Two seasons removed from a league championship campaign, Fallbrook High School Warriors boys' water polo head coach Bill Richardson might have good reason to believe the Warriors are headed back in the right direction. A fourth-place finish in the Valley League in 2018 and a first-round exit from the from CIF playoffs was an unusually low year for the Warriors. But while the varsity team was struggling to a 7-22 record, the junior varsity Warriors went undefeated in league...

As I was driving toward town on Reche Road, the tire on my car had a major blow out. It was entirely shredded. I managed to pull over to the side of the road across from Potter Jr. High school. When attempting to call AAA, my cellphone created problems for me. As I was getting ready to take a long hike to the nearest phone, a man and his daughter stopped to offer help. I used his phone to call AAA and he insisted on staying with me until help arrived. I really didn’t take enough time to thank him properly for his good S... Full story
Parks play an important role in our community. The San Diego County park system is one of the best in the country and part of what makes San Diego County such a magnificent place to live. It’s my goal as a county supervisor to provide as many parks and recreation centers to District 5. Below is an updated list of upcoming parks in District 5. The list includes parks that are either funded or partially funded, in design or going through environmental review. In Bonsall, San L... Full story
I am a little dismayed and confused by the fact that this newspaper has been publishing another resident's very liberal opinion repeatedly, almost weekly for many years now and then I decided to voice my conservative opinion with fact based evidence and I am attacked with repeat complainer airing her issues, disgruntled citizen, vent on her soap box, repeated assaults, etc. Really?? I know we are East from West on most issues but what is wrong with you people.... You liberals? As long as it is what you want to hear then its... Full story
This short fact sheet gives an overview of my concerns and those of others who question the efficacy, the dangers and the “why” of adding fluoride to our water supply. It is time to re-examine that decision. Of course, there is science on all sides of this issue that will conflict, but we must question the policy. Without getting into the arguable science, I have listed a few points that don’t require opinion. Should you like more scientific data, I am happy to provide it. Fluoride Facts 1. Fluoride is added to the water... Full story
I, too, love my country deeply, and I also, for the first time in my life, am ashamed of what we are becoming as a country. I am ashamed of a president who is a habitual liar at 10,000 lies and counting; who is a known sexual predator; who calls women “pigs” and “dogs;” who openly mocks the disabled; who dehumanizes entire classes of people; who rips families apart and puts babies in cages; who uses his office to revenge himself on his “enemies;” who promotes baseless and dangerous conspiracy theories; who punches dow...

Mrs. Wilson feels comfortable enough as a “local” now to dictate how often a “local” can address “resistors” in her local paper. With all this excess time on your hands, maybe you could count how many people were murdered by “your” candidate and her husband, with complete impunity. You could start with Arkansas, then Waco and D.C., then Benghazi, and end up with the kid face down in D. C. at 3 a.m. with two bullets in the back of his head. And who knows, maybe even Epstein who knew too much about a certain male nymphomani... Full story
Our first responders make lots of sacrifices to protect the rest of us and this can take a toll on them, as well as their families. In a 2016 behavioral health study, roughly three-fourths of the surveyed peace officers reported having experienced a traumatic event, but less than half reported it to their agency. Even more troubling, about half of the officers reported personally knowing a peer who changed after experiencing a traumatic event, and about half reported knowing a... Full story
