Medical Helicopter Crew Challenges Students to Recognize Their Potential

By Jack Riordan ~ the journal

Students from Montecito high School, ramona elementary School, and nearby Montessori children’s

house & elementary gathered Feb. 19 in the large, grassy field that separates the schools.

With all eyes fixed to the sky, students heard their guests draw near before they saw them. It wasn’t long before a sleek and powerful red-and-black helicopter came into view, low and slow over the top of the MhS campus, passing directly over the heads of the students before making a perfect touchdown in the center of the field.

The helicopter belongs to air- ambulance service provider reach air Medical Services. While some say it’s difficult to capture the attention of a younger crowd, after their awesome entrance, the four-person chopper crew found a captive audience waiting for them as soon as they got their boots on the ground.

Their presentation began with reach’s assistant chief pilot in Southern california, Scott Kerchner, greeting the students and faculty and speaking briefly about what his com-pany does, what the crew members’ roles are, and some interesting

information about the helicopter itself. The crew then split up to meet

individually with the students and give more in-depth descriptions of what their day-to-day roles are like.

The purposes of the visit varied to

meet the needs of students, ranging from elementary to high school ages.

For the Montecito students, the event was one of a continuing series of opportunities the school offers them to see what life can be like after

high school for those who work hard and make the right choices.

“We’re trying to promote career pathways for our students,” said MhS Principal Dave Lohman. “What they see today is another example of a potential career path — not just as a pilot, but maybe as the mechanic who repairs it, or the aircrew that supports it, or the paramedic or nurse onboard.”

This particular crew and helicopter work out of the San Diego county Base reach 21 at Viejas casino in alpine. on a good day with little or no traffic on the roads, you could prob-ably drive to alpine from ramona in about 40 minutes. The reach chopper made the trip in just seven minutes. That fact — and the $5 million price tag for the helicopter — definitely caught the attention of the teenage crowd.

For the youngsters, they formed a line and were allowed to hop up into one side of the chopper, take a look around the confined quarters jam-packed with the highest-grade medical equipment on the market, and then hop out the other side, where crewmembers waited to answer their questions.

The visiting flight crew included pilot Matt “Blue” Miller, flight

paramedic ryan Morgan, flight nurse Brooke Inscore-raster and pilot Scott Kerchner.

They were all very enthusiastic in their interactions with the kids, but the largest crowds seemed to gather around Miller, who was all smiles.

Miller has been flying with reach for six months, and was a combat search and rescue pilot with the u.S. air Force for 14 years before that. he still flies on special operations for the navy reserves.

With that sort of resume, he was certainly prepared for the rapid-fire questions he faced from his incredibly excited hosts.

Some of the notable questions he received from the students were, “how much do I need to have to buy one so I can fly it to the beach?” and “Do you live in it? Is it your house?”

his answer to the latter question was that it is more like his office — that flies.

Miller has an 8-year-old son of his own, and has been asked plenty of questions by him, as well, such as wondering why it is important to go to school. he can give a tangible answer to that question by showing his son — and students who gather around him at meet-and-greet events — that to do a job like his, they have to work hard and apply themselves to their studies.

“If you do well in school, it doesn’t matter if you are a boy or girl, you can fly around as the pilot or be a flight nurse,” Miller said. “They are paying me to fly a fun machine around.”

where are You?Ramona Senior Center Wants to Know

By Jim Evans ~ the journal

The ramona Senior center — which meets in the ramona community

center — has been a virtual hub of activities for residents of all ages. It truly serves the entire community.

one of the most popular services over the years has been the daily midday meal, open to the public and fea-

turing wholesome, tasty, low-calorie food at 11:30 a.m., for a suggested donation of $4 for those above age 60, and $6 for those younger.

“You can’t beat the price,” says Senior center Board chairman Pete Bakarich with a laugh. “It’s basically free, because we can’t charge for it — we just encourage donations to help us offset the cost.”

however, turnout for lunch has inexplicably declined in recent months, which begs the question of “why?”

after all, the center is con-veniently located just a few short blocks away from the Main Street retail corridor and is adjacent to the parks and recreation complex; it offers an excellent menu published regularly in the ramona home Journal; it provides a pleasant and spacious social environment for dining; and it is hands-down the most

affordable eating experience in town. hands down!

