Other facts

The following was submitted by Mark Muir:

We can continue to protect our treasured quality of life and the unique character of our five communities through fiscal prudence, environmental stewardship, and fair and equitable application of the General Plan. As a former Encinitas Fire Chief and current Councilmember, I have served you for 35 years, working to build a safe, beautiful, and sustainable community. I have voted for a balanced budget with performance measurements, pension reform, Encinitas Community Park for our families, better beaches, increased public safety, responsible growth, clean and reliable water, and reduced traffic impacts in our neighborhoods.

Over the last decade, I have served on many community regional boards including: San Dieguito and Olivenhain Water Districts, San Diego County Water Authority, San Diego North Economic Development Council, and San Diego Association of Governments. The San Diego Taxpayers Association's
Golden Watchdog Award" recognized my efforts in saving millions in taxpayer dollars. The Encinitas Chamber of Commerce honored me as a "Community Hero" and the New Encinitas Network named me a "Top 25 Leader in the Past 25 Years."

Please join Encinitas citizens, community and regional leaders in supporting my candidacy, including former Encinitas Mayors James Bond, Rick Shea, Anne Omsted, along with the Deputy Sheriff's Association and the Encinitas Firefighters Association.

Ciao Pam! Grazie per il tuo bel commento! / Thanks for your nice comment! Hope your trip to ItaliaRead More was fabulous. Buona giornata :)

Took this class before a trip to Italy. Very fun and was able to learn quickly with the way theRead More class was taught. Great instructor and wonderful insights. You will enjoy it if you ever wanted to learn Italian. Caio!

This is wonderful news. Congratulations to the students, their instructors and Academy staffRead More members -- and to the supportive parents. A theatre education is the best!

Hi Edward, I didn't hear any reports on the scanner or from sources of crashes, rescues or hardRead More landings.
John E May 20, 2013 at 09:33 am
The public deserves an objective, unemotional, factual public debate on this proposition. So far IRead More am still leaning toward a yes vote, but I am keeping an open mind at least through this month.

That may very well have been part of it. Grandma had an affinity for liquor as well, but grandpaRead More hated alcohol with a passion and wouldn't allow a single drop of it in the house. Sometimes the man's leadership is essential.

Aunt Judy was probably a very lonely person and turned to comfort in a bottle. What a darn shame.
Batman May 23, 2013 at 06:37 pm
And you know what ladies, if you don't like Batman's way you don't have to do it Batman's way. ThisRead More is America, not Batmerica, and it's not Flanderstan either. My grandmother's sister decided to become a career woman instead of geting married and having a family. She started and ran a very successful accounting business, back in the 1930s! So who needs Flanders and his women's lib? There's nothing standing in your way, there never has been. Flanders and the rest are lying to you. Aunt Judy did become an alcoholic though and died rather young because of it. Would that have been different if she had been a family woman? Nobody knows.

Stopped by Sunday to take a Look, very nice homes, good location, fair asking price, should sellRead More well...!!!

Well said, Nama. I was speechless to see how many people Uncle Ben had influenced during his life,Read More but it's no wonder. There may be one less Ben Taylor in our lives, but Heaven just got a whole lot more fun!
