Mother’s Day is May 9 this year. I’ve celebrated 58 of them so far. Who knew, at 18, that being a mother was going to be a job for the rest of my life? Motherhood, when done right, comes at a price. May I say, it ain’t what it’s cracked up to be? Personal sacrifices become de rigor. Because once removed from the nursery the lil darlings start their development as they wind their way toward adulthood. First stepping on your toes followed by stepping on your heart. In my expe...
Another speed limit change proposed! This is not the solution with the local scofflaws and people who have no idea what the traffic laws are and what they are intended to do. I have been passed by speeders on Mission rushing from light to light. Now it is unsafe to enter a green light cross street without checking for potential red light runners. Drivers cross double yellow lines on two lane streets to pass and I have even been passed on the right while driving the speed limit. Recently, I was confronted by a woman driving...
As I understand what has transpired at Fallbrook Union High is the teachers signed an MOU. The district abided by it. Then, when the state offered money to the district to open, the teachers found out and wanted a cut of this money. My neighbor is a teacher and she told me that other teachers called the 2.75% bonus “Appreciation money” for all the teachers’ hard work. It just seems funny that “orange” is safe unless stoked by some “appreciation money,” then the teachers can come back in the “red.” Just needed to air thi...
Letter writer Orolie Gubser seems to indicate that the rise in gasoline prices must be the fault of President Biden. The writer, apparently, does not understand how gasoline prices are set. Gasoline is, of course, refined from oil. The price of oil is determined on a world wide market based on supply and demand. Over the past year, there has been a worldwide pandemic which has depressed economies around the world. The demand for oil has been down as a consequence. Economies around the world, including ours, are starting to...
While the national news and late night talk shows are making fun of Temecula City Council again, and specifically Jessica Alexander, over a comment she made, I have to say how impressed I am with the council. After a nearly three-hour meeting where they handled a lot of issues as well as public comments, I was pleased with all the councilmembers as they passionately, yet smartly, debated the issues at hand. While Colbert and others mocked, it was a picture of what representati...
A primary function of the President is to establish the policies of the current administration. In many areas that means simply continuing the policies of the previous administration. But Biden is introducing a bold, far-reaching, even breath-taking, vision for America. You can read about it: See “White House: Fact Sheet: The American Jobs Plan.” Infrastructure (hard and soft), remediation and pro-active climate change efforts, integration of resilience, and more, are provided for. The American Jobs Plan is notable not only f...
As the constitutionally mandated June 15 deadline for passing a balanced budget nears, discussions in Sacramento about spending priorities are ramping up. California is facing a variety of challenges. First of all, we must get the economy up and running again, and we can use our budget surplus to help bring back jobs. Through additional investments in the Small Business Grant Program, and by targeting surplus revenues to reduce unemployment insurance debt for employers, we...
In the 1970s, Old Town Temecula was a rundown, has-been of a town bypassed by Interstate 15. It had started as "the new town of Temecula" in 1882 when the California Southern brought railroad tracks this way. It replaced the Temecula of old at today's Vail Headquarters. The fledgling town grew as businesses developed and homes were built along Pujol and Mercedes streets. By 1885, the Temecula post office that had formerly been in the Wolf Store had a new location on Main...

In an ironic twist, Temecula living trust attorney Paul Hanks survived a harrowing near-death hiking accident and four days in the desert. He said, "I felt death!" He told his story with conviction, fear, pain, excitement and the will to live. He survived five days in Joshua Tree National Park with no water, a prickly pear cactus and a serious head injury. Hanks has hiked most of his adult life. "I like to get remote," he said. "Get out there alone. I chose Joshua Tree to...

Riverside County 5th District Supervisor Jeff Hewitt outlined why he is running for governor today in an op-ed published in several Southern California News Group newspapers. The Libertarian business owner is running to challenge Gov. Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall election. He says as a Libertarian, not a member of either major party, he has "the ability to accept the best ideas of each side and work for consensus and compromise that benefits the state as a whole." Last...

The Bureau of Land Management's wild horse and burro program has been under scrutiny over the last few dozen years, relating to its care of the wild horse population in the western United States. The bureau has taken some criticism from some national wild horse rescue organizations. "It is a situation where we have to do what is the best thing for these horses," Steve Fluery, national director of the BLM horse and burro program, said. "Adoption is absolutely key in helping...
