My husband and I moved to Fallbrook from Virginia one and a half years ago. We have found this village to be breathtakingly beautiful. Every day we comment to each other how grateful we are to live in this lovely town. We have made many friends who have been so welcoming. After less than a year we felt that we truly were home. What we don’t understand is why one of our town’s inhabitants says so many negative things, in the Village News, about people that don’t agree with her politics. On June 18, in the Opinions secti...

Life has not been easy for everyone lately. COVID-19, elections, crime – you name it – it hasn’t been pleasant. Yet I see two things out there: people who are kind and caring, willing to go over and above to help others, kind and encouraging words, helpful hands, and then, there is Diana Miller. Why she feels the need to write her opinions every single week makes me wonder. One, how many subjects can she address that we all don’t share. Two, why? Does she not have a life or friends or even a cat? I want her to have a nice li... Full story
At the beginning of this pandemic, public health officials told us the goal.

The 4th of July, also known as Independence Day, was first declared a federal holiday by the U.S. C... Full story
