Nineteen years ago, Sept. 11, 2001, an unexpected attack occurred in America. My desire and motivation for starting the Remembering 9/11 Art Competition was to remember this very tragic day in our history. The attack on 9/11 on American soil took us all by total surprise. The shock of the attack is still hard to comprehend. Residents of New York and Washington D.C. went to work or went about their day as usual. Many of them died that tragic day and so many of our first respond...

"Our board's been supportive of the efforts...
FALLBROOK – Artists of all kinds understand the value of keeping art available for browsing and buying – especially during these challenging times. Art provides escape and healing, both for artist and viewer. Some artists have found it hard to create while others have found it becomes their own form of traveling to places undiscovered or those being captured from memory. Summer travel is severely limited; the usual "free to go about our business " manner has been replaced by...

Christal Gaines-Emory Intern When communities go through hard times, such as the coronavirus pandemic, some people react with fear, others with indignance.

They began making homemade masks for friends, family and essential workers all over the country as well as connecting with other potential mask-makers.

The watercolor was unfinished when Joan suddenly died less than one month later. This unfinished watercolor was then sold... Full story
San Diego’s jobless rate is currently at 25% according to the San Diego Association of Governments. That number is expected to grow until the “stay at home” mandate is lifted, and people are able to return to work. To put some perspective on this number, consider that in 2008 because of the Great Recession, the jobless rate was 11.1%, and we thought that was disastrous. Do you recall the fallout in real estate because of an 11.1% jobless rate? I do. Thousands of people lost... Full story

Wendy Hammarstrom Special to Village News One of the fascinating things about Fallbrook I noticed since my first day here is the abundance of wise and creative women of all ages, each with their own story to tell. I recently met Alicia Santacroce, who is in her mid-80s and has the spirit and grace of a young woman. Known by many for her goat cheese with the garlic and herbs she grows, much of her time is taken up with her anthroposophy studies based on the work of Rudolf Stein... Full story

While 2019 seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, there were many notable happenings in Fallbrook and Bonsall during those 12 months. Weather-wise, the year started out much the same way as it ended, wet and cold. More streets flooded in February than in recent storms which affected several holiday events. The biggest crime story of the year was the trial of Charles Merritt for the killing of the McStay family. While the trial took place in San Bernardino, the family was from Fallbrook and went missing almost 10 years ago.... Full story

Since that time, his talent and s... Full story
