t’s that time of year, once again, when we enjoy a new Sourcebook, celebrating the Julie Reeder people, organizations, and businesses that make our little hamlets so wonderful. No wonder people from everywhere continue to find our rolling hills, our beautiful homes, our restaurants and our natural landscape so appealing.

This year in the Sourcebook we consider the agricultural workers who make our exports of flowers, citrus, avocados, Dragon fruit and wine, to name a few, available to the rest of the world. You will go back in time and peek into the world of Oscar winner Frank Capra and his classic favorite “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

Longtime resident Gary Vix, in his story, asks you to consider whether Bedford Falls, the fictional town in the movie, was really modeled after Fallbrook. Did you know this is where Capra lived and was raising his family while writing and directing that movie that has inspired millions of people?

You will learn about people who presently live here and have businesses that touch people locally, all over the country and possibly the world. We highlight a group of lady business owners downtown who are dedicated to your personal health and fitness. You will read about our new resident who is the president of Wienerschnitzel (how fun is that?) and Tom Casey who is bringing hope to those with degenerative diseases.

Sourcebook is produced each year by the Fallbrook/Bonsall Village News. Our staff is in a unique position to know all the amazing things our residents are accomplishing and the efforts of groups like Rotary, or the Land Conservancy, the Village Association, the Fallbrook Food Pantry, the Fallbrook Foundation for Senior Care and the Pala Band of Mission Indians. The greater Fallbrook area, which includes Bonsall, DeLuz, Rainbow, Pala and Pauma, is nothing short of amazing. It’s no wonder our real estate values have shot up astronomically while people from the cities flock to our little villages.

Over the last two years we’ve, yet again, had to work smarter and harder. Village News has continually proven how important community is. We are an integral and crucial part of our community, especially since we’re unincorporated. We don’t have a city hall or an elected city council. Our town is fueled by volunteers, and we depend heavily on our elected county supervisor and also our Chamber of Commerce. Village News serves as a hub of reliable communication, keeping everyone informed and providing an outlet for public discourse. Day after day, 24/7, we keep those communication gears greased with trusted information that keeps our community moving forward, whether it’s road conditions and accidents to avoid, local crime, water issues, real estate values, new businesses, education and youth sports, or public health issues like COVID-19.

We are here for you individually and for everyone collectively. Now, more than ever, we need our community to support us through subscriptions or even donations. $69 a year or $5 a month may seem a small thing, but collectively it’s our life blood, and our writers, photographers, marketing experts and leaders love being here to serve every one of you. You are an important part of our community. Thank you for your contribution to us as we support our entire community!

Blessings, Julie Reeder Publisher

Since the 1950s, the Fallbrook Camera Club has been helping shutterbugs focus on their craft

A

by Sandra Shrader

s far as photography clubs go, the Fallbrook Camera Club has had a very long exposure time.

For nearly three-quarters of a century, camera enthusiasts with the local club have been seizing the light and capturing the moment, or more accurately, capturing the split second.

Along with other camera clubs in North County San Diego, the Fallbrook Camera Club began in the 1950s when advances in camera designs, single lens reflex technology and 35mm photo

slides led to a mania for photography all across the country.

Nearby camera clubs in Vista, Carlsbad, Escondido, Rancho Bernardo also sprung up, and like the Fallbrook Camera Club, were affiliated with the Associated Camera Clubs of America (ACCA), a parent organization which had first formed in 1919 and later became integrated into the Photographic Society of America (PSA) in 1934.

However, by the late 1980s, most of the clubs had ceased operating. Only the Fallbrook Camera Club remains listed as a member of the ACCA, and serving all of North County San Diego, according to Lin Craft, current president of the Fallbrook Camera Club.

“There were quite a few camera clubs in this area for a number of years,” said Craft, a marine biologist and photographer who joined the Fallbrook club in 1986.

“But I think it’s likely that they ‘aged out’, meaning that those members who were into photography passed away and there wasn’t enough interest to keep the clubs going. One by one, they folded. Happily, though, that didn’t happen here with the Fallbrook Camera Club.”

The beginning history of the Fallbrook photography club during its Kodachrome years of the 1950s and 1960s has faded into partial obscurity. But a May, 1994 article by The Enterprise (a now-defunct Fallbrook newspaper) pinpointed the year of the club’s formation as 1950.

Additionally, one of the Fallbrook Camera Club’s earliest known exhibits was held along with a traveling art show at the Fallbrook high school library in 1953.

During the following decades, the Fallbrook Camera Club rolled with changes in camera technology, and it has seen the popularity of film slides be replaced by prints and yet again by digital photography.

Important changes in camera technology, smaller cameras and the modification of the once-complex single lens reflex (SLR) function, changed photography for millions of people and led to the formation of camera clubs.

“The advent of modern SLR cameras was a reason that people got interested in photography in the 1950s,” said Craft, adding that the development of 35mm film and interchangeable lens www.my-sourcebook.com

(standard, zoom, wide angle, etc.) were also factors. “It became easier to get good photos, and it took photography as a hobby to a serious level.”

A SLR camera is a camera that typically uses a mirror and prism system that permits the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly what will be captured, thus resolving focus and depth of field issues experienced with earlier cameras.

By the mid-2000s, professional-style SLR cameras also made the transition to digital on a mass scale. The digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras could swap lenses with their film ancestors, while enjoying the benefits of high-capacity digital memory and a

handy screen on the back.

“Digital cameras turned photography upside down,” said Craft. “Photographers didn’t need to buy film any more or need to deal with getting the film processed. Instead they could buy memory cards, plug them into their computers and see immediate results.”

Another change in photography which accompanied DSLRs has been the use of photo editing software such as the widelyused Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.

“All digital photography needs digital post-processing,” said Craft. “It’s not really cheating, but actually a way to return the

image to what you saw when you took the picture.”

Another unexpected benefit with digital photos is the easy ability to share images via video-conferencing, according to Mike Reardon, former president of the Fallbrook Camera Club.

“Over the past two years, we were unable to hold our meetings in person due to COVID-19 restrictions,” said Reardon. “But we were able to keep the club going by having virtual meetings via Zoom and sharing digital images, something that was not possible with print images and slides.”

2021 Judge’s Choice “Touchingly Independent”

by Barbara Altevers

The video-conferences also brought in new members from different areas outside of Fallbrook, said Reardon, so there is some discussion by club members about continuing the Zoom meetings as well as returning to in-person gatherings for the competitions and programs.

According to the Fallbrook Camera Club’s Facebook site, meetings are normally held on the first and third Mondays of each month between February and November.

The first meeting of each month is a competition. A judge evaluates and scores images (digital, prints and slides, according to Reardon, there are still a couple of photographers in the club who create slide photos) submitted by the members. The scores are totaled throughout the year and awards in various categories are made at the end of the year.

The categories are Color, MonoChrome (black and white or in varying tones of only one color), Nature Open, Nature Wildlife and Travel. Also given out are the Lakata Award and the Kovach Award as well as three “Judges’ Choice” awards which are accompanied by comments from the judges.

by Bill Carnahan The programs may include presentations by other photographers, image editing, travel and other subjects of interest to shutterbugs. There are occasional photo field trips organized by members.

Both Reardon, who joined the Fallbrook Camera Club in 2008, and Craft acknowledge that the camera capability in smart phones is increasing as well as other technical innovations in photography equipment will occur in the future.

rapher’s power of observation and emotional connection with the places, the people, and the subjects being photographed.

“I am sure that there will be some more changes with camera technology in the future,” said Reardon. “But I believe the camera itself isn’t, and never will be, as important as the person behind the lens.”

The Adventurous Life and Writings of Dan Feltham A

by Nathalie Taylor

dventure comes in many forms, and Fallbrook author, Dan Feltham, age 87, has experienced adventure for much of his lifetime, especially at sea, where boundaries are endless, and oftentimes, the next adventure is just over the horizon. Dan has ridden the trade winds of life, experiencing the thrill of adventurous traveling and sailing. His experiences were Dan Feltham sailing off Oceanside.

punctuated by various emotions, including fear and sorrow. These adventures were also shared with many wonderful friends. Dan’s life experiences seeped into his soul and emerged in the form of novels.

This adventurer has loved the sea from his very beginning. Born in Long Beach, and raised in Southern California, he started sailing at age 14. Dan earned a BS degree in

geology from Stanford University, and then attended UCLA to pursue graduate studies.

Dan’s career, as well as his sailing adventures, took him to many exotic destinations, including India, Sicily, Morocco, Libya, Iran, Kwajalein Atoll, Southeast Asia and Saudi Arabia. Some of the places that he considers “special,” are Isfahan, Iran; Marrakesh, Morocco, and all of Southeast Asia. After he retired, Dan began to write stories inspired by experiences in these exotic destinations.

In 2012, his first book was self-published. It is a nonfiction account of his three years in Vietnam during what he calls, “that horrible war.” He noted, “My book is not a war story, but takes place in a war zone. To my knowledge, it is the only book written by and about American contractors supporting the U.S. military. It is a story that had to be told because of what happened to IBM Vietnamese employees when Saigon fell.”

Since then, he has written 11 novels and is working on his next.

They are fiction, but based on his life experiences. Among other elements, his stories are filled with history and romance.

Dan does a “great deal of research to make sure that the place/ time...is as actual as I can make it, right down to street names, mountain elevations, climate and actual history...”

When asked about his literary influences, Dan replied, “I have been a reader all my life, going back to childhood with the flashlight under the covers.” He has read many classics by authors such as Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck and Herman Melville.

However, he also enjoyed sci-fi writers such as Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov.

Life experiences that he has used in his novels include three Transpacific Yacht Races from San Pedro to Hawaii, as well at participation in the 1976 Olympic Sailing Trials. Other sailing adventures – throughout a 60 year period – took place in Mexico, Bermuda, Panama, New Zealand, Fiji, Tahiti, and most Caribbean Islands.

During his time as an aerial surveyor, Dan was given geology exploration assignments in various countries, including North Africa. Experiences in Libya inspired the novel, Egyptian Gold, where he recounts flights over the vast Sahara and the Mediterranean.

Excerpts from Egyptian Gold: “Without water, a human shrivels and dies within two days – three days max. The Sahara is fascinating, somewhere between scorched ugly and raw beauty. No rivers flow – Libya is a whole country devoid of rivers.”

hear only the scuff of his own lonely boots or the nighttime bark of a hunting Fennec fox or jackal. It would have been the perfect definition of total solitude.”

Dan, who has been remarkably energetic, took experiences from his racing and cruising days, then tenaciously integrated them into his novels.

Excerpts from Trade Winds Calling: “We hadn’t seen another boat for several days and the racing fleet was spread out over hundreds of white-capped square miles... ...Undine would roar down the face of each steep wave, her heaviest spinnaker stretched to its limit... ...The nautical miles were flying by and we had come through the strongest winds of the race in excellent shape.”

Excerpts from Under the Southern Cross: “Cherish seemed to take on the deep blue rolling seas with the joy of a freed bronco that wanted to run wild on an open range. ...My heart sang with the new freedom. ...I’m not just playing temporary hooky from my past life; I’m now in charge of a whole new way of living. I had no idea of how much I would learn and appreciate in the next few weeks. ...I mentally embraced a new future; my dream was becoming reality.”

Adventure has defined much of Dan’s life, and will continue to define it as long as he can share his experiences with readers. As he writes his twelfth novel, at age 87, Dan notes, “I started late, I plan to finish late.”

Nikki Harmer Helping to Change Lives at

REINS

ot many are able to enjoy every working day doing what they know is their life’s calling. Nikki Harmer lives life enjoying a career that she has known was her destiny since age 12. There is also a deep satisfaction in knowing that the work that she does is changing lives. Not only that, but Nikki has been able to pair her life work with her love of horses. This 25-year-old has a special connection with horses.

Nikki works at a horsemanship facility in Fallbrook called REINS, where many lives are changed. In 1984, before REINS was located on Mission Road, the program was born in the hearts of a group of mothers who set up the facility in a local backyard.

The acronym, REINS, stands for “Riding Emphasizing Individual Needs and Strengths.” REINS is a nonprofit organization which provides adaptive horseback riding. The riders are a mix of children, the elderly and those with physical issues.

At REINS, Nikki is an advanced certified therapeutic riding instructor through PATH International. She is also a barn coordinator. Nikki started work at age 12 as a volunteer, then became an instructor at 18.

“I originally came to REINS because of the horses, but the students quickly captured my heart,” she related. “Once I began to volunteer, I just fell in love with the program.”

As a volunteer, Nikki got the horses ready for therapy sessions.

She also served as a “sidewalker.” A “sidewalker” supports the rider as they mount and dismount a horse. They also walk next to the rider and horse while they are in motion.

“I wanted to make a career out of it, so when I was old enough, 18, I became certified to become an instructor,” Nikki explained.

Most of what she learned was through a hands-on process. To be certified, she needed to undergo a certain number of teaching hours from a certified instructor and then pass a hands-on test.

Besides her duties as an instructor, Nikki is also in charge of the horses. She sees that the inventory of tack is complete and that all is in place for the sessions. Training the horses, setting the exercise schedule and managing the diets and feed for the horses, are other “barn” duties. Grace Welch, also a barn coordinator, SOURCEBOOK 2022

works alongside Nikki. The two women make sure that things run smoothly.

REINS has a variety of horses and ponies, totaling 20. Most are donated; and each horse has a private stall.

As an instructor, Nikki has worked with several children who were too weak to walk, but once they got on a horse and began

to ride – their legs gained strength, which enabled them to walk.

“When the riders are on a horse that is moving, they use the same muscles that they would if they were walking. It strengthens their legs and helps them to walk,” she said.

Another significant transformation takes place in the children – they become more confident and independent. At the beginning of the program, many children need their parents to watch over them during sessions, but as they gain confidence, they are able sit on the horse themselves. Also, the children are confident enough to remove saddles, and complete chores,

without their parents’ presence.

“It is rewarding to see the change in riders when they get on a horse – they feel a confidence they didn’t have before,” Nikki said.

“They are sitting on a thousand pound animal and they are controlling it.”

For those unable to mount a horse on their own, REINS has an apparatus that will lift riders onto horses. The majority of riders that were lifted say they didn’t think they would ever be able to ride a horse again.

A small trail winds around the property, so the riders are able to enjoy the natural world, and even pick oranges along the way.

After the trail ride, they work on riding skills in the arena.

Nikki grew up with horses and started riding at the age of three.

She was given her first horse on her 10th birthday – a 28-year-old American Paint gelding named Apache.

“He taught me so much,” she said, “I rode him every day, and learned to take care of him. Rain or shine, I had to be out there feeding him and cleaning up after him. It taught me responsibility.”

Nikki has had several horses since Apache, and now owns a former racehorse – a thoroughbred mare named Bellini. The name Bellini is Italian for Little Beautiful One. “The name fits her perfectly,” Nikki noted.

Nikki and Bellini compete in Eventing, which is an equestrian

event with three phases: dressage, cross-country jumping and show jumping.

The connection between Nikki and her horses is evident. Bellini was not treated right before she came to live with Nikki, and because of this, the horse was not very trusting.

“After six months of owning her, she started to come up and put her head on me,” Nikki said. “It was amazing to see that transformation.”

Nikki also connects with the horses at REINS. She worked for several months with a horse named Cisco, and was able to build

trust in the animal. “He will do anything for me now,” she said.

Nikki plans to work at REINS the rest of her life. It is fulfilling and satisfying for her. “I love working with our horses, getting them ready to be part of our equine team, so they can help change the lives of each and every one of our students,” she said. “I love seeing each student grow stronger, build more self-confidence, and become a better rider. Watching both horse and rider improve with each ride is truly incredible to witness. It is so rewarding – I feel I am making a difference. I get up every day to do something that I enjoy.”

TALK OF THE TOWN Y O U R N E W FAV O R I T E H A N G O U T S P O T Photographs by Kassidy Fredrickson

You know that stirring feeling you get in your gut, when an opportunity presents itself? Deep down you know that it may be one of the most challenging things you’ll ever endure, but if you pull it off it could be one of the most rewarding accomplishments yet.

In 2020, mid-pandemic, that is exactly what two young entrepreneurial moms (Chelsea and Tiffany) felt as they drove by a dilapidated barn on the corner of E. Mission Rd. Although it would be a huge risk and require a lot of blood, sweat and tears, the ladies of Witty Rentals decided to face the challenge head on and start the process of restoring the property, into what today is known as The Mill.

Tiffany (Witty Rentals) says, “Early on we saw huge potential for the property with lots of foot traffic and loads of untapped character.

As Fallbrook locals ourselves, we really wanted the space to be a gathering place for the community.

What better way to get people to gather than with pizza, craft beer and a little retail shopping?”

The Mill had their soft opening last spring and currently consists of 3 businesses; Booze Brothers Brewing Co., Pizza Bros. (sourdough, woodfired pizza) and a home decor boutique, Shoppe Witty.

Tiffany continues, “This summer we are thrilled to welcome ‘Hejsan Coffee’ who specializes in quality crafted lattes, pour overs and other delicious treats.”

There is still more in store for the property as they plan to expand seating into the barn which is currently being used as storage.

“Utilizing the barn will allow us to have indoor seating options for those chilly rainy days or hot summer afternoons. Not to mention the use of the space for small private events.”

