For hundreds of high school athletes participating in a spring sport at Fallbrook Union High School, this is a difficult time. Some have spent as long as a decade preparing for their senior season in the sports they love. And for most of those seniors, the cancellation of the 2020 spring season means they will never officially compete in that sport again. Considering just more than 7% of all high school athletes nationwide compete in a varsity sport in college and less than...

MICHAEL TACKETT and JOSH BOAK Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The New Deal was really a series of new deals, spread out over more than six years during the Great Depression — a menu of nationally scaled projects that were one part make-work and many parts lasting impact. They delivered a broad-shouldered expression of presidential authority whose overall benefits were both economic and psychological. Not all of them worked. Some failed badly. But it was a try-anything moment by Franklin D. Roosevelt at a time of nat...
TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer DETROIT (AP) — Cindy Parkhurst could have stayed home collecting most of her pay while the Ford plant where she normally works remains closed due to coronavirus fears. Instead, she along with hundreds of workers at Ford, General Motors, Toyota and other companies has gone back to work to make face shields, surgical masks and ventilators in a wartime-like effort to stem shortages of protective gear and equipment. "I didn't give it a second thought," said Parkhurst, 55, a tow motor driver who is n...
CHRISTINA A. CASSIDY and JASON DEAREN Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) — As more states push to reopen their economies, many are falling short on one of the federal government's essential criteria for doing so — having an efficient system to track people who have been physically near a person infected with the coronavius. An Associated Press review found a patchwork of systems around the country for so-called contact tracing, with many states unable to keep up with caseloads and scrambling to hire and train enough people to han...
SARA BURNETT and KATE BRUMBACK Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) - As the global death toll from the coronavirus surpassed 200,000 on Saturday, countries took cautious steps toward easing lockdowns imposed amid the pandemic, but fears of a surge in infections made even some outbreak-wounded businesses reluctant to reopen. The states of Georgia, Oklahoma and Alaska started loosening restrictions on businesses despite warnings from experts that such steps might be premature. Shawn... Full story
DEB RIECHMANN and AAMER MADHANI Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's raising of unproven, even far-fetched ideas for fighting COVID-19 -- including his latest musing about injecting disinfectants into people -- triggered an outcry from health officials everywhere on Friday. It also highlighted his unconventional approach to the special responsibility that comes with speaking from the presidential pulpit. Trump readily admits he's not a doctor. Yet with the reported U.S. death toll from the virus t...
RUSS BYNUM and DAVID CRARY Associated Press SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Even as the confirmed U.S. death toll from coronavirus rose past 50,000, salons, spas and barbershops reopened Friday in Georgia and Oklahoma with a green light from their Republican governors, who eased lockdown orders despite health experts' warnings. Alaska took a similar step, allowing restaurants to resume dine-in service and retail shops and other businesses to reopen, all with limitations. Some municipalities chose to maintain stricter rules. Though l...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Navy officials have recommended reinstating Capt. Brett Crozier, formerly of the San Diego-based USS Theodore Roosevelt, but Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper has requested more time to consider whether he will sign off on restoring Crozier's command, it was reported today. Crozier was fired earlier this month by then-Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly for allegedly copying an emailed letter to several unauthorized parties, in which he asked Navy leadership for help amid a COVID-19 outbreak aboard his ship....
ADAM BEAM Associated Press SACRAMENTO (AP) - Taxpayers will pay restaurants to make meals for millions of California's seniors during the coronavirus pandemic, an initiative that could pump billions of dollars into a devastated industry while generating sales tax collections for cash-strapped local governments, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday. California has about 5.7 million people 65 and older and it's not known precisely how many will be eligible, though Newsom said he e...