So, why aren’t more people taking advantage of this unique community resource?

“You tell me,” says Bakarich. “Because, in addition to being a place to enjoy a quality meal, the center receives additional funding from the county for each person who eats at our facility as part of our 501(c)(3) status. This is money com-ing right back into our com-munity to help support all of our wonderful services, so it’s

really a win-win for all of us.” ramona Senior center

offers more than just an eat-ing experience, of course. The center also conducts a healthy-snack program and offers educational seminars on nutrition, cholesterol control and other related topics.

Most residents also know that the center offers more than just great lunches at a great price. It also offers a full schedule of activities for the whole community, including exercise classes, computer classes, games and so much more.

and don’t forget the popular annual rib Fest, set for June 18, at olive Peirce Middle School.

The bottom line? “come on down,” Bakarich says. “We’ll make you feel right at home, and the food is great.”

he says for lunch reserva-tions, call 760-789-0440. To check out the lunch menu and activities schedule, visit www.ramonaseniorcenter.com. n

three members, but on this day, Scott Kerchner came along to represent the company, as well. he says that the prerequisites to become reach aircrew members are pretty stringent.

The flight paramedic, for example, is required to have a minimum of three years of experience serving on an ambulance or with a fire depart-ment. a flight nurse must have five years of experience in an emergency room or intensive care unit.

Kerchner, a ramona resident since 1998, served for 26 years with the u.S. Marine corps as a helicopter pilot, and says that the training and experience

he received there directly translate to the type of work he does as a pilot with reach.

“We land in fields or unimproved lots, the sides of roads and places like that,” he said.

reach air Medical Services provides emergency medical care air and ground transport service in seven states, including throughout california. Their helicopters serve as flying emergency rooms that respond to car accidents and major injuries, and offer inter-facility transfers of critical patients.

reach 21 is relatively new, founded Dec. 21, 2015, and is one of two bases operating in San Diego county, along with reach 16 in oceanside.

Though there are additional heli-copter-equipped air medical transport services in San Diego, such as Mercy air, there is plenty to keep them all busy. The new reach 21 base is con-sidered a welcome addition by rural communities, like ramona, which were underserved by more distant bases that stay busy to capacity by responding to calls down the hill.

at the close of the crew’s presenta-tion, students on the ground watched as the reach team and helicopter gently lifted off and vanished over the horizon, showing them that for those prepared to meet the challenge, not even the sky is the limit. n

An Opportunity to Demonstrate Perfection By Tracy Rolling ~ the journal

on the last Saturday in February, 29 cadets from the ramona high School

nJroTc (navy Junior reserve officers’ Training corps) pro-gram earned the opportunity to demonstrate perfection — and that they did!

having qualified to attend the area 11 Field Meet championship, also referred to as “the Super-Bowl,” the ramona team was one of 17 schools competing in a variety

of disciplines, including athletics, academics, drill and personal inspection.

“There are 55 schools in our area, so this is a huge deal for us,” said Senior naval Science Instructor cDr Brad Davis.

The competition was held at Santa ana high School, where teams were judged by members of the military and given cumulative scores as the day progressed.

In the end, ramona took

seventh place overall and walked away with four trophies as well as an individual medal.

Sophomore Dylan Sanchez earned fourth place by completing 98 push-ups to a timed cadence.

“We are proud of all of the cadets,” said Davis, describ-ing the program as one that offers citizenship and leader-ship development, as well as instruction about maritime heritage.

all of the cadets partici-pated in a personal inspection,

where they were judged on their appearance, condition of uniform, and the correct application of pins, ribbons and insignias. They were also asked questions about current events and the naval chain of command during the inspection, and were required to respond in a designated manner. They took third place out of all the schools in this category.

