The Greiners, who still call Ramona home, are the proud new owners of Mystery CafĂŠ Dinner Theater in San Diego.

Although she had dabbled in singing and acting as a child, Mary, a self-professed introvert, prefers to take a behind-the-scenes role these days, handling the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always enjoyed the shows and now I get to help make them happen,â&#x20AC;? said the Class of 1998 graduate, who hopes to help build the business by drawing on her experience as a store manager for Star-

Spotlight on Local | Businesses Jeremy's entices with farm fresh, innovative cuisine

By KAREN BRAINARD Chef Jeremy Manley, the inspiration behind Jeremy's on the Hill, has come a long way since the days he helped out in his family's resort kitchen as a boy.

This month the 28-yearold Le Cordon Bleutrained chef is celebrating the seventh year of Jeremy's on the Hill, the California style bistro he co-owns with his mother, Teresa Stilson-Keller, in Wynola. Specializing in farm-to-table, Manley strives to use as many local products as possible, including produce and meats. He also serves local wines and beers.

"We kind of pioneered the local wine movement," Manley said. "The whole local and sustainable movement is something we embrace."

That's a move that has paid off for the co-owners.

"The restaurant has become so popular, it has become a destination," said Stilson-Keller.

Jeremy's even attracts customers from Orange

County and Los Angeles who come on a regular basis.

"We hear all the time they can't believe there's this quality of food in the backcountry," said Stilson-Keller.

The restaurant also has "an incredible customer base in Ramona," she noted.

Manley's family formerly owned Angel's Landing Country Inn and Resort in Julian where his aunt, Karla Ludtke, was the chef and showed him how to cook. Catering and hosting weddings was a big part of their business.

"I loved what I was doPUN 4HUSL` ZHPK YLÅLJ[ing on his childhood.

When Manley was 16 years old, he took over as chef for a wedding party when his aunt was not there. It just so happened that the executive chef from Disneyland was part of the wedding party staying at the resort. The Disneyland chef talked to Manley about his culinary options, which led him to Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco. After the

"They feel like they're on a picnic," said StilsonKeller.

Practicing the sustainability, the chef said he will use seasonal, fresh WYVK\JL HUK [OLU ÄSS PU on the menu.

Manley, himself, practices a healthy lifestyle and understands some people have different dietary needs. So, while he serves grass-fed burgers, bison burgers, a catch of the day, steaks, and other entrees that can change weekly, he also offers different kinds of "quinoa bowls" that have been popular with customers.

Adults pitch the many perks of Ramona Pony Baseball

By KAREN BRAINARD Playing Pony Baseball is like a vacation.

So said Tim Fidler, president of the Ramona youth baseball league at its opening day March 7.

"You've got kids out here learning, getting exercise," he said. "It's just like entertainment, like a vacation."

Spending time with friends on warm sunny days, the smell of barbecue and the feel of being part of a big family, a

baseball community, all contribute to the Pony experience, he told a crowd of families and players.

During the ceremonies, Ramona Food & Clothes Closet donated $2,500 for the league's Sports Saves Kids Scholarship Program. Jeff Funk, Ramona Food & Clothes Closet Board chair, and Jae Marciano, general THUHNLY VM [OL UVUWYVĂ&#x201E;[ presented the check.

"When you give to us, you give back to the community," Marciano said.

Fidler presented the Volunteer of the Year award to Dougan Dimmitt, who has served on the Ramona Pony Baseball board, and has been a manager, coach, and all-around help to the league.

The Lifetime Achievement Award went to the Dave and Kelly Roe family. Dave Roe has been a manager and coach, and Kelly had served on the board.

Access to public lands "is a very high priority for us," said Michael Harrison, deputy chief of staff for Congressman Duncan Hunter, at the March 3 Ramona Trails Association meeting. "I've been working on it constantly."

Among the protected species in the grasslands are golden and bald eagles, and Stephens' kangaroo rats.

Harrison, a Ramona resident, and staff from the county's Parks and Recreation Department gave the status of efforts to open more areas of the grasslands for public use. The topic drew interested trail users from Ramona and Lakeside.

While Old Survey 97 is closed to the general public, Dave Holt, parks and recreation's district manager, said the department can implement a docent-led interpretive program for the trail in the grasslands' northwest portion, as it is in the county's resource management plan. Hold said he is looking for volunteer docents who can lead hikers or horseback riders and training will be provided. The interpretive hikes will focus on natural resources, he said, and would occur outside of nesting season.

Anyone interested in volunteering and obtaining an

application should contact Cheryl Wegner, the volunteer coordinator, at 858966-1335.

The county has conducted studies, monitoring the golden and bald eagles on the grasslands. Christine Sloan, chief of park and recreation's Resource Management System, said the purpose of the study is to gather data to show Fish & Wildlife that the raptors can co-exist with humans.

Jennifer Price, also with the resource management system, said surveys were conducted between Sept.

26, 2013 and Aug. 30, 2014 for four-hour slots between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

The golden eagles, observed for 13 days, used the entire preserve for foraging. An off-site golden eagle nest in the Bandy Canyon area was monitored twice, said Price.

Although a pair of golden eagles appeared to be interested no active nest was found, she said.

Bald eagles also use the preserve for foraging and a pair nested in 2013 and 2014 near a Ramona Airport runway, she said.

"This bald eagle pair loves this area," she added, noting that bald eagles usually nest near lakes but these two appear to forage on ground squirrels.

An attendee, however, said the eagles go after ducks in the Ramona Municipal Water District spray Ă&#x201E;LSKZ ^OPJO HYL HSZV ULHY the nest site.

