During Patti Skipton’s previous tenure at Rawhide Ranch the facility had a competitive equestrian vaulting team. That team disbanded after Skipton moved to Watsonville in 1983 but, after her return to Rawhide Ranch in August, the Encore Equestrian Vaulters team was formed in September. “This is kind of an encore of the competitive team,” Skipton said. The Encore Equestrian Vaulters team has not yet had a competitive event, but an exhibition took place Nov. 22 at Rawhide Ranch... Full story

FALLBROOK – North County Fire is pleased to announce the recent promotion and introduction of new hires. The district has recently loss a number of employees due to retirement (most of them had 25 years or more in the fire service). With those retirements North County has promoted three captains, two engineers, and has hired five full time firefighters/paramedics, along with five reserves (who are part-time). The last time the district had this much movement was 1990,...

A firm that has operated quietly in Temecula for the past four years has tapped the growing demand for human bodies for research, training, and other medical uses. It traces its roots to the mortuary industry. “It did kind of grow out of that,” said Peter Hamilton, vice president of California operations for Research For Life. The company has a dual purpose. It offers a no cost alternative to cremations and scattering ashes at sea. It also helps alleviate a shortage of hum... Full story

I see that FPUD has still not corrected last year’s misinformation regarding how this charge is calculated. Last year, after reading that sewer charges would be based on the lowest winter month’s water usage, we managed to keep our use below 1,000 gals for one winter month, expecting that our sewer charge would be calculated on 1 unit (=1,000 gals). We later were told, however, that FPUD disregards water usage below 1 unit - viewing such as “zero” water use. Instead, they chose to use a month with a higher reading. I needed...
Sharing memorable experiences with people is what you do during the holidays. I did that recently in Fallbrook, starting with the inaugural Christmas Tree lighting on Dec. 5, the Fallbrook Christmas Parade on Dec. 6, and “Scrooge, the Musical,” on Dec. 7. I not only shared wonderful experiences with a few people, but with a whole community of them. Fairly new to Fallbrook, I was amazed Dec. 5 at the different programs in our town and the number of volunteers that make them run efficiently. Moving from table to table at the... Full story
While the turnout for the election was low, it did provide an opportunity for the strong of heart to vote for a change – not losing faith or hope. The good life belongs to those who will make sacrifices to enjoy the fruits of their labor and provide an example for others who could improve their condition in life. While I consider myself an ‘independent’ – devoid of a political label, I feel compelled to point out that we are now at the back end of a ‘Democratic’ administration which promised to “lift the poor and...

Illegals are an insult to every legal immigrant in this country, of which I am one. They are, also, a slap in the face to every other person waiting in line to immigrate legally. Yes, our immigration laws are certainly broken. If they weren’t, these people would have been deported years ago. Granting amnesty to criminals only perpetuates the criminal mentality. Look at Ferguson. Apparently, the protesters don’t think the police have the right to try and control someone who has just committed a strong-armed robbery and ref...
On Dec. 10, at the California Retired Teachers Association breakfast, we were honored to be entertained by the Fallbrook High School Madrigals. I have to say that they, under the direction of Heather Smith, are a musical group that Fallbrook can be very proud of. They performed several seasonal numbers with beautiful harmonic arrangements and delightful chorography. The group of about 20 students presented themselves with dignity, bright happy countenances, and great stage presence. What a joy and worthwhile experience it...
Finally, Caltrans is widening and straightening Highway 76 between Mission Rd. and Interstate 15. It is long overdue. Today (Mon., Dec. 8), as I write this, there was another serious, head-on collision on Highway 76, east of Gird Rd. Two people were seriously injured. Caltrans has placed over a mile of k-rail dividers on the south side of 76 between Mission Rd. and Gird Rd. I suspect that in the near future more will be coming between Gird Rd. and Interstate 15. Adding k-rails makes a narrow road even narrower. It takes away...
Over a 1,000 people came to the official tree lighting at the Fallbrook Community Center. For the first time in 30 years, the tree was lit for the holidays. It took our entire village. The Friends of the Fallbrook Community Center spent over a year creating the event. County Parks & Recreation and center staff volunteered many hours of non-paid time. The County of San Diego Board of Supervisors generously granted a request to help fund the vision and local businesses,...