The color Guard — made up of four cadets, each carry-ing a patriotic item such as an american flag, navy flag

and two decommissioned rifles — marched in unison to more than 75 commands. They secured a fifth-place trophy.

a team made up of elite scholars earned the unit a fifth-place trophy in academ-ics, and the armed exhibition Drill Team ended the day with a perfect score, taking home a fifth-place trophy. other units were awarded extra points for performing additional degrees of difficulty during their routines.

In addition to competing in field meets, cadets were

The CDC says heart disease accounts for 1 in 4 deaths. Recently, scientists at Forsyth Institute and Boston University confirmed “a very real link between oral health and heart disease.”

Periodontitis, or gum disease, is a bacteria-induced inflammatory condition that destroys gums, ligaments and bone. Left untreated, the gum infection can spread, with far-reaching cardiovascular effects! Chronic inflammation plays a key role in both Periodontitis and heart disease.

Gum disease doesn’t go away on its own. And healthy gums don’t bleed, become inflamed, or get infected. So when it comes to your heart health, it’s time to take your oral health very seriously.

Bacteria found in infected gum tissue around teeth breaks down the epithelial barrier between the gums and the underlying connective tissue. This allows chemical mediators of inflammation, antigens and bacteria to enter the bloodstream.

Scientists showed that treating periodontitis resulted in prevention of vascular inflammation, which can lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.

ON MEMORY’S BACK TRAIL

By Darrell Beck ~ the journal

Pioneers John and Mary dye

Mary ann Warnock was 7 years old in 1857, when she came to california

with her parents, William and ellen Warnock. They came by way of sailing vessel to the east coast of Panama, where they traversed the isthmus on pack mules to the Pacific coast, boarded another sailing ship and journeyed northward to San Francisco. They stayed there for a few months before

booking passage aboard the orizaba, a side-wheeler that brought them to old Town San Diego.

Passengers were trans- ported from the ship to shallow water in rowboats, then carried ashore “pig-a-back” by burly deckhands. From there, they traveled inland by horseback to join William’s brother, Sam Warnock, at Ballena Valley, where William soon took up a pre-emption claim at a place

called Santa Teresa. It was a time when wildlife

was plentiful, Indian huts and trails were present, and the land was open and untamed. at Santa Teresa, William devel-oped a living spring into an abundant water supply. The pioneer family lived in a makeshift shelter for three years while building a three-room adobe dwelling with a thatched roof, large fireplace and dirt floors covered with Indian rugs and mats. all build-ing materials, such as adobe and timber, came from the ranch. hardware, including hinges, nails, latches and and-irons, were handmade by ham-mer, anvil and forge — tools that were hauled to the ranch from old Town.

The main structure was clearly influenced by the manner of homes built in Ireland. This historic adobe home withstood the ravages of time and nature for 155, years until it was razed in 2015.

They also built a two-story adobe spring house over the spring, where they kept their milk, butter, fruit, vegetables

and meat. The food was kept in the cellar, and the men and ranch hands slept upstairs. all cooking was done outside, except for that done in the fireplace.

at the Santa Teresa ranch, William Warnock, with the help of native americans, cleared the land and began raising stock and farming, primarily growing wheat and barley, including general pro-duce. he also kept bees and operated a small dairy.

William and ellen Warnock began to raise a family. Their eight surviving children were William J., or “uncle Billy;” henry austin; Mary ann (Dye); Sarah (Graves); and rosa (Graves). according to the census, there was also an adopted son named antonio. The Warnocks planted a sycamore tree by the house each time a child was born.

It was here that Mary Warnock was raised and even-tually met and married John Sidney Dye, who freighted goods between San Diego and Julian over a route lead-ing near the Warnock ranch.

after their marriage, John and Mary Dye homesteaded 160 acres of land east of the original Warnock ranch near a place now called Dye canyon,

south of the settlement of Ballena and overlooking the cuyamaca Mountains to the east and Mount Gower to the west. The young pioneer couple built an adobe house, began a family, took up agri-culture, developed a spring and lived by pioneer ways and the resources of the land.

over the following years, 13 children were born, nine of whom lived to adulthood. Most of the children were born in the ranch house with-out the assistance of a doctor, as the nearest doctor was 60 miles away. only a neighbor woman, who traveled about 15 miles, came to assist.

