Hello, my name is Wade Colburn and I am entering the 11th grade at Fallbrook High School. I have started my own community service project called Operation: Backpacks and I need your help. My community service project requires me to collect new school supplies and new or slightly used backpacks. I then make a package to give out to needy children in the community through the Fallbrook Food Pantry. This year I received grants and help from the Fallbrook 4-H, but I want to get enough supplies to help out some 600 kids at the...
The June 30 agenda for FPUD reads exactly as follows: Item F: “Agreement with Orange Grove Energy for Potable Water – Authorize the General Manager to execute a Potable Water Agreement with Orange Grove Energy with non-substantial changes, and the Potable Water Option Agreement with Orange Grove Energy LP.” This agreement is going to be for potable water, not reclaimed water as Darlene Dakovich claims. Archie McPhee was not asleep but maybe Darlene doesn’t understand that Orange Grove Energy cannot use reclaimed water i...
FPUD’s press release “Sludge Savings” [NCT, 6/7/08] stated, “The chemicals and natural gas needed to run the sludge drying equipment are expected to cost $75,000 year.” What about manpower costs? Continuous operating plants need 4-1/7 operators for each weekly position for complete hourly coverage. Therefore, at least four FPUD (sludge drying) operators plus one supervisor are needed/week. Using salaries of $15/hour for five positions, minimum yearly salary costs would be $156,000 plus sick leave and holiday pay. Add costs...
Our family enjoys weekly hikes with our dogs along the Santa Margarita River Trail in De Luz. This is a popular local trail for hikers and horseback riders and is a beautiful way to enjoy the outdoors here. For many years people who walked the trail respected it and carried out what they carried in. Lately there has been trash left on the trail, truckloads of trash dumped at the trailhead and car break-ins and thefts. It only takes one bad apple to ruin it for the rest of us. The perpetrators should understand there are... Full story
To Mr. Robert F. Green: I guess this year we are just going to cancel out each other’s votes. You are a Republican voting Democrat and I am a lifelong Democrat, voting for the first time Republican. I cannot believe my beloved Democratic Party has been blindsided by a probably non-American candidate and you are tired of what the Republican Party has come to stand for by backing such profound and runaway capitalism. But I do believe John McCain is not going to be just another stamp of the George W. Bush regime. He is too s...
Wow, wasn’t the All-Star Homerun Derby great? Participating was a young player named Josh Hamilton. Several years ago he was in the minor leagues when a cocaine addiction forced him to drop out. During that time, he found God, got clean and, after a three-year absence, worked his way back up to the majors, a remarkable feat. The announcer told how Josh had dreamt he would be in the All-Star Homerun Derby in New York, commenting that what was incredible about Josh’s dream was that the New York location had not yet been ann...

To the liberals, President Bush is responsible for everything that has gone wrong. And to the extent that the top official is responsible, they are right. I expect when their “savior,” Barack Obama, is in office and things go bad, it will be because of the residual effect of the Bush years. Liberals are not known for accepting any responsibility. This is probably the most important election in a long time. A word of caution to the Obama supporters: his position against free trade and for raising taxes mimics policies imp... Full story
During the last Hot Summer Nites, I accompanied the very gregarious Bob Hamilton, Democratic candidate for congressman, down Main Avenue as he greeted visitors and introduced himself. I was wearing my “funny Democratic hat” soliciting voter registrations. As we passed two old gentlemen seated on a bench, I overheard one turn to the other and say under his breath, “Democrats! You mean we got them in town now?” I was highly amused. Later, as some of us were comparing stories about “Democrats in Fallbrook,” one native born... Full story
I too was at the FPUD board meeting McPhee describes. It is true that Ms. Howland “expressed disgust except it was really a disguised contempt for public officials who get all of $40 a meeting to listen to their names be scandalized.” McPhee says that Chairman Hayden and GM Lewinger disrespectfully laughed during her presentation. This was not correct. I was present for the full meeting and the board and staff were unfailingly courteous to the members of the public even in disagreement. At the end of the meeting most of the...
A British court just ruled that the UK government unfairly denied anti-dementia drugs to Alzheimer’s patients. The government refused to cover the drugs in order to save money. This kind of penny-pinching happens all too often in Britain, thanks to its national “comparative effectiveness” agency. The agency conducts studies on the relative effectiveness of various medical treatments, analyzing how different options stack up against one another. Those findings determine which treatments get covered by the British healt...
I have lived in the area for more than 50 years. I have, with full knowledge of the potential of noise, smoke and other annoyances from Camp Pendleton, chosen a place to live in Fallbrook that receives the full and direct impact of the noises from our neighboring military base and training facility. I am personally thankful that Camp Pendleton is there helping to protect us from those who would harm us as a nation and from the encroachment of Orange County. Whenever I hear a boom or cannon fire from Camp Pendleton, I sleep... Full story

The Riders will appear in Fallbrook August 2 at 7:30 at the Mission Theater, 231 North Main, as part of the Fallbrook Americana Music Series.

FALLBROOK — The Fallbrook Players will hold auditions on Tuesday, July 29, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Christ The King Lutheran Church for the production of “Noises Off.” Auditions are open to actors age 18 and over. “Noises Off,” Michael Frayn’s brilliantly witty farce, follows the on- and off-stage antics of a touring company as they stumble from dress rehearsal to disastrous last night of the farcical comedy “Nothing On.” The production will be offered at the Mission Theatre September 26-28 and October 3-5. Audition appoin... Full story
