ANDREW TAYLOR, JOSH BOAK and AAMER MADHANI Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House took the unusual step on Thursday of deciding not to release an updated economic forecast as planned this year, a fresh sign of the administration's anxiety about how the coronavirus has ravaged the nation just months before the election. The decision, which was confirmed by a senior administration official who was not authorized to publicly comment on the plan, came amid intensifying...
MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration may soon expel thousands of Chinese graduate students enrolled at U.S. universities and impose other sanctions against Chinese officials in the latest signs of tensions between Washington and Beijing that are raging over trade, the coronavirus pandemic, human rights and the status of Hong Kong. President Donald Trump said he would make an announcement about China on Friday, and administration officials said he is considering a months-old proposal to r...
MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer New research shows how dangerous the coronavirus is for current and former cancer patients. Those who developed COVID-19 were much more likely to die within a month than people without cancer who got it, two studies found. They are the largest reports on people with both diseases in the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain and Canada. In one study, half of 928 current and former cancer patients with COVID-19 were hospitalized and 13% died. That's far more than the various rates... Full story
ZEKE MILLER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump escalated his war on Twitter and other social media companies Thursday, signing an executive order challenging the lawsuit protections that have served as a bedrock for unfettered speech on the internet. Announced with fanfare, the president's action yet appeared to be more about politics than substance. He aims to rally supporters after he lashed out at Twitter for applying fact checks to two of his tweets. Trump said the fact checks were "editorial d...
TIM SULLIVAN and AMY FORLITI Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anger over the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man in police custody, spread beyond Minneapolis on Thursday, with looting and fires set along a major St. Paul street and protesters returning to a neighborhood already ravaged by violent protest. It was the third consecutive night of violent protests following Floyd's death on Monday. In footage recorded by a bystander, Floyd can be seen pleading that he can't breathe as Officer Derek Chauvin, who is whi...
DAVE SCHWAB City News Service SAN DIEGO (CNS) - With the state this week lifting the prohibition on religious congregations meeting in-person due to the pandemic, the Catholic Diocese of San Diego announced it will resume live services on June 14. ``We've encouraged the beginning of live services in the majority of our parishes,'' said Kevin Eckery, vice chancellor communications and public affairs, Diocese of San Diego, ``But to take pressure off folks who might be unable to...
VISTA (CNS) - A former San Diego County sheriff's deputy jailed for groping and sexually assaulting more than a dozen women while on duty was released from custody earlier this month, but not due to any early release agreements, the District Attorney's Office said today. Richard Fischer, 34, was sentenced last December to 44 months behind bars followed by 16 months of post-release supervision. ``He was released on May 15 after receiving custody credits under the law, which is standard for every qualifying inmate,'' according...
VISTA (CNS) - A man who fatally stabbed another man during an argument in Carlsbad last summer pleaded guilty today to an involuntary manslaughter charge. Jay Terry, 37, is slated to be sentenced June 25 to five years in state prison for the July 10 slaying of 35-year-old Eric Blackstock, according to Deputy District Attorney Peter Estes. Terry and Blackstock did not know each other well, but began arguing due to something Blackstock said to Terry's girlfriend, which escalated into violence from both parties, the prosecutor...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Beginning Monday, Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train service sidelined by the COVID-19 crisis will be partially restored to Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo, rail officials announced today. Next week's adjustments will be the first step to restoring full operation of the line, bringing back service along 100 miles of the 351-mile Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo coastal rail corridor, known as LOSSAN. A temporarily reduced Pacific Surfliner schedule went into effect March 23 in response to...
Josh Hernandez completed four years on Fallbrook High School's varsity cross-country team in November, and even though the 2020 track and field season was shortened, that was his fourth year on the Warriors' varsity for that sport. He will continue his scholastic running career at Coker University. "I am pretty happy to be able to run in college," Hernandez said. Hernandez signed his letter of intent April 23. "That was a special moment for him," Marco Arias, head...
Grant Knox will continue his baseball career at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon. "I'm honored to have the opportunity to be a part of the amazing education that Linfield offers and being able to play with the reputation of the Wildcats," Knox said. Linfield College won the NCAA Division III championship in 2013, and in five of the past 10 years – not including the shortened 2020 season – the Wildcats won the Northwest Conference championship. McMinnville is in nor...

A June 24 San Diego County Board of Supervisors hearing will likely result in an adjustment to the Community Facilities District assessment for Pardee Homes' Meadowood development. The county supervisors voted 5-0, May 6, to set the June 24 hearing date. Modification of the boundaries of specific tax zones to correlate with the phasing of the development and an increase in the maintenance cost of stormwater facilities due to a site plan change and San Diego County Flood Control District input led Pardee to request to change....
