Camp Pendleton officials have taken measures to protect base occupants from WNV.

“West Nile Virus ‘larvaciding’ commenced the last week of April,” said Lt. Col. Todd A. Kerzie, facilities maintenance officer, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.

Larvacide is accomplished by spreading environmentally friendly larvacide pellets utilizing a helicopter. It is applied to large standing bodies of water around Camp Pendleton such as Lake O’Neill, Las Pulgas Lake, the mouth of the Santa Margarita River in Del Mar, and San Onofre Creek near San Onofre Beach.

New chapter: It’s not dead. A group of six south-county city council members have sent a letter to Feinstein that you might call dramatic.

Indeed, the determined obstructionists which have poisoned the public debate over the 241 with absurd deceptions would have you believe traffic messes in Southern California are acceptable abstractions–mere nuisances as benign as a seasonal cold or Thanksgiving gluttony.

Federal agents arrested 37 suspected illegal immigrants who arrived in small fishing boats in two separate incidents Monday and Saturday, Border Patrol officials said.

About 4:40 a.m. Monday, Border Patrol agents spotted a small boat off the coast of Grandview Beach in Encinitas, according to a Border Patrol news release.

On the beach, the agents and sheriff’s deputies found the unoccupied boat and footprints leading away, the release said.

At the end of the footprints, agents arrested 11 Mexican men and two Mexican women in the country illegally, the release said.

On Saturday about 6:30 a.m., State Park rangers at San Onofre State Beach called the Border Patrol, officials said. Agents responded and found an empty boat and 24 people hiding in the bushes at Trestles Beach, the release said.

The 21 Mexican men and three Mexican woman were arrested, officials said.
