While the County of San Diego has linked adolescent violence to underage drinking in a recent survey, there are several other elements, including social pressures, jealousy and pride that cause teenage girls to fight. Fallbrook High School assistant principal Adam Dawson believes that there are several elements as to why a girl may resort to violence. “It may be a combination of illicit drug use, family issues, or simply looking for a way to be connected,” said Dawson. “It can also be social pressure. This is why it is so im...

Fallbrook High School’s gymnastics team will win few (if any) dual meets this year, as the four-member varsity squad doesn’t field enough gymnasts for the Warriors to receive a full team score. But for co-coaches Kayla Alonso and Janeva Sandoval, whose gymnasts also include seven junior varsity competitors and one varsity team member recovering from an injury, the small team is a chance to provide individual attention to the program’s young participants. “Since it’s a small team we get to spend so much more time with them...

The Fallbrook Citizens’ Crime Prevention Committee (FCCPC) would like to comment on what we feel is an unfortunate choice of words for the title of the Village News article (4/8/10) covering our March 30 crime prevention meeting. We fear the title “Speaker says Fallbrook has gang presence, not gang problem” will lead people to let their guard down. Fallbrook had a long history of severe gang problems which were not being equally addressed by the county, law enforcement or its citizens back in 2003. The businesses, resid...
I appreciated Dale Mitchell’s column “Educationally Speaking” regarding teaching students how to learn. First, it is good to know what page our superintendent is on with regard to our children’s education. Second, he has made a point of stressing something I have long thought to be missing from education. I did not have a clue of “how” to learn until somewhere in mid-life. The only thing I was able to discern at that point was that one had to actually “listen” and be mentally present in the classroom in order to learn. I was...
Circle K is a great neighbor! I was at the Avocado Festival, trying to figure out how to divide twenty dollars among two adults and two hungry kids. A friend came up to me and said, “When you go home, make sure and stop by the Circle K on [East] Mission Road. They have free hot dogs.” We took his advice. Not only did Circle K have free hot dogs and chili dogs, they had free sodas, Slurpies, and a free jumpy jump for the kids! What a nice thing to do for Fallbrook, especially for those of us trying to stretch a dollar in thi...
What you have both given from your heart and good spirit has enhanced the beauty of Fallbrook. You have been the couple of “firsts,” the first to bring organics to Fallbrook; the first to be conscious of all the needs for good health; the first to give time to those of us willing to learn about the living soil; the first willing to conduct a class on composting by stretching out a banner across the Rocky Peak’s plate glass window to teach a hands-on class. We were a big class and a willing group not only once, but a time...
I would like to make two proposals. First: That ‘airport check-in’ becomes an Olympic sport. Second: The word ‘burroized’ be added to the English language and appropriately translated into all languages. Clearly one can be burroized from many activities but just as clearly one can not check-in without being burroized. Now to the sport. It should be judged 50 percent on time and 50 percent on style points. The time starts entering the airport and ends when seated on the airplane. Half of style points would be awarded by judg...
On behalf of my family and myself, I extend a huge “Thank You” to all who helped with the celebration of “Baba” Jerry Weiss’ life on April 11. Hilltop Center for Spiritual Living brought the essence of love and devotion for a life well-spent to our memorial. Reverend Guy Williams and other of Jerry’s friends spoke heartfelt messages that will last with us a lifetime. Rocky Peak Farms made outrageous and healthy food (one of Jerry’s favorite endeavors). Plus, there was also tasty food brought in by many friends. Uplifting mus...
We who use SR76 on a daily basis know how dangerous the existing road is and want to have it fixed! Thousands of local residents rely on Pala as an east/west local road for emergencies such as an evacuation route in a fire storm. Ask yourself, how many east/west routes exist between 395 and South Mission in Fallbrook? There are only three including Pala Road, East Mission, and a circuitous route using Reche road. The current Caltrans proposal for revamping the existing SR76 route eliminates the Pala Road option, especially...
