  • Follow me, I'm blind

    Zachary Elliott, Special to the Village News|Updated Nov 18, 2024

    Dragging my luggage around while trying to navigate Japan’s public transit system was no small feat – especially when I kept encountering the rigid tiles running right down the middle of the sidewalk. They were everywhere. After losing control of my luggage for the umpteenth time, I exasperatedly said to my wife, “Whose idea was it to put these bumpy tiles right in the middle of the sidewalk?” She responded, “They’re for blind people.” Awkward! That’s when I started taking a closer look and noticed a deliberate patt...

    Elizabeth Lentulo|Updated Nov 17, 2024

    Is your property starting to gather cobwebs, sitting endlessly on the market? There could be many factors at play—some beyond your control, but others might just need a bit of tweaking. Sometimes, it’s the small, overlooked details that hold back a sale, leaving potential buyers asking, “What’s going on here?” Let’s explore the common (and sometimes surprising) reasons why some homes won’t sell, and what you can do to break the cycle. Why Some Homes Won’t Sell They insist on an unrealistic price even though market value is...

  • The election is over but the real work has just begun

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Nov 17, 2024

    President Trump is going to be the 47th president of the United States of America. It is a tremendous victory. There's been really nothing like it in American history in terms of what he had to overcome to gain his seat back or his office back. He faced large odds that no other president or candidate for presidency has ever faced. And he promoted and grew a broad national coalition that could have potentially long lasting solidity in our nation's political life where he... Full story

  • Term limits and more…

    Assemblymember Marie Waldron, 75th District|Updated Nov 17, 2024

    Proposition 28, approved by 61% of California’s voters in 2012, established our current term limit system. California legislators may serve a total of 12 years – Senate terms are four years and Assembly terms are two. I’m now finishing my sixth Assembly term – my 12th and final year. Prior to 2012, legislators could serve a total of 14 years, but only three terms in either house. There are 99 legislative chambers throughout the 50 states. Of these, 16 states have enacted... Full story

  • Preparing for Santa Ana Season

    Supervisor Jim Desmond, 5th District|Updated Nov 17, 2024

    As we enter Santa Ana season, the threat of wildfires looms larger, especially in our communities prone to high winds and dry conditions. San Diego Gas & Electric is closely monitoring these conditions, ready to act if necessary to protect our safety. One such precaution may be shutting off power to reduce the risk of fires igniting from downed power lines. While I understand the inconvenience of losing power, it is essential to remember that these temporary disruptions serve... Full story

  • Kicking It

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Nov 17, 2024

    Whoopee! Oh, my gosh! Whew! The world is safe again. And that is all I have to say about the Nov. 5 results because America has spoken. Celebrating Veterans Day last Monday was a reminder of the high price of war. Like this new administration, I, too, believe our armed forces should never have to leave our shores to save anyone else’s hide, ever again. It’s up to the rest of the world to manage without us. Now that worry has lifted its ugly fingers from my brain, I can foc... Full story

The two losses to Valley Center and the split with El...

  • Fall league prepared Warriors for boys basketball season

    Joe Naiman, Village News Reporter|Updated Nov 16, 2024

    Fallbrook High School boys basketball coach Jonathan Terry also has the Blue Wave club, and the high school boys participated in a fall league. For Terry, success wasn’t a matter of the win-loss record in the fall league but of preparing the players for the CIF season. “We did good,” Terry said. The fall league began Sept. 9 and concluded Oct. 20. “It’s about development, competition,” Terry said. “We played higher-level competition.” The 2023-24 Warriors had an overall record of 14-15 including CIF playoff results. Fallbrook...

  • Seals' veteran defender Cam Holding anchors team, community

    Noah Perkins, Coast News|Updated Nov 15, 2024

    By National Lacrosse League standards, San Diego Seals co-captain Cam Holding, 35, is a bristlecone pine tree with an ever-widening base, an Aldabra giant tortoise slowly traversing the Seychelles archipelago, and handprints stenciled on rocks in Argentina. In other words, the Seals' 6-foot-1, 205-pound defender is old. "There's not a lot of guys that have 10-plus years in this league," Holding told The Coast News. "I'm going season-by-season, and my body will likely tell me... Full story

  • "Honoring Our Veterans"

    Dr. Rick Koole|Updated Nov 7, 2024

    One of the distinctives of the Fallbrook community is the number of military veterans living in our midst. As we prepare to celebrate Veterans Day on November 11, I thought it appropriate to share the following article by Katie Lange and posted on the Department of Defense website. She lists five facts Americans should know about Veterans Day. Veterans Day does NOT have an apostrophe. A lot of people think it’s “Veteran’s Day” or “Veterans’ Day,” but they’re wrong. The holi...

    "We are asking the community to think back to any contact they may have had in the spring of 2022 with someone using her name, possibly for credit or housing purposes," family spokesperson Tami Roy said. "Any information, no matter how small, could help us find out what happened to Elena." The possibility remains that Elena herself may be in a vulnerable state, confused and having traveled to another local. The family of missing Fallbrook woman Elena Roy is seeking the...

  • EXPOSED: Wealthy members at CARB look down from their ivory tower as they jack up gas prices 65 cents per gallon

    Senator Brian W. Jones, 40th Senate District|Updated Nov 7, 2024

    SACRAMENTO, CA - Like Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, the overwhelming majority of his hand-picked members of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) are wealthy and can easily handle paying more for gasoline after they hike the prices 65 per gallon on November 8. An analysis of CARB members' publicly available Statements of Economic Interests (SEIs) reveals that 10 of the 14 are considerably wealthier than the average Californian. Moreover, CARB’s Executive Officer, Steve Cliff, is a millionaire. “A Governor who lives in... Full story

    Joe Naiman, Village News Reporter|Updated Nov 7, 2024

    The various legal actions involving the Fallbrook Public Utility District and the Santa Margarita Watershed include allocated runoff from Lake Skinner in Temecula. A lack of recent runoff warrants a hydrologic review, and the October 28 FPUD board meeting included awarding a contract for a hydrology study and conceptual runoff model. The 5-0 vote authorized FPUD general manager Jack Bebee to sign an agreement with Stetson Engineers to perform the hydrology study and conceptual runoff model for Lake Skinner which will study...
