Sheriff’s deputies have arrested a suspect believed to be involved in several commercial burglaries that occurred on October 27 in Bonsall’s River Village shopping center and other locations in Fallbrook.

Although the statistics don’t prove their claim, California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers working the Fallbrook/Bonsall beat have openly said it seems more and more frequent that they are responding to cases of hit and run in the village. From the statistical standpoint, CHP public information officer Chris Parent reports that there were a total of 3,471 collisions in the Oceanside CHP’s jurisdiction in the past year, with 444 of those collisions being classified as hit and runs (colliding with another vehicle or pro...
SAN DIEGO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES - A Pacific storm system moving into the area this weekend may not shed as much rain on the area as first thought, National Weather Service experts have said. Tracking of the storm has been unusually difficult for accurate prediction purposes, they said, because of the complex forces driving the storm. The storm will be drifting south through Friday and is now expected to turn east over the weekend, depending on how far south it tracks. Friday's high is expected to be 73 degrees with 20 percen...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was founded in 1988. This organization is supported by many nations to evaluate research conducted by scientists throughout the world who are assessing the risk of climate change caused by human activity. Subsequently, climatologists analyze the IPCC publications and confer to exchange information. Some critics have rightly presented arguments against methodologies or conclusions of some volcanic and sunspot studies, and of using air samples from pockets of air trapped in...
Did you ever wonder what the differences are between liberals and conservatives? Here are some good examples of the differences: If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants the guns outlawed. If a conservative is vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat. If a liberal is vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a conservative is down and out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn...

It appears that the Occupy Wall Street folks are having trouble expressing what it is they are really after. I believe it is freedom and democracy, as opposed to greed and these political dog and pony shows. I went downtown to listen, and little, if anything, was said about the seven hundred and seventy five new laws passed by our Governor and so called Representatives. More laws in this state are the last thing on Earth we need, especially ones we don’t vote on. Democracy is the finest form of government in the world. It c... Full story
Brad Urquhart finished second in his October 15 heat race at Barona Speedway before finishing sixth in that night’s Pure Stocks main event. “It’s all about finding the right shock-spring combination to keep the car from pushing and bouncing on the turns,” Urquhart said. “In previous races my car has been pushing out badly, especially on turns three and four. So I experimented with lower inside tire pressure to see if that would help.” The heat race was his first competitive ex... Full story

James Robison concluded the Barona Speedway’s Pony Stocks season with a sixth-place finish in the October 29 main event. “Sixth place, I’m not unhappy with that,” Robison said. Robison’s finish in the 30-lap Ed Hale Classic also secured ninth place in the final season point standings for the Fallbrook driver. “We’ve managed to just keep pushing through, persevering to get the car back on the track every race,” Robison said. Robison actually competed in nine of the season’s 17 races, although that includes one in which he did...
It would be ideal if we could drive out to Pala Casino on a Saturday night and hear the legendary Rolling Stones live in concert. Understanding that you can’t always get what you want, how much should one expect from a tribute band? After sitting in on a performance of Rolling The Stones October 29 in the Infinity room of Pala Casino, I had to evaluate my expectations against reality. After all, if band members were absolute ringers for the original artists, they wouldn’t nee...
The November 4 opening of the movie “Tower Heist” was not intended to coincide with the “Occupy Wall Street” protest. The movie was in production prior to the protest, and it’s also not the first time Eddie Murphy has starred as an African-American hoodlum who helps workers get rich at the expense of the investment barons who abused them. While “Tower Heist” has similarities to “Trading Places”, there are also enough significant differences that it’s not by any means a remake of the 1983 film. “Trading Places” involved the...
PALA – San Diego comedian Sean Kelly, star of TruTV’s hit show, Storage Hunters, will be the opening act when comedian Rob Schneider brings his new stand-up show to Pala Casino’s Infinity showroom at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 12. Kelly’s high energy and over-the-top auctioneering skills are well known from Storage Hunters and that same energy and his stage presence are hard to contain and explain. He is kind of like watching a latch-key child who has a month’s supply of sugar and only five minutes to destroy his par... Full story
