The plans by San Diego Gas & Electric to counter-sue October 2007 fire victims serves the purpose of establishing the utility’s legal rights and obligation limits in the event of a lawsuit against SDG&E. “We find ourselves in the middle of litigation, and it’s our obligation to our customers as well as our shareholders to preserve our legal rights,” said SDG&E spokesperson Stephanie Donovan. “If these cases go to trial we want to make sure all of the evidence is on the table.” The preliminary assessment is that the Witch,...

Since December 1 through February, I measured 15 inches of rainfall on my property. This is 50 percent above average rainfall. Last year we had average rainfall. My son in Fresno informed me that more than six feet of snow has fallen in the mountains. Where is this drought condition recently reported by the water authorities? These water authorities are absolute failures. In 1991, San Diego County had a drought condition and their only solution was to conserve water, allow new construction and new customers while waiting 17...
I cannot help but laugh my pants off at the suggestion by Tom Conley that [Jon] Monday watch Fox News in order to get perspective. That would be as funny as me suggesting that Republicans get perspective by watching MSNBC. Those networks are as skewed to the extremes as could be. Come on, Conley. Faux News has Rove and Hannity masquerading as giving us unbiased opinions and “news.” Wake up. Try watching three and a half hours of Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” “Face the Nation,” “This Week with George” and the BBC newscasts. At...
It seems every time I read the Opinion page, the same people are attacking President Bush. Without a doubt, mistakes were made, but by both sides. It is never mentioned that the CRA bill passed under Carter is the reason banks are forced to loan to unqualified persons, or that President Obama showed Acorn how to get funding to loan to unqualified persons. Nor is it mentioned that President Bush warned Congress who took no heed. No mention either of how Joseph Kennedy and friends shorted the market, driving the economy down...
Members of the North County Forum are turning the Opinion section of the Village News into a far left-wing blog. They distort history by creating facts as the basis of their arguments rather than basing the arguments on facts. For example, Jon Monday credits Roosevelt with ending the Great Depression when it is now understood that policies of the Federal Reserves created the Great Depression and Roosevelt lengthened it by massive spending on unsuccessful projects. It is well documented that it was World War II that turned the...

Did you know that there is a doctor who had performed over 10,000 abortions and volunteered to perform one for a video; when he viewed the video, he walked out never to perform an abortion again. Dr. Aleck Bourne in the article “A Doctor Speaks” in the London Express Jan. 25 quoted “I have never known a woman who, after her baby was born ‘alive’, was not overjoyed that I had not killed it.” In many clinics, the women are never allowed to look at the ultrasound. When women ask questions during counseling before an abortion li...
Elaine May once said, “I much prefer a moral dilemma to a real one.” Our Congressman Darrell Issa is having a moral dilemma: any constructive plans to get the American people out the economic mess we’re now struggling with is rejected because it is contrary to Republican orthodox “philosophy.” We’ve seen the fruits of this philosophy, which consists of deregulation, trickledown, tax cuts for the wealthy, capital gains tax cuts, one-time handouts and more tax cuts. Given our recent experience, to say that his “philosophy...

SAN DIEGO — On Saturday, January 31, at Old Town State Park, hundreds of participants, many from Fallbrook, commemorated the 161st anniversary of the Mormon Battalion’s arrival there after one of the longest, most torturous marches in military history. It must have seemed like paradise in January of 1847 to the half-starved 335 men and four women of the Mormon Battalion who straggled into the Little Mission of San Diego. June of 1846 found 15,000 Church of Jesus Christ of Lat...
FALLBROOK — On February 17, the Fallbrook Village Rotary celebrated its change of venue to the Hukilau at Fallbrook Golf Club by awarding funds to the Arts in the Park Committee.
