Fallbrook Union Elementary School District (FUESD) released their 2006-2007 California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) report last week.

Barry Krumwiede is in charge of his Neighborhood Watch and has spent many sleepless nights worried about the kids speeding up and down the three-mile stretch of Rainbow Glen Road. “These kids are between 8 and16 years old and they are driving these unlicensed ATVs and dirt bikes on this street – sometimes without their helmets on,” said Krumwiede. Krumwiede has lived in the neighborhood for the past 11 years and claims that the problem is growing worse. As off-road vehicles are legally forbidden on public streets and highw... Full story
Although the Fallbrook Community Planning Group (FCPG) denied the current design of the Passerelle development, the vote was 9-5 on August 20. Members of the planning group unanimously agreed on their dislike of the development’s current ideas for a project to be located north of SR-76 and east of I-15, but a handful of members, such as Eileen Delaney and Anne Burdick, slightly disagreed in how Harry Christiansen had authored his three-page denial. Delaney believed the denial was too broad and the developer required more spec... Full story

We always like to shop Fallbrook first and just received remarkable service provided by owner Mark Frederick and his son Christopher from Fallbrook Overhead Doors, the “Garage Door Experts.” Not only did they come out when scheduled – important because our garage door failed to open after five years of operation – the two men knew what the problem was. Turns out they are experts, just as advertised, in the Windsor doors installed in both the Peppertree and Poets Square homes. They not only replaced the broken spring in our...

All the women in Iraq thank God for President Bush for giving them simple civil rights like going to school, getting jobs and going shopping anytime they want. Why are all the Democrats against giving Iraqi women civil rights? The Democrats don’t want people to know all the good President Bush is doing in Iraq. Are they controlling the media? John S. Cardona...

What makes Robert E. Green think that his opinions are the only truth and anyone who has a different point of view is automatically wrong? That self-righteousness is dangerous! In the 16th and 17th centuries, if the self-righteous had the power, they executed the “heretics” whose only crime was to see things differently. There is a problem today in that Islamic Fundamentalists believe that non-Muslims (nonbelievers) should be eliminated. Recognizing that the great majority of the followers of Islam live in peace and har... Full story
In a letter to the Village News, Archie McPhee of Fallbrook was lavish in his praise of General Patton (WWII). I have no argument with the premise that Gen. Patton was a good general – though I’m not sure I agree with the assertion that he was the best ever! Where I find specific disagreement with Mr. McPhee, however, was in his glowing accolade that “General Patton ran General Rommel and the Axis forces out of Africa.” I’m sure that General Patton himself would join me in correcting this erroneous assumption. In actual fact,...
