On December 5, the Fallbrook Pop Warner Jr. Midget Warriors travelled to Lake Havasu, Ariz. for the River Bowl 2009 game against the Lake Havasu Chiefs (8-2). The Lake Havasu team was the Arizona Conference Champion and was one game away from playing for a National Championship bid in Florida. The Chiefs took the opening kickoff to the Warrior 30-yard line, and quickly marched in for the score. The Warriors answered with a long 10 play drive, ending with Enrique Barreto’s touchdown on a speed sweep thanks to great blocking b...
Here’s a small recap of the Pop Warner season now that it is over. Player registrations got off to a chilly start at Cold Stone Creamery, but ended up in the green after the Avocado Festival. A couple of Board Directors, including the President, tendered their resignations; the remaining members held down the fort. Trupiano’s Italian Bistro provided the ambiance and locale for the monthly Board of Director’s meetings while recruitments gave the teams an experienced team of coaches. The first Fallbrook Pop Warner Golf Tourn...

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Niners celebrated the end of another year in festive style at the Fallbrook Golf Club on December 17. The morning began with 24 players competing in a “Shamble” team tourney with a special Christmas theme. Each team received one gold ball as a Santa’s gift that allowed the player a free throw from a bunker or over a barranca. (Some of the gold missiles strayed into Live Oak Creek, perhaps to be recovered later by a lucky golf course “prospector”). A f...

The wind flowed through my hair as I stood at the front of the boat, arms stretched out, marveling at the natural beauty of the Three Gorges as we approached it. A herd of middle-aged Chinese men anxiously pushed their way through the crowd behind me; with cameras clutched in hand, each was eager to have a photo in front of China’s most famous picturesque landmark. Each of them posed in a similar fashion: serious-faced, proud posture, upright, arms pinned to their sides, l...

FALLBROOK – A major water main that runs under the San Luis Rey River could cost as much as $4 million to repair according to a study completed by consultants working for the Rainbow Municipal Water District. The pipe ruptured in the early morning hours of December 8 after a heavy rain. The 22-inch steel line was built in 1995 and delivers water to the district’s service area south of SR 76; one remaining pipe now provides that service. The District hired RBF Consulting out of San Diego to evaluate options for fixing or repla...

I want to especially thank all the volunteers who donated their time to help the needy and hungry clients at the Fallbrook Food Pantry. We have all ages of volunteers – from teenagers to super seniors – working hard at least one day a week so that others can have a little more food to eat and clothing to wear. They have accumulated over 10,000 hours this year. The economy has been down, so contributions are down. We have rented large Penske trucks to haul approximately 12 tons of canned goods and produce from the San Die...
I want the people of Fallbrook to know what great experiences I have had with the manager of the Fallbrook Walgreen’s store. I was looking for local merchants to donate to the Rally for a Cure golf tournament held by Fallbrook Women Golfers. Chris, Walgreen’s manager, had some specific ideas about what he’d like to do. He arrived at 6:30 a.m. and set up a Wii putting contest. Ladies paid $1 for chances to sink a putt. Walgreens provided all the prizes; Chris donated all the money collected, and more. Chris and his assis...

These individuals suffer from restless leg syndrome (RLS), which causes the individual to suffer from spontaneous, continuous leg movements accompanied by unpleasant sensations. For those suffering from RLS, the sensations occur when they are at rest and seem to be only relieved by movement. These sensations usually occur in the calf...
