Fallbrook High School was the site of the CIF Division II wrestling championship tournament Feb. 9, and the Fallbrook team not only hosted the tournament but also advanced six Warriors to the all-division Masters Tournament. “I couldn’t have asked for a better tournament,” Fallbrook coach Cristian Vera said.

California lawmakers recognized water as a basic human right in 2012. Since then, voters have approved over $10 billion in bonds to fund statewide water projects, yet for some Californians, clean and safe drinking water is still unavailable. So why is this? And why are residents being asked to pay a tax every time they turn on the faucet? According to a recent study, 360,000 people living in mostly rural and agricultural regions of the state are served by water systems that...
SACRAMENTO – Sen. Brian Jones, R-Santee, responded to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s State of the State address: “On the border – The governor rightly claimed that illegal border crossings are at a historic low. But instead of simply saying ‘thank you’ to our federal government, he ratchets up the political rhetoric making a show of recalling our California National Guard and claiming that the federal administration is engaged in ‘theater’ for a ‘manufactured crisis.’ This is not a ‘manufactured crisis.’ This is a real crisis, and he a...
As a former business owner, I cringe every time I hear the word “fair” when Democrats are proposing new taxes. In the letter, “The truth about Proposition 13,” the author proposes that the state alter one of the original provisions of Proposition 13 by raising the taxes on corporations and on commercial and industrial properties. The author professes this is a “fair” remedy in assisting California with its budget shortcomings. He also contends that the new “Make it Fair” proposition will guarantee protections for existing re...

The movement involved in yoga exercises muscles and anything that works muscles is good for people’s hearts and blood vessels. And this activity will help muscles become more sensitive to i...

New York, NY – As the winter months stretch on, those looking to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) may be tempted to use indoor ultraviolet (UV) tanning devices. Not only is indoor tanning a dangerous habit, it does not successfully treat SAD. Light therapy, an effective treatment for SAD, acts through the eyes and relies on visible light, whereas the dangerous UV radiation emitted by tanning beds is invisible light. SAD is a form of depression believed to be caused by a hormonal imbalance that is commonly triggered d...
David Mitchell is a man with a mission. He is determined to stitch together a movement that will finally smash the power of the pharmaceutical industry and bring pocketbook relief to millions of Americans who need expensive drugs. Mitchell, a 68-year-old former Washington communications executive, was diagnosed eight years ago with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer. Until recently, the disease has been held in check by drugs costing $325,000 a year. Medicare and a good Medigap policy have covered most of the expense. In 2016...
