One of the distinctions of the Fallbrook community is the number of military veterans living in our midst. As the nation prepares to celebrate Veterans Day Nov. 11, I thought it appropriate to share the following article by Katie Lange which is posted on the Department of Defense website. She listed five facts Americans should know about Veterans Day. Veterans Day does not have an apostrophe. A lot of people think it’s “Veteran’s Day” or “Veterans’ Day,” but they’re wrong. The...

I can remember the first day in Fallbrook; Dale Peterson and Rick Wells asked me to attend a basketball game with them. I was instantly surprised by the friendliness of this community and even Ralph Foster...

Results for the North County Fire Protection District's Proposition A special election won't be available as early as had previously been thought, fire officials said Friday. The fire district initially said the outcome of the election – a referendum on a new tax of $5 per month, per parcel of owned property, to pay for construction, maintenance and improvements to fire stations – would be known by Nov. 1.

The Fallbrook Public Utility District Board of Directors voted to enter into a second-year contract renewal with Kirk Paving for road paving services provided to the district. FPUD relies on the contractor to pave roads that must be dug into in order to fix things like broken water lines. The district can do some paving work itself but is unable to pave areas larger than about 225 square feet. Even then, it so far has been more economical to use a contractor, FPUD Executive...