Teen Action Council is Making a DifferenceBy Aitana Velazquez and Robyn Green

The Teen action council (Tac) is a teen program at the ramona Library. There are meetings

every month to catch up on what is happening and what will happen later on that month.

The council consists of students in middle school and high school who are looking for an opportunity to help others and get a feel of the work envi-ronment before they go into the real world. The library’s workplace rules also apply to volunteers, so they know what to expect later on.

Teens who join Tac and participate in activities sign up to volunteer when they are available. They do an assort-ment of tasks, such returning books to the shelves and pulling books off the shelves that are on hold.

The library offers crafts for children, and Tac teens help come up with ideas for the crafts.

Tac volunteers are available to assist any librarian who wants help. The library is filled with wonderful librarians who treat Tac volunteers like they are coworkers in a workplace.

Being in the Teen action council gives teens a look behind the scenes at what goes on in the library. The books don’t just end up back on the shelves by magic. The teens must learn the different sections they go in and how

to shelve them.Freshman raquel Green says,

“Shelving books is not as easy as you might think. Some books have special stickers on them, and that means something specific, like that it goes on a certain shelf.”

Tac members aren’t looked at as just teens. Plenty of library-goers ask the Tac teens for assistance, and they are able to help. They know the library well and are available to help anyone.

The teens also provide homework help Monday through Friday, from 4 to 6 p.m., in the Teen center, where elementary students and middle-schoolers can come and get assistance with their homework.

But Tac isn’t just about shelving books and crafts.

“The mission of the Teen action council is to have teens help better the community,” says Tac President annette Burns. “This includes them sacrificing their time for the benefit of others.”

These teens give up time that most kids their age use to hang out or watch TV. They squeeze in their volunteering time to improve their community, and that means a lot to them.

“our vision is to bridge the gap between teens and the community through our service,” annette says. “Tac hosts events like the

teen Action Council members volunteer at Ramona Library.PHOtOS COuRtESy OF RObyn gREEn

summer reading program and a christmas party every year. There was a cultural event called Food from around the World, where they had foods from different cultures and played many types of music to go along with it. Their biggest event of the year was Día De Los niños, where they have face painting and a clown that blows up balloons. They have great food and a lot of games for the kids to play. With events like this, the Tac teens set up the events, help them run smoothly, and when it’s all

done, they clean up.at their monthly meetings,

the officers go over an agenda. They announce any upcoming events and have sign-ups for those available to work. after that, they do a fun event like a craft or a game.

The group’s last meeting was annette’s final meeting as Tac president. They did an art project for the art competi-tion the library is hosting and had pizza.

The new president is Isabelle chavarin, who was the previous vice president.

She is a junior at ramona high School and is very excited to be the new president.

nikki Lucchese, who will now be the vice president, was previously in charge of outreach and kept the coun-cil up to date on important upcoming events, took part in officer discussions, helped with decisions and made sure the events were publicized with posters and flyers. Stassa cappos, who was the secre-tary, will take nikki’s place, and cameron Zamora will take Stassa’s place as secretary.

Isabelle is ready to carry out the group’s ideas as she steps into the position of president.

“I hope to accomplish our goal of having a seed exchange for the community at the ramona Library and to continue having the commu-nity as involved as possible,” she says. n

Decline in Enrollment Predicted for Ramona SchoolsBy Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

Student enrollment at ramona unified School District has consistently

decreased over the years. as-sistant Superintendent David ostermann predicts a decline of 92 students for the 2016-17 school year.

With that decline, ostermann said the total enrollment will be 5,494 students. The number of students enrolled determines how much money the district receives from the state for its average daily attendance (aDa).

“our enrollment continues to drop,” ostermann told the Board of Trustees at its Feb. 25 meeting. “This is the 14th consecutive year of decline.”

olive Peirce Middle School

will see the largest decline of 46 students. The high schools are predicted to have 26 fewer students, while the elemen-tary schools are at 20. Special needs classes stay the same, at 85 students.

