At the February 27 board meeting of the North County Fire Protection District, a $757,248 bid to remodel Station 3 (4100 block of Olive Hill Road) was awarded to Riopelle Development Company (RDC) of Oceanside. “It wasn’t the lowest bid, it was the second lowest bid; the lowest bid did not include all the proper documentation necessary,” said NCFPD Deputy Chief Charlie Glasgow. Work is expected to begin soon on the project, as a performance bond was a bid requirement. “I would be disappointed if they didn’t start demolition r...
Eighteen years ago Gregory Canyon was proposed for a landfill on a 1,770-acre site at the foot of Gregory Mountain just south of Highway 76 and three miles east of Interstate 15. Today, despite rhetoric on both sides, proponents and opponents of the project are unable to say with any certainty when – or even if – the landfill will ever be built. One thing is certain: huge financial profits and serious environmental concerns remain the driving forces fueling this continuing battle. County officials have been working since las...
FALLBROOK — The Fallbrook High School choral music department is proud to present the comedic rock ’n roll classic “Bye, Bye, Birdie” at the Bob Burton Performing Arts Center March 16-24.

The San Diego County Water Authority officially denied a request from the San Luis Rey Municipal Water District to become a new member of the County Water Authority. Because the alternative which will be explored by the San Luis Rey Municipal Water District is to become a retail agency of the Valley Center Municipal Water District, the CWA’s otherwise-unanimous vote February 22 included an abstention by Gary Arant, the general manager of the VCMWD and that water district’s representative on the CWA board. The CWA denial cam... Full story

Everyone living in the surrounding communities is invited to be a part of a “living sign” that tells Granite Construction “NO QUARRY!” Photos will be taken from the air.

Attendees are asked to wear their orange hats or...

On December 6, 2006, Dr. Robert M. Carter, a marine geologist and environmental scientist at Australia’s James Cook University, presented information to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Carter pointed out that, in his opinion, the media have “propagated an alarmist cause for climate change, and they have certainly failed to convey to the public both the degree of uncertainty that is characteristic of climate science and many essential facts that are relevant to considerations of human causation.” Carte...
Well, David Meyers, you asked what we think. Here is what I think: a pox on right wing thinking and a pox on left wing thinking. In addition, a pox on generalizations and those letters which are full of them, including the one prompting this response. Speaking of generalizations, I am reminded of a quotation by Sir Joshua Reynolds in “Annotations to Sir Joshua Reynolds’s Discourses” – “To generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledges are those knowledges that only idio...
I once again support Jacqueline Develle’s quest for an end to Camp Pendleton’s constant – in one way or another – disruption of the peace and quiet that we should at least occasionally be entitled to in our homes. And to respond in advance to those who cry “unpatriotic,” I invite them to come and spend a week in my neighborhood. An entire week of bombs all day and all night that shake the timbers has to be detrimental to our wellbeing. Add to that the continual whomp whomp of low-flying helicopters from morning to midnight...
Granite Construction’s claim of saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and clearing the atmosphere of pollution is ludicrous. Granite’s PR campaign utilizes company paid for economic and environmental “studies” based on quack science and half-truths to confuse area residents about the true effects the nation’s largest hard rock open pit mine will have on the Fallbrook area. Locating the epicenter of their pollution source in Fallbrook merely shifts the air pollution concentration to Fallbrook, turning our air quali...
As President of the Board of Directors of the Rainbow Municipal Water District (RMWD) I wanted to express my observations as to the challenges that face the district at this time and set what I feel should be the priorities. Recently, the district has gone through a complete change of its board of directors. Moreover, when the special election was completed on March 6, it became the first time in many years RMWD had a fully elected board. These elections clearly demonstrate that the citizens of this area do not want this...
My name is Alec Kettenhofen from Boy Scout Troop 731 in Fallbrook and I am working on my Eagle Scout. For this, I need to do a community service project, which will be putting in locking pavers at the Palomares House here in Fallbrook. This requires money and, therefore, donations. I will need a total of $500 to complete the project, which includes the pavers and the sand required. I am asking for donations for money or labor from companies and organizations in the community. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can be...
