Thanks, Phyllis Molloff, for your May 2 letter, asking for a safe place for the dogs of the Animal Sanctuary to run and play. We want you to know that we certainly agree, and that all the dogs of Fallbrook need such a space, a fenced area where they can run unleashed, exercise, and socialize with other dogs. In other words, Fallbrook needs a dog park/off leash area. We have formed a group to work to make this dream a reality, and so far we have gathered almost a thousand signatures on a petition to show support for a...
Jeremiah’s House is a group home for adults with developmental disabilities. Imagine our delight when we were approached by North Coast Church to be a recipient of their Weekend of Service! They made the sloped backyard safe and useful for the persons living here. They also re-landscaped the yard, painted the house, and did electrical work inside the house, which only scratches the surface of the amount of work done in one weekend. We, the owners of Jeremiah’s House, felt the love and support of the community at every tur...
I am once more collecting formal evening wear for the 2013 Camp Pendleton Marine and Navy Balls, which includes ball gowns, cocktail dresses, tuxedoes, etc. This year, Camp Pendleton prefers not to have separates. It is spring, and an excellent time to be going through your clothes, to find those glitzy gowns which you no longer wear, or have outworn, which are hanging woefully and unused in your closet – gowns that have been used on cruises, at balls and for other memorable times in days gone by. You might consider...
Because of the bad local news of the possible demise of our local hospital, I am writing to express my horror at the thought. Over the years, we have used the hospital and have always been impressed with our care and the consideration of all the staff. As we grow older, we appreciate the close proximity also. As for driving out of town, that’s impossible. We respect and love our Fallbrook Hospital and the people who work there and pray it will be with us forever. With gratitude and love, Nancy & Michael Br... Full story
We’ve seen the fires in the news; we remember the 2007 fires that destroyed over 200 homes in Fallbrook. This year we already see large expanses of dry, yellow areas that usually signal fire season in the fall. I appreciate seeing that many people are responsibly clearing the combustible materials on their properties. Cutting your weeds, clearing dead and dry brush and trees, and dead palm fronds, are all fire prevention measures which help protect our wonderful community and look great, too. Thank you! DeAnne M...

FALLBROOK – During the Young Eagles rally held at Fallbrook Airpark on Saturday, April 27, the 1,000th youngster was flown out of Fallbrook Air Park. The Young Eagle was Dacy Denton, 8, of Fallbrook, and the pilot was Don Evans, also of Fallbrook. Evans directed the local FFCAP/Chapter 1279 Young Eagles program until late last year, so it was appropriate he should make the 1,000th local Young Eagle flight. Later on the same day, Evans flew his 100th Young Eagle flight....
Saturday, April 27 was a good day. I participate in the EAA Young Eagles program, where pilots share their passion of aviation and offer a short airplane ride to young people so they might experience the joy of flight. I have flown many kids and my experience is that some are very excited, some are indifferent, some are a little apprehensive, and some are scared to death. This story is about a young man that was in the last category. On April 27, we had about 50 excited kids... Full story
