County Supervisor Dianne Jacob talks with residents attending her Coffee with Constituents in Ramona Town Hall on Feb. 24.
850 Main Street, Suite 106 Ramona, CA 92065
BY NEAL PUTNAM After three hours of deliberations, a federal jury last Thursday convicted Ramona resident Timothy Edward Graham, 65, of twice robbing the Bank of America branch at 1407 Main St. The eight-woman, four-man jury found that Graham robbed the bank on Feb. 11, 2015, of $3,104 and held the bank up again on Nov. 19, 2015, when $3,040 was taken. U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Anthony Battaglia set sentencing for May 13. Graham remains in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jarad Hodes said Feb. 25 he was not yet sure what sentence he would be seeking. The maximum sentence is 20 years per robbery, but Hodes said a sentence in that range is unlikely. A key witness was Graham’s ex-wife, Lynda Sparks, who identified Graham from bank photos as the robber, including one that showed him wearing a medical mask around his nose and mouth. Pointing to a gray striped shirt the robber wore, Sparks said, “He’s had it SEE HEISTS, A18
BY KAREN BRAINARD Medical marijuana dominated much of the discussion at county Supervisor Dianne Jacob's Coffee with Constituents last Wednesday, especially with the news that the first of several proposed dispensaries in Ramona had received its operating certificate. ShowGrow at 736 Montecito Way opened Feb. 25. Two other medical marijuana dispensary locations, 618 Pine St. and 1210 Olive St., are pending operating certificates. A building permit has been submitted to the county for a collective at 2471 Montecito Road, but because the property line is less than 1,000 feet from the Montecito Way dispensary, which is not allowed per county ordinance, the applicant is trying to process a boundary adjustment, said Darren Gretler, assistant director of the county’s Planning and Development Services.

Design review OKs plan for townhomes
Thursday, March 3 Ramona Community Planning Group, 7 p.m., Ramona Library Community Room, 1275 Main St. Among agenda topics: Possible changes to Park Land Dedication Ordinance; medical marijuana regulations; phasing changes for Mountain View Community Church expansion; 41-unit subdivision at Robertson and Pala streets; oversized barn at 1785 Rancho Villa Road and Washington Street; consider moving paving of Creelman Lane higher up on CIP list. Tuesday, March 8 Ramona Municipal Water District Board, 2 p.m., Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. rmwd.org. Thursday, March 10 Ramona Unified School District Board, 7 p.m., Wilson Administrative Center, 720 Ninth St.
Board asks for more on lighting, signage and fencing BY KAREN BRAINARD To preface his presentation to the Ramona Design Review Board Feb. 25, developer Steve Powell noted he has three different zoning classifications for his 5.5-acre parcel on Robertson Street where he plans to build a 41-unit townhome subdivision. That became very complicated, he said, as the area zoned agricultural-70 only allows one unit per acre, the area within the Ramona Village Center Form-Based Code allows 15 units per acre, and the area that falls within the Ramona Community Plan, which trumps the county's General Plan, restricts housing to 7.3 units per acre. As a market rate housing project, Powell, president of Woodcrest Homes and a Ramona resident, said he could build 55 units but wants the townhomes to be detached, so he is going with 41 units. Powell’s site plan for Creekside at Village Walk, with arts and crafts style architecture, was unanimously approved by the design review board with three caveats: more specifications on lighting, signage

The lot, behind Kmart and bordered by Pala and La Brea streets, is triangular and two years ago was proposed by AMCAL for a 60-unit affordable housing complex. With a California farmhouse design, the complex received endorsement by the design review board and the Ramona Community Planning Group, but AMCAL pulled out of the project. Powell said he decided to build a

townhome complex that would mirror his Paseo Village townhomes proposed for Day Street. After 10 years, Powell said he finally received a grading permit for that project. The 31-unit Craftsman townhome project was proposed in 2006, approved by the county Planning Commission in 2009, and Powell said he is still probably several months out from grading as he has to get his final map approved by the county Board of Supervisors. The townhome projects fall within the county's housing element and
offer options for first-time homebuyers, he said. For Creekside at Village Walk, the lots will be 30 feet wide with 21-foot-wide units, he said. Powell said he plans on eight floor plans and up to 14 elevations with different architectural elements. He also plans to stagger some of the units. "The elevations themselves give a lot of personality," he said. Garages will be in the rear, and backyards will have enough room for a picnic table, barbecue and outdoor spa, he said. Other than enclosed back and side yards, everything in the complex will be the responsibility of the homeowners association, he said. A park area will have artificial turf, a beach sand volleyball court and picnic tables, and the complex will have lots of xeriscape, he said. Design review member Scotty Ensign, a professional landscaper, gave his approval of the conceptual landscaping plans. "They've really done a lot with specimens so it's going to be quite gorgeous," he said. Powell said he will present his townhome project to the Ramona Community Planning Group at its March 3 meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Library Community Room.

Montecito High School students join mental health officials in a rally against drugged driving.
Montecito High students rally against drugged driving BY JESSICA KING Their group is small but their message is a big one. Now that Ramona is poised to potentially house several medical marijuana dispensaries, students at Montecito High School want future customers to think before they drive. A handful of students enrolled in Montecito’s leadership class held a rally on the corner of Main Street and Montecito Road Saturday to remind drivers not to operate their vehicles under the influence of any substance, including marijuana. Students also held signs that urged citizens to call 911 if they see someone under the influence about to or already driving in town. “I think there’s a concern because Ramona is going to get what, four or five dispensaries,” said Joe Eberstein, program manager of the Marijuana Prevention Initiative, adding there are too many unanswered questions about what the businesses may end up selling and what else is in their marijuana-laced products. “There’s just a lot that we don’t know, especially when it comes to the edible stuff,” he said. Montecito senior Yuniz Galicia, the school’s representative on the Ramona Unified School District Board of Trustees, participated in Saturday’s rally because she’s afraid people will pose a danger to her friends and family, and everyone else in Ramona. “It may be good for their health but when they’re doing it and then driving, that’s not a
POLL OF THE WEEK
good idea,” said Galicia, referring to medical marijuana users. Galicia’s classmate, senior Dale Thompson, said he is particularly worried about youths and young adults who are already more prone to accidents because of their lack of years behind the wheel. “We’re here to raise awareness that driving under the influence of any substance is selfish and dangerous,” said Thompson. “It’s so easy to kill someone when you’re sober just by accident, why make it worse by using?” “Hopefully, kids like us, by seeing this, they’ll think about it,” he added. Jessica Lewis, who teaches the leadership class at Montecito, said Saturday’s rally was a byproduct of holding what the continuation school called, “Reality Week,” in January. For five consecutive school days, students participated in drug awareness events, including hearing from the mother of a young woman killed in a DUI crash and from mental health professionals like Eberstein. “That week really affected the kids, a lot of them, you could tell, were really hit hard by the Mothers Against Drunk Driving speaker,” said Lewis. Lewis teaches 16 students in her leadership class, which is also known as the Montecito Toros Advocacy Group. “It’s funny because I don’t feel like I did that much,” said Lewis. “I’m just letting them roll with what they’re doing … so it’s nice to see this is what they came up with.”

