We drove in from Rainbow at 2:45 to get a nice spot to watch the Christmas Parade. Imagine our disappointment at finding the entire length of the parade route full of empty chairs. How rude, selfish, and unwelcoming. We feel that if you want to reserve a spot you should be sitting in it. Fallbrook really should be discouraging this practice as we can see where it could cause confrontations and other issues. We’ve lived in Fallbrook our whole lives and looked forward as a family to enjoying the parade. What a shame. B. H...
As a resident of Fallbrook who is frustrated and feels inundated by cars, I would like to know, what is going on at Camp Pendleton? The almost constant stream of traffic traveling in and out of the Base has increased 100-fold since we moved here five years ago. East Mission is constantly in use and becoming impossible to enter or exit from our street, which is near the Interstate 15 freeway. Are they building a new base? Creating a military city that no one knows about? What is going on? Anybody know? If so, please let us...
San Diego County votes are in. Congratulations to Siegrid Stillman and Lisa Masten for winning in the Fallbrook Union Elementary School District board election.

The Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary (FAS) has a new desperate need. The old van that they use to transport animals to the vet and adoptions and to pick up supplies has died. The donation of another used or small truck is needed right away. I am hoping that someone in Fallbrook might need a (non-profit) tax deduction of a used fuel efficient pet mobile. It has to have a shell over the bed if it is a truck, so that pets in cages can be transported safely. A minivan would be ideal. Also, I hope that anyone looking for a cat to add...

FALLBROOK – On Dec. 4, a huge contingent of tree huggers and local citizenry gathered to attend an educational workshop at Live Oak Park, on a new threat to oaks in Southern California. This fairly new bug, the gold spotted oak borer (GSOB), is attacking native oaks in the San Diego mountain range and so far is estimated to have killed up to 100,000 native oak trees and spreading. The goal of the workshop was to inform as many people as possible about the threat of...

Cal Fire warns everyone to not let the holiday excitement make them forget that fire knows only destruction and sorrow. Never place candles on the Christmas tree. Avoid placing a tree near the heater or other appliances. Keep the tree in water; a dry Christmas tree will burn with incredible speed, a room can be engulfed in flames and smoke in moments.
