  • Re: "NCFPD moves forward to secure Station 5 financing" [Village News, 9/5/2013]

    Updated Sep 19, 2013

    I read with great interest that the NCFPD was unable to further lower costs for the long delayed Station # 5. The Sept. 5 article stated the current bid cost is about $4.7 million, which was about 34 percent higher than the 2010 estimate of $3.5 million. The article claimed the cost increase was due to inflation in construction costs. A quick review of the nationally published cost indices for San Diego for the same period of time indicated that costs have increased about 2 percent per year over the same period or a total cos...

  • Paving contractors did great job

    Updated Sep 19, 2013

    Like many neighborhoods around Fallbrook with private roads, ours are maintained by the homeowners, not the county. Our neighborhood is fortunate to have a road agreement that collects needed funds to cover most of the streets. We recently needed to re-seal our road and used two different contractors to perform the work. The first contractor, Greg Farkas from Greg’s Sealcoating out of San Marcos (license #512083) did a wonderful job on the skin patching and sealing. We had one stretch in especially poor condition and he a...

    Updated Sep 19, 2013

    SAN DIEGO – One truism of most modern Western societies is that men die at higher rates than women for all the top 10 causes of death, as compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that – on average – men also tend to die younger than women. Are men “stuck” because of their genetics, or can they take steps that will help them to be healthier? The good news is that many of the top causes of death... Full story
