VC Municipal Water District (VCMWD) could annex the tiny San Luis Rey Municipal Water District and provide service to the 1,150-home Pardee development near I-15 if LAFCO decides that’s the best option. LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) is a state commission that oversees boundaries of special districts. Representatives of Pardee Homes, who want water and sewer services for the proposed Meadowood development, spoke to the VC water board on Oct. 17 about the possibility of VCMWD providing such service.

A power failure at a Camp Pendleton pump station caused a 34,000-gallon sewage spill September 13 which led to the contamination of Lake O’Neill, but subsequent testing determined that the lake was free of the sewage contamination by early October. Warning signs noting the sewage contamination of the water had been posted at the lake’s campground and fishing areas September 13, and those signs were taken down after the testing revealed that the contamination no longer existed. The sewage spill was attributed to lightning whi...

From the shady veranda of the main building that houses the Bentley family, and home to Bentley Tropicals and More, the view is of a tropical rain forest. Tall stands of Foxtail, Kentia and Cuban Royal Palms grown organically from seed and acclimated to Fallbrook’s sunny weather stand ready for a landscaper’s truck. Beside those, 15-gallon containers of Black Beauty Taro and the burgundy-tipped leaves of red ornamental banana, stand out against a background of rustling Painted Bamboo fronds. “We have everything a lands...

With a sweep of Santa Margarita River views from their windows, Christopher Pardell and partner Kathy McNeeley live in a rustic contemporary home on two hillside acres. However, both are so deeply involved in art interests that they don’t find much time to sit around and enjoy the ever-changing scenery. More often they’ll be found in the two down-slope buildings where the offices and creative studios are located. Pardell, who is currently involved with a project planned for Temecula’s Ronald Reagan Sports Park, has been...
Recently my husband and I had the pleasure of reliving our first trip to Europe through a diary that you-know-who wrote. Fortunately I was mature enough to note the place, weather and what we saw as well as what and where we dined. We were almost licking our lips to recall the first time we both tasted REAL French onion soup at Les Halles at 3 in the morning (Les Halles being the food market area of Paris, and the cafés there catering not to us tourists but to the workers). These were the meat cutters, the fish mongers, the...

Wherever you go, there you are. Or so we’d all like to think. But it’s actually possible to be absent your entire life. We certainly take up space -- more all the time, in some cases. We function: get up, feed the kids, go to work, come home, feed the kids, think about exercising, watch “Seinfeld” reruns instead, feel guilty, stuff our faces with junk, feel guilty, go to bed. We’re physically present. But mentally and emotionally, we’re often somewhere else: distracted, detached, lost in thought, lost in space. “Where your...
