TEMECULA - A real estate concern's $67 million lawsuit against Riverside County for alleged breach of contract is set for trial later this month, despite repeated requests by county attorneys to have the suit summarily dismissed. The Temecula-based French Valley Business Center LLC is seeking compensation and damages for the county's alleged decision in 2009 to back out of a project that involved erecting a new office complex for the district attorney's and public defender's offices.

We would like to invite you to join us or to support us with a tax deductible donation.

The Fallbrook Alumni Association would like to extend a most sincere and grateful “thank you” to many of our local merchants. The success of our annual picnic at Live Oak Park on October 16 was due, in large part, to the generosity of the businesses in Fallbrook and the surrounding communities. The fundraisers (both a silent auction and an opportunity drawing for gifts) were made possible and successful because of the items they so kindly gave. We truly appreciate their support for “our kids.” We are unable to list all of... Full story
On a recent Sunday afternoon, my wife Helen and I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural Fall Concert performed by the Fallbrook Chamber Orchestra. It is planned to be an annual event. We listened to classical selections by Mozart, Handel, Strauss and Telemann; violin solos, concertos and sonatas; Finnish folk music to mariachi pieces. The execution of the music was carried out with the grace and power of an established professional orchestra. What makes this Chamber Orchestra so unique is that it is comprised of...
I hate to be the first to mention it… but has anyone noticed the roof of the new $11 million Fallbrook Library? It died! Apparently this is someone’s “green” brainchild that just didn’t make it into the sustainable stage and is now all dirt and dead brown plants. It is a very unattractive sight as one drives along Mission Rd. We have this, in the Avocado Capitol of the World, where fruits and flowers grow in abundance? Also, wouldn’t stairs have been nice going from the upper parking area down to the lower parking are... Full story
As they say, “there is always a first time for everything.” On Nov. 2, at about 5:20 p.m., I was on Interstate 15 and vehicles came to a crawl. It appeared there was an accident up ahead. With traffic so bad, I decided to exit at Old Highway 395, rather than the SR76 exit to get home. We were moving slowly, maybe two or three miles per hour when all of a sudden a semi truck rear-ended my Camry. It was a jolt, but the impact was not cause for injury. I pulled off to the shoulder as did the semi driver. I said to the driver “Yo...
It was a pleasure to attend the SEMA show in Las Vegas Nov. 1 through 4 and easy to see why it is well attended by members of the automotive aftermarket industry from all over the world. For our upcoming Motorsports section in the Village News, which is scheduled to launch in early 2012, it enabled me to search out and identify manufacturers from Southern California who sell to the world. We will be writing informative articles about them all the way up until next year’s SEMA...

The way Cyndi Lauper performed on stage – and while going into the audience on occasion – during her Nov. 3 concert at Pala Casino’s Infinity nightclub wouldn’t lead anybody to believe that she’s actually 58 years old. While Lauper’s enthusiasm and movements didn’t show her age, the theme of her concert made it clear that she’s old enough to have experienced the civil rights and women’s rights movements. Lauper herself is a women’s pioneer since she was the fir...
