The skies of Fallbrook may be dark this Fourth of July if enough money isn’t raised to pay for the annual fireworks event that attracts thousands to the grounds of the Grand Tradition. For the past five years, the Fallbrook Beautification Alliance (FBA) has hosted an Independence Day event filled with food, entertainment and family activities that end with a fireworks show over the lake. The July 4th event has been Fallbrook’s only fireworks show, but this year’s lack of sponsorship for the costly pyrotechnics may mean that...
Over the past six weeks at least 10 properties in the south and east portions of Fallbrook have been burglarized with the theft of tools appearing to be the main intent. The combined losses have reached into tens of thousands of dollars. Targeted items have included power and hand tools, generators, compressors, table saws, drill presses, lathes and more. As a result, the Sheriff’s department has categorized them as commercial burglaries. “These burglaries are happening at night and the thief is using pry tools to enter the...

Even though we are well into January, we would be remiss if we did not send this letter. We would like to thank everyone who supported our community by shopping, dining, and doing business locally this past holiday season. And if you happened to shop in our store, an extra big thank you! As a consumer, we know that you have many choices as to where you can spend your money. We also know that you can’t always find everything to meet your needs in Fallbrook. That’s why it was especially wonderful to hear so many of you say you...
The recent introduction of Rep. Issa’s legislation to expand protection of the Agua Tibia and Beauty Mountain wilderness areas east of Fallbrook builds on legislation signed by President Obama last March. These bills are a testament to the importance of these wild places to local communities and the region. I support Rep. Issa’s wilderness bill and urge him to consider including other unprotected wild places and rivers on public lands in San Diego County, including the Santa Margarita River, Barker Valley and the upper San...

Tom Conley must have misunderstood my statement that Cheney, “…is personally responsible for allowing the 9/11 attack to happen…” I didn’t mean that in any conspiracy terms (like he knew the attack would happen that day, or that the Bush administration gave prior notice to any ethnic group working in the World Trade Center Towers, or that it was an “inside job”) – I think all those rumors and theories are false and even destructive, as they take away from the real responsibility that Cheney carries. Cheney is responsible bec...
Regarding Jerri Patchett’s appeal for funds for 4th of July fireworks - maybe economic belt tightening isn’t all bad. It forces people who manage shrinking budgets to separate goats from the sheep. It appears that sponsors from previous years finally realized it doesn’t make sense to convert thousands of dollars into 15-to-18 minutes of noise and smoke pollution while putting our fire-prone environment at risk. Dave Ashton...
Tim Allen – stand-up comedian, author and television and movie star – will take the stage at Pala casino Saturday night in his only scheduled Southern California show. Allen’s Jan. 30 performance comes about three weeks after the release of the first movie he has starred in, produced and directed. “Crazy On The Outside” – which also features Sigourney Weaver, Ray Liotta and Kelsey Grammer – may have an autobiographical flair. Allen, 56, perhaps gained his greatest exposure as the star of ABC’s Home Im... Full story
A resort that traces its roots to a motel, golf course and cottage once owned by one of America’s most popular entertainers is bringing Broadway shows and other acts to northern San Diego County. The Welk Resort Theatre, a 339-seat auditorium with a spacious lobby, is offering musicals and other shows in its 2010 season. Taking in a show at the north Escondido venue can also provide a glimpse at a 1960s foray into a rugged and then-remote area by Lawrence Welk, who was a popular bandleader and television star. Welk was p... Full story

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce has announced it will launch its new and improved Web site in early February. “Our current Web site needed an update to bring it into the 21st century,” said David Bergeson, interim general manager. Bergeson explained that the Chamber had been experiencing problems with updating its existing system and decided to contract with a new software development firm to upgrade its site. “Our current system is very hard to keep up-to-date,” said Bergeson. “Making updates to chamber mem...

Once a month, Camp Pendleton Single Marine Program participants and others volunteer to spend some quality time with the horses kept at Stepp Stables. “This could be considered a great learning experience for Marines and sailors who have not had an opportunity to be around horses,” said Grace Lara, Stepp Stables assistant manager. “Our horses love the extra attention and pampering that this program provides.” The morning begins with the volunteers receiving a general safety brief and a few short lessons in handling the hor...
