Though mostly light to moderate showers are expected today, brief heavy downpours are possible, according to a National Weather Service advisory. The agency urged motorists to slow down on wet roads.

Once again, common sense has been destroyed by our corrupt government. The question is: Who should be allowed to vote? Did you know that originally only land owners were allowed to vote? That’s because it was their money that was going into the pot of money on which the government was going to run. They did not want anyone who had not contributed to the pot having a vote on how it was going to be spent. Doesn’t that make sense? I certainly don’t want my neighbors having a say on how I am going to spend my income. Neith...
The San Diego Federation of Republican Women and the California Federation of Republican Women disagree with the GOP regarding its position favoring the passage of Prop 31. The Federation has its own legislative analyst, who, along with a growing number of others including GOP leaders, finds this proposition to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing – 8,000 (doctoral level) words long. Watch out! Initially, the language looks good, transparency, budget improvements, but don’t be misled. As you wade through the rest of the wor...
Hospitals are a crucial community asset, and the importance of ours cannot be overstated.

I was especially pleased by the efforts of Mr. Brian Smith, MPT. He was thoughtful, concerned, courteous and compassionate. All of the staff extended me every possible service that included f...

There is a special beauty shop in our town. The name of the shop is One Shop Beauty Supplies & Salon. I have been visiting Jennifer for the last year getting my hair cut. I found out today when I went in for a haircut that she carries products for us ladies who are challenged with cancer and the result of what chemo or radiation does to our hair. If you stop by, she can order special products for you or she will find out if she can get them. I can tell you it made me feel good to know that I can get one-on-one hair care from...
The question, “Are we better off than we were four years ago?” is a ridiculously easy one to answer. Of course we aren’t. The economy is on critical, full life support. The more pressing question that Americans should be asking themselves is, “Are we safer than we were four years ago?” With the recent attack on our embassy in Libya due to fumbled security responses under President Obama, and his publicly stated plan to make deeper, more substantial cuts to the U.S. military, the American people may not have to worry whe...
Earlier this year our little community hit the national headlines with a sensational murder filled with “shades of grey” overtones; then a drug and weapons bust put us on the map again when Operation Cruel Summer culminated in the arrest of 47 local residents. Yet happily for most of us, life goes on without any major disruption in this busy, “old-fashioned,” little country enclave! Saturday, Sept. 29’s unveiling of a lovely new “Fountain of Giving” sculpture in the Village Square, for instance, was a real testimonial t... Full story
Okay my Fallbrookian friends, I’m a little scared. All around town it has started… the non-walking, non-living are among us. Have you noticed? They are everywhere you turn: Denny’s, street corners, all over Main Street, by gas stations, supermarkets, and flower shops. They have even been seen at Grangetto’s! Who are they? What are they? What do they want? If you know anything, if they are here in peace, or to steal our candy... we must know now! Nancy Robb... Full story

I believe that every American should vote for the candidate of their choice. The problem with our system is that both parties (and their representative super PACs) make it difficult for the voters to make an informed decision by spreading false, partial or misleading information. This practice is, in my view, un-American. I wish it were a crime. Ron Coulombe...
In less than 40 days we will be voting in our most crucial election. It will determine whether our country will remain the land of the free or become a part of the socialist world. Our present administration has placed us on a train of dependency headed in that direction. I appeal to all you good people to vote for the party that reflects your values. Do you want to continue to live in a land that promotes and protects abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriage, and euthanasia? Are you ready to renounce God? Look around and... Full story
