Do not get me wrong, there are many parts of the all-encompassing technology apps that truly make me uncomfortable. And if I really considered the overriding exposure to any data transmitted via the cloud, I would be opposed to all of it. However, given the current California “stay at home” mandate, everyone has had to adapt, and adapt we have. Normally, this time of year, I am in Sacramento for the California Association of Realtors legislative meetings. Association mem...
As the coronavirus pandemic drags on, local school districts are increasingly turning to virtual graduations to honor seniors who won't be able to receive their diplomas in person due to orders banning public gatherings. When public health orders forced schools to close in March, many districts did not commit one way or the other on when and how graduations would take place. Some districts are still weighing the decision, but as of the beginning of May, many have come to the...
Online learning for math, science, social studies and language arts can duplicate the lessons from in-class learning along with homework, so teachers can give students grades close to what they would be if the students were based in the classroom. Grades for Bonsall High School physical education classes are determined somewhat differently, and assignments differ considerably than would be the case for classes based on fields or in gymnasiums. Physical education involves components other than exercise so Eric Hendy, who is...

WASHINGTON – More than three in four Realtors currently working with sellers this week – 76% – reported their clients haven’t reduced listing prices to attract buyers, according to a new survey from the National Association of Realtors. That’s up from 74% who said the same a week ago. “Nearly 70% of Americans have secure employment and those interested in purchasing homes are looking at the enticing mortgage rates,” Lawrence Yun, chief economist for NAR, said. “One in five potential buyers have dropped out of the market due...
FALLBROOK – Some North County residents are having cabin fever already – feeling irritated and trying their best to prevent going stir-crazy during the extended spring break quarantine at home. Getting cozy and creating a feeling of warmth and intimacy at home is the key to helping them manage that emotion. Take it from the Danes and their hygge way of life. Hygge means "to give courage, comfort, joy," "a form of everyday togetherness" and "a pleasant and highly valued eve...
Gov. Gavin Newsom recently announced creation of the first-in-the-nation “Great Plates Delivered program,” which will partner with cities, counties and tribes to deliver food to older adults. The program will provide nutritious meals to older Californians who should stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic. By partnering with local restaurants struggling to stay afloat, the program keeps restaurant workers employed, and seniors stay safe at home without risking their health at...
To Ms. Silvestro and Mr. Terrell, I have a request for you. Would you please give us a brief outline showing us what you would have done differently in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic if you were the President? Here's the scenario: You, as President, are told that there is a new, unknown disease/virus that is not supposed to spread from human to human but, lo and behold, it does and it is here. You have no idea what this disease was designed to do and how deadly it could be or how quickly it will spread. As you are...
And there it is. A page right out of Saul Alinsky’s hand book “Rules for Radicals.” Do an internet search to see how the left uses these tactics to take down their enemies. My point that some ignored to attack me is take responsibility for yourself. Mr. Walker’s letter is full of misinformation and fake news. His personal attacks on me are right out of the “Rule Book for Radicals.” I pay almost $10,000 a year in health insurance for a basic HMO policy with $55 copay, $1000 deductible and maximum out of pocket is $7,550 just...
I would like to make a few observations concerning our community of greater Fallbrook. The past few weeks have been a hardship on many living in our area. We naturally wish to thank all the first responders, our care givers, and all those that are working as hard as they can to get us back to normalcy. This has been the most intense event in most of the lives of the people in our community. We like to call Fallbrook the “Friendly village,” but that moniker is only as good as the reality of the situation. I must confess that I...
Fallbrook's ZIP code just took the title from yesterday No. 1 ZIP code: 92056. Today (Saturday, the second of May), Oceanside Boulevard can no longer claim the title of "San Diego County's Healthiest ZIP code." Out of 73 ZIP codes, according to the San Diego HHSA, Fallbrook hung on to its statistic of just 13 confirmed coronavirus cases, while the Ivy Ranch/Tri-City and across the 78 at College ZIP code gains (I mean lost) one more resident counted among the confirmed cases; 92056 now has 15 cases, boosting its CV/HT (confirm...

