Looking forward to a movie breeds disappointment when it turns out to be less than mediocre. “The Simpsons Movie” brought forth little laughter from the screening audience, and most of what was heard was forced. Somehow, magically, when the audience jump-started the movie with laughter, the rest of it should have turned into a mindless cascade of humor, but it never happened. Millions watch “The Simpsons” on Sunday nights for an easy laugh and to clear out their minds so they can face the challenges of the upcoming week wi...
Fallbrook is unique and special in many ways, including the ability to use its best assets to help the community. A great example of this is the Fallbrook Smiles Project (FSP).

Together, their mission is to improve access to oral and medical health for children and indigent adults. FSP was begun by community leader Don...

Eat a fresh salad every day. Aside from providing oxygen, the very source of life on Earth, chlorophyll, the molecule in plants responsible for harnessing sunlight, has been shown to significantly prevent cancer cells from reproducing. Where a cancer cell cannot reproduce itself, it dies off. Thus, chlorophyll is an effective weapon against tyrannical cancer regimes seeking to overtake your inner lands. The Cancer Society’s five fruits and vegetables a day helps to make our bodies alkaline. Cancer thrives in acidic c...

August 6 and August 9 are regarded as anniversaries of atomic bomb explosions, since those were the days in 1945 which saw bombs dropped on Japanese cities. For Fallbrook senior Lee Taylor, July 25 is also a significant anniversary in atomic bomb explosion history, since in 1946 Taylor witnessed an underground detonation 42 miles from the Bikini Atoll explosion and actually touched an airplane which had atomic dust. Taylor was an assistant boiler division officer aboard the U.S.S. Shangri-La, an Essex-class aircraft carrier,...
Off the beaten path and hidden by modern buildings lies a portal into time and space – a time warp, if you will – that beckons to young and old alike. For the young it is an adventure like no other they have experienced; for the old, it will ignite memories and feelings of a simpler time. For those of us in between, it is a rare opportunity to discover not only our roots but our connections to the future. The portal of time to which you will be given access is for 100 years (1849-1949). It is the story of the American far... Full story

The County of San Diego has accepted offers of dedication for easements of land adjacent to State Highway 76, Pankey Road, and Shearer Crossing. The easements, which will allow for road improvements required as mitigation for the Rosemary’s Mountain quarry project, were dedicated to the county rather than to the California Department of Transportation because CalTrans has no authority or procedure to accept offers to dedicate easements. The acceptance of the easement dedications, along with a resolution rescinding a 1985 d...
Such culinary bravado! Just out of college and hardly knowing sauté from slice I subscribed to Gourmet Magazine, the most haute cuisine publication known. What happened is that I sliced, diced, iced, sautéed and julienne-cut by the magazine’s recipes, adding to my home economist’s foundational base and becoming, over time, a competent and nearly fearless cook. My husband, Bob, and I would pour over each issue, select a few and then cook through the month. It was literally our “entertainment.” Looking back, I must guess that w... Full story
Although Fallbrook Community Airpark’s runway was shut down for two hours following a July 21 incident, the rare occurrence of such an event and the incident’s relative insignificance is taken as a sign of safety at the airport. The incident was only the second of 2007 at Fallbrook Community Airpark, which had 32,586 operations in 2006 and has fewer than five incidents each year. An incident is defined as an event which closes the runway and requires inspection, but neither of the 2007 incidents involved injury, significant d...
Brian Tully finished tenth in the Perris Auto Speedway’s Street Stocks main event July 28. The top-ten finish was the second consecutive one for the Fallbrook driver, who has finished in the top ten four times this year. “Every main I made this year I’ve made the top ten,” Tully said. If the car count forces a B-main to determine which drivers compete in the feature, the top four drivers in each heat race automatically advance to the A-main. The rest of the drivers run the B-main, and the top finishers compete in the A-main... Full story
