The North County Fire Protection District board of directors agreed to fund the Station Five construction project at their May 25 board meeting. The new structure will be located very close to the intersection of State Route 76 and Olive Hill Road in Bonsall. At the meeting, the board agreed to approve the funding option for the construction of Station Five by using 50 percent of the District’s facility reserve funds and the remainder from a loan. The approval freed 50 percent of the funds in reserves to be spent in the 2...
Estrella’s Family Restaurant had a packed parking lot and a line out the door on Saturday, May 29 as Bonsall and Fallbrook patrons came to say goodbye to one of their favorite restaurants. Estrella’s, which has been located in a commercial center at the intersection of Olive Hill Road /Camino Del Rey and SR76 since 2002, has been forced to close under eminent domain. Eminent domain is an action the state can take to seize private property with monetary compensation, but wit...

SAN DIEGO COUNTY – Beginning Memorial Day, San Diego County law enforcement agencies began working on a crackdown on seatbelt violations called Click It or Ticket. Failure to “buckle up” comes with a heftier fine this year and officers say warnings will not be issued, tickets will be. Fines for first-time adult violators have risen from $132 to $142 this year, and the fine for not securing children under 16 in a car seat or seat belt is $445. “We will be looking for motorists throughout the area who are not buckl...
Julie Reeder Summer of fun in the Village This weekend, with the help of the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce, the Village News is going to be hosting the second in a series of music events meant for all ages. The focus this time is Reggae music. Six bands will be playing while people enjoy Kettle Corn, funnel cake, barbecued ribs, tri tip, hamburgers, hotdogs, homemade ice cream, and more.

The staff at Mary Fay Pendleton School would like to thank the California Retired Teachers Association, Div. 81, for the special pens and candy on Teacher Appreciation Day. It is so nice to be remembered! We would also like to publicly thank our wonderful PTA and parents for making Teacher/Classified Appreciation Day into a whole week! We were fed breakfast one day, lunch two days, snacks another day, and a dessert bar, as well as having fun gifts and poems in our boxes everyday. Mary Fay Pendleton PTA rocks! Marlene Cecil...
Sean Hannity’s book ‘Conservative Victory,’ page 65, states that the Democrats most shameless power grab is contained in the Senate health care bill. Senate majority leader Harry Reid inserted an amendment into this bill to make the bills proposed Independent Medicare Advisor Board (IMAB) unrepealable. This “amendment would change certain Senate rules to prohibit future Congresses from repealing the IMAB (which some refer to as a death panel) […] Obama’s Senate is trying to make their provision for death panels unrepealabl...

The girls finished number two in the nation and the boys finished number five in the nation! This is the first time...
The judicial candidates who recently appeared at a nonpartisan “Meet your Candidates” forum to field questions before over 120 citizens were quite refreshing. It was the first time in memory that judicial candidates have taken the time and the effort to face the voters whose vote they seek. It has been difficult to choose between judicial candidates in the past because of the scant amount of information available and the nearly non-existent appearances. Judicial candidates Trask, Coleman, Kincaid and Candelore support our... Full story
The USMC’s treatment of Sgt. Larry Hutchins isn’t endearing them to the American people. Sergeant Hutchins was, and still is, a good Marine. His original conviction was overturned and he was reinstated from Private to the rank of Sergeant. The USMC has been keeping him in solitary at Camp Pendleton and, when people go to visit him, he is in handcuffs and behind glass. This conduct on the part of the Marine Corps is criminal and is absolutely forbidden in civilian prisons. All the rest of the Pendleton 8 is out of the mil...

Our family spent a most enjoyable day at the Fallbrook Garden Tour, held by the Fallbrook Garden Club recently. All the gardens were magnificent. The selection of the gardens was well planned with a unique design and theme for each garden. We particularly enjoyed having artists and musicians showcasing their arts at the homes. We had recently visited garden tours in Malibu and Venice and the Fallbrook tour was by far the best. Keep up the good work! Selina Cheng Malibu...
I am planning to move my extended family to Mexico, and I would like you to assist me. We’re planning to walk across the border into Mexico, and we’ll need your help. We plan to skip the legal stuff, like visas, passports, and immigration quotas and laws. I am sure they handle those things the same way we do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I am leaving now? I will be expecting the following: free medical care for my entire family; English-speaking government bureaucrats for all ser...
I watched CNN the other day and saw an interview of an ex-Secretary of State regarding Arizona’s new stand on immigration. Neither the interviewer, nor the ex-Secretary of State once mentioned the word “illegal” when talking of immigrants. What is it with some people that they have difficulty calling a spade, a spade? My solution to the immigration problem is as follows: Notify all illegal aliens through the TV or the media that all “illegals” in this country must notify the US government of their location and status im...
Yet if you go today to Mexico without a passport, you go to jail. If you go to Mexico a second time, no passport, he puts you in jail for 10 years. Just think if America had done that years ago, there would be no one illegal in America today. We are now stuck with 12 million illegals, so many on welfare and our medical clinics are overloaded with illegals that cost the American tax payers over 400 billion dollars per year. That could be a low figure. This government will never tell us the truth of how much it really cost the...
I see the Bill Horn “spin doctors” are working overtime in the press. It’s usual for Horn to have his staff write letters to local papers saying how great he is. How you can tell is because it sounds like a talking points memo written by his spokesman. Remember reading articles about Horn’s illegal alien employee situation? Remember his minor real estate issue and allegations of an affair with his chief of staff? Remember stories of Hornville and his reportedly “shady” dealings to get things approved? Remember the 1997 fires?...
District 5 has an opportunity to elect a new County Supervisor on June 8. Please, elect Steve Gronke. He has experience as a Vista councilman and on the San Diego Association of Government’s planning board. Steve wants to stop the slush fund; it’s not good use of your tax dollars. He supports term limits for County Supervisors. Steve will continue the fight against dense urban developments in rural and agricultural areas. Haven’t you had enough of Horn? I feel Horn would rather use our diminishing water supply to build house... Full story
