The North County Fire Protection District's Proposition A failed to gain the approval of two-thirds of Fallbrook-area voters, according to unofficial results released Wednesday, leaving the future of the 92-year-old district's aging facilities in question. Proposition A would have authorized a new tax of $5 per month, per parcel of owned property for a 20-year period to pay for construction, maintenance and improvements of fire stations in the North County Fire Protection...

AD 75 We’re entering the holiday season, and many people could use a little extra cash. You might be interested to know that California is sitting on unclaimed properties valued at over $9 billion. Please visit www.claimit.ca.gov to see if any of that money belongs to you. Why does California have so much unclaimed property? Under our unclaimed property law, businesses like banks and insurance companies are required to transfer property to the controller’s office if it goes un...
Mr. Lyons, You have made a good argument in your letter to the editor in the Village News that community volunteers need help; however, you cannot hold a gun to our heads to make us do what you want. We all need to give back to our hobbies as our feelings dictate; however, being held up to support other people’s visions is not right. The proposed seven member board at Fallbrook Public Utilities District with two FPUD board members – Charlie Wolf and Dave Baxter have already volunteered and seem to be guaranteed rubber sta...
I am a weary taxpayer. I am becoming wearier every year as every branch of government strives to reach deeper and deeper into my pocket for more taxes while seeking ways to eliminate tax breaks through SALT legislation and repeated attacks on Proposition 13, etc., and inventing ways to spend the extra taxes they collect. Case in point: The Nov. 21 issue of The Village News contained several articles regarding tax dollars searching for projects. The Adult Distracted Driver Campaign is a yearlong program to educate drivers of...
Shortly after university, I was fortunate to join the staff of the renowned architectural firm of Minoru Yamasaki and Associates. I was a lowly draftsman, but was able to observe the design development studies of the World Trade Center as it evolved under the leadership of Mr. Yamasaki (Yama). This was in the early sixties – long before electronic communication that we enjoy today. An office person would take the day’s drawing effort; rolled-up design development prints to the airport for delivery the next morning to Emo...
The Safeguard Our San Diego countryside (Yes on SOS) March 2020 Ballot Measure allows citizens to have a voice on sprawl development. In 2011, a General Plan for the unincorporated county was approved after 13 years of hard work and hundreds of meetings with extensive community and stakeholder input. The General Plan was – and is – the blueprint for how the county will grow into the future. It is the master plan for regional infrastructure (including roads, transit, schools, water and sewer) that saves taxpayers billions by...

I was so glad to see the two letters concerning the Twin Towers in New York. Thank you, Chuck Tillotson and Harry Stitle for revealing the false statements made by the possibly well-meaning Ann Harter. For whatever reasons, she chose to reveal her lack of knowledge of well-known facts about the Twin Towers. Writing should involve some basic research on the subject, and upon completion, both meaningful and accurate details could be revealed. Free speech does include the ability to express inaccurate information, as in her...
District 5 I sound like a broken record, but SANDAG is up to their usual tricks. The latest update comes from SANDAG’s staff and their proposal to use an extra $90 million on bike lanes. Time and time again, I’ve sat in our SANDAG meetings and heard how the road projects the voters were promised, can’t be fulfilled due to a lack of money. A few months ago, we passed an agreement at SANDAG that prioritized SR-52, SR-67 and SR-78, yet when it comes time, this new money is going...
County of San Diego Communications Office The County Board of Supervisors approved funding for four satellite voting locations for the March 2020 Primary Election during a special board meeting Monday, Nov. 18. Traditional polling places will remain in place, but the satellite voting locations will act as offshoots of the Registrar’s office. They will open three days before Election Day and be staffed by Registrar employees. The move came after the recent passage of state Senate Bill 72, which requires the Registrar to a...
LifePointe Church The news on everyone’s mind 210 years ago was Napoleon and the French army sweeping across Europe. It was 1809, and the fall of the mighty Austrian Empire was imminent. Nobody seemed to care about the babies being born that year. But they should have taken notice as William Gladstone in Liverpool, Alfred Lord Tennyson in Lincolnshire, Oliver Wendell Holmes in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Edgar Allen Poe in Boston, as well as Charles Darwin in England were b...

Community Health News Service If you’re buying health insurance on your own this year, the marketplace is more complicated – and dangerous – than ever. Dangerous? How can that be? I’m talking about health insurance, not some sketchy internet site. But the reality is that the scam artists are out in full force, and anyone buying a policy by shopping online had better watch out. There’s a high likelihood you could buy something that won’t provide much coverage, but will shortchange you mightily when you get sick. Pennsylvani...

Nearly 70% of people experience low back pain at least once in their lifetime, and about one-quarter of adults in the United States report experiencing the condition in...
