Imagine doing something for the first time, every 5 to 20 years? You would feel like you’d never done that activity ever before. That is what home sellers and buyers experience every time they participate in a real estate transaction. Unless you are an active investor, or you are working with an experienced Realtor, the process of buying or selling feels like you are walking through a maze, with mirrors, trap doors, and dead ends. Even if you have bought or sold within the p...
The Valley League boys lacrosse coaches placed senior defender Ryan Farish on the all-league first team and named sophomore midfielder Johnny Downey to the Valley League second team.

Mount Carmel won the Valley League championship, and the Sundevils' 17-2 overall record includes a loss in the CIF Division II championship game which snapped a 16-game...

As California’s wildfire season looms, threatening once again to break records for destruction, tens of thousands of rural homeowners risk facing the flames without enough insurance to rebuild if their homes burn. Insurers have been taking a hard look at the millions of Californians who live in areas with a very high risk of wildfires, especially in recent years when a series of costly fires incinerated thousands of rural homes. From 2015 through 2019, insurers dropped property coverage for more than 143,000 customers in 1...
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vastly overstated wildfire prevention work completed by his administration, according to a Capital Public Radio investigation released June 23. State fire officials have treated less than 18 of the 140 square miles (50 of the 365 square kilometers) that the Democratic governor has touted, the radio station reported. The land is part of 35 priority projects Newsom designated in 2019 on the heels of the deadliest wildfire season in state...
SAN FRANCISCO – Monday, June 28, California added five more states, including Florida, to the list of places where state-funded travel is banned because they are working to prevent transgender women and girls from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity. “A number of years back, my office is adding five new states to California's state funded travel restriction list, bringing the total very sadly, actually, this is the large number of to 17. So we're adding five new states today. The states are...
FALLBROOK – Designing a home's interior can be fun. Whether furnishing a first apartment or a newly purchased family home, many people feel that the art they put on the walls of their homes is an expression of their individuality, and that a home isn't truly a home until its interior reflects their personalities. Furnishing a home with art can be intimidating, especially for people doing so for the first time. But a few tricks of the trade can help men and women turn the i...
The San Luis Rey Training Center is in the process of installing fire sprinklers in the facility's older barns. The Stronach Group, which owns San Luis Rey, is seeking an extension of the California Horse Racing Board deadline to complete the automatic sprinkler systems and automatic fire alarm systems.

ESCONDIDO – Not only can reusing household items help you save money, it is also good for our environment. But there are times when thrifting is not the best for your health and safety. The following are household items you should never buy second hand: Mattress, pillows, and bedding Used mattresses can be filled with a concoction of nasty germs and bugs that you don’t want to bring into your home. Bed bugs can also spread from there to other areas of the home, like your rugs, clothes, etc. With that picture in mind, you may...

California is now reopening its economy, something I’ve been advocating for months. As a small business owner, I understand the disproportionate impact the pandemic had on small businesses, which make up 95% of all businesses in this region and employ the vast majority of workers. We’re taking a huge step in the right direction, though it’s months too late. Eliminating mandatory shutdowns is only part of the solution. Businesses need help so that they can successfully reope...
Last week there was a letter in the opinion section promoting the benefits of Proposition 19. Unfortunately, there is a very dark side to this proposition that was completely ignored. Prop 19 was one of the most profoundly misrepresented propositions in the history of California elections and a significant erosion to the protections afforded all Californians by Proposition 13. Seriously, the title of Prop 19 was “The Home Protection for Seniors, Severely Disabled, Families, and Victims of Wildfire or Natural Disasters A...
Through no fault but my own, I was unable to get these comments heard at the FUESD Board meeting Monday, June 21. I sent this email to the board members and my hope is that by sending them in as a Letter to the Editor, the comments will be made known to members of the public as well. I am writing this email because I was unable to get to a working computer in time to send a request to speak at the board meeting tonight. I want to add my voice to those who have great concerns about the change in leadership of the elected...
While my ride is nothing more than a hunk of metal and leather, the old girl is still considered stylish. Maybe it’s her collapsible roof that makes her chic? I don’t remember the exact year my car model was introduced, but I believe it was about 10 years after the brand came to the U.S. in 1990. Still recognized for its quality, this nameplate has remained in fashion as the luxury brand for a well-known Japanese automaker. The reason I sold my former two-seater convertible wa...
