The county's Planning Commission has approved a replacement of the Verizon wireless communications tower in the 4100 block of Holly Lane in Bonsall. A 6-0 Planning Commission vote Nov. 16, with Michael Edwards absent, modified an existing permit to allow Verizon to remove the existing 54-foot-tall monopole and construct a facility camouflaged as a 60-foot-tall false broadleaf tree. The 15.05-acre parcel has A70 Limited Agriculture zoning, and the first Major Use Permit for that site was issued in March 1991 when the county's...

Fallbrook has a problem with unwanted signs. Usually residents complain about yard sale signs that are illegally placed on poles and then left up too long to boot (long after the sales took place). With the recent elections on Nov. 6, the unwanted signs are now a different kind. Many residents are tired of the seeing campaign signs on roadsides all over town. Bill O'Connor said, "I walk along Old Highway 395, occasionally, and noticed political signs left over from the recent...

Shirley Ann Townsend passed away October 3, 2018. This is her story: It all started on August 27, 1943 in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. Except for some dirt floors and chickens in the yard, my parents, Ralph and Hazel Willene McKinney Crider, had very little. (Mother chose the lesser of two evils in deciding to go by “Willene.”) Since my main attributes were bullheadedness, eating pill bugs and hypnotizing the chickens, I think my parents decided that the one-child rule was eno...

We have direct access to legislative liaisons throughout California’s extensive bureaucracy, and often a quick phone call can cut through the b... Full story
Since Mr. Toney included my name in his Nov. 22 letter to the editor, I would like to respond. I originally believed Bonsall Unified School District had its finances in order and was operating at capacity, facing real needs for building. After much research and time attending meetings, I learned these assumptions were incorrect. After seven years of deficit spending, BUSD is on the State’s Fiscally Challenged List and the State predicts a long-term declining enrollment trend. Reality dictates caution not big building p...

Cash registers ring and sales are glistening, but make sure your shopping is sweet by double-checking those receipts to insure against accidental overcharging by faulty cash register price scanners. OK, so the last part didn’t rhyme, but you get the idea. Overcharging does happen, and the County’s Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures (AWM) wants to make sure that if you’re shopping, you’re checking your receipts. Every year, AWM inspects more than 1,500 local businesses, checking price-scanning devices, scales...
Options to reduce the regulatory burden for those who provide goods or services at community events on commercial agricultural properties were considered by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors at the supervisors' Nov. 14 meeting, and the county supervisors adopted two of the recommendations involving permit fee waivers for pilot programs while sending the other recommendations to county staff for development and environmental review.
