ield hockey team which played in the National Field Hockey Festival in La Quinta during Thanksgiving weekend, finished the tournament with a record of one win, three losses, and two ties. “We did well. We really worked hard and played hard, and to hang in there with those all-star teams, we’re so pleased,” said coach Kathy Waite. Because the tournament took place after the end of the CIF field hockey season, the team did not officially represent Fallbrook High School. Without the ability to call themselves the Warri...

FALLBROOK — Potter Junior High students are now working to raise funds for the annual eighth grade class trip. “Everyone talks about the destinations – Washington, DC, and New York – but a large part of the learning takes place during the process of earning the money to go on the trip. That process is very important,” said Potter parent Peggy DiMercurio while working with her son John. “No one really wants to give up free time to work. Plus, selling candy at Albertsons...

Retired Amtrak conductor Richard Barone, grandfather of kindergartener Dominique Duran, started off the day by shouting, “All aboard!” The children went from room to r...

FALLBROOK — On December 7, the Fallbrook Apostolic Assembly hosted 10 families with children ages 1 month to 17 years who have a parent in prison. While they had an Italian dinner the children were entertained with Christmas carols from the worship team, a Christmas skit by the Alpha and Omega Academy and an interpretive dance by Alvaro Navarro. Church volunteers signed up to give each child a toy and an article of clothing on behalf of their parent in order to let them know that they are not alone on Christmas and that e...
It is an immense pleasure to be writing this article right smack-dab before Christmas as we approach a brand new year. At its onset, this column has been an apologetic endeavor to provide proof of God’s existence. It was intended that nonbelievers would have something to hang their hats on and so begin their journeys of faith. So, for many months, I plowed through tons of heavy apologetic literature, spoke with a theology professor and gained insight from much sacred reading, hitting up monasteries and bookstores. Yes, I s...
What did you get for Christmas? That’s a common question these days as we bask in the glow of the “big day.” Did you get what you wanted? Was it in your favorite color? Did they get your size right? Sometimes people think they know what we want, what size we wear and what color is our favorite. But they get it wrong. We receive their gift only to be in a return line a few days later. If we can’t exchange it we put in the bottom drawer or take it to a local thrift shop for recycling. Let me tell you about a gift that fits ev...

Rainbow Municipal Water District board member Rua Petty took advantage of a California Energy Commission (CEC) evidentiary hearing on the proposed Orange Grove Energy power plant to correct information in a CEC document which indicated that the Rainbow district would connect the site to its existing system. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there,” Petty said. “We gave them a water reliability letter, which isn’t a commitment.” The evidentiary hearing December 19 at the Pala Mesa Resort did not include a decision on...
