Apparently Lee Racey forgot to read his letter (September 27) before submitting it. Specifically, the President of the United States is not the head of the Democratic Party: Antonio Villaraigosa is. Neither President Obama nor Villaraigosa is a socialist, but both are progressive (which I prefer) rather than being regressive. Racey opines that Greg Millard should do some research to avoid becoming a “dupe.” Racey should have taken his own advice and do some research before labeling President Obama a socialist. Earlier, Rick P...
After 13+ years in historic downtown Fallbrook, we are closing our doors. We have enjoyed the opportunity to have been a part of the heartbeat of Fallbrook.

Although the store will be closing, we will remain a part of the Fallbrook community just as we have for the past 35 years. We hope our paths will cross again perhaps in the grocery store, a restaurant, doctor’s office, or some other p...

I’d like to make a correction to an article I previously submitted to the Village News regarding the film showing of the North County Film Club. I mistakenly wrote that the club would be showing the Oscar-nominated Animated Short Subject films. These will actually be shown on Nov. 4. The film being shown on Oct. 7 is the Iranian film “A Separation,” the Oscar-winning best foreign film of 2011. I urge everyone who loves independent and foreign films to come to the Ultra Star Cinema in Oceanside to see this award-winning film.... Full story
