I would like to share with you some information on a local candidate running for the Fallbrook Planning Group. Stephani Baxter took over a seat midterm due to a resignation on the planning board. She has done an exceptional job so far working on a multitude of subcommittees. She is involved in the planning of the Fallbrook Skate Park and the expansion of trail access throughout Fallbrook; she is the docent coordinator at Live Oak Park; she sits on the Parks and Rec subcommittee and the Design Review subcommittee. Stephani is...
I’m writing this letter to express my support and to urge Fallbrook voters to consider supporting Collin Stephens who is running for the Community Planning Group. While the state of politics in our country is concerning, this nonpartisan office should be filled by someone who can see all sides of an issue – this, Collin will do. While Collin and I do not see eye to eye on every issue, we always exchange ideas freely and respectfully – a concept that seems so far away from today’s political climate. If you want to see where h...
We can’t trust most news shows to give us balanced true stories. It’s all about ratings. That is why I listen to news conferences and hearings pertaining to things that are important to me, like Supreme Court hearings, impeachment hearings, etc. While listening to the Muller hearings, the inspector general’s report on the origins of the FBI’s Russia inquiry and the impeachment hearings, I was amazed at how incompetent and criminal the FBI and the intelligence agencies were. T...
Stephani Baxter, a local farmer, is an outstanding young entrepreneur and volunteer running for a seat on the Fallbrook Community Planning Group. I have had the pleasure of working with Stephani on various volunteer projects to improve our Village and help businesses thrive. She is a hard-working woman of integrity and character. Stephani has proven her commitment to our community through her countless volunteer efforts to ensure that Fallbrook maintains its rural, small town charm. She will bring this same ability,...
“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist,” “The Usual Suspects.” I have always loved that quote. It is one that continually enters my head when reading through the myriad news, so-called news and social media posts that have overwhelmed my life on a daily basis. And this is not me whining about it, this is my job, it’s what I do and what I love. But finally, for me at least, the constant premeditated state of chaos coming out of the people’s house in Washington D.C. that has beco...
I am a longtime resident of Fallbrook that lives in NCFPD – District 1. There are few residents of Fallbrook that care about Fallbrook as much as David Kennedy does. Over the years of knowing ‘Davey,’ I’ve come to realize how dedicated he is when he sets out to accomplish something. Please join me in supporting David Kennedy for NCFPD – District 1. Andy Meier...
What Fallbrook is seeing at this moment is nothing less than history in the making – for the first time ever, folks will have elected officials who represent them in each of the local political offices. People throughout Fallbrook worked diligently in 2018 and 2019 to access this voting right. With David Kennedy in District #1 of NCFPD, we will have a dedicated elected official with a commitment to serve Fallbrook and to be held accountable to the district he will serve. He is someone who will apply himself, collaborate, s...
Since Mrs. Eryn’s time at Bonsall High School was reduced, I have noticed that some things haven’t been as neat or organized. She has been so busy that she isn’t able to attend to all her students, this includes herself. This significantly affects her students because they cannot speak to her at the moment the question or a situation presents itself. The reason I included her in the issue is because her mental and physical health is greatly impacted by the overload of work. As a student I couldn't say I understand her stres...
As firefighters, we are on the front lines every day protecting our community from every type of emergency from wildland fires to COVID-19. All we ask is that we have a North County Fire Board of Directors that has our backs so we can continue to provide the high level of fire and emergency medical service you have come to expect. On Nov. 3, your Fallbrook Firefighters respectfully request you vote for David Kennedy for North County Fire Board of Directors. Ryan Lewis President Fallbrook Firefighters Assoc...
Since Joe Biden’s nomination for the president of the United States, I have rarely heard anyone on the left state why Biden deserves to be president. Rather, I only hear about the reasons why Trump is not fit for office along with the abundance of contempt the left has for him. Even in the best laid arguments for welfare or foreign policy, nearly every single Biden pundit mandates the use of Trump’s name in their reasoning to vote for Biden. This strategy will cost Biden the election, and social media is a poignant dec...

Voter booklets are out. Ballots are out. It's time to get serious about the propositions on November's ballot. There are three that potentially impact real estate and your property values. The first one is Proposition 15. It has a title that is very misleading. It makes you think that it is all about funding our schools. The revenue created, if Prop 15 were to pass, would largely go to the schools but at the cost of commercial property owners across the state. It would change...
Trump, upon his return to the White House from Walter Reed Hospital, said: "Don't be afraid of the coronavirus [COVID-19], don't let it dominate your lives." To see video: Google (or other browser): "Trump tells supporters 'don't be afraid of coronavirus in new video" This is absolutely beyond the pale. From the start, Trump has flouted the recommendations of the CDC and continues to set a horrible example for his followers. Thanks to his failure to lead, there are now more than 200,000 Americans who don’t have to ...
