  • State spending questionable along Highway 76

    Updated Nov 18, 2010

    For almost ten years, when my friends and I ride our horses along the San Luis Rey River, there have been conservationists hired by the State to track the endangered Bells Verio bird. Six months out of the year we see various state workers tracking birds, frogs (moved from Pala), carnivores, and even weeds. They have built traps to kill unwanted cowbirds and even certain toads. I’m sure they have been paid a decent salary and over the years it adds up. Taxpayers spent money to conserve the creatures, but now it looks like i...

  • Re: 'We need to return to tried and true GOP principles' [Letter, Village News, 10/21/10]

    Updated Nov 18, 2010

    In a recent letter, Glen Holzhausen suggests that I speak of the “real” Republican principles that I hold so very dear. Firstly, I believe, comes “honesty.” If we, as a party, have a policy of non-cooperation with the Obama presidency to the point of downright hatred (see the Tea Party banners), we should say so. Instead, we hide the hatred under the cloak of disagreement. Secondly, we should state forthrightly why we disagree with healthcare to the poor and uninsured. Is it because of the “bottom line” (i.e., it costs too mu...

  • Leaving pets in cars is dangerous

    Updated Nov 18, 2010

    On Oct. 29, my husband and I were sitting in the Golden Spoon Yogurt Shop in Temecula. We overheard an employee on the phone talking to the center security guard regarding a small Chihuahua that had been locked in a car for over half an hour. The temperature was in the high 80’s (a car will go to over 120 degrees in a matter of minutes). We checked the car ourselves, and then called the police. While giving information to the authorities, the security guard told me that he had finally found the woman shopping in Vons. By n...

  • Fluoridating water is toxic

    Updated Nov 18, 2010

    When will we stop listening to politicians on items concerning our health but instead follow the scientific findings of research? Fluoridating our water in north San Diego is about 100 percent by Metro Water which supplies most of our water. Yet scientific research shows unequivocal toxic effects on brain, bone, kidneys, and thyroids, including arthritis, Alzheimer’s, and osteoporosis. These toxicities are presented by multiple researchers, most notably Dr. Paul Connett, PhD. He is the foremost authority on fluoride. His book...

  • Trying to get Kaiser insurance?

    Updated Nov 18, 2010

    To all of you who would like to have Kaiser Permanente insurance: several years ago, there were many letters written to the North County Times from people who had been dropped from their Kaiser coverage because they retired and were no longer under a corporate plan. For years, many of us have been asking why will they not insure zip code 92028 and yet they do cover all the areas north, south, east and west of Fallbrook. I finally have an answer to pass on to those of you interested. Every year Medicare renegotiates their cont...

  • What about online self-help legal services?

    Updated Nov 18, 2010

    The poor economy and just plain bargain shopping have many using online self-help legal services like LegalZoom for a variety of issues instead of visiting their local attorney. In some cases, that may be a reasonable decision. In fact, I periodically recommend LegalZoom or other online services and government websites when I receive calls for very routine matters. In other cases, however, the savings and the adequacy of the finished product may come into question. The online...