WINDING DOWN
Saving on life’s second dietary staple BY DAVE PATTERSON s I found out, beer is the second of two main dietary staples: bread and beer. To meet that requirement my wife and I have been making beer and saving money at the same time. Before I start, however, I wanted David our readers to get a feel for what I Patterson call homestead hobbies and what wonderful things can happen as a result. Last week we enjoyed an incredible dinner made up of steamed home-grown cauliflower and broccoli with garlic butter — accompanied by homemade bread and a large frothy beer. The meal released such wonderful aromas and flavors that it may have been the best I have ever had, and the cost, believe it or not, was less than $2 per person. All this from such a small investment of care and time. I’ll write more on the gardening ideas later, but wanted to note that contemporary anthropologists are beginning to think that modern man adopted agrarian living from hunter-gatherer so they could have ready access to beer. A noble choice for a lifestyle change I’ll say! Now onto the brew. We began home brewing about two years ago, starting with a basic kit for a typical ale. At first this process was mysterious, but now through practice we have found that we can produce a relatively good product at a cost of slightly more than $1 per pint. This is a pretty good savings because an OK craft beer can cost $5 per pint at a brewery or $3 per pint from a bottle and sometimes more. I like a good beer and had begun to wonder if I would be able to afford it when in retirement, so we sought to find out through practice. An added benefit was that my wife was also interested, having a passion for fermentation of all sorts including breads and yogurts. Now with beer making we have another hobby we can share, and how wonderful is that? First we needed a pot and gas burner, and Walmart had a nice seven-quart setup on sale for only $23, advertised as a deep fat turkey fryer. The basic method of beer making is relatively easy, but the variables as difficult and complex as you want them to be. Our goal is only to make a good brew that we like, that is repeatable, inexpensive and not difficult. I like a bitter and hoppy amber ale, and my wife likes a dark stout, so now we are taking turns “playing” with the basic recipes to see if we can find something for each of us that will complement our meals. Not far away — in Mira Mesa and Escondido — are craft brew stores that have all the stuff you need to make beer and they are very helpful. I do recommend that the novice purchase beer making kits at first, to get a feel for the methodology and ingredients. After that the sky is the limit, fun and pennywise as well. Next time: Gardening for limited space farmers, useful to condo and apartment dwellers also. So all of us can have wonderful garden fresh food. Send your suggestions or questions to dpatterson998@yahoo.com. David Patterson is a Ramona resident.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support your library Congratulations to our Ramona Library and staff for its fifth year. To think it all started in 1894 in the Town Hall; then moved north, next to Kirk’s Bicycle Shop; again moved to county offices on Montecito, using sea trains for storage. Wow! What a trip. In 2011, our beautiful new library was dedicated. This was a wonderful tribute to those who had worked so hard in bringing this marvelous building to Ramona. In order to keep up the library events — children’s, teens and adult programs — the library needs your support. It is a community commitment and it is accomplished with your membership and donations. March is Support the Library Month. Every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., a table with “Friends of the Library” volunteers will be at the entrance inside the library, to renew or sign up new members. Please stop by. We’d love to see you at the library. Karyn Smith Friends of Ramona Library
Hunter’s endorsement shows poor judgment I recognize that the Sentinel is a very local publication and is typically (and thankfully) not involved with national politics, but when our local representatives involve themselves in those politics in our name this seems a good venue to air views on their position. I am specifically referring to Representative Duncan Hunter. He has, in our names, endorsed the candidacy of Donald Trump for president. I recognize the visceral appeal of Donald Trump. His support is primarily born from a deep dissatisfaction with Washington politics. Unfortunately, he is also dangerously unqualified in terms of temperament and experience to be the leader of the free world. Firing someone on a reality TV show does not qualify him to be in charge of nuclear launch codes. Whether you agree with my assessment of Mr. Trump or not is not the issue here, though. The issue is the presumption shown by Rep. Hunter in endorsing him. I believe that this shows very poor judgment on his part.
I have written to him about this, and I am sure that I will get a polite form letter back in reply. What I did not get was due consideration ahead of time of how I might feel about what he is doing as my representative in Congress. I would recommend that anyone else who also disagrees with what he is doing should at a minimum also contact him at hunter.house.gov/contact-me/email-me and let him know. If you get as little satisfaction as I have, I would recommend expressing that in the next election. Larry Mittag Ramona
Rule of law is foundation of a republic There is every indication that the Democratic Party is nearing extinction and the proof of that is made clear when the Democratic Party is supporting a corporatist and a war hawk instead of a Democrat. The truth is America has only one party and that is the Corporatist Party, thanks to those billions from global corporations. I wonder how many Americans realize they haven't had a republic since those five supremes stopped that vote count in Florida, have allowed unlimited money in America's elections and when our legal systems refused to prosecute the worst criminals in U.S. history: the war criminals, the human rights abusers, the banksters and investment swindlers. The rule of law is the foundation of a republic and America is no longer ruled by laws. Connie Frankowiak Julian

