SOLANA BEACH – Beginning Monday, March 8, the North County Transit District, in coordination with Scripps Health, started providing a free, direct shuttle service between the Solana Beach Station and the Scripps Del Mar Fairgrounds Vaccination Super Station. This shuttle expands upon last month’s partnership between NCTD and MTS to provide free transit rides for people going to and from their COVID-19 vaccination appointments. Free transit rides will continue for all County residents traveling to other County vaccination stat...
SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom announced March 8 that, since the state began dedicating 10% of vaccine supply for education workers on March 1, over 200,000 education workers have been vaccinated, far exceeding the state’s goal of 75,000 vaccines per week. “This is welcome news for teachers, students and parents as more and more schools reopen safely across the state,” said Governor Newsom. “We will continue working with our local partners to accelerate this effort in communities across the state so that all school st...
The County Board of Supervisors received the 2020 Annual Report from the Citizens' Law Enforcement Review Board after a presentation from its executive officer March 2. CLERB was established in 1990 to investigate citizen complaints against San Diego County Sheriff's deputies and probation officers. CLERB also has the authority to review all deaths that occur in custody or in connection with the two departments without a complaint. The review board makes advisory findings on...
SACRAMENTO – The Newsom Administration announced March 4 that California will lead with safety protocols and vaccine equity to end the pandemic and reopen the economy. To that end, the state has set aside 40% of vaccine doses for the hardest-hit communities and established a vaccine equity metric – which seeks to increase vaccinations in those communities – as a prelude to adjusting the Blueprint for a Safer Economy, which governs the conditions under which California’s economy can safely operate during the COVID-19 pandemi...
A group of 36 residents of San Diego County graduated Feb. 17 from the "Academia de Alguacil," the first-of-its-kind Spanish language sheriff's academy sponsored by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. Delivered virtually via Zoom and entirely in Spanish, the five-week program was designed as a relationship-building program to help provide equity in educating one of the county's most vulnerable populations about law enforcement procedures and available resources in San...
If high winds create the risk of a San Diego Gas & Electric power line causing a wildfire, SDG&E will shut off electrical power to that area. That creates vulnerabilities for those without power, and SDG&E will be working with San Diego County staff to address those vulnerabilities. On March 2, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to direct the county’s chief administrative officer to identify gaps in Power Safety Power Shutdown mitigations and identify opportunities to reduce the impacts including health a...
The North County Fire Protection District's Station 3 in Rainbow will have a new modular building. A 5-0 NCFPD board vote, Feb. 23, authorized up to $425,000 for the purchase, construction and installation of the new building, declared the modular building to be a sole source project and authorized NCFPD Fire Chief Steve Abbott to execute a contract for the construction and installation. "This will be an option that I think will serve us well," Keith McReynolds, NCFPD...
California’s 2020 wildfire season set back the state’s fight against climate change, putting more carbon dioxide into the air than millions of passenger vehicles driving over the course of a year. Almost 4.2 million acres burned from 9,600 fires, killing 31 people, and emitting an estimated 112 million metric tons of carbon dioxide according to a California Air Resources Board report released Dec. 31. We have to fight this growing threat, which is why my colleagues and I hav...
It’s been a big week for cancel culture. Six books by Dr. Seuss fell victim, as well as Mr. Potato Head (not sure about Mrs. Potato Head). Two members of Congress wrote a letter asking cable companies to cancel One American News Network, Newsmax and FOX news. Do we really want our politicians sanctioning news? Deciding which news is acceptable and which should be banned? Do we want to cancel everyone who is questioning or dissenting government and their actions? People are a...
The author of the subject letter, to whom I will refer as “author,” tells me to consider “last week’s post-election court cases, hearings, affidavits, testimony, press conferences and rallies.” I did that, but my primary interest remains: “where is that mountain of evidence” for widespread voter fraud? The author also asked if I had seen the video of “suitcases full of ballots.” I have to answer that I saw a 90 second video clip showing a couple of standard ballot containers and nothing happening. The voting officials...
We applaud the honesty of the editorials by Julie Reeder. The editorial on Feb. 27 regarding ensored Doctors is very significant and is relevant to the experiences of both me and my wife. In December, preparing for a trip East, I started to research COVID-19 prophylaxis and came across the success many doctors were having with Ivermectin. A local physician researched Ivermectin for us and agreed to prescribe it (cost = $1.65) for my wife and me in case we came down with COVID-19 on our trip. One day after our return, Jan....
Have you noticed that, as an example, gas prices have gone up exponentially since the Keystone pipeline was halted? Not only our gas prices (especially in California), but the residents in small towns along the pipeline route have been destroyed, their businesses, their hopes, their dreams. To what end is this action? To appease the far left-socialists, to overturn the positive actions of President Trump, or is it to create a power base for themselves? And what about the dumbing down of American children by closing schools....
