FALLBROOK – In a move that will save Fallbrook ratepayers $1.6 million over the next 15 years, the Fallbrook Public Utility District earlier this month executed a successful bond sale, which will reduce the cost for upgrades made to the district’s wastewater reclamation plant in 2016. “Because of our good credit rating and standing on Wall Street, we were able to take advantage of lower interest rates through the sale of revenue bonds,” said FPUD general manager Jack Bebee. “Our ability to execute this transaction is a resu...

FALLBROOK – On Wednesday, Jan. 20, at approximately 7 p.m., there was a tragedy that no one at the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary will ever forget. One of their volunteers was just finishing up Dovey's evening walk and was returning to FAS.

The truck sent the volunteer tumbling to the ground and Dovey sadly right under the wheels. The truck did not stop but c...

Some original cartoon maps that gained a lot of attention in 2001 recently resurfaced. Brett Stokes, an illustrator of the original Fallbrook cartoon maps, put together several maps featuring businesses that had paid for advertising. While some people found the maps humorous, some of the depictions of things on the map near the businesses didn't make them too happy, and many of the maps were thrown away. Some individuals, however, still have a few. Rocio Ramirez Reynoso...

I am married to a tidy man. Some would define that as an oxymoron. Clearly those who remained divorced and single for decades had reason to. I for one, had a list. With each passing year – the list got longer. And longer. And longer. Thinking there would never even be one candidate capable of checking off the top 10, I planned to live a solitary life. Looking back, this list of requirements for a life mate somehow just seems practical. I do not recall everything on that o...
There may come a time when it's necessary to fire a doctor to achieve your best health. The right doctor may not be the convenient one five minutes down the road from your home. It may not be the one that everyone else thinks is the best in town. Having a feeling of solid trust in your doctor is what is important. For those who have a specific, recurring condition, it is typically a quality specialty network that is the key to the best possible health. Not all medical groups...

An alternative to a swab test for COVID-19 is a CT scan which can be done at Universal Imaging Centers. Anke Ciling operates the Fallbrook location. "I was born and raised in Germany, came over here due to my husband, but I used to work for an orthopedic surgeon," Ciling said. "I did perform myself x-rays and I assisted with surgeries and intakes and made casts and such. So I have a large medical background I would say." For patients unsure if they have COVID-19, they can be r...

When Jim Lyle purchased one of the art benches at the Save Our Forest auction November 2020, he had Live Oak Park in his mind. Lyle has dedicated several volunteer years to clearing poison plant species, cleaning out weed overgrowth and repairing the footbridge to welcome visitors to the cool and natural spot. Because the bench he bought was painted by recognized natural world artist Neill Ketchum – replete with flora and fauna – the park was a perfect spot for it. The Fal...

On July 4, 1976, the United States of America celebrated its 200th birthday. On July 27, 1976, I celebrated my 50th birthday. I was one-fourth as old as our nation. Did these events trigger a midlife crisis? Maybe so, but I didn't buy a red Corvette. I quit a good job at Southern California Edison's Terminal Island Power Plant, and the week following my birthday I signed the workbook at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union hall in Fairbanks, Alaska. I was...

A new study of 2,000 revealed that people who prefer their popcorn salty and those who prefer sweeter flavors differ in their movie tastes as well. The census-balanced survey revealed that while fans of salted popcorn flavors aren't necessarily, well, salty, their sweet popcorn counterparts do appear to be sweeter...