Ashley McDonald crowned 2016 Ramona Rodeo Queen BY KAREN BRAINARD shley McDonald, a 23-year-old from Santee, was crowned 2016 Ramona Rodeo Queen Saturday at the Ramona Outdoor Community Center where cowboy/cowgirl hats and boots were aplenty. Capturing rodeo queen first runner-up was Sydney Murdock, 20, of Ramona. Both were awarded by outgoing Ramona Rodeo Queen Brittney Phillips, who gave a heartwarming farewell speech about her amazing two years, 2014 and 2015, representing her hometown of Ramona and promoting the sport of rodeo. Also competing for the Ramona Rodeo Queen title were Sarah Andrews, 20, of Ramona, and Cheyenne Gonzalez, 18, of Wildomar. In addition to the queen title, McDonald garnered awards for photogenic, written test, speech, appearance and personality. Murdock received the people’s choice and the horsemanship awards. Most improved and congeniality went to Andrews. The four contestants started the day at 8:30 a.m. at the rodeo grounds with the horsemanship contest. After that they took a written test, voted for who would receive the congeniality award, and then participated in interviews. They were also given their speech topic that morning: “Selling Ramona Rodeo.” Phillips explained to the crowd Saturday night that in the past each girl had to deliver a prepared speech at the pageant, but this year they changed it to an

impromptu speech to be more in line with the California and America rodeo queen contests. “Speaking impromptu is really in essence our job,” Phillips said, adding that it is a skill that is good for the girls to master. The girls’ speeches, she said, had to be 45 seconds and basically an infommercial for Ramona Rodeo. Each contestant also had to answer several impromptu questions about rodeo or themselves on stage. Serving as judges were Ashley Murphy, 2003 Ramona Rodeo Queen and 2005 Poway Rodeo Queen; Sean Maginnis, a horseman, rodeo competitor and cowboy; and Janet Mendez, who has been involved in rodeo committees and pageants in Ramona and nearby communities. McDonald, who has completed her general education at Grossmont College and is taking classes towards her business administrative degree, says she loves rodeo and has been involved by running sponsor flags and volunteering at rodeos throughout the county. She and her quarter horse, Bentley, have been training hard at barrel racing. Ramona Rodeo performances will be held on Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, beginning at 8 p.m., and on Sunday, May 22, starting at 4 p.m. The Main Street Rodeo Parade will be Saturday, May 21, at 10 a.m. For more information about the rodeo, see www.Ramona Rodeo.com.

Palomar’s downtown Escondido ER to close BY PAUL SISSON SPECIAL TO RAMONA SENTINEL
Palomar Health plans to shutter its standby emergency department in downtown Escondido on March 14. Affiliated urgent-care centers in the area will stay open later to help take up the slack, the medical system’s officials said. These actions have been eyed since June, when Palomar announced that it would close its downtown hospital, formerly called Palomar Medical Center, because running it costs about $20 million per year and the services there are offered by sister hospitals in Poway and west Escondido. Dr. Jamie Rivas, Palomar’s director of emergency services, noted that ambulances and medical helicopters in the area have been delivering most patients to the Palomar Medical Center on Citracado Parkway in Escondido since it opened in 2012. Only less serious cases are sent to the downtown standby emergency department, which handles 75 to 90 cases per day compared with 240 to 280 at the
newer hospital, Rivas said. He added that just 1 percent of cases seen in the downtown emergency department result in hospital admission, compared with about 30 percent at the newer hospital. To prepare for the upcoming changes, Palomar is working with local health groups such as Graybill Medical, Neighborhood Healthcare, Escondido Family Medicine, Borrego Health and its own Expresscare clinics to extend operations into the evening hours starting in March. The additional hours at each location will depend on the demand for services, said Frank Beirne, Palomar’s executive vice president of operations. Last June, Palomar told the public that it intended to move all existing departments out of the downtown hospital before the end of 2015. Departments such as labor and delivery, inpatient rehabilitation and behavioral health remain at the downtown site, and Palomar has provided no new timeline for relocation. Beirne said delays in necessary permits and approvals from state-level regulatory agencies have contributed to the hold-ups.
Hill, Binkley recognized at Salute to the Champions BY JOE NAIMAN Former Ramona High School athletes Kailey Hill and Garrett Binkley were recognized at the Salute to the Champions banquet for their Star of the Month achievements during 2015. The San Diego Hall of Champions has an annual Salute to the Champions banquet that honors the previous year's professional, amateur and high school stars of the month. Hill was one of seven April 2015 Amateur Star of the Month recipients. Binkley was one of six athletes to be honored as an Amateur Star of the Month in July 2015. Hill, who graduated from Ramona High School in 2014, plays softball
for the University of San Diego. In April during her 2015 freshman year, her 17 hits in 35 at-bats gave her a .486 batting average for the month. Three of those hits were home runs, and her 12 home runs for the season set a USD single-season record. Hill drove in 17 runs during the month and had 31 bases. On April 20, she was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Week, and her play throughout the season earned her WCC Freshman of the Year honors. Binkley's Ramona High School athletic career included participation on the Bulldogs' football team prior to his 2015 graduation. Binkley caught five passes for 80 yards during the July
2015 Alex Spanos All-Star Classic senior all-star game. He spent the 2015 football season on the San Diego State University scout team, which emulates the formations and strategies of upcoming opponents during practice against the first-string players. A selection committee at the Hall of Champions studies statistics and achievements. In addition to collecting statistics, Hall of Champions staff members speak with coaches, and athletic directors in the case of high school athletes, for recommendations. The awards committee reviews the lists of recommendations to select the stars of the month.

