The 90-pound tortoise that was severely injured when he took a fall in Fallbrook April 15 is recovering nicely, according to Dan DeSousa, director of the Department of Animal Services for the County of San Diego. "He's actually doing very well," said DeSousa of the African spurred tortoise who – when apparently pursued by a dog – fell off a 10-foot wall in the 2200 block of Aqua Hill Road and landed on his back, breaking his shell in three places.

The first phase of development of the Fallbrook Railroad Heritage Park is nearly complete, which means a Santa Fe caboose will soon be sitting just northwest of the intersection of Main Avenue and Elder Street. "The ground has been graded, a pad created and the tracks put down," said Fallbrook Village Association president Roy Moosa, who noted that the 39-foot track panel was from a temporary line that ran in Los Angeles.

The bond if passed will fund three primary types of improvements. A...
Recent changes in California’s criminal statutes resulting from passage of Propositions 47 and 57 have reclassified many serious crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. These changes have reduced the justice system’s ability to keep criminals off the street, impeded criminal investigations by restricting DNA collection, and redefined the definition of violent crimes for incarcerated criminals up for parole. While prisoners convicted of violent crimes often are not eligible for...
The fireworks and skullduggery have only begun in the 5th Supervisor District. This office is spring-loaded or rigged for development. Have you ever wondered who benefits most from real estate developments? North county is a “development colony” for “big bucks” from Southern California and overseas. Candidates Kern and Desmond are candidates, and both are more than pro development; they’ll get help from developers and the building industry.

We Californians are feeling the burn from over- taxation. The State wants more at the gas pump, higher fees for auto registration, and changes to Prop 13. Then there are the school bond obligations. In tax year 2016-17, nearly half (45.8 percent) of San Diego County taxpayers’ property taxes went to education. Now BUSD is asking its taxpayers to pay even more by floating a $38 million construction bond in 2018. The crazy thing is that even if this bond were to pass, the District does not have the money necessary to operate a... Full story