Last week, my office received word that Gov. Gavin Newsom would be closing down beaches throughout California. While he ultimately caved to the pressure of the people, the governor is governing with temper tantrums, fear and retractions. I’m glad how it turned out, leaving San Diego beaches open, but it was unfortunate. Below is the letter I sent to his office, before the announcement: “The announcement that the state of California will be shutting down all beaches is an ext...
Eric Tucker and Amanda Seitz The Associated Press A bitterly partisan debate unfolding on whether more Americans should cast their votes through the mail during a pandemic is provoking online disinformation and conspiracy theories that could undermine trust in the results, even if there are no major problems. With social distancing guidelines possibly curtailing in-person voting at the polls in November, states are drawing up plans to rely more heavily on a mail-in system...
Lisa Mascaro AP Congressional Correspondent House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pressed ahead Tuesday, May 5, with the next coronavirus aid, a sweeping $800 billion-plus package that is expected to be unveiled soon even as the House stays closed while the Senate reopens in the pandemic. Key to any plan to reopen the economy, Democrats said, is robust testing. They are also expected to propose another round of direct cash aid for anxious Americans, funds for states to prevent layoffs...
Mary Clare Jalonick and Eric Tucker The Associated Press Rep. John Ratcliffe, President Donald Trump's nominee for director of national intelligence, pledged at his confirmation hearing Tuesday, May 5, to deliver intelligence free of bias or political influence, even as Democrats repeatedly pressed the Texas Republican on whether he could stand up to the president and defend the agencies he would oversee. The comments from Ratcliffe were aimed at quelling concerns that the Tru...
Martin Crutsinger AP Economics Writer The U.S. service sector shrank for the first time in a decade in April as the pandemic forced shutdowns and layoffs nationwide. The Institute for Supply Management said Tuesday that its service-sector index fell to 41.8 in April, compared with a March reading of 52.5. Any reading below 50 signals that the service sector, where the majority of Americans work, is in a contraction. It was the first time the services index has been in...
City News Service Special to Valley News Though traffic volume may be down in Riverside County and elsewhere due to the coronavirus crisis, it still pays to ride safely and responsibly when bicycling, California Highway Patrol officials said Friday, May 1, recognizing the start of National Bicycle Safety Month. “In this uncertain time, more people are out on the streets biking for exercise, recreation, mental health and affordable transportation,” Warren Stanley, commissioner of CHP, said. “Bicyclists, pedestrians and motor...
A rollover crash in Fallbrook Friday night, May 1, sent two people to a hospital, but neither had serious injuries, a fire official said Saturday. The crash was reported at 10:22 p.m. Friday on southbound Mission Road just south of Mission Oaks Road, according to North County Fire Department Capt. John Choi. The driver of a sedan apparently lost control of the vehicle and rolled several times before striking a tree Choi said. The driver and one passenger, both described as being young adults in their late teens, were the...
San Diego County meets four out the five criteria to begin reopening businesses, according to a press release issued by county officials Thursday, April 30, but along with the good news, came some bad as the county announced despite meeting the criteria, it would extend the stay-at-home order indefinitely, citing the need for guidance from the state before lifting the order. According to the press release written by San Diego County communications officer José A. Álvarez, the...
Darryl Charles wasn't sure if the program offered by Homes for Our Troops was for him. "I guess in the beginning I was being stubborn," Charles said in a phone interview. "I thought it was a great organization, but I didn't think I would be suitable for it. I felt that there were others who would benefit more from receiving one of these homes." It wasn't until a friend, another recipient of one of the specially adapted custom Homes for Our Troops homes, convinced him otherwise...
A non-voting information item presented during the April 28 North County Fire Protection District board meeting addressed overtime pay expenditures for the fiscal year’s third quarter which began Jan. 1 and ended March 31. The report indicated that sick leave for the quarter was 28% higher than the sick leave for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018-2019. During the three-month period, NCFPD employees took 1,048.5 hours of sick leave. NCFPD fire chief Steve Abbott said he doubted that the additional sick leave was caused b...
