More than 2,000 electrical customers were without power in Fallbrook, Ramona and other nearby areas for part of Friday afternoon, though a utility official said the outages were unrelated to ongoing concerns about fire weather in the region. A total of 1,293 customers in Fallbrook, Rainbow, Bonsall and Pala, along with 886 customers in and around Ramona, found their power knocked out just around 12:10 p.m., according to San Diego Gas and Electric's online outage map. Power was later restored to all but about 100 customers in... Full story
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Friday co-authored by three San Diego lawmakers that will ban the sale of guns and ammunition at gun shows at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Assembly members Todd Gloria, D-San Diego, and Tasha Boerner-Horvath, D-Encinitas, introduced Assembly Bill 893 in February to bar the state's 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees operations at the fairgrounds, from authorizing the sale of guns and ammunition on fairgrounds...

The San Diego County board of supervisors approved a time extension for the Brook Hills Unit 2 development. The supervisors’ 4-0 vote, Sept. 25, with Greg Cox in Washington, extends the date by which the infrastructure must be completed to Sept. 25, 2021. The time extension covers completion of road, water, sewer and other infrastructure improvements but does not require completion of the homes or other lot improvements. A tentative parcel map becomes a final map after all conditions of the tentative map, other than those f...

The compromise motion passed with an 11-7 vote. The city of Chula Vista abstained while the opposition was from the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, I...
I promised you last week that I would have some good news to report from my week at the California Association of Realtors meetings in Los Angeles. First is a little history lesson. In 2017, CAR embarked on a project designed to expand the Proposition 13 protections that exist for seniors when they sell their primary residence and purchase a replacement property in California. CAR's goal was to provide an opportunity for every homeowner to be able to sell their primary... Full story
AD-75 (R) - Synchronizing traffic lights will not only reduce the time we sit at traffic lights, but will also reduce tons of emissions with benefits to business and our economy. In response to a study conducted in Salinas, California, five intersections on their main street had installed traffic signal synchronization and saved 15.8 tons of greenhouse gas emissions in one year. Not to mention the cost benefit ratio of 50:1. Studies show that synchronization projects can... Full story
Joseph Bast and Dr. Roy Spencer Special to Village News Editor’s Note: This 2014 essay from the Wall Street Journal is being reprinted with permission and is the basis for the opinion piece, “Another point of view: Is global warming worth the anxiety on our young people?” published in the Sept. 26 edition of Village News. Secretary of State John Kerry recently warned graduating students at Boston College of the “crippling consequences” of climate change. “Ninety-seven percent of the world’s scientists tell us this is urgent,...

While everyone wants the best possible fire service, the new North County Fire Protection District proposal of a special tax at a flat rate $5 per month per parcel to be voted Oct. 24 is one more thing added to the growing numbers of small taxes being levied on the public. The goal of raising $1 million per year is likely realistic and will likely be put to good use, but it is again, one more tax. I believe the resources needed are available with just a bit of rerouting. I’ve made this proposal to the San Diego Country b... Full story
Thank you, Julie Reeder, for questioning the worrying statements made by campaigners to school children (future voters and taxpayers), filling them with fear of a man-made climate apocalypse. I too am skeptical. The Earth’s inhabitants are, happily, enjoying a warm period on our planet. Google climate charts for the last 400,000 years and take a look. There have been many warm periods over that time frame. Meanwhile we’re seeing a rise in carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions. CO2 is a gas that warms the atmosphere, protecting us... Full story
We read with disappointment your editorial on your National News page about your views on climate change. You implied that activists like Al Gore are riling up young people for no good reason because the facts are in dispute. The fact that global warming is caused by carbon emissions and the results are catastrophic for life on the planet is not in dispute. The only fact in dispute is whether we have reached the tipping point of no return or whether we can act fast enough to maintain a planet that is habitable for mammals and... Full story
The Fallbrook Regional Health District is proud to discuss its partnership with North County Fire Protection District. While the district could point out several incorrect statements in Mr. Bissinger’s opinion and everyone is invited to contact the district for clarification, what’s most important is to demonstrate the depth and breadth of the district’s long-standing support of North County Fire. In 1999, when Community Health Systems entered into the lease to operate Fallbrook Hospital, the district began a compe... Full story

It’s a sham election. With 100 employees, the fire department has an automatic several hundred yes votes. What percentage of ballots sent should be received back to make a valid election? Nowhere has that been indicated. Remember, the taxing agency is the one counting the ballots. There is no oversight committee present. Rene Cousteau... Full story
FALLBROOK – The Listening Enterprise is an undertaking by Fallbrook resident Janel Carlin. As someone who has served in many roles where she was sought for advice, she said she found that listening was transformational. It’s new, but it’s old; this business of listening, Carlin said. “Maybe your mother told you that we were born with two ears and one mouth because we are to do twice as much listening as we are talking,” Carlin said. She agreed that it is true maybe 90% of the time. “But, what does one do with what is wit...

TEMECULA – If those on Medicare, it is important to read the annual notification of change, health plan or Part D plan each year to see if there are any significant changes. Seniors cannot assume that things will remain the same. Each year the health plans change their benefits in order to attract Medicare beneficiaries to their plan. Sometimes they add benefits in one area by decreasing coverage in another. It is important to decide which benefits matter most personally and start there. Not all plans are contracted with a...

It can cause a great deal of fear and anxiety for the person. As a result, here are six easy steps a person can follow when a panic attack strikes unexpectedly and how to overcome anxiety. 1. Take A Break: The first thing a person must do when experiencing a panic attack is to stop whatever they are doing. A panic attack can be very uncomfortable and can affect a p...
A person's DNA is the result of their parents with some traits being more obviously handed down than others. For example, eye color, hair color or the way their face might be shaped or any combination of those, are qualities from their parents. Genetically passed down traits are mostly physical. These include health factors such as high blood pressure or even mental illnesses. Most people wouldn't associate lifestyle choices and behaviors as being inherited, but actually some...
Sarah Sweeney County of San Diego Communications Office In the midst of record-setting prescription drug deaths, San Diego County has received a grant from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to strengthen efforts in the local fight against opioids. The $6.5 million grant, over three years, is part of a $1.8 billion national push by the federal Department of Health and Human Services to combat opioid addiction and deaths. San Diego County was one of 16 cities or...
FALLBROOK – Homeowners often take steps to winterize the interior of their homes in the fall before winter's arrival, but such efforts should extend to the outside of a home as well. Decks make for great gathering places when the weather permits. Decks are where many people spend their free time and eat their meals come spring and summer, when the temperatures climb and the sun sets well into the evening. But as summer turns to fall, homeowners must take measures to protect t...
SAN MARCOS – From award-winning "green" buildings to solar energy to high-efficiency LED lighting, Palomar College is reducing its carbon footprint by slashing the amount of electricity that's needed to operate a college campus. "As one of the largest institutions in North County, Palomar College is leading the way in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by implementing strategic upgrades that are better for the college, and ultimately better for the environment," Joi Lin B...
Special to Village News The next two weeks’ weather forecast looks like southwest Riverside County is back to a period of more normal temperatures for this time of year, but Santa Ana winds could show up anytime now. Gardeners should make sure to check their irrigation system if they haven’t after the heat of summer. Roses should be actively recovering from the light fall pruning they received in September. I gave instructions for midseason pruning with a suggested tim... Full story
