Researching at the library is a given for students and others who want the latest news on subjects diverse as astronomy to Wall Street. Now the “virtual” library is augmenting shelves of books and magazines and, most importantly, reducing research time to minutes instead of days. With its banks of computers and the recent addition of WiFi, the Fallbrook branch of the San Diego Library system offers it all — for free! Although a paperless society is still a long way off and nothing will replace the comfort of curling up with...

I am a senior at Fallbrook High school and Mr. Oder is my government teacher. Just listening to him speak is amazing; he is passionate and intelligent. He is one of the finest teachers that I have had. His attitude toward his students is not “heck with the students” but rather a mutual respect. I admire his passion for teaching. How many people do you know who can speak with such devotion and fervor for the students and our teachers? Rachel Polley...
(Continued from last week’s issue of the Village News) The human population of the planet is estimated to now have passed six billion people. But are large numbers themselves a problem? Europe for example has higher population densities than Asia. There are more than two sides to the debate on whether population numbers equate to over-population or not. The food scarcity part of the argument in the population debate is an interesting one — people are hungry not because the population is growing so fast that food becoming sca... Full story
Relatively few Americans are aware that the destruction of the United States is well underway. How can this be? It is because the federal government wants to entangle us in a North American Cooperative Security Act with Canada and Mexico. This Act will be used as a stepping stone to build a North American Union (NAU) similar to the European Union (EU). Our borders with Canada and Mexico will be erased, and we will be subjected to rulings from an unelected NAU governing body. We will lose our sovereignty and our...
The Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary has been sited for zoning regulation violations and has been ordered to cease and desist. We are writing this in hopes that someone can help us. Since 2002 the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary has taken in, housed, rehabilitated and re-homed over 500 animals. This is a much-needed organization. Fallbrook and Bonsall do not have any animal shelters. The surrounding animal shelters are not able to help this area most of the time. There are numerous animals that need our help and deserve a second...
We thought it important to inform everyone in the Gum Tree area that we have had a mountain lion coming to our property for the last month. On October 15 it attacked and killed one of our cats right next to our house at 2 a.m. Our dog scared it and I watched as it ran away. It came again on Wednesday, October 25, at 5:10 a.m. and killed, and got away with, our second cat. Finally, last night, October 30, between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. we lost our third cat. When this first started happening, we couldn’t believe that we could a...

Her initiative in promoting a way to support the maintenance of our downtown trees through her business is amazing. Here it is. As part of her holiday merchandise Marie will be selling Christmas tree ornaments and one especially for the...
Great article on a great wrestler, coach and a fine human being. Coach Oliver is an outstanding individual that I have the utmost respect for. He is a fellow Sun Devil and All-American. Great move by Fallbrook. Marco Sanchez, ASU ’88...
November 12-18 is Retired Teachers’ Week. I would like to praise the heroes in our schools. Too many people are looking for heroes in all the wrong places. Movie stars and rock musicians, athletes and models aren’t heroes; they’re celebrities. Heroes abound in public schools, a fact that doesn’t make the news. There is no precedent for the level of violence, drugs, broken homes, child abuse and crime in today’s America. Education didn’t create these problems but deals with them every day. Last year the average schoolteach...
On behalf of the neighbors on and around Alturas, I would like to thank the Department of Environmental Services and Code Enforcement for helping us clean up a few unsightly issues, the Department of Public Works for clearing the weeds from the street by the cemetery and the cemetery volunteers who trim the trees, cut back the weeds and keep it from becoming a forgotten overgrown patch. Thank you to whoever repaired, painted and cleared the weeds and cut back the trees at the Alturas Park. Thank you to the Community...
I am a traveler of De Luz Road Monday through Friday. I must confess that this road is, to say the least, an experience that I won’t soon forget. The mornings bring drivers in and out for the working people, and also school buses full of young teens and elementary school children. Do you have children on these buses? Well, if you do, I would be very concerned about some of the drivers on this winding road. Every day that I travel this road to work or to go home I come across someone who couldn’t care less about their lif... Full story