If you haven’t had the opportunity to go check out The Mill and support this new local business, you won’t be disappointed. themillfallbrook.com @themill_fallbrook 838 E. Mission Rd., Fallbrook

Private Investigator Tony Campbell Finds Lost Loves Ones

here is never a dull moment in Anthony Campbell’s life. The licensed private investigator searches every day for someone or something throughout California and Mexico. It could be to help solve a homicide, provide high risk process serving, follow a cheating spouse or find lost loved ones.

Recently, Campbell worked to locate a father’s missing daughter after 36 years. Dennis McCarthy had not seen his daughter since she was 4 years old, Campbell explained.

“I stopped at Rainbow Oaks for gas one day, and someone there told this older guy that I was a PI,” Campbell said. “He started talking to me telling me he hadn’t seen his daughter since she was 4.”

After a painful split with Shannon’s mother, McCarthy took off

and came to San Diego where he found success in the car and boat building and racing industry, Campbell said.

“I got the information and attempted to find her. It was very difficult with the information provided. It took me a week and a half before I made contact with the daughter in the state of Florida,” Campbell said.

When he called, the daughter answered and he said she was so overwhelmed she couldn’t talk, but she did say she had been looking for her Dad for 30 years. While they were talking on the phone her husband was checking out AC Investigations online and vetted him as the real deal.

The daughter, Shannon, called her Father, and made a recent trip out to reunite with him.

“One of the most beautiful things in this case is that Dennis showed me a 1957 wooden speed boat he refurbished decades ago, and named it “Shannon,” Campbell said, adding that Shannon had always been on her Father’s heart.

Campbell’s family came from a rough Long Beach neighborhood and moved to Fallbrook where he went to school.

“I grew up in Fallbrook and on the Pala and Rincon Indian Reservations. Campbell said, “I grew up in diverse neighborhoods, and it was my normal. I grew my hair long and was poor, and the Indian kids had long hair and were poor at that time. We got along well. It was a challenge being accepted, but after 40 years it works. I love it here.”

“My family was pretty rough. Some of my family was involved in the Hell’s Angels. You’d see 30 to 40 of them roaring down my neighborhood. It was quite a sight.”

Campbell believes his tough upbringing helps him in his present work and taught him “street smarts.” He’ll venture into some pretty tough neighborhoods, including whatever it takes, to get the job done.

After high school, he took jobs in Tribal Law Enforcement on Pala, Rincon and La Jolla Indian Reservations. Campbell practiced private investigations under other companies from 1997 to 2014 when he earned his private investigator license from the state of California. He’s lived between Fallbrook and the reservations for the last 48 years. “I couldn’t be happier,” he said.

Work comes his way through word of mouth, attorneys, and the marketing he does through Village and Valley News, Yelp, Google and Facebook.

He counts as his greatest success when he brings loved ones together. www.my-sourcebook.com

Not all of his cases have a happy ending. A recent case involved a missing male tribal member who had been missing more than six years from Pala Reservation.

Campbell knew going in that the missing man had a heroin and methamphetamine addiction and had signs of mental illness. Initially he met with the man’s family, tribal council and members, law enforcement, and detectives.

The case was a hard one and not many U.S. leads were coming in, Campbell said.

“Because I’m a private inDennis McCarthy, right, reunited with his daughter vestigator, I could put more Shannon, left. into the case because I’m investigating that one case, whereas the detectives and law enforcement were investigating many, like 100s of cases,” Campbell said.

When leads dried up stateside, Campbell focused on Tijuana, Mexico, and took work partners and interpreters with him to start the search across the border.

Campbell related a gritty, sordid story of running into lewd acts, engrossed druggies and alcoholics in the canal and houses of ill repute in Tijuana.

Finally in 2018, while walking the streets in Tijuana he came across a homeless shelter and showed a poster of the missing man. One man came forward. He said the man told him he knew ”El Indio.”

It was the son of a father who used to date the missing man’s sister, who recognized the man in Campbell’s flier, “I know Joe very well,” the man told Campbell.

“My witness who saw my subject stated that (Joe) looked mentally ill and was going through trash cans,” Campbell said. “He had $1 million in the bank from Casino money over the years and didn’t know it. That is how far out he was, didn’t even know he had money.”

Campbell was then able to inform the detectives stateside that the missing man, Joe, was alive in Tijuana.

Asked how he detaches from such heartbreaking tragedies, he said, ”As I speak it I’m still living it.”

Though he’s good at finding people, he’s seen things the average man hasn’t even imagined.

Another recent investigation involved a client from out of state who reached out to Campbell to find their daughter who had been enticed away at 16 years old and taken from the state of Texas. Campbell was able to track, surveil and locate the young lady in Hollywood. She was with a 45-year-old director in the pornography business.

Unfortunately, when she was approached she chose to stay, but at least the parents had some peace that she was located.

Pala Band Mission Indians Contributing To Make Life Better For Students

Pala Band of Mission Indians Chairman Robert Smith throws out the first pitch at the first softball game at Courtesy photo the Jim Banks Sports Complex.

he Pala Band of Mission Indians regularly makes contributions to nonprofits, schools and many other organizations in the Fallbrook and Bonsall area. Recently at a Bonsall Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting, Superintendent Joseph Clevenger gave a presentation on the upgrades and contributions that the Pala Band of Mission Indians have made to the Bonsall community.

The first upgrade included in the presentation was an upgrade at the Vivian Banks Charter School playground which included repairing and installing new playground padded flooring. The project cost $100,000, according to the report.

“Some members of the tribe attended an event at Vivian Banks Charter School,” BUSD board member Eric Ortega, who is also a Pala

Tribal member, said. “On the playground around the jungle gym, bars and swings, there were rubber floor mats for the safety of the kids.

What we saw was that it was very deteriorated, so the tribe paid to replace that cover so that the kids would have a safe place to play.”

The tribe also upgraded the softball and baseball fields in the Jim Banks Sports Complex in Pala to make them CIF eligible, which cost a few thousand dollars to move the bases back and build a pitcher’s mound. The field already had lights for night games.

Bonsall High School uses the Jim Banks Sports Complex for baseball and softball games since the school has no field.

Pala Band of Mission Indians contributed $100,000 to pay for new rubberized safety mats below the play equipment at Vivian Banks Charter School.

“Bonsall High School started a baseball and softball program, and to be CIF eligible, they had to make changes to the current playing fields,” Ortega said. “The tribe voluntarily did that. I had the pleasure of being at the first game and watching them score their first run.”

Ortega said the crowd went crazy when the team scored that first run.

“They were screaming and hollering,” he said. “It was great. The team had just been put together. They had like one practice. They are really raw players, and this is just the beginning.”

Pala has contributed to several other projects, including providing dozens of guest speakers on Native American culture, music and the Cupeno language to BUSD schools; a $45,000 donation for transportation, a $45,000 donation to Vivian Banks Charter School for staffing and $3,000 donation of bike racks to

all three elementary schools.

“Bonsall Unified School District prioritizes strong community partnerships,” Clevenger said. “We are proud of the ongoing relationship with the Pala Band of Mission Indians. We have a strong partnership which includes meaningful contributions to the culture of the BUSD schools and also the donation of resources.”

“For over 20 years the Tribe has worked together with the school district to help provide for the children of the community for their well-being and continuing education,” Chairman Smith said.

Ortega said the tribe does things for the community because they want to make a difference in the community and the lives of those who live in it.

“We do it because it’s the right thing to do, and we have the resources right now and we can do it,” Ortega said. “We just want to make it nicer for them.”

week dedicate half their content to include news releases from community organizations and nonprofits, and the other half are unique stories generated by paid staff.

“The more we can do to publicize our invaluable nonprofits, the more our residents will understand their value and this, in turn, can stimulate donations that will enrich the entire community,” she said.

Equally important is their sports coverage and the good things happening in town.

Also, Reeder publications consistently cover meetings of the school districts, San Diego County Board of Supervisors, Health District, San Diego County Local Agency Formation Committee, the Metropolitan Water District and the Fallbrook Community Planning Group.

And, full coverage is given to elections that impact the communities within its circulation area, providing a non-partisan forum for candidates and voters.

“We feel it is our responsibility to keep our people in the loop,” Reeder said. “Our duty is to serve as a hub of communications and education.”

Despite a decline in advertising income due to COVID-19, the Village News finds ways to use its limited resources to fill information voids where needed. It included a Spanish language edition in April 2020 that focused on COVID information and resources.

It also published a Cancer Guide Resource Directory of local services, that is still distributed to hospitals, doctor offices, imaging centers, Michelle’s Place Cancer Resource Center, and health facilities throughout Riverside County. In addition, each spring, the Village News publishes the Greater Fallbrook Area Sourcebook, a high-quality publication featuring profiles of local businesses, a local dining, nonprofit, hiking directories, health-related articles and historical insights into the area.

The Village News also provides 24-hour emergency and breaking news on its website, which proved particularly important during the 2007 Rice Fire.

“Pretty much the entire town was evacuated,” Reeder said.

“Our staff was camped out in a Keller-Williams conference room in Temecula from where we were updating our website every 5 to 10 minutes. We averaged 75,000 unique visitors a day on our website.”

The bottom line, Reeder said, is “we are here to serve our community and we pray we will be here for a long time.” become in a vehicle, you quickly great Rick Monroe friends.

recent episode of “60 Minutes” shed light on the rapidly diminishing number of local newspapers, calling them the “soul of a community” and saying they cannot become “yesterday’s news.” Fallbrook’s Village News is doing everything it can to hold off the tide, resolute in its commitment to serve the community.

“We began publishing in 1997 after the North County Times was formed and assimilated the Enterprise into it,” Publisher Julie Reeder said. “The North County Times was subsequently bought by the San Diego Union Tribune, which had limited print space afforded to our local news and events.”

Enjoy Enticing Cuisine Choices at Fallbrook and Bonsall Restaurants

by Nathalie Taylor

F

allbrook and Bonsall area restaurants offer outstanding, innovative cuisine. Some recipes are born in the minds of the local chefs, and others are traditional recipes made with a local twist.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant scene in our area was much like it was throughout the country. Restaurant owners were thrown off course and had to fight to keep their establishments alive. Unfortunately, some did not survive, but thankfully, many did. The resilient restaurant owners that survived the pandemic are to be commended. To triumph over a microscopic enemy is to win a war.

Fortunately, the delicious fare in the local establishments has remained constant. After the lockdown, many restaurants that offered indoor venues exclusively, scrambled to create outdoor seating. Many of those establishments have kept their outdoor seating.

Guests are served burgers hot off the grill at Nessy Burgers in Fallbrook.

At least two local restaurants were purchased just before the lockdown, and both have survived. Another restaurant debuted in 2020, just before Thanksgiving, and is still a thriving business.

It is to our community’s advantage that there are many restaurant owners who work regularly on the premises and are constantly on the front-line of the battle to survive. Restaurant owners said they are grateful for the support of the community and realize that they could not have survived the pandemic if not for the persistent patronage of their customers.

The establishments that weathered the pandemic are now restored to buzzing hives of activity. Diners, once again, are

allbrook’s history is steeped in agriculture, beginning with olives, followed by lemons and other citrus crops and of course, avocados. Now, according to the San Diego Farm Bureau, the North County is the largest producer of ornamental trees and shrubs in Southern California. But even the largest and most productive farms require labor to bring their goods to the market and people’s tables. Farm workers are indeed an essential

gear that keeps the economy turning.

Kendall Farms, with more than 500 acres devoted to the growing of flowers and floral greens, is the largest flower farm in Fallbrook. It employs about 120 full-time employees, 42 of whom work in the fields and another 30 who work in the Bouquet Department.

Katia McLaughlin, a native of Honduras, confidently manages the 42 all-male field Katia McLaughlin of Kendall Farms. workers who take care of Shane Gibson photos the maintenance, planting and harvesting of the 40 different varieties of drought-tolerant wax flowers, sunflowers and seven types of eucalyptus used for accenting floral bouquets.

“I earned my bachelor’s degree in agriculture from Earth University in Costa Rica and came to the United States through an exchange program,” she said. “Here in California, I worked for a nursery in Bonsall, and after it closed, I got a job here.”

McLaughlin, who spoke little English at the time, was hired by Kendall Farms 13 years ago at minimum wage, but soon she was promoted, first to manager of the Bouquet Department and then to her current position.

Owner Jason Kendall, whose father started the business in 1987, quickly saw the potential in McLaughlin.

“She is good at her job,” he said. “She is a great manager, works efficiently and has earned the respect of her crew.”

But opportunities for advancement at Kendall Farms are evident throughout its international workforce, with employees who came from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador and “even Nebraska,” Kendall said, smiling.

“Without our laborers in the fields, we would not exist,” he said. www.my-sourcebook.com

“

Farming will always have a high turnover because the work is not easy. But our pay is competitive and we value our international workforce. They are key to our success.

”

– Jason Kendall, owner Kendall Farms A worker in the fields at Kendall Farms.

“We have a lot of ‘A’ players who deserve to make a good living and enjoy their work. We have a bonus program that recognizes high-producing workers with pay incentives and promotions.”

For example, Isidro Guerrero has been with the farm for more than 20 years and is now one of its five main crew leaders.

Reynaldo Sotelo, another crew leader, has worked there for more than 15 years.

“Farming will always have a high turnover because the work is not easy,” Kendall said. “But our pay is competitive and we value our international workforce. They are key to our success.”

Echoing that sentiment and appreciation is Charley Wolk, owner of Bejoca Grove Management, which provides services for approximately 30 farms.

“Contrary to what most people outside of agriculture believe, we do not have migrant workers or illegal aliens,” he said. “All of my workers are full-time, not seasonal, and have worked with me for many years. They are citizens or permanent residents.”

“People also believe that farm workers are not paid well,” he continued. “None of my workers earn minimum wage. It’s hard work and they need to be compensated.”

Wolk has a crew of 10 landscapers, irrigators and laborers, including foreman Jesus Paz, a permanent resident, who has worked for Bejoca for more than 40 years.

“I came from Mexico when I was 15,” Paz said. “I worked for six years at another farm but when I heard Charley was looking for experienced workers, I went to see him. I have been here ever since.”

The crew also includes Paz’s brother Elias, who joined the team in 1983 as a laborer and is now an irrigation technician.

“Every day is different, but the work is good,” Paz said. “Several of our crew members have worked with us for more than 20 years.

We have the experience and we want to give our customers the very best.”

Another local farmer and investor Duane Urquhart said, “Our food supply is an asset we cannot do without, and without our farm workers there would be no food supply.”

Urquhart, a long-time Fallbrook resident, owns three avocado farms with about 40 acres that produce 300,000 to 400,000 pounds of fruit per year. He is no stranger to farming. His father, Russell Urquhart, was part of a partnership that owned and operated the 80-acre Peppertree Ranch in the 1965-1980 timeframe. Today, that land is now the Peppertree Park housing development.

“Farming is not easy work,” he said. “I know because in high school, I worked for the Del Rey Avocado Company planting, digging irrigation ditches and weeding. Today, I have two fulltime workers who have been with me for at least three years. We work together. They are committed to working hard and they are invaluable to me.”

The commitment to sustaining quality crops and service

is sounded repeatedly throughout the local farm workforce, which includes workers on a growing number of vineyards and wineries. One of the newest is the recently opened Monserate Winery, located on Gird Road at the former site of the 116-acre Fallbrook Golf Course.

The land was purchased by Jade and Julie Work in 2016. Jade Work, who owns a golf course development company, had no vineyard experience. Neither did his field crew, but they summoned a cadre of landscape, vineyard and farming experts to teach them the intricacies of turning the abandoned golf course into a winery. Their “can-do” attitude is contagious.

“We have a six-member, full-time field crew, some of whom worked for my father’s company, Integrity Golf,” Work’s son Josh said. “We all learned everything from soil preparation to planting, weeding, pruning, irrigating and harvesting. We began planting in 2016 and our first harvest occurred in 2019.”

The field crew is led by assistant supervisor Jose Trejo and field lead Noe Escobar, who both began as laborers. The small crew, occasionally supplemented by members of the growing vineyard’s construction team, strategically works the fields, which mostly

www.my-sourcebook.com

yields grapes for 15 varietals, 12 of which are Italian.

“Our big harvest will take place in September,” Trejo said. “Last year we picked more than 170 tons of grapes. Harvesting depends on the sugar content so we can pick as many as 12 different times.”

Assistant winemaker Christian Roman is one of the few Monserate employees with previous winery experience.

“I made wine at the Orfila Winery in Escondido for several years,” he said. “I started part-time in May of 2019, and that’s when we started making wine here at Monserate.”

Roman and the field crew work well together, and he can often be found working alongside them, sampling the grapes for sugar content. When the taste is right, he gives the OK to start picking.

“We have a really good team here and everyone works hard,” he said. “Everyone wants to make the best wine possible.”

Farm workers are not just an invaluable asset to big farms and agricultural-based businesses. In fact, according to the County of San Diego Department of Weights and Measures, San Diego County has more than 5,000 farms, more than any other county in the United States. Of those farms, 69% are between 1 and 9 acres.

Several of those smaller farms and vineyards are located in the

heart of Fallbrook, where farm workers also play a pivotal role.

The smaller size of these harvests and acreage do not diminish their contributions.

Mike and Joanna Lister, who own a six-acre grove off of Gird Road overlooking Monserate Winery, currently have 250 avocado trees, although at one time their orchard consisted of more than 500 trees.