What’s the big deal of having Supreme Court justices who base their decisions on the Constitution? Your rights are protected by the Supreme Court. Not the politicians. The Founding Fathers had seen tyrannical governments and that’s why they created our freedoms as God given, not granted by politicians who are concerned with their own power. You have the right of peaceful assembly which is essential to the other rights but stands alone. You have the right to free speech, fre...
“We the People,” just three words boldly written by our founders in the Constitution defining us, reminding us of our shared national origin. A people of many faces from many places but ultimately bound together by our shared ideals. For the first time in history, government's power is restricted and emanates from the governed's consent. Never before had individual rights been so coveted and cherished with absolute preference over government decrees and edicts, indeed a unique experiment of epic proportions. With unp...
Life is about managing risks. Every time we leave our house, there is some risk involved. Unfortunately, accidents happen all the time and can devastate families. However, every day we weigh different options and outcomes based on the risks. This leads me to our current situation. COVID-19 isn’t going away any time soon, so we are left with two options, stay inside, or learn to live with the virus. As I wrote about last week, vaccines usually take years to develop and even i...
In 2016, my wife and I happened to be taking a drive across the country in our 35 foot fifth wheel trailer. Our destination was to visit our daughter and her family in Michigan. While traveling in this manner, you have occasion to meet a variety of folks from other parts of America. Mainly we stayed in both recreational vehicle parks and state or national parks. It’s a great way to really see and hear how people live and what they think about the country. Well, we got an earful as we talked and shared a laugh or a beer w...
When an editorial title catches my eye, the first thing I do is look to see who wrote it. The subject editorial was written by Eleanor Krasne of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank that is paid to produce “studies” that denigrate liberals and liberal policies. The purpose of Krasne’s editorial is to delegitimize the use of Critical Race Theory as a tool and, more importantly, to delegitimize its finding that racial bias is still embedded in our educational, social, and legal systems. Krasne would have you b...
SACRAMENTO – A measure by State Senator Brian Jones (R-Santee) to reduce the licensing burden on working Californians was signed into law last night by Governor Gavin Newsom. Jones' Senate Bill 878 will ease licensing burdens for California workers who are required to be licensed by the Department of Consumer Affairs. "I appreciate the Governor recognizing that this measure is greatly needed to help Californians awaiting their professional license approval from the state," said Jones. "After working hard to get an e...
Critical Race Theory (CRT), (including anti-racism and white fragility) is the new religion of the left. Its followers are "woke" and to even question it is to commit heresy. Words are violence. Silence is violence. Young people are "true believers" with a sense of purpose. Group identity of all variables involves a primacy that is contrary to the post-racist society that has been our goal for decades and, in turn, it does damage to the very problem it seeks to oppose. It...
Like a bad penny, the taxers are back with a nefarious scheme called a "split roll" meaning commercial properties will return to the bad old days before Proposition 13 in 1978 leveled the playing field for all property taxpayers. Now the propagandists are calling to "make it fair" by raising property taxes on "only" commercial property – for now. The taxers say "evil fat cat" commercial property owners are getting away with murder. I think the mirror reveals who the truly evil ones are. Poor managers of our hard earned and o...
Two important facts related to the coronavirus suggest that it is time to pay it forward. First, it is known that a large percentage of those carrying the coronavirus have no symptoms and do not realize they are carrying the virus. In addition, many, especially young people, have no fear of the virus, so do not follow the requests for distance and masks. However, it is time for them to recognize these facts and pay it forward to protect their friends and neighbors from the virus they personally may be carrying, not for...
Thanks to RBG and thanks to our women leaders throughout the years. Thanks to those who make us think by their commitment, artistry, consciousness and fortitude. Please don't forget to vote! Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Ida B. Wells, Francis Willard, Eleanor Roosevelt and Ruth Bader Ginsburg would all ask you to, if they were here! Nancy Heins-Glaser Fallbrook AAUW historian...
As we pray for our President and the First Lady, let us remember all of his accomplishments in just 47 months. No President has a record to equal it. It is incumbent on all of us to recognize "Promises made, promises kept." Whether you agree with his style or not, you cannot deny his progress. He does not pretend to be a "polished politician." He is a businessman who gets things done. He demands excellence of himself and those around him. He has every right to speak of his accomplishments because they are evident. Even while...
I’ve repeated this often over the last few months. We have lost sight of the goal. I think it’s reasonable for everyone to take a step back and say how did we end up here? How did we go from we need to flatten the curve in the month of April to, we are going to shut your business down if you decide to stay open? Almost all business owners set goals, they set goals as a way to look towards the future. I look to Sacramento and I wonder, what is the goal? Is it hospital cap...
