Robert J. Morgan recalls the momentous day when England received the news of Wellington’s victory over Napoleon at Waterloo. There were no telegrams or telephones in those days, but everyone knew that Wellington was facing Napoleon in a great battle, and that the future of England hung in the balance. A sailing ship semaphored, which means they signaled with coded flags, the news to the signalman on top of Winchester Cathedral. He signaled to another man on a hill, and thus n...
The repair work for one of the San Diego County Water Authority pipelines in Moosa Canyon will be done this month, and two shutdowns of the SDCWA pipeline will sandwich the carbon fiber relining. “We shut down Pipeline 5, and we are currently in the process of installing two internal steel bulkheads,” Neena Kuzmich, engineering manager with CWA, said. “We just started a shutdown Monday.” That Monday was March 30. “It’s a seven-day shutdown of Pipeline 5, and that’s to facilitate the carbon fiber repair,” Kuzmich said.

San Luis Rey Training Center horse Leroy Pegasus returned from a 14-month break from racing and sandwiched his first-ever win between the shutdowns of two tracks. “I’m very proud of him,” trainer Sam Nichols said. “He deserved it.” After Turf Paradise canceled its races indefinitely due to the coronavirus epidemic, Nichols entered Leroy Pegasus in the second race, March 29, at Los Alamitos Race Course. That event was the final day of racing before that track was closed due to the quarantine; Golden Gate Fields also shut down...

Joseph Bell, Andres Martinez and Ever Morales were placed on the second team. Michael Lopez and Abraham Romo were recognized at the honorable mention level. “I think the boys deserve their honor,” Fallbrook coach Jorge Rojas. “I’m very happy and proud of the way they demonstrated themselves on the field.” Acosta received some consideration for the league...

There is a lot of information online both from the California Association of Realtors and many landlord-tenant sites. I would like to share my experience. No, I am not a massive owner of multiple properties, but I am a real estate broker who believes in property ownership. Why, because I trust something I can see, touch and feel. So, let me share my story as it is relevant today. I purchased a property in Temecula a few years ago. Based on my always initial premise, I bought something that has added value, i.e., location or... Full story

Congress just passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, a $2 trillion stimulus package aimed at helping Americans cope with an economy that is suddenly screeching to a halt. Small businesses, along with millions of employees, have been hit hard. Under the CARES Act, the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Plan is available to virtually every small business in America. There are two qualifications – businesses must employ less than 500 wor... Full story
We are mobilized for war. This time is a once in a lifetime experience for nearly all Americans, and it will show our enterprising make do solutions to problems, unity of spirit, the mustering of resources and persons, barn raising and food bank community moves and our customary massive but inefficient initial federal reaction. We shall overcome, and we shall and should be proud. It’s all built into the American DNA being demonstrated for us. There will inevitably be fraud, cheaters and war profiteers. We shouldn’t have to... Full story
It’s quite informative to do an A to B comparison of last week’s two letters responding to Dr. James Veltmeyer’s letter, Re: ‘Do we permit a virus to destroy our economy?’ [Village News, Letter, 03/26/20]. Kudos to Jeff Walker for his relevant, fact-based presentation. He makes it clear that Veltmeyer’s letter is an argument from ignorance. And the fact is, today Trump no longer holds the position that Veltmeyer is espousing. I know it’s been hard for Trump followers as his position has evolved from “The coronavirus is... Full story
I wrote this message in response to our eldest daughter as she begins finishing up this school year at home for our normally public-school going grandchildren. What had been expected to be a fun filled end of the year with field trips, parties and gifts for the teacher, now has turned upside down for the parents and children around our country and the world. My message was meant to encourage her. I hope it may encourage others. You know, I keep remembering Grandma Browne’s stories of growing up at the end of the depression, a... Full story
SAN DIEGO COUNTY – San Diego County Gun Owners, a political action committee promoting Second Amendment rights, is applauding recent federal guidelines that have classified gun shop retailers as essential businesses to remain open during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. “Despite what you might be hearing from overreaching, power-hungry politicians, gun shops are protected by the federal government and are absolutely deemed essential,” Michael Schwartz, executive director of SDCGO, said. “This virus pandemonium has uncover...