A Fallbrook man ran a traffic break on a San Diego freeway and triggered a pursuit, firing at California Highway Patrol officers along the way before eventually being stopped by spike strips, an officer said Friday morning. It all began just before 5:30 p.m. Thursday, when CHP officers responded to a call about a pedestrian on eastbound Interstate 8 just before state Route 163 in Mission Valley, according to CHP San Diego spokesman Salvador Castro. While a CHP officer was trying to stop traffic in the area, a Toyota 4Runner...
RUSS BYNUM and DAVID CRARY Associated Press SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Even as the confirmed U.S. death toll from the coronavirus soared past 50,000, Georgia, Oklahoma and Alaska began loosening lockdown orders Friday on their pandemic-wounded businesses, despite warnings from health experts that the gradual steps toward normalcy might be happening too soon. Republican governors in Georgia and Oklahoma allowed salons, spas and barbershops to reopen, while Alaska opened the way for restaurants to resume dine-in service and retail s...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County health officials amended two COVID- 19 public health orders today, lifting ocean restrictions for swimmers, surfers and those using kayaks or paddleboards and requiring people within six feet of a non-household member after May 1 to wear a facial covering. These measures come after a week in which south county municipalities are seeing a spike in cases and north county cities seeing a greater call to open public spaces. Officials also reported 183 new cases of COVID-19 -- the largest single-... Full story
MEG KINNARD Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Announcing plans to begin reopening his state, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster cited the ongoing economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic. "South Carolina's business is business," he declared this week as he lifted restrictions on department stores, florists, music shops and some other businesses that previously had been deemed nonessential. At the same briefing, the state's chief epidemiologist, Dr. Linda Bell,...
AVALON, Calif. (AP) - When the gates to California's "island of romance" were all but locked to lovers and pretty much everybody else last month it may have saved the 4,000 residents from a coronavirus outbreak but it destroyed an economy based almost solely on tourism. The stay-at home order instituted across California isolated tiny Santa Catalina Island from the virus that was spreading rapidly on the mainland. The ocean-front city of Avalon, whose picturesque beauty has so...
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Californians will be tempted to hit beaches, golf courses and trails in the midst of a spring heat wave this weekend but authorities warned people not to swarm them for fear of igniting another deadly coronavirus surge. The forecast calls for temperatures in the 80s and 90s in many areas from Sacramento to San Diego and while most recreation remains shuttered under various stay-at-home orders, officials are wary that those still open could draw crowds that...
This year’s Fallbrook High School swim team included seven seniors whose high school careers ended early due to the shutdown of the school and the cancellation of CIF spring sports. Cameron Batty, Derek Enns, Chase Glick, Owen Hearn, Caden McCormies, Joe Moran and Jackson Richards are Fallbrook’s seven seniors. The team also included exchange student Lukas Holme, a junior, who has returned to Denmark. “Super disappointing for everyone, especially our seniors. A number of our boys were actually doing well,” Fallbrook coach B...
Frank Brines, Master Consulting Rosarian Over the past couple of weeks, many areas have gotten above average rainfall. While it is welcome, it presents problems for gardeners when it arrives over such a short period of time. The "good" is that one doesn't have to pay for water that contains more salt, and the rains leech salts out of the soil, some of which comes from fertilizers. Rain also replenishes the natural aquifers and lakes. But so much moisture creates an environment... Full story

The eight Bonsall High School seniors on this year’s track and field team were deprived of their 2020 season. “We did some training,” Bonsall head coach Eric Hendy said. The Legionnaires were supposed to participate in a Frontier League cluster meet March 12. “It got rained out,” Hendy said. The coronavirus quarantine closed the school following the March 13 classes and afternoon activities. The CIF suspended all athletic events and eventually canceled all spring sports. That ended the careers of seniors Conrado Acevedo-B...

A heavy weeklong storm, April 5-10, resulted in flooding and water damage for many homes and businesses. If a San Diego County resident’s property or small business sustained damage from the rain, the county would like their help to estimate rain damages in the region. The county Office of Emergency Services is asking storm-affected residents to complete a short damage survey form that will assist the county in collecting damage information and associated costs from the rains. The information gathered from the surveys will b...