“The heat and droughts of 2019 and 2020 destroyed many of our trees and decimated the crop, but we are looking at replanting with new avocado varieties that are more drought tolerant,” he said. “In an average year, we harvest more than 30,000 pounds.”

The Listers hire field crews through the McDaniel Fruit Company, to whom they have sold their avocados for over 30 years.

“McDaniel has several independent contractors,” Lister said. “I call McDaniel, and they put me in contact with a contractor with an available crew. I work out the details with the contractor and I hire them directly, then a foreman and his crew show up and pick all the fruit, sometimes in as little as two days. They are really good workers and I wouldn’t be able to harvest without them.”

Also deeply appreciative of local farm workers is Pat Saunders, who has 31 avocado trees on two acres off Live Oak Park Road.

“My late husband and I decided in 1988 that we could pick all the fruit ourselves,” she recalled. “What a learning experience! It took us forever and we were exhausted.”

Since then, she has worked closely with Fallbrook landscaper Manuel Morales, who provides Saunders with two to three Toni Javamillo carries cut flowers grown in the Kendall Farms fields. pickers in March or April, whenShane Gibson photo ever the avocados are ready.

“They work so fast,” she said. “They finish in one or two days and get the fruit ready for the packing house. I really would be at a loss without them.”

The need for farm workers will no doubt grow as San Diego County’s agricultural values topped $1.8 billion for the first time since 2014, as reported by the Times of San Diego Aug. 12, 2021.

The following is an excerpt from that article: “During the pandemic, we have seen how essential farming is in San Diego County,” said Supervisor Jim Desmond, who represents the county’s fifth supervisorial district, home to much of the county’s agricultural land.

“Despite a difficult past 16 months for everyone, it’s great to see farming thriving,” Desmond continued. “It is an honor to be the supervisor of District Five, which has a diverse variety of agricultural crops ranging from flowers to strawberries and avocados.”

Yes, farm workers play a priceless role in the local economy and yes, their experiences have come a long way, thanks to the relentless efforts of heroes like Cesar Chavez, founder of the National Farm Workers Association (later renamed United Farm Workers of America). But another American activist, Booker T. Washington said it well: “No race can prosper until it learns there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.”

In this article we salute and thank our local farm workers and acknowledge the artistry they express each day in our fields. www.my-sourcebook.com

Youngren Construction Celebrates a Storied 30 Years

Y

oungren Construction established its full-service residential and commercial design and construction business in Fallbrook in 1992. Thirty years and hundreds of exciting projects and happy clients later, it is thriving here.

Owners Scott and Jen Youngren say that although much has changed, their guiding vision remains constant.

“We have grown in experience, diversification, staff and customers, who have become like friends. Our core values are steadfast. We do business the Fallbrook way. We believe it is the foundation of our success.”

Youngren expertly handles the multifaceted aspects of an array of projects, from a modest powder room remodel to a multimillion dollar custom estate. Scott emphasizes, “For each, we communicate clearly and completely; walking people through the process; alerting them to unforeseen challenges; and providing cost-effective solutions. Bottom line: We treat customers the way we want to be treated.”

Each project is as unique as the client. Here are two Fallbrook family stories.

A “Grandpa” Flat

Retired Marine Dave Fricker has a soft spot in his heart for dogs.

The charming grandpa flat features a spacious kitchen and living area.

“Youngren Construction’s attention to detail, proactive approach and super-accommodating team of staff and contractors resulted in a perfect sanctuary for Dave,” say Bill and Susan Lenaway, speaking of Susan’s widowed father, Dave Fricker, a retired career Marine in his early 80s. The 1,100-square-foot ADU boasting an open floor plan, spacious kitchen for this avid cook, two-car garage, lighted flagpole to fly both the American and Marine Corps flags, and white picket fence to ensconce Dave’s two dogs, was constructed on the 2.3-acre property where the Lenaways purchased their home in 2016 with the intent of building a “grandpa” flat.

Bill, a Fallbrook High teacher and coach, and Susan, an executive with a major national mortgage company,

say, ”We were impressed by Youngren’s reputation for excellent quality work and their involvement with Homes For Our Troops building specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans. They incorporated adaptive features in Dave’s ADU and did a great job matching our two homes, down to the paint, stone veneer, tile and trim. They even had a front door made for Dave’s place that looks exactly like ours.”

The entire process was smooth and efficient, say the Lenaways. “We were kept apprised every step along the way. We never felt like we had to operate in panic mode.”

They conclude, “Dave loves having a comfortable home that is close to us but very private.”

Showered with Attention

The swift and smooth remodel resulted in a welcoming bathroom and efficient use of space.

When they decided to remodel their master bathroom to prepare for future needs, Suzie and Frank Brock say, “We were impressed by Youngren Construction’s work with disabled vets. We became equally impressed by their attention to every detail, and to us.”

They say the project was accomplished swiftly and smoothly, thanks to extensive pre-planning, innovative computer-generated design, timely ordering of materials, “top-notch staff and sub-contractors,” and continuous oversight.

Intending to remain in their charming, European-style home of 14 years, the Brocks revamped the bathroom and adjoining walk-in closet without changing the footprint.

The tub was removed and a large, easy-access shower with room for a chair was installed, along with accommodations for handrails, and attractive amenities to create a welcoming bathroom and efficient use of space.

The Brocks say, “Our confidence in the Youngren team was well-placed. We were able to stay and work comfortably in our home the entire eight weeks, without one glitch!”

Youngren Builds Solutions to Accommodate Evolving Needs Many residents who, like Scott and Jen, have chosen to raise their families in our idyllic community, plan to continue living here as they grow older. Numerous homeowners have partnered with Youngren’s capable team to create Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), commonly known as granny flats, and aging-in-place renovations that enable them to stay close to family and familiar surroundings.

Scott and Jen Youngren say they are so happy they grew up in Fallbrook, are raising their family in Fallbrook, and have based their 30-year business in Fallbrook. Their deep familiarity with construction and the community they love – along with their new facility and valued longtime staff – make Youngren Construction well-positioned to continue providing the highest quality residential and commercial construction for years to come.

The Gif Giftt of the Cacti The stunning vertical cactus garden at world-famous botanical garden Lotusland came from Merritt Sigsbee Dunlap’s magnificent collection in Fallbrook.

N

early a century ago, Fallbrook’s Merritt Sigsbee Dunlap had an unexpected appointment with destiny. Cactus destiny, that is.

But it wasn’t, as you might think, a hostile encounter.

The Illinois-born Dunlap, then a 23-year-old engineering student at the University of Southern California had spontaneously purchased a potted and resplendently sunlit Golden Torch cactus

in Coachella in 1929.

And that moment for Dunlap, who went by the affable nickname of “Sigs”, was the beginning of a lifelong, mostly singular fascination with the prickly plant warriors which were still decades away from the chic landscaping cachet they hold today.

It was a passion that would propel the Fallbrook resident to amass one of the United States’ largest collections of cacti, a West-

Old

ern Hemisphere forest of statuesque and mature specimens with spiny attitudes and stoic longevity.

In the span of 70 years, beginning in the yard at his and his music teacher wife Dorothy’s Los Angeles home in 1930 to the steeply terraced slopes of their Fallbrook property from 1977 to 1999, Dunlap, a civil engineer and building contractor by trade, collected and cultivated more than 1,200 cactus plants of 880 species.

Their hillside terrain in Fallbrook was densely profuse with cacti from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico, an experience made more heady, visitors would recall, by the drifting down sounds of a piano when Dorothy was giving private music lessons in their house above the forest.

Throughout his years of cultivating cacti, Dunlap was always on the lookout for new and different specimens, saying in a 1993 interview that he wasn’t “as interested in numbers any more as much as in the pursuit of varieties he doesn’t have.”

He acquired his cactus stock and seeds from reputable nurseries like early promoter Johnson Cactus Gardens in Paramount, California, researchers and indefatigable explorers such as South American cactus hunter Friedrich Ritter.

Other sources for Dunlap’s massive collection were the Darwin Research Station in Ecuador, and more locally the Los Angeles County Arboretum, Huntington Gardens, La Canada Descanso Gardens, and the Fullerton Arboretum (from which Dunlap received seeds for exceedingly rare and prized Galapagos Islands cacti.)

In fact, some 40% of Dunlap’s stock was grown by him from seed, no small feat in propagating the family members of Cactaceae.

While living in Los Angeles in the 1940s, a turn of fate every bit as twisty as a cactus branch led Dunlap to meet the person to whose estate he would eventually donate his collection nearly 60

There are more than 300 species of cacti displayed at Lotusland. Ganna Walska Lotusland photos

years later: Madame Ganna Walska, owner and eccentric force behind a botanical garden of visual delights she called Lotusland, located in Montecito in Santa Barbara County.

In 1941 Dunlap had been doing engineering work for the California aqueduct system as well as having a private civil engineering practice. However, with the advent of World War II, he became stationed in Santa Barbara as an army engineer where he oversaw the construction of a hospital.

During the period of the building’s construction, Dunlap continued with his hobby of growing cacti from seed, and he also found time to serve as the first president of the Theodore Payne Foundation which was and still is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of California native plants.

There he crossed paths for the first time with Madame Walska, then newly established at her 37-acre estate in nearby Montecito.

Walska was also passionately interested in horticulture.

The two of them, Dunlap and Walska, couldn’t have had more different backgrounds.

She had been born as Hanna Puacz in Poland in 1887, and in young adulthood had embarked on a career as an opera singer whereupon she changed her name to Ganna Walska (because she loved to waltz.) It was not, however, her lackluster voice that proved to be the reason of her celebrity, but rather her extraordinary beauty that drove wealthy men to be attracted to her.

Walska married six times; first a Russian count who she divorced 1915 because of his drinking and carousing, then briefly

to a New York throat doctor, followed by an even briefer marriage to an industrialist touted by the press as the “richest bachelor in New York.”

Walska’s fourth marriage was to Harold McCormick, heir to the International Harvester fortune and a generous supporter of the Chicago Opera Company. That marriage lasted until 1931, and, as had been the pattern with her divorce settlements, left her with additional wealth.

A subsequent short, but unhappy marriage in 1938 to an English inventor who claimed to have invented a “death ray” in the 1920s ended when he died from a heart attack in 1941.

Shortly thereafter, Walska met and married her sixth and last husband, a yoga instructor 20 years her junior who convinced her to purchase the California estate that she eventually transforrmed into Lotusland.

The marriage, despite her search for enlightenment and yoga lessons, did not last, but Walska’s devotion to her garden and horticulture became the all-encompassing purpose of the remaining 43 years of her life. Often describing herself as “the greatest enemy of the average”, Walska imbued Lotusland with an artistic and innovative landscape design, using plants instead of paints for stage settings.

Because of their mutual interest in “garden hobbies” and plant collecting, the civil engineer Dunlap and the diva Walska embarked on a great and long-lasting friendship, and in 1966 Dunlap made his first offer to bequeath his cactus collection to Lotusland

“

In 35 years of moving thousands of trees and plants, the Dunlap cactus collection was the most technically and logistically challenging of all.

But it would be another three decades, however, before any of Dunlap’s cacti would be donated and installed at the Montecito estate.

Post-WWII, Dunlap’s time with the Army Reserves ended, Merritt Sigsbee Dunlap. and he and Dorothy, along with the still-expanding cactus collection, moved to Glendale where he added municipal engineering to his career.

By 1977, the Dunlaps decided that rural Fallbrook would be an ideal location for him to tend to his cacti-related hobbies, and they moved the collection once again to a home on a hilly site with acreage enough for planting.

For the next twenty years Dunlap, who also had a building contractor services business in the community, maintained detailed inventories and continued as always to add to his maturing cactus garden. In addition, he grew forty semitropical flowering shrubs in addition to orchid cactus, “living stones” cactus and exotic swollen-trunked trees from Madagascar.

He also retained his interest in plant life in general, and soon joined the Fallbrook Garden Club, a longtime group which had first formed in 1931. Dunlap served as the club’s president in 19811982, and was selected as its first “Member of the Year” in 1985.

While tending his cactus forest over the years, Dunlap had become a birdwatcher. He noted that roadrunners and quail sought refuge in the bases of the cacti from coyotes and snakes, and that house finches and other small song birds nested in cactus’ upper branches. So it was only natural for him to become the garden club’s bird specialist, and he served as the longtime editor of the club’s newsletter “The Garden Chirp”.

Although Madame Walska had died in 1984, Dunlap had continued to remain in contact with the Lotusland staff. In the late 1990s when arthritis prevented him from walking up and down the steep slope of his garden, the staff, recognizing the importance of Dunlap’s magnificent collection, assisted him with pruning, weeding and maintaining labels for the cactus garden which then contained 500 cacti of 400 different species.

But in 1999, Ruth died, and the 93-year-old Dunlap decided that it was finally time to move his entire cacti collection to Lotusland as he had long ago promised to his old friend.

It would be a massive and logistically challenging undertaking to safely move the voluminous collection to a 3/4-acre site set along the eastern edge of the 37-acre botanical garden estate.

In 2000 the contents of Dunlap’s greenhouse were moved to Montecito. The next year Lotusland staff began transporting the smallest to largest plants in the collection for several months.

Those plants were temporarily established under a shade structure at Lotusland while the Dunlap collection awaited the design of the new garden.

Relocating a fully mature columnar cactus covered with sharp spines while keeping every part of the plant intact is no easy task, let alone knowing that the cactus is very rare and difficult to replace. www.my-sourcebook.com

Mark Holland, owner of Big Trees of California which he operates today with his son, was contracted to move the remaining thirty-one largest cacti. Holland had previously moved big cactus trees for the San Diego Wild Animal Park, but the Dunlap project was by far a more difficult endeavor.

“In 35 years of moving thousands of trees and plants, the Dunlap cactus collection was the most technically and logistically challenging of all,” said Holland.

“The size, the steep terrain, the fragile plants, and the fact that this man, Mr. Dunlap, spent the better part of his life amassing this wonderful collection of priceless cacti from around the world added to the complexity,” he said.

Calculating how to load a group of upright cacti, each with arms wrapped in foam pads and bodies safely crated during excavation to prevent the root balls from getting completely pulverized during transportation, onto the two flatbed trucks was a complicated puzzle.

But the long journey to Lotusland fortunately went without mishap. Those prized cacti were also off-loaded at the temporary nursery in wait of the completion of the garden design.

The Cactus Garden design was itself daunting. Not only did it need to accommodate geographically-coherent groups and cluster plants from similar climate zones, it had to honor Dunlap’s contribution, be horticulturally sustainable and still be in line with Ma-

dame Walska’s own creative, eccentric vision for Lotusland.

A restored 1920s historic fountain, flagstone terraces, 300 tons of large basalt boulders from a Riverside, California quarry, decomposed granite paths and soil mulched with 100 tons of shiny black slate chips from a slate mine near Placerville, California all dramatically complemented the hundreds of Dunlap’s vertical columnar cacti.

Lotusland’s new Cactus Garden opened in 2003, and Sigs Dunlap lived long enough to see his legacy completed.

In August of 2003, he celebrated his 97th birthday in the new cactus garden, quite proud of how it turned out, marveling at how his sweeping collection was displayed, and likely envisioning the cacti forest it would become today.

Just three months later, Dunlap passed away on Nov. 5. He and Dorothy are buried at Fallbrook’s Masonic Cemetery, just a short walk from the hilly site where his wondrous cacti collection flourished.

At his memorial service, the request for donations was, of course, that they to go to the Ganna Walska Lotusland Foundation.

With more than 3,000 plants including cycads, euphorbias and the cacti from the Dunlap collection, Lotusland is among the top botanical garden destinations in the world. It is open to the public from February through November, and reservations are required. To learn more: www.lotusland.org/gardens/the-gardens/cactus-garden/

xcept for an occasional creak of metal in protest to the breeze, the antique farming equipment outside the Fallbrook Historical Society’s museum has long been silent.

Now the stuff of photographers’ dreams, the once-rotating noisy gears have cheerfully rusted into place and the looping drive chains have scattered into orphaned links. The great wheels, cracked and stoically bent under the weight of age and weather, rumble no more, and the resting plows leave the earth beneath them unscathed.

However, despite the relentless forces of Mother Nature and Father Time, the various pieces of farm equipment on the museum’s property are still an undeniably compelling tribute to American ingenuity and engineering.

But it is the reasons for their inventions a century or more ago that mostly remain mysterious, especially in today’s food-convenient 21st century. And that makes the outdoor display, much of it gifted to the museum 50 years ago by the grandson of a Fallbrook pioneer, very intriguing and historically fertile.

After all, the Industrial Revolution-era equipment inventions were literally the movers and shakers which lifted labor intensive farming practices dating back to Biblical times into the mechanized present.

And that change, beginning roughly in the mid-1830s, was felt throughout the United States, eventually reaching remote, sparsely populated agricultural settlements like Fallbrook.

“Most of the antique horse-drawn farming equipment on display on the grounds here came from David White and the FoxWhite property in the 1970s,” said Tom Frew, the Fallbrook Museum’s historian.

“Some are from the 1880s when Frederick Fox was farming at his land in Live Oak Canyon, and others were used when Fox’s daughter Frances and her husband H.E. White farmed the property after that,” he said, adding that the Fox home, built in 1894, is believed to be the oldest residential building remaining in Fallbrook today.

Including the Fox-White donation, the museum’s collection showcases a 150-year-old farm wagon, a walking steel plow (the 1837 invention of which by a blacksmith named John Deere—yes, that John Deere of the tractor and farm equipment manufacturing company still in business today) which revolutionized soil turning, in addition to various other plows and seed “drillers” planting machinery.