Public safety power shut offs can disrupt life throughout San Diego County. The shutoffs can wreak havoc on the community and come at inopportune times. In fact, Fallbrook had their power shutoff on Christmas Eve while a fire burned on Camp Pendleton. It’s not just the rural areas that have been impacted by these shutoffs. In many instances, cities in the North County have had their power cut for prolonged periods of time. During a power shutoff in 2019, the battery life on a...
This Memorial is for our mom, Colleen Ann Putnam Keller. Colleen passed away on Feb. 26, 2021 after a brief illness (not COVID-19). She grew up in Santa Monica and graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor of Science in 1950. She shared a lifetime of love with our father, Robert Philips Keller. Early on while dating, she dropped some jewelry down a storm drain and Dad crawled down and got it, proving to her that he was the one! Colleen and Bob were married on Sept. 16, 1951. Mom...

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Joe Biden wants America to know that he’s from the government and he’s here to help. The massive bill could be approved by Congress this week, possibly as early as Tuesday, March 9. "When I was elected, I said we were going to get the government out of the business of battling on Twitter and back in the business of delivering for the American people," Biden said after the huge bill passed the Senate on Saturday. "showing the American people that their government can work for them.” Taken togethe...
Elmer Yarborough got a terrifying call from his sister: She wept as she told him two of his nephews may have been shot in broad daylight as they left a bar in Portland, Oregon. He drove there as fast as he could. An officer told him one of his nephews was heading to the hospital and the other, Tyrell Penney, hadn't survived. "My sister, Tyrell's mom, was on the phone; I just said, 'He's gone.' And I just heard the most horrific scream that you could ever imagine," Yarborough...
Michael Rubinkam Associated Press Go for the gold? The U.S. government went for it. FBI agents were looking for an extremely valuable cache of fabled Civil War-era gold – possibly tons of it – when they excavated a remote woodland site in Pennsylvania three years ago this month, according to government emails and other recently released documents in the case. On March 13, 2018, treasure hunters led the FBI to Dent's Run, about 135 miles (220 kilometers) northeast of Pit...
With the most recent wave of the coronavirus pandemic appearing to be in the rearview mirror, some aspects of normal life will start to return next month. On Sunday, March 7, San Diego County public health officials reported 187 new COVID-19 infections and five deaths, far lower numbers than the thousands of new cases and dozens of new deaths reported on a typical day in December or January. In the 92028 ZIP code, which includes Rainbow and De Luz, county data showed the case rate dropped to 9.0 per 100,000 for the week of...
The Rainbow Community Planning Group held a special meeting, Feb. 24, on the county’s proposed marijuana dispensary and cultivation ordinance. Although any recommendation was deferred, possibly to the next regular meeting, March 17, the planning group heard a presentation from county planner Donald Chase while planning group members and members of the public provided input to Chase and asked questions. “We’re doing this to keep things in some sort of order,” Paul Georgantas, chair of Rainbow Community Planning Group, said. O...
For nearly as long as I’ve been writing my column, the topic of the shortage of affordable workforce housing has been a key issue in real estate. There are many programs that address affordable housing, so people at the lowest of income levels, or those on state subsidies can secure housing. But affordable workforce housing is an even bigger problem within California. It doesn't matter which region a person lives in, the housing available close to employment is generally n... Full story
Vacations. Can there ever be enough good words said about them? Or is it even possible to have too many? My husband thinks so. He believes one must finish one before planning the next. Naturally, we differ on this. After all, isn’t the unspoken, universal promise of 50 years of steady employment that we get to take vacations anytime we want? Don’t we all trust that once retirement finally arrives, we can start taking vacations at will even one after another? Anytime we wan...
The Fallbrook Public Utility District board approved a change order to the contract with Filanc Alberici JV to construct the Santa Margarita Conjunctive Use Project. A 5-0 FPUD board vote Feb. 22 approved a change order which will add $3,389,801 to the price of the contract. Although most of the cost of that change order is for the granulated activated carbon treatment system, $324,928 of that extra amount addresses changes to the pipeline design and installation required by field conditions and utility conflicts. "The...
BONSALL – The Bonsall Woman's Club held its monthly general meeting via Zoom on March 4. During this meeting, the club announced its annual Volunteer of the Year award. A committee, consisting of the BWS First Vice President and Dean of Chairman Marlene Rantanen; Second Vice President Sydne Gilbert; and past Volunteer of the Year Robin Scheuer, met and unanimously agreed to award this year's prestigious award to member Marleen DuBona. DuBona joined the Bonsall Woman's Club i...
NEW YORK CITY – Spring is finally around the corner, and for many young women, it means memorable events like prom, even if they may be socially distant or virtual this year. It may be tempting to achieve a bronzed, "sun-kissed" look for occasions like these, and studies show women are more likely to use indoor tanning devices than men. However, any young women considering indoor tanning should think twice. Ultraviolet radiation is a proven human carcinogen, and there has b...
