The Gates Foundation has pledged $250 million for eradication of polio to the Rotary Foundation, but the Rotary Foundation has to ma...
Everyone knows how hard is it to spell correctly on a normal day without hundreds of pairs of eyes watching. So, one can imagine how stressful it was for the students who competed at the San Diego County Lutheran Schools Spelling Bee on February 27. Winners from Zion Lutheran School were Julia Wilson, fifth place; Sammie Dotts, third place; Matthew Norwood, second place; and Justice Rodgers, first place....

An Eagle Scout Project requires designing and planning, leadership, fundraising, consulting and implementation. Adachi designed the work project and plans. On a work day the volunteers installed sod and a new sprinkler system for the Fallbrook United Methodist Church Preschool playground. The first phase was an Eagle Scout Project by Stuart Reeder which c...
The troubles of the world can be overwhelming to anyone with a compassionate heart and an eye on the global situation. However, because it is so overwhelming, it would be easy to ignore the pain of others and go on with our safe lives. For a family living in a comfortable Fallbrook home to suddenly travel to the other side of the world to live in cramped quarters and listen to heart-wrenching orphan tales is not something that one would expect to happen. Yet it did. In 2005...

The trial of Jason Duane Cooper, the man charged with the April 26, 2006, murders of his mother- and sister-in-law, Robyn and Jenna Liebner, and one count of attempted burglary at the Liebner residence, began March 12 in Department 21 of Vista Superior Court. Cooper, now 27 years old, showed no emotion as he sat in court and listened to an account of the murders which included evidence that 16-year-old Jenna had been stabbed 56 times and her 53-year-old mother 23 times. “Look at the defendant’s conduct and actions and I’m...
At their March 9 board meeting, the Fallbrook Union High School District (FUHSD) Board of Trustees agreed to adopt a restructured district plan that would reduce the budget by more than $800,000 to keep the district’s finances out of the red. The board reviewed past discussions regarding fiscal information, such as the status of the district for the current, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 academic years, and found the overall 2009-2010 academic year budget needed to be reduced by $814,305 from the previously adopted budget.

In the summer of 1947, the “Friendship Train” crossed the nation, picking up donated foodstuffs as it rolled east. This gave immeasurable promotion to the Church World Service program called CROP. While the devastation of WW II is long gone, the savagery of war has not abated, as we see in Sudan, Sri Lanka and the Middle East. Now, six decades later, Church World Service continues to work in countries all over the world, assisting in emergencies, caring for refugees and supporting families struggling to become sel...
I was wondering if anyone in the Fallbrook/Bonsall area was having trouble with Chris Thompson of SDG&E and the invasion of property cutting down any and all trees close to their power lines. There are certain laws discussing the distance of trees to power lines and it appears SDG&E is overlooking any and all laws and cutting down anything in sight. Could this be an overreaction to the many lawsuits they received? Anyone having problems with SDG&E, let me know, as a lawsuit is being prepared on the actions of their area...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mr. Sarnataro. Lighten up. My comment to Jon Monday about watching Fox News was a joke! I’ve learned over the last several years that most of you ‘lefties’ have your channel selector welded onto NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC or CNBC. That way you can get the latest party line on how to deal with us radical neo-cons. I do the same myself. I read the LA Times cover-to-cover every day and get their editorial opinions. I can then shape my opinion to be completely opposite theirs to assure myself that I’m on the pro...
I am not sure of Mr. Willis’ age. I for one lived in the East and Midwest prior to WWII. As for the “unsuccessful projects,” I for one remember libraries, courthouses, bridges, school buildings, highways and regional parks, all with placards or cornerstones indicating the actions of the WPA. In 1937 my uncle, Joseph P. Brodigan, was in charge of the WPA and CCC in the southern half of Illinois when Cairo, IL, was saved by the above with seven to nine courses of sandbags above the levees. I have no idea how many famil...
