  • New economic forecast is both upbeat and cautionary

    Victoria Pike Bond, Special to Village News|Updated Oct 22, 2020

    The United States economy is bouncing back rapidly from the severe and unprecedented pandemic-driven downturn that began early this year, according to a new economic forecast released Oct. 13 at the 11th annual Inland Empire Economic Forecast Conference. Despite the alarming and record-breaking decline in economic output that occurred in the second quarter, and the ongoing painful effects of the COVID-19 epidemic itself, the economy remains fundamentally strong, and in many ways is already rebounding. “The United States h...

    Tips for finding the right neighborhood

    Jane Kepley|Updated Oct 22, 2020

    As you search for the perfect home, something to consider besides bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage is the community. This will be where you socialize, exercise, where your children grow up and attend school. Roots will be established where you call home. Know what is important to you. If it's having the ability to take walks, are there plenty of trails to explore? What is the distance to work? The desk in the next room or a drive into the city? How do you feel about a Ho...

  • Dear Fallbrook voters and neighbors

    Updated Oct 22, 2020

    I’m writing this letter to express my support and to urge Fallbrook voters to consider supporting Collin Stephens who is running for the Community Planning Group. While the state of politics in our country is concerning, this nonpartisan office should be filled by someone who can see all sides of an issue – this, Collin will do. While Collin and I do not see eye to eye on every issue, we always exchange ideas freely and respectfully – a concept that seems so far away from today’s political climate. If you want to see where h...

  • Are you tired of being lied to?

    Julie Reeder, Publisher|Updated Oct 22, 2020

    We can’t trust most news shows to give us balanced true stories. It’s all about ratings. That is why I listen to news conferences and hearings pertaining to things that are important to me, like Supreme Court hearings, impeachment hearings, etc. While listening to the Muller hearings, the inspector general’s report on the origins of the FBI’s Russia inquiry and the impeachment hearings, I was amazed at how incompetent and criminal the FBI and the intelligence agencies were. T...

  • Finding joy in the spirit of true Americans

    Updated Oct 22, 2020

    “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist,” “The Usual Suspects.” I have always loved that quote. It is one that continually enters my head when reading through the myriad news, so-called news and social media posts that have overwhelmed my life on a daily basis. And this is not me whining about it, this is my job, it’s what I do and what I love. But finally, for me at least, the constant premeditated state of chaos coming out of the people’s house in Washington D.C. that has beco...

  • Kennedy cares about Fallbrook

    Updated Oct 22, 2020

    I am a longtime resident of Fallbrook that lives in NCFPD – District 1. There are few residents of Fallbrook that care about Fallbrook as much as David Kennedy does.

He is someone who will apply himself, collaborate, s...

  • Teacher's reduced time is affecting everyone

    Updated Oct 22, 2020

    Since Mrs. Eryn’s time at Bonsall High School was reduced, I have noticed that some things haven’t been as neat or organized. She has been so busy that she isn’t able to attend to all her students, this includes herself. This significantly affects her students because they cannot speak to her at the moment the question or a situation presents itself. The reason I included her in the issue is because her mental and physical health is greatly impacted by the overload of work. As a student I couldn't say I understand her stres...

  • Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.'s biggest obstacle

    Updated Oct 22, 2020

    Since Joe Biden’s nomination for the president of the United States, I have rarely heard anyone on the left state why Biden deserves to be president. Rather, I only hear about the reasons why Trump is not fit for office along with the abundance of contempt the left has for him. Even in the best laid arguments for welfare or foreign policy, nearly every single Biden pundit mandates the use of Trump’s name in their reasoning to vote for Biden. This strategy will cost Biden the election, and social media is a poignant dec...

  • Getting it right at home

    Updated Oct 22, 2020

    As a long time resident and former elected member of the Fallbrook Community Planning Group, I care about who will be making the best recommendations for our community to the San Diego Board of Supervisors. I am often asked to give insight and make recommendations for this committee that affects the future of Fallbrook. I dare to do that now. As always, action speaks louder than words. I support Stephanie Baxter to fill a seat on this committee. Through her past involvement, she knows the community and will take this work ser...

  • Scarecrows have been damaged

    Updated Oct 22, 2020

    Seven years ago as a new resident to Fallbrook I chose to know my new town by becoming a volunteer photographer of people and places so I could learn quickly. I discovered my new hometown's places and people in an accelerated way. My past experience was being a documentary filmmaker and coordinator of 100 volunteers over five years to make a movie while still working as a nurse, rehab care manager for 40 years and producing /hosting an interview program for a local cable TV. I started here in Fallbrook with the constant work...
