🌱 Not A Normal Sign Of Aging + Trash Dumping In Our Area

Get on up, Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch! Let's get this Wednesday started off right. Here's everything worth knowing today in town.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 68, Low: 49.

Here are three of the top stories in Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch today:

1. Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you were there? Have you misplaced your keys, jewelry, or other items? Are you losing words from your vocabulary? For some, these occurrences are perfectly normal. For others, these behaviors may indicate something more serious. That was the case for Rancho Bernardo resident Kathy Schubert. She was diagnosed with cognitive impairment. By 2060, it is expected that 5.7 million people will be afflicted with cognitive impairment, while an additional 9.3 million are expected to be living with Alzheimer’s disease.

2. They have been dumping trash in the Cleveland National Forest, in Rancho Peñasquitos, and in Tierrasanta. Maybe it has been happening in your neighborhood as well. What can you do about it? Well, the City of San Diego’s Get It Done app can take care of it, but it takes about 27 days to get it done. So, what is the solution? To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link.

3. There are now two vacancies on the Palomar College Proposition M Bond Oversight Committee that need to be filled. The non-compensated members will help decide how capital improvement funds will be spent. Want to get involved? To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (Press Release Desk)
