I am a supporter of the improvements (widening and straitening) of Highway 76. The improvement is needed on one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the state, where accidents are common. The highway should be constructed to the best advantage for all. That should be Caltrans’ and the Board of Supervisors objective. We in 76 Action have been encouraging putting the expanded road in the section from Mission Road to Interstate 15 on the south side of the San Luis Rey River. A number of problems would be mitigated as a res...
We constantly hear about slavery when the racist news media refers to Americans of Black Ancestry, but at one time the laws in this country, in England, and worldwide placed anyone (white or black) into servitude (slavery) who borrowed money and could not pay it back. America was the first country in the world to outlaw slavery. Today, slavery still exists in parts of the world. Socialization of healthcare is, in mine and many others opinion, a modified form of slavery. Are we, the “free and the proud,” returning to sla...
It was a shock and a sad day for members of Alcoholics Anonymous when the group received a letter from the Rainbow Grange stating it would close its hall to both the 62-year-old Friday night meeting as well as the Sunday night meeting at the end of March. The Grange, like Grange halls all across America, have, through allowing a meeting place, been a tremendous help to recovering alcoholics since AA’s formation in 1935; and this particular hall since 1948. The announcement left directors and members of both meetings s... Full story
For many years the Grange has rented the Grange hall to two local Alcoholics Anonymous groups at a considerable discount as a meeting place. The Rainbow Valley Grange has and will continue to support the mission of Alcoholics Anonymous. In the last year, this business relationship has become untenable for the Grange. Repeatedly, after AA meetings, the Grange hall has been left unsecured with windows and doors left open. Both AA groups were advised of the situation. The problems continued and the rental agreement terminated... Full story
I wanted to thank Merrilee Neal and all those from Fallbrook Martial Arts that offered the free self defense class at Zion on March 19.

Several of us, ranging from seniors to teenage girls, attended a free self defense lesson on March 21 in Fallbrook at the United Studios of Self Defense. I was surprised there weren’t more people there, especially following the recent murders of two teenage girls. The instructors were patient and we learned many ways to defend ourselves. All this helps give us confidence knowing we have ways to protect ourselves and lessen our likelihood of being a victim. Beware you villains… there are now some very able women in Fal... Full story
