Baylee Howley is a lifelong Fallbrook resident, but one of her grandfathers was born in the Philippines. That makes Howley eligible for the Filipino national youth softball team, and the Fallbrook High School junior will be on that team during the Triple Crown International Challenge tournament June 24-30 in Colorado. "I think it's a big thing for me. I've always wanted to play for something this big," Howley said. Howley was born at Fallbrook Hospital May 17, 2004. She...
Fallbrook High School's boys water polo team began play April 29, and the Warriors split their first two games. The official score of Fallbrook's April 29 home win against Rancho Buena Vista was 5-0 since that is the official score of a forfeited game. RBV only had six players and had to forfeit, but Fallbrook coach Bill Richardson and RBV coach Kim Hockett arranged to have a full game with Fallbrook loaning a handful of players to the Longhorns. The unofficial game ended...
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fallbrook resident Mike Routh had extra time on his hands, so he decided to begin a project to occupy his time. Routh has been a collision tech for 40 years, and he works at Caliber Collision in Fallbrook. He has lived in Fallbrook since 2000, and he loves being a part of the community. "I love it here," said Routh. "It's so green, it's very different from where I lived before." When the COVID-19 shutdown occurred, Routh was only working...
I had the privilege of meeting an amazingly intelligent and interesting man one morning about 20 years ago at Sunrise Cafe in Bonsall (predecessor to Z Cafe). He had lived in Fallbrook only three days. It’s always fun for me to meet someone new to our area and hear their story, so we struck up a conversation. He was originally from India but came to the U.S. to attend MIT and Wharton School of Business and later attended Dartmouth, Columbia and Kellog as well. He was one of t...
May is National Military Appreciation Month, with several observances honoring our veterans and their families, including Military Spouse Appreciation Day on May 7, Armed Forces Day on May 15 and Memorial Day on May 31. Honoring the service and sacrifice of our active-duty military and our veterans is important, but supporting them means more than holidays or national commemorations. This session I am very pleased that members of my Caucus have introduced important...
San Diego County's Local Agency Formation Commission has approved the annexation of the development originally known as Meadowood into the Rainbow Municipal Water District. A 7-0 LAFCO board vote May 3, with no City of San Diego representative present, approved the detachment of the land from the Valley Center Municipal Water District and the annexation of the property into the Rainbow district. Tri Pointe Homes is now the parent company of Pardee Homes, and the development's name has been changed from Meadowood to Citro. An...
ESCONDIDO – The key to a successful renovation to sell is only doing things that add value to your property. It's always helpful to be prepared, and that's especially true when you're scraping off tiles, tearing down cabinets and creating the kitchen of your dreams, all while hiking up your home's value. Over the years, we've helped many property owners sell their home fast by doing a few edits in their home. And here are things to consider when you're renovating to sell. D...
With a new budget that responds to voices in the community and follows a Framework for the Future that fundamentally changes our operations, the Chief Administrative Officer's recommended budget was released May 6.

Investments in both funding and...

Deputies responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call at 7:21 p.m. May 7, in the 22000 block of Margarth Street and learned that a man had struck another person with a crowbar during an argument, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. When deputies arrived at the location, they found the man in a nearby field still in possession of the cro...

Their nest has a video camera installed to help with monitoring and videos shared by the National Park Service this...

After winning a July 2020 stakes race in England, Whisper Not was sent to California for races at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and Santa Anita Park. He was entrusted to trainer Richard Baltas, who stabled the colt at the San Luis Rey Training Center in 2020 when he was not at a track. Whisper Not made his Northern California debut April 24 at Golden Gate Fields and won the Grade 3 San Francisco Mile Stakes. "It was a very good race for him," Baltas said. "He relaxed nicely." The San Francisco Mile Stakes was a one-mile turf...

Two positive COVID-19 tests wiped out four weeks of practice for the Fallbrook High School wrestling team, and the second quarantine ended the day the Warriors had a meet at San Marcos. The April 29 meet was the first of the season for Fallbrook although not the first scheduled meet, and San Marcos won the Palomar League meet by a 69-9 score. "I finally got a meet in. It didn't go well, but at least we got a chance to compete," said Fallbrook coach Cristian Vera. Although the Warriors began wrestling practice in mid-March a...
Bonsall High School's basketball team opened Sierra League play April 27 with a 54-30 home win over Chula Vista Learning Community Charter. The Legionnaires followed that game with a May 1 non-league victory at Del Lago Academy, which gave Bonsall a four-game winning streak and a 6-3 season record. "We're on a little bit of a roll," said Bonsall coach Chuck Colletti. "We're playing very good team defense and the boys are basically shooting the ball pretty well right now." The winning streak followed three consecutive losses...
Fallbrook High School's girls water polo program has 23 student-athletes. Ten of those are on the varsity roster, although some of the 13 junior varsity players are expected to see varsity action. In the absence of a 20-second exclusion penalty, seven players from each team are in the pool at one time. Having only three substitutes makes benching all starters to avoid running up the score mathematically impossible, so the Warriors opened their season with a 20-2 victory April 29 at home against Rancho Buena Vista and then...
Valley League play for Fallbrook High School's boys basketball team began April 30 with a home game against San Pasqual, and the Warriors traveled to San Pasqual for a May 1 contest. Fallbrook won both games, giving the Warriors a 2-0 league record albeit a 2-10 overall mark. "Our pre-league schedule was the hardest schedule in our league," said Fallbrook coach Moe Golshani. "It was very frustrating to start the year, but I'm glad it was the way it was." Golshani noted that the tough pre-league schedule ensured that the...

Chris and Kim Murphy of Murphy & Murphy Southern California Realty have a couple of significant reasons for their success. "It's all about relationships," said Chris. To that end, we limit how many clients we work with at a time to 15. That includes clients with homes getting ready for the market, clients with homes on the market, and clients with homes in escrow. "That way we can give them our full attention," Kim explained. And the personal approach is working. They've...
The County of San Diego will now consider reservation fees to trust and liquor license proposals on a case-by-case basis. A 4-1 Board of Supervisors vote May 4, with Joel Anderson opposed, repeals the previous county policy opposing all fee-to-trust applications and the previous policy with more stringent criteria for liquor licenses than had been the case for non-tribal land. The action directed the county's chief administrative officer to work in cooperation with tribal governments and surrounding communities to minimize...
