With Fallbrook Union Elementary School District Governing Board members Siegrid Stillman and Lisa Masten not running for re-election, that leaves two vacancies on the board this November. And while Stillman and Masten were elected to their seats at-large – that is, representing the entire district – 2020 will be the first year in which FUESD elects its board members on a trustee area system. The seats in trustee areas 2 and 3 are the ones up for election this year. Vil...

Democratic Congressman Mike Levin, whose district includes portions of Orange and San Diego counties, Friday, Oct. 23 introduced federal legislation that would require the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to keep a resident inspector at nuclear power plants being decommissioned until all spent fuel is transferred from spent fuel pools to canisters, his office said. "While the NRC refused to implement a resident inspector at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station during its spent fuel transfer process, Levin's legislation...

"The Governor's Office of Emergency Services is working closely with local, state, federal law enforcement as well as private s...
The county's Traffic Advisory Committee recommended lowering the speed limit on McDonald Road from 45 mph to 40 mph. A unanimous TAC vote Oct. 23 recommended that the San Diego County Board of Supervisors lower the speed limit on McDonald Road between Fallbrook Street and Pepper Tree Lane while retaining radar certification for that 1.0-mile segment. The county supervisors are expected to consider the speed limit reduction Feb. 10. In order for a speed limit to be enforceable by radar, a speed survey must show that the speed...
BERGEN COUNTY, N.J. – While 2020 has been a scary year, October’s spooky season is in full effect. According to Rebecca Gramuglia, a consumer expert at TopCashback.com, 64% of Americans still plan to celebrate Halloween this year with 62% celebrating from home. The survey “Trick-or-Treat... Steal My Treats?” polled a cross section of 1,637 adults, aged 18 and over. Do you steal candy from your child’s Halloween haul? Parents answered yes (82%) or no (18%). On average how much of your child’s candy haul do you keep for yo...
Many people, veterans and families have made serious, meaningful and permanent sacrifices for their country. The least we can do is vote and there are record numbers of people voting this year. True or false, because of the many issues we've heard about across the country with ballots and voter fraud, many people are still expected to stand in line and vote in person. This is despite there being fewer polling places locally, so the lines may be quite long. My mom recently...
When the Fallbrook/Bonsall area excels, for example by succeeding in the war against the virus as compared to the county as a whole, it would be nice to see those statistics reported in this, our local newspaper, if nowhere else. Up until and including the Oct. 8 issue, I could always find the number of new cases reported for our two ZIP codes: 92028 and 92003. However, the last two issues failed to report the local counts that contribute to these very important metrics, which have been dropping steadily since July in our...
Last week’s full page article, written by my neighbor Dolly Harty, tells the story about how our extended neighborhood has found a way to safely socialize during the pandemic by participating in a weekly neighborhood walk with live music and socially-distanced conversation. It’s typical of Dolly that she did not take credit for this idea – she uses the word “we” often. There are many caring neighbors in this community that surrounds the old Fallbrook Golf Course, now Monserate Winery. A few of those neighbors are directly...
As we now come upon the seventh month of lockdowns in San Diego County, I see us getting further and further away from our original goal. As I’m writing this, COVID-19 patients make up 5% of current hospitalizations, which is a credit to our public health officials and the people of San Diego. We have done an outstanding job of protecting our most vulnerable. While positive cases may be rising, our hospital capacity remains strong. However, businesses are still suffering. W...
WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice recently announced a global resolution of its criminal and civil investigations into the opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma LP, and a civil resolution of its civil investigation into individual shareholders from the Sackler family. The resolutions with Purdue are subject to the approval of the bankruptcy court. “The abuse and diversion of prescription opioids has contributed to a national tragedy of addiction and deaths, in addition to those caused by illicit street opioids,” said Deput...
NEW YORK – American Universities failed to report $6.5 billion in foreign gifts and contracts, an investigation by the Department of Education found. Federal law requires schools to disclose substantial foreign gifts and contracts to the Department of Education twice a year. Many have for years failed to do so, while others severely underreported the income. The deluge of the financial disclosures poured in as the department opened investigations into 12 elite universities. Universities reported receiving a total of more than...
WASHINGTON – The FBI warns the public of the potential threat of individuals posing as minors on popular social media or social networks to lure victims in lieu of immediate, in person ruse with the intent to abduct. Due to COVID-19 related school closures, minors likely will be at greater risk for encountering offenders online as they seek to occupy their free time with increased social media use. Definition The FBI defines child abduction as the unexplained disappearance of a minor, especially very young minors (generally,...

4 started out as a year poised for some great reform in the housing arena. The California State Legislators sponsored multiple bills focused on streamlining the process to expedite housing development as well as modifications to zoning to allow for additional housing along transit corridors. The bills were crafted to provide solutions to the lack of housing supply. Then COVID-19 arrived, and all legislative plans shifted focus on emergency response to the virus. The...

If you were hoping that this was going to be the year of government action to lower prescription drug prices, I’m here to say that is not going to happen – even though the House of Representatives passed far-reaching legislation almost a year ago that would allow Medicare to begin negotiating drug prices for beneficiaries. Recall that the 2003 law that made possible a prescription drug benefit for older adults prohibits the government from negotiating with drug companies in order to lower prices. The Senate has not taken up...
FALLBROOK – Seniors who are considering moving to a retirement community may be reluctant to uproot their lives during the middle of a pandemic. However, for residents at Silvergate Fallbrook, the protection and security measures afforded by the senior living community have instilled a sense of security as they navigate a new normal in retirement living. There may be no better time than right now to move into to Silvergate, according to Allen and Sally Cook, residents who have...
