The North County Fire Protection District has a cost recovery program which bills insurance companies for the district's cost to respond to highway incidents, and July 24, the NCFPD board voted 5-0 to update the fee structure. "We elevated our rates to the industry average," said NCFPD fire chief Steve Abbott. "It's a very modest increase." Although the increases equate to approximately 12 percent, the fire district had never previously incorporated a consumer price index adjustment. The July 24 action incorporates an annual...
The extension of the half-cent TransNet sales tax took effect in 2008, continuing the TransNet tax which has been collected since 1988. The current TransNet tax will run through 2048, although the tax can be extended beyond that with voter approval. The TransNet ordinance also requires that the San Diego Association of Governments conduct a 10-year comprehensive program review, which was approved by a 17-0 vote at the July 27 SANDAG board meeting, with representatives from El Cajon and Imperial Beach absent. The review had...

Imagine you’ve just dropped your children off for school and you’re headed out to your day when you receive a phone call. It’s a phone number you don’t recognize but considering your children had just started the school year and because you worry, you answer. On the other end you hear a young girl crying in the background saying “Mommy, mom, please help me, they took me.” You respond by blurting out your daughter’s name and then a menacing voice picks up the phone and tells you that they are with the Mexican Mafia and they ha...
Ronald Shattuck Special to the Village News My dear friend and neighbor in Bonsall, Louie Neese, passed away Aug. 15. He was 95. I had the personal honor of assisting Neese with his memoirs and want to share some of his memories with everyone. Born in Amarillo, Texas, Sept. 17, 1922, Neese's earliest memory was wanting to be a pilot. The first time he ever saw an airplane close-up, it was because two Jenny biplanes had crashed near his church on Sunday; the pilots survived....

FALLBROOK – The saying, "better late than never," is very apropos for Renee Barnes. Deciding she had heard enough requests for stories to accompany her art, she started to write her stories at the tender age of 78. She laughingly refers to her writing as self-defense. In the last two years, she has written, illustrated and published five books in her series of 10, "Tales from the Evergreen Wood." This series is about a little green frog with a bright yellow hat who, along with...
Avocados are one of California’s signature crops. Though only five California counties have significant acreage, the state produces over 90 percent of the nation’s avocados. Hard to grow, sensitive to extreme weather and to a variety of pests, acreage is largely limited to San Diego, Riverside, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, with San Diego County historically producing the most. Since thriving, well-irrigated avocado groves and row crops can help hin... Full story

Anyone who’s visited a Department of Motor Vehicles field office lately has likely encountered an inconvenient truth: DMV wait times aren’t just longer than ever, they are out of control. Some of my constituents who made appointments for basic services, like renewing a driver’s license, told me they waited for hours only to be told at the end of the day to go back home and try again tomorrow. Way back in 2005, the federal government passed the REAL ID Act. Under the Act, all 50 states were mandated to complete an upgra... Full story