Air ambulance crew visits with students
BY KAREN BRAINARD Excitement reigned in the air as students from three schools waited for the arrival of a helicopter. Shading their eyes from the bright sun, they followed the circling air ambulance and got caught by surprise at the wind blasts it created as it gently set down before them in the school softball field. Laughing and brushing off the swirled-up dust, they waited for their teachers' go-ahead to meet the crew of the REACH Air Medical Services helicopter.
The career exploration event featured a Ramona resident: pilot Scott Kerchner, whose wife, Leighanne Kerchner, is a college career counselor at Montecito High School. Scott Kerchner told students that the flight from their base at Viejas Casino in Alpine took just seven minutes. That's the beauty of the air ambulance, he said. "We fly about 140 mph through the air...and we don't need roads," he said. They also don't have to worry about traffic, he noted, and the helicopter cost $5 million. Students lined up for the chance to climb

REACH paramedic Ryan Morgan holds Logan Mcnay's lunchbox and helps the kindergartner out of the helicopter. The air ambulance crew paid a visit to Ramona Elementary School on Friday, which was also the school's pajama day. Kerchner retired from the Marine Corps after 26 years, from 1998 to 2008, and served tours in Iraq, southeast Asia and other overseas locations. He also piloted off Navy ships. After retiring Kerchner said he started to miss flying. "I wanted something that was rewarding," he said. He has found that through his work with REACH. Kerchner and the other crew members also said they enjoy visiting schools and meeting with students.

into the copter, assisted by flight nurse Brooke Raster, and out the other side where paramedic Ryan Morgan helped them jump down. Kindergartner Logan Mcnay said the experience was "cool." Matthew Miller, another REACH pilot, engaged the students, taking such questions as: where do they sleep, where is their office, and do they see snow in the mountains. Scott Kerchner is marking his third anniversary with REACH, which is headquartered in Santa Rosa and provides critical care air and group transport services to communities throughout California, as well as several other western states. REACH has two bases in San Diego County: in Oceanside and at Viejas. Kerchner said REACH was invited by the Viejas Indian tribe as many backcountry communities felt underserved. When dispatch receives an emergency call, it will decide which emergency responder is closest to the scene, explained Kerchner. "We always do what's right for the patient," said Kerchner. Getting a trauma patient medical aid within that first hour is crucial, he said. Often he and his crew are called to accidents along Interstate 8 or backcountry roads where it can be tricky to land a helicopter, but the company, he said, has an outstanding record. Flight crews specialize in the transport of critically ill and/or injured pediatric patients, according to REACH. Both Kerchner and Miller flew in the United States military.

A WAY TO SAY THANK YOU
Vehicles were lining up to buy gas at Country Wine & Spirits at 14th and Main streets when Ramona’s Business of the Year dropped its gasoline price to $1.899 a gallon in mid-February. "It’s a thank you to the community for their support and making us Business of the Year," said Steve Hermiz, general manager of the three Country Wine & Spirit stores in town. "They are our family." For awhile, the business was breaking even at that sales price, but as the cost of gas started to rise, it was losing 3 to 5 cents a gallon, Hermiz said last Thursday. He was not sure how long they’d be able to keep gas prices low. Starting Friday, Country Wine & Spirits was charging $1.999 per gallon for cash customers and $2.099 for those using a credit card.
Jones introduces home brew bill State Assemblyman Brian Jones (R-Santee) has introduced legislation to allow home brew clubs to sample and share home brew beer within a licensed alcohol establishment. AB 2172 would permit the consumption and removal of home brewed beer in connection with a club meeting and would require tables used for the meeting to be designated by the establishment. Clubs would require authorization from the licensee to bring in and consume home brewed beer. “The craft beer industry isn’t just growing through the opening and expansion of breweries,” said Jones. “Our region has also seen
Assemblyman Brian Jones strong growth in home brew hobbyists and clubs. This legislation is consistent with other efforts to create greater flexibility in the law to help this burgeoning industry grow. As a former home
brewer and current craft beer enthusiast, I am excited about what this legislation can accomplish.” “Club meetings are such an important part of our hobby,” said Karsten Leone, president of the California Homebrewers Association. “Being able to meet at licensed establishments not only gives home brew clubs new meeting options, it also provides a significant financial benefit to licensed establishments as home brewers are some of the biggest supporters of craft beer.” Ramona is among communities Jones represents in the 77th Assembly District.
Girls lose first-round water polo playoff game BY JOE NAIMAN The 2015-16 girls water polo season ended for Ramona with a first-round loss in the Division I playoffs to Patrick Henry. The Patriots advanced to the quarterfinal with a 6-1 victory at Ramona's expense. The Feb. 17 game was played at the Rancho Bernardo High School pool. "That was a rough game for us," said coach Donnie Williams. "We just couldn't put good shots into the net." Patrick Henry scored the only goal of the first period. "The second quarter is the one that really did us in," Williams said. Although sophomore Madi Schwegler scored what would be Ramona's only goal of the game, the halftime score was 4-1. The Patriots added a goal in each of the final two periods.
"We were not getting good close-range shots," Williams said. The game closed out the high school water polo careers of Ramona seniors Kallan Campa, Carney Flinn and Ashley Kurtz. The playoff loss gave Ramona a final record of 14-14, including a 4-1 mark in Valley League games which was worth second place in the final league standings. "I'm proud of the girls this year," Williams said. "I think they did a really good job." Williams noted that his younger team was at an experience disadvantage. "We knew we had a tough road going ahead this year," he said. "Sometimes it's about developing and even as a coach you understand that growing a team sometimes grows you. I'm looking forward to what they can bring together next year."