“The decline is greater at secondary schools than elementary,” ostermann said, adding that Barnett and James Dukes elementary schools have the highest numbers at that level.

ostermann was assisted in making the enrollment projec-tions by principals from the local schools. The predicted figures help in determining how many teachers will be needed next year at each school, he said.

assistant Superintendent Theresa Grace gave a PowerPoint presentation on

the progress of the Local control accountability Plan (LcaP). community forums are being planned, and a sur-vey will be conducted with 100 students in kindergarten through 12th grades.

Pixie Sulser, teacher-on-assignment, presented an update of Preliminary Scholastic aptitude Test/national Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSaT/nMSQT) offered to students in eighth and 10th grades.

The students received their test scores along with recom-mendations for individual study plans. The SaT exams are given to high school sophomores and juniors.

among the 15 consent items presented to the board, approval was given for field trips for 40 students from the

navy Junior reserve officers’ Training corps, (nJroTc) along with instructors Bob richardson and Brad Davis, to attend a team-building event in oahu, hawaii, at the end of March.

approval was also given for two students and auto shop teacher robert Grace to participate in the auto Tech challenge in new York city, also at the end of March.

The girls varsity volleyball team and coaches connie halfaker and Kyle adelman will travel to Las Vegas in august to take part in a tournament there.

Trustees gave unanimous approval by issuing a proc-lamation that the month of March will be designated “arts education Month” for all schools in the district.

currently, there are a vari-ety of art electives offered to students, including instru-mental music, drama, dance, drawing, painting, sculpture, culinary arts, floral design, photography, art history, and art design and visual culture.

Superintendent robert Graeff, who is retiring at end of the school year, announced that 33 information packets have been requested by per-sons interested in filling his position. Trustees scheduled a special meeting for March 1 to go over the applications in closed session.

The next regularly sched-uled board meeting will begin at 7 p.m. on March 10 at the Wilson administration center, 720 ninth St. a closed session will meet an hour earlier. n

The Dye children included Mary alice; William Sidney Bruce; henry Stanford; Thomas carroll Dye Sr.; Sarah armand; James edgar; John Drew earl; rose ellen; herbert austin; Miriam Frances; arthur Merritt; armand Madison; and Stanley howard. Both James edgar and Sarah armand died during a diphtheria outbreak when they were children. henry Stanford died during the influenza outbreak of 1918, and armand Madison died in France while serving in the military during World War I.

In her later years, Mary recalled the big earthquake of 1865, that cracked the house but opened a spring nearby. She said that if the area had been more heavily populated at the time, the earthquake would have done much great-er damage. She remembered how the family survived the bitter cold of a snowstorm in 1881. When their axe was bur-ied in the drifts and they were unable to chop firewood, fam-ily members dug fence rails from the snow for fireplace fuel. Due to the severe cold, diphtheria broke out and the two children died. Mary used homemade throat remedies to save the others.

The nearest trading place was colton, many miles to the north. It took John several weeks driving a four-horse rig to make the trip for supplies.

The family kept chickens, hogs and cows. They put down their own meat, ren-dered lard, and made soap and candles. Mary was a good

hand in the fields, helping bring in the crops and pitch-ing hay right alongside the men. She remembered it as a time when black bears, lions and rattlesnakes were plenti-ful in the region, but that didn’t stop her from living happily there for 77 years.

Today, there is but a fading memory of the Dye family and that pioneer era. The old homestead site lies abandoned on a desolate hillside, located at a place known only to a few living souls. It is marked by a patch of green, indicat-ing the site of the spring, and there’s a large, dead sycamore that once shaded the house. The adobe has melted back into the earth, and roof tim-bers have been burned or hauled off by scavengers. only a few stressed mulberry trees, some rock parapets, pot-tery shards, purple glass and a faintly rutted trace remain to remind a curious passerby that this was once the busy home where a hardy pioneer family lived for seven decades.

The many descendants of John and Mary Dye are scat-tered far and wide. Many may be unaware of their forebears’ way of life on the frontier and whose presence there typified the self-reliant and adventurous spirit of the pioneers who led the way of the movement westward.

