VISTA - A former Camp Pendleton Marine sergeant who tortured and fatally stabbed a young mother who caught him stealing video games from her Vista home was sentenced to death today. Derlyn Threats, 29, was convicted last year of first-degree murder with special circumstances in the Sept. 1, 2005, death of 24-year-old Carolyn Neville.

SAN DIEGO - Salvagers will try again today to raise a World War II dive bomber that crashed into a reservoir near Eastlake more than 65 years ago. The Navy SB2C Helldiver was supposed to be pulled from the depths of Lower Otay Lake Wednesday, but the operation was postponed due to delays in dredging, Arian Collins, a spokesman for the San Diego Water Department said. Once it is finally freed, the Helldiver will be salvaged and taken to the National Naval Aviation Museum in...

The immigration debate is so emotionally exaggerated some of the statements border on myth: “We are being invaded,” “We are overrun to the point we are no longer America,” “We need to save America.” I’m not denying the fact that illegal immigration is a problem. Unfortunately, vitriol and fear are substituted for calm rationality. Granted, the federal government has been extremely slow with reform, citizens have been victims of violence by illegal immigrants, health care costs are increasing, etc. I understand the motivatio...
A week ago, I called two airport transportation companies listed in the Fallbrook Directory to make a reservation to take our house guests, a family of four from Japan, to LAX on August 13. My conversation with one of these companies was a very strange, unsettling, negative experience. My conversation with the second company (including answering a question the first company had refused to answer), was the kind of experience one hopes to have from a “Friendly Fallbrook” business. Janice at Apple Dumpling Livery not only ans...
As a frequent commuter between L.A. and Fallbrook, I’m growing frustrated with traffic on the existing State Route 76 (Pala Road). The road is winding and dangerous, and expanding the eastern portion along the existing route will not only fail to resolve the problem, but the proposed highway median would pose an unacceptable fire evacuation risk to the communities that dot the landscape. By law, Caltrans and other powers-that-be must prepare plans for two viable alternatives for the expansion, on which the citizens may h... Full story
I moved into an assisted living facility in Fallbrook when it became necessary for more to have extra help. I have no complaint about the living accommodations and the nursing help. However, after a fall, I had to spend three days in the hospital and when I returned to the assisted living facility, all of my jewelry was missing from my room. My jewelry box and all the drawers in my room had been rifled through. Missing were my wedding rings (which I had removed due to my hands being swollen), the jewelry that belonged to my...

A DEIR (Draft Environmental Impact Report) represents a collection of data from a host of federal, state, county agencies and Consultants all addressing the same issue; change! Simply stated, the DEIR is a document containing studies of how proposed changes will impact an existing condition and does not identify a “preferred route alignment.” The SR76 DEIR provides studies on six criteria established by Caltrans; Traffic (congestion, circulation and safety), Natural Environment (water quality, wildlife, floodplain area), End...
As it it’s not difficult enough for many of us to earn a living here, another obstacle has been thrown in our face. There has been an individual(s) going through our community deciding what signs stay and what signs go. The casualties are small businesses and charities. Some self-appointed vigilante(s) complains to the County about banners being displayed. This is not a joke. I have contacted the County’s code enforcement officer, Tom Causey, about this issue. He told me the County does not take any action unless they rec...
After seeing on television that Lowell, Massachusetts, is home to 60 separate active gangs (not 60 gang members, but 60 actual gangs), I am so grateful to the County of San Diego’s law enforcement departments to mesh together in fighting this sort of thing happening here. Fallbrook is such a beautiful place to live and all the work our local Sheriff’s department is doing, coupled with the additional influx of trained gang officers from other areas is a blessing indeed for all of us. By our citizenry backing these brave off...
Every year Camp Pendleton has its Marine and Navy Balls, where our military and their spouses don formal uniforms and attire for the very special occasion. Spouses and partners, of course, need to look equally formal, and I have been collecting evening wear for them, for some years now. They have a Ball Giveaway in September, and this is when the spouses and partners get the opportunity to go into a large hall, and choose an outfit for the Ball. I am collecting donations for this occasion until Aug. 31. I must deliver the... Full story
SAN DIEGO – Rady Children’s Hospital recently issued a statement that it is felt many children are carrying backpacks that are far too heavy to carry on their back, making them more vulnerable to injury. Every year, physical therapists treat patients with serious back and neck injuries due to heavy backpacks. A loaded backpack should be light enough for a child to walk or stand up straight without leaning forward or to the side. Backpacks should be no heavier than 10 t...
