Healthcare facilities in San Diego County are preparing for a worst-case scenario... receiving a patient with the Ebola virus. Dr. Wilma Wooten, public health officer for the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency, said the possibility of an Ebola patient being received locally is real and explained why. “We are a global community; people travel here and there; they fly here from other locations; it’s certainly possible,” she said.

Administrators of Fallbrook Hospital (Community Health Systems) held a public hearing Oct. 14 at Fallbrook Public Utility District to talk to community members about plans for emergency services, based on the fact that the Tennessee-based corporation gave notice to terminate their lease effective Nov. 17.

Though the decision to end services is supp... Full story
Fallbrook’s Denton sisters took first and second place in the Oceanside Harbor Days children’s fishing derby Sept. 27. Nine-year-old Dacy Denton won first place for the second year in a row. Eleven-year-old Dara Denton had the second-place catch. Places in the derby for children 13 and under are determined by the weight of the largest fish caught rather than by the number of fish caught. Parents are allowed to accompany their children and to provide advice, although the chi...

The closing of the Fallbrook Hospital is worrisome. It does sound like the Fallbrook Healthcare District board of directors is taking thoughtful action. As a retired firefighter and resident, I am concerned about emergency care for the community. Will the “urgent care” facility provided in the new organization accept walk-in emergency patients? Will the fire department be able to transport emergency patients to the facility? What level of emergency care would they provide? How does the fire department feel about this sor...
I am Christopher A Quality Handyman here in Fallbrook. I went through a bout of depression starting in June through September of this year. It was one of the worst I have gone through. I don’t know if you know anyone that suffers from this, which would help you understand. The feeling of depression is the worst feeling a human being can go through. It is like you do not want to exist, or be alive. To do a simple act like answering the phone, checking a voice mail, or to go grocery shopping feels completely overwhelming. It hi... Full story
In a previous thank you letter, the Reche Community Club forgot to mention their appreciation for the 4H girls who volunteered to serve meals at our function. Without their help, the Chicken Pot Pie Fundraiser would not be possible. Thank you! Michael Bermudez President Reche Community Club...
We all received a document in the mail from the Vallecitos School District supporting their ill-conceived variable interest rate bond. This four-color mailer cost thousands of dollars to create, print, and mail. But we will pay for it. Taxpayer money pays to promote the bond that they will have us pay for over the next 25 years with no guarantee of a cap on the cost. Is there something wrong with this picture? The district failed the community. They did not have a town hall meeting at the Grange to discuss the bond, or put...
For the past several months, the Fallbrook Public Utility District (FPUD) has claimed their attempt to take over and dissolve Rainbow Municipal Water District is in everyone’s best interest, but that simply isn’t true. For over 30 years, we at Oak Crest Estates have held a joint permit with Rainbow for the operation of a waste-water treatment plant. Like many other Rainbow customers, we’ve established a great relationship with the District that has allowed us to maintain our treatment facility and keep costs low. But FPUD...
How ironic to read “Romney in 2016” and “Is American Dream dying in Fallbrook” printed side by side in the Oct. 16 issue of the Village News. Yes Cathy, the American dream is dying in the USA due to bloated government given free pass by the Thordarson’s seemingly drinking the “Hope and Change” kool-aid daily, exhibiting no common sense whatsoever. To clarify, the American Dream is not dying due to residents living along the Avocado Marathon’s running route who do not appreciate being locked in or out of their driveways to ac... Full story
The end of Fallbrook Hospital as we know it is a casualty of over four decades of “managed care” and its Byzantine ensnarement in multiple networks, all operating concurrently. Unless bankrolled by generous endowments and patrons, independent, non-profit hospitals are an endangered species. “Managed care” started with HMOs as early as 1910, had a modest expansion as a result of the Depression (Blue Cross and Blue Shield), and were used as a business recruiting and retention tool in the aftermath of World War II. That’s...
There are only 1,078 registered voters in the Vallecitos School District. Given voter apathy, we will be lucky if 30 to 40 percent vote. Assume two voters per property, then there are 500 properties in the district that could be affected by the new tax. For the measure to pass, Prop O would need 55 percent in favor. Assume 300 vote on the measure, then only 165 voters could decide in favor of the tax that will affect 500 properties (1,000 people). Don’t let this happen Vote ... Full story
