Homecoming Queen and King for fall of '61, class of '62 My Life……..then and now Rita Robinson Pankey Special to the Village News I came to Fallbrook in the summer of ‘57, from Washington DC in a 28’ travel trailer. My Dad, a Navy officer with 30 years service, had just retired. My folks had always planned to come back near San Diego. They thought Fallbrook was the perfect town. For three months we lived in a mobile park (it was where Albertson’s parking lot is now! ) until t...

Michele Howard Special to the Village News I'm not sure why, but my brain works overtime when thinking of new ideas for a tantalizing dish to create. For a week, I kept thinking of the black rice I bought and what I could make with it. It looks exotic, and has a great nutty flavor. I questioned myself over and over about what flavor do I want, Mexican, Indian, Italian? So I went with a Thai curry sauce. I believe if I substitute green enchilada sauce for the curry sauce and...

I am shocked to see many residents of our town speeding down our streets ever morning on their way to work. It’s amazing they even make it to work. Don’t they respect anything or anybody. I learned a long time ago that crime, including breaking the law, does not pay. I prefer to obey the speed limit, drive carefully and keep myself and others alive. Lorie Kuhn... Full story
Fellow Fallbrook Public Utility District customers, hopefully you have read the eight page FPUD rate proposal letter by now. Their letter indicates that by the beginning of 2022 our water bills will be at least 50 percent higher than current rates. At the end of the eighth page of their letter, it is stated that unless a majority of all rate payers submit a written letter of protest “the Board of Directors will be authorized to impose the rate increases.” This implies that the public hearing scheduled for Nov. 15, 2017 wil...

Rich M. Groff II Special to Village News After a lifetime of accumulating money, it’s common for retirees to start thinking about their legacy and what they want to leave to their children, grandchildren or a favorite charitable cause. But despite the dollar signs they see on investment and bank accounts, there’s no guarantee loved ones or a chosen charity will get the full amount. Uncle Sam is lurking to snatch a sizable share. It’s important to plan carefully to make sure that as much of the money as possible goes to the p... Full story
