For the third year in a row, Fallbrook Union High School (FUHS) is facing financial cutbacks by both the state and district because of continual drops in average daily attendance. FUHS assistant principal John Hayek, who is in charge of student attendance, stated that not only does a student’s attendance allow for academic success, but also allows the high school adequate funding. “When a student leaves for vacation on a Thursday night, missing school on Friday, that hurts us,” said Hayek. “When a parent decides to allow t...

Citizens of Fallbrook/Bonsall are very interested in hearing details about the widening of the third segment of SR76, (Mission Road to I-15). As you know, Caltrans has proposed two options: widening the existing road to four lanes – the Northern Alignment Alternative, or a new six lane roadway south of the San Luis Rey riverbed, the Southern Alignment Alternative.

Fallbrook gangsters have once again scrawled threats in Los Jilgueros Preserve. It happened in December. The activity always seems to coincide with school holidays leading passersby to suspect the gangsters might be students. How clever they must feel eluding law enforcement as they swagger along the paths to stop at the wooden bridge to mark on the railings or on a slat in the footbridges. Even a kiosk, likely erected by a proud Eagle Scout is now a billboard for the language of illiterate criminals. For all the efforts to...

We are the Fallbrook Youth Prevention Group and recently wrote a letter to the editor about a billboard located near Main Street near the 7-Eleven. This billboard advertises Traditional Tequila using the cultural holiday “Dia de Los Muertos” or “Day of the Dead.” We are disappointed to see that another billboard with the same alcohol advertisement has been purchased and is displayed in the same vicinity on Fallbrook Street near the 7-Eleven. Alcohol advertising in our neighborhoods over-exposes youth to alcohol message...
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to the Fallbrook Adult Day Care Center at the corner of Mission and Alvarado, also known as “the Club.” Teddie, you and your staff have saved my life. Some of you in the community may know me and also know that my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease four years ago. I thought I could manage. I got some help, modified my life and kept a good outlook. What I didn’t recognize is how much this illness affected both of us. I was tired all the time, and my own health was slipping. I thoug...
If you are a fan of the popular crime scene investigation programs on television like “CSI: Las Vegas,” “CSI: Miami” or “CSI: New York,” you should know that the facilities depicted in those award-winning shows are nothing like the new real-life forensic center that serves San Diego County. The opening of San Diego County’s new $85 million Medical Examiner & Forensic Center on Overland Drive in Kearney Mesa makes all those Hollywood wannabes pale in comparison. “Welcome to C...
