But when it comes to health care, it’s important to keep the budget and well-being in mind.

This is in response to J. Schembri’s letter entitled, “How to take the schools back.” Mr. Schembri: I’m not exactly sure what you mean by that; however, you presented several proposals, so I will address those. First of all, if you or anyone wants to know what goes on in the classroom, you can make arrangements to visit. This is standard policy with most schools and certainly our local ones. You will have to provide information to ensure security along with arranging appropriate and convenient notice for all parties. Do some...
When I first heard a couple of years ago about Fallbrook and Rainbow separating from the San Diego County Water Authority and the more recent push back from the SDCWA, I thought “why are the big boys worried about our small communities trying to control our own destiny?” There has got to be more to this – and there is. For them it’s about forcing us to pay more than our share for water in order for the larger cities to get their expensive projects paid for, projects from which we will never see any benefit. Our Fallbro...

Some beaches were closed...

We wonder to...
Julie Reeder Publisher Israel was ruthlessly attacked Saturday morning with a barrage of thousands of rockets/bombs. Remember, Israel is only twice the size of San Diego County. It is almost exactly the size of Riverside County, surrounded by enemies who are the worst level of racists and terrorists with the goal of murdering all the Jewish people. This is despite Israel welcoming all races into their communities. Imagine having a bomb shelter under your home or business because so often terrorists would launch bombs from...
This will be a 2-3 part article dealing with the interrelationship of the subjects in the title line. All of these factors contribute to the high price of housing and yet puzzling, despite mortgage interest rates having reached 22 year highs, buyer demand for home purchases is still remarkably strong. Let’s address the subject of inflation first; what it is and what causes it. Inflation is the general rise in the prices of goods and services over time, which erodes the p...
When Putin's armored brigades first rolled into the Donbas Region of eastern Ukraine in February 2022, most Americans believed supporting the Ukrainians was a noble cause. That was before we learned about Biden's behind-the-scenes shenanigans. Nineteen months later, as the war grinds on, even Ukrainians wonder if this conflict will ever end. As the country suffers from Putin's unrelenting aerial strikes and tens of thousands of Ukrainians are now homeless, Zelinski insists on staying the course, tying his fortunes to the...
