Last Thursday evening the Warrior wrestlers went head to head against the Oceanside Pirates at Oceanside High School. They fought especially hard and both the freshman/JV and varsity teams won! Then, on Saturday the 21st, Fallbrook’s girls team went to the first-ever Girls CIF 7 Regional Tournament. Fallbrook has had female wrestlers on the team for several years but this is the first year they have had enough girls to make a separate team. Jennifer Fauskin took fifth place in her weight class and will, therefore, be s...

The Coalition of Democrats and Independents, which meets only four times a year in the afternoons, cancelled its January afternoon meeting and will resume in April.

Rex and Connie Gordon of Bonsall have contracted with Sprint-Nextel to devastate the aesthetics of our property and community by installing a cell tower and wireless maintenance communication facility. The Gordons are conveniently installing this atrocity in the upper back section of their property, which has no impact on their view yet devastates our front yard’s primary westerly view! Doesn’t everyone desire to have neighbors like these? I am a licensed real estate agent and am confident that no one moves to Bonsall to hav...
Her parents spent their last Christmas with her not knowing it was her last Christmas. Could they — would they — should they have done something different? They will never see their baby girl graduate high school, they will never get to send her off to college, they will never get to meet ‘the one,’ her dad will never get to walk her down the aisle and give her to the man who is going to take care of her for the rest of her life. They will never get the call that they are going to be grandparents, they will never get to stand...
History sometimes becomes what liars write, or what witnesses simply fail to report. Many polemicists attempt to rewrite history to make it fit their own agenda. Rulers, nations and cultures have done so throughout history, but almost always the truth comes out, even if decades, or even centuries, later. Fortunately, in this age of Google, it is much easier to expose untruths such as those written by Dr. Paul Kengor in his column in the Village News (1/26/06) entitled “Yes, I admit I hate Bush.” One central statement by Ken...
As a Black Conservative author of “It’s OK to Leave the Plantation” I understand why Hillary Clinton used the plantation in a recent speech. Hillary Clinton’s use of the word “plantation” was appropriate for the democratic Senator from New York. As a member of the Democratic Party, Clinton is an expert on plantation management and the plantation Mentality. It was the Democratic Party that fought to keep slavery legal, supported the south during the civil war and supported the formation of the Klan. It was the Democratic... Full story
Can you say “Woooah?” And yes, to answer your question, you are alone in seeing it. I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say. Are you a Christian? Are you a Jew, an Atheist? Please tell me, because you lost me. I went to see “The Chronicles of Narnia” today, because I was shocked and thrilled at how “unsettling” this film was to some and how its critic in last week’s Village News opinion page has unsettled me. Trust me, I doubt that anything is “purposely out of place” in this movie in a world that no longer ac...
The Fallbrook Citizen’s Crime Prevention/Neighborhood Rehab Committee would like to express our appreciation for the story you printed January 5, 2006, “Six open cases of juvenile prostitution” by Lisa Harpole. We, the citizens, need and want to know the truth about our community. The problems can’t be solved until we have identified them. Deputy Rick Castro, San Diego Sheriff Department’s Coordinator, is one of the leading experts in human trafficking (juvenile prostitution) for law enforcement. He will be making a present...
After much controversy, Bonsall Charter Academy for Learning (BCAL) had its charter revoked by the Bonsall Union School District Trustee Board of Directors. Many students and parents were outraged by the board’s decision and were left without a school. While many families enrolled in out-of-district schools, others remained when talk commenced about a school succeeding the existing campus in Bonsall. In the end it was determined that Julia Charter School (JCS) would take over the BCAL campus. JCS began its spring semester on...
Why is it that Rainbow Water Municipal District (RMWD) board members take so much heat when the public wants leaders who are problem-solvers, not partisans? It’s one thing to waffle, straddle or flip-flop and delay; most politicians do that at one time or another. But being an RMWD board member is not being a politician so much as it is being a responsible leader looking at options to solve local problems. Developing and articulating strategic master plans to ensure reliable water and sewer systems, fund capital improvement p...