Bulldogs make boys basketball semifinals
DOUG SOOLEY
Blake Seits is the top scorer with 31 points in Ramona’s 81-47 playoff win over Oceanside at home Saturday.
BY JOE NAIMAN As top seed in the Division III CIF boys basketball playoffs, Ramona High received home games throughout the semifinals. This issue of the Sentinel went to press before the March 1 semifinal between Bonita Vista and Ramona. If the Bulldogs prevailed, they will play Friday afternoon at the University of San Diego's Jenny Craig Pavilion against the other team that reached the championship level. "These boys are hungry. They want more," said coach Zack Cole. A win at Valley Center on Feb. 12 clinched the Valley League championship for Ramona, so the Bulldogs' final two regular-season games focused more on preparation for the playoffs than the score. Ramona's first contest after clinching the league title was a Feb. 17 home game against Fallbrook. The Ramona varsity roster had 13 players, and they all scored against Fallbrook. Ramona's leading scorer was Austin Pierce, who provided 11 points. Starters Calvin Harris, Blake Seits and Logan Knudson scored 8 points apiece.
Ramona held a 42-19 halftime lead. The Warriors narrowed that gap during the final two quarters, but the end buzzer sounded with Ramona on the preferred end of the 63-50 score. "At this point of the season it's not about X's and O's and it's not about your condition," Cole said. "It's more mental focus than anything and staying healthy." A Feb. 19 home 69-64 loss to Orange Glen snapped the Bulldogs' 15-game winning streak and deprived Ramona of a perfect league record, although Cole does not regret limiting his starters' playing time to ensure their freshness for the post-season. "That's kind of our job as coaches, to look out for the big picture," Cole said. Last year the Patriots won the Valley League championship. "They expect championships over there," Cole said. "We like playing teams like that." Ramona held a lead with two minutes remaining, but Orange Glen star Mike Diaz grabbed a pair of offensive rebounds off missed free throws.
The game was also Ramona’s Senior Night, which recognized five playing seniors along with team manager Sean Stemm, who was unable to play due to a concussion suffered during Ramona's football season. "The gym was packed," Cole said. The loss, which was the Bulldogs' first since a 56-66 defeat against Santa Fe Christian in a Dec. 23 Grossmont Tournament game, gave Ramona a final regular-season record of 23-5 including a 9-1 Valley League mark. The performance earned the Bulldogs the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. "It was actually a goal of ours since the beginning of the season," Cole said of the top seed. Ken Scheib was Ramona's coach in 2006, when the Bulldogs last won a playoff game. This season’s Bulldogs broke that 10-year drought against the school for which Scheib played. Crawford traveled to Ramona for the first-round playoff game Feb. 24, and the Bulldogs defeated the Colts for the second time this season. The game was tied at 28-28 when SEE HOOPS, A14

O BERKLEY, WHERE HART THOU? Saturday Apr. 9 8:00pm
BY JOE NAIMAN The wrestling season of Ramona High School sophomore Jeff Ramsthaler has been extended until at least Friday, when the CIF state meet in Bakersfield starts. Ramsthaler qualified for the state meet by placing third in the 108-pound division at the CIF San Diego Section's all-division masters tournament Feb. 26 and 27 at Christian High School. "He's ready to go. He's wrestling tough right now," said coach Matt Holt. Nine Ramona wrestlers competed in the masters tournament. Six of them won at least three matches. "We were doing very well," Holt said. Ramsthaler, who lost the Division III championship match to Joey Meier of Brawley High School, defeated Meier in the masters tournament by medical default rather than on the mat, but the other five Ramona wrestlers who won matches all defeated an opponent who had previously triumphed over their Bulldog counterpart. "I was extremely happy with that," Holt said. "Our guys are improving more than other teams are improving." Ramsthaler won five matches, losing only a 2-0 decision in the semifinal. "The kid got a takedown on him early and Jeff was unable to score the rest of the match," Holt said. The 108-pound division was one of two weight classes where the San Diego
Section was allowed four wrestlers for the state meet rather than three, so Meier chose to default in the third-place match rather than aggravate his injury. Although Holt was happy with the performance of his wrestlers at the tournament, he disagreed with a stalling penalty called on Nathan Kiddoo in the 115-pound consolation quarterfinals. Kiddoo was leading the match by 1 point before the 1-point penalty, and a subsequent escape point led to a 1-point decision loss for Kiddoo. Kiddoo won four of his six matches, as did Cisco Carter in the 197-pound class. Carter lost by 8 points in his consolation quarterfinal. Jordan Castro also won four of his six matches. In the 122-pound consolation finals, he was pinned in the third round but had been ahead on points before his loss by fall. Jacob Rodriguez won three of his five 134-pound matches. Brandon Setterberg was victorious in three of his five matches in the 154-pound class. The three Ramona wrestlers who competed at the masters tournament but lost both of their matches in the double-elimination meet were Kevin Gonzales in the 128-pound bracket, Aaron Johnson in the 140-pound division, and Jackson Montgomery in the 184-pound class.

Ramona High School varsity girls basketball players Leah Green and Hannah Farhat are starters on the team, not bench players as may have been suggested in the article titled “Girls capture basketball league
title” in last week’s Sentinel. As Ramona High seniors, they were among other senior players honored during Senior Night ceremonies before the team’s Feb. 19 game.
FROM HOOPS, A12
Pirates had faced each other twice before the post-season competition. The Jan. 22 home game ended as a 75-49 Bulldogs triumph. Ramona's 90-71 win Feb. 10 at Oceanside matched the Bulldogs' top point total for the season. Cole identified two areas of focus for his players on Saturday. The first quarter ended with Ramona holding a 31-5 lead. "They executed absolutely amazingly on defense. They were awesome," said Cole. A 19-12 Oceanside advantage in the second period created a 43-24 halftime score. Ramona's third-quarter domination created a 65-37 lead, and the final score was 81-47. "It might have been the best defensive game of the season for us," Cole said. The roster was expanded to 14 Ramona players for the post-season, and 10 scored against Oceanside. Seits was the team leader with 31 points. "Blake was locking down his shots," Cole said. Cobian added 18 points, and Greg Knight contributed 8 points. "Because our defense was so good, our offense was very good," Cole said. "It all feeds off of each other."
the halftime buzzer sounded. "They came out and they played really hard. They played super confident with nothing to lose," Cole said of the Colts, who had the 16th seed. "I think they hit their first five or six shots." A 22-7 scoring advantage in the third period gave Ramona a 50-35 lead. "It's been our quarter all year," Cole said. Cole noted that the coaches' halftime objective is to refocus the players and to re-emphasize the keys to the game. "Our boys are really good about responding," he said. "They're really focused. It's fun to coach them." Each team scored 20 points in the fourth quarter. "They're a very aggressive group," Cole said of the Colts. The final score of 70-55 was closer than the 77-48 score in a non-league game at Crawford on Jan. 15. Marco Cobian scored 28 points in the playoff game. Seits added 17 points. Ramona's Feb. 27 quarterfinal was also against a team the Bulldogs had previously played, and since Oceanside is in the Valley League, the Bulldogs and

