It quoted San Ysidro Board of Trustees Chairman Antonio Martinez, "I think ultimately (attorney Dan Shinoff) saw us as vulnerable and as an opportunity to make money and that's unacceptable."

The program I picked is called "Pasta for Pennies," whereby Olive Garden will provide a pasta lunch for the classroom that raised the most money. The library and Mrs. Walker's second period class were the winners, and our...
Assemblymember Marie WaldronAD-75 (R) Recent news about California’s high-speed rail project is raising more questions. Construction on the initial 29-mile link between Fresno and Merced, now two years behind schedule, was rescheduled to begin this March, but has now been delayed several more months.

FALLBROOK – For cleaning driveways, sidewalks or patios, use a broom or air blower instead of a hose to minimize unnecessary water use. This not only eliminates water use, but also protects streams and the ocean by reducing runoff that may be tainted by pollutants.

More water-saving tips and rebates can be found at WaterSmartSD.org....

SAN DIEGO COUNTY – County residents are reminded that they can help keep flies from being a nuisance during warm weather spells.

Use trash container liners – The most eff...
