Call me a cynic, but I think the educrats plan it this way. They wait for challenges to pass, like Propositions 74 and 75, and then when they win, they literally spit in the voter’s face. The latest outrage: the effort of these educrats to avoid any accountability for doing their job. By way of background, in 1999, in his first year as Governor, Gray Davis passed a milquetoast education package, intended to improve our schools. He also proposed a high school exit exam, a final test that would determine if the school d...
Please note and inform your readers of the following typo in your 11/17/05 edition of my desalination article. The sentence “However, this waste steam contains a considerable amount of high purity potable water at low cost” should have read “However, this waste steam contains a considerable amount of energy which can be used in a [vacuum] distillation plant to convert seawater into very high purity potable water at very low cost.” Editor’s Note: We apologize for the typographical error....
I have known Bruce Thompson for a long time and I was upset to see his integrity and qualifications questioned by a person I have never heard of, Dee Lanzillo. Bruce Thompson is above reproach morally, professionally and politically. He is a successful businessman, a Presidential appointee and an involved father and grandfather. He has done much during his career to make Fallbrook a better place to live. I will continue to support him for supervisor regardless of propaganda put out by persons like Lanzillo. Come to think of...
You struck a sour note with me. The majority of other law-abiding, God-fearing citizens of this community and I take offense to being called immature and stupid, among other things. While I do agree with your four statements of a PERFECT LIFE, the rest of your writings only serve to further decay the morals of our society. In an effort to profile you I am having difficulty pinpointing where you are coming from. It is evident by your writings that you are well read but definitely not a parent or a responsible individual. A Bab... Full story
I don’t know about you, but I guess I’m like every other resident in the “friendly barrio;” when I receive my water bill, I just pay it without question. This time I sat down and looked at the bill and got really angry. I saw the breakdown of my bill, which shows that I only use $6.88 in actual water usage (going funky) and the rest of my bill — over $140 — is delegated to other bloated costs. Let’s break down what I pay to this water district. For a water meter that is decades old, rusting in the ground, I pay. For a ch...
One of the glaring problems with American foreign policy is the number of outright cowards we count as allies. The constant whining and hand-wringing coming from our friends is hard to deal with. It seems that everyone is afraid of confrontation. It seems that we are so entangled in profit centers (international trade) that we only have corporate interests, not national interests. As I started my morning scan of the national and international press, I came upon an interesting headline on “insight on the news.” The hea... Full story
I was disappointed to see the Village News felt the rantings of Dee Lanzillo were fit to print on Thanksgiving Day. She repeatedly referenced apples and oranges, but I kept thinking nuts. Her ‘food for thought’ was a heaping helping of misleading comments and attacks on Bruce Thompson. She also attacked Bill Horn, her former boss, as disgruntled employees who are asked to resign often do. Though sometimes hard to swallow, freedom of speech should be honored even when it produces garbage spewed by a failed political hack. In r...
The Fallbrook Planning Group’s (FPG) proposed realignment of SR-76 will trash Bonsall. They propose a split alignment, retaining the existing highway north of the river (for their convenience) and a new four-lane (expandable to six-lane) freeway south of the river to take all of the Riverside County and Orange County commuter traffic as well as the dump, gravel pit and casino traffic. Normally the FPG acts in a reasonable and rational manner; unfortunately, this proposal does not reflect any of those attributes. FPG says, “We... Full story
As a California glaucoma patient whose emancipation has just been challenged by the San Diego County Supervisors, I find it utterly repulsive to read of Supervisor Bill Horn invoking Rosa Parks. The bad law that requires repudiation is the prohibition of cannabis....
As a local Hispanic of Fallbrook, I was offended by this piece of work. They make it seem like every Hispanic who comes to Fallbrook brings trash with them. Not all of us are a bunch of no-good criminals. Some of us are actually trying to make a difference in this town. That was a cheap shot about the calling cards, so we can’t communicate with our families. Even if Fallbrook is turning into a little barrio, who says if it’s bad thing or not? Latinos will dominate one day. It will probably be better for the US. See, you giv...
Your letter sounded so depressing. Marines try not to dwell on that trash. Mission accomplishment is paramount. Sure, those things that you speak of are around somewhere in a Marine’s head, but firmly pushed to the very back. We signed up to serve our country, so please, don’t cry and wonder, “What are you doing to our youth?” That’s more insulting than anything. We are proud to serve. Why are you angry? This is the life of a Marine. Don’t be sad — but continue being angry. Continue to be angry that terrorists are trying to... Full story
I’m quite sure of the basic facts, but time and age have dimmed my memory of the exact details. Nevertheless, the basic facts are these. Perhaps 150 years ago, a leader within the English government in London (probably the elected Prime Minister of that time) had brought the county to the brink of disaster due to wrong and irrational decisions he had made. Unfortunately, he could not accept his own shortcomings, on the fact that he was a major part of the problem and not of the solution. Finally, a leading member of the P...
On Monday, November 21, several residents on Inverlochy Drive in Fallbrook’s Peppertree Park had their water turned off without any notice, leaving one 85-year-old man in the shower with soap from head to toe. When the water was turned back on several residents had air in their pipes, causing annoying “moaning sounds.” One resident said all her sprinklers “blew.” Because it happened in the morning at approximately 10:30 a.m. many residents were at work. Residents were not informed by the Fallbrook Public Utility District (FPU... Full story

CAMP PENDLETON — On November 18, a new sign for the Camp Pendleton Memorial Garden was unveiled and dedicated. The sign was donated by Mrs. Jan Ward, a member of the Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores Docents, in memory of her late husband, Mr. Eugene “Gene” Ward. Gene had been a member of the group from 2001 until his death in 2004. It was after Gene’s death that Jan joined the organization, as it made her feel closer to him. The sign is being donated in Gene’s memory, as he was a veteran of WWII and was a patriot to the co...

FALLBROOK — Last month the Fallbrook branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) held a mahjong tournament with a full house of participants. The grand prize winner of the nativity quilt made by Araxy Moosa was Lini Bennett. There were approximately 90 players who vied for high and low scores at each table. Each was awarded prizes, as were the many who bought raffle tickets. Barbara Loehnert actively pursued local merchants and businesses to donate prizes for the raffle and there were excellent choices to b...

FALLBROOK — Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company (Fireman’s Fund) recently announced it awarded the DeLuz Volunteer Fire Department an $8,050 grant to purchase emergency pagers and 12 sets of fire-resistant clothing, frequently referred to as “turnout gear.” The pagers are critical for volunteer fire departments, whose firefighters must be called to the scene of a fire or emergency. The department is a two-time Fireman’s Fund grant recipient. In 2004, the company awarded the department $14,000 toward the building of an around-the... Full story
