FALLBROOK – Wayne and Ann Yonce, otherwise known as “Mr. & Mrs. Buick” to vintage car aficionados, are the second oldest active members of the Fallbrook Vintage Car Club, having joined it in 1980. They first learned of Fallbrook when, in 1976, their newly-restored 1938 Buick Special convertible won its national first place award at the only AACA National meet ever to be held in this town. Impressed with the area, they purchased a four-acre parcel of raw, brush land on...

The article (Village News, 4/3/14) about the signage struck a nerve. This affects all of the businesses and organizations in town. We need to take a look at the big picture and not get caught up in the details. Look at the complexity, time, and cost of the process of applying for a permit to hang a sign or banner. Three committees, boards, and bureaucracies are involved in the approval process. There’s talk of forming another committee to fill out the paperwork to satisfy all of these bureaucracies. There are efforts being m... Full story
After delivering 15 mail routes in Fallbrook and Bonsall throughout 2001, I knew there was no other place in North County I would rather live. While working, I encountered a vast array of scenery – beautiful groves, horse ranches and quaint, small town community settings. Being accustomed to smaller towns, Bonsall seemed perfect – and became home in late 2002. My deck overlooks the San Luis Rey Downs horse training grounds and SLRD golf course – as well as many groves. The entire town of Bonsall evolved...
When Fallbrook resident Rose Nell Heard read in a recent issue of the Village News that Cleo Justus had celebrated her 100th birthday, she drafted the following letter to former President Bill Clinton: “In our current edition of the Fallbrook Village News, there was an article about the birthdays of two residents of the Fallbrook Skilled Nursing Facility that were celebrating their 100th birthday. What was of interest to me was a statement from one of the ladies, Cleo Justus, who mentions that she worked under the supervision...
The same destructive process that has been driving businesses out of California in record numbers is at work here in our town. It began with the formation of our so-called Planning Group and their committee, known as the Design Review Committee (DRC). Once created, they began looking for something or someone to restrict, control, regulate, ban or punish. A campaign of threats and intimidation was soon launched against our business community with storefronts. They have also been getting help from a local resident who patrols o...
On March 26 this year, I had knee replacement surgery performed at Fallbrook Hospital by Dr. Brooks of the Fallbrook Temecula Valley Orthopedic Associates group. As expected, the operation was a success and the treatment provided by the hospital and surgical staffs was superb. From the admitting nurse, Rebecca; prep nurse, Danielle; nurse anesthetist, Carol; ward nurses, Leslie and Nosa; and physical therapists, all making regular hourly “roundings”; attention could not have more complete. I do apologize for the names of the...

Fallbrook High School’s girls swim team opened Avocado West League competition April 3 with a 111-54 home win over Rancho Buena Vista. “We were confident going into the meet, and I think it showed,” said Fallbrook coach Sean Redmond. Placing swimmers in events other than their usual races has several advantages; it provides additional options for the CIF meet should a CIF qualifying time be achieved, and competing in “off-events” also allows a break from routines. Redmond took advantage of the expected victory over the Longho...

In addition to the fruit they produce, they have beautiful bell-shaped blooms in spring, handsome glossy foliage in t... Full story
