Accounts of experiences with the October 2003 wildfires in San Diego County revealed that many citizens who remained in mandatory evacuation areas did so not because they felt they had a better chance of saving their homes, but because they were unable to leave. Such were the situations of the man whose truck would not start, the man whose vehicle had enough gas to refuel at the local gas station which was closed but not enough gas to reach a gas station past the evacuation area, and the 15-year-old without a driver's...

We moved to Bonsall 17 years ago because we love the rural feel of this area. Knowing Fallbrook and Bonsall were growing towns, we were also excited to learn about the possibility of a future high school within walking distance of our neighborhood. Almost a decade later voters agreed, and Bonsall New Tech High School opened in 2014, welcoming the first class of 2018. Currently sharing the Sullivan middle school campus on Lilac, BHS needs to officially relocate to the corner of Gird Road and Hwy 76 to accommodate the growing...

SACRAMENTO – Governor Brown vetoed Senate Bill 1288 by Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), Sept. 29, which would have changed the current voting system by allowing cities and counties to conduct ranked choice voting.

A ranked choice voting system could allow candidates with a small number of first-place votes to win despite being unpopular among constituents. In addition, this system would have increased costs to gather new equipment and to educate the public o...
