Around my house it never fails. We are relaxing with a cup of coffee on our pool deck and my brother-in-law calls to catch up with us. At the end of the conversation, my husband invites him up for a barbecue, something I am never prepared for. I rush to the freezer and pull out some chicken, chops or steaks for the main course, but what will I serve on the side? This problem used to send me rushing to the store looking for something in a box that I can whip up quickly and stil... Full story

The Fallbrook Regional Health District (FRHD) board, by a 4-0 vote Aug. 9, elected to extend escrow on the sale of the Fallbrook Hospital building to Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc. to Aug. 31. Director Howard Salmon was not in attendance due to business in Sacramento. The action, necessary due to unresolved issues with the county of San Diego regarding the property at 624 East Elder Street, was taken during the board's regular meeting – a meeting attended by less than a handful of Fallbrook residents. The three previous b...

It didn’t take long for Derek Lee, the new band director at Fallbrook High School, to sniff out a goal – new uniforms for band members. “The first time they brought them out into the room for uniform fittings, they had a pretty strong, wretched smell to them, like 20 years of sweat and blood and tears that went into them,” said Lee. “So, I see that as a problem. It's gross.” Lee, 28, is making his debut as a band director after having served in teaching and coaching ca... Full story

As many of you know, Bonsall Education Foundation (BEF) acts as steward of the Bonsall Schoolhouse. The Fallbrook chapter of California Questers offered to help us with an interior improvement as part of its restoration – new curtains and sash rods! We gratefully accepted their offer. During the premier historic period of the building from 1895-1919, curtains served one specific purpose – to block outside distractions. They were hung on the lower sash only. The upper sash had no curtains to allow in light. Curtains were oft...

Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 (R) Processes in the State Capitol are way out of date. During the 7-8 months I spend in Sacramento annually, I use much of my time working and voting on legislation, and meeting with advocacy groups and constituents to discuss legislation. Even so, keeping up with constituent and district concerns isn’t easy when you’re over 500 miles away. Shortening the legislative calendar and using modern technology would let legislators spend more time...

Well known for her...
