My wife and I try to minimize our water usage, however Fallbrook Public Utilities District’s bill calculation practices discourage that reduction. In January we used 3 units of water and received a bill of $107.09. In February, March and April, we reduced our water consumption to only 2 units of water each month. To our amazement and discouragement, our bill actually increased. So while in January we used 50% more water than each of the following three months, we were charged less. The bill for each of the three following m... Full story

In our current society, the streets are filled to the brim with ultra-strong heroin that’s often mixed with fentanyl and a multitude of its analogues, making life-saving efforts, like Narcan, futile when trying to reverse an overdose.

Overdoses can happen in the grocery store, in the car, at a shopping mall… just about anywhere. Overd... Full story
The author of the subject letter said, “Health care is the responsibility of each adult.” There was a time when it was the de facto case; however, that was when all the marvels of medical science could be contained in that black bag that the local doctor carried as he made his rounds in a horse drawn buggy. Accordingly, his charges were nominal – perhaps a chicken or two. Sorry, but that era has passed, forever. Instead, as the nation became more urbanized, the notion of health insurance arose. After all, at any one time, few... Full story

This Sunday, many people will be privileged to spend time honoring mothers. For me and many others, the day will bring back a flood of memories about my mother and all that she did and was. Like many people, my mother was blessed with a number of fine attributes, and one of the most endearing was her genuinely humble spirit. Saint Francis of Assisi had so many accomplishments he could have bragged about, but despite his many successes, he was best known for his humble spirit....
