FALLBROOK - On March 4, longtime Fallbrook resident Daphne Croswell was treated to a different sort of surprise party for her 85th birthday. The site was North Gate Market along South Mission Road, where in 2008, Daphne donated 17 Silk Floss trees that she had grown from seed. The trees were planted by the Save Our Forest group and other volunteers within the Fallbrook Land Conservancy and have already added beauty to the area. The trees have spectacular pink orchid-like...

This year marks the 100 year anniversary for the Boy Scouts of America and the 56th year of the Pinewood Derby. Pack 739 is welcoming all alumni Boy Scouts to race their Pinewood Derby cars one more time in an open division on its modern track.

It arose from his search for an activity that he and his 10 year old son could work...

On March 31, 2010, our lifestyle in Fallbrook will begin to change forever. At the end of this month, Caltrans will publish the draft environmental impact report for the final phase of the expansion of Highway 76 from South Mission Road to Interstate 15, revealing Caltrans’ decision whether to redirect the highway south into the San Luis Rey Valley, or to expand it on the existing roadway. The decision on which route to take, however, is (and in my opinion has always been) a fait accompli. At his recent State of North C...

In the aftermath of the double tragedies of Chelsea King and Amber DuBois, and as a mother of three daughters, I did some checking. Turns out we have quite a few registered sex offenders right here in Fallbrook. Go on the Megan’s Law Web site, enter your address and view a map with the locations of all of the convicted offenders that choose to register where they are living. I say “choose” because I noticed that one of the offenders in my neighborhood was absent from this map since the last time I checked. He still lives down...

We raised over $300 for this charity (www.alexslemonade.org) and it wasn’t even lemonade weather! Thank you! The kids had so much fun t...
I want to personally thank Sam Logan, owner of Major Market, for his vision in supporting the significant expansion of his organic produce section in the front and center of his Fallbrook store. Sam hired a very knowledgeable organic produce manager, Tom Fudge, who is committed to offering us the best. I very much appreciate being able to keep my shopping dollars right here in Fallbrook, saving gas and valuable time, rather than needing to drive to Escondido or Temecula to get a comparable assortment of fresh, top-quality...

We have had similar issues (failures) in trying to get an inter-district transfer for our daughter. Our daughter attends Potter Junior High School. She is constantly ridiculed, harassed, and most recently, threatened with bodily harm. Due to the harassment and threats, we have decided we do not want our daughter to attend Fallbrook High School as the same students at PJHS will go on to Fallbrook High. We have thus far been denied by two members of the high school administration. They both feel we should give the high school...
After 28 years of marriage, and many Navy uniformed and civilian electronics technician postings and family moves, Glenn Patterson took one last posting, in 1987, to the Naval Weapons Station, Fallbrook. Prior to packing up the house and leaving Brunswick, Maine, he said to his wife, Louise, “You better like it over there in Fallbrook, because I’m not moving again.” Upon arriving in Fallbrook for the first time, and having just turned onto East Mission Road by the Fallbrook Wo...
