3. David Whiting of the Orange County Register describes how an Aliso Viejo climbing trainer saved him from a short tumble off Stoney Point: 

   "As I get up from my fall, I marvel how I managed to avoid a small boulder next to the pad. My climbing partner, Dennis George of Aliso Viejo, grins. He mentions that's why he pushed me on the back.

   "Push? I was too busy falling to notice George's save."
4. Joshua Tree came to Aliso Sunday to rock the house. They're a U2 tribute band. Since when did U2 start drawing tribute bands?
5. The Falls Fire has burned 1,500 acres of the Cleveland National Forest as of midnight Tuesday morning. The Ortega Highway is closed to everyone but residents and two communities have been evacuated.
