What a wake-up call for being prepared

WOW….we were sitting here in the pleasant cool of our air conditioning, the kids playing a video game, my husband on his computer, I was starting to cook the potatoes for dinner when suddenly it all stopped—the TV, the computer, the stove, the AC all gone.

Letters to the editor

Idol contestants knew the rules

Really surprised you printed the letter two weeks ago on Idol being unfair.

The use of karaoke track (lyrics on screen) and background tracks (no lyrics on screen)

Dump truck drivers cause concern

A recent Sentinel reported that the Ramona Landfill ceased operations in 2009. State environmental regulations mandated that the 28-acre site be “capped off” with 4 feet of dirt. These requirements have resulted in as many as 100 large dump trucks full of soil passing through Ramona daily.

Town Hall Band expresses appreciation

On behalf of the Ramona Town Hall Brass Band, I would like to express my deep appreciation for your support and cooperation on Monday, July 4th. The day was perfect all around and your willingness to accommodate the band was fantastic.

Spend money on other road projects

Can you believe it? They are still at it. RCPG is still pushing the proposed Ramona Street extension forward.

When you walk on the top of a cliff, the path seems fairly level.

Greatest generation assumed responsibility

With July 4th approaching, it is the perfect time to consider the sacrifices made by our ancestors, to celebrate their successes, and consider how we are doing in comparison. One group often cited as the gold standard Americans is what we call the Greatest Generation, the people who survived the Great Depression and sacrificed through WWII to protect our liberties.

The greatest generation was vastly different than the people we have in America today. Today we want our taxes, our guns and freedom, and have little consideration for grandma on Social Security and Medicare. Sadly, that

Amazing support for All Star tournament

I just wanted to say thank you to all the amazing board members who worked so many hours, and to all the sponsors that supported the Ramona Girls All Star Tournament.

I have lived in Ramona for 30 years and have always considered this a close knit community, but this weekend we even got contributions from Jamba Juice of Poway.

Thank you for prompt, professional attention

I wanted to get a little (actually a big) Thank You in the paper for Dr. Arsham and Dr. Daquino’s Family Medical practice. Last week shortly before 5 p.m I sliced my thumb severely with a kitchen knife and it was bleeding profusely. Even though I have medical insurance for a facility down the hill, I was not sure if I would be able to wait that long with the drive, or through urgent care or the emergency room wait time.

We phoned to Dr Arsham’s office, locally here in town on Main Street across from Kmart, and they agreed to have us come on in. From the minute I walked through the door, my mind was put at ease with their prompt and

Irresponsible driver puts others at risk

I would like to say “thank you” to the ridiculously irresponsible driver of the silver Toyota Corolla. Thank you for passing me on a double yellow around a turn driving to Ramona from Escondido on 78 on Tuesday, June 14, 2011.

As if driving that road daily isn’t frustrating and scary enough with slow big rigs, motorhomes, and horse trailers. You decided it was a good idea to pass me on a blind corner to move ahead one space, to get behind the slow motorhome I was behind.

Sponsors contributed to entertaining dog show

The Kiwanis Club of Ramona’s 7th Annual Bow Wow Pow Wow Fun Dog Show, held Saturday, June 11, was highly entertaining to all in attendance at the Ramona Outdoor Community Center. The dogs along with their companions were highly entertaining. It was once again a fun filled day and a successful event.

On behalf of Kiwanis of Ramona, thank you to all who contributed to the success of this event. Proceeds benefit Kiwanis Community Services including scholarships, Children’s Hospital and Ramona’s Emergency Animal Rescue.
