City has some interesting rules
Being a relative newcomer to Valley Center, I was looking through the municipal codes and did not realize the city has determined the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States does not apply when evidence of a crime does not exist. Refer to Sections 7.04.099 and 10.14.060. These sections state that any city official may enter your residence without warrant and you cannot refuse. (Interesting isn't it?)

Rains make mowing difficult
We have been rural Valley Center residents for 20-plus years, annexed in the early 1990s. Recently, we received a certified letter from the city that stated we had grass in excess of 8 inches in height and needed to be mowed within five days.

It manufactures pneumatic tube equipment and systems for a variety of industries, including food, minerals and plastics.

Had several tough shots gone his way, Valley Center High School senior Logan Burks would have won a medal in his last match as a Hornet. As it were, they didn't and Burks ended his 18-hole round at the state 5A boys' golf championship May 26 at Sand Creek Station Golf Course in Newton with an 83, two shots out of medal contention.
