As coronavirus cases spike in California’s vast Central Valley, the state will send strike teams and tens of millions of dollars to eight counties to speed up testing, help infected people quarantine and assist overwhelmed health care workers, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday, July 27. The state is aiming for every infected person to transmit the virus to fewer than one other person, but in several Central Valley counties the spread is happening more often, said Dr. Mark Ghaly, head of the California Health and Human Services A...

Here we are, already celebrated July Fourth, with some fireworks, some summer fun and a couple of family and friends fun meals: some in person and some from a distance or even virtual. In any case, I sure hope that you and all of your clan had a chance to enjoy. One of my favorite times of the year is usually summertime, when I can dry my hair outside, making it feel softer than usual. I enjoy washing the dog outside and getting covered with dog hair when the dog shakes some of the water off his body with an extra wiggle at...
Several employees in the Capitol and two Assembly members tested positive for COVID-19 in June which stopped our work in its tracks. This week marks the start of a short, final month for the 2019-2020 session. Public safety is a priority, and I am very proud to join Assembly members Cooper, Bonta and Gonzalez to co-write Assembly Bill 664. The March 4 state of emergency declaration requires all peace officers, firefighters and health care workers to remain on the job – for our protection. Since this order places them at h...
The pandemic has made a shambles not only of California’s economy but of the entire world’s economy. It looks bad and it is bad, not only for the state of our economy but our emotional state as well. But most people will get through this time, eventually – battered, but not beaten. Nothing can undo the personal losses we’ve suffered, but there are financial resources to get our economies back on their feet, if we choose to use them. For America, the impetus comes from the “Patriotic Millionaires.” The group first came togeth...
On the San Diego County News Center website, Wednesday, July 22, it was noted: 587 COVID-19 cases were reported July 21, the third highest one-day total. To date, 25,107 cases have been reported in San Diego County. Throughout the pandemic, San Diegans over 50 years of age have been hit hardest by COVID-19. While people in this demographic represent only 31% of the more than 25,000 cases, they account for nearly 96% of the deaths. Today, more deaths are being reported in the general population. Of the 505 COVID-19 deaths,...
We, the people, elected Hillary R. Clinton as president of the United States of America Nov. 8, 2016, by 2,868,686 votes. I continue to have hope for our country and the world because we, the people, knew better in 2016. The addition of the national news to our local paper started in 2019 with the hopes of the publisher to get President Donald Trump reelected. It’s convenient to have your own weekly. At least own your position instead of hiding by the pretense of being something different. One just needs to read the l...
Mr. Terrell keeps trying to defend “Obamacare,” aka Affordable Care Act, which is a misnomer. He said the Republicans “have nothing to replace it.” Yes, they do; it’s called capitalism. Anyone who’s been paying attention, knows “Obamacare” is the first important step to socialism; control the people’s money, which is one-fifth of the economy, and health care. Registered Republican? There’s no heart for you. You get no choice of providers or appointment dates. “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” “If you like...
This week I listened to an interview on Public Broadcasting Service with Jason Stanley, a professor of philosophy at Yale and author of the book “How Fascism Works.” He defined fascism as an ideology based on power, loyalty and “fear of the other” where the other is defined ethnically, or by nationality or religion, and the leader represents “us.” His position was that we are in danger of fascism by President Donald Trump. It was his assertion that the entire reason Depa...
California’s governor suspended the rights of property owners to receive rents for the use of their property, a violation of the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution and a violation of the state of California Constitution – property rights. This action took place in February. Many tenants discontinued paying their rent even if they could afford it given that it was announced by the governor that they didn’t have to pay. The governor also took it upon himself to suspend unlawful detainers and foreclosures until 90 days after...
FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Village Rotarians and the Miss/Teen Fallbrook Scholarship recipients trimmed the plants, swept the patio and washed down the Vince Ross Village Square, June 18. According to Vince Ross, "It was kind of like a tornado or a whirlwind that arrived at 9 a.m. and didn't leave until the job was complete. No dilly-dalliers in that group." While wearing their face masks during the warm, Saturday morning, Rotarians worked using the tools provided by Fallbrook V...
It was decidedly not the way Shaunna and Dave Jengo had planned to spend their Saturday morning. The De Luz residents had spent the morning of July 11 driving through the area to find places for Dave to fly his drone, something the pair say they do often. It was at first a typical, uneventful Saturday adventure. They found an area off Avenida Tierra, on the Riverside County side of De Luz, where they stopped so Dave Jengo could fly his drone for what Shaunna estimated was "abo...
We must get our kids back in school. I know for some that can be a frightening statement, but throughout this pandemic, I’ve made my decisions and opinions based on science and data. Over the last month, I’ve had conversations with doctors, data experts and researchers about COVID-19 and one of the most consistent messages has been, we need our young people back in the classroom. While there are still many questions regarding COVID-19, we do know that young people rarely suf...

SAN DIEGO COUNTY – Water agency customers in several San Diego County communities have received scam phone calls this week demanding immediate payment of water bills by credit card or their water will be turned off. Don’t be fooled. Hang up. Public water agencies in San Diego County do not make phone threats for immediate credit card payment. In fact, water agencies statewide are prohibited from disconnecting service to water customers during the coronavirus pandemic per an executive order issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom, April 2...

The antonym of success is failure. Everyone defines what “success” looks like individually. For some people, it’s the number of zeros in their bank account. For some people, it’s the title they achieve in their care...
During the Monday, July 27, Fallbrook Union High School District special board meeting, the board of trustees voted 4-0 to renew the district's contract with Apex for the upcoming school year. Trustee Lee De Meo was unable to attend the meeting and did not vote on the issue. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the mandate from Gov. Gavin Newsom for districts to begin the school year with distance learning, the district has expanded its license from the 250-student license it...

Rachel Mason, executive director of FRHD, prepared a list of goals, which was modified with input from board members. “My strategy in identifying these goals essentially had to do with thinking of our priorities as we outlined them from previous conversations, strategic planning and the budget process,” Mason said. Included among goals adopted for Mason are to finish Phase One dev...
