Few foodies would admit to using a microwave all that often. But busy weeknights call for some shortcuts, and microwaves can be a home cook's best friend on those evenings when time is of the essence. Cooking with a microwave need not be limited to frozen dinners. Take, for example, this recipe for "Italian Pork Chops" from "Incredibly Easy Italian" (Publications International, Ltd.). Easily prepared in less than 30 minutes, this meal combines home cooking with a shortcut...
The San Diego County Water Authority approved three professional services contracts to conduct condition assessments of pipelines in the northern part of the SDCWA’s First Aqueduct. The Sept. 27 CWA board vote authorized contracts of $2,242,000 to Pipeline Inspection and Condition Analysis Corporation, $1,001,000 to Pure Technologies U.S. Inc. and $480,000 to Diakont Advanced Technologies Inc. The contract with Diakont is for a four-year period while the other two contracts are for four-year periods with an option to renew fo...
On Nov. 6, we have the privilege and obligation to vote. It is your opportunity to speak your mind. There are two initiatives that I have previously written about, on the statewide ballot, that could dramatically affect housing opportunities, private property rights and the availability of affordable housing. Prop 10, the so-called “Affordable Housing Act,” would make the housing crisis worse by repealing the long-standing Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, eventually allowing... Full story
TEMECULA – Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees and garden beds will winter successfully. A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot o...
Looks like the valley is back to a period of more normal temperatures for this time of year, but the Santa Ana winds could show up anytime now. Gardeners should make sure to check the irrigation system if they haven't after the heat of summer. Roses should be actively recovering from the recent light fall pruning. Last month I gave illustrations and descriptions for mid-season pruning with a suggested timeline for pruning and restarting a feeding program. What may not have...
Testing for the future Camp Pendleton seawater desalination plant has been suspended. The San Diego County Water Authority did not take a vote at the Sept. 27 SDCWA board meeting, but a presentation by CWA water resources department senior engineer Jeremy Crutchfield at the CWA’s Water Planning Committee that day said that the demand from the State Lands Commission for an Environmental Impact Report would require beyond what has been budgeted for the testing. “We hit the pause button,” Crutchfield said. The Camp Pendl...
Inglis Carre', M.F.A. Special to the Village News I spend extra time standing in front of Matisse's "Woman With A Hat" every time I go the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I study her big dark eyes which looked on as Modern Art took its first awkward steps, and I wonder if she had any idea of the cataclysmic effect that would be produced by her debut showing in 1905 in Paris. When Gertrude Stein and her brother, Leo, first came to Paris from California, they strolled into...

Delainy Reinard BHS Senior Bonsall Unified School District Superintendent David Jones conducted a Community Collaborative Discussion, Sept. 27, to share information about Measure EE. About 60 community members attended. Jones said that BUSD is pursuing Measure EE because, “It is the responsible thing to do educate the children of BUSD in facilities conducive to learning.” He said that it is not a responsible thing to intermix 18-year-old boys with 11-year-old girls on a daily basis on the same campus. In 2012, the res...
J.R. Martinez never wanted to be a motivational speaker, he said. It was never in his plans. But the wounded U.S. Army veteran, actor, advocate and best-selling author found himself center stage, Oct. 2, at Live Well San Diego Advance, telling his story and inspiring the estimated 1,300 attendees to take control of their lives and use their personal stories as fuel to help others in the San Diego community. The advance was all about "Connecting the Unconnected to Live Well"...

SAN DIEGO – During the month of October, deputies have the option of wearing a pink version of their uniform patch. The patches spark conversation with the public and bring attention to the fight against breast cancer during the awareness month. The hashtag #PinkPatchProject started with the Seal Beach Police Department in Orange County in 2013 and is now a nationwide effort. It is the second year the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is participating in the public awareness campaign. For $10 each, the public can pur...
FALLBROOK – Members of Troop 731 of Boy Scouts of America recently learned how to fish with both standard rods and fly fishing rods. Tom Gillcrist, who is a Boy Scout merit badge counselor in fishing and fly fishing, taught the scouts. The scouts were able to learn fishing knots and how to assemble the rod, use the rod and catch a fish. All of the fish that were caught at the Grand Tradition were released back into the lake. Thanks to the generosity of the Grand Tradition, the scouts were able to fish and complete this m...

On Sept. 28, Bonsall High School's cross country team participated in the Coach Downey XC Classic meet at Morley Field in San Diego. Unlike a regular meet, invitationals allow multiple schools of different divisions to compete, and do not count towards CIF. It's a great opportunity for cross country runners to light-heartedly practice in a competitive atmosphere. Bonsall High's Division 5 team, whose boys varsity made their way to the 2017 CIF State Championships, ran the...
Fallbrook netter Savannah Homuth was among the division winners at the 33rd annual Fallbrook Fall Junior Satellite Tournament which was played Sept. 7-9 at the Fallbrook Tennis Club.

Savannah Homuth and Jones had advanced to the final with a...

Ever since the San Luis Rey Downs Golf & Country Club closed in August of 2014, the property has drawn the ire of homeowners in the area. Run-down buildings, graffiti and no landscaping maintenance to be found – the property has seen better days. But thanks to Myrtle Creek Botanical Gardens & Nursery, the property will undergo a renaissance in the coming months to become the company's second location in the area. They plan to open in early 2019. "Myrtle Creek's vision is to b...
