Joe Naiman Village News Reporter The first-ever Bonsall High School baseball game was played March 1 at the Pala Sports Complex. Although Bayfront Charter won that contest by a 21-2 score, the fact that Bonsall has started the Legionnaires' baseball program is more important to coach Danny Mencias – and to the rest of the team – than who won the first game. "I think it's a victory already that we just got a team together, " Mencias said. "We were happy to score two runs." Bonsall was held hitless until the sixth inning whe...

Roger Boddaert Special to the Village News The first Arbor Day celebration began in Nebraska on April 20, 1872. On that day, one million trees were planted throughout Nebraska. Prizes were offered to those counties that planted the most trees on that day. It all began with J. Sterling Morton, an early settler to the Nebraska territory, who purchased barren prairie land to settle with his family. At that time, the prairie had few trees and without them, the settlers lacked...

Rick Monroe Special to the Village News Thinking of selling your house? Realtor Elisabeth Lentulo of Broadpoint Properties suggests doing it now. "I really don't think this big jump in prices can continue," she said in a recent interview. "Real estate is cyclical and with inflation, I don't see there being as many people who can afford to buy." And though prices in Fallbrook have indeed shot up at an insane rate, she said, "prices here are pretty affordable compared to some...

Elizabeth Aguilera CalMatters Gov. Gavin Newsom is easing mask restrictions and declaring that the pandemic is moving into a less critical phase. Yet an aggressive slate of COVID-19-related bills – to mandate vaccines for children and workers, to allow 12 to 17 year-olds to get the vaccine without parental consent and more – remain in play under the Capitol dome. The vaccine working group of Democratic legislators behind the proposals say their aim is to increase vaccination r...
