It’s heating up. Days are long. School’s out. Vacations take front and center stage. So, what happens in real estate? Historically in Fallbrook, our market slows down during July, August and part of September. I’ll bet you’re surprised by that fact. Many of us grew up in geographic areas where the prime time to move was the summer. It might have been too cold or rainy before June, or the children were in school. Summer, for much of the country is the time to buy and sell real...

Lt. Ricardo Lopez, the new commander of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department Fallbrook substation, plans to be visible in the community. That wasn't the game plan the last time he worked Fallbrook.

Lopez, a 47-year-old native of San...
The San Diego County Water Authority adopted its rates and charges for 2019. The June 28 SDCWA board action also allocated the pro-rata shares of total fixed charges to each CWA member agency. The new rates and charges will increase the CWA member agency purchase cost per acre-foot on a countywide basis from $1,303 to $1,341 for untreated water and from $1,603 to $1,617 for treated water, which equates to increases of 2.9 percent for untreated supply and 0.9 percent for treated water. The CWA’s rates are based on a melded rat...
BONSALL – Save the Downs, a 501c3 nonprofit formed in 2014, filed papers of dissolution effective June 25, 2018. The original purpose of Save the Downs was twofold – first, to to stop the development of a wetlands mitigation bank on the property that would have included a chain link fence around the property, preventing public access and enjoyment of the property; and secondly, to make every effort to keep the San Luis Rey Golf Resort open to the public. Unfortunately, the...
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has the authority to approve or deny a specific plan, general plan amendment, rezone, and tentative map for the proposed Newland Sierra development, but the county's Planning Commission recommended that the project be approved. A 6-1 Planning Commission vote June 28, with Michael Beck opposed, recommended approval of the project which is considered the successor to the Stonegate Merriam Mountains proposal rejected by the Board of Supervisors in 2010. The Merriam Mountains proposal...

We have the electoral college in place to keep California and New York from deciding every election. After eight horrific dismal years under Obama, we are finally creating real jobs, not minimum wage part-time jobs. Our GDP is rising, businesses are hiring and expanding. Manufacturing is coming back to the US. Taxes are being cut for the middle class and we are getting rid of, "if you like your health plan, you can keep it". My HMO plan for two is almost $1500 a month so the savings lie we were told is just that, a big fat li...

AB 1983 improves school safety by requiring school districts and local law enforcement to collaborate on safety threat assessments of school...
The weekend of Father’s Day, 2018, I was unfortunate to experience a bee sting that sent me into anaphylactic shock. This was a new experience for me in that I had been stung a week earlier and nothing other than localized redness happened. This time, my scalp itched quite a bit and I developed hives on the upper part of my body. I did not feel ill, but made the mistake of going to one of our local urgent care clinics. Anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening event. In my instance, the urgent care clinic I went to was s...
A small but vocal religious group has restated certain of its religious beliefs as political positions. This letter criticizes one of those political positions. There are politico-religious leaders who decry America’s purported “moral decay” and call for instituting “God’s law.” For instance, Mike Huckabee, ordained Baptist minister and Republican presidential hopeful in 2008, said: “...that’s what we need to do – to amend the Constitution, so it’s in God’s standards.” Presumably, he meant Mosaic law, which the Bible said was...
