The festival’s celebration of F...
I am encouraged to read the Opinions section of the Village News where Fallbrook citizens discuss issues related to crime and public safety in Fallbrook. As any good law enforcement professional will tell you, community involvement and awareness leads to lower crime rates.

It took over 200 deputies, officers, and agents to protect your property, and even then we could not stop every...

Bush has just outlined that he would like $70 billion dollars for the war next year and signed a contract to give global food aid in the amount of $770 million due to higher food prices, mostly to Africa. Bush, with the aid of the Federal Reserve, is breaking our American dollar, our economy, and our backs. The Federal Reserve continues to print up money that does not exist and the American people get to pay the interest on this money that the government borrowed. The Federal Reserve is not “federal” at all, but a pri...
