FALLBROOK – Warm weather means more opportunities to spend time outdoors while at home. Whether your favorite form of outdoor recreation includes sitting on the patio reading or digging in the garden, there's a good chance that you will be sharing the space with local wildlife. Optimizing opportunities to view and interact with backyard wildlife can make the great outdoors even more enjoyable. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology indicates that there are around 2,059 bird species on...

JULIAN – Already famous for its autumn apple harvest, the rustic mountain mining town of Julian is developing a new reputation for its spring daffodil season. This year all eyes are on Julian Farm and Orchard, where more than 50,000 daffodil bulbs have already begun to explode in bright yellow color just days before the start of the farm's inaugural "Daffodil Days" event. The 25-acre family-friendly farm and orchard will be open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays b...
SAN DIEGO – We all witnessed the raw, emotional images coming out of Kabul, Afghanistan, this past summer with the noncombatant evacuation operations of our Afghan allies and their families to overseas locations. The evacuation images that America saw on television of Kabul, Afghanistan, were, for some, reminiscent of the NEO of the United States embassy in Saigon, Vietnam in April 1975 when the war in Vietnam ended. If not evacuated, Vietnamese military and civilians that s...
WASHINGTON-The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced today that Navy Water Tender 1st Class Oliver K. Burger, 26, of San Pedro, California, killed during World War II, was accounted for on Nov. 24, 2020. On Dec. 7, 1941, Burger was assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma, which was moored at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, when the ship was attacked by Japanese aircraft. The USS Oklahoma sustained multiple torpedo hits, which caused it to quickly capsize. The attack on the...
I want to say “Thank you” to our great paramedics. On Feb. 19, I was in need of an ambulance. In minutes, they were at my home. The care I received was wonderful. Our fire department is the best. Jayne Hernandez...
Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 Every day, gasoline prices set a new record. While some of the recent increase is attributed to uncertainty following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, prices have been shooting up for over a year and there’s no end in sight. That is why I am supporting legislation to suspend the gas tax and I joined a bipartisan group of legislators urging the Governor to take advantage of California’s abundant inland natural resources. Instead, the Governor has offered only partial relief and tax rebat...
Julie Reeder Publisher It’s now confirmed, more than a year after the Federal Cybersecurity agency declared the “2020 presidential election was a perfectly secure vote,” that there were serious irregularities, unconstitutional rule changes, illegal ballot harvesting and Iranians have now been indicted for their hacking to influence the election. No matter what, it was far from a perfect election. It likely won’t change the past, even though there were over 1,000 affidavits signed under penalty of perjury. People were berated...
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District It's inexcusable to see pictures of gas prices in the $6 and $7 range. I cannot stand by and let San Diegans suffer while Sacramento politicians build up their coffers. I admit this is a short-term problem and longer solutions need to be looked into, like America becoming less dependent on foreign nations but, that’s a federal issue. In the meantime, San Diegans need help and it’s time for Sacramento bureaucrats to step up. Last week, I submitted a Board letter to the County Board of Sup...
The brief answer to the subject letter’s rhetorical question is no. We’re recovering from a major pandemic, our government thwarted an attempted coup, we’re in the midst of a global economic inflation, and we’re feeling the increasing economic costs of climate change. But we have the resilience to survive and will once again thrive. But some things must change. First of all, nostalgia for the “good old days” is counter-productive: we need to concentrate on producing the future that is our birthright. Science and technology...

Tempers are no laughing matter. We’ve all seen the long-term damage that can be done when harsh and hurtful words are spoken in a fit of anger. Your spouse, friend, or child may never fully get over what was said. As Maya Angelou put it, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Let me share a couple of verses from the Bible that give timeless guidelines for us to gain victory...

FALLBROOK – Researchers increasingly are finding that "do-re-mi" may be just as essential to children's development as "A-B-C." Music education, which was once required in the classroom, is increasingly absent from school curriculums. However, proponents feel there should be a greater push for musical education as part of school curricula because of the many benefits students reap from music education. Taps into multiple skill sets Music participation goes beyond playing an i...
