Today, I was reminded once again what a Fallbrook jewel Joe's Hardware is! So many times, the expert folks there have found us just the right part or product for our needs; and given us the best advice. This time, my pump sprayer broke, and if I’d gone to a big box store, I would’ve ended up buying a new one for $125. But the Joe’s employee found just the right bolt to fix mine. But I bought the wrong length, and when I went back, he remembered me, which bolt I’d bought and went right to the bin to get me the correct one. My...
Chief Abbot, I’d like to express my deepest gratitude for the kindness, professionalism and medical skill of paramedic Montana and his entire EMT team from Station Four. They promptly came to our house on Friday evening, June 2, to transport me to the hospital for severe dehydration. My husband and I were, of course, distraught, and the care and reassurance the paramedics showed was so very comforting. I’m sure our area appreciates what an excellent, dedicated emergency team we have in Station Four, as well as in the oth... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 (R) As the mother of a high school student, education has always been one of my top concerns.

In this region, Palomar College’s GEAR UP program served 6,877 students in six high schools in 2016, including Escondido, and San Marcos. The program... Full story
Larry Light Special to the Village News On a day in November 2008, three automotive-industry CEOs flew from Detroit to Washington, D.C. on a mission they insisted was crucial to their companies’ survival. They sought a federal bailout to help prop up their struggling businesses. But to the American public and some members of Congress, the CEOs’ lament that they were hard up for cash rang hollow because of their chosen mode of travel in luxurious private jets. Their arrogant attitude left people with bad perceptions of the...
Mayur Ramgir Special to the Village News We’ve all heard the expression “innovate or die.” But there are endless examples of companies that made cutting-edge ideas a priority, yet their can’t-miss products and sometimes the businesses themselves died untimely deaths anyway. People often don’t realize that a product can be smart and work well and still fail when it hits the marketplace. Don’t get me wrong. Businesses that encourage employees to innovate have the right idea, but they can’t assume their breakthroughs... Full story

FALLBROOK – City dwellers and suburbanites have flown the coop, so to speak. A growing interest in raising chickens has enabled coops and nesting birds to spring up in neighborhoods one would not typically associate with chickens. Sometimes dubbed “urban homesteading” or “urban farming,” these homegrown operations enable people to enjoy fresh eggs from the comfort of home. Henhouses are just another extension of methods to reap the benefits of fresh, local and nonfactor...
Nathaniel Sillin Special to Village News Whether it’s a matter of comfort, appearance or safety, there are many medical procedures that you may want or need but your health insurance won’t cover. Laser eye surgery may fall into the want category for most people, and it can be a hefty investment with treatment for each eye costing several thousand dollars. For those wanting to start a family, infertility treatments, which can cost over $10,000, may be closer to a need. Yet most states don’t require health insurance to cover... Full story
