I and many others within our Rainbow/Fallbrook/Bonsall communities comprise the North San Diego County Chapter of the 2016 Committee (formerly the Run Ben Run Committee). We want to deliver the November 2016 presidential election victory to Dr. Ben Carson. Those who follow Republican politics knew even before Dr. Carson announced his candidacy on May 4 that his greatest challenge would be from within the very party he represents – the long-entrenched Republican National Committee Establishment. The foremost challenge to B... Full story
I hesitated addressing Mr. Campbell's opinion of what he referred to as "noise pollution" but, now that another has expressed their opinion agreeing with his "intelligent comments", I feel it would be a disservice to our military to let it go unanswered. The noise pollution you both referred to is what I and so many others call "the sound of freedom." Camp Pendleton, first established as a training facility for the military in 1942 during WWII, became a permanent installation in 1944 covering over 125,000 acres. You could... Full story
I read with interest two notes in the opinion section of the last two issues of the Village News. I have lived in Fallbrook since the mid-1940's and have learned to "listen" to the sound of helicopters, heavy artillery, all of the sounds that are generated from Camp Pendleton. Frankly it was quite comforting to know that all these young men and women were on duty 24/7. They became part of our community by interjecting themselves into our lives – in our churches, schools, grocery stores, etc. My Father used to say, "The s... Full story
I think Mr. Campbell should buy a new residence elsewhere, where there is no helicopter noise. However, on the other hand, and better yet to avoid wars, why don't we ask the President to call the Ayatollah Khamenei and Russian President Putin and throw in the white flag. We should just give up our way of life and have those two guys come and run our country. No war, no armed forces, just peace. We will have to learn Farsi and Russian and then everything will be fine and dandy. Like Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson) in the... Full story
AD - 75 (R) Since seawater desalination is important to Southern California, I was pleased to participate in a tour of Carlsbad's Poseidon plant, along with legislators from throughout the state.

The county's Traffic Advisory Committee (TAC) recommended that the 40 mph speed limit on Pepper Tree Lane and Calavo Road between McDonald Road and Stage Coach Lane be retained. In order for a speed limit to be enforced by radar, a speed survey must show that the speed limit is within an adjacent 5 mph increment to the 85th percentile speed. The speed limit may be rounded either up or down from the 85th percentile speed. A June 17 speed survey indicated an 85th percentile speed of 37 mph, and the TAC's unanimous...
