FALLBROOK – Save Our Forest is honoring Roger Boddaert for his contribution to what became the Save Our Forest Treescape Project. A handmade, very unique bench has been installed at the little park like area on the corner of Vine and Alvarado streets. Permission to landscape the site from owner Moquey Marquross enabled Save Our Forest to plant some new trees on Arbor Day 2019 to enhance the area. Trees and outreach were made possible with a grant from California ReLeaf. The Torrey Pine trunk piece used to craft the bench w...

A deer mouse trapped during routine monitoring in Warner Springs has tested positive for the potentially deadly hantavirus, leading county officials to remind people they should never sweep up or vacuum up after rodents if they find them in homes, garages, sheds and cabins. Hantavirus is not uncommon in San Diego County. However, people are not likely to be exposed to it so long as they keep wild rodents out of their living spaces and structures. Wild rodents generally live...

Consumers who are hoping a couple of recent policy proposals might lower prices for their prescription drugs may be out of luck, at least for now. Earlier this year the Trump administration had proposed a rule that would have required prescription drug manufacturers to disclose list prices for drugs advertised on TV. Drug makers would have had to tell the public the list price of a 30-day supply of any drugs covered under the Medicare and Medicaid programs that cost at least $35 a month. Some experts argued the rule would...
Getting tired of how life just seems to happen? Do days seem to be filled with mundane tasks, an unfulfilling job or just the same old thing over and over? It's easy to let our lives fall into a rut and realize there are a lot of actions that may seem necessary, but aren't making us happy. This is when it's time to take charge of your life and begin moving things in a more positive and satisfying direction. You don't have to turn your whole life upside down, but rather start looking for small changes that can leave you...
NEW YORK – A staggering 74% of Americans are not familiar with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma – a type of skin cancer that is also the second most common type of cancer in the U.S. – according to a new survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of The Skin Cancer Foundation and in coordination with Regeneron and Sanofi.1,2 CSCC is more common than breast, lung and prostate cancer combined and is estimated to cause more deaths than melanoma.3,4 Yet despite these statistics, the survey found a surprising lack of aware...
The human spine runs straight up and down the back. When a person has a curve to the side of their spine, they may have scoliosis. The shape is described as the letter "C" or "S." This curve can range between small or large, but the key is that anything that measures 10 degrees or more is diagnosed as scoliosis. The backbone isn't visible for us to clearly see that a person has this condition, but a person with scoliosis usually leans to the side or may have one shoulder more... Full story

Name recognition is the draw for this current production at The Old Globe's Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre in Balboa Park. Steve Martin debuted on The Smothers Brothers TV show which ran 1967-1969. His quirky physical humor coupled with a perverse manifestation of everyday occurrences, reeked of irreverence and an unmitigated disrespect for societal mores became his comedic niche. Some might say genius. Case in point, in Martin's first film "The Jerk" he plays an... Full story

Emotional abuse and hate mail damage the heart. Do words really hurt? Did you ever hear the words "I don’t love you" or "your mom or dad is dead." The moment you heard them, those emotions start cutting your heart. I have recently been released from a 72-hour suicide watch. How often do we kill a person’s dreams or creativity? We are all guilty of expressing words that kill imagination and hope. We have said or heard the following words: "We have tried that before." "That’s not our problem." "We have always done it that...

Mueller’s testimony to Congress made it clear: it’s time for an impeachment inquiry. Hearing Mueller describe the extent of Trump’s crimes and corruption in his own words convinced me that Congress can no longer stand idly by. Mueller did not exonerate Donald Trump – not by a long shot. His investigation found extensive criminal activity and resulted in 37 indictments and at least seven convictions or guilty pleas, including Trump’s national security advisor, personal lawyer and campaign chairman. Mueller uncovered over 100 s... Full story
Now that we all know that the whole Russia investigation was false, fake, fabricated and paid for by Team Hillary, it is time heads start to roll and these horrific people need to do some serious jail time. If you think Watergate was serious and President Nixon resigned for it, then all these people should be doing hard labor for their complicit law-breaking, entrapment, career destroying efforts of several people in order to take down a sitting president that was fairly elected by the people, for the people. Our own FBI and... Full story
We often take many things for granted. The beautiful county we live in, the opportunities we are given and, most importantly, protection from our military, police and firefighters are things to be grateful for. Last week, we lost a young man named Yaroslav Katkov, an experienced CAL FIRE Firefighter from De Luz Station 16. Yaroslav proudly dedicated his life to serve and protect our community.
