I totally agree with the letter to the editor written by Mary Miner regarding the poor maintenance of the cemetery. I was born and raised here in Fallbrook. The house and property closest to cemetery was my grandparents’ ranch. We visit quite often due to my family members being buried there – Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Dad, Mom, Stepmother, brother, and our two beautiful sons, Justin (Nov. 2, 2009) and Daniel (Sept. 13, 2010). My husband planted grass seed on their graves; it seemed that no one could get grass to grow. I...

On a party line vote, Governor Brown’s cronies on Wednesday, June 1, approved State Assembly Bill 131, a part of the Dream Act, which will provide financial aid to illegal immigrant college students.

I, for one, don’t give a rat’s r...

Fallbrook High used to be able to boast of an open campus, nationally recognized Homecoming floats, and an exceptional girls’ field hockey team. The open campus and floats are a thing of the past, and this year, field hockey is threatened by the elimination of Coach Kathy Waite’s teaching position. Hers was the only teaching position at FUHS associated with a girls’ varsity sport. The boys’ varsity sports have six coaches on staff. The new coach’s salary as a teacher would be half of Kathy’s, so the savings to the distric...