This is a response to some of the things addressed by Diana Miller in her letter. Bringing back factories from offshore is a great idea. To do that will require a totally new way of thinking about our culture and the way we live. For many years, since at least after World War II, the people of the U.S. have wanted to be the highest paid workers in the world with the best benefits. We also want to buy a lot of “stuff” at the lowest possible prices. Business, doing what it does best, goes off shore to get the “stuff” that we... Full story
Congratulations to Dr. James Veltmeyer for a brilliant, thoughtful, rational and logical letter; a rarity in this age of panic and insanity. Bravo. The points he makes, regarding COVID-19, are well taken, as are his ideas to control this terrible catastrophe that has brought the world to a screeching halt. Veltmeyer has my vote to stand with the task force. I might add, perhaps there is more to this pandemic than meets the eye? Mary Rayes... Full story
Fifth District We are in this fight together. While COVID-19 is the hidden enemy, we have seen the toll it’s taken upon our entire county. I mentioned this last week, but it’s just as true today. The Coronavirus doesn’t just affect Republicans or Democrats. It doesn’t discriminate based on the color of your skin, or what language you speak. We must all come together to defeat this enemy. While news continues to move by the hour, I wanted to provide you with an update of what... Full story
Bill Barrow The Associated Press The Democratic National Committee is delaying its presidential nominating convention until the week of Aug. 17 after prospective nominee Joe Biden said he didn’t think it would be possible to hold it in mid-July because of the coronavirus pandemic. Convention CEO Joe Solmonese confirmed the decision in a statement Thursday, April 2. “In our current climate of uncertainty, we believe the smartest approach is to take additional time to monitor how this situation unfolds so we can best pos...
Regardless of where people live, virtually every community has programs that rely on volunteers to operate. Hospitals, homeless shelters, schools, local theater and just about every other community-oriented program people can think of has a need for volunteers to keep it up and running. And yet many people don’t volunteer. Of course, they have plenty of excuses. Lack of time, work demands, family responsibilities, they’re too old – it’s a long excuse list that people might think about as they sit in front of the TV most night...
With the coronavirus topping more than 1 million cases worldwide, hospitals across the nation are struggling to meet the demand for the necessary personal protective supplies needed to treat patients carrying the highly contagious illness. Here in the Temecula Valley and surrounding communities, hospitals have turned to businesses and residents to help fill the void of the nearly depleted national stockpile of PPE gear. Both Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar and Rancho... Full story

Maggie Stewart Special to Village News It's almost that time of year again, for the annual Fallbrook Avocado Festival. Residents look forward to this time for the street food aroma and deliciousness, numerous vendors selling interesting must have gadgets and clothing, the Art of the Avocado and the famous Guacamole Contest. Alas, it had to be canceled this year, so that everyone can stay home and help stop the spread of COVID-19. To say that being quarantined in a place like...
The closure of beaches means that homeowners cannot currently have bonfires to get rid of the wood in their yards from trimmed trees or branches blown off, but Dominic Fieri, fire marshal of North County Fire Protection District, said he doesn’t see such wood as a fire hazard during the spring if it is far enough away from structures. “At this particular time, it isn’t a concern,” Fieri said. During hotter and drier conditions, the wood would become a fire hazard, but if bonfires are delayed until late spring that won’t likel...
John Raby The Associated Press Dig. Plant. Breathe. As spring’s arrival in the Northern Hemisphere coincides with government stay-at-home orders, the itch to get outside has turned backyard gardens into a getaway for the mind in chaotic times. Gardeners who already know that working with soil is a way to connect with nature said it helps take away their worries, at least temporarily. “I love to see things grow,” Lindsay Waldrop said. “It’s incredibly therapeutic.” Now more than ever. Waldrop, a resident of Anaheim, ha...
