Fred Ragland is very busy as chairman of the 2005 Fallbrook Vintage Car Club Show, planned for May 29 at the high school athletic field.

He volunteers at Camp Pendleton each summer to assist with the two Devil Pup encampments of about 600 teens, helping them through the junior recruit program. A retired fireboat captain,... Full story

In our community’s elementary schools, the fifth grade children’s state-mandated Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements are being calculated this month. In this week’s column I wanted to explain what BMI is and why testing for BMI is important. Calculating the BMI is one of the best methods for population assessment of overweight and obesity. It is low-cost and easy to use for clinicians and the general public. The use of BMI allows people to compare their own weight status to the general population. The only information requi...

Who says you can’t mix business and friendship? Pat Dahmer, Julie Prest, and Chris Phillips have created a successful business off of their successful friendships by doing what they all love to do. They opened Wild Hair Salon in Fallbrook on March 24, 2000, and are about to celebrate the business’ five-year anniversary. “We all worked together in a different salon and decided we wanted to open our own place, and we did,” says Dahmer. The women were such popular stylists that some of their clients from the previous salons...
FALLBROOK — Ten years ago, water planners for the Fallbrook Public Utility District had a vision — a vision they thought would be a no-brainer — a quick slam-dunk. Their vision: FPUD had long had rights to collect local water in the Santa Margarita River but no place to store it. Lake Skinner had the storage space but no rights to the local water or even the rainfall that came down the river. So, FPUD planners envisioned a co-op deal. A marriage, so to speak. And after 10 years of hammering out the prenuptials, FPUD is final...

Every home has a personality that reflects its owner. As a case in point, I found it interesting to watch the changes to this house near the Fallbrook Golf Course. I know the place well, as it was our home until about l0 years ago — and it recently changed owners when the couple who purchased it from us moved back to the East Coast. In 1992 we brought our own taste into play with a new mailbox at the entry, courtyard walls and a detached garage and potting shed complex on the uphill side of the double garage. Later changes w...

You grab a package from the frozen foods and flip it over to scan its label. The calories and fat numbers look good, you think. The cholesterol level seems okay. But what about the daily value? Or the serving size? Or the nutrient value? Now the label looks like a foreign language. The food label isn’t a federal conspiracy against the public. It was actually designed so you could effectively and easily consume a healthy diet. This information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will help you decipher any food label. S...

Base Closures in San Diego County Not An Option BRAC is back! You can almost hear the collective groan of military-dependant communities around the state. And no more so than in San Diego County, which has the highest concentration of military installations in the nation. Although it has been almost ten years since the last round of closures in 1995, it still seems like yesterday. California lost approximately 90,000 jobs due to 29 base closures. Some areas of the state were hit harder than others. San Diego County escaped...
