 a.m. with breakfast and “kick stands up” at 9 a.m., from 5600 Kearny Mesa Road, San Diego.