Ramona Pop Warner introduces Unlimited Division No weight limit in new division BY JOHN PECORARO Ramona Pop Warner is preparing for another exciting season of youth football and cheer in Ramona. This year, for the first time in program history, the association has created a new football division to accommodate all participants regardless of weight. While age and weight limits remain for the lower divisions (Jr. Mighty Mite through Jr .Midget), the newly established Unlimited Division only requires that participants ages 11 to 14 years of age weigh a minimum of 105 pounds — for this division, there is no maximum weight limit. This represents a significant change from the previous age and weight matrix that was utilized to place participants – in many cases, kids of larger stature either had to play in a division dominated by older, more mature players or forego playing organized tackle football. For those bigger kids that Pop Warner could not accommodate, many would have to wait until high school before they could participate on a team comprised of players of like age. Ramona Pop Warner views the change as one that is very positive for the organization as well as the community. In addition to replacing the Midget Division with the Unlimited, 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. While these adjustments allowed for more participants to play with their age group, team numbers for the upper divisions (Jr. Midget and Midget) have declined — so much so, that Pop Warner football organizations across North County have struggled to field a Midget team for the more recent seasons. In turn, this meant that an even greater number of youngsters were turned away from playing football. With the advent of the Unlimited Division, the Ramona Pop Warner Board of Directors is optimistic about the prospects of forming a team for seventh- and eighth-grade boys of all sizes — opening up competitive football to all who wish to play. The new division also provides for a sensible transition to high school football. The Pop Warner structure that mandates playing time for all members of the team would remain while the feel of
playing with athletes of all sizes would closely mimic the high school experience to follow the subsequent season. Now, the bigger guys who play a crucial role on every football team would have playing experience going into ninth grade as opposed to going into the fast pace, CIF football regime
without previous experience. Ramona High School football coaches also 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 Damon Baldwin, Ramona High’s varsity head
football coach and athletic director. “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 organizations and helping bigger kids get healthier, play a team sport, and be a part of something 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.” Ramona Pop Warner will hold registration beginning on Saturday, March 12, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the RPW practice fields on Aqua Lane.
For more information, visit www.ramonapopwarner.com or email Nicole Lester, Ramona Pop Warner president, at nlester8@gmail.com. John Pecoraro, Ramona High School freshman football head coach, serves as vice president on the Ramona Pop Warner Board of Directors.

FROM POT, A1 concerns about the influx of dispensaries in the community. The supervisor, who shared that she did not support medical marijuana when it was approved by California voters in 1996 "because we could see the possibility of abuse,” said she has staff reviewing the county’s options with medical marijuana dispensaries and hopes to have that on the county supervisors’ March 16 agenda. "I would support a moratorium until we can figure this out," she said. Ramona Community Planning Group chair Jim Piva said the group formed a medical marijuana ad hoc committee that met Feb. 22 and will give a report at the planning group’s March 3 meeting, which will begin at 7 p.m. in the Ramona Library Community Room. Among concerns are marijuana getting into the hands of people who will use it recreationally, drivers unfamiliar with the curvy mountain roads to Ramona traveling under the influence, fears of increased crime, and the possibility of a ballot initiative this fall to legalize recreational marijuana in California. Jacob said she would not want to deny marijuana to a person with a terminal illness who benefits from it, "but it has to be done right," a sentiment expressed by many residents. If medical marijuana could be approved by the Federal Drug Administration, then it could be available at pharmacies, she said. The supervisor said that when the county adopted its ordinance regulating medical marijuana, it was told by attorneys that it could not legally ban
dispensaries. Now, two decades later, the state is creating a bureau to establish medical marijuana regulations and, Jacob said, it is legal to ban them. Several cities in the county have banned them, including Poway, Escondido and San Marcos. According to reports, the permitted dispensaries in the City of San Diego total seven and an additional six are scheduled to open in coming months. In the unincorporated county, the only other dispensary legally operating at this time is in El Cajon near Gillespie Field, Jacob said. Ramona businessman Jim Salvatore said several people have shown interest in renting one of his buildings for a dispensary. "I won't rent to them because I don't want a break-in," he said. Refusing to rent to the applicants or pre-empting their opportunity is a way to knock them out, said Jacob, noting the latter was done in Julian. A dispensary can only be in an industrial zone and 1,000 feet from a playground, school, church, youth or recreation center, and residential zoning, as stated in the county ordinance. Federally, marijuana is still illegal, Jacob said, but she added that there was an order “from the White House to the U.S. Attorney to not enforce federal law anymore.” For the county to adopt a moratorium, Jacob said it could be a battle to get two other board votes. Encouraging residents to attend when it's on the board agenda, she said: "This is not going to be an easy vote before my board, so I'm going to need your help." Among other issues brought up at the
coffee: • The Ramona Intergenerational Community Campus (RICC), proposed for property anchored by Ramona Library. Caltrans, which has property adjacent to the library, agreed to a property swap with the county, however, Jacob said: “We’re at the mercy of the fairy shrimp.” Surveys for fairy shrimp have to be done when the soil is completely dry, she said, and they may not know results until May. So far, tests have been negative, she added. • An abundance of business banners flapping in the wind along Main Street. “It looks ridiculous on our beautiful Main Street,” said business owner Sandee Salvotore, who was advised to address it with county code enforcement. • Finding good care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease and what can be done when the money runs out to afford that care. Jacob said an update on the county’s Alzheimer’s Project and research would be presented at the board’s March 1 meeting. • Hikers parking on state Route 67 and crossing the highway to the Mt.Woodson trailhead. Jacob said the county is trying to find a solution for parking but must work with the City of San Diego, which owns part of the land. • The county’s proposed agricultural promotion program addressing operations such as microbreweries, cheese-making and agricultural homestays. Gretler said the analysis is underway but it is a long process. • Construction should start this spring on the Highway 67/Highland Valley/Dye Road intersection to improve traffic flow and is estimated to be completed in 2018, Jacob said.
Lon Patrick Smalley
April 10, 1941 - February 20, 2016 RAmonA — Lon Patrick Smalley passed away peacefully with his daughter at his side after a long illness. Lon was born April 10, 1941, along with his twin brother, Don, who passed away shortly after birth, in Glendale, Arizona, to Edward and Ruth Smalley. He lived in Arizona with his two brothers, Jim and Edward, and sister, marie, until both parents passed away in 1933 and 1955. Then Lon lived with his brother, Jim, until his teenage years and later moved to ohio where he lived with his sister, marie. His sister put him through school with General Electric where he became a precision welder.
He met Shirley; they married, and had a son, Tony. They moved to California in 1961 to begin his career in Aerospace with Ametek Straza where he built the Roll Control nozzle for the Space Shuttle along with many other aerospace and
nautical accomplishments. He retired from Ametek Straza in 2008. In 1965, Lon and Shirley adopted Tammy Lynn and three years later another daughter, Lisa Robin. The family moved to Ramona. Lon and Shirley divorced in 1976. He met and married Elaine and sadly she passed away eight years later. Lon has resided in Ramona for the last 48 years. He enjoyed fishing, dancing, playing pool, being with family, and watching his favorite shows, “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy.” He was preceded in death by his son, Tony, in 2014 and brother, Jim, in 2015. He leaves behind daughter,
Tammy (Charlie) who still resides in Ramona; daughter, Lisa, and daughter-in-law, Debbie; eight grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. A service will be held on Friday, march 4, 2016, at 12:00pm at Bonham Bros. & Stewart mortuary, followed by a Celebration of Life held at his daughter, Tammy’s, residence. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Elizabeth Hospice in Escondido, CA. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/ramonasentinel.

