StenErik Rolfo and his wife, Kay Gallen-Kallela, moved from Sweden to Fallbrook in 2013. While Gallen-Kallela, a horse trainer and riding instructor, brought her love of horses with her in the form of two Swedish warmbloods, Rolfo brought his skills of building with stones. Also a carpenter, Rolfo has spent much time building 100 yards of stone walls on their property in the Rock Mountain area east of De Luz.

My first summer job while in college was selling dictionaries door-to-door in New Orleans. Wow, did I learn a lot that summer, especially about rejection. I soon discovered that no matter how good a salesman I was, the majority of the times I knocked on a door, the response would be a quick, and sometimes angry, rejection. I also observed that the team members who had never felt the sting of failure or rejection were the first to quit and head home. Rejection is often rooted...

SAN DIEGO - Resetting clocks this weekend for the start of daylight saving time also provides a good opportunity to recheck or change the batteries in home smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, according to Cal Fire officials. "Studies have shown that most homes have smoke alarms,'' a Cal Fire statement said, but "nearly two-thirds of home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms.'' Officials say having a working smoke alarm increases the chance of surviving a home fire by 50 percent. The time change officially...

Many of you know that I challenged the San Diego Registrar of Voters in a San Diego court after the 2016 Presidential Primary Election between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. I did so because it came to my attention that after election night, voters are misled by the “projected winners” reports and “100 percent precincts reporting” notations. The reality is that 50 percent or less of all the ballots cast are received and tallied by the time voters hear those reports and read those notations. As more voters elect to vote...

I have a vested interest in Proposition 13. As a homeowner, I have been a beneficiary of it since its inception and, at age 86, hope to continue to be so. As such, I share the concerns of the author of the subject letter; however, there are two changes that should be made: first, commercial property should be excluded and second, when Proposition 13 property is transferred by inheritance, it should retain Proposition 13 status only if it continues to be a personal residence. I’d like to expand on the subject letter’s ref...
