For expectant mothers, the journey to motherhood is an exciting time, especially when they begin the process of preparing for their new child. However, when the pregnancy is unexpected, or the mother faces financial difficulty, she may face many stresses and uncertainties because she does not know if she will have sufficient support through the parenting process. For Fallbrook area mothers who need that additional support, the Fallbrook Pregnancy Resource Center (FPRC) has...
SAN DIEGO COUNTY - The San Diego County Sheriff's Dept. and North County Fire Protection District are advising people to be aware of an item that may appear to be a 'bottle bomb.'

I'd like to thank the kind gentleman who came to my aid when my car was broadsided in an accident in Fallbrook on the rainy morning of March 6. When a person is frightened, injured, and trapped in a car, one wants a reassuring, competent individual there administering calming words. That is exactly what this Good Samaritan did. I did not get his name before the paramedics arrived on the scene, but if he sees this letter of thanks, he will know how much he was appreciated. Carol Zaleski... Full story
I am writing to express my gratitude to your publication as I was able to find a truly outstanding pet sitter in the classified section of your newspaper. Last month I attended a wedding at the Grand Tradition and needed to find a pet sitter to care for my beloved Maltese, Harvey. Your classified section enabled me to locate a fantastic and caring pet sitter named Paulette, who offers pet sitting services in her home and advertises in the classified section of the Village News. The moment I met Paulette and visited her home...
It is not too surprising that the owner of Fallbrook Golf Course has closed it down. He must have looked at the books and seen a losing enterprise when he bought it, but saw the value of the real estate. As a 37-year teacher of US Government and a frequent visitor and prospective home buyer in Fallbrook, I have seen one weakness in the town, it should have incorporated years ago. That would not be in the interest of some. You would have local control instead of being the stepchild of county government. It may soon become too...
For 20-plus years I have paid Rainbow Municipal Water District a standby fee for a locked water meter of $17, relying on my well water. Now, without prior notice, they raised the monthly fee to $ 87.79. I have been told all water users with unlocked meters pay this monthly $87.79 fee plus their water usage each month. Is there not a separate fee to those on sewage service also? This older property also uses only a private pump system. I just don't believe these have equal overhead costs. How many water meters are there in...