In their day, the equipment was absolutely state-of-the-art. In fact, many aspects of the design functions are still incorporated into farming machines today.

Added to the display’s antique machinery mix are harrows (spike tooth, spring tooth and disc) which were used to break up and level heavy soil as well as for removal of dead grass and for fertilizing. www.my-sourcebook.com

Also attention-worthy are the museum’s two earth-scraping implements, particularly the innovative “Fresno Scraper” which was the granddaddy of modern earth-movers.

“The Fresno Scraper was the ‘bulldozer’ of its time,” said Frew. “It provided a revolutionary way to move large amounts of dirt around that had never been done before.”

The scraper model in the display was invented in 1882 by James Porteus, a blacksmith in Fresno, California. The first of the scraper prototypes by Porteus, it was then called the Buck Scraper, but is now included with the inventor’s subsequent models of Fresno Scrapers

The wheel of a 150-year-old farm wagon at the Fallbrook Historical Society’s display.

in 1883 and 1885.

The Fresno unequivocally transformed the hard labor of land leveling, ditch digging and road and railroad building.

It played a role in the construction of the Panama Canal which was completed in 1914, and made possible the early-day irrigation canals, ditches, and level fields, as well as the construction of dams, roads and railroad right-of-ways.

Between 1884 and the advent of tractor-drawn scrapers in the 1910s, thousands of horsedrawn ”Fresnos” were used and sold throughout the United States and other countries. It dominated the field for 50 years.

Although it looks like it could be a raffle ticket drum, the Wizard was a walnut huller used at Fallbrook walnut groves.

The large Fresno Scraper above was custom built by Fallbrook welder Frank McCracken in the 1930s.

Shane Gibson photos

The second Fresno Scraper is a larger version and was custom built, according to the historical society’s records, by Fallbrook welder Frank McCracken for a nursery ranch in the 1930s.

The museum’s collection also features a single-horse sulky cart which came from the pioneering Gird family and was used to train horses on the family’s Live Oak Canyon acreage. The sulky was also often used, according to Frew, by the Gird ladies in the 1880s to keep the hems of their long skirts from getting soiled when traveling to and from town on the dirt roads.

One of the more eye-catching contraptions on the grounds is a “Wizard” walnut huller which has a hopper and a large tumbler that looks somewhat like a raffle ticket drum roller. At one time, Fallbrook had several walnut orchards so when William E. Formway, a garage mechanic and son of an orchardist in San Jose, California, invented the walnut huller in 1939, the equipment was

used in this region.

Adding to the visual poignancy of the museum’s display are the old-time rolling fire extinguisher (hoses and all), and a stand alone box-making machine from the Fallbrook Citrus Association Packing House which began operations in 1916. The two machines were rescued when the building which had housed the packing house burnt down in 1990.

“The box-making machine created wooden crates for shipping lemons,” said Frew. “What adds a more human connection to the machine is that we know that one man, Ray Peters, operated this machine for fifty years from 1925 to 1975.”

Most of the equipment, however, harkens back to a time prior to the end of World War I in 1918 when horsepower literally meant horse power: equines, not engines, were used to pull or power the larger farming implements.

And to power the horses, hay was the king of fuel.

As farming across the country expanded, the need to more effectively mow, gather, bundle, store and bale hay also grew, but the inventive process came in stages, building upon the use of each previous tool or machine.

The story of making hay the old-fashioned way is explained via three equipment pieces in the museum’s collection, beginning with the International Harvester mower.

First step, cutting the hay: the International Harvester Hay Mower For thousands of years, farmers had been manually cutting hay with sickles or scythes. But it was back-breaking work and usually required a large number of laborers and hired hands to do the harvest.

In the early 1800s, inventors in England and America had been tinkering with the idea of horse-drawn reaping and mowing machines, but the equipment was generally crude and attempts to imitate the manual cutting style of harvesting were unsuccessful.

However, because cutting hay by horse power allowed farmers to harvest seven to 10 times more than they could by hand, demand continued for the invention of mowers upon which a seated operator could drive his team while adjusting the mower’s cutter bar to various heights above the ground.

From the 1830s to the turn of the 20th century, numerous inventors in the United States subsequently developed their own mowers that used various means to cut hay via horizontal sickle bars and sharp “teeth” or blades. A few of the inventors were successful and started their own companies. www.my-sourcebook.com

In 1902, the agricultural giant McCormick Harvesting Machine Co. (begun by mechanical reaper inventor Cyrus Hall McCormick, 1809-1884) merged with William Deering of Deering Harvester Co., and other harvesting equipment manufacturers to form the mighty International Harvester Co. By 1911, International Harvester began producing the McCormick-Deering line of horse-drawn mowers like the one, with its fierce-looking, sharp-toothed sickle bar in an upright safety position, that rests on the museum’s property today.

Step two, gathering all that cut hay: the Dump Rake or the Spring Tooth Hay Rake Once the hay had been mowed, the next step was to gather it up on the ground, another labor-intensive harvesting task. The cut hay was then lifted or manually raked into “windrows”, or long lines of raked hay laid out to dry in the wind before being rolled or baled.

This led to inventions of several kinds of horse-drawn rakes, including the one at the museum which is recognizable by its unique feature of long curving comb-like tines.

As with the mowers, the seated operator of a hay rake could drive his team and use a lever with his feet, to raise or lower the “rake” of narrow curved tines or “teeth” to gather, then drop the cut hay into windrows.

The first dump rakes, later also called spring tooth hay rakes, were used in the late 1860s, and for the next few decades inventors generally continued to follow similar designs, but coming up with slight differences in curvature of the teeth, positions of the rake (front or back) and lever controls.

After 1900, side-delivery rake designs gained in popularity over the traditional hay rakes, but tractor technology in the 1940s eventually made those hay rakes unfeasible.

Seed drills such as this one (looking here a bit like dinosaur bones) revolutionized how farmers planted and covered seeds before birds could eat them.

Step three, bundling it up: the Stationary Hay Press/Hay Baler What happened after the hay was cut, gathered in rows to dry, and then loaded onto farm wagons? One important answer found with the stationary hay press/hay baler in the museum’s exhibit.

In the early 1800s farmers typically stored big piles of loose hay in the upper portions (haymows) of their barns or kept the hay outside in haystacks. But storing hay in a barn required a lot of space, and outdoor haystacks were prone to destruction by wind or rain.

Early efforts to develop hay compression machines began around that time, but no practical invention arose until the 1850s when the need to transport hay increased with the commerce of shipping goods along rivers and with settlers moving west. Pressing hay into bales made it much easier to transport.

The first hay compression equipment was developed in 1853, but it was a cumbersome machine that produced only five 250-pound bales per hour. In 1881, improvements had been made in the hay presses, but they still required men to operate the press and others to attend to the horses which created power for the baling machine by walking in a circle, pulling a sweep-arm drive.

The stationary hay press on display at the A part of a box-making machine from the iconic Fallbrook museum was, it is said, Citrus Association Packing House which began operating towed to the middle of in 1916.

Shane Gibson photo a Fallbrook hay field where its four wheels were buried so that the press’ body sat directly into the ground. The harvested hay was brought in via the wagon, and one worker would feed it into the press’ hopper which pushed out the hay as it was funneled and compressed into a rectangular shape inside a wooden crate-like frame.

During that process a second worker would set the blocks, poke and tie the wires that held the bale before it came out of the frame and was taken by another worker to be stacked for transport.

All the while a farm boy would ride the team of horses as they went around and around the entire day long to power the hay press.

It’s certainly likely that, perhaps a century ago, as he dozed off in sheer boredom atop the horses, the boy did not think about the amazing American ingenuity behind earth scrapers and seed drillers and hay mowers and tooth-rakes and lastly the hay balers.

Like most of us, he probably just wanted the day to be done.

Company Sprays Homes to Wildfire Destruction

PREVENT

by Rick Monroe

R

andy Vance has evidence of the effectiveness of services provided by Atlas Wildfire Defense Co. The Fallbrook company, a partnership of Vance and his best friend, Kier Ceballos, said that Kier Ceballos, left, and Randy Vance, right. the six homes and two businesses they sprayed in the Lake Tahoe area all survived the disastrous wildfire that was officially contained Oct. 21, 2021.

“We’re pleased that none of the eight structures were damaged, when all around them buildings burned,” Vance said. “We were a perfect eight-for-eight with our protection.

The California wildfire that threatened the Lake Tahoe resort region over the summer scorched more than 346 square miles of the Sierra Nevada, destroying more than 700 homes since it was reported Aug. 14.

Atlas Wildfire Defense supports multiple products, but the one Vance was most excited about is a spray called Mighty Fire Breaker. It requires re-spraying every six months.

“This product is in the process of procuring a warranty that will cover your home if it burns,” Vance said.

At a time when insurance companies are beginning to require an endorsement for wildfire coverage – just like with earthquake or flood insurance – Vance said spraying your property every six months may be a more cost-efficient method for coverage.

“This new technology is amazing,” he said. “It really works.”

58

Vance has first-hand knowledge of the product’s effectiveness through his training and relationship with the North County owner of Mighty Fire Breaker.

“Four months ago, we sprayed the California Wolf Center, a sanctuary in Julian,” he said. “We came back with a blow torch to try to burn the dry brush around the fences and buildings, and the brush wouldn’t ignite.”

Vance said other spray products use phosphate or ammonia, but Mighty Fire Breaker is plant-based. It’s also EPA certified, he added.

While his primary client base is residential in North County, he has clients throughout the state, including wineries in the Napa area. He also has sprayed a local 12-acre citrus grove and other businesses.

In addition to spraying homes and businesses, he offers free assessments for other prevention products like vent and gutter covers to prevent fires from embers, sprinkler systems, and more.

Even homes built to be fireproof could have problems with fences or porches burning that could create smoke damage, he said.

Vance noted that before fire season he still has time to schedule preventive measures.

hen the world seems chaotic and upside down, connecting with art can be comforting.

And that quiet emotional currency between art maker and art lover is what Fallbrook’s art organizations believe will continue to endure despite economic uncertainty and wallet-tightening times.

The keys to sustaining interest in the arts, according to officials with the Fallbrook Art Center and the Fallbrook Art Association, both longtime organizations here, are visibility, accessibility and affordability.

“We hold seven shows a year so that keeps people informed about the art center and the works of our featured artists,” Mary Perhacs said. Perhacs is the executive director for the Fallbrook Art Center which, in association with the Fallbrook School of the Arts, has been in operation for 25 years.

“It also important to recognize that when we were founded as a non-profit organization, our mission was to anchor and revitalize the downtown Fallbrook area through the arts,” Perhacs said.

“So over the years Fallbrook has earned great name-recognition as a very unique and charming, low-key place – not too glitzy or slick – to see and buy art, and we don’t expect that to go away.”

The Fallbrook Art Center, located at 103 S. Main Avenue, has three galleries to showcase and rotate exhibits featuring various visual fine arts, mixed media and other handcrafted artistic items throughout the year.

“What also draws visitors and art buyers and artists to the art center is that we do have more exhibit events than many galleries, and that we are an established place for artists whose works are recognized regionally and nationally as well as locally,” Perhacs said.

“We’ve worked hard to be known amongst the art community for that.

And you can’t fool artists – they know whether or not their work is going to be exhibited in the best way.”

On a positive note, “The Find” store inside the Fallbrook Art Center sells a variety Perhacs said, the of art inspired items created by artisans. www.my-sourcebook.com

The Gallery co-director Ruth Parker displays one of her paintings.

sales numbers for the center to date in 2022 are well above those from last year.

“We sold 14 paintings this year, including one priced at $11,000,” she said, adding that art priced from $5 to $500 has been selling well.

The Fallbrook Art Center will continue its practice of showcasing affordably-priced artisan works, particularly in their summer artist guild show and winter holiday show, Perhacs said.

As well, its year round gift shop “The Find” includes budgetfriendly handmade original jewelry, artwork made of glass, wood, gourd and fiber, and the always popular art greeting cards.

Along with smaller works art, handmade unique jewelry and art greeting cards are affordable crowd pleasers too at the Fallbrook Art Association & Gallery, according gallery director Julie Compton.

“A number of the paintings and other fine art pieces at our gallery have sold, but lately the best sellers have been original jewelry pieces like earrings and necklaces,” Compton said, adding that a handcrafted necklace recently exhibited at the gallery went to one happy jewelry wearer for $300.

“Instead of paying for a plain gold necklace for that amount, the customer wanted to own an original, one-of-a-kind necklace,” Compton said. “That’s the appeal of artisan jewelry. It’s absolutely unique, and, as art, earrings and other pieces are in the affordable range for people who need to watch their budget, but still love to buy art.”

Other popular items exhibited at the Fallbrook Art Association’s gallery are art greeting cards produced by association member artists, and shrink-wrapped, ready to frame prints of the association artists’ works, she added.

Also available are what Compton called “artists’ bio books” which tell the particular stories behind individual paintings on exhibit.

That’s something that “people find very interesting,” she said.

The gallery, which moved to its new location of 300 N. Brandon Rd., Suite 6, in January of this year, features the works of local Fallbrook artists and artists from nearby communities including Oceanside, Carlsbad, Escondido, Temecula as well as a few from San Diego.

According to Compton, the Fallbrook Art Association stays visible to the art-loving public by having monthly art shows and “Family Art Days” as well as participating in farmers’ markets.

The venerable art organization was first organized as a club in 1962, and during the past 50 years has seen its share of national economic booms and busts.

The local art community, however, is still going strong, and will continue to do so even in money-tight situations because of the very nature of artists themselves, Compton, who herself is an artist who creates landscapes with soft pastels, said.

“Artists are resilient. Whether creating large paintings or smaller handcrafted jewelry artists are always going to continue making the art they love, even in tough times,” she said.

“And artists can be very creative about getting their work displayed, whether that is in galleries or on the walls of restaurants and coffee shops. Or anywhere people gather and can make a connection with the artist’s work.”

raised in Fallbrook, and now resides in Coronado.

Since her childhood, she has been determined and persistent.

The eldest of three siblings, she was a leader from the very beginning.

“Filmmaking is the first thing I ever wanted to do in life. I was around six when I knew I wanted to make movies,” she shared.

As a child, she would produce plays for the family. Scouting out locations, Shannon decided that the family living room would be perfect for the first play that was filmed on her parents’ camcorder, an abbreviated version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. When Shannon was older, about 11 or 12, she moved the film set to the family travel trailer where she and her two siblings, Brittany and Justin, would take turns acting and filming short versions of Gilligan’s Island, I Love Lucy, and Get Smart. In Get Smart, she wore a sleek black wig and played a very convincing Agent 99. What is even more impressive is that she prepared a script, selected costumes, and decorated the set. Her parents were not allowed to help because she wanted the film to be a surprise.

“I just gravitated to being a storyteller, it was something I always loved,” she said. “I enjoyed pulling it together – it brought me a lot of joy.”

Shannon is grateful to Patty Hornsveld of Fallbrook’s CAST Productions. “Growing up in Fallbrook, and being involved in the Mission Theater, fueled my love for entertaining and storytelling,” Shannon noted. She and her siblings appeared in three Scrooge CAST productions, along with their grandma, Barbara Taylor.

In her adult life, Shannon began her segue into acting by appearing in commercials, including car dealerships, restaurants, casinos, and one commercial that was filmed with a famous sports figure. A fairly recent commercial was aired during television coverage of the 2021 Summer Olympics.

One of her first live appearances was as an award presenter at the San Diego Film Consortium’s 5th Annual San Diego Film Awards in 2018. In 2019, she was winner of the Emerging Actress www.my-sourcebook.com

award at San Diego Film Week. She also has a shared award – Best Ensemble – for a Film Consortium short film, A Perfect Life.

Shannon appeared in several Valley View Casino commercials, first as an extra, then in lead roles.

“I really enjoyed working with them,” she said. “I get lot of texts about those commercials. People will be watching a football game and I will get a text from them saying they saw me in a commercial.”

One day when Shannon wasn’t feeling well, and not at all prepared for visitors, a handyman came to her home to do some work. Even in her disheveled, no makeup state, the handyman recognized her. “I recognize you from the TV,” he said, “You’re

the Valley View girl!”

Her film work includes acting, directing and producing.

However, producing has now taken the number one slot. At first, Shannon took unpaid jobs to gain experience, but about three years ago, she made the decision to accept only paid positions.

“I needed to put value on myself,” she said. “I worked at unpaid jobs for a while because I needed the experience. If you don’t have experience, no one will hire you.”

Ever on the watch for new opportunities, she is grateful for the work that she undertakes. A vibrant person, Shannon adds splash to her films and commercials. She is passionate about her work, whether it is a short-term commercial, or a long-term feature film project.

Taking raw material and transforming it into successful films, Shannon approaches each project with enthusiasm. She instinctively knows how to bring stories to life. Shannon’s Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication, is also a valuable asset.

The production world opened to Shannon when she was asked to work on a friend’s film project. In addition to being one of the lead actors, she was asked to produce the film. Until that project, Shannon hadn’t thought about producing, however, it made sense because of her experience in event planning. Also, because of her acting experience, she knew how a set worked.

“Producing is natural for me because I know how to pull things together,” she explained. “I know how to bring a film to life.”