Because of their family significance to the settlement of the region, their name has been preserved in several places, such as Dye Mountain, Dye Valley and Dye road. n

Bob Verhoest Named RUSD Classified Employee of the Year

ramona unified School District Superintendent robert Graeff announced the selection of

Bob Verhoest as the district’s 2016 classified employee of the Year.

Verhoest is in his 20th year as a campus supervisor at the high school. The announcement was made March 3 in the ramona high School office.

“Bob is a tremendous asset to the entire campus,” said Graeff. “over the years, he has provided outstand-

ing supervision support during the student day, after school, evening activities, and sporting contests, and all-day Saturday events. at all times, he greets people with a friendly smile, a hearty handshake, and a sincere inter-est in helping students and staff to be successful. Bob is well known for his consistently positive attitude, his superb relationships with his school’s students, staff and parents, and his never-ending faith in the potential of

ramona high and its students. If there was ever a staff member who bled Bulldog Blue, ‘Bobby V.’ would be that person!”

Verhoest was nominated for the award by fellow rhS educators Mona Snodgrass, a social science teacher and aSB advisor, and Bob richardson, navy Junior reserve officers’ Training corps naval Science Instructor.

In her nomination letter, Snodgrass wrote, “Bob understands the role of an educational institution and the importance of relationships. he dedi-cates his time and effort into making every student and adult on this cam-pus feel connected.” She also said, “I

because long-term care costs can be catastrophic. In fact, the annual average cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $90,000, according to the 2015 cost of care Survey produced by Genworth, a financial services company. a financial profes-sional can help you find an appropriate way of paying for these types of costs.

• Your capacity to pro-tect your biggest assets — Your home is probably going to be the biggest asset you ever own, so you need to pro-tect it properly, with adequate homeowners insurance. It’s also important to have suffi-cient insurance for your other major assets, such as your car, boat and so on.

• Your exposure to prop-erty loss or liability — You may someday face costs associated with repairing or replacing your home, auto or boat, or even liability-related expenses. additional liability insurance — known as an “umbrella” policy — is designed to kick in when your standard coverage on other policies, such as home or auto, has been exhausted.

The sun may be shining in your life today, but it’s always wise to be prepared for the proverbial “rainy day.” So have your umbrellas ready. n

“Specializing in Quickbooks”

april showers may bring May flowers, but March is national umbrella Month.

While ranking high on the list of truly obscure celebrations, this “Month” can still teach us a few things — especially if we think about “umbrellas” that can help us protect our financial goals.

consider these key areas:

• Your vulnerability to emergencies — It’s a good idea to maintain an emer-gency fund containing three to six months’ worth of living expenses. Without such a fund, you may need to dip into your long-term investments to pay for unexpected, and unexpect-edly large, expenses such as a new furnace or a big bill from the doctor. You’ll want to keep your emergency fund in a liq-uid, low-risk account.

• Your family’s financial situation — If something happened to you, how would your loved ones be affected? Would your family be able to stay in your house? could your children eventually go to college? Would your surviving spouse have enough retire-ment income to maintain the lifestyle he or she has envi-sioned? having adequate life insurance in place can help ensure that all your hopes and plans don’t fall apart upon your passing. Different types of life insurance offer different features. For example, “term” insurance, as its name sug-gests, is designed to provide a death benefit for a certain number of years. on the other hand, “permanent” insurance, such as whole life or univer-sal life, can be kept in force

Is Your ‘Financial Umbrella’ in Place?

indefinitely. This type of cover-age may also offer a cash value component.

• Your current income — If an illness or injury keeps you out of work, even for a little while, the loss of income could disrupt your family’s ability to pay its bills, leading to potentially big problems down the road. Your employer may offer some type of disabil-ity insurance as an employee benefit, but the coverage may be insufficient. So you may want to consider purchasing an individual disability policy.

• Your ability to live independently — If you’re fortunate, you may never need to spend time in a nursing home or require any other type of long-term care. But no one can predict the future, and it pays to be prepared,

don’t believe that there is another person on this campus that the students trust more than Bob Verhoest. no matter what type of day they are having, students search him out to share their joy or frustrations, and Bob is right there to provide them celebration or support.”