Backcountry Art-A-Thon next weekend Students in Ramona High School’s visual and performing arts departments invite the community for 24 hours of art making from 9 a.m. March 12 to 9 a.m. March 13. Local artists are especially encouraged to come and share their knowledge with the students. “Stay for two hours or 24,” said RHS art teacher Liz Schaude. “We want to top the 300 hours we achieved last year.” Donations of munchies are appreciated. “Bring your own projects or choose one of the projects available,” said Schaude, noting there will be projects for all ages and skill levels. The event will be held in Rooms C-12 and C-15 at Ramona High, 1401 Hanson Lane. Attendees are invited to participate in mini-murals — with paint supplied by Friends of Ramona Unified Schools (FORUS), printmaking and other projects. “See an exhibit of student work in Room A-19, and talk to our outstanding student artists about the importance of art in their lives,” said Schaude. “It’s a great family outing. Free for all.”
FROM HEISTS, A1 forever. I’ve washed it 100 times.” Noting the photo with the mask, she said she was “100 percent sure” it was Graham. Graham’s attorney, Robert Rexrode III, argued that someone else who looks like Graham committed the robberies. Graham did not testify and he presented no defense witnesses in the three-day trial that began Feb. 23. Sparks found the cold weather hat that the robber wore inside Graham’s home even after the FBI searched the residence and could not find it. The prosecutor held up the hat and said it “perfectly matched” the one in the bank photos. Rexrode posed a question in his closing argument by wondering out loud if Sparks planted the hat in her ex-husband’s home. “Yes, she did. There’s no other explanation for it,” argued Rexrode. Sparks said her son went to live in Graham’s home after FBI agents arrested Graham on Nov. 20, 2015, and she stopped by the home on occasion to help clean. Sparks also found the black bag that authorities said was used to hold the money. Sparks was one of several other Ramona residents who responded to the plea from the FBI and sheriff’s department after they released the bank photos to the media. Other people who knew Graham also identified him as the robber. Rexrode repeatedly asked Sparks if she hated her ex-husband, and she said no. Rexrode said Sparks sent out “an e-mail blast” with the robber’s bank photo to other people saying it might be her ex-husband. Sparks married Graham in 2009 and they divorced in 2015. Rexrode said that “she does hate her husband.” The FBI found a gun under Graham’s bed. The gun had a wooden handle that matched the description given by bank teller Maria Velazquez, who said the robber showed her a gun in his waistband. “It was really scary. He had a gun,” said Velazquez. The money from the second robbery was never found. The prosecutor said Graham made three to four cash deposits in his bank account in February, including on the day the bank was robbed. Graham deposited about $3,000 on different days, but his attorney had an explanation. Rexrode said Graham won $2,000 at Barona Casino on Feb. 2 and those winnings were deposited in his account. Marilyn McNulty, a teller who retired in 2015, waited on the robber on Feb. 11 and asked him if he was sick because he was wearing a medical mask. McNulty said the robber only used hand gestures and presented her a note to put the money in a bag. McNulty said the robber appeared to her to be “kind of elderly and thin.” She said she couldn’t give a good description. “It was hard to see his face. He wore glasses and most of his face was covered,” she said. Several bank employees could identify Graham as the robber, but others could not. The robber took the demand notes. Graham’s sister came from Maine to attend the trial, and she declined to make any comment. Several of Graham’s friends attended the trial in downtown San Diego.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $32,614.38 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $32,614.38 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable.

This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash.

If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and

Pomodoro, is a 2-year-old Korean Mastiff mix. This beautiful girl was one of the 29 dogs rescued from a Korean Dog Meat farm in September 2015.

Pomodoro was raised in deplorable conditions similar to conditions found in puppy mills. She was kept in small, cramped cage, w/ limited access to food/ water. Because of her history, she needs a patient/loving family willing to help her transition. She needs an adult-only home without other pets. She has shown her caregivers the power of positive reinforcement training showing she can be a cuddly companion who loves give kisses.Pomodoro is available for adoption at San diego Humane Society’S San diego camPuS, 5500 gaineS Street.

