The bill was being debated by my colleagues and me on the Local Government Committee in response to previous l... Full story

On Friday night, July 19, at approx. 9:30 p.m., I found a large plastic container of family photos (leather albums), mementos, books, and papers at the corner of Mission Road and Highway 76 that had evidently tumbled out of someone’s vehicle and scattered on the road. I, along with some others, stopped and gathered all the items together. It is all in pretty good shape. Special note: there were some photos of a “Bears” football player #60 in it. I turned the container into the Fallbrook Sheriff’s substation on Monday,...
This is good news and will take you back years to the good old days. This happens at times, but not often in our current world. I would like to credit the good people and employees of Fresh and Easy, Fallbrook. I was so busy buying my groceries and working the checkout computer that I over looked my wallet and left it behind. I didn’t realize it until two days had passed. With the help of family and friends hunting everywhere, we were able to reconstruct my steps and last recollection of the missing wallet. It was left at F...

But when many people think of a healthy diet, a lack of flavor is often one of the first things to come to mind. That’s a common misconception, as a diet that’s healthy and full of nutrients can simultaneously be flavorful. In fact, it’s easy to enjoy many of your favorit...

However, that freedom can also lead to overspending, something that can put retirement in jeopardy if people are not careful. Though it’s understandable f... Full story
