SAN MARCOS (CNS) - A 25-year-old woman was behind bars Thursday on suspicion of stabbing another driver following a road-rage incident last week in San Marcos. Jasmine Putnam was arrested Tuesday in connection with a fight and stabbing that happened shortly after 6 p.m. Friday on Nordahl Road just off state Route 78, CHP Officer Juan Escobar said. Prior to the fight, the drivers of a Nissan Pathfinder SUV and a Honda Civic sedan were involved in a road-rage incident on eastbound SR-78 in San Marcos, Escobar said. Both...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A cold and blustery storm doused the San Diego area with widespread precipitation today, bringing anywhere from a few hundredths of an inch to nearly an inch of moisture across the region. The heaviest rains out of the fast-moving unsettled atmospheric system hit in the late morning and afternoon, accompanied at times by lightning and hail, according to the National Weather Service. Pea-sized pellets of ice pelted various communities, with some up to a half-inch in diameter covering the ground in parts of...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County public health officials reported 352 new COVID-19 cases and 25 additional deaths Wednesday as health care sites await more vaccines, including the one-dose vaccine from Johnson & Johnson. On Wednesday, Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said the county should be proud of the sacrifice it had made during the pandemic and suggested a change in the formula the state uses to calculate its four-tiered reopening structure could be on the way. He said the...

Four patients were flown by air ambulance from El Centro Regional Medical Center to UC San Diego Medical Center on Tuesday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County public health officials reported 269 new COVID-19 infections Monday and no deaths, while the vaccine shortage kept Petco Park's COVID-19 superstation closed and a state-led deal to reopen schools could penalize non-compliant school districts. Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders announced a multibillion-dollar deal Monday aimed at enticing schools to resume in-person instruction for young students by April 1, but previously existing San Diego Unified plans for COVID vaccinations of...
COVID relief legislation I have recently co-written multiple legislative measures aimed at assisting California workers, business owners, parents and students‚ as well as placing some checks on Gov. Gavin Newsom's state of emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first of these measures, Assembly Bill 54, would prohibit state agencies from revoking a business license for non-compliance with shutdown orders without first proving the business was a cause of w...
Avery Lynas began her high school athletic career by finishing first in the cross-country dual meet Friday, Feb. 12, at Fallbrook High School. Lynas had a time of 14 minutes 3.8 seconds on the 2-mile course to win the individual portion of the race. "It was great. It was a really fun race.

CAMP PENDLETON – A young Marine was recognized for actions taken on Feb. 15 when he saved the lives of two civilian kayakers at the 21 Area Boat Basin. Cpl. Jordan Perez, a combat engineer with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, was present when a married couple was calling for help from the water. The boat basin, surrounded by large, sharp boulders, produced unforgiving waves that day that flipped their kayak. Through these waves, Perez estimated t...
CAMP PENDLETON – The past year has been one of operational and cosmetic upgrades for facilities on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. Base patrons are no strangers to construction projects that often change the flow of traffic and road access during their commute. Some might wonder what the end goal of these projects are, and the answer to this lies in our mission to support the warfighter. On Jan. 22, 2021, U.S. Marine Brig. Gen. Dan Conley, the commanding general of Marine C...
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors gave support to lowering the speed limit on McDonald Road from 45 mph to 40 mph. The supervisors’ 5-0 vote Wednesday, Feb. 10, approved the first reading and introduction of the ordinance to reduce the speed limit on McDonald Road between Fallbrook Street and Pepper Tree Lane, while retaining radar certification for that 1.0-mile segment. The second reading and adoption is scheduled for March 3, in which case the lower speed limit w...
There were four pioneers whose remarkable stories should not be forgotten: James Hamilton, Albert and Margaret Robinson, and Nate Harrison. They settled in Anza, Julian, and on Palomar Mountain. James Hamilton was born in Ohio. In the late 1840s, he and a brother came west with a Mormon group heading to Utah Territory. Hamilton arrived in San Bernardino in 1850 and then moved to San Diego where he operated a hotel for a while. James went to Rancho San Felipe, near Warner...
The Rainbow Community Planning Group will be working on an update of the Rainbow Community Plan. Lynne Malinowski, who chairs the planning group’s Architectural Subcommittee, addressed the desire for an update at the planning group’s Feb. 17 meeting. “I’ve decided to revisit the Rainbow Community Plan,” Malinowski said. “I think it’s crucial to understand it.” The Rainbow Community Plan was developed in 2009 and incorporated into the county’s general plan update adopted by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors in Au...
Lake Wohlford Dam is an important water storage, flood control and recreational facility that has served Escondido for generations. Restoring storage capacity and making it earthquake-safe is critically important, which is why I introduced AB 692. The dam was originally constructed in 1895 to store water transported via a wooden flume from the San Luis Rey River to Escondido. One of the first rock-fill dams in California, Lake Wohlford Dam was 76 feet high and had a storage...
The subject letter begins with this challenge: "When you say the election was fair and refuse to even look at all the mountain of evidence, it’s all I need to know about you.” If that’s all you need to know about me, then all the challenges that follow that first one are irrelevant. Also, the first challenge is written in the same form as this classic: Answer yes or no. Have you stopped beating your wife? So, before I can look at, or refuse to look at, “a mountain of evidence,” it has to exist. Please present at least a small...
Being up in years and having a spouse with compromised immune issues, I’ve been mostly at home with cabin fever. However, being a former lacrosse coach, I was really looking forward to February when I usually get to see college games on TV. This past Saturday (Feb. 20) was especially rewarding. The news that youth sports was going to be permitted again, having been cancelled for a year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, brought this day into perspective. In 2006, my college teammate, Chas Mudie and I started the Fallbrook W...
I never expected that the Fallbrook Village News would become a welcome source of honest commentary on our government “leaders,” but it has. Publisher Julie Reeder’s no-nonsense way of explaining things – and her evidently not being too concerned with upsetting the easily triggered types – is commendable. A recent letter to the Village News, from a person of that persuasion, demonstrated that these are not happy people. There is no jubilation among them at Biden’s being sworn-in as president. The L.A. Times, for example, can...
