Fallbrook High School's tennis team won all 10 Valley League matches during the 2020-21 season, giving the Warriors the league championship. "It's kind of cool to think that we might go down as the only co-ed league champions ever," said Fallbrook coach Bill Lenaway. The coronavirus shutdown delayed the start of CIF sports until February. Girls tennis is normally a fall sport and boys tennis is normally a spring sport. Boys and girls tennis were combined for the 2020-21 season including mixed doubles sets for the first time...
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – As of press time, Tuesday, May 18, Palestinian Hamas militants in Gaza have fired more than 3,400 rockets into Israel since May 10. Israel's Iron Dome defense system, a short-range air-defense system designed to intercept rockets, artillery, and mortars, helped reduce casualties from rocket attacks against the Israeli cities, but not 100 percent. There were casualties. In retaliation, Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes targeting Hamas' militant i...
SAN DIEGO – The National Conflict Resolution Center and University of California San Diego have jointly launched the nation’s first-ever center for research on civility. The Applied Research Center for Civility at UC San Diego, which officially opened on May 1, draws from NCRC’s groundbreaking work in this area to conduct cutting-edge research into the dynamics of society’s most pressing issues, including racial injustice and mass incarceration, workplace harassment, and freedom of expression on college campuses. “Hatred...
Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, who was recently relieved as a U.S. Space Force commanding officer, said he condemns "all forms of extremism" and defended against allegations that he was "politically partisan" when he denounced the spread of Marxism in the military. Lohmeier last week was relieved of command of the 11th Space Warning Squadron over "public comments" in an interview the department deemed to be "partisan political activity." The comment, which was made in a podcast,...
SAN DIEGO – San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten was confirmed Tuesday, May 11, as the nation's next deputy education secretary. The U.S. Senate voted 54-44 to confirm Marten, who was nominated for the post earlier this year by the Biden administration. Once Marten is sworn into office, she will assume the federal post after more than three decades as an educator in San Diego, including eight years as superintendent of SDUSD. “My message to students has always been, ‘Work hard. Be kind. Dream big,'...
For the last 14 months, like many around the country, the Board of Supervisors has held their meetings on Zoom. Prior to COVID-19, like many, I’d never heard of Zoom; now I wonder how did we ever function without it? At the time of writing this, over 87% of the population in San Diego has received at least one dose of the vaccine and over 64% are fully vaccinated. The County is expanding its vaccine efforts making it easier for businesses and community organizations to host m...
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-50) introduced the TRICARE Retiree Protection Act to defend healthcare coverage for military retirees that may otherwise lose access due to policy changes that took effect Jan. 1. “When it comes to our veterans, promises made must be promises kept. The TRICARE Retiree Protection Act is common-sense reform to extend a transition period so military retirees don’t lose health care coverage for themselves and their families,” Issa said. “I am proud to work with Senators Daines and M...
Looking back, some of my happiest years were living on a farm just six miles west of town. Every day during the school year, a yellow county bus stopped at the end of my gravel drive. Weather be damned, especially during Kansas winters, each round trip became a bodacious endurance test of self-preservation. Monday through Friday, the bus rumbled to a halt just inches in front of me. As the accordion doors screeched open and the tires skidded to a rolling stop, passengers had t...
I doubt that many people have read the "American Jobs Plan" put out by the White House. John H. Terrell has, and he is enthralled with it, writing a glowing review of this lengthy list of promises and platitudes. Here are some of the impressions that Mr. Terrell came away with: It is breath-taking, bold, and far-reaching. He is sure that Biden will provide "a large number of jobs over a wide range of professions and economic levels from trainee to seasoned CEO." This plan is "notable not only for its breadth, but also its...
Moving day actually begins well before the actual day the moving truck shows up. If you’re a seller, you’ve probably begun the activity of purging things the moment you started thinking about selling your home. If you didn’t, the process of packing up a home after living there for five years or more will be daunting. We find that no matter how large a home is, people seem to find a way to fill up all the storage places within the home. This is evidenced by the many vehic...
Why are parents battling school boards across the country over Critical Race Theory? Why did President Trump ban it from government agencies, only to have President Biden reverse the decision? Biden’s administration is pushing full steam ahead with what many see as divisive and damaging curricula on race in the classroom through a proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Education. The rule’s consequences would be more than academic. It would infuse critical race theory int...
Writer Mike Reardon tries to criticize Orolie Gubser’s excellent letter with Democrat (Marxist) logic of 2+2=5. The writer evidently doesn’t understand how politics work. You take money from those who won’t vote for you, and give it to those who will. Warren Buffet owns a railroad that delivers oil to the refineries. Being a major buddy of Obama, Barack kept the pipeline closed for eight years to Warren’s benefit. Magically, gas prices stayed sky high for years. President Trump opened the pipeline making the U.S. independent...
COVID-19 has had a disproportionately severe impact on California’s low income, African American, Latino and Pacific Islander communities, as well as on essential workers such as those in the healthcare, grocery and cleaning service industries. That’s why I am proud to support Assembly Bill 1038 introduced by Assemblyman Mike Gipson (D – Carson). The bill establishes the California Health Equity Program within the Department of Public Health to provide grants supporting local...

San Diego County Water Authority officials said the region has sufficient supplies to meet the needs of the region through 2045 – even through multiple dry years. On May 10, Gov. Gavin Newsom expanded a drought emergency declaration from Sonoma and Mendocino counties to 41 counties in northern and central California. “Governor Newsom's latest drought emergency declaration is a grim reminder of the growing water supply challenges across California – and of the value of three decades of our collective dedication to use water ef...

The San Clemente City Council will consider declaring itself a sanctuary city in support of the Second Amendment during its May 18 meeting. An agenda item calls on San Clemente council to adopt a non-binding resolution that seeks to “recognize the Second Amendment as a right endowed by our creator,” Councilmember Gene James, who authored the item, told The Epoch Times. The resolution would be mostly symbolic if passed, but would show support for the constitutional right to keep and bear firearms, which James said is cur...

The tie breaking criteria for the league championship if two teams have identical league and head-to-head records is sets won in head-to-head competition, and Horizon Prep had the better statistic in that tiebreaker to give the Lions the league championship. "It is what it is. Wins are great but, especially in this year, just seeing the kids out there laughing and smiling...
