Helen Keller said: “I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his adult life. It would make him more appreciative of sight and the joys of sound.” Keller took us one step further, to marvel over what the human spirit can do. When I was a freshman in college in Iowa, I met a most incredible man. He was a blind, Quaker pastor. My friend said to me, “I want you to meet my uncle who is blind.” When I got to his home, I heard a hammer poundin... Full story

Hasvold’s t...
When the San Diego Chargers won their first-round playoff game January 6, the win quashed criticism about Chargers coach Norv Turner. Turner’s ability to win a first-round playoff game, which eluded his immediate predecessor, was also pleasin to Turner’s college coach, Fallbrook resident Dick Enright. “I was so glad to see Norval win,” Enright said. Enright was the head coach at the University of Oregon in 1972 and 1973. In 1972 Turner was the backup to Dan Fouts, who spent the ensuing 15 years as a quarterback for the Cha...

Live Oak Elementary School hosted a Career Day for a portion of its student body on Friday, January 18. Twenty residents of our community represented an equal number of careers. The thread that ran through the presentations that I was able to witness was the stress placed on a college education. North County Fire Captain Mark Couglar encouraged the students to not only obtain a college degree but to continue education throughout their lives. He told the students that his...
A selection of 20 to 30 employees of Fallbrook Union High School District (FUHSD), both present and past, were questioned as part of an investigation to determine whether a hostile work environment has existed in the district for the past 10 to 12 years. Sources report that a complaint filed in 2007 necessitated interviews with a select group of teachers, principals and classified staff members to determine the validity of the claim. “There is one teacher who has taken vicious, humiliating actions against many other e...
It won’t be “business as usual” for the Fallbrook Union High School District (FUHSD) in 2008 as it faces grim state budget cuts deemed unavoidable, a $193,000 budget deficit and the lengthy and costly process of finding a new superintendent. While the district school board interviews executive search firms such as Leadership Associates and the California School Boards Association, which specialize in education careers, an interim superintendent has been hired to manage the district until a replacement can be found for Tom A...

In August 2005 when Fallbrook’s first North County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) class graduated, no one could have predicted the dramatic impact they would have on the community, nor how soon. Within two years, the tenacity of organizer James Beebe of North County Fire Protection District (NCFPD) and business owner Mike Crain, now North County CERT planning chief and board president, pushed that fledgling group to include 260 trained volunteers who put their lives on hold to help neighbors in need during the Rice...
Oftentimes, senior citizens, or even younger empty nesters, find their homes have gotten too big for them and have become a genuine chore to take care of. As a result, many seniors and empty nesters decide to downsize their homes, moving into smaller homes that are more accommodating to their new lifestyles. While this is an obvious decision for many, it isn’t always an easy one. In addition to growing attached to a home, especially one in which their children grew up, h...
