  • Hospital decision a difficult one

    Updated Oct 16, 2014

    Words cannot begin to describe the level of anguish that has gone into trying to find a suitable solution for Fallbrook Hospital.

  • Re: "Romney in 2016" [Letter, Village News, 10/03/2014]

    Updated Oct 16, 2014

    In response to Romney in 2016, and as a member of Romney’s defined 47 percent, his candidacy is what we do not need, e.g., more plant closures for profit (Bain Capital) and outsourcing, and disdain for middle- and lower-class Americans. In the last election, the American public already made the wise decision to not elect Romney. Integrity and ethics you say? President Obama has been open about his feelings, beliefs, and values; that is integrity and ethics. He is transparent about his operating, humanistic, and i... Full story
