Soroptimist International of Fallbrook has just recently agreed to take on the endeavor to host the 2014 program and is looking for volunteers to help. Soroptimist needs community support to keep this tradition going. Candidates, sponsors, and...
I am tired of seeing ads from landscaping companies that promise to “Get your Gophers.” Poison is not only cruel and in-humane for the rodents, but it affects us as well by getting into other animals like dogs, cats and birds of prey.

There are even companies that install them onto a tall metal pole. A pair of owls will use the box to nest for years. There is one four hou...
