For Fallbrook residents Paul and Diane Garrett, life is pretty simple: “Do what you can, for those you can.” It’s a philosophy that the couple have lived by since they began their Temecula based nonprofit The BetterWorld Trust. For Paul Garrett, who is 91, it goes back even further than that. “He had the idea for The BetterWorld Trust when he was in 20s,” Diane Garrett said. “He even got his incorporation.” The BetterWorld Trust is Paul Garrett’s lifelong vision of creat...

What goes better for Thanksgiving dinner than a perfectly roasted turkey? Every year in my house we make our turkey the same way, using my grandmother’s recipe found in her Betty Crocker cookbook and handed down to me over the years. So this year when my family made it known they would like to try something different, I did what any good wife and mother would do. I took to the internet and found these gems, testing each in my own kitchen. I followed each recipe carefully, and... Full story

Mike Mason Special to the Village News Everyone has heard the three most important factors in real estate are “Location, Location, Location,” right?

However, there is so much more to successfully selling a home in today’s market. The truth is there are three dynamics that are important – location, condition and price. Of t...

I am adding my voice to those who have already spoken and written against the proposed rate increases by the FPUD Board of Directors. In reviewing their proposal, it is obvious that setting annual increases relieves the board as well as the staff from tightening their financial belt as the rest of us have to do. In addition to rate increases, the fees to the agencies who provide water add additional costs and if you check your property taxes, you will note fees to MWD are there as well. As evidence of this, I noted an article...
Within the past month, five scouts from Manhattan Beach, Calif. launched a high altitude balloon. This balloon goes up into the atmosphere at least 100,000 meters and expands to about 25 feet across. Attached to the balloon is a payload containing many experiments such as what would happen to popcorn in a high altitude. Sadly, there was a miscommunication and the satellite tracker had not been turned on. The predicted landing area was within 10 miles of Fallbrook. We ask that you keep a look out for it. The payload is big...

Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 (R) More than 14 percent of the nation’s agricultural exports come from California. The state produces over one-third of the country’s vegetables and two-thirds of the fruits and nuts. Contrary to what many in Northern California may think, much of California’s abundance originates in Southern California. The farms and farmers here are unique in many ways. First of all, San Diego has the second highest number of farms in the entire Unite...

For example, some of the common triggers for t... Full story
SACRAMENTO – Lung cancer is California’s leading cause of cancer deaths, and every year nearly 17,000 Californians are diagnosed with the disease, more than any other state. During Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the American Lung Association’s Lung Force initiative is highlighting the availability of a new lifesaving tool: lung cancer screening. One reason why lung cancer is so deadly is because by the time a person shows symptoms, it may already have spread and become more difficult to treat. Lung cancer screening with a low...
