A Fallbrook High School tennis match was played on the campus for the first time this century, and the Warriors defeated Tri-City Christian in the March 4 competition. The match was also the first combined boys’ and girls’ tennis match in school history. The coronavirus shutdown compressed the three normal CIF seasons into two for 2020-2021, and boys’ and girls’ tennis were combined including mixed doubles sets for the first time in San Diego Section history. “It went smoothly other than the fact that it got dark,” Fallbrook...
WASHINGTON – Rep. Darrell Issa, CA-50, released the following statement March 3, in opposition to House Resolution 1: "States made sweeping changes to election practices leading up to Election Day 2020, even circumventing state legislatures in favor of executive decrees and court-ordered variations. There is no dispute some of these changes were done in violation of state constitutions and state law. "Mistrust of election integrity is at an all-time high. Rather than t...

Three downtown Fallbrook businesses were met with an unwelcome surprise one Friday morning a few weeks ago – a burst pipe left all three with varying amounts of flood damage. Jamie Mathieu, owner of Jewelry Connection at 101 N. Main Ave, said he arrived at the store the morning of Friday, Feb. 26, to find quite the commotion. "We came in and we noticed a bunch of debris in the parking lot," he said. Mathieu noticed a Fallbrook Public Utility District crew was in the area, a...
Bonsall Unified School District Superintendent David Jones has announced that he will be leaving the school district at the end of the school year. Jones initially notified the BUSD board at the Feb. 10 board meeting, and additional remarks about approaching the end of his BUSD career were made at the March 10 board meeting. Jones has been hired elsewhere, although that entity will not be disclosed until a contract is finalized. "It just means a lot to me that the staff and the board have been supportive of my decision,"...
Guest house has a new name: Accessory Dwelling Unit. I don’t know if this new name has anything to do with the “woke” community or if it was a broader term created to define more uses, but either way, the ADU is a great way to add value to your property and perhaps more harmony to your extended family. California’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Law, Assembly Bill 68, took effect on Jan. 1, 2020. Under this law, homeowners can add an accessory dwelling unit to their property – even... Full story
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has urged New Yorkers to "wait for the facts." Patience, though, has grown thin. The state's two U.S. senators, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, and most of the 27 other members of New York's congressional delegation have called for his resignation. In the state legislature, more than 120 lawmakers have called on the Democrat to quit. Leaders in the state Assembly Thursday, March 11, announced an impeachment investigation, a f...
In 2013, the North County Conference changed from dual cross-country meets to league cluster meets in which all of the league’s schools participate, but the coronavirus precautions returned this season’s meets to the dual meet format to limit the number of people at one meet. Fallbrook High School had two home meets for the 2020-2021 cross-country season, so the March 5 meet was the final meet at home for seniors Danny Contreras and Jacob Crain. The seniors were not honored before the race, which was the case because spe...
The Biden administration is turning to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for help managing and caring for record numbers of unaccompanied immigrant children who are streaming into the United States by illegally crossing the border with Mexico. FEMA will support a governmentwide effort over the next three months to safely receive, shelter and transfer minor children who arrive alone at the U.S. southwest border, without a parent or other adult, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Saturday, March 13. Gover...
Swiss authorities Monday, March 15, confirmed a police raid at the home of a Swiss hacker who took credit for helping to break into a U.S. security-camera company’s online networks, part of what the hacker cited as an effort to raise awareness about the dangers of mass surveillance. The Federal Office of Justice said regional police in central Lucerne, acting on a legal assistance request from U.S. authorities, Friday, March 12, carried out a house search involving a group of activist hackers using the name Tillie Kottmann. T...
Consider the possibility that science is a process of questions and answers. Not all answers are correct and not all questions are valid. Yet all need to be considered and evaluated separately and carefully. Within that context we broach the subject of this COVID-19 debacle that stands in our way to a free and productive life. The draconian measures undertaken have had profound and lasting impressions on the American psyche that will not be washed away any time soon. But we wish to explore the unscientific labors of a few...
