  • "Divided" Division 1 team good for Fallbrook's lacrosse program

    Updated May 29, 2014

    The Fallbrook Warrior Lacrosse Club is not divided at the Division 1 level due to lack of teamwork or unity but rather because participation numbers merited a split squad with two teams playing competitive matches. The existence of both an “A” team consisting primarily of experienced players and a “B” team with mostly rookies resulted in a 1-6 record for the “A” squad and a 1-3 mark in “B” games after the teams’ April 12 matches against their Coronado counterparts, but the two-team arrangement also gives more Fallbrook pl...

  • Win over Coronado gives Division 3 lacrosse club 6-0 start

    Updated May 29, 2014

    The leadership of the Fallbrook Warrior Lacrosse Club believes that the eventual way for Fallbrook to become competitive with other lacrosse programs is to start at early levels. The success this year of Fallbrook’s Division 3 team is helping to accomplish that goal. Coronado is a perennial lacrosse power, but when the Coronado team traveled to Fallbrook for an April 12 match the Warriors captured a 10-2 victory. “It was a close game initially. They were actually the fir...

  • Exploring the amazing health benefits of reading

    Updated May 29, 2014

In addition to the intellectual benefits of reading, indulging in a good book can also boost physical health. According to Ken Pugh, PhD, president and director of research at Haskins Laboratories, which is devoted...

  • A big thanks for the help

    Updated May 29, 2014

    I live at Rancho Monserate Country Club, a senior community on Highway 395. We had the Highway Fire on May 14; we were prepared with our fire break. But there has to be a big “thanks” to all of the responding emergency people that came and helped us out. North Country Fire, S.D. County Sheriff and all of the other help from all over the state. They saved our homes! Then, SDG&E did a wonderful job restoring our power within a day and half – setting a bunch of new power poles and restringing our power so we could be bac...

  • Training has been validated

    Updated May 29, 2014

    On or about March 14, 2014, Fox5 News ran a story regarding a CH-53 USMC helicopter flying over a home in Fallbrook at an altitude of 50 feet, as verified by the residents, professional photographers. It should be noted that CH-53’s carry transponders which transmit altitude, among other data, to the FAA, and the Marine Corps reported the helo’s altitude as 1,000 feet. I know there is debate in Fallbrook regarding the noise Marines make while training. I also know many people in Fallbrook in particular, and the country in... Full story

  • Drought must not be that bad

    Updated May 29, 2014

    I’m writing in regards to the “declared” drought. If the drought is so bad, why is the county still issuing building permits that require a new water meter? Fallbrook has hundreds of homes for sale and all a person need do is to buy an existing home, remodel and they have a new home. I say to the County of San Diego, “Stop issuing water meters, until our region restores its water resources.” John Klink... Full story