Snodgrass said a number of students expressed their appre-ciation for Verhoest. She quoted one as saying, “he is the heart of this school.”

richardson also spoke highly of his co-worker in his nomi-nation letter. “he knows the pulse of the school,” he wrote. “he is the face of ramona high School. . . . There is no other individual more com-mitted to ensuring a positive image is portrayed at rhS.”

Verhoest is the first to arrive on campus in the morn-ing and is usually the last to leave, richardson added. “he

is the one person on campus that can be relied upon to solve problems well outside his scope of employment, from mentoring students to substituting for teachers. he never questions his tasking and completes it with the utmost respect.”

“I like to help people — kids and staff, both,” Verhoest said in a statement in advance

of being honored. “It seems that my being there makes a difference. When I go into town, my wife will ask me how long I’ll be because she knows I’ll run into stu-dents I’ve known from campus. and she’s right. I’ve had students from 10 years ago stop me and thank me, tell-ing me I made a difference in their life. That’s what’s so great about living in a small town like ramona — you can see the kids grow

up and find out that you did make a difference in some way.

“I’ve learned a lot and keep learning more,” he said. “So every day is new and better than the one before. To this day, I can still say that I love rhS very much. I hope I never have to ‘graduate’ from this school.” n

The Lord’s Prayer, Part II

This is the second installment of a series on The Lord’s Prayer. If

you are not familiar with the prayer, it can be found in Matt. 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4.

Before I get ahead of myself in discussing the various requests found in the prayer, it is vitally important that we rightly understand

what is sometimes referred to as the “address” of the prayer, that is, to whom the prayer is addressed. In Matt. 9:9, the Lord Jesus instructs his people to address their prayers to, “our Father in heaven.”

For God to be “our Father,” we must belong to him. The Bible says that to all who

By Rev. Andy Schreiber

Pastor’s Cornerreceive the Lord Jesus christ, who believe in his name, “he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12, eSV). So no one is inherently a child of God all on their own; no one is a child of God simply by virtue of being cre-ated by God; and no one is a child of God on the basis of their own virtue or goodness, not even by being religious. But one becomes adopted as a child of God through faith in christ. he alone is the Son of God; sinners are forgiven and adopted as God’s children through faith in God’s Son!

The Fatherhood of God could be considered the central theme of the entire Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew chapters 5 to 7. If you read these three chapters, which are the context of The Lord’s Prayer, you will find the Lord Jesus referring to God as “Father” no fewer than 17 times. In his teaching specifi-cally on the subject of prayer in those chapters — which includes, but is not limited

to, The Lord’s Prayer — he speaks of God as “Father” at least seven times.

It sounds like a pattern!It is not too much to say

that the Fatherhood of God is in many ways the key to prayer. Believers in Jesus christ are not to pray like hypocrites, who pray in order to be noticed by others (Matt. 6:5-6). Instead, he says, “your Father who sees in secret will reward you” (v. 6).

Believers are also not to pray like pagans, who by the mindless repetition of empty phrases in their prayers treat God as if he were an idol to be manipulated, and treat prayer as if it were a mere mechanical process (Matt. 6:7-8). Why? Because, “Your Father knows what you need before you ask him” (v. 8).

Prayer is not for show. Prayer is not a way to manipu-late God. It is to be under-stood as taking your concerns to “our Father in heaven.” If you can pray to God as your Father in heaven, (Matt. 6:9),

that changes everything!“The heidelberg

catechism” of 1563, teaches that because God is almighty God, he is able to do all things for the salvation of his people, and that because he is a “faithful Father,” he desires to do so (Q. 26).

In other words, if God is your heavenly Father, you can be sure that he is both willing and able to answer your prayers. as God, he is most certainly able to answer prayer. as Father, he is indeed willing to answer prayer.

This truth is not only a comfort, it is an encourage-ment to talk to him in prayer! n

ramona Pop Warner announced that a new football division has been created to accommodate all participants, regardless of weight.

While age and weight limits remain for the lower divisions — Junior Mighty Mite through Junior Midget — a newly established unlimited Division only requires that partici-pants ages 11 to 14 years of age weigh a minimum of 105 pounds, with no maximum weight limit.