I have great news for North County. Starting Saturday, March 20, North County unincorporated residents will have a new location to dispose of household hazardous waste and old electronics, for free. San Diego Environment Health has reserved 30 appointments on two Saturdays a month, strictly for those in the unincorporated area. Appointments must be made, by going to http://www.sdhhw.org or by calling 877-713-2784. The location will be at the Escondido Household Hazardous...
AFS has been a leader in the field of student exchange for more than 60 years. Each year we like to place one or more students in Fallbrook who will attend Fallbrook High. We are receiving applications now for students who will be arriving in mid-August for the either fall semester or for the next school year. We have some outstanding candidates with varied interests and many countries of origin. I would like to talk to any families that might be interested in hosting. We are also interested in talking to high school...
While it is not my desire to argue with Mr. Terrell in print, it is clear to me that it would be a fulfilment to assist him in "seeing the light" i.e., evidence of voter fraud, although I fear it would be futile. I noticed you said you skip right by the things you already know. Interesting. Do you know what Fox News and Newsmax are talking about or is that what you are skipping? I do try to listen to the other side but realize in short order that the thoughts are so biased and hypocritical, i.e. Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow....
Thank you, Julie Reeder, for being a reasonable and sane voice in what is quickly becoming an unreasonable and insane world. It’s unbelievable how twisted things have become. True fact-based journalism has been replaced with fictional writing – anything to get published, the more controversial and ridiculous the better. The small town of Fallbrook is lucky to have the Village News, a large-minded newspaper that is not afraid to report the truth. Carolyn Mathes...
Ms. Young, there is so much mischaracterization and misrepresentation there it would take far too much time to respond to each accusation. I can tell you that I don't fear any of those things and it's too bad that your preconceived ideas about what the "others" (whoever you think that is) has been so grotesquely misconstrued by whoever you are listening to. But, I do believe in your right to voice your opinion and I thank you for reading mine as well. My guess is that we agree on vastly more than what it appears from your...
As co-chair of the Assembly Rare Disease caucus, I recognize the struggle of patients and their families living with rare diseases. Among these are almost 7,000 diseases and conditions considered rare, with 80% of those considered ultra rare. By definition, a disease is considered rare when it affects fewer than 200,000 people. Since only a relatively small number of people are involved, treatments for these diseases can be limited, have sky-high costs or are completely...
Dear Ms. Reeder, I read your editorial of March 4, but did not respond as you might have wished. I “fear” that you have become ensnared in an increasingly small information trap. You seem to find great credibility in the words of self-proclaimed experts who enjoy the maverick attention they garner from using their professional titles to disseminate opinions that set them apart from their more respected professional colleagues. This perspective comes from limiting your information sources chiefly to those that fit your own...
Normally the allocation of Community Enhancement funding is part of the County of San Diego's annual budget process. Due to the delay in the passage of the 2020-21 budget a Community Enhancement allocation for each supervisorial district was included in the budget, but the actual grant awards were separated from the budget approval. Supervisor Jim Desmond recommended his Community Enhancement grants for docketing at the March 2 San Diego County Board of Supervisors meeting, and a 5-0 vote approved the allocation of $1,146,388...
San Diego County will be issuing a contract for preventative maintenance on 14 bridges including two Camino Del Rey bridges. The county Board of Supervisors voted 5-0, Wednesday, March 3, to authorize the advertisement for bid and subsequent award of a preventative maintenance contract. The bridges are eligible for Highway Bridge Program funding provided by the Federal Highway Administration, and the supervisors’ action also appropriated $2,655,900 of that federal funding for the maintenance work. Because the maintenance o...
San Diego County officials discussed Monday, March 8, the debut of a new county program designed to help people experiencing mental health or substance use crises by dispatching behavioral health experts to emergency calls instead of law enforcement when appropriate. Board of Supervisors Chair Nathan Fletcher, county district attorney Summer Stephan, county behavioral health officials and representatives from Exodus Recovery Inc. held a socially distanced event outside the County Administration Center to share information...

"It's a tremendous hire," Pat Walker, athletic director at Fallbrook High School, said. "He is something special."
