The location of the future specially-adapted home for Marine Private First Class Isaac Blunt is on Avenida de Nog, but heavy rains a few days prior to the groundbreaking event caused it to be moved to Christ the King Lutheran Church on South Stage Coach Lane.

Fallbrook Healthcare District (FHD) is changing its name. Effective Feb. 1, FHD will be known as Fallbrook Regional Health District.

In the wake of Proposition 64 passing in California, it may be wise for Fallbrook to embrace its history with marijuana. As avocados become more difficult to grow with drought, cannabis has continued to spring up easily.

With Christmas on it's way, and having thought we had things in order, we had our septic tank collapse. I let the dogs out first thing in the morning, with my coffee in hand, and found a huge hole in the asphalt road which winds around the side of the property. Thank goodness my Dane and Ridgeback didn't fall in. My husband and I found Septic Solutions right away, and that same day Wayne came over to inspect the problem. The workers started the next open day they had and finished in two days. Their precision was like...
It was no surprise to me that Justin Cunningham, superintendent of Bonsall schools, said in an interview with the Village News after the failure of Proposition DD, that he’s sad that the bond measure did not pass but they’re going ahead with their plans for a new school at Gird Road and Route 76, anyway. “We have the money to get started,” he claimed. I wager that they’ll soon be back with another Proposition, at their earliest opportunity, to hammer on the taxpayer, and make people feel guilty for not supporting their gra...
