The building which had been McDonald's before that fast food restaurant relocated will become a two-level structure if the director of the county's Department of Public Works grants a site plan permit design review checklist exemption. A 14-0 Fallbrook Community Planning Group vote Dec. 21 recommended approval of that exemption. "It will be a nice addition to that section of town," said Fallbrook Community Planning Group Chair Jack Wood. Ross Rose owns both the building which...
The average square footage of new homes sold in the United States increased from 2,457 in 2010 to 2,724 in 2015 but dropped in 2019 to 2,518, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Characteristics of New Housing. The report is based on data collected in the Survey of Construction which is partially funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It provides national and regional details on new privately owned single-family and multifamily residential structures....

Supervisor Nora Vargas succeeded long-time District 1 Supervisor Greg Cox, who had served on the board since 1995. The district covers Coronado, Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, National City, some communities within the City of San Diego, and unincorporated areas including Bonita, Lincoln Acres and East Otay Mesa. Supervisor Vargas was sworn in by her...
SACRAMENTO – Gov. Gavin Newsom released California’s “Safe Schools for All” plan, the state’s framework to support schools to continue operating safely in-person and to expand the number of schools safely resuming in-person instruction. Informed by growing evidence of the decreased risks and increased benefits of in-person instruction – especially for our youngest students – Newsom is advancing a strategy that will help create safe learning environments for students and safe workplaces for educators and other school staff....
SAN DIEGO – The year 2021 will mean a new name for the San Diego County Fire Authority as the organization has been recently renamed the San Diego County Fire Protection District. The name change became official Dec. 7 when the San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission voted 8-0 in favor of becoming a dependent special district under the county Board of Supervisors. LAFCO oversees the establishment and organization of special districts. “The San Diego County Fire Protection District has been a long time coming,” Herma...
At one time San Diego County had plans for a road called Via Encinos-Palomar Drive, which was also referred to as Select Collector 130. The county no longer has plans for that road, and Dec. 9, the county Board of Supervisors approved an easement vacation for a portion of Via Encinos-Palomar Drive. The supervisors’ 5-0 vote approved a resolution of vacation for the road segment, directed the clerk of the board of supervisors to record the resolution of vacation and found the action categorically exempt from California E...
On Jan. 11, 80 Assemblymembers and 40 Senators will return to Sacramento for the new 2021-2022 legislative session, which convened Dec. 7. Hundreds of bills will be introduced over the coming weeks. Most won’t be controversial, and many will probably never become law. Most bills must be submitted to the Office of Legislative Counsel by Jan. 22, and Feb. 19 is the final bill introduction deadline for this year. Bills will be referred to their respective committees for hearings...
The source for the subject editorial is Christopher Rufo, identified as “a visiting fellow for domestic policy studies at The Heritage Foundation.” Where he is visiting from is the Discovery Institute. The Discovery Institute is a politically conservative nonprofit think tank that advocates the pseudo-scientific concept of intelligent design (ID). “Though the Discovery Institute describes itself as a think tank ‘specializing in national and international affairs,’ the group's real purpose is to undercut church-state separatio...
Despite the huge setbacks globally in 2020, I am hopeful for 2021. Mostly it’s because of my faith in our people. In America, we are blessed with a wonderfully diverse culture of individuals, including immigrants from other more oppressive countries who believe in our great experiment. One of our challenges leading up to 2020 was our level of prosperity and comfort, then we were hit with a virus that threw us for a loop. As Steven Pinker recently said, “Infectious disease is...
I think I can speak for the 75 million patriotic Americans who still love our country, our heritage, and our founding fathers. We all stand proudly for our flag and our national anthem. To a person, we still believe in the rule of law and that every legal vote should count. We embrace right over wrong, God over government, and law enforcement over BLM and the ANTIFA anarchists. And yes, we honor the men and women who serve in our military, and we revere our veterans too. We have indulged you, the Democrats, for far too long,...
Thanks to Murphy & Murphy Southern California Realty for printing the Christmas story from Luke 2:1-20 in last week’s Village News because I think that most of us have forgotten what this day is all about, especially since it’s not a fictitious or fantasy event, but the real live historical event celebrating the birth of Jesus. What is mostly depicted today is Santa Claus, gifts, elves, snowmen, Christmas trees, reindeer, etc., and Christmas carols all about the same things. That’s very sad because the real reason for the s...
I had to reread the opinion letter by Jeff Pack as his analogies are skewed. No wonder we are so deeply divided in our opinions. People wanting to open their businesses so they can live and survive are not selfish nor indulging. They are protected by our Constitution and this lockdown to save everyone from this virus is nothing more than Totalitarianism. People are not dying in the streets like the fake media and the crazies in Washington running this country would have you believe. If you look at the real science and not...
I think we can all agree, I’m glad 2020 is in the rearview mirror. As we head into the new year, I don’t want to dwell on the past, I want to focus on the future, by getting back to basics. While there’s been a lot of media attention surrounding three new members joining the Board of Supervisors, my focus doesn’t change. When I ran for election in 2018, my top three priorities were fiscal responsibility, public safety and making sure we had adequate behavioral health services,...

Astronauts blasted into orbit from the U.S. for the first time in nearly a decade in 2020, while three countries sent spacecraft hurtling toward Mars and robotic explorers grabbed rocks from the moon and gravel from an asteroid for return to Earth. Space provided moments of hope and glory in an otherwise difficult, stressful year. It promises to do the same in 2021, with February's landings at Mars and next fall's planned launch of the Hubble Space Telescope's successor – t...
American factories grew in December at the fastest pace in more than two years as manufacturing continued to weather the pandemic better than the battered services sector. The Institute for Supply Management said Tuesday, Jan. 5, that its gauge of manufacturing activity rose to 60.7% in December, the highest reading since it stood at 60.8 in August 2018. The gauge was up 3.2 percentage points from a November level of 57.5. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion in the...
BATAVIA, Ill. – A viable quantum internet – a network in which information stored in qubits is shared over long distances through entanglement – would transform the fields of data storage, precision sensing and computing, ushering in a new era of communication. In December, scientists at Fermilab, a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science national laboratory, and their partners took a significant step in the direction of realizing a quantum internet. In a paper publi...
We have so much to be thankful for, including the fact that 2020 is now in the rearview mirror and we have a brand-new year ahead of us. I’m hoping that 2021 will be a year filled with gratitude and thanksgiving. Speaking of ingratitude, Shakespeare lamented the pain of ungrateful children when he said, “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child. Ingratitude, thou marble-headed fiend.” A New York paper devoted many pages over several weeks to printin...
Fallbrook Union Elementary School District students returned to all-virtual learning on Jan. 5, and will continue to learn distantly for a two-week buffer period after winter break before students in transitional kindergarten through first grade, to be followed by students in second and third grades as well as special education students, will be allowed to return to classrooms part-time five days a week. The FUESD board approved the district’s Phase Three reopening plan at its Dec. 14 meeting. Prior to winter break, s...
