The above referenced letter parrots the GOP mantra: liberals have an entitlement mentality. Actually, entitlement mentality appears to be associated with the wealthy rather than any partisan part of the employee class. For example: 1. The wealthy who feel entitled to take the tax cuts intended for “job creators,” even though they haven’t created any jobs and have no intention to do so. 2. The wealthy who feel entitled to ship the jobs they have created overseas, while an estimated 23 million Americans are out of work. 3. CEO...
One of Bonsall/Fallbrook’s unsung heroes is wrapping up her career in the Bonsall School District. Vicky Johnson is retiring after 20 years. She’s not a teacher or an administrator, but has had a huge impact on thousands of kids. Vicky started out driving the school bus and eventually became the Jill-of-all-trades at Bonsall Elementary. Our girls call her the Busy Bee of Bonsall because she seems to be everywhere. She’s the lunch lady. She’s responsible for keeping the campus looking great. During the summer, she’s scouring e...
We need your help supporting some brave Marines and Navy Corpsmen who are returning next week and the following week from Afghanistan. They will only be at Camp Pendleton for a few days while they transition to their home base. They arrive in the uniform that they wore in Afghanistan and a few odds and ends and are really looking for a shower, a change of clothes, and some home snacks/food. They are coming having lost a buddy and would be cheered up by your support. They will not have family in the area and there is no other...

Fallbrook is known not only for its many civic-minded organizations and individuals, but moreover, for the way in which residents cooperate for the good of the community. The recently-dedicated ‘Welcome Home’ tribute to our returning military personnel on East Mission Road is a shining example of how Fallbrook works together. The tribute, with its American flag, drought tolerant landscaping, and giant boulder with a ‘welcome home’ plaque, creates a beautiful and inviting entrance to Fallbrook. Special thanks go to the vol...
It has come to my attention that rumors are going around in our “Friendly Village” from people (and you know who you are!) that have issues with Graybill Medical here in Fallbrook. In my husband’s and my case, nothing could be farther from the truth! We have been going to Graybill for the past 11 years, with Dr. David Bridgeman being our primary care physician. He and his staff, (nurses, front desk, x-ray, you name it) have all been nothing less than friendly, professional, courteous and welcoming, never making us feel rushe...
Thank you, Tom Mulholland, owner/operator of the Firehouse Broiler located at 1019 S. Main Ave. in Fallbrook! When Tom had food left over after a Fallbrook High School swim team party at his restaurant last week, he donated several trays of delicious pieces of chicken and pulled pork to the volunteers at the Fallbrook Food Pantry. Food Pantry volunteers serve others out of the goodness of their hearts and sometimes the work can get pretty hectic. They work from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., often without a break. So, the volunteers...

A unanimous CIF Board of Managers vote June 5 adopted the tiebreaking procedure currently used in the National Collegiate Athletic Association for all regular-season and post-season football games. “It will be a winner declared,” said CIF commissioner Jerry Schniepp. Regular-season football games at all levels which were tied after four quarters ended as ties until 1974, when the National Football League implemented a 15-minute sudden death overtime period.

SAN DIEGO – As summer approaches, people take advantage of the sunny weather to do outdoor projects, take their families to fun places, relax and keep cool. For criminals, however, it’s a very busy time of year. It can be easy to forget to close a door or window, but if they are left open it creates an easy opportunity for a burglar. Criminals focus on easy targets; make it difficult for them to choose you. The San Diego Sheriff’s Department wants to remind you of some tips to keep yourself, your family, your home and...