Asked about the county's plans to create a staging area and more trails in the grasslands off Montecito Way just north of the airport, Holt said the county had the design completed, hired contractors and was ready to go, but the project was halted when the Stephens' kangaroo rat was discovered nearby. He said a re-design may be required to avoid the burrows, and the county and Fish and Wildlife will be meeting to discuss it.

waste of Mr. Barnumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time? I think not.

Truck. I did not understand the need for the district to spend $110,000 on a brand new top-of-the-line truck. Despite unanimous agreement at the January meeting that staff had failed to make its case for approval, Mr. Barnum came back at the next board meeting with essentially the same agenda memo, claiming that the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction was not clear. With additional information, the board approved the truck (which if I had it to do over, I would have voted no).

It seemed to me that, for staff, following an administrative procedure was more important than saving the ratepayers money. A used truck at a fraction of the cost of a new truck was good enough for the Lakeside Water District, but not good enough for Ramona? I think not.

Legal Counsel. For the legal counsel vacancy, staff only

presented to the Board three of the eight candidates. Why? The board chooses legal counsel, not staff. When I asked who the V[OLY Ă&#x201E;]L JHUKPKH[LZ ^LYL 4Y Barnum simply handed me the eight proposals and told me to look for myself! To my knowledge, the other four directors still do not know who the other Ă&#x201E;]L JHUKPKH[LZ HYL Information Technology (IT) Conversion. To provide oversight over the critical upgrade to new IT systems, I asked the board to establish an Ad Hoc Committee. This is a critical project affecting ratepayers, end-users, suppliers and employees, yet this project is at the bottom of Mr. Barnumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of priorities! Scary.

Email Address. For public agencies like RMWD, responsibilities need to be exercised with transparency. To improve that transparency, I asked the board to allow me to set up my own email address as Division III representative to whom

anyone could write. As a compromise, I reluctantly agreed to have RMWD add â&#x20AC;&#x153;Board of Directorsâ&#x20AC;? to the drop-down menu on its website, rather than an email address not channeled through the RMWD website.

Despite board approval, despite support from the Sentinel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; its editorial staff and some of its readers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, most importantly, despite just one email having been received by the new system (hardly a time-consumer for staff), Mr. Barnum just cannot let this one go, claiming it will prevent him from getting anything done this year!

New Idea. Had I stayed on the board, I would have proposed shared services and consolidation, both of which could result in substantial savings for the ratepayers. RMWD is among the smaller districts in San Diego County, and already outsources engineering and legal services. Why not out-

source administrative services?

Economies of scale bring costs down dramatically. Fallbrook and Rainbow water districts did something similar and saved a million dollars. Similar savings could be realized for Ramona, but the board would need to authorize funds for a feasibility study to determine the exact level of savings. Eventually, RMWD could be brought in under the umbrella of another district (Poway, for example).

Does San Diego County really need 24 districts?

Mr. Barnum has made a federal case out of an email address. Can you imagine what he would do with this idea?

OBITUARIES Mary Cook

amona Sentinel

1933 – 2015 Mary Cook, 81, of Ramona, CA, passed away on Wednesday, February 11, 2015.

Born November 1, 1933, in San Pedro, California, she was the daughter of the late Frank Tice, CPO. She is survived by her daughter, Caren Cook of Orlando, FL; two sons,

Donald (Leigh) Cook Jr. of San Diego, CA, and Robert Scott (Robin) Cook of Ramona, CA; four grandchildren, Jaclyn, Crystal, Sophia and John; and one great-grandchild, Landon.

Mary will always be lovingly remembered by her family as the “tough one.” She took on the world raising her family, two horses,

sister, Rachel, as her own kin and I will always be grateful to that kind embrace. She always thought of everyone first and gave to family, friends, and her community with all her heart asking for nothing in return. As hard shelled as she was she had the softest heart even if you crossed her. She’d let you know about it but in the end she was a fair

women. Mary I will miss you, you know I will! Love you always, Sarah Cook Ruggera.”

Mary will join her loving husband, Donald Sr. during a private family ceremony at Fort Rosecrans in Point Loma on March 13, 2015.

Supervisors OK accepting bids for cameras on deputies The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to begin taking bids for cameras that sheriff's deputies can wear on their uniforms.

Law enforcement agencies in the region and across the country are starting to acquire the JHTLYHZ ZV [OH[ VMĂ&#x201E;JLYZ can record interactions with the public. Sheriff Bill Gore wrote in his proposal that the devices, sometimes called "bodyworn cameras," increase accountability on the part VM IV[O VMĂ&#x201E;JLYZ HUK [OL public.

Many agencies that

use cameras have seen PTWYV]LTLU[ PU VMĂ&#x201E;JLY performance as well as the conduct of the community members who are recorded.

"This is a partnership," Gore said. "The whole purpose is to increase that trust between law enforcement and the communities we serve."

Crime scene recordings can provide investigators, prosecutors and juries with detailed, accurate and compelling evidence, and could be used in training sessions, he said.

Authorities seek help solving missing person cold case Authorities asks for the public's help in solving the case of a missing child who disappeared from the Ramona area nearly 28 years ago.

Elaina Eugenia Rivera was 13 when her father reported missing on June 29, 1987, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. He told authorities that Elaina was last seen three days earlier around 6:30 p.m. in the 14000 block of Mussey Grade Road.

"At the time of her disappearance, Elaina was described as standing 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing about 90 pounds with long brown hair and brown eyes," a

sheriff's bulletin said. "She has a small scar on the right side of her upper lip."

Anyone with information about what happened to Elaina is asked to call sheriff's homicide detectives at 858-974-2321 or Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at 888-580-8477.
