Tw o S a n D i e g o C o u n t y Board of Supervisors actions June 27 addressed the upgrade o f t h e c o u n t y ’s R e g i o n a l Communications System (RCS). One 5-0 vote approved a lease agreement with the Department of the Navy for a radio facility on San Onofre Peak at Camp Pendleton and the other 5-0 vote authorized a contract option to construct a new radio facility in Carlsbad. “Clear communication is crucial during emergencies,” said Supervisor Bill Horn. “The 60foot antenna, generator and utility connections in Carlsbad, along with the public safety radio site at Camp Pendleton, will help our first responders receive immediate reliable information in a disaster situation.” The RCS, which allows emergency and public safety agencies to communicate with each other, was established in 1995. The RCS provides public safety and public service radio communications to San Diego County and Imperial County and includes those two county governments, 24 incorporated cities, fire protection districts, state and Federal agencies, tribal governments, and medical operations. The County of San Diego procured and constructed the RCS and has operated the system

Suggestions made for revitalizing downtown Fallbrook
Residents enjoy the carnival portion of Party Off the Grid, in the Library Plaza, on July 7. More photos from the event will be in the July 20 issue of the Village News. Lucette Moramarco Staff Writer At their June meeting, members of the Fallbrook Revitalization Committee were asked to prioritize what they felt was needed to be done to revitalize downtown Fallbrook. The committee, which is made up of town leaders, had come up with eight suggestions at the May meeting. Roy Moosa, president of Fallbrook Village Association, conducts the monthly revitalization meeting and
announced the results of the poll at the July 6 meeting. Moosa said that they will work on implementing the suggestions one idea at a time. In order of importance, the results are: 1. We need diagonal parking downtown to slow down traffic and make downtown more pedestrian friendly. 2. We need more destination businesses to bring people downtown from other areas. 3. We n e e d “ We l c o m e t o Fallbrook” signs to help
people from out of the area find downtown. 4. We need more outdoor cafés. 5. We need to light up Main Street at night. 6. We need regular events in the Village Square to bring people downtown. 7. We need regular large events in the Library Plaza venue to bring people downtown. 8. We would like to see a Railroad Heritage Park as proposed by the Village Association to help create more things to do downtown.
Summer Movies in the Park comes to Live Oak July 21 Tom Ferrall Staff Writer
Summer Movies in the Park, free events put on by the County of San Diego Parks and Recreation, is celebrating its 10th anniversary of presenting fun family entertainment on warm summer evenings. Live Oak Park will be the venue for the next Summer Movies in the Park in Fallbrook as it will host a screening of “The Secret Life of Pets” Friday, July 21. The movie will be shown on a large screen positioned on the soccer field. According to Johanna Salomon, a Parks Recreational Supervisor who works out of the Fallbrook Community Center, the event will begin at 6:30 p.m. with activities for kids. The movie will be shown at dusk (around 8 p.m.). “We offer a lot of activities for kids – different games and arts and crafts – prior to the movie,” said Salomon. “It’s unstructured play and they get to pick what they want to do.” While the kids play, parents can select their viewing spot, spread out blankets and set up their picnic dinner. “People can bring any food they want,” said Salomon, who added that alcohol is prohibited. “People can bring lawn chairs, but we ask those that do not to sit in front so they don’t block people’s view.” People planning to attend the movie viewing at Live Oak Park should use the entrance located

Other comments made on the survey suggested that Fallbrook’s downtown needs a uniform look, a car museum, a walking tour, bike and walking trails near downtown, and part of Main Avenue closed to make it pedestrian oriented. The recent Party Off the Grid event which used the Bean & Bug parking lot on Main Avenue as well as the Library Plaza for a carnival was an attempt at utilizing downtown in a new way to bring more people there.

Understanding the disturbing rise of incestthemed hardcore porn Submitted by Fight The New Drug
*Editorial Note and Trigger warning: Many readers may find the following accounts to be graphic and/or disturbing.* While this may be greatly disturbing to healthy people, it is important to educate our readers on dangerous trends so that we can help prevent the abuse of innocent people.
Kids attending this year’s first Summer Movies in the Park event play on the back lawn at the Fallbrook Community Center prior to the free showing of the movie “Sing”. Live Oak Park will host the next Summer Movies in the Park July 21 when “The Secret Life of Pets” will be shown.
A common lie that pornographers and performers will tell you is that their work allows viewers to explore taboo fantasies, essentially keeping it “fake” so as to keep viewers from acting on those fantasies in real life.
“Fauxcest, one of the fastest growing categories of porn, featuring role play between family members.”

But as research and personal stories show, the truth is actually the opposite: porn trains viewers to be aroused by what they see on screen, so much so that many viewers’ “fantasies” transfer over to real life, even if those “fantasies” are abusive or dangerous. The fact is, casual pornography use has the power to change ideas and attitudes. When that happens, changes to behavior aren’t far behind.
