The three high schools in the Fallbrook Union High School District (FUHSD) presented their School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs) to the board of directors at their monthly meeting on January 11.

The proposed Buddhist temple in Bonsall wasn’t an action item on the Bonsall Sponsor Group’s January 5 agenda, although sponsor group chair Margarette Morgan informed the group of a December 11 county Department of Planning and Land Use (DPLU) letter and of Morgan’s response to DPLU. “They don’t seem to understand that it is not to the scope and the scale of our community,” Morgan said. “People in the community do not want it.” The Dai Dang Meditation Center would include 22,796 square feet of building area consisting of a...

Once again, the Rotary Club of Fallbrook would like to thank the citizens of Fallbrook for their generosity. During the first three weeks of December, the members of The Rotary Club of Fallbrook “rang the bell” to collect donations for the Salvation Army. This is the 36th year that our members have participated in this fund raising activity and we consider this an important service to the community. This year we were worried that, because of the economy, we would not be as successful as we have been in the past. But Fal...
We need your help to save our 4th of July fireworks celebration. Your commitment now will save one of Fallbrook’s best community events that raises funds to support beautification efforts in and around Fallbrook.

I would like to express my disappointment at the contributor who shared her fantasy of shooting “gangster” students and leaving their bodies by the structures they have tagged. Sharing that she imagines such vigilante justice offers her satisfaction is better suited for the confessional. Although I, too, can be angered by the illegal activity of some youth, I would like to share an anecdote from my teaching experience that may help some people understand my lesser rage. I have a student who is from the more cri...

Because of Mr. Borst’s contribution, this project is well on its w...
During the last frantic days before Christmas, I was diagnosed with an extremely painful spinal malfunction and break. About dusk on December 21, I went to Albertsons on one errand and my wife went to CVS for the prescribed medication. I thought I could walk back to CVS from Albertsons; I had to stop in the lot and let the pain subside somewhat. It was at that time that the Samaritan stopped her car and asked if she could help. I, brave fellow that I am, allowed that I was just going to CVS, only a couple of hundred feet...
I had to read the comment twice to be sure I understood it. Jon Monday claims “…he (Dick Cheney) is personally responsible for allowing the 9/11 attack to happen…” I’ve heard some pretty loopy left wing claims about the cause of 9/11 but this is by far the most outrageous. I think we can all agree that the rancorous dialogue between left and right today begs for apology on both sides – but the Democrats first. Tom Conley...

As someone who has been going to theatrical performances, dances and concerts for nearly two decades, I rarely get wowed by what happens onstage. The farewell performance of Riverdance, however, not only wowed me, but it also pushed me out of my seat to cheer for the performers. As the dancers twirled and bounced effortlessly across the stage, I couldn’t help but lean forward in my chair to see just exactly how they managed to move the way they did. I can understand now why R...