ENTERTAINENT
Welk’s ‘Fiddler on the Roof’does not disappoint BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK tarting with a powerful rendition of “Tradition” and sustaining that quality of performance throughout, Welk Resort Theatre’s “Fiddler on the Roof” does not disappoint. The multi-Tony Award-winning Broadway musical is appearing on the Welk’s Escondido stage, with New York-based actor Rudy Martinez excelling as family patriarch Tevye, a poor milkman fighting a losing battle over maintaining tradition. Set in the small, predominantly Jewish town of Anatevka in 1905 Russia, the villagers are coming to terms with political unrest, government animosity toward Jews and their community’s younger residents bucking tradition, favoring more personal interactions between men and women (like dancing together) and marriages based on love, even if that means marrying outside of the faith or against one’s parents’ wishes. Tevye, his wife, Golde (Wendy Waddell), and their five daughters are front-and-center for this period of societal and political change, representing households’ struggles in Anatevka and other villages as Jews are forced out of their homes by Russian leaders. At the turn of the 20th century, marriages in Anatevka are still arranged by a Yente (Susan E.V. Boland), which is what Tevye and Golde expect for their daughters. The three oldest — Tzeitel (Kelly

REVIEW
KEN JACQUES
Golde (Wendy Waddell) and Tevye (Rudy Martinez) ask each other “Do You Love Me?” while contemplating their arranged marriage of 25 years in the Welk’s “Fiddler on the Roof.” Derouin), Hodel (Nicki Elledge) and Chava (Olivia Hodson) — have other ideas. Initially the girls accept that Yente holds their fates in her hands, but as they progress through the song “Matchmaker” — a number with cute choreography filled with youthful exuberance — it becomes apparent that they are reluctant to marry at such a young age, especially if Yente picks much older men for them. That scenario becomes reality for Tzeitel when, per Yente’s matchmaking, Tevye agrees to her
marrying the widower Lazar Wolf (Scott Ramp). Though Tevye has never liked the man — who is older than himself — he agrees since Lazar is a wealthy butcher, a guarantee that Tzeitel will not be hungry. But Tzeitel is in love with childhood friend Motel (Ben Williams), a poor tailor with lots of ambition. Secretly, they pledge their love — and promise to marry — without telling their parents or involving a Yente. How things unfold with Tzeitel sets the stage for her younger sisters to push boundaries and their father’s patience even further.
Kathy Brombacher, founder/artistic director emeritus of Moonlight Stage Productions for 32 years, directs the Welk’s show. Her staging, combined with Orlando Alexander’s choreographic talent, makes this “Fiddler” worth seeing. They deserve special kudos for a creative staging of “The Dream,” where Tevye has to get Golde to accept his decision regarding whom Tzeitel will marry. Of course, Brombacher and Alexander’s efforts would not be successful were it not for the 19 cast members’ abilities. In addition to memorial performances by Martinez and Waddell, others deserving mention include Williams for his portrayal of the timid Motel; Jacob Hoff for his performance as intellectual revolutionary Perchik; and Derouin, Elledge and Hodson for playing the girls torn between doing what is expected of them and following their hearts. Some of the best musical numbers include Martinez’s “If I Were a Rich Man,” a song that along with “Tradition” showcased his rich voice. His duet with Waddell, when asking “Do You Love Me?” was sweet. Others include the lively “To Life,” Williams’ “Miracles of Miracles,” Hoff’s “Now I Have Everything” and Elledge’s “Far From the Home I Love.” “Fiddler on the Roof” can be seen at 1 p.m. Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays; plus 8 p.m. Thursdays and Saturdays through April 24. Tickets are $49, with group/subscriber discounts available. An optional pre-show buffet is $19. Purchase at welkresorts.com or call 888-802-7469. The Welk Resort Theatre is at 8860 Lawrence Welk Drive in Escondido. Parking is free.

What to know before renovating or building a home (StatePoint) Building a home or making upgrades? One of the most important factors to consider is the material used. While “all-natural” may be an appealing quality on your plate, in construction, man-made products often provide more options and value. Seek out materials offering durability, energy-efficiency and resistance to threats like fire and wicked weather. Many such high-quality products are domestic, so you can support U.S. manufacturing while making key choices. Boost home beauty, strength and efficiency with these projects: Solid Foundation Start a new home with a solid pre-cast concrete foundation. Those from Superior Walls are customized for individual homes and installed in one day — far faster than alternatives like poured concrete. Rigid foam insulation in these concrete panels wards off heat loss and creates a barrier against sidewall water penetration. These features make the basement dampfree and a more comfortable area for extended living space in the home. Plucky Plumbing Perhaps your toilet rattles and leaks; maybe your tub and sink look dingy no matter how much you clean them. If it’s time to replace bathroom elements, use newer materials offering water efficiency, style and safety benefits.
Whether it’s an acrylic block window over a bathtub or a set of decorative glass windows in the kitchen, privacy windows are a great accent for any room. Those from Hy-Lite are offered in a variety of styles, sizes and enhancements. Operable awning, casement, slide and single hung units can easily be opened to encourage airflow. Their Home Designer Collection features nods to architectural styles like Metro, Mission, Prairie and Baroque to complement any home.
Polymer slate and shake roofing tiles add beauty and durability to a home. Look for a toilet marked with the WaterSense label, which indicates it’s been certified to be at least 20 percent more efficient without sacrificing performance. The free Water Savings Calculator at the Mansfield Plumbing website can help you determine your return-on-investment. For a coordinated look, consider a suite of products that work together, like the Affordable Style Designer series from Mansfield Plumbing. You get a toilet, tub and sink, all in the same style.
Switching to an easy-access SmartHeight toilet can be another smart move. Options in the bathroom like grab bars, walk-in tubs and pedestal sinks, all provide enhanced safety and comfort. Gorgeous Windows Over time, windows can look old and become difficult to operate. Make wise replacement choices that add beauty and privacy to key areas of your home without compromising light entry.

The Roof Your roof is your protective layer, between the elements and you. Ideally it should be impact- and fire-resistant, as well as beautiful. Natural slate and shake roofing materials evoke traditional charm; however they tend to degrade over time. Look for the man-made alternative. Polymer slate and shake roofing tiles capture the authentic look of natural materials but are more resistant to chipping, flaking and splintering. For example, DaVinci Roofscapes offers an impressive array of more than 50 colors and blends for an enhanced look, plus they resist fire and severe weather. Their roofs also come with a lifetime limited warranty, saving you big on repairs, inspection and maintenance down the line. To be a savvy homeowner, don’t leave it to chance. Select durable, high-quality man-made products.