She continued, “It was just like the world opened up to me, and I realized that this was something I was good at – and people would pay me to do this. It is incredible to me that I can make a life out of pulling together these films and telling these stories.”

Shannon was a producer and second assistant director for a short indie film, We All Die Alone (2021). The film was selected for the Big Apple Film Festival in New York City, and she flew to New York for the premier. We All Die Alone was also shown in London at the 2022 Crystal Palace International Film Festival. “We have gotten good feedback from these festivals,” Shannon noted.

The Flourish (2019) is a short film produced and directed by Shannon, with a script written by her sister, Brittany Taylor.

Shannon was heavily involved in all aspects of the project, including the cast hiring, and was thrilled when two of the actors were nominated for Pacific Southwest Emmy Awards. The two nominees were Faithe Herman, a regular on the television show, This is Us, and Mark Christopher Lawrence, who has appeared in several television shows and films, including the film, Pursuit of Happyness.

“It is really exciting and validating – they are incredible actors – and I am glad that they were recognized for their talent and hard work,” she said.

Shannon launched Taylor Way Productions in 2019; and was recently hired as an assistant director for a feature film. This talented filmmaker is following her shimmering rainbow and, although her work is sometimes taxing, it is always satisfying.

Shannon eyes the future with several stories brewing in her mind, and someday, might set her sights on Los Angeles, but for now, she is doing just fine in San Diego – entertaining others, and having the time of her life.

Looking at the 24-inch tv screen, I recognized James Stewart as source. He fine-tuned his literary effort, and in 1943, attempted George Bailey who was walking down a dark sidewalk singing to have his story published. When no publishing house seemed “Buffalo Gals” with, as I learned later, Donna Reed as Mary interested in printing his fictional story, he self-published, Hatch who was the female lead in the film.

only one in every 1,794,351 people in the U.S. today have the name. Why would Capra create a real estate salesman character in the screenplay of “It’s a Wonderful Life” with such an unusual name? Does the Reineman name have a relationship to Capra, Fallbrook, Red Mountain Ranch and Bedford Falls?” The answer is an unqualified, yes!

Three Reineman brothers along with their wives and children called Fallbrook home in the 1920s through the 1960s and beyond.

One of the brothers, Lester A. Reineman was a rancher, civil engineer and a Fallbrook resident who dabbled in real estate during the late 1930s, ultimately opening his own real estate business in 1941.

Lester was also a field foreman for the Fallbrook Citrus Association and an acknowledged expert in the cultivation, packing, and shipping of all varieties of fruit. Documents located in the archives of the Fallbrook Historical Society indicate that Lester Reineman had interaction with Capra and his Red Mountain Ranch in the 1940s. It is believed that Lester may have facilitated the real estate transaction that resulted in Capra purchasing the 500 acres added to Red Mountain Ranch in 1943.

L.A. Reineman lived in Fallbrook, had dealings with Capra and he was a real estate salesman. No additional proof required.

Fallbrook’s Lester A. Reineman was the inspiration for Potter’s rent collector Reineman.

Capra also utilized some aspects of his own life in the screenplay of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” For example, the name Gower used for the druggist and his pharmacy is the name of the street in Los Angeles where young Frank Capra sold newspapers and a movie studio named Gower Sunset where many films were made.

The Stern story mentions that George and Mary have two children. “It’s a Wonderful Life” raised the number of Bailey offspring to four which corresponds with the number of Capra children. George and Mary’s oldest child was born in 1934 and was named Pete after George’s father Peter Bailey. Frank and Lucille’s oldest son was named Frank Capra Jr. named after his father. Frank Jr. was also born in 1934. The Bailey’s next child was Jane, or Janie, who was born in 1935. The Capra’s second child was named John who tragically died at the age of three from complications of a tonsillectomy. John was also born in 1935. Although the dates do not align, the Bailey’s adorable www.my-sourcebook.com

There is a difference, and you deserve the best.

Charles Lane as Reineman, Real Estate Salesman.

Zuzu was born in 1940. The Capra’s daughter Lucille, named after her mother, was always called Lulu, which sounds a lot like Zuzu, and was born 1937. Finally, the youngest Bailey child was little Tommy born in 1941. Thomas, or Tom, was the fourth Capra child who was also born in 1941. Too many similarities to be coincidences. I believe Frank Capra wrote his own children into the “It’s a Wonderful Life” screenplay.

Frank Capra even inserted himself into the film possibly as a tribute to, or more likely a tongue-in-cheek jab at fellow director Alfred Hitchcock who often made cameo appearances in his films. The film audience sees Capra in the scene where the Martini family, which is of either Italian or Sicilian heritage – Frank Capra proudly acknowledged his Sicilian roots – is moving from their shack owned by Potter into a brand-new home in Bailey Park. Mary and George are helping the Martini children pile into an old car along with a goat, which seems a little odd since the new Martini home is located in a modern subdivision. “Capra” is the Italian word for goat. The goat (Capra) crowds into the car with the children and stares right at the camera. If only the goat could wink, then we would all be in on the joke. Capra utilized a clever way to make his cameo appearance.

Obviously, Frank Capra’s personal life experiences resonated throughout the screenplay of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Why wouldn’t he also rely on his experiences in the only small town he had ever called home and the interactions with people who lived there?

The amount of time that the Capra family spent on the Red Mountain Ranch property is not known, however, a written record indicates that Lucille drove Frank from the Fallbrook Ranch to Union Sta- Letterhead L.A. Reineman, Realtor.

tion in Los Angeles to begin his military service during World War II. The Red Mountain Ranch purchase included an old stately two-story home with “four bedrooms, two baths and steam heat.” The home was very similar in appearance to the homes featured in “It’s a Wonderful Life.” By 1939, the house had seen better days and was demolished in 1952 after the new Capra home was constructed and occupied.

Even the name of his fictional town may have a relationship with Fallbrook. Bedford Falls – Fallbrook. Both town names evoke a visual image of cascading water. Perhaps one can even hear the sound of flowing water.

The fictional town of Bedford Falls in the film is actually a movie set built on 4.5 acres of the Encino, California RKO studio’s Ranch movie lot. Three onsite film locations used in the film are also in Southern California. The famous dancing scene with the gym floor that opens with the swimming pool below was filmed at Beverly Hills High School. The swim/gym as it is called is still in use today. The new Martini home located in the fictional Bailey Park still exists today and was filmed in LaCañada Flintridge. The railroad station was the Lamanda Park station which was demolished a number of years ago. A few World War II newsreel clips were inserted into the film. The remainder of “It’s a Wonderful Life” was filmed at RKO Studio facilities. The entire production of “It’s a Wonderful Life” was filmed within 100 miles of Fallbrook.

Another Fallbrook connection to “It’s a Wonderful Life” was added to the Bedford Falls Encino Ranch movie set. Capra had 20 full grown oak trees planted on the set. The only tree variety mentioned in the original Stern story was a maple tree which George remembered damaging with his car. Maple trees are not native to Southern California so the introduction of oak trees to Bedford Falls is possibly another Fallbrook connection.

Hundreds of ancient oaks stood proud with their long branches providing beauty and shade on his Red Mountain Ranch. In fact, the address and access to his home and most of the ranch was Live Oak Park Road.

A number of years ago a claim was made by a town in the state of New York that it is the “Real Bedford Falls.” The town has a museum and a festival celebrating everything “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

Certainly, Seneca Falls has two undeniable factors that give validity to the real Bedford Falls claim.

One, Seneca Falls, like the fictional town of Bedford Falls, is www.my-sourcebook.com

located in New York State. And two, snow falls in Seneca Falls.

Any other attempts to support the “Real Bedford Falls” claim are questionable, unverifiable and/or so generic that they can be claimed by almost any small U.S. town.

For Seneca Falls to be the model used for Frank Capra’s fictional town of Bedford Falls, he would have needed to actually set foot in the town. Neither Capra’s autobiography nor his biography mentions Seneca Falls. Additionally, no interviews, articles, speeches, diaries or correspondence refer to Seneca Falls. The “Real Bedford Falls” supporters rely on the recollection of a town barber who – after the fact – remembered that he had cut Capra’s hair.

Capra made a trip to New York City in late 1945 in an attempt to personally convince Jean Arthur to accept the role of Mary in his upcoming production of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Arthur was terrific in three of Capra’s films, including the madcap comedy “You Can’t Take It With You,” the charming “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town” and who can forget her performance in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington?” No wonder Capra wanted Jean Arthur to be the female lead alongside Jimmy Stewart who had already accepted the role of George Bailey. Arthur declined the role.

It was during this New York trip that Seneca Falls folks believe that Capra made a side trip to Auburn, New York, to visit relatives. The story goes that Capra stopped in Seneca Falls either going to or coming from Auburn to have his haircut. Was he driving a borrowed or rented car, in a taxi, on a bus or a train?

No one knows since there is no record of the trip. It defies logic to believe that Capra was in such dire need of a haircut that he would stop in a strange town, locate a barbershop and then have this hair cut by a barber he had never used before.

Another claim made that Capra actually visited Seneca Falls involves a plaque on a steel bridge located in the town. The plaque recounts the heroic effort of a local resident who jumped into the water below the bridge in an attempt to save a girl from drowning, only to lose his life in the process. The proponents claiming that Seneca Falls is the “Real Bedford Falls” believe that Capra saw the plaque and used the information as inspiration for George diving into the water to save Clarence from drowning.

Since there is no actual proof that Capra ever visited Seneca Falls, a much more plausible reason for the rescue of Clarence scene can be cited.

The original story by Sterns holds the true inspiration for George diving into the water to save his guardian angel. George SOURCEBOOK 2022

saved his brother from drowning in a body of water. Before descending to earth, Angel Joseph tells Clarence, “Something happens here you’ll have to remember later.” That something to remember is George rescuing his brother Harry from drowning.

The precedent was established. George rescuing Clarence was more likely the reprise of a pre-established circumstance, not an event derived from a plaque on a bridge.

Capra creating a fictional town named Bedford Falls was a brilliant marketing strategy. Bedford Falls, by not being any particular community, became practically any small town in America.

community to claim the title of the “Real Bedford Falls” requires some concrete and irrefutable evidence. Perhaps Fallbrook cannot claim the title of being the “Actual Bedford Falls” and neither can Seneca Falls claim to be the “Real Bedford Falls.”

However, only one of these two small towns can claim that Capra actually lived there.

Although lacking a New York state location and snowfall is such a rare event that photos of the white stuff reaching the ground appear as a front page spread in the local newspaper, much of Bedford Falls can be found in the DNA of the village of Fallbrook.

Another Capra film which provides fuel for the Bedford Falls – Fallbrook relationship is a true story and a typical Capra format; the triumph of good over evil. The film is titled “The Fallbrook Story” which you can find on YouTube. Capra’s name doesn’t appear anywhere in the film’s credits for obvious reasons. It’s the story of an average guy, a war veteran and his struggle to combat an evil foe. Like George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” G.I. Joe Edman, who actually represents the entire community of Fallbrook, is forced to resist the overreach of a Henry F. Potter type villain in the very real United States Attorney General James H. McGrath. AG McGrath filed a suit and claimed that Fallbrook’s water, which the community had been using for around 100 years, actually belonged to the United States government. Fallbrook fought the U.S. government, retained their water rights and won.

The simple fact that Capra would create a motion picture titled “The Fallbrook Story” is in itself a testament to the affection and attachment he had to the community and its residents. There is no known Capra film titled “The Seneca Falls Story.” The film begins with none other than award-winning director Cecil B. DeMille providing the introduction.

The year 1952 was a time in U.S. history when former Sen. Joe McCarthy led a witch hunt attempting to expose Communist activities, especially in the entertainment industry. Capra could be scrutinized under the magnifying glass held by McCarthy’s committee seeking out un-American Hollywood types. It was well known that Capra was a patriot who loved the United States.

However, his films occasionally projected a somewhat negative view of the system by exposing corruption in the political landscape, especially among U.S. government bureaucrats and politicians.

In the end, Democracy always prevails and the political system works, especially for the “little guy.” Capra films favored the www.my-sourcebook.com

average American instead of the large political machine which was gaining power during the Great Depression. Capra did not vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

It has been written that Frank Capra didn’t think “It’s a Wonderful Life” as a Christmas film when it was released in 1946. That may be true. However, Capra himself soon realized the Christmas holiday season is when interest in the film and its message had the greatest resonance with viewers.

A telephone conversation with Kathy Warner revealed that her family moved to Fallbrook in 1943 when her father, Jim Warner, took on the responsibility of managing his sister Lucille and brother-in-law Frank Capra’s Red Mountain Ranch operation.

Jim Warner owned a 14-acre property adjacent to Red Mountain Ranch and continued to manage the Capra’s ranch until it was sold in 1977. Kathy recalls a holiday tradition from the early 1950s.

The Capras would invite family members to their Red Mountain Ranch home on Christmas Eve for dinner, then Uncle Frank would screen “It’s a Wonderful Life” in the home theater.

The evening would conclude with everyone attending Midnight Mass at the local Catholic church. Back in the 1950s, Capra still owned the film rights to “It’s a Wonderful Life” making the availability of the film to any audience extremely limited.

Conclusion Bedford Falls is a fictional town. It is not any particular town and therefore it can be almost any town U.S.A. which is likely exactly the way Capra wanted it.

However, Fallbrook, California can claim the fact that Frank Capra lived here and a number of similarities actually exist connecting Fallbrook and Bedford Falls. Fallbrook can at least be considered the “Real West Coast Bedford Falls.” Frank Capra’s Red Mountain Ranch, the Ellis Hotel, James E. Potter, Reineman, real estate salesman, oak trees, his children, the Fallbrook town name and the film “The Fallbrook Story” all point to Fallbrook and its residents having at least some relationship to “It’s a Wonderful Life” and the fictional town of Bedford Falls. Could Fallbrook be a primary inspiration for the actual Bedford Falls?

You decide.

Hello, Fallbrook!

View of Fallbrook from De Luz Julie Reeder photo

Y

ou all are extremely fortunate to live in such a wonderful community, filled with beauty that is unimaginable unless you see it in person. From the rolling hills to the pristine backcountry, great things are happening in Fallbrook. I wantby Jim Desmond ed to share just a few of those with you.

For those who may not know, Fallbrook is located in the unincorporated area, which means I am the lead local government official for Fallbrook (You don’t have a mayor or city council). It’s my goal to be the best servant to the public according to your specific needs. I want to stay out of the way as much as I can, as you know your community the best. However, if you ever need anything, my office can help!

The San Luis Rey River Park is coming! For those of you unfamiliar with the park, this is a master plan park which will include two major park sites at each end, and a multi-use trail that will go from I-15 to Oceanside. Last year, we received $24 million at the Board of Supervisors, for the San Luis Rey River Park. The Bonsall Community Park will include two basketball courts, three baseball fields, two tennis courts, four soccer fields, pickleball courts, a tot lot playground, a youth playground, a bike course, a skate park, a dog park, picnic areas open space, shade structures, restrooms, miles of trails, and landscaped areas. This will be a wonderful asset for all of North County to enjoy and I look forward to the ribbon cutting in early 2023.

Speaking of parks, progress is being made on the Fallbrook Local Park. The new park is located off E. Fallbrook Street between Morro Road and Golden Road; about one block west of the Fallbrook Community Center and a few blocks east of the downtown core. Last year, the Department of Parks and Recreation acquired the 6.8-acre site, which will include an off-leash dog zone, skate park, basketball courts, pickleball courts, soccer fields and much more! Construction is expected to start this summer, with completion winter 2022/23.

Switching gears, we have been extremely fortunate in San Diego County to avoid any major wildfires over the past few years, but we know the risk in this region is constant. That is why we have made major improvements to evacuation routes and pre-fire strategies. Prevention is key, and we recently increased the frequency of defensible space inspections, enhanced pre-fire vegetation management, added new helicopters, and improved pre-fire emergency planning with a greater emphasis on technology and GIS mapping. Also, we have expanded the Heli-Hydrant program. A Heli-Hydrant is a pilot-controlled, remotely activated, 12-foot by a 5-foot deep open tank that is only filled when needed. Heli-Hydrants are similar to an above-ground swimming pool SOURCEBOOK 2022

that can be filled with approximately 5,000 gallons of water in six minutes. It will allow a firefighting helicopter to fill its water tank within a matter of seconds and return to the fire quickly.

Finally, Public safety has been and will continue to be my top priority. For any society, safety is imperative, and we are extremely fortunate to live in such a safe community thanks to our brave men and women who protect us. I believe we need to provide law enforcement the tools they need to do their job and work hand in hand in protecting our community. I will always continue to fund our officers, with whatever they need.

Those are just a few of the topics I’m focused on for 2022.

Fallbrook is a special community in large part because of the many active volunteers who are willing to step up and make a difference. I am grateful for your service and encourage others to get involved. As always, if you need anything, please contact my office, Jim.Desmond@sdcounty.ca.gov or give us a call at 619-5315555 and I look forward to seeing you out in the community!

f your spine is inflexible and stiff when you are 30, you are old; and if you’re flexible when you are 60, you are young,” Grove Pilates co-owner Amy Carpenter said.

Carpenter, 34, co-owns Grove Pilates with her husband Michael Carpenter, 39.

“We used Pilates to train our bodies for sky diving,” Amy said, adding that they have been professional sky divers for 10 years with more than five thousand sky dives. “We trained ourselves for the competition.”

“Our last world record was 164 people linked in pre-determined slots,” she said, adding that Pilates helped train them to be in tune with their core, which is their abdomens.

