When Fallbrook High School’s wrestling team opened its season Dec. 4 with a 68-18 home win over Guajome Park Academy the highlight for the Warriors wasn’t the margin of victory but the lack of forfeit losses. “We actually had a full varsity lineup,” said Fallbrook varsity coach Cristian Vera. “This is the first year in quite some time that we have every single weight class covered.” High school wrestling has 14 weight classes. If one school has a wrestler in a specific class and the other school doesn’t, the match is a weight...

FALLBROOK – Few things elicit the ire of homeowners more quickly than insect infestations inside a home.

Ants are attracted to food, water and shelter, making kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms ideal havens for these unwelcome critters to...

SAN DIEGO – A storm that dropped rain and snow across San Diego County Dec. 30 and 31 should make it easy to start 2015 by saving water – a great New Year’s resolution for everyone in the region to adopt after more than three years of drought. By turning off irrigation systems following significant rainfall, residents can conserve valuable water supplies and help the region withstand drought conditions. The winter’s first manual snow survey results released Dec. 30 by state officials underscored the need for incre...
I believe that eliminating plastic grocery bags will help the environment about as much as environmentalists believe Toby Keith’s remark that red Solo cups decompose in 14 years. There are two grocery stores and two drug stores within 1 1/2 miles of my house, which means that I can walk to the grocery store and back if I can carry my groceries home. The fact that plastic bags have handles allows me to do that; in the absence of such plastic bags I’d have to drive to the store and back. I’ve also noticed that plastic bags... Full story
