My name is Liam Voges. I’m 15 years old and live in Sycamore Ranch in Fallbrook. I was homeschooled through various co-ops, online classes, and homeschool charters until I entered high school at the Classical Academy in Escondido in 2017. I have had an excellent education so far. This November, a high school bond measure will be on the ballot to build another Bonsall high school adjacent to our neighborhood in Sycamore Ranch. Personally I think this idea is absurd. Traffic around where I live is already pretty heavy, and t...
According to Leisa Tilley-Grajek, as many as 30 percent of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome or Traumatic Brain Injury. Worse, Tilley-Grajek said, an average of 22 veterans commit suicide each day in the United States. Her lifelong love of German Shepherds – she likes to say she "was born into a pack" – and her hobby as a breeder of the animals led her to form the veteran-supporting K9 Guardians a little more than four yea...

SAN DIEGO – It's got a new name, a new location and there's more on the menu. The county's Department of Environmental Health has created a new mobile website, www.SDFoodInfo.org, which gives people a quick, easy way to find and get information about thousands of restaurants, food trucks and markets across the county. The site will let people see three years' worth of health inspection results for restaurants, and it will show a map of the restaurants near them, draw street d...
SACRAMENTO – Gov. Jerry Brown, at the urging of Sen. Joel Anderson, R-Alpine, vetoed Assembly Bill 2152, Sept. 14. The bill would have required the California Department of Social Services to create a definition of “food insecurity” for counties to use to determine if an able-bodied adult without dependents is “unfit for work” and therefore exempt from work requirements to continue receiving CalFresh benefits. Current federal law is that able-bodied adults without dependents can only receive up to three months of CalFresh...
SAN DIEGO – San Diego Gas & Electric customers will soon see a reduction in their bill. The bill reductions will begin in October as the Settlement Agreement for the closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station takes effect following approval by the California Public Utilities Commission. Originally set to begin in November, SDG&E sought CPUC approval to accelerate the reductions one month sooner to provide bill relief for customers. “We’re happy to reach the final chapter in the SONGS settlement and provide these...
Dacy Denton won the Sept. 15 children's fishing derby which is part of Oceanside Harbor Days. The lifelong Fallbrook resident, who is now 13 and in eighth grade at Sullivan Middle School, won the children's fishing derby for the fourth time. Because the children's fishing derby is for children 13 and under, the event was also her last as a competitor. "I definitely went out with a bang," Denton said. First place is based on the largest catch, and if a tiebreaker for second...

BUSD is warning of an impending enrollment crisis at Bonsall High School (BHS) and claims that the increasing student population necessitates building a new campus. That rationale was the basis for the bond attempt Measure DD in 2016. It is also stated at the beginning of Measure EE and is the basis of the superintendent’s argument in his recent letter sent to all BUSD residents, in which he claims the new housing developments within BUSD will add 110 new students to BHS by 2021/22. Really? Let’s take a look. At the Aug...
I got such a chuckle out of Mr. Conrad’s description of our Fallbrook Library – he is spot-on! Back in the day it was a quiet place. In 2009-10, when the current facility was beginning to be built, the artists selected to participate in the special installations so unique to this space were gathered together and had a charge from the San Diego County Library director, the dynamic Jose Aponte. He said that the contemporary library doesn’t have the “shhh” atmosphere that we grew up using. He went on to explain that today the...
California is the world’s fifth largest economy, but when our cost of living is considered, we have the nation’s highest poverty rate and some of the nation’s highest taxes and most stringent regulations. We are also considered one of least business-friendly states. For many working men and women, the "Golden State" has lost its luster. My husband and I have owned our own business in Escondido for 24 years. The problems we encountered running that business were some of the p...
Okay here we go again! No one in their right mind reads the Washington Post, The New York Times, LA Times, or any other Fake News newspaper. So anything anyone quotes from them is probably fake, false or biased. But, since someone is quoting from the Washington Post July 18, 2012, here are Mr. Obama's exact words and I quote: "If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that...
Tired of the bickering and games by the two major political parties? Stop giving them money and stop voting for their candidates. There are better choices. No, it's not just the other party. Randy Hartman...
