While tax dollars are necessary to fund vital public services such as education, public safety and highways, Californians have long experienced excessive taxation. Today, our sales tax and marginal income tax rates are the highest in the country. This level of taxation is a heavy burden on families, businesses and individuals alike. In 1978, an overwhelming majority of the voters passed Proposition 13 in an effort to end the system of annual increases in property taxes based...
I am a middle school teacher in Perris, and recently had the opportunity to teach a group of advisory students basic tennis skills during the last few weeks of the school year. In need of approximately 40 rackets, I began collecting at yard sales, thrift stores, Goodwill, etc. Frantically running short of my goal, I reached out to the local community. I would like to thank Dorothy Roth of the Fallbrook Tennis Club as well as all of the lovely ladies at the Angel Shop for their generous donations. They went out of their way...

If you lived here when the last fire swept through Fallbrook, you will remember just how frightening it was and can be. It is happening for many in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico right now. In each fire, the forestry service has noted all the trees affected by the Bark Beetle have gone up like a Roman candle. Do you have a tree on your property that is turning orange? It will soon be dead and needs to be removed as soon as possible. By removing it, you will also be helping rid the bug that has devastated so many trees...
When we moved from Alaska to Fallbrook 17 years ago, I accidently left my purse in my shopping cart in the Albertson’s parking lot (then Lucky’s). It was retrieved by one of the baggers. I was very grateful that honest people live here. Last week, I had another memory slip and left my purse in the cart in front of Fresh & Easy. This time, a customer brought it in. The manager had no idea how I could thank her. I am writing this note in the hope that she might read this and feel rewarded for helping a forgetful old lady. I a...

SAN DIEGO COUNTY – Many people anxiously await the return of summer when they can wear shorts and short-sleeved shirts as temperatures warm up.

Certain animals, such as reptiles or tropical birds, are acclimated to hot temperatures. But other pets, including dogs, cats and even some small animals, can easily... Full story

The unanimous June 5 voice vote changes the forfeit threshold for playoff prohibition from a specific number of games to a percentage of scheduled competitions while also making allowances for tournaments in which several games are played. The change on the forfeits due solely to inadequate...
I can’t tell you how many times I hear “I play so well at my lesson and play so terribly in league.” First off, we need to define practice. Practice is hitting balls, without scoring. Match play is playing for score. 80 percent of the players consider match play practice; not so! Let’s say your backhand cross-court is weak, you come in for a lesson and we fix it. The worst thing to do is to go right after the lesson and play a doubles match. I watched a lady student leave t... Full story
