Searching for a community of artists in a small town with the potential to be a major arts destination, Alan Hochman found what he was looking for in Fallbrook. His present studio is in Cave Creek, AZ (north of Scottsdale), which is no longer the small town he moved to ten years ago.

Much to his surprise, the housing growth has not diminished his life’s work. 4-H, FFA and many resid...
During the fall my thoughts always return to the days of when I taught cooking. First in was at established cooking schools and then later at my own endeavor: Judith Bell’s Cooking Kitchen. What fun! Wonderful delicious recipes that fill several three-ring binders remain as a tangible heritage. From time to time I take those binders from the shelves. Leisurely I page through them. Can you believe that I actually “taste” the recipes as I read them? I also remember with gratitude the wonderful people who filled those class... Full story
Memorabilia abounds at the Lawrence Welk Museum at the Welk Resort. Photographs of Welk as Grand Marshal of the Rose Parade in 1972, three gold records and the largest champagne glass I’ve ever seen. The six-foot-tall champagne glass is made of crystal with a solid stem and a bowl fashioned with individual crystals attached to a wire backing. No one seems to know how many crystals it took to make the glass; and I had neither the time nor the patience to count them myself. This unique piece of stemware was created for W...

But as many dermatologists will tell you, just because Labor Day has come and gone that doesn’t mean the responsibility of taking care of your skin is gone, too. As the seasons change fro...

No one ever wants to think it will happen in their hometown, but the reality is that a terrorist attack can happen any time, any place, including in Fallbrook. Understanding that “first responders” serve as America’s first line of defense in any terrorist attack, it is critical that emergency personnel be properly trained and equipped because these first responders have the greatest potential to save lives, limit casualties and minimize environmental impacts immediately following an attack.
