I am a member of the Fallbrook 4-H, and I would like to say thank you for all the time that my leaders of the sheep group and beef group spent helping our members to get ready for the San Diego County Fair. I would also like to say thank you to buyers JPI and Nikki Lenton for purchasing my animals. Collin Kooyman...
The Fallbrook Beautification Alliance once again has given the community a wonderful small town get-together and actually passed the test to provide funds for our community project. For those who attended, it was so good to see you there. Many beautiful sights we enjoy all year have been initiated by the FBA. If you stayed home to watch the spectacular fireworks display with your friends and family at a backyard party, or drove to a better viewing site, please support our community project by sending a donation to the FBA,...

I have an idea. Instead of spending money on fences and guards to keep our teenagers in school, why not spend it on creating an environment that inspires them to learn, text books that are not out of date and a weekly school newspaper? This list goes on, but Fallbrook’s educators decided that the solution was to simply lock them in. Fallbrook High resembles Juvenile Hall, not a school. If our school board would read the minimum amount of research on teenage behavior and mental development, they would know that the moment t... Full story
I’d like to express my good fortune of having knee replacement surgery done at Fallbrook Hospital several weeks ago. My doctor here in Murrieta explained that our local Valley hospitals would require a scheduling delay, but that he could arrange the surgery sooner in Fallbrook. I opted to go there. The doctors, nurses and volunteers all provided friendly help when needed. Now I understand why (official) hospital oversight groups have given Fallbrook’s hospital consistently high ratings compared with larger facilities nea...
A story that ran in the Mercury News (www.mercurynews.com) recently, “Governor signs bill imposing $150 firefighting fee for rural areas” should be read. According to a local fire official, almost all of Fallbrook is considered “rural” (all except four square miles of downtown), so most of us will have the privilege of paying this ridiculous $150 fee/tax. I am also told that, as written, revenue from the $150 “fee” would go to Cal Fire and an equivalent amount of general funds would be removed from Cal Fire’s budget for no...
Our news media prints senseless comments concerning carbon dioxide on Mother Earth’s surface made by dumb politicians and uneducated environmentalists. False comments originate from environmental attorneys who have no education in earth sciences and whose only goal is putting money into their own pockets as well as exterminating all living things on Mother Earth’s growing surface. They believe there are too many humans on Mother Earth; let’s eliminate them first. There are 15,000 seawater desalination plants today in the glob...

Fallbrook High School freshman Hailey Drew was selected to the all-CIF second team for softball. A panel of media members and coaches selected the all-CIF first and second teams during a May 31 meeting. Drew was the only freshman on either the first team or the second team. Drew is a shortstop, as is CIF San Diego Section softball player of the year Haley Steele. “The kid who plays her position is all-CIF player of the year, so that’s not bad company to be in,” said Fallbrook co-coach Shannon Koran. Steele graduated from...
Jamie Garcia spent Memorial Day weekend at field hockey’s Futures Development Invitational Camp. The camp was held May 27 through 30 at American University in Washington, DC. “It was very intense. The level of play was a lot better what I’ve had previously,” said Garcia, who completed her junior year at Fallbrook High School last month. “They were all elite players that were there, so they were very good.” In June 2010, Garcia played on the under-16 California regional team in the National Futures Championship tournament....

When I began writing for the Fallbrook/Bonsall Village News I started hearing complaints that Fallbrook closes down at 5:00 p.m. After covering one Saturday night event at Pala Casino, I decided not to return home that night, but rather to observe the casino during the first six hours of Sunday morning. What happens on a weekend night is likely different than what happens late on a weeknight, in part because of what restaurants and entertainment venues are or aren’t open a...
