FALLBROOK – On Oct. 30, 1938, long time Fallbrook resident Don Foulkes was 16 years old and living in Peabody, Mass. He was a senior in high school. Foulkes' mother had given him a book of a collection of stories by H. G. Wells. The night before Halloween in 1938, the Foulkes family followed their usual routine listening to the weekly radio broadcast of the Mercury Radio Theater.

Ian Murdock Special to the Village News Genius – which somehow slipped by me a few months ago – is a riveting tale, one that brought me down memory lane. While watching the unparallel acting performances and story, I was thrust right back to my high school days – when reading the timeless writers of this era (the focus of this film) was part of my, and most students, schooling. Covering the era of the "Roaring 1920's" and the ensuing "Great Depression", this true story – the discovery of the infamous writer Thomas Wolfe ... Full story

There is some question whether the band Toto took its name from Dorothy's dog in The Wizard of Oz or from the Latin word for entirety. The Toto concert Sept. 10 at Pala Casino's Palomar Starlight Theater weighs the belief toward the concept of entirety. Toto singer and guitarist Steve Lukather and keyboardists David Paich and Steve Porcaro have been with the band since Toto was formed in 1977. The current band also includes lead vocalist Joseph Williams, drummer Shannon Forest, and bassist Leland Sklar. The touring...
While the main attraction to the Fallbrook Jazz and Wine Festival on Sept. 16 was the music, Fallbrook restaurants and wineries did a fantastic job representing themselves as well. Guests were able to enjoy food from all over North County, but for those in the VIP area, it was hard to pull away from the delicious food prepared by The Veranda, Grand Tradition’s own restaurant. As VIP guests entered the Beverly Mansion, they were given a spread of beautiful appetizers, such a... Full story

Ian Murdock Special to the Village News When I first read the synopsis of the film Hell or High Water – having not even seen the previews – I thought to myself, this looks like a goldmine. In anticipation of seeing it, I read a couple of reviews from big national newspapers. Both ranked it a one hundred – and I can't recall seeing that happen before, or very often. I also noted that it was the same writer as Sicario – which arguably ranks as one of the finest drug cartel...
A true potluck is totally unplanned and can be an adventure in eating. I remember one grange potluck that consisted of several dishes of beans of various kinds and there was one Daughters of Norway (DON) potluck that was mostly desserts, but those were exceptions. In my experience, potlucks are usually delicious meals. It is amazing how well a potluck can turn out, especially if there is a theme to it. The DON potluck lunches usually feature several Scandinavian dishes but als... Full story

With schools back in session, some parents may be looking for tips on filling their children's lunch boxes, but students aren't the only ones who take lunch with them when they leave home in the morning. I have been making my own lunch since I started first grade (that's what happens when you are the sixth of 10 kids and Mom gets tired of making lunches). My lunches weren't very healthy back then (sandwich, chips and cookies), and pre-packaged lunch items later on weren't much... Full story
