I had the privilege of seeing the Fallbrook Players’ production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Mission Theatre. I must admit, I was a little reluctant to see it as I am a strong Christian and I had heard rumors about it inaccurately depicting the events set forth in the Bible. But this small, incredibly talented group of high school students completely changed my opinion of this show forever. By the end of this powerful show, my eyes were brimming with tears. My love of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and my desire to spread H...
I am always saddened when letter writers use the opinion page to attack well known people. Usually these attacks are on subjects that cannot be adequately covered in 250 words, and the attacks usually 1. Demonize those whom they oppose, 2. Assume as “settled,” which is not, and 3. Claim that all who disagree are ignorant. The target of a recent attack was Dr. Michael Behe, the author of “Darwin’s Black Box” and “The Edge of Evolution.” It characterized Dr. Behe’s position on intelligent design as “non-scientific...
I remember Dec. 21, 1988 very well. I started routinely, working in my yard that morning, before riding my motorcycle to work at Pan Am at the Los Angeles International Airport that afternoon. The moment I walked into the office a colleague told me Pan Am had just lost an aircraft over Lockerbie, Scotland. Later I learned that an acquaintance, a beautiful young flight attendant, Stacie Franklin, from San Diego, was killed in the bombing of PA 103. For me, that was the day the war began against Col. Mommar Gaddafi, who...
As the founder of the Fallbrook Tea Party, sitting here at my computer on a rather rainy day, I felt compelled to bring a few words of encouragement for our now 400 plus Tea Party folks. John Wooden, the late great basketball coach of UCLA said, “Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do,” very sound advise to be sure. Understand that, with that advice, you can help with the current E-Verify petition in the hands of some 400 members. It’s your “can do” effort. We’ve asked you to get 10 signatures an...

Fallbrook High School’s gymnastics team had four varsity competitors when the Warriors opened their season March 16 at home against Rancho Bernardo, which is not enough to obtain a full score, so co-coaches Kayla Alonso and Janeva Sandoval knew beforehand that Rancho Bernardo was going to win the meet. The coaches were pleased after the meet when two of Fallbrook’s four gymnasts posted qualifying scores for the CIF meet. “It went well,” Sandoval said.
