A 115-year-old road easement at the southern end of Hill Ave. has been vacated. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0, with Ron Roberts in Washington as part of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce delegation, to vacate the easement. The vacation returns the land rights, as well as the maintenance responsibility, to property owners Robert and Shirley Fender and also removes the vacated area from setback requirements. “This was kind of an onerous restriction on the use of their property,” said Tom Harringto...

FALLBROOK - La Caseta Mexican Restaurant is now celebrating its 29th anniversary in business. Established in 1983, the restaurant was purchased in 1991 by Delos W. Eyer. Being a popular local eatery for so long, Eyer said he is now seeing the “next generation.” “We have been around so long that the children who used to come to La Caseta and the teenagers that used to work here are now bringing their children here,” he said. It is undoubtedly because everyone appreci...
If any European royals lived in North County San Diego, I imagine they would dine, at one time or another, at Le Bistro in Fallbrook’s Jackson Square. The fare is steeped in European tradition because that is where Robert Penkava, proprietor, was schooled in the culinary arts. Continental influence is evident in the cuisine as well as the décor – fine art, soothing salmon-hued walls and the gentle hum of unobtrusive classical music. Once Le Bistro’s French doors are...

One Sunday morning I preached on loving your enemies. By Sunday afternoon I was yelling at the guy who was being a jerk in the parking lot. I guess I need to go back and listen to my own message. Jesus didn’t say loving your enemies would be easy, but he did say that if we love them we would be acting as his children. He said, “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from Heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High.” (Luke...

FALLBROOK - This year, Fallbrook will have a long overdue patriotic Christmas parade theme. The 31st Annual Fallbrook Christmas Parade will promote the theme chosen by the parade committee members themselves, “A Patriotic Christmas.” Sensing a good theme was right here at the community’s back door (literally), the members of the committee deemed it appropriate to have a red, white and blue Christmas parade. This year, the People’s Choice award will go to the entry displaying the “best representation of the theme” and partici...
To be clear, Patty Christensen isn’t expecting a miracle cure. And she isn’t looking for sympathy. What the former Fallbrook High School teacher does seek is the most precious of resources – time. For the second time in 25 years, Christensen is battling breast cancer. She beat the disease in 1987 through an aggressive treatment program. But this time around, the cancer has created other health problems for the 68-year-old mother of four and grandmother to five. It is... Full story

It’s tax time, again. True, it’s nowhere near the April 15 income tax deadline; however, it is time for homeowners to dig down deep in their pockets for one of those pesky semi-annual property tax installments. Think you have until mid-December to pay your property tax? Think, again. The first installment of the 2012 property tax is due Nov. 1. The second installment is due Feb. 1. If unpaid by Dec. 11, those first installment taxes will become delinquent and subject to a 10...

Fallbrook High School’s boys water polo team won four of its five games in the Sept. 6-8 Poway Invitational tournament. “We finished significantly higher than last year,” said Fallbrook coach Bill Richardson. The official finishes in the Poway Tournament are based on brackets after each round of play rather than on overall record. Thus Fallbrook, whose only loss in the 2012 tournament was in the second round, took ninth place this year in the 28-team tournament. The Warri...
