The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted to maintain the fire mitigation fee rates paid by developers to fund the cost of fire department facilities serving the new development. The supervisors’ 4-0 vote March 26, with Ron Roberts absent, maintained the fee for non-agricultural construction at 46 cents per square foot, which would equate to a fee of $920 for a 2,000 square foot structure. The supervisors also accepted the Fire Mitigation Fee Review Committee’s annual report and found that the 26 participating fire age...

FALLBROOK — Brianna Stofflet, Brittany Doherty, Brittany Mahr and Brooke Heuttl carry the nickname “Killer Bs.” These girls move in unison, covering the outfield with dynamism.

The whole team agrees these girls have a lot of fight in them and they will never give up. Stofflet is a freshman, playing her first season as a Warrior. Her teammates say she i...
Fallbrook High School graduate Austin Way became the first Cal State University San Marcos baseball player to hit three home runs in the same game. Way also drove in eight runs in the Cougars’ 24-3 victory March 22 over Principia at San Marcos. The three home runs that day also gave him five over two consecutive games, as he hit two homers March 21 at home against Azusa Pacific, and seven over a span of four consecutive games. “He’s actually done a great job offensively for us the last two years. He’s really bought into wh...

Fallbrook High School senior Bret Hasvold not only won the 1,500-meter run at the Torrey Pines Invitational March 22 but also set a meet record for that race. Hasvold won the race in 4:03 and finished eight seconds ahead of his nearest competitor. The meet record of 4:06 had been set in 1999. “It was pretty cool,” Hasvold said of setting the record. “I felt really good when I was running and had a good feeling after,” Hasvold said. “I was hoping I could break four minutes, but there was no one else around me so it made it k...
Fallbrook High School junior Brett Jones earned a berth in the state wresting tournament February 29 and March 1 in Bakersfield. Jones lost both his matches in the double-elimination tournament on points, 6-5 and 4-3. “It wasn’t like they dominated him,” said Fallbrook wrestling coach Roye Oliver. “He was in there.” Jones earned first-team all-league honors after winning the 112-pound weight class in the Avocado League meet. “He really dominated the league and showed that he was definitely one of the contenders in the San...

A group of members from St. John’s Episcopal Church in Fallbrook will be in the audience to welcome their Presiding Bishop, the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, at a special visit April 5 at 4 p.m. at Good Samaritan in UTC. “We look forward to welcoming Bishop Katharine,” said churchgoer Gail Jones. “This is truly a wonderful, good news moment for our diocese.” The Presiding Bishop visits each of the 110 dioceses during her nine-year term; quite likely this will be the only time she will visit the Episcopal Diocese o...
If you’re anything like me, you have a hard time keeping track of when Easter falls from year to year. Some years it’s at the end of April – and then others it gets packed in with Saint Patrick’s Day! Making it even more confusing, in other parts of the world Christians follow a totally different schedule altogether. I discovered this some years back when I celebrated Easter twice in the same year – once here in the United States, and then seven days later in Eastern Europe. Christians there follow the Orthodox calendar...
My son Chris and I always go to Sunrise service on Easter. It’s our tradition and we love it. No squeezing into overstuffed Easter pews, we relish the fresh outdoors and heart-filled, crispy cool worship. This year was perfect as Fr. Bud soaked us with holy water, scripture and profound thoughts as the sun crested over the trees and broke light on a gorgeous day! Home again, I slipped into a warm fuzzy blanket and some contemplative time with our Lord, as my son thawed out in the shower. I couldn’t help but ponder, “Re... Full story
The blue pickup swerves, then skids into the dirt, its front end buried in brush. As the driver of the truck jumps out, gun blazing, the white law enforcement SUV following it slams to a stop, an officer fires at the driver, wounding him, and within seconds, a blur of brown fur bolts across the ground. Moments later, the driver of the pickup lays face down on the ground and his fleeing companion struggles in the jaws of a canine police officer. Kevin McGuire and Carolina Dvorak watch wide-eyed along with other Fallbrook high...

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has a public comment session for items under jurisdiction of the county but not on the meeting’s agenda. The supervisors cannot take action on such items at that time, but sometimes those matters can be handled by county staff without the need for the supervisors to take action. Such a resolution is likely in the case of three Rainbow community representatives who expressed concern about unpermitted commercial signs along Interstate 15 during the supervisors’ March 26 meeting. Because... Full story

Her major is writing and literature, but she plans to be a teacher. She also tutors... Full story
