Music means many things to many people, but for Make Music Temecula founder Joanna Pearl, music is a life affirming way to bring people of all backgrounds together. "Music is love, it is everything to me anyway," Pearl said. "Music shows our feelings. It touches people differently than just talking. Everyone loves music; everyone can come together over it. It's what we need right now." Taking place Sunday, June 21, World Make Music Day is a free celebration of music in more...

Martin Crutsinger AP Economics Writer Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell warned Tuesday, June 16, that the U.S. economy faces a deep downturn with "significant uncertainty" about the timing and strength of a recovery. He cautioned that the longer the recession lasts, the worse the damage that would be inflicted on the job market and businesses. In testimony to Congress, Powell stressed that the Fed is committed to using all its financial tools to cushion the economic...
Jill Colvin, Lisa Mascaro and Zeke Miller The Associated Press Following weeks of national protests since the death of George Floyd, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on policing Tuesday, June 16, that would encourage better police practices and establish a database to keep track of officers with a history of excessive use-of-force complaints. In Rose Garden remarks, Trump stressed the need for higher standards and commiserated with mourning families, even as...
Mark Sherman The Associated Press The Supreme Court ruled Monday, June 15, that a landmark civil rights law protects gay, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination in employment, a resounding victory for LGBT rights from a conservative court.

Late last week, students were able to pick up their diplomas in a drive-through ceremony.

"I'm going to be honest everybody,...
Normally the CIF San Diego Section has a "dead period" in which contact between coaches and student-athletes is not allowed. Because the coronavirus shutdown eliminated team activity, there will not be a no contact period for summer 2020. "I think it was the right thing to do with all of the shutdowns that we've had," said CIF assistant commissioner John Labeta. "There's no reason to have a no contact period this year." In 2002 the CIF implemented a two-week period which prohibits participation or scheduling of organized prac...

North County Fire Protection District firefighters made their way to a hilltop, Thursday, June 11, quickly assembling the department's new Arizona Vortex and preparing to lower firefighter Matt Anderson to perform a technical rope rescue of a victim located down the steep hillside. To those observing, the scenario on private property on Monserate Place appeared to be very real that day, but in reality, it was actually a quarterly training on High Angle Rope Rescue, a high risk...
Mrs. John B. Dodd of Washington State, who first proposed the idea of a Father’s Day in 1909, wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife, Dodd’s mother, died in childbirth with their sixth child. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children alone on a rural farm in eastern Washington State. It was after Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had sho...
Is anyone else sick and tired of all the negative? I am. If you are on social media or watch local or cable news, you are probably feeling like I am, which is “not myself.” I am normally an upbeat person, who finds the good in most situations. I think back to my initial response to the sequester we were being required to participate in. I pointed out all the positive aspects of spending more time with your family, your pets and in your home. The time at home provided an opp...
Dear Ms. Miller, I have a backbone and will stand up to people like you. Oh sure, you want to call me hateful, vile, belligerent, corrupt, a liar and a bully – all your words – because I disagree with you. You don’t know me, and I don’t want to know any more about you. You sure like to poke the bear and when someone stands up to you, you go on the attack just like President Donald Trump and his daily meltdowns. He is the one who bullies and attacks, but then you don’t see that do you? He has not made America great; he has div...

Our country is not perfect, however when we as a culture or a society see something unjust, we work hard to fix it. We did it with slavery, child labor, civil rights and women’s rights to name a few. This is why the whole country was united in the belief that George Floyd’s death was criminal. Everyone who saw that video was horrified. Almost every police officer agreed according to published news reports. After that, people of all ages, races and backgrounds wanted to ris...
Well, thanks for the laugh. I really did appreciate that. I am a 70-year-old black man, and I have not suffered 400 years of anything. All of you guilty white people should realize you are not helping this situation by accepting responsibility for what happened 400 years ago. I am not helpless, weak or discriminated against. I do not see police discrimination as serious of a problem as the gang warfare going on now. We need to arrest the looters, charge the organizers for conspiracy to loot and burn, release America from...
In March, our economy slammed on the brakes and thousands were thrown out of work. Millions filed for unemployment insurance. The Employment Development Department, known as EDD, has processed $26 billion in benefits over 12 weeks, versus $22 billion during the entire recession of 2008. It amounts to 14% of all claims filed nationally. Even so, many unemployed workers have run into problems that have delayed payments for weeks or even months. The deluge of claims overwhelmed...
Dr. James Veltmeyer’s article slamming face masks made me wonder why he chose to politicize the issue, when the American Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons long ago determined the benefits of using face coverings outweigh the risks. Karen Swanson...
