Last year they won one game all season. A year later, the Fallbrook Union High School's Varsity Boys Basketball team fell just six points short of going to the CIF San Diego Section Division 5 Championship game when they lost 50-44 to Classical Academy on Thursday, Feb. 25 at Fallbrook High. During the game, the lead changed hands several times with each team going on runs in front of a loud and very involved home crowd. After senior Joel Calhoun tied the game at 36 apiece...
Senior Cooper Sherman scored 30 points by making 14 shots from the field, including one three-pointer, to lead the No. 1 seeded Warriors boys varsity basketball team to a 77-58 quarterfinal win over Vincent Memorial at Fallbrook High School. "We got up like 24 points in the first half at one point and kind of let them crawl back in," head coach Ryan Smith said. "They got within like 10 or 12 in the third quarter and then we pushed it right back up to about 20. Then we're up...

Elliot Spagat The Associated Press The Trump administration said Tuesday, Feb. 18, that it will waive federal contracting laws to speed construction of a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Department of Homeland Security said waiving procurement regulations will allow 177 miles of wall to be built more quickly in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The 10 waived laws include requirements for having open competition, justifying selections and receiving all bonding from...
Thomas Beaumont The Associated Press So far, Pete Buttigieg has made it look easy. The once little-known former mayor of a midsize Midwestern city vaulted over a former vice president and several U.S. senators in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire presidential primary. The 38-year-old's fresh face, intellect and turn-the-page message won votes across many demographic groups in the kickoff states. Now the promise of his candidacy is colliding with the reality of the central...
Matthew Vadum The Epoch Times A federal judge refused to grant Uber and Postmates an injunction against California’s unusually restrictive anti-contractor law, even after acknowledging the law would cause the two companies “irreparable harm.” The law, known as Assembly Bill 5, forces companies to reclassify their freelancers as employees, which goes against their business model. When it took effect Jan. 1, the law made it hard for so-called gig economy companies to classify people who work for them as independent contractors...
Joseph Pisani AP Retail Writer Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said Monday, Feb. 17, that he plans to spend $10 billion of his own fortune to help fight climate change. Bezos, the world's richest person, said in an Instagram post that he'll start giving grants this summer to scientists, activists and nonprofits working to protect Earth. "I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change," Bezos...
David Crary AP National Writer Barraged by hundreds of sex-abuse lawsuits, the Boy Scouts of America filed for bankruptcy protection Tuesday, Feb. 18, in hopes of working out a potentially mammoth victim compensation plan that will allow the hallowed, 110-year-old organization to carry on. The Chapter 11 filing in federal bankruptcy court in Wilmington, Delaware, sets in motion what could be one of the biggest, most complex bankruptcies ever seen. Scores of lawyers are...
AD-75 (R) Our personal data is valuable, needing secure protection in this digital age. In 2018, Gov. Jerry Brown signed California’s Consumer Protection Act, the toughest, most far-reaching data protection law ever passed in the United States. Though the law was passed in 2018, its provisions became effective Jan. 1. The CCPA grants Californians the right to request that businesses not disclose any personal information collected about them, the categories and sources of t...
Prop 13 was and remains a 1978 landmark amendment to the CA constitution protecting property owners from excessively rising tax increases. One would think that the name of such a landmark initiative would not be recycled in order to avoid confusion. What exactly is this March 3 “phony” Prop 13? This statewide proposition is a $15 billion school construction bond which allows schools to raise their debt limit from 1.2 to 2%. Prop 13 is a money grab. In addition, the March 3 Prop 13, should not be confused with the Schools and...
SACRAMENTO – State Senator Brian Jones (R-Santee) announced Feb. 13 that he has introduced Senate Bill 1003, a measure to extend the immunity from liability that local governments receive when operating skate parks. Skate parks are a reserved area (often in a community park) that is set aside and built for use by skateboarders and extreme sport riders who use all-wheeled, non motorized bicycles, scooters and wheelchairs. Locally operated skate parks offer a place for skateboarders and sport riders to enjoy their sport and h...
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, the Newland Sierra development that is proposed for the Northwest side of 15 and Deer Springs Rd, is not a feel good, kumbaya development to help the future generations to come. Newland Sierra will make the developers many millions of dollars while putting at risk the residents that have been living in that area for decades. Take for example the residents of Hidden Meadows; during the last two evacuations, it took some residents over an hour to get down the mountain, using Mountain...
We’ve all heard it; there’s a shortage of housing in San Diego County. Every day, families spend hours in their car, stuck in traffic as they make their way to and from work. Many of these folks are not living in San Diego County. It’s a sad day when you realize your children, many of whom are college graduates, can’t afford to buy a starter home in this county. While there is a shortage of housing, there is no shortage of government regulations. Young families, our veteran...
I am neither advocating for or against Measure A, but I would like clarity on the issue. In Mark Jackson’s letter to the editor criticizing Kim Murphy’s analysis of Measure A, he is only partially correct in that the ballot itself does not contain all of the language referenced by Ms. Murphy, specifically the issues of permanently prohibiting density transfers and the designation of new specific plan areas. If Mr. Jackson would read the full content of Measure A as presented on Page 30 of the sample ballot and voter inf...
The upcoming March 3 election can be challenging at times when we have a lot of choices, and each side’s rhetoric fails to tell the entire truth, especially on Measures A and B. I just wanted to provide what was given to me as a reference for Prop 13. I have heard the term bait and switch for this particular proposition. It seems this has a flavor of increased taxes for everyone and not an intention to save Prop 13 as is. In the voter guide, it states that Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is against this Prop 13. The p...
A Celebration of Life for Gary Hardcastle Johnson will be held Saturday, Feb. 29, at 1 p.m. at the Fallbrook United Methodist Church, 1844 Winterhaven Road in Fallbrook....
