The high school has 360 students on their campus north of San Marcos. “These are credits and grades that will stay with them,” Liz LaBlond, a full-time high school teacher in Bonsall and adjunct professor at Palomar College, said. “This is really powerful for the students and really helpful for the schools. It’s a win-win for everybody...
The Bonsall Unified School Board did not take action on a May 8 agenda item to lay off two bus drivers and eliminate the position, so bus service will continue from the Pala and Bonsall West areas. “Those routes will remain for the 2019-2020 school year,” BUSD superintendent David Jones said. The school district needed 127 bus pass commitments to make the bus routes financially feasible. “What was on the agenda was a resolution to lay off two bus drivers,” Jones said. The bus drivers work five hours each school day for 10...

We are at a crucial point in the future of San Diego County. There seems to be a growing trend of pushing people out of their cars and making them take public transportation, as if driving vehicles is somehow evil. The San Diego Association of Governments is in charge of appropriating transportation dollars in our region. It’s made up of the region’s 18 cities and the county. In 2004, San Diegans voted to extend a half-cent sales tax for 40 years. That tax would generate $14 billion, which SANDAG promised to use to rel...
Gov. Gavin Newsom just released his “May Revise,” which updates the preliminary budget he released in January to serve as a discussion starter leading up to the legislative deadline for final budget approval, June 15. There’s a lot to like in the governor’s $214 billion budget proposal. First of all, raising the child tax credit to help families cope with our skyrocketing cost of living deserves support. And with California’s population expected to expand to 50 million b...

You have to hand it to trees. After five years of continual abuse and neglect, thanks to an occasional timely rain, the two liquid amber trees on Alvarado Street were still standing upright, majestic, healthy and proud. But in the end, they met their forecast doom and ending. They evidently did not fit into the long-term plans of the Mission Resource Conservation District, being of non-native origin. Another immigrant thing. As a neighboring property owner, I can tell you that they will be sorely missed. Robert Sommers...
The author of the letter I’m rebutting calls Medicare for All “socialized medicine;” it’s not. Conservatives tend to describe anything liberal as “socialist” in the Marxian sense. Actually, socialism refers to an economy where “the means of production, distribution and exchange are owned or regulated by the community as a whole.” I fail to see how that applies to a single-payer health system operated by the government, which is what Medicare for All is all about. As I stated previously, former President Barack Obama’s...
Tuesday afternoon, I popped into Joe’s Hardware to pick up a few items. Upon returning to my truck, I noticed a puddle underneath and got down on my back to investigate. At this point, my wallet fell out of my pocket. I noticed that it was missing about an hour later. I retraced my steps, asked around and tore my truck inside out. Nothing. I did the unspeakable. I lost my wallet. After this fact sunk in, I was about to call the bank and have them send me a new credit card when a little voice inside my head said, “Whoa, slo...
What a wonderful start to my Mother’s Day weekend – seeing a classic move, “I Remember Mama,” starring Irene Dunne at our own historic movie theater here in Fallbrook.

The Mission Theater is a real gem and is so charming. It brings its patrons back to a bygone era – not to be missed. Look at the marquee for future events at this bea...
