Disappointment comes to everyone. As adults we, hopefully, have learned that when people or activities may sometimes let us down, we can keep such things in perspective and find ways to overcome our dashed hopes. But for children, disappointment can come in numerous forms. Even a seemingly minor hurt can often seem like such a complete disaster that the child truly has a difficult time accepting and dealing with it. And, in many cases, such as when a beloved pet dies or a close friend moves away, the hurt can be very real...
QUINCY, Mass. – Summer is here and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is reminding people about the potential electrical hazards in swimming pools, hot tubs and spas, on board boats and in the waters surrounding boats, marinas and launch ramps. Electric shock drowning (ESD) happens when faulty wiring sends an electrical current into the water. The current then passes through the body and causes paralysis. When this happens, a person can no longer swim and ultimately drowns. “Most people, including boat and poo...
Sponsored by Friends of Fallbrook Library, the highlight of every Community Read event is the speech given by the guest of honor, the author of the featured book. While this year's book, "Barking to the Choir", was not the first non-fiction book to be chosen, its subject was a definite departure from past choices (not to mention that the author is a Catholic priest). The world Father Gregory Boyle lives in and tells about in his books and speeches is much different from the...

When it comes to planning food for an event, Fallbrook has many restaurants and independent caterers from which to choose. I have been to several fundraising luncheons at Pala Mesa Resort and have never been disappointed in the food served there. The Angel Society's Angel Luau at Pala Mesa, May 24, was no exception. With the theme this year, it must have been easy for the organizers to decide on a suitable menu for the ladies to enjoy. The Angel Luau menu included Hawaiian...
The North County Fire Protection District will be sending one of its ambulances to Life Line Emergency Vehicles for a remount. A 4-0 NCFPD board vote May 22, with Kathleen Thuner absent, authorized the sole source agreement with Life Line Emergency Vehicles. “This allows us to remount an existing ambulance chassis,” NCFPD fire chief Steve Abbott said. The sole source contract allows for consistency and maximum safety, as Life Line has provided NCFPD with ambulance modules since before the current ones were manufactured. Tha...
The eight-foot tall chain link fence that lined a portion of Olive Hill Road in Bonsall for a month cost "about $300,000," according to Michael Aguilar, project manager for the County of San Diego Department of Public Works. The 1,200-foot long "debris fence" that straddled Olive Hill Trail was put up for safety reasons to prevent rocks or other things from falling onto Olive Hill Road from a burnt hillside produced by the Lilac fire last December. "We reviewed all the slopes and put in some erosion control measures through m...

On May 31, we observed World No Tobacco Day, a yearly reminder that we must put an end to a global epidemic. Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in California. But it’s not just harmful to smokers. Exposure to secondhand smoke continues to be a serious health problem in our communities. That is especially true in apartment complexes and other multi-unit housing facilities. I was a special education teacher for 37 years, and so many of my students suffered from asthma, missing days of s... Full story

In the article “NCFPD employees to help with pension debt paydown” in Village News May 31, it was stated that the employees “gave up a full pay raise” to pay down the unfunded actuarial liability.

Abbott said that this is an important distinction in that the full details of this arrangement will not be finalized for some time, and NCFPD would not wan...
