Debt at the national, state and local levels has mushroomed in recent decades. Three California cities have sought bankruptcy protection and there are constant rumors that more may soon follow. Among the problems impacting California cities are the huge debt obligations owed to CalPERS, the state’s public employees’ retirement system. For example, Stockton, one of the bankrupt cities, is paying CalPERS roughly $29 million a year, in addition to payments being made to oth...
A local couple brought home their first foster kids a few nights ago. Watching this couple spring into action to take care of two brothers, (a 14-month-old and his brother who is about to turn two this week) was something I’ll never forget. God has been preparing them and now they are hitting the ground running! With that said, they were not quite prepared for two and the baby has been sick, so there are a few needs. They are in need of a stroller, diapers (sizes 4 and 6), high chair, and clothes in sizes 12 to 18 months a... Full story
In Forbes Ezine, dated March 23, 2013, a guest post from Mr. George Schultze, founder of Schultze Asset Management LLC, appeared. His article: “Risk Is Back: America’s Big Banks Are Knee-Deep In Derivatives” should be read in its entirety. However, for others, the simple conclusion of the article, simply stated, is this: “You can’t gamble more than you have.” Let me explain. In my day, it was known that if you played out and gambled your house, it was known, that whether you were sober or not, “you lost your house in a be...
On behalf of Fallbrook VFW Post 1924 Ladies Auxiliary, I would like to thank Home Instead Senior Care for generously reaching out to our senior veterans. Home Instead requested a list of veterans that might appreciate a little gift and our idea was to request gift cards to local restaurants as many of our senior veterans no longer cook meals and this would give them an extra meal or two. You should have seen the smiles on 30 of our veterans’ faces when we presented them with an unexpected gift! Anne Richter Sr. Vice P... Full story
It seems Ms. Wesson’s conclusion may be based on inaccurate information. The proposed off-leash area is at the south end of the park, across the street from and completely fenced off from the main body of the park; the park is not proposing to turn the entire park into an off-leash area. Those who wish to enjoy their dogs on leash in Live Oak Park will simply continue to do so, as they always have. Her experience with an irresponsible dog owner was unfortunate, yet points out the need for an off-leash area – there a...
Like Mr. Wootton in his recent letter to the editor, I also was disappointed to see our local Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce participating in the opening ceremony of a new hospital in Temecula. This seems like a wholly inappropriate activity for an organization which (I thought) was established to promote the business interests within our own community. Although, most of us have read and/or heard about the recent financial difficulties of our local facility, Fallbrook Hospital, I wonder how many actually have thought about... Full story
