Of the over 4,000 bee species native to North America, the mason bees are the easiest to raise and are indigenous to the area. These bees are also gentle and amazing pollinators for fruits, veggies and flowers around the home landscape. These bees are different from the honey bees, for gardeners can raise them in the backyard by providing nesting sites in a simple mason bee house. A female mason bee carries pollen mainly on the underside of her hairy abdomen and scrapes the po... Full story
Da South in ya Mouth owner, operator and head chef, Andra Riles said he knows exactly where his passion for food comes from. "Growing up in rural Georgia, my grandma, she was a serious cook, man," Riles said. "She could put anything together. Just watching her, learning from her, that passion comes from her. The way she brought family together, changed people's lives, different things like that. I think that's what resonates with me." That ability to bring people together is...
In 2019, the San Diego County Water Authority repaired a leak to a pipeline in Moosa Canyon. That repair was followed by an assessment of the other two SDCWA pipelines in the area, and one of those was found to be at risk so the CWA will be making repairs to that pipeline. A CWA board vote, Feb. 27, authorized CWA general manager Sandra Kerl to take the necessary contracting and other actions for the repairs on Pipeline 5 in Moosa Creek. The current schedule includes shutdowns March 30 through April 5 for the installation of...

SACRAMENTO – State Sen. Brian Jones, R-Santee, announced Feb. 27 that he is co-writing two bipartisan measures with Assemblymember Jim Patterson, R-Fresno, aimed at assisting the victims of human trafficking. Human trafficking is defined by the United States Department of Homeland Security as: “the use of force, fraud or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.” The victims are often children and frequently are runaways or missing youth. All-too-often, these vulnerable young people, whose average age i... Full story
Matthew Vadum The Epoch Times The Trump administration told the Supreme Court that a foreigner who entered the country unlawfully and was thrice denied asylum during administrative proceedings doesn't have the legal right to challenge an expedited removal order in the courts. If the government loses the appeal in the case, known as Department of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam, the flow of illegal aliens and would-be asylees to the United States could accelerate at a time...
Carla K. Johnson The Associated Press An increase in testing for the coronavirus began shedding light Monday, March 2, on how the illness has spread in the United States, including among nursing home residents in one Washington state facility. New diagnoses in several states pushed the tally of COVID-19 cases past 100, and New Hampshire reported its first case, raising the total of affected states to 11. Seattle officials announced four more deaths, bringing the total in the...
Collin Binkley The Associated Press Schools across the United States are canceling trips abroad, preparing online lessons and rethinking "perfect attendance" awards as they brace for the possibility that the new coronavirus could begin spreading in their communities. Districts have been rushing to update emergency plans this week after federal officials warned that the virus, which started in China, is almost certain to begin spreading in the U.S. Many are preparing for...
By the end of the 2019-2020 season Fallbrook High School’s girls’ soccer team had a roster of 13 available players including some who had been called up from the junior varsity. The Warriors finished the season with a 1-6-3 Valley League record and a 4-12-3 overall mark; the Warriors did not receive a berth in the CIF Division II playoffs. “We had injuries on both JV and varsity,” Fallbrook coach Sergio Garcia said. “Even then the girls played well.” Fallbrook’s only league victory was Jan. 28 against Valley Center High S...

As the post commander of the Fallbrook Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1924, I would like to say thank you to the Village News for printing a great article about burger night at the Fallbrook VFW. We have had two burger nights since the article ran, and they have been busy. We average 35 burgers or so and have been up over 45 burgers for the last two burger nights. Several of those that came in said they read the article and heard about the burgers and wanted to see for themselves. They all said they would be back and bring... Full story
A few weeks ago, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors passed a comprehensive board policy to address homelessness in the unincorporated area of the county. My office has received numerous questions from Fallbrook residents and the surrounding areas. There seems to be some misinformation, and I want to provide you with an update. The immediate concerns addressed in the board letter focus on the areas in East County such as Spring Valley and Lakeside where the population... Full story
Dear Editor, We thank you for the article about Rancho Monserate Country Club and our concerns regarding Rio Prado Park. We have been working with the county since March 2019 and have had five meetings with them, one with our lawyer present. I personally have written to the San Diego Board of Supervisors. The last time was two weeks ago to all of them, and we have not heard one word from them. We feel, as tax paying, voting constituents that we deserve a response to our concerns. We do not oppose the park. We don’t want b... Full story
The Democrats deserve a proto-Communist like Bernie Sanders as their likely presidential candidate. For decades the Democrat Party has flirted with and has had a sick fetish with socialist and Marxist regimes as they backpedaled during the Cold War against the then USSR and their Iron Curtain, and Soviet modeled countries littered throughout Latin America, Asia and Africa. During the Depression, former President Franklin D. Roosevelt sent his so called “brain trust” to the USSR and to fascist Italy and Nazi Germany to bri... Full story
James D. Veltmeyer, MD They tried Russia. They tried the Steele dossier. They tried emoluments. They tried the 25th Amendment. They tried Ukraine. They tried impeachment. The globalist elites and their handmaidens in the Democrat Party establishment and the kept press have tried every phony trick in the book to bring down President Trump. Yet, he’s beaten them back every time. Somehow all of these politically- inspired witch hunts and manufactured scandals were no match for a roaring economy, low unemployment, a soaring s...

The last Tuesday in February is World Spay Day, an international effort originally started by the Doris Day Animal League in 1995. To mark the day, I joined some legislative colleagues on the Capitol lawn, with representatives from animal rescue groups and shelters throughout California, including Dr. Gary Weitzman of the San Diego Humane Society, to help increase public awareness about the importance of spaying and neutering our pets. Last year, the San Diego Humane Society p... Full story
FALLBROOK – Thinking of finally getting your own home this spring? This season is the busiest time in real estate, and here are reasons why it is a good time to buy and hopefully help homebuyers "spring ahead" to a decision. Extra cash from your tax refund. For those who finish their taxes and end up getting a fine amount of refund, this additional money can be used as a down payment. School is out in summer. There is a strong chance the family will be moving in summer if a n... Full story
The overlay designator for land which had been previously restricted by the Forest Conservation Initiative was approved by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. The supervisors’ 5-0 vote, Feb. 26, does not prohibit a general plan amendment for properties within the overlay area although any general plan amendment must meet water supply, fire safety, environmental resource, land use pattern, emissions and open space, including agriculture, preservation criteria and would also be analyzed for consistency with the c...
The CIF San Diego Section has four divisional wrestling tournaments with a specified number of wrestlers in each division qualifying for the all-division Masters Tournament the following weekend. The CIF wrestling divisions are based on enrollment rather than competitive balance, and Fallbrook High School is in Division II. This year Fallbrook placed third among Division II teams while 10 individuals placed high enough to advance to the Masters Tournament. “The divisional tournament went very well for us. I’m very happy with...
Controversy surrounded a quarterfinal match involving the Fallbrook Girls Rugby Club's U18 7s team and South Bay High School Spartans Friday, Feb. 28, at the first-ever Los Angeles Invitations 7s tournament in Irvine. The Warriors were playing their fourth game of the day in the High School Girls Open Division and lined up to play against South Bay's Open Team. Instead, South Bay trotted out several, if not all of their High School Elite Division players for the game, which...
