Last month's Rock fire (July 28) serves as an important reminder of the importance to be prepared to evacuate, and when told to do so during a wildfire, to evacuate quickly. Fires across the nation are now regularly burning at once historic rates, and less predictably. The "firenado" that was responsible for four of the six deaths at the Carr fire in Redding is but just one such example. Staying behind after receiving an evacuation order will put your life at risk. With such a...

And there definitely are financial consequences. “The average total price charged for pregnancy and newborn... Full story

Government could help create private sector jobs if they lowered the corporate tax rates. Oh, that's right, Trump is doing that. Government can help by releasing the stranglehold of needless r...

One of the hardest things for many parents to deal with is their children’s demand for more freedoms as they grow into teenagers. After years of making most of a child’s decisions and putting their child’s needs first, parents find themselves confronting a young adult who wants the freedom to face more of the world on their own. On some level, of course, parents recognize that their teenagers need increasing amounts of freedom and responsibility. It’s a natural part of the developmental process. At the same time, parents...

San Diego County saw three significant fires in July alone that resulted in evacuations, including one that resulted in significant property loss. There’s no doubt fire season is here both in Southern and Northern California. Besides the wildfires that were contained locally, firefighters were recently battling more than 10 major fires in the state, including the Carr fire in Redding and the Cranston fire in Idyllwild. These fires are a reminder that fire season is year-round and that all residents need to be prepared to r...
