Was it an event or an experience? Saturday night, Feb. 28, we had the honor and privilege of attending the blockbusting fundraiser for the Fallbrook Boys & Girls Club. The Rita Coolidge concert was held at the Burton Center, and a VIP reception was held at the splendid home of Bill and Colleen Jackson. Coolidge brought the audience to their feet; it was a special moment. To see many of our neighbors donating money and enjoying doing it, is to commend co-chairs Jim Short and the amazing Ann Logan. Thank you. Short told us...
This is regarding the comment about why the Fallbrook Public Utility District, when it was flushing a fire hydrant, didn’t load the flushed water into a tanker truck and return it to the system. While the practice of flushing water from the hydrant may appear wasteful, it is necessary at times due either to water quality concerns or to pipeline leaks that must be isolated for repair. We make every effort to avoid flushing, but under certain circumstances, we have no choice but to discharge water from the system. When we m...
We all love animals, and many, if not most of us have pets. These non-human members of our families become integral parts of our lives. Even when they destroy furniture, carpets, or eat our pot-roast dinners when we aren’t looking, we still love them. As a dog owner myself, I have become interested in protecting animals used for research purposes in our colleges and universities. Currently, there are no federal or state guidelines pertaining to post-research adoption policies for animals used in scientific or medical r... Full story

In the event the San Diego County Water Authority has to implement cutbacks to member agencies due to a drought, the SDCWA seeks to avoid penalizing recent conservation efforts. A review of the CWA's water shortage and drought response plan allocation methodology led to modifications unanimously approved at the CWA's Jan. 22 board meeting. The changes temporarily alter the methodology to use demand totals in fiscal year 2012-13 and fiscal year 2013-14 as the base period used to determine usage for purposes of cutbacks and... Full story

FALLBROOK – Activities such as pumping water to homes, heating water for showers and washing clothes, and treating wastewater account for approximately 20 percent of the state's energy use. Given the statewide drought conditions, it’s worth reviewing ways to save both water and power. Take shorter showers. Every minute trimmed from the typical shower time saves about 2.5 gallons – plus it saves the energy needed to heat more water. Wash only full loads of dishes, choose shorter wash cycles, and activate the booster heate... Full story
Recent temperatures have been quite erratic, with periods of warm to very warm days and very cool nights, which will influence how quickly the new foliage grows on rose bushes. The warm, daytime temperatures warm the soil which will stimulate greater root growth and thus new foliage. To the rose it seems more like spring at times, so some roses are well into the growing cycle even though it is March. Truthfully, I think the roses are as confused as we are. For the folks who...