They took a break from sky diving to start a family. They have a 3-year-old and Amy is in her third trimester with their second child.

“Pilates was originally called ‘controlology,” she explained.

“Everything you do every day involves movement, picking up groceries and putting the kid in the car.”

“You want to be in control of your body and not at its mercy,” she said.

And so, they started Grove Pilates to teach others how do be mindful of their movements.

Located at 110 N. Main Avenue in Fallbrook, they have seven instructors, who are “all comprehensive certified.”

“Once you begin to move your spine, you’ll see more benefits,” Amy said. “Moving in multiple planned movements and the spine in every direction, you will benefit.”

She said Pilates helps you to recognize being mindful of a moment.

“We also work with a lot of people who have spinal pathologies,” she said, such as scoliosis. “We work with a lot of seniors.”

They teach flexibility classes. “We don’t just work with healthy bodies,” she said. “It’s all about spinal health.”

Private sessions are $80 down to $50, she said.

“We are continuously trying to grow and add new classes every week,” she said. “They are slammed but in a good way.”

“Booking out a week before is best,” she encouraged.

ormer teacher Maryann Collins is now teaching her passion – to help people lose weight, get fit and feel confident in themselves.

“I love this. It’s my passion. In this crazy world we have helpful nutrition, health and mindful relationships,” she said.

She opened Fallbrook Active Nutrition, 122 W. Ash Street off Main Avenue in the historic Heritage building, after she found success with her customers loving her Herbalife nutrition shakes. She’s been a distributor for eight years. She decided to take it to the next level. Her facility holds daily exercise, Jazzercise, Zumba, Yoga and World of Dance classes. Additionally, she has HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) classes.

“We provide a fit challenge every week,” Collins said.

Collins is totally enthusiastic about Herbalife. “Herbalife is the No. 1 nutrition company in the world!’’ she said.

Herbalife, she said, has a doctor on board. He signs all of the company’s supplements. She said all supplements are water soluble. She enthused that the company has its own farms in the United States and its products are grown from seed, and are all organic and all GMO-free.

“And every product has aloe vera in it,” she said.

She testifies to the success of Herbalife in her own life. She has seven children and went from a size 14 to a size 2. She started the business in her home, where she also taught piano.

“My client Lorraine, 77, lost 10% body fat and gained 7% muscle in six weeks on the program,” Collins shared.

Collins shared that Faro Trupiano of 127 West and Trupiano’s lost his weight on the program. She said Dr. Miller refers patients to her often. Others come in by word of mouth.

“Walk-ins for shakes happens every day,” she said. www.my-sourcebook.com

“What’s great about our business, is people can come in and try all our smoothies, without

making a commitment,” she said.

The smoothies contain green tea, which burns 100 calories, she said. A whole smoothie is 200 calories and contains 21 vitamins and minerals.

Her employee Lori Tanner, who lost 80 pounds on the program, delivers shakes to doctors’ offices and physical therapy offices.

The Smoothie Bar offers several flavors, and she said they all start with Herbalife powder and water.

Reyna Beckler Brings Passion

to Sage Yoga Studios

by Karen M. Ossenfort

“M

y real passion is teaching and being with people,” Sage Yoga Studios’ Reyna Beckler, who left the corporate world to open the studios with her husband, said. “It’s what I do, and I just do it.”

Beckler is a 1993 graduate of Fallbrook High School, where she was known as Reyna Velasco. She married Lee Beckler, a retired U.S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant, and they have children involved in the community and schools.

“My husband is my partner in everything,” she said. “Sage is a family-owned business.”

Beckler has been practicing yoga since 2000.

“I’ve been studying it for 22 years and it’s always been a dream to open and own a studio,” she said.

Beckler said at Sage Yoga they teach a physical yoga through breaths, movement, body awareness, and that there is “zero” religion involved. Types of yoga classes offered include Power Yoga, Beginning Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Hot Yoga and Relaxing yoga.

“When we teach, we connect with breath coming to the present moment; moving and being aware of how a pose feels in our moving. We want to recognize pain and learn methods of working through it with purposeful movements and then being able to hold the pose. Yoga is a mind, body and spiritual practice,” she said.

People, Beckler said, come to classes for varied reasons, some want one on one, others want community.

“We have classes for everyone, from beginner to advanced,” she said. “And not everyone wants to get fit, some come for the community.”

During the COVID-19 shutdowns, Sage Yoga began using Zoom for classes.

“Many members missed the community. Some would spend the day together after classes,” Beckler said.

The studios are operating with roughly half the classes they had pre-COVID-19.

“Even though we went online and outdoors, Reyna Beckler.

we lost 50%, and about 40% have not returned,” Beckler said.

“Right now, I think we are moving in the right direction,” she said adding that both the Fallbrook and Bonsall locations are open and offering classes. “We are looking at building it back up.

For me, bringing people together and offering a service is for community,” she said.

The Beckler children are involved with band and LaCrosse, and she spends her “spare” time being the Band Booster President and Band parent along with transporting the children to their events.

Asked how she does it all, Beckler said, “I don’t know; I just practice yoga myself and it keeps me grounded. And I practice gratitude daily. I have a great team. Eighteen instructors and just hired a studio manager.

“They come and teach and connect with the students,” she said.

“Growth definitely is in our future.”

Beckler said that walk-ins are welcome, and people can come to the studios and pick up a class schedule. Sage hosts special events, including meditation workshops, sound healing and Reiki classes.

For more information visit the Sage Yoga website online at sageyogastudios.com. Students can pick which location they want to sign up at. The Bonsall location is in River Village and is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. In Fallbrook, Sage, which just celebrated eight years, is located at 115 N. Main Avenue and is open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Sage offers an introduction package, where most students start, for $49 per month, which allows them to take as many classes as they’d like and to check out the different styles of yoga.

Beckler said that no membership commitment is required. Some students choose to pay $99 a month as a supporting member.

“We try to really get to know our members,” she said.

Tom Casey Creates Hope for Age-Related Disease Sufferers

by Julie Reeder

W

hen Rainbow resident Tom Casey’s much beloved mother passed away from Parkinson’s disease in 2001, his family’s grief was furthered by their sense of frustration that nothing of any enduring effectiveness was able to be done to halt her steady decline from vibrancy to involuntary movements, depression and then, with her facial expressions long frozen, her death.

Now 20 years later, Tom is the initiator of the first Institutional Review Board approved placebo-controlled study to prove in 205 years that the ‘Shaking Palsy’ James Parkinson described in 1817 can be significantly reversed.

Casey explained, “Previous to my study, Parkinson’s was primarily treated using medications targeted ‘at’ the motor dysfunc-

tion that enables the patient to physically perform as best as possible while the disease progresses.”

His study is currently undergoing peer-review prior to its publication. He doesn’t believe there has ever been anything preceding his plasma treatment that could provide so much hope to literally 10 million sufferers to safely and simply restore their lives back to a semblance of normalcy.

While his present achievement is personally unprecedented in its positive impact, Casey’s path to this point has been filled with amazing accomplishments.

Casey entered medicine via the IV business after graduating from the University of Connecticut, becoming McGaw Laborato-

He then left McGaw at the age of 26 to co-found the world’s largest compounding pharmacy/home infusion business that came to be known as Caremark. It is now known as CVS Coram. Coram currently administers 20,000 out-of-hospital infusions a month.

While Casey’s time at his infusion company was relatively brief, he went on to become involved in the development of the world’s first pulsatile heart-bypass machine and then served as an officer and director of an infection control division of Kema Nobel, Sweden, before spending over 20 years as the CEO and chairman of a public applied intelligence development company whose software was honored by placement in the UCSD Engineering timecapsule (to be opened on the University’s 100th anniversa-

Although Casey has been twice nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year and served 10 years as a member of the UCSD Industrial Liaison Committee and a member of the UCSD Chancellor’s Advisory Council, he also found time for Fallbrook.

Casey served as a member of the Executive Board of Directors of the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce. During his two years as the Chamber’s chairman of Government Affairs Committee, he developed a “Historic Initiative” economic revitalization strategy by authoring, documenting and legislatively passing California’s designation of Historic Route 395. He worked with local jurisdictions to install more than 120 signs along the 395 route in Southern California, including those that guide enthusiasts from San Diego to Riverside, traveling locally through Vista, Bonsall, Fallbrook, Rainbow and Temecula.

Our plasma donors are volunteers, although we do reward them with e-cards for their time to donate. U.C. Berkerly recently proved that frequent donations of plasma, once a week, promotes both neurogenesis and longevity.

Casey established an alliance with the Fallbrook Historical Society in reaching an unprecedented agreement with the county to create a new classification of historic registrations that included 23 historic sites and buildings in and around Fallbrook, many of which form the core of our Historic Downtown District.

Additionally, while serving as the acting chair of a San Diego North Economic Development Council public policy hearing, Casey initiated a Transportation Impact Fee review that resulted in a reduction of the cost to open a new business within the County of San Diego.

It was the launch of UCLA’s stem cell research program in 2005 that started his long journey towards addressing Parkinson’s.

Unfortunately, after many years of closely following the research to the point of almost establishing a stem cell clinic on the site of the former Santa Ysabel casino, Casey said it became understood that adult stem cells are tissue-specific and can only duplicate themselves, so their usefulness in disease fighting is, at best, limited.

Casey said, “At that very moment of abandonment of my stem cell clinic, I read a research paper in May 2014 that turned it all around. It was titled ‘Young Blood Reverses Age-Related Impairments in Cognitive Function and Synaptic Plasticity in Mice’.”

He said, “The publication in Nature Medicine pulled together research by Stanford, Harvard and other prestigious institutes in proving what many had often thought about for centuries, that young blood (plasma) may be a fountain of youth.”

“In that paper, the researchers revealed that old plasma injected into young subject animals made their cells functionally old and plasma from young donors injected into old subjects made their cells functionally young,” said Casey.

“Plasma, the most versatile component of human blood, contains an organically perfected mix of over 10,000 individual proteins, 5,000 different peptides, 1.8 billion exosomes per ml, 50 different gender specific hormones, 45 cytokines, enzymes and minerals.”

He continues, “The science of understanding the plasma proteome has advanced so far it is now understood that while we are physically programed to age at very specific stages in our life’s journey starting at 26, then reaching peaks at 34, 60 and 78, our plasma changes profoundly to control that aging to the point that it has now been shown that your age can become identified to an accuracy of within three years simply by reading its present composition, regardless of your size, shape or race.”

He concludes, “By simply infusing plasma from young sex identified donors between the ages of 18 and 25 into the sex and blood-type matched aging (the proteins most strongly associated with age also change significantly with sex), all the cells in their older bodies immediately respond by actively regenerating and restoring lost function, just as they did when young.”

Casey states that the benefits have been reported to last as long as two years.

Casey’s background in the IV business made him immediately recognize that not only has plasma been in use for 100 years, with the United States currently transfusing approximately 6,500 units per day. “Unlike stem cells,” he adds, “plasma is an FDA approved biologic with an extraordinary history and record of safe use.”

The FDA published in 2021 that in 2019 (their most recent data) only one plasma related and completely avoidable fatality occurred out of 2.1 million transfusions.

In Nov. 2017, with his knowledge and experience, Casey opened the world’s first and presently only FDA registered and Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB), and CLIA fully accredited blood bank that exclusively collects young plasma.

While Casey continues to live in Rainbow, his business, Spectrum Plasma, Inc., is located in San Marcos, Texas. His blood bank adjoins the very large campus of Texas State University from which it recruits its volunteer donors.

“Spectrum Plasma has now filled prescriptions for hundreds of patients, including supplying young Fresh Frozen Plasma (yFFP®) to the Parkinson’s disease study conducted at the Texas Medical Center: Young plasma infusions significantly improve clinical symptoms and UPDRS scores in patients with Parkinson’s disease,” noted Dian J. Ginsberg M.D., Principle Investigator.

The Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) is the most widely applied rating instrument for Parkinson’s disease as it includes 31 items contributing to three subscales: (I) Mentation, Behavior, and Mood; (II) Activities of Daily Living; and (III) Motor Examination.

While this success is hopefully the first of many age-related advancements to be supported by Spectrum Plasma, this study, which Casey has dedicated to his mother, Ellen, will always be the dearest to his heart.

Assisted Living

Respite Care

Memory loss can be a frightening and challenging experience. We understand that moving a loved one into a senior care community is often a difficult decision.

Our Regency Moments Program seeks to recognize each resident as the person they have always been and continue to be. We promote wellness, encourage socialization and focus on fostering feelings of self-worth with an emphasis on each resident’s specific strengths and abilities.

Our Assisted Living Program is designed for people who are still reasonably self-sufficient, but need a higher level of care than independent living provides. We meet with each resident and family to conduct an assessment prior to move-in. We recognize that each resident is an individual with unique needs and preferences and strive to maintain the highest level of choice, dignity, privacy and respect.

While many families and caregivers enjoy caring for loved ones at home, sometimes the physical, emotional, and financial toll can be overwhelming. Our Respite Care Program offers a short-term temporary residence solution to give dedicated caregivers a chance to rejuvenate knowing that their loved one is in a comfortable, caring environment.

Whether the search is for a short-term respite stay or a long-term living option, we invite you to visit Regency Fallbrook and experience our commitment to bringing independence to living and quality to life.

MedPlus Urgent Care Dr. Graydon Skeoch provides 30 years of emergency medicine and urgent care to Fallbrook families

I

f you or a loved one has ever had a serious laceration, broken bone, a sudden illness or more recently, needed a rapid Covid test for travel, then you’ve appreciated having an urgent care in Fallbrook. They also perform school/work physicals, work injuries, female exams and offer prescription refills.

It’s even more comforting when the doctor is a familiar face. Dr. Graydon Skeoch, the owner of Fallbrook’s local MedPlus Urgent Care, has served the community for almost 30 years.

Many people remember taking a child to Dr. Skeoch when he was in charge of the emergency room at Fallbrook Hospital for 15 years or going themselves with an illness, pain or even a broken bone after a bad fall.

Dr. Skeoch has always been in emergency medicine. It is, he said, where he sees his calling and where he believes he serves people best. He remembers working the last shift of Fallbrook Hospital in 2014 and what a sad day that was for our community.

“The hospital closing left a huge need in Fallbrook that I was able to see firsthand,” he said.

In the absence of true urgent care, Dr. Skeoch opened MedPlus at Alvarado Street and Brandon Road.

“We are true URGENT Care,” he said.

“Other medical practices have regular appointments and patients they have to work around. If you have an urgent need, we can take care of you right away.”

What type of urgent medical needs would you go to MedPlus for?

“If you have a broken bone, a laceration, seasonal illness, work injuries, things like urinary tract infections, asthma attacks, allergic reactions, minor eye injuries, nosebleeds or prescription refills,” Dr. Skeoch said. “We can help you right away. We are comprehensive urgent care with x-ray, EKG, cast material, splinting, nebulizer machine, etc.”

Dr. Skeoch is quick to say if you think you are having a major trauma, heart attack or a stroke, it’s important to call 911 immediately and go directly to the hospital.

“If someone in our office is presenting serious symptoms, we can help diagnose, stabilize them, and stay with them until the ambulance comes, but if you suspect a heart attack at home, it’s important to call 911,” he said.

MedPlus is also staffed with a nurse practitioner, a physician’s assistant, and another doctor who is available when needed. Their daytime hours are currently 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and they are expecting to reopen on the weekends to serve patients as the office continues to return to pre-COVID business levels.

Dr. Skeoch explained that Covid affected his business, the same as it did most businesses.

“We had to cut hours of operation as half our regular business cus-

tomers decided against being treated because they were afraid of getting Covid,” he said. “They were less likely to seek typical medical care.

“We are just starting to see business come back,” he said, and MedPlus also offers same-day telemedicine appointments if patients are more comfortable talking to a doctor or nurse practitioner online.

Dr. Skeoch still manages an emergency department outside of Fallbrook and works about six clinical shifts per month in the ER. This experience helps to maintain his ER skills which overlaps with what he sees and treats in his urgent care.

In the Skeoch family, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Dr. Skeoch comes from a family of doctors. His father was a doctor who served in WWII. When he returned after the war, he opened his medical practice in San Diego.

He passed at 90 years old in 2006. All of Dr. Skeoch’s brothers, like he and his father, are doctors who graduated from Loma Linda University. He has two brothers still practicing medicine, Dr. Gordon Skeoch has a family practice in Temecula while Dr. Dan Skeoch is an orthopedic doctor in northern California.

hen Bill Atkins opened his first physical therapy clinic in 1984, he was eager to serve Fallbrook residents with their needs in overcoming injuries, recovering from surgeries and more.

“I outgrew my initial facility and moved several times and added several facilities,” he said. “I added two partners, John Waite PT and Greg Smith PT, who greatly assisted in our expansion.”

Since partnering with Occupational Therapist Paul DiMeglio at All Star Physical Therapy in 2015, they have opened many facilities that have been able to provide solutions for patients in several communities. There are currently almost 30 All Star locations in addition to the Fallbrook location at 577 E Elder Street, Ste. I. Atkins, 66, said the most common reason patients seek help is for musculoskeletal injuries such as low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain or knee pain from injury or for post-surgery rehabilitation.

“We also see patients for balance problems, general weakness and deconditioning problems, fall prevention and TMJ disorders,” he said. “More recently we have acquired a therapist with expertise in pelvic floor dysfunction. We have specialists in hand therapy who are occupational therapists as well as speech therapists.”

