Jennifer Peltz The Associated Press Exxon Mobil won Tuesday, Dec. 10, in a closely watched lawsuit over the costs of climate change, with a judge saying there was no proof the energy giant duped investors about the toll that regulations could take on its business. New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office didn't prove the company made any material misstatements “that misled any reasonable investor,” state judge Barry Ostrager in Manhattan wrote in dismissing the case. “Nothing in this opinion is intended to absolve...
Zachary Stieber The Associated Press House Democrats said President Donald Trump abused power and obstructed Congress, unveiling two articles of impeachment against him Tuesday, Dec. 10. House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said Trump tried to conceal evidence from Congress and betrayed the public trust, endangering the Constitution and the United States’ national security. Trump “solicited and pressured Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 election,” Nadler said. Nadler said Trump “engaged in unprecedented, categor...
Ivan Pentchoukov The Epoch Times Attorney General William Barr assessed Monday, Dec. 9, that the FBI abused government surveillance powers in its investigation of the Donald Trump campaign. Barr gave his conclusion in response to the highly-anticipated report by the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who determined that applications for warrants to spy on a Trump campaign associate contained 17 significant errors. Horowitz concluded that the errors...
FALLBROOK – The Art in Public Places sculpture, “Happies” by artist Barrett DeBusk, resides on the northwest corner of South Mission Road and Fallbrook Street. It is enjoyed daily by drivers and passersby, including children walking to and from school. The sculpture, originally on loan, was finally purchased by a group of donors who couldn’t resist the children’s plea to keep the “Happies” in Fallbrook. The sculpture is now in a state of disrepair and it will cost thousand...
America has the highest rates of infant mortality – units are per 1,000 live births – and maternal mortality – units are per 100,000 live births – of any developed nation. Those two figures provide a measure of the quality of care received for prenatal and postnatal care, or lack of care. In 2015 and reported in 2017, America’s infant mortality rate was 5.7 versus 3.9 for developed nations; maternal mortality rate was 14 for the U.S., placing it 46th on a listing of all nations. The rate for the top-rated nations was 3. Ke...
Dear Duncan, Not only have your wife Margaret and you lied to the people of the 50th District, but you stole, yes you stole, from all the people who donated to your campaign in good faith. You knew that funds from the campaign were illegally used for the trips your family and you enjoyed and you even allowed Marge, your wife and campaign manager, to "purchase" golf balls and claim that they were for Wounded Warriors, many of whom can't physically play golf nor afford to do so. How outrageous. As a candidate, you knowingly...
My husband and I had the delightful privilege of being entertained by the Fallbrook High School Madrigals, Wednesday, Dec. 4, at the California Retired Teachers’ Association holiday brunch. Their singing performance of Christmas songs was top notch. Fallbrook can be so proud of these 18 teenagers and their instructor, Heather Smith. Everything about their performance was commendable. Their voices in the group numbers blended and harmonized beautifully. The solo numbers exhibited talented singers who had poise and grace. T...

We would like to especially thank our sponsors: SDG&E, Senator Brian Jones, PJA Insurance and Foto Booth Images. With the generosity of these supporters it allows us to put on a completely free community event with Horse drawn carriage rides, photo booth,...
Fifth District Last week, we held our inaugural Holiday Open House. It was incredible to see so many constituents from District 5 coming together to celebrate the holiday season. It’s been a whirlwind first year as a County Supervisor. I’ve learned that it’s much different from being mayor of San Marcos. The county has a vast amount of responsibilities ranging from Health and Human Services to Weights and Measurements. All of which play an important role in making San Diego...
I was out walking this past week and was amazed at how quickly a little bit of rain has started the greening of our local hills and roadways. I could follow the paths that the runoff created and stopped to pick up trash that had either blown or washed down the gutters. I, like many other citizens of Fallbrook, have taken a pledge to help “keep Fallbrook litter free,” a program spearheaded by the Fallbrook Beautification Alliance. What I did not see on this particular walk was any sign of graffiti. What a pleasure. We are so...
I just spent two days in Los Angeles, with the California Association of Realtors, Strategic Planning and Finance Committee. I am one of 18 directors across the state that gets read in on upcoming issues and challenges for real estate in California. I wish I could say that it was an exhilarating two days, but quite honestly, if you are a property owner or a “hope to be some day” property owner, there is not much to be excited about. California has a $250 billion unfunded emp...

