  • Frequency of power outages unreasonable

    Updated Nov 26, 2014

    My family has lived in the Long Beach area since 1936; I am 68 and cannot remember experiencing a power outage in that area. I am sure someone will remind me of one, but my point is that it is rare. Not so in the Fallbrook area, we have been here since 1979 and we must have been through well over 100. I believe it is long overdue that the citizens, including the chamber of commerce and the news agencies hold San Diego Gas & Electric to a higher standard. Frank Long...

  • Our event was run with integrity

    Updated Nov 26, 2014

    Much planning went into a recent fundraising event that our business, Far Away Hood, co-hosted with Sam’s Posse at our barn in Fallbrook. Deborah, of Sam’s Posse, contacted Make-A-Wish San Diego beforehand to inform them of our efforts and to be granted permission to use their name. The event was extremely uplifting and positive and our visitors were beyond generous. Then we hit a bump in the road. On Saturday, a woman approached my daughter and asked, “How much are you donating?” My daughter responded that 25 percent...

  • What the election means

    Updated Nov 26, 2014

    The election produced the lowest turnout in decades. People are just fed up with politics; feel they can’t make a difference; and would rather vote for “none of the above.” The economy is doing fabulous; a record breaking recovery from the deepest recession since the Great Depression. So why so glum? If you’re not enjoying the vast fruits of the recovery, you’re just in the wrong class. The top 10 percent never had it better – literally. Voting Republican makes a lot of sense, if you’re wealthy. There has never been... Full story

  • Re: "Should government just 'butt out?' [Letter, Village News, 9/25/14]

    Updated Nov 26, 2014

    John Terrell wrote “that the right to establish and operate a business is actually a privilege granted by the government”. I challenged Mr. Terrell in the October 9 issue to tell the readers where in the Constitution he found this stated. It is now November and have we learned of his “source?” Of course not. This is how like minds spread their philosophy - make a statement without quoting a source and then allow those statements to stand! Sounds like the way Obamacare and Common Core have been stated to the American public!...

  • The mandate

    Updated Nov 26, 2014

    On D-Day, Eisenhower did not tell his troops that we were going to defeat the Nazi’s so that we could cooperate with them. The order that Ike gave was to rid the earth of Adolph Hitler, his band of murderous thugs, and everything that they stood for. Yet, after the elections, we now hear Republicans say that they want to cooperate with Obama, so that he will move to the middle. Americans don’t want to hear this nonsense because Obama is a leftist and will remain a leftist. Americans gave the Republicans a mandate to stop Oba...

  • Thanksgiving, a time to reflect on our blessings

    Updated Nov 26, 2014

It’s a time to enjoy family and friends and to take at least a few moments to give thanks about how fortunate we Americans are to live in this land of abundance and liberty.

There were numerous Thanksgiving celebrations in early American history, including one proclaimed by George Washington to celebrate the victory over the British at Saratoga during the Revolutionary War.
