With Halloween right around the corner, The Popcorn Board offers the following recipes for some neat popcorn treats. Spooky Pop...

Junior Class President Emma Mings wasn't exactly confident that she and her classmates would be accepting the award for the best float during Fallbrook High School's homecoming last Friday night (Oct. 19). And for good reason. The winning float featured rolling hills, avocado trees and problematic giant globe. "I am very proud of the fact that the globe stayed on the float," Emma said.

By now you have received your voter booklet for November’s election. As I read through it, I was reminded of the inaccurate portrayal of the financial impact Prop 5 will have on our cities and communities. Back to basics; the Legislative Analyst Office states that Prop 5 will cost initially $1,000,000 and up to $1,000,000,000 in the future. This figure is based on a static analysis, which means, only the negative impact when a home is purchased utilizing a carried over p...

Residents are reminded to take all precautions and be ready to evacuate if needed.
