I love elderly people who love children. It is always a pleasure to be running errands and see a smile of admiration from one who has experienced many years of life to one who has just entered life. I admire the elderly’s wisdom, depth, passion and soul that can only be attained by time. I take pride in my role of raising well-mannered children. Without we parents teaching them, children do not know how to act in public. We all have shared in the experience of both our own children and others’ children misbehaving in pub...
I am responding to a letter written by Sheila Walson and published in the Village News on March 10. This will probably be my last response to such a distasteful, lie-filled article uncharacteristic of the community we pride ourselves in Fallbrook. I say this because it is impossible to continually respond to a person who is not restricted by the facts and the truth. First of all, the County Counsel’s Office has ruled that I have no conflict of interest by being elected to serve on the Rainbow Water District Board and the F...
Yesterday, an elderly pedestrian was hit by a car and flew off its windshield while attempting to cross South Mission at Fig Street. Unfortunately, I was not surprised by this tragedy because I know firsthand the difficulty of crossing South Mission. But I would rather cross at Mission & Fig than a block south at Mission & Elder where the elementary school crossing is because there you can’t see the southbound cars coming until they’re already flying down the hill at you. “The Friendly Village” is not so friendly for pedestr...

On behalf of the Fallbrook Land Conservancy, we would like to thank Fallbrook and Bonsall residents for their enthusiastic support of our first membership drive. We thank Major Market, Daniel’s Market and the Village Square for permitting us to set up our membership tables on their properties. We also thank Ron & Ann Simpson for the design and creation of our new FLC logo; Tom McDougall, owner of Herb Fresh, for his donation of rosemary plants; Jackie Heyneman of Save Our Forests for the donation of California Holly (...
With the troubling financial situation in California and the recent passage of Proposition 1A, the Fallbrook Healthcare District has reviewed its Grant Policy to ensure it is consistent with potential audit queries. While the district has been committed to prudent stewardship of district assets and providing support for unmet healthcare needs in the community, the current board majority took office amidst a call for greater prudence in expending public funds. Already, the new board has followed through on promised austerity...
After reading this article I feel compelled to say that the bus driver and the aide on this bus were “heroes.” I’m a military member, a mother with a son, now 16 years old, autistic-like, and he did have seizures when he was young. We stressed and support the critical need for more involvement to ensure aides are provided on special education bus transportation to be available to support the drivers — here is an excellent example that their presences are vital to both the children as well as the drivers. More funding across...
Unless you collectively unite in opposition to the planned development at SR 76 & I-15, your lives will be forever changed in a negative way. This so-called “Transportation Node,” or cancer node as I call it, is a naked power grab by the County Board of Supervisors and outside developers for their benefit and our detriment. Go to Temecula at 3:30 p.m. on any day and try to exit I-15 in either direction to experience the future of Fallbrook should they prevail. Who pays for the new schools? You will, through higher taxes. New...
I am a parishioner at St. Peter’s Catholic Church. We have had a wonderful visiting priest with us for the past six months. His name is Fr. Ian Taylor. When he celebrated mass, “did not our hearts burn within us?” The Gospel and our beautiful Catholic faith infused us with the joy of our salvation through Jesus Christ. Last week in our church bulletin we were informed that Fr. Ian is leaving the parish. Fr. Bud thanked him for his time here and affirmed that “Fr. Taylor is a good and holy priest.” In a phone conversat...
There are so many charities competing for our donations and there is no information on where that money goes. How much of the donated money actually goes to salaries and benefits for the managers? I wanted to do something for our local Marines but I wanted to be sure that the money went directly to them, so I decided to buy them haircuts. Since last December I have been buying haircuts for our local servicemen at Ed’s Barber Shop at Main and Beech. I give Ed $6 for each serviceman, which includes a $1 tip. So far, I have paid...

In response to the opinion of Assemblyman Ray Haynes’ article of March 10, “Let’s kill all the old people,” we have signed the “California Declaration” and recorded it with our health providers. The paper states the following: “California Declaration: If I should have an incurable and irreversible condition that has been diagnosed by two physicians and that will result in my death within a relatively short time without the administration of life-sustaining treatment or has produced an irreversible coma or persistent ve...

Ms. Brazier writes that concerned citizens must attend years of Rainbow meetings to understand the problems of the district. Not true; archived public records contain information that may change Ms. Brazier’s perspective of past Rainbow management. I suggest she begin by researching the results of the 2002 directors’ expense audit by the general manager. I find it interesting that after all this time the actual cost of water escapes Ms. Brazier. There are two components contributing to the cost of water consumed by Rai...

Peter Kunasz seems to be having an argument with himself. He has invented statements I supposedly made and wasted a lot of time and energy responding to things I never said. Mr. Kunasz, you have used a deceptive and dishonest argument. You set up a false premise, complete with a twisted version of my words, and then shot it down. Good try, but it won’t work. Anyone who reads the paper can read what I really said, and your saying otherwise doesn’t make it so. I did not say that only those who attended long-ago meetings kno...
FALLBROOK — Mary Jane Pfeil, longtime member of the Fallbrook Woman’s Club, was recognized for her years of service and devotion to the club in a special presentation during the club’s recent meeting “Honoring Our Own.” A member since 1981, Mary Jane has served in nearly every capacity the club offers. She was past president, recipient of the Woman of the Year award, a member of Stars (a district organization honoring presidents and past presidents), first vice president, parliamentarian and chairwoman of numerous committee...
