SAN MARCOS – A haven for nature lovers since its founding in 1970, the Edwin and Frances Hunter Arboretum has existed as a loose patchwork of hiking trails, irrigated with imported domestic water. When the arboretum reopens this fall after six months of renovations, it will feature Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant pathways and a new groundwater well pumping out up to 40 gallons per minute and reducing the college's overall demand for imported water by as much as o...
The quest for the perfect tan can have a person sitting or lying in the sun for hours with very little attire. Afterward, the person is left looking like a lobster, beat red from exposure with the intention that tomorrow the golden brown will settle in. Even with all of today's warnings and information, plenty of people enjoy soaking up the sun's rays. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of adults admit to being sunburned in the past year...

It's a feeling that affects both men and women. You've achieved success at work, with a community organization, or just within your family, and yet you don't feel you've really earned that achievement. You may think that your accomplishments come from luck or good timing rather than any real talent and hard work on your part. You may feel like a fraud, not really capable of the tasks facing you. Having these thoughts is fairly common. They're manifestations of self-doubt and a lack of self-confidence, and there's even a...

Bonsall High School has had athletics since the 2015-16 seasons but did not have a tennis team until this spring when the Legionnaires had enough players for boys tennis competition.

"That was kind of a nice surprise," Bonsall co...

Here we are, once again, in the dog days of summer. For many of us, this means a time to relax and reconnect with our families and friends, maybe travel or take on a new project. I always thought the term referred to the way my two dogs get to spend all their days, relaxing in the sun and simply chilling, waiting for Chris or me to come home and play with them. The term, however, refers to the period when our Sun occupies the same region as Sirius, the brightest star in the...

Supervisor Jim Desmond San Diego County 5th District For the past months, myself along with many North and East County leaders have been reminding those in downtown that there’s more to San Diego than the Urban Core. We’ve been fighting for San Diegans all throughout the County, trying to maintain SANDAG’s promise to the voters. As you know, voters passed a half-cent sales tax in 2004, in exchange for upgrades to and expansion of the I-5, I-8, I-15, SR 52, SR 67, SR 78 and various other freeways. SANDAG has now tried to sh...
California is no stranger to natural and man-made emergencies. The recent quakes in Kern and San Bernardino counties are another reminder that living in the Golden State has a price. The state constitution grants immense power to the governor to deal with emergencies. The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, which began as the State War Council in 1943, coordinates California’s response to emergencies. A formal emergency declaration, which must include a detailed des...
Our country was founded with horses. Pioneers, ranchers and farmers depended on horses for their survival and prosperity. Family and therapy horses also have enriched our lives. We value horses, and we must not allow them to suffer the horrors of slaughter. Every year more than 100,000 healthy horses are purchased at auctions for the foreign horse meat trade. More than 92% are young and healthy, as confirmed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These horses are cruelly shipped thousands of miles across our borders to be...
I was coasting down Main Street Friday, July 5, around midday on my bike past the Angel Shop like I have done a thousand times before. I started a turn into the O’Reilly driveway, and things went bad suddenly. My front tire skidded, and I hit the pavement hard. I was stunned for a moment, but my first reaction was that I was OK. I rolled over and sat up. A couple of men from the parking lot immediately came over to help me. One had paramedic training maybe; he started firing questions. Do you feel dizzy? Have a heart c...
