Makes about 2 ½ cups. Start to finish: 15 minutes The bright, tender fruit of Fuyu persimmons mellows the intensity of cranberries while lending this sauce a beautiful jewel-like hue.

CAMP PENDLETON — While isolated and outnumbered, Captain Christopher J. Bronzi directed his Marines in a deadly assault from a rooftop, which contributed to the elimination of 250 insurgents. Major Robert S. Weiler led the quick-reaction force that came to aid Bronzi when he was cornered and commanded his men on various occasions to counterattack the enemy while facing a barrage of bullets. For their actions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004, they both were awarded the Silver Star Dec. 13 — the nation’s third...
As you are probably already aware, your Boys & Girls Club of North County has kicked off another wonderful season of boys and girls youth basketball. Once again we have provided our audiences with some of the most sought-after talent in the county by hosting games (or nail-biters) that even Phil Jackson and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers would be proud of and we’re still early in our season. It is because of this tremendous turnout again this season that I felt it appropriate to say thank you to the families that have s...

For 12 days in late October and early November, 14 students, parents and teachers from Fallbrook’s Zion Lutheran School immersed themselves in a culture quite different from our own. The mission and ministry trip to rural southern China is an option that is made available to eighth grade students at Zion Lutheran School. The group spent three full days in Hong Kong and six days biking on the Mainland. Zion Lutheran School sponsors 70 students in Guangdong Province who would otherwise not have an opportunity to receive s...
The Fallbrook Public Utility District’s (FPUD) plan to tap into the Santa Margarita River took a giant leap forward Tuesday afternoon when the US House of Representatives passed a bill approving it. The bill, HR 125, passed unanimously and without controversy, as it was approved under special circumstances allowing the House to suspend the rules and approve the bill by voice vote. The bill must still be approved by the Senate and signed by President Bush before it can take effect. If that happens and the plan comes to f...
FALLBROOK — Fallbrook High School staff and students really did it this time and the Fallbrook Food Pantry couldn’t be happier! They blew away their goal of collecting 1,000 new toys for the needy during the recent Associated Student Body toy drive and instead brought in 1,800 items! Mary Moore was Toy Drive Chairperson. Two teachers who topped the charts with classroom donations were Betz Critchley and Dan Loder. These two teachers alone encouraged and coordinated donations of 900 toys. The club Sophisticated Ladies fro...
Last week, the Governor’s “Climate Action Team” released a report on how to stop global warming. Next week, we expect a report on how to stop earthquakes, tidal waves, the changing of the seasons, and the tilt of the earth. Let’s start with the title of the government unit that issued the report: the “Climate Action Team.” That title suggests the arrogance of those participating. What climate action is the team going to take? I’ve got an idea, why don’t they get rid of the winter fog in the Central Valley, and those hot Palm...

Food and Nutrition Editor Taking a cue from the tradition of “stockings hung by the chimney with care,” and the many little gifts that have become known as “stocking stuffers”, here are several jewels of recipes that are simple, delicious and perfect for many of the different occasions that happen only during the Christmas season. Tuck them into your recipe files for special occasions. Several are from John and Terri Newman, Fallbrook, featured in last week’s food column…and there was no room for these Newman family favo...

David Salm’s first experience racing motocross for season points started well December 3 with a pair of second-place finishes, and Salm also finished second in a pair of December 10 races before a broken collarbone eliminated him from season contention.

Salm, who is 13, won second in the division for 12-year-old and 13-year-old competitors December 3. He competed in two motos and was second in both. I...
FALLBROOK — In 1875 the Fall Brook (yes, two words) School District was formed from the districts of San Luis Rey, Monserate and Mount Fairview (now Bonsall) that had been formed respectively in 1869, 1870 and 1872. The early classes were held in private homes near the Live Oak Creek center of the community and by 1870 a school was referred to in a San Diego newspaper, but the site is not known. The first school on the present site, above South Live Oak Park Road and the nearby Reche Road intersection, was built in 1886. A d... Full story
SAN DIEGO — In the midst of the busiest season for air travel, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority today announced that passenger numbers for January through October 2005 have exceeded 2004 levels by almost 900,000 passengers, far exceeding demand forecasts and pointing to the possibility of an especially busy holiday air-travel period. San Diego International Airport (SDIA) served 14,601,122 passengers from January through October 2005, compared to 13,742,163 during the same period last year — a 6.3-percent inc...

One Fallbrook family is making a difference in the lives of Chinese orphans. Steve Bolt, his wife Cathy, and their five children welcomed Mary, a Chinese orphan, into their home three years ago. Last summer they added Abby to their family. Abby, now a year and a half old, is a happy smiling child like her sister Mary. “They are my sisters, and I love them just as much as my other sisters,” said Rebecca Bolt, 17. These Chinese girls would have had dim futures if it weren’t for their adoption into the Bolt family. “Typi... Full story
