Yesterday my husband and I went to the Alvarado Animal hospital to say a last goodbye to our furry pet who had cancer. When we arrived at the hospital, our car battery died, and we were stuck in the middle of the parking area. One of Dr. Jones’ assistants came out to give us a jump start, and we moved out of the way before the car died again.Then, another patient came out to see if they could help, and they ended up going out to buy us a new battery. These other patients were new in town and had decided that this was the p...
I know many of you have voted, hopefully as if your life and the life of our republic is at stake, because it is. If you have not, it is imperative that you realize the consequences – Capitalism over Socialism which is the next step to Communism, no matter what the left says. It is in our hands as patriots to count on our strength as citizens to exercise our God given right to choose the direction of our country. Don't let the radical left dictate to us. Stand up and be counted as Americans. It is our duty to speak up for o...
I am writing this letter on behalf of Stephani Baxter who is a local candidate running for the Fallbrook Planning Group. When I resigned from the Planning Group in 2019 because of a move out of the area, I made a recommendation for Stephani to be appointed to my seat on the group, which was approved by the group. Stephani has been active on many organizations and nonprofits in Fallbrook. Those include, for example, The Community Benefit Group, the Fallbrook Planning Group Parks and Recreation, Live Oak Park Coalition Children...
This past Friday, I scrolled through my phone and came upon something I couldn’t believe. For all the absurdities that have come down from the State of California, this may take first prize. What was I reading? The state’s new guidance on private gatherings. Here are some of the points: Gatherings that include more than three households are prohibited. All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms. Gatherings should be two hours or less. Sin...

With the U.S. presidential election only 20 days away, a big October surprise emerged when Hunter Biden's alleged email communications with a Ukraine energy company were exposed by the U.S. media, along with numerous photos and videos of the young Biden. The U.S. Senate has been involved in the investigation. An exclusive report from the New York Post Wednesday exposed three of Hunter Biden's alleged emails. One of them was dated April 13, 2014, the time frame when Hunter...
It’s fair to say the vast majority of voters already know who they will be voting for president this year, if they haven’t already voted — not that it matters much in California, which will almost certainly lend its 55 electoral votes to Joe Biden. But what about down-ballot elections? The highest profile local race, between Darrell Issa and Ammar Campa-Najjar for the 50th Congressional District, appears to be a statistical dead heat, some polling has shown, giving local voters a unique chance to determine whether Democ...
Fallbrook native Jeff Woodrey is back in Fallbrook this year with his Haunted Hallows, a haunted house maze whose funds will go to support a young girl who is battling cancer. Twelve-year-old Marilyn was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma. Woodrey was connected to the family by someone he knew in Rainbow. "I've raised money for three kids now that have cancer," Woodrey said. "It's very personal to me cause my two cousins passed away from cancer, and the first two kids...
During the Tuesday, Oct. 12 meeting of the Fallbrook Union High School Board of Trustees, the trustees agreed to establish a special reserve-capital projects fund to account for money received for the Solar Photovoltaic/Battery Project financing agreement that was approved by the board last month. Called "Fund 40," the fund will be established and held at Bank of America, the escrow agent for the project, as opposed to the county treasury. The board approved the action...
In a harrowing experience for a local Fallbrook family, Shane and Liz Lingle and their two kids had damages to their home of up to $200,000, due to a water main bursting outside their home. The main belonged to the Fallbrook Public Utilities District. After going through the proper channels to try to get FPUD to pay for the damages according to their lawyer, FPUD denied the claim, which has resulted in a lawsuit filed by the family. "It was New Year's Eve, Dec. 31 of 2019,"...
Last week, Oct. 15, we ran answers from 10 of the 11 candidates for the Fallbrook Community Planning Group. Voters are able to vote for eight of the candidates. Collin Stephens’ answer to the first question was inadvertently left out, so it is below. Jim Loge was out of town when the questions were sent out, so he was not able to reply until this week. His answers are also below. Why did you decide to seek this seat? Collin Stephens: My wife and I chose Fallbrook to raise our family because of what it represents and o...

I live in a little neighborhood that surrounds the new Monserate Winey. Over my 19 years of living in this neighborhood, I have managed to collect almost 100 email addresses. I used them in the beginning to get word out about Save Gird Valley. But once that was over, I mainly used it to help people find a plumber, electrician, home keeper, or a lost dog. Sometimes I sent messages about new businesses in town opening, urging their support. It was not an open forum type thing, j...

According to Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Executive Director Jill Eaton, the breast cancer organization being forced by the COVID-19 pandemic to host its second annual More Than Pink Walk virtually may have been a blessing. "It was somewhat of a challenge to a degree, but it also allowed us to really continue to expand our footprint," Eaton said. "Our affiliate is two counties, Riverside and San Bernardino, which happened to be the largest counties in the United States. By...
Even though I have been here for two weeks, the Northern Lights have not returned. Yes, I am back in Anchorage. Family first, right? My daughter had an extreme injury last Mother’s Day while working in the remote native village of Little Diomede, Alaska. Which is why I have returned to help after her last surgery. The ugliest part about this trip is Alaska Airlines did not note on its website that a negative COVID-19 test report is required upon landing. This requirement h...
A recent analysis of San Diego County data revealed that San Diegans are waiting an average of 3.5 days after symptoms develop before they get a COVID-19 test. The delay could result in further COVID-19 exposures, especially if people do not isolate themselves from others. “People should get tested immediately after they start feeling sick,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. “They should also isolate themselves to avoid exposing those around them.” Because there is substantial spread of COVID-1...
