A well-maintained property with all of the bells and whistles that today's buyers demand figures to attract many offers, and buyers who have found their dream homes must be prepared to make an offer that sellers can't refuse. Standing out in a sea of other potential home buyers is not always so easy, but there are steps buyers can take to ensure their offer is the one sellers ultimately accept.

While dysgraphia is mostly associated with impaired handwriting, it also can involve an inability to store and process written words and then elicit the proper finger...
Leo Castaneda Joe Yerardi inewsource San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) provides power to millions of customers throughout Southern California.

Fallbrook Golf Club owner Jack Lamberson has been served with a notice of default from Chicago Title Company, the trustee for Ronald Richards' D-Day Capital, LLC. A notice of default, the first step in the foreclosure process, is a notification given to a borrower stating that he or she has not made their payments by the predetermined deadline. It dictates that if the money owed (and sometimes additional legal fees) is not paid in a given time, the lender may choose to take possession of the borrower's property. Richards, an...
SAN DIEGO – A jump in homicides, auto thefts and burglaries between January and June led in part to a 4 percent increase in San Diego County’s crime rate compared with statistics from the same period in 2015, according to a study released by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Compared with 2015 mid-year statistics, the property crime rate in San Diego County was up 4 percent and the violent crime rate rose by 1 percent, according to SANDAG.

With schools back in session, some parents may be looking for tips on filling their children's lunch boxes, but students aren't the only ones who take lunch with them when they leave home in the morning. I have been making my own lunch since I started first grade (that's what happens when you are the sixth of 10 kids and Mom gets tired of making lunches). My lunches weren't very healthy back then (sandwich, chips and cookies), and pre-packaged lunch items later on weren't much...

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has sole authority to set the rates Californians pay utility companies for electricity. Those utilities are operated as for-profit corporations. CPUC is responsible for attempting to strike a balance between the corporate goal of maximizing return on stockholder investment and the customer desire for lowest cost. Well, the votes are in and the corporations are winning by a large margin. California has one of the highest electricity rates in the nation, at 17.74 cents per...
This week we were notified by concerned parents that a nine-year-old boy walked into the boys' bathroom at his Clovis Unified School District elementary school [school name omitted for privacy reasons] and upon entering found a girl squatting/hovering over the urinal. This young boy was both disturbed and confused. Why was a girl in the boys' bathroom? Why was she using a urinal? Why was a biological girl exposing herself to a boy in this intimate facility? We ask ourselves the same questions. A group of parents in Clovis...
FPUD billing has much lower rates than what I am paying. For my standby locked meter, FPUD's rates are about 70 percent lower; for the 3/4 inch meter, turned on, they're about 50 percent lower than our Rainbow customer rates as charged now. I was told that "RWMD customers 'own' a larger section of the water system than those in FPUD," and also RMWD has "a bit higher" pricing. I still would like to vote for my owned share to go to FPUD for their lower rates, if we could change to FPUD for water service. But are we locked in...
When I was elected to the Assembly in 2012, I was the 136th woman to ever have served in California's Legislature. Women first received the right to vote in California in 1911, and in 1918 Esto Broughton, Grace Dorris, Elizabeth Hughes and Anna Saylor became the first women elected to the State Assembly. Since then, 147 women have been elected to serve in the Legislature, though no woman was elected to the State Senate until 1976. Today, women serve at all levels of leadership, including Minority Floor Leader, a position to...
It was no doubt an unfair question to ask Carli Lloyd to single out just one highlight from her recent trip to Rio, where she proudly represented her family, her hometown of Bonsall, Fallbrook High School (class of 2007), and her country as a member of the U.S. women's indoor volleyball team that earned a bronze medal. "There was not just one moment," said Lloyd. "There are a few things that really stand out. I had a great experience, and it was definitely an overwhelming...
Ingrid Lobet inewsource More than half the land in San Diego County – including neighborhoods reaching almost to the ocean and densely settled foothill cities – is at high or very high potential for difficult-to-control fire. The data is gleaned from maps prepared by the U.S. Forest Service. Even for a region steeped in the ways of defensible space and brush clearance, the map is sobering. Almost a quarter of all terrain in the county falls into the highest hazard pot...
