What playbook is John Terrell reading from? To suggest that George Soros champions democracy is delusional. And to suggest that Reagan did not reduce the tax burden is again a misreading of the overall restructuring he achieved. Tax revenue did increase because of the improvement in the economy and the expansion of the tax base. He energized the business community by not only reducing tax rates but also regulations. The evidence is there for all to see. Something our current President should try. And to disparage austerity fo...
Here’s a little word of advice for anyone thinking of renting a room in their home. A friend of mine did so and after the first month the tenant became very abusive and terrorized my friend who had to have the sheriffs come out; they recognized the name. After a day in court, they came and escorted the tenant out of the home. It turned out that she had a record; unfortunately my friend did not check her out as she was recommended to her by a person who attended the same church. Be careful who you trust! Peggy Cannon C...

Jerri Patchett pulled me aside months ago and said “Don McDougal is getting ready to put Fallbrook on the map in a whole new way.” Jerri is such a fan of all things Fallbrook that I didn’t suspect that she was understating what McDougal was up to. They have created a new destination for people all over Southern California that leaves visitors struggling to find strong enough superlatives. I visited the stunning new gardens Sunday and they were teeming with visitors who were simply blown away. We were all walking around stunn...
What a wonderful lesson in individual endeavor; America my country! Were we to follow into the collectivist, socialist mind-set of the Obama under-achievers, we would fall in line behind Communist China and their aging brothers, the Communist (Putin) Russians. Hey! My country; do or die! Congratulations America! Vernon Tritchka...
No Marine goes to a combat zone without first going through the proper safety and training procedures. Yet, from 2006 to 2007 the fatality rate of Marine motorcyclists was high enough for the commandant of the Marine Corps to implement a mandatory mentor program at the battalion level, Marine Corps wide. Chief Warrant Officer 4 John C. Watson, postal director, Headquarters & Support Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, has been the president and head mentor for the...
SAN DIEGO COUNTY – Unless someone works from home, there’s little chance they can avoid spending ample time commuting to work. According to the US Census Bureau, commute time can vary greatly, depending on where one lives. But even the Census Bureau statistics indicate no one (besides those who work from home) is immune to the daily grind that is commuting. Regardless of where one lives, chances are strong everyone would prefer to cut down on their commuting costs. F...

The Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary provides an alternative for potential cruelty to animals, so cruelty to magician’s assistants at sanctuary fundraisers may be acceptable even to the assistant herself. During his 40-minute performance at an August 4 fundraiser Anthony Hernandez, known professionally as Anthony the Magic, instructed assistant Dawn Morgan to go into a basket. Hernandez then placed swords into the basket, although Morgan escaped injury. “No harm to the animals,” Morgan said. That also included the animals Herna...
Given the number of tribute bands I have been listening to lately, it is becoming easier and easier to rank them in order of most authentic to the music they are trying to replicate. After listening to HELP!, which played July 21 in Pala Casino’s Infinity Showroom, it has now grabbed my number one spot for Beatles tribute bands. First off, I must recognize the fact that Pala’s sound system in Infinity is superior, so couple that with great music and vocals, and you’ve got t...

SAN DIEGO - Researchers from San Diego State University’s Heart Institute have rejuvenated damaged cardiac tissue removed from older heart-failure patients, using modified stem cells, the university has announced. University officials said the research could eventually lead to new treatments for heart-failure patients. “Since patients with heart failure are normally elderly, their cardiac stem cells aren’t very healthy,” said Sadia Mohsin, a post-doctoral research scholar and one of the study’s authors. “We modified these bio...

In March 1917, the United States Navy swore in their first female. Ninety-five years later Lt. Kristin Love, division officer of the Patient Administration Department, Naval Hospital, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, has not only taken advantage of the ability to serve in the United States military as a female, but has pushed the status quo even further. Love is a defensive back for the San Diego Surge, an all female tackle-football team of the Women’s Football Alliance. After enjoying the thrill of flag football in c...

Jack VanderLans won both the Steer Wrestling event and the All-Around championship at the July 13-15 Cheney Rodeo in Cheney, Wash. The 2001 Fallbrook High School graduate earned $1,770 for his winning Steer Wrestling run as well as the bulldogging and All-Around buckles. “I’d never been to Cheney before, and I was just really glad that it worked out in my favor,” he said.