The county's Zoning Administrator gave his approval for the replacement of a Verizon wireless communication pole in Pala. The May 21 decision of Zoning Administrator Eric Lardy modifies the project's Minor Use Permit to allow replacement of the existing monopole in the 10600 block of Highway 76 with a false pine tree. The existing pole is 30 feet tall and the false tree will be 34 and 1/2 feet tall. The 12.9-acre property has A70 Limited Agriculture zoning. In 2003, the county adopted a policy for wireless communication...
During the days following 9/11, my mother, Joan Roche, a celebrated Fallbrook watercolor artist and board member of the Fallbrook Art Association and incumbent president of National Watercolor Society, was moved to capture the emotion displayed by a New York firefighter kneeling in the 9/11 rubble with his head and helmet in his hands during the aftermath of the tragic collapse of the World Trade Center. The watercolor was unfinished when Joan suddenly died less than one month later. This unfinished watercolor was then sold... Full story
Dr. James D. Veltmeyer Special to Village News Perhaps one of the most annoying – and wholly unnecessary – government-imposed mandates during the COVID-19 crisis is the increasingly widespread demand that healthy Americans wear face masks. Of course, just a few months ago, practically everyone in the elite medical establishment – from the surgeon general to Dr. Anthony Fauci as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization were advising against the use of face masks. Now, they have a... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron AS-75 (R) It’s graduation time, and unfortunately the events that our college and high school students, eighth graders, kindergarteners and many others have been eagerly working toward all year have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that includes canceling traditional graduations and grad nights, school dances and other large gatherings. These events and ceremonies are the focal point of the school year and of a student’s academic career. From Temecula to Fallbrook and Bon... Full story
Thanks Maggie, I really appreciate you taking the time to write, and I also appreciate the tone of your letter. I know you care about our community as much as I do. I also agree with you about dehumanizing. I hate to see that as well, which is why I personally chose early on to cover what was going on in Hong Kong and lately what has been happening with Lt. Gen. Flynn. I have to say, it is the first time I’ve been called a spokesperson for Fallbrook, though, I think I know w... Full story
It is interesting that you noted former President Barack Obama’s 2014 warning that there will be an airborne disease that we may have to deal with. That notice was also about the same time that Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health requested $3.7 million of taxpayer money to give to the Chinese virology lab in Wuhan, China, so they could continue their study of viruses. Then in 2016, the Obama administration gave us a 69-page “how to” book, plus a 2017 warning to President Donald Trump on handling a pande... Full story
Again with the personal attacks Mr. Walker. You do not know me or my nationality and your “white privilege” is nothing more than you white people feeling guilty about the atrocities that took place hundreds of years ago. Let it go. Maybe you had “white privilege” – that doesn’t really exist – but I grew up poor and on the wrong side of town so don’t dare disparage me. I never said anything about attending college. Again with the extreme. A basic high school graduation plus common sense will go a long way. Heck, there are... Full story
As a 20-year resident of our dear Fallbrook, I am so drawn to the sense of community that exists here. Things are not perfect, but when I meet a neighbor or someone at the grocery, I do not stop to think “are they a Republican or Democrat?” I value that feeling of camaraderie and acceptance. I believe that so many problems are accentuated right now because of the division in our country. We have lost the ability to communicate about our differences, and instead simply label people, groups, news outlets as either “for us” o... Full story
Our momentum is building, San Diego County! Thanks to your support, restaurants are open for dine-in and retail shops for in store shopping. Also, we’ve sent a proposed pilot program telling the governor we are ready to open personal salons, fitness facilities, outdoor religious services, homeowner association pools, therapeutic and peer support groups and modified youth sports. I want to keep pushing to open more, but it’s a start and our voices are being heard. I would love to see churches, amusement parks and many other bu... Full story
I feel that San Diego County Parks Department missed the mark when they planned access to the Rio Prado Park. Yes, of course, they took advantage of the existing Dulin Road from Old Highway 395 to the proposed park. Dulin Road has had a locked gate and has been virtually a dead end street for more than 40 years. It was designed for access to a rural senior community. Also, Rancho Monserate Country Club has taken on the responsibility of maintaining Dulin Road for all these years. Senior residents count on being able to cross... Full story
Robert Jablon The Associated Press The head of the federal Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division told Gov. Gavin Newsom Tuesday, May 19, that his plan to reopen California discriminates against churches. In a letter to the governor, Eric S. Dreiband said that despite a coronavirus pandemic “that is unprecedented in our lifetimes,” Newsom should allow some in-person worship under the current second phase of his four-part reopening plan. Restaurants and other secular businesses are being allowed to reopen under socia...
