Thank you to high school students Leo Maldonado and Marcos Morales who joined the effort to spruce up Fallbrook in preparation for visitors to Fallbrook for the Avocado Festival. In general, volunteers from Fallbrook High School's student community service program help and support Fallbrook’s nonprofits to fulfill their community service requirement for graduation. In our unincorporated community that has no tax based funding, this is great. It makes our young people aware of the responsibility we have of giving back to o...

Determining what's behind a s...

Laura Hall left us on the morning of Feb. 28, 2022. Her family was gathered together in her home and was able to say their goodbyes. She had suffered for almost eight years and was now free of pain. Her dream was to visit Paris, France so we've no doubt that she took a quick detour before arriving home in the arms of our heavenly Father. Laura was born in Davenport, Iowa. When she was 3 years old, her family moved to La Jolla, San Diego, where she grew up. After graduating fro...

Today it’s raining. You know, the civilized way it does here in California. It would be called a drizzle in Kansas or any other place in the middle west where every drop of precipitation is accompanied by ear-racketing thunder, hair-straightening lightning, followed by torrents of liquid cascading to the earth. Now that’s rain. Here in North County, nature is a bit more polite. She just mucks up our last carwash and streaks the kitchen window, all the while, “the rain...
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District We are incredibly lucky to live in such a wonderful region. I believe San Diego is the greatest county in the world, specifically North County! We are home to such a variety of amenities, from business, education, tourism, healthcare, technology and so much more. Fun fact, District 5, which is the district I represent, is the biggest district in San Diego County, making up over 51% of the entire county. Also, District 5 is bigger than the state of Delaware. As a way of highlighting all the...
I hear titles or cliches in my head, often when I think about the real estate marketplace. Titles like “The Fast and the Furious” or phrases like “the devil is in the details.” Sometimes it feels like we’re spinning plates on sticks, praying that none of the plates crash to the ground. Take your eye off the ball and “you’re out!” Sorry about that, I can’t help myself. The fact of the matter is that all those phrases apply to today’s real estate market and the importance of t...
Julie Reeder Publisher Interesting developments this week: Entrepreneur Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and co-founder of Neuralink, invested $3 Billion dollars recently in Twitter stock, which makes him the largest shareholder. Musk has been quite outspoken regarding social platforms censoring free speech. He also publicly rebelled against California Gov. Newsom’s lockdowns and moved his corporate headquarters from California to Texas in protest. After the revelation of Twitter’s new stockholder went public, Twitter fou...
April 10, 2022 marks 30 years after a drunk driver hit me when I was 16 years old. I had a four month long coma, broken bones, paralysis, and brain injuries. My gait is not perfect, I read lips and my speech is not ideal. I deal with these problems daily. Years of therapy and personal strength paid off. Inspiring people is my goal. In April 2006, I started speaking at Every 15 Minutes retreats with the CHP and other First Responders teaching teenagers to not drink and drive. I also spoke to schools and groups in six cities...
Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath 76th District As a mother, I’ve made keeping my kids safe online a priority. It is well known that social media can have a profound impact on our kids’ emotional and mental health, particularly their self-esteem, body image, and relationships with others. It’s also no secret that the Internet and social media can provide our children with a world of possibilities to explore and learn. That’s why the Assembly Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism, and Internet Media Committee, which I chair...
I want to express my profound appreciation to "JT" for drawing attention to my letter entitled "Is America in her final days?" Although his critique was without merit, his comments demonstrate how close-minded partisan Democrats have become. Armed with dubious sources, his rebuttal was full of half-truths and untruths that we've heard from Democrats so many times before. It's clear there are two distinctly different visions for our future, one that embraces our heritage and one that runs from it. For those who still love and...
Many of us acknowledge that the world and our country, as we used to know it, is imploding. Many of us blame the Biden Administration and their policies for causing this and for reversing so many of Trump's policies that were working. There are other factors causing mayhem around the world and in our country. One of which is our moral fabric. I invite you to attend a one-time showing of Trevor Loudon's new documentary, "Enemies Within the Church," to see what is happening or not happening to keep our country a Christian...
