  • The controversy over HR 6666

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated May 21, 2020

    There is a lot of conversation and controversy over House Resolution 6666 introduced by Democrat Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois with 58 co-sponsors. H.R. 6666 is the “COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone Act.” Tracing is not a new idea, but it has been a hot topic on social media and radio talk shows in the last week. Opponents said it’s likely unconstitutional and violates the First, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and Ninth Amendments. The bill itself is short, but it ha... Full story

  • Grandparents offer perspective and comfort for young people

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Apr 25, 2020

    One of the most important things grandparents offer children and grandchildren is the gift of experience. While this benefit may be obvious, right now it’s more important than ever, even if physical visits are limited due to stay at home orders and risk of COVID-19 infection. Young people who have been raised in the U.S. during the most prosperous time in history have only their own experience as a point of reference. Grandparents have lived through other recessions, p...

  • An open letter to the community

    Julie Reeder|Updated Apr 8, 2020

    We want to thank the Fallbrook Regional Health District for supporting this COVID-19 special issue, as well as John Hine Mazda/ Subaru, our local Realtors, the chambers and ALL our advertisers. As with previous disasters many Village News advertisers have had to close their doors and pull their advertising. It’s the same all across the country, and likely around the world. The Seattle Times wrote that, “While journalists may be performing an essential business, the bus... Full story

  • Let's pull together

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Apr 2, 2020

    I have been talking to local businesses scrambling to try and figure out how to stay in business. For most business owners, if we can qualify for part of the $2 trillion bailout through the Small Business Administration it will be a temporary bandage, but we still have to be able to stay in business and pay that back. There is part of these loans that they are saying will be forgiven if we can keep from laying people off, which makes sense. To keep as many people employed as... Full story

  • Village News is here for you

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Mar 19, 2020

    While some small businesses are coping with the COVID-19 situation, restaurants are accommodating their customers with take-out, and we encourage you to continue to patronize these local businesses as well as others if possible. It will make a huge difference while small businesses are working on ways to stay in business and keep their employees. That’s one of the reasons we are taking time and assets to write about how local businesses are affected. We also remain here for y... Full story

  • Issa sits down with Village News

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Jan 20, 2020

    Darrell Issa served coastal San Diego and Orange counties for almost two decades in the U.S. House of Representatives, first in California’s 48th Congressional District, then in the 49th after redistricting. Issa, a Republican, did not seek reelection in 2018, and his former district flipped to Democrat Mike Levin that year. But with Rep. Duncan Hunter’s conviction of a federal corruption charge and resignation from the House of Representatives, Issa has chosen to run in Hun...

  • Let's ask the hard questions

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Oct 18, 2019

    Our papers have earned 200 journalism and community awards, while working hard to be a credible forum for communication, freedom of speech and diversity of thought in the opinion section for people and groups in town. We have appreciated what everyone contributes to our community. We aren’t always going to agree with each other I believe that makes life more interesting. We learn more from each other if we have diverse views, share those views and learn from each other. I i... Full story

  • Another point of view: Is global warming worth the anxiety on our young people?

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Sep 27, 2019
    2

    There are many scientists who have a healthy, science-based skepticism regarding climate change and who don’t believe it’s responsible to create such social anxiety in our young people and that it is less about science and more about ideology. Global warming is the biggest public policy issue of our generation, and there are those who want to spend possibly hundreds of trillions of tax dollars to fight it. How many degrees are we talking about? Just how much global war...

  • A note from our publisher; Reaction to our national news pages

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Sep 17, 2019

    While I had just about the same number of people excited about our new national news, I appreciated the three people who actually took the time to call me or email me and let me know they were not happy that we published a couple stories from the Epoch Times as part of our rollout of state and national news. I believe they were ok with the Associated Press pieces. One woman was very angry and “disappointed” in us. As I tried to explain that I believe it’s important to hear... Full story

  • Finishing touches are preparing Palomar College Arboretum for reopening

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Sep 10, 2019

    Palomar College, with the help of Proposition M funding, is near completion of a six-month renovation of the Edwin and Frances Hunter Arboretum, a public nature preserve on the eastern edge of the San Marcos campus. “It’s a place for people to go and relax and be in nature,” Antonio Rangel, grounds services supervisor and Palomar College Arboretum president, said. “But more importantly, it’s for species conservation and education – to educate the public about the different s...

  • Farewell to Senator Joel Anderson

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Oct 20, 2018

    Poet Robert Frost exclaimed, "Nothing gold can stay" and that is how I and likely many of the almost 1 million constituents of California State Senator Joel Anderson feel as his term concludes at the end of November this year, if they have been staying abreast of what they're Senator has been accomplishing. He is a Republican whose voting record has gotten the highest ratings from the American Conservative Union, California Taxpayers Association, California Republican... Full story

  • We need to protect our free speech rights

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Jun 16, 2018

    This week I was appalled by a law moving through our California legislature that limits free speech (AB2943). In Canada they’ve gone one step further and now have “compelled speech” laws as well as tribunals to enforce them. It’s a huge problem. It’s political correctness gone way too far. How could this happen? I blame in part some university professors as well as the national media. Why the university professors? I have often complained about how many journalism graduates... Full story

  • We're celebrating 20 years!

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Dec 24, 2017

    I must hear once a week, “But aren’t newspapers dying?” or there’s even the person who says it authoritatively to me like they are delivering news to me that I need to hear (and have never heard before) “Well, you know newspapers are dying and digital is the future.” What’s true is that more people still pick up a newspaper Monday morning after the Super Bowl than actually watched the Super Bowl. And newspaper readers are statistically “influencers.” They are typically mor... Full story
