On Friday, October 7, the Fallbrook varsity football team hosted the Carlsbad Lancers.

Oct. 3, 2011 To: Fallbrook Hospital CEO Alex Villa Just wanted to send a note of appreciation to Fallbrook Hospital for the excellent care I received recently. The ambulatory services staff were extremely caring, professional, efficient, and made me feel very comfortable. Monique took excellent care of me and attended to my every need. She started my IV without any discomfort whatsoever. Cathy was also very friendly and helpful. Lourdes took me back to the procedure room and monitored me while I was undergoing my...
I want to thank Major Market for allowing me to put my table in front of their store and help animals every month. To answer a question from another local chain store, I believe it is important for me to be there two days a month as I save hundreds and hundreds of lives, dogs and cats that so many people consider to be worthless and dispose of in the worst ways. I save these lives through spay and neuter programs. I have sent 12 or more persons to the S.N.A.P. organization on average each month. I help the chronically ill...
I would suggest that someone help the county, or anyone else wishing for a flagpole, to shop online for an American-made flagpole. There are many available, in heights over 40 and 50 feet for far less than $7,000 as mentioned in this story. And I applaud all those who contributed to acquiring enough funds to complete the project... I know that I don’t know all the facts about how tall of a flagpole we need or want, and whether it is to have internal cabling or not, but I’m sure the original estimate of $10,000 was lud...
If one studies “conservatives” over the centuries there is one thing they all have in common - it is respect for tradition. Conservatives resist change because they know there is always a reason for things being the way they are. Unlike conservatives, liberals have no common characteristic although a case might be made that they are the agents of change. No one is purely conservative or liberal; there are just liberal and conservative movements. When usually conservative people find a liberal movement justifiable, they sup...
The American economy is driven by consumer spending, representing two-thirds of GDP. Falling middle-class income and the loss of manufacturing jobs is our own fault. We currently waste our considerable purchasing power to promote multinational corporations who exploit cheap labor overseas, for the short-sighted goal of somewhat cheaper tennis shoes or sweatshirts. Just as corporations squeeze their suppliers to meet their demands, Americans who care about our long-term economic health, and a strong middle class, should use...

Adamson, a renowned Southern California artist, volunteered to donate his time that evening to create, on the spot, a huge masterpiece of art that could be auctioned off to help raise funds for a bronze bust to be commissioned in memory of...
Isn’t it interesting how many people just don’t know what to do with leftovers? Well, here are some ideas and don’t be afraid to use leftovers when entertaining at home! Leftovers can be delicious, healthy, and be used in new ways. I always like to add vegetables to most everything; we Americans need more of them in our diet, plus they add nice color to a dish. Last weekend, my husband and I barbecued a burgundy-marinated tri-tip that I had purchased from Major Marke...

Fallbrook High School’s field hockey team finished September with a 7-2 record. “They’re doing great,” said Fallbrook coach Kirstin Mueller. “The only two losses were in strokes, so it’s not really anything to be ashamed of.” The Warriors compiled a 7-1 record before their Sept. 28 loss in strokes at Scripps Ranch.
