State Assemblyman Brian Jones told Ramona Rotarians that, since the legislative session ended on Sept. 9, he has been in Ramona about once a week speaking “because I just love being up here.”
Jones, who represents the 77th district was the featured speaker at a recent Ramona Rotary Club meeting, held in Sizzler.
Holding up a white flag with a big red star, Jones asked Rotarians if they knew what the flag represents. Some guessed it was from Texas, the lone star state. Jones said the flag design is one that flew in California in 1836 when a group of

Rancho Bernardo High School’s girls cross country team executed a perfect 15-50 sweep against Ramona during the two teams’ Palomar League dual meet on the Black Mountain course on Friday.
The Broncos took the top seven positions against the Bulldogs, who had only six runners complete the varsity race. Team scores in a cross country race are obtained by adding the positions of a team’s top five runners. A team’s sixth and seventh runners are not scored but can add positions to opposing runners. A school can enter more than seven runners during a dual meet, and seniors must compete in the varsity race.

Ramona High School girls volleyball coach Connie Halfaker knew that the Bulldogs weren’t playing as a team at Rancho Bernardo on Oct. 25 — and so did her players. Because that was a matter of not connecting rather than of individuals being selfish instead of team players, it was correctable by the Bulldogs’ Senior Night home game Oct. 27 against Torrey Pines.
“They still love playing with each other, eager to work hard,” said Coach Connie Halfaker. “That just speaks to the character of them as young women.”
Both losses were in three games and gave the Bulldogs a Palomar League record of 0-8 along with an overall season figure of 10-16. The loss at Rancho Bernardo involved 25-16, 25-20, and 29-27 games.