This represents a signifi-cant change from the age and weight structure that Pop Warner previously utilized, which caused players of larger stature to play in a division dominated by older, more mature players. Many were not able to participate on a team with players their own age until they reached high school.

Pop Warner has increased weight limits over the past few seasons in an effort to reduce the disparity between the participants’ age and weight across all divisions.

With the advent of the unlimited Division, the ramona Pop Warner Board of Directors says it is optimistic about the prospects of form-

ing a team for seventh- and eighth-grade boys of all sizes. The new division is expected to provide players a smoother transition to high school football.

coaches with the ramona high School Football Program said they welcome the change and view the new division as a significant step toward growing youth football in ramona.

“This has been a long time coming,” said rhS Varsity head coach and athletic director Damon Baldwin. “To tell big kids that they can’t do a sport is not something I support. This new rule conforms to what most of the country is doing in other youth organi-zations and helping bigger kids get healthier, play a team sport and be a part of some-thing special that they can remember all their lives. This also allows kids to transition to freshman cIF football so much easier. I am extremely excited for our youth here in ramona.”

Pop Warner registration is set for March 12, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the aqua Lane practice fields. Visit www.ramonapopwarner.com. n

Students Rally Against Drugged DrivingStudents who are part of the

Montecito Toros advocacy Group at Montecito high

School held a rally in front of the ramona Sheriff’s Substation last month to raise awareness about the public-safety risks associated with drugged driving.

The “not on our roads” outreach was offered in response to marijuana dis- pensaries that are opening in ramona.

Students became interested in the issue after participating in a recent community meet-ing where residents expressed concern that dispensary cus-tomers might endanger lives by drugged driving while high on marijuana.

news about a recent drugged driving crash that killed one young girl in Tier-

rasanta and injured another increased the ramona teens’ desire to raise awareness about the issue, stated andrea Moss, media specialist for the north Inland community Prevention Program, which provided assistance in organizing the rally.

She said the youth are asking community members not to drive under the influ-ence of alcohol, prescription medications, marijuana and/or other drugs; to make sure family members and friends know the dangers of sub-stance-impaired driving; and to call 911 to report drivers who may be under the influence.

Drugged driving is a huge threat to residents. Moss reported that one in six night-time drivers tested positive for drugs. Deaths from drugged

driving have nearly doubled since 1999, accounting for nearly one-third of traffic deaths in 2010. Marijuana was the primary drug involved in

the increase, according to the national Institute on Drug abuse.

By holding the grassroots rally, the students are joining a

“Put Drugged Driving on Your radar” campaign that is gain-ing momentum throughout San Diego county. n

a dilemma faces a barbershop quartet when its tenor falls over dead

as the men are competing in regional finals. The good news here is that the quartet wins the competition.

What to do next is the concept for the comedy, “The Fabulous Lipitones,” playing through March 13 at Patio

Playhouse in escondido.Director Grant Gelvin

found four exceptional actors to portray the quartet. each character has his own prob-lems but the men must come together to find — and accept — a replacement and go on to the final step in the competition.

The story, written by John Markus and Mark St. Germain, is set in present time in the

rehearsal basement of howard Dunphy’s house in London, ohio. Scott Kolod plays howard, Jordon Marlbrough is Phil the fitness expert, and andrew Softley is Wally the pharmacist. The newcomer to the quartet is Bob, played by Bob Gordon.

half of the players are new to the boards, while the other two bring along impressive backgrounds. They blend

well together.The fellows heard Bob

singing at an auto repair shop. When he turns up to audition for the quartet’s tenor spot, the men are surprised to dis-cover Bob is wearing a turban and not exactly “one of us.”

all in all, everything works out for the best, and the quar-tet goes on to reno, nev., to the final competition.

Gelvin stretches his directo-

rial duties to design the set as well as the lighting, along with Matthew Fitzgerald. David Farlow designed the sound. Musical director is allan Webb.

Performances are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. The theater is located at 115 S. Kalmia St. in downtown escondido. call 760-746-6669 visit www.patioplayhouse.com. n