96

Although most of the patients who go to All Star are from physician referrals, California is a direct access state which allows many patients to self-refer and be covered by insurance such as Medicare and private insurance.

“HMO referrals come by physicians and require authorization; we also take Worker’s Compensation patients,” Atkins said. “We are fortunate to be contracted with almost every insurance carrier in our area.”

Atkins said Waite has been in Murrieta continuously since 1989 and his son Aaron Atkins PT, worked under Waite for several years. Aaron is now director of the newest All Star office on Hancock Ave. in Murrieta. His other son, Andrew Atkins PT, runs their largest office in Temecula on Highway 79.

“I feel our newest office in the Hancock location will be very exceptional with an outdoor turf field, plus the ability to treat all forms of physical therapy with a focus on sports medicine, women’s health and pelvic floor dysfunction and pain, hand therapy and balance disorders,” Bill Atkins, of Fallbrook, said.

Collectively, more than 350 employees see a wide variety of patients in need of physical therapy. He said that while many of the therapists have been with All Star for a long time, the business is constantly adding to the team as they grow.

“The biggest challenge of a large company is knowing all the people who work with All Star and being able to connect with them in a personal way,” Atkins said. “We have a mission statement and values that give us a common core belief but knowing everyone in a more personal way is difficult.

Technology and virtual meetings have helped connect us, but nothing is as good as a one-on-one meeting.”

He explained that physical therapists are certified by the state of California and at a minimum are very highly trained and have to pass a difficult state board exam to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

How to Clean Your Arteries with

One Simple Fruit

The future of cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment will not be found in your medicine cabinets, rather in your kitchen cupboard or in your backyard growing on a tree

by Sayer Ji, Founder of GreenMedInfo.com Pomegranate Found To Prevent Coronary Artery Disease Progression A study published in the journal Atherosclerosis confirms that pomegranate extract may prevent and/or reverse the primary pathology associated with cardiac mortality: the progressive thickening of the coronary arteries caused by the accumulation of fatty materials known as atherosclerosis.

Mice with a genetic susceptibility towards spontaneous coronary artery blockages were given pomegranate extract via their drinking water for two weeks, beginning at three weeks of age. Despite the fact that pomegranate treatment actually increased cholesterol levels associated with very low density lipoprotein-sized particles, the treatment both reduced the size of the atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic sinus (the dilated opening above the aortic valve) and reduced the proportion of coronary arteries with occlusive atherosclerotic plaques.

Remarkably, the researchers also found that pomegranate extract treatment resulted in the following 7 beneficial effects: 1) Reduced levels of oxidative stress 2) Reduced monocytie chemotactic protein-1, a chemical messenger (chemokine) associated with inflammatory processes within the arteries.

3) Reduced lipid accumulation in the heart muscle 4) Reduced macrophage infiltration in the heart muscle 5) Reduced levels of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and fibrosis in the myocardium 6) Reduced cardiac enlargement 7) Reduced ECG abnormalities How can something as benign and commonplace as a fruit extract reverse so many aspects of coronary artery disease, simultaneously, as evidenced by the study above? The answer may lie in the fact that our ancestors co-evolved with certain foods (fruits in particular) for so long that a lack of adequate quantities of these foods may directly result in deteriorating organ function. Indeed, two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling argued that vitamin C deficiency is a fundamental cause of cardiovascular disease, owing to the fact that our hominid primate ancestors once had year-round access to fruits, and as a result lost the ability to synthesize it.

100

There’s another obvious clue as to how pomegranate may work its artery opening magic. Anyone who has ever tasted pomegranate, or consumed the juice, knows it has a remarkable astringency, giving your mouth and gums that dry, puckering mouth feel. This cleansing sensation is technically caused, as with all astringents, by shrinking and disinfecting your mucous membranes.

Anyone who drinks pomegranate juice, or is lucky enough to eat one fresh, can understand why it is so effective at cleansing the circulatory system. Nature certainly planted enough poetic visual clues there for us: its juice looks like blood, and it does resemble a multi-chambered heart, at least when you consider its appearance in comparison to most other fruits.

Indeed, your mouth and your arteries are lined with the same cell type: epithelial cells. Together, they make up the epithelium, one of four basic tissue types within animals, along with connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue, and which comprises the interior walls of the entire circulatory system. So, when you feel that amazing cleansing effect in your mouth, this is in fact akin to what your circulatory system – and the epithelium/endothelium lining the inside of your veins and arteries – “feels” as well.

The Pomegranate “Artery Cleaning” Clinical Trial Published in Clinical Nutrition in 2004 and titled, “Pomegranate juice consumption for 3 years by patients with carotid artery stenosis reduces common carotid intima-media thickness, blood pressure and LDL oxidation,” Israeli researchers discovered pomegranate, administered in juice form over the course of a year, reversed plaque accumulation in the carotid arteries of patients with severe, though symptomless, carotid artery stenosis (defined as 70-90% blockage in the internal carotid arteries).

The study consisted of nineteen patients, 5 women and 14 men, aged 65-75, non-smokers. They were randomized to receive either pomegranate juice or placebo. Ten patients were in the pomegranate juice treatment group and 9 patients that did not consume pomegranate juice were in the control group. Both groups were matched with similar blood lipid and glucose concentrations, blood pressure, and with similar medication regimens which consisted of bloodpressure lowering (e.g. ACE inhibitors, β-blockers, or calcium chanwww.my-sourcebook.com

nel blockers) and lipid lowering drugs (e.g. statins).

The ten patients in the treatment group group received 8.11 ounces (240 ml) of pomegranate juice per day, for a period of 1 year, and five out of them agreed to continue for up to 3 years.

The remarkable results were reported as follows: “The mean intima media thickness the left and right common carotid arteries in severe carotid artery stenosis patients that consumed pomegranate juice for up to 1 year was reduced after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of pomegranate juice consumption by 13%, 22%, 26% and 35%, respectively, in comparison to baseline values.”

You can only imagine what would happen if a pharmaceutical drug was shown to reverse plaque build up in the carotid arteries by 13% in just 3 months! This drug would be lauded the life-saving miracle drug, and not only would be promoted and sold successfully as a multi-billion dollar blockbuster, but discussion would inevitably follow as to why it should be mandated.

While these results are impressive, if not altogether groundbreaking for the field of cardiology, they may be even better than revealed in the stated therapeutic outcomes above. When one factors in that the carotid artery stenosis increased 9% within 1 year in the control group, the pomegranate intervention group may have seen even better results than indicated by the measured regression in intima media thickness alone. That is, if we assume that the pomegranate group had received no treatment, the thickening of their carotid arteries would have continued to progress like the control group at a rate of 9% a year, i.e. 18% within 2 years, 27% within 3 years. This could be interpreted to mean that after 3 years of pomegranate treatment, for instance, the thickening of the arteries would have been reduced over 60% beyond what would have occurred had the natural progression of the disease been allowed to continue unabated.

3 Ways How Pomegranate Heals The Cardiovascular System The researchers identified three likely mechanisms of action behind pomegranate’s observed anti-atherosclerotic activity: Antioxidant properties: Subjects receiving pomegranate saw significant reductions in oxidative stress, including decreases in autoantibodies formed against ox-LDL, a form of oxidized low density lipoprotein associated with the pathological process of atherosclerosis. Decreases in oxidative stress were measurable by an increase in the blood serum enzyme paraoxonase 1 (PON1) of up to 91% after 3 years; PON1 is an enzyme whose heightened activity is associated with lower oxidative stress. All of this is highly relevant to the question of pomegranate’s anti-atherosclerotic activity because of something called the lipid peroxidation hypothesis of atherosclerosis, which assumes that it is the quality of the blood lipids (i.e. whether they are oxidized/damaged or not), and not their quantity alone that determine their cardiotoxicity/atherogenicity. Essentially, pomegranate prevents the heart disease promoting effects of oxidative stress.

102

Blood Pressure Lowering Properties: The intervention resulted in significant improvement in blood pressure: the patient’s systolic blood pressure was reduced 7%, 11% ,10%, 10% and 12% after 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of pomegranate consumption, respectively, compared to values obtained before treatment. Pomegranate’s ability to reduce systolic blood pressure indicates it has a healing effect on the endothelium, or the inner lining of the artery which fails to relax fully in heart disease; a condition known as endothelial dysfunction.

Plaque Lesion Stabilization: Because two of the ten patients on PJ (after 3 and 12 months) experienced clinical deterioration, carotid surgery was performed and the lesions were analyzed to determine the difference in their composition to those who did not receive pomegranate. The researchers noticed four distinct positive differences in the composition of the pomegranate-treated lesions: 1.

Reduced Cholesterol Content: “The cholesterol content in carotid lesions from the two patients that consumed PJ was lower by 58% and 20%, respectively, in comparison to lesions obtained from CAS patients that did not consume PJ (Fig. 3A).” 2. Reduced Lipid Peroxides: “[T]he lipid peroxides content in lesions obtained from the patients after PJ consumption for 3 or 12 months was significantly reduced by 61% or 44%, respectively, as compared to lesions from patients that did not consume PJ (Fig. 3B). 3. Increased Reduced Glutathione Content: “A substantial increase in the lesion reduced glutathione (GSH) content, (GSH is a major cellular antioxidant) by 2.5-fold, was observed after PJ consumption for 3 or 12 months, (Fig. 3C). 4. Reduced LDL Oxidation: “LDL oxidation by lesions derived from the patients after PJ consumption for 3 or 12 months, was significantly (Po0.01) decreased by 43% or 32%, respectively, in comparison to LDL oxidation rates obtained by lesions from CAS patients that did not consume PJ (Fig. 3D).”

Essentially these results reveal that not only does pomegranate reduce the lesion size in the carotid arteries, but “the lesion itself may be considered less atherogenic after PJ consumption, as its cholesterol and oxidized lipid content decreased, and since its ability to oxidize LDL was significantly reduced.”

This finding is quite revolutionary, as presently, the dangers of carotid artery stenosis are understood primarily through the lesion size and not by assessing for the quality of that lesion. This dovetails with the concept that the sheer quantity of lipoproteins (i.e. “cholesterol”) in the blood can not accurately reveal whether those lipoproteins are actually harmful (atherogenic); rather, if lipoproteins are oxidized (e.g. ox-LDL) they can be harmful (or representative of a more systemic bodily imbalance), whereas non-oxidized low density lipoprotein may be considered entirely benign, if not indispensable for cardiovascular and body wide health. Indeed, in this study the researchers found the pomegranate group had increased levels of triglycerides and very low density lipoprotein, again, underscoring that the anti-atherosclerotic properties likely have more to do with the improved quality of the physiological milieu within which all our lipoproteins operate than the number of them, in and of itself.

Finally, it should be pointed out that all the patients in this study were undergoing conventional, drug-based care for cardiovascular disease, e.g. cholesterol- and blood pressure-lowering agents. Not only did the pomegranate treatment not appear to interfere with their drugs, making it a suitable complementary/adjunct therapy www.my-sourcebook.com

Clinical Study: “Pomegranate juice consumption for 3 years by patients with carotid artery stenosis reduces common carotid intima-media thickness, blood pressure and LDL oxidation.” for those on pharmaceuticals, but it should be pointed out that the control group’s condition got progressively worse (e.g. the mean IMT increased 9% within 1 year.)

Further Validation of Pomegranate’s Artery-Clearing Properties Pomegranate’s value in cardiovascular health may be quite broad, as evidenced by the following experimentally confirmed properties: Anti-inflammatory: Like many chronic degenerative diseases, inflammation plays a significant role in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis. There are five studies on GreenMedInfo.com indicating pomegranate’s anti-inflammatory properties.

Blood-Pressure Lowering: Pomegranate juice has natural angiotensin converting enzyme inhibiting properties, and is a nitric oxide enhancer, two well-known pathways for reducing blood pressure.

Finally, pomegranate extract rich in punicalagin has been found reduce the adverse effects of perturbed stress on arterial segments exposed to disturbed flow.

Anti-Infective: Plaque buildup in the arteries often involves secondary viral and bacterial infection, including hepatitis C and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Pomegranate has a broad range of anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.

Antioxidant: One of the ways in which blood lipids become heart disease-promoting (atherogenic) is through oxidation. LDL, for instance, may be technically ‘elevated’ but harmless as long as it does not readily oxidize. Pomegranate has been found to reduce the oxidative stress in the blood, as measured by serum paraoxonase levels.

One study in mice found this decrease in oxidative stress was associated with 44% reduction in the size of atherosclerotic lesions.

Ant-Infective: While it is commonly overlooked, cardiovascular disease, and more particularly atherosclerosis, is connected to infection.

Dentists know this, which is why they often prescribe antibiotics following dental work which releases bacteria into systemic circulation.

Plaque in the arteries can also harbor viral pathogens. Pomegranate happens to have potent antiviral and antibacterial properties relevant to cardiovascular disease initiation and progression. It has been studied to combat the following infectious organisms: Avian Influenza Poxviruses Candida Salmonella Escherichia Coli SARS Hepatitis B Staphylococcus auerus HIV Vaccinia virus Influenza A Vibrio (Cholera) virus References noted at https://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/how-clean-your-arteriesone-simple-fruit. © July 21, 2020 GreenMedInfo LLC.

Charming Fallbrook

Authentically a Destination

by Ruth Haferkamp

F

allbrook has evolved from expansive olive tree orchards in the late 1800s, later emerged into the Avocado Capital of the USA, and in recent years, due to water shortages, numerous elegant wine estates have majestically risen in the four corners of this small town. Fallbrook is a jewel of breathtaking scenic vistas of exquisite foliage and trees adding to the charm of its rolling hills and delightfully curving roads, guiding the visitor to enchanting wine estates, horse ranches, resorts, art galleries, nature trails, shops and much more.

I have had the honor and delight of studying at the Cape Wine Academy in Cape Town, South Africa. Then in 2001, I had the great pleasure writing my weekly column published in the

Julie Work grapes photo

Temecula Valley News, entitled “Grapevines.” The timing was perfect, as it was the beginning of the truly tremendous growth surge experienced in the Temecula Wine Country. How gratifying and astounding to observe the immense financial investments made by individuals and owners of these grand wine estates.

Happily. I have had the feeling of déjà vu, as I interviewed the many Fallbrook area wine estate owners. Their magnificent obsession and love of the land, amazing work ethics and the unique artistic touch to creating fine wines is certainly the magic formula for success. I am so excited and looking forward to watching our own “Charming Fallbrook Wine Destination” grow and expand from strength to strength.

att and Audrey Sherman are the owners of Myrtle Creek Vineyards. Matt is the winemaker and his wife handles the administration.

Matt shared with me that this is a family-run boutique winery making quality, hand-crafted wines in small batches. He said, “Most of our grapes are grown right here in our own vineyard, then picked by hand.

Our land has a long history of farming as citrus and avocado orchards. As water became too scarce and expensive to sustain those crops, wine grapes became the ideal solution.”

Matt’s passion for wine and a background in horticulture, and his father Bruce who has always had farming in his blood, created the perfect formula for Myrtle Creek Vineyards. The first vines were planted by the two men in August Courtesy photos of 2011 on the grounds of the old family orchards. Myrtle Creek opened its doors in September of 2017.

dobe Hill Winery is once again a brilliant example of why and how Fallbrook is distinguishing itself as a popular new wine destination. It was such an enthusiastic and exhilarating conversation that I recently had with Gordon Merrick the general manager of Adobe Hill Winery. Just the formula needed to produce the ground work for yet another winery to be added to the proud array of wineries scattered throughout Fallbrook.

“Adobe Hill is a family-owned vineyard that is developing a family-run winery in Fallbrook,” Merrick said. “Planting our first Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines in 2017, we were lucky enough to bottle our first vintage in 2021 and anticipate bottling our 2020 vintage and 2019 Reserve Blend later this year.”

The winery planted 10 acres of Italian varieties in 2020 and plan on serving all its varieties in the winery in 2022.

“We look forward to sharing some of North County’s finest French and Italian varieties in a spectacular parklike setting which enjoys some of the best views San Diego has to offer,’’ Merrick said.

We, at Adobe Hill Winery, look forward to sharing our new Tasting Room and vineyard with all the Fallbrook community in the coming months.

We hope to be opening mid-summer 2022.

oasted Oak Vineyards and Winery began when Roger and Marcia Flower bought the burned out parcel of land in 2008 and named their future winery after the one surviving tree on the property, a “toasted” oak tree.

Nine years later after clearing, planting the vines, and Courtesy photo building the winery, they were able to open their tasting room for business.

“All of of our wines are produced from grapes grown in Fallbrook, most from our own vineyard,” Marcia said. “We process the grapes and produce, bottle and label the wine right here in our winery.”

Roger’s dream has always been to have a place where he could make his wine from his own grapes.

“I didn’t have a true appreciation of the process until I experienced this place, the changing of the seasons in the vineyard, the taste of fresh grape juice on harvest day, and the tempting smells that fill the room on bottling day,” Roger said. “We’ve met so many good people here, some have become friends. We both feel blessed.”

Family owned and operated.

state d’Iacobelli, is a family-owned winery with breathtaking views bordering on the southern fairway of the Pala Mesa Golf Resort. It is owned by Dr. Ronei and Lisa Iacobelli.