Eleanor "Ellie" Ross was born Jan. 30, 1932, and passed away Nov. 29, 2019, surrounded by family. She was a beloved mom, sister, grammie and great-grammie "gigi."

Ron Wylie didn't want to see a bunch of shuttered windows in the space that had recently been Brandon Gallery in the building he owns on Main Street during the Avocado Festival in April. "That'd be really bad for downtown to have this be a vacant space," Wylie said in what is now called 105 N. Main Gallery. "It doesn't present the right image for Fallbrook. That's something I've been working hard on ever since I joined Connections 25 years ago and we start putting on the Hot...
FALLBROOK –It may be tempting to curl up on the couch and turn on the television to unwind, but research indicates that reading is one of the best workouts for the brain. The World Health Organization said that doctors diagnose nearly 10 million new cases of dementia each year. With so many people understandably concerned about any and all cognitive issues related to aging, the search is continually on to find ways to strengthen the mind’s muscle. It may be as simple as picking up a book. People make New Year’s resol...
LOMA LINDA – A recent Loma Linda University Health study found lower rates of premature death and cancer in Seventh-day Adventists, a Protestant denomination long known for health promotion, compared with individuals in the general U.S. population. Published early online, Nov. 25, in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study also found similar results when limiting the analysis to Black Adventists and the Black general population. Health behaviors promoted by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in...
With one holiday down and two to go, it will soon be over before you can say mistletoe. Whew! Making it through Thanksgiving was the first hurdle. The ongoing mantra around here is “it’s just food.” OK, there may be an argument that pumpkin pie with whipped cream is more than just food. However, this year the slices were much, much smaller. Absolutely no second helpings. I didn’t gain any weight during Thanksgiving or even while in Alaska a few weeks ago. It proves I can man...
‘Tis the season when everyone is bombarded with happy holiday images. Advertisers continually show rejoicing families with their new cars, children opening piles of presents around the Christmas tree and countless cheery family gatherings – upbeat images, laughing children and plenty of holiday joy. Except this image simply isn’t true for everyone. All those happy holiday images and promotion of all the good times and pleasures of the season can build up unrealistic expectations and not just for those children asking Santa...
The Fallbrook Regional Health District finance committee Dec. 4 moved to recommend to the health district’s board that the district approve a new vendor for processing community health grants. The district awards grants to organizations that meet the needs of underserved communities and align with the district’s mission. In the 2019-20 fiscal year, the district has already awarded grants including $120,000 to the Fallbrook Food Pantry to help alleviate hunger in the area and $23,714 to Be Well Therapy, Inc. for a cancer recov...
Marilynn Marchione The Associated Press Chief Medical Writer A drug that curbs delusions in Parkinson's disease patients did the same for people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia in a study that was stopped early because the benefit seemed clear. If regulators agree, the drug could become the first treatment specifically for dementia-related psychosis and the first new medicine for Alzheimer's disease in nearly two decades. It targets some of the most...

Yet there is one year-end plan that is often overlooked: taking steps to make the most of your health benefits. Doing so could help improve your health and save you money. Here are five health tips to consider before the end of the year: Get ahead of health issues: People with employer-sponsored, individual, Medicare and...

Depending on which side of the canyon gardeners live, the past few weeks have produced much needed rain and, for some folks, too much of a good thing. In any case, the roses are appreciating the break. After being buffeted around, shoved from hither to yon and finally getting a great shower removing the dusty layer from more recent Santa Ana winds and rehydrated soil, a resting period will be a welcome state. Most areas still haven't had temperatures anywhere near frost. Roses...
