FALLBROOK – Over the objections of most water agencies in the San Diego region, including the Fallbrook Public Utility District and Rainbow Municipal Water District, the San Diego County Water Authority has decided to continue pursuing a controversial $5 billion water project that would be paid for by the region’s water customers. The project, known as the Regional Conveyance System, would result in significantly higher water bills for Fallbrook and Rainbow ratepayers, yet would provide no benefit to them. “I’ve seen a lot of...

Republican state lawmakers in Pennsylvania Monday, Nov. 30, introduced a resolution to dispute the results of the 2020 election. The text of the resolution, first previewed in a memo Nov. 27, showed that the executive and judicial branches of the Keystone State's government usurped the legislature's constitutional power to set the rules of the election. "Officials in the Executive and Judicial Branches of the Commonwealth infringed upon the General Assembly's authority under...
Free books? A local Fallbrook resident marks the first year of the opening of her free little library, in which anyone can come by and get a book or give a book at her outside bookcase. Kathaleen Quinlan, who has lived at her current residence in Fallbrook for the past 52 years, first saw the idea of a little library from her niece five years prior. She had loved the idea but didn't know how she'd be able to make it work, due to the lack of sidewalks and street lights. "Three...
Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning in defense of Gov. Gavin Newsom who recently defied his own idiotic COVID-19 edicts as he partied at one of the few restaurants that he has not yet forced out of business. I defend him because he was doing what we all once did in a free society: make our own decisions over what risks we are willing to run and what precautions we are willing to take according to our own circumstances to protect our own health. Yes, COVID-19 is a nasty bug, and...
The Regional Water Quality Control Board rescinded the waste discharge order for Oak Knoll Campground in Pauma Valley. The unanimous RWQCB vote Nov. 18 does not eliminate the waste discharge restrictions but rather incorporates the campground into San Diego County’s Local Agency Management Plan for on-site wastewater treatment systems. The discharge requirements will be regulated by what is currently the county’s Department of Environmental Health. On Dec. 9, the county Board of Supervisors will consider changing the nam...

Nov. 28 was ‘Small Business Saturday,’ a day to patronize local small businesses. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Without them, our state and national economies will never recover. My husband and I have owned our own small business for over 25 years, I know how hard it is to keep a business going in California. Costly, overbearing regulations, high taxes and fees, high rents, energy bills, all make doing business in this state a challenge. Now the pan...
I personally would like to thank everyone in our village who helped Fallbrook Scarecrow Days survive and thrive Oct. 1-31, especially the chamber staff which went out of their way to support us. We must especially thank those businesses who enjoyed our rental crows, complimented us about the silent people, liked flagpole pumpkin heads, a crow skeleton and Village Square Jack Skellington as well as all the neighbors who jumped on board this year with personal spook- tacular displays. The chamber and the entire town deserves...
Those of you who voted for the Biden-Harris agenda, hold on to your heart, your guns and your money. Away goes our 2nd amendment; watch out for amnesty for illegals, defunding of the police, uptick in violence, acquiescence to China – even after the CCP virus was unleashed on the world. Biden is a "globalist." President Trump is pro-America. That is what "we the people" voted for in 2016. I voted for that then and am one of the 74 million people of America who have been praying to God for a Trump resolution to the 2020 c...
The earth keeps giving and we keep on receiving. The oranges, lemons, tomatoes are still bearing fruit. I am grateful for having grown up where my early life was walking barefoot, with the beauty of the land, the mountains and oceans adding to life and living. A few days ago, a news person asked persons in the food line what were their thoughts. One said, “I’m thankful for having a home I can return to.” Another: “I’m thankful I can walk.” Still another: “I’m thankful for my health.” A number of years ago our son was visit...
I don’t think there’s ever been a more important Thanksgiving than this year. Now more than ever is a time for reflection, for sitting down and thinking about all the things for which we are grateful. I was grateful to sit down with my family this year, have a wonderful meal and just spend time with each other. It’s been a hectic year and we haven’t had enough opportunity to all sit down, talk about our lives and be together. I was grateful to talk to my extended family...

Cybersecurity expert and retired Army Col. Phil Waldron testified in front of members of the Arizona State legislature Monday, Nov. 30. Waldron presented an analysis of data that shows a vote spike on Election Day shortly after counting started. “Arizona was a little bit different. It had a pretty strong rise right up at the front, the first part of voting day, whereas the other states have a gradual increase in votes. But this injection spike at 8:06 p.m. … is 143,100 votes that were injected, that was in excess of what the...

This is the time of year that everyone talks about gratitude. It’s as if there’s an obligation to bring it up because, after all, we have a holiday named after it, Thanksgiving. My first thought is, what a shame that we don’t talk about gratitude more regularly. It can’t possibly be that we as a people are only grateful from November to December each year, and the rest of the time, we’re just ______, fill in the blank. Thanksgiving does remind us to be grateful. I’m thankful...

Weighing in on this topic is Dr. Nancy Klimas, who has advised three Secretaries of Health and Human Services serving the United States. Klimas received international recognition for her research and clinical work in multi-symptom disorders....
FALLBROOK – Crossword puzzles are one of the most popular pastimes in the world. Crosswords are square grids made up of white- and black-shaded squares. The goal is to fill in all of the letters to form words and phrases that work both vertically and horizontally. The grid varies based on the country of origin. Certain grids also have 180-degree rotational symmetry so that the pattern appears the same if the paper is turned upside down. Historians are uncertain about who c...