“We began our journey into winemaking in 1998 where we planted our first vineyard in Temecula. Then in 2010, we became a licensed and bonded winery producing a variety of wines from that vineyard,” said Lisa Iacobelli. “In 2013, we purchased the spectacular 15 acres in Fallbrook and began planting exclusively Italian grapes on the property that was a former avocado grove that burnt in the 2009 Rice Canyon fire. Our tasting room was opened in 2014.”

Estate d’Iacobelli specializes in producing Italian inspired wines from its Fallbrook vineyard which include such varietals as Premitivo, Sangiovese, Fiano and Trebbiano grapes.

“California Grapes with Italian Roots is our tagline and our focus,” said Iacobelli. “We want everyone who visits with us to relax, enjoy our wines and the spectacular views. Last year we added a small menu of Italian antipasto and artisan Pinserella pizza to broaden the Italian experience.”

“We encourage our guests to come and be Italian for the day,” said Iacobelli.

allbrook Winery was one of the first pioneers in the now well-established Fallbrook wine region. Fallbrook Winery opened in 1981, in the mid 1990s the winery property was purchased by Rebecca “Pepper” Wood and Ira Gourvitz, replanting the vineyards resulting in the highest quality red and white varietals. The Fallbrook Winery 33degreeN Estate wines derive their unique designation from the latitudinal coordinates that their vineyard rests on.

Office Manager Paula Barke, says that each rootstock and corresponding varietal clone (Fallbrook Winery vines) selected for planting was based on precisely the unique climate of North Coast San Diego County.

“We are confident that the wines made from our vineyards compare favorably with those from the most well regarded grape growing regions in the world,” she said. “We take great pride in producing quality wines and we would be honored to share them with you. Please stop by for a visit and experience Fallbrook Winery’s selection of 33 Degree Estate wines.”

onserate Winery is owned and managed by Jade and Julie Work. Both grew up in Fallbrook and love the small-town country feel. They say the valley has held a special place in their hearts, and they were excited to be part of the former Fallbrook Golf Course repurposing and preservation of 116 acres of beautiful land. The two purchased the property in 2016. As Julie explained, “that is when Monserate Winery became a reality, and the hard work began.”

“Fallbrook has one of the most temperate climates anywhere, similar to Tuscany and other Italian regions,” Julie Work said. “For this reason, we feature 15 Italian grape varieties and pay close attention to every detail to make the best wines possible.”

The temporary building opened in October 2021 with construction on the new buildings set to begin this year.

“Our desire is to be a fun and exquisitely beautiful destination for friends and family to meet and make memories,” the two said.

The two say it has been an added blessing to have their sons, Josh, Jake, Joel and Joel’s wife Annie take on responsibilities to help carry out this vision.

“With the help of family, an amazing staff and community support we believe Monserate Winery will be a great success,” they said.

“Today, Wienerschnitzel is a nostalgic and iconic restaurant where guests continue to pass down their love of the brand’s legendary hot dogs, chili dogs, and corn dogs to their children and children’s children,” Galardi said. “New memories will be made, and traditions will live on as Wienerschnitzel evolves to meet the changing demand of today’s consumer while staying true to what made the brand a household name more than six decades ago.”

I have every confidence he will uphold his father’s vision to instill Wienerschnitzel’s place in the heart and minds of generations to come.”

As CEO, J.R. Galardi has his sights set on opening Wienerschnitzel locations outside the U.S. before year’s end.

He said he also plans to embrace new industry disruptors like virtual kitchens, product licensing and other nontraditional ways of serving its popular menu creations both domestically and abroad. Along with focusing on the profitability of all brands, Galardi is expanding efforts under Wienerschnitzel’s “Serving food to serve others” mission to provide even more resources and financial aid to for-cause organizations primarily benefiting children in need and the homeless.

s owners/managers of Berry-Bell & Hall Mortuary, brothers Steve and Scott McGargill are used to working with families who have funeral decisions to make. It’s an emotional time and they, along with their staff, are sensitive to the needs of families.

“I feel we’re a comforting place, dealing with the uncomfortable situation of dealing with losing a loved one,” said Steve McGargill, the older brother. “We aren’t bereavement counselors, we can offer referrals for that need, but we treat people with compassion.”

When you enter the lobby area there is a peaceful feeling with friendly framed photos including one of the building from sometime in the middle of the previous century. There is also a chapel for memorial services, though many clients choose another venue such as a local church.

Steve McGargill said the entire staff of six full-time and three part-time employees take care in providing answers during a stressful time.

“Our goal is to serve every family as if they were our own family,” he said, “honoring and respecting those who die is also taking care of those who live. Our goal is to produce five-star service for the families we serve for many years to come.”

Berry-Bell & Hall Mortuary is a family business, with the brothers sharing management responsibilities. Their parents are also part-owners. They purchased the business in December 2001, so they are beginning their 21st year of ownership.

Since it was an essential service, they didn’t close during the pandemic. The number of deaths increased, but there were no memorial services. Steve McGargill said that December 2021 and January 2022 were their most busy months.

Pre-need planning is an important aspect of the business. By anticipating their customers’ needs, he said they can provide a service personalized for each one of them. The staff is ready to help www.my-sourcebook.com

residents now and in the future with their funeral arrangements from start to finish.

While some people may not want to think about the end of their lives, for those who like to plan ahead the McGargills and their staff can help with the planning of all aspects of one’s future funeral and burial needs. About a third of their customers preplan their end of life services, according to Steve McGargill. Most of the people who preplan are above the age of 60, but it is never too early to make those arrangements.

Steve McGargill said that one of the reasons for preplanning funeral and burial arrangements is that “it allows you, yourself, the opportunity to determine exactly what type of final disposition you want. It allows you to put it down in writing, and pre-pay for your arrangements, so there are no questions as to your final wishes.

“Probably the most important reason people want to preplan, is that they want to save their children or family the burden of trying to make these decisions and pay for it at the time.”

Many people find it difficult to handle the details of a loved one’s funeral and burial, even with the help of a caring funeral director, so planning ahead can lessen the stress for everyone involved. The McGargills offer many options for those people

”

who want to work out the details to their own satisfaction before they die and be assured that their arrangements will be carried out as they planned.

“People can come in and get all of their plans, no matter how simple or detailed, written down on paper, without prepaying anything at all,” Scott McGargill said. “They can come in and prepay for just a portion of the arrangements now, with the balance being due upon death, from their family. Or they can pay for everything in full. Whatever they wish to do, we will try to accommodate them.”

The process can also be started by filling out a form on their website, http://www.berry-bellandhall.com, where more information can be found.

ulminating one of the longest-running federal lawsuits in San Diego County history, on Nov. 9, the Fallbrook Public Utility District christened its new $60 million water treatment plant, which will purify millions of gallons of water from the Santa Margarita River every year and deliver it to the residents of Fallbrook.

“Finally, the people of Fallbrook will be able to benefit from this abundant nearby water supply, which will provide our district with half of its water needs and reduce our reliance on

by Fallbrook Public Utility District expensive imported water,” said Jack Bebee, general manager of FPUD. “This took a lot of hard work by so many people from both our district and Camp Pendleton, and I’m very grateful that we were able to come together to make this happen,” said Jennifer DeMeo, FPUD board president.

“Having local, more affordable water is critical,” said Brigadier General Jason Woodworth, commanding general for Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.

“Both Fallbrook and Camp Camp Pendleton’s commanding officer, Pendleton rely heavily on the Brigadier General Jason Woodworth, water that Santa Margarita River speaks on behalf of the neighboring Marine provides. Luckily, through these base during the celebration of Santa Margarita River Conjunctive Use Project 68 years we were able to work completion. Both Fallbrook and Camp together and come up with Pendleton will share water from the new the best possible solution to treatment plant in Fallbrook. effectively manage this vital shared natural resource. Through the CUP agreement we will continue to work together for many years ahead with that same goal in mind.”

The new treatment plant is part of the Santa Margarita River Conjunctive Use Project, a joint effort of FPUD and Camp Pendleton. Through the project, water from the Santa Margarita River will be diverted into underground ponds and then pumped to treatment facilities on Camp Pendleton and in Fallbrook where it will be treated and used on base and in Fallbrook.

In 1951, the United States government, on behalf of Camp Pendleton, filed suit against Fallbrook over water rights to the Santa Margarita River, which flows 40 miles from southwestern Riverside County into the Pacific Ocean. The courts originally sided with Camp Pendleton; however, a modified agreement directed Camp Pendleton and Fallbrook to work together on a solution.

In the 1960s, Camp Pendleton and Fallbrook proposed the Two Dam Project, which involved damming the river in two locations.

To store the water, Fallbrook acquired nearly 1,384 acres on which www.my-sourcebook.com

to build a reservoir. However, due to a number of environmental issues, the project never materialized.

Years later, Camp Pendleton and Fallbrook conceived the Santa Margarita Conjunctive Use Project to capture river water underground, pipe it to new treatment facilities and deliver it for use on the base and for Fallbrook customers. In 2019, after decades of litigation, settlement talks and other delays, a federal judge approved the project, which resolved the 1951 lawsuit.

As for those 1,384 acres, they have become a popular recreational area over the years for hiking and horseback-riding, and through a recent agreement between Fallbrook and the Wildlands Conservancy, the property will be permanently preserved as open space and available for continued recreational use.

By using water from the Santa Margarita River and cutting back on imported water purchases, the district will have a local source of water that is not subject to other agencies’ cost increases.

Funding for the project comes from a low-interest, state revolving loan at 1.8% for 20 years. Construction of the project was awarded to JR Filanc Construction Co., which was able to finish the project on schedule – something of a marvel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Fallbrook plant is the final component of the project. Camp Pendleton has completed its part, which cost $47 million.

The dedication event held Nov. 9, 2021 was attended by more than 130 people; it included lunch from Rosa’s Mexican Café.

The lunch, giveaway bags and the set-up (tent, tables, chairs, decorations, etc.) was all paid for by the project builders Filanc and Alberici, and design engineer IEC. SOURCEBOOK 2022

Law Offices of Robert W. Jackson, A.P.C. Attorneys for the People

W

ith education in the fields of medicine and law, Fallbrook attorney Robert W. Jackson tackles some of the most difficult cases to bring justice for those suffering from serious spinal or traumatic brain injuries due to negligence or recklessness on the part of another.

The son of a Fallbrook neurosurgeon, Jackson studied chemistry and biochemistry in graduate school providing him with much anatomy and physiology background. He was also studying law and after his father passed away, focused all his attention on law school.

After 36 years as an attorney, Jackson’s favorite part of his job remains reading all the cards and letters he receives from previous clients that have been helped by his firm.

“Hearing their stories about what we’ve done for them that has helped make their life something they look forward to instead of having a bleak outcome is particularly rewarding,” he said.

Jackson’s office also takes on cases against utility companies and government entities that start wildfires, such as the 2007 Rice Canyon fire in San Diego County that burned several thousand acres and hundreds of homes.

Jackson served as the lead liaison for all the Rice Canyon cases and that blossomed into him gaining greater notoriety on a national scale for handling wildfire litigation.

He has been the lead trial counsel or lead liaison counsel for several different cases since that time.

“It was all a new genre at the time, and we developed the national model for handling large scale wildfire cases,” he said.

In addition to his Fallbrook office, Jackson has one in Cardiff-by-the-Sea and three in Northern California. There are four employees in Fallbrok that help keep the local office running, including attorney Federico Lathrop.

Born and raised in Chile, Lathrop has dual citizenship because of his Americanborn father and is bilingual in Spanish and 126

Attorneys Robert W. Jackson, left, and Federico Lathrop.

English. After earning his law degree at UCLA, he began working for Jackson as a law clerk and became an attorney there after passing the bar exam in February of 2019.

“Learning everything I have from Mr. Jackson has been a great experience,” Lathrop said. “I really like what he does because it’s a win-win situation when you get to learn, apply law and then help people.”

COVID-19 put all civil cases in the state of California on hold for the past year and all jury trials were continued or postponed.

Despite the challenge of no jury trials locally, Jackson has stayed busy with cases throughout many western states.

“The safety, security and health of my clients and my employees is absolutely critical to me,” he said.

Jackson said San Diego County jury trials may resume in mid-summer and his office will prioritize their backlogged cases on a critical need basis and then chronologically.

“We treat every case that comes in as a trial case but about 98% end in a settlement,” he said.

One of his most memorable cases occurred about 16 years ago and involved a four-year-old who suffered a brain injury from a vehicle accident. About four months ago, Jackson received an update saying the young man was now an honor student in his third year of college.

“We were able to resolve his case and set up a structured settlement fund for the type

of care and treatment he needed,” he said.

“It took care of all his needs, all his future medical costs and put him through college.”

Jackson said the average person doesn’t realize the time and effort that goes into bringing a case to trial citing that for every hour of a trial, there are about 50 hours of preparation that go into it. He said the most important skill a good trial lawyer can have is listening to really hear what someone is trying to say and that serving on a jury is the single greatest contribution anyone can make as a citizen of this country.

“Let me tell you what I repeat to myself time and time again before I start any trial; it’s a quote from Thomas Jefferson: The blood of our heroes and the wisdom of our sages has been dedicated and devoted to obtain the right to trial by jury. That right should be the creed of our political faith,” Jackson said. “Essentially what President Jefferson was trying to say is that of all the rights that were granted to us under our Constitutional system of government, the right to trial by jury is the one thing that equalizes the playing field in every aspect of society.”

VFW Post 1924 Honored with 2 Awards

Courtesy photos

T

he members of Charles E. Swisher VFW Post 1924 have been recognized by both the VFW National Organization and the VFW Department of California for their work during the 2020-2021 VFW year. The Post earned All-American honors for

St. Peter

Thrift Store

St. Peter Thrift Store is an active Ministry of St. Peter The Apostle Catholic Parish. Since the year 2000, our organization has provided �inancial assistance to families and individuals in the communities of Fallbrook, Bonsall and Rainbow.

Our Community Assistance Program (CAPS) is funded through the sales handled at the thrift store, by volunteers. Volunteers are always welcomed and needed. The countless hours the volunteers have spent provides the opportunities to assist individuals in their time of need regardless of race, nationality or social status.

SPTS is a monthly contributor to our Fallbrook Food Pantry. We are supportive of other local agencies when occasions arise.

the first time ever from the national organization as well as AllState honors for the second time (2016-2017) ever from the VFW Department of California.

“Every year the National and State Commanders put out the criteria to attain these prestigious awards,” said Post Commander Chris Ingraham. The criteria established is to award Posts that are well rounded in all the programs and services the VFW organization offers, some of the criteria is the same for both awards but other criteria are different based on the National and State Commanders’ priorities for that year.

“Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the members of Post 1924 chipped in when asked and helped accomplish what needed to be done,” said Ingraham.

The All-American distinction is the highest honor a Post can attain at the national level; the All-State distinction is the highest honor a Post can attain at the State level. “It is rare for a Post to attain both in the same year, but with dedicated members and a willingness to serve it can be done as we proved,” said Ingraham.

As an all-volunteer organization it takes hard work and a dedication to serve fellow Veterans, the Active-Duty Military and the communities the VFW Post resides in. “Post 1924 has been in existence here in Fallbrook since Feb. 2, 1941. That is 81 years the Post has been serving the communities of Fallbrook, Bonsall, Rainbow and DeLuz,” said Ingraham.

The Post was presented with certificates and streamers to commemorate the achievement of being an All-American and AllState Post. The Post Commander and Post Quartermaster (Elia Exile) were presented with special caps to commemorate their hard work; the members of the Post were allowed to acquire an All-American cap if they chose to do so.

“Post 1924 was one of 995 Posts to earn All-American out of 6,024 eligible Posts in the National Organization and was one of 32 Posts to earn All State, out of 266 eligible posts in the state of California,” said Ingraham. www.my-sourcebook.com

Fallbrook’s Charles E. Swisher VFW Post 1924 earns All-American and All-State honors for its programs and service to the community, including presenting a scholarship to a Fallbrook High senior, having a Color Guard at a charity golf tournament, placing flags on Main Avenue on federal holiday and doing a landscaping day for a wounded warrior.

Some of the accomplishments that were behind Charles E. Swisher VFW Post 1924 earning these prestigious awards were exceeding the community service hours criteria for both awards.

The Post prepared and delivered 843 Thanksgiving Dinners and 356 Christmas Dinners to the community during the height of the pandemic; these meals went to seniors and families that could not be with family due to the Stay-at-Home order that was in place.

Working together, we create a lasting legacy that is customized to your wishes that will profoundly change and improve the lives of others for generations to come.

The Post also assisted the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce with placing flags along Main Street on every federal holiday, and did flag maintenance whenever required.

The Membership of Post 1924 and its Auxiliary provided over $2,800 in youth scholarships during the pandemic. The Post assisted needy veterans and active-duty service members with $6,200 in financial assistance.

The Post also partnered with other nonprofit organizations to assist those in need during the pandemic like Wounded Warrior Homes, Warrior Foundation, Daniel Ferguson Memorial Foundation, North County Veterans Stand Down and local high school boosters and organizations.

“We did all this while the Post was closed due to the pandemic restrictions and not participating in local community events that were canceled due to the restrictions, events that we count on to raise the money we utilize for our programs and services. We held a special take out only Burger Night to raise some muchneeded funds that the community supported greatly and received donations through members, the community, and state and county pandemic grants that were available to us. As the post commander, to earn these prestigious awards during a pandemic that added additional hurdles for us to conquer makes it mean all that much more,” said Ingraham.
