Two “wows” for Fallbrook! The first “wow” is for the recent production at the Fallbrook Mission Theatre! The musical, “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Audience members were entertained from the first few minutes through the lively curtain call. I had never seen this story before; no wonder this show is back on Broadway this year. The second “wow” is for the smaller audience. I live in a town more than twice the size of Fallbrook and we have nothing...
I have witnessed the rejection of a female FPUD ratepayer’s request for special water rates for all needy senior Fallbrook citizens. FPUD is also aware of several other ratepayers who cannot pay their water bills in full. No human, animal, or plant can live without water. A search of California’s Public Utilities Code, Section 12811.2 states specifically: a) Not withstanding any other provision of law, a district may establish a temporary relief program for assistance to needy customers of the district who are fin...
Regarding Supervisor Horn’s reply to my recent letter, he “presumed” I was writing “on behalf of the Rainbow Community Planning Group (RCPG).” Let me assure him, my thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I was sorry to hear that the letter from RCPG (which, I am aware, asked for his support for Rainbow and Fallbrook to address negative impacts to our communities) was supposedly not received. This letter, I understand, was copied to all the San Diego County supervisors. Perhaps, he could borrow one of theirs to read. In...

Surrounded by a sea of denim, boots, big belt buckles, and cowboy hats at the 2010 Professional Bull Riding (PBR) Championship held at the Pala Casino from June 21-22, I couldn’t help but think, “Dang, I’m definitely out of my element.” However, this does not mean that I didn’t have a great time.

A great cast of local actors, funny writing and spot on casting make this play a must see. The office drama that is caused by the characters is entertaining. A young charming Mr. J.

This spring has been unusual for the area with more than normal rainfall and irregular temperatures. I have noticed more fungal infections in gardens, such as powdery mildew and even black spot. It is best to start a managed treatment as soon as you notice these infections in your garden. For organic gardeners, these infections cause frustration because there are few readily available organic products to treat them. If the infection is difficult to control, it may be...

The amendments approved May 11 allow for the use of either a non-woven geotextile or a plastic cover on areas of the side slopes which are too high on the slope to be covered by the initial placement of the protective soil cover, modify the specifications for the geotextile from a specific fabric density to “filter fabric” for use within the subdrain system, and modify the max...
